Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 253 Tuoba Tao

Tuoba Sibing was defeated and died!
Xi Jin was trapped in Huai County!
The Song army swept Hebei!

The pot is broken!

An Tong, the guard of Jinyang, surrendered!

All these pressured the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty... no, Tuoba Tao, who is now the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was overwhelmed.

In the past few months, Tuoba Tao in Pingcheng has experienced great joy and sorrow several times.

When Tuoba Si left Pingcheng Yujia's personal expedition with a decisive attitude, Tuoba Tao was already planning to grit his teeth and carry all this.

Later, Tuoba Si's letter, which was suspected to be fatal, was brought to Pingcheng by Qiudui, and Tuoba Tao had already decided to lead the army to move to the east to the royal court.

Then Liu Yu died suddenly...

This great gift from heaven to the Northern Wei Dynasty made Tuoba Tao heave a sigh of relief.

He believed that his father could defeat the Song army and bring the Northern Wei Dynasty to an unprecedented peak!

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

Just when Tuoba Tao began to look forward to the future of the Northern Wei Dynasty, bad news came one after another.

In almost a moment, Tuoba Tao discovered that most of the country's land had been lost. The Northern Wei Dynasty changed from a powerful country that divided the world into north and south with Liu Song in an instant, and became a bereaved dog that could only curl up in the north.

As Tuoba Si's body was sent back to Pingcheng by the Song Army, Tuoba Tao also knew who the enemy was.

Liu Yizhen...

The last time he heard this name was when he defeated Helian Bobo in Guanzhong.

In order to be angry and to prove, Tuoba Tao personally led troops to the grassland to attack Rouran after that.

At that time, he just thought that Liu Yizhen was just a person worthy of attention, not even an opponent.

After all, Liu Yu was still a minister of Jin at that time, not Emperor Song.

But now, a person whom he never paid attention to before led troops to reverse the situation and put Tuoba Tao in an embarrassing situation, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Good thing...

Tuoba Tao still accepted the inheritance left to him by his father Tuoba Si.

Because Tuoba Si killed a large number of Xianbei nobles intentionally or unintentionally in Shangdang County, their pastures and clansmen were all incorporated by Tuoba Tao in the rear.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was weakened, but the power of Tuoba Xianbei skyrocketed.

It was precisely because of this that Tuoba Tao still had a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, there are two people in front of Tuoba Tao.

One is Cui Hao, and the other is Changsun Song.

One of the two is from a Han family, the other is from a Xianbei aristocrat, and they are the spokespersons of the two major interest groups in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

They have long been deeply entangled with the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so they have become grasshoppers on the same rope at this time, regardless of each other.

Moreover, Cui Hao and Changsun Song are also checking each other.The imperial power, the high-ranking officials of Xianbei, and the Han family are quite delicate at this time.

"Father."

Tuoba Tao has already recognized Cui Hao as his father and worshiped him as the prime minister as explained in Tuoba Si's letter. At this time, Cui Hao is just under one person and above ten thousand people.

"Now that my Great Wei is living and dying, is there any way to continue the state?"

It's not like Tuoba Tao didn't think about it.

But when I think of the morale that has reached the bottom of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then think of Liu Song who is making great strides.Tuoba Tao doesn't think it's a good idea to continue fighting Liu Song now.

It's just that he is the emperor after all, and there are some things he can't say.

As the elder of the Xianbei clan, Changsun Song couldn't say these words from his mouth.

Right now, it seems that only Cui Hao is suitable to take the blame.

Cui Hao's expression remained the same.

As the prime minister of a country, since he has enjoyed endless glory, he naturally has to shoulder corresponding responsibilities.

What's more...

Every time you take the blame, it is actually a game between the power of the phase and the power of the monarch.

No matter how loyal Cui Hao was to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he would not take the blame for Tuobasi for no reason, because what stood behind him was not the emperor, but the interests of the Han family.

"Your Majesty, the only thing left now is peace talks."

Cui Hao obediently helped to tear off this layer of fig leaf, which also made Tuoba Tao and Changsun Song heave a sigh of relief.

Since Cui Hao is willing to stand up, no matter how much the royal family and Xianbei have to pay, it is acceptable.

"but……"

Cui Hao also had to put forward his own conditions and confide the interests of his Han family.

Otherwise, Cui Hao would be abandoned by the Han family at any time.

"This time Liu Song has gained the upper hand. If we want to negotiate peace with them, we must use both soft and hard tactics."

Tuoba Tao agrees with this point.

There is still an essential difference between peace talks and surrender.

"Therefore, I propose that Your Majesty issue an edict that all the people of our Great Wei will fight, and those who have made military achievements can be awarded military positions and land."

Cui Hao's words changed the expressions of Tuoba Tao and Changsun Song.

This is not to force Liu Song.

It is clear that the Han family is forcing the palace!

The Han family had land, money, and power in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But no soldiers!

It is conceivable that with this edict, how many Han families will put their private soldiers on the surface and become local warlords with separate regimes, and then wield greater power in the Northern Wei court.

As for the so-called military achievements...

Just use the heads of a few refugees to fill your merits. This is not too simple for the aristocratic family.

"Do you want to give military power to the Han family?"

Tuoba Tao and Changsun Song were in a dilemma at this time.

They knew that this was the condition proposed by the Han family.

It's just that this condition is a bit harsh.

What is the basis for the Hu people to rule the north?
culture?economy?wisdom?

Those are all nonsense, they are powerful troops.

Now that military power, the most private power, is shared, they all doubt whether it will shake the rule of the Xianbei clan.

"This move..."

Tuoba Tao closed his eyes.

"feasible!"

The current Northern Wei Dynasty must survive first, and then have time to think about other things.

Tuoba Tao still has courage, otherwise he would not achieve the achievement of unifying the north in the future.

Seeing that Tuobatao agreed, Cui Hao knew that it was easy to do.

Now that the internal political exchanges have been completed, it is time to consider how to unify them externally.

"Now His Majesty not only wants to rectify the soldiers and horses, but also make a posture of burning all jade and stone."

"It is even more necessary to ask for foreign aid."

foreign aid?

Tuoba Tao didn't understand Cui Hao's words.

"Rou Ran!"

Cui Hao made it clear directly.

Now Tuoba Tao's complexion is even more ugly.

For the Han family, he can retreat.After all, as long as the Northern Wei Dynasty survives, no matter how big the appetite of the Han family is, the meat will rot into their own pots.

Ke Rouran...

To this group of creeps wandering in the grassland, Tuoba Tao really couldn't lower his head.

What's more, even if he can bow his head, Rouran, who has a feud with the Northern Wei Dynasty, will agree to cooperate with the Northern Wei Dynasty?
If he put a hot face on a cold butt, Tuoba Tao would definitely be so disgusted that he couldn't eat.

Cui Hao shook his head: "In order to deal with Liu Yu, the late emperor did not hesitate to send a letter to Hu Xia Helianbo, inviting him to attack Liu Yu together. Helianbobo can also figure it out and send troops to attack Guanzhong."

"It's the same for Rouran. If my Great Wei dies, they will definitely be next! Even if Khan Da Tan doesn't understand this truth, Helian Bobo will notify him."

"As long as you pay a small amount of cattle and sheep pastures, you can get a powerful ally. Why would your majesty refuse?"

Tuoba Tao's face became more and more ugly, constantly changing between distorted and more distorted.
