On the afternoon of the day when He Ran tossed and turned, Shi Lang waited for news from Chen Qian, the Korean public.

The news was sent by the person in charge of flying pigeons, and the secret envoy entered the Korean government and did not come out overnight.

Shi Lang looked at the back and calmly handed it to Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao frowned when he saw it.

"When the news from the other side arrives, let's report it to the military division together, it is said that it is closer to Xiangguogong, and it should be sent back tomorrow at the latest." Shi Lang said to Xiao Xiao.

"Well, it's okay, save him from worrying, when we talked about it at the beginning, we felt that Chen Jian was not necessarily willing to rebel."

Shi Lang said: "It is also possible that he hesitated for a while, and left the secret envoy for the time being, and is discussing with the strategist." ”

"What you said is also true, such a big matter, the messenger came so suddenly, it is understandable that he can't decide immediately." After listening to Shi Lang's words, Xiao Xiao's heart was a little more stable.

"Well, this should also be the case on Xiangguogong's side, otherwise the news over there should have come earlier, they only brought two pigeons, and they didn't dare to put it away if there was nothing important."

Xiao Xiao was not quite used to Shi Lang's calm and watery demeanor, although this demeanor calmed her heart, but it also made people unable to figure out his inner emotions, which made Xiao Xiao very uncomfortable, so she discussed a few urgent matters with him and left.

In fact, the problem is not with Shi Lang, He Ran is expressionless most of the time, but he doesn't need to hide his inner emotions in front of her, almost all military advisors in the world must have the quality of being moody and invisible, compared to He Ran is very different, at least he will talk and laugh at his subordinates outside of business.

That night, Dongfang Ao led 8,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Rolling Dragon River at night, and captured this pass in less than an hour, and the troops had arrived at Xiping Mountain at dawn.

The mountain is not more than a hundred zhang high, the slope is gentle and there are many forests, there is almost no danger to defend, the defenders of Shunguo here are only more than 500 people, and they are stunned to see the Yi army that seems to have fallen from the sky, and the guards can't understand it, what is the Yi army doing here if it has nothing to do?

Yi Jun did not finish the drum, the defenders ran away, which made Dongfang Ao depressed, the carefully prepared mountain attack plan in advance was all in vain, the enemy was scared away not beaten away, this military merit may also be discounted, and his training plan also failed, he brought nearly 5,000 of the 8,000 people are recruits, although the recruits have been trained for more than a year, as long as they go through a few battle formations, these people are elite soldiers, in order to achieve a surprise effect when attacking the small city on the riverbank, he did not let these recruits go into battle, I didn't expect the defenders of Wash Bottle Mountain to be so bad that they didn't even give him a chance to train.

Dongfang Ao, who was unwilling, led 3,000 men and horses to Juxian Mountain, which was twenty miles away. Dongfang Ao did this with the bottom of his heart, and it was impossible for the Shun army to form an encirclement of himself in a hurry, and besides, he didn't really want to attack Juxian Mountain here, but just made the momentum bigger.

Juxian Mountain is much more dangerous than the Washing Bottle Mountain, not only is it much higher but the mountain is steep. Dongfang Ao sent a sentinel to explore the mountain at the same time he also walked around in front of the mountain, and the defense and soldiers he saw made him pout, although he only watched from a distance, he could also see that the guards here were not elite, and it was really not difficult to attack.

Back to the camp, the sentinels came back one after another to report, Dongfang Ao heard that many Shun troops stationed at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside had begun to withdraw to the mountain, he was bold, and immediately divided the troops into three ways to sweep the passes, and the order was very clear, collect the military supplies everywhere, and withdraw immediately in case of stubborn resistance.

The three Lu Yi troops almost hit the halfway up the mountain, carrying a large number of supplies on their shoulders and hands, and the Shun army only made a slight resistance in a few places, and the Yi army did not want to grab things but to get them. Dongfang Ao was satisfied with the stationing, and the military advisor asked him to delay for more than ten days, so there should be no danger in stationing here for two days, and the Shun army would not be able to come so quickly even if he wanted to encircle himself.

When Dongfang Ao climbed the Washing Bottle Mountain, Shi Lang waited for the news from Xiangguo Gong that Chen Min was determined to rebel, and the news also briefly mentioned Chen Min's current situation: fighting with Han Gong, repeatedly defeated, and the public was self-defeating.

Shi Lang looked at it and handed it to Xiao Xiao, and said: "That's it, it seems that Chen Jian and Chen Min have fought a few small battles, Chen Min's life is already not easy, after hearing the messenger say that we are going to send troops from here, he knows that the days are numbered, and under the temptation of such generous conditions we give, he finally made up his mind."

Xiao Xiao looked at the back and showed joy, and instructed the person who sent the letter to the flying pigeon site: "Quickly, send this news to Pingcheng immediately." The man took the order and left, and then she turned to Shi Lang, "Finally, I waited for the good news, thinking that Chen Min had already started to act according to the strategy taught by the secret envoy, his fief was less than a hundred miles away from the Axe Broken Gorge, and his people who were guarding the third pass should get the news in a day or two." ”

"What Wang Jia said is that the plan to seize the pass was planned by Wang Jia and the military advisor, so it is better to ask Wang Jia to send generals at that time." Shi Lang said respectfully.

"You don't have to be humble about this, you are now in charge of the military advisor, and I will obey the order from the front of the tent when the account is promoted."

Shi Lang was no longer humble, and said: "The lower official doesn't dare to order Wang Jia, but since Wang Jia let the lower official take charge of the army, then the lower official has something to ask for, if Wang Jia doesn't allow this military order, I don't dare to take charge." ”

Xiao Xiao said with a smile: "If the military advisor has any requirements, just say it." ”

Shi Lang showed a smile on his face, "That is, I implore Wang Jia not to compete with the generals, don't do this thing of charging into battle, if Wang Jia is itching to fight in the tent for a while, then the next official will be embarrassed." ”

It was rare to see Shi Lang smile, Xiao Xiao felt some warmth, "How to send generals depends on the military division, and I will never go into battle without military orders." ”

"In this way, the lower officials will be relieved, thank you Wang for your success." Shi Lang had a smile on his face a little more.

Late at night the next day, the guard of the third pass sent someone to secretly contact him, saying that he had obtained the secret order of the Xiangguo Gong, and everything was according to the orders of the Yi State. Shi Lang gave him a secret opportunity, and sent a few sheep with him, and these sheep were not only used to reward them, but mainly to collect blood.

Early the next morning, Shi Lang ordered the tent to be raised, and the people in the lobby will wear helmets and armor and stand solemnly, Shi Lang sits in the center, and a special seat is set up for Xiao Xiao on the left, Xiao Xiao sits with a straight face, and his pretty face is as calm as water.

Shi Lang swept over the generals with a calm gaze, and told the general situation of the operation in a loud voice, these secrets are only known to several senior generals such as Mi Han, everyone heard that not only can the axe break the gorge be easily captured, but the Xiangguo Gong over there also threw himself into the Yi country, and immediately the crowd was excited and knew that the time had come to make meritorious contributions.
