Chapter 183 Father and son kill each other, throw themselves into the trap

The artillery bombardment continued day and night, the wailing of the wounded, and the white silk seen everywhere. Sun Geng, the father of the Jiedushi, naturally understood the extent of the situation.

He knew that if he didn't look for a way out, let alone talk about flying dragons in the sky, claiming to build a country, it would be difficult to preserve even Sun's family property and bloodline.

However, when encountering this kind of predicament, deep down in his heart, he is not worried but happy, which is an emotion that has been suppressed for a long time and dare not express.

When a father is jealous of his own son?It is very rare, but it happened to Sun Geng, but it seems to be very common.

I was just in my forties, so why should my destiny only be on my son!
As the father of Qianlong, he has been close to Daxu Longqi for a long time, and is easy to be noticed, which may cause Qianlong to die halfway.

Therefore, he was a Jinshi in a dignified manner and became a fifth-rank Beijing official. When his official career was on the rise, he resigned and returned to his hometown to hide behind the scenes.

All for the sake of a hundred years ago, a Taoist priest who became acquainted with each other commented that the Sun family would grow out of the dragon, and in the future they should be able to separate one side and become king and hegemony.

The responsibility passed down by the patriarchs of the past generations is to improve the family's character, and you can get a blessed land in the world, and maybe there is still a chance. Think about the Dragon Court?
After all, as long as you have the destiny of Qianlong, everything is possible...

Fortunately, at the beginning, after Sun Yucheng showed his talent, Sun Geng, like other senior members of the family, also gave him full support.

This includes providing the family with resources, money and food, allowing him to privately recruit his followers and staff, raising the family's luck, helping him to pass the examinations, to be a Jinshi, to obtain basic status and so on.

After that, Sun Yucheng gradually showed the characteristics of Qianlong, recruited a large number of talents, and began to grasp the real power of the family.

At this time, Sun Geng began to feel a little unnatural. Even if he was not an official, he was a unique existence in the local area even if he was in charge of the county prefect alone.

Now that his son has put in a shot, everyone will praise him, and it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable.

Contradicted by the mentality of having to let go and being reluctant to bear power, the father and son gradually became separated.

However, in the general direction of fighting for hegemony, Sun Geng still gave his full support. Sun Yucheng was not hindered by training soldiers, hiding arms, buying government officials, making friends with big families in Bei'an, etc.

But Sun Geng's control over the right to speak within the family is getting tighter and tighter.

Then Sun Yucheng suddenly raised his troops. Once he became Jiedushi, holding the title and righteousness, the whole Sun family also leaned towards him, and Sun Geng's words became less and less effective.

Until Zhou Bai was born out of nowhere, one blow knocked him down, causing great luck, Qianlong couldn't fly into the air, and turned to internal fighting.

Relying on his seasoned and proficient political fighting skills, Sun Geng regained the power of the family, and then supported the ruling of the Jiedu Mansion as a condition in exchange for Sun Yucheng not easily interfering in the family's internal affairs.

That is to say, in the past few months, Sun Geng's ambition has been really ignited. With such immature methods of the younger generation, with the addition of destiny and luck, he can become the master of one party by virtue of a name of Jiedu.

He is not reconciled, I will do Jiedu, and I will definitely do better.

However, because Sun Geng has always retained a bit of reason, as the head of the family, he knew that Qianlong's destiny could not be forced, so he never really robbed Jiedu's power.

It's just that some changes have taken place in him since he doesn't know when.

Forget it within the family, at best they are more respectful than before, and some old stubborn clan elders have become obedient.

The point is that many foreign ministers seem to be moving towards him unnaturally. Many people find a way to find him here, and they trust him very much and are willing to obey his orders.

At the beginning of the war, a mysterious man in the city came to Sun Geng and told him the fact that he was destined to live.

In this way, all the unreasonableness can be explained. Qianlong is a born leader and easy to gather crowds.

Even if you don't take the initiative, someone will post it backwards. This is the attraction of luck.

Of course, in the past few days, the mysterious man just kept providing information for him.

The specific battle situation outside, what are the preferences and interests of the generals in charge of the military, and which officials of the Jiedu Mansion can win over...

Originally, Sun Geng was dubious, after all, his son was destined to be a potential dragon, but as the war situation worsened, the illusory destiny began to affect reality.

For example, the body that has gone downhill begins to rejuvenate, and the energy and spirit are extremely full. One day can handle the affairs that could only be handled in the previous half a month.

There are also ghosts and gods in night dreams, and ghosts and gods actually respect him.

Logically, when Sun Yucheng was defeated again and the mysterious man Yao An appeared to reveal his identity as the imperial court, Sun Geng did not have much doubt.

The personal keepsakes of the left counselor of the state government are barely enough, since they are all from the imperial court anyway.

If it weren't for the methods of the imperial court and the governor of Dingzhou, who would have such a capable person to plant such a dark hand in the county.

