Chapter 650
"Pull it down, cut it!" Ran Min commanded.
At this time, everyone was shocked, and the two shouted: "Your Majesty spare your life!" Spare your life! ”
Li Chang was the first to intercede and said, "Your Majesty, these two people are old brothers who have followed the general for many years!" He has been fighting in the south and north for more than ten years, and has made countless meritorious contributions! Give them a chance! ”
Ran Min waved his hand and asked rhetorically, "What about these brothers who died in battle?" I have repeatedly emphasized that we must always beware of the sneak attack of the Hu people, if they put my words in their hearts, how could such a situation happen! If I don't kill them and do the right thing, what will the rest of the soldiers think! ”
"Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people! Nian These two have also made great contributions to the Great Wei, you can spare their lives for the time being, and the credit will be atoned! Zhang Mufeng also knelt down and said.
At this time, people knelt on the ground one after another to plead for the two tun chiefs. Ran Min began to realize in his heart that what he just said might be really a whim.
"You two are guilty!" Ran Min asked.
"We are guilty!" One of them said: "We are both to blame for the deaths of our brothers!" ”
The other said, "Please spare my two lives, Your Majesty!" Don't ask for guilt and meritorious service, but ask for death on the way to kill the enemy! If so, we will have the face to see these brothers under the Nine Springs......"
"Since there are so many people interceding for the two of you, I really spare your lives today!" Ran Min said, turned his head to Vice General Gou and ordered: "Integrate these two people into the vanguard dead soldiers' battalion, and let them make meritorious contributions!" ”
"The last general commands!"
Ran Min instructed Li Chang again: "Investigate today's incident clearly, and announce it to the whole army to set an example!" If anyone commits this again, they will not be spared! ”
"Yes......"
Luckily, Wang Luan returned to Xiangguo with good news, Shi Jian and Gao Shangzhi and others saw him retreat, full of spring breeze, and knew that the matter was done.
Wang Luan jumped off the horse and said excitedly: "Your Highness! It worked! The last general and his brothers attacked Ran Min's two cantonments, killing thousands of them and burning down several granaries! Finally breathed a sigh of relief! ”
"What about our casualties?" Shi Jian asked.
"Less than twenty casualties!" Wang Luan said loudly and helplessly.
"Good! General Wang fought this battle beautifully! Shi Jian stepped forward and helped Wang Luan up.
"Your Highness, you are well planned! The soldiers can work together to achieve such a victory! Wang Luan said, looked at several of his henchmen, and deliberately gave them a look.
Wang Luan deliberately praised his achievements, firstly, in order to be able to hold his head up in front of Shi Jian, and secondly, to spread the good news of this victory in the army, so as to stimulate the fighting spirit of his soldiers.
"General Wang, this glass of wine, this king respects you!" Shi Jian said, raising the wine glass in his hand.
Wang Luan picked up the wine glass, returned the salute, and said: "Your Royal Highness is gracious, the last general has a heart, but the last general doesn't dare to drink it now!" ”
"Why?" Shi Jian asked.
"This time Ran Min suffered a loss, and the last general was worried that he would retaliate at any time, so except for the last general, he still can't slack off at this moment! It's a life-or-death moment! It is precisely because Ran Min's subordinates have relaxed their vigilance that we can successfully sneak attack this time! If our soldiers relax their vigilance, then once Ran Min's sneak attack is successful, we will lose the territory of Xiangguo! Wang Luan said, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said, "So it's better not to be greedy for the cup at the end of the general!" Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness! ”
The news of the successful sneak attack made Shi Jian smile, seeing Wang Luan so dedicated and quite a general, Shi Jian was even more happy, and he said to everyone with satisfaction: "Wang Luan is right! This wine is not a good thing! Now is the time of life and death, and you really can't drink! This king doesn't drink anymore! ”
After speaking, Shi Jian poured the wine in the cup in his hand directly to the ground.
When they saw it, they followed suit, and they all poured their wine.
