Chapter 183 Perhaps it is an opportunity

Tuoba family front hall!

The head of the family, Tuobating, was sitting on the table with a gloomy expression, while the elders and deacons who hurried over were lined up on the left and right.

Compared to Tuobating, who looked gloomy, their faces were full of doubts, and they looked at each other with doubtful eyes from time to time.

They were found in a hurry and had no idea what was going on.

Just when many elders and deacons were extremely confused, Tuobating suppressed the anger and murderous intention in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"An emergency military situation has just been reported. Tiannan Pass was suddenly attacked by dozens of thunderbolts.

The 150,000 Tianwu Four Guards and the 100,000 Tianwu Three Guards outside the pass combined to lose 100,000, and suffered minor injuries and serious injuries of tens of thousands.

Our Zhanhu Army within the Pass suffered a loss of 20,000, the Tuoba Army suffered a loss of 50,000, and the reserve army and miscellaneous soldiers combined suffered a loss of 60,000 to 70,000. "

When Tuobating told the news with a cold expression, the elders and deacons on the left and right were all stunned.

Everyone was stunned and didn't react for a while.

After a long while, the elders sitting in their seats all stood up and exclaimed with disbelief on their faces:

"What!"

"This...how is this possible?"

"Master, is this news false? How could it cause so many casualties at once?"

They couldn't believe the news told by the family leader at all, and directly expressed their doubts.

After all, this news is really shocking.

How could dozens of sky-shattering thunders cause casualties of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses?

After all, they were too familiar with Hong Tianlei.

If Hong Tianlei is really so powerful, then why does the Tuoba family work so hard to train so many soldiers?

Just create countless thunderbolts.

Facing the doubts of the elders and deacons, Tuobating did not explain, but allowed them to discuss.

After the discussion gradually subsided, he spoke in a cold and deep voice:

"One more thing...the Fourth Elders and the others have not sent back any news for three consecutive days, and there has been no movement from the spies and secret sentries in Beimang Mountain."

The elders and deacons who had just calmed down were in an uproar again when they heard the news, and they couldn't calm down anymore.

Because they all have a very bad premonition in their hearts.

"Master, could it be that the four elders have already arrived at the Northern Territory of Daqian to launch an attack, and there is no time to send a message, so..."

Second Elder Tuoba Lu's voice gradually disappeared in the middle of his words, and he lowered his head and fell silent.

Because he might not even believe what he said.

After all, this invasion is related to the interests of their Tuoba family, and also involves a series of their subsequent plans.

After the invasion plan began, the four elders would summon the details every day.

But now there is no movement for three consecutive days, which can already explain the problem.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the front hall became extremely depressed and silent, and everyone's faces were extremely ugly and gloomy.

Because they all had the worst possible outcome in mind.

Looking at the many elders and deacons with gloomy and ugly faces, Tuobating clenched his fists and said coldly:

"If this invasion plan fails and our Tuoba family suffers such huge losses, tell us what to do next."

Although he didn't want to admit it, he already had a guess in his mind.

As the head of the family, he could only suppress the anger and murderous intention in his heart and make a quick decision to deal with the aftermath.

Because he knew very well what the predicted result meant to their Tuoba family.

Once this news reaches the imperial capital, the old guy in the palace will never let go of such an opportunity.

So they must prepare various countermeasures in advance.

Facing Tuobating's inquiry, many elders and deacons could only suppress the fear and panic in their hearts and began to put forward their own suggestions.

While Tuobating was discussing with a group of elders and deacons, they were inside a main hall of the Tianwu Palace.

Emperor Tianwu Wu Zhenxiong also secretly summoned a group of confidants to gather here.

In addition to a group of confidants, the crown prince Wu Yuze and the third prince Wu Yukun were also among them.

After everyone checked the information slips Wu Zhenxiong took out one by one, looks of shock and disbelief appeared on their faces.

Because the information recorded in the jade slips is exactly the emergency military situation that occurred at Tiannan Pass.

In addition to the urgent military situation at Tiannan Pass, there was also news that the entire invading army had been annihilated.

The Tuoba family had not yet received the news that the invading army had been wiped out, but Wu Zhenxiong already knew it.

While everyone was shocked by the news inside the jade slip, Wu Zhenxiong, who was sitting in the main seat, looked extremely calm.

Although he is already an old man with white beard and hair, the aura and pressure faintly exuding from his body is extremely powerful.

He has been in the position of Emperor Tianwu for more than 150 years and has experienced too many things.

Although the military situation inside the jade slip was shocked, he had already calmed down.

"Tell me what to do next!"

As Wu Zhenxiong finished speaking, Prince Wu Yuze said with bright eyes:

"Father, for us... this may be an excellent opportunity!"

"Oh!" Wu Zhenxiong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Tell me in detail!"

Wu Yuze nodded when he heard this and said: "This invasion was proposed by the Tuoba family. Now that the invading army has been wiped out, the Tuoba family must take full responsibility."

"In addition, Tiannan Pass was also attacked and the losses were so heavy. The Tuoba family is also responsible for this."

After saying these two sentences, Wu Yuze stood up with a cold look and said: "Tiannan Pass is the southern gate of our Tianwu Dynasty. Its importance is beyond doubt."

"How can such a critical position be controlled by the Tuoba family? It must be taken over by the Tianwu Guard."

When Wu Yuze said this, everyone immediately understood what he meant.

This is obviously to take this opportunity to attack the Tuoba family and seize the control of Tiannan Pass.

As long as the control of Tiannan Pass is in hand, the next step can be to plot the entire southern border.

This plan is very good, but Wu Yuze never mentioned the more than 200,000 soldiers who died in the battle.

Such a heart is not cruel.

When Wu Zhenxiong heard the prince's suggestion, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Although his prince's heart is extremely cruel, as a superior, he needs such a cruel heart.

If Wu Yuze was indecisive and soft-hearted, how could he make him the prince?

The third prince Wu Yukun saw the undisguised admiration in his father's eyes, and his heart suddenly surged with jealousy and anger.

However, he did not show any abnormality on the surface, but smiled and said:

"The plan mentioned by the prince is fine, but the Tuoba family is not a good family.

Since we have received the news of the conspiracy here, I think the Tuoba family is doing the same thing.

According to the methods of the old guy Tuoba Ting, he will definitely respond immediately, so..."

Just as Tuoba Ting and Wu Zhenxiong were discussing their own affairs, the things that happened in Tiannan Pass were also reported to the commander Jing Yi by the shadow guards...
