At noon on the second day, King Fan led 3,000 men and horses to meet him in person. He Ran urged Taofeng to throw away everyone. When they were still more than ten feet away, he got off his horse and ran over. King Fan also dismounted and ran to meet him. The two of them treated each other as brothers.
They hugged each other politely, and the soldiers from both sides cheered with thunderous shouts.
"Good brother, I really miss you!" King Fan was so excited that he patted his shoulder hard.
"I miss you too, brother. Have the remnants of the traitors been settled?"
King Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's almost done. I'll explain it to you in detail when we get to the camp."
Yun Shang arrived at this time, and He Ran introduced him: "Come and meet my brother." Then he said to King Fan: "This is your younger brother and sister Yun Shang, the Yun Zhiwu from Xiping I mentioned to you."
Here Yun Shang saluted, and King Fan hurriedly waved his hand to stop him. After looking up and down in surprise, he whispered to He Ran: "You are so beautiful, and the appearance of a foreign woman is really amazing."
He Ran chuckled and said: "Not only her appearance, her piano skills are superb. You will know after listening to a song for a while. If you like such foreign women, I will help you find two in the future, but don't worry about this one."
Yes, this is my real wife, I can’t give it away to you.”
King Fan scolded angrily: "You dare to say anything nonsense, be careful not to let her hear it!"
He Ran laughed, turned to Yun Shang and said, "Let's go with my brother to the camp. If we don't do anything else, let him arrange a few songs and dances first."
King Fan wanted to arrange the singing and dancing in the big tent, He Ran said with a smile: "Just outside, she seems endless, you don't have to worry about it, just find more people who are good at singing and dancing." Then.
Then he said to Yun Shang, "Everything is as you wish, no need to worry about etiquette and rules."
Yun Shang nodded, still looking a little timid looking at those brave and tough soldiers and generals.
He Ran took the white-tailed king's instrument symbolizing power from the hand of King Fan and hung it around her neck. He smiled and said: "Now that you are King Fan, you can just give the order whatever you want."
Anyone who touches this white-tailed object that is revered by Wang Yi will be beheaded, but He Ran's move not only caused no one to taboo but also made everyone laugh, because they had long known the mischievous temperament of this military advisor of the Yi State.
There is nothing in the world that he dare not do.
Seeing how friendly everyone was, Yun Shang stroked the white tail around her neck and praised: "This is so beautiful."
He Ran waved his hand and said: "No matter how much you love it, you can't take it away, otherwise if you go back to the Central Plains, there will be no owner here."
Everyone laughed heartily again. Yun Shang's words actually violated a huge taboo, and she was suspected of coveting the throne. But from the mouth of her innocent beauty, no one would think that way.
King Fan told a courtier beside him: "Since I love fur, I will go back to the palace immediately and bring two sets of the best fur clothes."
Yun Shang waved her hands quickly and said: "No, no, no, no, no, that's not what I want."
He Ran said nonchalantly: "Brother, you're welcome for your kindness. You should have some kind of greeting gift when you meet. We can't come back empty-handed after coming all the way."
King Fan looked at him and shook his head helplessly. His brother's business habits were so inconsistent with his identity, but instead of being annoying, he made people feel closer to him.
The sound of singing and dancing started here, and the two of them entered the big tent.
He Ran first said apologetically: "Brother worked hard for no reason. I apologize to you."
King Fan said displeased: "What are you talking about? How can I, my brother, just sit back and watch when you are in danger? It's nothing to run around for a while. It's natural to fight to the death, but I still don't understand the inside story. How is this?
Already?"
He Ran carefully narrated the previous events. King Fan was frightened when he heard the danger. When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a lucky man and heavenly minister. Fortunately, Zhao State stopped the army in time, otherwise this battle would be really terrible."
You deserve it."
"It's enough for Zhao Guo. No one expected that it would be like that. Brother, how many days have you been here? How long have you come to admit your mistake?"
"It's only been five days, and there's still no news from there. In a hurry, we only brought 30,000 troops. It's enough to show off, but it's not enough for a real crusade."
He Ran asked with concern: "Have all the remaining traitors been eliminated?"
King Fan said unwillingly: "All Xin Yan's troops have surrendered, and Tuo Zimang, who is traveling eastward, has fled far away with his tribe. This cunning old guy knows that I can't spare him, so he has disappeared without a trace. He has searched all over the grassland but can't find him."
