In order to make up for the lack of troops, Shi Lang transferred 10,000 soldiers from Xiangguo Gong to garrison in the east along the passage opened by Mihan, and he led the army to the west to continue to drive the Shun army, leaving the piece that was divided in the east to ignore it. Although the range of the attack was almost half smaller, Shi Lang still ran into trouble, there was a city called Yingcheng, and the defenders resisted extremely stubbornly, and failed to take it after several attacks. Shi Lang didn't dare to delay, leaving 3,000 people to guard the city, and he continued to lead the army to drive away the Shun army, because once the stalemate here lasted too long, the other city guards would probably follow the example of Yingcheng, and it would be troublesome.

What Shi Lang didn't expect was that not long after he led the troops away, the defenders of Yingcheng actually took advantage of the night to rob the battalion of 3,000 people, if it weren't for the fact that the 3,000 people were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, I am afraid that they would be defeated, and even then they lost more than 300 people, which made Shi Lang very angry, but he couldn't care about that side, so he had to endure this breath.

Fortunately, the progress on the Mihan side went smoothly, so that Shi Lang breathed a sigh of relief, when he was about to advance to the Rolling Dragon River, he had received more than 10,000 soldiers, according to the strategy set with He Ran in advance, these soldiers and their families were moved to Yi Country in batches, these people all live in the mainland, and Yi Guo is separated by high mountains, and there are not many people who know the situation on the Yi State side, although Shi Lang ordered people to repeatedly preach the new policy, but they still complain because they want to leave their homeland. However, the closer they got to the Rolling Dragon River, the more well-informed the people became, and most of the important cities along the river that Shi Lang thought were the most difficult to fight were won without a fight, and most of the surrendered soldiers happily took their families to Yi according to the arrangement of the Yi army.

This situation was out of Shi Lang's expectations, there were five cities of the guards were going to resist desperately, but in the end they were either killed by their subordinates or tied up in front of the Yi army, and until they converged with Mi Han, a question only learned that Mi Han's attack on the city was also the case, only stormed most of the day The guard of the city was killed that night, and his subordinates surrendered and offered to deceive a few nearby cities, limited to the limited number of troops he did not do.

There is such a situation of rushing to surrender, on the one hand, because the people along the river are more convenient and know the benefits of the new policy of Yiguo, on the other hand, because everyone sees that the general trend of Shunguo has gone, and these generals who defend the city already know that this time it is Zhao and Yi who join forces to cut down Shun, and many people only think that Shunguo is definitely going to be destroyed this time, and make the decision to surrender in despair. Of course, there are still some defenders of the city who are desperately resisting, but in this situation, Shi Lang already has enough troops to deal with them. At this time, news came from Su Ming's side that the Shun army had withdrawn from Baihe Bay.

When Shi Lang, who was relieved, used his troops more calmly, cleared this side, and went to pacify the eastern land that was divided, Shi Lang changed his strategy, not to drive the Shun army to the Rolling Dragon River again, but decided to start from the first line of the Rolling Dragon River, cut off their retreat, and then sent troops from the west and south to suppress the Shun army within a radius of thousands of miles.

He Ran went to Pingcheng first, and saw that Xu Tong, the general who came to sit here, told the previous events in detail.

Xu Tong listened to Shi Jing's matter and said: "I already knew that he was not a good bird, and it was really cheap for him to commit suicide and die after such a big mistake." ”

He Ran said angrily: "You already knew why you didn't tell me?" ”

"What's the use of talking about it earlier? Do you have the right person on your hands to replace him? He is the strongest of these people in terms of using soldiers to fight, and we are now more soldiers and fewer generals, so what is the use of telling you earlier? Besides, I didn't think he would be so bold as this. ”

He Ran knew that what he said was the truth, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, fortunately it didn't cause much harm, people are dead, don't say anything else, leave him a good reputation, you accumulate some virtue on your lips, don't spread this matter." ”

Xu Tong smiled: "It's really funny, you, the least virtuous person, want me to accumulate virtue in my mouth, okay, I'll die a hundred, I just don't say it." ”

"Is there any movement on Zhao Guo's side?" He Ran picked up the teacup and asked.

"The troops have begun to be withdrawn, and the envoys have been sent to say that Zhao Kun's side has stormed and captured four or five cities in a few days, and they are going to send troops to reinforcements."

He Ran took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I guess Zhao Min is going crazy now." ”

Xu Tong laughed and said: "Can you not be crazy, I don't think he can count it even if you give him such a hand, and in the blink of an eye, he will make a vassal country, you have played him a lot this time, but he can't say anything, if I am Zhao Min, I will take back the tripod given to you." ”

He Ran also laughed and said, "If you want to be greedy, I will turn around and order someone to send Nading to the mansion for you." ”

The two laughed for a while, and Xu Tongzhencheng said: "You go back to the valley to rest for a while, I have me here, alas, worry and put aside, you have been running around these days and tossing is really hard enough, I am sincere in saying it." ”

"It's so rare, you use me as a mule and horse all day long, I can't imagine that when you still have a conscience like you, I will blame me for getting you here."

Xu Tong pushed him hard and said, "I'll kick my nose in the face when I give you two good words, go back quickly, don't let my younger brothers and sisters worry about it, if it's really bad, we can't afford to pay for one or two, and there is nowhere to find such a good place for you." ”

"You're just nowhere to go! It's useless to be jealous! He Ran said triumphantly.

A few days later, He Ran arrived at Mingzhong City, and first went to the palace to report to Su Pingjiang about the situation at the border and the situation on Shilang's side.

Su Pingjiang listened to Shi Jing's matter, and angrily shot a few cases to kill his relatives, he felt that He Ran was too difficult, and it was easy for Lang to share his worries for him, but in this paragraph, he was not only not idle, but kept running around day after day because of this Shi Jing, Shi Jing was really hateful.

He Ran persuaded him well, Su Pingjiang felt apologetic and said: "Alas, I feel sorry for you, this left and right trip, just returned from the envoy of Zhao State and kept running around the border pass, this time not only kept the territory worry-free but also made a subject country out, I really can't give you anything, if you don't want to be the king of Yi, why don't you also be like the king of Feng?" ”

He Ran laughed and said, "Don't you think it's funny that there are three kings in the land of projectiles?" If you can't give away your king's position, you just depreciate yourself, by the way, have you let me cast my ding? Mrs. Nuanyu, they still value this, if it is cast, give it to me while I am here, and bring it back to earn some face for me. ”

Su Pingjiang shook his head helplessly, and said, "You have to go, I'll go back and personally send you to the valley, so that you have more face, right?" It's rare that you ask me for something, we won't talk about this etiquette, don't you want this thing just to have some face in front of them, then how to have face. ”

He Ran frowned and said: "Let's follow the rules, what is important for giving this thing is the number of courtesies, and it is not dignified to lose the number of courtesies." ”

Su Pingjiang couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, okay, according to you, to be honest with you, this is the first time I have given people a tripod, but you make me feel that this matter is very boring now." ”

"I don't think it's boring either." He Ran smiled, "But if I need it in the future, I may have to ask you to give me a few more ......."

"Let's go! Hurry up, don't let me order someone to bomb you out. Su Pingjiang couldn't wait to go up and kick him, so he waved his hand again and again without waiting for him to finish speaking.
