"Commander Wei Xiaokuan of Jinyi Wei has seen General Ran!" Wei Xiaokuan was brought into the Linrong Mansion and met Ran Min. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing Wei Xiaokuan's official position, Ran Min instinctively disbelieved it, and sneered: "Jinyiwei is the minion of the Son of Heaven, and his commander is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, how could he come to my Hetao?" Who the hell are you impersonating? ”
Fortunately, Wei Xiaokuan knew that Ran Min would suspect his identity, so he brought someone familiar to Ran Min, and the guard behind him hurriedly explained: "General Ran Min, this is indeed the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I have followed General Yang a few times, the general doesn't believe him, he always knows me, right?"
Ran Min looked at the guard, he had indeed been with Yang Jiye a few times, and believed in Wei Xiaokuan's identity in his heart, but on the surface, he had a frosty face, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, what if you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" You have colluded with Mongolia to attack our Hetao, what is the conspiracy here? Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. ”
"Collusion with Mongolia? Where does this begin? Wei Xiaokuan estimated in his heart that Ran Min had fallen for the Mongolian divisiveness.
"Hmph, Hugh has to pretend, I'll let you die, a few days ago, my soldiers and horses transported the ploughing cattle back, and the weapons and armor obtained were robbed halfway, and the gang of thieves spoke Chinese, it was clearly your army pretending, and it was a transaction, and secretly not only seized the ploughing cattle, but also snatched back the weapons and armor, which is really deceitful!"
Wei Xiaokuan suddenly realized and hurriedly said: "General, you are really smart and confused for a while, the Mongols are insidious and cunning, this time he will naturally only target one side, in that case, one of us will definitely be suspicious." Now you already suspect that our army is colluding with the Mongols, isn't this already a plot? ”
Ran Min's heart sank, and he felt that what Wei Xiaokuan said made some sense, but now he didn't believe in Dahan, and waved his hand and said, "I don't care about the tricks of the Mongols, or your collusion with the Mongols. In short, our deal is canceled, and you don't have to send troops to the clouds, and I will solve the Mongols myself! ”
"Did the general send a messenger to Yanmen to send a letter?" Wei Xiaokuan asked.
"What? Didn't you receive it? Ran Min raised his eyebrows.
Wei Xiaokuan took out the letter written by Minmin Timur from his arms, handed it to Ran Min and said, "General, let's see if this letter was sent by you!"
Ran Min took the letter and looked at it, frowned and said: "The letter I sent is to cancel the transaction between the two parties, you must not send troops to Yunzhong, otherwise you will be my enemy." I have not urged you to send troops, but where did you come from this letter? ”
As he spoke, Ran Min handed the letter to Zhang Ju and asked, "This letter is your handwriting?"
Zhang Ju took a look, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The handwriting of this letter is similar to mine, but it is by no means from my hand, Master Wei, where did this letter come from?"
"Yesterday a messenger came to deliver a letter, claiming to be a messenger from General Ran, and when I saw that he was suspicious, I made a tentative remark that he was not a real messenger. I suspect that this is a trick of the Mongols, who set out at noon yesterday and galloped all the way here! Wei Xiaokuan explained.
"General, I'm really afraid that this matter is a conspiracy of the Mongols, first deliberately left a few live mouths, so that you misunderstand the Han army, and then they intercepted your messenger, imitated my handwriting to send a letter to General Yang, tempting General Yang to send troops to Yanmen, and then you learned, you must send troops to attack, this is the Mongolian divisive plan, let me kill each other!" Guo Wei and Zhang Ju still believed that the Han court was more in their hearts, so they advised Ran Min.
But Ran Min didn't believe the big man very much, and frowned: "This is not the Han army's trickery, don't be gullible!"
His Royal Highness Wei Xiaokuan laughed when he heard this: "The world says that Ran Min is a great hero, a great hero, now I look at it, but so, as the commander of the Han Jinyi Guard, I am an important minister of the Han Dynasty, if I collude with Mongolia, how can I be alone in danger, to the point that I am in danger?"
What's more, Mongolia is the great enemy of the Han Dynasty, the other side has unified the countries of the Western Regions, attacked Xiliang, and the former Fubo general Ma Teng died at the hands of the Mongols, such a great enemy, how can my Han cooperate with him to deal with the pillars of the country? The general's name is Hanchen, although he keeps preaching, but guarding the Hetao is like a moat, how can His Majesty destroy himself and cooperate with Mongolia? ”
Ran Min's face sank when he heard this, and he looked at Wei Xiaokuan and said, "I believe you, what do you want?"
"I have not been alarmed by the messenger, and now I should return to the main Mongol forces, and I will send someone to follow them quietly, and I will surely find out where his main forces are. After I go back, I will send troops to the clouds, and the general can deliberately lead the troops to attack, and when the time comes, I will tell you where the main force is, and the general will be responsible for the surprise attack around the rear, and we will attack Mongolia together! Wei Xiaokuan arched his hand and said.
"Okay, I promised, I'm giving you two hundred horses, you quickly return to Yanmen, ready to go on the expedition!"
"Thank you, General!" Wei Xiaokuan arched his hand, turned around and retreated.
Wei Xiaokuan got two hundred horses and ran back to Yanmen with one hundred horses, after Wei Xiaokuan left, Ran Min asked Guo Wei, Zhang Ju and the two said: "Do you think the Han army is credible?"
The two nodded and said in unison: "Credible, just by the battle of Yanmen, you can know the heart of the Son of Heaven, at the beginning, the power was weak, but he did not hesitate to fight with the Hetao aliens, it can be seen that the heart of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to collude with Mongolia."
