On the other side, at this time, Cao Zheng, with 30,000 horses and horses, had traveled more than fifty miles in a light carriage. It was not until dusk that he set up camp at the same place.
On a hill, Cao Zheng, with a few of his close associates, climbed up and looked far into the distance. They were looking in the direction of the Tianjueguan battlefield, and they were in a trance.
"My lord, it's almost time to win the Heaven's Jue Pass and be rewarded based on your merits. Why do you have to retreat bravely at this time?!"
"If you leave at this time, you can certainly gain some credit, but only a few points."
Behind Cao Zheng, a man with most of his advisers couldn't figure it out, so he stepped forward to ask for advice.
"Yuanwang, you finally couldn't help it anymore. I thought that you would be able to endure it until noon at most, and then you wouldn't be able to help asking me. I didn't expect that you could endure it until this time."
Cao Zheng laughed when he heard this.
"I won't hide it from you. In fact, my old father is not sick at all. I made up the fact that my old father is seriously ill, so as not to cause people to think too much if I leave at this time."
"What?!"
"After all, they don't plan to kill all the Zhao thieves. With Wucheng as a retreat, it's impossible to kill them all."
"As for Zhao Thief, the Southern Wilderness is bitterly cold. The prosperity of any state is more than twice that of the Southern Wilderness. Even if it can occupy all of the Southern Wilderness and continue to develop, other states and counties are also developing. Take the land of Yangzhou.
The food produced in one year is five times that of the Southern Barren. The iron ore smelted in our Qingzhou land in one year is twenty times that of the Southern Barren. Once you enter the Southern Barren, you will be trapped in a dragon. No matter how difficult it is to achieve success,
climate……"
"I asked again and again, and the Taoist said, if the destiny is strong, it is indeed possible to have a peaceful life, but now, Zhao Thief has Wucheng as an escape route, and it is impossible to fall into a situation of death and no life, nor can he let the destiny bottom out and let him
I don't have to worry."
"Don't you hear that there was a holy emperor in ancient times who conquered the world because of his filial piety?!"
"But as you all know, I am the most suspicious person. The more Taoist priests say this, the more worried I become."
Speaking of this, Cao Zheng's words were filled with indifference.
Outside Juetian Pass, there is a highland, about fifty miles away from the battlefield. At this moment, or rather a long time ago, many Taoists gathered here.
…
"First of all, my reputation is not bad. Even if I get a reward from the imperial court, it is just the icing on the cake. Now I am in Qingzhou. No matter how many rewards I get, it is impossible for me to get another province. On the contrary, if I get a reward from the imperial court,
There are not many benefits, and it will also make Yuan Chu and Huo Zicheng jealous. It is better to retreat bravely and give people a feeling that I am not lucky, so as to eliminate their fear. When the time comes, although they will still be jealous of me, it is impossible
He regards me as his mortal enemy, and even if these two people were to fight, they would even think of trying to win me over."
In this world, human life is the least valuable thing. If you cannot treat human life as a number, you will not be able to achieve hegemony.
"Huo Zicheng, Yuan Chu and others would not have known about the mysterious situation when the Zhao thief captured Wucheng, but they believed the Taoist's words."
But these words, when heard by everyone, were a bit deafening. Many people know the truth, but it is so difficult to do it.
"Don't you hear that you should avoid being too public in everything? In today's world, the situation is unclear. At this time, it is really inappropriate to put yourself at the forefront of the storm."
"I asked the question, and the Taoist said that in the past, the imperial court was powerless in the face of Huang Tian, because all the heroes in the world were not united in their minds and were not in the court. But now, the princes are united, and it can be said that they are using all the energy of the world, and the natural destiny is useless, but I always feel,
It won't be that simple."
After Cao Zheng finished speaking, he was silent for a while and then said: "The combination of various factors prompted me to make such a decision."
After all, what Cao Zheng said was only half, or one side of the story. He only talked about the benefits of taking a step back, but did not say what would be gained if he didn't step back.
"The third is a feeling, a very strange feeling. When the Zhao thieves took Wucheng, the stars and fire rained down in a mighty and mighty way. It can be said that they took all the time. But now, facing our coalition forces, although the arrangements are orderly, it can be said that
A famous general, but in terms of weather and timing, he does not show the slightest advantage."
While Cao Zheng was talking, he looked at the stars in the sky. The weather was very good today and the stars were bright. It could be said that the stars were brilliant.
"Even if I die hundreds or thousands, it's still worth it."
"I am not a hero yet, but I know what a hero is like. In fact, I am reluctant to give up in the face of great achievements, but I have to give up even if I don't want to give up."
"You may not be a true hero if you stand up and fight for merit, but you are a true hero if you can retreat bravely."
"In fact, for everyone, it is a good thing that Thief Zhao is alive."
"Secondly, I have lost great merit because of my filial piety. If I am still ostracized by Yuan Chu and Huo Zicheng in the future, then everyone in the world will feel pity for me because of this, and will be even more grateful for my pure filial piety. To everyone in the world, pure filial piety
It has to be better than bravery. If I continue to compete with Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu for credit, I won't be able to win much against them. I can't just refuse to compete in exchange for a reputation of pure filial piety."
"From the beginning to the end, the purpose of the coalition forces was just to kill Taoist Huang Tian. If the barrier of heaven is lost, Taoist Huang Tian will definitely die from the backlash. This is the greatest achievement. Even if Taoist Huang Tian jumps over the wall in a hurry, he will suffer such serious injuries.
, and with the imperial power to suppress him, how many people can Taoist Huang Tian kill?!"
"If the Zhao thief doesn't die, in a few years he can use this as a name to continue to fight against the thief and continue to perform meritorious services. This will certainly harm the court, but it will benefit the world. After all, since Huang Tian, heroes have arisen together. In today's world,
It’s no longer the world of heaven.”
In this world of Taoist sects, there are one holy three sects and seven ways. Now in this small place, powerful figures from one holy three sects and seven ways have gathered here. In addition, there are slightly lesser inheritances, the thirteen evil ways, and the ten evil ways.
People from the Seven Side Sects, as well as some famous casual cultivators, the old ghost Qi Mu, the master Xie Yun, the old monk Maya... these masters who established religions and sects among the people and were hunted down by the court on weekdays, also
Come here to witness the final glory of the only Golden Immortal that has appeared in the world for thousands of years.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, wondering why Cao Zheng was doing this.
"There are three reasons for retreating this time."
"This is certainly a fabrication made by later generations, but with more people knowing about it, the falsehood is also true."
"As for three..."
Only Taoists know Taoists best. If Jue Tian is lost, Taoist Huang Tian will die. Even if Taoist Buddha comes to this world, it is impossible to save him.
Under such circumstances, Taoist Huang Tian cannot die silently. He will definitely rise up to fight and show his final edge.
"The number of days, the number of days, God's will has been difficult to ask since ancient times. In the kingdom of heaven on earth, after countless tribulations, a great drama will eventually come to an end."
In a pavilion at the highest point, more than a dozen immortals gathered together, and the one who spoke was none other than Xuan Zhenzi.
