Chapter 110 The Biggest Anomaly, People Should Do Their Job! (Subscribe)

Three days later.

A simple camp was built.

However, the main force of the Tianhai Corps, which was supposed to arrive, has not arrived yet. The distant sea level is endless and there is no ship in sight.

"Your Highness, there is news from the Imperial City Department."

Li Jinzhong came quickly and reported to Yang An, "The Tianhai Corps encountered a storm at sea one day after going out to sea. I am afraid it will take a day to arrive."

"I see!"

Yang An nodded to show his understanding.

The weather on the sea is unpredictable.

Even the most experienced sailors can hardly guess when a storm will occur at sea.

Although the ships of the Tianhai Corps have been specially treated and various formations are engraved on the hull, so that the ships can sail safely in the storm.

However, if they really encounter a large-scale storm at sea, even the main fleet of the Tianhai Corps can only choose to avoid it, rather than stubbornly fight against the storm on the sea.

So Yang An expressed his understanding that the main fleet of the Tianhai Corps encountered a storm at sea and had to delay its arrival.

After all, in front of nature, even the great masters of heaven and man are as small as dust.

This is an irresistible factor.

No matter how harsh Yang An is, he cannot punish the Tianhai Corps for this reason.

"Is there any news from Baishen Island?"

Yang An's eyes moved away from Li Jinzhong and looked in the direction of Baishen Island.

Li Jinzhong did not dare to hide it and said truthfully: "Your Highness, I have sent someone to contact the hidden man on Baishen Island. According to the news from the hidden man, everything is normal on Baishen Island, and everyone in the White Demon Pirates is preparing for the Bloodbath Ceremony."

The Bloodbath Ceremony is a celebration held within the White Demon Pirates.

From the name of the ceremony, we can know that this celebration is full of a strong magic style.

In fact, this is also true.

The so-called Bloodbath Ceremony is simply a blood sacrifice ceremony.

Because the White Demon Pirates practice the [White God Burning Blood Skill], they need to burn their own blood and lifespan to gain powerful strength and use it to increase the speed of practice.

Therefore, most warriors who practice this technique are prematurely aged. Often, before they reach middle age, they already have white hair all over their heads, and even their eyebrows and beards have turned snow-white.

In order to make up for this defect, a strong man from the Blood Soul Sect referred to the practice of the Blood Demon Sect and developed the method of bathing in blood. By building a blood pool and showering the blood of all living beings, the blood and life span lost by the warriors from practicing the [White God Burning Blood Technique] can be made up.

In fact, both the [White God Burning Blood Technique] and the method of bathing in blood are derived from the [Blood God Sutra] of the Blood Demon Sect, and can be regarded as a weakened version of the [Blood God Sutra].

The only advantage of this technique over the [Blood God Sutra] is that it will not be affected or eroded by the Blood Demon God.

The reason why the White Demon Pirates are called the White Demon Pirates is that all members of the White Demon Pirates have practiced the [White God Burning Blood Technique], so they attach great importance to the method of bathing in blood.

And the top leaders of the White Demon Pirates, in order to better control their pirates, will hold a blood bath ceremony every once in a while.

Over time.

This bloodbath ceremony has become a major event on Baishen Island.

This time, Venerable Xue Tu summoned all members of the White Demon Pirates to gather on Baishen Island, also under the pretext of hosting the bloodbath ceremony.

"Is everything normal?"

Yang An looked at the direction of Baishen Island, couldn't help shaking his head, and continued to ask: "Still haven't found other pirate groups, as well as spies and traces of other forces?"

Everything is normal.

I'm afraid that is the biggest abnormality.

Yang An doesn't believe that these aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou will be slaughtered without resistance under his butcher knife.

He doesn't think that those enemies who have been hiding in the dark and spying on him will let go of this great opportunity.

A rabbit will bite when it is forced into a corner, let alone a group of greedy jackals, tigers and leopards?

So Yang An has always believed that behind all this normality, there must be endless turbulent undercurrents.

Li Jinzhong said: "Your Highness, I have asked people to drive the flying boat to investigate all the islands within a thousand miles, and no pirates or ships were found."

"I suspect that if there are really enemies lurking in the dark, they are most likely to use flying boats instead of ordinary ships."

"If the other party hides the flying boat, it is undoubtedly very difficult to find the hidden person among thousands of islands."

