Chapter 12312
Betrayed by everyone, a truly tragic situation.
Even the onlookers outside were filled with sighs, but they all felt that he deserved it.
"The Sima family are all despicable people, and they should be dealt with like this!"
Someone couldn't help but shout.
However, upon seeing everyone looking over, he quickly covered his mouth and fell silent.
Although the Sima family was only a second-rate family and nothing compared to the top families, they were still a behemoth that ordinary people like them could not afford to offend.
Once you're targeted, you'll be dead in no time.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Before anyone knew it, Sima Bozhong had become a rat that everyone wanted to kill.
The more miserable his situation was, the more entertained the audience became, and the more enlightened they felt.
"What's the point of him forcing his way in like that? It just feels like he's humiliating himself."
For a powerful minister to fall to this point, even if he hasn't been completely eliminated yet, in everyone's eyes, he has reached the end of his road and there is no chance of him ever making a comeback.
A powerful minister? What powerful minister in the world shovels horse manure?
Only Li Tianguo frowned secretly.
"If this person doesn't die, he will remain a hidden danger."
This is not an ordinary tool, but a character meticulously manipulated by someone behind the scenes. In a sense, it can be said to be the chosen one in the sandbox world, a character with the protagonist's halo.
Once something becomes an unkillable cockroach, it's hard to say how many troubles it will cause in the future.
What Li Tianguo could see, Cao Luoshen, who was in the thick of it, could naturally see as well.
He wanted to kill the character Sima Bozhong more than anyone else.
Unfortunately, Sima Bozhong never gave him the slightest chance.
Each track has its own rules.
As fellow courtiers, Cao Luoshen could only eliminate the other's character by relying on court rules.
Unfortunately, Sima Bozhong was far too cautious, preferring to be a complete coward rather than leave any evidence against him.
No matter how Cao Luoshen fabricated charges, she could never convict her of a capital offense.
Not only that, Sima Bozhong was even able to continue to remain in the court, but no one paid him any attention.
"What a fucking dog!"
Cao Luoshen cursed angrily, but ultimately there was nothing she could do.
His goal was to end the race of powerful ministers; he couldn't keep wasting his time with Sima Bozhong forever. Meanwhile, Lin Yi on the other side had already launched his Northern Expedition.
Throughout history, no achievement has been greater than expanding territory.
Everyone, both inside and outside the game, could see that the Northern Expedition was the watershed moment between the two sides.
Whoever wins will end the race for power and influence.
Cao Luoshen immediately used his authority as prime minister to organize and mobilize troops to the maximum extent possible, preparing to fight a decisive battle on the main battlefield.
In terms of national strength, the two countries are not even in the same league.
The Shu Kingdom was already weak, and to launch a northern expedition was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
"Is Qin Shengjie stupid? Knowing that the two people on the other side would definitely start fighting, why would he willingly go up there and deliver himself to the enemy?"
From an outsider's perspective, this is helping Sima Bozhong out of a predicament.
Li Tianguo said, "You've forgotten that the people on the track are all ordinary people, not cultivators, and their lifespans are very limited."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Powerful cultivators can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but those in these competitions only live for a few decades in a lifetime.
If one's physical condition is poor, they might not live past fifty years.
Once a character dies on the track, it's all over.
Therefore, both sides are currently under pressure and must complete their tasks before their time is up.
Without this restriction, everyone could keep going indefinitely, and the character-based race would become a retirement home.
A major battle ensued between the two sides.
Judging from the result, it turned out to be a closely contested match.
Lin Yi's northern expedition was indeed unsuccessful, but the fighting spirit displayed in this battle against a far stronger enemy on their own doorstep was truly impressive.
"There really is such an army?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even through the sand table, these outsiders could sense a completely different aura emanating from this army compared to other armies.
That was the mark left on them by Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu!
Not to mention them, even Cao Luoshen on the other side couldn't hide his surprise at this moment.
As a top-tier second-generation member of the Cao family, he was exposed to various things from a young age and has considerable expertise in military affairs. Calling him a military master might be an exaggeration, but at least in the Tianjun second-generation circle, he is definitely among the best in this field.
In a battle between two armies, as long as their forces are evenly matched, he has never feared anyone.
This is also the source of his confidence to confront the enemy head-on without resorting to any underhanded tactics.
Despite having the home advantage and outnumbering the opponent, they still managed to win like this.
On the surface it looks like a draw, but in reality it's already a defeat.
It wasn't even a minor defeat!
Cao Luoshen was somewhat on guard, and immediately mobilized all resources and gathered troops to launch a southern expedition.
He wanted to get his revenge.
Seeing this, Li Tianguo from the sidelines sighed and said, "Brother Cao has lost his temper."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Luoshen's team has a much stronger foundation than the opposing team, and even though they suffered heavy casualties in this match, they can recover much faster.
That will be the time to launch a counterattack.
Someone couldn't help but say, "The Shu Kingdom has suffered heavy casualties and is at its weakest point. It doesn't seem like there's any problem in striking while the iron is hot, does it?"
Li Tianguo glanced at him: "You forgot there's one more person."
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
Sima Bozhong!
Even now, Sima Bozhong is still raising horses, and he has been suppressed to the point that he can't even raise his head.
But anyone with eyes can see that this is a venomous snake lying in wait.
If Cao Luoshen reveals even the slightest flaw, he will definitely seize the opportunity.
This guy is just waiting for the right opportunity.
Cao Luoshen was not unaware of this. With his current advantage, he was confident that he could advance head-on while firmly suppressing Sima Bozhong.
As long as he is alive, Sima Bozhong will never have a chance to rise in status.
As expected, the main battlefield fell into a protracted stalemate.
Cao Luoshen's arrival was aggressive, and Lin Yi was indeed under considerable pressure.
The two countries are simply not on the same level in terms of national strength.
However, the enemy had traveled a long distance, and the mountainous terrain of Shu gave them an obvious geographical advantage. By waiting in comfort, they could make up for the difference in national strength.
To be honest, the fact that Cao Luoshen's portrayal of Prime Minister Cao, under Zhuge Liang's personal command, was able to maintain a direct stalemate instead of collapsing quickly, is itself a testament to his strength.
But this gives Sima Bozhong his chance.
Don't forget, this isn't the race for emperors, it's the race for powerful ministers.
Although a powerful minister can mobilize the power of a country to a great extent, a minister is ultimately just a minister, with an emperor always above him, even if he is a puppet emperor who has been sidelined.
What he does at the final stage of the race is not up to Cao Luoshen's personal will.
