Li Ran patted Gong Yan's back gently:
"The matter has come to this, young master, don't be too pessimistic. It's not yet known whether he is still alive or not. It's not too late to investigate more before making a final decision..."
Gongyan couldn't help but still cried back with a slight cry:
"Uncle Nuo..."
Although Gong Yan promised, his tears were still hard to hide.
Li Ran also knew that the tense atmosphere in the past few days, coupled with the fact that his brother's life and death were now uncertain, meant that everyone had to vent.
Therefore, he only patted Gongyan on the back and stopped trying to persuade him.
Gong Yan was sobbing for a while, and then he finally stopped.
Li Ran sighed, quickly got up and went to the inner room. Seeing the bright light in his big eyes that kept turning, he couldn't help but force a smile and said:
"How is it? Are you afraid of Guang'er?"
Although Liguang did not witness this war in person, she was on the battlefield now after all, and it was impossible for her to be unaware of the noise outside.
Liguang held Gong Eryue's hand tightly and shook her head decisively.
"Don't be afraid! With Er Niang and Ah Li here, Liguang is not afraid of anything!"
Li Ran came to the front and gently lifted Gong Eryue's bangs:
"Yue, thank you for your hard work!"
Gong Eryue said:
"Compared to the fact that Sir has been working so hard all day long, what's the point of us hiding here? It's just that the enemy is coming with such ferocity that it really makes people uneasy..."
Li Ran nodded and comforted:
"Well, as long as you survive tonight, you're done!"
Gong Eryue had been following Li Ran for a while, so she knew that Li Ran was capable of making every move.
So after hearing what he said, Gong Eryue couldn't help but ask:
"Could it be...that there will be another fierce battle tonight?"
Li Ran couldn't help but nodded and said:
"That's inevitable. Gongshan Buxiu will definitely make a desperate move and make the final counterattack!"
Gong Eryue sighed:
"Then...it will definitely be another sleepless night!"
At this time, Li Ran stroked Liguang's hair again:
"Guang'er, go to sleep first, and Yue, go and rest for a while. Although the enemy will eventually make a desperate move, I predict that they will do it after the third watch. It's still early, so you can still sleep a little longer."
Gong Eryue nodded, and Li Ran stood up and walked out of the house with Fan Li and Gong Yan.
But Chu Tang was lying at the door at this time, and Gong Yan was sad and restless. He stepped on Chu Tang's calf and almost fell down. It was Fan Li who had quick eyes and quick hands and helped Gong Yan.
Chu Dang got up and found that it was Li Ran and the others. He breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Li Ran took Gong Yan to the corner and said seriously:
"I don't know whether my son will live or die yet. Please take care of me and don't worry too much..."
When Gongyan saw this situation, he could only wipe away his tears and said:
"Thank you uncle for reminding me, Yan'er understands!"
Li Ran patted Gong Yan's shoulder heavily again:
"Go... have a good rest, maybe there will be a fierce battle ahead! No one will be spared!"
Gongyan stopped crying and bowed his hands:
"promise!"
Then Gongyan turned and left. Li Ran watched him go away and sighed deeply:
"Young uncle, why don't you go and close your eyes for a while? It's expected to be fine if you take a nap for a while. Now I'll probably be fine in the middle of the night."
When Fan Li heard this, he felt a little worried and said:
"Why do you see this, sir?"
Li Ran heard this question and analyzed it with him:
"Now the night is dark and unclear, and the rebels have suffered a new defeat, and their morale is low. As the saying goes, you can do it once, you can do it twice, but you can't do it again. Such tired troops must also need time to rest. So, I guess that Gongshan is not ferocious. You will choose to launch the offensive after the rooster crows!"
Fan Li is also very smart and can easily solve the problem:
"Well, what you said makes sense. I think that Gongshan Buxiu must have predicted that we will have a sleepless night tonight, and when Chou Yin meets, we can launch an offensive when everyone's consciousness is weakest and it is close to dawn in the east. , this moment is indeed the most beneficial to him!"
When Li Ran heard this, he nodded and said:
"That's true, so young uncle, you can stay here with me and close your eyes for a while."
"We can also take this opportunity to relieve our fatigue. These past few days have really exhausted our energy."
As Li Ran spoke, he sat directly on the steps, leaned his back against the wall, and closed his eyes.
Seeing that Li Ran was so calm, Fan Li stopped talking and sat down to stay with Li Ran...
I don't know how long it took, and Li Ran didn't know if he fell asleep or not. He always felt that his brain was always awake.
He opened his eyes, but he was still in a daze. Since there was no one on the high platform, there was no way to know how much time had passed.
Li Ran stretched and looked at Fan Li, who woke up Fan Li first. He came to the door again, opened a gap, quietly entered and looked at Gong Eryue and Liguang, who were also sleeping soundly, and then walked away quietly.
Chu Dang, who seemed to have almost rested, was standing outside without saying a word, for fear of disturbing Li Guang.
Li Ran made a gesture to appease Chu Dang and didn't say much to him.
Then Li Ran gave Fan Li a few more instructions and then went up to the top of the platform alone.
At this time, Confucius was sitting quietly at the entrance of the passage. When he heard the movement, he opened his eyes alertly. Seeing that it was Li Ran, he calmed down for a while, then stood up and bowed:
"I've met my benefactor!"
Li Ran returned the favor, then looked up at the starry sky, glanced at the direction of the stars outside, and estimated that it was probably the time of ugliness. He squinted and looked around, but it was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Li Ran joked with Confucius:
"Haha, did Master Kong sleep well this night?"
When Confucius heard this, he also jokingly replied:
"Thanks to Duke En, Qiu will be safe this night."
The two came to the fence and looked at the darkness outside together. They couldn't help but fell into deep thought...
After a while, Li Ran said with emotion:
"Hey...if Chang Qing is here, maybe there is a way to save a lot of trouble!"
In fact, Li Ran also knew that when it came to marching and fighting, although Li Ran was also a good player, to a certain extent, he was still not as good as Sun Wu.
Sun Wu was not only good at using tactics, but what was even more valuable was that he often visited the battlefield in person.
After all, on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. As a coach, if you can visit the battlefield in person, it will be of great benefit to the soldiers' confidence and adaptability.
However, it was obvious that Li Ran could not personally take command.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Li Ran suddenly missed Sun Wu again at this time.
I miss his most handy assistant back then.
