Special War God

Chapter 282 Bai Zhige returns to the world

Fortunately, after Maitreya conquered seven states in two days, the offensive eased, leaving Mang Kingdom a chance to catch its breath. The whole country was tense, and King Yi Guangshan ordered the court army, state troops and strategic materials to rush to the front line.

In a large army of Maitreya, the ancient Buddha Yutian and the ancient Buddha Zhenzhuo were in charge of the big tent, and below them were the venerables Zhu Fasheng, Bai Zhige and others. Bai Zhige was white-haired and dressed in a plain monk's robe. He had the demeanor of a high-level monk. The majesty of the king who once dominated the world no longer existed. Over the years, he put aside the past and devoted himself to studying Buddhism. His attainments may have surpassed Zhu Fasheng. At this moment, his heart was more peaceful than Zhu Fasheng and even the two ancient Buddhas. His country was destroyed, and he had personally witnessed the fall of the throne. The war today did not cause any ripples in his heart.

He was reluctant to go with the army, but the two ancient Buddhas and Zhu Fasheng knew his past and his strategic ability, so they insisted on taking him to the battlefield. The decline of the Bai Kingdom was not his fault. The old king Bai Wuxian fell, the pillars of the Bai Kingdom collapsed, and the coalition forces of the five countries pressed on the border. Instead of disintegrating, the Bai Kingdom defeated the Mang Kingdom and the Man Kingdom in the war, forced the Khanate to retreat, and put the Wu Kingdom in danger. All of this was his masterpiece. However, fate played tricks on people. Under such a great situation, it was broken by Xia Zhongnan's 10,000 elite soldiers. It can only be said that it was both destiny and opportunity.

Yutian Ancient Buddha said in a deep voice: "Zhi Ge, we once swept across the seven states of Mang Nation like mountains and rivers, why are we standing still now?"

Bai Zhige was originally immersed in meditation. At this moment, he slightly opened his eyes, but did not look at the glittering Yutian Ancient Buddha. He just stared blankly ahead and said in a low voice: "We were able to conquer the seven continents within two days because the mysterious layout was already in place. Now, it must have caused unrest in the world and attracted close attention from all parties. What followed might be the intervention of other countries.

I have been away from the world for a long time, and I cannot guess whether those new countries want to compete with us for the wild land, or launch an offensive against Maitreya. In any case, we need to wait and see, so as to respond in time. The wild land has a long history, and it cannot be shaken in a short time. Continuous pressure will only trigger their stubborn resistance. Once the war situation is stalemate, even if the three countries of Man, Khan, and Wei do not directly assist the wild land, they will try to take back the eleven states we have infiltrated and annexed, which is tantamount to indirect assistance, and we will fall into a passive situation.

Although our Maitreya sect is powerful, we are facing the Wilderness, the Savagery, the Khanate, the Wei Kingdom, and the always tough Xia Kingdom at the same time. Our victory at this moment may turn into a crisis in an instant. With our strength, the best strategy is to first firmly grasp these seven continents, and then slowly plan for the long term. "

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and returned to the state of meditation. Yutian Ancient Buddha, Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha and Zhu Fasheng exchanged glances and reached a silent consensus.

The Zhen Zhuo Ancient Buddha said, "Zhi Ge, there are some things you don't understand yet." After a pause, seeing that Bai Zhi Ge had no reaction, he continued, "Before we decided to attack the Wilderness, the Grand Master's reinforcements had quietly arrived, and we then finalized the plan to attack the Wilderness."

The top leaders of Maitreya had always been on guard against Bai Zhige, and had kept him in the dark about important matters. Of course, they couldn't get rid of him, as that would greatly shake the stability of Maitreya City. However, in this military operation against Manghuang, they still invited him to coordinate the plan, and thus they achieved the feat of capturing seven states within two days without losing a single soldier.

After a while, Bai Zhige opened his eyes again and asked, "How many reinforcements have arrived?"

The True Buddha replied: "Four ancient Buddhas, plus one hundred and sixty venerable ones."

Bai Zhige's eyes flickered, and then he fell silent again. After a moment, he said, "Your real target for attacking Manghuang this time is actually Xia Zhongnan, the ruler of Xia Country?"

His sudden guess made the two ancient Buddhas and Zhu Fasheng stare wide-eyed. They knew that Bai Zhige had been under strict surveillance and knew very little about the outside world. It was only because of this attack on Mang that he learned about the Maitreya Sect's layout in Manghuang. However, just by telling him about the reinforcements from Maitreya City, he actually guessed their true intentions.

Yutian Ancient Buddha couldn't help but ask: "How did you guess it?"

Bai Zhige said calmly: "Do we still need to guess? Maitreya City is an important base for the headmaster to penetrate into the hinterland of Donggu. The best strategy is to infiltrate the surrounding areas quietly. The power of this infiltration is extremely strong. The fact that we can easily recover seven states in just two days is the best evidence. If there are no external factors, we should naturally maintain the status quo, rather than rushing to attack Mang and arouse the vigilance of the Donggu countries...

Now, the mysterious Grand Master has suddenly sent such a powerful force to reinforce us, which only shows that we are facing an unprecedented crisis, and we must eradicate it to save ourselves. The only one who can shake our existence is Xia Zhongnan, the Lord of Xia State, who tried to destroy Wude and establish a new Xia. Your fear of Xia Zhongnan drove you to beg for help from the Grand Master. Now that you have received reinforcements, the goal is to eliminate this threat. "

Yutian Ancient Buddha declared: "Yes, this time our target is no longer the Savage Country, but directly the Xia Country Lord Xia Zhongnan. Our secret reinforcements have long been lurking at the border between the Savage and Xia countries."

The True Ancient Buddha said, "It has been more than three days since we started our operation, but there has been no movement from the Xia Kingdom. The lurking army is already anxious. What do you think should be the next move?"

Bai Zhige was silent for a moment, then responded: "We will maintain the status quo and let the hidden troops continue to wait patiently!"

Yutian Ancient Buddha said: "Attacking the Barbarian Kingdom to lure the Xia army into battle was the plan I made with Zhenzhuo. Now the plan has failed to work. The reinforcements have repeatedly asked when the Xia Kingdom will send troops, and we don't know how to respond."

Bai Zhige said calmly: "Just tell them to 'keep hiding and wait for orders'!"

The three ancient Buddhas Zhenzhuo, Yutian and Zhu Fasheng looked at each other.

Then, Zhen Zhuo Ancient Buddha spoke: "But what they want now is a reason, not an order!"

Bai Zhige suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at the Zhen Zhuo Ancient Buddha: "This is an order, what explanation do you need?"

At the moment when Bai Zhige's eyes were sharp, the three people were shocked at the same time. They felt the majesty emanating from Bai Zhige, as if he was the real leader of the army, and they were just generals under his command, willing to obey his orders.

Zhen Zhuo Ancient Buddha whispered unconsciously: "They are questioning our strategy. If we cannot give a convincing answer, it may cause adverse effects!"

Bai Zhige said firmly: "The key to large-scale military operations lies in the absolute execution of orders. Even if the strategy is wrong, there is no need to explain, just issue new orders. Remember, every weakness weakens your own beliefs and suggests to others that you are not capable of fulfilling important responsibilities!"
