Shi Hu was willing to listen, he ordered someone to chop off Shi Xuan's arm, puncture the stomach and dig out the intestines, like Shi Tao's death, and put Shi Xuan on the fire and burned him alive, ordering everyone to watch, Shi Xuan's screams were endless, and the people around him were all terrified. That's not enough! Shi Hu also ordered Shi Xuan's burned ashes to be sprinkled on the street for people to trample on, and beheaded more than 100 of Shi Xuan's cronies and family members, and threw their bodies into the Yellow River. In this way, Shi Hu relieved his hatred!

In the winter of that year, an inexplicable fire suddenly broke out in the Yecheng Imperial Palace, which burned for three days and three nights, and the entire palace burned to nothing, leaving only ruins and broken walls. Heavy snow can't cover this fire!

Heaven is especially forgivable, people can't live for evil, the Zhao Shi family has lost all their conscience, people and gods are angry, and they are self-defeating, this fire may be a sign that Zhao is going to die!

In the spring of the following year, Shi Hu planned to go north to attack the Yan Kingdom, which was divided into five armies. One of the teams was led by Ran Min with 5,000 people, Liu Yu, Liu Yi, Qian Zong and I were also incorporated into Ran Min's team. Everywhere Shihu's army went, it was invincible, and many county generals took the initiative to surrender and sacrifice the city. Shi Hu became more and more carried away, who knew that Murong Jun sent cavalry to attack the Zhao army at night, and because he was defenseless, there were many casualties for a while. Because he didn't know the truth of the other party, Shi Hu had no choice but to order the army to retreat overnight. The next day, Murong Chui, the king of Wu of Yan State, pretended to surrender, Shi Hu believed it and sent a large army to respond, but was ambushed, and the Yan army was attacked before and after, causing Shi Hu's army to be defeated, with heavy casualties and corpses lying in a hundred miles.

The team led by Ran Min encountered more than 10,000 iron cavalry of the Yan army, and the Yan army was the most brave with cavalry, and if the infantry of the Zhao army fought head-on, it would inevitably be defeated. At this time, Liu Yu offered Ran Min a strategy and ordered all the soldiers to change to walking. On the two flanks of the army, a hundred chariots were added to form a square phalanx, and the first rows of soldiers held their lances to defend against the cavalry. Then he ordered Liu Yi and others to lead several light cavalry teams to fight guerrilla warfare. Ran Min listened to Liu Yu's suggestion and used this phalanx, and the two sides were deadlocked for half a day, without a winner. In the evening, he led a group of light cavalry around the rear of the Yan army and attacked his vital point by surprise. That night, I and I inserted the internal organs of the Yan army from the rear like a sharp sword, and the Yan army was suddenly in a mess, and the army's heart was in chaos. At this time, Ran Min and Liu Yu launched a general attack in front, and suddenly the iron cavalry of the Yan army was crushed and fled. Ran Min took advantage of the victory to pursue, killed thousands of Yan troops, and won thousands of horses, and returned with a great victory. Ran Min was amazed by Liu Yu's strategy, praised him as a rare military wizard, and also gave great praise to Qian Zong for leading the light cavalry to attack the Yan army at night.

Of the five armies that Shi Hu attacked the Yan Kingdom, only Ran Min's army won and received the spoils of war, and the other four armies were all defeated. At this point, Ran Min became famous in a battle, and he was powerful in all directions, and Shi Hu became more and more important and reused him!

Back in Yecheng, due to the defeat of the attack on Yanguo, Shi Hu had a serious illness. At this time, the former prince Shi Xuandong Palace stationed in the frontier guarded Liang Li, who supported his own troops, led more than 100,000 people to rebel, and claimed to be the general of Zhengdong. For a time, the government and the opposition of Zhao State were in turmoil!

Shi Hu once again sent Ran Min to exterminate Liang Li. This time we still followed Ran Min on the expedition, Ran Min ordered the beggar general Li Nong to lead 10,000 light cavalry in Luoyang to meet Liang Li, Liang Qian guarded the border for a long time, and was quite prestigious in the local area, and the people were disgusted with Shi Hu's rule, and they all consciously gathered armed forces to resist the Zhao army. In the first round of the battle between Li Nong and Liang Li, due to the disparity in the number of the two armies, they returned with a heavy defeat! At this time, Liang Qian had already entangled the people of 100,000 people, and Ran Min's troops were outnumbered and retreated to the Yellow River. Behind is the rolling Yellow River, and in front is Liang Li's 100,000 heroes, and everyone is at a loss. Liang Qian won the first battle, and his morale was greatly boosted at this time, and he must want to go all out and defeat Ran Min and win! Ran Min asked Liu Yu: "What is Brother Liu's strategy?" Liu Yu said: "Today's plan is only to fight against the water, but the moon array can be tried!" ”

What is the "Moon Array"? At a distance of 100 meters from the Yellow River, Liu Yu used hundreds of chariots to form an arc, each of which had several soldiers on it, a total of several hundred soldiers. The remaining thousands of infantry met on the shore, and the soldiers in front used a large number of arrows and crossbows to attack the enemy, and the soldiers in the formation used their lances as weapons to deal with the enemies who attacked the formation! And put a shield in front of the vehicle to protect the vehicle. The soldiers fought with their backs to the water, there was no way out, and they fought to the death. Ran Min thought that Liu Yu's strategy was very good, and immediately adopted it, and ordered the soldiers to deploy actions. The beggar general Li Nong thought that this plan was inappropriate, but behind the moon array was the rolling Yellow River, if the enemy came fiercely, the Zhao army would all be buried in this Yellow River!

