He did not care about celebrating the victory, and even skipped greetings. As soon as He Ran met him, he ordered his army to move forward quickly, and made it clear that he was implementing his plan as he went.
Fan Wang didn't know how to express his inner joy now. He stabbed him hard on the shoulder with the whip stick and said: "The magic military advisor is really not bullshit! Hahaha, the battle against Xin Yan was really enjoyable, it can almost be counted.
It was a battle without bloodshed. I really didn’t expect that the final battle would be like this. Brother, as a brother, I really don’t know how to thank you!”
"I have already said that this is Wang Jia's plan. If you really want to thank us, just kill this Zhao army and never return."
King Fan said cheerfully: "This can't be counted. Zhao Guo supports Xin Yan. They are also my mortal enemies. It is my duty to kill them. Let your troops watch the battle and see what I can do with ten thousand men.
The 20,000 Zhao Jun killed were crying for their fathers and mothers. I dare not boast about you Yi Jun, but I am fully confident about Zhao Jun."
He Ran said with a smile: "On this grassland, even well-trained soldiers like me can't compare to the tough men like my brothers. In this case, I would rather be respectful than obey orders." Then he passed on the military order and ordered Dongfang Ao to lead the Yi army.
Insert to the southwest to cut off Zhao Jun's return route.
I only rested for two hours that night. At noon the next day, I sent out sentries from the front and reported back. There were signs of a large army stationed in the area where Zhao Jun was expected to be stationed, but there was no one at this moment.
He Ran's heart sank and he looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said: "Run away."
They must have run away, and the plan of breaking up the troops failed, because it is impossible for the Zhao army to send out 20,000 troops to chase those "broken troops". This is unreasonable. Sure enough, the two thousand people who pretended to be broken troops soon sent someone to report
: The enemy army has not pursued them, they have been stationed a hundred miles away and are on standby. "He Ran ordered the messenger to go back and deliver the order to let the two thousand people march westward, and the army will also march southwestward to join them.
After sending the messenger, He Ran said to King Fan in a deep voice: "Brother, please order the army to redirect to the southwest immediately."
Xiao Xiao also became nervous. If Dongfang Ao happened to meet this Zhao army, it would be a hard battle.
King Fan also understood the reason and led his army to pursue southwest without hesitation.
One day later, two thousand troops pretending to be broken troops came together, and the next day, they caught up with Dongfang Ao's troops.
Dongfang Ao reported with some shame: "The general was incompetent and failed to entangle the Zhao army. At the beginning, he was ambushed and lost hundreds of brothers. Later, although I defeated the enemy's 3,000 troops at the rear, I interrogated and surrendered the soldiers.
Knowing that Zhao's military advisor Jing Huan was personally leading the troops, I saw that he was really skillful in using troops, so I didn't dare to pursue him too closely."
He Ran secretly regretted that Dongfang Ao was a little too cautious this time. He was worried that people like him would not be able to see the situation clearly and decisively rush to reinforce him. Although it was a pity to lose the good opportunity, it was hard to blame Dongfang Ao.
Ao then nodded and said: "I can't blame you." After saying that, he pulled him aside and whispered: "If you don't believe in Fan people, you should believe in Wang Jia and me. This kind of opportunity is rare again."
Dongfang Ao was already blaming himself when he saw the army arriving so quickly. Hearing what the military advisor said, it was obvious that the military advisor had figured out his thoughts. He couldn't help but look even uglier. He lowered his head and said, "General, I'm guilty, please punish me.
"
He Ran patted him on the shoulder and said: "Let's not talk about punishment. Caution is always better than recklessness. What you did this time is quite satisfactory, but I have to tell you that after learning that Zhao Jun's camp was empty, Wang Jia
I didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately asked Fan Wangtong’s army to come to your side for rescue. Let this serve as a lesson in the future.”
