Tan Kongming supported the three emperors and had been silent for several years. After abandoning the shackles in his heart, he showed his unparalleled influence in defending the country like a tiger.

After forcing the little emperor to retreat to the palace and stop getting involved in political affairs, he only took one day to clean up most of the royal ministers who were in corpses in the court. Then he spent another day forcing all the opposition voices in the court to formally supervise the country.

After doing this series of things, the first thing Tan Kongming did was to recall 300,000 of the most elite Tiger Ben Army, the Hu Ben Army, from the Western Frontier. Not only that, he also recalled all the 300,000 Jing'an Army stationed in Lu.

These two armies, the former Hu Ben Army, was the largest guard of the Wei Kingdom in the Western Front. In addition to guarding the Great Zhou Dynasty, they also meant to guarding the Zheng Kingdom, which was the most solid line of defense for the Wei Kingdom.

The latter Jing'an Army was a force stationed in the territory of Lu after Lu was defeated. With this Jing'an Army there, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Lu was a vassal of the Wei State.

In addition to these two armies, the Zuo Prime Minister also gathered more than 100,000 people from other places. Such a huge war shows that the left relative to the barbarians attach importance to it.

However, many ministers in the court expressed confusion about the Left Prime Minister's approach, and many ministers even felt that the Left Prime Minister wanted to take the opportunity to force the palace to use these troops to seize the power of the little emperor and completely drive the little emperor off the throne.

But this statement has not been circulated for long before it has been self-defeating.

Because of Wulianghe, he used his strength to prove to the Wei Kingdom how strong the barbarians were, and how determined the barbarians made this time to seize him to defend the country.

...

After learning that Wutugen had captured Jingping Pass, Wulianghe was simply ecstatic. Not only did he reward the greatest hero of the battle, Wutugen and the wolf guards, but even the rebellious soldiers of the Guards were given a lot of rewards by him.

But what is surprising is that after taking Jingping Pass, he did not move at all. Not only did he not go out to conquer the city, but he even suppressed the idea of ​​barbarian soldiers coming out to rob. He stayed quietly in Jingping Pass, as if the barbarians were satisfied with the capture of Jingping Pass.

It is precisely because of this reason that the ministers in the court felt that the left prime minister was making a big deal. When summoning so many troops, they probably had strange intentions.

Because the barbarians did not leave Jingping Pass, in their opinion, this was a manifestation of insufficient strength. It was more than enough to mobilize 300,000 Tiger Ben Army and there was no need for so many troops at all.

However, three months later, Urahiro, who had been raising his energy for a long time, suddenly revealed his fangs, completely shattering the fantasies of the ministers.

In mid-July, Wuliang gathered 130,000 elite barbarians and quietly left Jingping Pass, but disappeared. Just after the Minister of the Defense State received the news, he was shocked to understand that Wuliang was intent, and the 300,000 Jing'an Army withdrew from Lu State was ambushed.

The 300,000 army was gone in one battle. After defeating the Jing'an army, Wulianghe began to fight against the Hu Ben Army again. With the number of people not prevailing, the Hu Ben Army was defeated step by step on the front battlefield.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the government and the people of the Wei Kingdom. The ministers who originally looked down on the barbarians were also afraid, and they also raised their vigilance against the barbarians to the highest level.

In the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Tan Kongming, who was originally a little strong, became skinny, but compared with the previous few months, he seemed even older. In just a few months, it seemed that more than ten years had passed for him.

Tan Kongming's weak right hand trembled and placed the memorial on the table. In the past few months, it has consumed a lot of his heart, and the old man who had already stepped into the coffin with half his foot had already shown signs of exhaustion.

But he forced himself to not fall down and continued to deal with matters of Weiguo.

"Yinguo Army, Wei Sheng."

When Tan Kongming said this name, his tone was filled with sadness and hatred.

After seeing the letters from Tong Wenshan, Tan Kongming discovered that the barbarians must have a great goal this time, so he opposed the opposition and forced the Hu Ben Army and Jing'an Army to return.

Then, after judging from the information over the past three months, Tan Kongming analyzed that the barbarian wolf lord Urianhe was a very difficult opponent, so he was wary of Urianhe's surprise attack very early and focused on the two large armies being recalled.

He analyzed in detail the actions that Urye might have taken, and then sent secret letters to the commanders of the two armies, among which the commander of the Jing'an Army was Wei Sheng.

