Yue Fei and the others had been hovering in front of Ran Min's tomb for a long time, and were about to leave, when they suddenly saw a group of people walking at the foot of the low mountain, old and young, men and women, walking towards Ran Min's grave.

Zhang Heng's eyesight is very good, and he recognized the person at a glance. Hurriedly told Yue Fei that this group of people was the people from Ranjiazhuang near the low mountain. The people of this village are said to be descendants of Ran Min. The tall old man in the lead, known as Mrs. Ran, is over 70 years old this year and does a good carpentry job. The wooden ware he made was once offered as a tribute by Neihuang County.

Since Yue Fei Jiqian was all wearing armor, she looked quite amazing. When Mrs. Ran walked a hundred steps away from the cemetery, he stopped, as if he was discussing something with his family.

Zhang Heng immediately guessed Taigong Ran's concerns, and hurriedly shouted loudly, "Don't be afraid, Taigong. This is Yue Invincible of Tangyin County, the training envoy of the Protector Army, because he admires King Ran as a person, he came to worship on the mountain. Taigong can come with confidence. ”

Zhang Hengping deals with Taigong Ran on a daily basis, and there are also people from the Ran clan in his army. Therefore, Mrs. Ran has a lot of trust in Zhang Heng. Seeing Zhang Heng say this, he immediately led his family to move forward.

Mrs. Ran really looks old, with wrinkles on his face, only his still straight back still shows the stubbornness of his master. Walking up to Yue Fei's approach, Taigong Ran first arched his hand and said, "Is this general really Ying Tianfu's Protector Legion training Yue Invincible?" ”

Yue Fei hurriedly returned the salute with his fists and said respectfully, "Taigong Mo said so. In front of King Ran, how dare Yue claim to be invincible? Taigong can call me Yue Fei. ”

Ran Taigong said in awe, "It turned out to be Yue Fei, the training envoy of the Ying Tianfu Protector Legion who saved countless people, and it was really extraordinary. After I have worshiped the ancestors, I will come and talk to Yue Tuanlian Envoy. ”

There were more than 20 people who came to worship Ran Min, most of them were men, and there was only one girl. The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows and extremely beautiful eyes, but her eyes were like bright stars, which added a heroic spirit to this girl. When Taigong Ran and Yue Fei were talking, she raised her eyes to look at Yue Fei from time to time. Seeing Yue Fei, Zhang Heng and the others retreating, and when Ran Taigong began to worship her ancestors, this little girl knelt behind Ran Taigong and seemed to be secretly saying something to Ran Taigong.

After worshipping Ran Min, Mrs. Ran knelt in front of the tomb and couldn't stand for a while, looking at Ranjiazhuang under the low mountain for a while, looking at Yue Fei for a while, and looking at the southwest for a while, as if thinking about something big.

Yue Fei obviously also saw that there was something in Taigong Ran's heart, because he asked Zhang Heng, in addition to the New Year's festival and the whole clan to worship their ancestors, they only came to worship their ancestors on ordinary days, that is, on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month. Today is neither a festival nor the fifteenth day of the new year, and Mrs. Ran's family came to worship their ancestors, obviously there is something else hidden.

Taigong Ran seemed to have finally made up his mind, led the clansmen to Yue Fei, and said, "Yue Tuanlian has been through a hundred battles, invincible, and good at managing the place. ”

Yue Fei fell into deep thought for a while. Ever since he got Yue Xiaofei's memory, everything he did was to deal with Jin ** Jun. But up to now, he only has more than 20,000 horses, and only 5,000 cavalry, and in the face of 200,000 Jurchen iron horsemen this winter, no one dares to say that he will win. This is not the declining Jurchen Iron Horse at the end of the Jin Dynasty, this is the Jurchen Iron Horse at its peak. He is the most powerful iron rider in the world in this era. In the first battle of Hubu Dagang, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry broke through the 700,000 elite soldiers of the Great Liao with 3,000 cavalry, creating a record of winning more with less in the history of world warfare.

If nothing else, just look at the remnant general Yelu Dashi of the Great Liao, who was vulnerable in front of the Jurchen soldiers, was captured, and after escaping, he led thousands of remnants of the Great Liao, but he was invincible in Central Asia and built a powerful Western Liao Empire.

