Yunyang's army stayed behind, while Zhaochen's army continued to attack.
In Lieder's eyes, as long as there is war, there will be casualties. The trolley problem involved in this has always been a philosophical thinking that has plagued mankind. Lide once shared a point of view with Heyue before. He said that for law, process justice is greater than result justice; and for war, result justice is higher than process justice.
Because it has risen to the level of war, only those who win are qualified to write history, and are qualified to sit down and discuss which side of this war is just. For a territory, the most important thing is to achieve the desired result with as little cost as possible.
Zhaochen's army closely followed Tiancheng's victims, but kept a certain distance from them most of the time. Give them hope and make them despair, so as to keep breaking their minds. If there are people who are familiar with Tian Cheng here, they will soon find that this game of cat and mouse has an end—
Because Zhaochen's army has been driving them towards the main city of Tiancheng.
To Tiancheng's people, it seemed to be the territory of demons, which gave them an innate sense of fear. So they changed the escape route several times, but Zhaochen's army will soon realize this, and immediately send out men to outflank them. In the end, only a few people can escape, and most of them still follow Lide's idea. As he wanted, he was forced to flee to Tiancheng's main city.
This is also part of Lide's plan.
Why would the people of Tiancheng prefer to kill each other, rather than raise the banner of rebellion against Lord Tiancheng
Why is Huang Yan unwilling to interfere with Tian Cheng's affairs, and is unwilling to organize the people here to join the rebel army
Why did those extremely hungry people attack the foreign army and spontaneously become the guardians of Tiancheng's territory
The answer is very simple, because after hundreds of years of enslavement, the people of Tiancheng have already developed a deep-rooted fear of Tiancheng's regime. Even Huangyan feels that there is no need to save these people. If a person loses the courage to resist, what else can you expect him to do? Can only let him fend for himself.
But Lid felt that there was another way.
That is to let the people of Tiancheng chop up the family that has enslaved them for hundreds of years with their own hands, maybe they can regain the courage lost in the long river of history. Of course, if they didn't have the guts, Li De wouldn't mind rushing to Lord Tiancheng's mansion by himself, and using Lord Tiancheng to make the people control the entire Tiancheng territory in a disguised form.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is so difficult for Tiancheng's people to attack Lord Tiancheng. After thinking about it, Lides felt that there was only one way to do it, and that was to make himself a more brutal and frightening existence than Lord Tiancheng in the hearts of the people. So he mobilized Yunyang's elite troops to quickly break down the mentality of Tiancheng's people, and then drove them to the place where Lord Tiancheng was like herding sheep.
Naturally, the people of Tiancheng did not dare to resist the notorious Lord Tiancheng, but Zhaochen's army would not be polite to them either. As long as they deviate from the expected route, Zhaochen's army will immediately strike without hesitation. It is already the limit for these people to restrain themselves from killing at will, so don't expect any extra kindness from them.
Finally, the people of Tiancheng saw the purpose of Zhaochen's army, knelt on the ground in horror, and said in a trembling voice:
"Master Bing, please do me a favor, we don't dare to be enemies with that lord no matter what..."
"Yes, according to legend, that adult has three heads, six arms, an indestructible body, and holds a whip that can shatter people's souls. He is an envoy sent by heaven to enslave us..."
"If you let us go, we will repay you like a cow..."
A low-level officer of Zhaochen's army listened carefully to what they said, and then pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand, and said in a deep voice:
"I let you go..."
The people of Tiancheng who were kneeling on the ground immediately beamed with joy, but the officer's expression turned cold, and he continued:
"Who will let me go?"
The people of Tiancheng knew that the road was blocked, they immediately got up from the ground screaming and rushed towards the officer. But the latter was clearly prepared. After he drew his sword and killed a few people, the soldiers behind him also rushed up and stood in front of him. The two sides opened up some distance again, the young officer looked at those Tiancheng common people with disheveled hair, and told himself silently in his heart, he must not become like this, and he must not return to the time when his wealth and life were in the hands of others.
"You have only one way."
The young officer looked at the people whose eyes were filled with hatred, and said:
"Just go all the way to the east, to Lord Tiancheng! No matter whether he is three-headed and six-armed, or King Kong is not bad, you have to kill him. Otherwise, we will kill you, because we also want to live go down!"
That's right, when they were in Zhaochen, they also sought self-protection in the chaos, but in the end they lost everything they owned. After Yunyang took over, they were given the opportunity to make contributions, but they didn't cherish it at first. However, after a trip to Tiancheng, Zhaochen's soldiers immediately realized how rare this opportunity was - they should have become the same pitiful existence as these people before them, but now they at least hold their fate in their own hands.
They still live as human beings.
With incomparable pain and despair, the people of Tiancheng, chased by Zhaochen's soldiers, walked towards Lord Tiancheng's mansion.
Hundreds of thousands of people walked slowly, but they also formed a mighty force. It's just that this surging crowd no longer had the vigor to attack the armies of other territories. On the contrary, they were as dejected as prisoners. If it weren't for the spears behind them poking their backs, they would not even take a step forward.
In Yunyang's camp, Li De fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand, and the opponent Thirteen said:
"Lord Tiancheng's deadline is approaching, but the war has just begun. After all, we are not playing a turn-based game. Other territories will soon realize our plan, especially dogs with sharp noses like Duke Huai's territory. They will definitely try their best to pounce on us and bite us before we get it."
Fang Shisan stroked a specially made map with both hands, and replied:
"The strategy we use is not complicated. When other territories wake up, they will definitely imitate it and drive the people from all directions to attack Lord Tiancheng's mansion. If there is no accident, we will finally have a decisive battle in the center of Tiancheng."
Lied smiled and said:
"It's definitely faster than us. It's too late for them to act now. However, no one has stipulated that whoever defeats Tian Cheng will own it. Once Tian Cheng settles down, he will lose the property of the swamp. When the time comes, the territories of Yunhai and Duke Huai will definitely be destroyed." I want to come and pick peaches."
Li De held Fang Shisan's hand, and pressed it on the position of Tiancheng's main city:
"So our real goal this time is not just as simple as Tian Cheng... We have to let them know the pain."
