Absolutely right!
Zhou Xing was like a worm in Ning Fan's stomach.
Through the intelligence he could obtain, he had already grasped all of Ning Fan's thoughts.
It can be said that Zhou Xing is indeed a talented person.
If he were in the lower city, he would probably be one of Ning Fan's core members now.
However, this still couldn't bring any surprise to Ning Fan.
You know, Ning Fan has no shortage of smart people at his disposal.
What he lacks is a general!
No matter how accurate Zhou Xing's ability was, he could not provide Ning Fan with any essential help.
There is a huge difference between adding icing on the cake and providing timely assistance.
And what Zhou Xing said next made Ning Fan's evaluation of him improve again.
"Mr. Ning, in my opinion, you are not a bloodthirsty person."
Zhou Xingjiang slowed down his tone.
From the moment he entered the room, he controlled the rhythm of the conversation very well, neither impatient nor anxious, yet able to stir up emotions from time to time.
"This can be seen from your previous attitude towards other cities and your subsequent handling of the incident."
"Plus, you haven't allowed your troops to enter Luoyue City so far, simply because you don't want to cause a big commotion."
"And I, from the bottom of my heart, hope to follow a wise leader who has ambitions but is not cruel."
"From what I see now, you should be such a person."
"So, back to the question, you want to use war to release the anger in the soldiers' hearts, but you don't want to be too cruel..."
“That’s a paradox in itself.”
Zhou Xing narrowed his eyes gradually: "You want to suppress their anger and then release it when it's time to do so!"
Ning Fan's expression finally changed.
If everything Zhou Xing said before was possibly information he had discovered, then now...
This is a conclusion that can only be reached through your own analysis!
Because Ning Fan had never told anyone his true thoughts.
That's right.
Ning Fan seems to be planning to lead this team to an easy victory, but what is his actual approach?
Chen Yu arranged for people to intercept and kill Ning Fan on the road, and even Chen Xin wanted to kill him in the name of Chen Yu.
But how did Ning Fan do it?
He entered the city alone and spared Chen Xin.
Did he massacre the city?
No.
This is completely different from the attitude he showed when he went to war.
Let’s talk about Zhou Xing’s Wangchun City.
Ning Fan waited for him for two days!
From the beginning to the end, although Ning Fan brought a large number of troops, he did not actually attack any city.
Even if this city showed enough malice towards him.
Zhou Xing keenly captured this point!
"Mr. Ning, if I'm not mistaken, before you encounter truly strong resistance, you intend to adopt the most 'gentle' attitude to 'conquer' the places you pass through."
Zhou Xing lowered his voice: "And you intend to save the hostility of those soldiers for the real enemy!"
If the resentment is suppressed, it will continue to ferment.
And when the hostility is suppressed to a certain extent, the fighting power that the soldiers burst out...
It will multiply!
This is Ning Fan’s real thought.
He was unable to fully control the army.
Then he would act as if he were moving forward with a bomb.
He knew that the closer he got to the summit, the stronger the resistance would be.
When I actually met the supporters of Diancheng...
Ning Fan comes again to detonate this bomb!
This is the only solution.
It is also the best way Ning Fan can think of at the moment.
Ning Fan smiled.
"If you had spread this speculation to my team in advance, perhaps... my rear would have been in chaos."
This is not an exaggeration.
The number of troops Ning Fan currently controls has a certain deterrent effect on the entire Upper City.
But at the same time, there is also the risk of it exploding at any time and injuring yourself.
The morale of this team is already somewhat weakened. If we give them some shocking news at this time...
Ning Fan really couldn't control himself.
It is difficult to control people's hearts, let alone millions of people.
Everyone has independent thinking and ideas.
It is impossible for them to be controlled by Ning Fan like machines.
Once the rear is unstable, let alone attacking Diancheng, perhaps even Xu Jiang's side will not be able to fight steadily.
Therefore, the results of Zhou Xing speaking out all his speculations in front of Ning Fan and spreading them secretly were absolutely polarized.
"But Wangchun City is gone too..."
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ning, the first thing I can confirm is that there is no hatred between us."
"I admit that the people in the upper city look down on the people in the lower city, and even don't regard them as the same kind. This idea does exist."
"But this has been the consensus of all the people of Upper City for hundreds of years, not our own hostility towards you."
"And now that you've brought the people from the lower city up here, I think we should start to change our thinking."
"It's just that this will take time. During this process, I'm at a disadvantage, so naturally I have to show more sincerity."
"Perhaps I can spread my speculation and influence your troops. But even if you lose your troops, destroying our Wangchun City... shouldn't be difficult."
"Acting on impulse is foolish. What is the most reasonable approach for me as a king... well, the city lord needs to consider it."
Ning Fan received this token of loyalty.
From the moment Zhou Xing met Ning Fan, everything he said was actually to ultimately prove one thing.
I am very sober.
Only in this way can he gain Ning Fan's trust.
In reality, it's difficult.
It is almost a fantasy for people in the upper city and the lower city to build trust in a short period of time.
But Zhou Xing did it.
This was the expression he had been preparing for two sleepless days.
"City Lord Zhou, I hope we can get along happily in the future."
Ning Fan finally made Zhou Xing feel at ease.
Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief without concealing it.
"Mr. Ning, it's an honor to be able to make history with you in the future."
But soon, his eyes fixed: "Then next, I will give you my first gift."
As he spoke, Zhou Xing raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Diancheng.
"That's our ultimate goal, right?"
Ning Fan was surprised by Zhou Xing's sudden change in momentum, but he still nodded calmly.
"So, you know this goal, I know it, Master Xu knows it, and Diancheng knows it too."
Zhou Xing's eyes became brighter and brighter: "But there are still many people...who don't know!"
Ning Fan was silent for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
He seemed to know what the real gift Zhou Xing had prepared this time was!
"Mr. Ning, you said you were short of manpower, and I don't have much help to offer you."
Zhou Xing straightened up: "But, in this land, those who want to take over the top city..."
"It's not just Master Xu."
