Three emperors and five emperors, Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang.

The Zhou Dynasty, which was based on farming, ritual music, swords and poetry, left a soul imprint and Huayi identity for the first time on the people of the Yanhuang land.

For thousands of years, you have come and gone, and the cycle of chaos has been controlled.

Ministers, nobles, historians, gate lords, scholars. The elite of Chinese costumes who master the pen judge the ruling world and the troubled times, and want to use this to glorify the present generation and warn future generations.

Since it is a judgment, of course, there must be standards.

Standards, or bottom lines, also change in the mix of prosperous and troubled times.

What happened in this land that marked the bottom line being completely broken?

The classical militarist Qin state, which pursued the way of cultivating and fighting the weak people, crippled the Zhao state in the Battle of Changping, and then swept the six kingdoms to unify the world. The Qin army created millions of killings, is it considered to break the bottom line?

The overlord and the king of Han fought for Chu and Han. The scorching yellow land, which had been weakened for hundreds of years, was even worse, so much so that His Majesty the Emperor tried to find a few horses with the same coat color, but failed. The battle between Chu and Han has put the whole world in a difficult situation, is it breaking the bottom line?

After decades of harmony, the Han Dynasty finally recovered from weakness, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became rich. Respect Confucianism alone, open up territory and expand territory, the price is to halve the population of the registered people, did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty break the bottom line?

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the kings fought chaotically and vied with each other to kill people. The Chinese people have dropped to less than 10 million, the improper Sima clan is crazy to show off their wealth, and the apocalyptic scene of the Hu clan has ravaged the north for more than 100 years. Sima Clan dragged the whole world to fall together, didn't it break the bottom line?

In the last years of Li Tang, Huang Chao led the exile army to fight for most of the world, and carried forward the locust-like chaos method of mobile warfare and avoiding reality and attacking falsehood. The crimes recorded in the history books may have elements of discredit, but Huang Chao has indeed dragged all the people of the Shi clan into the abyss of troubled times, so it must be to break the bottom line, right?

Before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the chaotic times when the scholars and doctors of this dynasty liked to criticize and write the most, and the chaos was pickled to a new height, which definitely broke the bottom line.

The age is recent, the literature is numerous, and the scholars of the Great Zhou can almost imagine many details of the troubled times of that Jiazi.

The tragedies and killings of the previous thousands of years were the same as the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and they had a new connotation of the times.

The drunkard once said:

"Woohoo! The chaos of the five generations is extremely large, and it is said that the so-called 'heaven and earth are closed, and the sages are hidden'! At this time, the minister killed his king, and the son killed his father. In the rebellion of the five generations, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the father is not the father, the son is not the son, as for the brothers, the couple, when the people are human, they are all very bad, and the heavenly principles are almost destroyed. ”

In Li Xiang's words, it is: I've seen chaos, but I've never seen such chaos.

In the chaotic times before the Great Monday Unified Universe, it was almost impossible to find the bottom line. There is an endless war between the separatist forces, as well as between the knots within the separatist forces. Looting people's property, bullying women, and burning towns are all pediatrics, and the frequent killing of literati and subordinates, the betrayal of military generals, and the turning of foreign clans are even more poisonous.

At that time, the warring forces did everything they could:

There are those who drive the people to pile up earth and besiege the city, and then pit and kill tens of thousands of people;

There are soldiers who defend the city and run out of food and grass, and in the next few years they use the people in the city as military rations;

There are crazy mountains, digging the Yellow River embankment more than once;

……

When the prosperous era came, the Great Zhou Dynasty had the financial resources to repair the book and build a coffin for the previous dynasty and the subsequent Yijiazi troubled times.

The scholars of the pavilions and the Chongwen Academy gathered together and debated some details all day long. When it came to something, the scholars and doctors standing at the top of the Great Zhou were collectively silent. Several officials jointly signed a petition to His Majesty Taizong, and asked the official family to have an idea first.

The letter was a brief account of a battle.

In that tragic battle in which several knots attacked one knot, the defenders of the city, who were about to run out of supplies, threw the corpses of the sick and undead people out of the city as weapons.

The besieging army was so frightened that they mutinied directly, and retreated dozens of miles before stabilizing their position.

Enraged by the defenders of the city, they were inspired to besiege the city from all sides, looking for seriously ill patients and throwing them into the city.

The defenders of the city soon crumbled and surrendered, but the plague had turned into a plague, and no one accepted it.

The roads around the city were blocked, but the army blocking the junction also had a plague, and several armies began to clean themselves up.

