The man trembled, and couldn't help but raise his head and quietly glanced at Qin Huaishan, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, Zhang Mufeng suddenly reported outside the door: "Your Majesty! There are Di people who have invaded the border! ”

When Ran Min heard this, he immediately stood up and asked, "What's the situation!" ”

"Yesterday, Xue Zan led people to inspect the Xingyang area and found the whereabouts of the Di people, I wanted to find out the situation and then send someone back to report, but who knew that the Di people took the initiative to attack Xue Zan and his soldiers and horses!"

"If Xue Zan leads troops to patrol, there won't be two hundred people at most! What's going on now? ”

"According to the person who came back to report the news, there are thousands of people in the Di tribe, Xue Zan is invincible, and has returned to Liyang, waiting for ......."

Before Zhang Mufeng finished speaking, Ran Min turned back to Qin Huaishan and said, "Sir, take a good rest!" I'll see you another day! ”

After speaking, Ran Min left in a hurry, the subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Huaishan was worried again.

Ran Min asked as he walked out, "Have you ever found out the situation of the Di people now?" ”

"I've already sent a probe horse out, and I don't know how big a formation the Di people are this time for the time being!"

"Ordered Deputy General Gou to lead 10,000 cavalry to the direction of Liyang, don't act rashly until the enemy situation is discovered!" Ran Min hated his teeth and said: "This damn Di people, first helped the Xianbei people to sneak attack my rear, I haven't settled accounts with them, and now I'm here to make waves again!" ”

"Your Majesty, there will be more ideas in the end!" Zhang Mufeng said.

Ran Min stopped and asked, "What do you think?" Just say it! ”

"The last general thinks that the Di people are likely to attack from multiple ways this time! Not necessarily only in the Xingyang area! Now we should send multiple scouts to check all the roads from the direction of Guanzhong, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Di people! ”

After listening to Zhang Mufeng's words, Ran Min nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense!" That's how it should be arranged! ”

"Do you need to let General Wang discuss it together?" Zhang Mufeng asked.

Ran Min shook his head and said, "No need! The third uncle has no intention of doing anything else recently, and the death of the second uncle has hit him very hard, so let him stay alone for a few days. ”

"Yes!"

"Convene all the generals above the rank of captain, and discuss the affairs of the battalion!"

"I'm going to do it!"

......

Fu Hong rode on horseback, looked at the soldiers and horses marching under the mountain, and asked, "What is the movement in Yecheng?" ”

"Returning to the leader, according to the report of Tanmalai, two days ago, a cavalry of 10,000 people marched in the direction of Liyang! Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any other movement. ”

"It seems that this kid Ran Min is also a little late-sighted, and his reaction is still a little slower!" Fu Hong laughed.

"Your Majesty, the last general is worried that once Ran Min sees through our plan, it will be a little troublesome!"

"Don't worry, Lao Tzu has already made arrangements!" Fu Hong confidently commanded his subordinates: "Pass the order, all the people and horses will attack separately, I want Ran Min to be so busy that I can't tell the difference between the southeast and the north!" In this way, we can get started! ”

"Chief, this should be what people call fishing in troubled waters, right?" The subordinate asked flatteringly.

Fu Hong smiled, patted the man's shoulder, and said, "That's right! There is growth! ”

......

A few days later, on Ran Min's desk, urgent reports from all over the country arrived, looking at this complicated battle report, Ran Min seemed to have no clue.

"Guys, what do you think?" Ran Min asked.

"Anyang, Liyang, and even near Yecheng, there are traces of Di people! The last general really can't figure out what this Di people want to do! ”

"That's right! If you want to talk about attacking a city, there are thousands of people at most, and hundreds of people at least, such a posture is not a siege at all, but like a bandit bandit, just to rob cattle and food. ”

Ran Min asked Zhang Mufeng: "How many teams of Di people have been found?" ”

Zhang Mufeng replied: "According to the information obtained by Tanma so far, the Di people have appeared in at least eleven places!" And half of them are at the same time! ”

Ran Min nodded and said, "This can first show that these actions of the Di people are all premeditated, and they are not accidental!" ”

"Soldiers are ready to fight all day long! Just wait for His Majesty's order! ”

