The phoenix pattern is surging

In the morning of the next day, Li Ran was dressing when he saw Ding Shun come in stooping, holding a set of brown leather clothes in his hands. Seeing that he was awake, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, why did you do it yourself? Let the slave Serving is."

Li Ran's subordinates kept moving, and asked calmly, "Where are the others?"

"Just now someone from the capital came to report something important. Don't worry, your majesty will come back when you go." As soon as he said this, but seeing Li Ran's face blushed, he realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly He bowed his head and apologized a few times, and finally asked in fear: "Your Highness, you won't blame the servant?"

He looked timid, and he really didn't say anything outrageous. Li Ran knew that his listener had a heart, and being too angry was hypocritical, so he rubbed his brows and eyes to hide his embarrassment, and pointed to the thing in the boy's hand , asked: "What is this?"

"Hehe, His Majesty specially ordered the craftsmen in the army to rush to make the soft armor. It was made in one night. It is much more comfortable to wear than the iron armor. Waiting for His Highness to try it."

He said "Oh" suspiciously, suddenly became interested, then smiled and waved, and the kid immediately presented the things.

He touched it, and asked in surprise, "Leather armor?"

"Your Highness has good eyesight. It is made of the fur of camel mountain unicorns. The craftsman said it is invulnerable to swords and guns, and it is very strong."

After the kid finished speaking, he picked it up and looked at it carefully, smiled knowingly, and wondered what kind of solo beast it was, it was clearly a rhinoceros, and he bought and sold a few on the black market in his early years.

After trying it on, it was very close-fitting, with neither thin nor thick layer, and there was even room for expansion and contraction of the abdomen. It seemed that a lot of thought was wasted.

He nodded in satisfaction, and Ding Shun helped him put on his outer shirt and silver silk armor, with a bunch of black hair and a strong suit, he was extremely handsome.

The boy stared at him in a daze for a long while, then there was a sound of applause coming from outside the tent, and the man sighed: "Where can I find such a handsome commander?"

"Is the matter over?" He raised his eyebrows, his face unmoved, Jiang Jue approached with a smile, put his arms around the waist of this "handsome commander", and whispered: "I also want to help you!" How about you make a witch hazel coat?"

This was half-truth, half-false, but Li Ran rolled his eyes in displeasure, and said indifferently, "You can wear it yourself if you like."

Jiang Jue laughed, leaned up and kissed his neck, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "I don't care, but you have to take it off."

Li Ran secretly cursed fuck, thinking to himself that this person is so thick-skinned that it is hard to see in his life, but he did not forget the business, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened to Luocheng?"

Jiang Jue was stunned for a moment, then put his arm around his shoulder reassuringly, and said, "I have arrangements for this matter, you don't need to worry about it."

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, grabbed the opponent's hand and asked, "Did you wear the soft armor?"

"kindness."

"How does it feel?"

"good."

He looked calm, Jiang Jue chuckled, and sighed: "In this way, with an extra layer of protection, I can feel more at ease."

Saying so, eyes are full of love.

Li Ran's heart moved, he shook his arm, and finally there was some emotion on his face. When Jiang Jue saw his expression, he immediately hit the snake with the stick, leaned closer and smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, just thank me." Like yesterday..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away, but seeing Li Ran gave him a warning look, he said, "Is everything ready outside?"

Jiang Jue smiled and nodded, looked down at Ding Shun who was waiting at the side, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the meal?"

The boy smiled strangely, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I prepared it early in the morning, and I am waiting for His Highness to get up and wash up."

After finishing speaking, he bent his knees and slapped a thousand times, then sprinted out.

As soon as the time came, the army set out for Linyang, the capital of Danfeng, on time.

On this day, when he arrived at Dingtong Town, which was less than a hundred miles away from Linyang, Jiang Jue received a report from a spy in front, saying that Xiang Qi had transferred all the troops from the border to King Qin, the number of which was no less than 50.

In contrast, Beiye now has less than 25 horses left.

After Jiang Jue considered it again and again, he finally ordered the three armies to stop.

In the big tent, the man dressed in bright yellow stood in front of the map with his hands folded, his brows and eyes slightly frowned, as if he had a serious lawsuit in his mind.

Standing by the long table, Li Ran looked at the terrain of Linyang again and again, and after careful consideration, he said, "It's not impossible to win by force, but I'm afraid the sacrifice is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses in the end."

"Danfeng has Yechu in the east, Guiwu in the south, Qingyuan and Xiping in the west, and Dongyue, which is eye-catching. Whether you win or lose this battle, you must be fully prepared to face the enemy."

Li Zixin said calmly, and Shen Ze responded: "What the marshal said is true, if you fight to the death with Xiang Qi in Danfeng, it is really not the best strategy."

That pedantic young general had a straight face, Li Ran was provoked into laughter, and jokingly asked: "Then, in your opinion, what is the best strategy?"

Shen Ze stared at the map on the table, cupped his hands after a moment of contemplation, and said, "This subordinate dares to say that if there is anything wrong, I hope the commander-in-chief can correct me."

"Okay, you say."

"Once Danfeng is broken, everyone in the other countries will be in danger. In order to protect their own safety, Yechu, Guiwu, Qingyuan and Xiping will not sit still and wait for death."

When he said this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Once Danfeng is conquered, heavy troops must be guarded at the gate leading to Xiping; Karing in the south is not very powerful, and although Guiwu is a small country, it has Dongyue backing it, so it has to be guarded."

When he said this, he pointed out a very difficult problem: Danfeng's location was too special, surrounded by many neighboring countries, the slightest disturbance would likely cause all countries to attack.

What's more, there are powerful enemies like Xiping and Dongyue.

Li Ran nodded, patted Shen Ze on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "The analysis is very good, as expected of our Professor Shen."

