Chapter 71 Sudden Danger
Mrs. Nuanyu's pretty face is now white. Although she doesn't understand the war, she can't understand the urgency of the situation after hearing that He Ran has begun to call the Tibetan Sage Valley to defend the army.
"It was fine the other day. Is it so critical to this point?" She couldn't hide her panic.
When the message came out, He Ran gently breathed a sigh of relief, regained the smile on his face, and said, "Don't panic. Since I have seen their tricks, there is nothing to be afraid of them. It's just the worst plan. It shouldn't be a big deal."
"Are you going to Wanglong City? I want to go with you."
He Ran shook his head and said, "Sister can't go. No one can say what will happen when the soldiers are together. I will send the bodyguards to send you back to the valley. Although a thousand defenders have been transferred, the remaining 1,000 people are enough to ensure that the Tibetan sages Valley is worry-free. Besides, Zhao is unlikely to use troops for us. My sister is still the most secure to go there. All."
"Since no one can say what will happen, I want to be with you more. Now I can go back and how can my heart be stable? I can run the horse now, and I won't delay your time." There was a plea in Mrs. Nuanyu's eyes.
He Ran shook his head again and said, "My sister is a Mingda person. Don't distract me at this time. I will send letters back from time to time. Sister, go and clean it up and leave in a moment."
Mrs. Nuanyu approached him and looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Hug me."
He Ran hugged her with a smile and apologized, "Let my sister worry about me again."
Mrs. Nuanyu closed her eyes and didn't say a word, as if she was fully experiencing the feeling of being hugged by him.
He Ran then briefly arranged the affairs of Pingcheng. He couldn't even wait to see Mrs. Nuanyu away, so he took 500 people to rush to Wanglong City in a hurry.
Along the way, He Ran has been thinking about what's going on with Dongfang Ao. Is he really trapped in the bottle washing mountain by Shunjun? According to Dongfang Ao's talent, he should not make such a low-level mistake. What is the reason why he did not withdraw his troops back in time? If he had strengthened the defense of the Rolling Dragon River, this would not have happened. Baihe Bay would not be so easy to be broken. As long as Su Ming persisted for a day or two, he could transfer the surrounding passers. Ma went to support.
When I was staying in Qianlin City at night, Pingcheng reported that the horse caught up with me.
He Ran couldn't help but be angry when he saw the secret report sent by Shi Jing. He patted a few cases fiercely, and the messenger was so scared that he almost sat on the ground.
Shi Jing guarded the lower reaches of the Rolling Dragon River, and Dongfang Ao crossed the river from his jurisdiction. Shi Jing's news said that Dongfang Ao had captured Juxian Mountain, and now the army is returning from crossing the river.
He Ran was so angry that he really wanted to immediately send an order to kill this greedy Dongfang Ao. He told him so carefully in advance about the importance of guarding. How could he do such a thing? It seems that this person is not very useful in the end.
He gritted his teeth and walked several times in front of several cases. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He summoned the person in charge of flying pigeons in the army and ordered, "Feishu passed our military order to General Shi, remove all the duties of Dongfang Ao, and escorted him to Wanglong City, and let General Shi immediately send the 8,000 people to Wanglong City. At the same time, he sent a letter to Su Ming to inform him of the 8,000 horses... ...Oh, no, we should arrive before that group of people, so we don't have to send this letter.
He Ran, who passed the military order, still couldn't understand his hatred, and pulled out his sword and hit several cases fiercely.
Xi Qun heard the noise and took a look at the door. After shrinking back, he shook his head at Zhong Yu and others, and waved his hand to signal them not to make a sound.
On the fourth day, He Ran rushed to Wanglong City. After entering the city, he took the bodyguards straight to the border marshal's mansion.
Su Ming was discussing with the generals. He heard that the military division had come. Before they could meet him, He Ran had already walked in quickly.
Seeing the soldier's tired face, it was obvious that he came on the way in the starry night. All the generals all bowed their heads after the visit.
Su Ming said in a low voice, "Su Ming was incompetent and lost the White River Bay, and he harmed the military division to travel far away. Please ask the military division to be punished."
He Ran patted him on the shoulder and said, "The troops here are too weak. It's not you who lost Baihe Bay." Then he said to the generals, "Look up. It's no wonder you."
When the generals heard the military division say this, they felt a little better. They looked up at the military division one after another and waited for instructions.
He Ran sat in the middle, and Su Ming reported: "The last general has sent troops and horses to recapture Baihe Bay. He has attacked a total of nine times. At the end of the ninth time, the general sent all the children in the valley, but the Shun army will not retreat. The last general is about to seize the customs in person. Please ask the military division to order. Su Ming will not come back to see the military division without recapture Baihe Bay!"
He Ran waved his hand to him and said, "Don't attack again. Did I let you spread the news?"
Su Ming replied, "It has been spread according to the instructions of the military division."
"Where are the Shun army attacking these days? How's the offensive?"
Su Ming unfolded the geographical map and pointed to several passes near Baihe Bay and said, "These places have been attacked by the Shun army. Although they sent a lot of troops, the offensive is not fierce. I think... they do not intend to seize the gate and destroy the city, but to contain us from letting us to seize Baihe Bay."
He Ran snorted and said, "It is said that the defenders from all over the country are not allowed to fight, and the soldiers who attacked Baihe Bay will immediately retreat to their original place."
"Yes!" Su Ming answered the promise, quickly turned his head and ordered someone to pass the order, and then asked hesitantly, "Ser, then the White River Bay... won't be taken away?"
He Ran showed a sneer at the corners of his mouth and said, "If I guess right, the army will withdraw in less than ten days. At that time, we will just cover up for a while. Now let's wait and see what happens. I don't believe that Shun people dare to let go. Even if they have this courage, they don't have to be afraid. The 8,000 horses brought by Dongfang Ao will be in a day or two. If you will rush here, the military division will also send troops to strengthen the defense of the front line of the dry city, and you will never get the benefits.
Hearing that the military division had made a careful deployment, the generals were relieved. Originally, everyone thought that the situation was very critical, but the words of the military division made them feel that it might be a false alarm. Whether it was a real crisis or a false crisis, as long as the military division came, their hearts would be calm, and there was a military division. There is nothing to be afraid of. The experience of fighting with military divisions over the past few years makes them convinced of this.
"You should closely monitor the movement of the army here, and report it immediately if there is any situation." The generals agreed.
He Ran turned to several sailor generals and asked, "How much did you lose this time?" Since the Shun army has crossed the river to land and fight, it is naturally unable to fight back against the Yi sailors.
"I lost nearly half of the warship and was unable to fight again. The navy has retreated to General Shi's side and joined the sailors over there. It was originally scheduled to find an opportunity to attack the Shunjun sailors after the confluence and reorganization." A general replied.
Another general was frustrated and said, "Our sailors are too different from the surplus. The previous battle was almost broken with one touch. We are really ashamed to face the military division."
He Ran smiled and said, "The sailors can't become a climate in a year or two. No wonder you. Just step up your drills in the future. Don't fight with the Shunjun sailors in the near future. Hide them in the port. If you fight again, it can only be a loss in vain. It costs a lot to build warships. We still have poor national strength now, and we can't afford such a large amount of money. The ship can only be built slowly. You should pay more attention and make full use of the warships at hand.
Several sailor generals were grateful to see that the military division was so considerate of them, and they all bowed to make promises.
