Chapter 77 Jealousy Burning
He Ran can understand Su Ming. In addition to his cautious temperament, this matter is indeed too important. Shi Jing and his status are quite the border commanders, and the responsibility is related to the safety of the country. He can't casually raise suspicions about Shi Jing to the military.
Among the generals, He Ran's interaction with Shi Jing is relatively rare, because this person is not good at talking and loves faces. Others blush and stare at him when he is slightly disrespectful. He is a person who can't afford to joke. The reason why he is entrusted with an important task is that he is a powerful general under the account of the Communist Party of China. His previous achievements are still above Su Ming. There is a lot of skills in commanding troops and fighting. The second is to understand from the side that he is not bad, and there are no bad deeds. Although he has quarrels with puppets, he can be solved afterwards. He is not a person who holds hatred.
Why did he make things so difficult for Dongfang Ao to make such a big mistake this time? Did Dongfang Ao's words offend him? Even so, he should know that the importance should not use this kind of thing that endangers the safety of the country as a means of revenge, that is, he really heard the news of the cruiser patrol of the river so that he did not dare to send a ship out, but he should also send a letter to Dongfang Ao. Dongfang Ao sent so many people to rush, and he had no reason to ignore it. If he was bribed by Shunren, it would be even more impossible. This can't explain why he took Dongfang Ao back later.
After asking the two loyal generals he called to accompany him alone, he could confirm that what Dongfang Ao said was true, and the problem could only come from Shi Jing. He Ran couldn't figure out why Shi Jing did this, but he was a little angry with Su Ming. If he said some suspicions, he would not be so anxious.
He Ran is really anxious. If he is still a little sure when he is alone to block the army of 8,000 people, he is really not sure in the face of Shi Jing in Shuangxia City. Many of the generals there are Shi Jing's people. If Shi Jing is in chaos, it will be much more harmful than Dongfang Ao in chaos. If he is forced, once he defected to Shunguo, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, He Ran wanted to strangle the horse and turn back several times on the way. He thought of a plan to slow down the army. He could first detain Dongfang Ao and stabilize Shi Jing's heart. When Shi Lang's army came back, he would summon Shi Jing to hold him accountable. But this will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers under Dongfang Ao. They are all full of resentment like Dongfang Ao waiting for their justice. In addition, can this stabilize Shi Jing? If he really did something wrong and didn't see the immediate execution of Dongfang Ao, would he...
He Ran weighed it repeatedly, and finally decided to give up this slow-down plan, because if it didn't go well, he would fight. Not only could he not stabilize Shi Jing, but also increased the resentment of those soldiers under Dongfang Ao's command. Then let's see how bold Shi Jing is. He can only fight at the critical moment. What should come will always come. If Shi Jing really has the courage to rebel, even if Shi Lang's army comes back, he can also turn to Shunguo. It is easier to accept the enemy into the pass or cross the river to surrender.
I hope the reason for the matter is that Shi Jing misrepresented that he did not send a ship to respond because he was afraid of encountering the Shunjun River Patrol. At the same time, Dongfang Ao offended him again, so that he deliberately did not reply to Dongfang Ao for revenge. Thinking of this beautiful wish, He Ran sighed secretly. This is really a real self-deception.
Two days later, at dusk, Shuangxia City could be seen from afar. Ten miles away from the city, He Ran ordered the army to camp. He called the accompanying messenger and ordered, "Go to the city to pass on my military order, and order Shi Jing to come here to see me."
After the messenger went, he called Zhong Yu and the other two bodyguards and whispered, "You secretly went to the vicinity of the Double Gorges City to monitor and found that there were signs that someone would mobilize and return immediately." Then he sent some mobile secret whistles to the surroundings. He had to guard against it. If Shi Jing was really cruel, he would have to escape immediately.
Waiting time is the most difficult, especially when it is about life and death.
According to the distance, the messenger should have come back long ago. He Ran stood on a small mound with his hand out of the military tent, and there was no expression on his face in the direction of Shuangxia City. After waiting for so long, Dongfang Ao was a little nervous. He leaned close to the jun's ear and whispered, "Shi Jing hasn't been here for so long. I'm afraid something will happen. The jun'd better leave here first."
He Ran snorted softly and didn't say anything.
Dongfang Ao took a look at the deepening night and shook his head and dared not say more.
After a while, the military division asked faintly, "How do you see that Shi Jing delayed a few days to pick you up?"
"The villain has no grudge against him for a long time. I really can't guess why he hurt me. I have always been puzzled about this."
He Ran was silent again. A gust of autumn wind blew. He couldn't help shivering. He looked at the rising moon and was very entangled. Dongfang Ao was right. Shi Jing was afraid he would change if he hadn't come for so long. It would be more dangerous to wait here for one more moment, but if he left now, Shi Jing would follow. It may become the door for the entry and out of the army. How can this work? Maybe the door opened before Lang came back.
Be sure to plug this loophole immediately! He Ran made up his mind, but now it's time to leave here and find a safe place to spend the night. Tomorrow, he will contact a few trusted generals here to learn about Shi Jing's dynamics, and then make a plan for the next step.
When he was about to turn around and pass the order, he faintly saw a string of fire coming this way and waited quietly for a while. Seeing that there were only a dozen people in this group, he was relieved and slowly walked into the military tent.
Not long after, the messenger came in to report that Shi Jing was seriously ill and difficult to go down to bed, and sent the deputy commander Qiong to see the military division.
He Ran snorted and asked, "Have you seen him?"
"I didn't see it."
"Then why did you go there for so long?" He Ran stared at him and asked.
"The officer came to the commander's house to explain his intention. The person who replied went in for a long time before he came out. He said that Bian Shuai was seriously ill and had difficulty coming out to come out to receive the order. Let me wait a little longer. Bian Shuai will send the deputy commander-in-in-chief to come back with me. This is another half-day, so it is a late return."
"You go down first and let the dome come in." He Ran ordered.
After the dome came in, he took out a letter and said, "Military division, the commander-in-chief will send this letter to the military division."
He Ran thought that there was sadness on his face. He didn't pick up the letter immediately. He looked at him and said, "Is Shi Jing really so sick?"
The dome lowered his head to avoid his eyes, held the letter and said, "The military commander will know everything after reading the letter."
He Ran took the letter and frowned as he opened it. At the end, he suddenly looked up at the dome and asked:
"He is in front of you...?"
The dome said sadly, "Yes!"
He Ran put the letter on the small case in front of him and looked at the dome speechless for a long time.
