The reason why Murong Jun was so eager to annihilate Ran Min's army was to clearly express his attitude, show Tuoba Shi Yijian his anger at Tuoba Invincible's death at the hands of Ran Min, and resolutely maintain the alliance between the two countries of the Yan Dynasty.

After Murong Ba left Jicheng, he rushed back to the Yan army camp as fast as he could, and went straight to Murong Ke's Chinese army tent.

"Fifth brother, you're finally back, how is it, what did the second brother say." Seeing Murong Ba enter the big tent, Murong Ke hurriedly asked.

Murong Ba replied: "Second brother ordered our army to annihilate Ran Min's elite army within ten days. ”

When Murong Ke heard this, he was slightly stunned, this situation was completely expected by him, he had long expected that Murong Jun would order the entire annihilation of Ran Min's army, but he didn't expect that it would be limited to ten days, if Ran Min led the army to retreat, it would be impossible to annihilate it within ten days.

"By the way, the second brother also said that Cao Fu and Zhang Jin's tens of thousands of horses have surrendered to our Great Yan Kingdom, and the second brother asked them to enter Changshan and contain Ran Min's subordinate Suhai to prevent it from reinforcing Ran Min's elite army, so that the pressure on our army will be less." Murong Ba hurriedly said.

Murong Ke shook his head and said softly: "Cao Fu and Zhang Jin are just mediocre generals, and the annihilation of Ran Min's troops completely depends on the strength of our army, and we must not pin our hopes on these two wastes." ”

"Fourth brother, do you already have a plan to destroy the enemy?" Murong Ba asked.

Murong Ke thought for a moment and said, "Our army has five thousand well-trained iron rope cavalry, as long as the tactics are used properly, it is not difficult to annihilate Ran Min's troops. However, the second brother only gave our army ten days, which made it difficult for my army to deploy calmly! ”

"What is the fourth brother going to do? How many days will the second brother be given grace? Murong Ba asked.

Murong Ke shook his head and replied: "No need, if you want to quickly annihilate Ran Min's troops, you must use the strategy of wanting to capture the old and indulge, show weakness first, and let Ran Min completely despise our army, so as to create conditions for the next full annihilation of Ran Min's army, how to show weakness, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"Fourth brother. You can rest assured. I will listen to you whatever you say. Murong Ba hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Murong Ke nodded with satisfaction.

Outside the south gate of Shengle City, the acting king Tuoba Shi Yijian led a group of civil and military forces. Meet the invincible coffin at the city gates. For the invincible death of Tuoba. He was very sad, so he personally greeted him outside the south gate. to show that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Soon, the 30,000 cavalry of the Dai Army escorted the invincible coffin of Tuoba and slowly drove towards the south gate.

Acting King Tuoba Shi Yijian was the first to rush forward, and held Tuoba Invincible's corpse and cried, and the civil and military officials behind him also expressed extreme grief.

Subsequently, Tuoba's invincible coffin was sent into the city, and Tuoba Shi Yijian discussed with several important ministers in the main hall how to deal with the aftermath.

"Ran Min killed my invincible general, this king and him are incompatible, this king decided to personally lead an army of 100,000 to crusade against Ran Min, what do you think?" Tuoba Shi Yijian said and looked at the important ministers in the main hall.

"The king is angry, the invincible general was killed by Ran Min, and we are also extremely sad, but at present, the 100,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom are only a few hundred miles away from Shengle City, if our army is on an expedition, in case the Jin army sneaks up on Shengle City, our army will be powerless to resist, and the consequences are unimaginable!" A minister persuaded.

"Your Majesty, Ran Min defeated 30,000 elite desert iron cavalry of our army with only 3,000 cavalry, and even the invincible general of our army was unfortunately killed. Another minister, bluntly said.

"Hmph, how can this king be a person who is afraid of death, if he doesn't slash Ran Min, how can he relieve the hatred in my heart." Tuoba Shi Yijian said loudly.

A minister said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect to the old minister, the invincible general is to blame for the enemy's rash advance, and the death on the battlefield is also self-inflicted. ”

"You're presumptuous." Tuoba Wing Jian was angered by the minister's blunt words and shouted a reprimand, but he also knew that the minister was telling the truth, so he was not really angry.

However, Tuoba Invincible is his half-brother after all, and he is also the first warrior of Daiguo, and now, Tuoba Invincible was killed by Ran Min, he, the king of a country who is an elder brother, if he does nothing, how different is it from admitting cowardice, how can the face of Daiguo be saved.

"Report, king, King Yan sent someone to send a letter, please take a look at it." At this moment, a letter from Murong Jun, the king of Yan, suddenly came.

Tuoba Shi Yijian hurriedly took the letter, and immediately opened it to watch, seeing that Murong Jun expressed grief at Tuoba Invincible's death, Tuoba Shi Yikey's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, seeing that Murong Jun said that he would annihilate the Ran Min Army within ten days and avenge Tuoba Invincible, Tuoba Shi Yijian was even more satisfied.