Ran Min nodded and said, "I will believe him once, but I can't believe it all, how many cows are there in my city now?"
"There are more than a thousand heads!" Zhang Ju replied.
"Order the soldiers to prepare some hay and oil, and this time I will take 10,000 beggar troops to the battle, and I will also bring the ploughing cattle that are ready to trade." Ran Min ordered.
Hearing this, Guo Wei was puzzled: "Is it impossible for the general to use the fire ox array to deal with the Mongols?"
Ran Min nodded and replied: "If it is really a conspiracy of the Mongols, I will use the fire ox to deal with the Mongols, and if the Han army colludes with the Mongols, I can also use the fire ox to go crazy and return to Linrong safely!"
"The general is cautious, I will admire it, I will go and prepare!" Zhang Ju's face was full of admiration, and he immediately went down to prepare hay and oil.
And Wei Xiaokuan galloped all the way, and returned to Yanmen in the evening of the next day, Yang Jiye welcomed Wei Xiaokuan into the city, Lin Yu had also returned at this time, Yang Jiye hurriedly asked: "Military advisor, how is Ran Min's side?"
"Sure enough, it was the Mongols who made the conspiracy, and the Mongols deliberately targeted Ran Min, making him think that we were cooperating with the Mongols to deal with him. The letter sent by Ran Min was to cancel the transaction with us, and not to send troops to Yunzhong, otherwise he would be his enemy, and he would send troops against us. Wei Xiaokuan replied.
Yang Jiye slapped the table angrily and said: "I tried my best to ease the relationship with Ran Min, but I didn't expect to be ruined by the Mongols, it's really hateful."
Wei Xiaokuan said with a smile: "The Mongols are lifting stones to shoot themselves in the foot, I have cleared up the misunderstanding with Ran Min, I agreed with him, our army will send troops to Yunzhong first, and then he will lead his troops to intercept them, we will tell him where the Mongols are, he will lead his troops to raid the back of the Mongols, and we will join forces to flank the Mongols."
Yang Jiye was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's really good, Lin Yu has already found out where the main Mongolian force is, and our army is already waiting for the day, and we will send troops to the clouds tomorrow." Strategist, you go back and forth for three days, go down and rest first. ”
"Then I'll quit first!" Wei Xiaokuan looked tired and went down to rest, while Yang Jiye and Lin Yu were preparing to go on the expedition.
Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Jiye, Lin Yu, Wei Xiaokuan and the two led 10,000 cavalry north into Yunzhong, and after coming to Yunzhong County, Yang Jiye's army was stationed and deliberately sent scouts to find out where the Mongolian cavalry was.
The Mongol army was stationed on the border of Yunzhong County and was very hidden, and if Lin Yu hadn't followed the messenger to know the location, he wouldn't have been able to find out at all with scouts alone.
Wang Baobao was very happy to learn that Yang Jiye had 10,000 cavalry, just waiting for Ran Min to learn that Yang Jiye had sent troops and rushed to come, when the time came, they would fight on both sides, Wang Baobao was leading the cavalry to help Yang Jiye, then Yang Jiye had a hundred mouths and couldn't say clearly. However, considering that Yang Jiye had 10,000 cavalry and only 3,000 men and horses on his side, I was afraid that it would not be enough, Wang Baobao sent someone to inform Kublai who was stationed in the north of Shuofang, and asked him to lead the cavalry to converge.
The news of Yang Jiye's dispatch of troops reached Shuofang, and it happened that Wang Baobao's letter also reached Kublai Lai. Ran Min pretended to be furious and rushed to the clouds with 10,000 cavalry of the beggar army, and Kublai also led more than 2,000 cavalry from his headquarters to join Wang Baobao.
In the area of Chengle County, Yunzhong County, Yang Jiye's cavalry was stationed here, and Ran Min led 10,000 beggar troops to soon arrive here.
Ran Min led the soldiers and horses to the camp of the beggar army, Yang Jiye led a group of generals out of the camp, and did not want to see Yang Jiye, so Ran Min scolded: "Yang Jiye, I regard you as a hero in vain, I don't want you to collude with the Mongols to deal with me, I have forbidden you to send troops to Yunzhong, how dare you violate my territory?"
Yang Jiye pretended to be puzzled: "What letter? I didn't receive it at all, didn't you urge me to send troops to the clouds? There must be some misunderstanding in this! ”
"The old man still dares to deceive me?" Ran Min was furious, bent his bow and shot an arrow at Yang Jiye, Yang Jiye screamed and fell off the horse, and the generals were shocked and hurriedly dismounted to help Yang Jiye up.
Ran Min was about to rush over, and Lin Yu hurriedly commanded the soldiers to release arrows to defend against the enemy, and there were also soldiers on Ran Min's side who released arrows. The two sides exchanged fire for a while, and Ran Min led his troops to retreat.
The generals helped Yang Jiye back to the camp, but seeing that Yang Jiye was safe and sound, Yang Jiye pulled out the arrow with a smile, and it turned out that the arrow could shoot through the Kai armor on the shoulder, and it missed the flesh. Yang Jiye said with a smile: "Ran Min's archery technique is good, Lin Yu, I explained your affairs, have you done it well?"
Lin Yu arched his hand and said: "The arrows that our army shot at the beggar army earlier have already tied the information of the location of the main Mongolian force, I believe Ran Min already knows it at this moment."
On Ran Min's side, the retreating army set up camp for ten miles, and there were already soldiers who developed the arrows shot by the Han army with letters tied to them, and Ran Min got the main force of the Mongolian army, and secretly led three thousand cavalry to drive away the cold and plough cattle that night, and went north by detour.
