Datang, Zhengyang Palace.

In the palace of Nuoda, there is only Qin Tian alone.

He stood in the center of the hall with his hands in his hands, his face regained his former confidence and calmness, only a strand of gray hair on his sideburns, telling how much effort he had spent these days.

In front of him, a picture scroll was unfolded -- it was a map of the layout of the Three Kingdoms.

He stared at the scroll quietly, his eyes wandering from time to time, skimming over one strategic point after another, always with a calm expression, as if he was a god who could influence the pattern of the world at a glance.

In fact, he has indeed become a god.

After more than ten years of lying on the salary and tasting courage, more than ten years of exhaustion, finally bore the most fruitful fruit at this moment.

A month ago, when Zao Wou-Ki was defeated and died, and the Great Xia coalition suffered a rout, it was doomed that no one would be an obstacle to his domination of the world.

History is the best judge, and he is making history!

A generation of heroes who traveled far away in the East, but they were always led by the nose by their young selves. After years of forbearance, Qin Tian gradually showed his attachment to power, which made Dongfang Yuan worry about the inheritance of the family's incense, and finally walked towards a road of no return to unite with foreign clans to get involved in the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Tian had seen all this in his eyes for a long time, but he never broke it. He sent all his troops to the Western Regions, creating an atmosphere of internal emptiness, and letting the army traveling from the east drive all the way in, but in the end, he used the hidden power to catch turtles in the urn, and in one fell swoop to remove the biggest tumor of the Tang Dynasty, and firmly held the entire empire in his hands.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty faced the biggest crisis in history: the invasion of the Western Regions to the east.

Of course, this crisis was of his own making. But he was not afraid, but saw it as the only chance to tear apart the deformed regime.

In his opinion, Datang's biggest trouble lies at the east and west ends. With the national strength of the Tang Dynasty at that time, even if it barely blocked the crazy attack of the Hu people, the national strength would be regressed by decades and reduced to the point of being the fish and meat of the Qi State. So he sent Tang An, who was eloquent and eloquent, to borrow an army of 100,000 without much effort, taking advantage of the tradition of "pseudo-benevolence" of the Qi State.

For this weak country, Qin Tian has never taken it seriously. And the moment these 100,000 troops stepped out of the Qi country, they were doomed to the fate of never being able to return to the East.

After reversing the situation of the war in the Western Regions, Qin Tian sent a secret order, leaving the 100,000 troops in the barren loess forever to guard the western gate for the Tang Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Qi State obviously could not accept such a cruel truth. In their opinion, they are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and they are heroes who assist the Qi State to resist the Xia State out of morality, so why should the Tang Dynasty take revenge!

They underestimated Qin Tian's ambition to dominate the world. In order to unite the three broken rivers and mountains into one, he will not talk about any kindness and morality, but will only see endless benefits.

The Qi people wanted to resist, but in the face of the Tang army, whose morale was superior to theirs, thinking that there was no supply or support all the way east, even if the 100,000 people were reluctant, they could only choose to compromise in humiliation.

As a result, Qi lost half of its military strength and was no longer a threat to the Tang Dynasty. And the western part of the Tang Dynasty used the blood of the Tang Dynasty to make up for an iron wall.

As for the Xia Kingdom...... The Eastern Crusade failed, and some tribes began endless conquests and robberies in order to survive, and some tribes began endless conquests and looting, and they were even more tragic than before.

Just in case, Qin Tian planned to send envoys to establish a free trade zone in the Dima region where Xia and Tang met, and gradually assimilate those Hu people who drank blood. Who would want to start a war when they put on beautiful clothes, reap eye-catching riches, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas?

Thinking about the prosperous era of the unity of the three kingdoms in the future, Rao is in his ancient state of mind, and there is still a flush of excitement on his face.

"Sand, sand, sand, sand, sand."

The faint sound of footsteps was especially evident in the empty hall.

Qin Tian raised his head and saw a familiar face. And when he saw this person, he finally smiled and said, "You are finally willing to appear." ”

When the army returned to the DPRK, the whole country celebrated.

Those ordinary people who cheered because of the victory regarded these soldiers who guarded the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty as heroes.

It's a pity that as the biggest hero, Tang An did not appear in the army, much to the disappointment of the courtiers and the people.

After a month, he finally appeared in Qin Tian's field of vision again. It's just that now he is the same as before.

Tang An was dressed in a white shirt, without any expression on his face, like a corpse that had lost its breath of life.

He slowly came to Qin Tian, but he didn't mean to bow down at all, and said indifferently: "Grass people Tang An, see Your Majesty." ”

Qin Tian's brows furrowed without a trace. With his acumen, he immediately perceived the meaning of the word "grass people".

"You're leaving?" Qin Tian asked suspiciously.

Tang An nodded.

Qin Tian couldn't believe his eyes and ears. When the world was tightly held in his hands, he actually wanted to give up the right to make people blush and choose to leave suddenly?

Pointing to the scroll on the ground that spanned more than ten meters with some displeasure, Qin Tian frowned and said, "Do you know what your identity is now?" I tell you - you are the god of war of the entire Tang Dynasty, and you are my henchman! Traveling east to borrow troops and west to defend against the enemy laid an unbreakable foundation for me to be crowned the king of the world in the future. With these two things alone, you are enough to become the person who is above 10,000 people under one person and will be remembered in history for eternity! In the future, I will pacify the western region and conquer the eastern frontier, and I still expect you to immediately raise the prestige of our country. When the world is unified, you will have a great glory. And you actually told me - you want to go? ”

Tang An smiled mockingly and said softly, "Right...... Is it really so fascinating? ”

Qin Tian was stunned and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Tang An sighed: "I said, how much charm does power have, corroding the hearts of emperors one after another? ”

Daring to say such a rebellious thing in front of the emperor was enough to make him die a thousand or ten thousand times. However, Tang An now has a special identity, even though Qin Tian is unhappy in his heart, he still suppresses his temperament and explains: "I have never been ashamed of my ideals. You say that power makes people corrupt, but why do the emperors of all dynasties want to work hard to dominate the world? Are people who can be emperors stupid? Let me tell you why—"

Qin Tian pointed to the outside of the hall, as if pointing to the whole world: "From the moment a person is born, a process is constantly repeated: conquering, and being conquered. We are all trying to change the world and envision a better life. But how did the peaceful and peaceful world come about? There is only war. The so-called breaking and then standing is the truth that our ancestors told us! Only by conquering the enemy with a sword and sword can a new order be established! And a unified order will guide us to continue to develop and move forward! ”

This kind of hypocritical truth made Tang An a little tired. There was no impressed eagerness in his eyes, only an almost deathly indifference.
