Chapter 18 Ran Xingguo's chaos makes the fox a respectful title

Tracing the history of Ran Xingguo, it can be traced back to nearly 200 years ago.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the sea was Lingchi, the world was the Ran family of Tianshui Rongren, there was a heroic man at that time, named Ran Jian, his people were brave and healthy, saw the war in the world, in order to protect themselves, he led his troops to move into the Qiuchi Mountain in Wudu (now one hundred and twenty miles west and south of Gansu).

Qiu Chishan can be said to be the heart of Ran Xingguo.

This mountain is back to Shu face Qin, the steep is extremely dangerous and solid, the wall stands a hundred thousand, its shape is like a turtle, the upper soil is lower and the stone is lowered, there are a hundred hectares of flat fields on the top of the mountain, a big spring at a glance, and there is soil that can be boiled salt. In short, one husband guards the way, ten thousand people do not go, fertile land, water and salt are self-produced, and honest feng shui treasure.

Since Ran Xing occupied the Qiuchi area, although the center of military and political affairs has not always been in Qiuchi Mountain, whenever he encounters a setback, the last stronghold of his ruling group to retreat must be this mountain, and every time he can take advantage of this to take a breather.

At the time of the Qin and Cheng Ding Revolutions, Ran Jian's descendants called themselves the kings of Baiqing, and they also participated in the chaotic war in the northwest region, but because of their small power, they could only play a dependent role.

In the present dynasty, in the late Western Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong Rong rebelled, but the Ran family did not mix much, and Ran Sheng, who was a large rate at the time, only called himself the general of the auxiliary country and the king of the right sage, and waited and watched the situation. At this time, although Ran Xing had not yet established the country, Ran Sheng could be said to be the founder of the Ran Xing regime.

Just as there was a great turmoil at home, many Guanlong refugees flocked to the relatively rich and stable Qiu Chi, Ran Sheng did not refuse, recruited heroes, and those who wanted to leave after coming, he did not stop them, gave them the passage fee, and sent people to escort them away. These measures won him a good reputation, not only all the Qunrong in the Qiu Chi area were subjugated, but also many Tang people defected, and the power of the Ran clan grew rapidly. At the same time, Ran Sheng also respected the crumbling Western Tang Dynasty, and was worshiped as a hussar general and the right virtuous king. These two worships are of great significance, representing that the Ran clan has been recognized by the Western Tang Dynasty court and included in the ranks of vassal ministers. Although Ran Sheng is a Hu person, he is really an outstanding person with far-sighted vision.

Later, the Xiongnu Zhao clan rose up and attacked Qiuchi.

Ran Sheng's eldest son, Ran Hong, saw that the Zhao clan was strong and knew that he was invincible, so he led his clan and tribe to flee south into Bashu. When he arrived in Shu, he bribed Li You, a powerful minister of Shu, with a lot of money, and won the support of Shu. After the Zhao clan retreated, Ran Hong also rejected Wudu, and immediately rebelled against Shu and occupied the Yinping land south of Wudu. Li You regretted being deceived and commanded the troops to beg for it, but he was defeated and killed. Ran Hong attacked Qiu Chi and defeated the town generals left by the Xiongnu Zhao clan and killed him. Ran Hong defeated the Shu State first, and then killed the Hun generals, the majesty was shocked, and the local Rong people and Tang people called it "difficult enemy", but with the name of "Xing", the official founding of the country.

Since the founding of Ran Xing, it has been nearly a hundred years, with natural dangers, foreign enemies are not easy to enter, but because Ran is difficult to fight, the country is in endless civil strife, the Ran family clan competes for the throne, the uncle kills the nephew, the brother kills the brother, cannibalism, almost no peace, but also makes them unable to expand.

Because the Rong people in Ranxing are numerous, and most of these Rong people still retain the background of tribal forms, the administrative structure in Ranxing is different from other separatist forces, they do not adopt counties and counties, but implement the town and garrison system with the "protector army" as the chief. Zhurong, including the Ran people and subordinate tribes, and the Tang people who migrated to the local area were 20 protectors, each of which was a town and a county, and there were no counties.

On the third day of Pumao's withdrawal back to Xianyang, Ko Shuo, Fan Dan and other troops crossed the river, and the Daxia Protector Army, Xingtang Protector Army, Wushi Protector Army and other troops on the southeastern edge of Longzhou were all in the army, and there were soldiers temporarily recruited a few days ago, totaling more than 20,000 foot cavalry, raiding Ranxing, fighting for more than ten days, first taking several counties of Longxi County bordering Puqin and Dingxi, and then laying down four guard towns in the northwest of Ranxing.

Now the ruling Ran Xing monarch is named Ran Tong, his throne was taken from his son, the political situation in the country was already very chaotic, hearing that Pu Qin was coming, he barely joined forces to the outside world, suddenly Pu Qin withdrew his troops, just relaxed his vigilance, and suddenly heard that Dingxi was killed, and Ran Tong was afraid of his name, and immediately panicked, and was ready to see that the situation was not good, and he was ready to escape into the enemy's pool.

