Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Prairie (Part II)

The founding period is approaching, Andu City is full of drums and music, Chen Min in order to buy people's hearts and create a festive atmosphere, open the treasury to the people to send money and goods, and invite artists from all walks of life to perform in the city to let the people enjoy themselves, the cold weather seems to be infected by the enthusiasm of the people, and the smiling faces set off the warmth of the city.

As the saying goes, joy and misfortune are not a single line, the joy of founding a country has not yet been enjoyed, and the turbulent undercurrent has reached Chen Min. In fact, this undercurrent has already begun to surge, not long after Shi Lang returned to the division, Chen Min had to report that there were remnants of Shunguo in the northeast border pass, which used to be the key area to defend against the invasion of Fanbang, and was guarded by Shunguo's heavy troops.

After the Yi army withdrew, Pi Liac gathered these remnants of the force to try to retake the border pass, Chen Min did not dare to take these border pass elites lightly, mobilized 5,000 men and horses to encircle and suppress, thought that even if they could not exterminate this group of people, they could stabilize the situation and let these people retreat, the previous period really came back good news, the side report said that those remnants were defeated again, he just settled down in his heart, and today he suddenly heard bad news - the border pass was lost!

Chen Min, who heard the report, found He Ran in a hurry, and said with a bitter face before they could meet him: "The military advisor saved my Xiangguo." ”

He Ran was about to watch the morning riding and archery competition, but when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What's wrong with the king?" What happened? ”

Chen Min said bitterly: "I just got the report, we fell for the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the two thousand soldiers who attacked the army did not return, and most of the northeast border passes have fallen into the hands of the enemy." ”

"Really?" He Ran was also taken aback, he had heard Chen Min tell him about the matter over there before, and felt that those people couldn't stir up any trouble, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, Chen Min only had a total of 20,000 soldiers, and it was no wonder he was so heartbroken to lose 2,000 at once.

After annihilating 2,000 people in the first battle, He Ran immediately realized that this should not be something that a group of stragglers could do, could it be that the White House Bo wanted to fight back from that side? He slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, so as to calm down his mood, and then said with a smile and a gentle tone: "Don't panic, the king, tell the report from the border pass slowly." ”

Chen Min was infected by his demeanor, and calmed down a little, "Alas, that's the case, the guard general heard the movement of a thief soldier of hundreds of people, so he took two thousand people out of the pass to kill, but I don't want this to be a trap of thieves, I was killed in an ambush halfway, only two sentry escaped back, the two of them entered the pass and the thieves came to attack in a big way, the defenders were caught off guard and lost in several places, most of them were soldiers, the military division quickly sent troops, these soldiers came and went like the wind, if it was delayed, I am afraid that the soldiers will come to Andu." ”

"Fanbing......" He Ran shook his body slightly, and gently spit out these two words in his mouth.

"Yes, it's a soldier, it should be all this brute! He has completely become a minion of Shunguo. Chen Min said hatefully.

He Ran waved his hand at him slowly, signaling him to be calm and not impatient, Chen Min knew that the military advisor had to think quietly, so he forced his heart to be anxious and closed his mouth.

The situation in front of him made He Ran a little confused, it stands to reason that people shouldn't do such stupid things, they are all attacking Chen Min and Yi Guo at this time will inevitably send troops to rescue, they must know this, so that Shun and Yi will fight together again, this is undoubtedly a chance for Zhao Guo to calmly show his skills and feet in the prairie, not to mention the shrewd and ghostly Bai Gongbo, even people with a little brains will not do this.

For the situation of the prairie, Shunren should be very clear, King Fan is already at a disadvantage compared to Xinyan Tuliang and his gang, plus Zhao Guo secretly helped, and King Fan can't support it for long if he really fights, Shunren never wants to see Xinyan Tuliang dominate the grassland, just as he doesn't want to see King Fan dominate the grassland. Their wisest choice is to get out of the matter, so that Xin Yan Tuliang and King Fan will fight for a long time, so that Zhao and Yi will be trapped in it and it will be difficult to get out, and when the time comes, they will take advantage of it.

