Chapter 6781: Difference and Fatal

Chapter 6781: Difference and Fatal

How to say it, the situation was completely beyond Zhu Tao and Peng Hong's understanding. As two experienced people who had seen everything in the battle, and thought that nothing was a big deal in the universe, they were now a little confused. What the hell was going on? It seemed like they had never seen this before.

Zhu Tao's time seemed to have stopped. After Xu Yuan gave the answer, he didn't know how to explain and describe it using his own experience. After a long while, perhaps because his brain was comparing his past seventy years of experience, he couldn't find the answer. After starting to accept the new knowledge, Zhu Tao raised his hand and grabbed his son with a claw of light.

"Is what Xu Yuan said true?" Zhu Tao felt as if his brain was being churned, and finally realized that he, an old man, seemed to be out of touch with the times. He had seen and experienced everything, but faced with this situation, he couldn't even find a comparison. Zhu Tao decided to ask his son.

After all, Zhu Tao could still tell whether his son was talking nonsense or not, and although he was familiar with Xu Yuan, such a big thing could not be determined by just being familiar with him.

"It's basically what Brother Xu said." Zhu Gai was caught in the air by Zhu Tao's powerful grasping move, with a helpless look on his face. Ever since he reached the fifth level of smelting, and with his father getting old, he has received fewer beatings than today. To be frank, even the soldiers of the Holy Death Riders didn't dare to beat him like this. Oh, even if it was Ardashir, he would still fight back if he couldn't beat him, but now...

After throwing Zhu Gai out, Zhu Tao squatted down, supported his knee with his right elbow, covered his face with his right hand, and fell into deep self-doubt. He didn't understand at all what was going on and why there was such a strange situation of collective slump. He didn't understand, absolutely didn't understand.

At this time, Tian Zhong came with a new batch of veterans. Zhu Tao, who was squatting on the training ground, and Peng Hong, who was caught up in the tide of the times, shouted to Tian Zhong, "Tian Zhong, come here, what's going on? What's going on?"

After quietly listening to the doubts of Zhu Tao, Peng Hong and others, Tian Zhong glanced at Xu Yuan and signaled Xu Yuan to take his younger brothers away first. These guys were a little out of touch with the times, so it would be better for him to explain.

Unlike Xu Yuan, who is actually a whole generation away from Zhu Tao and Peng Hong, Tian Zhong is actually only half a generation away from these old men in their seventies. He has even participated in many wars with this group of people. He can fully understand the thinking of the previous era. Because he himself has considerable command ability and natural architectural ability, he has never left the battlefield and has sufficient understanding of the current social logic.

Considering that Tian Zhong has a deep enough relationship with Cao Zhen, a direct descendant of the Cao family, and has a large number of veteran soldiers with whom he has life-and-death friendship, Tian Zhong also has sufficient understanding of the upper and lower classes, so he can understand Zhu Tao and others, as well as Xu Yuan and others, and also the Cao family.

This is also why Tian Zhong was able to give a direct solution to Cao Ang before, because he really knew what the veterans needed and what the Cao family needed.

"You also chose to give up?" Zhu Tao asked Tian Zhong directly.

"Now that we can gather everyone together and put aside their grudges, I have put in a lot of effort. Maybe many of Cao's young and strong men will scold me." Tian Zhong said with a smile, "Although it is true that the brothers are lying down, the root of the problem is not the brothers, but Cao."

"Stop, I know this doesn't fit your concept, but times have changed." Tian Zhong sighed and said, "I just applied with General Pingxi, you can come with me, let's go get the weapons and equipment first, although they are standard equipment, they should be enough for you brothers. You have heard a lot in recent years, but some things can only be understood when you see them."

Zhu Tao and others were confused, but they did not speak any more. In terms of military quality, this generation of veterans completely surpassed the current veterans in some aspects.

After all, the veterans of this era, represented by Xu Yuan, may not have a stance, but they will have their own consciousness and judgment, while the veterans of the previous era, represented by Zhu Tao, have neither a stance nor their own consciousness and judgment. Their positioning is like a sharp knife.

Soon, Tian Zhong brought three or four hundred veterans from the previous era to the treasury.

"Although it's just standard equipment, it's also a new batch of top-notch equipment." Tian Zhong showed the talisman to the old soldier guarding the warehouse. After the other party checked, he led a group of old soldiers into the warehouse that was half underground. Then Zhu Tao and others saw the weapons and equipment that they had never enjoyed when they were in the Central Guards. The thick armor, the five-foot-long spears, the tough and shining melee swords and broadswords, and they were obviously specially made crossbow arrows, etc.

"Just choose the appropriate equipment. All the weapons here are open to you." Tian Zhong said to Zhu Tao and others, and then the group of people did not hesitate and quickly started arming.

As top veterans, they know exactly what they should use to unleash the most extreme combat effectiveness. The experience gained from surviving hundreds of battles allows them to know how to use a weapon to unleash its extreme attributes just by touching it.

