[Holy crap, this is so sudden! Why did Tian Guang kill Young Master Zhou?! I thought Young Master Zhou would be the ultimate winner!!!]
[I also thought that Prince Zhou would be the ultimate winner. After all, of the five vassal states, Xu was gone, divided between Tian and the Emperor; Wei was in barbarian territory; Jin was geographically located in the middle of the vassal states; and Tian was very weak at this time. But just when Zhou was at its peak, Prince Zhou died, and I...]
[Haha, the Emperor must have been ecstatic when he found out, but I still think the Zhou Kingdom has a chance.]
[Agreed, I also think Zhou Guo is the most likely to have the last laugh.]
[(⊙o⊙)…Are you all still here from the last episode? The Zhou nobles have been slaughtered to death! What exactly is Tian Guang trying to do?! He's killing his way through!!!]
[I'm utterly speechless. The Zhou Kingdom's formidable military strength was destroyed by such a lowly slave as Tian Guang. What's even more outrageous is that Tian Guang already has followers!]
At first, I thought Tian Guang was just a 2.0 version of Meng Nu, but it turns out she's almost developed into a powerful force. Zhou Kingdom is practically hollowed out from within, but Tian Kingdom has finally caught its breath; otherwise, it probably would have been wiped out.
The battle situation is truly changing in an instant! ╮(╯▽╰)╭
“I know you don’t hate your advisors and strategists, and you don’t like me, but I still have to say that if you want to truly save those people, you need me.”
Pingyuan, who knew no martial arts, looked at Tian Guang's knife with a resolute expression and did not back down.
Tian Guang was looking at Pingyuan. Hadn't this strategist heard that he had not only killed feudal lords and noble families, but also strategists?
“The Zhou state is militarily powerful, but it is not indestructible. It is tough but easily broken. If you launch a surprise attack on the Jin and Tian states now, they will surely take the opportunity to cooperate in attacking the Zhou state. At that time, you can seize the opportunity to take control of the Zhou state.”
Tian Guang frowned. He was tired. He didn't know why he was still alive. More and more brothers and sisters were behind him. He thought the strategist wanted to say something, but it turned out to be the same old nonsense.
"The reforms in the states of Tian and Jin already infringed upon the rights of the aristocratic families; if..."
"roll."
Tian Guang was too lazy to listen to Pingyuan's words. In the end, these strategists and diplomats were just using their mouths to spread rumors and stir up wars. He wouldn't believe them.
"Trust me, I am acquainted with the strategists of the Tian Kingdom's reform movement, and I have my own ways to get rid of them..."
I said get lost!
Tian Guang held the knife to Pingyuan's neck, the sharp blade slicing through Pingyuan's skin. "I won't give up. You've come this far, there's no turning back. If you want to teach those noble families a lesson, you'll eventually have to step into the capital and become the emperor."
Tian Guang was shocked by the man's words; they were truly outrageous. He only wanted to kill a few more pests, not rebel. If this man was trying to persuade him to seize power with the intention of gaining fame, then he should just give up now.
"Even if you tell me not to speak, I will still speak. You can die, but those who follow you outside can also die. What is the point of all your actions?! It's all in vain!"
Tian Guang's pupils flickered for a moment. "Why me?"
Pingyuan knew he had persuaded Tian Guang, "because you are different from those feudal lords and aristocratic families."
[This Pingyuan seems to be someone important. Why was he so unremarkable when he was at Young Master Zhou's residence?]
Those people have so many advisors and strategists; they can't even see this plain.
[It seems like Tian Guang was forced into this position by Pingyuan. It feels like Tian Guang doesn't actually want to be king.]
[Tian Guang was indeed put on a pedestal, but it should be said that it wasn't Pingyuan who put him there. He was just a catalyst. Look at Tian Guang's men; they're all poor people, men, women, old and young. To be honest, I don't have a high opinion of this group.]
[Wow, it's only been a few episodes! Pingyuan's already dead?! I thought he was an important character!]
Me too, I'm speechless. Tian Guang smoothly took over the Zhou state and even defeated the Tian and Jin states. The emperor even took the opportunity to steal from Tian and Jin; those two vassal states are truly at a huge loss.
[It seems the emperor made a killing this time, while the Tian and Jin states suffered huge losses.]
Don't worry, didn't you see the strategists wanting to unite the states of Wei, Jin, and Tian to fight against the Zhou state? They don't want to be enslaved and ridden on.
[Haha, this strategist even went to negotiate peace with the emperor, hoping that he wouldn't take the opportunity to attack the three families during the war. It's hilarious! O(∩_∩)O haha~]
[Stealing bases, haha, an old tradition. Which of these warlords doesn't take advantage of your weakness to finish you off? Now they're saying not to steal bases, it feels like they've set a flag, it feels like they're about to fall~]
[It must be said that the emperor's strategy of developing his power through stealth was quite impressive. The main reason was that none of the feudal lords took the lead in breaking the stalemate. In fact, if even one of them had the pretext to attack the emperor, the other feudal lords would have certainly stepped in, preventing the emperor from developing for so long.]
[As you said yourself, nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out. They can establish their own vassal states, but they still acknowledge the emperor. They've used two tricks—claiming to be kings but still with the emperor as their sovereign and themselves as subjects—but if anyone breaks that rule, things will get interesting. Whoever dares to be the first to step forward will be the last one standing.]
These people actually have some sense of shame, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tactics, like the "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" strategy, or saying they wouldn't launch a sneak attack but then lying in ambush. But then again, it's absurd that none of them committed regicide. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
[Killing a tyrant was considered very damaging to one's reputation in the past. Looking at the Northern and Southern Dynasties, once someone committed regicide, they were basically ineligible for that position because the stain on their record was too obvious.]
