"The war in the north is tight, and the grain and grass in Yongzhou have also become a problem, and now, I really can't wait to dig up the soil and eat it as food!" Zhu Song said.

At this time, Qin Wan personally brought in some food, Ran Min nodded slightly, and Qin Wan retreated with interest.

"Let's eat something first!" Ran Min commanded the man.

The man looked at the food in front of him and swallowed, but he didn't reach for it.

"Why don't you eat it?" Ran Min asked.

"In Yongzhou City, the soldiers have long been unable to eat these, and the last general feels extravagant......

Ran Min was quite sad when he said these words, and he said: "The problem of grain and grass is the biggest problem that plagues the Wei army at present!" The people take food as the sky, and if the soldiers can't eat enough and have the heart to kill the enemy, it will be useless! ”

Zhu Song said: "There is still a period of time before the wheat harvest, and our grain and grass are no longer enough!" The Southern Jin Dynasty refused to sell us grain! The whole north has not found enough food and grass to feed us! Unless...... Unless you go to rob the Hu people's food and grass! ”

"Is there any news from the scouts who were sent out?" Ran Min asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Di people and the Xianbei people must have grain and grass, but in terms of the current situation, the situation in Yongzhou is complicated, even if the Di people have grain and grass, the soldiers and horses in General Wang's hands can barely defend the city, and most of them are foot soldiers, and it is difficult to sneak attack their grain route." Zhu Song responded.

"Then according to what you mean, it can only be the idea of beating the Xianbei people?"

Zhu Song nodded: "I'm afraid so!" ”

"The last general is against it!" Gou Ying said.

Zhu Song asked, "Why?" ”

"The Xianbei people have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we have traveled thousands of miles to attack their grain routes and rob the grain, what if we fail? That's a catastrophe! Such a risk is too great! Gou Ying explained.

Zhu Song asked rhetorically: "It's all come to this point, is it possible not to take risks?" Could it be that our brothers should starve to death? ”

Ran Min looked at everyone's reactions and said, "I agree with Zhu Song's statement!" It's a bit of a risk, but no matter how you say it, there is some hope! If it continues to be consumed like this, Yongzhou will be self-defeating in a few days, and the Great Wei will die! If they can win the grain and grass of the Xianbei people, they will definitely retreat, and survive this period of time, there is still a chance! When life and death are at stake, you can only take risks! ”

The generals listened and nodded their heads. Ran Min instructed Zhu Song: "This time, you will send a competent person to investigate the situation!" Once you determine where the grain and grass of the Xianbei people are, come back immediately and report it! ”

Zhu Song hurriedly responded: "The last general has an order!" ”

......

Murong Ping looked at the messy Changcheng and couldn't help but sigh: "Ran Min really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin!" It's all to the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and they still refuse to bow their heads! ”

"When we take Handan and Yecheng, we will definitely kill all the people in the city! Let them see, our Dayan's thunderbolt method! ”

Murong Ping sneered, quite proud, and asked, "How is the situation on the Di people's side?" ”

The subordinate responded: "Back to the prince, according to the news obtained by Tanma, the Di people have been attacking the city for four months, but they have not taken Yongzhou for a long time, a few days ago, Fu Jian in order to attack the city, a large number of Guanzhong Han people were driven to Yongzhou outside the city, forcing Wang Shicheng to open the city, the city gate was not opened for a day, Fu Jian ordered to shoot a group of Han people, so repeated for several days, Wang Shicheng had no choice, and risked opening the city to rescue those people, but it also led to a serious shortage of food and grass in the city! According to the news obtained by Tanma, Ran Min had previously transferred all the grain and grass that could be requisitioned by Wei to Yongzhou, and even if we didn't attack the city at this time, Yongzhou would not be able to hold out for long! ”

Murong Ping nodded and said, "In other words, once Yongzhou is breached, Ran Min will be in a desperate situation!" ”

"Returning to the prince, that's exactly the case!"

Murong Ke said, "What's the hurry? Let's just wait and see what happens! Waiting for the Di people to break through Yongzhou and Ran Min's defeat, we will wave our troops south and pick up a ready-made bargain! ”

"I'm afraid that I won't pick up the cheap when the time comes, but I will lose the opportunity!" Murong commented and said faintly.

"What do you mean?" Murong Ke didn't seem to understand.

Murong Ping explained: "Once Yongzhou is lost, the Di people can drive straight into Yecheng and take Yecheng, and at that time, a large area of Ran Wei's territory will fall into the hands of the Di people, what else can we pick up?" ”

"What then? Send troops to attack Handan and Yecheng now? Murong Ke asked.

Murong Ping shook his head and said, "No! At this juncture, the cost of siege is too great! Even if we take Handan and then Yecheng, we will usher in the Di people coming to the city, and we will be in a passive state due to insufficient troops! So now it is necessary to go south at the lowest cost! You can only outwit, not brute! ”

"Then tell me, what is the feasible way?" Murong Ke asked.

Murong Ping walked back with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "Didn't you just say that Ran Min is in urgent need of food and grass now?" ”

"That's right, lord! Wei can't find any grain and grass to requisition now! There are still two months before the wheat harvest, but now the grain and grass in Yongzhou, Handan and Yecheng can't last more than a month! ”

"Then it seems that the only thing is to lure the snake out of the hole! Ran Min only has a way out of Handan City! ”

"Fighting on the plains, the cavalry has a great advantage, and now the ironclad army has lost more than half, although Ran Min does not have many soldiers and horses, but his combat power is amazing, even if he goes out of the city, he may not be able to take him smoothly, right?"

"If it were a normal situation, it would be like this, but if we use grain and grass as bait, what do you think Ran Min would do?" Murong Ping asked rhetorically.

"Ran Min is not a fool! How could you not have guessed that you would use grain and grass as bait to lure him into falling for it? ”

"You're right! He'll guess my intentions, but he'll be willing to get into it! ”

"Why?"

"Hehe, the Han people have an old saying, people die for money, birds die for food! Ran Min is a tough guy, he will never surrender! So unless he dies, as long as he has a breath, he will definitely try his best to fight to the death! Judging from the current situation, he will not think about the food and grass of the Di people! Then the only possible opportunity is the grain and grass of our Xianbei people! More than 100,000 troops went south, and the grain and grass we carried were enough for Ran Min's soldiers and horses for more than half a year! How could he not be tempted by such a temptation before his eyes? ”

"You're saying he's going to give it a go for the sake of this grain and grass?"

Murong Ping nodded: "That's right!" I know Ran Min! This time, he will definitely take the initiative to come to the door! ”

"You have to think clearly! These grains and grasses are the lifeblood of hundreds of thousands of troops, and once something goes wrong, the morale of the army will be in chaos! When the time comes......"

Murong Ping waved his hand, turned to Murong Ke and said, "You don't need to worry about this!" If there is a problem with these grains and grasses, I will accept the guilt of the royal brother! ”

"Okay! Since you've said so! I have no opinion either! Murong Ke sneered and said, "But as long as you can defeat Ran Min, I will listen to you!" ”

"Pass the order, the army will continue to be stationed here!" Murong Ping commanded his subordinates.

"Lord, where is the grain and grass?"

Murong Ping smiled slyly and said, "Don't worry, I will find the best burial place for Ran Min's soldiers and horses!" ”

......

In the next few days, the wolf cavalry sent by Zhu Song went deep into Jizhou and other places to explore the grain and grass transportation routes of the Xianbei people, but accidentally discovered Murong Ping's conspiracy, and the news was soon sent back to Handan.
