"When the Crusaders invaded the Qin Empire, the general had already seen that the Qin Empire was not an enemy of the Crusaders. The only way to defeat the Crusaders was to use the Qin Empire's strategic depth, vast territory and huge population resources to slowly
Drag the Crusaders to death..."
"But, I still lost." General Chang Kong had a look of loneliness on his face.
"I think the general should know the reason." Zhao Yuan sighed, "The more a dynasty reaches its end, its darkness and cruelty will often reach an unprecedented level. When the Qin Empire was declining, its political body was also full of flaws.
Out-of-control corruption, bribery, malpractice for personal gain, speculation, corruption and perversion of the law, and rent-seeking for power have become common official customs. The failure of the country is due to the evil officials; the failure of the officials is due to favoring and bribery. Once the officials rule
If it is corrupted and disciplines are weakened, its politics will inevitably deteriorate. Coupled with internal and external troubles and crises, everyone will beat them. As a result, the Qin Empire was invaded by foreign enemies and immediately caused the collapse of all fronts..."
"The failure of the country is due to the evil officials; the failure of the officials is due to favoring and bribing Zhang." General Changkong muttered something in his mouth, and felt lost for a while. He lowered his voice and asked: "General Zhao thinks that the strength of the Qin Empire has been exhausted?"
"The number of Qi is the same as the sky, and man can defeat the sky!" Zhao Yuan's deep eyes were like the vast stars in the sky.
"Well done, one person can conquer the sky. Sure enough, there are talented people from generation to generation. Great Qin River and Mountain are full of outstanding people and heroes. It's time for me, an immortal old man, to retire."
General Changkong burst into laughter, and there was endless vicissitudes and sadness in that laughter.
"Man can conquer nature, which is also one of the destiny. In just one year, the Crusaders swept across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Qin Empire, and hundreds of Qin armies collapsed. This was just in accordance with the destiny, so the Crusaders gained power. However, the Crusaders did not stay prepared for danger, but instead
If you are arrogant and domineering, all the magic weapons in the world belong to me; except for me, all the sects in the world are heretical, but I am the only one who is right; if you don’t follow my teachings, you will kill yourself. How can such virtue last long? It is also right.
Because of this, cultivators from various factions in Zhanyun Continent gathered together to join the Anti-Crusader Army, leveraging the Crusader's rule, one by one..."
"General, you are humble." General Changkong was stunned and looked at Zhao Yuan with deep eyes.
"Follow the way of heaven and embrace all dharmas. Don't talk about the less in terms of more, and call the more in the name of great righteousness. Don't talk about the more in terms of the less, and call the less in the name of evil and leftist. It should not be regarded by others, nor should it be respected, but only
Use the weather to guide things." Zhao Yuan said calmly.
"Congratulations to General Zhao." General Changkong suddenly said.
"Thank you, General."
"Unexpectedly, in just one year, General Zhao actually asked about the way of heaven, and there was a hope of ascending to heaven. But Chang, for his own selfishness, made all living beings miserable and the Taoist heart was destroyed." General Chang Kong looked at the sky in the distance, and in his eyes,
There was a hint of sadness again.
"General!" Zhao Yuan was shocked.
"No need to say more, let's go into the city."
General Changkong interrupted Zhao Yuan, turned around, and strode into Blackwater City. His back no longer looked as majestic as before, and he looked like an old man in his dying years...
…
On the third day of the Battle of the Blood Barbarian Bull, which was the day when the Crusaders from Jiudaowan and Maple Grove evacuated, Blackwater City held a grand celebration banquet.
When the celebration banquet was held, and after hearing that the Crusaders from Jiudaowan and Maple Grove were evacuating, the whole fanatical atmosphere in Blackwater City reached another climax.
Zhao Yuan was not surprised by the news of the evacuation of the Crusaders from Jiudaowan and Maple Grove.
General Gore knew very well that within the scope of Blackwater City, the Qin Empire's military horses had an absolute advantage. Once Blackwater City breathed a sigh of relief, a large-scale military force would definitely be launched against Jiudaowan and Maple Grove.
action.
The advantage of the Crusaders was the cavalry. Facing the cavalry, a new force of hundreds of thousands of slaves, the Crusaders had no chance of winning.
What the Qin Empire is best at is using infantry to attack cities. If the infantry of the Qin Empire were covered by the Cinu cavalry, it would be a nightmare for the Jiudaowan and Maple Grove Crusaders.
Faced with this predicament, there is no doubt that the two major barracks cannot be defended. Since they cannot be defended, it is better to evacuate proactively to preserve their strength.