Ran Min frowned slightly, and said, "It's easy to give an order, but I haven't figured out the details of the Di people yet, and it's impossible for me to let tens of thousands of people chase hundreds of thousands of Hu people around!" Now the first thing to figure out is what the Di people want to do when they come to the Central Plains! ”

Xue Zan said: "The last general thinks that the Di people must be doing this to create chaos!" To conceal their true purpose! ”

"That's for sure!" Vice General Gou took over and said, "Xue Zan, you are repeating His Majesty's words!" ”

Xue Zan glanced at Deputy General Gou and asked, "Then you can tell me, what is the real purpose of the Di people?" ”

Ran Min looked at Deputy General Gou, and Vice General Gou had an idea and said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that these dozen or so soldiers and horses of the Di people are now attacking everywhere, turning the world upside down on the border of Great Wei, and it seems that they are indeed clueless. But even if it's a wolf pack, there should be a wolf, let alone these Di people, what do you think, Your Majesty? ”

Ran Min thought for a while and said, "What do you mean, I really want to understand a little, you go on!" ”

"Your Majesty just said that these Di people must have come for a purpose, and they are doing this now to create chaos and cover up their true purpose, but with so many troops and horses, there must be someone who keeps giving them orders! Therefore, the last general thought that as long as he found out the whereabouts of the people who gave orders to these soldiers and horses, he might be able to figure out what the true purpose of the Di people was. ”

Vice General Gou's words made everyone nod their heads after hearing it, and Ran Min couldn't help but admire: "What a word to wake up a dreamer!" You reminded me! ”

Vice General Gou was a little flattered and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" ”

"Since that's the case, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that relying on those light probe horses we sent out may not work!" Xue Zan said.

"That's right!" Zhu Song also said: "In a radius of thousands of miles, it is too easy to find a place to hide!" ”

"If the person who gave the order was Fu Hong himself, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult to find!" Zhang Mufeng said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Xue Zan asked.

"If Your Majesty goes out, I will only escort the people and horses of my headquarters, can you rest assured?" Zhang Mufeng asked.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhang Mufeng explained: "In the same way, it is impossible for Fu Hong to go out with hundreds of people!" Although the number of soldiers and horses in Great Wei is not very large, our brothers are all elite soldiers and strong generals, this point, Fu Hong knows very well in his heart, if he really has any big goals, it is impossible to bring only a few thousand people, so the last general boldly speculates that the people around him are at least tens of thousands! And in order to make the march unaware, more than 10,000 must be cavalry! Since this is the case, it will be much easier to find a cavalry force of no less than 10,000 people! ”

"Now there are wasteland forests everywhere, and there are mountains and valleys, although there are not many cavalry of more than 10,000, but there is always a place to hide, do you know, from south to north, the Di people, there may be too many places to hide! There are more than a dozen counties and counties, large and small, when will this be found? ”

Zhang Mufeng confidently said to Ran Min: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that as long as you are careful, the clues are not difficult to find!" ”

Ran Min patiently asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Zhang Mufeng explained: "The cavalry of more than 10,000 people, the place where they pass, it is impossible not to have the slightest trace, first of all, don't say don't wait, it is the war horse ridden by the cavalry of more than 10,000 people, there is always horse manure, right?" The horse manure left behind by more than 10,000 cavalry can be an important clue! ”

"Anything else?" Ran Min asked again.

Zhang Mufeng nodded, saluted and said: "Now that spring has begun, the buds of the spring grass have already emerged, it is impossible for this war horse not to like to eat tender, right?" It's true that there are wasteland forests all over the mountains, but this war horse can't leave no traces, right? Gotta nibble on some tender grass or something! This may also be a clue! ”

"Very reasonable!" Ran Min suddenly realized, stood up and said to Zhang Mufeng: "Your insights are very good!" ”

"But the problem is, even if you know how to find Fu Hong, it's still not that easy to find! And I'm afraid, even if we find Fu Hong's soldiers and horses, our Tanma may not have the ability to come back alive! Xue Zan said.

Vice General Gou interrupted everyone's conversation and said, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is too early to discuss this, and he should first determine whether this commander is Fu Hong or not!" ”
