Back in the forward battalion, He Ran inspected it again, and he didn't see anything wrong, Dongfang Ao's talent he could rest assured,

After turning around, Dongfang Ao Yu reported: "There is also a small battalion ten miles to the northwest, and it is stationed with men and horses sent by Dongchuan to help in the war. ”

He Ran smiled and said, "The Marquis is polite enough, and it is enough to subsidize the grain and grass, how many people did he send." ”

"Four thousand, the leader of the troops is Li Yong, the general of Dingkou of the former Zhao State, and the military advisor will see whether to summon him over to pay homage or go over to meet him in person."

"Let's go and see, go now." He Ran took the reins of the wind from Zhong Zheng's hand, turned over and got on the horse,

Although the Dongchuan camp is not big, but the guards are very strict, He Ran and his party were stopped by the sentry post three miles away from the camp, the small leader who led the team knew Dongfang Ao, but still did not dare to let it go at will, accompanied by a smile and asked them to wait for a while, and wait for the main general to be released,

He Ran and Dongfang Ao are both in charge of military discipline, so naturally they will not be embarrassed for him, Dongfang Ao instructed: "General Li, our military division is here." ”

Only then did the little leader know that the amiable young man beside General Dongfang was the famous Yi ** Master, and hurriedly led his subordinates to give a new salute, and then Pegasus went back to report,

Soon Li Yong took them out, and after the worship was finished, he invited them into the camp.

This Li Yong is in his early thirties, half a head taller than He Ran, with a Chinese face, sword eyebrows, bee waist and tiger back, striding and wind, quite a general's style, facing the two No. 1 people in the army of Yi Guo seems polite and courteous, without showing a trace of flattery,

After the tea, Li Yong said according to the cliché: "The army is simple, only coarse bitter tea, please forgive the military division and the Dongfang general." ”

He Ran nodded with a smile and said, "The Marquis of Zi Zhen understands the righteousness, and resolutely erected the banner of Zhao at the behest of the Son of Heaven, which is really admirable, and the general has worked hard. ”

Li Yong smiled faintly and said: "Where the responsibility lies, I dare not say hard work." ”

He Ran asked: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of the general, the general has the same surname as the Marquis of Zixiao, and I don't know if there is any kinship." ”

Li Yong replied: "There is no kinship, the last general is from Xihe, who was ordered to come to Dongchuan to garrison." ”

"Oh." He Ran nodded, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "That general can agree with the Marquis of Zi Xiao to carry Zhao Zili in his heart." ”

Li Yong smiled noncommittally and said: "The last general will be Zhao Guodong and kill the west, he joined the army at the age of fifteen, and there are more than ten scars on his body, just because there is no one in the court to this day, he is only the lowest general, although he dare not say that Zhao Guo is responsible for me, at least I can say that I do not live up to Zhao, the last general is a lowly official, and there is nothing to say even if he arrives in Dongchuan, he just wants to save the lives of these brothers as much as possible." ”

"Okay." He Ran praised, "For the general, you should regard your subordinates as siblings, only such a general is worthy of his subordinates." After speaking, he said to Dongfang Ao: "General Dongfang, I want to transfer these brothers from Dongchuan to the rear camp to station, what do you think?" ”

Dongfang Ao naturally would not object, and the military advisor asked this question to show respect for himself, so he agreed: "I have no objection, the military advisor is in charge." ”

Li Yong showed gratitude, got up and bowed: "Thank you for the success." ”

He Ran waved his hand to let the guards on both sides retreat, and then spoke: "I like to have something to say, if you say anything inappropriate, I hope to forgive me, the general is separated from the Marquis of Zixiao, if my guess is right, I sent you to help the war should be to use this to consume the general's soldiers and horses." ”

Li Yong showed a wry smile, looking at He Ran without speaking, that expression said it all,

He Ran smiled slightly, and said: "The world says that I am cunning and wise, and I also admit that sometimes I am scheming, but I only have a sincere heart for the officers and soldiers in the army, because they gave their lives to me, you don't need to thank me, I won't use it if you are not a person with one heart, you have commanded the army for many years, and I don't need to say much about the truth, since I have said everything that should not be said, why don't you be happy, are you still afraid that I will go to the Marquis of Zi to sue you for nothing." ”

Li Yong snorted bitterly and said: "The military advisor's eyes are like torches, and he only talked about three or two sentences to gain insight into the twists and turns, and the last general has nothing to hide, there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and the last general does not dare to resent the Marquis of Zi, after all, the last general will come to Dongchuan day by day, and it is reasonable for the Hou Ye to be uneasy about the last general, but it only dragged down the soldiers of this battalion." ”

He Ran smiled and said: "That's right, what do you say to me, I will not be difficult for you, take your men and horses to the back to camp at ease, I will not transfer you to the battle until the last resort, but ugly words can be said to the front, if there is really that moment, it shows that I really need the general's help, and the general will not bear me at that time." ”

Li Yong is a hot-blooded man, listening to the words of the military advisor, he said excitedly: "Originally, my people and horses have no life in front, the military advisor is so kind and kind, Li Yong is a person who knows what is good and bad, there is really an urgent moment, if we fall behind the Yi army after we go into battle, the last general is willing to kill himself to thank the military division." ”

"Well, it's my generation." He Ran raised his big finger and said to Dongfang Ao with a smile,

Leaving Li Yong's camp, Dongfang Ao whispered: "It is very appropriate for the military advisor to arrange it this way, to tell you the truth, I have always been worried about this side, it is better not to have this army, but I have to guard against any misdeeds from them." ”

He Ran said: "He chose a good place to camp, and I will deploy a group of men and horses to camp here, and there are 3,000 people to protect your right flank." ”

Dongfang Ao glanced back and said, "I have talked to this Li Yong a few times before, he is indeed a man who can fight, no wonder he complains that he can't be reused." ”

He Ran smiled: "You and him have a sympathy for this." ”

Dongfang Ao sighed: "If it weren't for the chance encounter with the military advisor in Xiping, I, Dongfang Ao, may never have a comfortable mind in this life." ”

He Ran whipped him on the shoulder with a horsewhip and said with a smile: "If you have to learn so well in the morning, you won't be an earl in Xiping." ”

Dongfang Ao knew that the military advisor was making fun of himself, and he didn't confess anything anymore, he only laughed heartily,

It was late to return to Dongfang Ao's camp, and He Ran still needed to discuss with the generals about the plan to break the enemy, so he would not return to the Chinese army.

A group of generals in the big tent to eat and talk, everyone understands the temperament of the military division, since the choice of such an occasion to discuss, that is to let them speak freely, so everyone has expressed their opinions, but in the face of the current situation, no one has a very good way, to discuss and discuss, can not be a hard attack is a consensus, can be regarded as the best policy is only Dongfang Ao's offer to lure the enemy to attack: the army made to give up the attack on this fortified city, and made a posture to Jingqu City, leaving a group of men and horses here to monitor, and then use the grain transport troops to lure the enemy army out, Then kill the horse pistol again,

He Ran didn't know whether Dongfang Ao's strategy would work, but it was worth a try in the absence of other good strategies, he didn't say anything immediately, he needed to go back and discuss it with Xu Tong again.
