Chapter Ninety-Nine: Supporting the Queen (I)
From the moment he received the army, He Heng had doubts about the crusade against Sipu, and at this moment, seeing that the military advisor was going to execute the princes who had been sealed by the Son of Heaven, he felt even more inappropriate, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Jin with his eyes, and motioned for him to come out together to dissuade him, but he didn't want Wang Jin to secretly wave his hand at him.
He Heng felt that he was deeply favored by the military advisor, even if he could not get Wang Jin's support, he should remind the military advisor in time, so he took a step forward and said: "My lord, the last general thinks that it seems inappropriate to behead the princes of one side......
He Ran interrupted him with a smile: "I know what you want to say, I won't say the same thing twice, and let General Wang tell you later." After speaking, he summoned the case officer and drafted a letter to Mo Ju, to the effect that Si Pu provoked for no reason and sent troops to prevent Yi Jun from returning to the division, and he punished him in a fit of anger. Then he ordered the magistrate to write a petition to the Son of Heaven according to this meaning.
After doing these things, he seemed very happy, and said to the two generals, Wang and He: "Reward the soldiers, you can drink today." ”
That night, he summoned He Heng and asked with a smile, "Has General Wang made it clear to you?" ”
He Heng nodded and said, "The last general has already made the intentions of the Lord clear. ”
He Ran asked him to sit opposite him, spread out the geographical map and said: "I have discussed with the general, the western territory is guarded by Su Ming, and the burden of defense in the north will fall on you, although the border you want to defend is thousands of miles, but the face is only some newly established small countries, as long as Kang Guo does not send troops, there will be no major incidents, and in the future, just arrange some men and horses in some dangerous places, and when the new policy is implemented, you will have enough soldiers to deploy, remember, your current task is not to defend against the enemy in the north, Because Kang Guo's army is still on Su Ming's side, after I kill Si Pu, if Kang Guo wants to ask for the guilt, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the western defense line, so you should also regard yourself as the backup of the front army at this moment, if the Kang army deceived Su Ming and secretly dispatched the army to kill from your side, then your responsibility is not to resist the enemy, but to preserve your strength and fight and retreat to try to buy time for me to mobilize men and horses. ”
As he spoke, he pointed with his finger on the geographical map, and finally pressed on the location of Xianhu Mountain, "Retreat to Qingsongkou here, I will send a group of men and horses to set up an ambush here, in case the reinforcements can't arrive in time to set up an ambush, then you will hold on to the danger, and after I go back, I will order people to strengthen the defense there, and hoard more grain, grass and military resources." ”
"The last general understands!" He Heng has a strategy, because he knows that the military adviser is like a stream, so he boldly speaks out, and according to his understanding of the surrounding terrain, he put forward some strategies to resist the enemy.
He Ran and him considered it in detail, deduced it repeatedly, and didn't let him go back until late at night.
On the second day, He Ran summoned Wang Jin and instructed: "I and He Heng have to discuss the matter of resisting the enemy again, I am afraid that it will be delayed for two days, this is not far from Hanba, if those robbers hear the news of our return to the division, most of them will flee, you will take 8,000 people to Pingkou, and I will come later." ”
Wang Jin said with a smile: "Why use eight thousand, three thousand is enough, let's leave more people to guard the lord." ”
He Ran also smiled: "It is worthy of being the ancestor of thieves, and he is really confident." ”
There was no Bai Jiang next to him, Wang Jin didn't eat his set, and said with a slight provocation: "It's better for adults to be cautious when you speak, be careful that I spread the words to Wang Jia's ears." ”
He Ran pushed him and scolded: "I sent you to Pingkou in a hurry, not to let you please your wife?" You are so unrighteous, but you threaten me with the king, your conscience let the dog eat! ”
Wang Jin felt that he was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke, how can I do that kind of thing." ”
"It's pretty much the same, don't talk nonsense in front of her!" He Ran was still a little weak-hearted, "Take eight thousand people with you, there are many capable people among the thieves, and you can't take it lightly." ”
Seeing that his words were still with a gun and a stick, Wang Jin shook his head helplessly, and said lazily: "Take the order." When he walked to the tent, he turned around and asked with a smile, "The military advisor's words of praise for thieves can always be brought to the king, right?" ”
"You don't want to marry a wife, do you?" He Ran glared at the threat.
Wang Jin snickered and went.
After the three-day delay at He Hui's station, after discussing all the matters to be discussed, He Ran set off again. After traveling less than 100 miles, the news sent back by Wang Jin arrived quickly, reporting that the group had been wiped out.
