Su Xiyao was an elegant person and rarely insisted on anything, but once she made up her mind, she would not allow others to change her mind. He Ran knew this very well, so after two attempts, he had to compromise and agreed to take her with him on the expedition.
Before leaving, he stayed in Mrs. Nuanyu's room. After the love, Mrs. Nuanyu said without any resentment: "If I knew that I would go out with you after making a fuss, I would have made a fuss long ago."
He Ran smiled and said: "She's not making trouble, she just doesn't trust me."
"Do I feel at ease? You are just partial. If I go with you, you will definitely not agree." Mrs. Nuanyu said angrily.
"Okay, okay, she alone is enough for me to keep busy. It's not that I'm partial, it's that you are reasonable." He Ran said softly and said kind words.[
"Are you saying she is unreasonable?" Mrs. Nuanyu looked at him sideways.
He Ran didn't dare to say anything to coax the child in front of her, and said: "Well, everyone has their own way of saying this. The way you love me is that you would rather endure the suffering yourself than cause me any trouble. She loves me so much." The way is to suffer the pain together. So the more you obey me, the more you love me, and the more she makes me care, the more you love me."
Mrs. Nuanyu was very satisfied with his answer and asked with charming eyes: "Then which one do you think is better?"
"There is no distinction between superior and inferior. Love is equally true. To say which way I like it..." He Ran pondered for a moment deliberately, "Sometimes I like her kind of way, and sometimes I like you kind of way. I don't know for sure."
Mrs. Nuanyu bit him and laughed, "Slippery!"
He Ran hugged her seductive body and said: "I'm telling the truth. I often secretly sigh that God has been so kind to me. How could I, He Ran, be so virtuous and capable that you, the peerless beauties like you fairies, fall in love with me?" , it’s really hard to go even if you’re a god.”
Mrs. Nuanyu leaned against him in ecstasy and said, "I will pester you for the rest of my life. I just like you."
He Ran hugged her hard.
Mrs. Nuanyu said in a charming manner: "This time doesn't count. You have to hug me before I leave tomorrow."
Early the next morning, He Ran hugged her before leaving the house. Mrs. Nuanyu closed her eyes and let him hug her for a while. Then she stood on tiptoes and gave him a kiss. She walked hand in hand to the door. She showed a sweet smile. He gave him a gentle hand and said: "Go, capture Zhao Min and come back early. I will take Cha'er and the others back to Zangxian Valley in a while. I am coaxing Chang'er there. You don't have to worry about it. I won't go and deliver it." You are."
When they arrived at Su Xiyao's courtyard, the place was ready. In addition to Xiaozhu, they were accompanied by two well-behaved maids selected from the mansion, Mingqin Chaduo, Lu Sheng'er and others to send them out of the mansion. Su Pingjiang led a group of people. All the officials prepared wine for them outside the city to have a good time.
After bidding farewell to everyone, He Ran led two thousand disciples of Zangxian Valley and embarked on the journey.
Originally, a carriage and horses were prepared for Su Xiyao, but she insisted on riding a horse and wanted to practice more, so He Ran had no choice but to obey her. With her following, he couldn't even hurry up. He also had to plan the itinerary and try to stay overnight. In the town, Su Xiyao didn't care whether He Ran was in a hurry or not, as long as he could keep his body from being strained.
These two thousand men and horses are the most elite troops in the Yi Kingdom. Each man is equipped with two war horses and one pack horse. They can easily travel a hundred miles a day. During the attack, they can reach two to three hundred miles a day and night. The journey to the front enemy is less than a thousand miles. He Ranben The plan was to finish the journey in seven days, but this time it took more than twenty days. Even so, Su Xiyao was still a little overwhelmed. She was already haggard when she arrived at Yi Jun's camp. Walking fifty miles in one day is nothing, but she can't stop. Going for more than twenty days in a row is another matter.
Xu Tong had received the news early and prepared a comfortable camp for the military advisor and the eldest princess. After settling in, he couldn't wait to ask about the enemy's situation.
