On the fifth day of the war, He Ran led three thousand elites to slowly move forward, this place has penetrated nearly a hundred miles into the Zhao realm, and with the advance of the armies from all walks of life, his battalion also moved several times a day.

He was very satisfied with the current development of the battle situation, sitting on the horse and talking and laughing with the barrel and others, it didn't seem to be a battle at all but like a game, and from time to time the fast horses that galloped to report the news sent all the good news, which made everyone's smiles more and more bright.

After choosing a place to settle down in the camp, he updated the movement of troops on the geographical map in a timely manner, and reported happily after the marking: "The general's side has broken into nearly 300 miles, drinking Ma Lingshui, General Wang's troops arrived in Wulin, and General He's side still got the news in the morning, at that time, it has broken through the Sanhuan Ridge, and the entry has reached 100 miles, and it is estimated that it has now turned west to fight Changyi as planned, and more than 30 cities are about to be encircled in it." ”

He Ran glanced at the geographical map and said: "In a war, you can't just think about attacking the city and occupying the territory, what you have to focus on is the enemy's military strength, and if you annihilate the enemy army, these places will naturally be yours, otherwise it will be useless to occupy more land, but it will be counterattacked by the enemy due to the dispersion of troops, and it will be a rout that is difficult to manage." ”

Piercing the bucket was quite touched when he heard the words, and Zhengse said: "Wearing the bucket to be taught, in fact, I have long been familiar with these, but I forgot about it under the frequent good news, and I was really carried away by joy, and I committed the taboo of winning and compassing." ”

He Ran smiled and said: "Talking about soldiers on paper is not the same as real sword fighting, you are not really on the battlefield, no one can really understand the essence of the art of war without blood and sweat tempering and not being taught a painful lesson, this is no wonder you, speaking of which, I want to remind you that you are now the head of the military division, you can be regarded as a high position in the army, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, not only can you not make a plan, but also respect the generals who command the army, you can't comment at will, you can't criticize their behavior just based on a few military reports, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, They are all good generals who have experienced a hundred battles, and they have their own judgments about the situation they are in, and often their judgments are accurate, which is why there is a sentence of 'generals are outside, and military orders are not subject to them,' the reason why I tell you this is because those guards of mine have said in vain that the generals have made meritorious deeds, and you are the head of the group in the palace, so you should be warned. ”

Piercing the bucket solemnly got up and took the order: "Wear the bucket to remember." ”

He Ran motioned for him to sit down and said, "You are talented, and I instruct that these should be superfluous." ”

"It's not superfluous, I used to be arrogant and arrogant, and I often had uninhibited words, and with this warning, I will suffer a lot less in the future."

He Ran smiled and turned to Hong Yan and the others: "What I just said is you, and what I warned Changshi is also to warn you again, so remember it." ”

Hong Qi and the others scrambled to nod their heads in agreement,

Piercing the bucket said in a consultative tone: "The military advisor just said that it is difficult to understand the art of war without training, do you take this opportunity to let me also fight a few battles, otherwise my heart will be weak in this long history." ”

"Let's get the picture I asked you to draw first."

Piercing the bucket sighed unwillingly,

He Ran smiled: "How many soldiers and horses do you think you can command?" ”

Seeing hope through the bucket, he severely discounted the number he thought in his heart in order to be safe, and said confidently: "Five hundred." ”

Hong Qi and the others couldn't help but look at each other and laugh,

He Ran looked at the crowd: "What are you laughing at, is it too much or too little." ”

Hong Yan said: "Naturally, there are too many, although the long history is more than the general, but people who have not been on the battlefield are not allowed to lead troops according to the practice in the army." After speaking, he smiled at the bucket, "Hehe, I am offended." ”

It's shameless to wear a bucket, but I'm familiar with everyone, and I don't feel embarrassed, but I just looked at him angrily.

He Ran said with a smile: "I heard it, but you have great talent, find a chance and I will arrange for you to make an exception for ten people on the battlefield last time." ”

In the midst of everyone's laughter, he looked at him and said, "Don't open your mouth and keep your mouth shut, you are making fun of me, I'm going to check the defense." "Saying that, he snorted out of the big tent,

The guards laughed again, He Ran waved his hand to stop everyone, and said: "I said that he is talented and not to make fun of him, he has an easy-going temperament, you joke with him, but you can't be contemptuous in your heart, Changshi has a very high understanding, and you can become a leader in this by specializing in any side." ”

Everyone put away the smiles on their faces, although they were unconvinced, but when they saw that the military advisor said so seriously, they didn't dare to say anything more.

When he came back from the barrel, Hong Qi and the others were standing outside the tent, and he asked in a low voice, "The military advisor is meditating." ”

Hong Qi also said in a low voice: "Well, I have been told, you can go in when you come." ”

Wearing a bucket and walking in lightly,

He Ran saw him coming in, pointed to the seat on the side and said, "Sit down." ”

Wearing a barrel, he sat quietly and waited for the military advisor to speak,

Sure enough, He Ran asked quietly: "Looking at the information of all parties, have you noticed anything?" ”

"I don't know what the military advisor is referring to." Wearing the bucket and asking intently,

"Regardless of which side, just talk about what you feel you have to say."

