From the above, it can be seen that he has never simply slaughtered a single group of people.
Even when consuming the forces of the southwestern Yi men, he used the recruitment of militias and the guise of participating in warfare. He consumed through the means of war, rather than simply slaughter.
This is fundamentally different from the pure slaughter of the Nanzhao army.
One is the establishment of rules, and the other is simply the killing of desires.
Even if the actions of the two sides appear somewhat similar, people's acceptance of them is completely different.
The Nanzhao army slaughtered civilians to provoke the Chu army, not only using means that evoke outrage but also undermining Lu Yuan's foundation.
That's tens of thousands of people who can be quickly absorbed!
For Lu Yuan, who was already prepared to take over Xichuan country, those killed by the Nanzhao army were not Xichuan people but his own Chu people.