In the secret letter, Tan Kongming talked about the strength of the barbarians in detail, and talked about several terrain that the barbarians might be ambushed, and also explained how Wei Sheng should deal with it if he really encountered an ambush. He would only teach Wei Sheng how to fight.

As a result, Wei Sheng may have been showing off his power in Lu State for a long time. With the 300,000 army in his hand, he did not take the barbarians to heart. Moreover, as his identity as a royal relative, he did not take Tan Kongming's guidance to heart.

When he learned that the barbarians might attack him, he not only had no place, but instead deliberately used his Jing'an army as bait and had the idea of ​​counter-ambushing.

As a result, due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, and the barbarians set up an ambush and took the initiative to attack. Unpreparedly, the 300,000 army was defeated and the chief general Wei Sheng was killed on the spot.

The entire 300,000 army was ruined by his arrogance. After seeing this detailed battle report, Tan Kongming wished he could drag Wei Sheng, who had already died in battle, out of the underworld and then kill him.

"A general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies..."

"Cough...cough...cough..."

As he said that, Tan Kongming began to cough violently. After a while, he barely calmed down. But at this time, the hand that he had just covered his mouth with his hand was already coughing up blood.

But he seemed to have been used to it, so he threw the handkerchief into the spittoon. In the spittoon, there were more than a dozen blood-stained handkerchiefs like this.

"Sir, please take a rest first."

Looking at Tan Kongming, who was extremely thin, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes. Since Tong Wenshan's death, Tan Kongming has had the problem of hemoptysis. In the past three months, because Tan Kongming only slept for more than one hour a day, this problem has become more and more serious.

"It's okay, I can hold on for a while."

Tan Kongming was naturally very clear about his body, but he didn't care at all. After taking a sip of the medicine soup prepared by the imperial doctor, he reluctantly raised some energy, and then said, "The consequences of Jing'an Army are too serious."

"Only 300,000 Hu Ben and more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops are left. It is not easy to recapture Jingping Pass."

Speaking of this, Tan Kongming coughed a few more times, and his heart was filled with helplessness. He originally planned to gather an army of 800,000 to forcefully recapture Jingping Pass, and then use the advantage of the number of people to concentrate on annihilation of the barbarians and achieve his contributions in one battle.

However, Wei Sheng's move disrupted all his plans.

"This barbarian wolf lord is not simple."

Li Feng suppressed his concern for Tan Kongming and frowned and said, "If this person doesn't take action, he will be thunderous when he takes action. He will directly break the situation of killing. His vision is too vicious."

"normal."

Tan Kongming, who had already obtained some information from Urage, was not too surprised by this. He spoke: "After all, he is the hero who unified the barbarians, so naturally he cannot be a mediocre person."

"It's a pity that the younger generation of my country, I have no talent, otherwise, 300,000 people would be sure to trap the barbarians in Jingping Pass."

Speaking of this, Tan Kongming couldn't help feeling a little sad. He wondered if the seventh generation of the powerful rulers of the State of Wei had exhausted all the luck of the State of Wei. Now, none of the civil officials and military generals of the State of Wei was outstanding. Otherwise, just 300,000 Tiger Army could block the barbarians behind Jingping Pass.

Then, with the strong national strength of the defending country, the barbarians can also be consumed to death.

"Forget it, I won't talk about this."

Tan Kongming sighed, and then said, "I have a plan to transfer 100,000 Hu Ben Army back to Beijing, and then send 100,000 Yulin Army out to deal with those barbarians."

The Yulin Army is the elite of the elite of the Wei Kingdom, with a total of 100,000 people, most of them are physical cultivation warriors. From this aspect, it is enough to see that the Wei Kingdom's strength is far superior to that of the Zheng Kingdom, and even the Great Zhou Dynasty is a little less than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, the king of the Wei Kingdom had a long-term intention and wanted to swallow the world, so the strength of the 100,000 Yulin Army had never been revealed to the outside world.

They originally thought that there was a tiger outside and a Yulin inside. As long as the war between the four countries changed slightly, they could seize the opportunity and annex the other three countries.

However, those generations of national lords never thought that in this generation, they actually had such a waste descendant.

"Yulin Army?"

Li Feng was shocked and felt something was wrong in his heart, "Sir, the Yulin Army is the biggest guarantee in the capital. If they are transferred, if there is anything unexpected..."

