Chapter 5510: Grace and power combined with amnesty
The black robe also laughed, and the two people's laughter echoed in the secret room. Amidst these laughter, the ancestor sighed softly, which made the two people stop laughing again and looked at Ancestor, Heipao said: "Is there anything wrong with this guess? Disciple, please ask Ancestor to clarify."
The ancestor said calmly: "If it is true as you said, Wu Yinzhi came back to Guangzhou for revenge, then after taking the city of Guangzhou, the families who faced Tianshi Dao were mainly concentrated in the city, and there were thousands of them. In this case, even if Shen Tianzi's army is not sent north, these Tianshi Dao family members must be killed first. Why bother to send troops north to Shixing? There, the Beifu army going south from Jingzhou area will be pursued. Just the troops will do."
"Another point is that when Guangzhou City was just captured, dozens of barbarian tribes outside Guangzhou City sent people to pledge their allegiance and expressed their willingness to lead the way to clear out the surrounding Black Eagle Tribe and White Wolf Tribe who supported the Celestial Master Dao. At that time, even Lu Gu and other leaders of Guangzhou Tianshi Tao who escaped were hiding in these tribes. As long as they sent out troops, these tribes could be wiped out in ten months. If these tribes were really eliminated, The dozens of tribes leading the way are completely on Wu Yinzhi's side. With their combined strength of 30,000 to 40,000 warriors, even if thousands of Lu Xun's remnant soldiers come, they still cannot defeat him."
"So, what you said about Wu Yinzhi waiting for the situation to change before taking revenge doesn't make sense. When he captured Guangzhou, he came from the sea and didn't know what the battle was like outside, let alone the thunder pool. , Xu Daofu and Lu Xun escaped separately after the Battle of Zuoli, and they would not know where Lu Xun fled from, how many troops he had, and how far away they were from him. If he wanted revenge, or even to protect himself after the surprise attack on Guangzhou, To ensure the safety of Guangzhou City and the peace of the surrounding areas, the Tianshi Dao who has regained his senses will not be able to counterattack. He should hunt down the Tianshi Dao family members in the city and eliminate several large tribes of the Tianshi Dao side outside the city. This is the way to go. That's what he should do."
Doupeng said thoughtfully: "So, Wu Yinzhi really wanted to resolutely carry out Liu Yu's order of only killing the culprits and never asking about threats, but he just let go of the murder of his son and massacre of the people. Do you hate it?"
The ancestor nodded: "This is Liu Yu's interests. He must have done a lot of work before letting Wu Yinzhi come. Tell him when will the grudges be repaid, kill his son, massacre The people were ordered by Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, and those who carried out the orders were mostly Sanwu old thieves. During the years in Lingnan, Tianshi Dao recruited a large number of ordinary people and tribesmen from Han and barbarians to form an army. If he goes to Lingnan and attacks these people, not only will he not avenge his son and the people, but he will create a lot of unnecessary hatred and make enemies of the locals in Lingnan."
"When the army is here, these local people may only endure hatred and dare not resist, but if the world changes or the army withdraws, then these people will definitely look for opportunities to take revenge. In this way, Lingnan will be unstable for a long time and repeatedly The land fell into a situation where the army retreated, the locals rebelled, and the officials were killed. Then the army came back to suppress the rebellion, slaughtering all directions, and forged more hatred. Then the army retreated again, and the locals rebelled again. This way, they fell into endless vendettas, which lasted for a long time. If there is no way to resolve it, we must either kill all the locals or give up this place."
“When Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, pacified Nanzhong, he used the method of conquering the enemy without fighting. Attacking the city was the bottom and the heart was the top. After many captures, he released the rebel leader Meng Huo and his men. He would rather have more
Fight a few battles and sacrifice more generals
The soldiers also tried their best not to cause large-scale massacre and resentment in Nanzhong, and finally succeeded in making the barbarian soldiers and civilians in Nanzhong surrender heartily. By the end of the Shu Han Dynasty, this place would no longer become the source of rebellion. This is to attack the heart.
The result.”
"Wu Yinzhi's son died at the hands of Tianshi Dao. The targets of revenge are the thieves Lu Xun, Xu Daofu and the three Wu old thieves. Liu Yu will kill these people to the end, but on a large scale
The generals and officers who were coerced into obeying Liu Yu were pardoned, which has been implemented in his current order.
OK, Guangzhou is the home base of Tianshi Tao, but most of the Tianshi Taoists and their families here are locals who were recruited after Lu Xunxu Daofu captured Guangzhou. They have no grudges against Wu Yinzhi for what happened last time.
"Taking them out will not only increase unnecessary hatred, but will also not help the cause of reunification."
"But on the other hand, if these people are pardoned, especially if Wu Yinzhi, who everyone thinks has a blood feud with Tianshi Tao and will not fight to the death, comes to handle the pardon, it will make the entire Han Yi people in Lingnan, even the black ones, come to process the pardon."
Rebellious tribes such as the Eagle Tribe and the White Wolf Tribe
The ordinary tribesmen are relieved and no longer worry about being implicated. Not only will they not follow Tianshi Dao to the end, but they may also take the initiative to capture and kill Tianshi Dao’s leaders, chiefs and their tribes
The main party members are showing their loyalty in exchange for pardon."
Doupeng sighed: "Ancestor is really wise, what he said is so good. It seems that this is indeed a development trend. However, Wu Yinzhi has not issued this amnesty order now, and is still hunting and killing people in Guangzhou.
The remaining forces of Tianshi Dao are even preparing to unite with some other tribes to attack the White Wolf Tribe, Black Eagle Tribe and other more than a dozen rebel groups. This is somewhat different from what you said."
The ancestor said calmly: "That's because Lu Xun has just boarded the boat and escaped. There should be a lot of informants lurking there, as well as the wounded and their families who were too late to evacuate. They are scattered in various places, especially among the rebel tribes. These tribes have not taken the initiative to make peace with each other.
The remnants of the rebels who came out of Tianshi Dao are still gathering in the mountains and forests, preparing to resist. They certainly cannot be pardoned at this time. They can only be attacked when the army suppresses them.
When they are in a situation where they will perish if they don't surrender, they will be forced to take the initiative to kill or sacrifice the rebel members and leaders of their headquarters in order to survive. Applying both kindness and power is the way to achieve long-term peace and stability. If you only know how to forgive and not kill,
This will only make them rebel again if they have the opportunity in the future, and even those other tribes who lead the way and surrender will not take the government seriously."
"So, I expect that Wu Yinzhi will wait for these tribes to take the initiative to send troops and lead the way to siege and attack the rebellious tribes. Only then will Wu Yinzhi and Sun Chu lead the officers and soldiers to the formation, and the amnesty order will also be issued during the siege
When these tribes are attacked, or after they are conquered and destroyed, the amnesty will only work in this case!" (End of Chapter)
