Including the Wu family of Liyang and the Sun family of Jinbo, the twelve princes and their families all have their own inheritance and family traditions. For example, the Sun family has always been good at planning and colluding, and can always gather advantages quietly. Until now.
It has become an unparalleled domineering force across the rivers and rivers.
In comparison, the Wu family is famous for being upright and brave. This style made Wu famous for his bravery on the battlefield, and also won the hearts of the Liyang people outside the battlefield. For example, during the previous turmoil when Prince Shang was killed, the Wu family
Defeat with bravery
He defeated the coalition of princes led by the Sun family, thus causing a serious setback in his pursuit of hegemony. Although the Wu family was never timid about fighting in battle, he lacked immunity to conspiracies and tricks, and was therefore frequently plotted by Jinbo.
Just like this time.
Failing to detect Jinbo's plot in advance, it can be said that Wu's frame-up was a foregone conclusion, but what concerned Wu Yan the most was not the conspiracy itself, but the unknown gang that staged this clumsy drama.
According to the report of the Secret Investigation Department, not only did the gang members have strong military commanders, but they were also well-trained as a whole. Even the Yuqi Battalion was unable to catch up with their tracks. By now, it can be basically concluded that the gang members were
Dang and Jinbo wear the same pants.
The Oniwa species were released in Kinoji last time, and this time they attacked the Imperial Envoy Ship Formation in Shirakawa Port. Such a powerful enemy force lurking in their own territory is an extremely worrying fact for any territorial government.
The Secret Investigation Department of Liyang Mansion was originally established to prevent this kind of damage. However, the frequent consular affairs outbreaks in recent years have forced the Secret Investigation Department to focus on assisting the consular government in handling crises, and it is difficult to free up its hands to deal with those latent forces. Although Wu
Yan once thought it was a helpless choice, but at this moment he couldn't help but wake up——
It is not because of frequent crises that the Liyang government cannot take action. We should think about it the other way around. The reason why Liyang’s consular affairs have continued to deteriorate in recent years is probably because of this group of gangsters behind the scenes. If this is the case, Liyang wants to really
To usher in stability, this force must be uprooted.
Wu Yan raised his head and looked at the thin director of the Secret Investigation Department.
As if responding to the leader's gaze, Zhang Ji nodded slightly.
Ever since Kinozu was pulled out by the Juvenile Division, the evil party that was originally lurking in the dark has continued to show its fangs uncharacteristically. What forced the opponent to give up its concealment advantage and rush to the surface is still uncertain, but it is believed that
Compared with the previous situation where you were blinded and couldn't even find your opponent, targets with clear whereabouts are undoubtedly much easier to deal with.
Now that the existence of the evil party's phantom has been confirmed, the Secret Investigation Department will definitely list it as a priority to eliminate in the future. Zhang Ji confirmed this matter in a silent exchange with the chief, but other than that, there was no clear focus in the discussion that day.
Two days later, the Jinbo Prefecture issued an official document in which he angrily accused the Wu family of Liyang of conniving with the mob under his rule and openly attacking the imperial envoy ship formation, causing a large number of casualties to the inspector Zhu Shen and many of his followers.
This news caused a violent uproar in the court. Although Liyang Mansion immediately refuted it, accusing Jinbo Mansion of writing and directing this tragedy and trying to blame Li Yang for his despicable behavior. The two parties with different opinions sent envoys to the court.
Promote your own ideas.
While dispatching the envoys, Jinbo Mansion also issued the slogan "Seeking justice for the killed soldiers" and mobilized two naval forces along the Shangli River to Liyang to advance slowly. Liyang Mansion, which had never shown weakness in the battle, also sent a Yuqi battalion to attack the enemy.
Close to the border, ready to enter Jinbo Territory at any time.
In an instant, the two groups of powerful men stood in a posture of bayonet and bloodshed.
The suddenly tense situation caused the neighboring princes to be stunned.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
"You said Li Yang wants to go to war with Jinbo!?"
