At night, Sun Yuantai was sitting on a wooden wheel and was pushed up to the city tower. With his body and soul haggard, he looked at the enemy's location and couldn't help feeling sad in his heart.

Just like today's decisive defeat, all the heroes in the world are waiting and watching. It can be said that the first wave of people were some powerful people who were dazzled by the matter of being crowned king. But now, everyone is awake and aware. Ying Tianjun was terrifying.

This army is different from the former Huang Tiandao, and even the famous anti-kings in history.

Not only is the equipment more powerful, but more importantly, the terrifying cohesion.

In this world, the strong will always be strong, that is, when you are strong, there will be help from all directions, and everyone will help you and share the benefits.

But when you are weak, even allies will leave you without hesitation if there is no benefit.

Today's Da Cang is facing this problem.

Tian Jue Guan lost the battle and the imperial court showed a huge weakness. Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for those powerful people to take the initiative to fill this bottomless pit with their own lives and the wealth and lives of their subordinates.

"Everyone in the world will not know the truth about the death of lips and teeth. But when the fire does not burn oneself, except for true heroes, the rest are mostly lucky. They cherish their lives when doing big things, and forget their righteousness when they see small gains... "

Sun Yuantai murmured.

Those people would not have any idea of ​​the fate of the once rich and powerful people in the Southern Wilderness.

But after all, Southern Wilderness is too far away, and too many people can only understand it through a few words.

But the current predicament reminded him of the history books he read when he was young. There was an article in it that recorded events several dynasties ago.

At the end of that dynasty, there were countless wealthy people in the world. Some people's property could even buy a city.

The high-ranking officials in the imperial court who had thousands of hectares of farmland at home were not ranked high. Even the junior officials who did not have thousands or hundreds of acres of farmland were considered to be from poor families.

But unfortunately, the imperial court was in such difficulty that it couldn't even afford military expenses.

When the last emperor launched a fund-raising campaign, the emperor's father-in-law, who was the prime minister of the dynasty, donated the most, a huge sum of one thousand taels...

And the farmland under his family's name exceeds 100,000 acres...

Subsequently, there was a great chaos, and barbarians from outside China invaded. A mere 100,000 soldiers defeated the huge dynasty, throwing away their helmets and armor, and paying various compensations.

And even if it is compensation, it will not come from the court or the rich, but will be spread equally to all the poor people in the world.

So three years later, a peasant uprising appeared that was even more powerful than the Huangtian uprising.

The rich and powerful, the powerful officials, those who rebelled against the king all the way, these were the people who were killed, and they were killed directly according to their genealogy.

When the butcher's knife fell, those people finally realized that they were wrong and that they were afraid, but it was too late.

Of course, the subsequent defeat of the rebel king was also due to this.

After killing those people, some who escaped by chance and some who were frightened united, either raised their own troops or supported heroes. It took nearly ten years to finally bring this wave of fear to them. The power of fear is eliminated.

However, because of such a killing, the subsequent imperial court established had the longest national destiny among the dozens of recent dynasties.

This incident has been recorded in the annals of history. I am afraid that few people who have read books have not read this paragraph.

However, this still does not affect the world's powerful people waiting and watching.

Therefore, every time he thought of this, Sun Yuantai also felt powerless.

Learning from history, what can be learned is not to escape from the mistakes that have occurred again and again, or escape from the cycle of history, but to repeat the same mistakes again and again...

But now, he was in trouble today. Not only was he lacking support, but more importantly, there was also a problem with the transportation of food and grass.

The impact of Cao Zheng's rebellion was not just on Zhao Cheng's side. It was as simple as tens of thousands more troops and a few talents. The most important thing was that Qingzhou actually belonged to Cao Zheng.

It would be fine if Da Cang had the upper hand now. Although Cao Zheng rebelled, the powerful people in Qingzhou might not follow Cao Zheng, but would choose to wait and see.

But now, the local powerful are weak. Seeing that the "leader" Cao Zheng has rebelled, and seeing that the imperial court is weak, they are already plotting a way out.

Either they choose to move the whole family, or they choose to move part of the family and keep the fire. The other part is let Cao Zheng build a bridge and choose to join the Heavenly Army...

In addition, the backlash of his forced recruitment of young men also appeared. In the past few days, there was a lot of restlessness in the city. Although he was suppressing it with his army, the people's hearts were no longer available.

However, he no longer cares about the popularity of the people. If it is for the sake of the country, so what if he will be infamy for thousands of years? !

After a long time, Sun Yuantai ordered people to carry him down from the tower.

However, before leaving, he still issued a military order that the city walls must be guarded at night, especially at dawn, to prevent the enemy from stealing the city.

But at this moment, a man in shabby clothes suddenly rushed from the tower. The man rushed straight towards Sun Yuantai and shouted: "Death to the old thief!"

But when he was still about fifty steps away from Sun Yuantai, several gunshots rang out, directly beating the man into a sieve. But at this time, the explosives tied to the man's body were also detonated by bullets. .

Boom!

With an explosion, the few soldiers closest to the man were killed on the spot. The splattered flesh and blood fragments were scattered everywhere. One drop of blood even spanned a distance of fifty steps and splashed on Sun Yuantai's face.

But in the face of such a shocking change, Sun Yuantai looked as usual, without any panic.

"Check and find out who this assassin is."

Sun Yuantai said calmly.

About half an hour later, what Sun Yuantai wanted to know had been delivered to him.

This assassin was not an enemy spy, but a tofu seller in the city. His wife died in childbirth very early on, leaving him alone to raise his two sons and depend on each other.

But just a few days ago, a strong man was arrested in the city. First, his two sons were arrested, and then he was also arrested.

After arriving, he learned that his two sons were dead.

Undoubtedly, this was not in line with Sun Yuantai's policy of one person per household. After all, those strong men would not dare to rebel when their families were around.

Otherwise, if hundreds of thousands of strong men make trouble, I am afraid that all of a sudden the army will be in chaos.

But the people below, even at this time, are still thinking about making money. This matter is nothing more than the wealthy households in the city spending money and letting the soldiers capture other people to take the blame.

The big-head soldiers would not dare to do such a thing. There must be support from someone above...

When he was assassinated before, Sun Yuantai was calm and calm, but now, he was really angry, and his anger was mixed with deep helplessness.

Now that the war is urgent, even if he knew it, he would not be able to rectify military discipline at this time, because the officers involved in this matter are definitely not one or two, but a large number of officers.

If he vigorously rectifies it, everyone will definitely be in danger.

When people's hearts are in danger, under the pressure of foreign enemies, the people under their command may not be able to rebel.
