Chapter 233 Attacking Jiang You, Straight to Dragon and Tiger

There was not much blood left in the royal family, and Zhou Bai did not kill Zhu Lang directly in the end, taking into account the views of the officials of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Instead, he was demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in a temple in Nanyun Province, and sent by Zhou Yuan who was sitting behind the town to guard him.

However, they did not show any kindness to the main fighters who had resisted resolutely in the city before.

This is widely advertised, if there are those who dare to easily follow the rebellion in the future, even if the main family is fine, you supporters will definitely die.

After the bloody suppression, the officials and gentry in Xishan Province were extremely obedient to Zhou Bai, and the officialdom had no complaints about his transfer and placement.

But in a more specific way, Zhou Bai did not continue. On February [-]th, the news that the Tatars suspended their haircuts and clothes changes had spread to Xishan.

He understands very well that the environment in which the war of planes is carried out is not the real world, but a virtual world drawn by imitating a historical fragment, which is the supernatural power of the law of heaven.

But even in the virtual world, all events formed by the intersection of characters develop according to the normal laws of the real world.

Zhou Bai rose up, and as the last backbone of the Broken Great Yan, he presided over the counterattack against the Tartars in advance.

All of these will inevitably affect the normal historical development, and he has long been psychologically prepared for unpredictable changes.

But Zhou Bai never expected that the big change would come so quickly.

Under the normal process, the Tatar court stopped shaving hair and changing clothes in November for the sake of face and breaking the backbone of the Han people.

But now it is a full nine months earlier, which is somewhat beyond Zhou Bai's expectations. Yichuan, Huguang, Lingnan and other places have not recovered their entire territory, and they have only won staged victories.

Could this be the "butterfly effect"?A butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the world can create a hurricane on the other side.

Zhou Bai was in the middle of the game and couldn't see through it. He just felt that it was too strange for Tatar to stop shaving his hair and changing clothes suddenly.

One or two months or even three or four months in advance is easy to say, but nine months in advance, it really almost wiped out the last chance of Dayan's comeback.

It hasn't been broken at all, it's purely Zhou Bai's own variable.

Taking advantage of the public anger aroused by Fengtian's campaign against Hu Xi, and taking advantage of the remaining courage of the rebels from all over the country, on February [-]th of the fourth year of Hong'an, Zhou Bai led the repaired Habayashi Army to the right of the river through the south of Lingnan.

With the experience of obtaining the three-foot sword, he can basically confirm that the dragon and tiger talisman stone carvings mentioned by Yang Hui are the wonders of luck in this world.

The legend of Mount Longhu is recorded in Taoist temples in the Southwest. Before the founding of Dayan, a dragon and tiger descended from the sky on the unnamed mountain on the right side of the river.

At that time, Emperor Taizu of Dayan happened to be marching by and saw this scene, so he named it Longhu Mountain.

As for how to discover the Tianshou stone inscriptions, how to build the Tianshi Mansion to sit in the town, and even make people cultivate the true way, Zhou Bai doesn't know.

But he can be sure that Dragon and Tiger Mountain must be the key to breaking the situation, and getting the luck of Dragon and Tiger can make martial arts shine again in this world of absolute spirits.

On February [-]th, the army entered Jiangyou, and there was chaos along the way.

There are rebels attacking the city, there are Tartars suppressing the rebels, and there are countless bandits taking advantage of the chaos.

In short, since Zhou Bai met, he would never miss it. This trip is not only for Longhu Mountain, but also for winning the land on the right side of the river.

Jiangyou is where Xingsheng is located, an important grain-producing area, and its military, cultural, economic and other aspects are all prosperous.

If Jiangyou can be firmly controlled, Huguang can go down at any time, and it will also greatly deter Jiangnan, forcing the Tartars to defend with heavy troops.

But Zhou Bai knew this truth, and the Tatars naturally knew it too. Ever since the Habayashi Army entered Jiangyou, Jiangyou General Hetua has been constantly dispatching troops.

On February [-]th, Hetua was yelling at his subordinates at the Jiangyou General's Mansion in Hongdu City, located in the north of Jiangyou.

"Suppressing the mob? What kind of mob is suppressing? Those muddy legs are at most knocking on the corners, and they are recruited by the supervisor."

"Let those idiots in front retreat to the city to delay time."

"Tell Ula that [-] Han banner troops plus [-] national soldiers must defend Qiancheng Mansion for half a month."

Repeated reprimands and military orders made his subordinates sweat profusely in this spring and February, so they could only keep responding.

But as Hetua's confidant, he had to check for omissions and make up for vacancies: "My lord, I heard that Zhu Ke is not simple. Although he is an unknown eldest son, he is the first royal family of the Yan Kingdom to make the King of Erke suffer."

"See if you can send some more troops to support General Wula. Jiangyou is not enough, so you can ask Nandu for help."