"Spread the king's command! From today onwards, all the soldiers in the city will stop drinking! Remember, it's all soldiers! Shi Jian commanded everyone.
"Your Highness, many soldiers are used to drinking, and they are suddenly not allowed to drink at this time, I'm afraid many people will not get used to it!" Someone immediately said.
"Uncomfortable not drinking? It's better than losing your head, right? Wang Luan asked rhetorically.
Everyone whispered, and Wang Luan took the lead and said: "I support this decision of His Royal Highness King Ning, Ran Min's soldiers and horses will not retreat for a day, and we will not drink this wine for a day!" ”
Wang Luan stood up, looked at everyone, and said impassionedly: "Soldiers, today we can serve Ran Min's two camps, and he will be able to serve his camp tomorrow!" It's all two shoulders and one head, why are we afraid of them? That's why you want me to say, this wine, if you want to drink it, you have to keep it for that time! You say, "Isn't that right?" ”
"Yes!" The crowd cheered.
A little sweetness, coupled with Wang Luan's inspiring words, made the soldiers see hope again, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
This situation made Shi Jian feel very gratified, and as a result, Wang Luan further gained Shi Jian's trust.
"Wang Luan!" Shi Jian beckoned to Wang Luan.
"Your Highness!" Wang Luan hurriedly got up and walked to Shi Jian.
"Sit down!" Shi Jian pointed to the seat next to him and said to Wang Luan: "This king still has some things to discuss." ”
"Huh!" Wang Luan sat down obediently, and Gao Shangzhi sat not far from Shi Jian.
"This time I was able to sneak attack Ran Min's camp and achieve such a result, which is already beyond the expectations of this king! You are indispensable! ”
"Your Highness, don't say that, this time we can succeed, and the end will depend on the trust of Your Highness and the unity of the soldiers! It's not the work of one person! ”
"General Wang, there is actually a reason why His Highness said this!" The noble man on the side stroked his beard and said to Wang Luan: "You also saw today, how much encouragement your victory has brought to the soldiers!" That's a good turn! ”
Wang Luan nodded silently, and said solemnly to Shi Jian: "Indeed, the ending I saw today is better than the last general expected!" It's just that the last general thinks that after this incident, Ran Min will definitely grow wise, and if we want to sneak attack again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work, and besides, he will definitely make a comeback! It's not his habit to suffer in a muffled voice! ”
Shi Jian nodded and said, "These few words you said, this king has also thought about it!" That's why this king left you to discuss what we should do next! ”
"The last general believes that the top priority at the moment is to continue training and be prepared, and second, to get in touch with the Xianbei people as soon as possible! Ask them to send troops south! No matter how optimistic we are, we must also realize that our grain and grass are only enough to support more than two months! Sending troops from Liaodong to this point, taking the upper valley, it will take more than 20 days at the earliest! So this should be the first priority! ”
"Now that Ran Min has blocked all the passages to Liaodong, if we want to contact the Xianbei people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky!" Shi Jian said.
"The last general has been studying this matter for the past few days, and it is not completely impossible to do anything other than the last general!" Wang Luan said.
"Tell me about it!" Shi Jian said to Wang Luan.
"The last general heard that His Highness once had eight masters under him, and now there are six left!" Wang Luan said, looked at the two people behind Shi Jian, and said, "These two behind you should be able to take on this important responsibility!" ”
Shi Jian looked back, it was the eldest and the second.
At this time, Gao Shangzhi said: "Your Highness, General Wang has reminded the old minister that the two of them have been lurking in the Southern Jin Dynasty for more than ten years and have never been discovered, maybe they can get in touch with the Murong clan!" ”
"Do you two understand?" Shi Jian asked.
The two knelt on the ground and said, "My subordinates understand! ”
"The road to Xianbei is blocked, you not only have to go back and forth smoothly, but also urge the Xianbei people to send troops as soon as possible! Otherwise, our years of hard work will be in vain! ”
