Chapter 76: The Two Armies Join Forces (Part 2)
With Zhuanzhi's support, within a few days, the North Road troops led by Su Ming and Wang Jin arrived outside Jingqu City smoothly.
The two generals entered the city to pay homage to the military advisor. Please read, complete advertisement! He Ran was very happy to see him. He patted one on the shoulder and then the other on the shoulder. His joy was beyond words.
After the second general reported the battle situation along the way, Su Ming said: "There are two more things to report to the military advisor."
"Say." He Ran looked at him with a smile.
"First, I received a message from General He Gong a few days ago. He said that Si Pu in Huyang seemed to have changed. When he first led his troops to approach his area, Si Pu was very respectful and repeatedly prepared wine and meat to reward the soldiers.
, but it has become a lot colder recently, and the food and grass promised to be supplied cannot be delivered in time." [
He Ran frowned, and Wang Jin said: "We are guessing that maybe he has found another backer." Because the military advisor had a close relationship with Kang Guo, he did not speak too directly.
He Ran snorted slightly and said: "He is asking for trouble. On the way back to the teacher, let's go see what kind of person he is. I will order He Gong to retreat a hundred miles temporarily. What is the other thing?"
Su Mingdao: "When the army passed Hanba, Bai Jiang, the daughter of Uncle Xin De, came to the army with several followers to ask for help. He said that the giant pirate Shan Du took advantage of the troubled times and wanted to make himself king, so he killed her whole family, and she was lucky enough to escape.
We can avenge her."
"Uncle Xin De?" He Ran had never heard of this person.
Su Ming reported: "This old man is upright and loyal. When Zhao Kui was in power, he couldn't stand what he did. He wrote many times to remonstrate with him, which angered Zhao Kui and took away his title. He has been idle at home since then. He doesn't want to do it now."
It ended up like this.”
"Oh, let's talk about it later."
Su Ming glanced at Wang Jin, who secretly glanced at him.
He Ran saw this and asked: "What are you two blaming each other for? Is there anything else?"
Seeing Wang Jin lowering his head, Su Ming hurriedly said: "Commander, um... Speaking of which, this uncle is very kind to me. When he went to the late lord's house as a guest, it happened to be that I
I made some mistakes, and the First Lord ordered me to be punished. Thanks to the old man's intercession, I was spared a beating. Now that my family was destroyed, my daughter came to visit me again. I begged the military advisor to help me on the way back to the army.
, Furthermore, his hometown is now regarded as the territory of our country of Yi. How can we allow bandits to become kings and hegemons? I would like to ask for orders to exterminate them. I hope the military commander will give me permission." The first lord in his mouth naturally refers to the Duke of the Republic of China.
He Ran looked at him and said: "That's what I think, but I can't talk about this kind of thing now."
Su Ming bowed to express his thanks, and Wang Jin also followed suit.
He Ran showed a smile on his lips, looked at Wang Jin and said: "He thanked me for a reason, why are you thanking me? Does this old man also have a kindness to you?"
Wang Jin knew that he had done something wrong in a daze, so he blushed and stammered: "I... I am Xie Junshang on behalf of the common people who have suffered misfortune from bandits and bandits."
He Ran snorted and said: "How brave. I saw something was wrong just now. You are quite capable. You can actually encourage Su Ming to lie in front of me. Is he a liar? He looked like that just now
How can you deceive me?"
Before Wang Jin could speak, Su Ming smoothed things over and said: "Forgive me, military advisor. Hey, I know I can't deceive the military advisor. I get panicked when I say panic, let alone in front of the military advisor. I can't blame him. He didn't incite the general, but
The general came up with such a stupid idea out of desperation."
He Ran picked up the tea cup and took a shallow sip, then raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at them and said, "What's the hidden story? Who of you two can tell."
The two looked at each other, and Su Ming whispered to Wang Jin: "Sooner or later, I can't hide it. I think it's better to tell him directly." Then he turned to He Ran and said, "Come to the military advisor, um... General Wang is very grateful to Na Bai."
Poor Jiang, so I really want to help her get revenge, well...that's it."
He Ran had a smile on his face, looked at Wang Jin with sly eyes and said, "Is that really the case?"
Wang Jin nodded awkwardly, not daring to look him in the eye.[
He Ran said: "If it's just out of sympathy, let's let this matter go for the time being. The army has been fighting for a long time, so it's not appropriate to work any more. After returning to the army, it is only right to mobilize additional troops from the country to exterminate the bandits, but...
