Chapter 38 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
Qian He's words were quite straightforward, and everyone present could easily understand them. However, it was also easy to imagine the consequences!
She is indeed the most poisonous woman!
Although the vast majority of those present were unaware of the specifics of Jiangdu's military, given its size and prosperity, the various armies must have numbered at least 600,000 or 700,000, if not a million. Adding the families, guards, and friends of the rebels, the total number must have exceeded a million. The daily logistical costs were astronomical!
As someone who has always followed Xiao Ying, I have a general understanding of Xiao Ying's previous actions.
Without the vast reserves of the Forbidden Palace and Dugu Mansion, if Xiao Ying attacked other granaries and warehouses, what would these hundreds of thousands of troops and countless friends eat? What would they use?
It is conceivable that when there is a food and clothing crisis, the rebels will attack civilians and innocent people, and they have no choice but to do so.
That will cause even greater unrest, and a huge number of innocent people will surely suffer. It will be more chaotic, more tragic, and more bloody than the rebellion tonight!
Dugu Feng, whose red dress was stained with blood and looked rather embarrassed, looked at Qian He with a strange look in her eyes, then looked at Xiao Ying, and hesitantly reminded:
"This... isn't good, is it? It will kill many people, especially the people of Jiangdu!"
Qian He secretly glanced at Xiao Ying. Seeing that Xiao Ying was just frowning and silent, she calmly replied, "What do the crimes of the rebels have to do with me? At worst, we can provide disaster relief when the time comes! If you are a loyal and righteous man, you will put down the rebellion tonight. If you are not loyal and righteous, why do you need mercy?"
"I agree!" Le Han's face changed several times and he spoke first.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Bai Zhu and other leaders and the elite representatives who accompanied them all spoke out.
Even Dugu Feng, who focused on cultivation and rarely paid attention to other things, understood this principle, so they naturally understood it even better!
One has to admit that this is indeed an excellent strategy, killing with a borrowed knife, removing the fuel from under the cauldron, taking advantage of the situation, stealing... even taking advantage of the situation to rob, watching the fire from the other side of the river, reviving the dead, luring the tiger away from the mountain, etc., which can be considered nearly half of the thirty-six strategies!
If we talk about the biggest turning point of the Jiangdu Rebellion, neither Xiao Ying nor Empress Xiao could be as good as this plan!
"How about... asking the Dugu clan leader and the others for their opinions! After all, we are responsible for the rear guard. If we leave without permission, it will have a significant impact!"
Le Han hesitated for a moment and suggested to Xiao Ying.
They say it is an inquiry, an influence, etc., but actually everyone knows it well.
The strategy is indeed a good one, but it will ruin one's reputation and character, and it may be pointed at by thousands of people and cause public outrage. Le Han wants to shift the blame to the Dugu clan leader and others, and then the others can share the blame equally.
"No need! Everyone is responsible for their own actions... Even if there are thousands of people, I will still go!"
Xiao Ying was in a state of inner conflict. After a period of intense conflict and hesitation, he took a deep breath and spoke resolutely.
After a pause, without waiting for others to say anything, he directly ordered:
"The eighteen priests will follow me. The rest will be led by Commander Le Han, who will continue to guard the rear!"
Originally, Xiao Ying and his party consisted of thirteen priests including Dugu Feng. Later, the Dugu family and other forces transferred more than five hundred elites to make a total of eight hundred people for Xiao Ying and his party. The five extra priests were representatives of them.
Among the eighteen priests, the lowest level of cultivation is the middle stage of the third rank, and a small number of them are second-rank god-level masters.
"Master..."
Everyone present was startled, Le Han's face turned pale and he shouted, and many people wanted to speak out to give advice.
"It's settled! Eighteen priests, follow me and retreat into the formation, and then leave secretly!"
Xiao Ying waved his hand to stop him and spoke directly without allowing any room for refusal.
