Chapter 198 Heroes are like-minded
Linrong City has now become the base camp of the beggar army, and the 10,000 troops of the beggar army are all stationed in Linrong City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Compared with more than half a year ago, the beggar army basically fought every day, and the food was also the grain and grass taken from the hands of foreign races, and the cattle and sheep, Ran Min had never been treated badly, and the beggar army had undergone earth-shaking changes.
These beggar troops, in terms of equipment, seized the weapons and armor of the foreign race, and basically each of them was equipped with weapons, leather armor, and war horses. After more than half a year of fighting and training, the beggar army is also majestic and murderous.
In the general's mansion where Ran Min was in the city, Ran Min asked Guo Wei: "Brother Xian, how many people have come to join us recently. ”
Ran Min's face was full of exhaustion, now the Xiongnu and Xianbei are united, with nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses, and the beggar army is only 10,000, a huge gap in strength, Ran Min also had to issue an order to kill Hu, hoping that the heroes of the Central Plains would come to help him.
Guo Wei shook his head and said: "There are not many people coming, although the general, although your order to kill Hu is exciting, but you don't care about the face of the Han Emperor, if you want to kill Hu Ling, you have to go through the merger, but the merger is in the hands of today's son." General, why don't you ask the Han court for help! ”
Ran Min snorted disappreciatively and said, "Hetao has been enslaved by foreign races for decades, and I haven't seen any action from the Han court. Now that I am taking everyone to fight foreign races, he does not want to fish in the water in the Han court. ”
Ran Min's order to kill Hu is completely to regard himself as the savior of the Hetao, and the call for heroes is also in the name of Ran Min himself. To a certain extent, it shows that Ran Min did not obey the orders of the Han government.
"General, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was so incompetent that the Hetao was lost, but now His Majesty is quite virtuous, and two years ago he defeated the alien alliance, so that the strength of the alien race in the Hetao has dropped several times...... "Guo Wei is a citizen of the Han Dynasty after all, and he helps the Han court to speak.
"If he was virtuous, why didn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the Hetao, so that the people of my Hetao were enslaved for a year in vain!" Ran Min said angrily.
His Royal Highness's beggar military captains and military marquis also shouted one after another: "I only listen to the general's orders, and I don't know what the Han Emperor is!" ”
These beggars were deeply enslaved by foreign races, and the most hated ones in their lives were aliens. If you want to talk about a hate, it is the Han court, and it is the incompetence of the Han court that makes them fall into a sea of suffering. Now that Ran Min is taking them to live again, and he has not felt the beggar army of the Han Emperor's grace, where will he identify with Liu Wei's Han court?
Guo Wei shook his head helplessly, if there was no help from the Han court, Ran Min would only be isolated in Hetao, without supplies and other necessities of life, and sooner or later he would be destroyed under the iron cavalry of the alien race.
But Guo Wei, as the second general of the begging army, has already been connected with the begging army, he is very intelligent, and suggested to Ran Min: "General, now we have a beggar army of 10,000 people, and there are also Shuofang and Dingxiang two counties under our jurisdiction, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 young and strong, and tens of thousands of old and young. ”
"Now what our beggars eat is foreign cattle and sheep, as well as stored grain and grass, which are enough for our needs, but what if we eat them all? Oil and salt, which are needed less and less, what will we do in the future? Guo Wei told the current plight of the beggar army.
"If the general doesn't want to rely on the Han court, he has to be self-sufficient!"
Ran Min rubbed his chin and said, "Brother Xian is asking me to form an official government and manage the people under my rule?" ”
Guo Wei nodded and said: "Yes, some of the water of the Yellow River flows through the land of Hetao, the land is fertile, it is a natural granary, the alien race is not good at taking care of it, the harvest is not good, the general should set up a yamen, manage the land and the people, reclaim the land, cattle and sheep should not be slaughtered, cattle and sheep are used to cultivate land, sheep can produce milk and give birth." Even salt will come to the mining wells, so as not to isolate us from the imperial court in the future! ”
"What Brother Xian said is even, it's just that most of the rough people under my command can't do these things!" Ran Min was quite embarrassed.
"Don't worry, general, I'll take care of these things."
Ran Min was overjoyed and said: "Then my cousin is a military advisor, and after solving the Xiongnu Xianbei Hugou, the virtuous brother will be able to handle government affairs with peace of mind." ”
"Report, general, deputy general, scout to report, many heroes from all over the country came to help!" Outside the door, a beggar army rushed into the temple in excitement.
"How many people came?" Ran Min wondered.
"There are a lot of them, as little as three or five in groups, as many as dozens or hundreds, and now thousands of people have gathered outside Dingxiang City, scouts have come to report, and many people are coming from Xihe, Shangjun Liangzhou and other directions!" The sergeant hurriedly replied.
"Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo Ma Teng's territory, it is not uncommon for someone to come, but Xiheshang County has to go through the jurisdiction of Liu Wei, how can anyone come to vote? Could it be that the killing order has not been banned? Ran Min muttered.
"General, I'm afraid it's the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who will help us, the top priority is to meet these heroes and heroes, since they are willing to help us, we must not slack off!" Guo Wei hurriedly reminded.
"What the virtuous brother said is very true, let's go out to greet it!" While speaking, Ran Min walked out of the city to greet heroes from all over the world.
At this time, thousands of people gathered outside the city, some of them led war horses, held weapons, some were scholars, and some were swords hanging from their waists, and some even had hoes and other agricultural tools. All of them were carrying baggage, obviously from afar.
At this time, it was already the end of February, and Ran Min's order to kill Hu was issued in early February, which was first circulated in Bingzhou and other counties, and Yang Jiye and others felt that the situation was serious, so they reported the situation of Hetao to Liu Wei. In fact, before Liu Wei allowed the circulation of the killing order, there were already many heroes in Bingzhou who knew about the situation in Hetao.
This is the first batch of heroes who went north to the Hetao, and in the future, after Liu Wei allowed the circulation of the killing Hu Ling, the heroes of Luoyang Sili and other places went, and then later, perhaps under the rule of other princes, there were heroes who went north to help Ran Min.
At this time, Ran Min and the Xiongnu only had a conflict just now, the Xiongnu were afraid of the strength of the beggar army, and did not dare to dispatch easily, and there were fewer people and horses, but they were defeated by Ran Min. And if you want to gather more people and horses, it will take time, but Ran Min also took this opportunity to constantly harass various tribes, at this time, friction has just occurred, if it is a real decisive battle, I am afraid it will take a while.
The alien race wanted to gather tribal forces and eliminate Ran Min's beggar army at one time, but Ran Min led the cavalry to constantly attack and harass, delay time, and issue an order to kill Hu, hoping that more heroes would come to help, so as to accumulate strength and deal with the 70,000 cavalry of the alien race.
Ran Min took Guo Wei and the main generals of the beggar army to the outside of the city, only to see thousands of people waiting outside the city, and he was overjoyed. (To be continued.) )