If it's to avenge your brother's wife and family, that's another matter."
Wang Jin blushed and said: "The general has never violated the law of marrying a wife before battle. This...actually..." He was embarrassed and at a loss, and pitifully looked to Su Ming for help.
Seeing him like that, Su Ming couldn't help but want to laugh, and said: "Yes, yes, he has never violated military laws. This junior general can confirm it."
He Ran finally laughed loudly, walked over and punched Wang Jin on the chest, saying: "You are not afraid of thousands of troops, how can such a trivial matter mess up your hands and feet? This is a great event, you guard
Wang Jia has been fighting in the east and west for many years. If it were not so, he should have married a wife and had children long ago, and Wang Jia should have compensated you for what he owes you. When he returns, Wang Jia and I will officiate your marriage in person."
Wang Jin waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, the general cannot bear what the military advisor says. The general has received so much kindness from his former lord that it is hard to repay it with his body broken to pieces. It is only natural for him to assist Wang Jia. The military advisor must not mention anything."
owe."
He Ran smiled and said: "But I have to ask one more question about this. Is it wishful thinking on your part, or is it mutual love? Let's not take advantage of others' danger, not to mention whether her father, Yu Su Shuai, still has something to do with him."
It's a small favor." He said and looked sideways at Su Ming.
Seeing the military advisor making fun of himself, Su Ming chuckled and said: "Two emotions are in harmony, two emotions are in harmony, this general can see it."
He Ran glared at him and said: "If you dare to play tricks with me again in the future, see how I deal with you!"
"I don't dare anymore." After Su Ming finished speaking, she winked at Wang Jin and kept pointing. Wang Jin could only keep smiling.
He Ran said to Wang Jin: "I'll leave it to you to destroy the bandits on the way back to the army."
"Yes!" Wang Jin showed his usual cheerfulness and promised simply and straightforwardly.
He Ran then said to the two of them: "I originally wanted to turn back from the southern route. Since there are unfinished business in the north, let's choose the northern route to return to the division." He pointed to Wang Jin and said, "You will receive 20,000 yuan."
The troops retreat to Honggu." After speaking, he turned to Su Ming, "You lead the remaining troops to defend Baiyankou, and maintain close contact with He Gong to ensure a smooth return path."
The second general bowed to accept the order and asked happily: "How long can the grain harvest at Baiyankou last?"
Su Ming replied: "Enough to feed two armies for more than two months."
He Ran said: "Then when you leave, bring more from the granary in the city. I will also order Yunye to try his best to transport as much grain as possible from Qulanguan and Yushuitan. You can't rely on others to provide grain and grass on the way back. Return to the army.
When the time comes, you should stay behind. Baiyan Pass is a place to store grain and must not be lost."
"The general understands! But... just let Zhao Min go and not pursue him?"
He Ran said reluctantly: "I think this is the only way to go. Wait until I see Military Advisor Mo before making the final decision. Remember, even if you decide to pursue, it has nothing to do with you two. You just need to defend
That's it for your respective defense areas. I have to tell you that it's not impossible to break up the talks with the Mexican military advisor. You can't slack off."
"Ah?" The two men changed their expressions when they heard this, and Wang Jin immediately said: "Although the general is not aware of where he is, since he is in danger, it is better to return to the army and take the southern route. Please don't think of revenge for the Bai family."
He Ran smiled slightly and said: "I'm just making sure everything is safe. You two just have to be vigilant in your hearts. It shouldn't be like that. You two should remember that if you see Jingqu City burning red,
The two yellow pillars were beaconing, and 10,000 elite soldiers from Honggu came to reinforce them. Baiyankou was not allowed to use troops."
"Please bear this in mind, general!" they both replied in unison.
After arranging the military affairs, He Ran smiled at the two of them and said: "Okay, we have finally reunited after a long journey of thousands of miles. We can drink a few bottles today, but only one of you two is allowed to drink freely, and the other cannot be greedy."
Wang Jin took the initiative and said: "Let Su Shuai have a drink with the military advisor, and I will take on the responsibility of being on duty." [
He Ran pointed and said: "Assuming you have a conscience, he lied in front of me for you, which is really a big deal."
Su Ming teased: "Commander, don't think he is thinking about this. He doesn't want to get drunk, which will cost him a few hours to spend with his sweetheart."
