When the generals in the camp heard about the arrival of the military advisor, they all came to pay homage. Of course, congratulatory praises were indispensable.
After everyone dispersed, He Ran asked Shilang: "Why can't you see Lin Yang alone? Could it be that he is not in the army?"
"He was not sent to fight, he should be in the army."
He Ran showed a smile on his lips and said: "That means you still have a grudge against me."
Shilang smiled and said: "I have explained to him the reason why you deliberately belittled him in the martial arts competition. However, this man has a strong temperament, and he may still feel a little unhappy at the moment. You have not gathered generals, and he is Xiang Xiang.
Even if the generals of the country do not come to pay homage, it will not be considered a fault." After saying this, he ordered others to spread the word.
He Ran stopped him and said, "If he doesn't come to see me, I will go see him. You take me to his tent."
Shilang advised: "How can he afford it if you leave? It's better to tell him to come."
He Ran insisted: "I must go and express my gratitude in person. He saved your life as if he had saved most of the country of Yi. Now, the country of Yi can continue to grow without me, but it will be terrible without you."
Tokiro glanced at him angrily and said, "Sooner or later I will be flattered to death by you. In order to make me work for you, you really do everything you can."
He Ran laughed and said, "It's boring to say that. I almost cried to death when I saw Chi Feng Fei Shu."
When he came to Linyang's tent, he held up the curtain and entered without waiting for the news.
Lin Yang was studying military books when he saw military advisors and ministers arriving hand in hand. He hurriedly got up to pay homage.
He Ran ordered: "Sit down where you are!"
Lin Yang lowered his hands and said: "How dare you sit down in front of the military advisor and the Prime Minister?"
"I told you to sit down, this is a military order."
Shilang gently pulled his sleeve to signal him not to overdo it, but He Ran completely ignored it.
Lin Yang had no choice but to sit back, and He Ran stepped forward and bowed in obeisance. Lin Yang was shocked and hurriedly got up and stepped aside, saying, "What do you mean, military advisor?"
He Ran walked over and took his hand and said, "You saved the Prime Minister just like you saved my life. You are well-deserved to receive this tribute."
Lin Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, military advisor. It is my duty to protect the prime minister."
"Sit down and talk." He Ran sat in the middle, and Shi Lang sat on the right to accompany him. Lin Yang did not dare to sit across from Xiang Ling, so he sat on the left side.
He Ran smiled and pointed to the seat in front of him and said, "This is a private gathering, no need to be formal. Sit closer so we can talk."
After Lin Yang thanked him and sat down, he asked with a smile: "I haven't asked the Prime Minister about the details yet. Please tell me, how did you find out that Bai Baibo was planning to attack the camp?"
Lin Yang did not want to give them the impression of asking for credit, so he said succinctly: "At that time, the general was ordered to attack Yuxun Pass, and he broke through it with one blow. It was easier than expected. After interrogating the soldiers, he learned that the garrison here was transferred the night before.
After leaving a thousand men, the general became suspicious. Yuxun Pass was an important pass. Logically, at this time, we should only increase the number of troops. There was absolutely no reason to withdraw troops. The general knew that Xiang Ling had no troops around him, so he thought more and more.
The more uneasy I became, I was afraid that the enemy would sneak attack on the rear, so I hurriedly arranged the defense of Yuxun Pass and then led the troops to receive the Prime Minister's order without hesitation. Fortunately, it was in time."
He Ran smiled and nodded: "He is indeed a talented general."
Lin Yang lowered his head and stared at the cases, fearing that the military advisor would see the complacency and dissatisfaction that could not be concealed on his face. He was still resentful of the Yi State military advisor's merciless suppression of him during the Wu Kui Competition.
"What is your ambition in life?" He Ran asked as if he didn't care.
Lin Yang raised his head and said proudly: "The final general has nothing but rudimentary martial arts. He is determined to be on the battlefield. Even if he cannot make any achievements, he should live up to this life."
The smile on He Ran's face gradually faded away, and she looked at him coldly and said, "Do you know that you have already caused a fatal disaster?"
Lin Yang didn't expect that he would fall out at once. He was so frightened that he quickly stood up and lowered his head and said, "Please give me some advice from your military advisor."
He Ran stared at him and said: "I thought you were a handsome man, but it seems I overestimated you. If you are really a knowledgeable person, you should retreat into seclusion after the Wu Kui Competition to save your life."
Because he heard from Shi Lang the reason why the military advisor had previously suppressed him, and now listening to what the military advisor said, Lin Yang seemed to understand something. He was filled with self-satisfied joy just now, but instantly turned into fear and despair.
He Ran continued: "I might as well make it clear to you. For the sake of changing the country, I will never allow talented people in Xiang State to be in charge of government and military. If you were really wise, you should have seen this clearly.
You would not have participated in the competition. The inferior ones should have discovered the mystery after being reprimanded by me and resolutely retreated into seclusion. However, you are stubborn and greedy for fame. It can be seen that the outstanding achievements of this expedition are exactly what you are asking for your life.
rope?"
