Since the Battle of Xiangguo, the Ran Wei regime no longer launched any active attacks, because Ran Min deeply realized that Wang Shicheng's suggestion was right. Whether in terms of people's strength, military strength, financial resources, etc., Ran Wei is inferior to Zhuhu, in such a disparity situation, rashly launching a war is undoubtedly a wrong choice, however, this is also a lesson that Ran Min gained in the battle of Xiangguo, losing half of the army.

The successive deaths of Li Chang and Qin Huaishan also greatly reduced Ran Min's strength, and he lost Qin Huaishan, the only think tank, and Ran Min's overall strategy was already inferior. Of course, Ran Min also knew that he had to hold high the banner of righteousness and recruit talents, but at this time in the northern land, everyone in the Shi clan either died or fled to the Southern Jin Dynasty and went to a corner of peace. In the entire north, those who really have the ability to stabilize the country and secure the country may only rely on God's gifts.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, the Ran Wei regime is like a flat boat in the Han Sea, surviving with difficulty and tenacity, and it is extremely difficult to move forward. The wind and rain became more and more violent, Ran Min, as the helmsman, was still as firm as before, the original hesitation still dissipated, he knew that weakness could only be humiliation, even if it was broken, it would be vigorous.

At the same time, the Xianbei and Di people launched many invasions, but they never fought with Ran Min on a large scale, and Ran Wei's vitality was consumed bit by bit.

"Godmother...... Why hasn't my father come back yet? Ran Zhi babbled.

Qin Wan took Ran Zhi in her arms, looked at the sun setting in the west, and said, "Father is leading the troops to fight outside, and when the battle is over, he will come back!" ”

"Why fight?"

Looking at Ran Zhi's immature face, Qin Wan smiled slightly, pinched his face, and said, "Because someone wants to destroy our home and leave us all homeless, my father wants to protect us!" ”

"They're all bad guys!" Ran Zhi pouted.

"That's right! They're all bad guys! Zhi'er is the most well-behaved! Qin Wan stroked Ran Zhi's head and said gently.

"When Zhi'er grows up, Zhi'er wants to protect her godmother and follow her father to defeat these bad guys!"

"Good! What a wise man! Godmother knows that you are a manly husband! Qin Wan said, holding Ran Zhi in her arms and kissing his forehead, but she was worried about Ran Min's safety.

"Miss Qin!" Lu An stood in the distance and shouted.

Qin Wan raised her head and saw Lu An standing far away, so she got up and instructed the maidservant beside her, "Take care of your son!" ”

"Yes......"

"Godmother, where are you going?" Ran Zhi was a little unhappy.

"Godmother has something to do, I'll be back soon, Zhi'er will go back to the house with my sister first, be obedient, okay?"

"Then come back quickly, Zhi'er will endorse you!" Ran Zhi's appearance is innocent and loved.

Qin Wan nodded and said, "Okay!" Godmother will be back in a while! ”

The maidservant left with Ran Zhi, and Qin Wan walked over to Lu An and asked, "Your Majesty has any news back?" ”

Lu An nodded, but his face was a little grim, and he seemed to be in a heavy mood.

"What's going on?" Qin Wan asked a little anxiously.

Lu An said: "The battle report ahead, the 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Xianbei Murong clan are going south, and Your Majesty has led the army north, but the soldiers and horses brought by him are only more than 30,000 people!" ”

Qin Wan was shocked and asked, "Why are the Xianbei people here again?" Didn't Your Majesty fight the Di people in Yongzhou? ”

Lu An shook his head and said, "I don't know, it may be that the Murong clan has learned about our current situation, so they can't wait to take advantage of the fire to rob it!" ”

"What about Yongzhou?"

"General Wang Shicheng personally commanded the town, but the elite cavalry of our army were all taken away by His Majesty, and General Wang's subordinates were mainly foot soldiers, and His Majesty asked him to hold on to it, and when the threat to the north of Great Wei was lifted, he would wave his army south."

"But there are only more than 30,000 people, how can they withstand hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses?" Although Qin Wan doesn't know how to fight, she knows that this disparity in strength is probably more than lucky.

