According to Yao Xiang's strategy, Zhang Ju wrote a letter to Li Nong in Yecheng again, and asked his henchmen to take a detour to the direction of Yecheng and hand it over to Li Nong.

At that time, Ran Min was just about to rest, and the beggar army sentry captured the Zhao soldier who delivered the letter and searched for the letter on his body.

A beggar army general on duty at night, seeing that the content of the letter was not trivial, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the big tent of the Chinese army to report the situation to Ran Min.

"Your Majesty, the sentry captured a soldier of Zhao and found a letter from him." The general said as he handed the letter in his hand to Ran Min's hand.

Ran Min took the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, the content of the letter was actually Zhang Ju and Li Nong's appointment to raise various circumstances, which couldn't help but make Ran Min think of the special relationship between Zhang Ju and Li Nong, if Li Nong really wanted to raise troops to rebel, the consequences would be very strict.

But this does not rule out that it is Zhao Guo's counter-plot, after all, Li Nong is his right and left hand, he is the second only general of the Great Wei State, and has a decisive influence in the Wei State, and it is very likely that Zhao State will provoke Li Nong and himself.

However, Ran Min knew that the situation of the Great Wei State was getting worse and worse, and in the case of an increasing shortage of military rations, it was difficult to guarantee that Li Nong would not use his relationship with Zhang Ju to take refuge in Shi Yuan of the Zhao State for the sake of his future future.

Whether it was Li Nong's desperation of the Great Wei State and his preparation to raise troops to join the Zhao State, or whether the Zhao State carried out a counter-plot in order to provoke his relationship with Li Nong, Ran Min could not judge for a while.

"Where did the whistle come to intercept this letter?" Ran Min looked at his general. Asked out loud.

"Back to the emperor, it was at the position of five miles on the left flank of our army's camp, at that time, this Zhao soldier saw our army's sentry horse, hurriedly dismounted and hid behind the surrounding bushes, and was caught by our army's sentry horse." The ministry will reply truthfully.

Hearing this, Ran Min nodded, according to this situation, the possibility of counter-plotting is much smaller, and the suspicion that Li Nong is about to rebel is also greater.

I think back to the time when I sent troops to Xiangguo. Li Nong tried his best to dissuade him. Ran Min was even more suspicious, and his heart became more worried.

In order to find out the specific situation in the direction of Yecheng, Ran Min sent Jing Zhan to lead some deaf and dumb warriors to secretly return to investigate the situation in Yecheng. to determine if there were any signs of rebellion in Li Nong.

When the soldier delivering the letter was caught by the sentry under Ran Min. Yao Xiang sent hundreds of elites. Dressed as ordinary people, he rode his horse to Yecheng as fast as he could, and assigned many secret tasks to these people. In order to divide the relationship between Ran Min and Li Nong, let these two most powerful figures in Wei fight each other, thus greatly weakening the strength of Wei State.

These hundreds of elites are all oriental faces, and they look no different from the ordinary people of Yecheng, so it is easy to blend into the city.

Early in the morning of the second day, hundreds of elites sent by Yao Xiang first entered Yecheng in batches, and then, Jing Zhan and his deaf-mute warriors also entered Yecheng safely and launched reconnaissance activities.

Outside the south gate of Xiangguo City, the main force of the beggar army under Ran Min did not attack Xiangguo City, but gathered all the men and horses to prepare for the all-out attack of Yao Xiang and other multi-way armies.

However, Yao Xiang and a few other people, as if they already knew that Ran Min was ready to meet the enemy on all sides, did not attack the beggar army, but stuck to their respective camps, and sent scouts to monitor the beggar army's every move.

At this moment, outside the south gate of Xiangguo City, the army of Wei and the army of Zhao, as well as Murong Ba's men and horses who reinforced Zhao, confronted each other.

At the same time as the confrontation, all sides are actively preparing for battle, ready to launch a thunderous blow at any time to completely crush the other side.

Li Nong stayed in Yecheng and conscientiously maintained the stability of Yecheng and provided reliable logistical support for the Ran Min army on the front line, which can be said to have contributed a lot.

But on this day, he inexplicably received a letter from his close friend Zhang Ju, in which Zhang Ju explained to Li Nong the fact that the army of Yan State was going south to help Zhao, Yecheng lacked grain and grass, and the Great Wei regime would collapse sooner or later, and said that Ran Min was ruthless, for the stability of the Great Wei regime, and for his own authority, he would sooner or later get rid of Li Nong, and let Li Nong give up following Ran Min and take refuge in Shi Yuan of Zhao.

In the face of the sincere letter from his best friend, Li Nong seemed very worried, Zhang Ju was right, the Great Wei regime was attacked on all sides, the food and grass were not enough, and in the case of fighting for more than a year and not achieving absolute superiority, there was indeed a possibility of collapse, especially the Yan State had sent troops to support the Zhao State, in this case, the situation of the Great Wei State was even more difficult.

But let him betray Ran Min for no reason, he can't do it, after all, he is the general of the beggar army, participated in the slaughter of 200,000 Hu people, and took refuge in Shi Yuan, there may not be any good fruit to eat.

"General, the grain and grass to be transported to the direction of Xiangguo have been prepared and are ready to go." At this moment, the pro-soldiers reported to Li Nong the news that the military rations had been prepared.

