After that, Taoist Huang Tian and Zhao Cheng, the old and the young, did not ride horses, but just led the horses towards Tianjue Pass.
Everyone behind them also led their horses and followed one after another.
The wind blew up the smoke and dust. Looking at the two figures in front of them, many people couldn't help but feel that the old and the young were passing away, and the fire and fire were passed down from generation to generation.
However, Zhao Cheng and Taoist Huang Tian were walking and talking for a long time, talking about gold and iron, mountains, rivers and the world.
At this moment, they are no longer students and disciples, but seekers for the same ideal.
Huang Tian's great cause is to seek the Tao, but to seek for it, not the transcendent Tao of Heaven, but the rolling Tao of humanity.
Later, Taoist Huang Tian talked about himself. He said that when he was a child, he was studying. In the first lesson, the teacher taught him that the king of heaven and earth is the highest, and the teacher is the highest. He didn't notice the difference, but why can the king be higher than the mother? !
The seeds had been planted as early as that time.
Therefore, when natural disasters and man-made disasters bring chaos to the world, you see your wife selling herself as a vegetable, you see some people feeding their children, you see farmers working hard in farming, but when disaster occurs, the first person to starve to death is the one who grows food. farmer, so he realized.
This is because the heaven and earth are without virtue, so it is necessary to destroy the tripod and establish a new heaven. This is because the king has no virtue, so it is necessary to kill his family, destroy his clan, and establish a new king. Otherwise, how can we comfort the hungry people? !
Now that we have enjoyed the support of the ant people in the world, we must bear the responsibility that the ant people in the world will turn back and eat nothing in the world, and only enjoy the benefits without taking responsibility.
If there is, it proves that the world should change...
Halfway through the journey, the two men finally mounted their horses and galloped on the road.
…
Tianjueguan is where the city gate is.
Zhao Cheng's father, Zhao Sheng, and his younger sister, Zhao Xiang, were waiting anxiously at the city gate.
The changes in their circumstances over the past six months have not been huge for their father and daughter. It can even be said that after so long, they still feel like they are in a dream. Occasionally when they wake up in the middle of the night, they will think of the past. Are you dreaming all these things?
And just a few days ago, they were informed that Zhao Cheng would be returning.
Taoist Huang Tian did not hide the news about Zhao Cheng from them, whether it was gathering people in the mountains or capturing Wucheng.
But the more earth-shattering what Zhao Cheng did, the more they felt that the world was unreal.
Today, Zhao Chengcai finally returned.
However, because their father and daughter were not good at riding horses, Taoist Huang Tian did not take them with him when they left the city. Instead, he asked them to wait at the city gate and asked Zhang Huang'er to accompany them.
"coming!"
Finally, Zhang Huanger suddenly said.
Then they saw dust and smoke rising in the distance, and then there was the sound of horse hooves. Then, they saw two horses running side by side in the front. It seemed that even if there were thousands of troops in front, they could not resist the hoofs of these two horses.
When they approached the city gate, the two riders turned from fast to slow.
"What do you think of this city?!"
Taoist Huang Tian reined in his horse and asked.
"This city is strong, but it cannot rule the world."
Zhao Cheng speaks out.
…
In the blink of an eye, it took more than half a month.
On the first day after entering the Tianjue Pass, Taoist Huang Tian first summoned the civil and military personnel in the army, and then distributed rewards based on his merits. He rewarded Zhao Cheng for taking Wucheng and gave him the title of General Yingtian to lead the entire army.
This reward was awarded very urgently. According to logic, normally, even if the foundation is handed over, General Zhao Cheng will not be allowed to lead the entire army first, but the elite among the generals will be handed over first and Zhao Cheng can train them there. The team, after such a period of time, gradually spread its tentacles, and finally completely controlled the army.
But Taoist Huang Tian knows that there is no such time now. If it is too late, there will be changes, and if it is too late, there will be chaos.
If Zhao Cheng did not take Wucheng and did so himself, it would definitely destabilize the army. But now, with Zhao Cheng's prestige, although there will be some problems and several drawbacks, this is already the best result.
After the reward was over, the officials were invited to a banquet and enjoyed themselves happily.
In the next half month, Zhao Cheng was familiar with the structure of the army, getting to know the key figures in it, and at the same time making an appearance in the army to avoid the situation where the soldiers did not know the generals.
