Chapter 1308: Attacking the Heart Is the Best
Depressed as he was, Xiao Mian couldn't just stand by and watch them die.
Not to mention that kid Bai Jintang, as far as Xiao Mian knew, not only most of the elite young people in Wanzong City were gathered in Tucheng, but even the young talents of the entire Nanyue State were trapped in Tucheng because of General Xuanling's strategy of besieging and attacking the reinforcements.
Among them, there were even old friends of Xiao Mian, such as Jinlang and Zhao Yuanli...
But now General Xuanling had a long-term plan and laid a trap, so how to rescue them was something Xiao Mian had to think about.
Just at this time, General Chi Ming in the military camp raised what Xiao Mian was thinking.
"General Xuanling! Since you already have a plan to attack the city, why not do it in one go..."
"In the art of war, attacking the heart is better than attacking the city; psychological warfare is better than military warfare!" Gently shaking the nine-color spirit fan in his hand, General Xuanling talked freely: "Although there are many disputes between our Nanyan demon clan and Nanyue human clan, they are not mortal enemies. If blood flows like a river, even His Majesty the Ten Thousand Demon King and the senior Wanzongsheng will not be happy!"
"This..."
General Xuanling's words were in line with Xiao Mian's thoughts.
However, General Chiming and other demons were a little slow to react.
Since it was not a real fight, why did those birdmen from Nanyue State come to the Chishui River to show off their power?
However, since General Xuanling said so, it must be right!
"What is the art of war, the psychological warfare, the warfare of soldiers, I, Chi Ming, don't understand it at all. General Xuan Ling! Just tell me what to do next!"
"The Purple Law Army, the Blue Strategy Army, the Cang'e Army and the Green Barbarian Army have surrounded the outer four sides of Tucheng. The Black Wasteland Army is hiding in the dark, and the Gray Meteorite Army is lying in ambush underground. The entire Tucheng is a net of heaven and earth, and it is difficult to escape. We must let these South Vietnamese monks know their current situation. Next, General Chi Ming, I will give you a task!"
"Please give me your orders, General Xuan Ling!"
General Chi Ming, who has always been unruly in the mouth of the little monkey demon Ji Ling, is actually unpretentious and has no temper in front of General Xuan Ling.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian's fear of General Xuan Ling became stronger.
The power of a demon, no matter how strong it is, has a limit. When it reaches the realm of the Heavenly Venerable, it is the limit. However, if General Xuanling can unify the entire Nanyan demon clan, the power that a demon can exert will increase exponentially, or even be endless.
For Nanyue Province, this is by no means a blessing...
But after listening to General Xuanling's plan, Xiao Mian was relieved.
General Chi Ming couldn't guess why those Nanyue monks came all the way south to show off their power by the Chishui River, but Xiao Mian knew.
The world of great strife is coming, and the catastrophe is coming. What they are doing is training soldiers.
Obviously, not only Wan Zongsheng thinks so, but also the emperor of the Nanyan demon clan - Wan Yaohuang, who dominates the Ten Thousand Mountains, thinks so!
Since it is training soldiers, they can't really fight to the death.
What's more, Xiao Mian has been away from Nanyue Province for twenty years. In the past twenty years, both the Nanyue monks and the Nanyan demon clan have been greatly trained.
The training has been very effective so far.
If we continue to work hard, we may be in danger of failure...
Obviously, General Xuanling has already planned to close the net.
Once General Xuanling wins a great victory, Nanyan may not kill Bai Jintang and others, but that scene will definitely not be very pretty.
Bai Jintang and others are all rising stars in the cultivation world of Nanyue, and the mainstay of the future. How can Wanzong City allow them to fall into the land of Nanman?
At that time, it will be either war or peace.
If it is a war, it must be a fight to the death between the two sides of the Nascent Soul Realm.
If it is a peace, it must be a huge amount of compensation.
What's more, it also involves the face of human cultivators...
If Xiao Mian hadn't happened to meet him, the Nanyue cultivation world would have been doomed to fall.
Now!
Let's see who is better!
After learning about the attitude of the Nanyan demon tribe towards the Nanyue monks from General Xuanling's orders, Xiao Mian felt relieved and revised his plan in due course.
After receiving General Xuanling's order, General Chiming left the military tent.
Xiao Mian came with General Chiming and had to go with him.
In the military tent, seeing the little monkey demon disappear behind General Chiming, General Xuanling frowned slightly and his eyes turned darkly.
"Gray Meteor! Was there anything strange about the little monkey demon just now?"
"Little monkey demon? Squeak! What can be strange about a mere fourth-level monkey?"
Gray Meteor was surprised to hear this, but still answered truthfully.
Although this Gray Meteor is a big rat, in fact, it has the blood of the spirit-seeking rat. It can not only dig holes and sneak, but also find spirits and see qi.
