After gathering three thousand infantry, it was already daylight. Jiao Gong did not dare to underestimate the enemy. After setting up camp, he sent a horse to Pingcheng to inquire about the news. Not long after the dispatched people left, the messenger from Pingcheng arrived. He said
Said: The troops besieging the city have withdrawn.
Jiao Gong stamped his feet and understood that the siege of the city by the Shun army was in vain. The real purpose was to lure him to rescue them in a hurry and ambush them halfway. He couldn't help but think to himself, this White House Bo is so powerful. I really underestimated him before.
If this battle knocked away Jiao Gong's pride, then the news that came later made him turn from pride to fear. The purpose of White House Bo was not as simple as he thought. It was just a small meal to ambush him.
Just for a moment. After quietly evacuating the siege of Pingcheng that night, the Shun army galloped down to Baipu City at starry night and took advantage of a false drum. After leaving some troops to defend the city, Bai Guangbo led the army and rushed back to Luocheng without stopping.
The four thousand Zhao troops who came out of Baipu City wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize Luocheng and cut off other people's retreat, but they didn't expect that their own retreat was cut off. A fierce battle broke out below the city. Lou Huan and the soldiers and horses in the city suddenly came out, and the four thousand Zhao troops
More than half were killed or injured, and the defeat was miserable.
Hearing this news, Jiao Gong's hands and feet went cold. Just now, he felt that he and Bai Guangbo were evenly matched. Now all that was left in his heart was shame. This series of neat and clever tricks sounded staggering to him.
It seems that this plan is exquisite, but it is also extremely dangerous. The slightest negligence in grasping the timing and the control of the heat will lead to disaster. I would never dare to use troops in this way, but since White House Bo dares to carry out this plan
, which means that what seems to be extremely dangerous to me is quite certain to others. As the saying goes, people with good skills are bold, and I am more than one in the White House. I didn't know before that I was determined to compete with He Ran for a high position.
Come on, I'm so embarrassed.
A few days later, He Ran learned about the Shun Army's battle to capture Baipu City from Tao Lang's letter. After looking at the geographical map, he asked Chuang Tong: "What do you think?"
Chuantong said with awe in his eyes: "This General Bai is really courageous."
He Ran smiled slightly and said: "How can you be so courageous when planning a plan and draw a geographical map like that of Shi's military advisor?"
Chuantong laughed and said, "Sir, did you say that the military advisor at the time was as courageous as the White House doctor?"
He Ran seemed to be very talkative and said: "The courage of a general cannot be compared with that of ordinary people. Although a person's courage is determined by nature, his or her upbringing will also play a big role. Some people are born bold and may suffer repeated hardships."
If setbacks dampen your courage, you may become less and less courageous. If you are naturally timid, if everything goes smoothly and you are satisfied, your courage will become greater and greater.”
Chuang Tong saw him foaming at the mouth and talking nonsense, so he said calmly: "I understand this, everyone understands it."
He Ran rolled his eyes at him and said: "You don't understand what is said below. In addition to circumstances, knowledge also helps to increase courage. For example, a medicine collector is familiar with the herbs, so he picks up strange flowers and plants that no one dares to eat.
Dare to eat, not because of how courageous he is, but..."
"I understand this too." Chuang Tong shook his head and picked up the tea cup.
He Ran's high-spirited talk was over and he said angrily: "Since you already know everything, why are you asking me? Then do you think the military advisor at the time was more courageous or the White House official was more courageous?"
Chuangtong blinked and said: "It all depends on which of the two is more sophisticated. I don't know much about either of them, so it's hard to make a conclusion. Besides, there is something to be said for the art of war. A commander needs to know the general, and the general needs to know the soldiers. Elite soldiers."
Strong generals are also the source of a coach’s courage.”
He Ran said proudly: "Look, you can tell how fast you have grown with my guidance."
Chuangtong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's what I meant when I asked, but you took the topic away like you were coaxing a child."
"I forgot that you are a great talent, I'm always afraid that you don't understand." He Ran said with a bad smile on his lips.
Chuan Tong was speechless and began to bow his head to tea.
Finding an advantage, He Ran smiled and said: "As for the courage of the two of them... I can't make a conclusion."