What's more, at this time, all the famous generals of the Jurchens were still alive and still leading the troops to fight. The cannibalism of the Jurchens has not yet begun. Shou Yan Zonghan, Wan Yan Lou Room, Wan Yan Zongwang, Wan Yan Chang, Wan Yan Zongbi, Yinshu Ke, Sa Li, which is not a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles. This winter, these famous generals will divide their troops into three routes and invade the Central Plains on a large scale. When the time comes, with the hundreds of thousands of righteous troops recruited by the sect marshal, as well as his own 20,000 people's protectors, will they really be able to resist? It is not to block it at the cost of losing the north of the Yellow River in the original history, but to maintain the current situation. To be honest, Yue Fei was not sure.

Facing Ran Taigong's question, Yue Fei thought for a moment and said angrily, "Whether I can defend the Central Plains or not is not in the Jin people, but in the people of the Central Plains such as me." If we stick to our homeland, the Central Plains will be able to defend it. If we flee and only want to move our family to safety, the Central Plains will fall into the hands of the Jinren. A hundred years of romance will be ruined, and the prosperous Central Plains will become a wasteland. How can the prince bear it? ”

When Taigong Ran heard Yue Fei talk about the relocation family, his face suddenly became a little ugly. The little girl behind him with picturesque eyebrows saw that Yue Fei dared to ridicule the prince in his words, and immediately said loudly, "Yue Tuanlian said it well, is it only allowed that you military masters are allowed to flee from the wind, and we ordinary people are not allowed to flee from the wind?" Is it fair that my ancestor Ran Min has contributed to the world, but he has only been given the title of a traitor? Yue Tuanlian only cares about encouraging our people to stick to their homes, I Ran Qing wants to ask you, do you dare to stick to your homeland? ”

Mrs. Ran drank Ran Qing, who wanted to continue, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, my granddaughter is straightforward and fast-talking, and she will never be pretty." ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "The young girl is right. I, Yue Fei, was originally from Tangyin County, but I have been fighting south of the Yellow River for the past year, and I have not stuck to my homeland at all. However, those who are soldiers must obey military orders, and those who are generals must obey the orders of generals. At that time, as a corporal of King Kang's account, I naturally had to follow King Kang's banner to fight in all directions. Now that I am only the leader of the militia, I no longer need to listen to King Kang's orders. Taigong, Miss Ran, in front of King Ran, I, Yue Fei, solemnly swear, the Jin people go south, I dare not say that I will not retreat an inch, but my people's army will definitely retreat later than the people. ”

Ran Qing snorted, "That's a nice thing to say." Who knows. ”

That side had already annoyed Ji Qian. Ji Qian had long looked at Ran Qing unpleasantly, a beautiful girl who spoke with thorns. So Ji Qian shouted loudly beside her, "I said Miss Ran, do you think everyone is as timid as you?" Before the Jin people went south, they had to move their families south. If everyone in the Central Plains is like you, the Jin people will be able to occupy the Central Plains while lying down. In the past two months, my eldest brother Yue has been operating Yingtian, just to fight to the death with the golden dog. ”

When Ji Qian spoke, her eyes were wide open, and the beard on her face was stinging, which was extremely terrifying. But Ran Qing was not afraid at all, still looked at Yue Fei and said, "Yue Tuan's practice is to manage Yingtian's affairs, and my family has also heard about it. If tens of thousands of iron horsemen rush straight to Yingtian, Yingtianjian City is fearless, can the people flee into the city? It is very unwise to think that Yue Tuan's training envoy has planted the foundation of the Protector Army in Yingtian. ”

Yue Fei only regarded Ran Qing as a straightforward girl at first, but when he heard Ran Qing talk about Ying Tian's disadvantages, he couldn't help but look at Ran Qing again. As Ran Qing said, Ying Tianfu is a horse and a flat river, and if you want to take Ying Tian as the foundation, you must have a strong enough field force to fight so that the Jin soldiers dare not peep at Ying Tian. But the current Protector is clearly not that strong. Although Yue Fei had already left a way back for the Protector Army, that is, if the Jin people were too strong, the whole army would retreat to Xuzhou, Huaibei and other places. But those backhands obviously don't need to talk to Ran Qing. More importantly, Yue Fei believed that within a year, the Jin people would not want to open the Yellow River defense line. Until Zong Shuai's death next summer, the Jin and Song dynasties had been engaged in a tug-of-war north of the Yellow River.

