The black robe's eyes were shining, and there was a hint of pride in his voice: "Doesn't this just mean that there are still many people in the world who are unwilling to follow Liu Yu, but are willing to follow us. The existence of these people is Liu Yu's He can only be forced to cooperate with us on the basis that he needs our presence to ensure that these people will not resist him all the time, just like he needed Murong Lan to help him manage the Xianbei people!"
Zhu Chaoshi almost instinctively wanted to refute, but then he thought about it. He couldn't show that he was too on Liu Yu's side now. It would be a big loss if the flaw was discovered at this critical moment. He nodded and agreed: "Indeed, in order to realize his ideal of the Northern Expedition, Liu Yu can negotiate everything. However, it seems from now on that many concessions and compromises have not achieved the results he wanted."
The black robe sneered: "Because the great cause he wants will eventually hurt the interests of many people. He tried his best to make some balance between these interests, but in the end, neither end was able to succeed. However, this is us opportunity, if you can't defeat Liu Yu on the battlefield in the future, you might as well talk to him about the conditions and bargain, it is better than my predecessor who just fought to the end."
Zhu Chaoshi's heart moved: "Heipao, are you worried that you can't defeat Liu Yu, so you have to compromise early to leave yourself a way out?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the black robe's eyes: "I'm afraid no one in this world wants Liu Yu to die more than me, but anger alone can't accomplish anything. What you military strategists say is that before any battle, you should think about victory before thinking about victory. If you lose, you have to consider the worst case scenario. The same goes for me. If there is an opportunity to eliminate Liu Yu, don't miss it. But if it really can't be eliminated, then we have to discuss cooperation. My predecessor in black robe, that is, Murong Chui, Just because I didn’t leave a way out for myself, I would end up dying and my country would be destroyed. I don’t want to have such a result.”
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "Yes, Liu Yu seems to be possessed by a god, which always allows him to complete incredible, almost desperate tasks and turn defeat into victory. This is also the reason why many soldiers are willing to follow him, because in their hearts, they have already Treat Liu Yu as an invincible god."
A meaningful light flashed in the black robe's eyes, and he looked directly at Zhu Chaoshi: "Chaoshi, do you think so too?"
Zhu Chaoshi's heart skipped a beat and he nodded: "Yes, until now, I still think Liu Yu is the invincible God of War, but fate has made it impossible for me to serve him anymore. Either he dies or I die, so , even if he is really a god, I can only fight with him, because even if he is a god, he cannot let me die like this."
The black robe laughed and said: "So, I provide you with an opportunity that does not necessarily involve a life-and-death fight with the God of War in your heart. However, it depends on your performance. If you really want to make peace with Liu Yu, Then taking Jingzhou and capturing Liu Daogui, Tan Daoji, Lu Zongzhi and others is what must be done. This is also one of the reasons why I chose you."
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "What you mean is that if the original leaders of Tianshi Dao, from Lu Xun to Xu Daofu, all had a bloody feud with the Beifu Army and would not stop until death, so Liu Daogui would never surrender to them. ?"
The black robe said meaningfully: "Yes, when we instigated Sun En and others to raise an army, we wanted to take advantage of the hatred of the people of Sanwu against the aristocratic family. Once this hatred is launched, it is difficult to control. For hundreds of years, the aristocratic family has been hostile to these people from the north. The oppression and cruelty of the refugees and tenant farmers became their anger when they raised their troops, spreading from one to ten, to ten to hundreds, and to hundreds of thousands, like a raging fire that set a prairie fire open, and it was out of control."
"So when Tianshi Dao raised troops, all kinds of inhumane and cruel acts abounded. The atrocities of forcing family members to eat the flesh and blood of officials occurred under such circumstances. And this cruel act , not only can the ordinary soldiers and civilians involved in the uprising have no way out, but also allow the senior leaders of Tianshi Tao to break the fear of the officials among new converts. After all, under the rule of the children of these aristocratic families, even if they were given Even if they were beaten to death, they would not dare to resist.”
"But the Celestial Master Tao is different. They respect Master Zhang Tianshi and do not recognize this human emperor. The children of aristocratic families also practice this Tao. Therefore, those people who usually dare not fight with the officials, if they have the support of religion, They can become bolder, just like those little monsters in religious myths who dare to eat people. They also think that eating the flesh of these children of aristocratic families can absorb their strength and wisdom, and they can become Become stronger."
In Zhu Chaoshi's heart, he greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of these demons and monsters countless times, and lamented whether God was blind and allowed these demons in human skin to run rampant in the world and destroy the usually honest and kind people. , also turned into a man-eating demon. I don’t know how many years it will take to eliminate this evil, but with a smile on his face, he said: "With this method, new people who join will not dare to The idea of regenerating and renouncing religion is that in extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done. However, this kind of violence cannot last forever. Once cannibalism becomes a habit, human nature is lost, and it is no different from animals. Then all the rules and laws in the world will Morality is no longer feasible.”
The black robe nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, at the beginning of the uprising, we need to pull the team together, and the participants must be unable to turn back, so we can only use this trick. But if the power is strong and the world is dominated, we can no longer rely on this trick. Otherwise, I will not be able to rule the world. This is why I must get rid of Lu Xun and Xu Daofu. With them and the old brothers from the time of the uprising, this set, including the intercourse between heaven and man, cannot be abolished. , without a new leader, there is no way to change these rules that have been implemented for many years."
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "But I have experienced this myself. Although I have never eaten human flesh, I have personally killed my former colleagues in the Beifu Army, betrayed my mentor, and participated in the harmony between heaven and man. I also want to show my interest to Lu Lanxiang, I have experienced these things myself, how can I abolish them?"
The black robe said calmly: "As long as they are not extremely fanatical and dehumanized, few people like this. Even Lu Xun and Xu Daofu may not like to do these things. You think Xu Daofu likes to watch it." Do you want your wife to have an affair with you? It’s just that I can’t abolish it myself because I used it to deceive others. I can only make mistakes and go to the dark side.”
At this point, Heipao paused: "But you are different. You have been forced from the day you joined. Therefore, end this cruelty since Sun En and turn Tianshi Dao from a religious regime into a Human forces, this task can only be completed by you."
