Chapter Forty-Nine: The Phoenix Soars in the Wild (I)
In the middle of the night, a thousand men and horses who were resting and marching behind arrived, and He Ran sent them away after giving a little command. Soon, Adar woke up, and He Ran could finally sleep soundly.
When he heard the sound of the horn in the early morning, he only turned over, he was so tired, and when he heard Xi Qun come in and report that Adar had led the army out, he let out a confused "um" and fell asleep again.
He woke up leisurely at three o'clock in the morning, his head was still dizzy, and when he came out of the tent to breathe, the commander who went to the camp last night was waiting outside for a report.
He Ran saw the excitement on his face, and asked Wan Jin on the side: "Yesterday's results were good?" ”
Wan Jin smiled and nodded: "He told me for a long time, he almost killed the enemy's Chinese army, stirred them up into a mess, let alone killed 2,000 people, when they first rushed in, those people slept like dead pigs, and they slept soundly after killing for a long time." ”
The commander of the thousand men kept talking and looked very excited.
He Ran smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and raised his big finger again and said a word.
The commander grinned and asked Wan Jin what the military advisor praised him, Wan Jin couldn't help but want to laugh, knowing that the military advisor was in a good mood, so he said perfunctorily: "The military advisor praised you for your courage in battle and great achievements, and you will be rewarded when you look back." ”
The Commander smiled and thanked him.
He Ran stretched his body and said: "You take someone here to pick up Adar, I have to walk back slowly for a while, this butt hurts and I can't ride a horse to gallop, Adar estimates that he will have to come here at night, let him camp here, tomorrow will not have to be as hurried as before, it is enough to walk a hundred or ten miles a day, the enemy army is afraid that we have an ambush and dare not chase closely, I will leave more people to guide the way along the road, we will meet tomorrow night." ”
The commander respectfully took the order to arrange.
After eating something, He Ran took the four hundred Tibetan Xian Gu disciples and the five hundred guards sent to him by King Fan and began to retreat unhurriedly.
"Aren't we here to pick up Adar?" Xi Qun asked in a low voice.
"If nothing happens, you don't need to respond." He Ran replied casually.
"Yes...... What if something goes wrong? Xi Qun asked uneasily.
He Ran glanced at him and said, "If there is an accident, then it is not something that our people can save, understand?" ”
Xi Qun nodded, and couldn't help but glance behind him.
At dusk they camped early, and slept well all night, and the next day everyone was more energetic, and He Ran calculated that the journey was as smooth as yesterday, and it was getting late when Adar caught up.
Seeing the military advisor, Adar was a little frustrated and said, "I only chased and killed more than 2,000 people, and I really wanted to chase it down at that time." ”
He Ran was not very satisfied with this result, but he didn't show it, and said with a smile: "Don't be unwilling, we even bluffed and killed a lot of them, which is already a big advantage." ”
Thinking that the current results of the battle were enough to make up for the previous losses, Adar felt a little better, and pointed forward and said, "Is this the military division returning to Qizari Mountain?" Why don't you take the Miasma Lake and use the ambush there? ”
"Tomorrow turn over there, I'm going to let the White Lotus think about it." He Ran winked at him.
Adar laughed along, he felt that it was really a pleasure to get along with this Yi ** master, this important minister of the Central Plains not only has no pedantic atmosphere but also has no shelf, and from time to time he also reveals the naughtiness of a little brother.
"How will the march tomorrow?"
He Ran didn't answer and asked, "What do you think White Lotus will think now?" ”
Adar had thought about it a long time ago, and said without thinking: "I think she still can't figure out the reality of the reinforcements, and when she sees us withdrawing, she may suspect that we are luring her to chase after her." ”
"This is just one of them, she will also think that it is Xin Yan Tuliang's side that has attacked in a big way, and our reinforcements have to be withdrawn, and there are ......," He Ran paused, "She will think that the reinforcements are suspicious soldiers at all, and we are in a hurry to rush back to help in the war." ”
Adar frowned and said, "If she thinks according to what the military advisor said, she will probably step up her pursuit of us." ”
"I don't think she dare." Although He Ran's tone was very light, his tone was very firm, "Because she can't rule out what you said, such a big gamble is not done by a wise man, she just needs to hang us from a distance and prevent us from helping in the war, the most important thing now is to recover her strength, I guess she marched slower than us and didn't even move today." ”
Adar thought for a moment that was indeed the case, "Then we ...... tomorrow"
"Let your people rest well, and tomorrow we will march more than 100 miles."
"What's the reasoning?" Adar sincerely asked.
He Ran smiled evilly: "It doesn't make sense, we don't know the reason ourselves, and the White Lotus can't guess it even more, so as not to be thrown off, she will also speed up the chase, remember the feeling of fear when you chased them?" Now it was their turn to be afraid, and to travel more than a hundred miles the day after tomorrow to try to bring them down when they reached the Smoke Miasma Lake. ”
Adar smiled reluctantly, raising his concern, "But what if they don't chase us and pounce directly on the Qizari Mountain?" Then the king will be attacked on his back. ”
"If you were the White Lotus, would you do that?"
Adar frowned and thought, "I can't say it, but we can't guard against her." ”
He Ran smiled faintly and said: "You still haven't really changed yourself to the position of the White Lotus, you care too much about the king, and what you care about is chaotic, you calm down and think about it, put yourself in the shoes of the White Lotus." ”
Adar looked at the sky and thought for a while, and said: "What the military advisor pointed out is that if you really care, we will march to the northwest, if the white lotus pounces on the Qizari Mountain due north, we can wave the division at any time to attack the side, she will fall into the predicament of being attacked on both sides, and when she does not know the situation on the other side of the Qizari Mountain, she has no reason to put her people in danger." ”
"That's it, also, we are in a hurry to the northwest tomorrow, this direction happens to be the end of Qizari Mountain, White Lotus may guess that Xin Yan has made a detour here, we received information and rushed to help in the war, since the main battlefield is over there, there is no reason for her not to chase us."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Adar hit his thigh with a horsewhip again and again, "Hahaha, the military advisor just said that there is no reason for the rapid march of the day, this truth is very deep!" ”
He Ran smiled and said to Wan Jin: "Praise him casually for me, I can't teach him too much, in case they beat us again in the future, we should use these fancy intestines on us." So saying, he rode his horse and ran forward.
Wanjin and his days are not short, some of the temperament of this military advisor, knowing that he is deliberately joking, so he smiled and turned his words to Adar in the original, Adal laughed, riding a horse while chasing and shouting: "There is a military division, we dare not take a step closer to the border, hahaha, the military division is my best friend in the grassland, and there will never be a war. ”
Wan Jin also rode his horse and galloped, and shouted Adar's words loudly to the military advisor, although the surrounding soldiers did not know the details, but looking at them like this, they also guessed that the two sides were joking, and they all looked at each other with a smile.
