Chapter 1324 Old Dream

While talking, Sun Yuantai took out a gold medal from his sleeve, stood upright, walked to Cao Zheng, and handed it to Cao Zheng.

In fact, he didn't know much about Cao Zheng. He only knew that he was a young talent with some skills. However, the emperor who was far away in the capital of the gods admired this man very much and said that he could do the most difficult and dangerous things. Leave everything to this person.

No one knows how much personal revenge Liu Guangzheng meant here, but one thing is that under normal circumstances, Cao Zheng is indeed capable of getting things done.

But there was one thing that Liu Guangzheng didn't expect, and that was that the world-dominating tycoon he met last week would sometimes have thoughts of surrender.

From the beginning to the end, he never really saw Cao Zheng clearly. In his previous life, he only saw Cao Zheng's ambition and thunderous methods...

After Cao Zheng took the order and left, Sun Yuantai closed his eyes tiredly.

These days, he has been coordinating the overall situation, and there are all kinds of things involved. It would be fine if he was still young. Now that he is old, although his body is still strong, after all, it is not as good as when he was young.

As for marching and fighting, this is not his first time. When he was young, he was first a scholar and then a military general. It can be said that he was both civil and military.

But later, he discovered that the imperial court valued literature over military affairs, and wanted to bring order to the chaos and create a peaceful and prosperous era. It was useless to be a military general. Only by becoming a civil servant and entering the central government could one truly influence the decisions that affected the world.

And in this world, as soon as it enters the court situation, no matter whether it is civil or military, it will never be spotless.

After decades of ups and downs in officialdom, he was tired and disheartened. Even if he stood at the apex of power, he would never be able to realize his vision when he was young. At that time, he was at the peak of his power. The enemy in the court pursued and beat him fiercely, so he simply took the opportunity to retreat and save himself.

As for saying that he retreated and his opponent killed him, as long as the opponent was not a fool, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.

Because there are not many people in this world who can be high-ranking officials until they die, and there will always be a time when they retire. If everyone kills all their previous opponents, then they have crossed the bottom line, and there will be no place for them to die in the future. light.

Even the so-called hostility was partly due to the power group behind him, and partly to show off to the emperor.

As an emperor, if all his ministers are united, it is undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.

Lone Yin cannot grow and Lone Yang cannot grow. Only when it is divided into two and mutually reinforcing each other can it last forever, and the emperor is the golden dividing line that reconciles Yin and Yang.

Just like that, sitting on the chair, Sun Yuantai fell asleep without knowing it, and even entered a dream.

In the dream, he returned to the time when he first led the army. It was at the border. At that time, barbarians repeatedly invaded the border. He was in the tent, with this light, flicking his sword and listening to the whistling of the wind outside.

At that time, I was filled with passion and innocence. I was not afraid of life or death. I just wanted to eliminate the troubles of barbarians and make the world peaceful and peaceful.

The frontier is very bitter. Not only is there a lack of water, but it is also very cold. The cold wind in the middle of the night is enough to freeze people to death.

But at that time, my heart was warm.

But gradually, the armor on his body was replaced by embroidered light fur, leather and satin. Where he was, even in the cold winter, there was a burning stove, like a warm spring.

Only my own heart has gradually become colder and hardened. I have learned to make choices, to be ruthless, to deceive superiors and deceive others, to be thick-faced and evil-hearted...

Even though I told myself time and time again that I was doing this in order to gain real power and change this crumbling dynasty, but as the timeline continued to lengthen, and when weighing the pros and cons became my instinct, unknowingly, I have also lost the original courage to change everything.

"It turns out I slept for so long..."

In a trance, Sun Yuantai's young self spoke to him, as if he saw his old self.

"If I don't wake up, I won't wake up. I took the initiative to dirty my hands and my heart, thinking that I would do what I wanted to do when I was ready. But when I stood at the peak of the minister, I found that everything There is still a limit to what can be done, and there are many things that even the emperor cannot do at all. "

"Of course, that was what I thought before. If I can't do it, it's just because I don't have enough ability!"

"Now I have met a wise king, no, a holy king. Even the founder of Da Cang is definitely not as good as the other person. Although the current majesty is still very young, he has given this world, such as A new origin is something I couldn’t imagine in the past.”

"It's a pity that I'm old and about to die. I won't be able to assist His Majesty for much longer. If I could have met His Majesty at that time, it would have been a different story..."

In the dream, Sun Yuantai was chattering a little, not like his usual self at all.

On weekdays, he actually doesn't talk much and is cautious in his words and actions.

But at this moment, he seemed to be about to pour out all the depression he had suffered for decades.

As for his young self, he just listened quietly until Sun Yuantai had nothing to say. Then he suddenly smiled and asked: "You are old, can you still dance with a sword?!"

While speaking, Sun Yuantai in his youth had already thrown the sword in his hand to his older self.

"Of course!"

While he was talking, Sun Yuantai had already started dancing, and his arms were full of murderous intent.

While dancing, he was also humming: "The youth's ambition has turned into white hair, and the hatred of years of ups and downs is hard to eliminate. If you allow me to be ambitious, one day the northern barbarians will reach the capital of the gods..."

But in the blink of an eye, the originally warm tent suddenly collapsed, and the strong wind tore the tent apart. In the dark night, the fire that dyed the sky red, the drums of war, the collision of weapons, and the shouting and fighting sounds were replaced.

"Kill!"

"Catch Sun the thief alive and you will be promoted three levels, kill Sun the thief and you will be promoted two levels..."

"Kill!"

A series of roars came.

Sun Yuantai looked over and saw a pair of cavalrymen rushing out of the fire, with golden weapons and iron horses, rushing straight towards him.

Looking again, the surrounding environment actually went from Beiman to Tianjue Pass, but now the Tianjue Pass was on fire, as if it had turned into a huge torch, and the originally majestic city walls had also become a pair of ruins.

And in the farther place, there was a deep darkness that even the fire could not pierce. In a trance, there was a huge figure, as tall as the sky and the earth.

Just as Sun Yuantai looked over, a palm that was as high as the sky also grabbed him, as if to crush him to pieces.

…

In the study, Sun Yuantai woke up.

“Is it because of too many thoughts that the external evil invaded?!”

After a long silence, Sun Yuantai murmured.

He knew that thinking too much would lead to more dreams.

But at this time, having such a dream was undoubtedly a big ominous sign.

"My arrangement, from the current point of view, is flawless. There is a saying that 30% is destiny and 70% is harmony. I have done my best as far as a person can do. Even if someone else comes, it is impossible to do better..."

While murmuring, Sun Yuantai still felt uneasy.

...

On the other side, Cao Zheng did not delay and immediately took the gold medal to mobilize troops.

Among the 100,000 troops, 30,000 were brought by him, and the other 70,000 were made up of troops from various families.

Of course, he chose those who were familiar with him or those he had seen.

To be honest, Cao Zheng felt that Sun Yuantai was a little too cautious about his idea. Setting up a camp at this time was a temporary idea. With such excessive thinking, even if Sun Yuantai did not die in the war, he would not live for many years.

Zhishen did not live long.

This matter has been no exception from ancient times to the present.

Cao Zheng's ability is beyond doubt. From selecting the troops to preparing for departure, it only took Cao Zheng one morning to complete everything. If it were someone with less ability, I'm afraid that he might not be able to arrange everything by noon, let alone the next day.

By the afternoon, Cao Zheng had already arrived at the destination and started to set up camp.
