Cao Chongzhi lives in a military camp outside the city. While recording what he saw, he is paying attention to the situation of Taixi's lockdown.

But he never stepped into the lockdown of Taixi again.

It was not until the Taixi lockdown was thick smoke and the flames soared into the sky, dyeing the sky with flames, that he left the barracks, stood on the hills outside the barracks, and looked down at the Taixi lockdowns.

Under the firelight, the sky has a different kind of beauty. Looking at it makes people excited and want to recite a few poems.

The "literati and poets" in the Roman military camp stood with Cao Chongzhi, admiring this beauty and sang the great achievements of Emperor Caracala with gorgeous words.

By the way, he mocked the incompetence of the Rest Empire at this moment.

The education of aristocraticism in Rome included an eloquence, and politicians also paid attention to eloquence, logical, smooth and gorgeous words. Anyone who can be with the emperor was good at this.

I just don’t know if their gorgeous words contain the powerless cry of the residents in the city at the same time.

Seeing their faces flushed as if they were drinking a bucket of wine in one breath, Cao Chongzhi lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling that there was a high probability that there would be no one.

In the world, which winner needs to care about the dignity and pain of the loser?

The dignity and pain of the loser, everything, is just the afterglow of the winner enjoying victory.

This world is far from civilization to the point where the winner needs mercy on the losers.

So Cao Chongzhi knew that after this fire, the world would forget everything, and that tragic Taixifeng would only exist in his own records.

So Cao Chongzhi suddenly felt that he had a mission on his shoulders.

If, if, even the records of one's own records do not record the tragic situation of those people, then the blood and tears of those people will never be known to future generations.

Later generations will think that this world is so beautiful. Wars are only about siege cities, land and heroes, and only during conversation and laughter, and there are no soldiers' broken limbs and broken arms and the blood and tears of ordinary people!

This war is too gentle, right?

In addition, Cao Chongzhi felt that the things he recorded were of no use and would be of no use.

But if one day the world becomes civilized, gentle, fair and just, the blood and tears of these people he recorded may make people at that time sigh and accuse the barbarity and blood of the old world.

In this way, this record makes sense.

Cao Chongzhi believed this.

The robbery ended? The valuable ones in Taixifeng were robbed and all those who could be taken away were destroyed.

Residential houses, official buildings? Historic sites? All were destroyed.

The mark of civilization was swept away? Even the city walls of Taixifeng were destroyed by the Roman army using war equipment that the resting men themselves did not take away in the city, and were completely demolished.

Then a fire ignited the entire Taixifeng.

Watching Taixifeng turn into ashes in the blazing flames, Emperor Karakara opened his arms? He enthusiastically praised his achievements with gorgeous rhetoric and upset tone.

He poured out the cultural abilities he had gathered from his childhood education in one breath? He sang the beauty of this moment with the most gorgeous and magnificent words he could think of!

He never felt that he was so great as he was now!

The ruins of the enemy country are his monument!

Standing beside Karakara, Cao Chongzhi felt an indescribable emotion flowing in his heart.

Karakara feels supreme pleasure? She feels that her desires and vanity are greatly satisfied.

Of course? He did not forget Cao Chongzhi.

He rewarded Cao Chongzhi with one tenth of the treasure that his personal soldiers seized for him - a huge amount of wealth that Cao Chongzhi could not imagine.

This is not only a reward for Cao Chong's success, but also Karakala's gratitude for Cao Chong's great contribution to him killing the traitor.

Cao Chongzhi felt very exciting.

He thought that if this gold, silver and treasure that could be filled with fifty trucks were placed in front of his mother who was in charge of money, she would definitely make her scream? Then she fainted and unconscious.

Relatively? If these treasures were placed in front of his father who was in charge of money, he would definitely be able to cover his chest with his hands, take a few steps back and hold the wall, panting, and not falling down.

Anyway, Cao Chongzhi felt that he was so sad and angry, and his painful emotions could be affected by these dazzling treasures? This shows that these treasures can definitely destroy a normal person's normal thinking.

Faced with these wealth? Cao Chongzhi suddenly felt that his cultivation level was not yet good.

If Karakala rewarded this for making Cao Chongzhi praise him? Cao Chongzhi felt that he would be happy to do it.

Vulgar? Despicable, shameless!

Cao Chongzhi, Cao Chongzhi! You are degenerate! You are degenerate! Are these goods you deserve?