But at this time, a decree from the Dingxi Imperial Court came down to the Koji Shuo army.

The purpose is a secret order, Koji Shuo received the order, looked at it himself, summoned the generals, and decided to withdraw from the army.

Seeing that a big victory is in sight, Fan Dan and the others can't defeat Qiu Chishan this time, at least the two counties of Wudu and Yinping in Ranxing can be defeated for most of them, where are they willing to retreat at this time? Bitter admonition. Koji Shuo valued the celebrities of his clan, so he retired from the generals and showed the secret decree to read with him.

There are only two words on the secret decree: quick return.

Yan Dan looked up in surprise and said, "Why are there only these two words?" Thinking of something, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Could it be?" ”

Yan Dan and Koji Shuo, big eyes to small eyes, no one dared to say what came to mind.

The secret purpose of the word "quick return" was also sent to Xin Er's hands.

Xin Er is far away from the sea of sand, but this order to Xin Er is one day earlier than the time it was delivered to Koji Shuo.

In order to prevent Ran Xing from pursuing, Ko Shuo personally returned to the palace, and the three armies slowly retreated.

When the soldiers crossed the Yellow River and arrived at the first county in the west, Daxia County, Xin Er had already returned from Shuofang and entered the desert.

Xin Er's troops are all cavalry, the marching speed is fast, he left unnecessary baggage and wounded are left behind to follow, with only the elite soldiers day and night, because it is Koji Shuo over the Great Xia, and through the Xingtang Dynasty, has not yet arrived in Huanghe County, but only 200 miles, and Xin Er has traveled more than 500 miles, crossed the Wenchi, and returned to the border of Longzhou.

The soldiers crossed the Huang River and returned to Tangxing, and Xin Er was close to Pig Noze.

Thousands of miles of sand and sea, at the cost of a large number of horses at the expense of exhaustion, the return journey took less than seven days.

Departing in mid-August, return to the royal capital of Guyin, mid-September.

It was nearly a month before and after, half of the time was in the desert, half of the time was in the war, especially in the past few days when I came back, time was tight, and Xin Er couldn't take care of himself at all.

When he returned to the royal capital and entered the palace, he was dirty all over his body, his beard was messy, his hair had not been washed for several days, and he was so dirty that it became a lock, and if he spread his hair in a bun, he didn't need to clean it up, and he could make it into a pigtail like a Xianbei person.

Halfway down the road, Xin Er received another royal order, telling him to enter the palace immediately after he returned to the capital.

Therefore, he didn't even have time to settle the soldiers and horses in person, so he arrived in Guyin, so he hurried to Lingjuntai.

After the briefing, Chen Sun came out to greet him.

Chen Sun's face was heavy, with a deep sense of worry.

As the two walked towards the palace, Xin Er asked, "After receiving the king's order, I will return to the teacher immediately." The king's order is so urgent, but the Lord? ”

Chen Sun nodded and said, "You came back just in time." The king summoned Song Gong and others to see him, and Song Gong and others had just arrived. ”

Pan Dan, Koji Shuo, and Xin Er were right.

Linghu Feng's injury worsened, and these days he fell into a coma almost as he did when he was injured, and he woke up in less than half an hour a day, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that his life was not long. I think the spirit of the previous days is okay, and it should be a brief return to the light.

Half an hour ago, Linghu Feng woke up from a coma and summoned Song Hong, the great farmer Sun Yan, the lieutenant Lu Shuang, the Mufu Beijia Song Fang, the Mufu Zhizhong Fankuan, as well as Cao Fei, the right chief of the Governor's Mansion Zhang Seng Cheng, and the Kingdom Fu Zhang Hun and other important civil and military ministers.

From the time he first woke up to the present, he had never summoned so many courtiers at one time, such as that Zhang Hun, he only summoned his father and son once except for Zhang Daojiang's sons, and did not summon him once at other times.

Chen Sun deduced that maybe he was going to be orphaned.

Enter Linghufeng's dormitory.

Song Hong and the others have already arrived, and there are eleven people in total.

In addition to the three chiefs of the Inner History, Sanqing, the Pastoral Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, and the Kingdom Fu, there is also the right Sima Tang Ai of the Governor's Mansion, and Zhang Daojiang, a friend of the prince who has just taken office. More than a dozen people worshiped under Ling Hufeng's bed, listening to what Ling Hufeng said.

Xin Er and Chen Sun each found their own shifts and worshiped the crowd.

