(There are additions to the previous chapter, so please review them first.) Jingqu City is the largest city in the northwest of Zhao State, the water and land transportation is convenient, the surrounding is full of anointed places, it can be called the land of fish and rice, there are nearly 100,000 households in the city, and the merchants gather in prosperity and wealth, so the land is not far from the Son of Heaven Dynasty, so the humanities and education advocate the ancient law. Because Zhao Min's father had a plan to move the capital here when he was the king of Zhao, he has been expanding his business over the years, although its scale is not as good as Dingyang, but it is not far away. With such a strong city and no ability to defend it, it can be seen that Zhao Min has really reached the end of his rope.

There is a panicked scene in the city, Zhao Min fled secretly, only took away some of his cronies, and the people who stayed never thought that Yi Jun would come so quickly, some people were anxious to escape from the city, some people took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters and robbed them, and some people with grudges finally looked forward to the moment of change, and they launched an attack on the mansion of the evil officials and cool officials. The Yi army that entered the city was trying their best to maintain order, strictly cutting off traffic at various city gates, in an attempt to intercept corrupt officials and bullies in the city.

Looking at the billowing smoke rising in the direction of the city, He Ran frowned, it seemed that this fire was not small.

At this time, Dongfang Ao, who heard the news, rushed to greet him, and He Ran pointed to the smoke and asked, "Where is the fire?" ”

Dongfang Ao replied: "It's the palace, and someone has been arranged to save it." As soon as we entered the city, it burned over there, and the last general went to check, there were many fires, obviously someone deliberately set the fire, and the arsonist had not been caught, according to the last general's speculation, it should have been arranged by Zhao Min in advance. ”

He Ran hurriedly ordered to transfer 1,000 soldiers from outside the city to put out the fire, and another 5,000 people were transferred into the city to maintain order.

Entering a large mansion, Dongfang Ao replied: "Zhao Min's whereabouts have not been found yet, and the last general has sent someone out of the city to investigate." ”

He Ran sighed and said, "It's not easy to chase after you have already escaped, An Min is important, you go and get busy." ”

After Dongfang Ao left, He Ran said to Xu Tong: "Send some more people to the north to monitor the movements of the Zhao army over there, according to Xungu, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 of these horses, and the distance is two or three hundred miles, and the nearest ones are only less than 100 miles, so we need to strictly prevent them from counterattacking." ”

"Do you want to kill it from here? Kill them with the Kang army, a north-south flank. ”

He Ran shook his hand slowly, and said, "I think it's important to send a team of men and horses to attack Bai Yankou with Su Ming first, as long as the Zhao army in the north doesn't come to trouble us, leave him alone for the time being." ”

Xu Tong was a little unwilling and said: "After the news of the capture of Jingqu City reaches Baiyankou in a few days, it will be self-defeating, and take this opportunity not to exterminate the Zhao army in the north, and when they escape, they will not find such a good opportunity." ”

He Ran waved his hand again insisted, and said: "Only when you are stable can you kill the enemy, this Zhao Jun is no longer a concern, it is not a big deal to let them break and escape." ”

"Tens of thousands, soon they will get the news of the fall of Jingqu, then the army will be in turmoil, we can ......"

He Ran interrupted him and said: "Don't think about good things, if I guess well, Zhao Min will definitely send someone to send a letter to these Zhao troops when he escapes, firstly, it can show that he is not abandoning them, and secondly, he can let them be prepared and withdraw in an orderly manner, now let's attack, maybe there will be an ambush by others, do you think this is the truth, Zhao Min is not an incompetent person, don't think that he can't care about anything in order to escape." ”

Xu Tong nodded after hearing this: "What you are worried about is that the battle is too smooth, I am really underestimating the enemy, I didn't expect that at this level, with Zhao Min's personality, he will not easily leave this only remaining part of the people, and it is the best choice to send a letter to let these people and horses cushion." ”

"In this way, let the special leader lead the men and horses to meet Su Ming, in your main city, I will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to the north of the city to station, and we will echo each other in case there is a change."

Xu Tong smiled: "What else can change, you are too cautious." ”

He Ran looked at him meaningfully and said, "We're too far away from home, it's better to be careful, besides, Kangjun may come over to meet the teacher soon, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"You're going to defend the Kang Army?" Xu Tong lowered his voice and asked.

"Don't be completely unguarded, you just have to know it in your heart, don't say it to your subordinates, so as not to spread it to Kang Jun's ears and cause dislike."

"Isn't that the case?"

A wry smile overflowed from the corner of He Ran's mouth, and he said: "Because the Son of Heaven did not allow Li Ping to establish a country, I sent someone to send a jade lamp to the Mo Military Division, as a test, and the person who gave the gift came back two days ago. ”

"How?" Xu Tong asked with concern.

After listening to the envoy's report on the situation of the war here, he only asked what happened to the new policy. When he learned that he had not yet taken it back, he sent the messenger back without asking for anything else. ”

"What does he mean by that?"

He Ran exhaled and said: "When I joined forces to flank Xiping that day, he repeatedly asked me to take back the new policy, I agreed perfunctorily, I think he has been paying attention to the new policy, this time to obstruct Li Ping's establishment of the country is to put pressure on me, I have already guessed, send someone to give gifts, intended to show goodwill, he only asked about the new policy, this is to clearly tell me that if the two countries want to be good, the new policy must be withdrawn." ”

Xu Tong's expression became solemn and said, "Are you worried that he will ......?"

He Ran shook his head and said: "I don't think it's enough to meet each other in arms, and when the Kang army comes, I will move the camp from the north of the city back to the south of the city to show friendship, but don't be careless, you must secretly guard the city tightly in case of accidents." ”

"Then you should come to guard the city, I'll go to the camp, besides, he's coming, you have to invite him into the city for a while."

He Ran thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I have to send someone to send a message to Yun Ye who is guarding Qulan Pass in a while, so that he must be energetic and not slack off." ”

Xu Tong said disapprerovingly: "I don't think so, don't say anything else, we are more than a thousand miles away from home, and the Kang army has been out for thousands of miles, and the Zhao State has not yet fallen, and the Mo army division will not choose this time if he wants to turn his face with you." ”

He Ran nodded and said: "I know, but I'm really afraid of this righteous brother, I have seen his methods, and he has unpredictable abilities, on the contrary, I can only be cautious and cautious." ”

Xu Tong said with a smile: "You have a ghost in your heart, you didn't do anything you promised others, and you deceived people with white teeth and committed Xiping, and now you are going to meet, and your heart is empty." ”

He Ran said with a smile: "It's really like this to let you say it, but it's not a bad thing to be cautious, and you have to beware of Zhao Min's backlash, you can't afford to miss a little." ”

"This is true, what should Zhao Min do?"

He Ran said helplessly: "Forget it for the time being, even if you find out where he is, it is not appropriate to pursue it anymore, it is too risky, let's wait until I see my brother-in-law." Speaking of this, he snorted disdainfully, "I really look down on him more and more when I leave the hundreds of officials and soldiers and run away, and I feel that it is a loss of identity to be an enemy of this kind of person." ”

Xu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's best for you to think like this, I'm really worried that you will chase after it regardless of it." ”

"Are you still the reckless He Ran who rushed thousands of miles to attack Ji Gong at the beginning? Go and settle the soldiers and horses, and when I go back, I will order someone to collect some wine and meat, and reward the soldiers. ”
