Chapter 648 Butterfly Disaster
"Your Majesty, Sirius King City is broken."

"The southern line was opened, and the [-] troops at the South Gate couldn't resist. Qi and Liang's advance speed was too fast. It would take five days to support the North Gate, and three days to the East Gate. According to this speed, three days Nei Qiliang will be able to hit Fengting City, and Jiang Qingyi has started to attack again on the side of the western defense line, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty. This is today's No. 17 letter of urgent remonstrance from the Sen Luo Dao Palace Association!"

"His Majesty"

"His Majesty!!"

There seemed to be countless voices in my ears, lingering, buzzing and circling, my mind was in a mess, and finally there was a hurried report, and all other noisy voices stopped abruptly
A Senluodao scout covered in blood rushed to the main hall, and finally threw himself down in front of the hall. Before that, he rode wildly on the road and never stopped. He participated in the war on the southern front, starting from the landing of the Qiliang ship, and then After breaking through the Sirius City, and now, exhausted, he rushed to the main hall, but the string that was tense in his mind could not be loosened.

The scout's whole body was trembling, he raised his head, his red eyes were bloodshot, full of despair, he paused every word, and gritted his teeth.

"Sirius King, Ning Fengxiu died in battle."

"Meng Qi, Zhang Wenyuan, there are a total of three thousand wolf riders under the command of Sirius City, and none of them survived."

"The entire palace was destroyed, the Sirius King City refused to die and guarded, and the entire city was slaughtered. Qiliangkeng killed 20 people."

The scout, who was nearly forty years old, said with a tearing pain in his throat, "The people over there said that if they stick to it, they will slaughter the city one by one until they reach Luoyang."

Dead silence.

The hall was filled with dead silence.

The bloody scout was carried down.

Cao Zhixuan sat quietly on the throne, the armrests of his hands were empty. Once upon a time, on the left was Li Qing, the great vassal king of Xiguan, and on the right was the young Sirius Ning Fengxiu. Plan to destroy the Three Kingdoms in Jiangbei, Zongheng holds Xuanhuang in his arms and guards the sword of the Great Wei.
But now?
I turned out to be alone, alone.

His expression was neither sad nor happy, and he retreated with a soft chanting, leaving the main hall, his thoughts drifted along the way, passing Fengxian Palace, he saw the woman in purple sitting in a daze in the peony pavilion, and he was standing in a place she couldn't see place, quietly watched for a while.

Li Yu watched the peonies bloom and fade, and walked with her for so many years.

Cao Zhixuan knew how far his Great Wei had come.

Along the way, every step is too difficult, one wrong step, one wrong step.

He closed his eyes, and thought of the sky and heavy rain at the top of Fengting City, the scene of this woman crying hoarsely at him, the man in white robe with a hole in his chest, and the big red moon in Luoyang City
Which step is wrong?
Until now suddenly looking back.

A person who cherishes his feathers so much, finally plucked out his own wings.

Li Qing is dead.

Zong Heng is dead.

Ning Fengxiu is dead.

who is the next?
Who else could it be?

Yi Xiao of Qiliang had already spoken out that the massacre of one city after another would not stop until Luoyang.

Who else!

Cao Zhixuan clenched his hands that were tucked into his sleeves, stopped looking at the purple-clothed woman in Fengxian Palace, turned around and left, everyone he met on the road, maids, servants, attendants, all lowered their heads, their pupils were empty, Shen Shen, these people have given up?

They think that Wei is dead?
What do these people know? With a territory of [-] miles, millions of good generals and elite soldiers, and countless horses, how could they not match those weak southerners?
Suddenly stood still.

Cao Zhixuan took a deep breath, pushed the door open and entered.

The lights of the Senluo Dao Hall were dim and flickering.

"Let the Zhong family withdraw from the defense line against the west, Luoyang, Zhong's family, Beiguan, Dongguan, four routes southward, and the southern line arrives outside Fengting City."

"What about the Western Front?"

"Let go of Beiguan, let the barbarians plunder south."

"Your Majesty, this is luring wolves into the house."

"I have no choice." Cao Zhixuan looked directly into the eyes of the Zipao National Master, and said word by word: "That Duan, who was trained by Sen Luodao for four years, has also been placed on the Juxi defense line for a year. Can't kill Jiang Qingyi. What's the point of staying there?"

Xuan Shangyu looked at his nose, nose and heart, leaned over his desk and read the paper, and said softly: "It's not that he can't kill, but that he can't find a chance. Duan Wuyin didn't participate in the ambush in the Daji Mountains for some reason, and refused to fight from the western defense line." In one year, the more people die, the stronger his cultivation will be, if we can resist, he may not be able to become a weapon against Yi Xiao in the future."

