Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 105 Risking Yourself
"Hmph! Isn't that too much, Prince Jingwu?"

Li Baiyao snorted coldly, frowned, and replied, "If the Jianghuai and Fengming armies arrive, the Sui army will be the first to suffer, not our king, right? King Jingwu's lies and deceptions are damaging to his reputation!"

"Indeed!"

"That's right! The three rebel kings are not just names in vain. They will definitely unite to defeat the Sui army first..."

"You are lying and deceiving, and you are unworthy to be the King of Jingwu!"

"Humph! Warlords are vying for the throne. The Sui Dynasty has fallen, and the strong are king. Do you really think you are the master?"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people present, including sneers, disdain, and ridicule.

"Is this really a lie?! With Mr. Li's wisdom, if you really think so, then this king is greatly disappointed!"

Xiao Ying smiled and shook his head, looking directly at Li Baiyao with a sharp gaze. He paused, looked around at everyone present and said:
"My friendship with the Jianghuai Governor is well known to those who are interested! I guarantee, both personally and on behalf of my sister, the Empress, that the Jianghuai Army will not confront the Sui Army. However, if they arrive in time, they will first destroy the Shangliang Army before considering a major battle against the Sui Army! The order of priority is crucial..."

After saying this, Xiao Ying smiled confidently and added:
"So, I just said, no matter what, the situation is hopeless for the King of Liang and the Liang army... why should you remain so foolishly loyal and be buried with them?"

"what?!"

"Is this true? Prince Jingwu is also friends with the Jianghuai Governor?"

"It seems that this is indeed the case. I heard about it a few days ago..."

"The Jianghuai Governor did go to Jiangdu. Could it be that he was colluding with the Sui army? Or is there some conspiracy going on?"

"No way? The three rebel kings, instead of destroying the remnants of the Sui Dynasty first, actually started a war among themselves?"

"The remnants of the Great Sui Dynasty occupy Jiangdu. How can they be so easily destroyed? The three kings will first decide the outcome and finally destroy the Great Sui Dynasty. It is human nature..."

……

There was another round of whispering and heated arguments.

Xiao Ying's status, reputation, and achievements, coupled with his expression and tone at the moment, inherently made people trust him. Many people present actually believed what Xiao Ying said!
The most important thing is that Xiao Ying not only made the guarantee in his own name, but also in the name of Empress Xiao, which made it more credible!

This is the importance of orthodoxy!
After years of rule, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is not so easy to reverse or ignore!
"Oh? I'm very curious. What conditions does Prince Jingwu want to offer to persuade us to surrender...to convince us?"

Li Baiyao frowned and thought for a moment, waved his hand to stop everyone from talking heatedly, but looked at Xiao Ying and asked.

"..."

The expressions of most people present changed.

These words meant that Li Baiyao believed what King Jingwu said.

More importantly, Li Baiyao was tempted to surrender to the Sui army, otherwise he would not have asked this question!
Liang Qi General Shen Kang's expression changed drastically. He lowered his head, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he quietly signaled his left and right...

Xiao Ying, who was always alert, instantly noticed Shen Kang's murderous intentions and small movements, but she pouted slightly, pretending to be unaware and spoke calmly:
"First, I guarantee everyone's personal safety! Furthermore, as long as your abilities match yours and you haven't committed a heinous crime, I can guarantee you positions, power, and benefits, reporting to the court for equal honors... If you wish to retire, I can also offer you resources and wealth of equivalent value..."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present instantly relaxed their expressions and were obviously moved!

In terms of wisdom and ability, Xiao Ying would not dare to say that he is better than the heroes of this world.

However, Xiao Ying had lived two lives and was somewhat familiar with China's glorious history. He was well aware of the surrendered soldiers' mentality. It was nothing more than safety and interests, and then there was the issue of power...

"Secondly, with the exception of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, all other Liang troops will be retained and still commanded by the generals. Their military power will not be recklessly compromised, ensuring a sufficient sense of security..."

No one responded, but the reaction was good. Xiao Ying continued to speak loudly to himself, with a serious expression and sincere tone!
"Third, if any of you are willing to join the government, I promise to treat you all equally and not discriminate based on anyone's past..."

"Do it!"

"Keng..."

"Mountain Shattering Slash!"

Xiao Ying was speaking when a loud shout echoed, followed by the sharp, resonant sound of metallic clang. Liang Cavalry Commander Shen Kang suddenly launched himself at Xiao Ying, swiftly lunging at him. With immense force, his precious sword cleaved directly at Xiao Ying's head...

"Bone Transforming Palm!"

"Shocking Rainbow Sword!"

"Broken gold finger!"

……

At the same time, seven or eight people suddenly attacked, and fists, palms, swords, hidden weapons, etc. burst out in an instant, and rushed towards Xiao Ying who was standing alone in the tent with lightning speed!

"stop!"

"No!"

"do not want!"

Li Baiyao, the generals in the tent, and even some of the attendants cried out in shock. Several of them trembled and rushed directly towards Xiao Ying...

It has to be admitted that the previous defeat of the Liang army did cause panic among many of the Liang army members.

Now that the Sui army is trying to persuade people to surrender, and King Jingwu has come alone, it has indeed moved many people, and they are secretly leaning towards the Sui army!

The Shangliang Army, the last of the three rebel kings, and the orthodox Sui Army represented by Empress Xiao are not comparable to each other, not to mention that they have just been defeated and are at a disadvantage!
"Bang... crackling..."

Xiao Ying, who had been prepared and anticipated this matter, reached out his hand seemingly casually and grabbed Shen Kang and chopped him down with all his strength.

The dense and continuous sound of frying beans rang out...

Fists, palms, swords, hidden weapons, sharp fingers, etc., all bombarded Xiao Ying, but he completely took them all, holding them up like a mountain...

Or rather, ignore?!

Upon closer observation, it can be seen that those attacks such as fists, palms, swords and knives only hit a few inches around Xiao Ying's body, without breaking his protective qi, and even his clothes were not damaged at all!

"hiss……"

"This……"

There was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air, and most of the people present were dumbfounded. Even those who stood up or rushed out stopped in their tracks, unable to believe it!

"You and I……"

Shen Kang held the precious sword tightly in his hand, his veins exposed, and his face flushed red as blood. He stood stupidly in front of Xiao Ying, shocked and terrified, ashamed and guilty, stammering for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Not to mention Shen Kang and the others, even those who followed in the sudden attack were dumbfounded beside Xiao Ying, caught in a dilemma and not knowing how to react!
"How dare you! How dare you do that?!"

Li Baiyao's eyes narrowed, and he was obviously shocked, but he quickly reacted and shouted in shock, "Someone! Capture him!"

Many people present reacted, some were loyal to Li Baiyao, some wanted to surrender, and some wanted to show their performance. They immediately rushed forward and captured everyone headed by Shen Kang!
"Hey..."

Xiao Ying let go of the sword with apparent nonchalance, ignoring Shen Kang and scoffing, then sighed and shook his head seemingly unconcerned, saying:

"As everyone knows, when two armies engage in battle, envoys are not executed! Is this the Liang army's way of treating guests? It's a bit petty, not worthy of being presented, and it's unlikely to accomplish anything great!"

"..."

Many people present were shocked and seemed to be thinking about something.

Although Xiao Ying obviously said this on purpose, it was also true that it stimulated and shocked everyone. Could such a disunited army really accomplish anything?
