Chapter 285: Tactical Retreat

Zhou Yu, who returned to the camp, was always sullen, not entirely because Danzig, the strategic internal response he had designed, was poisoned by the Huanyu faction, but also because he learned and once again confirmed the power of the fire switch.

"Diao Silkworm, Songhe, how did I do with asking you to organize the retreat of civilians before?"

The Metropolitan Governor couldn't wait to name a few people and hold a small meeting.

"I'll tell you, Director. The pace of progress is somewhat slow, and after living in cities and villages for a long time, these people are reluctant to leave their homes and businesses to flee for their lives, especially those who are elderly. Although we are promised to compensate with a generous chestnut, there are not enough people who are willing to hide underground, not enough... ”

"How much?"

Zhou Yu looked at Diao Silkworm and asked anxiously.

"Less than a third of them."

"What about the Wings? Elder Songhe. ”

"The situation of the Wing Clan is similar to that of the Zerg, and in some of the larger cities such as Butterfly City, there are not even a third of the people who are willing to pay for it. They would rather believe that the darkness above their heads will be broken and the sun will shine in than that of the end times. ”

In order to coax the people of Dubancia to obey the guidance, the Governor willingly hides in the underground network drawn by Cathy's puzzle and fabricates a story of the apocalypse. He had high hopes for this white lie, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

"Serra, Crush, Python?"

The eyes and expressions that the three people gave back to Zhou Yu were almost carved out of a mold, lost and helpless.

"That's what you do?"

Zhou Yu rarely reprimanded his subordinates very harshly, but this time he was really angry. If it is the pressure given from above, the middle-level leader can choose to carry it himself, or he can choose to conduct the pressure and transfer it to his subordinates. But this is not the way the Metropolitan Governor does things, and he rarely makes excessive demands on his subordinates.

If you can do it, you will ask your subordinates to do so. If you can't do it yourself, you won't even open your mouth. However, what made him angry was that at present, this is a major matter of human life, the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as piercing the sky. However, from the faces of the few people present, he could not see the attitude of worrying about the country and the people.

"Do you think that your family is hiding anyway, and others love it? It has nothing to do with us. ”

"Grand Duke, we...

"Shut up!"

As soon as the broken horseshoe crab opened its mouth, it was scolded back by Zhou Yu, and he sat on the chair, not daring to look directly at his angry eyes anymore.

"Python, who are we fighting this battle for?"

"Well, according to what you said, it's for the people."

"I am surprised that you did not have a concept of the word "people" before it was mentioned to you, but instead it was the people. The people are those who provide for the ruling class like their grandsons; And the word "people" means that you must first be an upright person and then you can serve the people. If the power of life and death is in the hands of others, can it be called the people? ”

Several people lowered their heads, they naturally ended Zhou Yu's temperament, and they would never abandon others for their own selfish interests.

"Didn't we unify our minds before? You have also expressed your desire to restore the light and freedom of Dubancia, and to let the people who live here live and work in peace and contentment, and reunite mothers and children. ”

"My lord, we—we did our best."

Songhe relied on his old age and a little thin face in his plain life, and hurriedly came out to suppress Zhou Yu's anger.

"Elder, I'm not angry elsewhere, I'm angry that you can do better, but you're always lazy and lazy. Don't you have soldiers in your hands? What are soldiers for? It is necessary to mobilize at a critical moment and serve the will of the state, and it is not established for the purpose of intrigue, smashing, looting, and burning. If the people don't leave, they will be detained and driven away, and they will not understand it at this time, but one day they will understand that you are really doing this for their good. ”

"I'll just say it once, and I'll pass it on right away. Tesla, you remember, I will rearrange the task today, and everyone here will quickly convey it in place, implement it to the people, and take care of the households, and I want to see the results. The number of people who circumvent must reach more than 80 percent of the total number, otherwise no matter what the patriarch of the clan is, don't do it. I'll swap him out right away. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Slave society, who has heard of replacing your patriarch? The ruling class, who has always been the one who decides the life and death of others, is not frightened when they suddenly hear that their position is unstable, their bloodline is unstable, their power is unstable, and their life is even unstable?

However, Zhou Yu is not talking nonsense, the combination of the Pari army and the rebel army in his hand is more than enough to destroy any force, even the alliance of the five clans. Even if Ping Suli prides himself on having an extraordinary personal relationship with the Metropolitan Governor, Diao Silkworm doesn't dare to make a mistake at this moment, he doesn't dare to raise his head, his small eyes glance at both sides, and he sighs and doesn't dare to answer.

"I said, everyone, if you don't take the people seriously today, the people won't take you seriously one day. Isn't the example in front of us alive and bloody? Why did the Cuo Ling family fall into today's field, isn't it because he is in collusion with the Fire King, and he is in cahoots, and the people are prey? ”

"Take this as a warning, and don't dig your own grave. Today's words are not good, but I hope that they can be exchanged for the admiration of thousands of generations and all people. ”

"Yes, the Metropolitan Governor has taught him a lesson."

