Chapter 112 Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Chapter 113 Farewell to the Grassland
The situation is far from as optimistic as Xiaoling thought, because it is not as simple as He Ran said,
Three days later, Xiao Xiao allowed him to enter the room, but he called Xiaoling not to let her go out. Two days later, Xiaoling finally found an opportunity to hide. Later, it was difficult for her to go in and report a letter, because she actually found that the door was bolted. After discovering this secret, she blushed and her heart pounded in front of the door again. Dare to take a step away, I'm afraid that this secret will be known by others,
Time flies, and the three-month cold winter is about to an end. As the weather gets warmer, the snow accumulated for a whole winter under the gentle breeze begins to melt slowly. He Ran's eyebrows slowly frown. The peace given to him by God ends here. What should be the answer to Fan Wang and Shilang?
It was Fan Wang who sent back the news first. It turned out that the snow this year was not big thousands of miles away. Most of Xinyan Tuliang's forces were subdued, and the rest was handed over to Adal. He led 10,000 troops to return, and it should have arrived about ten days later than the messenger.
This is good news. Geqiong City became lively and opened the prelude to the celebration. The atmosphere is getting warmer and warmer day by day.
Almost back and forth, and the news of Shi Lang also arrived. The State of Zhao really went to fight against the State of Shun. He followed He Ran's plan to withdraw troops in time after the full-scale war between Zhao and Shun. The State of Zhao suffered another dumb loss. In the battle against Shun, the State of Zhao not only did not get any benefits, but also The army suffered a lot of losses when it suddenly came out. Now the two sides are still holding each other and occasionally fighting.
After sending the messenger down, He Ran excitedly hugged Xiao Xiao several times, kissed her cherry lips hard, and then said, "God help us."
Xiao Xiao was in a good mood. He reached out and grabbed his belt and lifted him a few times. He learned his tone and said, "Innocently help us."
He Ran was dizzy and said dissatisfiedly, "Relying on your skills, you always bully me. What is this?"
Xiao Xiao squeezed his lips and smiled and said, "I just allow you to harm people with ghost eyes."
"What did I do to you? Tell me." He Ran asked with a bad smile,
"Bah." Xiao Xiao took a sip, and his pretty face turned slightly red,
He Ran was no longer entangled and said happily, "That's good. We can go back in ten days or so."
Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't answer the stubble, he whispered softly, "Come back to Zangxian Valley with me. Don't embarrass me."
Xiao Xiao squeezed Sakura's lips and said, "Let's talk about it then."
"Stop talking, just agree." He Ran begged,
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll talk about it later. Don't pester me. Go ahead. I want to calm down for a while."
He Ran didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. He shook his head helplessly and walked out step by step.
The return of Wang Shi pushed the festive atmosphere of Geqiong City to the extreme,
He Ran and Xiao Xiao went out of the city with Fanbang officials to greet him. Not far away, Princess Jinglan rushed to the horse and pointed to the maid who held Yun'er and said to He Ran, "Yes, she should follow the military division. The scene is so messy that I'm afraid that Pearl will happen again."
He Ran was grateful and said, "Thank you, princess."
Princess Jinglan looked at him silently and reluctantly smiled back to her two brothers.
After returning from the victory, the king was naturally in high spirit. When he saw He, he patted him on the shoulder excitedly, smiled at Xiao Xiao, and then said loudly, "To calm down the Xinyan Tuliang Rebellion so smoothly, most of the credit should be attributed to the king's driver and the military division. Yi Guozhi Well, my grassland should be remembered forever.
Everyone responded. Yunye and others had seen Pearl in the crowd. Seeing that there was no Xueer beside her, everyone was relieved and shouted,
When he came to the hall, the king briefly told the story of the trip. Next, Hong Konger reported the names of some tribal leaders waiting for summons. The previously wavering small tribes were eager to show their obedience at this time. Many people came when the road was just passable.
He Ran and Xiao Xiao got up and left. Fan Wang waved his hand and said, "Let everything go. I only drink with my brother today. This wine has been set for several months."
The officials looked at He Ran with a smile, and all of them were envious. They sighed that only this magical military division could afford this glory,
Arranging the gap of the banquet, Fan Wang invited Xiao Xiao and He Ran to the side hall, waved off the servant, and said with a smile, "I have something to discuss with you." Seeing He Ran smiling, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Looking at you like this, do you guess what I'm going to say?"
He Ran took a look at Xiao Xiao and said, "If it had something to do with it, we would have expected it long ago."
The king pushed him affectionately and said, "You are really good. You guessed it. It happens that your army is also here, so we will destroy it by the way, and then I will help you destroy the Shun Kingdom."
He Ran put away his smile and said, "I have discussed this matter with Wang Jia repeatedly. I don't know how to tell you. We want to ask our brother to help Yi Guo, but we are afraid of making him unhappy."
Fan Wang said unhappily, "You have helped me so much. Why do you still say such a thing? If there is anything I need to do as a brother, just say it."