Lu An gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty has the protection of the gods, and it will be fine!" Let's wait for the news of Your Majesty's triumph with peace of mind. ”

Although Lu An comforted Qin Wan like this, Lu Anxin also knew very well that the situation faced by Ran Min was getting more and more severe, and he was also very worried about Ran Min's situation, but ......

"Your Majesty has a letter back?" Qin Wan asked again.

Lu An shook his head: "Not yet!" ”

"I know......" Qin Wan's face was ugly, she was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly stopped and said to Lu An: "Don't spread this news yet!" lest the hearts of men be unstable. ”

"I understand!" Lu An nodded.

......

After continuous battles, Ran Min's appearance has changed, and he is no longer the heroic appearance of the year, and his face is the traces left by the wind and frost and the scorching sun, which is a little more old-fashioned, but also a little more stable.

"Your Majesty!" A fast horse galloped in.

"Did you find Murong Ke's army!" Ran Min asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Murong Ke's soldiers and horses have arrived in Jizhou, and they will go south soon!" Tan Ma Yu reports.

"Jizhou ......" Ran Min thought for a while and said: "From Jizhou to the south, Changcheng must be their primary target!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to go directly to Changcheng to meet the enemy?" The subordinate asked.

Ran Min shook his head and said: "The Xianbei people have 150,000 soldiers and horses, all the way south, they must be full of morale at this time, we only have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not wise to fight them head-on at this time." ”

Zhu Song said: "Your Majesty is right, you can only use ingenuity to fight more, and you must not do it brutely!" ”

Ran Min nodded and said, "You're on point!" This battle can only be outwitted! ”

"It's better for us to fire their back roads, cut off their food and grass, mess up their army's morale, and then take advantage of the chaos! I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? Zhang Mufeng said.

"Great idea!" Ran Min smiled slightly and said, "Pass the order down, go through Jizhou, and go straight to the rear of the Xianbei people." ”

"The last general commands!"

......

It was spring in March, and the weather should have been clear, but it was gloomy for thousands of miles, and the sun was nowhere to be seen, and the whole north seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Ran Min took 34,000 elite cavalry, starry night, and soon arrived in Jizhou, and at this time, Murong Ke and Murong Ping did not realize that Ran Min was about a hundred miles away from them.

From Liaodong through Youzhou, 150,000 soldiers and horses, cavalry, foot soldiers, heavy grain and grass, the troops stretched for dozens of miles, and the edge was exposed.

The Xianbei people were stationed in Jizhou for a few days, and they did not immediately go south, but sent a scout horse to inquire about the movements of Ran Min's soldiers and horses.

"How could you not find Ran Min's army?" Murong Ke was a little strange and said, "If we have 150,000 soldiers and horses going south, then Ran Min doesn't have a sense of crisis at all?" ”

"Impossible!" Murong Ping waved his hand and said, "The defenders in Handan and Changcheng and other places add up to only 30,000 people, and this number of people alone is not enough for us to have 150,000 people stuffed between our teeth!" It is impossible for Ran Min to remain indifferent. ”

"The closest place to us now is Changcheng, fools know that once we send out troops and horses, Changcheng will definitely bear the brunt, but so far I can't see Ran Min's soldiers and horses, this is really a hell!"

Murong Ping didn't speak, looked at the map by himself, and ignored Murong Ke.

"Hey, I'll talk to you! I don't understand, how do we have so many horses, why don't we just capture Changcheng? To be stationed here and wait, waiting for what? What's there to wait for? ”

"Wait for Ran Min to take the initiative!" Murong Ping replied lightly.

"Wouldn't it be better to take his city first?"

"As long as Ran Min lives for one day, he will be a scourge, compared to Ran Min's life, how can the little Changcheng be concerned? As long as Ran Min is dead, whether it is Changcheng, Handan, or Yecheng, it will be at your fingertips! ”

Murong Ke sneered and said, "Ran Min is not a fool, the soldiers and horses he can call now will not exceed 40,000 at most, and we are four times his strength, how can he be stupid enough to take the initiative to attack?" ”

"Then you just don't know Ran Min too well!"
