Chapter 577: Dragon and Tiger Pass (2)
The guards reported that General Zhou was drunk and was talking nonsense again.
He Tao looked helpless and sighed softly.
Yu Lianqi said: "Why is the general sighing?"
He Tao said: "It's not for that Zhou Feiyan. He is extremely smart, but his martial arts skills are not high, but he is full of wisdom, but he is mostly vicious and deceitful, and the effect is wonderful but not popular.
While the colleagues enjoy the results, they are disgusted with their cunning, and they may also discriminate against their gender, even if Zhou Feiyan welcomes them in every way, they still can't get the true friendship of their colleagues, so they gradually fall lonely, and they will get drunk every time they drink.
It's also strange, Zhou Feiyan was born in Lifeng Zhou Kingdom, before the age of twenty, he was a well-known local cultivation wizard and general, leading the army that has been trapped, attacking everything, and was once known as the lord of Huofeng.
Who knew that after the fall of the Zhou Kingdom, his qualifications changed greatly from then on, and his cultivation was no longer advanced, and he stayed at the peak of the Chengdan period. On the contrary, the brain melon seeds are strangely easy to use. It's no longer just a matter of attacking and attacking with trapping, but a trick to fall out, and you can win easily every time. Alas, you know, cultivation is incompetent, no matter how smart it is, what good is it. โ
"This... , "Yu Lian can't solve this matter, Dongzhou people like to decide the outcome by force, especially the Yan people, who prefer to go straight, at least on the surface, the bright and upright are naturally welcomed, and the sinister and cunning are not liked. What Yue Lian didn't know was that Zhou Feiyan was ostracized, which was related to Ke Ming and others' hatred of her for using Huangfu Cheng to plot against Gao Yuanfeng.
Yu Lian looked up and turned to the person who came to report the news, "What nonsense did she say?"
She said that the Yan people would not fight. Soldiers, treacherous ways, do everything, and victory is the only goal. It is necessary to both win and the process to be above board, hypocritical.
She also said that if she were Bai Lang, she would destroy our tens of thousands of strikers overnight. As long as the water is flooded, we will all have to feed the Wang Ba in the Dongjiang River. There's a lot of mess. โ
Yu Lian was terrified when he heard this, and stood up suddenly, "General He, have you ever heard what Zhou Feiyan said?"
He Tao got up and comforted: "Don't be surprised, Zhou Feiyan's words are just words of reasoning and hypothesis, she told me."
By the time our Chinese troops arrived, the Karakuri battalion had already built barracks as usual. Although the terrain is low-lying, only here is a wide area with abundant water sources and suitable for stationing.
She said that according to the current flow rate and width of the Dongjiang tributary, it would take at least several months of water to be effective. Unless Bai Lang starts to build a dam to stop the water as soon as he takes over Longhu Pass. But at that time, there was still a whole leather country between us and the Dragon and Tiger Pass, is it possible?
I also sent people to observe the flow of the river, and I did not see how shallow it was.
As for the fire attack that Zhou Feiyan said, I have placed a large number of secret posts in the Tonglin on the left just in case.
To say that poison is applied in water is almost a lie. This is not well water, how many drugs do you have to use to make a rushing river of toxins reach harmful concentrations?
However, since she mentioned it, I also asked the camp to test the water with livestock every time it fetches water.
Zhou Feiyan worried, we all responded one by one. Therefore, although Xianzun is at ease, in military affairs, his subordinates do not dare to slack off. โ
Yu Lian bowed his head, "That's good, that's good, it's not a big mistake to be careful." โ
At night, Bai Lang was dressed in a long robe, standing at the head of the Dragon and Tiger Pass, with a handsome face and a long figure, standing in the wind, with a graceful demeanor, more like a well-educated Confucian than a general commanding thousands of troops.
"Did Yu Lian really arrive at He Tao's camp?" Bai Lang said as if talking to himself, in fact, he had heard the report more than once, but he still wanted to ask.
"That should be confirmed. Someone in the shadows behind him replied, "The secret guard used the messenger hummingbird to successfully get in touch with the prisoner of war camp behind enemy lines, and someone saw Yu Lian's purple-clothed guards pass by in the afternoon." โ
Bai Lang, who has always been calm and iron-cast, felt that his heartbeat was slightly faster, and if he could net Yu Lian into his pocket, it would be ยทยทยทยทยทยท.
The last time I was emotional was more than three years ago, when I heard that the woman actually had a posthumous child.
That delicate shadow is an eternal pain in the heart, which has been hidden in the deepest part of the soul, and occasionally comes out to lick the wound when it is lonely in the middle of the night. Time is merciful, and it cares for the pain. But it's cruel, and you can't keep the face in your heart.

Just when everything disappeared as if it had never happened, the man who had been 'dead' for more than ten years flashed like lightning, leaving behind a son, and then he was really annihilated in the breeze and passing water.
