"It's not that hard!" Zhang Mufeng said firmly.

Adjutant General Gou asked, "How do you know this?" ”

"As the leader of the Di clan, Fu Hong will lead the troops to the battle, and he will definitely not leak any news! All you need to do is send out a small work to confirm whether this guess is correct! ”

Ran Min nodded and instructed Xu San: "Third Uncle Xu, you are responsible for this matter!" ”

Xu San nodded: "Yes!" ”

"In addition, what Zhang Mufeng said just now is very right, if the leader is really Fu Hong, it is not hopeless to find this team of tens of thousands of people!" Ran Min looked at Vice General Gou and said, "You will send someone to investigate this matter!" ”

Vice General Gou hurriedly responded: "The last general has an order!" ”

......

The harassment of Ran Wei by the Di people lasted for more than a month, and they attacked in multiple ways, harassing the defenders and people in various places, and Ran Min's soldiers and horses were always in a passive state. The Di people were also quite cunning, once Ran Min's soldiers and horses pursued them, they retreated cunningly, not engaging the defenders everywhere head-on at all, and once the defenders withdrew, they waited for an opportunity again. Although Ran Min and his soldiers probably guessed the intentions of the Di people, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack without clarifying the real goal of the Di people.

Of course, this is also a point that Ran Min has repeatedly emphasized. However, judging from Ran Min's plan, passivity is also part of the plan, because he just wants to convince the Di people that Ran Min has completely messed up.

Xu San sent a large number of fine works to Guanzhong, which was personally commanded by Meng Tai, and sure enough, more than twenty days later, a secret report appeared on Ran Min's desk.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret message sent by Montai! Fu Hong really led his troops to the Hangu Pass. Xu San sent the secret report to Ran Min.

Ran Min took a look and said, "Thirty thousand!" ”

"That's right! Thirty thousand indeed! Xu San said.

"What can you do with only 30,000 people?" Ran Min couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Xu San frowned slightly, and said, "Except for the soldiers and horses that Fu Hong used to harass various places, there are at most 20,000 people around him!" Moreover, these 20,000 people seem to be cavalry, and with only 20,000 people, and there is no siege equipment, I am afraid it is impossible to capture any city in our territory! ”

Ran Min got up slowly, looked at the map hanging behind him, and said, "This shows that maybe Fu Hong's goal is not to attack the city at all, but something else!" ”

"Historically, troops have been sent either to attack the city and occupy the city, or to rob the money, livestock, and people! Other than that, I can't think of ......"

"Third Uncle Xu, what did you just say?" Ran Min suddenly interrupted Xu San's words.

Xu San was stunned for a moment, and said a little dazedly: "I am sending troops to fight, either to occupy the other party's city, or to rob the money and livestock of the people......"

"That's right! That's right! Ran Min looked at the map and said silently.

"Your Majesty, what's right?" Xu San was puzzled.

Ran Min turned around and said to Xu San, "You reminded me just now!" Fu Hong is waiting for tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to come to attack the city! But they didn't go to such great lengths to snatch so many cattle! ”

"Then according to Your Majesty, what is Fu Hong's real goal?"

Ran Min sneered, pointed to a point on the map, and said, "His target must be here!" ”

"Handan's horse farm?" Xu San exclaimed.

"That's right! There are 30,000 of our war horses here, and if we lose these war horses, our cavalry strength will inevitably be weakened a lot, so if the Hu people attack again, it will be difficult for us to parry! ”

"Your Majesty's analysis is very reasonable!" Xu San frowned and said, "This Fu Hong is really scheming!" If they are allowed to succeed, Dawei will be in danger! ”

Ran Min said again: "That's right! Other than that, I can't imagine what else Fu Hong can do! ”

"How does Your Majesty plan to respond?" Xu San asked.

"Summoning Zhu Song and Vice General Gou to come, I have something to discuss with them!" Ran Min instructed Lu An.

