Jiuding Military Division 2

He Ran can understand Su Ming. Apart from his cautious temperament, this matter is indeed too important. Shi Jing and his status are border commanders, and their responsibilities are related to the safety of the country. suspicion.

Among the generals, He Ran and Shi Jing have relatively few contacts, because this person is not good at talking and loves face very much. When others say anything disrespectful to him, he will blush and stare thickly. He is a person who can't take jokes. So entrusting him with a heavy duty is because he is a powerful general under the public account of the Communist Party. His achievements in the past are still higher than that of Su Ming. He is very good at commanding troops and fighting.The second is to know from the side that he is a good person and has no bad deeds. Although he has quarrels with the puppet, he can be resolved afterwards and he is not a person who holds grudges.

Why did he make things difficult for Dongfang Ao this time, so that he missed such a big thing?Did Dongfang Ao's words offend him?Even so, he should know the seriousness and should not use this kind of thing that endangers the safety of the country as a means of revenge. That is, he really heard the news that the Shun Army navy patrolled the river and dared not send the boat out, but it should be given to Dongfang Ao. Send a letter, Dongfang Ao sent so many people across the river to urge him, he has no reason to ignore it.It would be even more unreasonable to say that he was bought by Shunren, which could not explain why he took Dongfang Ao back later.

After asking the two loyal generals he called to accompany him alone, he can confirm that Dongfang Ao's words are true, and the problem can only be caused by Shi Jing.He Ran thought for a while and couldn't figure out why Shi Jing did this, and he felt a little angry with Su Ming in his heart. If he expressed some doubts, he would not be so anxious.

He Ran was really in a hurry. If he was confident when he went to stop the 8000-man army alone, he was really not sure when facing Shi Jing in Shuangxia City. Many of the generals there were Shi Jing. people.If Shi Jing is in chaos, it will be more harmful than Dongfang Ao's chaos. If he is pushed into a hurry, once he joins the Shun Kingdom, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, He Ran wanted to rein in his horse and turn back several times on the way. He thought of a way to slow down the army. He could first arrest Dongfang Ao and stabilize Shi Jing's heart. When Shi Lang's army came back, he would summon Shi Jing to ask responsible for this.But doing so will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers under Dongfang Ao's command. They are all full of resentment just like Dongfang Ao, waiting for him to give them justice.Furthermore, can this stabilize Shi Jing?If he really did something wrong and didn't see Dongfang Ao executed immediately, then would he....

He Ran weighed it over and over again, and finally decided to give up this strategy of delaying the army, because if it is not done well, it will be a catastrophe. Not only will it not be able to stabilize Shi Jing, but it will also increase the resentment of the soldiers under Dongfang Ao's command.Then let's see how bold Shi Jing is, in times of crisis, he can only fight.Those who should come will always come. If Shi Jing really has the courage to rebel, even if Shi Lang's army returns, he can still take refuge in the Shun Kingdom. It is just across the river, whether it is easy to defeat the enemy, enter the customs or cross the river to surrender. up.

I hope that the cause of the matter is that Shi Jing misunderstood the false report because he was afraid of encountering the Shun army patrolling the river and did not send a boat to respond. At the same time, Dongfang Ao offended him with his words, so that he deliberately refused to reply to Dongfang Ao's letter in order to retaliate.Thinking of this beautiful wish, He Ran secretly sighed, this is really a real self-deception.

Two days later, at dusk, Shuangxia City could be seen from a distance, ten miles away from the city, He Ran ordered the army to set up camp, and he called the accompanying herald to order: "Go to the city to deliver my military order, order Shi Jing to come here to see me."

After the herald left, he called Zhong Yao and the other two guards, and said in a low voice, "You guys secretly go to the vicinity of Shuangxia City to monitor, and if you find any signs of people moving, report back immediately." He had to guard against the whistle, if Shi Jing was really cruel, then he had to run away immediately.

The time of waiting is the most difficult to bear, especially the waiting that is a matter of life or death.

Calculated by the distance, the herald should have returned long ago. He Ran stepped out of the military tent and stood on a small mound with his hands behind his back, staring at the direction of Shuangxia City with no expression on his face.After waiting for so long, Dongfang Ao felt a little nervous, he leaned into the military adviser's ear and whispered: "Shi Jing hasn't come for so long, there may be some accidents, the military adviser should leave here first."

He Ran snorted lightly, but did not speak.

Dongfang Ao glanced at the darkening night around him, shook his head and dared not say any more.

After a while, the military adviser asked calmly: "How do you see Shi Jing delaying to meet you for several days?"

"The villain has no grudges with him in the past and has no grudges in the near future. I really can't figure out why he harmed me. I have been wondering about it in my heart."

He Ran was silent again, a gust of autumn wind blew by, he couldn't help shivering, glanced at the bright moon that had already risen, his heart was very conflicted, what Dongfang Ao said was right, Shi Jing hadn't come for so long, I'm afraid he was about to change , it would be more dangerous to wait here for a moment longer, but if I leave now, then Shi Jing's side may become a gate for the Shun army to enter and exit at any time, how can this work?Maybe the door opened before Tokiro came back.

This loophole must be plugged immediately!He Ran made up his mind, but now it's time to leave here, find a safe place to spend the night, and contact a few trusted generals here tomorrow to find out about Shi Jing's developments, and then make plans for the next step.

When he was about to turn around to give an order, he vaguely saw a string of flames coming towards him, waited quietly for a while, and saw that there were only a dozen or so people in this group, he calmed down and walked slowly into the military tent.

Not long after, the herald came in to report that Shi Jing was too ill to stay in bed, so he sent the deputy commander, Qiong Xi, to see the military adviser.

He Ran snorted and asked, "Have you seen him?"

"I didn't see it."

"Then why have you been gone for so long?" He Ran stared at him and asked.

"The lower official went to the commander-in-chief's mansion to explain his purpose. The person who reported back came out after a long time. He said that the commander-in-chief was seriously ill and could not come out to take orders. Let me wait a little longer. The commander-in-chief will send a deputy commander back with me to return to his orders. It was half a day, so I came back late."

"You go down first and let Qiongyu come in." He Ran ordered.

After Qiongyu came in, he had finished paying homage, and took out a letter saying: "Military division, the commander-in-chief ordered the general to present this letter to the military division."

He Ran realized that there was a look of sadness on his face, so he didn't immediately go to accept the letter, but looked at him and said, "Is Shi Jing really that sick?"

Qiong Xi lowered his head to avoid his gaze, held the letter and said, "The military division will understand everything after reading the letter."

He Ran took the letter, and when he opened it to read, his brows gradually frowned, and when he saw it, he suddenly raised his head to stare at the sky, and asked:

"Is he in front of you...?"

Qiongxi said sadly: "Yes!"

He Ran put the letter on the small table in front of him, staring at the sky without saying a word for a long time.
