In Chita City, inside a huge ancient castle, Ran Zhong and Zuo Zongtang sat separately.

Just now, Ran Zhong led Zuo Zongtang to take a turn inside, and the area inside is also very large, with all kinds of patterns and forms of living rooms, and there are also some rooms that are completely traditional Han culture.

Now, the room where the two of them are seated is one of them.

The two have now begun to call each other brothers.

In terms of official position and age, Zuo Zongtang is the top.

But Ran Min is a descendant of a hero and a landlord, and Zuo Zongtang respects him very much.

Therefore, after some pushing, the two decided to make friends on an equal footing, Zuo Zongtang was the elder brother, and Ran Zhong was the younger brother.

The two continued to remember the deeds of Ran Zhong's ancestors.

Since Zuo Zongtang had infinite admiration for Ran Min, he strongly asked Ran Zhong to tell him the specific situation of his ancestors.

It turned out that Ran Min had been a loyal martyr since his father's generation.

Ran Min's father, Ran Zhan, was born in the beggar rebel army, which was famous all over the world at that time.

The Begging Rebels were a group of displaced people who were active in the north and south of the Yellow River from the end of the Western Jin Dynasty to the Dongpu Dynasty, fighting against the Hu and fighting for survival. Ran Zhan was captured by Zhao during a battle, and died a few days after succumbing to his injuries.

Shi Le, the lord of the Zhao Kingdom, admired Ran Chen, who was the champion of the three armies, and saw that his son, Ran Min, who was eleven or twelve years old at the time, was smart and clever, so he recognized Xiao Ran Min as his grandson and renamed him Shi Min, and brought him up single-handedly.

The strength of the enemy made Ran Min only bury his hatred deep in his heart, endure the grief in his heart and please Shile.

As an adult, Ran Min was brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly made meritorious achievements in the battles between Zhao and Xianbei, and gradually became a senior general of the Zhao Empire.

In 349 AD, Emperor Shi Hu of Zhao died.

After his death, more than a dozen of his sons killed each other.

In the first month of 350 AD, Shi Min announced that he would revert to his surname Ran Min and kill Shi Jian, the emperor of Zhao Zhao. At the same time, he killed Shi Hu's thirty-eight grandsons, wiped out the Shi clan, and destroyed the brutal and invincible Zhao Empire in one fell swoop.

Later, Ran Min was the emperor, the year name was Yongxing, the country name was Dawei, and the history was called Ran Wei.

Ran Min ordered the gates of Yedu to be opened. All the six Yi, including the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Di, Qiang, and Bayi, live with the same heart as the officials, and those who do not have the same heart as they can do.

Overnight, the Han people within a radius of hundreds of miles, helping the old and the young, all poured into Yecheng.

And the Qianhu and Liuyi foreigners, who have always taken Yecheng as their nest, pushed the cart to carry the burden and ran out desperately.

Ran Min believes that these Hu people are not my race after all. His heart must be different, and it has always been the bane of the endless wars in the Central Plains, so he issued the famous "Killing Hu Order" in history.

The content of this order is: "All the six Yihu people inside and outside, those who dare to hold troops will be killed!"

This is in fact an order for indiscriminate massacres.

It is said that the Hu people only kill the Hu people who hold the war, but do the Hu people have any people who do not hold the war?

For all Hu people, the war is a part of their body!

Therefore, this order is tantamount to sending all the Hu people to the guillotine!

In order to encourage everyone to kill Hu bravely, Ran Min encouraged Hu killers. It is clearly declared that the Han people beheaded a Hu person and sent it to Fengyangmen. The civil official is promoted to the third class, and the military position is worshiped in the East Yamen.

For a time, the Han people in Yedu City took up arms to chase and kill the Hu people, and Ran Min personally led his troops to kill the Hu people around Yecheng, beheading more than 200,000 people in three days, and the corpses were all over the field.

At the same time, Ran Min also threatened to withdraw from the Central Plains. "To each his own country", otherwise they will all be wiped out.

The Hu were deeply afraid that their fate would be like the Qi and the White Nu, and formed an alliance to besiege the Ran Wei regime repeatedly. In the face of the crazy counterattack of the Hu coalition army, Ran Min responded calmly.

In the first battle, the Han cavalry broke through the murderous slave camp with 3,000 nights, killing several enemy generals. Chase a hundred miles, behead 30,000 murderous slaves!

Fight again with 5,000 Han cavalry and 70,000 Hu cavalry!

In the third war, the Han army of 70,000 plus 40,000 beggars broke the Hu coalition army of more than 300,000!

The four battles were defeated first and then won, and 40,000 were beheaded by 10,000 people!

In the fifth war, the Han army of 60,000 was almost completely annihilated, and the Qiang and Di coalition forces were almost wiped out by more than 100,000!

In the sixth battle in Yecheng, with one or two thousand Han cavalry just organized, the Hu army that came from afar was defeated by 70,000!

The Han people in various places revolted in response, and began to massacre millions of Hu people in the Central Plains, and the history records that "no moon and no war, attacking each other", and recovering Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Gansu, Xixia and other places in one fell swoop.

Forced by the threat of force from Ran Min and the Han army in the Central Plains, millions of people from Di, Qiang, Xiongnu, and Xianbei withdrew from Middle Earth and returned to their original places of residence in Longxi or Hetao grasslands, and some Hu even moved back to their hometowns in Central Asia thousands of miles away.

On the way back, the Hu people of these different nationalities attacked each other, plundered each other, grabbed food, and even cannibalized each other, and only two or three of the ten people who managed to return were successful.