At that time, Bai Lang's mood could not be described in words, for the sake of that child, Bai Lang could give up everything, so he went to Dixian Village. betrayed the teacher, sold the dignity and soul.
But later I heard that the child could survive, and Dixian Zhuang did not make much effort. This made Bai Lang have a feeling of being deceived, so he came to the Dragon Tiger Pass, and he could drag it out. To the above, he only said that he was thinking hard about the plan to turn defeat into victory, so that he could decide the situation with one blow.
It was a word of shirk, but I didn't want to receive a letter from that kid a few days ago, which made my delay become a strategy, and I really had a chance to defeat the Yan army in one fell swoop.
Since the child has given himself such a big gift, it will not work if he does not follow. If it's difficult, let's fight. Well, after expelling the Yan army, I can go to the snowy region to meet him in person. As long as he needs it, as long as he can forgive himself, it is okay to give him all the army and the eight kingdoms in the north.
Holding back the thoughts that shouldn't be there, "Are all the ministries in place?"
At this moment, Bai Lang felt that time was really annoying, always unhurried, swaying like an old man walking, never caring about whether people's hearts were urgent or not.
"It's all in place, and the Dark Guard Pill Camp has transported five thousand barrels of poison dissolved in light oil to the water's edge. Dump on time to ensure that the water near He Tao's camp is covered with a layer of medicinal liquid;
The first guard of the Karakuri battalion had already planted gunpowder on the impoundment embankment, and it was detonated at the beginning of the day, and the water level near the enemy camp began to rise;
The beast control team also drove a hundred shadowless mink to infiltrate the Tonglin forest at the ugly time to clear the enemy outposts.
The 200 ignition points selected by the second guard of the Karakuri battalion were ignited at the same time in the middle of the ugly hour, ensuring that the fire spread to the enemy camp at the beginning of the day.
In the middle of the day, the prisoner of war camp rioted on time, destroying the Donglongjiang Bridge ten miles behind the enemy camp and blocking the bridge holes as much as possible.
At the beginning of the Mao period, the withdrawn army of the original leather country, led by the two governors of Zhu Neng and Qin Ming, took a raft down the river to cover and kill. โ
In fact, these have been repeated many times in military meetings, and Bai Lang is always nervous to be confirmed over and over again in order to be reassured.
This battle is too crucial, not only the victory or defeat between the two armies on the front line, but also directly determines the survival of Zhongzhou.
Dayan thought that Bai Lang had only accepted the defeated armies of many countries outside the Guan, and it should take a while to win over the hearts of the people. Who knew that Bai Lang did not rectify the defeated troops of the Guanwai countries at all, but only divided them into two armies. It was led by Zhu Neng and Qin Ming, who had the highest positions among the remnants of the defeated army.
Then, it took only one sentence to complete the cohesion of morale, "If you win this battle, you will be innocent, and you will be able to recover your homeland, return to your hometown, and be promoted." If I lose, I will be guilty of the same crime as everyone else, and I will either die on the battlefield or go to prison. โ
The remnants of the countries outside the original customs instantly turned into desperate mourning soldiers.
Regarding the matter of sending secret guards to quietly build embankments and slowly store water four months in advance, his subordinates admired Bai Lang's planning in advance.
Bai Lang reciprocated with a wry smile, the battle situation outside the Dragon and Tiger Pass, he had deduced countless times, and always felt that the best final choice was to defend the Dragon and Tiger Pass and reject the enemy outside Zhongzhou.
At that time, the purpose of concealed water storage was to prepare for the arrival of this day, and to use the heavy water to wash away the mountain road in front of the pass and create some obstacles for the enemy's attack. Preparing to retreat so early was not to defeat the Yan army, but to turn Longhu Pass, the main road in and out of the Zhongzhou Plateau, into a dead end.
It was impossible for the empire to agree to such an approach, so no one said anything, not even his own cronies and guards who built the embankment, did not know their true purpose. It is even more impossible for the army on the opposite side to know. Hehe, the world makes people, but now it has become a far-sighted, and it is likely to make the name of Zhihu resound throughout Dongzhou.
Time passed slowly, and the mountain air became gloomy and cold.
Bai Lang still paced at the head of the city, looking out at the dark mountains from time to time.
The person in the shadow behind him persuaded: "Young Master, you will set off with reinforcements as a reserve at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, go back and rest for a while, so as not to lose energy." "This is the only monk on the face of the Bai family, Bai Pei of the side branch of the Bai family. Because of his outstanding talent since childhood, under the cultivation of the Bai family, which consumed a lot of resources, he became the protector of the Bai family. This time, it was because Bai Lang was on the battlefield that he was sent to Bai Lang to protect his safety. Brown only
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The boss of the Bai family's generation, whose wisdom and qualifications are outstanding, has been predetermined as the heir to the head of the Bai family.
