The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and Zhang Mufeng said: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, you go back to the camp tent to rest!" ”

Ran Min nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly a person came to report: "Your Majesty, someone from Yecheng is here!" ”

"Yecheng? Who's coming on the big night? Zhang Mufeng asked.

"It's Mr. Qin!"

Ran Min was a little surprised and asked, "Where is the gentleman?" ”

"The chariot and horses have passed the gate! Horses and cars are forbidden to gallop in the camp, and the gentleman is coming on foot! ”

Ran Min hurriedly went to greet Qin Huaishan in person, and after walking a few steps, he saw several people holding torches and carrying sabers at their waists, and an old man with gray hair, leaning on his back and wearing a cloak, walking towards Ran Min.

Qin Huaishan stopped, saluted and said, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

Ran Min hurriedly stepped forward to help Qin Huaishan and asked, "Mr. is not staying in Yecheng, why did he suddenly come here?" ”

Qin Huaishan said: "I heard that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Hu people are going south, and the war in Xiangguo is tense, and the old minister can't rest assured, so he has come to do his best for Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Huaishan coughed, and Ran Min asked, "Is Mr. sick?" ”

Qin Huaishan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" Recently, I've been feeling a chill from time to time, so it's no big deal! Thank you for your majesty's relationship! ”

Ran Min nodded and said, "It's cold outside, Mr. will follow me into the account!" ”

"Your Majesty Xie......"

Zhang Mufeng personally burned charcoal, and there was gradually a trace of warmth in the originally cold tent, and a pot of hot water was boiling on the stove. Ran Min and Qin Huaishan sat by the fire, Ran Min personally took off the cloak on Qin Huaishan, Qin Huaishan was very moved, and hurriedly wanted to get up to thank him, Ran Min pressed his shoulder and said, "Mr. sit." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

Ran Min threw the cloak to Zhang Mufeng, then sat down, Qin Huaishan said: "The old minister heard that it was Murong Ping who led the troops south this time!" ”

"That's right! Sir knows about this person? ”

Qin Huaishan nodded and said: "Murong Jun is the son of Murong Hao's brother, he once worshiped Dugu Nanxin to learn martial arts and join the army, he is familiar with the art of war, and he is well versed in strategy, even the resourceful Murong Jun also looks at him differently. This time, he led the troops south, and Murong Ke was already a vanguard general, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, which was a big challenge for His Majesty and Great Wei! ”

"Thanks to the fact that Mr. thought of the Huns outside Yanmen Pass, otherwise I might have ignored the possibility of the Hu people attacking from the west."

"Your Majesty is leading the troops alone, and the old minister is worried every day, even if he is in Yecheng, he must do his best to give advice to His Majesty. But the current situation is far worse than Lao Chen expected, so Lao Chen can't stay in Yecheng anymore! ”

"Our soldiers and horses have fought against Hu several times, and in general, they have the upper hand. Don't hide it, sir, I think there seems to be some problem here, and I was talking to Mu Feng about this matter just now. ”

"The old minister has heard about the battle between the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei and the Hu people, and he also thinks that there is something strange about this matter, so he hurried over today, for fear that Murong Ping would play some tricks."

"What is the opinion of the gentleman on this matter?"

"Lao Chen thinks that this successive victory may really be Murong Ping's plan to lure the enemy!"

"I am also suspicious, but it is only a suspicion, and there is no complete reason!"

"If this plan is true, using the loss of thousands of people to set up this game is enough to show that Murong Ping's methods are ruthless enough. I don't know if Your Majesty has ever sent someone to inquire about the people who died at the hands of our army before, were they Shijian's men and horses, or Xianbei people, or Huns? ”

Ran Min was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything to say about this?" ”

Qin Huaishan stroked his beard and explained to Ran Min: "There is a lot of article here!" Everyone has selfish intentions, let alone when facing the fate of their family and country. The Xianbei people and the Huns have been enemies for generations, at this time the Xiongnu were surrendered by the Murong clan, nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses outside, tens of thousands of people are Huns, and tens of thousands are Qian, only 100,000 soldiers and horses are Xianbei people. The Murong clan is trying to swallow the world, and such a thing as sending them to death will naturally not let them Xianbei people do it! ”

Ran Min nodded slightly, suddenly realized, and said, "So that's what Mr. meant!" ”

"The old minister suggested that His Majesty let someone check this matter, whether Murong Ping has any conspiracy or not, after the investigation, you will know!"