After saying this, he put away the Senluo Fengchi Knife in his hand, turned around and retreated into the "Seven Stars and Six Jia Formation"!
"Everything is for the Great Sui Dynasty! Good will prevail over evil, and we will win!"
Le Han sighed inwardly and could only clench his fists and shout in the background, as a way to give Xiao Ying a high hat for being righteous and to prevent him from being leaked later and being scolded too badly.
...Southwest of Jiangdu, there is a huge building covering several miles and hundreds of meters high.
This is one of the six famous granaries in Jiangdu. It is almost responsible for the resource allocation of the entire southwestern urban area of Jiangdu and bears huge reserve responsibilities!
At this time, the area around the huge warehouse was densely populated with troops and brightly lit.
The garrison here alone numbered over 10,000 men, and the security was tight. There were also many extraordinary and peerless auras, and if there were any god-level powers, they should be inside.
"Dugu Feng, Cui Jirong, Zheng Zitong, and Liu Qianqing! The four of you will follow me into the warehouse and be responsible for clearing or blocking the guards inside. The rest of you will block the entrance!"
In the darkness near the huge warehouse, Xiao Ying called out names and gave orders to his left and right.
Among the four girls, Dugu Fengxiu has the highest realm and strength. The others have just entered the second rank. They are the famous daughters of heaven handed down from top forces such as the Cui family, the Zheng family and the Vajra Martial Arts School. They are three of the five new priests.
Don’t ask why she is a woman, and a favored one at that.
It is because various forces did it on purpose, and it is not difficult to guess their intentions!
Xiao Ying's selection of the four women to be included in the vault also had a special meaning, to prevent the leak of the infinite storage ability. He had no intention of letting the four women go, and he wanted to focus on training them. After all, the four women were backed by top-tier forces, and the Dugu family was one of the four major clans!
"..."
The eighteen priests had different thoughts, but they all nodded silently, and no one had any objection!
"Do it!"
"Tianxin Yi Sword!"
This time, Xiao Ying used the Black Crystal Dragon Sword. Until someone arrived, the door of the warehouse slowly opened. With an order, he locked his mind on the eight top-notch Dan Jin guards at the entrance. One sword, eight stars!
Under the absolute disparity in realm gap...
A split second!
Xiao Ying ignored the others and rushed into the warehouse at a swift speed. Dugu Feng and the other four girls followed him and were responsible for clearing out the people inside. The remaining fourteen priests arranged themselves in a formation of two-seven-four, blocking the entrance!
In just over a hundred breaths, Xiao Ying had taken away most of the items in the huge warehouse and also left behind countless miscellaneous items!
"go!"
When they left the huge warehouse, it was already engulfed in flames, and even several of the tall and magnificent buildings had collapsed.
Soon, Xiao Ying and others left in silence and rushed straight to the next granary in the northwest city.
"Sister Cui, was this just an illusion? Commander Xiao just..."
As they walked in silence, Zheng Zitong couldn't help but whisper to Cui Jirong.
Without waiting for Cui Jirong to respond, Liu Qianqing shouted in a low voice, "Silence! This is a matter of trust and a great secret. It cannot be spoken! It cannot be discussed! It cannot be suspected!"
Liu Qianqing, who came from a martial arts school, understands the ways of the world and how to avoid danger and seek good fortune better than the two girls from prominent families.
In terms of cultivation level and combat power, although the three of them are the pride of heaven and recognized as top talents, they are not the worst, but not the best either. Why did Xiao Ying specifically ask to bring only these four girls in?
Going inside is not necessarily safer than being outside.
If one of the three women died, it would be a big trouble for Xiao Ying and would have a great impact. However, Xiao Ying still did this for a reason!
Cui and Zheng may not understand yet, but Liu Qianqing knows very well that she is now completely bound to Xiao Ying. If she wants to leave, even if she doesn't die, it will bring disaster to the Vajra Martial Arts School. The subsequent development depends on her personal character and wisdom!
