Chapter 42 Turn to the East

Adal was very surprised to learn that the military division of Yi was coming. After salute each other, the accompanying officials sent the handwritten letter of the king. After reading it, Adal bowed to He Ran and said, "Adal respectfully respects the order of the military division, and everything is at the order of the military division."

He Ran smiled and said, "You'd better take charge of the army. I'm here to advise you."

"The military division joked that the military division will be in charge of me in this round."

He Ran stopped arguing about this matter, entered the big account, and sat in the handsome position under Adal's stubborn concession.

Speaking of Zhongfu not long ago, Adal looked ashamed, "I really underestimated the eastward and missed the great events of the king and the military division."

"Did you see Dongxing in the battle?"

There was a trace of doubt in Adal's eyes, "I haven't officially played against him, and I haven't seen him. What does the military commander mean?"

"We guess it may not be him who is in charge of the army this time."

Adar's eyes widened, and then he realized, "Maybe it's true, it should be like this!" I've always wondered why the old man Dongxing suddenly became so powerful, but I didn't think about who would be in charge of the army, his men..." He frowned and thought.

"The king guessed it was Siyazima."

"She?! That 'white lotus'?!" Adar looked at Wan Jin in disbelief and suspected that he had translated it wrongly.

Wan Jin repeated the name of Siya Zima.

Adal still shook his head in disbelief, and then said with shame, "If I lose in the hands of a woman, I will really lose my face."

"White lotus is her nickname?" He Ran asked curiously.

"Well, she likes to wear the clothes of women in the Central Plains. She still likes white dresses. She is beautiful, so we call her White Lotus."

"This king didn't say anything. It seems that you know her very well." He Ran looked at him with a smile.

Adal smiled and said, "It was Yi Anzong who was interested in her and told me something about her. After her husband's death, his third brother still wanted to ask me to propose marriage to him."

He Ran's heart moved and said as if nothing had happened, "So that's it. Let's not talk about this. What's the reason why the ambush was seen through this time? Was it the brothers who were found out by hiding it?"

Adar was very depressed and said, "Maybe. Anyway, their search team returned when they arrived nearby. The army was stuck more than ten miles away, and then turned around and ran away. I think it was an opportunity to lead the troops to chase and kill. After chasing dozens of miles of the vanguard battalion, I hurriedly withdrew back when I saw that the opportunity was wrong."

"The two armies are more than ten miles apart, and you are chasing each other. It is said that they don't have enough time to ambush. There should be flaws in a hurry. The generals of the vanguard battalion are greedy, aren't they?" He Ran looked at him calmly and asked.

Adal did not want his subordinates to bear such a crime. He said with a calm face, "The commander Jiaji is very experienced in the battle, and he is not a person who is greedy for merit. I think there may be other strange things. I have been thinking about it. Unfortunately, it is a pity that those who escaped back are the whistle of the rear team and can't ask anything."

He Ran nodded and stretched out to everyone, "I've been on the road all day. It's too tired. You all go. I have to go back to bed early to rest."

When everyone dispersed, He Ran took Adal to his bed tent, sat down and asked, "Have you ever thought that the enemy was ambushed in advance?"

Adar frowned and said, "I think about it, I understand what the military division means. The military division suspects that someone has leaked the secret to the east."

He Ran blinked his eyes and looked at the tent without saying anything.

Adal stared at him quietly and asked, "Does the military division have any vouchers?" Only Fan Wang and Yi Anzong knew the place of the ambush in advance. Yi Guo's military division naturally suspected Yi Anzong when he said so, which made him very unhappy.

Seeing his look, He Ran smiled faintly and said, "What I mean is that someone must have leaked the secret. If the enemy is resourceful and familiar with the geography here, it is also very possible that we will set an ambush here and set up a trap for you in advance."

Adal looked away from his face and muttered, "Is it really a white lotus?"

He Ran changed the topic and told him about his strategy to scare the enemy. Adal patted his legs and his eyes showed an excited light. Obviously, he greatly appreciated He Ran's strategy.

"Make preparations early tomorrow morning. Is there any good way to convince the enemy that we are really going to attack?" He Ran looked at him with probing eyes.

"It's easy to gather those cattle and sheep who are military food, no longer graze tomorrow, and make a look ready to move with the army at any time."

"Good! Tomorrow morning, 2,000 people will be sent to move to the northeast, make a gesture to the front to intercept, and then pay close attention to the enemy's movements. Once they begin to retreat, you will chase fiercely, so that the enemy will believe that you are going to pester them and wait for the army to come and encircle them. The more you chase, the more fiercely you will be. You can't give them a breath. Opportunity for the exam. The more than a thousand people sent by the king will rush back and forth over there to confuse the enemy.

"Thank you to the military division for giving me this shameful opportunity!" Adal's eyes showed gratitude.

"Be careful. If you see that the enemy is showing signs of counterattack in the chase, you must withdraw your troops decisively, withdraw to a safe distance to confront them, and pretend to bite them."

"I see! If the military division doesn't have anything else to tell me, I'll prepare!" Adal looked at him excitedly.

"Go!" He Ran waved his hand to him with a smile, "I really have to rest. My bones have been scattered this day."

Adal laughed, and the casual and amiable words and demeanor of Yi Guojun made him feel quite cordial.

When he came to the tent, He Ran called him again and asked with a smile, "Did you see that I was riding on the wind?"

Adar nodded and said, "I saw it as soon as the military came."

"The king and I have changed horses. What's the rules here? We are both brothers of the king, so what do we do?"

Adal smiled with a sincere smile and said, "If the military division does not think that Adal is humble, then Adal will naturally regard the military division as his own brother in private!"

"Hahaha, that's good!" With that, he sighed, "It's a pity that you are older than me. My favorite thing to do is to scold my younger brother. My age really makes me suffer too bad."

Adal said with tears and laughter, "The status of the military division is respected. How dare I respect it with my age? The military division can be reprimanded at will."

"You can't say that. How can brothers be noble and cheap? Forget it, if I can make friends with a grassland hero like you, I will suffer a little loss. As a little brother, I will give a gift to my brother. With that, he was about to get up and salute.

Adal hurriedly stopped him and said, "I can't stand it. The military master has been honored to treat me as my brother Adal. I dare not say this brother's gift."

He Ran laughed and said, "That's what you said. I'm the most annoyed with these etiquette, which makes people feel strange. That's it. Go ahead and I'll go to bed."

Adal turned around and went out of the door with a cheerful smile.
