#2072 - Chu Hao's plan to break the impasse

Chu Hao gave Tang Sanzang and his disciples a series of instructions, and they immediately acted accordingly, following Chu Hao's plan.

Tang Sanzang arrived in Yuxia Prefecture, where the situation was most tense. The Indian army was at the city gates, and the city was in chaos due to religious conflict.

"I am an envoy sent by the Prison God to convey his orders."

After arriving in Yuxia Prefecture, Tang Sanzang declared his identity to the people.

Yuxia Prefecture was in utter chaos. Businesses were closed, disputes were rampant in the streets, and there were even large-scale conflicts among the people.

Although the faction that believed in the Prison God was in the ascendant and controlled the overall situation, there was no one who could take charge of the overall situation.

At this time, with Tang Sanzang appearing as the Prison God's envoy, the people who believed in the Prison God naturally regarded him as their leader.

After all, the title of Prison God's envoy was very useful, and those who believed in the Prison God should naturally obey the Prison God's orders and will.

"The Prison God orders you to immediately stop the chaos, restore order, and resume normal activities."

Tang Sanzang conveyed Chu Hao's message to the people.

Because of the religious conflict, these prefectures, counties, and states were in chaos. In such a chaotic situation, facing the threat of the Indian army, there was almost no power to resist.

"Since it is the Prison God's will, we must obey it."

"The Prison God wants us to stop causing trouble, and this is for our own good."

"Long live the Prison God! We will respectfully follow the Prison God's arrangements."

The people all regarded Chu Hao, the Prison God, as their faith and obeyed him unconditionally.

While Tang Sanzang was stabilizing Yuxia Prefecture, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were also conveying the Prison God's will in other prefectures, counties, and states.

Like Yuxia Prefecture, the other prefectures, counties, and states stopped causing trouble after hearing the Prison God's will.

In just one day, the situation in those originally chaotic prefectures, counties, and states had clearly improved.

While the situation in these prefectures, counties, and states began to stabilize, the most crucial step arranged by Chu Hao, Sha Seng's task, also officially began.

The task that Chu Hao arranged for Sha Seng was to negotiate with Xiong Hai, the leading general of the Indian army.

This was also why this task was not suitable for Sun Wukong and the other two, because their personalities were too strong. Letting them negotiate would probably have the opposite effect.

Although Sha Seng didn't talk much usually, he had also been the Curtain Lifting General in front of the Jade Emperor.

Having served the chairman of the Heavenly Court, his ability to advance and retreat with propriety and observe people's expressions was naturally excellent.

Sha Seng arrived at the Indian army's camp and met with Xiong Hai to negotiate on behalf of the prefectures, counties, and states.

"Who are you? How can you represent the people of those prefectures, counties, and states?"

Xiong Hai looked at Sha Seng, wondering where he had come from, and asked with great doubt.

"Of course I can represent those people, because I am the Prison God's spokesperson."

Sha Seng declared his identity very proudly, which was actually a strategy.

For negotiations, momentum is very important, so Sha Seng showed an arrogant appearance, highlighting his full confidence.

"The Prison God's spokesperson, then you are indeed qualified. I wonder what you want to talk about?"

Xiong Hai naturally knew that this chaotic situation was caused by the Prison God's faith. Since those people believed in the Prison God, they would definitely obey the Prison God's arrangements.

Therefore, since Sha Seng was the Prison God's spokesperson, he could represent those people and negotiate with him.

"Of course, we are talking about the general withdrawing his troops."

"Rebellion? You can send people to inquire. Now, the various prefectures, counties, and states have begun to gradually stabilize. Where is there any rebellion?

This so-called rebellion is nothing more than a religious conflict caused by your Indian country's own poor governance."

Sha Seng smiled at Xiong Hai, and his words pointed out the key to the matter.

As a general, Xiong Hai was naturally not a昏庸 person. He was also clear about this in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say it directly because of his status.

"Even if the current situation has improved, I must still ensure that these prefectures, counties, and states are within the scope of Indian rule and cannot be independent!"

This was Xiong Hai's mission, and he had no room for retreat. The Indian court would not allow him to make the slightest concession.

"Of course, I can guarantee this."

Sha Seng nodded to Xiong Hai and made a guarantee.

"As long as I see this result, I can withdraw the troops."

As long as he could stabilize the situation and ensure that those prefectures, counties, and states still belonged to the administration of India, Xiong Hai's mission would be completed.

"General, this only satisfies your conditions. Since it is a negotiation, both parties should be satisfied, not just you alone."

It must be said that Sha Seng's control of this situation was indeed very measured.

"You can tell me what conditions you have."

Xiong Hai was very happy to hear Sha Seng say that he could meet his requirements, and his attitude naturally changed a lot at this time.

"My request is very simple, that is, the issue of the people's faith. Your Indian country must not interfere in the future."

What Sha Seng said was naturally Chu Hao's meaning.

Although there had been independent countries such as Mie Fa, Fengxian County, and Yuhua Prefecture before, it had now touched the heart of India.

India would not allow those prefectures, counties, and states to be independent, so forcing them to be independent would inevitably lead to future wars and disasters.

Therefore, Chu Hao decided to change his approach. As long as he could maintain his faith, this faith was an invisible force.

Constantly accumulating strength, and then carrying out an overall explosion, only in this way can the entire vast India be subverted in one fell swoop.

"This... I can promise."

After thinking for a moment, Xiong Hai nodded to Sha Seng and replied.

However, at this time, it was still necessary to report to the Indian court, but since Xiong Hai could agree, it meant that he could basically facilitate this matter.

"Okay, in two days, all the prefectures, counties, and states will return to normal. The general can send people into the city to take over, and the army can also withdraw."

Sha Seng said to Xiong Hai with great confidence.

"Okay, as long as this is the situation, I guarantee that I will withdraw the troops immediately."

Xiong Hai also made a guarantee.

This negotiation was considered a success. Of course, although this negotiation was a success, it was only a part of Chu Hao's response plan.

And Chu Hao's real purpose was naturally to expose the conspiracy of the Western Paradise through this negotiation.
