Fang Zheng is now completely OTL.
After all, you see... facing the sea, the flowers are blooming in the warm winter. From the magnificent mountains and rivers, you can feel the natural universe. How cool is that?
But on the other hand, you say... Hey, I flirted with a little girl a few days ago, and suddenly I realized the truth of the universe...
Could it be that I am following the path of the evil god?
Alas, I can only say that I was unlucky at the beginning. I had to do something else but become the protagonist of a love world. After all, you see, the protagonists of a love world usually fall in love... Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I finally got it done. At least so far, Fang Zheng has found the first step to integrate order and chaos and thus control them.
As for what to do next, let’s continue to study it slowly.
For now, let’s take a look at the situation on Xiang Yu’s side.
But for Xiang Yu, this war has turned into a nightmare.
An army of 400,000 may sound impressive, but if they really collapsed, it would be a complete defeat. In fact, the casualties of the "air strike" from the hot air balloon were not large, and if everyone could calm down, they would not be completely helpless. However, with the sudden appearance of the air strike and the arrival of the "armored vehicles" in the rear, the army was completely panicked. With a large number of soldiers fleeing, even if the others wanted to reorganize the team, they were powerless.
Of course, Xiang Yu was also smart and ordered his troops to hide in the forest. However, Fang Zheng had obviously prepared a countermeasure long ago. He threw a few fire bombs and set the mountain on fire. As a result, most of the troops were not killed by air strikes and chariots, but were burned to death by the flames.
In addition, the biggest loss for Xiang Yu was the princes. You should know that when attacking Hangu Pass, for safety reasons, and without any idea of preventing air strikes, the commanders of the princes' army almost all set up their tents on high ground behind the army. As a result, they became targets of air strikes. It can be said that the first wave of air strikes was aimed at those tents, so that the princes were caught off guard and died instantly.
Without a leader, coupled with the sudden air strikes, armored vehicles and fire attacks, the 400,000-man army completely collapsed. Many soldiers chose to surrender directly, and nearly half of the remaining soldiers were burned to death in the forest fire. Only one in ten of those who followed Xiang Yu to withdraw safely from the battlefield survived, which can be said to be extremely miserable.
“Haha…”
Xiang Yu walked to the river, stretched out his hand to wash his face with water, then raised his head and looked around. He saw that the soldiers around him were exhausted, and few of them could stand on the ground intact. Most of the soldiers sat on the ground and remained silent. Occasionally, he could hear the screams of wounded soldiers in the distance.
I really didn't expect that with 400,000 of my people, not only could I not capture Hangu Pass which was defended by 40,000 people, but I was also defeated by the enemy in such a tragic scene.
Before this, Xiang Yu had never expected such a thing to happen, but now...
At this moment, a hand holding a wine glass was suddenly handed to Xiang Yu.
"Want a bite?"
Hearing this voice, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment. He took the wine glass, then turned his head and saw Fang Zheng standing beside him, looking at him with a smile.
"Mr. Fang..."
"How do you feel now? I didn't break my promise."
"Of course, Xiang Yu would like to thank Master Fang for not killing him."
Although Xiang Yu sounded like he was thanking him, in fact, he was obviously very unhappy, and his voice was also hard. But Fang Zheng didn't care about that, he just laughed and sat on the stone next to him.
"Okay, tell me, after this war, do you have any thoughts?"
“…”
Xiang Yu did not speak, but sat on another stone next to Fang Zheng, looking at the wine glass in his hand with an unclear expression, without saying a word.
"Is it hard to accept? Your martial arts skills are extraordinary and unparalleled in the world, but you were beaten to the ground by a group of soldiers whose names you don't even know. Have you ever thought about why those soldiers were able to chase you around even though they were not as strong as you, not as fast as you, and did not have as strong martial arts and internal strength as you?"
"Because... those weird things."
“This is the power of wisdom.”
Fang Zheng reached out and patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder.
"Look, just like the armor you wear and the weapons you use, these are also the power of wisdom. Humans learned how to forge iron and swords, so they can create this armor and forge swords that are extremely sharp and can cut through iron like mud. Otherwise, you would still be like those ancestors in ancient times, wearing furs and holding stone axes and shouting there. Do you understand?"
"but……"
Xiang Yu was not a fool. He understood Fang Zheng's meaning, but he could not accept this point of view.
"Of course, I'm not saying that the role of individual force will be eliminated, but it will definitely be weakened. This is the trend..."
At this point, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. Although, as he said, this is a trend, there are exceptions. For example, once you become a god or immortal and have extraordinary powers, mundane power will naturally not be a problem.
But this doesn't seem to have much to do with Xiang Yu.
"Besides, force can't solve everything. Otherwise, so many generals wouldn't have been killed by the treacherous officials in the court. Well... I'll stop here. I'll give you one night to make a decision. I advise you not to dwell on it. It will not benefit anyone."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu did not speak, instead, he just lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand. After a long while, Xiang Yu seemed to have made up his mind, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then turned his head and looked around - but there was nothing on the stone there, no one at all.
From this moment on, history changed.
In history, Xiang Yu finally committed suicide by slashing his own throat at the Wu River, but here, Xiang Yu only hesitated for half a night before sending an envoy to Hangu Pass to surrender.
