My Cultivation Starting from Archery
Chapter 769 - 233 Dasheng Zhou Lang, Unrivaled Strategy_6

The blue bird delivered the intelligence regardless of wind and rain.

Sima Chi said: "This seems to be the Hai Dongqing of the Beiliang King, could it be that it has returned ahead of time?"

The blue bird left the intelligence and then flew away directly, without waiting for their response.

Sima Chi frowned: "What's with this feathered beast?"

"..."

Sima Yao picked up the intelligence, opened the letter, and on the pale yellow paper, there were only two big characters—flood.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared above the Heavenly Dome.

His body trembled slightly, then he shouted: "Hurry! Chi'er, go inform the Immortal Masters of the Seeking Immortal Tower, Zhou Rong is likely secretly digging the upstream river channels!"

...

The Central Army Tent of the rebel suppression army.

"This is outrageous!"

Prince Qi read through the court's reply, turning red with anger.

"The court actually disagrees with the suggestion to remove Zhou Rong's commander position! They say it's that Dan Liangcheng from the Shengyun Sect who stubbornly kept him! Could it be that Dan Liangcheng is also a fool?!"

"This..."

"How strange is this?"

The generals in the army were in an uproar.

"Indeed!"

"Zhou Rong spends his days in the barracks drinking and making merry, and yet the court doesn't remove him?"

"Is there really no one else available?!"

"Why not transfer Dan Liangcheng, the Master of War from the Shengyun Sect, here?! What are they trying to do?"

"Is it the Yan Party causing chaos again?!"

"No, this can't continue!"

"..."

"Gentlemen!"

Prince Qi interrupted: "How about we act first and report later, arrest Zhou Rong, and then I will take over as the commander, what do you think?!"

"There's no other way at present!"

"If Your Highness becomes the commander and we still cannot breach the city, we should retreat before Chen Sansi arrives!"

"Agreed!"

"Zhou Rong only recently broke through to the Mysterious Phenomenon realm; I alone can subdue him!"

"Take action!"

"Clang—"

The sound of swords leaving their sheaths rang continuously.

Prince Qi led several generals, bursting into the Central Army Tent with great momentum.

Two dancing girls shivered in fright upon seeing the scene.

"Your Highness?"

Zhou Rong paused slightly with a wine cup in hand, then calmly asked: "What are you doing?"

"What are we doing?!"

Prince Qi cursed angrily: "Zhou Lang, you child! In the nation's perilous times, you were given an important task, yet you take the opportunity to indulge yourself! By the authority of my supervisor position, I order you to hand over the Great Seal immediately, to await punishment, or else face death without mercy!"

"Heh heh~"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rong did not show surprise or anger, just smiled calmly, drank the wine in his cup, and was about to speak when a cultivator burst into the tent, seemingly to report something, but seeing the crowd inside, he immediately fell silent, casting a puzzled glance.

"Has something happened?"

Zhou Rong looked at the cultivator, and upon receiving a nod, he said: "Since the garrison in Shouyang city already knows, there is no need to hide it from everyone, go ahead and speak."

Only then did the cultivator say: "Two hours ago, cultivators from the Seeking Immortal Tower and the Guiyuan Sect attacked the water reservoir dam, but we have already repelled them, so Brother Zhou can rest assured."

"Reservoir dam? What reservoir dam?!"

Prince Qi slowly put down the long sword in his hand, questioning: "Zhou Rong, what deception are you up to now, hiding it from us?"

"Brother Cao, you may have misunderstood."

The cultivator laid out Zhou Rong's plan.

Flood Shouyang!

"You, you..."

Prince Qi slowly hid the long sword behind his back: "Zhou Rong, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"If the matter is not kept secret, it will leak, surely there are Enemy Army spies in the army."

Zhou Rong held his hands behind his back, calmly replying: "Although Chen Sansi is not here, making it difficult to thwart my plan, it is always better to be cautious."

"So you're saying..."

Prince Qi looked at the dancing girls squatting in the corner: "Your drinking and making merry, is it to deceive the people in the city by disguising your true intentions?"

"I, Zhou Rong, as the head of the Qilin, need not hide my brilliance!"

Zhou Rong lightly shook his head, smiling faintly: "I was indeed passing the time by listening to music because the army life is dull. If Your Highness insists on seeking accountability, please do so after the war is over."

It was just for amusement...

The other party admitted guilt.

But Prince Qi and others couldn't find any fault with it.

As long as we win the war to save the country, even if there are two hundred dancing girls, it wouldn't be a problem!

"Ladies and gentlemen, prepare a banquet."

Zhou Rong said: "The city's garrison is already a turtle in a jar; we just need to wait for the flood backflow, then we can eliminate these tumors and head north all the way, striking directly at Mei Mountain!"

The phrase 'striking directly at Mei Mountain' is a reference to the Four Crossings of Hongze campaign of Ming State, accomplished under Chen Sansi's command.

Inside Shouyang city, chaos ensued.

"Father!"

"A few Immortal Masters cannot destroy the dam!"

"The water level is rising higher!"

"It's already too late!"

"Attempt to break through, please, several Daoists, try once more."

"..."

All efforts were in vain.

Forty days later.

The dam upstream of Luo Xiao River collapsed, and a massive flood poured down the scoured river channel overwhelmingly, nature's calamity, unstoppable!

In the end.

Sima Yao and others fled the city along with a few cultivators.

Countless soldiers in the city drowned.

After the flood.

The thousand-year-old city of Shouyang was utterly destroyed, countless fields were ravaged, houses were demolished.

From then on.

No one in the rebel suppression army, including Prince Qi, dared not obey Zhou Rong!

"Lord Zhou is indeed the descendant of the Qilin head!"

"The Jade Qilin! The Jade Qilin!"

"This time, although Sima Yao won, you could also say Lord Zhou outwitted even the White Robe!"

"Dasheng has Zhou Lang!"

"Unrivaled open strategy!"

The torrential rain continued.

Zhou Rong, dressed in a long robe, stood amidst the heavy rain, spreading his arms to feel the water descending from heaven:

"Pass down the command!

"All four hundred thousand troops are to board the ships; the naval forces are to march north for a decisive battle with the Enemy Army at Chibi!

"Chen Sansi's Five Elements belong to fire, I, Zhou Rong, belong to water!

"Heavenly Water conquers flames!

"Chibi will be the burial ground of the White Robe!"