Li Nong put the letter in his hand on the table casually, got up and left the mansion, went to the location where the military rations were assembled, and prepared to instruct the soldiers who transported the grain to ensure that the military rations could be transported to the direction of Xiangguo without hindrance.

#####

In Yecheng, hundreds of elites sent by Yao Xiang scattered into the streets and alleys of Yecheng, and disguised themselves as ordinary people of different professions to spread rumors in Yecheng.

In order to panic the people of Yecheng, they told the 200,000 elites of the Yan Kingdom in a very real tone that they were about to kill Yecheng, and persuaded the people of Yecheng to flee as much as possible, and even, intentionally or unintentionally, revealed that Li Nong was about to rebel and lead Hu soldiers into Yecheng.

The rumors were the most harmful, and a small number of timid people really went back to pack their belongings and prepared to leave Yecheng and flee to the south.

Soon, a large number of fleeing people gathered at the south gate of Yecheng, and the entire south gate was blocked.

The people want to leave Yecheng on a large scale, this is not a trivial matter, the people are the foundation of a country, without the people, a country will have no hope, for this reason, Li Nong hurriedly mobilized the army of Yecheng, surrounded the south gate, so that the people are not allowed to leave Yecheng at will, and let the soldiers under his command strengthen patrols in Yecheng, find rumors, immediately catch the crime.

Seeing that Li Nong sent troops to prevent them from leaving, the people panicked even more, and quarreled with the soldiers guarding the city gate, which caused a riot at the city gate for a time.

In order to stabilize the situation in the city, Li Nong had to take tough measures and arrest the most ferocious people.

Jing Zhan, who returned to Yecheng for an unannounced visit, and many deaf and dumb warriors scattered to collect various situations in Yecheng, and in order to find out whether Li Nong had any dealings with Zhao State, Jing Zhan even sent several deaf and dumb warriors into Li Nong's mansion and searched the mansion.

The deaf-mute warrior who infiltrated Li Nong's mansion easily obtained the letter written by Zhang Ju to Li Nong and handed it over to Jing Zhan.

Jing Zhan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that Zhang Ju and Li Nong really had a correspondence, and combined with the news circulating on the street that Li Nong was about to raise troops to join Zhao State, the suspicion of Li Nong's rebellion greatly increased.

Jing Zhan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led several deaf and dumb warriors to leave Yecheng and return to the Wei army camp outside the south gate of Xiangguo.

In Ran Min's Chinese army tent, Jing Zhan made a careful report to Ran Min on the specific situation of Yecheng, and presented a letter written by Zhang Ju to Li Nong.

Seeing that the deaf and dumb warrior was in Li Nong's mansion and found Zhang Ju's handwritten letter, Ran Min was taken aback, which seemed to be enough to prove that Li Nong and Zhang Ju had correspondence, and Zhao and Wei were enemies, and Li Nong had correspondence with Zhang Ju behind his back, which was obviously extremely abnormal.

The gossip on the streets of Yecheng and Li Nong's wanton mobilization of troops and horses in Yecheng increased the suspicion of Li Nong's rebellion, which made Ran Min very uneasy.

In order to deal with this situation, Ran Min hurriedly wrote a handwritten letter, asking Jing Zhan to send it to Yecheng and hand it over to his cronies, so that his cronies and generals could be prepared and ready to deal with Li Nong's rebellion at any time.

In fact, Ran Min, who had experienced the chaos of Zhao State, did not have deep trust in Li Nong, so when he went out to Xiangguo, he left some cronies and transferred most of Li Nong's men and horses to other places to weaken Li Nong's strength, so as to avoid his self-respect.

In order to solve Li Nong's problem as much as possible, Ran Min summoned several confidants and generals and discussed.

"Your Majesty, Li Nong's rebellion is very likely, I think that the emperor was just a junior general of Zhao State, but Li Nong is already a general of Zhao State, and his position has always been above the emperor, but now, he is subservient to others, how can he be willing." A confidant said.

"Your Majesty, this time, Li Nong excused himself in every possible way and refused to go to Xiangguo to fight in person, obviously he had other plans." Another confidant general said.

Seeing that his henchmen all said this, Ran Min had a murderous intention towards Li Nong, and decided to lead the army back to Yecheng as much as possible, first solve Li Nong, stabilize the rear, and then fight with the Yan and Zhao coalition forces.

Just when Ran Min was about to withdraw his troops and return to Yecheng, Yao Xiang and the other legions were already ready to attack.

Yao Xiang, Murong Ba and other generals, according to the time agreed in advance, launched an attack on Ran Min's beggar army at the same time, and even Shi Kun's army, which was defending Xiangguo, opened the city gate and killed it.

Seeing that the Yan-Zhao coalition army had killed him at this time, Ran Min was in a hurry, at this time, Li Nong in the direction of Yecheng let him be like a thorn in the back, in this case, he was very reluctant to fight with the Yan-Zhao coalition army.

Ran Min's biggest concern was that Li Nong had already raised troops and sued Yecheng, and this worry made him very frightened.

However, the Yan-Zhao coalition army has already been killed, and at this moment, only by resisting with all their might can the enemy retreat, for this reason, Ran Min ordered his generals to kill the Yan-Zhao coalition army in separate ways to thwart the attack of the Yan-Zhao coalition army.
