Chapter 15 First Arrival of the Underworld (Part 2)
Arriving at the inner hall, He Ran asked Chen Min to wave away his attendants before he said, "I'll talk about it after you've been polite. I have a few things I would like to ask your Majesty's permission for."
Chen Min pretended to be displeased and said: "The military advisor said that, Chen Min is so embarrassed. I know I am not a shrewd person, but I am not confused. I know in my heart that what I am today is all thanks to the military advisor. This entire country is a gift from the military advisor."
Yes, just say whatever the military advisor has to say. Now that there are no outsiders, the military advisor should not be called a king anymore. Chen Min would not dare to be called a military advisor."
He Ran smiled and said: "That's not okay. You are the king of a country after all. Don't talk about other etiquette. This is absolutely unacceptable." Seeing that Chen Min was still insisting, he waved his hand, "Okay, that's all.
There’s no need to worry about it, it’s more important to talk about business.”
Chen Min knew that it would be bad if he persisted any longer, so he concentrated and said: "Military advisor, please speak."
He Ran looked at him and said: "I think you already know about the civil strife in Fan State."
"This section is too chaotic for me to care about others too much, but I have heard about it, but I don't know much about it."
He Ran briefly told him what he knew, and then said: "I think even if I don't say it, the king should know how important Fan Bang's final direction is. Whether it is towards Shun State or towards Zhao State, we
Everyone is worried about national subjugation."
"Yes, yes, what the military advisor said is absolutely true." Chen Min frowned.
"After I attend your founding ceremony this time, I will go to help King Fan quell the chaos. Just know this and don't tell others."
"I understand this. Don't worry, strategist. The strategist can just tell us what we need to do. However, the strategist has a body of ten thousand gold. Why should the military strategist do this kind of hard work personally? Just send a tiger general."
ps: jinly, you are trying to turn me into a professional writer, add more "Haha, it's a big deal, I will always feel uneasy if I don't go. I know your current difficulties. There will inevitably be some turmoil at the beginning of the founding of the country. In my hands
The troops are already insufficient, so I don’t want you to send troops. I just need to provide some funds and military supplies. Can this be done?”
"Your Majesty, the military advisor is too kind to Chen Min'ende. All the expenses are borne by me. However, how can I feel sorry if I don't send troops? The military advisor should choose some experienced soldiers to go with him. The military advisor can understand.
I can't help but appreciate my difficulties. I can still send out three or two thousand troops." Hearing what He Ran said, Chen Min was really grateful. It is only natural for a vassal country to help the overlord country send troops to fight, not to mention those who were most affected by the troubles of the foreign countries.
It's him. From every aspect, he should send troops.
"No, if it is really needed, I will send someone to you to borrow troops. Well..., the most likely thing is that I will ask you to send a team of troops deep into the Fan Realm to act as suspicious troops. This does not require the use of elite troops.
, just find some people to show off, and choose talented generals to lead them so that no one can easily see the truth."
"This is easy, this is easy. I will never miss the military advisor." Chen Min agreed repeatedly.
Next, He Ran discussed with Yi Jun about the crossing of the border. Transit was not a problem. The key was to remain invisible. Chen Min called in capable generals to help plan the march route and other matters until He Ran was satisfied.
After the business was done, Chen Min had the opportunity to present the gift he had prepared. What he gave to He Ran was a set of high-quality pens and inkstones and a gold-backed iron bow. It happened that neither of these two things was He Ran's favorite. He only had pens and inkstones.
After taking a look, I became somewhat interested in the bow. When I picked it up, I felt it felt very heavy. When I pressed the bowstring, I realized that I couldn't pull it open at all.
"This bow is called Shepo. It is one of the three most proud bows made by Master Yuanyin. When fully opened, it can penetrate iron armor at three hundred paces." Chen Min said and handed over two sharp arrows. He was surprised to see that those arrows were made of
It is extremely delicate and slightly longer than ordinary arrows. When I took out one and took a closer look, I saw the word "Yuan Yin" engraved on the arrow shaft.
"Who is this Yuan Yin?"
Seeing that he didn't know Yuan Yin's name, Chen Min couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that he didn't know the value of the gift, so he hurriedly explained: "This man is the most famous bow maker in this area. In fact, he can be said to be the best in the world."
He is a master of bow making. A good bow made by himself can be purchased for more than a hundred gold. Even if you have money, you can buy it. All generals in the world are proud to own a good bow made by the master. What they are most proud of is
There are three famous bows: choosing a man, fixing the soul, and shooting the soul."
He Ran became interested now. Bows and arrows are powerful weapons for the army. It would be a good thing if such a famous craftsman could be used for his own use.
Seeing the concerned look on the military advisor's face, Chen Min spoke more and more vigorously, "His family is a bow-making family, and many of his disciples have joined the army as supervisors, so his family is highly regarded by the country. The Dinghun Bow is a master of Yuanyin."
The work of my youth was exchanged by King Shun for an iron scroll to avoid death. This shooting weapon is the work of my middle age. I spent a lot of money to get it. It has a gold back, an iron tire, and black steel strings. I am not afraid of the military advisor's jokes.
I haven't been willing to use it since I got it, and I really can't pull it away. Today I dedicated it to the military advisor."
"How can this happen? How dare I accept something that is so dear to the king?" He Ran smiled and handed over the bow.
Chen Min pushed the bow back firmly and said: "I also know that the military advisor does not like to play with these things, but I just want to dedicate the most precious thing to the military advisor to express my respect for the military advisor. The military advisor must accept it."
He Ran smiled and said: "Since your Majesty said so, it would be disrespectful. Thank you very much, Your Majesty." As he said that, he pulled the bow string slightly, "It's a waste to keep such a good thing with me. I want to give him to Jieyi."
Brother, I wonder if your Majesty would mind?"
"I have long heard that General Yun is the military leader of the Zhao Kingdom and has a close friendship with the military advisor. It is perfect for the bow to be transferred to him." Chen Min was very satisfied with He Ran's arrangement.
"Come on, let's let him try the bow and see how powerful this shot is." He Ran said with great interest.
Seeing that he was so interested in this gift, Chen Min was very happy and hurriedly asked people to prepare it.
On the way to the military field outside the palace, Chen Min continued what he had just said and talked about the third bow, "This Select Lang Bow was specially made by the master for his favorite granddaughter in his later years. It was made when she was ten years old.
Judging from the name, the military advisor should have known that this was for choosing a son-in-law for his little granddaughter. He said that only the man who can draw the bow to full length and hit the red heart with an arrow from five hundred paces is qualified to be the son-in-law. Not only that, but who is it?
Anyone can pull this bow, and they must be among the top three in the Wu Kui Competition. It has been three years since the granddaughter turned fifteen, and there are six or seven people who have tried this bow.
Two of them are military commanders, but so far no one has been able to fill them."
"Oh? Is this bow so difficult to open?" He Ran became curious.
"Do you want General Yun to give General Yun a try?" Chen Min said in an encouraging tone.
"Does he live far away from here?"
"Two hundred miles away, it's not that far, but it's within the borders of Jing'an Bo."
"Hahaha." He Ran laughed, and then whispered: "No wonder you encouraged Yun Ye to go."
