[In response to Balian's rejection, Tiberias sighed: The Holy City does not need a perfect knight. ]

【But Balian believes that the Holy City is a moral country, otherwise it is nothing. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: This person is too idealistic. Without powerful military force, what can you use to protect your own city of morality?

By those who want to start a war?

Moreover, people who are too idealistic often like to pin their hopes on others, but they don’t realize that this is the most fatal mistake.

Zhu Biao wanted to rush over and punch the male protagonist to wake him up. How stupid!

You want to be a loyal minister, so you refuse power, but you fail to see that those treacherous people are always pursuing power.

Because they knew clearly that in order to achieve their war, it was necessary to gain the highest power.

[Baldwin IV eventually died in silence, Sibylla took off his mask, and the disease destroyed his face, turning it into a hideous and terrifying one.]

Everyone was shocked by his appearance, he was so scary!

Kangxi touched his face. The smallpox he had suffered in his early years also left slight marks on his face...

But at the same time it is also a powerful condition for him to ascend the throne, and he will no longer be troubled by this disease in the future.

[A new king has ascended the throne. He is known as Baldwin V. Sibylla needed knights loyal to Guy, so after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to marry Guy.]

Emperors: ...

The dynasties in the Central Plains were particular about avoiding the names of their predecessors, but this foreign country was different, with the same name no matter how many generations passed.

At most, you can add a few more generations, and for a moment it will be difficult to tell who is who.

Qianlong said this was normal. Just look at Louis of France. He is now Louis XVI, and there were fifteen and fourteen before him.

Our own era name sounds better, is easier to remember and distinguish.

Kublai Khan sneered: Look, this is the consequence of Balian's rejection of power.

Now the warmongering people are in power. This Guy has been slaughtering merchants and followers of the Y religion since Baldwin IV was still alive. Now that he is in power, can he not avenge his past humiliation? The Holy City is destined to be in war again.

[However, tragedy continued, and Baldwin V also suffered from leprosy. Sibylla could not bear to see her child suffer the same pain as Baldwin IV, so she suppressed her grief and let the child die in her arms.]

[Sibylla became the queen of the Holy City, but she was disheartened by the death of her brother and child. She crowned Guy as king and stayed away from politics ever since.]

Emperors and ministers of all dynasties: As expected, even if they become a queen, not every woman can become a true queen.

After all, empresses like Catherine are a minority.

Ying Zheng watched the end of this holy city coldly. It was Saladin who impressed him the most, and Guy who wanted to provoke a war was not his opponent.

Li Si: Balian was unwilling to take power, so the peace faction fell behind. Now the queen is not paying attention to government affairs, and Guy, the war faction, has the highest power. All the conditions for war have really come together.

Some women were so anxious that they stamped their feet: You said you are the queen, why do you still want to enthrone Guy?

Not to mention for her brother and child, even for herself, after gaining power, wouldn't it be better to just take the man who doesn't want to be with her into her harem?

If you don't like it anymore, you can always change it.

Oh, it’s so frustrating!

[Sure enough, after Guy became king, he began to send knights to assassinate Balian and released Reynald to provoke the war they wanted.]

[Reynald began to massacre the followers of the Y religion and killed Saladin's sister.]

Oh open!

This time the fight will not stop until one dies.

Liu Bang shook his head. How stupid! How stupid!

Killing the family of the opposing leader leaves himself no way out. Does he think he can defeat Saladin?

Wei Qing also shook his head. Unless you have an absolute chance of crushing the opponent, you will completely anger the opponent.

[Saladin sent an envoy to ask Guy to hand over his sister's body and the head of the murderer and offer it to the holy city.]

[The messenger's words made Tiberias close his eyes helplessly. Guy's answer was to send the messenger's head to Saladin. The war was about to begin.]

[Before the Crusaders set out, Balian came to remind Guy not to go far away from the water source and attack rashly.]

Liu Che: He felt that he was not dying fast enough.

[Guy naturally didn't take Balian's words to heart, Balian just left sadly. ]

[So, when the Crusaders had no water and were exhausted, Saladin's army surrounded them.]

Emperors and ministers of all dynasties: …

Look, what did I just say? Don't stay away from water!

Is this guy's brain full of shit?

Even if his brain is full of shit, there are always some of his subordinates who don't have shit in their brains. Why don't you remind him?

Just watch the army march straight to their death?

It is true that the soldiers are all incompetent, and the generals are all incompetent.

[Saladin followed the etiquette of a king not killing a king and handed Guy a glass of rose ice water. Guy was angry and refused to accept it, but Reynald shamelessly accepted it.]

[Saladin put an end to him personally. ]

[Saladin said to Guy: A ruler of one country should not kill another ruler. You once served a true king, but you were not imbued with the aura of a king.]

The sarcasm value is maxed out.

[This battle is known in history as the Battle of Hattin, and the True Cross, a symbol of the Crusaders’ faith, was destroyed in this war.]

[When Balian and Tiberias arrived, they saw only corpses scattered all over the ground, with crows and vultures gnawing at the corpses, like hell on earth.]

Tiberias was disheartened and unwilling to fight any more, so he left with his knights.

Cao Cao was speechless: So many soldiers died in vain, didn’t Guy sacrifice his life for the city?

What a waste!

Zhuge Liang: It doesn't matter if the monarch is useless, what's worrying is that he is useless and doesn't listen to advice...

What’s even more fatal is that he is self-righteous. This Guy possesses all three qualities, so such an outcome of war is very normal.

[Before Saladin arrived at the Holy City, Balian deployed defenses and organized the garrison to prepare for Saladin's siege.]

[A hundred years ago, the Crusaders massacred all believers in the city, regardless of their religion, after they occupied the holy city.]

[This time, Saladin's army is about to arrive. Will the Holy City be massacred again...]

Li Shimin discovered that although this local war was essentially a struggle for land resources, the shadow of religion was everywhere.

It even affects everyone in the war. People even hate each other because of different beliefs and regard each other as heretics.

Isn't this religion's fault?

Can't there be a wise and capable monarch who can unify thoughts and religions?

Li Shimin once again felt the value of the First Emperor's unification of the six kingdoms with the same writing system, the same wheel gauge, and the same weights and measures, and he truly deserved to be the greatest emperor of all time.

Without his extraordinary foresight, the Central Plains would still be divided into many vassal states. How could there not be war if everyone had different writing systems and languages?

It is no wonder that later generations highly respected the First Emperor.