Unlike the Ying Tian Army created by Zhao Cheng, the Huang Tian Army in the hands of Taoist Huang Tian had a lot of shortcomings because it had been established for a long time. Zhao Cheng saw everything but did not make any changes.
It is the most foolish thing to make changes before the authority is firmly grasped. Naturally, he will not make such a mistake.
Youdao means not changing your father's ways for three years. It means that the new emperor will not change some of the policies of the previous emperor in the first three years after he ascends the throne. Only in this way can the world be at peace.
A stable system cannot be changed if you want to. Many times, if you don't change it, the system can still run for a while. Once you change it, it will collapse on the spot.
However, Zhao Cheng also had plans for how to reform.
Now the imperial court has issued an edict to attack Huang Tian's army. Thirteen powerful people have responded and are counted as thirteen princes. As for the small ones, there are countless others. However, they cannot serve as the main force and can only wave flags and shout.
At this time, the thirteen princes have begun to increase their troops. Counting the marching time, they will fight over in half a year at most.
At that time, Huang Tianjun was stationed in the city and it was the time for military training.
Zhao Cheng can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate some of the long-standing shortcomings in Huang Tianjun.
…
Time passed day by day, and in May, the prospecting team finally returned and brought back hundreds of carts of ore.
In the next two months, another two hundred cars were shipped back.
In July, Wu Qi attacked Wucheng, but failed. His main siege force encountered mines buried under the city wall and suffered heavy losses.
In mid-July, Wu Qi attacked the city again, but still failed, and the situation was deadlocked. At that time, the Feng and Chen families allied forces to seize Shanglin County by force, and Wu Qi was forced to withdraw.
As for the gap created by Zhao Cheng, although it has not been repaired, it is indeed because it is facing Qingzhou and there are mountains on both sides. The army can hardly go around, so Wu Qi can only attack by force.
It's September.
After Zhao Cheng returned to Huang Tiandao, Huang Tiandao began to gradually hand over various affairs to Zhao Cheng. By June, he was completely invisible and rarely saw each other.
There are rumors from the outside world that Taoist Huang Tian is refining a golden elixir to extend life.
Regarding this matter, the heroes who got the news were not surprised, because it was not a secret that Taoist Huang Tian was backlashed by Qi.
Otherwise, the Thirteenth Route Allied Forces might not dare to come.
Even if a resident golden immortal has the imperial edict of the imperial court and a large amount of Qi suppression, his destructive power is still very terrifying.
In fact, according to logic, the best way in this situation is to ignore Taoist Huang Tian and wait until he dies of illness. That is the right way.
It's a pity that the uncle is eager to make meritorious deeds, but he can't do this.
However, this is normal. A Taoist Huang Tian who is about to die can't kill many people even if he fights to the death, let alone hurt his uncle.
It is certainly not a loss if you exchange the lives of others for your own merit.
In mid-September, Zhao Cheng came to Taoist Huang Tian's retreat room.
At this moment, in the wide confined space made of lead, Taoist Huang Tian was as skinny as a skeleton, and his whole person did not have much energy left.
In the center of the space, at this moment, there is a huge black smooth sphere. The outside of this sphere is made of fine iron that has been tempered for thousands of times. The middle layer is made of a large amount of lead, and the innermost layer is filled with a large amount of highly concentrated uranium.
"Zhao Cheng, this is the last thing I can do."
"The future is entrusted to you..."
Taoist Huang Tian touched the world-destroying divine thunder, or nuclear weapon, in his hand, feeling the earth-shattering destructive power inside, and whispered.
"Such a thunder technique is too terrifying. It is simply created to destroy the common people. It should not appear in this world..."
The backlash of Qi hurt Taoist Huang Tian's spirit, but the radiation of high-concentration uranium hurt Taoist Huang Tian's body.
If it were in the void, this radiation would be nothing, but on the earth, the body is imprisoned by the earth, and even the Golden Immortal cannot change its own genes with magical powers.
"Just go ahead, I will take action at the last moment!"
For a long time, Taoist Huang Tian slowly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was no compassion for the common people in his eyes, but only coldness.
On the road to fighting for the dragon, if he fails, he will die. At this critical moment, how can he be allowed to pity the common people? !
…
In October, the allied forces of the thirteen princes arrived in Qingzhou, and a great battle officially began.
There are only two chapters today.
