From a small family to a large dynasty, the ancestors always hoped to leave a rich, strong, and free legacy to future generations. However, any strong, rich, and stable society, without the existence of internal and external threats, will inevitably gradually decline.

Although there is no shortage of people of insight in such a court and such a family, although it is a well-known truth that "born in sorrow and died in peace". But who can always be vigilant and act in the comfort of being there without being there? How can the occasional person of insight awaken the many people who indulge in peace?

This is the case for the Cao family, in Shiqian, the Cao family is dominant, and naturally there is less sense of distress, if it weren't for Cao Ruixi's ambition and desire to further expand the territory, the Cao family would not even be able to maintain its current combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, the Tong family has the Banzhou Yang clan in the west, and Cao Ruixi in the east has bad intentions, and it has always been controlled by the Tian clan, which is determined to rise again, so it still maintains considerable combat effectiveness.

In fact, this kind of situation generally occurs in the Tusi family of the Eight King Kong level, they have no room for development upward, and they have always maintained their authority on the bottom, and they are under the least pressure, so the internal decay and depravity gradually corroded their power.

At this time, if a subordinate blatantly challenges them, they will be surprised to find that the once incomparably brilliant Eight King Kongs are now nothing more than that! They were left with only the majesty of a tiger, and lost the fangs and sharp teeth of a tiger.

On the contrary, the Four Heavenly Kings, because the imperial court has always wanted to weaken their power, and then implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, so that they feel pressure from time to time; Yang Yinglong, a careerist, came out of the inside, like a catfish mixed in the sardine school, which made them have to purge the government and reorganize the army and wait for the battle, so they can still maintain considerable strength.

Now, the Tong family has lost the control of the Banzhou Yang family, and it has shown its strength beyond the Cao family in one fell swoop. And even when Cao Ruixi was in charge, the strength of the Cao family was slightly inferior to that of the Tong family. What's more, the Cao family is currently in great trouble, and the internal struggle for power is already a mess.

Under the advantages of the other, the Cao family is not an opponent, and the Tong family sent troops to attack Fat Goose Ridge by surprise, so Tong Yun led his troops to capture Fat Goose Ridge, and it only took one day for this fat goose to completely fall into the hands of the Tong family.

Of course, just occupying a Fat Goose Ridge does not mean completely eliminating the Cao Clan's power, but the Fat Goose Ridge is a symbol of the Cao Clan's Tusi's domination of the local people. The fall of Fei'e Ling means the complete decline of the Cao family's power.

Since Cao Ruixi became the Tusi, he has taken advantage of the situation, framed the head, and even the forces belonging to the Cao family, as long as there is a chance, they will be annexed and swallowed, and the victims during his reign did not dare to be angry or speak in the face of his ruthless methods, and after his death, he was afraid of the power of the Cao family, and these victimized local officials and magnates still did not dare to show anything, but could only bury their hatred and anger deep in their hearts. Not anymore.

The fall of the Cao family. did not get the support and help of the local officials, magnates, and local people, but fell into the well and fell into the stone abounds, and the people who welcomed the invasion of the Tong family actually included a large number of big heads, small heads, and distant relatives under the Cao family. All this is doomed, and the Cao family will never be able to turn around. The complete fall of the Cao family is an indisputable fact.

Tong Yun knew very well that there would be such a result before he sent out his troops, and the Tong family had never ignored the strong enemy in the east, and had been paying close attention to it. Learn about their every move. A hundred years of sharpening the sword, once it broke out, won clean and neat.

So. Tong Yun didn't care about the remnants of the Cao clan who had escaped into the mountains, but set his sights on the Zhan family. Chasing into the mountains to fight will be heavy, the remnants of the Cao family can only survive, they are no longer able to make a comeback, they have lost the support and support of their subordinates and the people, they can't even survive a winter in the mountains, so why bother to attack, but Zhanjia......

According to the secret covenant between the Tong family and Ye Xiaotian, it is actually a covenant to sit on the ground and share the spoils: the Shiqian Yang family belongs to the Ye family in Woniuling, and the Cao family in Fei'e Ling belongs to the Tong family in Gong'e Ling.

After all, at that time, the two sides did not expect that there would be such a development at this moment, let alone that the leaders of the four major families of Zhan Cao and Zhang Yang would be stewed by Ye Xiaotian, under normal progress, it would be very difficult to eat the Cao family and the Shiqian Yang family respectively, and it would not be so easy to capture Zhanjia Fort.

But now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and there is an opportunity to directly take Zhanjiabao and seize this territory at the lowest cost, how can the Tong family give up this opportunity? Tong Yun was also afraid that his ally Ye Xiaotian would preemptively attack the Zhan family, so he couldn't wait so much. However, how could he figure out Ye Xiaotian's plan?

If sending troops is more beneficial to Woniuling, will Ye Xiaotian really give up such an opportunity because of Zhan Ning'er? He doesn't have to question Ning'er's affection, but he is also the leader of a party, representing an interest group, and he will not sacrifice the lives and blood of his subordinates in vain, just to please the woman he loves.

If the occupation of Zhanjiabao is more conducive to Woniuling, he will definitely send troops quickly with lightning speed, and in terms of mobility, between these lofty mountains and mountains, no Tusi's men and horses will be more agile than his jungle field troops.

