After Su Xiyao came to pay homage to Duke Tianhe, the coffin was shipped back to his hometown. At this time, the Zhao army in Qulan City also opened the city gate and surrendered. The isolated city was difficult to defend, and his family members had all fallen into the hands of the Yi army. Where could he return?
What fighting spirit do you have?
A total of nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers were collected this time, including more than 4,000 soldiers from the Jin family. The old master and the young master died in frustration one after another. Most of these soldiers already hated King Zhao to the bone, but due to Tianhe Gong's order not to fight back, they had to force
Enduring his grief and anger, He Ran asked the generals to consult the wishes of his disciples. If more than a thousand people were willing to return home, he sent them to escort the coffin back to the fiefdom. The rest all claimed that they were willing to follow the military advisor, and He Ran sent these more than 3,000 people to Lin.
Sichuan went to support Chuan Tong Yu Li Yong, and the exchange of information was not easy. He Ran didn't know what the situation was there now. Since he had these extra children of the Jin family on hand, he just sent them "" Updated fastest full text hand type
For the five or six thousand Zhao troops, He Ran ordered to select two thousand strong and capable warriors to be added to the army, and the rest were escorted back to the country for temporary labor service. They were promised a period of five years, whether in the army or in labor service.
Those who join the army can stay or leave at will, and all those who serve in labor are deported. Until now, these people already know that the fall of Zhao is only a matter of time. They have been captured, and they are lucky not to lose their heads. They are fed as soldiers and are treated as such in the Yi army.
On the contrary, it was better than before. The military counselor also promised that in the future, everyone in the family would be able to have their own lives, so everyone was happy. They competed for the two thousand places to join the army and captured all the soldiers who were demoted along the way. Therefore, the army has been fighting until now.
The number of people has not decreased but increased "" See the latest chapter
This group of troops is under the control of Bai Jun's brother Bai Xiang. The Bai brothers are all good at strategy and have both wisdom and courage. His brother aims at hearing and reaching, while his brother aims at the mountains. Although He Ran tried his best to lobby, Bai Jun still wanted to serve.
His parents politely declined the offer and refused to accept the gifts. In desperation, He Ran had to send him out of the camp in person to show his respect.
Although they can't wait to join forces with Su Ming, the army has been fighting for many months and must rest for a few more days.[
Most of the time when the generals are relaxed, they are when the military advisors are busy. After He Ran guarded the spirit for three days, he immediately called Xun Gu to ask about Zhao Jun's military situation. Xun Gu was a lieutenant general who was rewarded by Duke Tianhe.
There was nothing he didn't know about Zhao Jun's defense in this area. First of all, he presented the official geographical maps and other information owned by Tianhe Gong, and explained in detail where Zhao Jun had garrisoned troops, where to store grain, and where.
There are food roads everywhere, and it is easy to set up ambushes everywhere... Anyway, let's put it this way, most of what He Ran wants to know, he can answer in detail, and he can also give a half-dozen points on the slightly vague ones.
All the generals were smiling happily as they listened. You must know that in that era, the investigation methods were extremely limited. It was extremely rare to be able to roughly estimate how many soldiers and horses the opponent had, and it was not less than one or two times. Xun Gu seemed to have opened a pair of eyes for Yi Jun.
, this advantage is huge
Qulanguan is the gateway to the new capital of Zhao State. The reserves of grain, grass and military supplies are enough to supply the Yi army for more than half a year. This will shorten the food route for future wars. Half a year is enough to capture Jingqu City.
Soon, the march plan was formulated. Less than three hundred miles to the northwest was Jingqu City, and more than two hundred miles to the northeast was Baiyankou where Su Ming's people were blocked. It was originally planned to go to meet Su Ming first.
, but Xungu said that after breaking through Qulanguan and heading towards Jingqu, there would be no defense. On the contrary, the terrain towards Baiyankou was steep and there were several dangers that needed to be overcome. After discussion, everyone felt that it would be better to directly attack Jingqu.
On the one hand, the royal city is under attack, and the defenders everywhere must be excited. On the other hand, in order to meet the urgent need, Zhao Yao and Huai Yingzi are returning to support. According to Xun Gu, there are no more troops to mobilize near Jingqu.
Under the heavy pressure of the Kangguo army, not a single soldier there dared to withdraw. This not only relieved the pressure on Su Ming's side, but also allowed them to attack Jingqu openly and secretly set up ambushes on the way.
Annihilate the reinforcements coming from Baiyankou
Knowing one's enemy and knowing one's friends will lead to victory in a hundred battles. With the quick information, the battle started with a bright mind. He marched directly into the dangerous Jingqu City with 30,000 troops. Before this, He Ran would not have dared to act so rashly, no matter how courageous he was.