On this day, when I came to Sindep's house, I saw that the people on the street were crowded one after another, all of them came to worship the old man, and the sacrifices on both sides of the street could not be seen at a glance.
Huang Wan exclaimed: "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, although the old uncle has suffered bad luck, it is not in vain to be able to get such a sincere worship from the people behind him." ”
The steps in front of the house gate have been piled up with offerings from the people, and several families are sweating profusely after carrying them. There are also a few other family members to maintain order, and the people are afraid of adding chaos to the Bai Mansion, so they only kneel outside the door, and the voices of mourning are endless.
Entering the door, Bai Jiang, who was dressed plainly, hurriedly came out to greet him when he heard the news, and immediately knelt on the ground when he saw He Ran, and only said: The military advisor Bai Jiang will never forget. Then I choked up.
Huang Wan stepped forward to help her up, and He Ran felt miserable when he saw the coffins densely arranged in the mourning shed.
When waiting for tea in the main hall, Wang Jin reported what happened to Pingkou.
After hearing this, He Ran said: "Miss Bai will keep filial piety for three years, so you can stay here first." ”
Wang Jin grinned secretly, for fear that he would say something inappropriate at this time, and hurriedly said: "The last general still needs to go back to Wang Jia to give his life." ”
"I'll just go back on your behalf, and let you stay to let you fight with He Heng on the northern border, not for anything else, I'll explain it in detail when I go back."
Wang Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down to receive the order.
He Ran turned to Bai Jiang and said, "There is something I want to discuss with Miss Bai. ”
Bai Jiang got up and said, "Although the military advisor orders, the concubine will never give up." ”
He Ran said with a smile: "There is no owner of the territory for hundreds of miles here, I see that the people love the old uncle very much, so I want the girl to establish the country as the king, I don't know what you think?" ”
Bai Jiang was immediately stupid when he heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and looked at him blankly and asked, "What did the adults say?" ”
He Ran patiently repeated: "I want you to set yourself up as a king and rule over these hundreds of miles of territory. ”
Bai Jiang heard it clearly this time, but he was even more stupid, standing there like a clay sculpture.
Wang Jin's eyes widened in shock, and asked, "My lord, is this a joke?" ”
He Ran glanced at him and said, "How can I laugh at such a time, you will have to take on the responsibility of supporting him in the future." ”
Bai Jiang, who was relieved, bowed and said: "My lord and my Bai family have the grace of heaven and earth, and my lord's orders to concubines should have no dissent, but ...... But this is really difficult to be a concubine, how can there be a woman as a king in the world, a concubine is nothing to be ridiculed by the world, and it will be difficult to die if the adult is affected. ”
He Ran pointed at Wang Jin and said: "That's not what you said, how can the girl not know whose subordinate he is?" There is a precedent for a woman to be king, and our phoenix king has been king for several years. ”
Wang Jin also felt that this matter was inappropriate, and interjected: "But Wang Jia has no basis for control after all." ”
He Ran glared at him, and Wang Jin hurriedly closed his mouth.
Bai Jiang resigned: "How does the concubine's talent compare with Wang Jia, the concubine is not shirking, what she is afraid of is that the mess of local governance has high hopes for the military division, and the concubine really has no talent to govern the country and the country, and she doesn't know how to be a king, so I hope the adults will think twice." ”
He Ran looked at her gently and said: "You don't have to worry about this, in fact, you are just a monarch in a name, in order to use the prestige of the old uncle to calm the people's hearts, and I will send someone to help you take care of the affairs of governing the country." ”
"So...... So ...... Bai Jiang was really embarrassed to death, she couldn't refuse the request made by the great benefactor, but this request was too weird, after glancing at Wang Jin, she gritted her silver teeth and said: "Since Bai Jiang obeys his orders, everything is according to the orders of the adults." ”
He Ran smiled and said: "Very good, you don't have to panic, after the implementation of the new policy, the king has almost nothing to do, if you don't believe it, you can ask General Wang in private, what does our king do on weekdays." ”
Bai Jiang looked at him and said: "Although the adult said so, the concubine is terrified at the moment, and if there is anything wrong in the future, I hope that the adult will give more guidance and teaching." ”
"You can't do anything wrong, even if you want to do something wrong, it's not easy, under the new policy, everyone is the hero. However, you must remember that at the beginning of the people, the people did not know the new policy, and the royal power was not limited, so you should be cautious in your words and deeds during this time, and when the new policy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, you will know what to do without being told by others. ”
Bai Jiang nodded in confusion, turned his face to look at Wang Jin again, and secretly congratulated himself in his heart that the military advisor had left him behind, and with him as the backbone, Bai Jiang's heart was still a little more stable.