Songhe was the first to stand up and make a statement, and the others followed suit, and immediately went out to arrange and convey it to the scouts of various clans.

"Wait, I have one more proposal. Goshawk! ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

"Do you know this chief princess?"

"Of course I know."

"She was the one who came to persuade her to surrender just now."

"The last general heard others mention it, like her temperament."

"Tell me what this chief princess is coming from."

The goshawk frowned, and stopped talking. Zhou Yu looked at him embarrassed and slightly displeased.

"If you say it, you just say, when did the mother-in-law and mother-in-law do it? This is a wartime, an extraordinary time, and there is absolutely no concealment of one thing to say. ”

"Well, okay. This chief princess is the most favored of Cuo Ling's daughters, and all the other daughters have been used by him to give the brains of foreign races and dedicate the Fire King, except for her. ”

"Oh? Is there anything special about her? ”

"It is said that the eldest princess is the only one who has returned from the city of Slaughter Dreams but retains some of her memories, and she also has unique views and insights on astronomy, calendar, human ethics, history, and technology. Some of the things that govern the country are that even Cuo Ling has to consult this daughter. ”

"Uh, I'm really impressed that that old miscellaneous hair can give birth to such a talented daughter."

"Yes, there are also rumors that the eldest princess is not the blood of Cuo Ling at all. Rather, rather... ”

"And what? Don't you sell it, your eyebrows are burning, can't you be concise and straight to the point? ”

"And she is the one sent by the Lord of Destruction to take over the mantle of the spirit."

"Huh? That's weird. ”

If so, Huanyu is not negotiating on behalf of her father, and there may be the instructions of the Lord of Destruction, which is similar to Cathy's appearance. Zhou Yu fell into deep thought.

In Kuzsia, there is a first generation of Nika, who does not hesitate to oppose Stormcatcher in order to make a revolution; There is a second generation of Nika in Dubancia, who has gathered rebels to resist tyranny for hundreds of years in order to overthrow the oppressive rule of Cuolin; In Dixia, there is Cathy, who stirs up huge waves and even storms and fires for the sake of trouble; And now, there is another high-rise and empowered princess, who is named the successor to the sky.

Could it be that all these Destroyers are known, acquiesced, and manipulated? If it's not a big conspiracy, the ghosts don't believe it.

"That's not all, what's even more bizarre is that she has a strange ruler in her hand."

"Well, go on, I've seen that ruler."

Zhou Yu's mind returned to the dark and cold ruler an hour ago.

"It's all rumors, my lord. It is said that the ruler is one of the sacred relics of Shenbingkan, and it is called the jealous ruler. It is said that the ruler can open the door to heaven in Tumeng City, and I don't know if it's true or not. But I guess it's fake, if there is such an artifact, how can it be reduced to Dubancia? The Lord of Destruction still doesn't send heavy troops to defend it, as if he were facing a great enemy? ”

Open the door to heaven?

What's inside?

Can Samanda and Nika in Nether Valley be recovered? Can you bring the members of the Sky Shattering Alliance back to the underworld?

This can't help but trigger Zhou Yu's infinite reverie.

"And what about the relationship between this eldest princess and Cuo Ling?"

"I don't know about this general, and I am also ordered to carry it out, and I don't know much about those interpersonal and personnel matters. I heard from others that Cuo Ling cared about the eldest princess, and basically said the same. ”

If so, the situation at hand will have to be reassessed. First, Huan Yu came to "order" herself to withdraw her troops, although in the end the unhappy parting turned into a condemnation, but judging from her free access, it at least shows one point: there is still room for maneuver in the affairs of Tianyin City, and Cuo Ling may not be a word of words.

Second, Cathy's reminder is not groundless, and it is very likely that the Fire King is preparing to move in the central passage, preparing to carry out a powerful blow to Dubancia. Zhou Yu guessed that the reason why he was delayed was waiting for an opportunity: if Cuo Ling was defeated and Du Ban changed the sky, he was likely to kill the killer, re-cultivate a force, and turn the massacre into a major reshuffle, which should also be reasonable.

Third, if he takes Tianyin City now, not only will all the people suffer, but it is more likely that he will do Huo Wang Chi a great favor, you must know that the best way to treat a patient whose blood is bad to the bone marrow is to exchange blood for the whole body. The person who really laughed was definitely not himself or a few people here.

"Withdraw!"

Zhou Yu clenched his fists and slammed them on the table.

"What did you say, sir?"

Several people stood up at the same time, looking at the gloomy commander of the three armies in front of them in a daze.

"My lord, now the situation is very good, the first battle was won, the goshawk came to vote, and successfully instigated the military and civilians in Tianyin City to defect, but they want to withdraw the army? Why? ”

"I said, withdraw the troops!"

Zhou Yu didn't tell everything he analyzed, after all, there were many clues that only he could connect together, and some of them came from the premonition and speculation of a person who had been in the world for a long time.

"Don't stop the transfer of people, not only don't stop, but also accelerate, strengthen, and increase the weight. At the same time, the whole army immediately began to move forward and tactically retreated for 50 miles. ”
