Chapter 61: The Son Acts Like the Father (Part 1)
In the setting sun, Qulanguan looks even more majestic and majestic.
Although it has been cleaned, the blood stains and slash marks left by last night's fierce battle can still be seen everywhere.
The faces of the soldiers were filled with joyful smiles. When Xu Tong came out to greet them, they were all smiling from ear to ear. No wonder everyone was so happy. If we attack this natural danger, the number of casualties will be extremely unpredictable. Will the bad luck come? It's hard to say for myself, but now I have taken it off easily and skillfully, which is really an unexpected surprise.
Accompanied by Xu Tong, He Ran slowly climbed up to the pass along the horse road. The pass was originally built on the middle of the mountain. Coupled with the height of the city wall, looking down was dizzying. At this moment, He Ran felt in his heart I couldn't help but secretly call myself lucky.
Xu Tong whispered beside him: "The result is still the result of persuading Lord Tianhe to surrender, you see..." [
He Ran looked at Qu Lancheng, who had a panoramic view, and said: "Where is Bai Jun? He also invited his brother here, I want to praise him well."
Xu Tong saw a hint of impatience on his brows, obviously unhappy about the mention of Tianhe Gong, so he followed his words and said: "These two brothers have helped a lot this time, and I also want to reward them well. However, the two of them had great integrity. Not only did they not want to be officials, they did not even accept the reward. They just wanted to pick up their families in Qulan City and then go back to farm. At this time, the two of them, together with some garrison guards, went to Qulan City to persuade them to surrender. Not here."
He Ran glanced at Yi Jun's barracks at the foot of Qulan City and asked, "Do you think this brother is a talented person?"
Xu Tong said with approval: "They are all rare talents. Although Bai Jun lives in the mountains and fields, he has extraordinary bearing, courage and knowledge. His brother is a general, able to convince people, has prestige, and is meticulous in his actions. Last night he was The internal response measures were very appropriate, otherwise the victory would not have been so smooth."
He Ran said: "If a person is willing to sacrifice his life to fulfill his filial piety, then this person will not be far behind. Since you appreciate their talents, let's try our best to retain them. We have to send someone to deliver a message to the camp. If the persuasion to surrender is successful, don’t let these two brothers pick up their families and leave without saying goodbye.”
Xu Tong said with a smile: "I really didn't expect this. You have enough tricks up your sleeve." Then he turned around and ordered someone to pass on the order.
"Where are Dongfang Ao's troops arranged?" He Ran looked around and asked.
Xu Tong pointed to the back of the pass and said: "Set up camp twenty miles ahead and form a corner with us to prevent the enemy from deploying troops to counterattack and seize the pass."
He Ran nodded with satisfaction, Xu Tong and Dongfang Ao were both reliable people, and good generals who had fought through many tough battles would not make mistakes easily.
Glancing at the setting sun, the impatience on He Ran's brows appeared again, and he turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll go see him."
Xu Tong understood that he was referring to Lord Tianhe. He opened his mouth, and then swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. He could understand He Ran's mood at the moment, and wanted to help share this trouble, but he really didn't know what to do. What should be done properly, so I had to let this good brother solve it himself.
The government office was completely surrounded, and the setting sun was still shining. The soldiers besieging the government office had already begun to prepare lanterns and candles. No one could escape from the formation.
Some Tianhe Gong's soldiers were guarding the wall, but they looked quite lazy and depressed. The power gap between the enemy and us was too great. If Yi Jun attacked, they had no power to fight back. They were just pretending at this moment.
The soldiers on both sides vaguely guessed that it would not end in a fight, so there was no tense atmosphere, which would inevitably lead to misunderstandings and accidents. No one inside the wall held a bow, and even the swords were sheathed, and so were the surrounding Yi troops. in this way.
Under the protection of the soldiers holding shields, He Ran, who was wearing soft armor, walked a few feet away from the door. Hong An said loudly: "Mr. Xiaoyao is here! Please come to Mr. Tianhe to meet him!" He knew the military advisor's thoughts, so The wording is neither soft nor hard.
Hearing the shout, an excited response came from the wall: "Military Advisor! I am Jin Yun, please give me an interview with the Military Advisor!"
He Ran raised his voice and said: "Come out."
The door opened a crack, and Jin Yun stepped out, holding out his hands to show that he was not carrying a weapon. He walked slowly to a place about ten feet away from He Ran, bowed and saluted: "Meet the military advisor."
He Ran waved his hand and said: "Come closer and speak, and I doubt anyone will doubt you." [
Jin Yun then walked up to him and looked at He Ran. There were tears in the eyes of this iron-blooded man, and he choked up and said: "This is the military advisor, the young master and his wife have been buried in peace. The villain and all the brothers would like to take care of everything. There was not the slightest mistake, and finally the young master and his wife did not suffer any grievances after their death. Please don't think about it, military advisor."
Hearing what he said, He Ran's nostrils were flaring and his voice was trembling, "Thank you for your help, I should have..." At this point, he couldn't go on. He paused for a while, and then continued: "The gift of burial. I made a note of it, and I will repay you later. If you don’t keep watch, why are you here?"
Jin Yun said sadly: "The military advisor has already said that this is our responsibility. How dare we take credit? I came back to report the funeral arrangements to the master and his wife. I originally wanted to go back to watch the funeral after the report was completed, but it happened that the king sent the master When you go to war, the villain will follow you."
He Ran said softly "Oh".
"Military advisor..., well...someone has already gone in to report. I should be out soon." Jin Yun's expression seemed to have a thousand words to say, but all he said was this unimportant sentence, and he couldn't help but sigh. He took a breath. He felt very unhappy in his heart. The master was the reason why the young master was forced to commit suicide. He did not dare to complain, but he was always dissatisfied in his heart. But seeing that the master was in danger, he did not hesitate to do anything. He was desperately trying to save his life, and now he wanted to plead with He Ran, but although he kept claiming that he was a brother, in the final analysis, he was just a slave, and the status gap was too great. Logically, he had no right to speak, and besides, he couldn't speak well. It would also damage the master's reputation, so he held back and said nothing more.
He Ran could understand his mood and said warmly: "You don't have to worry, I won't embarrass my old master. After this matter is settled, you should go and watch the young master's funeral."
Jin Yun said gratefully: "Thank you so much, military advisor. As soon as I am safe, I will kindly ask you to go to the funeral."
