The situation changed so fast that even with his ingenuity, he could not imagine how Zhao Cheng managed to instigate two hundred thousand strong men in a very short period of time.

As for Zhao Cheng asking someone to ambush and intercept him here, this is secondary.

According to his expectations, Tianjueguan should be able to hold on for at least two more months.

Even if we can only persist for two more months, it is also because of the advancement of weapons.

Because in history, Tianjueguan once appeared, and with five thousand defenders, it blocked the enemy's 600,000-strong army for half a year.

Five thousand blocking six hundred thousand, this is not because of how powerful the defender is, but because this city is a natural hazard.

While Sun Yuantai was daydreaming, he was already stood in front of a man dressed as a general.

The man grabbed Sun Yuantai's chin, forced his head up, and sneered: "Are you Sun Yuantai?!"

"I thought he had three heads and six arms, but he turned out to be just a dying old man!"

"By the way, I heard that your articles are very good!"

“So, there’s no need to write anymore!”

While speaking, the man did not hesitate to draw the sword from his waist and cut off five fingers of Sun Yuantai's right hand.

Afterwards, he received half of the sword, suddenly paused, and said: "It is said that many scholars can write with both hands, but they cannot keep the other hand."

At the same time as he said this, there was another flash of sword light, and the fingers of his other hand also fell down.

While blood spattered, Sun Yuantai was also stunned, but he never expected that the enemy would torture him like this.

After all, under normal circumstances, once a prisoner like him is captured alive, he can ask for a lot of things from the court in exchange.

This is also the reason why when the two armies fought in ancient times, some important figures liked to be captured alive.

Dead people are the least valuable, no matter what their status is.

But if there are some important people alive, it is not impossible to move to half a state.

However, if you kill him, you can only give it away as a "hero fragment".

"Old man, remember, my name is Wei Ye!"

"If it hadn't been for the general's command to capture you alive, I would have killed you today!"

Wei Ye patted Sun Yuantai's cheek frivolously again.

"Did your general tell you that the complete Sun Yuantai is the most valuable?!"

"Do you know how much your two swords will cost your general?"

Although blood was pouring from his hands, Sun Yuantai calmed down at the moment and said coldly, as if he was not the one being captured.

It is said that the sword of a general is the mouth of a scholar. When a scholar like Sun Yuantai speaks, the edge in his words can be said to be heart-piercing in every word.

But he expected that Wei Ye must be loyal to Zhao Cheng, so he wanted to kill him in order to avenge him.

"oh?!"

"Did you know that before I came here, I asked the general for instructions, and the general said that I would just give you a breath."

"Now I have only chopped off your paws and left your tongue untouched. I am already feeling soft. If you are talking too much, I will give you your tongue too, lest you continue to talk dirty words."

Wei Ye sneered. The appeal that Sun Yuantai wrote originally made him very angry.

Don't even talk about him. The entire Yingtian Army is eager to crush Thief Sun into ashes. This old guy actually wants to have a future? That's nothing more than wishful thinking.

"Come here, bandage Sun Thief!"

Wei Ye waved his hand, and immediately an accompanying military doctor walked out of the team.

Although he was hating in his heart, thinking of Zhao Cheng's order, he still did not let Sun Yuantai bleed to death.

By the time the military doctor bandaged up, Sun Yuantai had already fainted.

In Tian Jue Pass, Wei Ye looked at the fire on the tower and the hustle and bustle in the city, and couldn't help but feel a sense of being in another world.

In the earliest days, as Zhao Cheng's personal soldier, he followed Zhao Cheng and set out from the Tianjue Pass to enter the Southern Wilderness.

It's a pity that the army was defeated and could only fall into the mountains.

I thought I was at the end of my rope, but I didn't expect to find a way out in the end.

But now, they are sitting on a million-strong army, coming out from the southern wasteland. The most difficult to conquer the Tianjue Pass has also been passed. From then on, it is true that the sky is high and the dragon leaps.

The curse of trapping the dragon in the southern wilderness was thus broken.

There is no need to go out of the Southern Wilderness five times, nor seven times out of the Southern Wilderness, nor ten times out of the Southern Wilderness. Just once, the trapped dragon ascends to the sky.

By the time of destiny, the king's flag had changed on the city wall.

All the flags belonging to Da Cang were removed, while the flags belonging to the new country were fluttering on the city tower.

After a few days, Zhao Cheng did not continue to use troops, but stabilized the bridgehead out of the southern wilderness.

He first cleaned up the evil spirits in the city. As for the big families, if anyone was willing to be used by him, he would break up the family members and move them to different places. If they were not willing, he would confiscate the family and exterminate the family.

As for the original officials in the city, they were all replaced by Zhao Cheng. As early as in the Southern Wilderness, he had cultivated many sets of reserve official systems. He did this in order to quickly conquer a city. take it for their own use.

At the same time, the Taoist officials he trained also went deep into the common people. On the one hand, they upheld justice for the common people, and on the other hand, they also attracted some people with sincere minds, either into the Taoist official system or recommended them. Join the militia.

When you are free, you serve the people, and when you are busy, you serve as soldiers. This is the militia.

In this process, some people who were hiding deeply and had a heart for the great blue were also caught out and sent to mine.

After a month of this, the entire Tianjue Pass has been marked by the Ying Tian Army. From the administrative system to the patrolling militia, everyone is a member of the Ying Tian Army. If anyone dares to cross it, they will be killed immediately. A thunderous strike.

Under this situation, although there are still undercurrents surging secretly, it can no longer change the general trend.

After that, Zhao Cheng finally left Tianjue and marched to Qingzhou. Wherever the troops passed, under Cao Zheng's lobbying and the intimidation of Ying Tian's army, more than thirty cities in a row surrendered after hearing the news without making any move. Not the slightest resistance.

Zhao Cheng also gave more preferential treatment to those who voluntarily surrendered, but one thing was that the family must disperse and cannot stay in one place.

After more than two months, most of Qingzhou has fallen into Zhao Cheng's hands.

On the other side, Sun Yuantai, who was arranged by Zhao Cheng to be taken around the southern wilderness, quietly ended his life in a wooden house on a rainy night after thinking for half a night.

He has always regarded Zhao Cheng as a thief, but when he came to Nanhuang in person, he found that Zhao Cheng had realized his boyhood ideal in Nanhuang.

The boy's dream of a peaceful country and a peaceful world.

The people and the king are no longer in opposition to each other. It is not that water can carry a boat or capsize it, but that water is a boat, and a boat is water, and everyone builds the world together.

If such a person is still a demon, then what have all the previous dynasties been? !

The devil within the devil? !

As a result, his Taoist heart was broken and his faith completely collapsed.

The only way to end this is with his own death.

And this is also Zhao Cheng's purpose. Killing people is meaningless, he prefers to kill people's hearts.
