As he spoke, his subordinates reported: "Your Majesty, the matter you want to investigate at the end has been clarified!" ”

"How's it going?" Ran Min asked.

"According to the memories of the soldiers who participated in the previous wars, most of the people who fought with them were Huns and Qian, and it seems that there are very few Xianbei people."

"The Xianbei people and the Xiongnu look similar, will they admit their mistakes?" Ran Min asked.

"The last general is also worried about this problem, so in the past few days, I have secretly looked for the burial place of the Hu people, and after looking for several days, I finally let the last general find it, and the last general dug out the dead bodies, and confirmed again and again that there were indeed almost no Xianbei people!"

Hearing this news, Ran Min was quite surprised, and said to Qin Huaishan: "Mr. Gaojian, you really got what you said!" ”

Qin Huaishan stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty has won the award, now that the matter has been clarified, the old minister deduced that these small victories we have achieved today are just deliberately done by Murong Ping, in order to paralyze His Majesty and the generals and soldiers. If the old minister expected it to be true, this Murong Ping may have already set a trap waiting for us to drill. ”

Li Chang asked, "What kind of trap?" ”

Qin Huaishan shook his head and said, "I don't know! All of this is just speculation and inference! But General, one thing is deliberately and sure to tell you, that the situation we are facing is probably much more severe than you and many soldiers imagined! Don't be blindly optimistic anymore! ”

"This ......"

Adjutant General Gou asked: "Sir, now that we don't know Murong Ping's true intentions, and we don't have an advantage in terms of troops, what should we do next?" ”

"No matter what Murong Ping plans to do, if we continue to maintain a confrontation with them like this, we will only slowly fall into his trap, and we must change from passive to active and grasp the direction of the situation in our hands." Qin Huaishan said, and said to Ran Minjin: "Your Majesty, maybe you can start the second step of the plan that Lao Chen said to you earlier!" ”

"No, there's one more thing to confirm!" Ran Min shook his head slightly and said.

"What?"

"You have to make sure that Murong Ping already knows the news we spread!"

"How are you sure?" Adjutant General Gou asked.

"Don't worry, in Yecheng and Handan City, there must already be their meticulous work, let Mengtai and them pay close attention to all suspicious people, once the Xianbei people's meticulous work, don't startle the snake, report immediately!"

Qin Huaishan nodded and said, "The old minister will send someone to deliver a letter to Xu San immediately!" ”

......

A few days later, a secret report from Yecheng was placed on Murong Ping's desk.

"How so? Is the previous message true? Murong Ke asked.

After reading the secret report, Murong commented and said: "I came to report that there is not much grain and grass left in Yecheng and Handan, and it will not last until the spring of next year!" ”

Hearing this news, Murong Ke was quite proud and said, "In this way, Ran Min is also at the end of his crossbow!" ”

"So to speak!" Murong Ping casually threw the secret report into the brazier and turned into a cloud of ashes.

"So what do we do next?" Murong Ke asked.

At this time, the voice of the guard came from outside the tent: "Lord Wang, Your Highness, King Ning asks to see!" ”

"What is he here for?" Murong Ke asked.

Murong Ping sneered and said, "You must be blaming us for coming!" ”

After speaking, Murong Ping ordered: "Let him in!" ”

A moment later, Shi Jian and Gao Shangzhi walked in, their faces calm, and they couldn't see what they meant.

"His Royal Highness King Ning! What advice do you have today? Murong Ping asked with a smile.

"I can't talk about advice." Shi Jian was not polite, and sat down straight, and Gao Shangzhi stood behind him.

Murong Ke frowned slightly, Murong Ping's face did not change, and asked, "Then there is always something, right?" ”

"It's been nearly a month since we camped here, and Ran Min's soldiers and horses have attacked several times, when do the Xianbei people plan to fight with Ran Min?"

"It turns out that His Royal Highness King Ning is here for this!" Murong Ping rubbed his hands unhurriedly and said, "His Royal Highness King Su Wenning is resourceful, when he knows that fighting a war is not a child's play, he should plan and then act!" This ......"

"You've been planning for nearly a month, don't you have a countermeasure?" Shi Jian asked.

