Chapter 54 Unwilling to be lonely Next

Xu Tong and Dongfang Ao work very quickly, and the news was sent back in a few days: several locations suitable for interception have been selected, and construction is being intensified.

The snow is about to melt, and there is no room for a slight delay. If you want to flood the city, the amount of water is indispensable. Even if you find a narrow waterway, the height of the cofferdam must be high enough. At the same time, the amount of construction of several cofferdams is not much smaller than the pile of stones, but the benefits of water attack are still obvious, which can be reduced. Casualties of soldiers, so no matter how large the project is, it is worth it.

When the troops guarding outside the city changed their defenses with the soldiers in front of him, He Ran followed him back to the barracks and looked over the two coffers under construction. At this time, a small amount of melted snow water had flowed down. The scene of Gaoxia out of Pinghu was not expected. The cofferdams were left with drains, so that part of the water flowed down the waterway. This is the east. In a careful place, if the stream that should have flowed down is completely cut off, Zhao Jun will definitely be suspicious,

After the inspection, He Ran felt very satisfied. He stayed in the camp for a few days and returned to Lingxia City.

After returning to the city, I was glad to hear that Su Ming's passers-by had received the news. They were blocked by Bai Yankou. The enemy did not retreat due to the dangerous terrain, and it was difficult to move forward for a while.

Although it is not good news, He Ran is still very happy, because although the two armies are only a few hundred miles apart, there are mountains and dense forests in the middle. The letter has to go back in a big circle. This circle will take one or two thousand miles, but it is not easy. It is enough to know that the man and horse is at least safe, which is enough to comfort him. Bai Yankou is far from Jingqu City. It's only 500 miles. Su Ming's advance speed is still very fast. I think they have played the strategic purpose of attracting the enemy, which is enough. Therefore, He Ran sent back the military order and ordered Su Ming to use troops cautiously. If it is really difficult to conquer Bai Yankou, he will make more feuds, so that the enemy can only increase troops and dare not withdraw.

In the season of Hebing Kaihua, the news about staying in the country was reported,

When the State of Zhao was attacked by enemies on all sides, Zhao Kun also wanted to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. Although Xiping withdrew his troops and horses to China due to the rebellion of the Yi people in the rear, Zhao Kun, who lacked backing, was still difficult to suppress his greed and led his troops to invade the southwestern territory of the State of Zhao. Because the war was so smooth that it was so difficult for him to fill, he suddenly penetrated more than 300 miles.

This opportunity was seized by Johai. The king Gu Nian was unwilling to attack Zhao. Johai saw that a large area of the territory of the State of Zhao was divided by other countries. It was really a hundred claws scratching his heart. So his eyes kept staring at Zhao Kun and thinking about his territory. At this moment, the opportunity finally came. He led 20,000 elite soldiers to take advantage of it and copied Zhao in one fell swoop. Kun's hometown not only occupied all 18 cities, but also set up an ambush to beat Zhao Kun, who hurried back to the division. Poor and ambitious Zhao Kun stole chickens and did not erode rice, and only took more than a dozen soldiers to escape to the west screen in embarrassment.

When he heard the news, He Ran didn't think there was anything good or bad. He sent someone to return to Su Pingjiang and asked him to send a messenger to Liuguo Road to congratulate him. He said that it was empty. The important thing was to invite Liu Wang to send troops to attack Zhao again.

He Ran is not worried that the parliament will take the opportunity to become stronger. It would be better for them to occupy the southwestern part of the State of Zhao. In that way, the country will become a fence to resist Xiping. If the country can send troops, it will certainly greatly accelerate the process of the demise of the State of Zhao. Now Dongchuan and Linchuan are about to establish a country, and there is a large area of land for the country to collect. Take, in the past three or five years, the State of Yi is strong enough, and he can also enjoy a peaceful life. Now the most important thing is to kill Zhao Yu to avenge his brother and vent this hatred. The following things can be left to Shi Lang and the officials in the court.

