Chapter 182 Bloodline Tracing, Big Defeat

What did Zhou Bai see?

Seeing the slender yellow snake of luck that has not yet transformed into a python, it looks strong on the outside and strong on the inside.

Although it still maintains a fierce and vigilant appearance when faced with a dragon carp that is several times its size, on the inside it is timid and does not want to fight a bloody battle.

For no other reason than because the dragon energy at the core of the dragon snake is quietly transferring and passing away.

If Zhou Bai is not a hidden dragon, is sensitive to dragon energy, and does not have perfect Qi-gazing skills, he can detect many clues from the subtle aspects of his luck.

It may be that you really can't notice it, but the traces of purple energy extracted from the dragon and snake's body escape into the void.

But where exactly it goes is still unclear.

In a head-on battle, naturally they couldn't kill as recklessly as the vanguard. The demon-suppressing army did not launch an attack all afternoon, but instead set up camp first and set up a strong camp.

It was night, in the Chinese army camp, Zhou Bai was sitting cross-legged in the tent, with mixed thoughts in his mind.

Sometimes I think about military mobilization, storming, luring the enemy to fight in the field, and how to break the city.

Occasionally, I thought that after we really broke through the city and captured Sun Yucheng, but because Qianlong's destiny had been partially transferred, what if we didn't achieve the full success?

Not to mention that Qianlong's destiny is hidden and will cause hidden dangers in the future. Let's talk about his gentle carp, dragon and elephant. If he wants to change to the way of dragon, he must not miss the Sun family's dragon energy.

When a carp swallows a dragon, the first one must not be too strong, otherwise it will be difficult to digest.

If Sun Yucheng knew Zhou Bai's thoughts, he would definitely fight against him at all costs. It took a hundred years for Bei'an County to be established and he gave birth to a hidden dragon like him.

Even if I am a bit weak in nature, how can I become the evolutionary material you talk about? It is a shame and a great disgrace!

Perhaps sensing the evil intentions of the dragon and carp, the earthy yellow dragon and snake neighed loudly, and the influence of his luck made Sun Yucheng upset.

It happened that someone proposed a night attack again at the military meeting, so he decisively agreed and ordered a brave and loyal general under his command to lead five hundred elite yamen soldiers to sneak out for a night attack.

"Our army is waiting for work. We should attack the enemy camp at night while its foothold is not stable. This may arouse the roar of the camp, weaken its energy, destroy and burn the food and grass..."

After the defeat in Futong Town, he lost his confidence in field battles. The many strange looks and voices made Sun Yucheng, who was in a downturn in luck, feel dizzy and could only see the benefits of the night attack.

I didn't listen to the words of more generals who warned me not to act rashly, that the enemy's camp was solid, their troops were elite, and their security must be tight.

Soon, a cry of death rang out from a corner of the camp, and there were even sporadic firelights.

"Each camp sleeps peacefully and performs its duties..."

Facing the night attack, Zhou Bai still sat calmly in the tent, not to mention panic, not even a trace of negative emotions.

There was no one else around at this time, only Li Yuan, the monk accompanying the army, was called over for consultation.

"Taishan collapsed but his appearance remained unchanged. General, you have such a good temper. Even if your subordinates don't understand the game of fighting between two armies, they will be more confident because of your performance." Li Yuan's ears moved slightly, listening to the sound of fighting in the distance.

Then he complimented Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai shook his head slightly and said nonchalantly: "This trivial matter can be described as the collapse of Mount Tai. At most, it is just a night attack by hundreds of people. It does not affect the overall situation. Our army is training, and night attacks are a must-have subject."

"What I would like to ask is, does Daoist Li know about the transfer of Qianlong's destiny in history?"

During this expedition, in order to deal with various situations, in addition to Yu Yueyun leading the necessary Taoist officials to guard the place, most of the Taoist priests of the General Mansion accompanied the army.

However, Zhou Bai likes to call Li Yuan to discuss matters the most, not only because he is in the second realm and is the strongest in thunder magic.

Furthermore, because he was an official within the Daxu Daolu Department close to Jiazi, he had experience in Daoist officials at all levels in the capital, prefectures, counties and other yamen.

He is familiar with many secrets, luck, Qianlong and other Taoist records that are unknown to casual cultivators and even sects, and has browsed and studied them all.

"The transfer of destiny does not often occur. There are many known situations. For example, a Qianlong loses his moral character and acts in the opposite direction, causing anger and resentment. Or in the process of fighting for the dragon, he suffers a huge defeat and is deprived of his destiny by another Qianlong...

…" Faced with Zhou Bai's inquiry, Li Yuan did not dare to be negligent and told him what he knew about the situation.

He now admires this demon-suppressing general more and more. Not only is he strong, but he is also good at governing the place and leading troops to fight.

As long as you make enough meritorious deeds, you can expect to achieve the Three Realms.

Zhou Bai frowned slightly and asked more clearly: "I didn't lose to the point of being deprived of my destiny, but my destiny was transferred. Can the dragon's energy be traced back?"

"You mean there is a transfer of dragon energy in the Sun family's dragon veins?" Li Yuan was startled and asked subconsciously.

However, he quickly reacted and knew that Zhou Bai was not innocent, and continued: "The most likely thing is that it is transferred in the blood. For example, after the death of the first emperor, the destiny will naturally be transferred to the prince, making him lucky enough to become the new emperor.

.”

