Jiang indirectly investigated the situation in the court from Tan Daoji and Uncle Tian, ​​and then determined that Liu Yikang would definitely replace him with the current emperor.

From ancient times to the present, what contributions have been made the most by the ministers? Of course, it is the dragon’s merit! When others are still swaying, if Tan Chengbo stands firmly on the side of the Pengcheng King, he will be the confidant of the future emperor! It is just around the corner to be the prime minister of Sikong!

Jiang knew very well that Tan Daoji never stood in the court, because Tan Daoji knew best that although today's poor generals were afraid of by the emperor, they could only have a foothold if they unite the front with the emperor.

It is also because of this that no matter how many royal families or princes invited Tan Daoji to visit the mansion, he would refuse them on excuses. He never allowed his sons to have close contacts with these people.

Jiang was afraid that the matter would not be accomplished, so he was discovered by Tan Daoji and cut off Tan Chengbo's future, so he kept hiding it from everyone. So Tan Chengbo was not willing to go out these days. Jiang happened to go to see the reasons of the eldest princess and the princess Pengcheng to frequently go in and out of the two mansions.

After the seventh prince Liu Yiji left Jiankang, Liu Yilong no longer focused on investigating the poisoning case, but just put the charges on Liu Li's relatives and killed a group of people casually.

Just as Tan Yu speculated, Liu Yilong naturally knew that King Pengcheng could not be separated from him at this time. But he had no other choice now. Tan Daoji had too much power. If he did not support King Pengcheng, no one in the court could compete with him.

Liu Yilong was only angry that King Pengcheng was brainless and had no patience, and could not see through who was his biggest opponent. Although Tan Daoji was still standing, King Pengcheng actually used his bad intentions to move his seventh brother!

Anyone with eyes can see that the Seventh Prince will eventually benefit King Pengcheng. If Liu Yilong doesn't hold him behind his back, he will probably fall down if Tan Daoji breathes a breath.

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

According to Liu Yilong's vision, he planned to gradually weaken the military power of the Tan family through Pengcheng King Liu Yikang and Tao Yanzhi, and even undermine Tan Daoji.

The process of regaining military power was progressing very smoothly because Tan Daoji had no idea of ​​usurping the throne. But just as Tan Daoji had just received the imperial edict and officially handed over the military power of the Lake Army Camp, the war against Rouran by the Northern Wei Dynasty quickly came to an end.

The Northern Wei Dynasty won a great victory.

Tuoba Tao chased Tuoba Zhong's men all the way, but after he was finally escaped by Tuoba Zhong, he quickly gathered his troops and chose to attack Rouran directly without hesitation.

The Northern Wei army divided into two routes to Rouran, one route was Changsun Han, the King of Pingyang, and the other route was led by Tuoba Tao himself, and the other route was forced to Heishan from the east. The two routes were attacked in a pincer manner, and they did not intend to give Rouran any chance to escape.

When Tuoba Tao's army arrived in the south of the desert, he knew very well that it was not Rouran who fought with him, but time.

The reason why he chose to send troops directly and rush to attack overnight was that he didn't even want to waste his breathing time because he knew that once the Rouran people got the news, they would immediately turn into insects on the grassland and flee in scattered and there was no possibility of annihilation.

Therefore, he had to be fast, faster than the spy of Rouran. Only by reaching Rouran's hinterland before the spy could there be a chance of victory. For this reason, Tuoba Tao decisively took the risk of giving up all the supplies, brought only the food he had with him and rode lightly deep into the Huanglong.

At this time, Datan Khan was still resting at ease to count the supplies they had just stolen from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In Da Tan's view, the Northern Wei was in a troublesome situation at this time, and the power of Northern Liang was getting stronger and stronger. The remnants of Daxia led by Helian Ding were still wandering in the north, and they might counterattack and bite the Northern Wei at any time. At this time, the Northern Wei should put all their troops on defense, rather than traveling thousands of miles to the desert to find his bad luck.

Under this trend of taking it for granted confidence, Datan Khan did not even place any sentry in Sanli outside the base camp.

When Tuoba Tao's Light Cavalry Army arrived at the base camp of the Rouran people in Lishui, Da Tan was lying on the grass with two beauties in his arms and sleeping soundly.

The Rourans, who were completely unprepared for combat, were naturally defeated, and had no room for counterattack except to flee everywhere. They had no time to take anything away, leaving behind a mountain of cattle, sheep and prisoners of war to Tuoba Tao's army.

Facing the dispersed Rouran people, Tuoba Tao was not impatient this time. He had enough patience and divided his troops to search and chase Rouran people. He reached the Hanhai in the east, the Zhangye River in the west, and the Yanran Mountain in the north, and marched more than 5,000 miles from east to west, and more than 3,000 miles from north to south, and fought a huge and cruel "worm extermination" battle in the desert.

Da Tan was unable to escape as lucky as before. Tuoba Tao threw a long spear, entered Da Tan's vest, came out of his chest, and his divine power led the person away from the rushing horse and nailed him to the ground.

Da Tan was dead. Blood flowed over the grassland, with red like fire. But this time, the Rouran people had no chance to recover again. Tuoba Tao, as he and the old shaman of Rouran, burned the entire grassland with the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty like wildfire.

This Northern Expedition, the Northern Wei Dynasty was a complete victory. Nearly 300,000 Rouran's troops and one million war horses were captured. When the Rouran prisoners were killed or escorted to Wei, there was no longer laughter on the vast grassland, and there was no trace of sparks in the dark night.

When Tuoba Tao’s name is mentioned throughout the North, a new title will be added, the God of War.

When Tuoba Tao returned with his army in triumphant success, Tan Yaoyu and the others were still blocked by the snow on the road and could not leave the door. Tan Yaoyu looked at the news in his hand silently. She knew as much as many people that the world was going to be in chaos.

The battle in the south, after seven years of stuttering, was about to open its scarlet curtain again.

Tan Xiangyu summoned Mo Yao and said, "Send a message and transfer all of us nearby to me. Even if I shovel the snow all the way, I will rush to the Walker Tower immediately!"

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

Tan Yaoyu nodded, "The arrow is already on the string." Her fingers gently tapped the desk, "When I left, He Lu had been staying in the Walker Tower to learn the method of making tools with his master. Now he only hopes that he has achieved success in his studies. Otherwise, whether it is the Huyuan Army Camp or Qiuchi, he will inevitably be swept into this vortex."

As the two were talking, Xie Huilian rushed in panting, "Hurry! Seventh Prince! Again..."

Before Tan Yaoyu could finish his words, he rushed out in a strong wind.
Chapter completed!
