Chapter 1020 Fascinated
If it was an ordinary girl, she would definitely refute Princess Yi's statement, even if she pretended to do so, she would refute it, intending to get rid of it, but Princess Huang didn't pay attention to this at all, "In terms of force alone, can the emperor really be stronger than you?" â
"Huh?" Tianying was a little surprised to hear this title, you must know that Princess Huang is the princess of the Northern Empire, regardless of whether the two sides are in a state of hostility or not, there should only be one emperor in her mind - that is the Great Emperor of the North, and even other emperors of the four directions should not be called "Great Emperor", and now she actually calls Tianren "Great Emperor", which means that Tianren's status in her mind is already very high, "Compare me with the Great Emperor?" Isn't that a comparison with the bright moon with fireflies? He is not only my emperor, but also my brother and my father, everything I know comes from him, how can I compare with him? â
"You're talking about the disparity in status, right?" "I mean real force, not any flattery. â
"I wasn't meant to be a compliment," Celestial Shadow said, "that's the truth. â
"The limit of a human martial artist is the fourth order, you have reached this level, you won't sue me that he has far exceeded this, right?" Princess Huang was a little excited.
"The limits of human warriors?" Tianying shook his head, "The Great Emperor and I don't think that the peak of the fourth order is the limit of human martial artists, what human beings lack is just time, from the perspective of the entire history of the birth of human beings, not only is the time far less than the three races of the Demon Dao Buddha, but also less than the demon race, and those who learn the exercises of the three clans of the Demon Dao Buddha are also classified into the category of these three races, which leads to the fact that the human race does not have its own inheritance, which is even more prominent when coupled with the longevity of the human race." â
"You're saying that the limit doesn't actually exist zĂ i?"
"Of course," Tianying said, "In fact, all living beings are equal, the Demon Dao Buddha can have 1-10 levels, of course the human race can also have it, the limit you said, the emperor himself has not only broken through a long time ago, but also is about to let Marshal Taishan break through, you also know, 1, 4, 7 are the three levels, breaking through four, which means that you can reach the sixth order, right?" â
Princess Huang couldn't help but get excited, you know, this is too big for a general. Although at her age, she would not feel the threat of a bottleneck like those predecessors, but when she thought of breaking through that hurdle and truly standing on the top of the human race, she couldn't help but get excited, "What about you?" You are also the peak of the fourth order, why didn't you break through? â
"What does it mean that there is no breakthrough yet?" Celestial Shadow smiled, "I'm not a person who specializes in martial arts, and I'm already very satisfied to be able to reach my current strength at this age." â
"I'm a person who has devoted myself to martial arts," Princess Huang said, "In this case, I will have a chance to break through the fifth order?" â
"Of course, it's just that you have to figure it out, your current status is a prisoner of war, and the country you belong to is hostile to the Northern Plains, and Your Majesty has no reason to help you break through any bottleneck."
The excitement on Princess Huang's face dissipated somewhat, "According to what Yi said, the ultimate goal of the Great Emperor is to unify the human race to expel the Demon Dao Buddha, if this is the goal, there is no reason why I should not sacrifice my strength." It's just that I can't do anything to my own people, and I can't sit idly by and watch someone kill innocents indiscriminately, not only my countrymen but also people from other countries. â
"Your Majesty is not a person who loves to kill," Sky Shadow was surprised by the change in Princess Huang's attitude, "Generally speaking, those who are willing to surrender can choose to fight for the empire or redeem themselves as slaves as long as they are not killed, and even if they are willing to fight for the empire, the empire will not choose to let them attack their homeland to show their loyalty." â
"Then there will be no problem," said the princess, getting on her horse and heading for the large number of Northern Empire prisoners of war who had thrown away their weapons. Under normal circumstances, the Celestial Shadow should stop this behavior, what are you kidding, it is a prisoner of war, of course the soldiers of the prisoner of war cannot be together, and the prisoner of war without command has no strength at all, but what about it? That's the army.
However, Celestial Shadow did not stop her, because he felt confident that Phoenix's past was not to encourage the prisoners of war to resist.
Of course, Huang didn't have that thought, and as soon as she passed, she first found her own personal guards and let them protect the feelings of the prisoners of war. You must know that the number of prisoners of war is also very large, no less than 60,000, and even more than the Beiyuan Army, and the risk of being escorted back to Beizhong is very great, but once there is discipline, it will be different. Don't look at Huang's personal guards are all female soldiers, but this force is not a simple force, Huang, sure enough, is a general who leads the troops.
The news of the victory in Surabaya quickly spread back, and on their way back, they were greeted by Princess Leng Yanya, and she couldn't help but nod when she saw such a neat team of prisoners of war.
It's been more than a month since I left Beizhong, and I don't feel much change here from when they left, it's just that there is a big platform outside the next stone's throw from Beizhong City, and I can't see what it's for, Princess Yi is a little puzzled.
"That," said Princess Ya, "it's a guillotine, we are trapped in the twelve cities of Beizhong, and we have blocked the communication between them, and we have to watch our supplies get less and less day by day, which makes the northern army panic all day long, some city lords have chosen the method of assault outward, but the assault of this scale cannot form a joint force, and it is vulnerable in front of our army, and the so-called elites who came out have been wiped out by us." In order to break their morale, the captured generals were beheaded here. In the next few days, the other cities were basically exhausted to deal with the soldiers' rations, and two more cities took the risk and attacked the city, so two more city lords were beheaded there, and now two of the twelve cities in the north belong to the north plain. â
Princess Yi looked at Princess Huang, whose face had not changed, and said, "Actually, it's nothing, the emperor did this to undermine morale and make them surrender early, so as not to cause more casualties in the battle, which is a good strategy." â
"So what does North Midtown rely on?" Princess Huang didn't hear what she said, but continued to ask, "Although Beizhong City is a big granary, there should be more people trapped here, right?" â
"The people of Beizhong City were expelled from the city and became our slaves, so their rations can last for a long time." Princess Ya said colorlessly, in the Northern Plains, it is very normal for the vanquished side to become a slave on the victor's side.
"Well, that's a good plan," murmured the princess, "so the casualties of the people are not great?" â
"That's not it, when the people were driven out of the city, there was a massacre inside, and those who didn't want to leave the city were killed, and there were always one or two hundred thousand people, right?" "And it's a good thing that other cities haven't followed suit." â
"Ah, why do you say that?" Princess Huang was a little strange.
"If we do this, these people will become a burden to our Northern Plains Army, and saving food for the Northern Army will make the war drag on indefinitely, and the Emperor will not be able to agree. So if someone followed suit, people would be forbidden to leave the city. The battle in Beizhong City can't be too long, which is why the emperor used the method of killing people to reduce the morale inside. â
"So it seems that it would be better for the army inside to surrender sooner." â
Princess Huang nodded silently, "Since you have captured two cities, the Great Emperor should be in one of them?" â
"Of course not," replied Princess Ya, "taking two cities does not mean that you can enjoy yourself, and the Emperor is now in the great tent ahead." â
(Some of Tianren's tactical responses are very powerful in the eyes of Princess Huang, and in her opinion, she can't do better, so she is a little fascinated by him, and asks about him on the way.) ďź
