Chapter 23: Suppressing Bandits (2)
Gu Yan bowed slightly, and said: "That's right, the reason why Zhao Yan fell into the grass was because his sister was humiliated to death by Shang Shuling. If we impress him from this direction, we will be able to recruit him successfully. ”
"Brother Gu is reasonable." Xie Shen nodded approvingly.
Gu Yan really lives up to his reputation for talent, and he can always grasp points that others can't think of.
Qin Ran propped his chin and looked at Gu Yan's smiling appearance, and also smiled slightly.
Xie Shen looked at the situation of the two of them, and thoughtfully took a sip of tea.
"It's just that Tiger Wolf Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if we are sure that we can recruit An, but how to meet him is a big problem." Xie Shen said as he walked to the sand table and pointed to the geographical location of Tiger Wolf Mountain.
The sand table is densely marked with the terrain of the capital, and only Tiger Wolf Mountain is the most precipitous. Aside from the dense forest, even the terrain is a big difficulty, and Zhao Yan is very good at arranging troops, which undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty to the attack.
Qin Ran looked at it carefully, and his expression was serious that Xie Shen and Gu Yan had never seen before.
Her fingers slid across the foot of Tiger Wolf Mountain and looked at it carefully for a moment. Xie Shen and Gu Yan also looked at Qin Ran thinking and didn't bother.
As time passed, Qin Ran finally raised his head.
"I see!"
With these words, Xie Shen and Gu Yan, who were in deep thought, were brought back to reality, and both of them raised their heads and looked at Qin Ran in unison.
"You see, although Tiger Wolf Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we don't need to attack from the outside, and breaking out from the inside is the best policy."
"Break out from within? Are you talking about rebellion? ”
Xie Shen frowned and asked, he had also thought of the method of rebellion, but he quickly vetoed it, because not to mention how difficult it was for the people of Tiger Wolf Mountain to rebel, with Zhao Yan's strict control of the people below, this method would not work at all.
"Definitely."
Qin Ran smiled incomprehensibly, she looked at Gu Yan, but what she didn't expect was that Gu Yan was also looking at her, with a hint of approval in her eyes.
"Lady Ran, what are you selling, don't you say it soon?!"
Xie Shen was about to die in a hurry, and he was even more anxious when he looked at Qin Ran and Gu Yan's light and breezy appearance, and couldn't help but yell.
Qin Ran rubbed his ears with a gesture, and said with disgust: "Uncle Xie, next time you speak so loudly, I will instruct the gang to send you some throat protection soup." ”
Gu Yan couldn't help laughing.
Xie Shen pressed his temples, "You dead girl!" ”
Qin Ranlang laughed, and then cleared his throat and said: "Our soldiers are divided into two roads, don't go up the mountain, just camp around the bottom of the mountain, no one is allowed to go down the mountain, and there will be no mercy for violators." And the second team, sneak up the mountain tonight, don't act rashly, and burn down their grain depot as soon as you receive my signal tomorrow. ”
Xie Shen heard this, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's a bad trick that you, a ghostly girl, can come up with!" Have you figured out the candidates? ”
Qin Ran nodded, "The first team will be led by General Chen, and the second team will be handed over to Song Yan to give him a chance to train." ”
Unexpectedly gave Song Yan such an important task?
After all, the most important thing in this mission is to burn grain and grass, and if it fails, it will be a failure.
Xie Shen couldn't help but glance at Qin Ran more, but the latter nodded at him.
Xie Shen didn't say anything, since it was a method that Qin Ran came up with, then leave it to her.
Gu Yan had been standing silently and listening just now, and only after Qin Ran finished speaking did he ask softly.
"So what are you going to do?"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised.
"I, I'm naturally going to do something big. Sir, will you come with me tomorrow? ”
Qin Ran's tail note when she spoke was slightly upturned, with a girl's unique playfulness.
It was difficult for Gu Yan to refuse even if he wanted to, not to mention that he didn't want to refuse at all, so he let him stay by Qin Ran's side to protect her.
……
After Song Yan finished his training, he went back to the tent alone.
He sat at the table, the setting sun shining through the curtains, looking lonely and lonely.
The son of Mingzhou came to the camp more and more diligently.
Song Yan sat at the table for a long time, and after a long time, he slowly took out a wood carving from his arms.
This wood carving has begun to take shape, and it can be seen that it is carved of a woman, with her hair neatly tied up, and she looks heroic in a riding uniform. It's just that this wood carving has not carved facial features, and it is still a semi-finished product.
Song Yan took out the carving knife, the expression on his face was almost reverent, and he carefully carved the facial features of this wood carving, little by little. His usually cold and hard face softened because of the change in his eyes.
An hour passed, and Song Yan blew the remaining sawdust on the wood carving, and looked at the wood carving in his hand with great pleasure. The newly carved wood carving is finally completed, the facial features of the wood carving look very delicate, the eyes are slightly raised, and the corners of the mouth are raised, which looks like a high-spirited appearance.
The corners of Song Yan's mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at his work proudly. He gently stroked the eyes of the wood carving, and smiled in his eyes.
"Captain Song, General Qin has something to look for you."
Another soldier from the pro-soldier team came in, and before he finished speaking, he looked at Song Yan holding a wood carving in his hand, and his eyes were still soft as he had never seen before.
Song Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly took the wood carving back into his arms, only then did he cough lightly and asked seriously.
"Did the general say what was the matter with me?"
"It seems to be a matter of Tiger Wolf Mountain, I don't know the specifics, Captain Song, you should go directly to ask the general." The little soldier said.
"Okay, I see, you go down first." Song Yandao.
The creep saluted with a fist and went out. After the little soldier went out, he was still a little confused.
The wood carving in Captain Song's hand looks so like... What about General Qin?
Am I mistaken?
Well, I must have read it wrong.
The little soldier knocked on his head, thinking that he must have not eaten yet, and that he would be mistaken when his hungry old eyes were dizzy.
Song Yanzhan was outside Qin Ran's tent, took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and felt that he was not unusual, so he respectfully hugged his fists outside the tent.
"Subordinate Song Yan asks to see."
"Come in."
As soon as Song Yan entered, he saw Qin Ran standing on the edge of the sand table with his hands in his hands, with a serious expression.
"Subordinate Song Yan has seen the general."
"No need to be polite."
"Tomorrow is the time set to suppress bandits, what do you think?" Qin Ran asked in a deep voice.
"The subordinates don't dare to say anything, but obey the general's orders."
Qin Ran patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The first time General Ben saw you, you have a very opinion. Now that you are asked to speak, why can't you say a word? ”
"Subordinate..."Song Yan choked, not knowing what to say, his embarrassed face flushed.
"General Ben heard that you are familiar with military books and are very proficient in the method of arranging troops."
"The general praised it falsely, but he only read some of it, and he is not proficient."
Qin Ranlang laughed and said, "Don't be modest, in this case, you will take a few people tonight, sneak up to Tiger Wolf Mountain, and then ambush in the mountain, wait for the signal of General RB Ming, and burn the grain and grass warehouse of Tiger Wolf Mountain!" ”
