The spring was bright, and He Ran was wandering around the valley with Mingqin Tea Duo. It was already busy farming time, and most of the valley residents were busy. Because the taxes were very light, the fields opened in the valley were enough. Those who were busy in the gardens in front of and behind the houses
The villagers in the valley smiled and saluted when they saw the military advisor passing by, and greeted the familiar ones warmly, which was completely different from the common people who met high-ranking officials. He Ran also happily chatted and joked with them.
Mingqin Chaduo felt this strong family affection and felt indescribable joy and warmth. She whispered to him: "Since you became famous in the grassland, I have also heard people talk about Zangxian Valley, but
I didn't notice it at all at the time, but now that I'm here, I realize that this place is really a blessed place on earth. Not to mention anything else, just the kindness and true love between people makes me feel particularly at ease."
When He Ran wanted to speak, he saw a minister from the Ministry of Rites coming towards him in a hurry. He led Mingqin Chaduo to an open space and waited.
The minister of the Ministry of Rites approached and saluted, and said in a low voice: "Reporting to the military advisor, a message has been sent to the border. The State of Zhao wants to send an envoy, and the king has sent a subordinate to ask the military advisor for advice."
He Ran smiled slightly and said: "I had expected that an envoy from the Zhao Kingdom would come, and he came so quickly. Go back and report to the king. We should repay each other with courtesy. How the king of Zhao treated my king at the beginning should also treat this envoy.
.”
The Minister of Rites was stunned for a moment, then understood and said with a smile: "The military advisor wants to invite the king to go hunting as well?"
He Ran shook his head with a smile and said: "There is no need to poke people's faces like that. Spring is just right. Why don't we let the king go out for some fun? The excuse is that it's Xiang. The quarrel between Qi and Qi has become more and more serious. The king has already decided on the itinerary.
You have to go and mediate for them in person, meet with the envoy and then you can set off."
The Minister of Rites laughed dumbly and said: "This will take longer than hunting. I don't think the envoy of Zhao can afford to wait."
He Ran said with a smile on his lips: "You must make careful arrangements and not let..." He paused for a moment, "Forget it, don't bother yourself. Go back and ask the king to set off immediately, avoid the envoy, and don't even want to see him.
See you."
The Minister of Rites understood the situation and said: "I understand, I will go back and make arrangements now." After saying that, he saluted and hurried away.
Mingqin Chaduo asked in a low voice: "You sent King Yi away with just a few words?"
He Ran blinked and said: "It's a good thing that I let him go on a trip. How can it be considered as a waste? He is also happy to go. It's so comfortable for such a king."
Mingqin Chaduo bit her cherry lips and looked at him. It wasn't until this moment that she truly realized how powerful her husband was.
At the gate of Yixin Garden, He Ran stopped Lu Sheng'er who was hurrying out of the garden with his two female companions. He frowned and asked, "What have you been busy with all day?"
Lu Sheng'er raised his chin and said, "I won't tell you." The two female companions behind him covered their mouths and smiled.
He Ran snorted and said: "I don't know yet. Anyway, you won't have anything serious to do. Let me tell you, I went to the Immortal Master Zhenyuan to plead for you, but they still refused to accept you, saying that you
You are too stupid, but now that I am the protector of the Saintess Sect, I can force you to be my disciple."
Lu Sheng'er said angrily: "I will go to her to settle the account for this virgin wish!" After taking two steps, he looked back and asked, "Have you really become a protector?"
He Ran nodded proudly and said: "Decide quickly whether you want to become your disciple or not. There is no shop like this after passing this village. If you want to become my disciple in the future, I won't accept it."
"Bah!" Lu Sheng'er spat disdainfully and headed towards the west slope with his two female companions.
Looking at Lu Sheng'er's back, Ming Qin Chaduo asked in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed: "She... she's still a virgin, right?"
He Ran said: "Yes, she felt uneasy just like you when she first came here. She always wanted to marry me in a hurry, but now that the foundation is solid, she is not in a hurry."
Mingqin Chaduo blushed and joked: "If she is not anxious, is it your turn to be anxious?"