The reminder from his confidant made Hetua calm down a little bit, but after he thought for a while, he could only shake his head helplessly and said: "The south is too hot and humid, and the sons and daughters of the country are not used to it. But who would have thought that the Great Yan would be so corrupted that it would easily abandon thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the nobles would be reluctant to wait for the wealth from the south of the Yangtze River to be sent to the northern capital."

"Stabilizing the south of the Yangtze River is the prince's top priority. Although the shaving and changing clothes are temporarily canceled, the restlessness caused by Zhu Jun will take time to calm down."

The confidant seemed to understand but didn't understand, and said cautiously: "Master, you mean that as long as Jiangnan is not lost, everything else is lost, and you can easily get it back?"

This confidant is his own nephew, and Hetua doesn't mind explaining it in detail, since the world is about to be unified, it will be too late if he doesn't cultivate him.

"Well, yes, the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is the lifeblood to fill the loopholes in the north. Let Wu La support for a while, and then I will gather up the soldiers and horses who have dispersed to quell the chaos, and then I will deal with Zhu Jun. I dare to go so aggressively after taking advantage of it once. , [-] Yan troops, hmph..."

But before Hetua revealed his plan, the bloody frontline courier sent an urgent military report.

"The holy city was destroyed at noon on the [-]th..."

Entered Jiangyou on February [-]th, captured the first county seat, and captured the most important city in the south of Jiangyou on February [-]th?
Even the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals wouldn't be so fast, could it be that someone was collaborating with the enemy, or that something happened to Ula?

However, when Hetua finished reading the military newspaper, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Such a simple trick to lure the enemy can also be fooled!

On the way to march into Qiancheng, Zhou Bai got a shaved headed rebel army to take refuge in him. This was something he was allowed by Feng Tian's begging Hu Xizhong, so he naturally accepted their refuge.

But just after taking refuge, they made great achievements.

The temporary staff used this as a trick to lure the enemy, and asked all the rebels to put on Tatar armor and costumes, and taught them a few simple words of Tatar.

As a result, the [-] Yan army did not have a stable foothold, and the Tatar reinforcements supported by Qiancheng broke through the camp.

Ula was young and vigorous, and looked down on the weak Yan people. Hearing friendly soldiers screaming for killing at the top of the city, he immediately thought that he had a chance to make a great contribution, and personally led more than a thousand Zhentars from his headquarters and thousands of Han army flags out of the city to attack.

But this time he went there and never returned, and he had a trick to lure the enemy, not only lost his own life, but also easily lost the Qiancheng Mansion.

On the right side of the river, one south and one north, are Hongdu and Qiancheng, and the rest are just foils.

Once Qiancheng is lost, there is no major obstacle to going north. It can be said that the right half of the river has been lost.

Sure enough, in the next half month, the news of the loss of the prefectures and counties did not stop.

There are those who rush forward and forcefully take it regardless of the damage, and some who use various tactics to take it easily, which can be said to vividly show the spirit of Master Wang.

And along the way to the north, the scale of the king's division is also expanding. In addition to the [-] Yulin, there are another [-] rebels who can be used.

As for the larger number of surrendered troops, they will be reorganized later, which is not only a factor of combat power and trust, but also a worry that logistics will not be able to keep up.

The speed of Tatar's rise is too fast, Dayan has no time to rest and recuperate, and the resources that the three southwestern provinces can provide are very limited.

If it weren't for Jiangyou's wealth, he could use war to support war, Zhou Bai would not dare to "expedition to the north" no matter how anxious he was.

The strength of the Yan army entering Jiangyou was so amazing that Hetua had to take a defensive position. Just when he managed to gather [-] Han, Tatar Banner troops, and [-] miscellaneous troops to defend Hongdu Mansion.

The younger brother of the Tartar Emperor, who is in charge of all affairs in the south, the county king Erke sent him a secret order, asking him to guard the less important Daoshan Mansion on the right side of Hongdu Mansion.

What is there in Daoshan Mansion?Population, resources, and wealth are all at the end of the Jiangyou, and the most is the Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

I heard that Longhu Mountain is the node of the Great Yan Dragon Vessel, and the Tianshi Mansion is an important institution to suppress the national destiny, so after Hetua took office as General Jiangyou, he went there in person.

But after going there, it is just an ordinary mountain, and the mind will be quieter. There is no such thing as a god of Lao Shizi, and nothing happened after being burned to clean by him.

Well, those Taoist priests in the Tianshi Mansion did have some tricks, but under the iron hooves of his army, they were just tricks.

Hetua didn't know the meaning behind the secret order, but Erke told him that it was actually an order from the emperor of Beidu.

In this way, it doesn't matter whether Hongdu Mansion defends or not, Daoshan Mansion must be guarded first.

On February 25, Hetua's confidants guarded the provincial capital of Jiangyou, while he himself led an army of [-] troops and rushed to the neighboring Daoshan Prefecture.

