After Jiang Gan and Wang Wu discussed it, he thought that Pu Jian had to march to the northeast whether he retreated to Jicheng or went to Qinghe County, so it was the best choice to set up an ambush in the city of Qiuqiu, which was dozens of miles northeast of Yecheng.

After some preparations, Wang Wu, the general of Wei, led most of the men and horses and quietly marched in the direction of Quqiu City, preparing to intercept the main troops and horses under Pu Jian's command and teach Pu Jian a hard lesson.

However, Jiang Gan and Wang Wu's wishful thinking was wrong, and Pu Jian had long expected that the Wei army would set up an ambush to intercept him, so he chose a roundabout retreat route to get rid of the entanglement of the Wei army and arrive at Lukou City as soon as possible.

Seeing that Pu Jian's army had withdrawn in a roundabout way, Wang Wu's army had no time to pursue, so he had to give up the pursuit and lead his troops to march in the direction of Yecheng.

After Wang Wu and Jiang Gan led the main army of Wei to return to Yecheng, Hua An and his more than 100,000 main soldiers and horses also arrived in Yecheng, and let the main army camp outside the city, and only the pro-guard army entered Yecheng to station.

After Hua'an entered Yecheng, Jiang Gan and Wang Wu came to meet and strode into the tent of the Chinese army.

"The king of the north, Yecheng fell to the hands of Pu Jian, it was all the fault of the last general, the king of Wei was captured by Pu Jiansheng and sent to Jicheng, it was also the fault of the last general, if it wasn't for the great success of the last general, he led the main army to attack Xiangguo City, Yecheng would not have been broken by Pu Jian." Jiang Gan first blamed himself deeply.

"King of the North, not only did the last general not persuade General Jiang well, but also instigated the general to raid Xiangguo City, and the last general also has an unshirkable responsibility, but. The country can not be without a king for a day, now, the king of my Great Wei State was plundered by the enemy, and the only one who is qualified to inherit the throne is the king of Pengcheng who is hostage in Jiankang City, and the last general will ask the king of the north to ask the court of the Great Jin Dynasty for the king of Pengcheng. Wang Wu clenched his fists and pleaded.

Jiang Gan and Wang Wuming came to ask for guilt, but in fact, they wanted to ask themselves to ask the court for Ran Ming, Hua An naturally understood their thoughts, and now, Ran Min's heirs, in addition to those who were killed and captured. There is only Wang Ranming of Pengcheng who was imprisoned in Jiankang City. Other than that, no one could inherit the throne of Wei.

In this case, Jiang Gan and Wang Wu's request seemed very reasonable, and Hua An could not find a reason to oppose it. Thereupon. He nodded and agreed: "The two generals can rest assured. This king will definitely play the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, let the court canonize the king of Pengcheng as the king of Wei, and come to Yecheng to inherit the unification. ”

"Thank you, King North." Jiang Gan and Wang Wu hugged their fists and thanked him.

Hua An took the map in his hand. Looking at Jiang Gan and Wang Wu, Zhengse said: "The matter of the king of Pengcheng, this king will do his best to handle it, but at present, the main army of Yan State is shrinking Jicheng, and the tens of thousands of troops under Pu Jian are also withdrawing in the direction of Lukou, and the four counties of the plain, Bohai, Qinghe, and Leling in the southeast of Jizhou are a good time to recover, and the two generals should immediately lead the main army to receive the four counties. ”

"Yes, King of the North." Wang Wu and Jiang Gan clasped their fists to accept the order.

Hua An nodded, signaling the two to retreat, after the two left the Chinese army tent, Hua An pondered, right now, the Yan Dynasty coalition army was temporarily beaten back, but it won't be long before they recover their strength, they will definitely continue to attack themselves, therefore, Hua An feels that he must seize this opportunity to strengthen the strength of the army under his command, so as to make himself invincible.

"Your Majesty, General Wang has sent an urgent message, please take a look at it." At this moment, a junior colonel handed over the letter sent by Wang Meng to Hua'an.

Hua'an opened the letter and looked at it, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, in the letter, Wang Meng not only showed Hua'an the recent development results of Guanzhong, but also told Hua'an about his plan to prepare to train the new army, and asked Hua'an for instructions.

Wang Meng's tone was very loud, and he proposed to Hua'an to train 100,000 elite cavalry in one breath, and had already raised 50,000 war horses in Guanzhong, and in addition, 50,000 war horses were transferred from the large pastures in Liangzhou.

Hua An looked extremely satisfied after seeing this mentions, he had long planned to let Wang Meng train an elite cavalry force of 100,000 horses in Guanzhong, but he was worried about the problem of grain and grass, and he had not made up his mind for a long time, now, Wang Meng had carefully reported the agricultural situation in Guanzhong to himself, and said that at this moment, the time to train 100,000 main cavalry was fully ripe, and in order to deal with the chaos in the world, it was necessary to start training immediately.

"Your Majesty, what did General Wang say?" Seeing Hua An's joy, Wang San asked softly.

