He had only been lying down for a meal when his personal entourage spotted Gungun Zhengchen coming this way. After hearing the news, He Ran sat up and sat quietly for a while, then got down and walked out with a calm expression.
As soon as we arrived at the north gate, we could already hear people shouting and neighing. When the generals who defended the city received the order to close the city gate, they became very nervous. When enemy soldiers came to attack, they turned pale with fright when they saw the billowing dust.
, hurriedly sent someone to report the news to the city guard. He was relieved when he saw that they were flying the flag of his side, but soon his heart was raised again. This group of troops actually launched an siege formation.
Although they were just the vanguard, there were still 3,000 people. The entire city's garrison was only 200, and the northern city only had about 40 people. Looking at the well-trained and powerful troops below, the defenders' legs were shaking.
At this time, a general with a silver helmet and a spear jumped out of the battle and shouted towards the city: "Why did you close the city gate? We were ordered by the military advisor to go to Wanglong City and open the city quickly!"
"
The general who defended the city shouted: "General, this is the gate of my home city guarding the gate. General, please wait a moment. I have sent someone to ask for the city guard."
"Nonsense! Why should the city gate be closed in broad daylight?! Open it quickly. Can you bear the responsibility for missing the military plane?" the generals under the city shouted impatiently.
"You really can't make the decision, general. Please wait a moment, general. The city guard will be here soon." The general guarding the city stamped his feet anxiously and kept looking back. When he finally saw the city guard, he shouted anxiously to the people below the city.
: "The city guard is here, the city guard is ascending the city!" When I turned around, I noticed a young man in brocade clothes walking in front of the city guard. The young man was only twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old. His face was calm and his steps were steady.
, walking one step at a time, like a young man who came to the city to enjoy the scenery. The guard general was so angry that he almost ran over and kicked him down, but when he saw a group of extremely capable guards following behind him, he understood that this man was absolutely
An unusual person. The city guard was not blocked but followed him step by step. Although he could see that this young man had a great background, the guard was still anxious to pick him up. When would this happen?
Sorry, he can still walk so steadily. Can't he hear the neighing of the horses outside?
"General, the city guard is coming up now, there are only a few steps to go!" The guard was really afraid that the army below could not wait, so he shouted to the man again, then turned back and continued to watch the man walking up slowly.
, the young man grinned at the corner of his mouth every time he climbed a step.
When there were still a few steps to go, the young man actually stopped. The guard stamped his feet vigorously, said "Hey" in his mouth, and looked anxiously at the city guard. The city guard just shook his head at him and didn't dare to say anything.
I saw the young man waving to the guards behind him, and the two guards quickly walked up to the tower. One of them opened the silk bag in his hand, and the other went up and pulled out a flagpole. In a moment, the two of them opened a big flag high.
Lift up.
The guard was so frightened that he almost fell off the tower. Only then did he realize that this gentleman turned out to be the military advisor! He hurriedly bowed and saluted, thinking to himself, I wonder why this gentleman is so sure-footed. I am really blind.
Who else in Yi State could be so sure-footed in the face of thousands of troops? His heart was completely at ease. What else is there to fear from the military advisor? Aren't these people here just under the orders of the military advisor?
After the light blue military advisor's banner was hoisted, the soldiers below the city immediately started a commotion. When they saw the military advisor steadily walking up to the tower and standing with his hands behind his back, the noise below stopped immediately, and then three thousand people shouted together and held weapons in their right hands.
Stand beside your horse, bow your head, and perform the salute before the formation.
The guard general, who had never entered a formal military camp, was shocked by the formation in front of him, and his face turned red with excitement. He felt that this moment standing next to the military advisor was enough for him to brag for a lifetime.
He Ran was also shocked. Of course, what shocked him was not this formation. He had seen many pre- formation salutes that were bigger than this formation. He did not expect that three thousand people would salute in unison. How could this be done by the rebels?
He tried to calm down, pointed at the silver-armored officer with his hand and said loudly: "Hu Lu! You just said that you were going to Wanglong City on my order. Who gave you the order?"
Hu Lu turned over and dismounted, lowered his hands and said: "Commentary, this is General Shi Jingshi!"
He Ran nodded and said: "Where is Dongfang Ao!"
Hu Lu looked panicked and said: "Commander, Master Dongfang is in the middle army."
"Do you know he is a fugitive now!" He Ran shouted sharply.
The confusion on Xulu's face turned into panic, and he said: "The villain knows."
"Since I know you are still following him at this moment, are you trying to betray me?" He Ran asked coldly. Seeing the soldier's behavior, he felt a little confident.
The guard next to him trembled with fright. Only then did he realize that these people below were planning to rebel. He glanced at the leisurely military advisor. He really wanted to say: Master, you are too courageous to lead just these few people.
The guards came to block the army. Why are you safe? The step you took just now... Hey! Can't you give them a smile? How long has it been? You have to stabilize them first.
Xulu took two steps forward and said sadly: "Hulu, no matter how brave he is, he would not dare to betray the military advisor, but...just...Master Dongfang is really unjust this time! We just want to bring Master Dongfang to the military advisor."
We are not following Mr. Dongfang now, we are rushing to Wanglong City under the orders of the military adviser. Please give Mr. Dongfang a chance to defend himself. We know that this is an act of disobedience, but it is not true.
I am willing to let the military advisor accidentally kill a good general. If the military advisor still concludes that Lord Dongfang is guilty after questioning, we will be willing to be punished."
He Ran frowned slightly, changed his mind, and said: "In that case, you send someone to tell Dongfang Ao to come to the city to meet me. You lead your men through the city and set up a defensive formation three miles outside the south gate.
Wait for my military orders."
"Take the order!" Xulu said and turned around to give the order, and the army quickly changed from a siege formation to a marching formation.
He Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, these three thousand people were stabilized first. He ordered the city to be opened immediately and the roads in the city cleared to allow these three thousand people to quickly pass through the city."
The three thousand people had just left when they saw a small group of people galloping in the distance. When the people came closer, He Ran recognized Dongfang Ao at the front. It seemed that he came with only guards.
He Ran was filled with doubts after hearing what Xulu said. He originally wanted to call Xulu to the city to ask a few words, but he was afraid that something would happen if he left his three thousand people. At this time, he could not let the general leave casually.
After leaving the army, he still trusted Xulu. Now that he saw Dongfang Ao coming with only his relatives, he became more confused. It seemed that he was definitely not planning to rebel, so what was going on.
