Chapter 550 The Curtain of the Great War

Jiang made indirect remarks and inquired about the situation in the court from Tan Daoji and Uncle Tian, ​​and decided that Liu Yikang would definitely replace the current emperor.

From ancient times to the present, what is the greatest contribution of courtiers?Naturally, it is from the power of the dragon!When others are still vacillating, if Tan Chengbo stands unswervingly on King Pengcheng's side, he will be the confidant of the future emperor!Sikong Zaifu is just around the corner!

The Jiang family knew very well that Tan Daoji never took sides in the court, because Tan Daoji knew best that although today's humble generals are feared by the emperor, they can only gain a foothold if they unite with the emperor.

It was also because of this that no matter how many clans or princes invited Tan Daoji to his residence as a guest, he would always reject them with excuses.He never allowed his sons to have close contacts with these people.

Jiang was afraid that Tan Daoji would find out if the matter was not completed, cutting off Tan Chengbo's way forward, so he kept hiding it from everyone.Tan Chengbo simply didn't want to go out these few days, and Jiang just used the excuse of seeing the eldest princess and Princess Pengcheng to go in and out of the two mansions frequently.

As for Liu Yilong, after the Seventh Prince Liu Yiji left Jiankang, he no longer focused on investigating the poisoning case, but hastily charged the crimes on Liu Li's relatives, and just killed a group of people casually.

Just as Tan Yaoyu speculated, Liu Yilong naturally knew that King Pengcheng was inseparable from this time.But he has no other choice now, Tan Daoji has too much power, if he does not support King Pengcheng now, no one in the court can contend with him.

Liu Yilong was only angry that King Pengcheng was brainless and impatient, and he couldn't see who was his biggest opponent.Obviously Tan Daoji was still standing, but King Pengcheng actually used a crooked mind to move the seventh brother!
Anyone with eyes can see that when the Seventh Prince had an accident, it was King Pengcheng who ultimately benefited.If Liu Yilong hadn't supported him from behind for such an idiot who could show his horse's feet so clearly, he would have collapsed if Tan Daoji blew his breath.

After that, Liu Yilong summoned King Pengcheng to the palace several times. One was to let outsiders, especially the Tan family, see that he still valued and trusted King Pengcheng very much.Secondly, he "taught" King Pengcheng well this time, so that Liu Yikang could clearly understand who his enemy in the court was.

According to Liu Yilong's vision, he intends to gradually weaken the Tan family's military power through Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, and Dao Yanzhi, and even take Tan Daoji away.

The process of regaining military power had gone smoothly, because Tan Daoji had no intention of usurping the throne.But just as Tan Daoji had just received the imperial decree and formally handed over the military power of the Lake Army Battalion, the war against Rouran in the Northern Wei Dynasty came to an end quickly.

Great victory in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Tuoba Tao pursued Tuoba Zhong's men all the way, but was finally escaped by Tuoba Zhong.He quickly assembled his troops and chose to attack Rouran directly without hesitation.

The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty went northward to Rouran in two routes. One route was led by Pingyang Wang Changsun Han from the west to Da'e Mountain, and the other route was led by Tuoba Tao himself, and the host route forced Montenegro. No chance for Rouran to escape.

When Tuoba Tao's army arrived in Monan, he knew very well that it was not Rouran who was fighting him, but time.

The reason why he chose to send troops directly, ran all night, and didn't even want to waste the time to catch his breath, was precisely because he knew that once the Rouran people got the news, they would immediately turn into bugs on the grassland and flee in all directions, without any chance of annihilating them. possible.

So he must be fast, even faster than Rouran's spies.Only by reaching the hinterland of Rouran one step ahead of the spies, can there be a chance of victory.For this reason, Tuoba Tao resolutely took the risk to give up all the luggage, and only took the rations with him, so he rode lightly and went straight to Huanglong.

At this time, Da Tan Khan was still counting the supplies they had just looted from the Northern Wei Dynasty with peace of mind.

In Da Tan's view, the Northern Wei Dynasty was in troubled times at this time, the Northern Liang's power was growing, and the remnants of the Great Xia led by He Lianding were still wandering in the north, and might counterattack at any time to bite the Northern Wei Dynasty.At this time, the Northern Wei Dynasty should put all its forces on defense, instead of traveling thousands of miles to the desert to find his bad luck.

Under this trend of taking self-confidence for granted, Da Tan Khan didn't even place any guard posts three miles outside the base camp.

When Tuoba Tao's light cavalry arrived at Rouran's base camp in Lishui, Da Tan was lying on the grass sleeping soundly with two beauties in his arms.

The Rouran people, who were completely unprepared for combat, were defeated as a matter of course, and there was no room for counterattack except to flee around.They didn't have time to take anything away, leaving a mountain of cattle, sheep and prisoners of war for Tuoba Tao's army.

Facing the collapsed Rouran people, Tuoba Tao was not impatient this time.With enough patience, he divided his troops to search and chase the Rouran people.From the vast sea in the east, Zhangye water in the west, and Yanran Mountain in the north, they marched for more than [-] miles from east to west, and more than [-] miles from north to south, and fought a huge and cruel "insect extermination" war in the desert.

In the end, Da Tan was not as lucky as before to escape.Tuoba Tao threw a long spear, entered from Da Tan's vest, and exited from his chest. His divine power took him away from the galloping horse and nailed him to the ground.

Da Tan died.Blood flowed all over the grassland.Red like fire.But this time, Rouran has no chance to recover again.Tuoba Tao, just as he said with the old shaman Rouran, brought the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty like wildfire and burned the entire grassland.

In this Northern Expedition, the Northern Wei Dynasty can be said to have won a complete victory.Captured nearly [-] Rouran troops and a million horses.After the Rouran prisoners of war were killed or escorted to Wei, the vast grasslands no longer heard people laughing, and there was no spark in the dark night.

When Tuoba Tao's name was mentioned in the whole Northland, a new title, God of War, would be added.

When Tuoba Tao returned triumphantly with the army, Tan Yaoyu and the others were still blocked by the snow on the road and couldn't get out.Tan Yaoyu silently looked at the message in her hand, she knew as well as many people that the world was going to be chaotic.

The Southern Controversy, after seven years of hiatus, is about to pull back its scarlet curtain again.

Tan invited Yu to recruit Mo Yao and said: "Send a message and call all our people nearby. Even if we shovel the snow all the way there, I will rush to Xingzhe Tower immediately!"

Mo Yao asked with some concern: "Girl, is it going to war?"

Tan Yaoyu nodded, "The arrow is on the string." She tapped her finger on the desk lightly, "When I left, He Lu stayed in Xingzhe Building to learn the method of making utensils with Master, and now I only hope that he has learned something. Otherwise, whether it is the Hu Army Battalion or Qiu Chi, I am afraid that they will inevitably be drawn into this vortex."

While the two were talking, Xie Huilian rushed in panting, "Quick! Seventh Prince! And...!"

Before Tan Yaoyu could finish his words, he rushed out wrapped in a gust of wind.