"I can really beat ten non-single-target miracle soldiers now." Zhu Tao said very seriously after changing his equipment. The difference between having armor and not having armor, fully equipped and not fully equipped is very big for these people. Now Zhu Tao is confident that he can kill his previous self with minor injuries.

"You should have noticed that the armor you are using is all small." Tian Zhong explained as he led the group out. "And when we went to the military camp before, you should have noticed that most of the soldiers are taller and stronger than you."

Peng Hong nodded. Why did he, who had reached the seventh level of smelting, feel only evenly matched with Xu Yuan, who had reached the sixth level of smelting? Wasn't it because Xu Yuan's physical fitness was too strong?
With a height of 1.75 meters, Peng Hong was considered tall back then, but facing Xu Yuan, he was really a head shorter. Moreover, Peng Hong knew at a glance that Xu Yuan's muscular body was not just for show but a powerful force that could kill someone on the spot.

"This is one of the benefits of this era. The former Central Guards were carefully selected from all over the country, and their average height was only about the same as Brother Peng's." Tian Zhong said with a somewhat nostalgic tone, "But in this era, most of the elite soldiers can grow to a level higher than Brother Peng's."

"Xu Yuan, he wasn't this tall before." Tian Zhong said with some reminiscence, "Although he is considered to be gifted, he is only about the same as Brother Peng. Later, he got the muscle-building and bone-strengthening needles, and Xu Yuan was able to grow to his current level."

"Muscle-building and bone-strengthening injections?" Zhu Tao asked with interest. In nature, there is no male who is not interested in growing strong and tall.

"Yes, but the key is not in the muscle-building and bone-strengthening injection. This injection only awakens the part that was originally undeveloped. The real difficulty lies in the awakening method." Tian Zhong raised his hand to block the rain from the sky and said with some emotion, "The injection is not expensive, but the food cost is expensive."

"After this injection, it is equivalent to restoring your current body shape to that of a fourteen-year-old. In order to break through the previous development blockade, you can't eat the things you used to eat. You need to eat meat, a lot of meat, the kind of meat that you would eat as a ton-class ox in a few months. During this period, you also need to supplement with large amounts of milk, eggs, various refined grains, fruits, etc." Tian Zhong looked at the rain in the sky and said with some complexity.

"That's how Xu Yuan grew to be 1.9 meters tall." Tian Zhong looked at Zhu Tao and others and said.

Seeing Zhu Tao and the others about to speak, Tian Zhong interrupted them and said, "This method can only be provided by the country. Even Cao Sikong cannot provide such a large number of soldiers with such nourishment. If tens of thousands of people do this once, a large pasture will be eaten up."

"So your idea that Xu Yuan didn't fight hard is not true. Xu Yuan was enjoying the benefits of the Han Dynasty, and then the Han Dynasty assigned Xu Yuan here instead of fighting for Cao Sikong. For most of the elite veterans under Cao Sikong's rule, they were fighting for the Han Dynasty, and in the process of fighting for the Han Dynasty, Cao Sikong appeared and got in their way." Tian Zhong said with some helplessness.

"If Cao Sikong was not the Han family's Sikong, they might have chosen the same thing as you." Tian Zhong turned his head to look at Peng Hong and the others and said, "But if Sikong is the Han family's Sikong, they have no way to deal with it. They promised the Han family who provided these that they would swear to serve the country to the death, but if the object of their sacrifice and hard work is to be rewarded by Lao Cao, no one will be willing to accept it."

The fact that Xu Yuan and others traveled thousands of miles from Kandahar to the Ganges, around the whole of China, to catch up with Liu Bei and fight for the Han Dynasty and for loyalty and righteousness is actually enough to explain a lot of problems. They are really not afraid of sacrifice and are willing to die for their country, but they are very unhappy when the fruits of their death are obtained by people they dislike.

What's even more frustrating is that this guy who looks unpleasant actually represents the Han Dynasty. As for leaving here or something, this involves another deeper logic. Are Xu Yuan and his men Cao's soldiers or Liu Bei's soldiers? And are they fulfilling the development promised by Cao or Liu Bei?

Maybe it was promised to Cao in the early days, but that's how the times developed, and in the end it was basically promised to Liu Bei, and people's hearts finally turned to Liu Bei.

"The oath they kept was an oath to the Han Dynasty, but the result of their expansion was that they fell into the hands of Lao Cao, who they were very unhappy with, and Lao Cao was the Minister of Works of the Han Dynasty." Tian Zhong sighed and said, "In this case, should we kill Lao Cao's entire family?"

Zhu Tao and others frowned. After so many people's comments, they also realized that Lao Cao's behavior was very unpleasant, but for the army, it was not completely unacceptable.

"You're stuck in a range that's acceptable but not worth it, and there's an object that can be used for comparison, and this object continues to prove you're right." Zhu Tao said with a complicated expression. There was nothing they could do about it, even though they more or less understood Xu Yuan and the others.

"But I still cannot accept their behavior." Peng Hong shook his head and said, understanding is understanding, and agreement is agreement, these are two different things.

