Miao Yi and his party quickly took shortcuts in space. Even when they passed by the battlefield, they didn't stop and went straight to where Lord Guang was.
Along the way, Miao Yi repeatedly urged Bluemoon to hurry up. Even if he gave Yan Xiao strong support, it would still be difficult to stop Green Buddha's army of two billion. He wasn't sure how long Yan Xiao could last.
But there were still one billion troops, and with the troops led by Yu Luocha, even if they were defeated, they should be able to hold on for a while, right?
Yan Xiu's troops also received Miao Yi's message, urging them to rush back at full speed, hoping to support Yan Xiao in time.
As soon as the battle outside Eight Directions Temple ended, Heng Wudao reported the situation. It was a pyrrhic victory. Although the enemy was annihilated, they also lost nearly half of their men. Their army of three hundred million was only able to defeat one hundred and fifty million. Miao Yi also urged him to lead his troops back as soon as possible to support Yan Xiao!
Along the way, Bluemoon and Yang Zhaoqing finally reported that they had arrived at the predetermined location and could attack Lord Guang's troops at any time.
Just then, he received another report from Charcoal, learning that Shangguan Qing had been killed by the Green Lord. Miao Yi's spirits were lifted, and he was even more confident in advancing the next step of his plan. He immediately contacted Luo Mang, 'Marshal Luo, the Green Buddha Army has been intercepted by my troops. They are temporarily unable to reinforce Lord Guang Ling. My six billion troops are already in place, surrounding Lord Guang Ling!
Hearing that Green Buddha's troops were intercepted, Luo Mang was refreshed, "There's no time to lose. If we attack from inside and outside, Lord Guang should be suspicious of me!"
Miao Yi, "It's not a good idea to use force to threaten them. If we fight for too long, I'm not sure how long Green Buddha can hold them off. Marshal Huang Hao of the Noon Road and Marshal Gu Yu Cheng of the Last Road, this prince wants to give them a chance. Are you confident?
Luo Mang, "You want to incite them?"
Miao Yi, "I'm not thinking, but trying my best!"
Luo Mang was slightly silent, "I'm afraid there's no chance. Lord Guang is suspicious of me and has already recruited Huang Hao and Gu Yu Cheng to his side. They are already under his control."
Miao Yi, "It's not impossible to control them. They can still pressure Lord Guang by staying by his side. At this point, even if Lord Guang is determined to fight to the death, they probably won't be willing to die with him. It all depends on whether the external pressure is enough. I need your cooperation. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late!"
Luo Mang was silent for a moment.
The two of them began to discuss the details of their forced surrender.
From the side, Yang Qing would occasionally glance at Miao Yi, who was busy with his work. He didn't say much, and continued to observe silently from the side.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak. It was just that the war had come to this, and both sides had brought out their armies. The final victor would still be decided on the battlefield. Moreover, Miao Yi's ability to command and adapt to changing situations on the battlefield was much stronger than his. He also had the boldness to make decisions.
Putting everything else aside, for example, using one billion soldiers to stop the Green Buddha Army was something he would never do. There was simply no chance of victory. However, Miao Yi still made this decision. He wanted to stop them, but after some thought, he decided to remain silent. The reason why he gave up on stopping them was very simple. If he did not send people to stop the Green Buddha Army, the Green Buddha Army would definitely join forces with Guang Ling Gong. The stalemate would then be a long one. He did not have a better solution. Without a solution, what was the use of stopping them? Who doesn't know how to talk reason?
Miao Yi had obviously noticed this as well, so he made up his mind. He didn't mind sacrificing a billion troops!
He also wanted to watch from the sidelines. The war had come to a stalemate. Either side that lagged behind could lose everything. He wanted to see how Miao Yi would slowly turn the situation around …
Standing on the mountain peak, Guang Ling Gong's expression was heavy and gloomy. He realized that he had fallen into Luo Mang's trap. Luo Mang said he wanted to be a hostage, but he still hadn't come. He reckoned that Luo Mang had already finished deploying his troops.
By the time he realized it, it was already too late. Attack Luo Mang? Luo Mang controlled about a third of the Western Army's forces. The consequences of attacking would be disastrous. Abandon Luo Mang and escape? He was afraid that Luo Mang would not let him leave so easily. As soon as he moved, Luo Mang would definitely send troops to delay him.
The reason why he set up the formation and allied with the Green Buddha Army was because he knew that Niu Youde had his eyes on him. He wanted to delay until the Green Buddha Army came to participate in the decisive battle against Niu Youde. Then, he could find an opportunity to escape and let the Green Buddha Army help him hold Niu Youde back.
However, Luo Mang's actions had completely destroyed his hopes.
Gou Yue walked to the side and reported, "Your Highness, the scouts reported that the Green Buddha Army has encountered a frontal attack by Niu Youde's troops!"
"A frontal attack?" Lord Guang was a little incredulous. A glimmer of hope flashed across his eyes as he asked, "They have already started a frontal battle?" If that was the case, then the Green Buddha Army had already delayed Niu Youde for him. He could take the opportunity to escape or take advantage of the situation.