As for marrying Ning'er and easing the relationship between Ning'er and the family, there are always other ways. But Ye Xiaotian only detained Zhanlong, and had no intention of getting involved in Zhanjiabao at all. He did not send troops, and held down the Liangyue Valley Guoji family and the Mercury Mountain Yu family, who coveted Zhanjia Fort, so that they could not act rashly.

Many years later, a "Zhanjia Castle" appeared on the European land, which also had another name, called Berlin. At that time, there were also two lines of soldiers and horses who wanted to capture this fortress, one was called the British army, and the other was called the Soviet army.

The British army also has a helper, called the American army, if the American army is willing to help, the British army is likely to seize Berlin before the Soviet army and take it for themselves. However, as an ally of the British army, the US military has its own plans:

The US military can occupy Berlin, but it can't digest Berlin and give it to the allies? After all, the ally is not himself, and how much influence he can have on the ally when the time comes depends entirely on the mood of the ally. But if it is handed over to its allies, the allies will continue to rely on it, and it can play a far greater role in Europe than if it handed over Berlin to its allies, so it has a choice: give it up!

The result? Winston Churchill, the commander-in-chief of the British army, commented: The Soviet Union conquered Berlin and only leaped a few hundred kilometers from eastern Poland to eastern Germany, while the United States thus crossed thousands of kilometers from the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean into Europe, thus dominating the whole world.

Of course, the situation Ye Xiaotian is facing cannot be simply analogized to this, but the effect is the same. This effect was already evident when Tong Yun had not yet swung his army eastward and killed Zhanjiabao.

Zhan's second sister-in-law returned in vain, and the Zhan family found that the only weapon they could use: Zhan Ning'er, was completely ineffective, and there was chaos when they landed. The core members of the exhibition family gathered together, gossiping, and chaotic.

Some people took the opportunity to suggest that the country should not be without a king for a day, and the family should not be without an owner for a day. At this time of crisis, Zhanlong Tusi has become Ye Xiaotian's prisoner again, and the Zhan family must immediately choose another head of the family to lead the family and face difficulties.

Some people also suggested that since the beauty plan did not work, it was better to follow the traditional solution of the war between the toasts, cede the land and pay compensation, and redeem the toasts. After dealing with the current difficulties for the time being, ten years of life and reunion, ten years of lessons, there will always be a day of revenge and blood hatred.

Of course, there is no shortage of hardliners, shouting "Rather for the broken jade than for the whole tile", and they want to pour the strength of the whole clan into a decisive battle with Woniuling.

"Fight to the death? Now that Woniuling is in full swing, what are we going to do with others to fight to the death? Although it is not the long house of the Zhan family, Zhan Bohao, who is very high-ranking and has a high rank, sneered and said: "Ye Xiaotian is clearly the nemesis of our Zhan family. Our Zhan family was originally good, if it wasn't for Boxiong's intention to blame Ye Xiaotian, he wouldn't have caused trouble. Now the Zhanjia is much worse than at the beginning, and you still have to fight to the death with Woniuling? Are you afraid that my Zhan family will not be defeated fast enough? ”

Zhan Ning'er came back with Zhan's second sister-in-law, and after explaining the results of this negotiation to the people of the family, Zhan Ning'er did not leave, and the people of the Zhan family were busy peddling their own ideas, and no one cared about her, so Zhan Ning'er heard this.

Zhan Ning'er stared at her, and immediately asked, "Uncle Jiu, what do you mean when you say that my uncle intended to blame Ye Xiaotian?" ”

If Zhan Bohao said "kill", Zhan Ning'er would only think that Zhan Bohao was talking about Zhan Boxiong's assassination in Huaxi, and would not have other associations. But Zhan Bohao said "blame", which clearly does not refer to the assassination of Huaxi.

Now that the Zhan family has reached such a state, Zhan Bohao has nothing to hide, so he snorted coldly: "Isn't it just that Boxiong sent someone to assassinate the eldest lady of the Tian family?" Our Zhan family and the Tian family have no grudges or hatreds, what are we going to do when we kill the eldest lady of the Tian family?

Just because Boxiong wanted to kill Ye Xiaotian to please Yang Tianwang of Banzhou, but he was unwilling to directly face Ye Xiaotian and attract the crazy revenge of Woniuling, he wanted to kill Miss Tian, blame Ye Xiaotian, and get rid of him by the hands of the Tian family.

It's a pity, the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, Miss Tian not only didn't die, but also happened to be rescued by Ye Xiaotian...... hey! Stealing chickens does not make rice, and it loses his wife and soldiers, but it has contributed to the cooperation between the Tian family and Woniuling, which is really self-inflicted, and he can't live! ”

Zhan Ning'er heard this, and the whole person stayed there. She has always had a knot in her heart, that is, Ye Xiaotian helped Tian Miaowen, blamed the unknown assassin on Zhanjiabao, and frequently challenged the Zhan family, and her uncle joined the Cao Zhang alliance angrily under this circumstance and secretly planned to assassinate Ye Xiaotian. Therefore, the cause of the incident still lies in Ye Xiaotian.

Ning'er has a deep affection for Ye Xiaotian, but she feels that she is not responsible for the family, although she is not so obvious on the surface, in fact, she has always been very entangled in her heart. She needed a reason to forgive herself, and when she heard this, she suddenly realized that the only knot in her heart was untied.
