On the other side, Cao Zheng at this time, with 30,000 horses and horses, traveled more than 50 miles in a light car, and did not camp in the same place until it was dusk.

On a hill, Cao Zheng took a few cronies to look into the distance at this moment, looking in the direction of the battlefield of the Heavenly Absolute Pass, and he was in a daze.

"Lord, now that it's almost time to win the Heavenly Absolute Pass and reward meritorious deeds, why do you want to retreat bravely at this time?!"

"Leaving at this time, of course, there can still be some credit, but it is only a few points."

Behind Cao Zheng, most of the strategists couldn't figure it out, so they stepped forward to ask for advice.

"Yuanwang, you finally can't help it, I thought that if you endure until noon at most, you can't help but ask me, I didn't expect to be able to endure until this time."

Cao Zheng laughed when he heard this.

"I don't hide it from you, in fact, my father is not sick at all, and the fact that my father is seriously ill is made up by me, so that I don't leave at this time and cause people to think too much."

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they didn't know why Cao Zheng was here.

"There are three reasons for this retreat."

"First, my reputation is not bad, even if I get the reward of the imperial court, it is just the icing on the cake, now I am in Qingzhou, no matter how much the reward is, it is impossible to seal a state to me, on the contrary, if I get the reward of the imperial court, the benefits are not much, and it will make Yuan Chu and Huo Zicheng jealous, it is better to retreat bravely from the rapids, and give people a feeling that I am not lucky, and when the time comes, although they will still be jealous of me, but it is impossible to regard me as a mortal enemy, and even, if these two people are fighting each other, they will think of winning me over."

"Don't you hear it, don't come out in everything, in this world, the situation is unclear, at this time, it is really inappropriate to send yourself to the forefront."

"Second, I lost a lot of merit because of filial piety, if I was squeezed out by Yuan Chu Huo Zicheng in the future, when the time comes, people in the world will have pity for me because of this, and I feel more about my pure filial piety, for the people of the world, pure filial piety is better than bravery, if I continue to compete with Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu, I can't win much of them, if I don't fight at all, I will exchange for a reputation of pure filial piety."

"Don't you hear that there was a holy emperor in ancient times, and he won the world because of filial piety?!"

"Of course, this is a fabrication by later generations, but there are many people who know about it, and the fake is also true."

"As for the three ......"

"Three is a feeling, a very strange feeling, when Zhao thief took Wucheng, the sky was full of stars and fire, and it could be said that it was the time to occupy the sky, but now, in the face of our coalition forces, although the dispatch is orderly, it can be described as a famous general, but in the time, it does not show the slightest advantage."

"I asked the Taoist, and the Taoist said that once the imperial court was powerless in the face of the Yellow Sky, it was because the ambitions of the world were not aligned and they were not in the imperial court, but now, the princes are united, it can be said that they are pouring out all the strength of the world, and the natural destiny is useless, but I always feel that things will not be so simple."

"I asked again and again, and the Taoist said that if the Mandate of Heaven is heavy, it is indeed possible to come to the Heavens, but now, Zhao Thief has Wu Cheng as a way out, and it is impossible to fall into a situation of ten deaths, and it is impossible for the Mandate of Heaven to bottom out, so I don't have to worry."

"But as you all know, I'm the most suspicious, and the more Taoists say that, the more I'm not at ease."

"The miracle of Zhao Thief when he took Wucheng, Huo Zicheng and Yuan Chu and others will not know it, but they believe in the words of Taoists."

"After all, they didn't plan to kill all the Zhao thieves, and with Wu Cheng as a retreat, it was impossible to kill them all."

"From beginning to end, the purpose of the coalition is just to kill the Huang Tiandao people, if the heavens are lost, the Huang Tiandao people will definitely die from the backlash, this is the greatest credit, even if the Huang Tiandao people jump over the wall in a hurry, such a serious injury, and there is a number of imperial court qi to suppress it, how many people can the Huang Tiandao people kill?!"

"Even if it's a few hundred or thousands, it's worth it."

Speaking of this, Cao Zheng's words were indifferent.

In this world, human life is the least valuable, and if you can't treat human life as a number, you can't achieve hegemony.

"Even, for everyone, it's a good thing that Zhao Thief is alive."

"Zhao thief does not die, in a few years, you can use this as a name, continue to beg for thieves, continue to make meritorious contributions, this will certainly damage the court, but it will benefit the world, after all, since the Yellow Sky, heroes have risen together, and today's world is no longer the world of the sky."

"As for the Zhao thief, the Southern Wilderness is bitter and cold, the prosperity of any state is more than twice that of the Southern Wilderness, even if it can occupy the Southern Wilderness and continue to develop, but other states and counties are also developing, just say that the land of Yangzhou, the grain it produces in a year, is comparable to five times that of the Southern Wilderness, and the land of Qingzhou, the iron ore smelted in a year, is 20 times that of the Southern Wilderness, once it enters the Southern Wilderness, it is a trapped dragon, and it is difficult to achieve climate ......."

When Cao Zheng was talking, he looked at the stars in the sky, the weather was very good today, the stars were bright, and it could be described as a brilliant star.

After Cao Zheng finished speaking, he was silent for a while before he said: "The combination of various factors prompted me to make such a decision. ”

"Fighting for merit, you may not be a real hero, but you can retreat bravely, that is a real hero!"

"I'm not a hero yet, but I know what a hero is like, in fact, in the face of great achievements, I am also reluctant, but I must give up."

And these words, in the eyes of everyone, are a little deafening, many people know this kind of thing, but if you really want to do it, it is so difficult.

After all, what Cao Zheng said was only half of it, or one side of the matter, he only said the benefits of taking a step back, but he didn't say that if he didn't retreat, what would he gain.

……

Outside the Absolute Heaven Pass, there is a high ground, which is about fifty miles away from the battlefield, and at this moment, or a long time ago, there are many Taoists gathered here.

In addition, a little less inheritance, thirteen evil ways, seventeen side doors, and some famous loose cultivators, strange twilight old ghosts, evil cloud masters, Maya old monks, ......these people who founded the sect in the people, and were hunted down by the imperial court on weekdays, also came here to witness the last glory of the only golden immortal in the world for 10,000 years.

Only the Taoist knows the Taoist best, and if the heavens are lost, it is the death period of the Yellow Heaven Daoist, even if the Taoist Buddha comes into the world, it is impossible to save.

In this case, it is impossible for the people of Huang Tiandao to sit silently, and they will definitely rise up to kill and show their last edge.

"The number of days, the number of days, the will of heaven has been difficult to ask since ancient times, the Taoist country on the earth, thousands of catastrophes, a big drama, after all, it will come to an end."

In a pavilion at the highest place, more than a dozen immortals in the world gathered together, and it was Xuan Zhenzi who spoke.