Dongfang Ao felt even more ashamed. People with great ability will inevitably be a little conceited. At the moment when he decided whether to pursue, Dongfang Ao really doubted whether the military advisor could judge the situation clearly and come to the rescue in time. It was this suspicion that made him dare not
If you give it a try, you will miss the opportunity to completely annihilate the Zhao army.
It is obviously the next best thing to pursue the Zhao army again. Although this place is thousands of miles away from the Zhao border, with the speed of the Fan soldiers, they can catch up. However, they have to consider the huge threat of the Shun army. Once they get the news
If you send troops to cause trouble, the outcome will be unpredictable.
After rejecting the pursuit strategy, King Fan said: "You guys help me guard Geqiong. I have to lead troops to conquer the tribes in Xinyan. I can't give the remnants a chance to raise the flag of rebellion again."
He Ran worriedly said: "It's scary how cloudy it is today, it's like a blizzard..."
King Fan said confidently: "Don't worry about this. I have already calculated the marching route in my mind. At each stop, I will stop at a tribe and replenish food and grass on the spot. The longest journey is only two to three hundred miles, even if there is a heavy snowstorm.
If you are trapped to death, I will send people to Hongkong'er to transport large quantities of grain, grass, cattle and sheep, so you don't have to worry about this."
He Ran complained: "I thought I could go home after this battle. When will you come back?"
King Fan muttered: "It will be five or six months soon." Seeing Xiao Xiao looking at the sky, he knew for sure. After living for such a long time, he could already guess how much his daughter's family was worried about.
Then he smiled and said: "Good brother, please delay for a while. Doesn't Wang Jia like the grassland style? You can accompany Wang Jia to have fun. The winter fishing festival is coming soon, and the winter fishing scene in Yanerhai is very exciting.
It’s spectacular, the fish is bigger than a human, you must look at it.”
"Is it really that big?" Xiao Xiao looked very interested.
"I'm not lying. It's just that big is nothing. There are also things with all kinds of strange shapes, many of which we can't even name. Last year, we caught a shellfish that was bigger than a shield. The shell was even bigger.
It's in my palace, you go and have a look first, hey, walking on the net under the ice and watching the net on the ice is very interesting." King Fan tried his best to persuade.
Seeing that he had Xiao Xiao's mind, He Ran knew that it was useless to say anything, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, it's so interesting that we must see it. You go on an expedition quickly. You don't have to worry about Ge Qiong."
.”
When King Fan saw his promise, he was in a good mood. He laughed and said, "This family is more stable for you two than for me. I am so relieved. I have already killed Tu Anlun and some of his cronies. Let him
The tribe is nomadic in the West A area. I brought that Hua Geerwang. You can take him to find Mingqin Chaduo. I said before that I would have a big drunken time with you after breaking through Xinyan. Now I am in a hurry to get on my way.
, let us brothers drink a bag first and wait for me to come back and then we can drink it happily for three days and three nights!"
Xiao Xiao blocked the wine bag handed over by King Fan and said: "He was suddenly ill yesterday and still had a fever. Let's save this wine for drinking together in the future."
King Fan focused his attention to see He Ran, and saw that he looked sick. He blamed himself: "Hey, it's my brother's fault. I haven't noticed that you are sick for so long. Alas, I am so happy after winning this battle."
Confused, how do you feel now?"
He Ran smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. I'll take a sip to cheer up my brother."
King Fan touched his forehead with his hand and said: "How can a sip help you? Forget it, you'd better stop drinking."
"Then let Wang Jia accompany us to drink. You two are so good at talking, you are like fish and shellfish." He Ran joked.
Xiao Xiao was so shy that he glared at him and rode away.
King Fan gloated and said with a schadenfreude, "I'm sorry for you." He raised his head and gulped for a while, "Happy! Brother, I have to summon the generals to discuss the expedition. You go back to recuperate first. I'll send five thousand
I’ll give it to you, we won’t need that many soldiers and horses for this trip.”
He Ran nodded and said: "Brother, please be careful. I wish you success."
