Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 115 Besieged on all sides
"Military Advisor's brilliant plan, what else? What about the third one?"

After Wang Caixuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent in thought, their eyes becoming brighter and brighter, but seeing that Wang Caixuan stopped talking, Xie Yingdeng couldn't help but ask.

"Third...it's psychological warfare! Expand and strengthen the first two points, combining the real and the fake to confuse the enemy!"

With everyone's approval and approval, Wang Caixuan became much more confident. She responded quickly with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and then explained:

"It's about creating chaos, making it impossible for the enemy to accurately judge our strategic intentions. Spreading rumors, feinting attacks to divide our forces, and ambushing, etc., will disrupt the situation!"

After saying that, Wang Caixuan looked at Xiao Ying and flattered her:

"Of course, the most important and hardworking person is naturally Prince Jingwu. If necessary, Prince Jingwu will be required to rush to various places alone and cast spells to assist, so that the enemy cannot figure out the movements of our main force and elite troops!"

"Good!" Xiao Ying was the first to praise, and at the same time felt a little amused.

Wang Caixuan is worthy of being a concubine and a member of the Forbidden Palace. Even though it is clearly her credit, she still does not forget to praise herself and take the credit for herself!
“Really good!”

Li Baiyao was quite impressed and bowed in praise. He then hesitated and asked, "But... we still don't know the specific relationship and connection between the three kings. What if they don't fall for it? Or what if the Demon Sect breaks the contract and the two kings ignore it?"

Honestly, although Li Baiyao was a disciple of the Demon Sect, he wasn't as diehard a fan as Dugu Feng and the others thought. Loyalty wasn't something one could really talk about in the Demon Sect. He couldn't influence the Demon Sect's final decision, and he couldn't be sure whether the Demon Sect would truly abide by their promise.
However, Li Baiyao really didn't know the specific relationship and connection between the three rebel kings. He was not a close confidant of Shangliang King Shen Faxing, otherwise he would be the commander-in-chief of the Southern Liang Army, instead of Long Tianxing, who was obviously brave but lacked strategy!

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate! No matter what the Demon Sect and the Three Kings do, they can still disrupt the situation!"

Wang Caixuan smiled wryly and shook her head, as if to suggest there might be a better solution. After a pause, she continued, "Once the rumors spread, if the Fengming and Jianghuai armies cease their operations, wouldn't that confirm their claim? Even the Shangliang King wouldn't believe it!"

"This is a perfect plan. Let's discuss the details and implement it as soon as possible..."

It's rare for Wang Caixuan to be so confident and proactive, and she really has no better strategy, so Xiao Ying decisively and strongly supports her!
After a while, everyone discussed the details and then dispersed!
Before long, countless jade talismans and traditional carrier pigeons were released from the Sui army fleet.

Although most of the information contained Sui army strategies, instructions, and military orders, which were official business, there were certainly private messages from different factions, positions, and perspectives, such as those from Dugu Feng and the monk guards. However, Xiao Ying still trusted their loyalty and would not reveal specific tactics and strategies.

Or rather, it is the belief in the influence of "Blood Demon Picture"!
It is worth mentioning that Li Baiyao, who received the most attention, did not take any action and did not send any message.

As a surrendered general, it wasn't Li Baiyao's turn to report to Jiangdu and the Eastern Route Army. As for the Demon Sect, he believed he had done what he should have done and would never do what he shouldn't have done, maintaining a clear conscience.
……

Qiling Temple!
"This demon sect... is truly omnipresent, omnipresent, and able to find any gaps to exploit!"

The monk guards did pass the information about the Demon Sect back to the Buddhist sect, but they only mentioned the Demon Sect's agreement and King Jingwu's intentions, and did not mention the specific strategy of the Sui army, so it could not be considered a leak.

This was a tacit understanding between Buddhism and the imperial court, the Sui army and the monk guards.

"In that case, then I'll lend a hand. Spread the word to our Buddha and all the temples... Let Prince Jingwu and Empress Xiao see our temple's strong support..."

"The Three Kings of Jiangnan are disciples of the Demon Sect. The Demon Queen and the Heavenly Demon Saint have personally stepped in to incite King Fengming and the Jianghuai Governor to rebel. They plan to besiege King Shangliang and dominate Jiangnan..."