In fact, Xiang Yu was also very conflicted at first, but it was his wife Yu Ji who enlightened him. After listening to Xiang Yu's explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, Yu Ji enlightened Xiang Yu that if Mr. Fang was really a reincarnated immortal, then it would not be shameful to lose to him, and even if he was an immortal, he would have to take out those weapons made by immortal means to fight with you, which was enough to show your ability as a general.
Well, this made Xiang Yu very happy. If Fang Zheng used his original means and soldiers to defeat him, then it would mean that Xiang Yu was nothing but a waste. But now, even if Fang Zheng said that he would not do it himself, didn't he create those magical and strange weapons?
In other words, if the immortals do not use weapons made with immortal technology, they will not be able to defeat me.
Well, thinking about it this way, Xiang Yu's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he didn't have any other thoughts. Moreover, he was a family man who knew his own business, and he also knew that Fang Zheng was a true immortal, so he was really not happy at all after losing to Fang Zheng... Well, being chased by someone all the way, he was definitely not happy.
However, with Yu Ji's comfort, that little bit of unhappiness naturally didn't matter.
With Xiang Yu's surrender, Fang Zheng's team became even larger. He did not immediately proclaim himself emperor, but instead went around to suppress the nobles of the six old countries - after all, history has proven that these nobles of the old countries are the source of the unrest, and they will be trouble as long as they are not wiped out!
If Qin Shihuang had been able to kill all the nobles of the old six kingdoms, then the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising might have really been just a failed peasant uprising, and the Qin Dynasty would not have perished in the second generation.
Fang Zheng certainly won't make the same mistake as Qin Shihuang.
When dealing with these people, Fang Zheng would not be as polite as he was with Xiang Yu. He would not have a "fair fight" or anything like that. He would just go straight up and wipe them out.
Due to Fang Zheng's attitude towards the nobles of the old six kingdoms, he did not gain the loyalty of the descendants of various countries like Liu Bang did. However, Fang Zheng did not need to, because what he had to do was to completely eliminate the old aristocratic system and then adopt a completely new system for reform.
A year later, when Fang Zheng had eliminated all the noble forces of the old six kingdoms and successfully suppressed the restoration of the six kingdoms, he finally ascended the throne and became emperor. In order to "respect history", Fang Zheng named the country "Han" as in history, and the emperor's court dress was still in the style of the Qin Dynasty. The feudal system was abolished, and a unified centralized system was completely established.
I never thought that this day would come to me.
Sitting on the throne, looking at the ministers below, listening to the orders and announcements of the servants, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although he had thought about this day a long time ago, when he actually sat in this position, Fang Zheng still found it a little weird. How could I, a game developer, become the emperor?
However, just as Fang Zheng was daydreaming, he suddenly felt his entire body shake. The next moment, an incomparable hot breath emerged from the ground and merged with Fang Zheng. At the same time, the world in Fang Zheng's eyes suddenly turned black and white!
This is?
At this moment, Fang Zheng was surprised to find that his world had begun to change. The original palace and city had all become blurry, replaced by countless air currents. He could clearly feel that the sky, the earth, the mountains, the lakes, the rivers, and everything else were becoming blurry, as if they were about to merge into one...
Could it be that...wait, this isn't right!
As a god, Fang Zheng quickly understood what this meant. He had already defined the world in "reality", and now, he had to redefine the world in "non-reality"! Just like Pangu created the world, he had to define a brand new order in this chaos!
Wait, isn't this a martial arts world? If you do this, it will become a fairy world. I say!
However, now is not the time for Fang Zheng to complain in his heart, because he can feel that the chaotic energy is becoming more and more intense, just like data that are requesting approval one by one. If you don't get it done quickly, the whole system may crash!
Ugh… if that’s the case… let the underworld rise!
As Fang Zheng's thoughts turned, the originally chaotic earth suddenly flashed, and then several dark cities rose from the ground. The ghosts that seemed to be swept away by the chaotic vortex gradually calmed down.
All things have spirits, emotions and natures. The river belongs to the river god, the sea belongs to the dragon king, and the mountain belongs to the mountain god.
The gods of the land and the city, please obey my orders and put virtue and behavior first...
At this moment, Fang Zheng could not care about anything else. He was designing a new "unrealistic" social system at the fastest speed. Fortunately, Fang Zheng had read some fantasy novels such as Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and Journey to the West before, and had some impression of the judges, city gods, land gods, and mountain gods in them. At this moment, he hurriedly gave orders. In short, this damn unrealistic field must be evaluated first, and then other things can be discussed!
Time passed by minute by minute. It was unknown how long it had been. When the servant loudly announced the rewards in the real world, Fang Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, finally opened his eyes, sighed softly, and wiped a cold sweat from his heart.
Although it was a bit hasty, fortunately, we finally managed to pacify the other world.
Of course, this is just the skeleton. As for the fine details, I will need to fill them in myself in the future...but these are naturally not important now.
but……
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but look a little strange.
When I first came here, this should have been just an ordinary martial arts historical world, so why is it now deviating towards a fairy tale world?
Is it because he is a true god and became the emperor?