Shunren is now anxious to provoke a war, what are they thinking? He Ran did not believe that Shun would join forces with Zhao at this time. The current situation makes Shun Guo can only be a complete unlucky egg, although this period has been bullied by Yi Guo, but can not be ruthless retaliation, because once the two sides fight, Zhao can be harvested, they can not sincerely ally with Zhao Guo, that is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, now the situation of the three parties is the most beneficial to Shun and Yi, the two weak countries, have the opportunity to provoke the two foreign parties to start a war and then take the opportunity to rise.

The delicate relationship between the three kingdoms is well known to all parties, although Yi Guo and Zhao have formed an alliance, Shun Guo knows very well that this alliance between them is just a piece of paper that can be torn apart at any time, Yi and Shun do not want to see each other destroyed by Zhao State, and at the critical moment, these two enemies who are as deep as the sea are likely to help each other.

This is the so-called providence to make people, it can also be said that retribution is unpleasant, Shunguo has repeatedly bullied Yi Guo before, and now it is Yi Guo's turn to be unforgiving, and Shunguo, who was beaten hard, is hindered by the situation, not only can not fight back against Yi Guo with all his strength, but also has to be vigilant from time to time not to let Zhao Guo destroy Yi Guo, this nest and grievance is really enough for the monarch and ministers of Shun Guo.

It was precisely because He Ran saw through this that he was very relieved about Shunguo's side, so this time Shunguo's incident greatly surprised him.

Chen Min waited for a long time and still didn't see the military advisor speak, he couldn't help it, and said in a pleading tone: "Military advisor, the thief is fierce and can't be delayed at this moment, tomorrow is the time of the founding ceremony, this ...... This makes me ......, the heroes of the military division have gathered here, please solve this urgent need first, and postpone the matter of assisting the king for a while. ”

He Ran's body stopped shaking, looked at him quietly for a while, shook his head slightly, and said: "I thought that Shunren would not drive the troops straight in, you don't have to be so panicked, the soldiers and horses I gathered here can't move without permission, once the preparations in front are exposed, they will be in vain." ”

Chen Min was so anxious that he was about to scratch his ears and cheeks, "The military division, my military division, this is the alliance of the people and the people who want to regain the lost territory, they are so fierce, how can the military division still say that they will not drive the troops straight in, the soldiers are tigers and wolves, now that the border has been broken, the military division will not help me, this little soldier and horse will not be able to resist no matter what, Wanwang military division will take care of the people's suffering, hurry up and send troops, Chen Min will never forget the kindness of the military division." ”

He Ran thought for a while and said: "In this way, you prepare one or two thousand sets of military uniforms and send them to the place where the army is tun, and then let your soldiers wear the replaced Yi army uniforms to go to reinforce the border pass, just bluff, and you should be able to retreat from the enemy." ”

"This ...... Does this work? I'm afraid that before these people arrived, the soldiers came over. ”

He Ran soothed: "I saw that you couldn't rest assured before coming up with this strategy, in fact, this is all a superfluous move, the soldiers will not fight, if they really dare to drive the troops straight in, I will definitely let them have no return, rest assured." ”

How can Chen Min rest assured, and asked worriedly: "The military advisor originally left after the ceremony, but now that this kind of thing happens, will he still act according to the original plan?" ”

"It's time to go, but I'll make proper arrangements for your side."

"The military advisor ......," Chen Min was about to cry, "Is the military advisor going to abandon Xiangguo?" ”

He Ran was a little impatient, "Even if I lead the troops into the grassland, I can't turn back at any time?" If Shun Ren and Ye are really so bold that they want to drive their troops deep, then I will definitely return to the division and order the domestic soldiers to go out of the axe and break the gorge, and attack the enemy on both sides. ”

Chen Min saw that the cold light in the military advisor's eyes flashed, and the calmness and confidence in his expression made Chen Min feel a little down-to-earth, "That's ...... Then I'll arrange for a replacement uniform. ”

"Choose a cautious person to do this, so as not to leak the secrets of the cantonment army." He Ran admonished.

"I know this, the military advisor will send someone to give orders."

He Ran summoned a personal entourage and ordered him to go with Chen Min.
