"You...!"
Song Que's words caused Song Yu's expression to stiffen.
How dare Song Que lecture him on this reasoning?
Everyone knows that in the past, the Great Zhou sought to appease the Northern Lands not because of weakness in conquest, but to reduce casualties. After all, if they forcefully subdued all disloyal subjects, uprooting those deeply entrenched Noble Families and the Three Sects' Lineage, there would be fierce resistance to the end.
Though the Great Zhou was strong at the time, the Huo-Wei Pseudo-dynasty was not to be easily slaughtered. If the Northern Lands united to resist stubbornly, not only would the Great Zhou pay a heavy price, but the Northern Lands would also suffer devastation from the warfare, leading to the tragic situation of ten rooms with nine vacant.
Thus, the Great Zhou's appeasement strategy was indeed a benevolent government policy.
But...
"Hmph!"
