Chapter 40 Turn to the East

The success of the First World War is just a fluke. Xinyan Tuliang is not a mediocre person. It is very gratifying to achieve such a record in this battle. After the exploration of Xinyan's army retreated 30 miles, the king ordered the whole army to celebrate.

The first step plan was successfully completed. He Ran called Dongfang Ao to tell him again and ordered him to lead the 9,000 soldiers under the temple tent to set out for fishing immediately.

A day later, Fan Wang came to He Ran's camp and told him to explore the horse to return that Xinyan's army had retreated another fifty miles.

He Ran said happily, "This is the work of the temple's attack. It must be that the news of the attack in the rear has spread to Xinyan, and Xinyan is also suspicious of Shun's life."

Fan Wang agreed, "Well, he is afraid that he will be entangled by us and will be attacked on both sides, so he should have sent someone to question him if he wants to distance himself from us and put the army in a safe place first."

He Ran said with a bad smile, "Don't want to figure things out without five or six days."

Fan Wang smiled more happily. "With his suspicious temperament, he will never easily believe and defend. When it is confirmed, I'm afraid that ten days and eight days have passed, and Adal rushed over early at that time."

He Ran shook his head gently and said, "It won't take so long. Xin Yan knows that he is also fighting Xiang. As long as the soldiers and horses of the capital are not withdrawn, the doubts will naturally be lifted. If he really joins hands with the date of the eastbound to attack, I think he will quickly lead the army to take a detour, because it's time for the eastbound at this moment. Xin Yan can't Let's divide our troops to fight against the eastward, and he will entangle us tightly.

Fan Wang nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

"There should also be news on Adar's side. If there is no trace of the eastbound army..., it may be that I'm worried too much. Maybe as you expected, the eastbound timid and cowardly only ask for self-protection to indeed migrate."

Fan Wang smiled and said, "No matter whether you come from the east, your caution is still right. I was very sure that the east will not be in line with Xinyan Tuliang. Later, after listening to your analysis, I think it's better to take precautions. It's great that you sent the temple to set up a suspicious force. It's just right for this period of time. It can be used to prevent eastward travel. In any case, 10,000 people in Adal can come back in time.

He Ran looked at him and said, "Are you so confident in Adal? He has only 10,000 horses, and the eastbound is more than 20,000. Fortunately, killing him off guard by 10,000 people can kill more than 20,000 people, but what if he is aware of it in advance? It's not bad that Adar can block the eastward trip in the frontal battle.

King Fan is very confident and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I gave Adal the most elite soldiers and horses, in order to let the war over there be decided quickly. I am timid to go east. If I really realize that we are on guard against him, I guess I will turn around and run away immediately."

"If this is the case, there is nothing to worry about. Dongfang Ao has taken away 10,000 people. Let's first bluff to keep the current camp size unchanged. After three days, we will shrink the camp, hide some people in the secret place in the mountains, and give Xin Yan an illusion that we will divide our troops to resist the eastward trip, so that he can confirm it. After the news over there, he will start the action anxiously. It is very likely to launch a fierce attack on our side. We pulled out the hidden soldiers and horses again. When he saw that the strong attack was not good, he should take a detour to attract us to attack. Maybe he didn't care about setting an ambush on the road and just wanted to bypass the mountain and force us to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, so as to respond to the people and horses going east. The more he marched, the greater the chance of the temple cloth and Dongfang Ao.

"Haha, that's right, let's stop the news that we planned to spread the enemy's defeat in advance."

He Ran waved his hand with a smile and said, "Yes, you can't say this. Instead, we will spread the news that we were panicked by the eastbound raid."

Fan Wang was in a good mood and sighed, "I'm so down-to-earth with your advice. This battle is really happy. Originally, Xin Yan had a great advantage. I fought with the mood of fighting to the death, but now I feel that the advantage is on our side. Xin Yan has become a bull at our mercy. No wonder people call you a magical jun. Hahaha, with a brother like you, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"My brother praises my little brother too much. I just beg my brother not to always think about rushing my little brother with wine in the future. This grassland liquor brother is really afraid."

Fan Wang stared and said, "This is not negotiable. I have to see you drunk. I'll spare you for a few days. When you defeat Xin Yantuliang, you can't avoid this drunkenness anyway."

Looking at He Ran grinning, Fan Wang laughed.

The king's good mood didn't last long. In the evening, there was news from Adal. Donghangzi Mango really came, but instead of being tricked, he set up an ambush when pretending to run away, almost annigushed the vanguard camp of a thousand people in Adar.

After informing He Ran, Fan Wang was annoyed and said, "I really underestimate this eastbound man. This old sheep has become an old fox. I really can't see that he still has this ability. Fortunately, Adar is cautious. If it were him, I might have destroyed."

He Ran frowned slightly and asked, "Where did Adal retreat?"

"He didn't retreat. He camped a hundred miles east of Geqiongcheng to confront him. I'm afraid he can't come."

He Ran looked at the position he pointed to on the geographical map, shook his body slightly and calculated it. After a while, he said, "If Sibu and Dongfang Ao ambush well, if we are just chasing and killing the fleeing soldiers, our troops are enough without Adar, but if the ambush fails, it will become the front. The situation of the back attack..." At this point, he shook his head gently, "It depends on whether the temple cloth is hiding well or not. If the back raid can have an unexpected effect, our troops are enough, but if Xin Yan finds them and prepares in advance, then the battle will be fought hard."

"With thousands of Zhao troops, Xin Yan is only 80,000 horses. We have nearly 60,000, and we may not lose when we fight." Fan Wang gave a good time to He Ran.

He Ran said solemnly, "Although my ten thousand horses in the Central Plains can be regarded as an elite soldier, fighting this kind of war is still worse than that of people. Besides, if we fight like this, both sides will be defeated. Whether we win or lose, it will be against us. Not to mention this, what I am most worried about is to divide troops to this side from the east. If Adar divides troops, it. Attack, you may be tricked. If Adar doesn't move, then this man and horse will kill this side to help Xin Yan.

"What should Adal do? Dongxing, an old man, won't be so bold. The king was uneasy when he heard what he said.