It has to be said that General Gore is a very far-sighted military strategist. He is able to understand choices, be decisive in killing, and know how to cut through the mess quickly to avoid a stalemate in the war. This will cause a psychological blow to the indomitable Crusaders.
In addition, after burning the two barracks, it can more or less contain Blackwater City for a period of time. After all, the two barracks are the corners of Blackwater City. Blackwater City will definitely spend a lot of money to repair it. To a certain extent, this is also the case.
It is a kind of containment for Blackwater City, and it can also consume a lot of supplies from Blackwater City...
…
When the news of the evacuation of the Crusaders from the two barracks reached Blackwater City, the climax of the banquet reached its peak, and Zhao Yuan became the center of attention. Zhao Yuan was surrounded by all kinds of flattery.
All the civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire congratulated Zhao Yuan, and even the current emperor issued an edict to confer Zhao Yuan the title of Undefeated God of War.
If Zhao Yuan's name as the Undefeated God of War was voluntarily awarded by the people in the past, then now Zhao Yuan's title of the Undefeated God of War is justifiable.
In the eyes of some officials of the Great Qin Empire, Zhao Yuan would be the second Changkong General, with power over both the government and the public. As for the real Changkong Army, he was already declining.
General Changkong only attended the celebration banquet at the beginning, and then hid in a small room.
The room is divided by bead curtains, so you can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.
Looking at the stars holding the moon, Zhao Yuan frequently raised his glass, and General Changkong had mixed feelings. Back then, he was also so prosperous, but as time has made people grow old, he is no longer as brave as he used to be.
The little emperor kept moving around the room, and from time to time he would come to the bead curtain and look around curiously.
Seeing the confused look on the little emperor's face, General Chang Kong let out a long sigh and coughed violently again, coughing out large balls of blood.
The Great Hammer God sitting next to General Changkong is like a sculpture, with a dull face and no expression at all.
The Great Qin Empire was in turmoil...
Finally, Zhao Yuan dismissed all the civil and military officials.
From beginning to end, Zhao Yuan paid attention to one person - Guo Ax.
Guo Futou was drinking alone. Instead of crowding around him like Yang Cheng, Lu Feng, and Qiu Xiaochong, he was sitting in the corner, silently pouring his own drink.
In this battle of the Blood Barbarian Bull, Zhao Yuan's light overshadowed Guo Ax. Everyone put the credit on Zhao Yuan. Almost no one realized that without Guo Ax, the situation would not have turned around so clearly.
There will be no good news about the evacuation of the Nine Bends and Maple Grove Crusaders.
Of course, Guo Futou never cared about competing with Zhao Yuan for the limelight, he was thinking about other things.
Fairy Caixia, Wan Ling'er and the others.
At first, Guo Futou and Fairy Caixia were brought into the Prison Suppressing Stone Drum by the White Dragon King, but only Guo Futou returned to Zhanyun Continent. This made Guo Futou not sure how to communicate with Zhao Yuan. He also knew that Zhao Yuan was very
I'll ask him soon.
Of course, besides Fairy Caixia, Guo Axe has more important things to discuss with Zhao Yuan.
However, Guo Ax was wrong.
When Zhao Yuan walked up to him, he just hugged him heavily.
"Zhao Yuan..." Guo Ax hesitated before speaking.
"Brothers are happy today. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later and drink." Zhao Yuan smiled and raised his glass.
"Yeah." Guo Ax nodded heavily.
"Come, let's have a drink, brothers!" Zhao Yuan turned around and said to Lu Feng, Yang Cheng and others.
"Fuck!" Everyone responded with a roar, and the atmosphere was extremely heated.
…
"sit."
In the secret room, General Changkong signaled Zhao Yuan to sit down, and poured tea for Zhao Yuan himself. Zhao Yuan, who was not surprised by the favor, quickly stood up, but was stopped by General Changkong and had to sit down.
Why did General Changkong keep him late at night?
Looking at General Changkong pouring tea slowly, countless questions arose in Zhao Yuan's mind. He knew very well that General Changkong's visit to him was definitely not on official business, because there was no need for official business to go through these three steps, one post, and five steps.
In the secret room of Yishao.
"Zhao Yuan, I won't live long." General Chang Kong said slowly.
"General!" Zhao Yuan was shocked and quickly took out a large pile of pills from his Xumi Ring, "I have some pills here..."
"Thank you for your kindness. I know my own business."
General Changkong looked at the pile of pills in Zhao Yuan's hand, shook his head, and showed a trace of relief on his face.
