He Ran put away the geographical map with great care and said: "You said that this picture is not as detailed as the ones in the study. This is true, but the jade pieces that mediocre craftsmen spend their entire lives carefully carving are still common no matter how exquisite they are, but the master only
It only takes a few swords to turn decay into magic, do you understand?"
Chuangtong nodded and said, "Of course I understand this, but I still don't see anything surprising about this picture."
He Ran smiled slightly and said: "You will develop your vision after leading troops in several battles. The same mountains, rivers, forests and plains will be completely different in the eyes of the military advisor and the painter. The painter will see the mountain differently.
When you see a mountain, you see a river, but what the military advisor sees is the pass where troops are hidden and blocking the enemy. Although this picture is simple, it is drawn by the eye of military advisors over time. How can it be judged by whether it is exquisite or not?
Down?"
After being reminded of Chuan Tong, I suddenly realized it, and I was itching to go look at that picture again.
He Ran protected the brocade box and said: "This kind of treasure is not something you can look at just because you want to. You just missed it in vain. You can't look at it again."
Chuangtong saw that he was in a good mood, so he argued with him: "I just want to take a look, just take a look."
He Ran carried the brocade box behind his back and said with a smile: "If you say I won't show it, I won't show it. Let's do this. You go to the study and find the map depicting the terrain around Bell Ringing City. Cut out the complicated and simplify it, and draw it according to the way of using soldiers.
Give it a try and if the painting is interesting, I will show it to you."
Chuantong understood that this was the military advisor's intention to teach him, so he stopped entangled and turned around happily.
He Ran opened the thick letter. In the letter, Shi Lang gave a lot of explanations about the geography and troop deployment of the Zhao State, which was hundreds of miles deep and close to the Yi State. He even wrote about the temperament and military characteristics of some generals. He Ran read it while
While comparing the letter with the geographical map, after reading more than ten pages of the letter, he stared at the geographical map for a while, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
His mind and body became relaxed, and a brand new attack plan became clear in his mind.
Although the information provided by Tokiro was from a few years ago, the dangerous pass will not be moved, the city will not be moved, and although the deployment of troops can be changed, it will never change without departing from the original plan. In the end, it must be arranged according to the terrain.
Shi Lang's military skills were outstanding in the world, and He Ran had no doubts about his vision. In the next two days, He Ran read the long letter countless times against the geographical map as if he had found a treasure, and finally he could almost memorize it.
In the meantime, a geographical map that he had redrawn was delivered to him through a barrel. He glanced at it and said: "Judging from this map, you are more than enough to write a long history. If you want to lead troops to fight... you can lead up to a thousand people."
Chuangtong grinned and said with a grimace: "This is already a lot of effort. I won't be able to change it again."
He Ran pointed at Shilang's map and said, "Don't you travel a lot? Choose places you have personally visited and look carefully. Don't be greedy for too much. It's enough to understand one place."
Chuan Tong leaned on the desk and looked at it carefully, shaking his head and frowning for a while, and finally got up and went away as if he had realized something, without even saying a word, let alone saluting.
One day, when Zhuyin came back from the morning and passed the central hall, she heard the bustle of people inside. She couldn't help but stop. She usually received guests in the main hall at the front. Those who could enter the central hall were all close people, and those who could make trouble
The place that was so lively was probably from the Central Military Commission.
Just as she was about to call the guards in front of the hall to ask, the people in the hall had already walked out, but it turned out to be Kong Lin and several generals from Zangxian Valley who had gone with him to Xiao Xiao to implement the new policy.
When everyone saw Zhuyin hurried forward to salute, they all had joyful smiles on their faces. When they were governing the Zangxian Valley, they had all served under Zhuyin and were very familiar with him. Naturally, they were very happy to meet each other now.
Zhuyin was also very happy to see them and said: "But we haven't seen you for a long time. Did Wang Jia let you back?"
Kong Lin said: "Yes, the new policy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and we have nothing to do there. We have begged Wang Jia several times to let us come back, and this time we finally got it right."
"That's very good." Zhuyin looked at He Ran and said: "These brothers are here, why do you have to take care of the food and drink? It seems that you have to send them away now? Isn't it too stingy?"
Kong Lin and others laughed.
He Ran smiled and said: "I am not stingy, but considerate. They have been here for so long. Do you want to ask them if they want to have a meal at my place or would they rather go home to see my lovely wife?"
Everyone laughs again.
Zhuyin covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You are really shameless!" Then he turned to everyone, "Then go quickly, I won't delay you any longer."
Kong Lin led everyone to say goodbye, and He Ran took Zhuyin to the door of the house. Everyone talked and laughed as if they were a family.
Back in the inner house, the smile on He Ran's face had faded.
Zhuyin stared at him and asked, "Is there something wrong again?"
He Ran pondered and said: "Today I got a letter from Fei Ge from Chaodu."
"What?!" Zhuyin asked nervously.
He Ran said calmly: "Xiping has withdrawn its troops."
"Really?!" Zhuyin grabbed his arm tightly in surprise and joy.
He Ran looked at her and said: "Don't be too happy first, it may not be a good thing."
