291 Hatred

Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, Sovereign Ji Wen was holding an official meeting. However, he sat on his throne with his hand on his chin, looking in the distance.

"Over the past 500 years, ever since the attack on the Capital, the movement of Sun Jiaolong has slowed down drastically. Although we have lost many territories, we also manage to capture some of them as well," reported the Army Commander.

"That's good news. If they continued to move as fast as before, then we would have lost more Domains."

"Not necessarily. The previous tactic--although very fast and effective--had a fatal flaw: the citizens did not feel any sense of belonging to Great Wu. But now, after 500 years, it is more than enough time for them to start identifying as Great Wu citizens instead of Great Zhou."

"That's true. If we manage to recapture these territories, the citizens might not accept us."

"It all depends on how Great Wu treated them."