Are these dirty property covered with blood and tears of the people? Should you accept it?

Do you deserve the education you have received?

Have you forgotten the grief and anger and pain in your heart?

Have you forgotten your determination to accuse the Romans of atrocities on behalf of the Texifon people?

Cao Chongzhi rebuked himself loudly in his heart.

Then he smiled and accepted the gift with a gratitude.

There is no way, Karakara gives too much.

Complaints are complaints, and gifts are gifts. These are two different things and cannot be confused.

To describe it in a sentence that is often said in the Taixue School - [should be viewed dialectically].

Not only that, Karakala also rewarded Cao Chongzhi with three young and beautiful resting women who had looted.

"These three are all noble women, young and beautiful, without a marriage. You have been by my side for a long time. I know that there is no woman to take care of you, which is very inconvenient for you.

Of course, you need to ask your father what he means when you get a few women to serve you, so you don’t need to ask your father anymore. These noble women are worthy of your identity, right?"

Karakala is very grateful to Wei Guojuncai, who saved his life in times of crisis.

He loves wealth so much and needs wealth to realize his ambitions. He is also very envious of the three fairy-looking noble women.

Despite this, he was willing to give out one-tenth of his huge wealth and these three beauties to thank Cao Chongzhi.

Thank him for saving his life and giving himself such a moment of glory.

Without Cao Chongzhi's protection, he didn't know if he could escape the assassination of the damn traitor and further kill Macrinus, fully grasping the real power of the Imperial Guards.

Emperor Karakala was very happy and wanted to give Cao Chongzhi a lot.

Then he told Cao Chongzhi that he was going to return to the city of Rome, and to show off his achievements in front of all Roman citizens, so that all Romans knew that their emperor was so glorious and good at fighting.

In this way, he can truly establish his prestige and based on this, he starts to implement his plans.

plan?

Cao Chongzhi didn't know that Karakara had plans.

“Yes, my plan.”

Karakala blinked at Cao Chongzhi: "I envy your emperor who can let the people of the whole country pay taxes directly to him. I decided to learn from him and use all means to become him. I also want everyone in the whole country to pay taxes directly to me!"

Karakala smiled and said such words, but Cao Chongzhi didn't think he was joking.

He really intends to do this.

But, my noble Lord Karakara.

Do you know the emperor I am loyal to... No, now it is His Majesty the Supreme Emperor. Do you know what he did before he accomplished such a great cause?

Do you know how many people he killed and fought and how many years it took to accomplish such a great cause?

Do you want to learn from him?

Do you want to be him?

Come really?

Karakara's ambition immediately made Cao Chongzhi feel that the burning Taixi lockdown could not attract his attention so much.

This guy actually wants to be the second Guo Peng!

So what is his first step?

Will we start a war with the Senate in the city of Rome, seize all the power of the Senate, and then go to war with the military leaders of the whole country?

Can he really do it?

Cao Chongzhi suddenly felt that staying by this guy was an extremely dangerous thing, and what he was about to do might be very surprising.

And whether he can move towards Guo Peng's position in this process or be killed soon... Cao Chongzhi felt that the latter was more likely.

If he stopped here and became an authoritarian dictator, he might be able to maintain his status and honor. If he wanted to seize the interests of the nobles and military leaders, he would be going to war with the entire Rome, and his reliance was a victory and an imperial guard.

Cao Chongzhi now seriously doubted that Caracala had not figured out his source of power and what his ruling foundation was. He was even a little worried about his future and the commercial interests of the Wei Empire in the Roman Empire.

The Maritime Silk Road that has finally been opened must not be broken because of this guy's random actions.

What the Wei Empire needed was a guy who could be an emperor harmoniously, not a lunatic.

The fire of Tessifon seems to be Karakara's desire for power. This crazy desire for power will destroy anyone who dares to stop him until he himself is burned to death.

Cao Chongzhi began to think about his retreat.

Guo Peng and Guo Chengzhi are still walking on the way west, heading west, crossing the Hexi Corridor, passing through Yumen Pass, and heading towards the vast Western Regions.

The Western Regions Dachi Road began planning and laying it since the fourth year of Yande when it returned to the Western Regions, and took ten years to finally be successfully built.

From the west of Yumen Pass, he pointed straight to the western Protectorate of Zhenxi on the western front of the empire, crossing a thousand miles away, connecting the two ends of the empire together.

Walking on this great road, you have already entered the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate.
