On the other side, at this time, Cao Zheng, with 30,000 horses and light vehicles, had traveled more than 50 miles, and did not set up camp at the same place until dusk.

On a hill, Cao Zheng led a few of his cronies to climb up and look into the distance. He was looking in the direction of the Tianjuguan battlefield, fascinated.

"My lord, now it's almost time to win the Heaven's Pass and reward for meritorious deeds, why do you want to retreat bravely at this time?!"

"Leaving at this time, although there is still some credit, but only a few points."

Behind Cao Zheng, most of the counselors were really confused, so they stepped forward to ask for advice.

"Yuanwang, you finally couldn't bear it anymore. I thought that if you could endure it until noon at most, you would not be able to resist asking me. Unexpectedly, 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 father was seriously ill, so as not to cause people to think too much about me leaving at this time."

"What?!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, not knowing why Cao Zheng was doing this.

"There are three reasons for retreating this time."

"First of all, my reputation is not bad. Even if I get a reward from the imperial court, it is just icing on the cake. Now that I am in Qingzhou, no matter how many rewards I get, it is impossible to grant me another state. On the contrary, if I get a reward from the imperial court, There are not many benefits, and it will make Yuan Chu and Huo Zicheng more afraid. It is better to retreat bravely and give people a feeling that my luck is not good, so as to eliminate the fear. At that time, although they will still be afraid of me, it is impossible They regard me as a deadly enemy, and even, if these two fight each other, they will think of coming to win me over."

"Don't you know that you should avoid standing out in everything. The situation in this world is not clear. At this time, it is really inappropriate to send yourself to the forefront."

"Secondly, I have lost great merit because of my filial piety. If I am still squeezed out by Yuan Chuo and Huo Zicheng in the future, at that time, people in the world will feel pity for me because of this, and feel my pure filial piety even more. It's about winning over bravery, if I continue to compete with Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu for merit, I won't be able to beat them by much, and I won't fight any more, in exchange for a reputation of pure filial piety."

"Don't you hear that there was a holy emperor in ancient times, who won the world because of filial piety?!"

"It's true that this is a fabrication made by people later on, but as more people know about it, the fake is also true."

"As for three..."

"The third is a feeling, a very strange feeling. At the beginning when the Zhao thief took Wucheng, the sky was full of stars and fire, and it was mighty, but now, facing us and other coalition forces, although the dispatch is orderly, it can be said that He is a famous general, but in terms of timing, he has not shown the slightest advantage."

"I asked people, and the Taoist said that once the imperial court was powerless against Huang Tian, ​​it was because the heroes of the world were not in the same mind and were not in the imperial court. But now, the princes are united, and it can be said that they have exhausted the power of the world. Natural destiny is useless, but I always feel that, It won't be that simple."

"I asked again and again, and the Taoist said again, if the destiny is heavy, it is indeed possible to be extremely prosperous, but now, Zhao thief has Wu City as a retreat, it is impossible to fall into the situation of ten deaths and no life, and it is impossible for the destiny to rebound from the bottom. I don't need to worry."

"But you all know that I am the most suspicious person. The more Taoists say that, the more worried I am."

"Huo Zicheng, Yuan Chu and others will not be ignorant of the miraculousness of the bandit Zhao when he took Wucheng, but they believed the Taoist's words."

"After all, they didn't intend to kill all the Zhao thieves. With Wu City as a retreat, it's impossible to kill them all."

"From the beginning to the end, the purpose of the coalition forces was only to kill Taoist Huang Tian. If the gate of heaven is lost, Taoist Huang Tian will definitely die from backlash. This is the greatest credit. , and the imperial court suppressed it, how many people can Taoist Huang Tian kill?!"

"Even if you die hundreds or thousands, it's still worth it."

Speaking of this, Cao Zheng spoke with indifference.

In this world, human life is the least valuable. If you can't treat human life as a number, you won't be able to achieve supremacy.

"Even, for everyone, it is a good thing that Zhao thief is alive."

"The Zhao thief is not dead. After a few years, you can use this as a title to continue begging for thieves and continue to make meritorious service. Although this will hurt the court, it will benefit the world. After all, since Huang Tian, ​​heroes have risen side by side. In today's world, It’s no longer the world of the heavens.”

"As for the thief Zhao, the southern wilderness is bitterly cold, and the prosperity of any state is more than twice that of the southern wilderness. Even if it can occupy the southern wilderness and continue to develop, other states and counties are also developing, such as Yangzhou. The grain produced in one year is five times that of Nanhuang. In my land of Qingzhou, the iron ore smelted in one year is twenty times that of Nanhuang. climate……"

When Cao Zheng was talking, he looked at the stars in the sky. Today's weather is very good, the stars are bright, it can be said that the stars are brilliant.

After Cao Zheng finished speaking, he was silent for a while before saying, "The combination of various factors has prompted me to make such a decision."

"Standing up and striving for success may not be a real hero, but being able to retreat bravely is a real hero!"

"I am not a hero yet, but I know what a hero is. In fact, I am reluctant to face great achievements, but I have to give up."

However, these words were heard by everyone, but they were a bit deafening. Many people know the truth, but it is extremely difficult to really do it.

After all, what Cao Zheng said was only half of it, or one side of the matter. He only talked about the benefits of taking a step back, but he didn't say what benefits he would gain if he didn't.

...

Outside the Juetian Pass, there is a high ground, which is about fifty miles away from the battlefield. At this moment, or a long time ago, many Taoists gathered here.

There is one sage, three sects and seven sects in this world Taoist sect, but now in this small place, there are powerful figures of one sage, three sects and seven sects. People from the seven sects, as well as some well-known loose cultivators, old ghost Qimu, master Xieyun, old monk Maya... These masters who founded sects among the people and were hunted down by the court on weekdays also Come here and witness together, the last glory of the only golden fairy that has appeared in the world for thousands of years.

Only Taoists know Taoists best, if Jue Tian is lost, Taoist Huang Tian will die, even if Taoist Buddha came to the world, it is impossible to save him.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Taoist Huang Tian to sit silently, and he will definitely rise up and fight, showing his final edge.

"The number of days, the number of days, God's will has been difficult to ask since ancient times. The Dao Kingdom on the earth will last for thousands of kalpas. A big drama will eventually come to an end."

On a pavilion at the highest point, more than a dozen living immortals gathered together, and it was Xuan Zhenzi who spoke.