When Shen Ze was praised by him, his face turned red, and his wise and intelligent appearance was swept away just now, but Yan Wenbin snorted coldly and said: "According to the general's opinion, don't worry too much, go directly to the city, Make another plan!"

Li Zixin shook his head, and said: "It is inevitable to take Linyang, but you must not be reckless, otherwise you may only get in but not out."

"Zixin's words are justified. This battle can only be taken by chance, not recklessly. Preserving strength is the best policy."

This clever choice of two words made everyone look embarrassed.

The outskirts of Linyang City are sandy land, and there is no place to lay an ambush around. It is really not an easy task to rely on such terrain to win the many with the few, and even reserve the spare power to deal with the incoming armies from all over the world.

What kind of plan Xiang Qi chose to abandon the border town and join forces with the whole country to deal with Bei Ye, everyone couldn't guess for a while.

After a long silence, the emperor turned his back to face the crowd, with a deep and ruthless light in his eyes, he only glanced at them lightly, and said in a deep voice: "We will discuss this matter the next day, everyone will go down."

Li Zixin was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that the emperor would give up at this juncture, but seeing his secretive face, and the fact that everyone couldn't think of a good way to deal with it, he nodded and signaled everyone to disperse with his eyes. up.

Waiting for the crowd to disperse, Jiang Jue let out a cold snort, and said: "We missed a move in chess, but Xiping took the lead!"

Hearing this, Li Ran felt puzzled, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and asked, "What does this have to do with him?"

"If he hadn't been a hindrance, how would Xiang Qi have the guts to withdraw the army guarding Shiyan?"

Li Ran nodded clearly, and said, "It seems that Xiping's stake is not small."

"A lifeless thing! Originally, I wanted to keep him alive, but now it seems..."

The words were silent before finishing, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Li Ran took a sip of his tea and said, "It's still the same sentence, you can't take advantage of recklessness. Of course, he can do things like massacre a city, and he Xiang Qi is really not a thing."

"Slaughter the city? Slaughter the city! By the way! Why didn't I think of it?"

Jiang Jue got up abruptly, stomped while muttering, and was the last one to stand still. He looked at Li Ran with joy, with a full smile in his eyes, and sighed, "It's really a word that awakens the dreamer! If the plan is successful, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

He has always been calm, and rarely looks so frivolous. Li Ran rolled his eyes secretly, and was about to ask, Jiang Jue had already lifted the curtain and left in a hurry. It took about a stick of incense before his eyes were full of joy Coming back quickly, he was studying the topographic map in his hand at that time, when he was suddenly hugged from behind, and when he looked back, he saw the man in the bright yellow dragon robe was looking at him with eyes full of affection, which made him He was a little confused by Monk Zhang Er.

"So happy, have you thought of a way?"

"Hehe, there is indeed a plan to defeat the enemy, do you want to know?"

"Whatever you want." With a lack of interest on his face, Jiang Jue naturally knew when enough was enough, bowed his head and kissed the picturesque eyebrows, leaned into his ear and whispered: "If you are willing... Ten to ten in detail."

Li Ran was silent, his temples had already started to throb, but he heard the skinless man laughing in a deep voice, put his hands on his waist and hips, hugged him with all his strength, and said as he walked, "What's the matter with that shit?" Look good? Let's go to bed early, so we can't hurt my emperor's son."

Li Ran almost resisted the urge to give him a slap, let the scoundrel carry him to the couch, then rolled over on top of him, leaned close to him and said in a low voice, "Who do you think the emperor looks more like when he grows up?"

"do not know."

"Hehe, I hope to be like you."

"It doesn't matter."

"How can it be indifferent? This is our child!"

He deliberately bit the word "we" very hard, Li Ran blushed, cursed secretly, closed his eyes and ignored it, Jiang Jue smiled silently, reached into the hem of his clothes, and touched the slightly raised belly, sighed: "I really wish he would come out soon."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, pried open the lips and teeth of the person under him, and began to swallow slowly.

Li Ran didn't respond at first, but was aroused after a while. He put his arms around the other's head, and stuck out his tongue to deepen the kiss.

After the kiss was over, the two of them calmed down after panting for a while.

After all, Jiang Jue was still a little rational. After hesitating again and again, he finally turned over, hugged him from behind, and said softly: "You haven't slept well these days, I won't mess with you anymore, go to sleep earlier."

Such thoughtfulness is really unseen and unheard of, how can he not be stunned?

He laughed, closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Ran was awakened by the sound of conversation, but he heard someone ask in a deep voice, "Has the news spread?"

"The minister has followed His Majesty's instructions and asked spies from all over the place to let the news go out, and some people took the lead in making troubles. I think there will be an answer in the near future."

Hearing the voice, it was obviously Qu Lie.

"Well done. In this way, there is no need to rush to attack Linyang. Pass down the order and let the three armies rectify and wait for the attack. If there is no commander-in-chief order, no one can act rashly. Otherwise, there will be no mercy."

These words became more and more cold in the end, and the other person responded in a deep voice.

Li Ran listened for a while in the inner room, heard the inside story clearly, and was thinking about it by himself, when Ding Shun came in with the meal lightly, he saw him lying on the couch with his eyes open, busy on his waist Come forward and ask cautiously, "Your Highness is awake?"

He nodded, got up from the couch with both hands, glanced at the bright yellow gilt porcelain cup in the food box, frowned, and said, "Why is it still that thing?"

Ding Shun followed his line of sight, and quickly apologized with a smile: "It's a good prescription for calming the nerves and nourishing the body prescribed by Mr. Li. Your Highness has suffered every night for the past few nights. If you don't nourish yourself, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ran waved his hands impatiently and said, "Take it away!"

Just as he was talking, Jiang Jue opened the curtain and came in with a smile on his face.
