Chapter Seventy-One: Sudden Danger (Part II)
Mrs. Nuanyu's pretty face is now white, although she doesn't understand the war, but when she heard that He Ran had begun to call the defenders of Zangxian Valley, how could she not understand the urgency of the situation.
"It was fine two days ago, but it's so critical so soon?" She couldn't hide the panic in her heart.
When the information came out, He Ran breathed a sigh of relief, regained the smile on his face, and said, "Don't panic, since I have seen their tricks, then there is nothing to be afraid of, just to prepare for the worst, it should not be too big." ”
"You're going to Wanglong City? I'm going with you. ”
He Ran shook his head and said: "Sister can't go, no one can say what the war will be, I will send the guards to send you back to the valley, although a thousand defenders have been transferred, but the remaining 1,000 people are enough to ensure that Zangxian Valley is worry-free, and it is unlikely that Zhao Guo will use troops against us, and my sister is still the safest to go there." ”
"Since no one can say what it will be, then I want to be with you even more, how can I be at peace in my heart when I go back now, I can now gallop on horseback, and I won't delay your time." There was a pleading meaning in Mrs. Nuanyu's eyes.
He Ran shook his head again and said: "Sister is a wise person, don't distract me at this time, I will send a message back from time to time, sister, go and clean up, and leave for back in a while." ”
Mrs. Nuan Yu approached him, looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, you hug me." ”
He Ran hugged her with a smile and said apologetically, "I'm going to let my sister worry about me again." ”
Mrs. Nuan Yu closed her eyes and didn't say a word, as if she was fully experiencing the feeling of being embraced by him.
He Ran then made a brief arrangement for the affairs of Pingcheng, and he couldn't even wait to send Mrs. Nuanyu away, so he took five hundred men and horses to rush to Wanglong City in a hurry.
Along the way, He Ran kept thinking about what was going on in Dongfang Ao, could it be that he was really trapped in Bottle Washing Mountain by the Shun army? According to Dongfang Ao's talent, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, so what is the reason why he didn't withdraw his troops in time, if his army strengthens the defense of the Rolling Dragon River, then this kind of thing will not happen, Baihe Bay will not be breached so easily, as long as it lasts for a day or two, Su Ming can transfer the people and horses of the surrounding passes to support.
When staying overnight in Qianlin City, Pingcheng reported that the fast horse had caught up.
He Ran couldn't help but be angry when he saw the secret report sent by Shi Jing, and slapped a few cases fiercely, so frightened that the person who sent the letter trembled, and almost sat on the ground.
Shi Jing is guarding the lower reaches of the Rolling Dragon River, Dongfang Ao is crossing the river from his jurisdiction, Shi Jing's news says that Dongfang Ao has captured Juxian Mountain, and now the army is returning from crossing the river.
He Ran was angry and really wanted to immediately send an order to let people go and kill this greedy Dongfang Ao, and he told him so carefully about the importance of returning to guard in advance, how could he still do such a thing! It seems that this person will eventually be overwhelmed.
He gritted his teeth and walked a few times in front of several cases, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and called in the person who was in charge of the flying pigeon to pass the book, and ordered: "Feishu sent my military order to General Shi, relieved Dongfang Ao of all duties, and escorted him to Wanglong City, and asked General Shi to immediately send those 8,000 people to Wanglong City, and at the same time sent a message to Su Ming to inform him that the 8,000 men and horses ......, oh, no need, we should arrive before that group of people, and this letter does not need to be transmitted." ”
After passing down the military order, He Ran was still unrelieved of his hatred, and took out his sword and slashed it fiercely on several cases.
Xi Qun heard the movement and glanced at the door, retracted and shook his head at Zhong Zheng and the others, and waved his hand to signal them not to make a sound.
On the fourth day, He Ran rushed to Wanglong City, and after entering the city, he rode straight to the border marshal's mansion with his guards.
