He Ran did not tell the guards about the deeper meaning of asking the envoy to take the silk strip to ask King Zhao. He also had the intention of using this to sow discord between Shun and Zhao. At the same time, he also hit Zhao Min: you want to marry a foreign country.
Whether it is true or not, we have this doubt, Zhao Guo, please be careful when doing things.
Although he could not determine the origin of the silk strip, He Ran was convinced that the information on the silk strip was absolutely true. Considering Zhao Min's various performances when he was on a mission to Dingyang, he had roughly guessed the marriage between Zhao Min and Jing Hui at this moment.
Planning, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Whether it was Zhao Min or Jing Huan who came up with this idea, the Zhao Kingdom's monarchs and ministers were so quick to respond and the cleverness of the countermeasures made him frightened. If such monarchs and ministers were allowed to
How can the princes of the world still have a good life if they take it easy?
Looking at the situation of all parties, Xiping has been exhausted after a long war, Kang's treacherous party has disrupted the government, Lin's country has not yet become a phenomenon, Liu's country and Zhao's are like the same family, Shuo's country is not worth mentioning at all, and it can cause trouble for Zhao in the near future.
The only ones left are Zhao Kun, Shun Guo, Fan Bang and Yi Guo. Although Shun Guo has enmity with Zhao Guo, it has a greater enmity with Yi Guo. This time it must give it a hard blow. It seems that Fan Bang is also
We can't have too much hope. Zhao Kun has been suppressed to death and can hardly do anything big. He Ran feels that the burden on Yi Guo's shoulders is getting heavier and heavier. If some troubles are not stirred up, the situation in the world will continue to develop like this.
, then the day of Zhao’s revival is right around the corner.
He returned to the inner courtyard and did not enter the house. Instead, he sat down quietly in the pavilion in the back garden, looking at the gorgeous sunset on the horizon and pondering for a long time. He did not go back to eat until nightfall when Mrs. Nuanyu came to find her in person.
After dinner, Mrs. Nuanyu sat across from him and put the tea cup in his hand. She said with a smile on her face, "You really looked like a military advisor when you were sitting quietly thinking about things just now. I secretly watched you several times.
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that someone as restless as a monkey could sit still for so long.”
"Are you fascinated by the demeanor of my military advisor?" He Ran asked proudly.
Mrs. Nuanyu closed her beautiful eyes and recalled his appearance at that time, and said with a smile: "I was really fascinated. He was as calm as a mountain, making people feel as if he was really important..." At this point, she opened her eyes.
He opened his eyes and the smile slowly faded from his face, "But I don't like how you look like that."
He Ran was shaking his head, waiting for her to continue boasting. He didn't want to wait until she said this, and said in frustration: "What's the point of this?"
"Seeing you laughing and joking, I can immerse myself in the dream that I have imagined. It seems that we are living in a peaceful and prosperous age. We play happily and have no troubles. Although you looked like a military advisor just now, you can
It fascinates me, but it also makes me wake up and have to think about the troubled world, so I don’t like it.”
"It turns out that a person as knowledgeable as my sister can also deceive herself and make up dreams. I only acted like this when I was a little girl." He Ran said with a smile.
"How can a woman not daydream, especially when her heart belongs to someone? Now I am full of ambition and naturally hope to be able to do this forever."
He Ran grabbed her jade hand and said: "I will let my sister live a happy life. After a few more years of hard work, the country of Yi will be able to compete with all the forces. When the time comes, Shilang and the others will make plans to ensure that
It is no problem for the Yi State to have a hundred years of good fortune. These hundred years are enough for us to enjoy this life. We can just live happily in the Cangxian Valley and ignore the troubles of the world."
"Yes!" Mrs. Nuanyu held his hand tightly and looked at him lovingly.
As the war approached, more and more matters were reported to be dealt with by all parties. Although He Ran was only a military advisor, he was the initiator of the New Deal. In addition, he was the entrusted minister, so military affairs from various places and some difficult government affairs were submitted to him.
here.
Mrs. Nuanyu saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, and advised: "Bring Yin'er here, let her help you handle the government affairs."
He Ran said seriously: "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me pick them up? This little thing is nothing, I can handle it. If I can't meet my sister's request, wouldn't I be ashamed of my sister?"
"Okay, okay, I know you are sincere. I take back what I said and answer the question."
He Ran insisted: "It's really not necessary. I'm happy to be a little tired for you."
What can Mrs. Nuanyu say besides being moved? She can only repay her with more tenderness.
On this day, Zhao Min's secret envoy came to see him and He Ran summoned him to meet him in the inner hall.
The visitor was a courtier of Zhao Min. He Ran went to Dingyang to meet him this time.
He Ran read Zhao Min's letter and asked without any expression: "Yesterday, the person sent by King Zhao to report the news to me said that the expedition would be successful on the third day of next month ten days later. Why did the letter also say that we should send troops immediately?
The courtier said: "To be honest with the military advisor, the king asked the villain to inform the military advisor. Shun Ren may have detected that we were gathering troops. In order not to give Shun Ren too much time to prepare, the king decided to start the war immediately. Although we are still there,
It’s not completely ready, but it’s almost done, and we can start the war.”
"Oh..." He Ran swayed slightly and thought for a while, then said: "Go back to the king and say that our side was considering that premature mobilization of troops would be noticed by others, so the mainland army just started to attack
The border has been moved. It is not possible to launch an attack immediately. Please don't worry, Your Majesty. Since the people of Shun have noticed it, simply stop mobilizing troops and horses to keep the people of Shun safe. As previously agreed, we will attack first on the third day of next month. Then you will
Then quickly mobilize the army to launch a fierce attack."
The courtier was a little hesitant, wondering why: "The king has given orders to the villain, and no matter what, he must ask the military adviser to send troops immediately on behalf of the king. If there is any delay, he will have to strengthen his defense."
He Ran waved his hand and said: "We really haven't mobilized enough troops yet. Attacking with just a few troops at the border will not only be ineffective but also do bad things. You don't have to worry. You won't be blamed for conveying my words to your Majesty. Your Majesty will understand.
This is the truth.”
The courtier reluctantly agreed.
He Ran warned: "Please pay my respects to the king for me and say that the reason why Yi State is willing to start a war to attract Shun State's heavy troops is entirely for the sake of destroying Shun State. Please ask the king to mobilize the troops as quickly as possible on the third day of the next month.
We have to launch an attack on the sixth day of the lunar month no matter what. If it is later, we will be in danger of being surrounded by Shun soldiers. At that time, we have to withdraw our troops first, so please put the overall situation first and don't let the plan of conquering Shun come to nothing."
The courtier kept it in mind and mentioned the matter of the silk note again: "Your Majesty is very angry at Shun Ren's attempt to sow discord between Zhao and Yi. The things written on the silk note are all rumors. Please don't have any doubts."
He Ran laughed and said: "I have long seen that this is a smart move by Shunren. They also don't think about it. Zhao and Yi are sincerely on good terms. Even if Zhao Guozhen marries Fan Bang, the whole country of Yi will only do it for them."
King Zhao is happy, I will go to the king to ask for a wedding drink then."
The courtier smiled and said, "What the military advisor said is true!"
Knowing that Zhao Min would not believe these nonsense, but such words are indispensable in such a situation, He Ran smiled as he looked at the courtier's leaving figure.
