Chapter 302 Retreat?
Tuoba Tao has been gloomy since the day Tongwan Outer City was breached.

If it wasn't for Hua Mulan's horse standing in front of him at that time, he would have rushed into the East City with Yao Yu to kill him!But now he can only sit in the tent and guess her situation inside out of thin air.

After Tongwan Outer City was breached, the Wei army suspended the siege to sort out and distribute the spoils due to the large amount of supplies seized.

In Tuoba Tao's view, the soldiers' morale would be greatly boosted after they got these trophies, and then they would attack the East City in one go.

As long as the east city is captured, enough food and grass can be seized. As long as the west city is besieged to death, He Lianchang will only have two choices: surrender or starve to death.

It was precisely because Tuoba Tao had a good idea that when Qin Zhongzhi asked him to retreat, he frowned and showed dissatisfaction.

Qin Zhongzhi smiled respectfully, "If Your Majesty forcibly attacks the city at this time, let alone whether food and grass can be supplied in time, how many soldiers will be killed or injured. The Tongwan City that was forcibly captured is just a ruin. There is nothing else used."

Qin Zhongzhi took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve pocket, held it in both hands and handed it to Tuoba Tao, "What Immortal Fairy means is that I have to ask you to play a show with her. As long as you pretend to retreat, it will take seven or eight days at least, or as many as two days." In half a month, Xian Ji promises that the Wei army will take Tongwan City with the least casualties."

Tuoba Tao took the bamboo slips, and there was only a line of small characters engraved on it, which could be seen as Tan Yaoyu's notes.

Tuoba Tao put the bamboo slips in his chest, stared at Qin Zhongzhi and asked, "Tell me first, what exactly is Tan inviting Yu to Tongwan City for?"

Just as Qin Zhongzhi was about to answer with a smile, Tuoba Tao raised his hand to stop him, "Don't tell me about the Fire Worship Cult. Instead of asking me to give her a few days, she might as well just open the city gate from the inside. Wait." My army has flattened Tongwan City, how can a cult supported by Emperor Xia survive for a long time?"

When Tuoba Tao said this, his whole body was full of momentum.He leaned forward slightly, like a beast ready to pounce, his eyes locked on Qin Zhongzhi.It seemed that as long as Qin Zhongzhi dared to tell a lie in front of him, he would be torn apart.

Although Qin Zhongzhi had been a counselor beside Tuoba Pojun, this was the first time he had dealt directly with Tuoba Tao.

Considering that Tuoba Pojun was willing to die for the young emperor, Qin Zhongzhi couldn't think much of Tuoba Tao.

It's just that at this time he somewhat understood Tuoba Pojun's approach.If it were not for Tan Yuanyu, maybe this Emperor Wei would have really achieved great things in the first place?
Even under the threat of Tuoba Tao, Qin Zhongzhi still said calmly, "When it comes to fighting, Your Majesty should know better than foreign ministers. The city gate has always been the most heavily guarded place. Even if Xian Ji is extremely powerful, It is also difficult to open the city gate unscathed in the rain of arrows. The ministers believe that His Majesty does not want Xian Ji to take risks."

When it comes to pinching people's weaknesses, Qin Zhongzhi is one of the best.Even if it was due to the etiquette of the allies, Tuoba Tao couldn't say in front of Qiu Chi's right minister that he didn't care if Tan Yaoyu was injured.

What's more, he really cares.

Tuoba Tao felt that the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his life was to leave Pingcheng for the sake of hegemony.

In fact, not long after Tan invited Yu to leave, Tuoba Tao began to prepare for Xia Xia.It can be said that I am busy every day without touching the ground.

But even so, he still felt a certain emptiness in his heart, and it seemed that no amount of government affairs could fill this emptiness.

When the countries received the news that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was alive, they more or less took action.Only in the Northern Wei Dynasty, just like a deep pool, the stone Yuxi was dropped, and it didn't even produce many ripples.

Tuoba Tao couldn't figure it out, no matter where Tan Yaoyu appeared, it seemed that something big would happen.

How many believers come and go to the Horseshoe Temple in Beiliang every day, and the sound of chanting sutras in meditation every day, it is estimated that the Buddha's ears can hear cocoons.

But as soon as Tan invited Yu to go, the Golden Buddha offered treasures?As long as a person who understands this matter thinks about it, it will be strange.

Tuoba Tao is very clear that Tan Yaoyu is not the reincarnation of heaven and man at all, but others believe in Tan Yaoyu, and he is also happy to see it succeed.

Tuoba Tao had already thought up his speech, and once someone in the court mentioned this matter, he would make the matter of Tan inviting rain to cast a golden man public.

Although Tan Yaoyu was not born as a noble daughter of Xianbei, as long as she has the jade seal and the reincarnation of heaven and man, no one can compete with her for the position of queen.

But the strange thing is that regarding this matter, there was silence in the court.Everyone is arguing fiercely about the preparations for Faxia, but the fact that Yuxi is in the world is just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.

Even Cui Hao, as if he didn't understand Tuoba Tao's several insinuating points, kept silent.

Tuoba Tao soon understood that no one was on the same side as him in the matter of Li Tan inviting Yu to be his empress.

But so what?

By God's favor, Yao Yu returned to his control after going round and round. This time, Tuoba Tao made up his mind to bring Tan Yaoyu back.

Even if Qin Zhongzhi and Zhu Rong are held hostage, Tan Yaoyu must be his queen first.

As for the courtiers, at most they just talked about it for a few days.If they still refuse to accept it, let them find a woman who can help him conquer Rouran and Xia Chao, just like Tan Yaoyu.

Tuoba Tao guessed that if Tan Yaoyu knew that he had lied to her, and the hand-cast gold figure was still placed in his bedroom, he would probably scold him and alienate him again.

But Tuoba Tao didn't care anymore, he would rather see Tan Yaoyu angrily confronting him all day than not getting her loss and suffering.

"I can promise you and pretend to withdraw my troops," Tuoba Tao said to Qin Zhongzhi unexpectedly calmly, "it's just that what I want is not just to unify the city. I heard that Qiu Chi's right minister knows how to judge people's hearts best. I don't think I will say it." , you also know what I want most at this time."

Tuoba Tao stood up, walked in front of Qin Zhongzhi, and looked down at Qin Zhongzhi, "As long as you can persuade Tan Yaoyu to become my queen willingly, I can designate Qiuchi as your fief. And Tong Wan The city is her dowry."

——Boundary——

After Tan Yaoyu followed He Lianchang into the underground palace, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

A crescent moon is painted on the ground in the center of the altar, and the surrounding walls are fixed with bluestone slabs just like the entrance of the underground palace.There is nothing special about the rest.

Since there was no clue, Yao Yu had no choice but to follow the original plan and ask people to lead the hounds to search in the altar.

The room of the whole altar is very narrow, and several hounds can hardly smell enough.

Finding that two hounds were sniffing the same corner repeatedly, as if they were not sure, Yao Yu felt confident.

She walked over slowly.As soon as she moved, she attracted everyone's attention, but before Yao Yu walked over to take a closer look, she heard a loud shout behind her.

"What are you doing?!"
