Hearing what Tao Lingdong said, Song Mu just thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
If Tao Lingdong hadn't arrived in time this time, he would have been in trouble. But this time he was in Guangdong Province. This year, the demons in Guangdong Province counterattacked. Hearing that the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Wen Dynasty, Song Mu also wanted to take a look.
What a situation.
The Tao Sheng in front of him actually arrived here, which made Song Mu feel that the war might not be good. Moreover, the other party's implication was that he had something to tell him in detail, so Song Mu did not dare to disobey.
However, Song Mu still used his telekinesis first, found Cui Keke's body in the jungle, put it into the tourmaline, and left with Tao Sheng.
Along the way, the two of them were silent, and the mountains and rivers receded quickly under their feet. At some point, Song Mu saw a slightly rugged plain revealed among the winding mountains in front of him.
On the plain, a large city stood, but Song Mu recognized it. This was Nanwucheng, the capital of Guangdong Province.
The last time Song Mu stepped into the territory of Guangdong Province was twenty years ago, and twenty years later, when Song Mu saw Nanwu City again, it was another bloody battle.
But this time, the Nanwu City in front of them had a different and strange look.
Black smoke was rising all around the huge Nanwu City, and at this moment, the entire magnificent Nanwu City was shrouded in a black curtain.
A black curtain covered the entire city, as if half a strange black pearl was buried on the earth.
Outside the light barrier that enveloped Nanwu City, there were actually countless monsters surrounding it, and some literati wearing black robes could even be seen among them.
These monsters and barbarians, instead of pointing their troops into the city, turned their guns and pointed them outside the city.
Outside the city, on the vast plains, there were military formations. The sound of horns and drums sounded continuously. Rows of soldiers marched forward with shields. Many literati soldiers stepped out around them and launched attacks.
The human soldiers are actually attacking the city!
Song Mu was shocked when he saw this scene. He looked sideways at Tao Lingdong next to him. Tao Lingdong looked at the sky above Nanwu City, where two figures were revealed. At this moment
They all stared at Tao Lingdong closely.
Tao Lingdong suddenly asked Song Mu.
"Song Mu, what do you think the demon man intends to do by taking action?"
Song Mu looked thoughtful and said in a deep voice.
"Obviously, it's because our human race has been expanding in southern Xinjiang for many years. As for privately, the reason may be very complicated."
Tao Lingdong nodded, but then shook his head.
"Yes, because of the expansion of the Wen Dynasty, the demon barbarians had to take action, but no matter what, this time, it is completely different."
Song Mu looked unclear, but he also noticed something was wrong. Nanwu City in the distance was not in the hands of the human race. This was already incredible.
"We lost Nanwu City six months ago. In order to regain it, we organized three sieges, but still to no avail."
"There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Nanwu City."
Song Mu looked shocked. He had heard that the demon barbarians suddenly attacked, which caused a large number of people in southern Xinjiang to not evacuate in time. This also became the biggest constraint in the war in southern Xinjiang.
So this battle is to save the people there, but after half a year, the demons have blocked it, are the humans among them still alive?
This idea popped into Song Mu's mind, but Tao Lingdong continued.
"But these people are safe and sound so far. The monsters that broke into the city have not touched them. Even now, they are living a peaceful and even safe life."
"What?"
Song Mu's face froze when he heard this. This kind of situation was a strange thing that Song Mu had never heard of before.
"Not only that, going to the extreme south, there are many cities, just like what you see now."
"Those cities are all isolated cities, isolated by the devil's formation. The people have a stable life and have almost forgotten about the Wen Dynasty."
"Tao Sheng, this..."
Song Mu felt that he had not come back to his senses for a moment. What Tao Lingdong said at this moment seemed to be telling him that there were demons in the world who did not kill people.
"Huh, but we are just lambs in captivity to be slaughtered. Humans can gather literary talent by studying. Monsters see us as the best meat. Demons see us as a source of combat power. However, the barbarians are trying their best to replace us."
"The demons have learned to be smart. The human race has become bloody and resisted fiercely. If it goes away smoothly, it will become nothing more than fish in the future."
When these words came out of Tao Lingdong's mouth, the next moment he sighed, looked at Song Mu and asked.
"Song Mu, do you know what I mean by telling you this?"
