After the accounts were settled, He Ran asked Su Ming about the situation at the border in detail.
After Su Ming answered one by one, he lowered his voice and asked: "Military advisor, what's going on over there in Dongfang Ao? According to your previous arrangement, he should have brought people to increase the border defense. It's because he hasn't withdrawn yet.
The navy had to keep putting pressure on Houhewan and did not dare to maneuver. As a result, it was outflanked and severely attacked by the Shunjun navy and suffered heavy losses. This is not to shirk responsibility. I sent people to Shi Jing several times in the past period to press for questioning.
, but the news we got was that Dongfang Ao led people to attack Juxian Mountain. Is this... could it be the later arrangement of the military advisor? "
He Ran shook his head and said: "I have never changed his arrangements. When I heard that he was trembling with anger when he went to attack Juxian Mountain, I immediately sent an order to dismiss him from his post. I ordered Shi Jing to escort him over. He should be here soon.
."
Su Ming was shocked when he heard this, "He...he...actually decided to go to Juxian Mountain on his own? Hey! He missed such a big thing because of greed for merit. He is really...so...confused! Alas!"
Su Ming's mention of this aroused He Ran's inner anger, and said bitterly, "I can't spare him this time!"
Seeing the military advisor gritting his teeth, Su Ming felt a trace of doubt in his heart. He frowned and said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that he is not this kind of person. Maybe there is something fishy here."
He Ran snorted and said: "I couldn't believe it at first, but the fact that he went to conquer Juxian Mountain was unmistakable. I also asked about it. He didn't follow the army to cut off his retreat. If his retreat was cut off, he would seize it.
Juxian is the best strategy to use offense as defense, not only does it have no faults, but it also has merits."
Su Ming frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a while, looked at the military advisor, smiled bitterly and lowered his head again.
"Do you have anything to say?" He Ran looked at him and asked.
Su Ming shook his head and said: "When he comes, you will know the reason as soon as you ask. However, the military advisor can calmly allow him to explain a few words. Maybe he really has a last resort. No matter how much I think about it, I don't think he is such a confused person."
."
He Ran thought about it and looked at Su Ming quietly. He was very clear about Su Ming's precision and stability. He never did anything he was not sure about and never said anything he was not sure about. In fact, He Ran found it hard to believe in Dongfang.
Ao would do such a thing, but the fact was right in front of him. Apart from greed for merit, he really couldn't think of any reason for Dongfang Ao to attack Juxian Mountain.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Do you want to hide anything in front of me? Have we become strangers after not seeing each other for a while? Is it because you killed Kong Zong for me that chilled your heart? Or is it because you have something else to do with me?
Dissatisfied? I have always regarded you as my best brother in my heart."
When Su Ming heard what the military advisor said, he was so frightened that he kept saying: "Where did the military advisor think of this? If the military advisor thinks this way, then Su Ming really wants to dig out his heart and show it to the military advisor. Kong Zong will live up to the expectations of the military advisor. Although we people
I miss him, but I also hate him with all my heart. Even if the military advisor doesn’t kill him, we can’t spare him. I’m definitely not dissatisfied with the military advisor. Of course, I know that the military advisor truly treats me as a brother. It’s not just me.
Many of the generals here followed the military advisor to attack Jigong. When we talk about the military advisor in private, we are proud to call ourselves brothers of the military advisor, and we all regard this as a supreme honor."
He Ran smiled and said: "That's right. I am very honored to have you good brothers who value love and justice. If it weren't for you, how would I have so much confidence internally and externally?"
Su Ming sighed and said: "It's enough for the military advisor to know that Su Ming would rather die than to betray the military advisor. It's not that I intentionally concealed anything, but I just thought there were some things that I shouldn't say after thinking about it. I ask the military advisor for your understanding."
He Ran nodded and said: "Among these people, the one I feel most at ease with is you. Since you think you shouldn't say it, it must be something you shouldn't say. Okay, I won't ask anymore. You can do it again when you think you should say it.
tell me."
"Thank you, military advisor. You have worked hard all the way, military advisor. You should go and have a rest first. I'm keeping an eye on you here."
He Ran saw that his eyes were bloodshot and said, "I haven't had any rest in the past few days."
Su Ming smiled bitterly and said: "I've been really anxious these past few days. Once the Shun army is allowed to gain a foothold, I will be the guilty party of the country's subjugation. I think that the vast areas of land and mountains that the military advisors spent their efforts to conquer will be in vain. How can I still do it?"
Can sleep peacefully."
"Come on, accompany me to drink a few bottles. I just mentioned Kong Zong and I feel very bad. You should go and have a rest when you are drunk. Don't worry, nothing will happen to Shunjun. Even if something happens, it won't happen.
In the past few days, when the eight thousand men and horses arrive, and when the reinforcements from the military advisor arrive, if Shunren understands me, get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise these people who came across the river will never even think about going back." He said.
Then he got up and walked out of the lobby.
A gloom flashed across Su Ming's face, and he sighed inwardly and got up and followed.
The next day, one of Shi Jing's guards came to report the incident. When he came in, he said in a panic: "Commander, I am responsible for escorting Dongfang Ao to Wanglong City. If he didn't want to go far, a group of Dongfang Ao's cronies came out and killed him."
, killed five or six of the escorts, robbed Dongfang Ao and ran away."
He Ran couldn't believe that this kind of thing would happen again, and he sternly ordered the messenger: "The pass is ordered to be strictly inspected and guarded, and this Dongfang Ao must be captured and brought back!"
Not long after the military order was sent out, news came that shocked him: Dongfang Ao had returned to the military camp and was heading towards Wanglong City with eight thousand people.
All the generals were horrified when they heard this. If Dongfang Ao rebelled at this time, it would really be the end of the country for Yi. Eight thousand men and horses came to kill from behind, and the current strength of the troops along the border would never be able to withstand it.
He Ran stared at the cases without any expression on his face, and his body did not move at all for a full cup of tea.
After a while, Su Ming stepped forward and whispered: "Commander, the general wants to meet him. Please return to Zangxian Valley immediately. If he really rebels, this battle will be impossible. We only have to
Abandon the natural danger of Gunlong River and retreat to Pingcheng first."
He Ran slowly raised his head and said: "He cannot control those eight thousand people. Although the soldiers were trained by him, the generals are all our brothers. You can guard here and I will go see him."
As soon as this statement came out, the generals immediately exploded. The impatient ones had no regard for etiquette. They gathered around and shouted. Some cursed Dongfang Ao and the generals who were familiar with him, and some advised the military adviser not to go under any circumstances.
Ji Niu, who had followed He Ran to attack Ji Gong, had the strongest temperament and the deepest affection for He Ran. At this moment, he rushed over and shouted with red eyes: "You all should stop making trouble, military advisor, I will take people to meet him right away."
Dongfang Ao, you bastard, I have to tear his head off, and those ungrateful people, after following Dongfang Ao, they forgot about the kindness of the military advisor, and actually dared to come towards the military advisor with swords and guns, I see
Kill one by one! If you want to go with me, follow me!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
