Seeing the demeanor of the military advisor, Sun Zhi beat the drum in his heart.

After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but say: "If you can go down Qulan Pass in one fell swoop, it will be a great thing for our army, in view of the urgency of the moment, the lower official is afraid of missing the opportunity, so he is suggesting that the general allow his request......"

Hearing this, He Ran's empty gaze suddenly became sharp, stared at him and asked, "Have you already let Bai Jun enter the customs?" ”

Sun Zhi couldn't help but shudder secretly under the gaze of the military advisor, and immediately replied: "Yes, the lower official considered, if this Bai Jun is here to delay the army, then the Zhao army in the pass must have known about our plan to flood Qulan City, and it doesn't matter whether he is sent into the pass or not, besides, he only asks for half a day, so it doesn't prevent us from releasing water at midnight, so ......"

He Ran's gaze turned to calm and said, "He must have promised to sacrifice the pass in the middle of the night." ”

Sun Zhidao: "Yes." He knew what the military advisor was worried about, and then said, "The subordinate took into account that this may be a plan to lure the enemy, and the general also thought of this, and instructed me to inform the military advisor that he would draw up a comprehensive countermeasure, and would not rashly lead the army to attack Qulan Pass, and the first batch of men and horses would send up to five hundred elites to respond, and then see the opportunity to act, if it is really a trap, immediately notify all places to release water with the light of fire." ”

He Ran was silent for a while with his eyes down without the slightest expression on his face, then stood up and walked to the window, pushed the window to look at the deep starry sky, sat back in front of the case again, and said slowly: "If it were me, I would act like you, you did a good job." ”

Hearing the praise of the military advisor, Sun Zhi's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He Ran continued: "With the general presiding, there shouldn't be any mistakes, and being able to go down Qulan Pass in one fell swoop, this temptation is indeed too great, even if it's really a trap, it's worth gambling if you lose these five hundred elites." ”

Sun Zhishen agreed: "Exactly! The lower officials felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they dared to persuade the general to act decisively. ”

"Okay, it's been hard all the way, let's go down and rest." He Ran looked approving.

Sun straightened up and saluted: "The strategy is offered by the lower officials, even if you rush back at this moment, you can't catch up with the big battle, but the lower officials don't dare to slack off a little, and they are worried that it is difficult to rest, please ask the military advisor to allow the lower officials to return to the camp immediately, regardless of the victory or defeat of the war, the lower officials will try their best to assist the general in dealing with the aftermath." ”

He Ran stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's rare that you have a heart of loyalty, if you take down Qulan Pass this time, you should remember your great achievements, okay, then you can go back, it's difficult to walk at night, be more careful." ”

Sun Zhi thanked him and hurried away.

He Ran's mood was difficult to calm down for a while, it can be described as a mixed blessing, why is it needless to say that he is happy, but the worry really makes him secretly afraid, what he is worried about is that Xu Tong misjudged when he approached the enemy, if he only lost five hundred elites in vain, he was distressed and distressed, but as Fang Cai said, this is worth a gamble, if Xu Tong misjudged the enemy situation after the five hundred people rushed into the pass, and then invested more soldiers and horses, then the consequences are difficult to say, in the middle of the night, under the attack of two soldiers and horses in Qulan Pass and Qulan City, It is inevitable that there will be chaos in the army, and if it is not done well, there will even be a risk of annihilation of the whole army, although he does not doubt Xu Tong's talent, but he really hopes that it is Xiao Xiao who is in charge of the overall situation at this moment, even if it is Wang Jin and Mi Han, the two generals who are good at night battles, then he doesn't have to worry so much.

Xu Tong should definitely send a group of men and horses to monitor the enemy army in Qulan City, right? Thinking of this question, He Ran shook his head lightly, secretly accusing himself of worrying too much, if Xu Tong couldn't even think of this, then he wouldn't be alive now.

Is what Bai Jun said true? He frowned and slowly paced in the lobby, and when he walked to the door, he called Zhong Zheng and ordered: "Send some people to inquire immediately, whether there are any families of Qulan Pass and the generals of the defenders of Qulan City living in the city, and the nearby villages should also be carefully searched, and any news will be reported immediately." ”

Although it is a little late to inquire about the news now, if you can find the truth, you may be able to buy yourself more time to think so that you can formulate the next countermeasures, and it will take a lot of time to send the news over there on a mountain road hundreds of miles away from the barracks, and even half an extra moment of time is extremely precious now.

Zhong Zheng was dispatched, and he ordered the guards stationed outside the city, Ma Zhen Godandan, to raise the alert level to night fighting.

After arranging the relevant matters, he slowly walked into the inner house, where Xiaolai was talking to Su Xiyao and Xiaozhu, and when he saw him coming back, Xiaozhu and Xiaolai closed their mouths.

Su Xiyao asked, "Is something wrong?" Went for so long. ”

He Ran pretended to be relaxed and said: "Everything is going according to the previous plan, nothing is wrong. ”

"That's good." Xiaolai diligently handed over the hot tea, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "I have long heard that Wuling's sachets are the best, and Wuling seems to be around here, right?" ”

Xiaozhu said: "It's already over, I only remembered this after I came, and I found out when I asked, it was hundreds of miles away, but the march was more than two hundred miles away from Wuling." ”

Xiaolai sighed in disappointment and said, "I still want to bring a few back for them." ”

Xiaozhu said: "Although I can't buy the sachets in Wuling, I bought more than a dozen purple wood combs in Huangzhen, just thinking of bringing them to you." ”

"Great! I'm thinking that the comb I'm using now is not going well, good sister, give me one. Xiao Lai was overjoyed.

Xiaozhu took out a few handfuls of wooden combs from the box for Xiaolai to choose, and the two talked and laughed very intimately.

He Ran sat without saying a word, and whispered to Su Xiyao at this moment: "There may be a war ahead tonight, I have to go to the lobby to sit in the town, listen to the battle report at any time, and I won't come back at night." ”

Su Xiyao frowned slightly, and finally held back the words in her heart, and just whispered: "The spring night is still cold, dress warmer, don't get cold." As he spoke, he wanted to tell Xiaozhu to prepare his clothes.

He Ran waved his hand to stop her, took a large piece of rice himself, and then walked outside.

Xiaolai saw it and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" I'll go with you. ”

He Ran smiled and said: "No need, you don't have the time to pay attention to me, it's boring, I'll go to check the camp, you rest early, don't get carried away with the beauty of the comb, you have been in a hurry for many days." ”

Xiao Lai waved the comb in his hand and grinned, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! No wonder Mademoiselle always says that I am a difficult person, and when I see you happy, I forget everything, and what about the people who have escorted me here? I forgot to send someone back to report my safety to Miss, and I still need to report back to Miss about the next matter. ”

He Ran gloated: "It's hard to admit that you're a big deal?" It's a shame that your young lady is so shrewd, how can she bring out such a foolish girl as you. ”

Xiaolai didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, so he asked a little anxiously: "Tell me quickly, where is my person?" ”

He Ran walked out and said, "Rest in peace, I have already sent someone back to report the news, how dare you bother with such a trivial matter." ”

Xiaolai put his mind at ease, chased out of the door, and grinned: "Thank you, thank you, I don't care about your depreciation this time." ”