At the command of Master Lingzhen, the abbot of Qiling Temple, countless messages were sent out from the temple. Whether it was Hailing City, the core of the battlefield, or its surroundings, or even the territories of the Three Kings, there were temples and Buddhist strongholds.

The strongest Buddhist sect, its reputation well-deserved. Although these temples and strongholds are generally not affiliated with Qiling Temple, as long as the impact is minimal, they will obey the orders of the Buddhist holy land Qiling Temple!
Meanwhile, the Qiling Temple's story was clearly different. At least Jianghuai Governor Du Fuwei wasn't a member of the Demon Sect and was actually hostile to them. Meanwhile, Shangliang King Shen Faxing favored the Dao Sect, though he secretly colluded with the Demon Sect, a prime example of someone who would use any means necessary to expand the Shangliang Army.
Only King Fengming Li Zitong is more ambiguous and the most suspicious, but Qiling Temple has no definite evidence.

Qiling Temple does not need any evidence. The Three Kings of Jiangnan do not respect Buddhism, so they are enemies of Buddhism... If they are not evil, what are they?
……

The ancestral home of Taoism, Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion!

As the Liang army in the south surrendered, most of them were Taoist priests who accompanied the army to offer sacrifices, so they naturally surrendered as well. By the way, we can see whether King Jingwu really let go of his grudges and whether he will settle accounts with the Taoist sect later!
"The Demon Sect... The demons are rising, the Tao is falling, the demons are falling, the Tao is rising!"

"Since Prince Jingwu has truly let go of his grudges, we can't remain silent! Send a message... withdraw the Longhu Mountain Taoist priests... and the many Heavenly Masters from the Shangliang Army!"

As the Taoist sect second only to Buddhism, and the leader of the Southern Tianshi Sect, Master Zhang of the Tianshi Mansion also received the message in time and decisively issued an order!
"Brother Master! King Shangliang has always respected Taoism and worshipped our sect. If we withdraw now... it will have a bad impact and might even dishearten people! How about... being more tactful?"

A white-bearded Taoist holding a whisk hesitated and gave advice!
As the leader of the Southern Celestial Master Sect, Prince Shangliang is the Celestial Master's biggest bettor. How could he give up so easily? That would be tantamount to the Celestial Master's abandoning this generation's plan for the throne!
"Fool! Can't you see the situation south of the Yangtze River? Regardless of the outcome of the war in south China, the Shangliang army in the south has been destroyed and crippled, and the King of Shangliang is still foolishly caught in the center of the vortex. The outcome is already determined. If it is not destroyed by the Sui army, it will be swallowed up by the King of Jianghuai and the King of Fengming. There is no hope. Why not cut your losses in time? Wouldn't it be better to show your sincerity to the King of Jingwu?"

……

Hailing City, City Lord's Mansion.

"boom……"

Initially, Shen Faxing didn't believe the "rumors" that were spreading more and more in the city. But when he learned that the Fengming Army, which was supposed to be rushing to the city at full speed, had stopped marching with unclear intentions, he immediately flew into a rage and slammed the table and roared:

"I knew it all along. Li Zitong is a scoundrel... a scoundrel not worth having a say in! He's actually a disciple of the Demon Sect, treacherous and shameless..."

A haggard old man in a Confucian robe smiled bitterly and shook his head, advising, "Lord, calm down! Rumors are spreading like wildfire. Just because the Fengming Army has stopped fighting doesn't mean they'll attack us. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on! Our army... why not... temporarily retreat from the vortex and save our lives..."

Shen Faxing panted heavily, his eyes red as he asked, "Retreat! In the current situation, where can our army retreat to?"

The counselor was silent...

Today, Hailing City is bordered by the Tianjiang River to the south, which has been cut off. To the northeast lies the Fengming Army, to the northwest lies the Jianghuai Army, to the west lies the Eastern Sui Army, and to the south lies the Southern Sui Army...

Except for the eastern sea area, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides and there is nowhere to retreat even if we want to!
Unfortunately, Hailing City and the Shangliang army were running out of ships. Add to that the terrifying Sui fleet to the south. What was the difference between jumping into the sea and committing suicide?! You'd die faster, and there was nowhere to escape or break out at sea!

"Heaven is blind! Fight! Send a message to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and fight to the death. Whoever strikes first will be the last to die..."
