Chapter Fifty-One
Zhao Min couldn't tell whether he was feeling more excited or nervous now. Anyway, he didn't speak for a long time after hearing Yibu's report.
After setting up a large net and waiting for prey to no avail, he had to carry out expulsions. Zhao could not afford to wait any longer. Jing Huan also considered that the withdrawal of troops from Xiping might have the intention of defrauding the city. Once the capital was defeated, Zhao would be attacked.
The country has a lot of harm but no benefit, but the main forces are used to set traps for the Yi and Shun countries. The capital of the DPRK is in crisis again and is unable to save it. It can only place its hope on Kang Guo, even though he spends a lot of money and lies.
Blinding Ju Ran's eyes, he mobilized heavy troops to the vicinity of the capital, but without Mo Ju and many discerning men in Kang State, Ju Ran was still not sure whether he could cover the sky with one hand and launch the battle of Xiping.
Now that the hungry wolf squatting in the backyard was finally about to fall into the trap, Zhao Min didn't feel ecstatic, but more nervous than before. Is He Ran so easy to deceive? Is there some other conspiracy behind his promise to be so happy?
Yibu was quite puzzled by the king's silence. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but said: "The king has agreed to both transactions. Why is the king still looking sad?"
Zhao Min hurriedly changed his smile and said: "I think Yi State only sent ten thousand troops and horses, which is a bit small. I am worried about the emperor. The Qing family has worked hard. This mission has made a lot of achievements. Only Ai Qing is so virtuous and respected."
Only the veteran ministers can make King Yi obey the moral principles and send troops without hesitation. I have other rewards, so please return to your mansion and rest."
Yibu was overjoyed and thanked him and left. He had reached the age of retirement and rarely went to court. He knew little about the current situation. Zhao Min appointed him as an envoy just to take advantage of his respect for the emperor.
Only he could express the impassioned moral theory from the bottom of his heart. From the beginning to the end, Yi Bu did not know that sending troops to Yi State was a conspiracy and marriage, and it also contained other motives.
After Yi Bu went out, Zhao Min looked at the ministers in front of him, stopped his eyes on Jing Hui's face, and asked, "What do you think?"
Jing Yan shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile, "Is the king worried about He Ran again?"
Zhao Min smiled bitterly and said: "Military advisors are good at guessing people's ideas, and they hit the target right away. Alas, this person has become my heartache. I don't know how to plot against him."
With a calm smile on his lips, Jing Yan said: "Your Majesty, don't take him too seriously. Our plan is quite elaborate. No matter how capable he is, he can't predict everything. What's next?
We haven’t made up our mind yet on how to proceed, so how can he guess?”
Zhao Min felt a little more relaxed and said: "What I'm saying is that the military advisor's intelligence is no less than his. I'm really overly concerned. They sent 10,000 soldiers and horses. This number can be said to be too much or too little. What strategy should we follow?
Act?"
They had agreed upon two strategies in advance. One was to lure Yi's army to rescue the capital, and then find an excuse to get rid of them after the siege of the capital was solved. The other was to lure Yi's army into a trap and eliminate them directly.
drop, and then wave his troops straight down to Ringing Bell City.
Jing Huan lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a while, then said: "It's still hard to decide now. It depends on who is leading the army. If it is He Ran, then no matter how few people he leads, he must be eliminated immediately. If it is someone else..., then it depends on them.
Depending on the situation of subsequent reinforcements, our army will be on standby for now, and these tens of thousands of Yi troops can be led to fight against Xiping."
After listening to Jing Huan's words, the thoughtful people at the table had already seen some clues. Previously, this military advisor did not take He Ran seriously. When He Ran came to Dingyang as an envoy, he strongly disapproved of taking the opportunity to remove him.
He Ran, but now it is about to be eliminated. The reason is probably related to Fan Bang. At that time, Zhao State had the upper hand, but He Ran was tossing it up and down, and Zhao State was finally defeated.
After returning from work, the prairie became the back garden of Yi State. If Jing Huan hadn't seen the opportunity early and escaped quickly, he might have been a prisoner of the adult family. It seems that he no longer dares to despise He Ran.
Zhao Min nodded with satisfaction and said to the others: "What do you think, dear friends?"
Former general Xin Ti echoed: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true, and this is what I calculated as well."
An Xinghou said: "The Minister of War does not want to say anything, but since Yi Guoyun has accepted this marriage, we must explain it to the daughter of the right general as soon as possible, in case we cannot destroy Yi Guo in one fell swoop this time.
, she may be able to play a role in the future that even thousands of troops can't match." The marriage plan was proposed by him, so he paid more attention to this matter.
Zhao Min praised: "Aiqing's plan is a far-sighted one. I'll leave this matter to you."
Xin Ti has always had a friendship with General You. His old friend was fighting against Zhao Kun at the front, but his daughter was tricked into getting married. So he felt unhappy from the beginning. Although he raised objections, he had nothing to do with the king's insistence.
He couldn't help but speak again: "I thought that the wedding could be prepared for a little longer as an excuse. After all, the battle of exchange is just around the corner. If everything goes well, there is no need to make her jump into this pit of fire."
An Xinghou retorted: "Otherwise, I think this matter must be handled quickly. Even if it is not for the future, the current role can be used to show our sincerity in having a good relationship with Yi Guo, which can reassure and confuse his heart."
, Fan Yu may encounter some hardships, but I think it is a sure thing for me to revive the Zhao Kingdom with one person in exchange for it!"
Xin Ti said coldly: "Of course you can be righteous when you push other people's daughters like fire pits. I wonder if the same can be said for calling your own daughter."
Anxing Hou said with emotion: "I will jump into the fire pit for the country and the king, and I will not hesitate at all. What about my children?"
Zhao Min knew the former general's thoughts and consoled him: "This matter will be of great benefit to the country. I have sent someone to explain it in detail to the right general. Please don't have any more injustices with me. This is what Fan Yu's destiny is."
It's difficult. If I want to blame her, I can only blame her for not provoking He Ran at the love party. Maybe this is fate."
Now that the king said so, Xin Ti couldn't say anything else, so he sighed angrily and lowered his head.
Only two days later, a report came from the Yi State: The leader of the army was General Xu Tong.
After hearing the news, Zhao Min felt a little relieved after being disappointed. Finally, he didn't have to face He Ran so soon. It would be much easier to lead the Yi army to attack Xiping. He had to control the Yi army first. The following article
That's it.
Jing Huan was greatly disappointed when he heard the news. Now he wanted to kill He Ran immediately. What happened on the prairie really made him very angry and frustrated. He finally learned the methods of this magical strategist personally.
Previously, he had been looking forward to competing with He Ran on the battlefield and quickly becoming famous all over the world by defeating this man with a halo, but now he didn't want to encounter this evil star again. He could devise a plan to eradicate it.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to let Zhao Guo fight on both sides. Compared with this, he would not be happy even if he lured 50,000 Yi troops, let alone annihilated 10,000 Yi troops.