After getting Gray Meteor's answer, General Xuanling dispelled his doubts.
Although she had used her secret pupil technique on Xiao Mian before, the result was normal, but General Xuan Ling still felt something was wrong.
However, the arrow was on the string, and General Xuan Ling could not arrange it calmly.
"Hei Huang! The siege of Tucheng does not require your Hei Huang army to contribute. You should lead the army to the north, unite with Huang Shuo Army and Bai Wei Army, and use the strength of the three armies to intercept that man!"
"Roar!"
The big black bear standing next to General Xuan Ling suddenly roared to the sky.
The next moment, the big black bear turned into a swift black lightning and rushed out of the military tent.
"Squeak! General Xuan Ling! It's not good for you to do this? Huang Shuo and Bai Wei would have fought for that man, and now you sent Hei Huang, squeak..."
"Gray Meteor! Do you think I want to kill three warriors with two peaches?"
"Kill three warriors with two peaches? Squeak! Squeak!"
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, General Xuanling was too lazy to waste his breath.
Huang Shuo!
Bai Wei!
And there is Gray Meteor in front of him, and even Chi Ming who obeys his orders.
You guys who are arrogant, if you think that person is as easy to deal with as those Nanyue monks besieged in Tucheng, you are wrong!
Tiandu Martial Arts Association, the uncrowned king.
If you don't have a few pounds, how can you be famous in the five states of the world?
I just hope that after the Black Wasteland Army joins, the combined forces of the Huang Shuo Army and the Bai Wei Army can stop that person along the Chishui River.
Otherwise, the result of the siege of Tucheng is still unknown!
General Xuanling had already valued Xiao Mian to the point where he could not be more important. Even so, she still underestimated Xiao Mian...
At this time, Xiao Mian had followed General Chi Ming to the front of the earthen city.
At a glance from General Chi Ming, Xiao Mian jumped onto an earthen wall and shouted at the Nanyue monks in the earthen city to surrender.
"Birds in the earthen city! Listen to me! You are surrounded! No one will come to save you! Come out and surrender!"
Xiao Mian was very satisfied with the shouting, but it was also a bit awkward.
But what Xiao Mian was more concerned about was who was leading the crowd in the earthen city.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be him, right?
Just as Xiao Mian was thinking this, a modest gentleman appeared on the wall of the earthen city.
Seeing the noble gentleman standing in the wind, Xiao Mian felt relieved - the leader of the Nanyue monks was indeed him - Kong Yuanren!
In this way, it will be easier to talk...
"Please, fellow Taoist! The men of Nanyue have always died on the battlefield, not surrendered. The saints said: Seek benevolence and you will get it! It is also said that life is what I want, and justice is what I want. I cannot have both. I will sacrifice my life for justice! Kong..."
"Stop! Stop! Old Kong! You talk too much nonsense!"
As soon as Xiao Mian said this, Kong Yuanren, who was about to make a long speech, was suddenly stunned.
Old Kong?
These two words are not for just anyone!
In the whole world, I am afraid that only that person would tease me like this.
It's just impossible!
Kong Yuanren was puzzled, but the Beidou Sinan Plate in his arms was shaking slightly. He looked up and saw the little monkey demon on the opposite side blinking at him.
Hey!
This kid!
Is he really a spirit?
Kong Yuanren was just wondering how to respond, but Xiao Mian on the other side had already told him all about General Xuanling's deployment of a trap.
Let's not talk about how the other cultivators in Tucheng reacted to this. Kong Yuanren, though a little frightened, soon calmed down.
Since Xiao Mian had successfully penetrated into the Nanyan demon clan and successfully connected with him, how could he allow the other party to arrange things calmly?
With the Beidou Si Nan Plate in hand, was he still afraid of not being able to communicate?
At this moment, General Chi Ming stopped Xiao Mian's words and stepped forward.
"You are the first disciple of Confucianism, Kong Yuanren? Humph! I, Chi Ming, have heard of you! You are quite powerful, and what is even more rare is that you have never killed a monster after crossing the Chishui River. Since your flying sword is not stained with the blood of the monsters, you are not an enemy!" Facing Kong Yuanren, General Chi Ming grinned: "I respect you as a man, and I can let you leave calmly."
When General Chi Ming said this, Kong Yuanren just raised his eyebrows slightly and remained unmoved, but the others in Tucheng were a little restless.
Kong Yuanren was the strongest cultivator who came to rescue after everyone was besieged in Tucheng. Looking around Tucheng, no one could compete with Kong Yuanren.
In the current situation, if Kong Yuanren was alone, they would be even more miserable!
This is what General Xuanling taught General Chi Ming - the strategy of attacking the heart!