He Ran said with an ambiguous smile: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll be even less anxious when you come. She can do whatever she likes, as long as she feels happy."
Mingqin Chaduo didn't dare to say any more, so she quickly changed the subject and dragged him to continue painting the house.
Shilang came back in a hurry the next day. He didn't even return home and came directly to He Ran to discuss matters. He also came with Hong'an.
"Why did you go to Pingcheng?" He Ran looked at Hongwan and asked.
Hong An looked a little unnatural and said: "I heard that the military advisor was going back to the army. I guessed that the military advisor would probably go to Pingcheng to meet with the military advisor first. In order to serve the military advisor earlier, I ran there and waited."
A smile appeared in He Ran's eyes, and he said: "You are still far from lying in front of me. I'm afraid that when you go there to serve me, you are pretending to serve Mr. Xi, and you are the real one."
A bodyguard who had a good relationship with Hong Quan shouted: "I think the military advisor is wrong. Serving Mr. Xi is just pretending to serve someone else's daughter. It's true."
Everyone burst into laughter, Hong An's face turned red and he couldn't say a word in embarrassment.
In the meeting hall in Taniuchi, He Ran briefly described the past events. When talking about the secret meeting with Hiroshi Hoshino, Tokiro frowned slightly.
He Ran smiled and said: "If there is a war with Zhao State in the future, you should avoid it. King Feng and I have already made some plans. You can just sit in Pingcheng."
Tokiro said with some embarrassment: "This... it's too hard for you. I originally planned to join the series to fight on your behalf, but I didn't expect you to take care of Xin Yantuliang in winter."
He Ran laughed at himself: "Your life is better than mine, and I don't even bother to complain."
Shilang couldn't help but smile and said: "Then don't complain. When do you plan to use troops against Zhao?"
"It would be best to start the war in autumn. In the past half year, the King of Fan will be able to mobilize his troops."
Shilang thoughtfully said: "The most difficult thing is to give us an excuse to send troops. At this time, King Zhao will not easily give us this excuse."
"I am indeed worried about this matter. I have discussed it with Dazai so that the border will no longer investigate and deal with Zhao people who cross the border."
Shi Lang shook his head gently, "Zhao Guo can bear this tone."
"Then you..." He Ran was about to ask him for advice, but stopped in time and said: "Then don't worry about it. Now that Zhao and Shun are fighting with each other, we have the most leisure time.
We are going back to the grassland in a month. You can rest in the valley for a while. After seeing off the Forbidden Lord, you can help me dispatch troops from various places. Forty thousand elite soldiers should be enough. I don’t need to worry about the rest."
Although he had known for a long time that the war with his motherland was inevitable, when the war was put on the agenda, Shilang still felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, He Ran could understand his mood and kept his previous promise, and did not let him make too many mistakes.
An embarrassing thing. He returned to the mansion feeling uneasy. The bright smiles of the little princess and his two sisters quickly cleared away the gloom in his heart. He secretly told himself that he had to keep his family safe no matter what, and it was of great concern to Zhao Zhizhan.
It was so important that he couldn't slack off at all. He Ran was extremely benevolent to him, and he had to share his worries no matter what. After making up his mind, his mood gradually became lighter.
It was already three days since He Ran came to see Shi Lang again. The Zhao State envoy had already gone back. Without seeing King Yi, he would not be able to get his permission to visit the subjects of Yi State. The return of King Yi was still far away. What else could he do if he did not go back?
Woolen cloth.
In fact, He Ran was not looking for Shi Lang, he was looking for the little princess and wanted to give her a surprise. All the things that were stored in Xiang Kingdom were escorted back. In addition to forwarding the gifts given to his sister by King Fan, he finally
Mainly because I wanted to show off Yuner in front of her.
When the little princess saw Yun'er, she screamed with joy. Yun'er also looked very affectionate towards her. It seemed that she remembered this old friend.
He Ran was very generous and offered to lend Yuner to her for a few days.