The plague was not stopped, and it poisoned most of the area within a radius of two hundred miles. There must have been survivors in that city, but they never dared to reveal their true identities.

For quite some time, no one dared to get too close to the dead city that was said to have been crossed by Yin soldiers......

Emperor Taizong commented on the recital: According to the facts, it is good to teach future generations to know that it is powerful.

The tragedy related to Emperor Taizu appeared in the official history books in such a grand manner, but the Emperor Taizu who participated in it was still hidden.

If there are any taboos in Da Zhou, then people of different identities and classes have their own answers.

But it is obvious that the kind of madness that uses people as weapons and uses the plague as a killer weapon is definitely a taboo and a bottom line, and the officials and gentry who talk about it are reluctant to even mention it.

Half an hour ago, the final bottom line of the Great Zhou was broken in Deqing County.

At that time, Liu Chengdong looked sluggish and in a trance.

There was another volley outside the city, and more black shadows whistled past, and one of them happened to fly directly above Liu Chengdong.

The shadow flashed from Liu Chengdong's face, the sun was temporarily blocked, and his eyelids twitched twice.

Liu Chengdong came back to his senses from the blank state of his brain, he didn't want to look at what the black shadow was, and he didn't want to listen to the exclamations from the city, which were so frightened that they changed their tone.

Holding on to the last bit of luck, Liu Chengdong swallowed the saliva that blocked his throat, and asked the commander of the Chengnan Battalion who crawled over with a rolling belt, "Fang Lajun, what did you just throw?" ”

His voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was high and low.

The battalion commander couldn't support his body, his hands landed on the ground, and the whole person shrunk into a ball and fell to the ground, his lips trembling, "It's a corpse, it's a mutilated corpse." There are people and animals. Running pus, with maggots crawling on it......"

"It's a corpse infected with the epidemic, and Fang Lajun wants to turn Deqing County into a dead city!"

The battalion commander, who was close to the age of confusion, tore out the last words from his chest, and began to wipe his tears like a child, and soon began to sob.

There was silence, and the air was stagnant.

Liu Chengdong glanced left and right a few times, and found that all the heads and chiefs under his hands were almost carved out of a mold: pale cheeks, bloodless lips, blank eyes, tight eyelids, and trembling throat.

The frequency of the heart's beating is almost at its limit, and I can hear my own heartbeat clearly. The body is involuntarily breathing deeply, but it is very rapid. More air is pressed into the lungs......

The monotonous and harsh murmur engulfed his mind, and Liu Chengdong couldn't think for a long time.

The figure in the field of vision stopped shaking, and the surrounding sounds were picked up by the brain again.

In the opinion of Zhang Yongnian, who was a little heartless, Liu Chengdong, the old village owner, the father-in-law of the village owner, and the commander of the Xiang army, went from panicking to regaining composure, and it took less than five breaths.

Liu Chengdong found himself thirsty, but he knew very well that this was an illusion, similar to the feeling when he first entered the battlefield more than 20 years ago.

Close your eyes and take a few steady breaths.

Liu Chengdong's face quickly turned from pale to flushed, which was an unhealthy flush. He took a step forward, barely losing his support and falling in front of his men.

The Fangla army under the city was arrayed, and the young and strong people with the army and the landless and hungry retreated to both sides.

At the head of the city, Liu Chengdong's chest rose and fell violently, and his hands and feet finally regained their strength.

Liu Chengdong took the iron-tired hard bow in the hands of his own soldiers, put on a long arrow with a thick thumb, and shot at Fang Tianding, who was wrapped in a scarf.

The arrow flew more than 250 meters, what strength and accuracy are there?

Liu Chengdong is not an archer, the first two shots are more than ten meters apart, the third shot is blocked by the big shield hand next to Fang Tianding, and the fourth to seventh shots are also missed.

When Liu Chengdong had just shot the eighth arrow, Fang Tianding had already put on his helmet. Fang Tian's halberd was held in his hand, and Fang Tianding asked the few big shield players around him to retreat and easily pick up the arrows.

"Fang Tianding, I will die the ancestor of the Fang family every day, and I will die the ancestor of the Fang family every day!"

Liu Chengdong was furious, his strength was unstable, and he didn't dare to use his strength too much. He put down his bow and arrows, picked up the big knife, and angrily scolded Fang Tianding.

Fang Tianding knew that Liu Chengdong at the head of the city was scolding himself, and he whispered in a complicated tone: "Becoming a king is defeated, becoming a king is defeated......"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Tianding boarded the head of Deqing City.
