While marching on the prairie, He Ran felt a little irritable and couldn't help but sigh, "It's often the case that things don't go as planned."
Man's calculation is not as good as God's, and when man's wisdom eventually runs out, even if he had calculated at the beginning, he would still send troops to cause trouble, and there was no way to deal with it. The timing was too good, and he made this move so well that he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
admire.
Three days later, as he approached the western foothills of the Kizari Mountains, He Ran slowed down his progress and sent several scouting horses to the front to get information. The situation was unclear and he had to proceed with caution.
Arriving near the fishing bend of the Walian River, the detective brought back Adal's cronies and reported that Adal's army was stationed fifty miles ahead as the rear team. He Ran felt relieved and hurried on with the man.
Adal came to greet him from afar, and was as happy to see this military advisor of the Yi State as if he had seen his savior.
He Ran asked without waiting for him to salute: "How is it over there, Your Majesty?"
Adal frowned and said, "The king has led his army to join General Dongfang and his companions. To the northwest are Yedu's 20,000 troops. Xin Yan has reorganized his troops and stationed them in the northeast. This battle will be difficult to fight."
He Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no chaos yet, and said: "Why don't you stay at Fishing Bend? The terrain there is very good. If the front retreats, you can block the enemy by the river and support them."
"I originally wanted to retreat there to set up defenses, but I was worried about the war ahead... so I didn't retreat any further."
"Go back immediately. Although there is a mountain on one side here, it is not a place to block the enemy. The more anxious you are, the more calm you should act."
"Yes!" Adal stopped talking nonsense, looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, so the military advisor should rest here. I'll leave a thousand men and horses to protect you."
He Ran waved his hand and said: "We can still travel dozens of miles, so don't worry about me. Hurry up and take people to Fishing Bend. We still have time to get there before dark. There are still some trees there. I'll leave a few people for you."
Let them help you set up defenses."
Adal did not dare to delay. After seeing off the military advisor, he immediately broke camp and retreated to Fishing Bend.
After understanding the situation ahead, He Ran hurried on the road even more urgently. He did not rest until it was completely dark. The next day, he hurriedly traveled nearly three hundred miles and entered King Fan's camp in the moonlight. King Fan was not in time when he heard the report.
Go out to meet him and arrive at the tent.
Seeing He Ran's dirty look, King Fan was very moved. He held his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
He Ran just smiled and said: "How is the situation?"
King Fan did not answer but said anxiously: "You are here just in time. Hurry up and put up the military advisor's flag."
"Why is this?" He Ran asked puzzledly.
"They are all too bastards. He messed with this... Hey! The situation is like this now. Xin Yan is reorganizing his troops a hundred miles away in the northeast, and they are all in the northwest. They are more than fifty miles away. I have already
I sent people to find out. He only had 10,000 people. I wanted to eliminate Xin Yan's group before he came back, but Tanma saw the banner of Baigong Bo, and those who had suffered losses from him after the news spread.
Some of the soldiers are afraid of fighting. You have repeatedly defeated the White House. Let me use your banner to boost the morale of the army. Let's go to the camp tonight. I'm ready. You can send the generals later."
He Ran secretly praised the danger and quickly waved his hands and said: "I must not go. Fortunately, I came here in a hurry, otherwise a disaster would be coming."
King Fan said disapprovingly: "I have checked everything, and I have brought only a few people. In the morning, a herdsman came. He is originally from my side. He had been grazing in the place where the army was stationed in Yedu.
After he arrived, he took away his cattle, sheep and horses, raped and killed his wife and daughter, and forced him to serve in the army. He escaped at night and came to report to me, wanting to avenge his wife and daughter. According to what he reported
It's almost the same as exploring with a horse."
"Behead him, he is a spy." He Ran said casually without thinking.
"No, no, no. Someone knows him. He is indeed a member of the tribe, an honest man, and he was beaten all over. If you don't worry, I will call him here for you to ask."
He Ran smiled lightly and said: "I don't have time to interrogate him. Most of them have detained his family members to force him to commit fraud. This kind of person doesn't know much, and interrogation is useless. If you don't want to, just kill him.
Send someone to keep a close eye on him. It’s best to lock him up and not let him run around and look around. It won’t be worth it if he escapes back and leaks our situation.”
"You're so sure without even seeing him?" King Fan frowned and looked at him.
He Ran took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I'm not arbitrary. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is a spy. Since the White House is here, there is no need to think about the robbery camp. If you go there, you can't come back. Unless we
Maybe I can get some benefits if the Feng Prince goes there in person, but I don’t dare to go anyway.”
When King Fan heard what he said, he had to suppress his anxious mood for the time being and said unwillingly: "You really can't go tonight?"
"Even if we can successfully rob the camp, we can't go to war with Yedu. What's the use of this logic?"
King Fan exhaled heavily and said: "I know, but this is too stupid. I thought that Xin Yan's side was newly defeated, and it would take time to gather the defeated troops. After reorganizing the troops, morale must also be low. After eradicating the
If we take advantage of the victory and fight Xin Yan again, we should be able to defeat him in one fell swoop."
"You can't be impatient, my brother. At this time, you can't be impatient anymore. Just accept your bad luck. You have to throw away the peaches you picked. Being greedy and impetuous will make you become a peach in other people's hands." He Ran said emotionally.
I feel a bit depressed. These words are not so much a warning to King Fan as a warning to myself.
"Then tell me, what trick did the White House Expo use to prevent us from hijacking the camp?" King Fan frowned and looked at him, a little annoyed.
"I can't guess. There are too many strategies available, and I'm sure they don't have only 10,000 people."
"The detective horses I sent have searched a hundred miles around and found nothing unusual."
"How can they check so carefully? What they can find is only what the enemy intentionally asked them to check. Besides, the garrison can be reached in the middle of the night a hundred miles away. Maybe their hidden troops are heading here now. Let's go
They arrived long ago when they robbed the camp. It will be clear at night and the sky will be dark when they return. The marching route is behind them, so it is not difficult to avoid our eyes and ears."
"Then we can choose to rob the camp in the middle of the night!"
He Ran glanced at him a little upset, and said patiently: "Brother, please be patient, this is just a situation. Didn't I just say that there are many strategies available, and White House Bo is not that easy to deal with.
, I have defeated him several times with a lot of luck, but if you are so impatient, you will cause trouble."
King Fan saw that there was no hope of a quick victory. He sighed depressedly, lowered his head for a while and then said: "What do you think we should do? Withdraw?"
"Don't be conceited. It may be too late to retreat now. I'm afraid it won't be easy to retreat when Xin Yan comes back. The people of Shun Kingdom are watching. Do you dare to fight Xin Yan again? Don't underestimate it.
This force of Du, although they have few troops, has Shun Guo as its foundation. Don't expect to eradicate it in one fell swoop. Even if Du's troops are all gone, Shun Guo will send its own army to the grassland to cause trouble at all costs, because things are very serious.
It is clear that no matter which side wins between us and Xin Yan, the next one to be destroyed will be Shun Guo. Their only way to survive is to maintain checks and balances. Of course, it is best if we and Xin Yan can fight with both sides to lose. They
We will spare no effort to create this kind of opportunity for us. Therefore, there will be no fight between us and Xin Yan. We must fight cleanly and not give others a chance to disrupt the situation. If we can't do this, we must wait patiently for the opportunity. This time the good opportunity has been
If you are disturbed, you cannot act rashly because you are unwilling to do so."
King Fan took a few photos of the cases, gritted his teeth and lowered his head in silence.
