Chapter Ninety-Six: Blame for Yourself (Part II)
In less than two hours, the king arrived,
didn't care about celebrating the victory, and even saving greetings, He Ran let his army move forward quickly as soon as they met, and explained that he was carrying out a plan while hurrying.
Fan Wang didn't know how to express the joy in his heart now, so he stabbed him hard in the shoulder with a whip and said: "The magical military master is really not bullshit, hahaha, the battle against Xin Yan is really happy, almost can be regarded as a bloodless soldier, I really didn't expect the final battle to be like this, brother, I really don't know how to thank you as a brother." ”
"It's all said, this is Wang Jia's plan, if you really want to thank us, you can kill this Zhao army and not return."
Fan Wang said heartily: "This can't be counted, Zhao Guo supported Xin Yan, they are also my mortal enemies, killing them is my business, let your men and horses watch the battle, see how my 10,000 sons killed the crying father and mother of the 20,000 Zhao army, I dare not boast about you Yi Jun, but I am completely sure of Zhao Jun." ”
He Ran said with a smile: "On this grassland, even well-trained soldiers like me are difficult to be brothers, these fierce sons, so the little brother is respectful and obedient." Saying that, he passed down the military order, and ordered Dongfang Ao to lead the Yi army to the southwest to cut off the return route of the Zhao army.
This night only rested for two hours, and at noon the next day, the front sentinel reported that the predicted area where the Zhao army was stationed was that there were traces of a large army, but it was empty at the moment.
He Ran's heart sank, and he looked at Xiao Xiao,
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "Ran away." ”
It must have run away, and the plan to rout the army failed, because it was impossible for the Zhao army to send out 20,000 troops together to chase those "routs", which was unreasonable, and sure enough, the 2,000 people who pretended to be rout soon sent someone to report that the enemy army was not chasing, and they were stationed a hundred miles away from here to standby,"
He Ran ordered the messenger to go back and give orders for the two thousand men to march westward, and the army to march southwest to join them.
After sending the messenger, He Ran said to King Fan in a deep voice: "Please brother, please immediately order the army to move to the southwest." ”
Xiao Xiao was also nervous, if Dongfang Ao happened to meet this Zhao army, it would be a bitter battle.
King Fan also knew his reason, and without hesitation, he led the army to chase southwest,
One day later, two thousand troops disguised as routs converged, and the next day, they caught up with Dongfang Ao's men and horses.
Dongfang Ao reported with some shame: "The last general was incompetent, failed to entangle the Zhao army, and was ambushed at the beginning, losing hundreds of brothers, although I defeated the enemy's 3,000 men and horses after the break, and interrogated the soldiers and learned that it was Zhao ** Shi Jing Yuan who personally led the troops, and saw that he was really clever in using troops, so I didn't dare to chase too closely." ”
He Ran secretly regretted in his heart, Dongfang Ao was a little cautious this time, he was worried that his people would not be able to see the situation clearly and decisively catch up with reinforcements, although it was a pity to miss the opportunity, but it was not good to blame Dongfang Ao, so he nodded and said: "It's no wonder you." After that, he pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "If you don't believe in the people, you should also believe in the king and me, this kind of opportunity is rare again." ”
Dongfang Ao saw that the army was coming so quickly, and he was already blaming himself in his heart, and when he heard the military advisor say this, it was obvious that the military advisor had guessed his thoughts, and his face couldn't help but become even more ugly, and he lowered his head and said: "The last general is guilty, please punish the military advisor." ”
He Ran patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not about punishment, it's always better to be cautious than reckless, what you did this time is decent, but I have to tell you that after learning that the Zhao army camp was empty, Wang Jia and I didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately asked the army of Fan Wang Tong to rush to your rescue, and take this as a lesson in the future." ”
Dongfang Ao was even more ashamed in his heart, people with great skills will inevitably be a little conceited, at the moment when deciding whether to pursue, Dongfang Ao really doubted whether the military division could judge the situation and rush to the rescue in time, it was this suspicion that made him dare not let go, so that he lost the opportunity to completely annihilate the Zhao army,
Chasing the Zhao army is obviously the next strategy, although it is thousands of miles away from the Zhao realm, it can be caught up with the speed of the soldiers, but it can't be ignored without considering the huge threat of the Shun army, once they get the news to send troops to make trouble, the victory or defeat is unpredictable,
Denied the strategy of pursuit, King Fan said: "You help me defend Geqiong, I have to lead troops to appease those tribes in Xinyan, and I can't give Yu Xian another chance to raise a counter-flag." ”
He Ran worried: "This overcast sky is scary, if you encounter a blizzard......"
King Fan said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, I have calculated the marching route in my heart, each station is settled in a tribe, replenish grain and grass on the spot, the farthest journey is only two or three hundred miles, even if you encounter a blizzard, you will not be trapped to death, I will send someone to let Hongkonger transport a large number of grain, grass, cattle and sheep, you don't have to worry about these." ”
He Ran complained: "I thought I would be able to go home after this battle, when will you come back from this trip." ”
King Fan groaned: "It's going to be five or six months soon." Seeing Xiao Xiao's eyes looking at the sky, he had the bottom in his heart, he had lived for such a long time, he could already guess a few points about his daughter's heart, so he smiled and said: "Good brother, you just delay for a while, doesn't Wang Jia like the grassland style, you can accompany Wang Jia to play, it will be the winter fishing festival soon, the winter fishing scene in Yan'er Sea is very spectacular, the fish are bigger than people, you must not see it." ”
"It's that big." Xiao Xiao looked very interested,
"I'm not lying to anyone, it's just that it's big, it's nothing, and there are all kinds of strange shapes, many of which we can't name, last year I caught a shellfish bigger than a shield, and the shell is still in my palace, you go and see it first, hey, it's interesting to walk under the ice and watch the net on the ice." The king tried his best to convince him,
He Ran saw that he had hit Xiao Xiao's idea, and knew that it was useless to say anything, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, we must watch it if it's so interesting, you go on an expedition quickly, you don't have to worry about Geqiong's side." ”
Seeing that he agreed, King Fan was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "This family makes the two of you look more stable than I look at myself, I am too relieved, Tu Anlun and some cronies I have already killed, let his tribe in the Xi'a area nomadism, that Hua Gelwang I brought, you take him to find Mingqin tea, I said before that I will get drunk with you after breaking Xinyan, now I am in a hurry, our brother first drink a bag and wait for me to come back, we will drink it happily for three days and three nights." ”
Xiao Xiao blocked the wine bag handed by King Fan, and said, "He was suddenly ill yesterday and still has a fever, so let's save this wine for drinking together in the future." ”
King Fan looked at He Ran intently, and when he saw that he seemed to be sick, he blamed himself: "Hey, look at my brother, I haven't seen that you are sick for so long, alas, I am happy and confused after this victory, how do I feel at this moment." ”
He Ran smiled: "It's okay, it's just that my head is a little dizzy, I'll take a sip to accompany my brother to help cheer." ”
King Fan touched his forehead with his hand and said, "What can you do with a sip, forget it, you still don't drink it." ”
"Then let the king drink with you, you can talk about it like that, it's fish and shellfish." He Ran quipped,
Xiao Xiao was thin-skinned, glared at him and rode away,
King Fan gloated and smiled: "Let your mouth owe." As he spoke, he raised his head and cooed a cow drink, "Happy, brother, I have to gather all the generals to discuss the expedition, you go back to recuperate first, I will transfer 5,000 people to you, this trip will not need so many soldiers and horses." ”
He Ran nodded and said, "Brother be careful, junior brother wishes my brother success." ”