Xu Tong pulled him out of the camp, climbed to a high ground and pointed to a large city in front of him: "That is Muyu City. It is surrounded by Qingyun Mountain in the south and mountains stretching for hundreds of miles fifty miles away in the north. If we don't uproot this city The Chuezi grain road could be cut off at any time. It was originally an important town and was guarded by 4,000 people. After hearing that we were sending troops, Fan Bo brought another 5,000 people to guard the area. I didn't take it seriously after getting the report. I didn't want to go back to Linchuan again. Thirty thousand troops came and set up two strongholds outside the city. Although these people were not elite soldiers, they fought very hard. I attacked several times but failed."
He Ran raised his eyes and looked at it for a while, then said: "Where is Dongfang Ao?"
Xu Tong replied: "In the front army."
"Okay, you can sit and guard the central army. I'll go to the front and ask him to accompany me to inspect the enemy camp."[
Xu Tong advised: "We have been tired all the way, and you have just recovered from a serious illness. You are not in a hurry. You can take a rest and go tomorrow."
He Ran snorted and said: "Walking fifty miles a day, what's the fatigue? I'm so anxious these days that I'm on fire. When I leave, you and the eldest princess report back and say that I will go to various camps to express condolences to the soldiers." Go and come back tomorrow."
"You can tell it yourself." Xu Tong smiled and wanted to take off. Although deceiving the eldest princess was not a big deal with his support, it might be better to hide.
He Ran said angrily: "If she can agree to it happily, why bother you? Don't talk nonsense, she won't scold you."
Xu Tongnai clenched his teeth and said: "Okay, okay, but I have something to say first. You should stay away from the enemy camp and check. Don't take risks. If something happens, I will be in trouble."
He Ran curled his lips and said: "I have fought as many battles as you, how come you have become like a woman?"
Xu Tong smiled and said: "It has been such a long time, but it seems that we have never been in battle together. I have never seen you when you are so majestic. I always think of you as a slippery-tongued and weak scholar. Okay, I don't Thank you for your advice, go ahead."
Arriving at the vanguard camp twenty miles away, Dongfang Ao heard the news and came out to greet him. He couldn't help showing excitement when he saw the military advisor.
He Ran smiled and said: "Uncle Anshun, this period has been very hard. I just finished conquering Shun and came to attack Zhao before I had any rest. Don't you feel resentful in your heart?" After the defeat of Shun, generals such as Dongfang Ao and Wang Jin were all praised for their military exploits. He was made an earl, so he was called that.
Dongfang Ao smiled happily and said: "As soon as a military advisor meets, he makes fun of the general. The most satisfying thing about being under a military advisor is that you are happy and willing to die even if you are tired. Besides, it is a pleasure to fight with the military advisor, so there is no resentment at all." ?" He said with a look of shame on his face, "This time I have failed the military commander's high hopes. I will not be able to defeat the general for a long time..."
He Ran waved his hand and said: "Forty thousand siege troops versus 40,000 defenders. It is understandable that this battle is not going well. If there is somewhere nearby where we can easily check the enemy camp, you can take me there."
Dongfang Ao pointed to a hill a few miles away and said, "Climb this hill to see the enemy camp to the north."
After checking the enemy camp to the north, He Ran frowned and asked, "How does the other camp compare?"
Dongfang Ao replied: "Forty miles to the south, it is nestled against the mountains and is very heavily defended. I once wanted to check it out, but could not get close. According to the captured prisoners, there are about 20,000 people there. "
He Ran said: "This northern camp is well organized. The person leading the troops is not just an ordinary person?"
"It's the frontier general Zheng Yi, a famous general in Linchuan. I still don't know who the leader of Nanying is. Maybe he was led by Linchuan Hou Yitang himself."
He Ran nodded slightly and looked at the enemy camp several miles away without speaking.
Dongfang Ao reminded: "This place is not safe. If the enemy discovers it, they may send troops to fight. The military advisor cannot stay for a long time. Go back first."
He Ran nodded again and ordered to return to camp.