From this letter, Tuoba Shi Yijian can be seen that Murong Jun, the king of Yan, still attaches great importance to the Yan Dynasty Alliance, and is determined to avenge Tuoba Invincible, so as to maintain the relationship between the Yan Dynasty Alliance, as the acting monarch, he naturally cannot refute Murong Jun's kindness, for this reason, he decided to continue to be friendly with Yan State, and fully cooperate with Yan State in the international strategy, and contribute his own strength to the realization of hegemony for Yan State.

"Your Majesty, what is King Yan's attitude?" Seeing that Tuobashi's expression had become much more relaxed, a minister hurriedly asked softly.

Tuoba Shi winged the key, waved the letter in his hand, and said: "King Yan has an extraordinary bearing, and he will definitely dominate one side in the future!" Hahaha! With that, he smiled and handed the letter to the minister.

Several ministers looked at the handwritten letter of Murong Jun, the king of Yan, and nodded with satisfaction, they were all satisfied with the fact that the king of Yan took the initiative to take responsibility, and thought that this was the bearing that a responsible king should have.

"Your Majesty, since King Yan said that he would exterminate Ran Min within ten days, then our army naturally does not need to send troops to help, at present, the most important thing for our army is to be strong and ready to deal with the threat of the Jin State at any time, and in the future, we will fight against the Jin State together with the Yan State." A minister said excitedly.

Tuoba Shi Yijian nodded, and said: "This is what the king also means, since you also think so, then our army will not increase troops to Zhongshan County for the time being, and immediately train soldiers and horses, ready to respond to the Yan army at any time." ”

As the king of a country, Tuoba Shi Yijian naturally understood that even if he did not send troops directly to reinforce Yan State, as long as the more than 100,000 cavalry under his command contained the 100,000 Jin soldiers and horses in the direction of Bingzhou, it would be a great favor to Yan State, at least so that Yan State would not have to worry about the threat from the west, so as to attack the south wholeheartedly.

In Murong Ke's Yan army camp, after thinking for most of the day, Murong Ke finally formulated a strict plan and made up his mind to annihilate Ran Min and his elite beggar guards within ten days.

Murong Ke's plan was to use ten defeats to make Ran Min feel inferior to the enemy, and in the last battle, he used the powerful power of the Iron Rope Cavalry to strangle Ran Min and the main force under his command, so as to achieve a huge victory in one fell swoop.

After Murong Ke's Chinese army account, Murong Ke completely told the generals under his command of his plan, and told the generals to obey his command, and they must not fight hard with Ran Min, so as not to suffer huge losses.

The generals of the Yan Army naturally gladly accepted the order and said that they would completely obey Murong Ke's orders.

After arranging the specific tasks, the generals of the Yan Army left the big tent of the Chinese army in turn, and Murong Ba was left alone, and asked softly: "Fourth brother, our army has an absolute advantage in strength, and there are five thousand elite iron cavalry, it is not difficult to strangle Ran Min, why do you have to cheat ten times, isn't it too troublesome." ”

Murong Ke opened his mouth to explain: "With the current strength of our army, if Ran Min attacks with all his might, our army can naturally trap him to death, but in addition to being extremely brave, Ran Min also knows how to use resourcefulness, if my guess is right, he will definitely use the narrow and wooded terrain to fight our army, and in such a terrain, our army's most elite iron cavalry cannot be deployed at all, and even it is difficult to move an inch, so what does our army rely on to annihilate Ran Min." ”

Murong Ke is right, the iron rope cavalry is to use iron cables to connect a large number of war horses together, so as to block Ran Min's strong impact, but this kind of excellent troops, must be in a large open area, in order to play a huge advantage, in the terrain is complex and there are more trees, it is completely unable to act, which will make it a live target for the Wei army, not only can not play its due role, but also suffer heavy losses.

If you want to use the iron cavalry to defeat Ran Min, you must lure it to a large open area, which is conducive to annihilating Ran Min in one fell swoop, and the premise of achieving this goal is that Ran Min must have an extremely conceited and conceited heart of the enemy, so that Ran Min dares to fight a decisive battle with the main cavalry of the Yan army with his infantry-based army in the open area.

"Fourth brother, you are still thoughtful, but what if Ran Min is not fooled?" Murong Ba praised and raised concerns again.

Murong Ke sighed and said: "Actually, our army has been defeated ten times, and there is another purpose, which is to make Ran Min's army unable to get a chance to breathe, so it will let the multi-way army take turns to challenge, and in this way, Ran Min's army will be exhausted, if it chooses to retreat, our army can press it with all its might, and choose a place that is conducive to the power of our army's iron cavalry, and fight a decisive battle with Ran Min's elite army, so that Ran Min and his main force can be annihilated." ”

Murong Ba was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly praised: "This plan is very good, the fourth brother's ten defeats are not only the strategy of arrogating the enemy, but also the strategy of exhausting the enemy, and the two strategies are used in a row, and they will definitely be able to defeat Ran Min's army in one fell swoop." ”

When Murong Ke heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, as if he saw the dawn of victory. (To be continued......)
