"How's the count?" Ran Min asked Zhang Mufeng, who was kneeling not far away.

Zhang Mufeng looked at Li Chang, who was kneeling beside him, Li Chang was injured in many places, lowered his head, and did not speak.

"I'm asking you!" Ran Min scolded.

"According to a rough estimate, nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses were lost! Among them, more than 23,000 were killed in the battle, more than 26,000 were seriously wounded, and the number of minor wounded was not counted. ”

Ran Min looked at Li Chang on the side, and asked Zhang Mufeng again: "Have you ever counted the loss of people and horses from the east and west?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already counted!"

Ran Min paced back and forth in the tent, almost all the important generals were there, the atmosphere was a little heavy, although Xiangguo City was broken, but let Shi Jian run away, it was equivalent to falling short, at this time, everyone did not dare to speak.

"When the city was broken, almost all sides were filled with our people, and I wanted to know how Shi Jian escaped!" Ran Min asked, glancing at everyone.

"Shi Jian must have been after Qiao Zhuang and took advantage of the chaos to withdraw from Xiangguo! At that time, there was chaos in the city, and the soldiers were afraid ......"

"Letting go of Shijian is equivalent to returning to the mountain!" Ran Min couldn't help clenching his fists and said: "I sent 200,000 troops in order to set foot in Xiangguo and capture Shijian alive, but I didn't expect to fall short in the end!" ”

"Your Majesty, Great Wei is not nothing, at least the Huns are no longer in the climate, although Shi Jian did not catch, but his soldiers and horses have lost more than 10,000 yuan, if this time can repel the Xianbei people, Great Wei can open up hundreds of miles to the north!" Adjutant General Gou said.

"You have a point! But only if we successfully defeat the Xianbei people! Ran Min sighed and instructed Li Chang: "Second uncle, get up!" ”

Li Chang still knelt in place, slowly raised his head, looked guilty, and said: "If we can hold on for one more day, maybe the one kneeling in front of Your Majesty at this moment is that kid Shi Jian!" ”

Li Chang said, slammed his fist on the ground, and said in annoyance: "It's me who is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"With 20,000 people to intercept more than 100,000 troops, there is no chance of victory, and the second uncle can successfully withdraw with more than 10,000 people, which is already a great achievement! I won't punish you! And reward you! ”

"Reward?" Li Chang was a little surprised, and looked at Ran Min with a look of surprise.

"Then again, I am also responsible for being escaped by Shi Jian! Fell for his golden cicada shelling scheme! I can't blame you all for this! ”

After speaking, Ran Min turned around and sat down, and said to Li Chang again: "Second uncle, can you get up now?" ”

Vice General Gou hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Chang up, probably with too much force, Li Chang couldn't help but take a cool breath, and there was a trace of pain on his face.

"How's the injury?" Ran Min asked.

Li Changqiang smiled and said, "Some skin injuries, it's fine." ”

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent: "Report! ”

"Come in!"

A soldier immediately walked into the big tent quickly, knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, visit the Malay newspaper, the Xianbei people retreated forty miles and camped outside the city of Xiangguo." ”

"Xianbei didn't attack?" Ran Min's subordinates commanded and discussed.

"The Xianbei people did not attack, which is expected!" Ran Min said.

"I'm afraid they are worried that we have an ambush, and it is dark, so they don't dare to venture in!" Adjutant General Gou said.

Ran Min nodded, and asked again, "Have you ever inquired about Shi Jian's whereabouts?" ”

The man replied: "Thirty miles northwest of Xiangguo, thousands of soldiers and horses were found, and they should be Shi Jian's men!" But at this moment, he should have joined forces with the Xianbei people! ”

Ran Min nodded slightly and signaled to retreat.

"I didn't expect this stone to slip out from under our noses!"

Ran Min took a deep breath, looked up, and said helplessly: "Providence!" ”

At this time, Zhu Song, who had been silent on the side for a long time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that at this time, our army has become a confrontation with the Hu people, and a big war is inevitable, should we take advantage of their unstable foothold at this moment to attack the Murong clan's camp at night?" ”

Ran Min glanced at Zhu Song, thought about it, and asked the others, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone discussed, Zhang Mufeng said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are in urgent need of rest and recuperation after days of fighting, according to the last general's opinion, they are still stationed here, take a short rest, send out scouts, investigate the movements of the Hu people, and see how they arrange their troops to find out how to deal with it!" ”

Vice General Gou shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't think so!" Now although the Hu people have an advantage in strength, but these more than 200,000 soldiers and horses are mostly composed of Xianbei people, Huns and Qian, people's hearts must be uneven, our soldiers have been attacking the city day after day, and they are indeed tired, but at this time, it is still okay to grit your teeth and attack first! Because we are tired, and so are the Hu people! It depends on who can't bear it first! ”

Zhang Mufeng said to Deputy General Gou: "Vice General Gou, when it comes to fighting, the last general is not as good as the general, but the last general heard that Murong Ping is a scheming person, and the last general is worried that if the Hu people are prepared, I am afraid that if the sneak attack fails, they will suffer losses!" ”

"Zhang Mufeng, don't grow the ambition of others at this time and destroy your own prestige! We are going to sneak attack, and we are not openly and openly attacking with them, if the situation is not right, we will retreat immediately! ”

"Vice General Gou is right, there are a lot of good horses in our army, and the horses of the Xianbei people may not be able to catch up with us!" Someone chimed in.

"So, you're in favor of a sneak attack tonight?" Ran Min asked.

"The last general is against it!" Zhang Mufeng was the first to say: "Before we find out the situation of the Xianbei people, it is too risky to sneak attack like this!" Wang Luan also rashly attacked us under such circumstances, and fell for His Majesty's scheme! ”

Zhu Song said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that what Zhang Mufeng said has some truth......

Hearing this, Vice General Gou and the others were a little puzzled, and Vice General Gou said: "Zhu Song, just now you proposed to attack the Xianbei people!" Why have you changed your tune now? ”

Zhu Song glanced at him and explained, "I haven't finished my words yet!" What Zhang Mufeng said does have some truth, but I think it is still necessary to try Murong Ping's ability, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! ”

Ran Min nodded slightly and said, "What Zhu Song said makes sense, we haven't fought with Murong Ping, but we have heard of his name, and I don't know how to strategize with him!" In that case, let's give it a try tonight! Who would dare to bring someone there? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Vice General Gou volunteered: "Your Majesty! The last general is willing to ask for his life to go to the camp and steal it! ”

"I'll give you five thousand fine rides! Let's find out! ”

Vice Gou hurriedly stood up, saluted and said, "The last general is ordered!" ”

Ran Min solemnly said to Vice General Gou: "Remember, I went tonight just to test the reaction of the Hu people, not to achieve any results, don't entangle with the Hu people too much, and accept it when you see it!" ”

"The last will understand! Your Majesty, please rest assured! Vice Admiral Gou replied.