Xin Er didn't know what Linghu Feng was talking to Song Hong and the others, but only heard his last question: "Qing and the others will follow the ceremony, and handle it quickly!" ”

Song Hong and others bowed down and were speechless for a long time.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

Xin Er said in his heart: "What did Linghu Feng say?" Song Hong: Why didn't they respond? ”

Ling Hufeng coughed as if his lungs were about to cough out, and he asked intermittently, "Didn't you hear Lone's order?" Why don't they speak one by one! …… Song Hong, leave this matter to you! ”

Song Hong clasped his head and said, "The minister dares to ask the king to think twice!" ”

Linghu Feng was furious and said, "What are you thinking? Determined to be alone! Captivity of Qin, capture of Wei, Hu Shunshang dare to arrogate his claims, alone in response to the mandate of heaven, all the people look up, is it not even as good as the Hu people? Self-ascended to the throne, the country is getting stronger and stronger, Dingxi prestige, far away from the thieves, Agua first for the lonely Rouran, Koji Shuo for the lonely Longxi, Ran Xing, Wang Shi everywhere, invincible! It is enough to see that the destiny of heaven clocks me!

"When you are alone, the red light is all over the sky, and you are the son of heaven! This Son of Heaven was given to me by God, and Lao Tzu should be decided! ”

Song Hong, Pan Kuan and other manpower admonished.

He was sincere and sincere, and said bitterly: "My country can stand on the border, the environment is the enemy, and the people who resist the world with the land of one state are not only because of the heroism of the previous kings, but also because of the Tang Zhengshuo of our country and the hearts of the people of Longdi. The king, if he is called a honorable title, the ministers are afraid that the soldiers will not be convinced, the people will be scattered, and the country will die! ”

"What morale? Which one is not convinced? You tell Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu killed him! Linghu Feng saw Xin Er and Chen Sun, pointed at them, and asked, "Lao Tzu wants to be the emperor, what do you two say?" For or against? ”

Chen Sun was afraid to speak.

Only then did Xin Er know what Linghu Feng was talking to Song Hong and the others, and he thought in his heart: "What Yan Kuan said is very true. Longzhou is surrounded by enemies, so the continuation of the present, one is the previous kings of Dingxi, quite important to the people's livelihood, and the other is because Dingxi is still called Tang Chen, so it is able to maintain the hearts of the people. If you claim to be the emperor, chaos will start from now on! In terms of career, the Fox clan only defended Longzhou, and there was no special great achievement in destroying the enemy country and subduing Xia Tu, why do you dare to be the emperor? You can be called emperor, and others can be called emperor! This is a must-do! ”

Xin Er learned from Chen Sun, bowed his head silently.

Linghu Feng said: "If you don't speak, you just support?" Asked Lu Shuang, Cao Fei, Song Fang, Zhang Hun, Zhang Daojiang and others, "What about you?" ”

With Cao Fei's recklessness, he also knew that this matter was impossible, but under the obscenity of Linghu Feng's coercion, none of them had the courage to speak. Thinking about that Linghu Feng, maybe he will be angry in the next moment, at this time, why touch his moldy head? In case he is furious and dragged out and killed by the armor soldiers outside the palace he called, who will he call for injustice?

"Excellent! You're all supportive! Linghu Feng said to Song Hong and Yan Kuan, "The sages of the court and the central government, all gathered here today, all support Lonely." Are you two still disobedient? Song Hong! Immediately hold an enthronement ceremony with the ceremonial officer for the orphan. Lonely will ascend the throne tomorrow, tomorrow will ascend the throne! ”

Song Hong and Yan Kuan were also afraid that Linghu Feng would die, so they simply broke the jar and killed them, but they had no choice but to accept the order.

Song Hong asked: "When the king ascends the throne, he must have a national name. Dare to ask the king, what is the number? ”

After hearing no reply for a while, everyone had the courage to look up, and saw that Ling Hufeng's eyes were closed tightly and his face was pale, but he had fainted. Chen Sun hurriedly called the medical officer in. Four or five medical officers were in a hurry for a long time, and Ling Hu Feng took a breath and woke up.

Song Hong asked again, "What is the name of the country"?

Linghu Bong was delirious, and his mind came to mind the days when he was in Inozawa.

Those days were the most difficult times in his life.

The beautiful water of the pig field, the meadow and the desert after the snow, and the warm tent, the bald red slave and his son and daughter appeared in turn.

Xin Er returned to the horse to save the order of Hule; and Cao Fei and Xin Er to kill the red slave; Koji Shuo led the troops to arrive and defeated Guo Baiju and Suo Chong; Killed back to the royal capital, so that Hu Yong was victimized by Guo Yi's believers, and the ministers surrendered when they heard the news; Ascend to the throne, full of spirit, grand ambitions, and satisfaction.

He closed his eyes and muttered, "Inonozawa." ”

Song Hong and the others didn't hear clearly, so Song Hong asked again.

Linghu Fengzhong fell into a coma, and before he fell into a coma, he said, "Pig." ”

Everyone looked at each other.