"There is a record in the Daolu Division archives. During the troubled times, a small country was destroyed by a neighboring big country. As a result, the small king's family had orphans who were not exterminated, and the transfer of destiny left hidden dangers."

"In the end, the orphan of the small country seized the opportunity to rise up, destroy the big country in one fell swoop, and complete his revenge."

Zhou Bai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Transfer according to Qianlong's bloodline?"

"That should be the case. Only in this way can we preserve the destiny to the greatest extent and transfer it to the branch. Although it is hidden, the loss of dragon energy is too much." Li Yuan handed over his hand and said yes. At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart that when he looked at the energy, Sun Yucheng really didn't find anything.

wrong.

While he was talking, the shouts of death and commotion outside had completely disappeared.

Qu Zhi, the commander of the soldiers who had been silently guarding outside, came in at the right time and reported: "My lord, five hundred enemy troops attacked the rear camp at night and tried to burn the food and grass. They were all wiped out by the troops on duty."

"Well, it's not polite to come back and not return. Tell Zhou Yuan to send five hundred people to each city gate to pretend to attack the city. There should be a lot of noise." Zhou Bai had already expected this result and said with a smile.

He brought 15,000 men, 10,000 garrison troops, and 5,000 demon-fighting troops, all of whom were the best of the best.

With the intentional increase in meat and vitamin supplements from corn, at least 80% of the soldiers would be able to see at night, not to mention completely eliminating night blindness.

"Also, call Zhou Qi."

"Here." Qu Zhi didn't have any extra words, just looked solemn and took the order to leave.

Not long after, Zhou Qi hurried over to report. It could be seen that he was sleeping with his clothes on, waiting for a call at any time.

"The deputy commander of the Xuanyi inner guard, Zhou Qi, has met my lord."

Li Yuan was very sensible and pretended not to hear Zhou Qi's identity and immediately bowed and resigned.

Zhou Qi was born in a branch of the Zhou family, and was born in the same class as Zhou Bai. He was also considered a very famous young man in the family at that time. After all, it is not easy for a branch to produce a scholar.

Later, as Zhou Bai's reputation increased and he needed a lot of manpower, Zhou Qi officially gave up the imperial examination for various reasons and turned to Zhou Bai.

In the beginning, he dug red mud mines and achieved great results by selling red mud, which showed his ability.

Later, he cooperated with Zhou Rui to manage the family business in an orderly manner. In the process, Zhou Bai discovered that Zhou Qi was very good at collecting information and was bold and careful.

Therefore, after consulting with him, he went behind the scenes and became a low-key Xuanyi guard, gradually becoming a qualified spy leader.

Until now, when Yao An sneaked into Bei'an County to take charge of the overall situation, Zhou Qi has become Zhou Bai's side and the figure in charge of the overall situation of Xuanyi Guard.

"Well done, the battle at Futong, as well as the intelligence on Tingshan and other strategic locations in all directions were very timely." Seeing that this young man, who was only a few years older than himself, was growing up so fast, Zhou Bai was not stingy with his own efforts.

Praise.

Zhou Qi's Xiang clan branch had a worse start than his direct descendant of the seventh family.

I still remember that in his past life, Zhou Qi changed his most ordinary destiny just before his entire family was destroyed.

Of course, in this life, with Zhou Bai's help, fame and position, and more opportunities for training, he is now a red natal.

"This is the duty of my subordinates." Zhou Qi was delighted, but still remained humble.

From the direction of the city, one could hear that the night attack and harassment of the city had already begun, so Zhou Bai did not waste any time and asked directly: "Can you contact the hidden people in the city now? There is something very important. It is best to do it in person from Yao An."

Go do it.”

Zhou Qi had already got clues about various situations and immediately replied: "Now that the city is under martial law and the four gates are closed, it is too difficult to sneak into the city. However, we have our people at Shuimen, and the night raid is now busy, so we can just pass the news.

In the entire Bei'an County, there are very few formed water veins and water sources are scarce.

There used to be a Canglan River, but now it has dried up, leaving only a tributary of the Liang River flowing through the county.

Therefore, in one county and seven counties, only the moat of the county city will ensure that there is water in it and play a certain defensive role.

After learning about Minato's secret, Zhou Bai immediately wrote a letter in secret and gave it to Zhou Qi to deliver in person.

…

For several days, the Zhou army did not do much other than build siege equipment and provoke battles.

This made many people in Jiedu Mansion relax a lot. In a siege, besieging a city is a common method, but you only have 15,000 people, how can you completely surround it.

"I thought Zhou Baizhen had some magical means from heaven that could break the city overnight, but now it seems that's the case."

"If there weren't thousands of cavalry covering the battlefield, why would they be surrounded by so many people?"

"If General Lou pulls his 30,000 troops over, we will have three times the strength of the opponent and still be unable to defeat him?"

After the tension of the first two days, when the officials of Jiedu Mansion saw that Zhou Bai did not dare to attack the city, all kinds of comments came out.

Only Sun Yucheng, who suffered losses from Futong and Night Attack, is now more stable than everyone else. He always feels that things are not that simple.

However, the uneasy atmosphere in the city eased a lot, and Sun Yucheng, as the governor, could not do much to suppress it, and allowed his subordinates to brag to boost morale.

The big families who couldn't figure out the situation for a while donated money and food to support. Many people also murmured in their hearts that if General Fu Mo couldn't break in, then they would have to be more calm.

However, soon one after another battles were reported into the city, and the situation reversed instantly.
