Heavy snow fell for two days in a row, and after a few days, the north was frozen for thousands of miles, and the two sides were still in a state of standoff.

Murong Ping was leading people to patrol the camp, when suddenly, a subordinate hurriedly walked over.

"What's going on?"

"Lord Wang, the person sent to Guanzhong has returned!"

"Where are the people?"

"Stand by in your tent!"

Murong Ping nodded and said, "Let's go!" Check it out! ”

"Yes!"

"That's right!" Murong Ping stood still and instructed his subordinates: "Go and inform the Fourth Highness and let him go to this king's tent to narrate!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Back at the camp, a middle-aged man was standing there waiting with a wooden box in his hand, and when he saw Murong Ping coming, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Lord Wang, the last general was ordered to go to Guanzhong, and now he has brought back Fu Hong's reply, please take a look!" ”

After speaking, the man opened the box, and a document that seemed to be exquisitely made was presented, Murong Ping took out the paperwork, opened it and looked at it roughly, and suddenly laughed and said, "God help me!" Ran Min will definitely be defeated! ”

At this moment, Murong Ke walked straight in with a knife on his hand and asked, "Why did you call me in such a hurry?" ”

"What you wanted to know a few days ago has come to fruition!"

"Huh?" Murong Ke hadn't reacted yet.

"Just look at this!" Murong Ping gave the document in his hand to Murong Ke.

Murong Ke didn't know why, so he took it and looked at it roughly, with a shocked expression, and asked, "It turns out that you planned this thing before?" ”

Murong Ping smiled slightly, pinched the mustache at the corner of his mouth, and said quite proudly: "Not bad! My idea has been sent to the imperial brother a few days ago, and now that the matter has been finalized, I can give the imperial brother a definite result today! ”

"I really didn't expect you to plan so carefully!" Murong Ke finally admired Murong Comment a little.

Murong Ping smiled slightly and said, "Now that the time is about to be ripe, the big war is imminent, and Ran Min won't be able to live for a few days!" ”

At this time, the man who came back with the letter said again: "Lord Qiqi, on the way back, the last general also inquired about a situation, and the last general felt that this situation should be very important. ”

Murong Ping frowned slightly and asked, "Tell me, what's the situation?" ”

"There are many people in Luoyang and other places who collect grain at high prices, and after the last general inquired, he found out that these people seem to be Ran Min's people!"

"Grain at a high price?" Murong Ping was a little surprised and asked, "At what price do those people collect grain?" ”

"It's 20% higher than the normal market price."

"And what about the harvest?"

"The last general secretly followed them for two days, and this group of people seems to have gained quite a lot, and the grain and grass they get are transported to the direction of Yecheng at night."

"At this time, Ran Min Station is raising food and grass in a big way! It seems to be to consume it with us! Murong Ke said firmly.

When Murong Ping heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "Not necessarily!" They are raising food and grass because they lack food and grass! ”

"It is because they lack grain and grass that they harvest grain at a high price! With food, you can ...... with us."

Before Murong Ke could say anything about me, Murong Ping shouted outside the account: "Someone! ”

"The last general!" The guards outside the tent immediately answered.

"Pass on the king's order, discharge the details, and find out the recent situation of the Wei State in terms of grain and grass! This king wants to know the most accurate information! ”

"The last general commands!"

"What are you sending people to Wei again?" Murong Ke asked.

Murong Ping glanced at Murong Ke and said, "If you don't know the real situation, how do you know what Ran Min will do next?" Anticipating the enemy's opportunity is the key to defeating the enemy! ”

"Okay, okay, you have the final say on these things!" Murong Ke didn't bother to care so much, because he really couldn't figure out these things.

......

Qin Huaishan looked at Ran Min and said, "Your Majesty, this news has been spreading for five or six days, and there is still a lot of grain purchased from Luoyang and other places!" ”

"Buying grain at a price two percent higher than the market price will inevitably arouse the idea of the Hu people, and this news may have reached Murong Ping now!" Ran Min said.

"What Your Majesty said is that just collecting grain like this consumes a lot of money in the Inner Palace, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"

Ran Min waved his hand and said: "Those money, first, are not used for large-scale construction, and second, they are not used to get drunk on money, they are all used to buy grain and grass, these days, money is not as important as grain and grass!" Isn't it? It's okay to consume some money, and the most important thing is to keep the people and Dawei! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Qin Huaishan hurriedly said.

Li Chang looked at the two of them from the side, a little puzzled by what they said, and asked, "Your Majesty, sir, what do you mean by this?" ”

"General, this is a strategy to break the enemy!" Qin Huaishan said with a smile.

"A way to break the enemy?" Li Chang was a little puzzled, and said: "What does the strategy of breaking the enemy have to do with the purchase of grain and grass? Now that the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, we should defeat the Xianbei people in one go, and then march towards Youzhou, take Youzhou, and choke the throat of the Xianbei people! ”

"The old minister remembered that not long ago, before His Majesty sent troops north to attack Xiangguo, the general also said the same! It is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to take Xiangguo! However, the reality does not seem to be like this at all! The army besieged Xiangguo for three months without falling! General, at this moment, he lightly said that he could defeat the Hu people on the opposite side in one go, is this too hasty? ”

Li Chang was so embarrassed by Qin Huaishan's words that he almost didn't dare to look up at Ran Min.

"General, with all due respect, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated! It is naturally a good thing that the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, but if you have the idea of underestimating the enemy, it will not be beneficial to the whole battle situation at all! The general is a vanguard general, you must not have such a mentality, right? Qin Huaishan asked deliberately.

When Li Chang heard this, he was naturally a little uncomfortable, and was about to refute, but was gently dragged by Deputy General Gou on the side and glanced at him.

"You're right!" Li Chang replied with some displeasure, and said, "But ......"

Before Li Chang finished speaking, Ran Min heard that he was already emotional, so he said to Ran Min: "Second uncle, the training of the soldiers has not been slackened recently!" It still needs to be practiced every day! The saber of the Xianbei people may come to us at any time! ”

"The last general understands!" Li Chang said, and glanced at Qin Huaishan again.

"The morale and thoughts of the soldiers, second uncle, you should pay more attention to it! The most important point is! Let the soldiers understand that we can't hold out at this moment, not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, nor because the soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death! It's to sacrifice as few lives as possible! There may be a chance to rush and fight, but that's a ruined approach, and unless there's really no way, the price is too great! Do you understand what I mean? ”

Li Chang roughly understood what Ran Min meant, nodded silently, and responded casually: "Understood!" ”
