Douluo the god of justice

Chapter 168
Zhou Ci's words caused everyone in the handsome tent to fall into silence.

Let's not mention how effective Zhou Ci's words are, but it is difficult for most people in the command to accept soldiers to slaughter unarmed civilians.

Zhou Ci knew that his words would have a certain impact on everyone, and he didn't care about everyone's silence, so he cleared his throat and continued:

"Of course, if it's just like this, it may not be able to see much effect in a short time. After all, it's just some common people. In my opinion, Xue Beng hasn't loved the people like a son to expand the defense line for some ordinary people. Even if Xue Beng thinks, the people around him His staff will stop him, because it's still not worth it."

"Common people, in the eyes of the rich and powerful, are just a number, a number linked to productivity, taxes, and the number of soldiers. They will feel distressed, but it is only the distress of losing their belongings. Then what do you think will move them? It will make the top management of the Heaven Dou Empire really feel sorry for it, and even change their strategy."

Zhou Ci listened and took a sip of tea. Zhou Ci was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who was born without soul power, and he was tired of talking so much in one breath.

Everyone in the handsome tent was also thinking about what Zhou Ci said, what would make the top management of the Heaven Dou Empire really feel sorry for it.

Horus looked at the sand table, frowned, and said slowly, "Your plan is not easy to implement."

Zhou Ci showed a smile, and cupped his hands at Horus again, "It seems that the Warmaster has understood what I mean, yes, what really moves them is the territory, whether it is Xue Beng or other high-level, for They will never have any tolerance for imperial territory."

Someone asked, "Of course we know this, but how we divide their territory, Skystar City is still an unavoidable hurdle."

Zhou Ci continued unhurriedly, "National land, what is national land? The land where the citizens live is the national land. What if even the people on those lands are unwilling to admit that they are the citizens of the Tiandou Empire?"

"Since Xue Beng came to power, even if he intends to make amends, his reputation is still not good in the hearts of the people. The root cause is that he reformed too fast and too violently, and the impact was so severe that the common people are aware of it."

"If I look at it from Xue Beng's point of view, what he did is not wrong, but he shouldn't be so anxious. Since ancient times, reforms have only been gradually accepted by people by boiling frogs in warm water. Let's take one thing that Xue Beng did. Say."

"Slaughtering all the spirit halls within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, for Xue Beng, the spirit halls are thorns in his flesh and blood, which will only disperse his ruling power, and even cause damage to the Heaven Dou Empire. The hidden danger of instability, the destruction of the Wuhun branch hall is naturally understandable in Xue Beng's view."

"But in the eyes of ordinary people, what is Spirit Hall? It is the only chance for ordinary people to change the fate of their descendants. It is an organization that makes selfless dedication to all ordinary soul masters. When natural disasters occur everywhere, Spirit Hall will provide immediate support. What do you think of such an organization.”

"What will happen to the senses of the common people? Even if you don't say gratitude to Dade, at least they will have a good impression to a great extent, but now this is such an organization, it was wiped out, and it was washed clean by Xue Beng overnight. Do you think the common people will how to think?"

"If Xue Beng launched an organization to replace Wuhundian, and charged Wuhundian with several crimes, regardless of whether it is true or not, the common people would not have such big opinions, but how did Xue Beng do it?"

"School-age children, the official unified awakening of Wuhun, unified training, you must know that our Wuhun Palace is voluntary to join, and there will be many benefits for the joiner and his family, but what is Xue Beng? This is a mandatory unified training , What is the difference between this and catching young men?"

"Then, do you think the people in the Tiandou Empire will have no objections?" Zhou Ci smiled sullenly at this point, "What if we add another flame?"

"Mr. Zhou, what do you mean..." Most of the people in the commander's tent understood.

Zhou Ci nodded, "It's the soldiers I'm talking about sending out. They can be disguised as soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire. Of course, they don't go directly to slaughter them all. Instead, they are forced to recruit troops and collect food in villages and towns. .”

"Of course this is just an excuse. We have to give them an impossible quantity. At that time, if they can't complete the massacre, there is no need to kill them all. We can leave a few survivors to spread the news, and we will send some people to pretend to be Survivors, guide the direction of public opinion."

"And at this time, our Spirit Empire has announced that we will accept the disaster victims and treat them equally. With the original reputation of our Spirit Hall, who do you think the people will trust?"

"At this time, the people of the Heaven Dou Empire will form a trend, a trend of fleeing to our Spirit Empire, and more and more people will join in."

"Do you think Xue Beng will let these common people do nothing? They can accept the death of the common people, but it is difficult to accept the betrayal of the common people. If it is true that the people in the southern part of Tiandou have completely fled to our Spirit Empire, there is no land where there are no common people. , what's the point?"

"There is a high probability that Xue Beng will send troops to stop these people, and our goal will be achieved. Even if Xue Beng can bear it and let these people do nothing, it won't be a bad thing for us when they really escape to the Spirit Empire."

"Population has always been one of the most important resources. With these people, how much army can we expand, and how much wasteland can we open up."

"Also, do you think the soldiers in Skystar City will have no family members? As long as we guide them well enough, I believe that among the victims who fled to our Spirit Empire, there will be many soldiers in Skystar City who have family and friends."

"You must know that the defenders in Tianxing City were mobilized from various places in the south of the Tiandou Empire. We don't need to threaten them with our family members. We only need to clarify the stakes with their families. I believe they will voluntarily persuade them to surrender. The defenders in Skystar City."

"Of course, it is impossible for Tianxing City to be persuaded to surrender directly. They might not even be able to enter Tianxing City. Once we form a siege, will Tianxing City dare to open the city gate? There is a high probability that they will be shot to death as soon as they approach the city wall. But this effect is better, better than their persuasive persuasion by entering the city wall!"

After Zhou Ci said so much, he was indeed a little tired, so he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and finally added.

"Of course, there are still many details in this. I just gave a general idea. For example, although the people are ignorant, they are unwilling to leave their homes easily. This depends on our guidance. The south of the Heaven Dou Empire is empty. This is our best chance."

After Zhou Ci finished speaking, he sat down, picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a glass of water.