There are only a few thousand real Tartars and more than 1 Han army flags. Of course, Hetua is a little uncertain, but there are still Jiangnan reinforcements coming.

This is the situation where the south of the Yangtze River has not yet been completely calmed down, and the bandits and pirates are still raging, so the reinforcements are deployed.

Such an obvious signal is enough to explain the importance of Daoshan Mansion to the imperial court, and it is also enough to explain the strict orders the emperor gave Erke.

Thanks to Zhou Bai's winning streak, all kinds of news and information came from the enemy-occupied areas, and it was clear that tens of thousands of troops were gathering at Daoshan Mansion.

At this time, the main force of the Yan army was three hundred miles away from Hongdu and five hundred miles away from Longhu Mountain in Daoshan Prefecture.

During the break, Zhou Bai called a trusted senior general in the army and stated his decision: "Everyone, I intend to lead the guards to Longhu Mountain."

As soon as the words fell, many brave generals knelt down to dissuade them: "Your Highness, no!"

"You are Dayan's last hope, how can you do such an adventurous thing!"

"The last general is willing to lead the army to supervise the country..."

The faces of these tiger generals turned red, obviously very anxious, they didn't understand why Zhou Baifei took the risk to go to Longhu Mountain.

Of course, the few people who spoke out were all real Yan people, who had no memory of the main world.

Generals from the main world, even if they were as violent as Gao Hu, would not refute Zhou Bai's decision at this time.

In their cognition, Zhou Bai has always been kind, and even the battle command is mostly based on the plans of the staff.

But once at a critical moment, he will often act decisively and make the most correct decision.

"I have to go alone, how difficult it is to hold the sky." Zhou Bai stretched out his hand, suppressing the excitement of the generals, and said with emotion.

Then he walked up to two local generals: "General Lan, General Luo, please assist Deputy Commander Lou to complete the next military operation."

Zhou Bai stared into their eyes, and his tone was very flat, but Lan Zheng and Luo Zizhen seemed to feel great pressure, they didn't dare to neglect them, and immediately took orders.

All words of persuasion were swallowed back into his stomach at this moment.

Both of them were thinking in their hearts, no wonder the old Ministry of Supervisors was silent, who could withstand such undeniable power.

With the cooperation of the main generals, a small army of more than a thousand people left the camp in the middle of the night, without attracting the slightest attention.

Only [-] war horses disappeared for no reason, but it was more eye-catching than the disappearance of [-] people. Lou Jinpeng needed to find a way to cover it up the next day.

There are no more than two fingers left to know, and they are all generals who have experienced the connection of the silk thread of luck. Their loyalty is guaranteed, and it is not expected that someone among them will leak it.

The thousand imperial guards were all the most elite fighters who traveled with Zhou Bai, and their identity in the main world was either a demon subduing soldier or a member of the imperial army.

Now that he is re-cultivating martial arts, even though he has completely completed his physical training, he has not lost the memories of all kinds of harsh battles. This is also the basis for Zhou Baizhang to enter the Daoshan Mansion.

One man and two horses, traveling day and night, reached the foot of Longhu Mountain in less than three days. For the five-hundred-mile cross-country march, for the demon soldiers in the main world, they could reach it in three days by running.

The small group of Tartar troops along the way were completely vulnerable to them, but the news that an elite Yan cavalry headed straight for Longhu Mountain could not be concealed.

Hetua didn't know that Zhou Bai was in this cavalry, but he knew that he must not let it go, a huge pocket was slowly closing.

On February 28, before dusk, Zhou Bai finally boarded Longhu Mountain.

The towering ancient trees, twining giant vines, and misty mist add a bit of immortality and beautiful scenery.

However, this is also an adjective sentence for most famous mountains. The highest peak where Tianshi Mansion is located is [-] zhang. Compared with those mountains with thousands of mountains and ravines, it is really not worth mentioning.

However, all kinds of legends about celestial masters subduing demons and dragons and tigers ruling the country are full of their mysterious features.

During the reign of the Yan Dynasty in 300 years, Longhu Mountain was always a forbidden area, and the Imperial Forest Army guarded the foot of the mountain, and no outsiders were allowed to enter without authorization.

He Tua slaughtered the mage, burned the Tianshi Mansion, and lived freely, which is considered to have brought this famous mountain down from the altar.

Where the top of the mountain is located, there is a piece of ashes and ruins. The glorious and majestic Tianshi Mansion in the records is only a ruined wall.

Zhou Bai didn't bring anyone to follow, because he knew about the Dragon and Tiger Stone Carvings, which are sacred objects that are only known at the master level, and are not something ordinary people can search for.

Hope!
Strands of gray-black calamity qi lingered around, and even the natural mountain qi seemed to be avoided.

But the palpitation of the Heavenly Book of Fate told him that the dragon and tiger stone carvings must be here.
