Chapter 309: A sudden enlightenment
"There should be two reasons why the Tianwu royal family did not take action."
Then An Lan said the two reasons he judged.
The first reason is that the Tianwu royal family is still very wary of the Tuoba family.
Although the invasion not long ago caused the loss of tens of thousands of Zhanhu soldiers, and the attack on Tiannan Pass also caused a large number of casualties.
But the invading army that suffered the most casualties was not the Zhanhu army, but only a part of the Zhanhu army.
More importantly, Tiannan Pass and most of the southern areas of the Tianwu Dynasty are in the hands of the Tuoba family.
If the Tianwu royal family directly attacks the Tuoba family, it may force the Tuoba family to do something irrational.
What's more, the four major families of the Tianwu Dynasty are basically of the same blood.
Dealing with the Tuoba family will inevitably arouse the anger of the other three families, and will make them join forces to fight against the royal family.
As for the second reason, it is naturally that the Tianwu royal family does not want to put such things in the open.
If ordinary people and cultivators of the Tianwu Imperial Family knew that after the failed invasion, the Imperial Family and the Tuoba Family had a civil war, there would be public resentment.
Once the public resentment in the imperial court is boiling, it is very likely that a major change will occur.
If the four major families use the public resentment to force the imperial family to abdicate, it will be very disadvantageous to the imperial family.
After saying these two points, An Lan continued: "Although the Tianwu Imperial Family has not made any moves on the surface, they must have some plans in secret."
"The Emperor of Tianwu is old. If there is no special opportunity, the remaining life span is not enough to suppress the entire Tianwu Dynasty.
So when his time comes, he will definitely try his best to resolve the threat of the four major families.
There was no opportunity before, but this time we took the initiative to offer the opportunity, and the Emperor of Tianwu will definitely not miss it.
After all, for the Emperor of Tianwu, who has a limited life span, resolving the four major families is far more important than the expedition to Daqian."
Listening to An Lan's analysis, Lu Fan nodded in approval. He and An Lan guessed roughly the same.
After all, he also knew about the general situation in the Tianwu Dynasty from Tuoba Yanlu and others.
Naturally, he knew that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the Tianwu Imperial Family and the four major families.
Although the four major borders of the Daqian Dynasty were not directly guarded by the people of his cheap father.
But the people guarding the borders of Daqian were all his uncles, at least they were closer.
However, the four major families guarding the four major borders of the Tianwu Dynasty had nothing to do with the Tianwu Imperial Family.
If they had to say that there was a relationship, perhaps it was only a fragile marriage relationship.
Facing their respective interests, neither the Tianwu Imperial Family nor the four major families would have any scruples.
This was the biggest difference between Daqian and Tianwu.
Even so, the cheap father was very wary of the four uncles guarding the four major borders, let alone the Tianwu Emperor.
If he were the Tianwu Emperor, he would have tried every means to get rid of the four major families.
So the Tianwu Emperor would never miss this excellent opportunity.
Just as Lu Fan was thinking about this, An Lan smiled and said, "Your Highness, in fact, controlling the Tianwu Dynasty is difficult and easy, so there is no need to be so cautious."
When Lu Fan, who was thinking, heard this, he looked at An Lan curiously.
"Your Highness should know one thing. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are futile.
Your Highness, you have a peerless strongman like General Xia, and you also have an incomparable control method.
These two combined are almost invincible, and can easily control most of the existence.
In this case, why bother to provoke conflicts between the Tianwu Imperial Family and the Tuoba Family or the four major families?"
At this point, An Lan paused, and continued with a gleam in his eyes:
"Use the means to deal with Tuoba Mingyu to go to the Tuoba Family and control the Tuoba Family first.
Then use the Tuoba Family to attract the other three major families, and control the strong men of the other three major families in turn.
As long as the four major families are controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the four major borders and the four elite legions of the Tianwu Dynasty.
By that time, the Tianwu Imperial Family will be a turtle in a jar. Whether it is to control it or to destroy it, it will be easy."
As An Lan said this, Lu Fan was stunned, and the expression on his face changed rapidly.
All along, he has been thinking about using various political means or plans to seize what he wants or achieve his goals.
After all, in his cognition, the world of the dynasty is full of conspiracies and various means.
It is precisely because he fell into such a misunderstanding that he ignored his greatest reliance.
He has an incomparable summoning system, and has many powerful people under him, such as Xiahou Dun, Pang De and Cao Zhengchun.
Although it is not as good as various top forces, it is much stronger than the Tianwu Dynasty and those forces in Tianwu and Daqian.
There may be strong people in the realm of refining spirits in the two dynasties and their forces, but there are definitely no strong people in the realm of distraction.
After all, if there are strong people in the realm of distraction, the two dynasties and the forces in the dynasties would have become second-rate forces long ago.
They would compete for more resources and territory instead of shrinking in this extremely barren and tiny place.
In other words, Xiahou Dun's cultivation strength is the ceiling in the two dynasties.
Although it is impossible to confront a million-strong army head-on, it is easy to deal with scattered strong men.
Coupled with various treasures such as the primary soul control technique and the invisibility talisman, it is easy to suppress and control these forces.
There is no need to think of any conspiracy, let alone mobilize the hatred of the Tianwu royal family and the Tuoba family.
Only when the weak face the strong, do they need conspiracy to assist.
It is not so troublesome for the strong to deal with the weak, just use force to crush them.
I have been in this misunderstanding before.
The reason for this is naturally influenced by the thinking of the previous life, thinking that if you are in the dynasty, you must use power and tricks.
But I overlooked the most important point.
I am indeed in the dynasty, but more importantly, I am in a world of cultivation where the strong are respected.
As long as you control absolute power, you can do what you want directly without worrying about anything or anyone.
An Lan's words were like enlightenment, which completely woke him up.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, the complex expression on Lu Fan's face turned into firmness and confidence, and he also laughed.
"Haha... Not bad, well said, I was a bit stuck in a dead end before."
Seeing Lu Fan figured it out, An Lan also smiled.
In fact, she discovered this not long after she met Lu Fan.
It's just that their relationship hadn't reached this point at that time, so she didn't say anything rashly.
In her opinion, Lu Fan was like holding an extremely sharp sword, but didn't know how to attack the enemy.
To be precise, he was holding a sharp sword, but chose to dig a pit and wait for the enemy to jump.
This is a complete waste of the greatest advantage he has.
After Lu Fan figured it out, he was in a good mood and began to continue asking Tuoba Qi.
After a while, Tuoba Mingyu and Fang Yongquan walked into the courtyard with five captains...