"Slaves obey!"

Zhu Song and Vice General Gou hurriedly came to the big tent, saluted and said, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Summoning you two to have something important to discuss!" Ran Min said, beckoned to the two, and ordered, "Come over here and have a look!" ”

The two came to Ran Min's side, and Ran Min pointed to the map and said, "I guess that Fu Hong's real goal is our horse farm!" ”

The two of them leaned in and looked at it carefully, a little surprised, and then seemed to react again, Zhu Song said: "Your Majesty's speculation is completely reasonable!" When the generals were deliberating before, they once said that Fu Hong must have eaten this offense in order to fish in troubled waters! There are 30,000 war horses in Handan Horse Farm, once these 30,000 war horses have three long and two short, the combat effectiveness of the Great Wei soldiers and horses will be reduced by at least forty percent! ”

"Exactly!" Ran Min said to the two: "In order to confirm my guess! It's up to both of you! ”

When Zhu Song and Vice General Gou heard this, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Please give orders from Your Majesty!" ”

Ran Min thought for a while and asked Zhu Song: "How many soldiers and horses can be called by the wolf cavalry now?" ”

"Two thousand! There are still about 400 people still wounded, unable to fight! Zhu Song replied.

Ran Min nodded and said, "Enough!" ”

"Your Majesty plans to dispatch the Wolf Captain?" Zhu Song asked.

"That's right! Surprise and attack unprepared! Ran Min pointed to the map and said to Zhu Song: "Today, you will lead the troops north!" Remember! It is necessary to march at night, bypass the east side of Handan, and then take a detour to the west along this route! ”

"Your Majesty's meaning, the last general understands, but should we first exclude the Tanma and confirm the exact location of Fu Hong's soldiers and horses?"

"It's nature!" Ran Min nodded and said, "But since you have guessed Fu Hong's intentions, it is easy to find a place close to Handan that can hide 20,000 cavalry!" ”

Ran Min said, and then instructed Zhu Song: "Before my plan is officially implemented, your soldiers and horses are camped here, waiting for orders!" ”

Zhu Song looked at the map carefully, and after confirming that he remembered the location, he said, "The last general remembers!" ”

"Gou Ying!" Ran Min shouted.

"The last general!" Vice Admiral Gou responded.

"Now there are 10,000 defenders in Handan Racecourse, and the Anyang area has been particularly harassed recently, I will order that 5,000 people from the defenders of the Racecourse be transferred to Anyang to assist in garrisoning, and you, you must bring 20,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush here! Wait for Fu Hong to throw himself into the net! ”

"Your Majesty has a good plan!" Gou Ying exclaimed.

"In addition to this, you have a very important mission!" Ran Min pointed to the map and said, "You have to send a scout horse to find out the exact location of Fu Hong, if you really find the army of the Di people in this area, this side confirms all my conjectures!" ”

Gou Ying nodded and said, "The last will arrange for a capable person to go!" ”

......

A few days later, one night, as a fast horse galloped in the night, several figures hid in the shadows, and watched the man ride to the west, and one of them asked, "Do you see clearly?" ”

"See clearly! It's the Di people! ”

"Go and report this news to the general!"

"Good!"

......

After hearing the news brought by his subordinates, Fu Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and instructed his subordinates: "Pass my order, gather all the soldiers and horses outside, and attack Anyang with all your strength at dawn the day after tomorrow!" I'm going to let Ran Min take care of the tail! ”

"Leader, according to the news obtained by Tanma, there are at least 20,000 defenders in Anyang, even if we concentrate all the soldiers and horses outside us, there are only 10,000 people, under this kind of disparity in strength, will it be too risky?"

"Attack with all your might, but not with all your might! What Lao Tzu wants is for Ran Min to focus all his attention on Anyang, so that I can take advantage of the chaos and rob his horse farm! ”

"The leader is right!" Another subordinate chimed in.