Hua An smiled and said happily: "General Wang has raised 100,000 war horses and is preparing to train 100,000 elite cavalry, so I would like to ask this king for instructions?" ”

"This is a good thing, Your Majesty! The Yan Dynasty coalition army is not dead, and if one more army is formed, it will have more strength, which should be approved. Wang San felt that such a team should be formed.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Right now, the time is completely ripe, this king naturally must agree, not only that, but the main army of Hebei must also be trained and expanded, so that after a year, it can form an overwhelming advantage over the Yan Dynasty coalition army." ”

Subsequently, Hua An and Wang San and other generals began to study how to improve and expand the main army under their command, so that the army under their command would have a stronger strength.

In the direction of Jicheng, Murong Ke and the main army under his command have arrived at the outskirts of Jicheng and set up camp in the suburbs, Murong Ke and the main generals naturally immediately entered the palace of Jicheng and reported the battle situation to Murong Jun.

Although Murong Ke and the main army under his command did not achieve any gratifying results, and even had a record of defeat with a loss of troops, Murong Jun did not blame Murong Ke, but comforted and encouraged.

The reason why Murong Jun did this was because it was meaningless to be angry and accuse, blaming his subordinates could not turn defeat into victory, besides, Murong Ke was already the first general of the Yan army, and if he sent other generals, he was afraid that he would lose more people.

"Second brother, although our army suffered a small defeat on the south bank of Zhangshui, Pu Jian successfully broke through Yecheng and captured the monarch and many ministers of Wei, so one victory and one defeat, our army and the Jin army were also a draw." Murong Ba Zhengse said.

Murong Jun smiled and said softly: "By the way, Ran Zhi and other monarchs and ministers of the Wei State have been imprisoned in Jicheng for a long time, these days, there are constantly people robbing the prison and trying to save Ran Zhi and others, but they have all been thwarted by my Dayan's jailers, I think these people must be loyal to Ran Min and the warriors of the Wei State, there are so many warriors, one after another to save Ran Zhi, which makes it difficult for the second brother to feel at ease!" ”

When Murong Ke and Murong Ba heard this, they naturally understood Murong Jun's worries, right now, Ran Min had already been killed, Ran Zhi and other Wei royal families were also imprisoned in Jicheng, the Great Wei State was already exhausted, in this case, there are still a large number of warriors who are not afraid of death to be loyal to the Wei State, this is a terrible signal, if the people of Hebei are loyal to the Wei State, then the Great Yan Kingdom will not be able to gain a foothold in Hebei for a long time, and it will be even more impossible to dominate the world.

"Second brother, if you want the people of Wei to give up their allegiance to Wei, you must slaughter Ran Min's heirs, so that you can break the thoughts of these Wei warriors." Murong Ba said loudly.

"Since the second brother has already killed Ran Min, there is no need to let Ran Zhi go, in order to conquer Hebei, Ran Zhi must not stay." Murong Ke also thinks so.

"What you mean is for me to kill Ran Zhi and the ministers of Wei." Murong Jun asked softly.

Murong Ke clenched his fists and said: "Yes, second brother, in order to cut off the thoughts of the people of Wei, Ran Zhi must be executed, and the important ministers of Wei are loyal to Ran Zhi, and they can't stay, kill them together, and get rid of future troubles forever." ”

When Murong Jun heard this, he rubbed his chin and nodded, "Okay, then let's kill them all!" ”

"Report, Your Majesty, the Yecheng scouts have sent an urgent report." At this moment, important news came from Yecheng.

Murong Jun didn't dare to delay, he hurriedly took it, and after reading it, he suddenly slapped his head and showed a sly smile.

"Second brother, what happened in Yecheng?" Murong Ba hurriedly asked.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Murong Jun's mouth, and he said loudly: "Yecheng has just sent back the news, Hua'an agreed with Jiang Gan, the general of Wei, and Wang Wu's Jianyi, to send his henchmen to Jiankang City, to take Ran Ming back to Yecheng as a hostage, and make Ran Ming the king of Wei. ”

"Ran Ming, we almost forgot about this person, he is the same as Ran Zhi, he is the heir of Ran Min, if Ran Ming returns to Yecheng to become king, it will be a big threat to my Great Yan Kingdom!" Murong Ba said loudly.

"Second brother, we should immediately send assassins to Jiankang City, no matter what, we must not let Ran Ming return to Yecheng alive." Murong Ke said with a straight face.

Murong Jun nodded, looked at Murong Ba, and said, "Fifth brother, the task of assassinating Ran Ming will be handed over to you, and you can choose the people of the palace guards." ”

"Yes, second brother, I will not let you down." Murong Ba accepted the order with reluctance.

Subsequently, Murong Ba carefully selected more than 100 warriors of the Yan Kingdom with strong martial arts in the palace, and asked them all to change into the clothes of the Jin people, prepare to divide the troops into multiple routes, and at the same time rushed to the direction of Healthy City, and merged in the suburbs of Jiankang City, and then under the command of Murong Ba, killed Ran Ming in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Murong Jun sent his henchmen to send the highly poisonous food to the prison, and watched Ran Zhi and other Wei monarchs eat it, and secretly poisoned Ran Zhi and other Wei monarchs.

Ran Zhi and other monarchs and ministers of the Wei State, since they entered the prison of Jicheng, they have eaten coarse tea and light rice that is difficult to swallow, and occasionally there will be some undercooked mutton, such a bad treatment has already tortured them inhumanly, and now, seeing that their food has suddenly improved a lot, many ministers seem to have guessed something, but they are now reduced to prisoners, even if they know that the food is poisonous, they have to eat it.
