Chapter Twenty-Six: The Painstaking Effort (Part II)
After He Ran returned to the bell city, there were generals from all sides returning to the court one after another, and the majestic generals could often be seen on the street.
Xu Tong entered the palace to visit the queen, and he didn't even return to the mansion and came directly to He Ran.
Seeing his good brother who had always been giggling lying pitifully on the couch at the moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said with a choke of words: "The king has told me, I have a relationship with Jin Dian, and I am also very sorry when I hear his murderous letter, you summoned me back to kill Zhao." ”
He Ran nodded and said: "Yes, the generals have been transferred back for you, except that the prime minister can't be reluctant, you can use whoever you want, I don't want to wait for a moment, if it weren't for the mood to be unsuitable for commanding the army, I would have led the troops to the expedition a long time ago, this time it is to avenge my brother, you must not refuse, and I will come back for you when I am a little better." ”
Xu Tong said unhappily: "I don't like to hear this, don't say that I have a friendship with Jin Dian, but I don't know it at all, your brother is my brother, you take care of it, I won't agree if you want to lead the troops like this now, everything has me, how do you say to fight." ”
He Ran unfolded the geographical map beside him, and pointed out: "There is nothing to say, the soldiers are directed at Jingqu to force Zhao Min to divide the troops to defend, and only occupy the city that can guarantee the grain road along the road, first destroy Zhao and then divide the land, I have sent a messenger to the place where the Kangguo garrison is to meet the Mo army division, this battle is to defeat all the Zhao army by thunderous means, the sooner the better, it is best to let Xiping take advantage of less, and then the two of us will set a strategy according to the situation to resist Xiping, this is a later story, when the soldiers force Jingqu, I will rush over to meet with the Mo army division, I'll take care of the rest. ”
Xu Tong looked at the geographical map and nodded slowly,
He Ran instructed: "Be careful along the way, there should be nothing wrong with the first three or five hundred miles, you can be more careful later, you need to beware of Jing Yuan's surprise troops, although it is a thunderous method, but you should not be too anxious, when the army arrives in Pingfu, the flying pigeon will inform me, don't rush forward before you get my reply, because Qiaohai is plotting against Dongchuan's Zi Hou Li Ping, once you succeed, the grain and grass of the army can be supplied from Dongchuan nearby, and the left flank of your march route will be safer." ”
"Okay, I've made a note of how many soldiers and horses you're going to send." Xu Tong looked at him and asked,
He Ran curled his fingers and said: "Su Ming, Dongfang Ao, and Wang Jin each led 10,000 elite soldiers, and at this moment they have already set off to come, I have transferred 8,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Pingcheng, plus 10,000 soldiers from Xiang and Qi combined, plus 2,000 soldiers from Dagan's department, this is 50,000 horses, and the 30,000 troops you have on hand now can at least draw out 10,000 elites, so that it is 60,000 numbers. ”
Xu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "That's enough, but I still have to borrow someone from you, and you must give it to me." ”
"Except for my wives, I will give you whatever you want."
Xu Tong pushed him with a smile and said, "Wear the bucket." ”
He Ran smiled and said: "You are really good at picking, he is not only familiar with the geography and customs of all parties, but also good at scheming, and he is a powerful arm that I have cultivated easily.
Xu Tong said disdainfully: "What you cultivated, I admired his name a few years ago, and he refused several times, you picked up this big bargain by making some fame, I won't rob you, I will give it back to you when you replace me." ”
"Okay, okay, but we have something to say first, don't take advantage of this time to deliberately woo him, if he doesn't want to come back, I won't agree."
Xu Tong said disdainfully: "You should be as crooked as you, I have to talk to you about this, let him know that you are an unrighteous person who can be won over with good food and drink." ”
He Ran didn't care and said, "Whatever, I also said something more ugly than this to his face." ”
Xu Tong shook his head and said convincingly: "Only you pull people from others, and others don't have to think about pulling people from you." ”
"It's good to know, learn from you." He Ran said proudly,
Xu Tongdao: "I can't learn it, even if I have your sincere heart for my brother, I can't learn your flamboyant tongue, we are brothers with you in fact, we are also happy, listening to your nonsense for a while, I will be happy unconsciously." ”
He Ran rolled his eyes and said: "You have always treated me as a juggler, what bullshit brother, go ahead, go home and accompany your two dogs, and we will gather tomorrow to discuss matters." ”
Xu Tong said with concern: "Are you okay with this body, why don't we discuss it first and then report to you." ”
"No, I can." He Ran's attitude is very resolute,
For several days, He Ran forgot to sleep and eat to discuss the strategy of killing Zhao with the generals, and he couldn't even drink the decoction, so Xiaozhu sent it to the front hall.
I didn't go back to the inner house until late at night that day, and when I entered the house, I saw that Su Xiyao, Zhuyin, and Mrs. Nuan Yu were all there, obviously waiting for him after a discussion.
He Ran lay on the couch tiredly and said, "What are you doing, you want to sleep together." ”
Mrs. Nuan Yu said coquettishly: "Young poor mouth, you are working so hard before you are in good health, do you still have us in your heart?" ”
He Ran closed his eyes and said, "I don't say this next to each other." ”
Zhuyin said worriedly: "Today, the imperial doctor came to the inner house to see my sister after checking the pulse, saying that the depression in your heart has condensed, and the excessive fatigue has made the heart and blood insufficient, and you can't evacuate the depression, so if you go on like this, ...... she said with tears in her eyes,
Su Xiyao said: "Sister Nuanyu is right, if you still have us in your heart, we can take care of your body with peace of mind, the matter of killing Zhao is presided over by the general, if you don't worry, you can delay it for a while, and then send troops when your body is better, we know that you are anxious to avenge your brother and sister-in-law, but you can't boil yourself to death before you take revenge." ”
He Ran let out a long breath, closed his eyes and didn't speak,
Su Xiyao continued: "I understand your thoughts, firstly, you are eager for revenge, secondly, you are not at ease with the generals, and thirdly, you don't feel good about avenging your brother and sister-in-law, and this last one is also the reason why you forced yourself to hold on, I am right." ”
He Ran opened his eyes, looked at her and said, "What you guess is that I really hate not being able to lead the troops in person, and I am in my heart if I fake others...... Alas. ”
Mrs. Nuan Yu said softly: "Since you still know that you can't lead troops, it means that you still have a sense of proportion in your heart, don't be too difficult for yourself, if your brother and sister-in-law have a spirit, they can also perceive your intentions, so don't work so hard from tomorrow onwards." ”
He Ran nodded lightly and said, "I know." ”
Su Xiyao said: "I'll accompany you when you go to the discussion again." ”
He Ran hurriedly said: "Your body is not much stronger than me, don't toss." ”
Su Xiyao said in a lamented voice: "It's better to die together, and save one more sin." ”
He Ran looked sideways at the three of them, frowned and asked, "The imperial doctor really said that my condition is serious. ”
Zhuyin bit her lip and said fiercely: "If it weren't for this, who would have orchestrated these curses for their husbands,
"Okay, then I'm not going to talk about it." He Ran blinked his eyes and said, "Hurry up and fry another medicine, I didn't drink much of the bowl I sent at night, it was too bitter, so I secretly poured a lot while Xiaozhu wasn't paying attention." ”
The third girl really wanted to beat him, but Zhuyin glared at him fiercely and went out to order,
