Chapter 61: The Book of Arrows (I)
On this day, after He Ran finished disposing of the military affairs sent from various places, the guards came to report, and Dazai sent someone to see him.
He Ran passed in and saw that it was Su Li, the chief of Su Ge's guard.
Su Li presented a small bag wrapped in red silk and said, "Military advisor, this is sent by Dazai's villain." ”
He Ran opened it and saw that it was a white silk strip, and there was a line of small characters on the silk strip: Zhao and Fan want to marry, and the messenger has arrived at Sange.
He Ran knew that this Sange was the residence of King Fan, so he frowned slightly and asked Su Li, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Someone tied this silk strip to an arrow and shot it into the courtyard in the middle of the night." Suri bowed in return.
"Don't be so polite." He Ran smiled at him, "What did Dazai say?" ”
Su Li is also familiar with the military advisor, so he no longer is polite, and lowers his hand and says: "Dazai guesses that the Zhao people who are dissatisfied with King Zhao may have leaked secrets to us, and let the villain ask the military advisor what he thinks." ”
He Ran flipped through the silk strip a few times, and said: "What Dazai said makes sense, well...... there is also a possibility that it was done by Shunren, they are most concerned about the movements of Fanbang, there must be many secret agents there, most of them have found out the identity of the envoy of Zhao State, reported to us, and wanted to provoke our relationship with Zhao State." ”
"Oh......, the villain has written it down, if the military advisor has no other instructions, the villain will go back to report it." Su Li looked at the military advisor with admiration.
He Ran asked for a silver ingot from Hong Qi and threw it to him, "Go ahead." ”
Su Li smiled and thanked him, turned around and walked outside, and before he reached the door, he heard the military advisor call: "Come back." Su Li hurriedly walked back again, but the military advisor didn't speak for a long time with the silk stick, and he didn't dare to say much and waited.
"You've memorized what I'm saying." He Ran paused for a moment, and then said: "Let Dazai send an envoy to Dingyang with this silk strip to ask King Zhao if there is really something wrong, the number of envoys should not be too much, but the official position should be high, and the matter of the envoy should not be publicized, but a little news should be passed out subtly, and the envoy should be instructed to secretly tell King Zhao after arriving in Zhao State, saying that the military adviser suspects that this silk strip is a plan to sow discord in Shunguo, and ask King Zhao to show Shunguo a cooperative scene, and then there is no need to say more, King Zhao will know how to do it." ”
Although Su Li is a shrewd person, he is still a little dizzy when he listens, lest he remember badly, so he grinned and said: "The military advisor should write a letter, if the villain misses or misses one or two, it won't be delayed." ”
He Ran dared to write in front of them, and said with a smile: "It's better for you to keep it in mind, you repeat it, and I'll correct you if there is any mistake." ”
Su Li had no choice but to retell while recalling, only forgetting one, He Ran nodded approvingly, and said that one again, Su Li repeated it again, He Ran waved his hand and said, "Go." ”
Su Li couldn't help but silently walked out, he didn't dare to be distracted on the way back, he really didn't understand why the military advisor refused to write a letter for such an important and complicated matter, this road has already been too peaceful, and he doesn't have to worry about the letter being robbed.
Seeing Su Li leaving, Hong Yan was in a hurry, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and leaned close to the military advisor's ear and said, "Military advisor, if Lord Jin is kind enough to report to you, wouldn't it be ...... for us to do this." ”
He Ran patted him on the shoulder and said: "There is growth, there are more things in my mind than before, this point I have thought of, first of all, such a confidential matter Lord Jin may not be able to know, and secondly, even if he knows, he will definitely not leak it to us, brotherhood and loyalty to the monarch and the protection of the country are more important than the other, Lord Jin can distinguish which is more important." ”
"Oh......, hehe, I'm smart again, the military advisor thought of this a long time ago." Hong Yan was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that the rest of the guards showed mocking smiles at Hong Yan, He Ran put away his smile and said: "It's good for Hong Qi to do this, the wise man still has a mistake, and it is impossible for me to calculate everything, think of everything, you can raise it when you have doubts in your heart, maybe what you mentioned is exactly what I ignore." ”
Everyone agreed in unison, and the red face was bright.
Zhong Zheng was encouraged, scratched his head and said: "Military advisor, I have a puzzle in my heart now, Su Li will return, the envoy will go to Dingyang, and then make a play, and the secret agents of Shunguo will send the news back, this will take a lot of time, aren't we about to start a war with Shunguo, I'm afraid this battle will start when this news arrives, isn't it meaningless?" ”
He Ran shook his head and said: "I've always been the most clever when you are you, but you still forgot the front after listening to it, but the arrangements behind me are easy for you to ignore the previous words, think about what I said when I asked Dazai to send envoys?" ”
"Oh! At that time, there were Shunguo secret agents who began to send news back. Zhong Zheng came to his senses, and then said with a smile: "The arrangements behind are more like tricks, and it's really like what you said, after listening to your words to let King Zhao cooperate with the play, I just want the Shunguo secret agent to go back to report the news at that time, I really forgot about it before, hehe, these words are really enough for Su Li to remember." ”
"Anything else?" He Ran saw Zhong Zheng and quickly frowned again.
"Hmm...... But that's how it is calculated, and the news reaches Shunguo and it is almost about to start a war, which seems to have a ...... effect."
"Fighting a war with soldiers is not to mention a day, that is, a moment and a half are extremely precious, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 possibility we must do enough effort, remember, the victory or defeat of a battle is not determined by the battlefield but before the war, we are just a little tired to do this, but once it is effective, it can slow down the decision-making and deployment of the country, and the victory or defeat is often between this millimeter."
Speaking of this, He Ran smiled, because Zhong Zheng's brows had just stretched and wrinkled, "Still have doubts?" ”
Zhong Zheng was also a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "No...... Nope. ”
"Are you wondering which side of Zhao and Shun voted for this silk strip?" He Ran looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
"Hehe, the military advisor really saw me thoroughly." Zhong Zheng smirked.
He Ran stood up and said, "Then you can think about it slowly, and if you can come up with it, come back and tell me." As he spoke, he walked towards the door, and when he arrived at the door, he turned to Zhong Zheng, who was still thinking hard, and said, "I forgot to ask you, what happened to the girl who asked you to meet the love flower last time?" ”
Zhong Zheng said with a bitter face: "The military advisor also mentioned it, I just said that my master can't come today, she was anxious, asked me when I can come, I said that the master is not from Dingyang, something happened at home and rushed back, before I could continue to make it up, she cried loudly, how I persuaded her to ignore it, just grabbed me and asked where your master's family lived, I finally had no choice but to escape." ”
He Ran shook his head, turned to Hong Qi and said, "When Xi Qun comes back, you should do whatever you want, it's the right thing to get her back to the valley as soon as possible." He was naturally referring to Xi Yu's beloved daughter.
Grateful and embarrassed, she blushed in the laughter of everyone.