"It's a pity that it took me so long." Chuang Tong put down the tea cup helplessly.
"We'll find out later if we let them fight to see who's better." He Ran said easily.
"Okay, why does it sound like they are fighting weeds and insects?"
He Ran laughed and said: "Your mouth is too bad. How can you tell the difference without comparing?"
Chuan Tong said with a smile: "The battle between Sir and White House was won by Sir. Your courage is higher than that of White House."
Hearing this, He Ran ignored his insinuation that he was just a grasshopper. He shook his head slightly and said, "Although I have repeatedly defeated White House Bo, mostly with dangerous tactics, but I was forced to do so. It was not because I was better than him with my troops or luck."
That's good, he really fought brilliantly in this battle, I would not have been able to achieve such a good result."
After hearing this, Chuanggong was in awe and put away his smile. People need to be self-aware. Everyone knows that you should not be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat. However, it is rare for a young military advisor to have such a big heart. He said sincerely: "Your Excellency, you are too modest.
Well, in the eyes of my subordinates, my lord has more than a few treasures in the White House. No matter how clever he is, he is only a general. He can only see three or five cities. My lord has previously conquered more than thirty cities in Shunguo. This time he has already conquered more than 30 cities.
They conquered more than twenty cities in the Zhao Kingdom, and they were as tall as clouds and mud, and they were incomparable."
He Ran smiled brightly, "Keeping you by my side is really the right thing I did. It feels good to hear the praises of great talents."
Chuan Tong also smiled, stood up and said, "Among the senior officials I have met, you are the one who can't help but praise me the most. Come to think of it, I don't have anything serious to say. I'm going to handle military affairs."
He Ran said with warning: "It is difficult for people who are too courageous to become good generals. Extraordinary courage will make them good at showing off their courage. I think you are very courageous. You can leave as soon as you say it."
"Then I will make a lifelong history." Chuan Tong walked to the door and turned around and said, "I forgot something. The secret envoy to Xiping met the King of Xiping. The flying pigeon message I received an hour ago, Xiping
King Ping praised you for being a man of your word."
Wang Bailifu of Xiping was indeed overjoyed when he learned that Yi State would unite with Shun State to attack Zhao State. This was the promise He Ran made to him when he left Xiping. From this point of view, it is undoubtedly a wise move to let He Ran return to China.
, he was very proud of his wisdom. Of course, he had to heavily reward the prince who offered his advice. With such a resourceful prince, why would Xiping not be able to dominate the world in the future?
The crown prince Baili'an was even more happy after receiving the commendation, and regarded He Ran as his lucky star. Not only did he help him consolidate his position as crown prince, but he was also helping Xiping conquer the Zhao Kingdom, secretly thinking that he would surely dominate the world in the future.
You should give him a good reward.
Compared with the self-righteousness of this confused father and son, White House Bo Ze increasingly felt the threat from Yi Guo.
When He Ran got Tao Lang's letter, he also got the battle report from Yi Jun's side. After reading the letter, the aftertaste of joy that cleverly captured Baipu City disappeared in his heart in an instant. He had to fight hard and bloody to win.
After conquering four cities, Yi's army conquered dozens of cities in a row, almost without losing any blood. He was very familiar with this scene. If this continued, Yi's country would soon dominate the country, and how could Shun's country stand up under its shadow?
day?
Worry is worry, but Bai Bai understands that all this is difficult to change. He knows very well that the reason why Yi's army is so unstoppable is not just He Ran's military strategy. It is fundamentally the New Deal that is at work, and it is the New Deal that makes soldiers loyal to death.
, it was also the New Deal that made the enemy people willing to surrender, but could Shun Guo borrow the New Deal? He sighed secretly, King Shun was not as good as King Yi, and his own power was even less than that of He Ran. Implementing the New Deal was a no-brainer
Already.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but envy He Ran. God had given him all the convenient conditions for implementing the New Deal. But when he thought again, his envy turned into admiration. If he were He Ran, he could definitely say that he would not
Maybe the one who came up with this New Deal is something that not everyone can think of or dare to think about. If the always conceited White House blogger knew the story of the Three Kingdoms, he would definitely sigh at this moment, "How can there be a bright future when there is a good relationship?"