Murong Ke sneered: "Hehe, Xiangguo was besieged for more than three months before, didn't you also think of a strategy to break the enemy?" Even if we hand over hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and horses to you, are you sure of victory? ”

Murong Ke's words were extremely sharp, the corners of Shi Jian's eyes twitched slightly, and his eyes changed slightly, but he just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

"Your Highness doesn't have to mind, the fourth brother has always been out of proportion in his words!" Murong Ping made a round.

"Hehe, now that we are advancing and retreating together with Xianbei, this king naturally doesn't care about such trivial matters." Shi Jian said, and glanced at Murong Ke again.

Although Shi Jian didn't show anything on the surface, in fact, in his heart, he was already eager to break Murong Ke's kid into pieces, and he humiliated himself more than once. But Shi Jian was very aware of the current situation, and he naturally would not ignore the overall situation for the sake of fighting for a moment, so he swallowed this breath.

"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness King Ning, this king already has a rough idea of the enemy in his heart, and he needs to discuss it with His Royal Highness after consideration!"

"Oh? Is it? Shi Jian smiled slightly and said, "This king happened to get a message here, maybe you Xianbei can use it!" Take this opportunity to discuss your so-called thinking as well! Even if it's just an approximation! ”

Murong Ping smiled, but he didn't refuse, he agreed, and said, "I don't know what news His Royal Highness King Ning brought?" ”

"Ran Min is short of grain, and he has secretly sent people around to buy grain and grass at a high price and transport it to Yecheng and Handan!"

"I thought it was news, but it turned out to be this!" Murong Ke said disapprenously: "His Royal Highness King Ning, we already knew this news!" ”

Shi Jian was a little surprised and asked, "You already knew?" ”

"Actually, I just found out!" Murong Ping said.

"I see, that's ......," Shi Jian couldn't help but glance at Gao Shangzhi.

Gao Shangzhi said slowly: "It seems that the two of you are very well informed! Now that you know the news, you must not have any ideas! ”

"His Royal Highness King Ning, if you were Ran Min, what would you do next?"

Shi Jian replied: "It's nothing more than two choices, take the risk and let it go, or retreat directly!" ”

Murong Ping nodded and said, "This king thinks so too!" ”

"With all due respect, in the past month, Ran Min has repeatedly attacked and taken advantage of each time, and most of the losses are the Huns and our Qian! You guys are a little unkind, aren't you? ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Isn't this something you did on purpose?" Shi Jian asked rhetorically.

"This king doesn't seem to understand what His Highness means!"

"When camping, the Xianbei soldiers and horses were concentrated on the inside, and the outer was our Qian and Huns. If you don't mean to do this, you're having a problem with your formation! ”

"Your Highness is right, it is indeed the king's intention to let Ran Min succeed repeatedly!" Murong Ping said without hesitation.

"Is this something you're planning to do?"

"That's right!"

"You want Ran Min to be careless and then set a trap, right?" Gao Shangzhi asked.

"Lord Gao is really powerful! This king's trick has been seen through by the two! ”

"Hahaha."

Gao Shangzhi suddenly laughed, Murong Ping and Murong Ke were quite surprised, Murong Ping asked, "Why is Lord Gao laughing?" ”

"Lord Wang, your plan is good! It's a pity that Ran Min may not be able to think of things that the old decay can see! ”

Murong Ping frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Gao can't help but think too highly of Ran Min!" He is indeed brave and good at using soldiers, but after all, he is young and not as old as an adult! ”

"Ran Min may not be able to figure it out, but there is a person next to Ran Min, he must be able to detect it."

"Who?"

"Qin Huaishan!"

"Who is Qin Huaishan? This king has never heard of this man's name! ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if the prince hasn't heard of this person, the old man just wants to tell you that this person is good at strategy, and his ability is probably above the old man. Such a person, does the prince dare to underestimate him? ”

"Don't be alarmist, and after talking for a long time, it's all some unsubstantiated and marginal words!" Murong Ke disagreed.

Gao Shangzhi was too lazy to argue with a milky kid like Murong Ke, and said, "Old decay is just a kind reminder!" Don't steal chickens and rice! ”
