Seeing the military advisor's attitude, Sun Zhi's heart pounded.
After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but said: "If we can conquer Qulanguan in one fell swoop, it would be a great benefit to our army. In view of the urgent situation, I am afraid of missing the opportunity, so I suggest that the general agree to his request... …”
Hearing this, He Ranxu's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at him and asking: "Have you let Bai Jun enter?"
Sun Zhi could not help but tremble secretly under the gaze of the military advisor, and immediately responded: "Yes, I am thinking, if this Bai Jun is here to delay the attack, then the Zhao army in the pass must have already known that we flooded Qulan City. For his plan, it is crucial to send him into the pass or not. Moreover, he only asked for half a day and would not prevent us from releasing the water at midnight, so..."
He Ran's eyes turned peaceful and said: "He must have promised to show off at midnight." [
Sun Zhidao said: "Yes." He understood the military advisor's concerns, and then said, "The lower official considered that this might be a trick to lure the enemy. The general also thought of this and asked me to inform the military advisor, and he will formulate a comprehensive response. The strategy is not to lead a large army to attack Qulanguan rashly. The first batch of troops will send out at most 500 elites to respond, and then act according to the opportunity. If it is really a trap, immediately use the fire signal to notify everyone to release water."
He Ran was silent for a while with his eyes lowered without any expression, then he stood up and walked forward, looked at the deep starry sky, sat back behind the desk again, and said slowly: "If it were me, I would do the same. You act normally and you do well."
Hearing the military advisor's praise, Sun Zhixuan's heart finally fell and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He Ran continued: "With the general in charge, nothing will go wrong. The temptation to conquer Qulanguan in one fell swoop is indeed too great. Even if it is really a trap, losing these five hundred elites is still worth the gamble." .”
Sun Zhishen felt the same and said: "Exactly! The lower official feels that this is a golden opportunity, so he dares to advise the general to act decisively."
"Okay, you've worked hard all the way, let's go down and have a good rest." He Ran said with a look of approval on his face.
Sun Zhi stood up and saluted: "The strategy was proposed by the official. Even if he rushes back now, he will not be able to catch up with the battle. However, the official does not dare to slack off. Moreover, he is too worried to rest. Please allow the military advisor to return to the camp immediately. Regardless of the victory of the war, Even if you lose, all the lower officials should try their best to assist the general in dealing with the aftermath."
He Ran walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "It's rare for you to be so dedicated to your duty. If I take down Qulan Pass this time, I will remember your great contribution. Okay, then you can go back. It's difficult to travel at night." OK, be more careful."
Sun Zhi thanked him and left in a hurry.
He Ran's mood couldn't be calmed for a while. It was a mixture of happiness and sorrow. Needless to say why he was happy, but the worries really made him secretly afraid. What he was worried about was that Xu Tong made a misjudgment when approaching the enemy. If he only lost 500 elite troops, he would be heartbroken. Gui feels distressed, but as just said, this is worth the gamble. If Xu Tong misjudges the enemy's situation after the five hundred people rush into the pass, and then invests more troops, the consequences will be difficult to say. Late at night Under the attack of soldiers and horses from Qulanguan and Qulancheng, chaos in the army is inevitable, and there may even be a risk of annihilation of the entire army. Although he does not doubt Xu Tong's talent, he sincerely I hope it is Xiao Xiao who is in charge of the overall situation at this moment, even if it is Wang Jin and Mi Han, two generals who are good at night fighting, then he doesn't have to worry so much.
Xu Tong will definitely send a team of troops to monitor the enemy forces in Qulan City, right? Thinking of this question, He Ran shook his head slightly, secretly blaming himself for worrying too much. If Xu Tong could not even think of this, he would not survive long ago. Now.
Is what Bai Jun said true? He frowned and walked slowly in the lobby. When he reached the door, he called Zhong Zong in and ordered: "Send some people immediately to find out if there is a Qulan Pass." The families of the generals who defended Qulan City live in the city, and nearby villages must also be searched carefully, and any news reported immediately."
Although it is a little late to inquire about the news now, if I can find out the real information, it may buy me more time to think in order to formulate the next countermeasures. There are hundreds of miles of mountain road separated from the military camp, and the news needs to be sent over there. It took a lot of time to come, and now even an extra half moment is extremely valuable.
After dispatching Zhong Zong, he also ordered the guards stationed outside the city to rest on Gedadan and raise the alert level to night fighting.
After arranging the relevant matters, he walked slowly into the inner house. Inside, Xiao Lai was talking to Su Xiyao and Xiao Zhu. Seeing that he was back, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Lai shut their mouths.
Su Xiyao asked: "Did something happen? I've been gone for so long."
He Ran pretended to be relaxed and said: "Everything is going according to the previous plan, nothing happened."
"That's good." Xiao Lai eagerly handed over the hot tea. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "I've heard for a long time that the sachets in Wuling are the best. Wuling seems to be nearby, right?"
Xiaozhu said: "It's been a long time ago. I only remembered this after I came here. When I asked, I found out that we were hundreds of miles away. However, when the march was closest, it was more than 200 miles away from Wuling." [
Xiao Lai let out a sigh of disappointment and said, "I still want to take a few back to them."
Xiaozhu said: "Although the sachets from Wuling are not available, I bought a dozen purple wood combs from Huangzhen just to bring them to you."
"That's great! I just feel like the comb I'm using now isn't comfortable. Dear sister, please give me one." Xiao Lai said with joy.
Xiao Zhu took out a few wooden combs from the box and let Xiao Lai choose. The two talked and laughed very intimately.
He Ran sat without saying a word. At this moment, he whispered to Su Xiyao: "There may be fighting ahead tonight. I have to go to the lobby to sit in and listen to the battle reports from the front at any time. I won't be back tonight."
Su Xiyao frowned slightly, and finally held back the words in her heart, and just whispered: "It's still cold in the spring night, dress warmly, don't get cold." After saying that, she wanted to tell Xiaozhu to prepare clothes.
He Ran waved his hand to stop her, took a large cloak himself, and then walked out.
Xiao Lai saw it and asked hurriedly: "Where are you going? I'll go with you."
He Ran smiled and said: "No need, you don't have time to pay attention to me, it's boring, I'm going to check the camp, you have a rest early, don't forget about the beauty of the comb, you have been traveling for many days."
Xiao Lai waved the comb in his hand and laughed, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! No wonder the young lady always said that I am a difficult person to deal with. When I saw you, I was so happy that I forgot everything. Those who escorted me here What? I even forgot to send someone back to report to the lady that she is safe. I still need to report to the lady the things I told you."
He Ran gloated: "Is it difficult to admit that I am a big deal? Fortunately, your lady is so smart, how could she bring up such a confused maid like you."
Xiao Lai was not in the mood to argue with him, and asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, where is my person?"
He Ran walked out and said, "Just rest in peace. I have already sent someone back to report the news. How dare I bother young lady Xiaolai with such a small matter?"
Xiao Lai was relieved and chased out the door, laughing and saying: "Thank you very much, I will let you belittle you this time and I won't care."