, some people say that they fled into the desert. There are aliens living at the end of the desert, maybe they went there."
"Desert? Is there a desert over there?" He Ran asked curiously.
"Well, I haven't been there either. I heard that the yellow sand is as vast as the grassland. It is difficult for ordinary people to cross. There are a few groups of foreign businessmen who come here occasionally. It is said that there are many countries over there."
He Ran frowned and said, "It's time, let's clear all these places."
King Fan was surprised and said: "This is not what you said. How could you, a lazy person, have such an idea?"
He Ran smiled and said: "It's just talk. If you really want me to go, I won't suffer like this. The desert is no joke. If tens of thousands of troops go in, there will be nothing left."
"Have you ever seen a desert?"
He Ran knew that he was lying, so he quickly said: "My master has mentioned it before, and he has seen it before."
King Fan admired him and said, "My venerable master is truly a god. He has even been to the desert."
He Ran didn't want him to get entangled in this, so he said, "Brother can buy those business travelers with a lot of money, and also send some people to follow them in the name of doing business to familiarize themselves with the routes. Finding water sources in the desert is the most important thing. We don't even have the intention to attack them."
, it is always necessary to know something about that place, so that we can be prepared in case they come."
King Fan praised: "You are looking at the long term. Okay, I will let people do it when I get back."
The two of them turned the topic back to attacking Shunguo. After discussing for a while, they roughly came up with a strategy. This matter would have to wait until autumn, when the grassland could mobilize enough troops. The specific time to use troops would depend on the situation at that time.
situation.
After talking about the business, King Fan said with a smile: "Seeing Xue'er, Jinglan wanted to come with her this time. I didn't expect you to come, so I didn't bring her. She should blame me when she goes back. Don't take her with you."
Forgot, she misses you all the time."
He Ran smiled bitterly and said: "Lan'er is indeed a rare good girl, and I am very kind to her, but I already have six or seven wives by my side. It's not that I don't have feelings for Lan'er, I'm really afraid that it will be difficult to take care of both."
If you neglect her, you would be sorry to my brother. She is still young, and the girl's thoughts are fickle. I might as well let her meet more heroes of the grassland, maybe she can forget about me."
King Fan glared and said, "I'm going to get angry when you say that. What do you think of six or seven wives and concubines of a great military advisor? Who has an official position like yours and doesn't have a group of wives and concubines? Could it be that you despise our grassland girls in your heart? This
If Lan'er hears that she has to commit suicide, how can you be worthy of me?!" The reason why he was so angry was that he knew He Ran's character and it would not be wrong for his sister to follow him.
Secondly, it was also to deepen the relationship between Yi State and Fan State through marriage. They wanted to ensure this marriage both publicly and privately.
Seeing that his brother was angry, He Ran hurriedly explained: "Brother has misunderstood. I'm really afraid that she will suffer after me. You know my temperament and will never deliberately neglect her. But after all, you can't do your job at the same time. These wives and wives are all in trouble."
You’re not easy to serve, I’m going to be exhausted now.”
King Fan patted him on the shoulder and said: "It was because I saw that you would not wrong her that I advocated this marriage. You don't have to worry too much. I didn't ask you to only favor her. I know those things about you."
, I won’t blame you as long as you can bring a bowl of water to the table. She went late, so even if you owe her a little, it’s nothing. Lan’er is very sensible and won’t feel any grudge over this.”
He Ran said helplessly: "Since brother said this, I can rest assured. I have an appointment with her. When the appointment is up, if she still doesn't change her mind, then I will marry her as my own wife."
"That's right!" King Fan said with joy, "Lan'er won't change her mind. If you are too busy to get away, I will send her there, but you have to send a decent wedding team to the grassland.
We cannot wrong her."
"Everything is decided by my brother."
"Okay! Now that we've finished talking, let's go have a drink! All the generals are trying to get you drunk." King Fan smiled boldly.
"I knew I couldn't avoid your drunkenness. I also brought some fine wine from the Central Plains to honor my brother. Let's drink both kinds of wine together. If we want to get drunk, we can get drunk as much as possible."
"Speaking like this makes you look like my brother!" King Fan greatly praised his attitude.