"But we have been procrastinating for too long, and it has become a collective understanding. The final result is what you have seen. We had no way to overthrow Cao Sikong in a non-violent way before, and if we use violence, we will lack a reason to explain to the Han family, unless we choose the so-called coup, do not explain, and just wait for a response from the Han family, but things have not come to this point." Tian Zhong said with a tangled look on his face. This is the biggest problem.

What Cao Cao did really made the officers and soldiers unhappy, especially when compared with Liu Bei, the damage was even greater. However, Cao Cao's behavior did not cross the line and did not reach the level of military remonstration like the one at Mawei Slope, which was very uncomfortable for everyone.

Because they have crossed the line, just like Zhu Tao said, all the middle and lower classes think so, so just kill the whole family of the other side, it doesn't matter whether they break the boundary or not, they will all die. Before the lower classes are divided vertically, they stick together as a whole, so it is very clear where the power comes from.

Even if the current system remains intact, if all the lower classes are truly dissatisfied, this society will collapse. This is not a problem that can be solved by nuclear deterrence or guns and bullets. The so-called killing can solve all problems, but can you solve that fucking math problem by killing people?
The painful thing about Lao Cao is that the soldiers think that it is not worth it if I work hard for Lao Cao, and if I completely ignore Lao Cao, I will be sorry for the Han Dynasty. After all, this guy is the Sikong of the Han Dynasty. Even if I don't care about Lao Cao, I still have to consider the Han Dynasty.

It was so uncomfortable that the main forces under Cao were hoping to replace someone else so that they could continue to work for the Han Dynasty.

Cao Ang was essentially an object selected under this consciousness.

AI Cao Cao also realized this and chose to withdraw on his own initiative, because as long as he was still here, all the soldiers would no longer trust Cao.

After all, some things are like this. If they are completely rotten, someone will clean up the mess. If they are completely fine, everyone will naturally work together and prosper. Only those things that are okay, but not really, and are rotten, but not completely rotten, are the most uncomfortable.

To make an analogy, the rotten KMT will naturally be cleaned up by someone. In the early days when it was united, it was thriving. Only in the middle period, you could say it was rotten, but it still had some use. But you had to risk your life for that little use, which was really depressing.

This was the situation of Cao's soldiers during that period of time. They hoped that Cao would be completely rotten, and then find a suitable reason to rush forward and slice Cao to death. However, Cao remained in the state of not completely rotten but also unable to get better. It was very helpless.

"We can only give up, we have no choice." Tian Zhong said with a sigh, "The only thing we can do is to organize ourselves to stop Ardashir's Holy Death Knights when they charge over. But if we charge up and fight them, it will be frustrating if we win, and even more frustrating if we lose."

"Although I still think there is a problem, I can only accept this kind of collective event." Zhu Tao said indifferently, "I will rush to the front when the time comes. I can't change the cognition of those young people, but I can still continue what I believe is right."

Zhu Tao actually didn't want to discuss this matter before. Ever since he realized that this was a collective subconscious decision made by the soldiers, he didn't want to discuss it anymore, because anything that can become a universal and popular choice has its own reasons.

In this kind of matter, even if you make different choices and you are very unhappy, it doesn't make any sense. This is purely a sign of changing times. There is nothing much to say. When facing this kind of thing, just choose your own justice. There is no point in blaming others.

"Well, the situation is actually okay this time. Cao Sikong has fallen, and the new General Pingxi is actually quite good. At least we don't feel that it is not worth it to hand over the results we have fought for with our lives to him." Tian Zhong waved his hand and said, indicating that the situation has changed a lot.

"Let Xu Yuan and the others rush with us to attack the Saint Death Riders." Peng Hong said coldly, "We can only accept the collective incident that Zhu Laoliu mentioned. I have nothing to say. This is indeed the disparity of the times, but I cannot accept that there are only a few people with low smelting at a glance. No matter how disparate it is, young people should not bear this death!"

Tian Zhong paused for a moment, stopped, and looked at everyone present. He clearly saw the coldness in these people's eyes. These people had no morals, but these people knew best how they developed.

Without the protection and shelter of the older generation, those present would not have survived to this day. Just let the seventeen-year-old Jiang Guang face an opponent whom he could kill with ease now.

Therefore, after they become strong, they will also try their best to protect the weak ones behind them. After all, if the opponent's sword falls on Peng Hong and others, as long as they can defend well, they may only be injured or even nothing will happen. But if it falls on the younger ones behind them, they will really die.

In the words of Peng Hong and others, I protected you Xu Yuan so that you could grow up and protect the next generation. Now that the younger generation has been thrown away by you, what about the next generation? Will you fight with your life? Even if it's Xiliang, the old ones lead the new ones. How can you let the new recruits directly charge into the elite?

"There are very few first and second level smelting here, but this is not a problem of this generation, but some problems occurred in the middle." Tian Zhong shook his head and said. Compared with the previous question, this question is more fatal, because the previous question can be answered by the differences in the times, but this question is really about whether the older generation is responsible or not, and whether they have morals or not, so Tian Zhong must explain.

This year is coming to an end. I remember saying at the beginning of this year that the book will be finished next year, right? Let me take a look.