"Nothing in case."

Tan Kongming shook his head and said, "In terms of strength alone, the Yulin Army will not be worse than those barbarians. If they want to go to Jingping Pass, they will undoubtedly be able to exert their greatest strength."

"And in this battle of the Kingdom of Defense, no matter the outcome, the result of a serious injury to the vitality. Taking the initiative to expose the Yulin Army can also slightly shock the other three countries, so that they dare not have any other ideas."

"As for the accident you said..."

Tan Kongming said this with a bitter tone, "If you cannot block the barbarians outside Jingping Pass, you will let the barbarians break the Hu Ben Army and siege the capital."

"At that time, the country will be destroyed, and only the capital will remain. Is this Yulin Army still of what is the point?"

“…”

Hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a little silent. After a while, he spoke: "But the transfer of the Yulin Army requires His Majesty's personal permission. Without his order, it's not easy for you to mobilize this Yulin Army."

"I know."

Tan Kongming showed a bitter smile on his face, and then he said, "I will talk to His Majesty about this."

"I think your Majesty should not refuse at this time."

In the hearts of the current little emperor, he must have regarded him as a powerful minister who wants to usurp the rebellion. With the overall situation in mind, no matter what he asked the little emperor to do, the little emperor should not refuse.

But in this way, I will be punished more seriously as a powerful minister.

Li Feng also guessed what Tan Kongming was thinking at this time, so he couldn't help but bow and bow, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir..."

"nothing."

Tan Kongming stood up tremblingly and asked the housekeeper in the mansion to prepare sedan chairs. Before leaving, he felt a little sad. After doing such a thing, he didn't know if the little emperor would let go of his corpse and his family after a hundred years.

...

After some secret talks between Tan Kongming and the little emperor, the Yulin Army of the defending country left the capital and officially joined the battlefield.

As the power hidden by the State of Defense for many years, the Yulin Army severely injured the wolf guards as soon as they took action, and directly defeated the unscrupulous Wulianghe and returned to Jingping Pass.

Then, relying on the power of the Yulin Army, Tan Kongming made many plans in secret to recruit the Jingping Pass soldiers who surrendered to the barbarians, and then cooperated with the Yulin Army's offensive to regain Jingping Pass.

After this battle, the offense and defense of both sides began to detach. The Wei Kingdom relied on its strong national strength to mobilize the army continuously, and then spent half a year to compress the barbarian forces back to Longbei County bit by bit.

Wulianghe, who was full of energy, was beaten in a mess. From the great situation of occupying half of the Wei Kingdom, he suddenly fell back to the situation that had just entered the Wei Kingdom. He was even worse than that at that time, and was about to be eroded little by little by little by little by little by little.

At this time, an accident happened.

The left prime minister of Wei State, Tan Kongming, was finally completely exhausted and passed away after another half a year of hard work.

After his death, the little emperor who was regained power and had no one to restrain him suddenly became more and more powerful than before.

Not only did he expose Tan Kongming, who had just died, on the street, and no one was allowed to collect the body, but he also killed Tan Kongming's entire clan on the charge of treason.

Not only that, the officials who had previously surrendered to Kongming and even those who were close to Kongming were all liquidated by the little emperor.

Han Wenzhong planned to rebel, and his whole family was beheaded.

Li Feng, Minister of War, was dismissed from his post and returned home.

The commander of the Yulin Army was dismissed and imprisoned.

Commander of the Hu Ben Army, dereliction of duty, beheaded...

From the court to the army, everyone who had something to do with Tan Kongming was liquidated by the little emperor. The lightest ones were removed from their posts, and the worst ones were the whole family. For a moment, the court was panicked.

After his death, the little emperor who was regained power and had no one to restrain him suddenly became more and more powerful than before.

Not only did he expose Tan Kongming, who had just died, on the street, and no one was allowed to collect the body, but he also killed Tan Kongming's entire clan on the charge of treason.

Not only that, the officials who had previously surrendered to Kongming and even those who were close to Kongming were all liquidated by the little emperor.

Han Wenzhong planned to rebel, and his whole family was beheaded.

Li Feng, Minister of War, was dismissed from his post and returned home.

The commander of the Yulin Army was dismissed and imprisoned.

Commander of the Hu Ben Army, dereliction of duty, beheaded...