When Zhu rebelled in China, only four or five million Han people in the north were slaughtered, and there were more than 20 million before!

The main murderers were the Slave Slaves and the Caucasian people, who originated from the Caucasus Mountains to the Black Sea steppe region of Eastern Europe.

Ran Min annihilated Zhao and annihilated more than 300,000 Hu soldiers who were mainly slaves.

Ran Min later slaughtered more than 200,000 of the Qiang people in Yecheng, coupled with the revenge massacres in all provinces and parts of the country, the Qiang and the fierce slaves were basically wiped out in the bloody national revenge.

So far, two of Shi Hu's fourteen sons were executed by himself, six were killed by cannibalism, five were exterminated by Ran Min, and one defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was beheaded in the market, and all died unexpectedly.

Shi Le, who recognized Ran Min as his godgrandson, did not expect that twenty years later, this child who was raised by him when he was eleven or twelve years old would one day revert to his surname Ran, exterminate the entire Ran clan, and kill his children and grandchildren cleanly, leaving no one behind.

Although Ran Min was later killed by the Xianbei people, his struggle saved the Chinese nation.

After Ran Min's death, his descendants hid their names incognito and avoided the revenge of those Hu people, and it was not until Ran Zhong's generation that they regained their original surname.

As for how Ran Min was defeated and captured and killed, Ran Zhong did not say, nor did he find a bunch of reasons for the ancestors.

Similarly, Zuo Zongtang didn't ask questions, because those were all trivial.

There is only one thing, Ran Min actually stopped the massacre of the Han people by those relatively backward Hu people, which is an incomparable achievement!

And in the same period, no one else has done this kind of Cheng dù, which is worthy of my Zuo Zongtang's admiration!

"Then Brother Chengxian, what do you want to do in the future?" Zuo Zongtang asked.

"Brother Ji Gao! My ambition has never changed! My ancestor Min is a hero of the world, and I will never be a bear! My ancestor resolutely killed Hu in order to protect the Han Dynasty at that time, and I want to meet the wind and clouds and take down this almost barren land, or return it to the Han Dynasty, or run it myself, as a barrier for the Han Dynasty!"

"Brother Chengxian's ambitions are lofty, and the foolish brother admires him!, but there is one thing that is not clear, Brother Shang Xixian solves the doubt!" Zuo Zongtang asked, what he was most worried about was that this brother would keep in mind the historical hatred and come up with another order to kill Hu.

That would have to be messed up.

"Big brother, please speak, little brother, I will definitely know everything and say everything!" Ran Zhong assured cheerfully.

"How do you deal with the descendants of all ethnic groups in the territory, and even more outsiders from other places, especially the people in the range of the Virtuous Brother's Ancestor Shahu Ling, especially the people who killed his old man and then chased you in every possible way?" Zuo Zongtang directly kicked out the question.

Ran Zhong was silent.

It's not that he hasn't thought about these issues, and it's not that he hasn't made a decision in his heart, but now he still hesitates, and it's hard to assert.

Intellectually, he could never base his policy on the hatreds of history, and emotionally it would be difficult for him to completely forgive the descendants of these enemies.

What's especially complicated is that even if he wanted to go around them, would they be able to go around him?

What's even more troublesome is that he can't protect himself!

The Celestial Armies are still tracking him!

Although he decided to throw off his tail, and at the same time felt that the castle guards and ancient castles of Chita were almost impregnable and should be safe, but the caution he often cultivated in the state of being chased still made him feel that he had not really escaped the pursuit!

It's a mess!

Originally, he wanted to join this international column, go to the Central Plains to visit his homeland, find some opportunities, and make some capital, preferably to find some powerful forces, form alliances or something, and accumulate some capital for the next step of taking this vast region.

Where did you think that stealing chickens and rice would not be lost, and the reinforcements would not be caught, but a powerful enemy would be provoked!

This enemy is too strong too!

The teammates of his international column all have the combat power of the hegemon, but they were destroyed by the heavenly army like chopping melons and vegetables!

Fortunately, he was clever and saw that the situation was not good, and he slipped away, so he saved half of his troops!

With such a powerful ally, the occupation of the entire region is not just around the corner?

For a while, I thought of it!

"Brother Chengxian?" Zuo Zongtang saw Ran Zhong's soul flying out of the sky, and there was no feedback for a long time, so he reminded him, but he didn't know that this little brother was working hard at this time, and his thoughts had already floated out of 108,000 miles like a fighting cloud.

"Oh!" Ran Zhong remembered that he hadn't replied to the eldest brother's question yet, and seemed a little rude, so he hurriedly said: "This question is more complicated, I just want to be more, and the eldest brother forgives!" I think my original intention is not to regard them as enemies, but to invite them to participate in the recovery and management of this area, but if they are not willing to reconcile, they have to take one step at a time!"

Zuo Zongtang listened, and there was no better solution, so he had to promise that he would try to help in this regard.

When Ran Zhong heard this, he was very happy, and felt that the biggest gain from this trip to the Central Plains was to get the help of his eldest brother.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Chita City, the three-way army of the Heavenly Army has been gathered.

This is Wei Changhui's pursuers, the Genden troops of the Desert Alliance, and the reinforcements brought by Mike, mainly the cavalry of Roshande!

Roshande's cavalry was not all dispatched, this time only 100,000 were dispatched, but they were all the most elite warriors!

In addition, the mercenaries of the Dongying Island Country and the mercenaries of the Stick Country under his management also came with 10,000 people each.

Mai Ke called everyone together and announced: "The battle for the recovery of Siberia begins now!"

The warring sides have a common goal, which is unique in the history of warfare!.