Even if Kong Yuanren refused to leave, the eyes of many cultivators in Tucheng would look at Kong Yuanren with more suspicion and less trust...
Once people's hearts are not united, the team will be difficult to lead!
Kong Yuanren naturally couldn't just walk away in anger, not to mention that he had already met Xiao Mian. Even if he hadn't met Xiao Mian, given his temperament, he couldn't just stay out of it.
"Mr. Kong is willing to live and die with Tucheng!"
"Really? Hehe!" With a faint sinister laugh, General Chi Ming changed the subject: "Forget it! Forget it! To be honest, there is no blood feud between our demon race and you humans. Everyone in Tucheng has a chance to leave Tucheng safely!"
"I don't know what General Chi Ming means by this?"
"I mean: as long as you hand over one person, everything can be discussed!"
"...Who?"
"Bai Jintang!" General Chi Ming said, his face was ferocious, and he said viciously: "The Bai family is too much! First, Bai Yuxi turned the tide, and then Bai Jintang made trouble. There are hundreds of demons who died in the hands of their Bai family. This blood feud must be avenged! Hand over Bai Jintang, and we can talk!"
As soon as these words came out, even Kong Yuanren was speechless for a moment.
Previously, General Chi Ming's proposal only involved Kong Yuanren, so he could make the decision on his own; but now that the matter involved Bai Jintang, he dared not interfere.
But Kong Yuanren remained silent, but someone in Tucheng could not hold back.
"General! If we hand over Bai Jintang, can you really let us go?"
"That's right! We have nothing to do with the Bai family, so why should we die with that second-generation ancestor?"
"Hmph! I've long disliked that kid! Could it be that the siege of Tucheng this time is rooted in him? The demons are clearly here to kill him!"
"In that case, aren't we the innocent victims?"
In a moment, the voices of condemnation against Bai Jintang came one after another.
These people completely forgot: they have killed many demons since they entered Nanyan!
It wasn't Bai Jintang who forced them to do it!
When the time came, all the sins were pushed onto Bai Jintang alone.
If Bai Jintang hadn't fainted, he would have been so angry that he would have lost consciousness.
Unfortunately or fortunately, Bai Jintang was in a coma at this time...
The few people before saw that Bai Jintang looked like a dead person, unable to speak or move his hands, and became more unscrupulous.
Some even stepped forward and wanted to pull Bai Jintang out of Tucheng.
But at this moment, a tall figure blocked Bai Jintang's way.
Golden Wolf!
At this time, Golden Wolf had successfully formed a golden elixir. Although he was only a mid-level golden elixir cultivator, two powerful spirit beasts appeared beside Golden Wolf.
One was a one-horned jade rhinoceros, and the other was a golden sword-toothed beast.
These two spirit beasts were given to Golden Wolf by Xiao Mian. After years of careful cultivation, they were promoted to the grade of sixth-level spirit beasts by Golden Wolf.
Two sixth-level spirit beasts were equivalent to two high-level golden elixir cultivators.
As a result, the people who were ready to move could not help but stagnate.
"Amitabha!" A Buddhist chant suddenly sounded in the silent earth city. A man with a big bald head came forward and said calmly: "All donors! Although Honglian was born in Buddhism, he can't stand your ugly faces the most! Please respect yourself!"
Honglianhua!
The first monk of the younger generation of Tianlong Temple!
With Hong Lianhua taking the lead, others such as Zhao Yuanli, Luo Zixing, Luo Yintian, Xiang Ji, and Lu Shaodong also responded and protected Bai Jintang.
These people are all the proud disciples of all kinds of people in Wanzong City.
Those who clamored to drive Bai Jintang out of Tucheng and hand him over to the demon clan were all various independent cultivators in Wanzong City and even Nanyue Province.
In Tucheng, a situation of confrontation between sect disciples and independent cultivators quietly emerged...
This is what General Xuanling said - attacking the heart is the best!
"I, the Golden Wolf, don't know any great truths! But I know one thing: the lips and teeth are cold!" The first Golden Wolf standing in front of Bai Jintang said loudly to the increasingly hostile monks from both sides in Tucheng: "The first time, they wanted to kill Bai Jintang, you compromised; the second time, they wanted to kill Hong Lianhua, you compromised again; the third time, the fourth time..., you compromised again and again, and in the end, you suddenly found that when they wanted to kill you, everyone except you chose to compromise again!"
The Golden Wolf was tall and strong, and his voice was like a bell.
This concise and concise speech not only resounded throughout Tucheng, but even General Chi Ming and Xiao Mian outside Tucheng could hear it clearly.
General Chi Ming's face was gloomy, but Xiao Mian cheered wholeheartedly.
Who said that strong limbs mean simple minds?
It is clear that - big guys are wise!