"In addition, I don't know if it is my illusion, but I always feel that the reaction of the White Demon Pirates is a little wrong. Everything is too smooth, so smooth that it makes me feel a little uneasy."

"So please allow me to go to Baishen Island to investigate in person."

Li Jinzhong was able to grow up step by step in the fiercely competitive Daqian Palace and become a military marquis of the Haizhou Imperial City Division. Naturally, he is not a fool.

Even though he knew that some high-level members of the White Demon Pirates had defected to Yang An, he still felt something was wrong. He always felt that everything was too smooth, so smooth that it was unbelievable and deeply uneasy.

So he planned to go to Baishen Island to investigate in person to determine the true situation of the White Demon Pirates.

"Yes!"

Yang An nodded slowly and agreed.

…………

The next day!

A naval fleet consisting of more than 300 large and small ships came across the sea from the north.

"I am late with my army, please forgive me!"

Wang Haichao, wearing full body armor, brought several deputy generals to Yang An to apologize.

Yang An did not take advantage of the topic, and smiled lightly: "The sea is unpredictable. If there is a storm blocking the road, it is not the general's fault. What is the crime?"

As his voice fell.

The solemn atmosphere in the big tent was quietly dissolved, like a spring breeze.

Wang Haichao and others were obviously relieved, and they all complimented: "Your Highness is wise!"

Yang An shook his head and did not take the compliments of the Tianhai Corps to heart. He smiled and said: "The generals came at the right time. The situation of Baishen Island has been found out. What to do next, I need to trouble the generals to discuss and formulate a detailed battle plan."

Because of his distrust of the Tianhai Corps.

Yang An did not tell about his deal with the Blood Slaughter Venerable.

Of course, this matter could not be told.

After all, he is a dignified prince of Daqian, how could he degenerate and collude with the demons?

It is definitely impossible!

So Yang An only implicitly indicated that there were already spies from the Imperial City Division who had infiltrated Baishen Island and would cooperate with the Tianhai Corps to a certain extent in attacking Baishen Island.

The specific plan for the Tianhai Corps to attack the island needs to be formulated by Wang Haichao and others.

After all, they are the generals leading the Tianhai Corps and are most familiar with and understand the Tianhai Corps' combat methods.

After Yang An finished speaking, he asked people to distribute all the intelligence collected by the Imperial City Division personnel to Wang Haichao and others for viewing.

This piece of intelligence information is slightly different from the intelligence information provided by Venerable Xue Tu.

It's not that the intelligence information provided by Venerable Xue Tu is false.

It's because the intelligence information provided by Venerable Xue Tu, although detailed and leak-free, almost covers all the information about Baishen Island and the White Demon Pirates.

But a lot of the information here is top-secret information of the White Demon Pirates, and the people in the Imperial City Division have no way to verify the authenticity of the information.

Therefore, in order to prevent the generals of the Tianhai Corps from being misled by unnecessary intelligence information, Yang An did not tell everyone this part of the information, but asked Wang Haichao and others to formulate a combat plan based on the information currently detected by the Imperial City Department.

After all, Yang An did not dare to guarantee that the intelligence information provided by the Blood Slaughter Venerable must be accurate.

What if the other party gave him nine true and one false, true and false, and finally caused the Tianhai Corps to suffer heavy losses because of the false information he provided to the Tianhai Corps.

Who should take the blame for this?

If he really wants to be held accountable.

Even if he jumps into the South China Sea, he can't wash it clean.

Moreover, in terms of arranging troops and marching and fighting.

Yang An felt that he should have confidence in the professional generals trained by the Daqian court.

Especially Wang Haichao, the Sea Dragon General.

No matter what, he is also a famous general who has been granted an imperial title in the Daqian court. If he has huge advantages in terms of manpower, weapons, ships, logistics, and even top combat power, he can still take down a group of pirates.

Yang An had to seriously evaluate the value of these Daqian generals.

Fortunately.

Wang Haichao's performance was worthy of the title of military commander.

Not only did he check for deficiencies and provide various feasible suggestions for the "annihilation of the White Demon Pirates" plan proposed by his generals.

He also took into account various factors such as the Blood Demon Cult, the South Sea Pirate Alliance, the Blood Soul Sect, and the Haizhou family clans that colluded with pirates, and proposed various advance response plans for possible emergencies.

