Xin Yan Tuliang's army came, on the third day after the rebellion between King Fan and He Ran.

He Ran climbed the mountain and stared at the long dust raised in the sky, under the earthy yellow dust mist was a thin black line, as the dust and fog got higher and higher, the thin line became a surging black tide, and then he felt the shaking of the earth, at least three horses per soldier, and the momentum of more than 100,000 horses running together can only be described as shocking, even people like him who are used to seeing big scenes are shocked, and the unobstructed grassland makes the war here look much greater than the battle spirit of the Central Plains.

The vanguard of the enemy army stopped more than ten miles away, and the army behind it advanced slowly, like waves surging endlessly from the skyline.

At the foot of the mountain here, the 40,000 troops of the King of Fan camped in a tight formation for several miles, and it was also like a rainbow, at this time the war horses in the camp felt the sound of the galloping hooves of the horses in the distance, and they couldn't help but neigh and gouge their hooves, which made people's hearts involuntarily speed up.

The other party obviously expected that King Fan would attack here, so the preparations were very sufficient, and the formation, advancement, and camping were very disciplined, and it was estimated that he would not take advantage of his unstable camp to attack, so King Fan did not take any action.

The tense atmosphere before the war shrouded the four fields, tomorrow will go into battle to fight, most of the grassland men are still talking and laughing, some people have a superior mentality to approach the Yi army camp to check, these people are from the heart to look down on the Central Plains soldiers, but the scene they saw was very unexpected, these Yi soldiers seem to be more calm and calm than them, some are sharpening knives and guns, and more are playing all kinds of games they don't know in groups, these soldiers can't help but secretly speak, and no longer dare to have contempt.

Before dawn the next day, the war drums and trumpets on both sides rang out one after another, Xin Yan's army began to move forward slowly, and King Fan's army was firmly entrenched and waiting.

He Ran stood on the top of the hill and looked at the opponent's formation, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he saw thousands of Zhao troops gathering on the right flank. Fanwang's army was arranged according to the trumpet mouth of the valley, and the front was only a few miles wide, so it was difficult for the enemy to invest all his troops, and the forward camp only sent 30,000 horses, and Fanwang's side sent 20,000.

When the honor guard of the Dacha Banner lined up the colorful divine flag on the left side of the Fanwang Daxu Banner, the enemy formation was in a commotion, and then as He Ran's blue military division banner was spread on the right side of the Daxu Banner, the Zhao army camp on the right flank of the enemy army was in an uproar.

He Ran glanced at the banner of General Zhao on the side of the banner of Xinyan Tuliang, and knew that it was the former general Zhao Jiao, who had never seen this person before, so he ordered someone to go and pass the word for Zhao Jiao to answer before the battle. Soon Zhao Jiao galloped to the front of the battle surrounded by the guards, He Ran also rode out of the battle, a few feet away from each other to restrain the horses, Zhao Jiao saluted on the horse and said: "The military advisor is really a dragon who sees the head but not the tail, and I don't want to see each other again." ”

He Ran returned the salute, seeing that Zhao Jiao was in his fifties, and he was born mighty and burly, so he smiled and said: "I often hear the old general's name, and it is really fortunate to see it today." ”

Zhao Jiao grinned, frowning and didn't know what to say, He Ran's sudden appearance made him a little overwhelmed, the reason why he wanted to fight in the front line this time was mainly to express Zhao Guo's firm support for Xin Yan's position to King Fan, and wanted to deter King Fan, if he knew in advance that Yi Jun had arrived, he should really be the rear army, and now this situation made him a little dilemma.

He Ran said with a smile: "Old general, Yi and Zhao have a very good relationship, although they now support one side, but this is a matter of the prairie after all, if Yi and Zhao Bingrong meet today, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two of us to bear this responsibility, and it is difficult to explain in front of their respective kings, I don't know what the old general thinks?" ”

Zhao Jiao complained bitterly, King Zhao did take this into account, so before leaving, he instructed him, if you meet the Yi army, try not to take the lead in the war, this is a matter of righteousness, now Yi ** Shi proposed this article is reasonable, if he does not agree with the blame, the blame will be on the side of Zhao State, but if you agree with his suggestion, both sides withdraw from the camp ......, the problem is to see that the Yi army just played is stationed on the mountain, and there is no Yi army in the array, but his own soldiers occupy the right wing, once the right wing is withdrawn, it will be chaotic, King Fan's army will definitely take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, so it will be out of control.

He Ran didn't give him much time, and said lightly: "Yi and Zhao are fighting or not being in the old general's thoughts, please make a quick decision in the old general." Saying that, he raised the command flag in his hand with a cold face, and the Yi army on the mountain immediately made war drums, and it seemed that he was about to come down from the mountain.

Zhao Jiao's forehead began to sweat, as soon as they met, they understood the power of this Yi ** division, he insisted on provoking the war between Yi and Zhao on Zhao Guo, he held the power of Yi and Zhao with one hand, and King Yi treated him like a brother, and he could decide whether to fight with Zhao or not, but he couldn't, although Zhao Yi and Yi each supported the prairie's forces that would inevitably lead to discord between the two countries, but who tore their faces first was related to the country's credibility and reputation, and now Yi ** Shi took the initiative to propose that Yi and Zhao avoid, It's really a dilemma, if the two countries of Yi and Zhao go to war, then it's okay to say, but in case the king judges the situation and thinks it's better not to go to war, maybe he will treat himself as a scapegoat and execute himself for the crime of starting a war, in exchange for Yi Guo's forgiveness in this way, it's not impossible.

At this time, he was not allowed to think about it more, and after a little weighing, he said: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, today's meeting in front of the battle is definitely not what Zhao Guo wants, because I don't know that the military division will appear here, and now the situation does not allow me to withdraw, only to hold the position and not participate in the attack, the military division should be able to understand, can you ask the military division to temporarily order the male division not to fight this formation, after this formation, you and I have both soldiers and horses to withdraw from the battlefield, let them fight on their own." ”

He Ran said disapprerovingly: "The old general has fought all his life, how could he say such unreasonable words, is the old general really child's play when the two armies are fighting?" You say that you only defend and don't attack, how can I believe it? On other occasions, I naturally don't dare to doubt the words of the old general, but the soldiers are treacherous, how can they believe the words of others on the battlefield? This is a matter of life and death, the old general weighs it himself, He Ran's words are all here, the Yi army is now stationed on the mountain, and if the Zhao army withdraws, the Yi army will never go down the mountain, if the Zhao army does not withdraw, then He Ran thinks that Zhao Guo has declared war on Yi State, then there is nothing to talk about. After that, he didn't say anything more, turned his head and returned to his own position.