He Ran smiled and said, "What we want to ask our brother to do is not to attack for the time being."
King Fan frowned and said, "What's the reason for this?"
He Ran explained: "The State of Zhao has recently relieved the internal trouble. The State of Yi and the State of Shun are about to be in trouble. They are now attacking the State of Shun. If we start from the back, the State of Shun will not be able to hold on for a month. Once the State of Shun is destroyed, the State of Zhao can deal with the State of Yi calmly. The chaos in the grassland is settled. It is difficult for the elder brother to help us. There are a large number of people, so the current best strategy for the State of Yi is to resist Zhao, and this force is also extremely important to the State of Shun. If the brother can delay the pace of unifying the grassland, it will be a great help to the State of Yi.
"Oh, that's how it is." Fan Wang meditated for a while and said with a bright smile, "It seems that my mind has been in vain these days. I have been racking my brains to plan how to destroy the country. When I am with you, I spend too much time thinking about it. Anyway, it's useless to think about anything in the end. It's better to drink a few more bowls of wine. What do you say? How to do it? I'm also going to help with the public and private help. Well, you can get rid of my calculations with one sentence, and you can save your mind for a few days. Then drink.
He Ran stood up with him and said, "Shun Guo will not fight, but my brother is going to help me fight the State of Zhao. I think this battle is imminent. Please settle down the tribes as soon as possible. At that time, we will rely on our brother, and my brother will just fulfill his long-cherished wish and occupy a place in the Central Plains."
Fan Wang said happily, "This is a cheap thing. Well, I will start the army as soon as your military order arrives. Brother Yu is here waiting for your dispatch at any time."
He Ran said with a smile, "It's broken, little brother. Let's do it like this."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling,
King Fan pointed to him with his hand and said, "You, you, it's really a pleasure to be a brother to someone like you. Hahaha, who in the world dares to command the king of the grassland? You are the only one who can make me willing to be driven away."
He Ran didn't appreciate it and rolled his eyes and said, "Don't say cheaply. I'm also to help you enter the Central Plains, but the ugly words can be said in the front. Once you enter the Central Plains, you have to restrain your subordinates. You can't kill them as before. Otherwise, it will damage the reputation of our country. It's rare for you to get the hearts of the people sooner or later. I was kicked out."
Fan Wang Zheng said, "I have long admired the education of the Central Plains for a long time. This time, I will personally unify the soldiers to make a long-term plan. At that time, you should send more talented officials to help me govern. I won't treat you badly."
He Ran waved his hand and said, "Not to mention the bad treatment, as long as you let me explain the past in the State of Yi. I will arrange the relevant officials for you, but the number of people will not be too large, and we are also very short of talents. This is a later story, but now I want to leave a good general for my brother, that is, Dongfang Ao, the State of Zhao is not only the army. Shi Jingmeng is resourceful, and those who are good at fighting in the army are even more powerful. The brother is not familiar with the tactics of the Central Plains, which can make Dongfang Ao help.
The king of Fan has a little knowledge of Dongfang Ao's ability and said happily, "It's so good. It's true that you are willing to leave such powerful subordinates to me. I'm still a little brotherly. I'll drink more bowls with you later."
"You won't let me drink less without this excuse. Let's see how I put you down today. I'm not sure who dares to mess up the wine rhythm. You'd better warn those people who want to drink mixed wine first."
Fan Wang said contemptuously, "There are no people who drink mixed wine on the grassland. They are all real men. Last time I put you down, no one cheated on you."
"Then let's go." He Ran knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply put on a heroic look and walked with his head held high,
Soon after the banquet began, Xiao Xiao withdrew from the banquet. She could drink with her soldiers, but she was not interested in front of outsiders. When she left the palace, she went to find Sang Qiong and was about to leave. She had to say goodbye to this sister.
Hearing that her sister was about to return to China, Sang Qiong couldn't stop crying. Xiao Xiao was greatly moved by the feeling of dependence from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes were also red. The two sisters had a good conversation. After Xiao Xiao left Sang Qiong, she walked aimlessly for a while and climbed to the tower, looking at the mottledness due to the melting of the snow for a long time. The prairie,
Xiao Ling beside her saw a smile on the corners of her mouth from time to time. She didn't know what she was thinking. She was curious but didn't dare to disturb her.
Just after dinner, I heard that He Ran had been brought back. Xiao Xiao hurried over to visit. He Ran's face was red and he slept like a child. Every time he saw his sleeping look, Xiao Xiao always wanted to laugh. It was a feeling from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that there was no drop of vegetable soup in his gown, Xiao Xiao put it down. I expected that he wouldn't be too drunk,
Before going out, she suddenly remembered something and called Zhong Yu aside and whispered a few words before leaving. Soon, Zhong Yu sent a big package,
Opened the package alone in the room. Xiao Xiao looked at the rough-worked little tent with a faint blush. It took a long time to tie up the package again and give it to Xiaoling for her to put it carefully.
