Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

"Pudu Cult is indeed very influential, and the power at the bottom is huge. It is difficult for ordinary people to deal with it. Even if they can deal with it, their vitality will be greatly damaged. But what if I have a solution?

Let’s talk about the second mountain! "

Guihachi was stunned. Meng Zhao's self-description was that if there was a way to solve the Pudu Sect, but he was used to seeing all kinds of people, he could tell that Meng Zhao probably had some confidence, but he didn't know which way to use it. That’s all.

He didn't dare to explore Meng Zhao's secrets. If it really involved this secret, it would definitely not be known to the people he had just hired under Meng Zhao's command. He had no choice but to hide his thoughts and continue,

"The second mountain is the largest force in Yanzhou's territory, General Tan Changming, who is in charge of 300,000 elite troops, or the Tan family's force that he represents."

"Dragon King needs to know that this General Tan Changming is originally from Yanzhou. He is the son of a county captain of a small county. He later learned martial arts from a foreigner. He has outstanding martial arts. He joined the army and fought for his current status with one sword and one spear. He is a legendary figure. .

Unlike other generals stationed on the border, General Tan Changming's 300,000-strong army was trained and promoted by him. Not to mention commanding, he is the undisputed number one person in the Yanzhou military. , even the Beitang royal family may not have the status and influence of General Tan in the Yanzhou military. "

When talking about Tan Changming, Meng Zhao noticed that Guiba's eyes were shining, and his tone was deep and passionate. He obviously regarded Tan Changming as an idol in life, and he had a certain idol plot.

As a member of the Guixun system, Meng Zhao knew much more than Guiha had imagined, so he interjected,

"You missed a few points. The wife of General Tan Changming is the daughter of the former governor of Yanzhou. Her family is deeply rooted in Yanzhou and has extraordinary influence. Even in the court, she is a force that cannot be ignored. If Otherwise, no matter how many achievements Tan Changming made, how could he return to Yanzhou and supervise Yanzhou's military affairs? "

Military merit is the most effective and quickest way for civilians to rise through the ranks. Since ancient times, there have been many people who have used military merit to increase their rank and rank, and even to become marquises and generals.

However, this is the bias of survivors. Throughout the dynasties, there are those who are truly famous for their military exploits, but not many. More people are killed on the battlefield, with their bodies wrapped in horse leather and blood stained battlefields. Thousands of people died. Even among a thousand people, not even one can reach Tan Changming's level of achievement.

Moreover, the acquisition of military merit is also different. Whether you can get it alone, share the profits with others, or be falsely claimed for military merit may lead to different results.

It is certain that Tan Changming's own abilities are extraordinary, and it is inevitable to achieve great military exploits, but more importantly, he has a background, a backer, and the help of his father-in-law, so he can turn his military exploits into his own power and status.

If it were another person with the same ability and the same merit, it would be considered lucky to get a general to do it.

Guiba looked a little embarrassed, not because Meng Zhao exposed Tan Changming's background, but because he felt ashamed that his own thoughts had been seen through.

But thinking about it carefully, what Meng Zhao said is not wrong at all. If Tan Changming didn't rely on women and his father-in-law, he wanted to go so smoothly, but because of his small family background and the fact that although he is powerful, he is not transcendent. The possibility of martial arts in this world is very small.

"The Dragon King is right. The Tan family is as powerful as it is today, and it is indeed inseparable from the help of his wife's family.

But it also shows that if you want to gain a foothold in Yanzhou, you must win the Tan family's support and help. If you don't solve this big mountain, even if you can gain a foothold for a while, you will eventually retreat and leave. "

The power and status of the Tan family in Yanzhou is a bit like the Meng family and the Lei family in Jizhou, but the difference is that there is no second aristocratic family in Yanzhou that can compete with the Tan family.

This is only referring to Tan Changming. His daughter, Tan Cai'er's mother, is a powerful figure in the world of martial arts in three states, the leader of the Sirius Alliance, and her power is also very huge.

His son-in-law, Ye Huan, is the actual controller of the Demon Lord Palace. Now he is slowly recovering his strength and is also a giant.

With the addition of this trinity, the Tan family is indeed the unquestionable overlord of Yanzhou.

To put it bluntly, Tan Changming was thirty years younger, and when he regained his youthful strength, he was the uncrowned king of Yanzhou.

Even if Tan Changming is still old, if he has a son or grandson as the heir, then Yanzhou will not have the turn of other forces to spy on him. The same goes for Meng Zhao. No matter how he thinks about it, what ability does he have? In the field, how could the Tan family give up Yanzhou?

Even if Meng Zhao and Tan Cai'er get married, Tan Cai'er is still a member of the Meng family, and it will not be the turn of a daughter who is married outside to take over the Tan family's business.

There must be a gap in status among sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters.

However, what I just said is all based on assumptions. The reality is that the Tan family has no successors.

In the final analysis, apart from Tan Changming, the Tan family is only supported by two women.

Even though they all have extraordinary abilities and superb means, they can support the Tan family, but they cannot support Yanzhou.

This is an undoubted fact. Perhaps Tan Changming's ability to sit firmly as the governor of Yanzhou and command a large army cannot be separated from the blessing of the dilemma of having no successor.

For example, if the Beitang royal family can delegate power to Tan Changming, aren't they afraid that if the Tan family becomes powerful, it will become a serious nuisance to them in the future?

From father to son, and from son to grandson, endlessly, Yanzhou will surely become independent and self-reliant.

It turns out that there are hidden dangers in the Tan family, but they are not particularly big.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhao suddenly realized a problem. Will the Beitang royal family make a move on Tan Caier's marriage? This is an excellent strategy. As a royal family, he will marry the Tan family. The Tan family only has daughters and no men. If the marriage is successful, Yanzhou will return to the embrace of the Beitang royal family in the future. No matter how strong the Tan family is, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a wedding dress for the Beitang royal family. Meng Zhao didn't know if he was right, but this might be a hidden danger. Tan Caier's marriage may not only be her own wish, but also the wishes of her elders. It may even be influenced and manipulated by the outside world, such as the royal family. Therefore, even if Gu Li was eliminated, his visit to the Tan family to discuss marriage this time may not be smooth sailing, and he may face unknown difficulties. However, Meng Zhao didn't care about these. From some of Tan Changming's behaviors, he knew that the Tan family was not a soft persimmon, and Tan Changming was not powerless to resist. Even if the Tan family can't bear the pressure, Ye Huan, as the biological father, can stand up and resist.

The Lord of the Demon Palace doesn't care about whether they are royal or not. They are already mortal enemies, so why would he care about adding another grudge?
