He Ran shook his head and said: "Your strategy is very good. It's useless to play other tricks in front of the White House Bo. If you play it steadily like this, even if he knows our intentions, there will be nothing we can do about it. It's all up to you. Next spring, I will let the king take the initiative.
The King's City celebrates your success."
With such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Shi Lang had no intention of joking. He looked at him and said, "I've taken on this hard work, but you can't just hide away without caring about anything. You still have to say ugly things in front of you. If this battle doesn't go well, you can't
Blame it on me, I only have so much ability."
He Ran waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, you don't need to say these words anymore. I still say the same thing. If you can't fight a battle, I can't fight it even more. I will come to Pingcheng to take charge before the war starts. I will never be lazy.
.”
"That's good. You can enjoy yourself while you have nothing to do during these days. It doesn't take many days."
He Ran looked at the geographical map on the wall and asked with all his thoughts: "You said, we have annexed Shun State, which covers almost a thousand miles of land. Can we maintain peace for a hundred years?"
Tokiro shook his head with a smile.
"What about taking the land of Sanchuan from Zhao State?"
Shilang looked at him curiously and said, "You should know this question better than me, so why would you ask me?"
He Ran said seriously: "I just want to hear what you think."
Shilang smiled slightly and said: "I don't know what you want to test me for, but whether we can maintain peace for a hundred years can't be judged simply by the size of the country? Many factors can affect the decline and prosperity of a country."
"But in the final analysis, it comes down to the strength of the army. A vast land and a large number of people means a strong army." He Ran became more serious.
Shilang didn't want him to really argue with him on this issue, so he had no choice but to cheer up and said: "What's wrong with you? In the past, the Tang Dynasty had an area of three thousand miles and more than 100,000 armored men. It dominated the world, but on the Yihe River
During the battle, the Tang Marquis was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, so he fell into the trap of Zhao's famous general Long Yang. Long Yang defeated the Tang's 80,000-strong army with 10,000 troops, beheading more than 50,000 people. After this battle, the Tang Dynasty was in ruins, and less than ten years later, the Tang Dynasty was defeated.
Ming. What you said is that a strong army is important, but it must have a wise leader internally and good generals externally. What’s the use of this principle? You assisted Yi Guo in defeating Shun State, and you should know better than anyone else how you feel about it.
"
"You are the great sage who protects the country. The reason why I only talk about soldiers but not generals is precisely because of you."
Shi Lang smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "You think too highly of me. In this world where there are so many military strategists, who dares to boast that he can protect the country for a hundred years? You, a magical military advisor, may have this ability, and you can let me fight against Mo Ju, Weng Liang, and Jing."
Huan and others, I have no chance of winning. Who knows that there won’t be anyone more successful than them in the future? I can see that you are thinking of choosing an opportunity to retire, am I right?"
He Ran sighed and said: "You guessed it right. I am getting tired of fighting. I just want to go back and live a pastoral life as soon as possible."
Tokiro looked at him with strange eyes and said: "How can you be so naive when you are such a powerful official? Do you really not understand that only by leveling the world can we live a peaceful life? Now we are stronger than before, but we are divided
Zhao State, Kang State, and Xiping will also be stronger. At that time, maybe we will be bordering these two countries, and it will be more dangerous than now. The scale of the war will be larger. If you are not careful, you may be seriously injured.
Can you rest assured if you don’t hand over the troops to others?"
"I can rest assured if I leave it to you." He Ran showed a flattering smile.
"I'm not worried." Tokiro rolled his eyes at him angrily.
He Ran waved his hands in annoyance and said: "I won't say it any more. The more I say it, the more annoying it becomes. Let's see when the time comes. Maybe the situation is not as dangerous as you said. You don't have to dominate the world if you just want a hundred years of peace."
Shilang smiled slightly and said: "Your ability is better than others, I hope you can come up with a good solution, my knowledge only ends here."
He Ran curled his lips and snorted, "You can defeat Shunguo first, and you don't have to worry about taking Sanchuan." As he said this, his eyes showed a bit of cunning light, "Maybe Zhao Guo and Kang Guo are in a mess.
It is impossible to defend Sanchuan at this time, so we can just use our horses and whips to capture it."
Seeing him like that, Shi Lang found it really funny and struck: "You can really make yourself happy. Do you think Mo Ju can be that stupid?"
He Ran looked at him dissatisfied and said: "You are really boring, you only spoil other people's interest. I was just thinking of something happy and you just got a basin of cold water in my pocket. It's time for your son to be born. He's already given a name."
? I think I’ll just call it Shi Leng Shui.”
Speaking of the child who was due to be born, Shi Lang showed a happy smile on his face. He did not argue with him, but said sincerely: "Really, please give the child a name. Thanks to your help, Duo'er and I have
Let the child recognize you as his adoptive father."
He Ran showed a proud look without any politeness, "Just remember, you will never be able to repay this great kindness in your lifetime."
Tokiro couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the face of a villain who was trying to repay a favor.
"You should choose the name yourself. With my little knowledge, I can't think of anything good. If you really want to call me Leng Shui, your child won't necessarily hate me when he becomes sensible." He Ran was very self-aware.
"I sincerely ask you to give the child a name. We can't force it if you don't appreciate it. If you haven't decided yet when the child is born, then we can think of it ourselves."
"Okay, okay, I've got your wish. It's better for you to get it yourself. Okay, I'll go to the Supervision Department and then go to other yamen to have a look. You can continue to plan the matter of defeating Shun. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
I can’t stay here for a few days.”
Shi Lang frowned and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to hide from Mo Ju's messenger last time and go back so soon?"
He Ran pretended to have a profound smile and said: "I have already decided where to go. Even you can't tell me, and no one can find me."
Tokiro smiled bitterly and said, "You're fooling around again. What if something urgent happens and I can't find you? You have to tell me how to find you."
He Ranhun said nonchalantly: "What's the emergency? Besides, even if something big happens, you can still take the responsibility. I will return to Bell Ringing City in a month or two at most."
Tokiro said without compromise: "No, you must tell me. This is not a joke. If you cause trouble somewhere, I have an idea. At least you have to tell me an approximate location."
"Oh, you're worried about this. Don't worry, I'm going to a mountainous place, and I won't issue any military orders during this period." Seeing that Shilang was still frowning, He Ran had to say: "Okay, okay, let me tell you.
, I want to accompany the eldest princess back to Yueshan Villa to stay for a while, don’t worry."
Shi Lang smiled and said: "I see, then why should I worry? It's only half a day's journey from the royal city. You can live a pastoral life with peace of mind. I won't send anyone to disturb you unless there is something important."
He Ran said in a serious tone: "If you have important matters, don't come to me. Just leave it to me. I'll leave the gold seal for you." As he spoke, he took out the gold seal from his arms and placed it on several cases.
Shi Lang was so grateful for his trust that he felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly put the gold seal back into his hand, "This can't be done, I won't bother you."
He Ran once again placed the gold seal on several cases and said: "Conquering the country is not a simple matter. If you need to arrange for the mobilization of troops and horses in the near future, you can just take care of it. It will be more convenient for you to put the seal here. As a military advisor, I
I wish I could leave it to you, this is nothing."
Shilang glanced at him quietly before saying, "That's fine, I'll keep it for you temporarily. If it's needed, I'll send someone to inform you in time."
"No need to go to so much trouble, just tell me when I come back." He Ran said and stood up, "I'll go take a look around, you can think about your own business."