Zhuyin became nervous again, "How do you say this?"
He Ran took off his official uniform for her and said: "Weng Liang is Leng Yi's proud disciple. If he only blindly attacks a fortified city, his master will be pissed to death."
"Are you saying that his withdrawal was a ploy?" She grabbed He Ran's hand and asked eagerly.
"I can't say for sure whether I am really withdrawing my troops or trying to use deception. I can only wait for the next news. Although I don't know the details, guarding against the enemy's deception was my first thought after hearing the news.
"
"If there is really a scam..." Zhuyin pursed her lips, feeling extremely worried.
He Ran comforted and said: "I have sent a message back and asked our people to spread the news quietly, saying that Xiping wants to use the strategy of withdrawing troops to paralyze the defenders and is looking for opportunities to deceive the city. This section of the capital is full of soldiers, so the defenders should not
They will ignore such rumors, and as long as they are on guard, Weng Liang will not be able to use his clever plan."
Zhuyin was overjoyed, held his face and kissed him, "It's so adorable! You can be of great help even though you are thousands of miles away. If Weng Liang's plot is really solved, I will personally go to the street to help you."
Promote this magical plan of the miraculous strategist!"
He Ran laughed and said: "I think you are out of your mind. Your wife is praising her husband and you are not making people laugh to death. Don't embarrass me."
"Just go and say it!" Zhuyin couldn't hold back his joy. He threw off the court uniform that he had half taken off, and suddenly said abruptly: "I'll make your and Xiaozhu's good deeds come true."
He Ran didn't expect that she would suddenly say such a thing, and she said angrily and funny: "You are so happy that you are dizzy? It should be my sister's job to make it happen, right?"
Zhuyin was really overjoyed, and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, I have many ways, and Sijing, I think you like her too, so I'll help you too."
He Ran couldn't laugh or cry, "Why didn't you mention the comings and goings? You are so generous of others."
Zhuyin covered her mouth and smiled and said: "After all, they are still a few years younger. I know you don't like little girls. Xiaozhu and Jing'er are not young anymore, and they are both very willing, so why don't you behave like this?"
Looks good."
He Ran waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The more I talk about it, the more it becomes unseemly. How can we meet again after the news reaches their ears? Stop talking about it now."
"You really don't want to?" Zhuyin asked with a wink.
"I even left the green rope. As you said, I don't like little girls. Let them play happily."
Zhuyin blinked meaningfully and said, "It's my fault that Qi Min, Baili He and the others are so affectionate. It turns out they prefer those with mature charm."
He Ran pulled her over, kissed her hard and said, "I prefer someone as delicate and naughty as you!"
Before there was any further news from the capital, an urgent report came from the border: Zhao Guo sent an envoy!
After hearing Chuan Tong's report, He Ran smiled. He finally saw Zhao Guo taking action. Now he was not afraid of Zhao Guo's troubles but was afraid that it would not make any movement. Taking action showed that Zhao Min could not wait any longer.
"This time Zhao State sent an envoy to urge us to attack Shun State again, right?" Chuang Tong asked tentatively.
He Ran didn't answer but asked: "Where is your drawing? It's been several days and you still haven't finished it?"
"I don't know how to draw anymore. After seeing Xiang Ling's pictures, I can't start to draw. One moment I feel like I should draw everything, and the next moment I feel like I shouldn't draw anything at all."
"Have you been idle all this time?" He Ran asked, rolling his eyes.
"I'm reading military books."
"Oh?" He Ran looked at him with a smile, "It's rare to think of starting from the root cause. I really underestimate you."
Chuan Tong knew that when he was in a good mood, he should make fun of others, so he turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head, frowned and said as if something was wrong: "I forgot, Madam asked you to clear the yard before going out.
Sprinkle and sweep."
Seeing that he dared to make fun of his fear of his wife, He Ran shouted: "Come back here!"
Chuan Tong ignored him and quickened his pace.
When the envoy of the State of Zhao entered the court, He Ran was very energetic, but underneath his calm appearance, his heart was extremely excited, like a bored child who suddenly found a new playmate.
Zhao Min sent Honglu Qing Yibu. He Ran had met him several times and was an old acquaintance. Yibu was a veteran of the Zhao Kingdom and had already been an important minister in the court when Su Pingjiang was still a border guard.
, so when he saluted in the palace, Su Pingjiang respected him as an elder of his father's generation and bowed in return.
After the ceremony, Yibu presented his credentials. Su Pingjiang granted him a seat. Then he opened the credentials and read them. He casually placed them on a few cases and did not pass them on to the ministers below. It must have contained empty words and cliches and no important content.
.
After sitting down, Yi Bu nodded to He Ran and said: "I said goodbye to Dingyang. I missed the military advisor very much. I was happy to hear that the military advisor came back and went on an expedition to the grassland. He implemented clever strategies to save the country from collapse. The military advisor's talent really impressed me."
He Ran said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yi. After all these years, Mr. Yi's complexion is getting better and better."
Yibu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's thanks to the military advisor."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Yibu stood up and cleared his throat. Everyone knew that he was about to introduce the topic, so they all closed their mouths and waited for him to speak.
