Chapter 1803 General's Mansion
Who is Tu Li? He is a martial artist, a man who only knows how to fight and not govern. He doesn't know how to deal with this matter in this way, so he called a slave under his jurisdiction, Chen Qiu.
Chen Qiu gave him two opinions and asked Tu Li to choose himself. One was to appropriately reduce the taxes in the ninth province and appease the people. The other was to suppress them by force. Otherwise, he could only follow the opinions of those who advised him and reduce the number of some slaves accordingly.
Tu Li is a martial artist after all. He always felt that the method of comforting the people such as reducing tax burdens or reducing the number of slaves was often a sign of retreat, which would lose the face of the provincial general's mansion. In the end, he used the method of suppressing force. In fact, Chen Qiu had already told him that if it was suppressed force, it might cause a greater rebound, but Tu Li ignored it.
The forceful suppression did force the protesters away. I thought the matter would be settled, but unexpectedly, less than half a month later, a considerable number of protesters at that time actually took up weapons, went into the mountains to become traitors, and even killed two local law enforcement officers who blocked them.
The matter is very big, and it is understandable that foreigners are rebels. After all, they are not of our race and their hearts will be different. The demons have become accustomed to this kind of thing, but it is different for people from the same race to become rebels. The entire Ninth Province thinks that this is his fault, and he dares to be angry and dare not speak out.
It was at this time that a larger rebel from the Fantasy Feathers in the Ninth Province gave Tuli another blow, gathered people, captured two small cities, and slaughtered many demons. Although Tuli later arranged a large army, not only took back the two small cities, but also chased the Fantasy Feathers rebels for tens of thousands of miles, and now they have chased to the border area.
In Tu Li's opinion, this fantasy feathered thief has become a turtle in the jar. As soon as his order is issued, the heads of those people will have to be put to the ground. Since that is the case, why not do some articles in it?
Although he knew that he could do some articles on it, how to do it and how to do it better was a too complicated question for him. If he thought about it himself, it would be nothing more than falsely reporting the number of this gang, seeking credit from the superiors, and asking for more military resources from the central government. That's all, but if this kind of thing is left to Chen Qiu to do, it seems that there is a more ideal idea.
Not to mention that Tu Li has not made any progress in the past few years of management of the Ninth Province. Although he still looks like a martial artist and doesn't know how to better manage his jurisdiction, he now has a keener intuition than before. The intuition tells him that he should listen to Chen Qiu's idea for this matter.
"Hmph, you don't need to teach me how to do things. Since I am a deputy general, I have to obey my general and hurry up and find Chen Qiu!"
Tu Li's brows sternly, the chill dissipated, and he was really angry.
Tu Pi didn't dare to say more, so he could only go to find Chen Qiu.
After a little while, Chen Qiu walked in.
Chen Qiu was originally a member of Ziyang Great Six. Ziyang Great Six is a not-so-large 6 around. His true energy is not as rich as the Nebula Realm. It was destroyed by the demons very early. Most of Ziyang Great Six were killed in the war, and only a very small number of people were captured and returned to the demons and rushed to become slaves.
Chen Qiu is one of these slaves, but Chen Qiu himself is very smart. Even if he is a slave, he can get along well with everything and his life is not difficult. Later, he was attracted by Tu Li and became Tu Li's private slave. He also had a special status. Tu Li not only allowed Chen Qiu to practice to extend his life, but also often followed Chen Qiu's opinions to govern.
As for the entire Demon Clan, not many people can do as a slave to Chen Qiu.
"Uh, I actually have the cultivation of the Tribulation Period. Chen Qiu's cultivation talent really makes me look at me with admiration. If I were a demon clan, I could transform into a human form at this level and be called a strong man!" Tu Li praised at first, but soon, his eyes changed and he became a little cold and said: "After the Tribulation Period, his life span has been extended for a long time. You can serve me for a few more years. It's enough, that's all!"
The meaning in Tu Li's words is very obvious. Chen Qiu, your cultivation level is almost done, and it's time to stop. In other words, from today on, Chen Qiu's power to practice will be deprived.
Although Tu Li trusted Chen Qiu very much, he was far from reaching the level of complete trust. After all, it was a human being. Tu Li was still guarded against him. He didn't want to see that Chen Qiu one day became a strong man in the spiritual realm and broke away from his control.
From beginning to end, he only thought Chen Qiu was a special slave and could give him advice. But no matter how special he was, he was also a slave.
"Abide by the general's orders, and the general's permission to practice until the tribulation period is a great kindness for me. How could I still have extravagant wishes!" Chen Qiuxian was very respectful.