Wang Haichao even made various predictions and targeted arrangements for the success of the annihilation of the White Demon Pirates and the changes in the situation in the South Sea after the failure.

He fully demonstrated the overall view that a legion commander should have.

Yang An couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

He didn't know how Wang Haichao's performance ranked among the legion commanders of the Daqian Dynasty, but one thing was certain.

That is, Wang Haichao's performance was better than his.

At least he didn't think as carefully as Wang Haichao, and he didn't seriously consider how much impact the Daqian court would have on the situation in the South China Sea after sending troops to defeat the White Demon Pirates, and how the court would take over the marine island resources controlled by the White Demon Pirates afterwards.

Just as Wang Haichao said.

If the Daqian court finally defeated the White Demon Pirates, a Black Demon Pirates would appear and occupy the sea area where the White Demon Pirates once lived.

Wouldn't the court's busy work be in vain?

In addition, experienced friends know that it is easy to kill but difficult to dispose of the body, and it is easy to rob a bank but difficult to escape.

The real action plan of the Tianhai Corps to encircle and suppress the White Demon Pirates this time is not complicated.

It is nothing more than destroying the opponent's ships and flying boats first to prevent the pirates from escaping.

Then land on the White God Island and break the White Demon Pirates' garrison defense.

Finally, with the cover of the Spirit Crystal Cannon, the army rushed to kill and wiped out all the pirates on the island.

The three processes are completed.

The task of wiping out the White Demon Pirates is also completed.

This process is no different from putting an elephant in a refrigerator.

What is really difficult is to deal with various emergencies inside and outside the battlefield after the war begins, the logistics and transportation support of the army, and the various post-war aftermath issues.

In addition, we must guard against the enemy's escape and ensure that our army can safely retreat strategically in the event of an unfavorable war.

To be honest.

Many of the questions raised by Wang Haichao, Yang An really hasn't considered them seriously.

Because he never thought that he would fail, nor did he think that he would really stay in Haizhou and become a king of Haizhou, let alone think that he would flee in defeat.

All he thought about was how many Haizhou aristocratic families and martial arts sects he could take advantage of this opportunity to clean up, how many secret enemies he could lead out, and how much money and silver resources he could gain after this incident.

He was confident that everything was under his control and there was no possibility of failure at all.

Now after listening to the war plan of Wang Haichao and others.

Yang An felt how one-sided his consideration was.

Of course, this does not mean that Yang An's ideas are problematic, but because everyone considers the problem from a different angle, the final decision is naturally different.

Yang An does not consider the logistics of the army, because he thinks that this is something that Wang Haichao, the commander of the Tianhai Corps, should consider.

He does not consider the problem of the enemy's escape and the problem of his own army's defeat and flight, because he has great confidence in his own strength, and does not think that he will fail, nor does he think that the enemy can escape.

As for the impact and distribution of benefits after the war?

This is an issue that the court should consider. It has nothing to do with him. Even if he wants to intervene, the ministers in the court will not agree.

So Yang An did not consider these issues. It is not that he did not think about it, but in his opinion, these issues are not what he should consider, and he subconsciously ignored them.

As the saying goes: "People should do their job in their position, and they should not do their politics if they are not in their position."

People should do what they are in. The butt determines the head. If you are not in that position, you will never be able to really consider the problem from that perspective.

As the commander of the Tianhai Corps, Wang Haichao's main responsibility is to guard the South China Sea of ​​the Daqian Dynasty and eliminate pirates.

So when he thinks about the issue of eliminating the White Demon Pirates, he also needs to think about the overall situation in the South China Sea and consider the impact of all aspects.

And Yang An is just a prince of Daqian. His mission is to eliminate the White Demon Pirates. Other things have nothing to do with him, and he does not need to consider too much.

Therefore, Wang Haichao considers more comprehensively than Yang An, which is completely normal.

He really thinks more simply than Yang An.

That is dereliction of duty and irresponsibility.

After understanding this point.

The shame in Yang An's heart disappeared without a trace, and he praised Wang Haichao in front of him: "General Wang is worthy of being a famous general of my Daqian Dynasty, he is really extraordinary!"

"I am relieved to let General Wang command this battle."

"After successfully destroying the White Demon Pirates, I will definitely report to my father and ask for credit for General Wang and the generals present."

Yang An said sincerely, but never mentioned the task arrangement of the Jinwu Guards and the three Haizhou Divisions.
