Chapter 2116: Defeat Yanshan and behead Tuoba Gui (middle)
The mountain lion camel was deliberately looking for trouble, or the imperial party led by Shan Shituo was extremely dissatisfied with Tuoba Tao and the Tuoba family.
The last four strong villages on Yanshan Road are related to the lifeline of the 200,000 Qing troops, but what is the result? All three were thrown away by the Tuoba family.
Tuoba Shi was fine. Although he lost the first battalion, he also died in battle and apologized.
But what about this kid Tuoba Tao? Both of the four camps were lost in his hands. He was so incompetent but still had the face to give guidance to the country, which was simply shameless.
The mountain lion camel is straightforward and can''t stand it and just say it directly, which just hits Tuoba Tao''s pain point.
Seeing that the two sides were getting angry, and even a vague trend was about to fight, Tuoba Gui on one side finally spoke.
"Enough, shut up."
Tuoba Gui''s angrily shout made both sides, who were originally tense, silenced.
Tuoba Gui was the chief general after all, and he also made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. No matter how useless the Tuoba family''s children were, his contribution to the Qing Dynasty was unquestionable, so even a mountain lion camel dared not publicly contradict Tuoba Gui.
After the meeting, Tuoba Gui left Tuoba Tao alone.
Looking at Tuoba Gui with a blank expression, Tuoba Tao said with shame: "Grandpa, grandson has disappointed you."
Tuoba Gui originally wanted to scold Tuoba Tao again, but when he saw the eldest grandson showing the expression of his younger daughter, he immediately gave up his plan to continue beating his grandson. After all, he had scolded him before. Simply scolding him may damage his confidence and make him completely depressed.
"Oh, you can''t blame you for your defeat this time. Even if I command it myself, I may not be able to do better than you."
Tuoba Gui touched Tuoba Tao''s head and comforted his grandson with a kind look on his face, which made Tuoba Tao cry completely. He hugged his grandfather and burst into tears. This was the first time Tuoba Tao showed such a weak attitude.
Not long ago, he was a hero launched by the Qing Emperor, but he became a rat crossing the street because of a defeat. Those who once praised him are now despising him. The quick change of face made Tuoba Tao stunned.
But what can he do? Facing Wei Qing, he had performed extraordinaryly, but he was still pressed to the ground and blasted the hammer. It was not his wish for defeat.
Tuoba Tao is the most typical genius of aristocratic families. He was well protected by his family and grandfather and had never experienced any setbacks or blows. Therefore, he was a little arrogant and even regarded the heroes of the world as nothing. As a result, he was proud of his achievements, and then he was beaten to the point of being seriously skeptical of his life.
After crying for a while, Tuoba Tao vented most of the grievances in his heart, and then he recovered. He blushed and wiped away the tears from his face, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
What did he do? He actually cried like this in front of his grandfather.
After secretly looking at grandpa''s face, Tuoba Tao felt relieved after seeing that there was nothing unusual.
After releasing his grandson for a while, Tuoba Gui asked, "Taoer, do you think Grandpa can defend this last battalion before His Highness the Crown Prince captures Lu Long?"
Tuoba Tao showed a hint of disgrace on his face, but Tuoba Gui smiled and said, "It''s good to say it honestly. Grandpa is so old, are you still afraid of death?"
"Grandpa, it''s not that my grandson has the ambition to destroy his own might. His Majesty initially gave his grandfather a deadline to defend Yanshan for one month, but now he has changed his guard until His Highness the Crown Prince captures Lu Long. What does this mean? "
Tuoba Tao showed a solemn look on his face: "This means that Your Majesty is not sure, so, even if you can defend Yanshan for a month, and the prince cannot conquer Lu Long at that time, what''s the point of fighting to the death in Yanshan?
Besides, my grandson doesn’t think our army can stay for a month. ”
Hearing this, Tuoba Gui suddenly showed a serious look and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Grandpa..." In the next hour, Tuoba Tao explained his point of view to his grandfather from the aspects of equipment, morale, generals, and overall situation, that is, Yanshan defense line is a mess, and whoever comes will die.
"Why didn''t Your Majesty come to guard Yanshan in person? Our army has clearly reached the state of life and death, and your Majesty''s visit to Yanshan in person has inspired the army even more, but he just sent the prince to cheer up the morale of the army? Why is this?
Because His Majesty knew the power of the Qin army, he personally guarded Yanshan, and there was no big difference between you, Grandpa, and you guarded Yanshan.
Grandpa, if you can''t hold on, he will definitely not be able to hold on. That''s why you hand over this doomed failure to you. ”
After saying that, Tuoba Tao looked at his grandfather carefully. Although his words were his heartfelt words, they did have a great rebellion and a disobedience.
If this were in the past, Tuoba Gui would definitely be furious and even beat his eldest grandson up to let him know what he could say and what he could not say. However, this time his reaction was not so intense, but instead showed a meditative look.
Seeing this, Tuoba Tao felt relieved. Grandpa was not as stupid and loyal as he showed.
I have to say that Tuoba Tao is really a genius. Tuoba Gui also thought about what he analyzed, but he just couldn''t figure it out. After the grandson''s suggestions, Tuoba Gui felt suddenly enlightened.
After pondering for a long time, Tuoba Gui raised his head, looked at his grandson, and said seriously: "Taoer, can''t the Fourth Battalion really be defended?"
"It''s very difficult." Tuoba Tao said with a wry smile.
"well."
Tuoba Gui sighed and said, "Forget it, since Your Majesty is planning to me for being unrighteous, don''t blame me for being unfaithful."
Originally, Tuoba Gui didn''t want to get to this point, but now for the sake of his family and his grandson, he has to cooperate with Aguda.
Tuoba Tao showed an unbelievable look: "Grandpa, are you going to join Qin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Gui slapped him directly and said angrily: "Bastard, what are you talking about? Is this kind of person in your heart?"
Anyone from the Tuoba family can surrender to Qin, but Tuoba Gui cannot surrender to Qin. He is the head of the family. If he surrenders to Qin, the Tuoba family will be immediately exterminated by the Qing Dynasty.
Tuoba Tao rubbed his swollen handsome face and said aggrievedly: "But this is what you said yourself."
"snort."
Tuoba Gui snorted coldly and explained: "Grandpa is not trying to surrender to Qin, but to arrange a way out for our Tuoba family. A major event will happen next. The situation in the Qing Dynasty will be very chaotic. If our Tuoba family does not prepare early, it may be a disaster for the family to be destroyed.
Tao''er, grandpa wrote a suicide note and ordered you to be the patriarch of my Tuoba family. In the future, the Tuoba family will be handed over to you.
Remember, no matter who is forced by you in any situation, the military power of my Tuoba family must not be handed over. ”
Looking at his grandfather''s appearance as if he was explaining his funeral, Tuoba Tao looked question-marked, what''s going on with this?
Tuoba Tao knew that he must have something to hide from him, so he asked what he had hidden from him, but no matter how Tuoba Tao asked Tuoba Gui, he just said, "You will know then."
The next day, Tuoba Gui dismissed Tuoba Tao on the grounds of defeat, and after he beat the 50th slam, he sent him back to the rear to be a groom.
This punishment shocked the senior leaders of the Qing army, and they all admired Tuoba Gui''s selfless face, but they didn''t know that this was just a way for Tuoba Gui to protect his grandson.