Now I feel a bit scared
Su Xiyao returned to the temporary mansion that day and was concentrating on reading a scroll of silk books on the desk. When He Ran came in, she didn't even raise her eyelids. His boss said unhappily: "What are you looking at? What's there?"
It’s good-looking. Could it be that it’s prettier than me? Stop looking and let me tell you something.”
Su Xiyao still said absently without raising her head: "Tell me"
He Ran casually put the silk book aside, and before he could say anything, Su Xiyao exclaimed, examined the silk book distressedly, and said angrily: "What are you doing! Do you know what kind of book this is?"
He Ran snorted angrily: "I don't care what kind of book it is."
Seeing him like that, Su Xiyao understood why he was angry. She couldn't help but smile, poked his forehead with her jade finger, and said with a smile: "No different from a child!"
He Ran glanced at the silk fabric with lingering anger, and said: "No matter what it is, it is not a good thing that makes you distracted from me. I advise you to put it away immediately, otherwise it will be forgotten."
It is a heavenly book, and I can burn it too.”
"Looking at your fierce look, I'll just take it away, okay?" Su Xiyao complained, but her heart was full of sweetness. She carefully put the silk book in the book box, and then made an exaggerated expression of concentration.
Looking at him with an expression, "If you want to say something to me, I will listen with all my heart."
Only then did He Ran smile, and said with his eyes: "The battle is about to reach Jingqu, and I can no longer stay in the rear, because although the defeat of Zhao is said to be fighting for the country, the capture of Dongchuan and Linchuan is actually just that.
Enough is enough, we must destroy Zhao. It can be said that we are following the trend, but... after all, there is a reason to avenge my brother and sister-in-law. I can't just let my brothers charge into the battle." He is such a person, with a high position and authority.
It’s hard to escape the blood and loyalty deeply rooted in our bones
Su Xiyao's beautiful eyebrows frowned, waiting for him to continue.
"The next step is to fight on the plains. It is inevitable to point east and west and gallop. This is different from attacking in mountainous areas. It is possible to travel hundreds or even two hundred miles a day. You cannot bear this kind of suffering, so
..." He said this and stepped back, his eyes full of reluctance and helplessness.
They were about to be separated again. Su Xiyao's mood suddenly dropped. After a while, she said: "Your illness has recovered, and I don't need it anymore. But my other priority here is to watch you and not allow you to go."
Charge into battle"
He Ran hurriedly said: "Don't worry, even though I said that, I won't run too far forward. I will always stay in the Chinese Army."
Su Xiyao said worriedly: "How can anyone rest assured with your temperament? You should think more that destroying Zhao is to expand the territory for the country, and to follow the imperial edict to defeat thieves. Don't just think that your brothers are helping you to avenge you."
"I know, I know, didn't I just say the same thing?"[
Su Xiyao said quietly: "I used to always talk about the eyes of a sword and a gun, but now that I have arrived at the military camp and seen the battlefield, I have a personal experience. I am really chilling in my heart. After this battle, can you really stop fighting?
"
He Ran said with a relaxed face: "Of course, Shi Lang has sworn not to conquer Zhao. If Zhao is destroyed, he will have nothing to worry about. He can just leave the rest to him. After conquering such a vast area, no one will dare to do it again."
It’s easy to start a war with us.”
Su Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll wait for you here. Let's go back together after defeating Jingqu."
He Ran immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, Qulanguan is an important place that we and the enemy must fight for. I can't feel at ease with you here."
"I'm right here. If Qulanguan is lost, your way back will be cut off." Su Xiyao said very calmly, but her eyes showed determination.
He Ran said half-jokingly: "Taking a step back, if Qulanguan is really lost, it will be difficult to attack Jingqu. I can still lead my troops back from Su Ming, which is also blocked. I can still do it."
I'm going to stay in my country for the time being. My life is in danger. If you want to die for love, you have to wait for the definite news."
Su Xiyao glanced at him angrily, bit her lips worriedly and said nothing.
"Go back with peace of mind. Zhao Guo has fought back. I will be able to return to the imperial court in two or three months at the latest."
"It would be great if Xiao'er could follow us." Su Xiyao had witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield with her own eyes, and it was hard to let go of her heart.
"Forget about her. If she really comes, it will be my turn to worry about her. She really charges into battle, and her uniform will be stained with blood every time."
Su Xiyao was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "When I go back, you can fight with peace of mind. I won't tell you anything else. You just remember that you and I share the same fate. If you really love me, take care of yourself."
