Jiuding Military Division 2

Xiao Xiao has already received the report in this regard, and said with a cold snort: "You are really getting better and better. Going to Dingyang alone, you are very capable!"

Seeing her pretty face as cold as ice, He Ran knew that she still hated her, and said with a smile, "I wanted to send you a letter before I went, but the situation was too urgent and it was too late, so I just sent you a letter." ...Hey, I'm back safely now, don't be angry."

Xiao Xiao glanced at him coldly, and said: "There is no reason to say this, you are willing to die to serve the country, why am I angry?"

He Ran sighed, and said: "Xiao'er, your bright smile was still in front of my eyes when I visited Xuanding City last time. After we parted, I missed you every day. It was so easy to meet you. You are so cold again. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have left you that time, no matter what bastard military and state affairs it is.”

Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he looked behind him, seeing Xiaoling and Hongquan standing far away, he felt relieved, and said angrily, "You say these words so loudly!"

He Ran said with a disregarded and angry expression: "I'm not in the mood to care so much."

Xiao Xiao was afraid, she knew that if He Ran became self-willed, he would be lawless, so she hated: "If you do this again, I will ignore you in the future."

He Ran looked at her quietly and said: "You don't pay much attention to me now, it's better to ignore me if you talk so sarcasticly."

Without saying a word, Xiao Xiao turned around and left.

"Last time outside Xuanding City..." He Ran shouted loudly.

Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he immediately stopped, turned around and looked at him almost beggingly.

"I won't shout when you come back." He Ran threatened.

Xiao Xiao wished he could kill him with his eyes, and walked back silently.

He Ran's eyes flashed with infinite tenderness, and he told the reason for going to Dingyang softly, and then said: "I know you must be very angry after hearing the news, and I really can't bear to report to you before you go. There was a moment when the situation was very critical, and I really thought that I might not be able to come back. At that time, I stopped thinking about you and prayed to God secretly. If He Ran was really destined to be like this, then I dare not expect to escape this calamity. I only hope that God will show mercy Let me see you again before I die, Xiaoer, I feel in my heart that I owe you the most."

Hearing him confide the truth so unabashedly, Xiao Xiao felt very shy and moved in his heart. Faced with this situation, she couldn't allow her to avoid it like before, so she blushed and whispered: "I deserve to die in Dingyang." , You asked for it!" Then he said with dissatisfaction, "Sister and Yin'er won't stop you? Sister Nuanyu should also stop you."

He Ran smiled and said: "Only Yin'er knows about this, how dare I tell my sisters and them."

"This dead sound!" Xiao Xiao cursed bitterly.

He Ran smiled and said, "Don't try to stop me by pointing at her, but if..." There was a meaningful smile in her eyes.

Of course Xiao Xiao understood what he was going to say, he naturally couldn't hide this kind of military affairs from himself, the Phoenix King, if he stopped it with Zhuyin, he meant that he could stop it.

Qiaolian felt feverish again, Xiao Xiao turned his eyes to the distant mountains, changed the topic and said: "You just said that you want to open the road to the prairie, this is not difficult, the premise is that the remaining three gates must be removed quickly to let the It's too late for Shun Guo to send troops here, so your strategy is a good one."

He Ran's face was faintly sad, and he said in a low voice: "After listening to the return of Qian Shilang, who was sent to Fanbang, I feel very uneasy in my heart. There may be chaos in Fanbang, and the prestige of Fanbang who has been defeated one after another is declining day by day. Especially his idea of ​​moving to the Central Plains was opposed by most of his subjects. My initial idea was to open up the road and unite with Fanbing to sweep the cut-off southeast half of Pingshun Kingdom, and divide most of the city to satisfy Fanwang’s desire to move to the Central Plains. According to the analysis of the news brought back by Qian Shilang, if that is the case, Fanbang may collapse. Before I left, I sent Qian Shilang to go on a secret mission, and it is almost time to relax at the border of Zhao State. I can’t confirm Fanwang’s status. This battle cannot be fought under the circumstances, if we have opened up the road but King Fan cannot lead his troops to arrive in time, then this battle will not only be in vain, but also expose our intentions, and Zhao and Shun will not spare us."

Xiao Xiao nodded, looking into the distance as if thinking about something.

"I've been in a lot of turmoil these days. I really wish I could meet King Fan in person and see what's going on with him." He Ran said sadly.

"You almost died in Dingyang just now, how dare you make such a thought!" Xiao Xiao hated him so much that he really wanted to push him off the cliff.

He Ran said with a bitter face: "I'm just in a hurry to talk casually."

Xiao Xiao glared at him fiercely, then turned his eyes to the distance, and said softly: "A few days ago, I thought of a strategy to attack the lower pass, and I always wanted to tell you that it might reduce our dependence on Fanbang."

"Oh? Zhan Feng's strategy must be extremely ingenious, come and listen to it." He Ran's eyes lit up.

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes at him angrily, sorted out his thoughts, and said a little embarrassedly: "You also know that if I talk about marching and fighting, I can barely handle the responsibility, but it is far from controlling the situation of all parties and planning the world's major events. , You can’t laugh at me if I’m wrong.”

He Ran smiled gently and said, "Why are you still telling me these things? Even if I laugh at you, what are you afraid of?"

Xiao Xiao looked at him contemptuously and said: "You are the most merciless person. If I make a mistake, you will definitely make fun of me in front of my sister and the others next time."

"Okay, okay, I swear, even if what you said is wrong, I will never bring it up again. Tell me quickly."

Xiao Xiao pondered for a while again, pointed to the front and whispered: "Nearly half of Shun Kingdom's large territory on the Gunlong River is the fief of two dukes, one is Han Gong Chen Jian and the other is Xiang Guo Gong Chen Min." , the land area of ​​the two is quite similar, and there are many iron mines in the territory. Fanbang not only has few iron mines but also has no iron smelting skills, so he spared no expense in buying refined iron in the transaction with the Central Plains. This is a very profitable business. His fief is just sandwiched between Fanjing and Xiangguo Gong's fief. If Xiangguo wants to trade with Fanbang, he must pass through the Korean fief. If he wants to detour, it will take hundreds of miles. It’s much higher than that of Han Gong’s, and Fan people won’t buy them at all.”

There was a smile on He Ran's face, "Korea Han naturally wants to enjoy this huge wealth to himself, and he will never agree with Xiangguo Duke to use the road to transport refined iron."

"Exactly, the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly. It was better to have King Shun mediate in the past, but now that Shun Kingdom has been weakened by us, the battle between the two of them has become more and more fierce. point."

"Hahahaha, God blesses the country of change. As long as we use the condition of sending troops to help one of them to rebel and establish a country, it doesn't matter whether there is foreign help or not. An extra vassal country has been created out of thin air, which is better than I imagined in advance!" He Ran was excited. fisted again and again.
