"More specific details?"
Yu Zhifu frowned, and Qi Guangji also fell into thought.
Yang You asked in surprise, "Are there any other specific details here? Did Daxia collapse when it was first established?"
Xiang Yu, who stood a head taller than the average man, thought for a moment and explained in a low voice, "It was indeed collapsed before. The first emperor of Daxia suddenly died, and then the Overlord of Western Chu rose up and marched all the way to Daxia's capital. The first batch of elite soldiers of Daxia were busy guarding the border, and they were defeated along the way to the capital. Even the bloodline of the ancestor of Daxia was annihilated.
Although the country was later restored, a new figure was in power. He also inherited the body of a true dragon, but his bloodline was not that of the original emperor.
Xiang Yu originally did not understand this part of history. After all, he was just a young fisherman in the countryside. It was only after he joined Donglin Temple that he had a special person to teach him about this part of history. It was not for any other reason, but because the King of Western Chu was suspected to be his ancestor and had the same physique as him.
When he read that period of history, he also felt particularly domineering and heroic. After all, his real ancestor was really domineering. He killed generals and captured flags along the way, and defeated the enemy with a small number of troops.
During the founding of the Xia Dynasty, he was able to defeat elite soldiers and generals along the way. Unfortunately, that person did not make it to the end. Although he was crowned king and became famous for a while, he was still defeated and died in the end.
Yang You exclaimed in surprise, "There's such a thing? Is this the secret from back then?"
He exclaimed, but no one else present was surprised by this piece of history. Be it Xue Cheng, Yu Zhifu, or Qi Guangji, they were all very clear about it. Instead, many people present looked at Yang You with slightly strange eyes.
He was clearly wearing the clothes of a character from the Six Gates and was able to come to the underworld, making him an extremely special person. However, he had not even received the most basic education and could be said to have slipped through the net of aristocratic family education, which was really incomprehensible to them.
They were all surprised that a commoner had sneaked into the group of people from top families.
After thinking carefully for a while, Yu Zhifu still shook his head and asked proactively: "I have carefully thought about this process, and I didn't find any hidden details!"
Qi Guangji also clasped his fists and asked, "The only question is perhaps the sudden death of the founding ancestor of Daxia. There's also a historical mystery: why did the army guarding the border never return? With that elite force, even if the Overlord of Western Chu was a supreme commander, with a military force unmatched, he couldn't have directly defeated that elite army."
"Isn't this a very clear and obvious point of doubt?"
Zhang Mingtu whispered softly on the stage.
"When Daxia was founded, it defeated the most powerful demon tribe and completely unified the country that had been divided into different places. Daxia's army was invincible. But at this moment of invincibility, the northern barbarians suddenly appeared and were able to stop Daxia's army, forcing it to deploy millions of troops on the border.
From this perspective, isn't there a lot of doubt?"
Yu Zhifu and Qi Guangji both had profound attainments in military science. At this time, they both leaned forward and wanted to speak.
Qi Guangji's mind worked faster, and since he was closer to the Northland, he knew more about the history and secrets of the past. He began by saying, "There shouldn't be too many doubts about this. When Great Xia unified the world, it expelled the demon tribe and various barbarians from this land. Then, they confronted them at the border and accidentally discovered the Northern Barbarians. Since then, they have been fighting against them for years. The army has been stationed at the border, and most of the inland areas are no longer in danger.
“This situation is reasonable.
"The only unreasonable point that historians doubt is that the Great Xia Emperor died suddenly.
As an unparalleled figure who possessed the body of a true dragon, carried the destiny of heaven and achieved the status of Martial Saint, he suddenly died before he was even fifty years old.
"Moreover, the person in charge of this matter kept the death a secret and secretly altered the will, causing the Crown Prince, who was still with the army at the border, to commit suicide. This allowed his most incompetent and stubborn eighteenth son to ascend to the throne. His reckless actions brought the entire empire to the brink of collapse.
"Even so, this situation lasted for a long time. If it weren't for the appearance of the Overlord of Western Chu, with the powerful soldiers and brave generals of Daxia at that time, even a second-rate or even inferior army would have been able to wipe them out."
Qi Guangji was very familiar with that period of history, after all, it was the history of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Zhang Mingtu just sneered when he heard it.
"A person who possessed the body of a true dragon and had achieved the status of a Martial Saint suddenly died. Does this sound reasonable?"
"This... maybe it's because of the hidden injuries sustained during the years of fighting."
The answer given by historians is that the emperor worked day and night in his early years, which led to excessive consumption of his energy, thus leaving him with illness and causing his untimely death.
But no one can accept such words.
A martial saint with the body of a true dragon died of exhaustion from working late at night. No one would believe it.
More people speculated that perhaps the cultivation method in his early years was not perfect, and that the powerful figure had problems in breaking through to the Martial Saint stage, causing damage to his origin, which is why he suddenly died at around the age of fifty.
But such a statement is hard to convince the public, after all, the weather that year actually showed that top masters did not care about the minority.
The method of cultivation of that supreme figure was not created by himself, but was perfected step by step by the royal family of Daxia over many generations. Logically speaking, there should be no mistakes or omissions in it.
