Chapter 56 The Plan of the Phoenix King

Xiao Xiao has received a report in this regard and snorted coldly, "You are really getting more and more able to go to Dingyang alone. It's a good ability!"

He Ran saw that her pretty face was as cold as frost, and knew that she still hated it. He smiled and said, "Before I went, I wanted to send you a letter, but the situation was too urgent at that time. It was too late, so... Hey hey, I'm back safely. Don't be angry."

Xiao Xiao looked at him coldly and said, "There is no reason for this. You don't hesitate to die to serve the country. Why am I angry?"

He Ran sighed and said, "Xing'er, your bright smile was still in front of me when I traveled to Xuanding City last time. After parting, I missed you all day. It was so easy to meet you. You were so cold again. If I had known that, I wouldn't have left you that time. I didn't care about the military affairs."

Xiao Xiao was so scared that he looked back. When he saw Xiaoling and Hongqi standing far away, he was relieved and said angrily, "You also said these words so loudly!"

He Ran said regardless of anger, "I'm not in the mood to care so much."

Xiao Xiao was afraid. She knew that if He Ran was wayward, it would be lawless. She said hatefully, "If you do this again, I will ignore you in the future."

He Ran looked at her quietly and said, "You don't pay much attention to me now. It's better to ignore me like this."

Xiao Xiao turned around and left without saying a word.

"Last time I was outside Xuanding City..." He Ran shouted.

Xiao Xiao was so scared that he stopped immediately, turned around and looked at him with almost pleading eyes.

"I won't shout when you come back." He Ran threatened.

Xiao Xiao couldn't wait to kill him with his eyes and walked back silently.

He Ran's eyes were full of infinite tenderness. He told the reason for going to Dingyang in a slow way, and then said, "I know you must be angry after hearing the news. I really can't bear to report to you before I go. There was a very critical moment in Dingyang. I really thought that I might not be able to come back. Don't miss you too much at that time. I secretly pray to God that if He Ran really deserves this, then I dare not seek to avoid this disaster. I just hope that God will pity me and see you again before I die. Xiaoer, I feel that I owe you the most in my heart.

Listening to his undisguised truth, Xiao Xiao was very shy and extremely moved. In the face of this situation, she could not allow her to escape as before. She blushed and scolded in a low voice, "You deserve to die in Dingyang. You asked for it!" Then he looked dissatisfied and said, "Sister and Yin'er won't stop you?" Sister Nuanyu should also stop it.

He Ran smiled and said, "Only Yin'er knows about this. How dare I tell my sisters?"

"This dead voice!" Xiao Xiao scolded resentfully.

He Ran smiled and said, "Don't stop me by pointing at her, but if..." Looking at her, there was a meaningful smile.

Of course, Xiao Xiao understood what he was going to say. Naturally, he could not hide this kind of military affairs from his own king. If he stopped it with Zhu Yin, he meant that he could stop it.

The pretty face had another fever. Xiao Xiao turned his eyes to the distant mountain and changed the topic and said, "It's not difficult for you to open the road to the prairie. The premise is that you have to quickly remove the remaining three passes so that Shunguo doesn't have time to transfer troops here. Your strategy is a good idea."

He Ran's face faintly showed a sad face and whispered, "Listening to the return of the money waiter of Fanbang, I was very uneasy. I'm afraid that Fanbang's side will also be in chaos. The prestige of the defeated Fanbang has fallen day by day, especially his idea of moving to the Central Plains. Most of his subordinates are opposed it. At first, I thought that after opening the channel, I would join forces to sweep the southeastern half of the cut off of Pingshun Kingdom, and divide most of the cities to meet the king's desire to move to the Central Plains. But from the news brought back by Qian Shilang, it can be analyzed that if that's the Fanbang may collapse. Before I leave, I sent Qian Shilang to make a secret mission. The border gate of the State of Zhao is almost the same. It's time to relax. If we can't confirm the situation of King Fan, we can't fight this battle. If we get through the road, but King Fan can't lead troops to arrive in time, then this battle is not only in vain, but also exposes our intentions. Zhao and Shun can't spare us.

Xiao Xiao nodded and looked at the distance as if he was thinking about something.

"I've been very confused these days. I really can't wait to see King Fan in person to see what's going on on his side." He Ran said sadly.

"I almost died in Dingyang, how dare you move this kind of mind!" Xiao Xiao really wanted to push him off the cliff with hatred.

He Ran said with a bitter face, "I'm not in a hurry to say it casually."

Xiao Xiao stared at him fiercely, then turned his eyes to the distance and whispered, "I thought of a strategy to attack the next pass a few days ago, and I have always wanted to tell you that it may reduce our dependence on Fanbang."

"Oh? Zhan Feng's plan must be wonderful. Let's talk about it. He Ran's eyes lit up.

Xiao Xiao glanced at him angrily, sorted out his thoughts, and said with a little embarrassment, "You know, if I talk about marching and fighting, I can still reluctantly take responsibility, but it's far from controlling the situation of all parties and planning major events in the world. If I don't talk to you, I can't laugh at you."

He Ran smiled gently and said, "What else do you say to me? Even if I laugh, what are you afraid of?"

Xiao Xiao looked at him contemptuously and said, "You are the most merciful person. If I say something wrong, you will definitely make fun of me about it in front of my sisters next time."

"Okay, okay, I swear that even if you say something wrong, I will never mention it again. Say it quickly."

Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment, pointed to the front and whispered, "In the large territory of Shunguo on the side of the Rolling Dragon River, there are nearly half of the fiefdoms of the two dukes. One is Chen Jian, the Duke of South Korea, and the other is Chen Min, the Duke of Xiangguo. The land area of the two is equivalent, and there is a wide range of iron ores in the territory. Fanbang not only lacks iron ore and does not know iron smelting skills, so with In the Central Plains transaction, you don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy fine iron. This is a very profitable transaction. The fief of the South Korean government is just sandwiched between the fief of Fanjing and the fief of the Duke of Xiang. If the Duke of Xiang wants to trade with Fanbang, it must pass through the Korean public fiefed land. If you want to take a detour, it will be hundreds of miles more. The cost on the road is quite huge, and the price is naturally higher than that of the Korean public. It's much taller over there, and the people won't buy them at all.

He Ran smiled, "Naturally, the South Korean government wants to enjoy this large amount of wealth alone, and will never allow the Duke of Xiang to borrow the way to transport fine iron."

"Exactly, the two of them have been fighting in the open and secretly. In the past, it was better to have the Shun king to mediate from it, but now that Shun Guo is weak by us, the fight between the two of them has become more and more fierce, and it has reached the point of meeting each other."

"Hahahaha, God helps the country. As long as we use the condition of sending troops to help to encourage one of them to rebel and establish the country, it doesn't matter whether there are any state help or not. There is an extra vassal state out of thin air, which is better than I had imagined!" He Ran was so excited that he punched repeatedly.