"Well, you humans are just listening!" Tu Li exclaimed and immediately said, "Tu Gao, Tu Ming and his two armies have forced Zuo Ran to the border, and the rebels have nowhere to hide. What do you think will be done next?"
Just talk to your own slaves without turning around and asking straight to the point.
"Oh!" Chen Qiu's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "The general's troops are indeed elite. He has pushed Zuo Ran into a dead end so quickly. I am really impressed!"
Tu Li seemed to be very helpful, and smiled slightly, without saying anything, waiting for Chen Qiu to continue talking.
The human race's heads are always alive. Some things they can't think of, but humans can think of, which is why, Tu Li took Chen Qiu as a private slave and treated him quite well. He was rarely abused by his master like most slaves, and was worse than pigs and dogs.
"I wonder if the general wants the result is better for the demons or the most beneficial to you?" Chen Qiu chuckled.
"Oh, is there any difference!" Tu Li asked.
"If it is the former, then the general will directly order it to be slaughtered, and then expose Zuo Ran's body for three months to serve as a warning! If it is the latter, then there is really something to do here that can solve the current general's urgent needs!"
Tu Li was stunned at first, thinking about whether his biggest urgent need was that there were demons in his territory soon rebelling. If this matter was spread to the central province, I wonder how many people would ban the bad words of my post in front of the prince. Fortunately, he handled it in time and blocked the news quickly.
However, it is not a big deal to continue like this. As long as those demon traitors exist for one day, this matter will sooner or later be passed on to the central province. They can be concealed for a while but not for a lifetime.
After Chen Qiu finished speaking, he closed his mouth in time and looked around. Tu Li naturally knew what Chen Qiu meant, and said to Tu Pi and several other deputy generals: "You go out first..."
Tu Pi and the others were so angry that in recent years, the generals believed Chen Qiu's words better than them, making them have no good feelings for Chen Qiu, but they had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
"You can say anything directly!" Tu Li said.
"General, I think that if you kill Zuo Ran's group of Fantasy Feather Rebels like this, you will naturally make a contribution, but the contribution is not great enough. Besides, if there is a devil rebellion in front of you, you will at most be able to defeat your merits and demerits! If so..."
"What if?" Tu Li asked.
"Hehe, after all, Zuo Ran's group of people are not famous enough and not hated enough. If you use some means to make Zuo Ran's group of people more hateful, and even itchy teeth that make the entire demons hate him. If you want to get rid of it, then you will try to catch Zuo Ran and the others in one go. Will it be better? Will your merits and fame be greater?" Chen Qiu chuckled, and a hint of cunning and viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Tu Li didn't let Chen Qiu go, and he would have his own considerations. Looking back on Chen Qiu's words, he couldn't help but feel that he was right. Now Zuo Ran's group of people are at most a small group of traitors. There are hundreds of such traitors on the Big 6. Even if they are destroyed, it doesn't make much sense, and it won't increase much prestige and merit.
But if Zuo Ran and others are more famous and hateful before destroying them, then they will naturally have more credit if they get rid of them.
Anyway, they are now surrounded by their two armies and cannot escape at all. To destroy them, they only need to give their own orders.
"How to make them more hateful and more famous?" Tu Li frowned slightly.
"Simple! Aren't they surrounded by the border now? Just imagine, if they were surrounded and killed all the demons on the border and slaughtered several small villages, how much the nobles would hate them from top to bottom!" Chen Qiu said while observing Tu Li's expression, showing great caution.
"Uh..." Tu Li felt that he smelled a bloody smell at the heavy resonance of Chen Qiu's words, but he liked it, but it was simple to say it, but it was not easy to do it. He couldn't help asking: "But how can Zuo Ran and the others really attack the demons in the small village as we wish?"
"This..." Chen Qiu cursed in his heart. He was so simple that he really had to say it clearly.
"It may not be necessary that they really do this. They just need to kill ordinary people from the lower class of demons. And people think that it is theirs. Does the general understand?" Chen Qiu continued.
Even if Tu Li was stupid, he understood it and said in surprise: "What do you mean, slaughter the demons in the small villages on the border, and then blame Zuo Ran's Fantasy Feather Rebels?"
Outside the house, Zhizhi's ear heard Tu Li's words and couldn't help but shivered, and said in his heart that it was so cruel.
Tu Pi knew that Tu Li would not refuse this proposal because Tu Li understood that doing so was the most beneficial to him. Once this matter happened, the rebellion of the demons before would be overwhelmed by huge hatred, and the people's eyes would be diverted. Tu Li not only overcome the difficulties, but also felt that he would be swept the thief.
But, this is also an opportunity for you, it depends on whether you can grasp it.
