After Su Xiyao came to worship the Duke of Tianhe, the coffin returned to his hometown, and the Zhao army of Qulan City also opened the city gate and surrendered at this time, the lonely city was difficult to defend, and the family members had fallen into the hands of the Yi army, where was there any fighting spirit.

This time, a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers were collected, including more than 4,000 soldiers of the Jin family, the old man and the young master were suffocated and died, these ** have hated King Zhao to the bone, but limited to the Tianhe Gong is not allowed to fight against the will of the last man had to endure grief and anger, He Ran let the generals consult the wishes of the brothers, there are more than 1,000 people who are willing to return home, then send them to escort the coffin back to the fiefdom, the rest all claim to be willing to follow the military division, He Ran sent these more than 3,000 people to Linchuan to support Li Yong, the news exchange is inconvenient, what is the situation over there now He Ran is not clear, Since there is an extra group of Jin family disciples on hand, it is just right to send it to them.

For the five or six thousand Zhao troops, He Ran ordered to select two thousand strong and warlike soldiers to enrich the troops, and the rest were escorted back to the country to serve as temporary labor, whether they were in the army or in labor, they were promised a five-year period, and after the expiration of the period, those who served in the army were free to stay and repatriate. At the moment, these people already know that the destruction of Zhao is only a matter of time, they have been captured, and it is a great luck not to lose their heads, as soldiers eat food, the treatment in the Yi army is better than before, and the military advisor promised that in the future, the family can have their own bodies, so everyone is happy, and they compete for the two thousand places in the army. This is the case with the soldiers who were captured all the way, so the number of troops has increased instead of decreasing.

This team is under the control of Bai Jun's brother Bai Xiang, the Bai family brothers are all good at strategy and wisdom and bravery, his brother is determined to be Wenda, and his younger brother is in the mountains, although He Ran tried his best to lobby, but Bai Jun still politely declined on the grounds that he wanted to serve his parents, and the reward was not accepted, and He Ran had no choice but to personally send him out of the camp to show his respect.

Although he couldn't wait to join Su Ming's side, he had been fighting for many months, and the army had to rest for a few more days.

When the soldiers are relaxed, it is probably when the military division is busy, He Ran immediately came to Xun Gu to ask Zhao Jun about the military situation after guarding the spirit for three days, Xun Gu is the deputy general who received the reward letter from Tianhe, that is amazing, how can he not know the deployment of Zhao Jun in this area, first of all, he presented all the official documents, geographical maps and other information of Tianhe Gong, and explained in detail, where the Zhao army has garrisons, where to store grain, where is the grain road, where is it easy to set up ......ambushes, anyway, let's say so, He Ran wants to know, most of him can answer in detail, If it's a little vague, you can say six or seven points.

The generals were all smiling as they listened. You must know that the reconnaissance methods of that era were extremely limited, and it was extremely rare to be able to roughly estimate how many soldiers the other party had immediately and not worse than one or two times.

Qulan Pass is the gateway to the new capital of Zhao State, and the grain and grass and military funds in reserve are enough to supply the Yi army for more than half a year, so that the grain route for the war in the future will be shorter, and half a year is enough to conquer Jingqu City.

Soon, the march plan was drawn up, less than 300 miles to the northwest is Jingqu City, more than 200 miles to the northeast is the Baiyankou where Su Ming's road is blocked, originally planned to go to meet Su Ming first, but Xungu said, there is no defense after breaking through Qulan Pass towards Jingqu, but towards the direction of Baiyankou all the way to the terrain is steep, there are several dangers to overcome, after discussion, everyone feels that it is better to enter Jingqu directly, on the one hand, the royal city is attacked, the defenders everywhere must be shaken, on the other hand, In order to solve the urgent need, Zhao Min had to draw troops from Baiyankou to help, according to Xungu, there are no troops to adjust near Jingqu, under the heavy pressure of the Kangguo army, there is not a single soldier who does not dare to withdraw, so as not only to relieve the pressure on Su Ming's side, but also to attack Jingqu openly, and secretly set up an ambush on the way to annihilate the reinforcements from Baiyankou.