Lin Yang was already breaking into a cold sweat at this moment. How could he not be afraid when the military advisor spoke so clearly? Thinking about it, it was true. He was really confused. He was convinced by the military advisor's criticism. He really didn't have a transcendent vision.
of handsome talent.
He Ran accepted it and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. If it weren't for Prime Minister Ling's praise for his talents, you would have been dead long ago, and you don't even know why you died."
Lin Yang bowed deeply to Shi Lang and said gratefully: "Thank you so much for saving my life." Then he bowed to He Ran and said: "Thank you so much for the military advisor for not killing. If the military advisor never abandons you, I am willing to serve under my command."
The work of dogs and horses.”
When the Xiang Kingdom was first established, the people still had no loyalty to Chen Min, so Lin Yang's move was reasonable.
He Ran smiled and helped him up, and said to Shi Lang: "As the saying goes, when a bird is old and a phoenix flies a long way, a virtuous person will be proud of himself. Look, after just saying a few words to me, his knowledge has improved a lot.
.”
Tokiro shook his head and ignored him, but he still agreed with his method of combining kindness and power.
He Ran turned to Lin Yang and said: "You should follow Xiang Ling from now on. Xiang Ling is tolerant and will not treat you badly. I will explain to King Xiang. From now on we will be brothers. You have made many military exploits in the battle of Fashun.
If you save the Prime Minister, I will wait until the Prime Minister writes a letter to ask for merit for you, and then I will ensure that you will not be inferior to the general."
Lin Yang was extremely grateful and devoted himself to Yi State from then on.
Returning to the Chinese army's tent, He Ran proposed to meet with King Fan.
Shilang frowned and said, "King Fan's army is in the southeast, still two to three hundred miles away. I can't let you go."
"I went around from the back, just to walk more distance." He Ran said looking at the geographical map.
Shi Lang did not allow discussion and said: "Wu Qiu's blood is still fresh, and I have borne in mind the taboo of generals not to take risks. If you want to go, you must release my military power now, otherwise don't expect my consent."
He Ran said with a smile: "I'm already here. It makes no sense not to go and take a look. Besides, we have an agreement with them first. Whoever conquers the city will own it. The area they occupy is not small. I have to use words to point it out.
Look, this sworn brother, you don’t know that people here are really honest and greedy when they take advantage.”
Tokiro was amused and said: "How can you say that about a sworn brother? Some time ago, I joined forces with King Fan to fight in the east. I thought he was an honest man. They also fought with swords and guns. It was impossible to talk about it.
Why do you want to take advantage of me? I think you are too greedy."
He Ran chuckled and said: "They are used to herding cattle and horses and living in pursuit of water and grass. How can they live in a city? They can't control the people of the Central Plains with their extensive set of decrees. I see, sooner or later they have to go back to the grassland. Give them so much
The city is also in ruins."
Tokiro said reproachfully: "Your character is really not that good. King Fan and his soldiers treat you sincerely. Every time they mention you, they praise you and express their admiration and gratitude. Knowing that it is difficult for them to manage Shunguo
People, you should help them. How can you hope that they will be driven back to the grassland? You and King Fan are brothers who changed horses. From now on, you will have to rely on Fan soldiers and cavalry to fight for hegemony in the world."
He Ran glanced at him and said, "It's true that one family helps the other family."
Shi Lang said dissatisfied: "You can't say such things. I do everything for the sake of Yi Guo, and I have a clear conscience."
He Ran snorted and said: "It's easy to say, help him? What do you want me to do to help? We don't have enough officials ourselves, how can we have any spare power to help them?"
Tokiro knew that what he said was the truth, and sighed: "We can only do our best. See if you can convince King Fan to implement the new policy in the area you occupy. That might be better."
He Ran slowly shook his head and said: "I also have this plan, but I don't think it's easy. Even if King Fan can agree, the people below will try their best to stop it. There are few who can support him. They are used to robbing.
Enslaving the people of the Central Plains cannot be changed overnight, so we can only do our best and send some of the officials who have been laid off first. These people are useless here, but they may be able to use their talents to King Fan."
Shilang agreed: "This is a good method. We can no longer use grassland decrees to govern the people of the Central Plains. It is an expedient measure to follow the old local government. You have to talk to King Fan about this."
"So, I have to see him no matter what."
Shilang nodded and said: "Then you can stay a little longer. I will immediately send an order to the Qing Dynasty. The Shun army to the east will not be interested in fighting if the royal city is surrounded. King Fan's army will be able to attack in a short time.
See you soon.”
He Ran looked at the geographical map and said, "Okay, have you planned how to attack the Qing Dynasty?"
Shilang smiled slightly and said, "If I hadn't wanted to give you this great gift, I would have gone into the army a few days ago."
He Ran smiled and said: "I understand. Let's raise the tent and send troops. I will go to the camp to see the soldiers."
Shilang no longer gave in, and ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals.
Five days later, armies from all walks of life wiped out the enemies on the outskirts of Kaiqing and surrounded the city of Kaiqing on three sides: east, west and south.