"Sir's words have solved the doubts that have plagued me for many days!" Ran Min patted Qin Huaishan's hand, and then instructed Zhang Mufeng: "After dawn, go and find out this matter immediately!" ”

Zhang Mufeng saluted and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

"With Mr. here, my heart is much more steady!" Ran Min finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you plan to do next?"

"Recently, I've been thinking hard about what to do with the enemy! But I still have no clue! ”

"Fight before you act, don't be impatient. I heard that the morale of the generals in the army has been high recently, but they have become arrogant, I am afraid that this is not a good thing, and the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and Your Majesty must not ignore it. ”

"The gentleman is well-informed."

"And that's to be expected! With General Lee's character, he will definitely have the idea of underestimating the enemy. ”

Ran Min glanced at Zhang Mufeng and said slowly: "I was really right by Mr. ”

Qin Huaishan stroked his beard and said, "The more at this time, the more Your Majesty has to calm down!" The old man thought that in the current difficult situation, he must not act brutally and be able to plan to win. ”

"What I lack now is a plan!"

"The Hu people have not been stationed in Xiangguo for a long time, and they are still stationed outside, which actually shows that Murong Ping must have his plan. The old minister thought that we could lead our troops south and pretend to withdraw our troops to Handan. ”

"Withdrawal?"

Qin Huaishan nodded and said, "That's right, withdraw the army!" ”

"These fields that the soldiers have worked so hard to gain will be able to grow grain in a few months, so how can we withdraw our troops at this time?"

"Murong Ping has not attacked in a big way so far, because he is not sure, if we retreat at this time, he will definitely think that we are afraid of them, and then wave the army south, only if he moves, we will have a chance to find his flaws. Your Majesty, you must not neglect the big picture for the sake of these grains. ”

Ran Min frowned slightly, and said, "With this alone, I'm afraid you can't let Murong Ping be fooled, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is right! Not enough! We also need to walk out with some fake news to make Murong Commentary believe that it is true. ”

"What fake news?"

"Not enough food and grass!" Qin Huaishan said.

"Insufficient food and grass ......" Ran Min couldn't help but ponder.

"The grain and grass in Anyang, Yecheng, Handan and other places can only barely support the first spring harvest in the spring of next year. If we let out the rumors at this time, saying that the Great Wei is short of grain and grass, presumably Murong Ping will definitely believe that in this case, if we are leading troops to retreat south, he will take the initiative to attack! ”

"Makes sense! What is the sir going to do? ”

Qin Huaishan leaned in Ran Min's ear and whispered a few words, and Ran Min nodded slightly.

"Sir's plan is good! It's just that I gave these tuntian to the hands of the Hu people, and I am really a little reluctant! Ran Min sighed and said, "But focusing on the overall situation, it's really worth it!" ”

"Then Your Majesty agreed to the old minister's suggestion?" Qin Huaishan asked.

"Just do what you do!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

......

At this moment, in the Xianbei camp, Murong Ping was reading by candle at night, Murong Ke suddenly broke in, Murong Ping's men couldn't stop him, only to see Murong Ke ask directly: "It's been half a month, thousands of people have died, when did Ran Min take the bait?" ”

Murong Ping put down the book in his hand, still with that smiling face, and said, "What's the hurry?" To fight, you have to hold your breath! When the time comes, I'll take the next step. ”

After speaking, Murong Ping picked up the book again and continued to read, Murong Ke was a little impatient, sat opposite Murong Ping, snatched the book in his hand, and asked, "I heard that you sent someone to Guanzhong?" ”

"That's right! Got off more than ten days ago, you knew it so quickly? Murong Ping said with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Murong Ke was a little displeased.

Murong Ping did not shy away from it at all, and said bluntly: "Brother Huang has instructed that I will be fully responsible for leading the troops this time, and there is naturally no need to tell you about these small things first!" ”

Murong Ke asked: "What you said is light, such an important matter, I don't know as the leader of the troops, how can this battle be fought?" ”

"Don't worry, when Guanzhong brings back the news, after the matter is confirmed, it's not too late for me to tell you, it's too early to say!" Murong commented and stretched out his hand towards Murong Ke.

"What?" Murong Ke asked.

"Give me the book! If you don't look at it, why are you robbing it? Murong Ping said.