In the steel armored vehicle, the bearded soldier looked at the bald beast user with wide eyes.
In most cases, Soldier Guo Bei gave people a calm and reliable impression. Although his character was slightly broken at this moment, everyone present was not in the mood to care about it. After all, the news brought by Cui Wu was too shocking.
Gu Chen took a deep breath to calm down, and glanced at the back compartment. The steel armored back compartment was adjusted into a temporary conference room, and those gathered here were all the core members of Gewufang. Thanks to Guo Bei, everyone showed their shock, and Gu Chen also saved the time.
Try to sort out your emotions and make a calm conclusion after thinking for a while.
"I don't think there will be a war. After all, neither side is ready."
Gu Chen shook his head and said.
As the power of the imperial court weakened, wars among princes were no longer uncommon in modern times. However, the twelve princely states each had their own unique resources, and the strength of the princely states was not so disparate that they could be conquered in one fell swoop without considering the damage.
On the contrary, they will be very cautious when launching a war.
Last time, Prince Shang was killed, and Jinbo united with several princes to take advantage of the chaos to invade Liyang. The dominant coalition forces were defeated by a new female hero before they succeeded, and Prince Kang, the leader of the coalition forces, was also seriously injured and died. This war not only severely damaged Liyang
His vitality also caused the Jinbo Sun family's prestige among the princes to plummet.
At this moment, less than ten years have passed since the war that hurt both sides. Although Liyang is struggling in the mud, the situation on Jinbo's side may not be better than before. Without absolute certainty of winning Liyang, even Jinbo Prefecture
Brazenly provoking a war at this moment will only waste national power and end up benefiting other princes in vain.
Jinbo's dispatch of naval troops to approach the border should be just some kind of intimidation. Of course, the situation is similar here in Liyang.
As the Juvenile Supervisor, Gu Chen rarely interferes in government affairs, but he also knows that the current empty treasury of Liyang Mansion cannot withstand a war.
"It turns out both parties were bluffing, right?"
"...Yes, as expected."
Beastmaster Cui Wu nodded belatedly, seeming to be slowly adapting to Gu Chen's new identity.
After adjusting his mood, Cui Wu continued the introduction. Jinbo Prefecture sent two naval forces, and Liyang Prefecture dispatched a Yuqi battalion. Both sides gathered troops on the border, each occupying the advantage of water and land to deter each other. The tense situation caused the neighboring princes to
There was great tension, but as Gu Chen said, neither side was ready for war, so the confrontation did not escalate further.
"It's like a staring game. Whoever blinks first loses, right? Although this metaphor is a bit strange..." Soldier Guo Bei scratched his chin beard in confusion, with a relieved but troubled look on his face.
look.
"Humph, such a big thing happened while I was away... What will happen next? Even if the Jinbo gangsters frame the blame, the emperor's imperial envoy died in Liyang and it won't just be forgotten, right?" Villain Gun
He folded his arms across his chest, showing regret for missing a good show.
"I can't know the specific situation, but I heard from the young lady that this matter seems to have caused a big fuss in the emperor's territory. It seems that the twelve princes have sent envoys to inquire, and I heard that several groups of people started arguing in front of the emperor.
, but in the end it was Liyang Mansion that was questioned the most..." Cui Wu said hesitantly.
"Hey, hey! The trouble was obviously caused by the Jinbo thieves, why is it still being blamed on me, Li Yang?"
The soldier Guo Bei smacked his tongue, and the faces of Sha Zu and others next to him were full of anger. Although most pioneers were reluctant to get too close to the government, since it was related to the safety and security of their own territory, of course both sides would agree to deal with the outside world.
"I heard that the imperial court has not made a ruling, and the other princes and princes have decided not to intervene in the matter for the time being. It seems that they intend to temporarily suspend trade exchanges with Liyang and Jinbo until the truth of the matter is found out..."
"Wait, you said to interrupt trade?" Gu Chen, who was listening silently, suddenly interrupted.