The little princess felt that He Ran was getting better and better. Many days later, she found out that the girls in Yixin Garden were all scared when they first saw Yun'er and did not allow him to leave Yun'er in the garden, so he thought of it.
Let Yun'er stay with you first.
He Ran started his leisurely and happy days again, and the only serious thing he did was to drag Shi Lang to see Zhen Yuan from time to time to talk about scriptures and Dharma. During this period, Jing Huan on the battlefield made his last effort.
After spreading the false news that Yi Junbing designated Yang, he withdrew his troops in a large scale without giving Shun Guo time to verify. The withdrawal was a hundred miles away, not even taking the three cities that had been won through bloody battles. He pretended that he was eager to withdraw his troops.
He pretends to save Dingyang, but secretly lays a series of traps just waiting for the Shun army to escape.
White House Bo just smiled contemptuously at this, and later didn't even bother to listen to the intelligence from the Zhao army. He knew He Ran too well. He didn't attack Zhao immediately after returning, which meant that he saw through that he wanted to win over Yi Guo.
The melee strategy and the current situation among the three countries were well understood. In this case, how could he delay it for so many days? The Queen suddenly pointed his troops at Dingyang. So no matter what everyone said, he just did not send a single soldier to regain the lost territory.
Jing Huan was busy for a while, but when he failed to lure the enemy, he had to return to the army to confront Shun Guo, which made it boring.
It was not only Jing Huan who was embarrassed, but the entire Zhao State was in embarrassment. The joy of eliminating internal troubles made them a little light. Even Zhao Min was excited that the day had come for Zhao State to regain its power. It was no wonder that Lin State joined the resistance.
For Xiping's camp, there is no need to worry about the deadly threat from Xiping for the time being. Kang Guo's sycophants are in power and there is no sign of dissolution for a while, and the prairie is in the process of collapse. Not to mention completely controlling the prairie, they are only helping Xin Yantu.
If Liang takes a firm foothold and keeps the prairie in such a fragmented state, then the strength of Zhao will be enough to destroy Shun and Yi.
This is the best opportunity for the rise of Zhao State. Just when Zhao Min was looking forward to a better future, Xin Yantuliang was defeated in an instant and gave him a blow. This blow really hit him with a black eye. If Yi Guo was allowed to take control
The Zhao State in the prairie no longer dared to face the Bell Ringing City. Seeing that the revival plan was about to be ruined, his first thought in anger was to send troops to attack the Yi State while He Ran was outside.
At this time, Jing Huan tried his best to write a letter admonishing the Shun country to be destroyed first. The reason is that although He Ran was outside, he did not bring many soldiers and horses. The Yi country not only had excellent soldiers but also had high morale, so it could not be destroyed in an instant.
What's more, there are Xiang State and Qi State as backup. Once the war is delayed, He Ran can lead the troops to rescue, and Shun State will also take advantage of the chaos. The consequences will be unpredictable at that time, so rather than take this risk
It's better to take advantage of the opportunity and destroy Shun State first. If we can succeed, we can not only greatly increase our strength, but also cut off potential helpers of Yi State. We can also obtain the grassland power of Yedu, and then we can deal with Yi State and Fan Bang with peace of mind.
The reason why Jing Huan suggested this was mainly because he knew Shi Lang's talent and expected that he would not be able to win easily.
Zhao Min felt that what Jing Hui said made sense, so he launched a forceful attack on Shun Guo. Zhao Min had expected Yi Guo's trick to withdraw halfway, but he still felt that he could destroy Shun Guo on his own, so he attacked even more fiercely.
Unexpectedly, after several months of fighting, they lost their troops and captured only three cities. At this point, Zhao Min and Jing Huan finally understood the power of Guang Guo Bo, and understood that General Shun Guo, who was kicked to a pulp by He Ran, was actually an extremely difficult figure. His
Not everyone can kick the butt.
Shun Guo here has been unable to attack for a long time, but He Ran has returned to the army over there. Zhao Guo's embarrassment can be imagined. Zhao Min has changed from being full of ambition before to being worried now, as if he has seen a black cloud.
Slowly enveloped the sky above Dingyang.
