Ye Xiaochuan didn't realize the importance of the culture war before. It wasn't until Zhan Ying talked about it that he had to think about this issue.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized what Zhan Ying said made sense.
Swords can arm people's hands and bodies, but culture can arm people's brains and souls.
Once there are changes in the cultural field, people in the heavens use the sky to build momentum, and can easily change the determination of death in a decisive battle in the hearts of many people in the world, and thus turn to the side of the heavens and become a member of the army of servants used by the heavens to slaughter human beings.
If the people's awe of the sky is not broken, the catastrophic battle in the future will be very difficult.
He said slowly: "It is not easy to break the awe of the sky.
Whether they are the people of China or the foreign races outside the Great Wall, their civilizations are full of awe and worship for the heaven and heaven.
It is very difficult to completely break the cultural restrictions that have existed for thousands of years in the human world. This is not only contrary to the imperial court's divine right to rule, but also contrary to the ideas conveyed to mortals by the world of cultivation."
Zhan Yingdao: "Yes, among the cultural systems of the Three Realms, the cultural system of the human world is the highest, but in the hearts of the people in the world, our own culture is the lowest.
I feel that there is a big gap between my own culture and the culture of the heaven and the underworld.
In the eyes of these people, people in the heavenly world are born superior to others, they are masters, gods, and gods.
Human beings in the world will always be the bottom class enslaved by heaven.
This kind of thinking has imprisoned the people of the world for tens of thousands of years, especially since all previous catastrophes almost always resulted in the defeat of the world, which has further deepened the people of the world's lack of confidence in human culture.
What we have to do now is to reshape people's confidence in human culture.
Only when cultural self-confidence and national pride increase can we win this battle."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhan Yingdao: "There is only one way."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "What can I do?"
Zhan Ying said slowly: "The shaping of culture and beliefs is not completed in one or two years, but requires hundreds or thousands of days and months.
If you want to change it, it cannot be changed in one or two generations. This is a long and long process.
We no longer have time to change the cultural beliefs of the common people, let alone reshape them into a new cultural belief.
The only way now is to use several tragic battles to inspire the blood of the people in the world, just like the military god Li Tielan did back then.
Just like the Wuming Pass, Niangzi Pass, Yumen Pass, the Battle of Quelong Valley, and the Battle of Eagle Beak Cliff.
Now we can only use the lives of countless people to activate the warlike passion in the hearts of the people, so that the people will share the same hatred towards the heaven."
Ye Xiaochuan understood what Zhan Ying meant.
But how many lives are needed to accomplish this?
Seeing Zhan Ying's calm expression, Ye Xiaochuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
In Zhan Ying's mind, it seems that life is just a series of numbers.
What he wants is the outcome of the war, not how many people will die during the battlefield! This war hero may indeed save the world.
But the world may also be destroyed by him! He is a two-faced man who can be the savior or the demon god of destruction.
Ye Xiaochuan remained silent for a long time, communicating with Ye Cha in the sea of souls.
Ye Cha sneered at Ye Xiaochuan's entanglement.
Ye Chadao: "Forty million people died, and forty million people died, and even the civilization of the world was destroyed. Which is more serious, don't you understand?
If it were me, I would not hesitate to choose this war hero's tactics and use human lives to awaken the blood of human beings."
Ye Xiaochuan then thought about it, Zhan Ying and Ye Cha were not the only ones who ignored life.
Among the cultivators I know, from Yujizi to ordinary disciples in the world of cultivation, who would take the lives of mortals seriously?
Don’t they all regard mortal life as a string of numbers that can be erased and rewritten at any time?
Even if it is an astronomical figure, they don't care at all! Righteousness does not keep money, kindness does not do business, and kindness does not lead the army.
A military commander cannot have any mercy.
Zhao Zian is a little merciful, so he is destined to lead only a few million troops at most and charge into battle at the command of his superiors.
He is a qualified general.
But he is not a handsome man who can command tens of thousands of troops.
Ye Xiaochuan knew in his heart that Wang Zaishan was not wrong about the person back then.
The war hero in front of me is another military god Li Tielan.
Zhan Ying pointed to the Red Feather Army that was training and said, "Actually, there is a great opportunity right in front of us."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "You mean to use these female soldiers from the Kingdom of Heaven to start a catastrophic battle?"
Zhan Ying nodded.
He said: "I know a little bit about the contents of the high-level military meeting held by the General Manager at Yumen Pass the day before yesterday.
Nangong Yan, the general marshal of Tiannu Kingdom, is a very wise person who can see the situation clearly.
Therefore, she led the red feather army stationed at Tianying Pass and rushed to Longbei Mountain overnight.
These people say they are out for training, but in fact they may have other purposes.
Longbei Mountain is less than a hundred miles away from Yumen Pass. This is a natural stage. A big play here can be seen not only by the tens of millions of defenders at Yumen Pass, but also by hundreds of millions of people in China.
To be honest with Shopkeeper Ye, I originally planned to use Longbei Mountain to do something, but my status in the army is limited and I am not able to directly mobilize the army.
Now that the Red Feather Army of the Heavenly Lady Kingdom is here, maybe the scene I arranged can be expanded.
We can fight a bloody battle with the heavenly army outside the pass, from small to large, similar to the nameless pass.
Women, especially women who died in battle, are the ones who can inspire men’s passion the most.”
Ye Xiaochuan was silent.
Although he was very opposed to Zhan Ying's plan to take the lives of millions of Red Feather troops in his heart, he did not say a word of objection.
If we can win this catastrophe, no matter how big the sacrifice, it will be worth it.
While talking, Wang Keke ran over on Zhui Feng.
Said: "Zongci, Changfeng's mother is here."
Ye Xiaochuan nodded and said, "I'll go back right away."
He cupped his hands to Zhan Ying and said: "I have a lot of feelings after listening to what you said today. I still have some things to deal with. We will talk about it someday. If I have time, I will inform Wang Zaishan and inform him of your whereabouts.
.”
Zhan Ying stretched out his hand and said, "If you have anything to do, please do your homework first. I have to take my men on inspection."
At the entrance of Longmen Inn, there were hundreds of herdsmen driving nearly a thousand sheep. General Changfeng's group of young men were happily driving the sheep toward the pasture to the west.
Dugu Changfeng did not go to herd the sheep. He was in the lobby of the inn, holding Yu Linglong's hand tightly, and said happily: "Mom, Changfeng misses you so much! You finally came to see Changfeng!"
