Chapter 37 Victory in the First Battle

He Ran is really a little drunk at this moment. The king of Fan has learned the lesson last time, but this time he is not allowed to commit adultery and slippery. The generals will take turns to toast to celebrate the joy of his relationship with the king. In such an occasion, it seems boring to push three or four obstacles. He Ran doesn't know how much he has drunk. Fanwang, known as a large number of people. I've been drinking with him, and now I'm drunk.

When he saw the messenger, He Ran walked over quickly. He was familiar with this person. After reading Xiao Xiao's letter, he woke up most of his wine, and his eyes were shining against the fire.

The king came over and saw him calm. He pulled him and said, "If you have nothing to do, go back to drink quickly. Don't use your crooked tricks anymore."

He Ran laughed, sent the messenger to rest, and then said in Fan Wang's ear, "There's something wrong. I'll talk about it later."

The king didn't believe it. He slanted his drunken eyes and said, "You want to get drunk, don't you?"

He Ran gave him a look and walked back to the crowd and said, "I'm a little dizzy. You are not allowed to leave. I'll take a rest and come back to drink with you. You, you, you, and you. I owe each of the four of you a bowl of wine. I'm not bad."

In fact, it was the four people who owed him a bowl of wine. They stopped drinking because the messenger suddenly came. Everyone laughed and knew that the Yi army generals were really drunk. Those Yi army generals did not break it with laughter. What the banquet wanted was this bustle. Moreover, these people knew the amount of the military division and knew that the military division was It's to tease them.

Entering Fan Wang's tent, the drunkenness on He Ran's face immediately died. He glanced at several servants in the tent. Fan Wang looked at him and began to believe that he was not hiding from wine. Then he became nervous and frowned and said, "These people are all my cronies. What happened?"

He Ran said slowly, "Shunren and Ye have really attacked Xiangguo, and the front has advanced 300 miles."

The king was shocked and said anxiously, "Aren't you sure that they won't really fight Xiangguo?"

There was a little confusion in He Ran's eyes, "This is out of my expectation, and I can't see it clearly now."

"So...do you want to go back to the rescue immediately?" King Fan is very nervous. The war here is coming. The Yi army is the key to defeating the enemy. If they withdraw, it will be difficult to fight.

He Ran looked down at several cases and meditated. It was very simple to solve the danger of Xiangguo. As long as he led the army directly, he was bound to withdraw and rescue the army. But what about the king? This is a war that must not be lost, and it can't even be avoided, because it is related to the inversion of those rocking tribes.

After repeated weighing, he felt that he could only temporarily abandon Xiangguo. No matter why Shunren was so crazy, let them toss around. As long as he defeated Xinyan Tuliang, he could unite with the army of Fanwang to recapture Xiangguo. Thinking of this, he was moved. Could it be that Shunguo decided that Fanwang would be defeated, so he was bold. Such a big attack on Xiangguo? In that way, the country of Yi is less than the strong reinforcement of the king of Fan, and the state of Shun has more than this new force. It is a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to seize a large area of Xiang. The people's hearts of this side are still in the Shun country. Of course, the sooner they take it back, the better.

But why are they so sure that the king will be defeated? In case they guess wrong and the king wins in the end, then the troops of Shunguo's investment here will be dangerous. If they can't retreat, there is a possibility of the whole army being destroyed. Such a big gamble is not a wise choice. It seems that King Shun is really angry.

"At most three days, Xinyan Tuliang's army will arrive. Let's go to the rescue after this battle. Xiangguo is thousands of miles away, and it should be a few days late." Fan Wang looked at him with burning eyes, and his temperament would never make such a request if it was not a last resort.

He Ran looked at him firmly and said, "Since you think I am a brother, how can I abandon my brother at this moment? I will never withdraw before defeating Xin Yan!"

Fan Wang patted him on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Good brother!"

He Ran smiled and said, "But after the war, we may have to change our previous strategy. I want to get rid of it first. If conditions permit, you and I will go to the army in separate ways, and I will destroy the nest of Yedu. You lead the army to ambush him on the way back to the army."

"Hmm! It's all up to the brothers to decide.

"Let's see how about the battle against Xinyan. Can you go to the side of your big account? I have to go back to King Feng immediately. He Ran glanced at the huge palace as big as a palace.

The king took him to the back of the account, and He Ran told him, "Just say that I slept here. It's better not to tell anyone about the things in the Xiang Kingdom, so as not to affect the morale of the army."

Fan Wang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand this."

He Ran returned to his station and first summoned Dongfang Ao to explain the situation in Xiangguo to him. Dongfang Ao was shocked and couldn't figure out what Shunguo was going to do. He agreed with the idea of the military division to abandon Xiangguo for the time being. There was no choice under the current situation.

He Ran summoned his cronies who were responsible for the transmission of the flying pigeon and sent out a secret order with the flying pigeon. He asked Xiao Xiao to observe the situation closely. If the enemy's soldiers were too sharp, he would take Chen Min and others to withdraw the axe cut the gorge in advance. When he defeated Xinyan Tuliang and then attacked the enemy who invaded Xiang on both sides. He did not care about the gains and losses of Xiang. What he cared most was Xiao Xiao's safety. All, so I specially reminded her not to be careless and to beware of the enemy's raid on Andu City.

After sending the secret letter, He Ran started alone in the account. After waiting for so many days, it was bad news. How did such a clear situation produce such a change? It was really puzable. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't want to think about it anymore. He tried his best to eliminate the confusion caused by Xiao Xiao's letter, no matter where he was born. What kind of chaos, the fundamental solution to the crisis is still the battle against Xinyan. After winning the crisis of Xiangguo, he was relieved by himself. Then he calmly thought about the upcoming war, carefully deducing the step-by-step plan in his heart, and calculating all kinds of possible changes.

He fell asleep when the sky was about to dawn. It was not that he didn't want to sleep, but that he couldn't sleep. People couldn't use too much affection. After lying down, he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Xiao. If the State of Zhao secretly agreed with the State of Shun, the State of Xiang would be difficult to save, and there were also 30,000 soldiers like wolves and tigers. There were another 30,000 elite soldiers in the State of Shun. So many soldiers and horses can fight almost at will.

Will they use a soldier and horse to block the axe to cut off Xiao Xiao's way back? If that's the case, Kong Lin, who guards the axe broken gorge, dares to attack? Will Chen Min's generals defect? It is very likely that the trees fall down and scatter, and there are few loyal ministers when the general trend is gone. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He couldn't wait to fly back and tell Xiao Xiao a few words to his face.

He finally fell asleep but had a nightmare again. For a while, Xiao Xiao was captured, and for a while, he was defeated by Xin Yan. When he woke up, it was just dawn, and he didn't even sleep for an hour. After he got up, he wrote a secret letter to Xiao Xiao, wrote down his concerns one by one and told her again that she must ensure the safety of the retreat and not wait until the last minute to withdraw.

The army only brought five carrier pigeons from Muhu City, and put two at once. He Ran couldn't take care of this. Even so, he was still worried. He wrote another long letter to call the secret envoy who delivered the letter yesterday and ordered him to take them back immediately. The letter that the flying pigeon can carry is limited, and he must Only by telling Xiao Xiao everything in his heart can he feel at ease.