After some secret negotiations, Yao An generously made a promise.

As long as Sun Geng can obtain the actual control of the county, he will completely submit to the imperial court and obey the order of the state.

The governor was willing to mediate the war between the two sides, and transferred the position of Bei'an Jiedu to Sun Geng.

No matter how excited Sun Geng was, he still had instinct and rationality. He thought about what he missed and asked: "Master Special Envoy, Zhou Bai ignored the court's laws and didn't know how to deal with it. Can he be allowed to retreat? Otherwise, it will be regarded as seizure of power. I can't stand Zhou Jun's offensive either."

Yao An did not rush, and took out a recent Dingzhou mansion report: Dingzhou was guarding Zhenjun, Shaoyuan Zhenjun avoided the bombardment and killed the captain of the ship, seriously injured the captain of the fourth sequence, and the outer base of the ship was destroyed. capture all...

"The annihilation of the generals outside the territory in the state is just around the corner. Once the state army is unleashed, it will be able to go north for inspection today."

"The imperial court didn't move Zhou Bai before, just considering his status as a heavenly noble, but this doesn't mean that they can do anything arbitrarily."

"Governor Lei has decided that the entire area of ​​Bei'an County will be handed over to you, and General Fumo's mansion will be moved to Cangbei County."

Yao An's swear words made Sun Geng nod his head again and again. In his opinion, this logic is very correct.

"Listen to my orders. During this period of time, you must control more troops. Congratulations in advance, Marshal Sun Geng."

……

The combat operation against the counterweight trebuchet ended in a disastrous defeat, breaking the last courage of the city's government soldiers.

Many government officials who were loyal to Sun Yucheng found many reasons to convince themselves that it wasn't that they didn't want to fight, but that they really couldn't.

If the commander-in-chief can also put all the armor on his soldiers, and can also take out the giant trebuchet outside, and even as long as they can make their food comparable to that of the opponent, the generals will dare to bite the bullet and fight a few more times.

It's not that they don't work hard, it's actually a problem with equipment.

Sun Yucheng wanted to reprimand them very much. The army's cooperation, individual quality, and brave and fearless spirit are half as good as Zhou's army!
However, he didn't dare to get angry again, and he didn't even punish anyone, for fear that the general would be renounced and someone would rebel.

The commander-in-chief was silent, let alone other people.

Going out of the city to fight has become a strategy that all the generals of the Jiedu Mansion will never mention again. So far, only the Tingshan camp is left hanging outside in hope of breaking the situation.

As the battle became more intense, the catapult positions became higher and higher, and the verbal orders urging Lou Jinpeng to send troops became more and more intense.

Without external supplies, how long can Bei'an City, which did not store autumn grain last year, last?

Compared with logistics, the food, meat and vegetables brought in from Pingcang every day took longer than what the army in the city could eat in three days.

Sun Yucheng didn't have Zhou Bai's foresight. He started planning to farm and store grain a few years in advance, and spent most of his money to buy grain in other places.

Under heavy pressure, the earthy yellow dragon snake was ravaged by the huge dragon carp all day long, and no matter how good at killing and fighting, it could not compare with the difference in hard power.

At the end of April, when the house next to the Jiedu Mansion suddenly caught fire, Sun Yucheng issued nine imperial edicts to Lou Jinpeng within one day.

"There are still more than [-] elites available in the city. We will attack back and forth, with twice as many troops. The outcome of the battle has never been known."

"Take a stand on Tingshan, and sit back and watch the county fall? If you have any disagreements, please speak frankly, you can take it yourself; if you don't have any disagreements, please find the Zhou army for a decisive battle in the internal affairs within three days."

"If you win, you will win, if you lose, you will lose. I hope that you and I will complete this friendship between monarch and minister."

I don't know how many sentinels died before nine edicts came, and each edict had a letter behind it.

Sincere feelings, sincere words, straight to the heart...

In the face of Sun Yucheng's heartfelt words, Lou Jinpeng's insistence on his strategic thinking of waiting for openings and waiting for opportunities will be meaningless.

No matter whether the county city really can't hold on, or still has enough energy, as a courtier, Lou Jinpeng can only obey orders.

What's more, in the case of losing contact with the land in the south of the county, the military supplies and food can no longer support it.

In a decisive battle, do your best and obey the destiny.

On May [-]st, Lou Jinpeng led the army out of Tingshan, advancing steadily towards the county town.

Because the cavalry of the Zhou army covered the surrounding fields, there was no way to know the situation of all parties on the way, but Sun Yucheng's continuous urging letters were still delivered on time.

What does this mean? Lou Jinpeng also knows that Zhou Jun did it on purpose, and the opponent has absolute confidence to eat more than 2 of them.

