He Ran came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, it's good news. Shi Lang defeated the armies of Ningjiang Marquis and Fu Yanbo. The Korean Duke's forces were almost eliminated. He started to fight towards Gunlong River.
.”
Mrs. Nuanyu looked at him with concern and said, "Why are you looking like this since it's good news? Since yesterday, your expression has been a bit like before the war. Are you worried about something?"
He Ran nodded and said: "There is something that makes me uneasy. The news from Dongfang Ao should have been sent back the day before yesterday, but as of today, the letter has not been sent. As soon as I learned that the Ax Duan Gorge was captured, I immediately sent a letter
The news has been passed to him, and he should have withdrawn his troops and returned to the defense long ago."
"Did he forget to send you a letter? You can just send the letter to ask if he can."
He Ran smiled and said: "It's impossible for him to forget this kind of thing. Generals who go into battle will report in time before and after important operations. Otherwise, how can I make arrangements as needed? I sent a message yesterday to ask. I'm really worried.
, even if Zhao Guo hasn’t received the news from the Ax Duan Gorge, it’s almost time to slow down the offensive. What I’m most worried about is..."
As soon as He Ran said this, Xi Qun reported again at the door: "Military advisor, we have an urgent report."
"Send it in!" He Ran's face calmed down.
Xi Qun walked in, put the secret report on several cases, and left.
He Ran opened it and his eyes widened immediately. Mrs. Nuanyu saw a look of horror on his face. He had rarely seen He Ran show such an expression. She couldn't help but move closer to read the note.
He exclaimed: "Baihe Bay has been lost?! The Shun Army is really coming?!"
He Ran's chest heaved violently and he slowly closed his eyes.
The person who reported the news was Su Ming. Baihe Bay is a place upstream under his jurisdiction. The river bank here is gentle and the water flow is not fast. It is one of the few natural crossings on the Gunlong River. The only way to defend this place is to increase the number of people.
Soldiers, this place was heavily guarded before, but in order to send troops to cut through the gorge, a lot of troops here have been mobilized. If the troops attack with all their strength, they will definitely not be able to defend it.
In normal times, although Baihe Bay is considered an important area, its loss is not a big deal, because the terrain there is not suitable for defense, but the surrounding passes are suitable for defense but not for attack. The Shun army will not dare to attack unless they capture the nearby city.
If the troops marched straight in here, it would be easy for the Yi army to recapture Baihe Bay and cut off their way back. However, at this time, the Yi army captured Baihe Bay by force, which made He Ran shudder.
Under the joint attack of Zhao and Yi, Shun Guo had absolutely no reason to attack Baihe Bay even if he saw that Yi Jun's defense was empty. Since Baihe Bay was attacked, the next step must be to seize the surrounding dangerous passes, and then send troops from there.
They went straight to the hinterland of Yi State, but under such circumstances, Shun State's defense was still insufficient in strength. How could they have thought that it would be possible to counterattack Yi State?
I think there is only one answer, that is, after Shun Guo learned that Fu Duan Gorge had been lost, he quickly informed Zhao Guo of the news. This was indeed a clever strategy. After Zhao Guo learned the news, he could roughly guess that Yi Guo
Zhao Min did not want to see Yi Guo get another opportunity to grow so soon, so he would secretly collude with Shun Guo, promise not to attack again, and even win Shun Guo's trust by withdrawing troops, so that Shun Guo could use all his strength to deal with Yi.
country.
He Ran repeatedly asked Dongfang Ao to return to the defense in time to prevent Zhao Guo Guo from slowing down his attack on Shun Guo. But now it seems that he still miscalculated and did not expect Shun Guo Guo to come here.
Although Baihewan was lost, He Ran did not believe that Shun Guo would dare to immediately attack Yi Guo with all his strength. Not to mention the other advisers, Bai Guobo alone would not do such a stupid thing. Yi Guo was no longer a small country, and once Shun's army sent troops
If we enter, it will definitely be an endless war, and Zhao Guo will be extremely happy by then.
Since this road is not feasible, then Shun Guo must have another conspiracy to seize Baihe Bay. From He Ran's position, it is not difficult to see the mystery. That is to use the attack on the dangerous passes around Baihe Bay as a smoke to secretly send out a mysterious force.
Hidden, they went straight to the Axe's Gorge and launched a surprise attack from behind. As long as they captured a pass of the Axe's Gorge, they could hold the natural barrier for a while. After that, they immediately sent reinforcements to reinforce this strange force and secure the Axe's Gorge.
, and cut off most of the troops of Yi State led by Shi Lang, and then they could easily destroy Yi State.
These plans were guessed by He Ran the moment he saw the secret report. This is not to say how smart he is, but because no one knows the current situation of Yi State better than him. No one knows better than him.
This is the fatal point for Yi State. Go emphasizes that the enemy's key point is our key point, and this is especially true for fighting with troops. The Ax Breaking Gorge is now the most critical point in the whole game. If this eye is broken, then Yi State's key point will be
Even if the dragon is slaughtered.
He Ran closed his eyes and thought for a moment before he stood up suddenly and shouted to the outside: "Call Dong Jie quickly and come see you soon." Dong Jie is in charge of the flying pigeon station here and usually waits for orders in this government office.
, Qizhan is a military commander.
Xi Qun promised loudly outside. A moment later, Qi Chu ran in from Dongqiang. Seeing the military advisor's face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He Ran ordered Dongjie: "Immediately send a message to Muhu City, telling Wang Jia that Baihe Bay has been lost, and asking King Feng to mobilize surrounding troops to strictly guard the Axe Duan Gorge. Tell him that I have guessed that a loyal army has sneaked over there.
, and at the same time, please ask King Feng to send someone to inform the military advisor of the time, asking him to first transfer 3,000 troops back to defend Muhu City, and then move the army to the Gunlong River as quickly as possible, collect boats and send a team of troops down the river...
"
When He Ran said this, he glanced at the geographical map, and then said: "Land ashore in Dry City to strengthen the defense of this line. This letter is extremely urgent. Three doves fly together." Then he turned to Qi Qi, who was at the desk to record, "You also need to
Send a fast horse to report the news, and make sure that this information reaches Wang Jia."
It is a rare thing for three pigeons to fly together. At the same time, a fast horse is sent to deliver the message. The importance of this message is self-evident. Dongzhao, Qi, accepted the order with a nervous look on his chin.
Qi Zhan was thoughtful and reminded: "The military advisor only asked the military advisor to send a group of troops down the river. Do you want to clarify the number of people?"
He Ran waved his hand and said: "No need, the military advisor will handle it as appropriate."
The two of them said nothing more, turned around and walked quickly outside.
He Ran called Dongzhao, frowned and hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said: "Send another message to Zangxian Valley, and dispatch a thousand men and horses to Ring the Bell City. At the same time, you send a message to the king, and ask the king to strengthen the alert to guard against the Zhao army's attack, and send a general.
The general came to Pingcheng to take charge, and told the king that I would go to Wanglongcheng to supervise the battle."
Dong Yan did not dare to delay and hurriedly walked out. As soon as he arrived at Feige Station to send the message, Xi Qun rushed over with the military advisor's seal and issued an order: "The military advisor ordered a message to be sent to Su Ming and asked him to report to Su Ming the next morning.
The Shun army on the other side of Baihe Bay released the news, saying that we have wiped out all the surprise troops who attacked the Axe-Duan Gorge."