Knowing that he knew that he would not be defeated in a hundred battles, with the information of swift solidity, his heart was clear and his eyes lit up when this battle was fought, and he went straight to the dangerous Jingqu City with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Returning to the temporary mansion this day, Su Xiyao was concentrating on reading a silk book that was pounced on several cases, and when He Ran came in, she didn't even raise her eyelids, and his boss said unhappily: "What are you looking at, what's so beautiful, is it better than me?" Don't look at it, I'll tell you something. ”

Su Xiyao still didn't raise her head and said absentmindedly: "Say it." ”

He Ran casually pushed the silk book aside, and before he could speak, Su Xiyao exclaimed, checked the silk book distressedly, and said angrily: "What are you doing!" Do you know what kind of book this is? ”

He Ran snorted angrily: "I don't care what kind of book it is." ”

Su Xiyao looked at him like that and understood why he was angry, so she couldn't help but smile, poked him on the forehead with her jade finger, and said with a smile: "It's no different from a child!" ”

He Ran glanced at the silk silk with no dissipation, and said: "No matter what kind of thing it is, it's not a good thing that makes you bother to pay attention to me, I advise you to put it away immediately, otherwise even if it is a book from heaven, I will burn it too." ”

"Look at your fierce appearance, I'll take it, okay." Although Su Xiyao complained on her lips, she was sweet in her heart, carefully put the silk book in the bookcase, and then looked at him with an exaggerated and focused demeanor, "If you want to tell me, I will listen attentively." ”

He Ran smiled at this time, blinked his eyes and said: "It's almost time to fight Jingqu, I can't stay in the rear anymore, because although Zhao is said to be fighting for the country, it is actually enough to get Dongchuan and Linchuan, and it must be destroyed Zhao, which can also be called taking advantage of the trend, but ...... After all, there is a reason to avenge my brother and sister-in-law, and I can't just let the brothers charge into battle. "He is such a person, and he is in a high position, and it is difficult to get rid of the blood and righteousness that are deeply rooted in his bones.

Su Xiyao's eyebrows furrowed, waiting for him to continue.

"The next thing is going to fight on the plains, it is inevitable to gallop east and west, this is different from tackling key problems in the mountains, it is possible to travel 100 miles or even 200 miles a day, you can't stand this kind of suffering, so ......" He stopped here, his eyes were full of reluctance and helplessness.

was about to separate again, Su Xiyao's mood suddenly fell, and after a while, she said: "Your illness is greatly cured, I don't have to worry about this, but I have another important task here to watch you, and you are not allowed to charge into battle." ”

He Ran hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although I said so, I won't run too far ahead, and I will stay in the Chinese army all the time." ”

Su Xiyao said worriedly: "How can people rest assured with your temperament, you have to think more about destroying Zhao is to open up the territory of the country and expand the territory, and it is to fight the thieves, don't just think that the brothers are helping you take revenge." ”

"I know, I know, didn't I just say that."

Su Xiyao said quietly: "I used to say that swords and guns have no eyes, but now that I have arrived at the barracks and seen the battlefield, I have a personal experience, I am really chilling in my heart, can you really stop fighting after this battle?" ”

He Ran said with a relaxed face: "This is natural, Shi Lang swears not to kill Zhao, Zhao Guo will destroy him, he will have no scruples, just leave the rest to him, and after laying down such a vast area, no one dares to fight us easily." ”

Su Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll wait for you here, let's go back together after the Jingqu." ”

He Ran immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, Qulan Pass is an important place for the enemy and me, and it is difficult for me to feel at ease when you are here." ”

"I'm right here, if Qulan Pass is lost, your way back will be cut off." Su Xiyao said very calmly, but her eyes showed a sense of determination.

He Ran half-jokingly said: "Take 10,000 steps back, if Qulan Pass is really lost, and the attack on Jingqu is not smooth, I can still lead my troops back from Su Ming's side, and if it is also blocked there, I can temporarily avoid staying in the country, my life is big, if you want to be martyred, you must wait for the final news." ”

Su Xiyao glanced at him angrily, bit her lip worriedly and stopped saying anything.

"Go back with peace of mind, Zhao Guo has no power to fight back, and I will be able to return to the court in two or three months at the latest."

"It would be nice if Xiao'er came along." Su Xiyao has seen the cruelty of the battlefield with her own eyes, and it is difficult to let go of her heart.

"Don't mention her, if she really comes, it's my turn to worry about her, she is really a real charge, and she has to stain her robe with blood every time."

Su Xiyao was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "I'll go back, you can fight with peace of mind, and I won't tell you anything else, you just remember that you and I have the same fate, if you really love me, take care of yourself." ”