Bai Lang shook his hand and avoided the topic, "Uncle Pei, you've worked hard all these years.
Now is not the past, I am also considered a high and powerful, after I go back, I am ready to ask for a knighthood for Bo Nan and others, and arrange for him to come out to take an official position. The branches and leaves of the Bai family are scattered, and it is not enough to rely on descendants alone. โ
Bai Nan is Bai Pei's eldest son and has been working in the Bai family firm. Feeling Bai Pei's loyalty, Bai Lang has long wanted to support his descendants to serve as officials and obtain aristocratic status.
But the stubborn Bai Pei didn't want to add the slightest trouble to Bai Lang, and always refused. His parents died when he was a child, and if it weren't for the Bai family, he wouldn't be where he is today. Therefore, he regarded himself as the son of the Bai family, that is, his children and grandchildren are loyal servants of the Bai family.
As always, Bai Pei replied, "It's not in accordance with the rules. As for those bastard boys, none of them have made it to life, and staying in Baifu can at least ensure their safety. If you have the heart, you can choose one or two of my grandchildren who are more brilliant in the future, and it is enough to promote them to subordinates. โ
The two chatted about family routines without a match, avoiding the upcoming big battle as much as possible.
"Report! The pill camp sent a message that the drug had been dumped. Bai Lang waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and continued to chat with Bai Fu, "Xia'er's talent is good, but it's a pity that it's a girl..." โ
There was a faint sound in the sky. Later, someone came to report that the embankment had been successfully blasted.
Bai Lang said: "Uncle Pei, I'm a little hungry, let the guards get some wine and food, and you can have a drink with me." โ
"Okay. Bai Pei called a personal guard, whispered a few words, and then went on to say some digressions to Bai Lang.
"Uncle Pei, do you think it's my retribution for killing people too much with my schemes. The first wife gave birth to four daughters in a row, and three survived. Marry another and have a daughter. When I gave birth to my second child, I simply didn't even have an adult.
Alas, I finally really liked one, but I had to turn against him. But he left a son, but he didn't recognize me. โ
Bai Lang chattered and chanted the scriptures, Bai Pei concentrated on being a loyal listener and did not interrupt. Retribution and the like, both of them know that it is nonsense. He knew that his eldest young master was just cherishing his son and remembering someone.
"Report!" the shouts of the comer were a little sceasing, "the Tonglin fire has been ignited. โ
The two of them looked up into the distance, and some light faintly appeared in the dark sky.
Bai Lang remembered one thing, "The herald ordered the clever battalion to immediately go to the fire ten miles away, cut down trees and establish a separation zone, so as to prevent the fire from spreading endlessly." With the assistance of the baggage battalion, all the felled trees were transported to the riverside in preparation for the restoration of Guanqian Avenue. โ
Tonight's battle situation has entered a critical moment, Bai Lang can no longer calm down, pacing back and forth on the head of the city, "Have the princes' armies assembled? Let them not worry, send orders to the meal camp, hurry up and prepare hot food, let the princes' troops eat a bite first, and be half full." โ
The subordinates responded to the order, in fact, these things were arranged by the corresponding auxiliary officers, and there was no need to worry about the commander of the first army, but Bai Lang always felt that he had missed an extremely important matter, and his mood became more and more irritable.
The pace accelerated, and he suddenly stopped, holding on to the battlements, staring into the distance, thinking repeatedly, all the arrangements on his side had been deliberated countless times, and there should be no mistake, then the problem should be the other party.
"That's right," Bai Lang cried out in a lost voice, "Yu Lian." โ
At that time, when I heard that Yu Lian had arrived at the front line, I was overjoyed, but I only knew that I would further refine the combat plan to ensure the success of the first battle, and I actually neglected Yu Lian's martial arts level. As a monk, Yu Lian has the ability to fly into the sky, how can the water and fire offensive keep him.
Bai Lang thumped his head in annoyance, "It's late, it's late." โ
"It's not too late," Bai Pei understood what Bai Lang meant, and said, "Young Master, Yu Lian will not ignore their thousands of troops and horses and get caught in the fire and fall into fire and fall and flee alone, especially when our army has not yet appeared. At the very least, he had to save He Tao and Zhou Feiyan. So I don't think he's gone yet. โ
"Yes, yes, Yu Lian must not have left. Bai Lang said happily, but the problem came again, it was still Yu Lian's skill, there were no other monks on the Zhongzhou side except Bai Pei and Bai Lang, who had concealed his skills from the outside world.
Bai Lang himself had just advanced to the rank of monk, and he considered himself not to be Yu Lian's opponent. As for Bai Pei, he has always been Bai Lang's hidden killer feature, and he is easily reluctant to expose it.
