Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty (I)
Bai Gongbo already knew some about the situation over there through the prison guards he sent, and knew that what he said was true, and rebuked: "Is this the reason why you betrayed Shunguo?" β
He Ran looked at him dissatisfied, and said: "The little brother said, in the face of such a situation, the little brother is determined to die, and he would rather fight the soldiers of the Yi Kingdom than retreat, how can my king and our army be treacherous." β
"What's going on with that?" The White House raised his voice and asked,
He Ran said with a confused face: "It was King Zhao who took the initiative to ask us to stop the army, although the younger brother does not know his intentions, but it is a good thing to be able to avoid both defeats after all, the younger brother can also explain to my king, Brother Bai is also an important minister of the country, and he should be able to understand what the younger brother did." β
The White House snorted disdainfully and said, "In the end, you still betrayed us." β
He Ran said unhappily: "Brother Bai's words are not right, we are joining forces to attack Zhao, but there is no covenant on paper, we and Zhao Guoyan and the younger brother rushed over non-stop, one is to make it clear to Brother Bai, and the other is to lead troops to protect each other in case Zhao Jun kills Brother Bai by surprise. β
Bai Gongbo sneered: "I'm afraid the main reason why the military advisor is in such a hurry is for the lives of Dingyang and Jindian." β
He Ran said seriously: "There is indeed a concern for the life of the engong, but it can be said that Brother Bai has wronged the younger brother for Dingyang, and this little brother of Dingyang will never be touched." β
The White House Bo looked up and sighed: "Pity my soldiers fighting bloody battles here, but you are ...... Ha ha. β
He Ran raised his eyebrows and said: "If you want to talk about bloody battles, it should be my Yiguo soldiers, don't be sorry when Brother Bai speaks, Zhao Guo has transferred all the soldiers to deal with us, all your army has done along the way is to quickly take over the city, Brother Bai should know, the smoothness here is what my soldiers exchanged for you with blood on the Western Front, people are content, the current results are probably not thought of by Brother Bai before the war, the so-called greed is not rotten, there is already a lot of land for hundreds of miles, Brother Bai can be regarded as a miracle achievement, Don't give up for a Dingyang City, this is the heartfelt words of the younger brother, I hope Brother Bai will consider it. β
The latter words can be regarded as talking to the heart of the White Palace, the current results have already exceeded his expectations, since He Ran said that he would not dye Dingyang, then he does not need to take the risk of being attacked by the two countries and insist on taking Dingyang, his previous words are also true, it is said that when he saw Zhao Guo's intention to transfer heavy troops to attack the Yi army, he should take the initiative to propose to He Ran to send troops to help, although He Ran did not mention this matter, but he should have a number in his heart, if he did not force him to tear his face, it would be difficult to clean up, and now they and Zhao Guoyan have made peace, Shunguo is already at a disadvantage, and if he falls out, it may immediately attract a heavy blow from the two countries, not to mention Zhao Guo, only Yiguo's family is enough for Shunguo, Fanwang is He Ran's brother-in-law, Bai Gongbo knows very well in his heart, He Ran has long been holding back in his heart to unite Fanbang to level Shunguo, and he can't give him an excuse to send troops,
Thinking of this, he softened his color and said: "What Brother He said is not unreasonable, we have the merit of the soldiers of the Yi State to enter the army so smoothly, Bai is not a person who took advantage of the situation and pretended to be confused, go back and show that my queen will offer Xie Yi, facing the situation at the time, it is Zhao Guo who took the initiative to make peace, it is understandable that Brother He chose to stop the war, Bai will also explain to the king in detail after he goes back, as for Dingyang, this sentiment will be sent to Brother He, and I will order the army to withdraw from Dingdong and Dingbei. "Since Dingyang can't be taken, the two cities of Dingdong and Dingbei are too close to Dingyang, and it is already a dangerous place where troops must not be stationed, and withdrawal is inevitable.