Su Ming was discussing with the generals, and when he heard the news that the military division was coming, before they could greet him, He Ran had already walked in quickly.
Seeing that the military advisor was tired with a dusty face, obviously coming in a starry night, all the generals felt ashamed in their hearts and bowed their heads after paying homage.
Su Ming said in a deep voice: "Su Ming lost Baihe Bay in his incompetence, and caused the military division to travel a long way, so please ask the military division to punish the crime." ”
He Ran patted him on the shoulder and said, "The troops here are too weak, and it's not your fault for the loss of Baihewan." Then he said to the generals, "Lift up your heads, and you are not to blame for this." ”
When the generals heard the military division say this, their hearts felt better, and they all looked up at the military division, waiting for orders.
He Ran sat in the middle, and Su Mingyu reported: "The last general has sent troops and horses to recapture Baihe Bay, a total of nine attacks, and the ninth general sent all the children in the valley to the end, but the Shun army is stubbornly defending and not retreating, and the last general is about to take the pass in person, please give an order from the military division, if you don't recapture Baihe Bay, Su Ming will not come back to see the military division!" ”
He Ran waved his hand at him and said, "Don't attack again, did I let you spread the news?" ”
Su Ming replied: "It has been passed out according to the instructions of the military advisor." ”
"Where are the Shun troops attacking these days? How's the offensive? ”
Su Ming unfolded the geographical map, pointed to several passes near Baihe Bay, and said: "These places have been attacked by the Shun army, although they have sent a lot of troops, but the offensive is not fierce, I think...... They don't intend to take the pass and destroy the city, but to contain us and prevent us from taking Baihe Bay. ”
He Ran snorted and said, "The herald orders that the defenders in all places are not allowed to fight, and the soldiers who attacked Baihe Bay immediately retreat to their original places. ”
"Yes!" Su Ming answered, hurriedly turned his head and ordered someone to pass the order, and then asked hesitantly: "Military advisor, then Baihewan is ...... Don't take it? ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of He Ran's mouth, and said: "If my guess is right, the Shun army will withdraw within ten days, and then we will cover up and kill for a while, now let's wait and see what happens, I don't believe that Shun people dare to let go and win, even if they have the courage, don't be afraid, the eight thousand men and horses brought by Dongfang Ao will arrive here in a day or two, and the military division will also send soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of the first line of the dry city, and Shun people will never get benefits." ”
Hearing that the military division has made careful arrangements, all the generals have let go of their hanging hearts, originally everyone thought that the situation was extremely critical, but the words of the military division made them feel that this might be a false alarm, whether it was a real crisis or a false crisis, as long as the military division came, their hearts were steady, and there was nothing to be afraid of if the military division was there, and the experience of following the military division to fight in the past few years made them convinced of this.
"You must closely monitor the dynamics of the Shun army here, and report the situation immediately." The generals agreed.
He Ran turned to several sailor generals and asked, "How much did you lose this time?" "Since the Shun army has crossed the river and landed to fight, it is natural that the Yi Guoshui Division is powerless to fight back.
"I have lost nearly half of the warship, and I am no longer able to fight, the sailor has retreated to General Shi's side and joined the sailor over there, and the original plan was to find an opportunity to sneak attack the Shunjun sailor after the convergence and reorganization." One of the generals replied.
Another general said in frustration: "There is too much difference between our sailor and the Shun army, and the previous battle was almost instantaneous, and we are really shameless to face the military division." ”
He Ran smiled and said: "The sailor is not a climate in one or two years, no wonder you, just step up your training in the future, don't fight with the Shunjun sailor in the near future, hide in the port, and then fight can only be a loss in vain, the cost of building a warship is quite huge, we are still poor in national strength, we can't afford such a big cost, the ship can only be built slowly, you should be more careful, make full use of these warships at hand." ”
When several sailor generals saw that the military division was so considerate of them, they were all grateful and bowed down in unison to make a promise.
