When Empress Dong heard this, her heart couldn't help but feel cold, she raised her eyes slightly to look at Jiang Gan, and said anxiously: "Jiang Aiqing, according to this, is the emperor hopeless?" But if my Great Wei Kingdom does not have an emperor, how long can it last? After speaking, he reached out and tried the tears in the corners of his eyes.

As a woman, Queen Dong only hopes that her husband can be safe, and at this moment, in the face of the fact that Ran Min was captured by Yan Junsheng and the ministers had nothing to do about it, her heart was completely confused.

The crown prince Ran Zhi is still very young, and he does not have the bravery and ability of his father, and at this crisis juncture, there is also an inexplicable sense of powerlessness, he has no ability to save his father.

In fact, Jiang Gan's heart is also very uncomfortable, he is Ran Min's diehard faction, he also wants to lead the army to Jicheng to rescue Ran Min, but Yan Guo has occupied an absolute advantage, Murong Ke's main army is about to kill Yecheng, at this moment, from a pragmatic point of view, it is indeed necessary to go all out to defend Yecheng, as for Ran Min, who was captured alive, there is no better way than to give up.

Jiang Gan frowned, hugged his fists and said: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, the most important thing at the moment is to defend Yecheng with all his might, in case Yecheng falls, my Great Wei Kingdom is really over, please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wronged, and call the ministers to the Great Jin, if there is a chance in the future, the ministers will definitely do their best to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince restore the country." After speaking, he knelt on his knees in front of Prince Ran Zhi.

The crown prince Ran Zhi was young, and when he saw this, he looked at his mother in a panic.

Empress Dong raised her already red and swollen eyes, looked at Jiang Gan, and said softly, "Jiang Aiqing." The crown prince is young, the mourning family is a woman, and he has no ideas, so he will be handed over to Aiqing as soon as he is at his disposal, and the survival of Yecheng and even the survival of the Great Wei Kingdom depends on Aiqing. ”

When Jiang Gan heard this, he was immediately flattered, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you for the trust of the queen mother, the minister will do his best to protect Yecheng." Preserve the rivers and mountains of the Great Wei Kingdom. After saying that, he got up and walked to the ministers. Begin to discuss a specific course of action with the ministers.

"Lord Jiang, Jiankang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, is quite far away from Yecheng, if you send the table to Jiankang, it will take a few days to come and go. I'm afraid that Jin Guo hasn't replied yet. Murong Ke's army had already arrived in the city. A minister said.

"Yes! Master Jiang. Jiankang City is quite far away, but I am afraid that it is far away and cannot quench the thirst of the near, so it is better. Ask the border generals of the Jin State to surrender, and you may be able to get a reply sooner. Another minister said.

When Jiang Gan heard this, he felt that there was some truth, so he hurriedly said: "Right now, the closest to Yecheng is the Jin general Hua'an's department, I heard that his 100,000-strong army has been stationed in Hanoi County, if there is the support of Hua'an's troops and horses, it will be easy to block Murong Ke." ”

When a minister heard this, he said worriedly: "Lord Jiang, Hanoi County was originally the land of my Great Wei, and the Jin army occupied Hanoi County and stationed 100,000 troops, obviously to target our Great Wei State, if we ask the Jin army to reinforce Yecheng, I am afraid that after the Jin army comes, it will not leave again, and my Great Wei will really become a part of the Jin State." ”

Jiang Gan nodded and said softly: "You are right, but at the moment, the army of the Yan Kingdom has been slaughtered violently, and if we don't ask the Jin army for help, who can we count on?" After speaking, he sighed helplessly.

When the ministers heard this, they all sighed helplessly, they were worried that asking for help from the Jin army was to lure the wolf into the house, after all, all the territories of the Great Wei State were once part of the Great Jin Dynasty, especially the Jin Army's Hua'an Division, and the enthusiasm for recovering their homeland was very high.

But at this moment, the tiger is already eyeing the door, what can you do if you don't lure the wolf into the house? You can't feed a tiger with your body! The ministers of Wei had no better way than to ask the Jin army for help.

"Lord Jiang, the lower officials always feel that the Jin army may not believe us, and a table of surrender does not seem to be enough to show the sincerity of my Great Wei." One of the ministers whispered.

"Then in your opinion, how can we reflect the sincerity of our army?" Jiang Gan hurriedly asked.

The minister hurriedly said: "If you send the jade seal of our dynasty to the Jin army, you will definitely be able to gain the trust of the Jin army." ”

Jiang Gan was furious when he heard this, and said loudly: "No, the jade seal of the country is a symbol of the imperial power of the world, if the jade seal of the country is handed over to the Jin army, it will be difficult for my Great Wei State to recover in the future, besides, if the Jin army withholds the jade seal of the country and does not accept the invitation of my Great Wei to surrender, wouldn't it be bad, no, absolutely not." ”

"If you don't hand over such an important thing, how can the Jin army believe in my sincerity to surrender." The minister continued.

