When Fan Yao left, He Ran did not go to see him off as promised, but watched from a distance. Fan Yao noticed him, and before boarding the car, she stopped and glanced at him unabashedly. Use the reader to read Qian. Thousands of novels, completely advertisements!
Shortly after Fan Yu left, Dongfang Ao, who was inspecting the terrain, came back. His civilian clothes were torn to pieces. It was obvious that he had been working very hard these days.
He Ran saw that his left arm was bandaged and asked with concern: "What happened? Is it injured from a fall?"
Dongfang Ao stretched his injured arm and said: "I encountered an evil tiger and was caught during the fight. It was nothing serious. It was just that one of my followers was bitten. He fell to death due to inconvenience when he came back. This area The mountains are really steep, and some places can only be climbed alone, even if I want to help him."
He Ran patted his shoulder and asked, "What's the gain?" [
Dongfang Ao said with a hint of frustration: "There is no terrain to rely on, so we have to attack this city forcefully."
He Ran expressed his condolences for a few words, and then explained his intention to pile rocks to attack the city.
After hearing this, Dongfang Ao said: "If we want to reduce casualties, this is the only way. Slowness is a bit slow, but since you have the intention of forcing Zhao Min to increase his troops, being slow is a good thing."
"Then please invite the general to come over and discuss it." He Ran said and ordered people to invite Xu Tong.
Xu Tong had no better idea, so he decided on the strategy of stacking rocks to attack the city.
Although there is only one word difference between stacking rocks and stacking soil, the difficulty is not the same. If stacking soil, all the tools are available in the army, but stacking rocks will have to make new tools, although there are ready-made stones. Collect, but the quantity is far from enough. Excavation tools must be prepared. To transport soil, you only need sacks. To transport rocks, you need to use lifts and trucks. There are many related steps that need to be adjusted. Fortunately, Xu Tong and Dongfang Ao They all have knowledge and experience in this area, which saved He Ran a lot of worry. It didn't take long for the entire plan to be worked out, including the amount of stone, temporary storage site and other important aspects were considered in detail, and some details could be improved by the staff. .
After roughly getting the result, Xu Tong said to He Ran: "This is not a matter of one or two days. You don't need to worry about the rest. We can handle it enough. It is inconvenient for the eldest princess to live in the army for a long time. You still have to do it." Go and live in a nearby city."
Dongfang Ao also echoed: "Exactly, other generals don't dare to boast. They dare to guarantee this kind of thing in case of failure. Everyone knows that your Excellency shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but this time it is not good for the eldest princess to be wronged. , what the general said is absolutely true, sir, please take the eldest princess out of the camp as soon as possible."
He Ran smiled happily and said: "You guys are really sensible. I don't treat you as brothers for nothing. Okay, I won't pretend to resign. In fact, that's what I planned in my heart."
Xu Tong pointed at him and snorted disdainfully. Dongfang Ao didn't dare to be as casual as him, so he just smiled.
There are few people in the mountainous area, let alone decent cities. Xu Tong wanted them to go back more than 200 miles to live in a big city in this area. He Ran thought it was too far and refused, and finally chose a city a hundred miles away. Small mountain city----Lingxia City. The two of them had a dispute over this, and Dongfang Ao secretly envied the deep affection between the two.
There are less than a thousand residents in Lingxia City, and the stone walls are only ten feet long. However, such a small city is the most prosperous place in the mountainous area with a radius of hundreds of miles. Xu Tong was not worried about his safety and allocated 5,000 troops as guards. He Ran did not object.
There won't be many luxury houses in the small town, but this small courtyard with two front and back entrances still makes Xiaozhu very happy. This is a thousand times better than the marching camp.
After settling in, He Ran personally presided over the implementation of the New Deal here that day. Although it is located in a remote mountainous area, the people here still have not escaped the exploitation of heavy taxes and laborers. In addition, the land is scarce and there is no way to make money. Most of them are poor. .No one here has heard of Yi Guo's new policy. After listening to the announcement by the officials who took over the government some time ago, they are still half-convinced. They can't believe that such a good thing will happen in the world. Now, although I don't know who He Ran is, but based on the fact that he is stationed outside the city, With five thousand troops, it was not difficult to guess that this was a big shot. After his repeated assurances, the people began to be convinced. The look on everyone's face was as if they had just married a daughter-in-law, and the topic of conversation in the whole city was the New Deal.
There is a lingering fragrance in the hands of giving roses to others. Although He Ran has never cared much about benefiting all people, it is a worthwhile and happy thing to make everyone happy. Although he has experienced this kind of happiness many times, but every time he sees it Looking at the excited faces of the simple people, he will still be very happy.
Returning to his new mansion, he entered the back house and saw a long crystal ice pick hanging under the eaves. He jumped hard and broke off a section. He talked too much outside and was very thirsty at this time. This ice pick was refreshing and quenched his thirst. It was a delicacy. He just stood there and started chewing it until he ate it, not to mention the refreshing feeling.
The first thing Su Xiyao did when she got here was to take a bath. At this time, she just came back from the bathroom. After looking at it, she couldn't help but scolded: "It's a cold day, aren't you afraid of getting cold? Stop eating." , really like a child!”
The little maid who followed saw the eldest princess reprimanding the military advisor, so she smiled and avoided it.
He Ran swallowed the crushed ice in his mouth, exhaled comfortably, and said with a smile: "It feels good! I'm thirsty. There are so many taboos at my age. You should also take a sip. You must be thirsty just after taking a bath." [
Su Xiyao looked at the ice pick he handed over and smiled. She opened her mouth and bit a little, but she didn't chew it like he did, but held it in her mouth.
Suddenly a drop of water happened to fall into He Ran's neck. He shuddered and looked up. It was a drop of melted water from the hanging ice pick. He walked away, bit another piece of ice, and pointed at the warm sun in the sky. He said vaguely: "It's getting warmer, and this winter is over again."
Su Xiyao took the ice pick from his hand, threw it aside, and said angrily: "Just eat a little, why do you still eat it without finishing it?"
He Ran looked at her with his eyes wide open, his mouth open, and his body motionless, as if he was surprised and shocked.
Su Xiyao was amused by his weird expression and thought he was playing with her, so she spat: "If you go in and out of the house with a weird look, it will be embarrassing for others to see you." Then she pulled him into the house. , but after pulling twice but nothing happened, seeing that the look on his face still remained, Su Xiyao realized that he was not joking with her. She followed his eyes and saw nothing strange, so she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, He Ran raised his head and looked at the row of hanging ice picks, with a look of joy on his face.
Because he was sent by the "god", Su Xiyao and others were most afraid that he would suddenly have a strange expression, lest the "god" come to see him again. At this moment, Su Xiyao was really scared, and grabbed his arm and looked at him nervously. Hold him.
He Ran pointed at the ice pick and said, "Okay! This may be a way."
"What did you say?" Su Xiyao asked nervously.
"Why are you grabbing me so hard?" He Ran felt pain.
Seeing that his expression had recovered, Su Xiyao loosened her grip, frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? It's scary."
He Ran said excitedly: "A plan to destroy the city! I have come up with a plan to destroy the city. If it doesn't work, I have to go back to the military camp."
