Chapter Thirty-Seven: Victory in the First Battle (I)
He Ran is really a little drunk at the moment, the king has a lesson from the last time, this time he is not allowed to cheat and play tricks, and the generals will take turns to toast and celebrate his friendship with the king, in this case, if you push back and go, it will not be interesting enough, He Ran doesn't know how much he has drunk, and the king of Fan, who is known as a large number of people, has been drinking with him, and now he is drunk.
When he saw the messenger, He Ran walked over quickly, this person was familiar to him, after reading the letter written by Xiao Xiao, most of his wine was awake, and his eyes were shining in the firelight.
King Fan came over and saw that he looked calm, and pulled him and said, "If it's okay, go back to drinking quickly, don't think about using your twists and turns." ”
He Ran laughed, sent a messenger down to rest, and then said in King Fan's ear: "Something happened, go to the tent and say it later." ”
King Fan was a little unconvinced, and squinted his drunken eyes and said, "You want to hide from getting drunk." ”
He Ran gave him a look, walked back with crooked steps and said to everyone: "My head is a little dizzy, you are not allowed to go, I will go and rest and come back to drink with you, you, you, you, and you, I owe you a bowl of wine for each of the four of you, and I don't pay the bill." ”
In fact, it was the four people who owed him a bowl of wine, because the messenger suddenly came and stopped drinking, everyone laughed and knew that this Yi ** master was really drunk, and those Yi army generals did not break with laughter, and what they wanted above the banquet was this liveliness, and these people knew the amount of alcohol of the military advisor, and they knew that the military advisor was teasing them.
Entering the big tent of King Fan, the drunkenness on He Ran's face disappeared immediately, he glanced at a few servants in the tent, King Fan saw his demeanor and believed that he was not hiding from wine, his expression became nervous, and he frowned, "These people are all my cronies, what happened?" ”
He Ran said slowly: "Shunren and all of them have really attacked Xiangguo on a large scale, and the troops have advanced three hundred miles. ”
King Fan's heart was shocked, and he said anxiously: "Didn't you conclude that they wouldn't really fight Xiangguo?" ”
He Ran's eyes showed a little confusion, "This is very unexpected, and I can't see it clearly now." ”
"That'...... Do you want to go back to the rescue right away? "King Fan is very nervous, the big battle here is imminent, the Yi army is the key to breaking the enemy, if they withdraw, then this battle will be difficult to fight.
He Ran looked at a few cases and groaned, it is very simple to solve the crisis of Xiangguo, as long as he leads the army to the old nest, he will inevitably withdraw the army to save him, but what about King Fan's side? This is a battle that must not be lost, and it is not even possible to retreat for a while, because it is related to the reversal of the wavering tribes.
After weighing it repeatedly, he felt that he could only abandon Xiangguo temporarily, no matter why Shunren was so crazy, let them toss it, as long as they defeated Xinyan Tuliang, then they would be able to unite the army of King Fan to regain Xiangguo, thinking of this, his heart moved, could it be that Shunguo concluded that King Fan would be defeated, so he had the courage to attack Xiangguo so much? In that way, the country of Yi has less strong reinforcements from the king of Fan, and the country of Shun is more than this new force, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to recapture this large area of Xiangguo, and the people of this side are still in favor of Shunguo, of course, the sooner they take it back, the better.
But why are they so sure that King Fan will lose, in case they guess wrong, the final winner is King Fan, then the forces of Shunguo on this side are dangerous, and there is a possibility that the whole army will be wiped out if they can't retreat, so a big gamble is not a wise choice, it seems that King Shun is really mad.
"At most, there will be three more days for Xinyan Tuliang's army to arrive, let's go to the rescue after this battle, Xiangguo has a territory of thousands of miles, and it should come in a few days." King Fan looked at him with burning eyes, and with his temperament, he would never make such a request if it was not a last resort.
He Ran looked at him with a firm gaze and said, "Since you treat me as a brother, then how can I abandon my brother at such a moment, I will never withdraw my troops until I defeat Xin Yan!" ”
King Fan patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said excitedly: "Good brother! ”
He Ran smiled and said: "But after the war, we may have to change our previous strategy, I want to get rid of Dudu first, if the conditions allow, you and I will march separately, I will destroy Dudu's lair, and you will lead the army to set up an ambush on his way back to the army." ”
"Hmmm! It's all up to the brothers. ”
"Let's see how the battle against Xin Yan is, your big tent is next to the door? I need to go back and reply to King Feng immediately. He Ran glanced at the huge royal tent as big as a palace.
King Fan led him to the back tent, and He Ran advised: "You just say that I slept here, and it is best not to tell anyone about the affairs of Xiangguo, so as not to affect the morale of the army." ”
King Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand this." ”
He Ran returned to his station, first summoned Dongfang Ao to explain to him the situation on Xiangguo's side, Dongfang Ao was surprised, he couldn't guess what Shunguo was going to do, he very much agreed with the idea of the military advisor to temporarily abandon Xiangguo, there was no choice in the current situation.
He Ran summoned the cronies who were in charge of the flying pigeon to pass the book, and used the flying pigeon to send out a secret order, he asked Xiao Xiao to observe the situation closely, if the enemy soldiers were too sharp, he would take Chen Min and others to withdraw to the Axe Broken Gorge in advance, and when he defeated Xin Yan Tuliang and then attacked the enemy army that invaded Xiangguo on both sides, he didn't care about the gains and losses of Xiangguo, and he was most concerned about Xiao Xiao's safety, so he specially reminded her not to be careless, beware of the enemy's surprise attack on Andu City.
After sending out the secret letter, He Ran paced in the tent alone, waiting for so many days to wait for bad news, how could such a clear situation give birth to such a change, it was really incomprehensible, after thinking for a while, he didn't want to think about it anymore, and tried his best to eliminate the confusion caused by Xiao Xiao's letter, no matter what chaos happened over there, the root of solving the crisis was in the battle against Xinyan, and the crisis on the side of Xiangguo was solved by winning this battle, and then he meditated on thinking about the upcoming war, Carefully deduce the step-by-step plan in his mind, and calculate the various changes that may occur.
When the sky is about to dawn, he will fall asleep, not that he doesn't want to sleep but can't sleep, people can't use too deep affection, after lying down, he can't help but worry about Xiao Xiao, if Zhao Guo and Shun secretly fornicated, then Xiangguo is absolutely difficult to preserve, there are 30,000 wolf-like soldiers, Shun Guo and 30,000 elite soldiers, there are so many soldiers and horses This battle can be fought almost as you like.
Will they use a force of soldiers and horses to block the Axe Gorge and cut off Xiao Xiao's way back? If that's the case, does Kong Lin, who guards the Axe Broken Gorge, dare to attack? Will the generals under Chen Min rebel? It is very likely that the tree will fall and scatter, and there will be few loyal ministers when the general trend is gone. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he couldn't wait for his wings to fly back and tell Xiao Xiao a few words in person.
It's easy to fall asleep but have nightmares, one time Xiao Xiao was captured, the other time he was defeated by Xin Yan, and when he woke up, it was just dawn, and he didn't even sleep for an hour. After he got up, he wrote a secret letter to Xiao Xiao, writing out his concerns one by one, and once again telling her to ensure the safety of the retreat and not wait until the last moment to withdraw.
The army only brought five carrier pigeons from Muhu City, and released two at once, He Ran couldn't care about this, even so, he was still not at ease, and wrote a long letter to call the secret envoy who sent the letter yesterday and ordered him to bring it back immediately, the space of the letter that the flying pigeon can carry is limited, and he must tell Xiao Xiao what he thinks in order to feel at ease.
