Ran Min hurriedly entered the palace, Zhang Mufeng also followed, and all the civil and military ministers were also waiting in the palace.

"Meet Your Majesty!" The ministers saluted and shouted.

Ran Min hurriedly entered the main hall, raised his hand and ordered: "Get up and speak!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Lu An, pass these things on to your lords!" Ran Min handed the report in his hand to Lu An.

"Slaves obey!"

Lu An handed over the report to Qin Huaishan, Wang Shicheng and others, and circulated it to each other. Ran Min said: "This is the latest report brought back by Tanma! I've seen it all! The Xianbei people have withdrawn to Liaodong! Today's Shijian is a lonely palm! Xiangguo is just a lonely city! ”

Wang Shicheng didn't speak, Li Chang couldn't read a single word, so he handed the report to his subordinate Deputy General Gou, and after Vice General Gou confirmed it, he explained the situation to Li Chang.

"Good! As soon as the Xianbei people withdrew, there were only more than 100,000 old and weak remnants in Xiangguo! We've got the win! Li Chang said.

"Mr. Qin, how are the grain, grass and various supplies prepared?"

"It's basically in place, ready for His Majesty to call at any time!" Qin Huaishan said.

Ran Min nodded and said, "Now that everything is ready, the Northern Expedition can be made at any time, who wants to be the vanguard in this battle?" ”

"It's me, naturally! No one can rob this errand! Li Chang was the first to shout.

"Hahahaha, second uncle, you have made so many preparations for the Northern Expedition, no one will definitely rob you!" Ran Min said with a smile.

"So? In this Northern Expedition, I am the vanguard? Li Chang asked tentatively.

Ran Min nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Li Chang was very excited, got up and knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up!" Ran Min raised his hand slightly and said to everyone: "This Northern Expedition is of great significance, I want to drive the expedition in person!" With all the soldiers, he broke through Xiangguo and captured Shijian! ”

"Your Majesty! Never! "Almost everyone was the first to stand up against it.

Ran Min frowned slightly, and said: "My ancestor died because of Shi Jian, and dozens of lives in the Xihua Marquis Mansion need to be repaid by him, if I don't go in person, how can I be worthy of the spirit of the deceased in the sky?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are now the monarch of Great Wei, how can you take the lead in every battle? If there's a whatever, what's the deal? Qin Huaishan comforted: "Now that there are many generals in the Great Wei Dynasty, you can sit in Yecheng and wait for good news!" ”

Li Chang said: "Your Majesty, with me, you can put ten thousand hearts!" You don't need to be in person at all! ”

Ran Min waved his hand and said, "I just said it! This battle is very meaningful! The last time I attacked the Huns, I said to Zhang Mufeng that anyone who is a commander is greedy for fear of the dead! Where does the morale of the soldiers come from? ”

Ran Min stood up, pointed to himself, and said, "The morale of the soldiers comes from me!" I would like to share the weal and woe with them! ”

The crowd was silent. Ran Min said again: "This battle can't be delayed for too long, we must take Xiangguo in the shortest possible time, the longer it is consumed, the more unfavorable it will be for us!" ”

"But if Great Wei doesn't have His Majesty in charge, it won't work, it's better to let General Wang go on His Majesty's behalf!" Qin Huaishan said.

Ran Min looked at Wang Shicheng, who was speechless, and said, "The third uncle can be literate and martial, and he is thoughtful, so it is more appropriate to stay in Yecheng!" ”

Wang Shicheng didn't seem to have any opinions, and said, "Leave it to Your Majesty's arrangement!" ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Sir!" Ran Min interrupted Qin Huaishan's words and said, "You will assist the third uncle in guarding Yecheng and be responsible for the dispatch of grain, grass and military supplies!" With the two of you, I'm in the rear! ”

Qin Huaishan saw that Ran Min had made up his mind, and he couldn't say anything more, so he responded: "The old minister has an order!" ”

Ran Min looked around and asked, "Why didn't Huang Lao come?" ”

Lu An looked around and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the next person came to report, Huang Lao closed the door to thank the guests, and it seemed that he was sick, so he didn't come!" ”

Ran Min frowned slightly, and said: "If you don't get sick sooner or later, if you get sick at this time, I will not be able to come if I edict him to discuss matters!" ”

"Maybe it's really sick, Huang Lao is old after all! It's normal to have some pain......" Qin Huaishan explained.

