Chapter 49 Feng Xiang in the Wild
At midnight, a thousand people who were resting and marching in the back arrived. He Ran ordered a little and sent them away. Soon, Adal woke up, and He Ran was finally able to sleep soundly.
When he heard the horn in the morning, he only turned over. He was so tired. Hearing Xi Qun coming in to report that Adal had led the army, he said "um" in a daze and fell asleep again.
He woke up leisurely on the day, and his head was still dizzy. When he went out of the account to breathe, the commander who went to steal the camp last night was waiting outside for a report.
Seeing his excited face, He Ran asked Wan Jin beside him, "Did you have a good result yesterday?"
Wan Jin nodded with a smile and said, "He told me for a long time that he almost killed the enemy's middle army, which made them into a mess. At least 2,000 people were killed. When they first rushed in, those people slept like dead pigs. After killing for a long time, they were still sleeping soundly."
The commander couldn't stop talking, and he looked very excited.
He Ran patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and raised his big finger and said something.
The commander grinned and asked Wanjin what the military division praised him for. Wanjin couldn't help laughing. He knew that the military division was in a good mood, so he said perfunctorily, "The military division praised you for your bravery in fighting and made great contributions. When you look back to the king, there will be a reward."
The commander smiled and said thank you.
He Ran stretched out and said, "You take someone here to pick up Adal. I have to walk back slowly first. This buttocks are so painful that I can't gallop the horse. Adar is estimated to be here in the evening. Let him camp here. Tomorrow is not as fast as before. It's enough to walk a hundred miles a day. The enemy is afraid that we will not chase us in an ambush. I will leave more guide along the way. Let's meet tomorrow night.
The commander respectfully took the order to arrange it.
After eating something, He Ran began to retreat unhurriedly with the children of 400 Tibetan sages and the 500 guards sent to him by the king.
"Aren't we going to pick up Adal here?" Xi Qun asked in a low voice.
"If there is no accident, there is no need to respond." He Ran answered carelessly.
"But...what if there is an accident?" Xi Qun asked uneasy.
He Ran took a look at him and said, "If there is an accident, it's not something that we can save, understand?"
Xi Qun nodded and couldn't help looking back.
At dusk, they camped early and slept well all night. The next day, everyone was more energetic. He Ran calculated that the journey was as strolling like yesterday, and the sky was late when Ardar caught up.
Seeing the military division, Adar was a little frustrated and said, "I only chased more than 2,000 people. I really wanted to chase him again at that time."
He Ran was not very satisfied with the results, but he did not show it. He smiled and said, "Don't be unwilling. We have even killed many of them with less and more, which has taken a great advantage."
Thinking that the current results are enough to make up for the previous losses, Adal felt a little better. He pointed to the front and said, "Is the military division turning back to Qizari Mountain? Why don't you take the smoky lake and use the ambush there?
"I'll turn over there tomorrow. I'm going to make the white lotus think about it." He Ran winked at him.
Adal laughed. He felt that it was really a pleasure to get along with this Yi Guojun. The important minister of the Central Plains was not only pedantic, but also airsless, and from time to time he showed his little brother-like mischievousness.
"How to march tomorrow?"
He Ran didn't answer and asked, "Guess what the white lotus will think now?"
Adal thought about it for a long time and said without thinking, "I don't think she can figure out the reality of the reinforcements. Seeing our withdrawal, she may suspect that we are tempting her to chase."
"This is just one of them. She will also think that Xinyan Tuliang's side attacked, and our reinforcements had to withdraw, and..." He Ran paused for a moment. "She will think that the reinforcements are simply suspicious soldiers. We are in a hurry to rush back to help the battle."
Adal frowned and said, "If she thinks about these two things that the military division said, she is likely to catch up with us."
"I don't think she dares." Although He Ran's tone was very light, her tone was very firm, "Because she can't rule out what you said. Such a big gamble is not the work of a wise man. It's enough for her to hang us from afar. Now the most important thing is to restore her physical strength. I guess her march is slower than us and she didn't even move today."
Adal thought it was true, "Then we will..."
"Let your people have a good rest. Let's march more than a hundred miles tomorrow."
"What's the reason?" Adar sincerely asks for advice.
He Ran said with a bad smile, "There is no reason. We don't know it ourselves, and Bai Lianhua can't figure it out. In order not to be thrown down, she will also speed up the pursuit. Do you remember the feeling of fear when you chased them? Now it's their turn to be worried. They will travel more than a hundred miles the day after tomorrow and try to drag them down when they reach the smoky lake.
Adal reluctantly smiled and raised his worries, "But if they don't chase us, what if they rush directly to Qizari Mountain?" In that case, the king will be attacked by the enemy.
"If you were a white lotus, would you do that?"
Adal frowned and thought, "I'm not good, but we can't help but guard against her."
He Ran smiled faintly and said, "You still haven't really changed yourself to the position of the white lotus. You care too much about the king, and what you care about is chaotic. Calm down and think about it again. Put yourself in the position of the white lotus and think about it."
Adar looked at the sky and thought for a while and said, "The military division points out that it's really cares about chaos. We march to the northwest. If the white lotus rushes to the Qizari Mountain in the north, we can wave the division at any time, and she will fall into the predicament of the enemy on both sides. When she doesn't know the situation on the other side of Qizari Mountain, she has no reason to put the clan. In danger."
"That's it. Also, we will rush to the northwest tomorrow. This direction happens to be the end of Qizari Mountain. White Lotus may guess that Xinyan has taken a detour. We have received information to help. Since the main battlefield is over there, there is no reason for her not to chase us."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Adal repeatedly hit his thigh with a horse whip. "Hahaha, the military division just said that there is no reason for the Japanese urgent march, which is very profound!"
He Ran smiled and said to Wan Jin, "Praise him for me. I can't teach him too much. In case they beat us again in the future, we should use these flowers on us." With that, he rode the horse and ran forward.
Wan Jin's life with him is not short. He knows more or less about the temperament of the military division. He knows that he is deliberately joking, so he smiled and turned his original words to Adal. Adal laughed and chased him while shouting: "There is a military division here, and we are bold. I don't dare to get close to the border. Hahaha, the military division is my best friend on the grassland. There will never be a war. Although these fancy military divisions are kept.
Wan Jin also galloped his horse and shouted Adal's words to the military division in a loud voice. Although the surrounding soldiers did not know the details, they also guessed that both sides were joking, with a smile.
