Chapter Seventy-Six: Burning with Jealousy (I)
When Dongfang Ao was still dozens of feet away from the city, he hissed and shouted: "Military division! Strategist! Strategist save me! ”
He Ran frowned and looked at him, and when he came to the city, Dongfang Ao turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground with a plop, and howled on his back: "Military division! Strategist save me! ”
Seeing this, He Ran no longer hesitated, turned around and walked down the city tower quickly, and when he came to the outside of the city and walked in front of Dongfang Ao, Dongfang Ao was already crying tears, and when he saw the military division coming out, he knelt and crawled and grabbed He Ran's shirt and said: "Military advisor, Dongfang Ao has been wronged, Dongfang Ao has never disobeyed orders, and he was forced to escape during the escort, because someone wanted to harm me......"
He Ran was shocked when he heard this, there was only one person who could harm Dongfang Ao and force him to this position, that was Shi Jing, who was guarding the lower reaches of the Rolling Dragon River, thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted: "Shut up!" ”
Dongfang Ao's mind was already in a mess in a hurry, and he didn't understand He Ran's mind for a while, and said sadly: "Ask the military advisor to let me defend a few words, I ......"
He Ran glared at him and said in a low voice, "Shut up!" Confused! Then he waved his hand to the people around him and said, "All retreat to ten zhang away!" ”
Dongfang Ao suddenly woke up, and at the same time knew that the military advisor would definitely give him a chance to defend himself, so he hurriedly got up and wiped away his tears.
When everyone retreated, He Ran looked into the distance with empty eyes, and said calmly: "Say it." ”
Dongfang Ao stabilized his emotions and lowered his voice and said: "Yu Jun Shi, the villain crossed the Rolling Dragon River at night on the order of the military division, conquered the coastal city defense that night, and arrived at the Xibei Mountain early the next morning, and the Shun army guards fled without a fight, and the villain stationed the army on the Xibian Mountain, and brought 3,000 people to approach Juxian Mountain, at that time the villain never wanted to fight Juxian Mountain, and saw that his defense was lax and only ordered someone to sweep the pass at the foot of the mountain. ”
He Ran still looked into the distance, nodded lightly, and said, "You are not wrong to do this, but later." ”
Dongfang Ao's expression became excited, and he said: "Later, the villain also let the sailor go back and forth on the big river according to the intention of the military division, and make a posture of increasing troops, but ...... But the sailor disappeared after three days, and the villain waited for four days, but still did not see the slightest message from the other side, at this time the grain and grass carried by the army were about to run out, and the villain was afraid that the nearby army would come to reinforce and cut off our way back, so he had no choice but to go to Juxian Mountain in order to occupy the danger to protect himself. The villain always remembered the instructions of the military advisor before leaving, knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he was counting the days with his fingers every day, and he was anxious to wait for the sailor to take us back, but ...... But ......" At this point, he choked in his throat and couldn't go on.
He Ran withdrew his gaze and glanced at him, then looked into the distance again, and said, "Can you send someone to cross the river to ask Shi Jing?" ”
Dongfang Ao suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The day after the sailor disappeared, the villain ordered someone to cross the river on a raft to ask, and sent no less than ten sets in the past few days, but none of them came back. The water of the Rolling Dragon River is wide and the waves are urgent, and the fear that the Shun army water division will attack at any time, the villain does not dare to let the army cross the river on a raft, so please ask the military advisor to know it. ”
He Ran said softly "um" and said, "That's right, and then go on." ”
Later, the sailor finally came, and after coming back, the villain immediately went to Shi Jing to ask why he took us across the river so late, Shi Jing said, there is a Shunjun sailor patrolling the river, and he did not dare to send a boat out, and said that there was a fog in the river after which he could not sail. Strategist, I sent people to guard the river day and night, I have never seen a Shunjun warship pass by, although there is a mist for a few days, but it is never to the point where the boat can not be sailed, the villain reasoned with him, he ...... passed on the order of the military advisor, relieved the villain, and ...... me Shut me up. Speaking of this, Dongfang Ao was full of grievances, and tears flashed in the tiger's eyes.
He Ran retracted his gaze, stared at him and said, "What happened when you escaped on the road?" ”
Dongfang Ao gritted his teeth, forced back his tears, and said with hatred on his face: "Several relatives of the villain saw that I was suddenly escorted, and guessed that there was something strange in the meantime, so they secretly followed the escort to protect the villain on the road, and they overheard the escort's plot to kill me halfway at night, so they killed them and robbed the villain, the villain wanted to run to Pingcheng immediately to see the military division, but I thought that this area is all Shijing jurisdiction, and the villain is a guilty body, I am afraid that he will be captured if he doesn't go far, After thinking about it, the only way to save my life was to venture back to my own barracks, and those brothers knew that I had been wronged, but fortunately they sheltered the villain today...... in order to see the military advisor. ”
He Ran closed his eyes after hearing this, and after a while, he exhaled softly, looked at him and said, "Who is in charge of the army now?" ”
"Zuotang!"
"Take me to him." He Ran called Zhong Zheng to bring his war horse.
"It is rumored that he came to see the military advisor, why should the military advisor go in person." Dongfang Ao persuaded.
He Ran looked at him and said: "The situation is urgent, we can't delay, Baihewan has fallen into the hands of the Shun army, and there is no room for any chaos here." ”
"What?! White River Bay lost? Dongfang Ao was shocked when he heard this, and at the same time, he also knew in his heart that the military advisor told himself such important news, that is, he believed what he just said, "Please give the military advisor an order, and the villain will lead his troops to recapture Baihe Bay!" ”
He Ran shook his head and said, "You have to go with me to see Shi Jing first." ”
A trace of sadness flashed on Dongfang Ao's face, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes, the villain is willing to confront him." ”
He Ran glanced at him and said: "It's not that I don't believe your words, first, this matter is too important, and you must be confronted face to face, and second, the guards along the way know that you are on the run, and I have ordered you to be arrested at all passes, even if I cancel the previous order immediately, the military order will not be transmitted so quickly, so you can't lead the troops now." ”
Dongfang Ao has been in a state of excitement, and only after hearing what the military advisor said did he understand, and said: "The villain is really confused, alas, the villain's brain is really not suitable for commanding the army now." ”
When they came to the place where the Chinese army was stationed, Zuo Tang and other generals stepped forward to pay respects, and He Ran said to Zuo Tang: "Lead the troops to Wanglong City quickly and wait for the handsome Su Ming to dispatch, I will send someone to open the way for you in front and inform the various passes to let you go." Then his eyes swept over the crowd and pointed at the two loyal generals with his hands, "You two go with me." ”
After disposing of the matter here, He Ran took the three hundred soldiers straight to Shuangxia City, where Shi Jing was located, without delay. He now knows what Su Ming was going to say that day, Su Ming must have suspected that Dongfang Ao's attack on Juxian Mountain was related to Shi Jing, they had both been generals under the public account of the Communist Party, and the two knew each other very well, Su Ming was a cautious person, although he guessed that most of the things were related to Shi Jing, but there was no real evidence, he didn't want to say anything, just reminded himself that he must give Dongfang Ao a chance to justify.