"Your Majesty, Yan Xiaoqi has lived in the royal court of Mobei for four years. If this powerful iron cavalry of the royal court easily plunders into the territory of Beiguan, even if it can temporarily fight against Xiguan, it will become the third horse to bite the Northern Wei Dynasty in the future. Wolf." Xuan Shangyu raised his head and said seriously: "The king of Mobei is old, but the next successor is ambitious. The obedience of the barbarians on the grassland to the Northern Wei Dynasty is only temporary. It is not easy to live on the frozen soil that day. They yearn for rich land and wealth, and if they are determined to take a share, the Northern Wei Dynasty will no longer be able to check and balance."

long silence.

Cao Zhixuan's voice was calm: "I have made up my mind."

"Okay." Xuan Shangyu smiled, lowered his head, looked at the long scroll on the case again, and did not speak.

There was a long silence between the two.

"Xuan Shangyu." Cao Zhixuan said softly, "After you came out of the Buddha skeleton, you have changed."

The Great Master in Zipao hummed lightly, and said: "Your Majesty feels that I have made many mistakes, and these mistakes should not have been made. Step by step to the present situation, Your Majesty began to regret giving me this power. "

Cao Zhixuan took a deep breath, did not answer, but looked deeply into the eyes of the Zipao Imperial Master.

Xuan Shangyu said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about a question?"

There was a slight pause.

".What kind of country can become a country that dominates the world?"

Cao Zhixuan narrowed his eyes.

"Of course it's not the strongest cavalry charge. Daqin's cavalry charge is rare in thousands of years. The empire under the iron hoof was built very quickly and collapsed very quickly."

"Of course it's not the one with the best luck. Xichu's luck absorbs the beauty of heaven and earth, stepped on the corpse of Daqin, and the great luck that was forcibly taken from the sky with one sword after another finally benefited the people of the world. And Qijiang the Dragon King."

"So, what's the answer?"

"I really want to say that this kind of country should be a tolerant country that can tolerate mistakes and mistakes. If His Majesty can stop his hand in Fengting City, then Li Qing will not die. The Northern Wei Dynasty did not need to go through a painful exchange of blood.”

"If His Majesty treats Jiang Qingyi sincerely, then Xiguan will now become a huge weapon against the Southerners."

"If His Majesty can tolerate other opinions, then the people in the hall will be able to do more things. Maybe the sword that is at the throat of the Northern Wei Dynasty will be broken when it goes north."

"Even, Your Majesty, if you couldn't do all of the things before, and when Yi Xiao came to Luoyang, you had the heart to kill him directly, then the current situation wouldn't be so bad."

While saying these words, a butterfly with fluttering wings hovered in Xuan Shangyu's mind.

He thought of the conversation with Yi Xiao in the Buddha's body.

The two talked a lot.

That was a conversation that changed the world.

When a butterfly flutters its wings on Jiangnan Road, it may rain heavily in Luoyang City.

What would happen if the butterfly saw the heavy rain in Luoyang City in advance and stopped fluttering its wings on that day?

The ending is that Xiguan is reversed, Nancheng collapsed, and Beiguan is about to let go. All the stories are guiding the final ending.

Xuan Shangyu has seen this ending.

No matter what he does, it won't change.

So he was thinking about the answer, and finally looked at Cao Zhixuan, and said, "Your Majesty, I really want to find out the answer to why the Northern Wei Dynasty has reached this point."

"But... no answer."

Another long silence.

"The western line of defense can be left empty, but the royal court of Mobei cannot be let in."

"The Shenzi of Beiyuan hasn't made a move for a long time. Some people speculate that he is not too far away from the evildoer. The twin stars in the royal court are comparable to the Shenzi of Mobei, and there is a young man named 'Nalan'. This one Wang Ting is an army of hungry wolves that is not inferior to Xiguan Shiliuzi Battalion in the same scale, once they plunder southward, the final outcome will not be able to end."

Cao Zhixuan calmed down a little at this time.

He sat back in the chair.

"Reject the western line of defense, what should we do after emptying?"

When Zipao heard this question, he stared seriously into the eyes of the Cao family man, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, since the Northern Wei Dynasty needs Xiguan. Then, Your Majesty, why don't you admit your mistake to Jiang Qingyi?"

"Am I wrong?"

Cao Zhixuan, who was sitting on the chair, was still in a mess when he heard these words, and looked at the purple-robed great master with a little perplexity.

admit your mistake
"I did wrong, and you did wrong too. Not only Li Qing's death, but also Xu Zhirou, Ren Pingsheng, Wei Lingshan, Jiang Qingyi. It was smashed into pieces, and the Northern Wei Dynasty has reached its current state because of "

Xuan Shangyu said softly: "We have done many things wrong."