Gou Yue shook his head, "According to the scouts, Niu Youde has sent about a billion troops to stop them!"
A billion troops dared to stop the elite Green Buddha Army? Lord Guang's expression twitched as he said, "Niu Youde is a madman. He wants to make a move against me at all costs!"
Meanwhile, halfway up the mountain, under the 'protection' of Lord Guang's personal army, Marshal Huang Hao and Marshal Gu Yu Cheng of the Wei Route also realized that something was wrong. They realized that they were being controlled, but Luo Mang was nowhere to be seen.
The starry sky was vast and boundless. The place where the two of them were standing was completely desolate. It looked very boring.
At this moment, the two of them received a message from Miao Yi's star bell. The message was similar to that of asking the two of them to submit to him, promising them the title of King, and informing them that Luo Mang had already submitted to him. Lord Guang wouldn't be able to escape. He only said that the two of them didn't have much time to think about it, and asked them to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Niu Youde?" Huang Hao, who received the message first, looked at Gu Yu Cheng who had quietly put down the star bell and asked.
Gu Yu Cheng nodded. The two of them looked at each other and seemed to have found the reason why they were being controlled and Luo Mang wasn't among them. Luo Mang was gathering his troops and was no longer listening to his Highness's orders.
Naturally, the two of them wouldn't just let Miao Yi say whatever he wanted. They definitely had to confirm it with Luo Mang.
It wasn't convenient for the two of them to contact each other at the same time. After a brief exchange, Huang Hao contacted Luo Mang.
There was no need to beat around the bush now. Huang Hao asked directly, 'Brother Luo, have you submitted to Niu Youde?'
Luo Mang replied, 'I don't want to either. But I have to give my brothers a way out, right? The Green Buddha's army has already been stopped by Niu Youde's troops. In fact, we have long been surrounded by Niu Youde's troops and can launch an attack at any time. The reason we haven't attacked yet is because Niu Youde still wants to persuade His Highness to surrender so that he can have the final battle with the Green Buddha. Actually, we all know that with the unification of the Eastern, Southern and Northern Armies, the balance of power in the world has already been destroyed. It's no longer possible for His Highness to continue gathering troops. Moreover, he's already surrounded. Niu Youde won't let His Highness escape again. His Highness isn't willing to surrender because he has his pride. He can be Hao Defang or Kou Lingxu, but what about us? I've already made my decision. It's up to the two of you now. If we submit to Niu Youde now, it'll be a meritorious deed. But if we lose and surrender, it'll be an entirely different matter. There's something I have to remind my Royal Brother. Gao Guan and Shangguan Qing have both betrayed the Green Lord. Even Yu Luocha has led her people to betray the Lord Buddha. If war really breaks out, I'm afraid many of Royal Brother's subordinates will turn against us …
At this moment, Lord Guang had also received Miao Yi's message.
Miao Yi opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, I've admired your daughter Guang Mei 'er's beauty for a long time. I hope Your Highness can grant my wish!"
Lord Guang naturally knew what he meant by this. At this point, beauty was nothing. What he meant was that he wished to be one of his own. What did he mean by being one of his own? Other than wanting him to submit to him and fight against the Green Lord's forces together, there was no other meaning.
The other party didn't say the word 'surrender' because he didn't want to provoke him. If he really fell into the other party's hands, not to mention a daughter, the other party could do whatever he wanted. Everything he owned would belong to the other party.
Lord Guang sneered and replied, "That's easy. I've long had the intention to betroth Mei 'er to someone else. Your Highness already knew about it when you were at the Governor's Office of the Netherworld. As long as Lord Niu doesn't keep his eyes on me and shows mercy, I'll immediately send someone to send Mei' er to Your Highness. I'll also offer a generous dowry!"
Until now, he still addressed Miao Yi as' Your Highness'. He wouldn't accept Miao Yi becoming an emperor.
Miao Yi thought that Guang Mei 'er was enough to make Miao Yi give up the opportunity to annex the western army. To Miao Yi, this was a joke. Forget one Guang Mei' er, even if ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand Guang Mei 'er were to be offered to him, he still wouldn't agree. Once he had the world, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find a woman as beautiful as Guang Mei' er.
At this point, if Miao Yi really dared to give up the opportunity to fight for a woman, he wouldn't be able to answer to the soldiers who were bathed in blood below.
Miao Yi changed the topic: "The Green Lord's army has been stopped by me. Po Jun is dead, Gao Guan has defected, Shangguan Qing failed and was killed by the Green Lord. The Shadow Guards have defected and surrendered to me. The Dragon and Phoenix Clans have defected and surrendered to me. A large number of the Imperial Guards have defected and surrendered to me. A large number of the Buddha Realm have defected and surrendered to me. Yu Luocha has led hundreds of millions of troops and surrendered to me. The Great Ensemble has surrendered to me. The Xiahou Clan is also under my control.
A series of people and forces were reported, making the Duke of Guang shudder. He gritted his teeth and replied, "So what? You want to scare me?