"Please also ask Tao Sheng for advice."
Song Mu cupped his hands and said, but Tao Lingdong suddenly took Song Mu away towards the distance again.
Nanwucheng has gone far away. Song Mu was taken to high altitude by Tao Lingdong, and then fell into the clouds. The next moment, there were mountains and rivers in front of him, but Tao Lingdong pointed downwards and said.
"Song Mu, what did you see?"
Song Mu looked down and saw that it was a hidden mountain and river. A small mountain town was already in ruins. But at this moment, many figures could be seen around the city.
Those are all barbarians. At this moment, they are anxiously transporting food.
They emptied out this deserted city, harvested the surrounding rice, and headed further south with the grain.
Only then did Song Mu realize that he had not seen even half a barbarian under Nanwu City just now.
Song Mu raised his head and looked at Tao Lingdong. At this moment, Tao Lingdong also looked at Song Mu.
"Song Mu, your academic examination strategy is very good."
Tao Lingdong suddenly said such a word without beginning or end, and Song Mu was also stunned at this moment.
The policy article written by Song Mu was indeed shocking because of its cruel and cunning methods of controlling barbarians, which made people feel frightened when they read it.
That policy paper has not been published to this day and is a secret within the Wen Dynasty.
But at this moment, when he heard Tao Lingdong's words, Song Mu suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Yes, your policy has been implemented in southern Xinjiang since Chongwen's 30th year. Ke Yan highly appreciates your article."
“Finally today, the results are remarkable.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "During this battle, the barbarians openly participated in the war, but in fact they only focused on plundering food and trying to make up for the shortfalls they had suffered over the years."
Keyan is Tao Sheng's word.
Some complicated expressions flashed in Song Mu's eyes. He did this article spontaneously, but he didn't have too many expectations for it. When he heard Tao Sheng used it, he only felt that it might not be powerful enough in this strange world.
But Song Mu didn't expect that Tao Sheng would succeed in all this.
"In your article, you want to promote the cultivation of medicinal materials in all parts of southern Xinjiang, and even encourage barbarians to plant them. Medicinal materials are indeed what you said, they grow slowly and consume the power of the soil for a long time."
"Key words also help a lot. In the meantime, following what you said in your article also keeps the price of food in southern Xinjiang low."
"After more than ten years of hard work, this is what happened."
Tao Lingdong said this, pointing downward this time.
"In the past three years, the barbarian land has produced very little food, and it seems that they can no longer hold on. We have even been able to use food to force them to give in, but they were suddenly coerced by this monster, but the barbarians still dare not fight. It is not a war to participate in the war.
"
"Qi Wan and Lu Jin really went to war to attack him."
Tao Lingdong praised him for a few words, but Song Mu was thinking about the scene when he saw Nanwucheng just now, and he also spoke in confusion this time.
"But Tao Sheng, is Nanwu's current predicament something to do with this?"
"Of course."
Tao Lingdong stroked his beard, but this time a light flashed in his eyes.
"In the wars going back and forth in southern Xinjiang, demons, demons and barbarians must all contribute, but now, in the battle between demons and demons, the barbarians use the excuse of weakness to not contribute to the demons. This is because of something different in their hearts."
"If there are differences in the heart, there will be dissatisfaction. Now the only step is to turn against each other, and this step will have consequences in the near future."
"Song Mu. You haven't finished writing that policy paper, have you?"
When Tao Lingdong suddenly changed his words, Song Mudan raised his head suddenly, but quickly lowered his gaze.
It is true that I have not finished writing that article. In that policy statement, Song Mu's original intention was that the barbarians should be controlled and driven away to eat the wolves.
The next step is to separate the barbarians from the monsters, but this step is too far. I only wrote about using food and monsters as medicine...
But what Tao Lingdong said at this moment made Song Mu come back to his senses. In the eyes of this great scholar of the Wen Dynasty, his southern Xinjiang policy was the best policy, and he even admired it.
"I won't hide it from you. Your Majesty will personally supervise the battle, and the results will come tomorrow. As for the barbarian strategy, both Your Majesty and Keyan said that the results will be in your hands."
"Song Mu, I would like to ask you, what is the next step in the strategy of governing southern Xinjiang?"