On a warm and intoxicating afternoon, He Ran, Su Xiyao and Xiaozhu went out of the city to spring. The grass had just drilled out of the ground, and it was difficult to see too much green when I looked at it, but a few new greens between the dead branches and yellow grass were still very eye-catching.

After placing cushions, several cases and refreshments in a flat place in the valley, the bodyguards retreated far away and guarded around,

Xiaozhu brewed tea and handed a cup to He Ran. He said, "You are really comfortable as a military master. It's not like you're here to lead the army to fight. You're more leisurely than a rich man."

He Ran laughed and said, "Who let me have the ability? You see, a few of those people who are very good at work hard."

Xiaozhu didn't think so and said, "Sister Yin'er's ability is great. She is good at literature and martial arts, and she is also known as wise all over the world. She doesn't work very hard."

He Ran said disdainfully, "What kind of ability is she? She is far from it."

Su Xiyao smiled and said to Xiao Zhu, "Don't you understand? What he means is that only he has the ability in the world."

Xiao Zhu looked at He Ran contemptuously and said, "I think that's what he means. He is lazy and has to find a high-sounding excuse."

He Ran pretended to look into the distance and frowned, "How do you know? I seem to be leisurely now, but I haven't rested for a moment..." He said here and suddenly pointed to a tree not far away in surprise and shouted, "Look, purple sparrow, this is really big. How can I catch it?"

Xiao Zhu looked along his fingers and said with a smile, "You haven't rested for a moment in your mind. That's all you think."

He Ran quickly restrained his happy expression when he heard the words, looked elsewhere, frowned again and pretended to be deep, and said, "It's just a little happy at first sight. I don't have time to pay attention to these."

Su Xiyao also suppressed her smile and said, "Os, don't pretend. If you want to catch it, call Zhong Yu and others to catch it."

He Ran took another look at the purple sparrow on the tree. He expected it to be difficult to catch, so he picked up a small stone and threw it away. He said, "Fly, so as not to disturb me thinking about national affairs."

Xiaozhu was made to giggle. The three of them drank tea for a while. Suddenly, a colorful butterfly flew from nowhere. Xiaozhu got up and rushed, and Su Xiyao also chased after him. After a while, she finally couldn't jump.

As he walked back, Xiaozhu looked at He Ran, who was still sitting in front of several cases, and whispered, "You see, he is still pretending. I went around behind him and shouted to scare him."

Su Xiyao looked at He Ran, her bright eyes flashed and said, "He may be really thinking about something. Stop it. I'm afraid it will really scare him."

Xiaozhu squeezed his lips and said with a smile, "Madam is really good at protecting him. I think he is just pretending. If you don't believe it, let's go back and have a look there. I'm sure he will follow him immediately."

Su Xiyao was worried about disturbing He Ran's thoughts, so she readily agreed to Xiaozhu's proposal. The two walked to the stream not far away. Xiaozhu had no intention to play in the water and look at the scenery. From time to time, she secretly looked at He Ran sitting in the distance. Seeing that he had never moved, she couldn't help but be a little impatient and pulled Su Xiyao back,

Before returning to a few cases, He Ran asked with a smile, "The butterfly didn't rush to catch the fish again. Did you catch the fish?"

Xiao Zhu clapped his hands and said to Su Xiyao, "I'm not wrong. He's not thinking about anything. He keeps staring at us."

Su Xiyao looked at He Ran and asked, "What were you thinking just now?"

He Ran spit out his tongue at Xiaozhu, and then replied, "Li Ping's business is annoying."

"What's bothering him?" Su Xiyao asked puzzledly,

He Ran frowned and said, "If it's just his business, why should I be so worried? Alas, I really don't want to think about it."

Xiao Zhu saw that he was not teasing himself at this moment and asked curiously, "What on earth happened that made you so worried."