Piercing the bucket thought for a while, and said: "One thing I have noticed, most of the people from all walks of life have reported that most of the enemy troops have burned grain before evacuating, I think this is Zhao Min's order." ”

He Ran showed a look of relief, and said: "I said that you have great talent, in the face of a lot of complicated news, it is by no means something that ordinary people can do to compare and pick out this point, not to mention that you are still in charge of military affairs for the first time, I asked a few subordinates just now, but they didn't notice this." ”

Seeing that he didn't have the slightest hint of laughter, he said humbly: "The military advisor has an overreputation, this ...... It's nothing. ”

He Ran looked at him quietly and said, "If you add the news that the general reported that there are signs of relocation, what can you think of." ”

Piercing the bucket frowned and thought about it, then suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Could it be that Zhao Guo has already planned to give us this territory, and burning grain shows that he will give up regaining the city in a short time, and the intention of moving people is even more obvious." ”

"That's how it should be." He Ran said slowly,

"Such a large piece of ......, if this is the case, Zhao Min is really generous." Piercing the barrel sighed, and then asked suspiciously: "Previously, we speculated that the army used by Zhao State to set up an ambush would gather around the Yellow Fog Mountain, and a lot of planning was put on dealing with the enemy on this side, and the adults felt that these plans were useless, if our inference was correct, Zhao State's troops were enough to compete with us, and there was no reason to give up so many cities without fighting. ”

He Ran shook his body slightly, and after a while, he said softly, "um",

Piercing the bucket, he could hear that his "um" was not an affirmation of his own opinion, but just a polite response, and he couldn't help frowning: "My lord thinks that it may be that Zhao Min is unwilling to fight with us at this time, and let the ground be true." ”

He Ran said calmly: "I've been thinking about it, and it's hard to judge which side you are more inclined towards." ”

Piercing the bucket opened his mouth, thought for a while, and said: "I was inclined to believe that this was an arrogant enemy's plan, but I didn't dare to assert it after thinking about it, this matter is really hard to think about. After pausing for a while, he didn't agree with the military advisor, he pouted his teeth, "The military advisor is not very easy to be, this idea can only be taken by you." ”

He Ran smiled when he heard this, and said: "You are greedy in your heart, so you feel that the idea is difficult to take, and it is expected that Zhao Guo may want to retreat and want to occupy more cities, in fact, as long as you grasp the fundamentals, this idea is very easy to take, and you can act according to the plan set before." ”

Piercing the bucket stared at the geographical map and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "My lord really doesn't have a trace of greed, relying on the new policy, we don't need to leave any soldiers to guard the cities we have taken, and pursue them all the way, as long as you are careful, I don't think it's a matter of three or five more cities." ”

He Ran shook his head and said: "The role of the new deal will become smaller and smaller, I wish I could complete the scheduled plan safely, then I am already very satisfied, the new deal is like water, although it can open mountains and stones, but it will take time, have you seen the river wash the embankment, erosion and softening a layer will wash off a layer, the role of the new deal in Zhao is just like this flowing water and the embankment, the longer it lasts, the more beneficial it is for us, why let the soldiers fight without a fight, can you not see it, this battle is to harvest the previous results of the new deal." ”

Piercing the bucket comprehended, he smiled dumbly and said: "This is easy, after a year or two, dozens of cities, and another year or two, the new deal is simply more powerful than 100,000 elite soldiers." ”

"So we are not in a hurry, it is Zhao Min who is in a hurry, he naturally will not let this situation develop, which is also the root cause of his preference to deal with us first regardless of the dynasty."

"I'd have to do the same instead." Piercing the bucket sighed, "Since the adults have already made up their minds in their hearts, why are they still bothering about it, so doesn't it matter whether they really retire or not." ”

He Ran smiled faintly and said, "What I'm thinking about is what Zhao Min's intention is if he really retreats." ”

"Retreat to dangerous places, concentrate our forces, and if we rush forward, we will seek opportunities to counterattack, nothing more than that, will there be anything else."

"I only think of these, if our guess is right, then there will be a big problem, according to the abandoned area, Zhao Min will inevitably move the capital, we just wanted to gradually force Zhao to move the capital, and now it seems that we don't need to force it anymore."

Piercing the bucket immediately said: "The big problem that the military advisor said is the designated yang. ”

He Ran nodded and said: "Yes, Dingyang is one of the few fortified cities in the world, according to Dingyang, it can control a hundred miles of land, and this city is comparable to twenty or thirty cities, and Shunguo must not be allowed to take the lead." ”

Piercing the bucket smiled: "It seems that the adults are not the slightest greedy for me." ”

"Other greed can not be moved, but this greed has to be born."

"I think Zhao Min will not discard such a strong city at will, and it will not be easy to defeat it, and they can even use Dingyang as a bait, when we deploy troops to attack with all our might, they can take the opportunity to counterattack." Piercing the barrel said worriedly,

"Well, even if Dingyang wants to give up, it has a lot of value, in addition to what you said, you can also deliberately give it to Shunguo, now in terms of strength, we have surpassed Shunguo, and it will be difficult to be willing to let Shunguo choose such a big bargain, and Dingyang has become a seed of suspicion."

"If that's the case, will the adults tear their faces with Shunguo because of this?"

He Ran exhaled and said: "It's hard to say, Dingyang is too important, taking chess as a metaphor, Dingyang is like the son of the town, either side wins, it can effectively curb the development trend of the other side, this head must not be pressed by the other party, otherwise this game of chess will be too difficult to play." ”

Piercing the barrel is good at chess, and after listening to this metaphor, he knew it very clearly, and said with sincere admiration: "Emotional adults have thought about this step, don't call me a great talent in the future, otherwise I will really be in a hurry." ”

He Ran smiled slightly and said: "It's not that I think farther than you, it's just that we are in different positions, if you become a military advisor one day, maybe you think longer than me, not because of your intelligence, and the responsibility on your shoulders is natural." When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Bai Gong Bo, if Zhao Min really gave up Dingyang, would Bai Gong Bo have the courage to fight with Yi Guo?