Here, Yue Fei's speculation made a huge mistake. He forgot that his Protector Army did not exist in the original history, because the Protector Army rose in eastern Henan and had already attracted the attention of Mr. Jin, the spy master of the Jin State. Therefore, this winter's Jin ** army will change the allocation of troops. You must know that all famous generals are extremely adaptable to wars, and only mediocre generals will rigidly deploy troops according to the established strategy. The marching map and formation map that Song Taizong assigned to the front-line generals can be said to have completely restrained the creativity of the Song generals. Yue Fei was also unconsciously bound by Yue Xiaofei's memory here. That's why this winter's Protector Army will encounter a great crisis. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Yue Fei didn't care about Ran Qing's sarcasm at all, and arched his hand and said, "In Miss Ran's opinion, where should my Protector Army occupy in order to fight with the Golden Iron Cavalry?" ”

Ran Qing smiled, "Yue Tuan training envoy, you are just a training envoy of the Protector Legion of Ying Tianfu, do you still have the power to occupy other places?" If I tell you that I am occupying the Daimyo's Mansion, do you still dare to expel the appeasement of Hebei West Road to make Zhang Suo? ”

Yue Fei saw that the more Ran Qing said it, the more unpleasant it became, so he almost said that he was a traitor, and immediately sank his face. Ran Taigong observed the words, hurriedly drank Ran Qing, and said with a smile again, "General Yue, don't be like my granddaughter. She doesn't know anything about military affairs, she just talks about it casually. To tell you the truth, she went to your Ying Tianfu last month to take a look. Because we wanted to move our family to Yingtianfu. ”

Yue Fei and Zhang Heng glanced at each other, and immediately understood the reason why the Ran family went to Ran Min's tomb to worship today. The Jin ** army is already ready to move, presumably the Ran family has seen that the war disaster is inevitable and wants to move their family. However, looking at the meaning of Ran Taigong, it seems that Ran Qing went to Ying Tianfu, but he was not optimistic about Ying Tianfu. The destination of their migration this time was definitely not Ying Tianfu.

Thinking of this, Yue Fei couldn't help asking, "I don't know where Ran Lao wants to move?" ”

Ran Taigong hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ran Qing, and then replied, "Yuzhou, Sichuan." ”

Yue Fei had already understood at this time that although Ran Qing was a woman, she actually had a very heavy weight in the Ran family, otherwise the Ran family would not have sent her to Yingtianfu to explore the way. Hearing this, Yue Fei turned his face to Ran Qing and continued to ask, "Miss Ran, how can Ling Zu be able to withstand long-distance bumps at his age. Although Miss Ran looks down on my Yingtian Protector Army, I still suggest that you move to my Yingtian Mansion first. Take a look at the battle between us and the Jin people this winter, and then it's not too late to stay. Ran Tianwang fought to the death with Zhuhu back then, but he didn't hear that Ran Tianwang had the intention of retreating. As a descendant of the Heavenly King, Miss Ran thinks of herself as bold, why doesn't she even have the courage to wait and see, so she has to flee in panic? ”

When Ran Qing heard Yue Fei mention Ran Min's bravery back then, she suddenly became even more angry, and said loudly, "My ancestor died on the battlefield, but he didn't even have a good reputation. Since then, our Ran family has learned a truth, to protect oneself. ”

Yue Fei also said coldly, "Everyone wants to repay their lives, I'm afraid that my Central Plains will suffer another Wuhu disaster." Miss Ran is a smart person, and she should understand that the reputation of her ancestors is not in the pen of shameless literati, but in the hearts of heroes in the world. And why care about the opinions of shameless literati? ”

Zhang Heng applauded next to him and said, "General Yue said it well. The name of Ran Tianwang is not in the pen of shameless literati, but in the hearts of heroes in the world. ”

Ran Qing wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Mrs. Ran. Taigong Ran solemnly bowed to Yue Fei and said with emotion, "General Yue's words today are enough to add color to the ancestors. Thank you, little old man, here. To tell the truth, Xiao Lao'er is seventy-five this year, and he really doesn't want to leave his village. Xiao Lao'er was born in Neihuang and wanted to die in Neihuang County. Buried on this mountain, you can also be with your ancestors. ”

Ji Qian said loudly beside her, "Why should the prince worry. With my Protector Army, what a way to do the Golden Dog Army! Seeing that Ran Qing wanted to speak again, Ji Qian rolled her eyes and continued, "Miss Ran, although you are smart, it's a pity that you are only a woman's smart. You don't understand the meaning of fighting. I don't understand the value of home. Before the Jin people arrived, they wanted to abandon their homes and run away, and you were embarrassed to say that you want to run?! ”

Ran Qing was so angry by Ji Qian's words that she trembled. was about to choke a few words with Ji Qian, but was stopped by Mrs. Ran. Over there, Yue Fei also drank Ji Qian. Taigong Ran respectfully invited Yue Fei to enter the village for a while, "Little Lao'er has a gift for General Yue, and I hope that General Yue will enter the house for a while." ”