Why didn't the protagonist who was once "wise and mighty" understand such a crude truth?
In fact, Sun Yucheng himself felt that his state was vaguely wrong, he often had headaches, was irritable and irritable, could not guarantee rational thinking, and was extremely exhausted physically and mentally.

As a monk in the second realm, Bu Yuanzi didn't diagnose any illness, he just said to rest.

Even if he is not the king of all evils, but he would not dare to use common calming spells on Qianlong.

But the body can't see the problem. As a dragon-supporting warlock who specializes in easy numbers, he can also deduce it from luck.

Successive failures in military battles have led to the decline of luck and sluggish dragon spirit. It seems to be caused by normal backlash?
But he is the closest and the person who understands the Sun family's dragon energy best, and his abnormal sixth sense makes Bu Yuanzi feel at ease.

Fulong warlocks can accept the "burial" of Qianlong's normal defeat. This is the consciousness that Bu Yuanzi has had since he embarked on this path.

What he couldn't accept was that there were other factors interfering, making Sun Yu's success or failure unclear.

In the past, intuiting the dragon's energy and deducing Sun Yucheng's related matters would cost at most a month or a few months of life, but this time it was ten years.

Touching the few strands of white hair that had grown on his head, Bu Yuanzi didn't feel sorry. He finally figured out what was wrong with Sun Yucheng's luck.

First of all, due to the defeat, Zhou Bai completely suppressed his luck, and then he was confused by the low luck and made many irrational decisions.

Fortunately, he has a way to solve this level of luck puzzle.

But the question of dragon energy that followed was extremely difficult.

Bu Yuanzi saw that the destiny was gradually departing, and the Sun family's dragon energy had abandoned Sun Yucheng and gradually transferred to Sun Geng?

And with the passage of time, the transfer speed of the dragon energy became faster and faster, otherwise he really doubted whether he could detect the abnormality.

Now Bu Yuanzi is faced with two choices, which is to help Sun Yucheng kill his relatives righteously, regain the Dragon Qi in time, and deal with the most critical decisive battle.

Or change jobs and continue to support Sun Geng to avoid Sun Yucheng's backlash after his defeat.

In the final analysis, he and Sun Yucheng are in an exchange of interests, not really deeply emotional.

Therefore, given the chance to survive and continue to help the dragon, Bu Yuanzi chose the first path.

Just when he was about to contact Sun Geng, he was surprised to find that the people from Wudingmen had already stepped forward and stayed by Sun Geng's side all day long.

In this way, Bu Yuanzi, who is Sun Yucheng's "confidant", has no chance at all, and Sun Geng will not believe him.

This kind of secret, as well as the actions of Wuding disciples, Wuding Daoist must know about it, and even acquiesce.

Forced to do nothing, Bu Yuanzi could only choose the second way.

In the dark room of a certain study in Jiedu Mansion, the Jiedu Great Seal is stored here, and it is the place with the most luck in the system. Even real people in the three realms cannot eavesdrop on the conversation.

Stimulated by various methods, Sun Yucheng held the big seal and woke up from the mystery of luck.

"...Young Master, your father has only one son. If there is a choice, the dragon energy will definitely return to you when it is transferred again."

After some explanations, Sun Yucheng finally understood his situation from Bu Yuanzi's mouth. There were wolves before and tigers behind.

The key point is that this tiger is still his own father.

Although Sun Yucheng has always been dissatisfied with Sun Geng's restriction of him and seizing the complete power of the family, he never thought that father and son would meet in battle.

He asked with a trembling voice: "The most direct and easiest way you said is to kill my father?!"

Bu Yuanzi also explained with some seriousness: "At this time and at that time, if there is no Zhou Bai's army outside, then naturally you can take it slowly. But now, alas...you make your own choice!"

"Your father and son possess dragon aura, and it's unknown who will kill them. Neither I nor the real person will make a move. We can only rely on our own means."

While the father and son Jiedu in the city were still hesitating, the camp of the Zhou army outside the city changed without a sound. To be precise, it was the people in the camp that changed.

As soon as Lou Jinpeng from Tingshan set off, Zhou Bai had already received the news, and the caution of the general's auxiliary star just left time for the main replacement outside Bei'an City.

That's right, the main soldiers of the Zhou army in Bei'an Camp have all been replaced by militiamen and young men drawn from the rear.

The counterweight trebuchets were still throwing non-stop, and the defenders, whose morale was low, couldn't even notice what was happening outside.

They can only be thankful that the enemy army seems to be still recharging their energy today and has not attacked the city on a large scale.

Mingxiu plank road and dark Chencang, as well as encircling the spot to fight for aid, are always classic but never outdated strategies.

Although the distance was only 2 miles, Lou Jinpeng walked with more than [-] people for a whole day, and it was only halfway through.

Because he is keenly aware that the danger is getting closer and closer, and the front is not Bei'an City, but the abyss of hell.

It was as if he had brought someone with him, stepping into Zhou Bobu's trap step by step, throwing himself into the net...