Jiang Gan said impatiently: "First plan to surrender the table, stamp it with the seal of His Royal Highness the Prince, and send it to Yewang City, if the Jin army has any requirements, it will not be too late to talk about it later." ”

"Yes, Master Jiang." One of the ministers clenched his fists and turned to prepare.

Subsequently, in order to increase the defensive strength of Yecheng, Jiang Gan boldly transferred tens of thousands of troops from Wei County and Ji County to Yecheng, these soldiers and horses were originally to guard against the Jin army on the South Road, and at this moment, in order to deal with the main force of Murong Ke's Yan army and hold Yecheng, he had to take risks.

#####

On the road leading from Yewang City to Wude City, the grain transportation team composed of 500 pro-guards and 500 Wudang Fei troops walked slowly, and they all looked so ordinary.

In order to increase the authenticity and make it impossible for Hou Ba and the Longteng dead soldiers under his command to see through it, Hua'an sent an additional hundred soldiers to 'protect' this grain transportation team.

Through the scout's investigation, Hua'an already knew the approximate location of Houba, so he asked the grain transport team to move slowly, and stopped to rest for a while at the location where Houba was very likely to appear, so as to increase the purpose of luring Houba and his men and horses.

As Hua An had planned, the men and horses sent out by Houba soon discovered this special grain transport team and immediately returned to the mountains, preparing to report the good news to Houba.

"General, I found the Jin army's grain transportation team at the foot of the mountain, there are more than 1,000 people, but the soldiers in charge of escorting are only 100 people." As soon as the soldier saw Hou Ba, he reported loudly.

Hou Ba was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Is it really the Jin army's grain transportation team, with only a hundred escort soldiers?" Can there be a Jin army brigade around? ”

The soldier hurriedly replied: "General rest assured, the villain has all been investigated, and within a radius of ten miles from the grain transportation team, there is no shadow of the Jin army brigade at all." ”

Hou Ba nodded, and said loudly: "The Jin army killed so many of our brothers, and now, his grain transportation team is under our noses, how can we let it go, we must kill this grain transportation team, avenge the dead soldiers, and in addition, grab a few truckloads of grain and go up the mountain." ”

When the soldiers under his command heard this, they all recognized Hou Ba's decision and immediately made the necessary preparations.

After a short period of preparation, Hou Ba led the only hundred or so soldiers under his command to the position of the Jin army's grain transportation team.

In a valley, Hou Ba and his soldiers found the Jin army's grain transport team resting, at this moment, the Jin army's grain transport team people, are resting leisurely, and the hundred soldiers in charge of escorting, also extremely lazy will weapons are still aside, and sit around roasting delicious mutton.

In fact, all the soldiers of the Jin army's grain transportation team did not really relax their vigilance, but looked around with extreme vigilance to prevent Hou Ba and his soldiers from launching a sneak attack, after all, Hou Ba and his soldiers and horses are extremely elite dragon and death soldiers, in case of insufficient preparation, they will pay heavy losses, and the task they received is that once the Houba army appears, they must resolutely annihilate all the Houba army at any price, leaving no one behind.

"General, you see, the Jin army's grain transportation team is all resting, this is a good opportunity for our army to do it!" A soldier whispered.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hou Ba's mouth, and he said softly: "Don't make a sound, hide the enemy, go up." After speaking, he quietly approached the Jin army's grain transportation team in the valley.

Although the Jin army's grain transport team was resting, they were all vigilant, countless eyes were staring at the every move of the surrounding grass and trees, and when the Houba army approached them, they had already felt the abnormality, and used code words to convey the situation to the surroundings, and it didn't take long for all the soldiers to know the situation on the mountainside.

Before the Houba Legion was about to attack, a Jin soldier in charge of escorting the soldiers glanced at the surrounding soldiers, motioned to the soldiers to pick up their weapons, and shouted loudly: "All up, get up, let's go." ”

The soldiers in charge of the escort hurriedly picked up their weapons and disguised themselves as soldiers in charge of transporting military rations, and immediately returned to their respective baggage carts and pushed the carts forward.

This casual action is to prepare for battle, so as not to have time to react after Hou Ba comes.

Seeing that the Jin army team was suddenly leaving, Hou Ba couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he was worried that the Jin army's grain transportation team had discovered them, but soon, he found that the Jin army was as usual, but it just happened to set off.

"General, the Jin army is ready to go, is our army going out?" A dragon warrior asked in a low voice.

Hou Ba grinned, and said: "Why do you want to throw away the fat meat in your mouth, go on, kill them all." ”

"Killing ......" Hou Ba and more than 100 Longteng dead soldiers under his command rushed towards the Jin army's grain transportation team.

"The bandits are here, run, run!" Several Jin soldiers shouted loudly.

In fact, this sentence is a rhetoric, a warning to the soldiers, prepare for battle.

More than 100 men and horses of Houba, soon killed into the Jin army's grain transportation team, the 100 soldiers responsible for escorting first fought with the men and horses under the command of Houba, and the remaining 1,000 elite soldiers, seeing that Houba and the men and horses under his command had all been killed, immediately pulled out the weapons hidden at the bottom of the baggage cart, and joined the task of strangling the Houba army.