"Lu An, I'll take the imperial doctor to Huang Lao's mansion later to see how Huang Lao's body is doing." Ran Min commanded.

"Slaves obey!"

"Considering the current situation faced by Great Wei, this time, except for the remaining troops, the rest of the soldiers and horses will all go to battle! 60,000 cavalry and 110,000 foot soldiers! There are 20,000 left-behind troops in Yecheng and 10,000 in Handan! The rest were all transferred to Anyang. ”

"The old minister has written it down!" Qin Huaishan said while remembering.

"By the way, last month, I sent someone to send a letter to Nanjin, can there be a response?" Ran Min asked again.

Qin Huaishan raised his head and said to Ran Min: "There is no news!" However, this is also to be expected. ”

At this time, Li Chang said: "Eh, Mr. Qin, the last time I was in your mansion, didn't I say that I had a letter from the Southern Jin Dynasty?" ”

As soon as Li Chang said this, Qin Huaishan's face was suddenly very embarrassed, and Ran Min was also suspicious, and asked, "Sir, what the second uncle said is true?" ”

Qin Huaishan glanced at Li Chang, and in desperation, nodded silently.

"Then why did you just say that Nanjin didn't give any response?" Ran Min asked.

Qin Huaishan stood up and saluted and said, "The old minister didn't mean to bully the king!" It's ......."

"And what? Make it clear! Ran Min was a little displeased.

Qin Huaishan slowly took out a somewhat crumpled letter from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, this is the letter from the Southern Jin Dynasty that day, and the old minister has always carried it with him, you can see it." ”

Lu An hurriedly took the letter and handed it to Ran Min, Ran Min opened it and took a closer look, his face changed suddenly, he was furious, and slapped the pieces of paper on the table. Ran Min's move really scared everyone.

Qin Huaishan sighed and said, "It's not that the old minister doesn't want to report to His Majesty, but this letter from the Southern Jin Dynasty is clearly humiliating Your Majesty and humiliating Great Wei!" I beg your pardon! ”

"Mr. Qin, what's going on?" Li Chang hurriedly asked.

Ran Min angrily reprimanded: "The Southern Jin Dynasty is a group of pretentious seedless soft eggs! Darn! ”

Qin Huaishan looked at Ran Min and explained to everyone: "The letter said that Your Majesty claims to be a descendant of the Ran family, which is probably difficult to convince them, maybe Your Majesty is also bleeding the blood of the Hu people." The Jin people believed that they were orthodox and did not recognize the Great Wei at all, and if they wanted to send troops, they needed His Majesty to go to the emperor and be a vassal to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and then they would consider sending troops. ”

"Fuck it!" Li Chang scolded: "These children of the family who can only moan without illness can only play tricks and have the ability, why did they flee to the south back then?" Why don't you fight with the Hu people? ”

"Let Your Majesty bow down to them? Daydream about them! The subordinate also chimed in.

Li Chang scolded again: "Back then, the beggar army was besieged by the Zhuhu coalition army for several months, and I didn't see them move a single soldier, and now it is impossible to send troops!" Counting on them? It's better to count on our own knives! Sooner or later, Your Majesty will dominate the north, and then wave his army south, and throw all these self-proclaimed orthodox dog mongrels into the stables! ”

"General, you don't have to be quick at this time!" Qin Huaishan frowned slightly and glanced at Li Chang.

Li Chang saw that Ran Min was already angry, so he shut his mouth stupidly.

"Lu An, keep this letter!" Ran Min commanded.

"Slaves obey!" Lu An hurriedly and carefully put away the papers.

Ran Min's reaction was a little unexpected, he just scolded, but did nothing else.

Ran Min pointed to the letter in Lu An's hand, and said to the ministers in righteous words: "I want to read this letter every day!" Always remind yourself, and I hope you remember, since then, we have not had any assistance from Dawei! If you want to recover the entire hometown, you can only work together and unite as one! Every mistake you make may affect your whole body! Let's be doomed, understand? ”

"Remember, Ministers!"