He Ran bowed his hand again and said: "I am deeply gracious, and the junior brother has also withdrawn from Nancheng." β
Bai Gongbo pondered for a moment and asked, "King Fan really raised troops." β
He Ran nodded and said, "This kind of thing, the junior brother doesn't dare to talk nonsense, he is indeed raising troops." β
Bai Gongbo exhaled, and had to say in a soft tone: "I hope that Brother He will say a few more kind words on King Fan's side in this matter, so as not to ruin the peace between Yi and Shun when he goes to war with Ye, I will go back to see Ye, and try to persuade him to admit his mistakes to King Fan." β
"The younger brother also does his best, but if the work is fruitless, I hope that Brother Bai will understand, although the king and the younger brother have a sense of righteousness, but the military affairs are not the little brother's words, it all depends on the king."
Seeing that he left live words, Bai Gongbo snorted in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Brother He is too modest, Brother He is not only the righteous brother of King Fan but also the military advisor of Yi Jun, persuading King Fan to collect troops is unthinkable for others, but for Brother He, it is just a matter of paying for a few words, there are many affairs when the army is collected, so I won't say anything about it below, Brother He wants to be in a hurry to say hello to Lord Jin, and he will have time to set up a banquet to invite Brother He to talk about the wine in the future." β
"It's easy to say, my little brother sent it away." He Ran said and bowed on his horse,
Waiting for the White House Bo to lead the army to withdraw, Yun Ye couldn't wait to rush to Dongcheng, he had to see that his eldest brother was still alive to rest assured.
There are still some Shun troops under the east city who are still collecting wounded soldiers, Yun Ye can't care about these, and immediately looks up at the city.
Jin Dian from the Shun army two days ago began to attack the city has not left the city, the sudden retreat of the Shun army made him puzzled, at this time is the battlement of the mouth of the enemy carefully debated, saw Yun Ye and He Ran riding a horse over, he already understood in his heart what was going on, tears flashed in the tiger's eyes, Princess Qingyun came back that day to tell him He Ran's advice word for word, Jin Dian was in tears at that time, the second brother not only gave up the Dingyang City at his fingertips but also did not hesitate to damage his reputation and disregard the interests of the country to declare war on the Shun country, how could he repay itοΌ
Seeing the eldest brother, Yun Ye threw the stirrup and got off the horse and was about to pay homage, He Ran, who came over, stopped him and said: "Don't add guilt to my brother, we can ignore it in order to save my brother before, but now my brother is worry-free, we have to be cautious in our words and deeds, so as not to give others the truth again." After saying this, he arched his hand slightly to the head of the city on his horse, and walked towards the main camp without looking back.
Yun Ye knew that what the second brother said was good, and when he got on the horse, he also arched his hand to the city, and reluctantly followed the second brother, but he couldn't help but look back from time to time with tears in his eyes,
The man has tears and does not flick, but this situation makes the three brothers uncontrollable, especially Jin Dian, although he tried his best to restrain it, it was difficult to suppress the hot tears, in case other generals saw it, he wiped a handful of tears and gritted his teeth and went down the tower,
Seeing that his brother had gone down, Yun Ye caught up with He Ran and asked worriedly: "Let's make such a fuss, King Zhao won't trouble the eldest brother, right?" β
He Ran was also worried about this, and comforted him: "King Zhao abandoned his brother first, and everyone knows what is going on, the eldest brother has never been ashamed of Zhao Guo from beginning to end when he is loyal to his duties, it is our wishful thinking to save him, I think that King Zhao has no reason to blame the eldest brother, he should be ashamed of the eldest brother." β
Yun Ye has always admired the second brother's analysis the most, and when he heard him say this, he felt much more at ease, and said gratefully: "Thank you second brother for transferring me, although I didn't help the eldest brother, but I finally did my best, little brother...... Hehe, little brother will listen to you for everything in the future. β
He Ran smiled and said, "What are you and my brother talking about, it's really a blessing to be able to keep my eldest brother safe, I'm too tired to do it, and I have to rush back when I go back to the camp to rest for a while." β
"Where's it going, the General."
He Ran snorted and said, "I always feel that King Zhao's actions are a little strange, although I don't suspect that he is going back on his word, but my heart is always unsteady, and I have to go back and see." β
"That little brother ......"
"You go back to the royal city, I can only feel at ease with you."
Yun Ye nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll lead the troops back immediately." β