Ran Min finally chose to believe Liu Yu and used the Moon Formation to resist Liang Li's attack.

Many of Liang Li's soldiers were originally temporarily composed of ordinary people, all of them were stragglers, and they had not been trained by the regular army at all, and Liang Qian was eager to win, eager for quick success, and had no tactics at all. Under the resistance of the "Moon Array", Liang Li's soldiers fell down one by one, and the corpses were piled up into a mountain.

When the rabble saw this, they scattered like birds and beasts, and they threw down their weapons and fled in all directions. Liang Li's army died to death, fleeing, and soon the number of the army plummeted, but Liang Li still loved to fight and refused to give up the attack. At this time, Ran Min sent soldiers to wave their flags and shout in the rear, and the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they were even more brave to kill the enemy! When the time was ripe, Liu Yi led the soldiers to outflank the Liang army from both sides, and Ran Min led a team of light cavalry to smash the center of the Liang army, capture Liang Qian alive, and behead him to show the public! Liang Qian was dead, the Liang army was disheartened, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered.

In this way, Ran Min killed Liang Li, won more with less, and defeated the rebels! Another miracle! For a while, Ran Min was in the limelight!

At this time, news came from the Zhao Palace that Shi Hu was seriously ill and died, and the throne had been passed on to his youngest son Shi Shi, and his mother Liu was named the queen mother. Hearing that Shi Shi had ascended the throne as king, Ran Min was worried. The Liu family was originally the daughter of Liu Yao, and after Liu Yao was killed, she was taken into the Zhao Palace, and was accepted as a concubine by Shi Hu because of her excellent appearance. And Liu Yao, the father of the Liu family, was the one who killed Ran Min's father, Ran Liang, and assisted the descendants of the enemy who killed his father as the emperor, Ran Min would never agree! What's more, this Liu clan is connected with Rongzhao General Zhang Jackal, and he has long wanted to get rid of him because he was afraid of Ran Mingong's high shock! If this world is mastered by the Liu family, then Ran Min will have no place to stand. In today's situation, either you die or I die!

Li Nong advised Ran Min: "Now that the general has exterminated the rebel party and returned victorious, he has held military power, why not support other virtuous monarchs?" ”

"This is reasonable, but who should I support?"

"Now that I heard that Pengcheng Wang Shi Zunzheng is guarding Li Cheng, why don't we go back to him."

"Let's go and meet King Peng for a while!"

The people turned to Li Cheng and asked to see Shi Zun, the king of Pengcheng.

Ran Min said: "Lord Wang, Shi Shixiao'er is only ten years old, and he is not enough to take on this important responsibility. The minister thought that the position of the monarch should be held by a virtuous person, and besides, when Shi Shi ascended the throne, the power would definitely fall into the hands of the Liu woman, how could the Zhao State let a woman play in the palm of his hand?

"Then according to the general's view, who is suitable?" Shi Zun asked.

"The throne of the king belongs to the prince!" Ran Min said! "The first emperor intends to pass on the throne to the prince, and the prince inherits the throne in a justifiable name! However, the woman of the Liu family took advantage of the unconsciousness of the first emperor and pretended to write an edict to let a ten-year-old child inherit the throne. I respectfully ask the prince to obey the will of heaven and inherit the throne! The ministers are willing to be loyal to the prince, and listen to the dispatch, there is no other word! ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not right! Shi Zun pretended to excuse himself.

"Don't shirk the prince, the country is in danger!" Ran Min and the others knelt down and asked for their lives.

"In this case, this king has no choice but to be disrespectful!"

"The ministers must do their best to serve the prince!"

Shi Zun helped Ran Min up and patted him on the shoulder: "Shi Min, you work hard!" This king has no children, and if I ascend to the throne in time, you will be my heir!" ”

"Thank you for your trust, and the minister will do his best to assist the prince!"

The army returned to Yecheng in a mighty way, and the Liu clan was afraid of Ran Min's might and sent the general Zhang Jackal out of the city to greet him. Zhang Jackal held the holy decree in his hand and ordered everyone to dismount and receive the decree. Ran Min and the others deliberately despised the holy decree and refused to dismount. Zhang Jackal was furious and scolded, and when he had scolded enough, Ran Min ordered someone to arrest him. counted several of his crimes, including forming a party for personal gain, fornicating with Queen Liu, etc. Hold Zhang Jackal at the entrance of the vegetable market and behead it to show the public!

When the Empress Dowager Liu heard the news in the palace, she fainted on the ground in fright, Liu knew that the backer had fallen, and Ran Min held the military power, and his general trend was gone, and now his life was still worried, not to mention the throne! When Liu woke up, she took the initiative to write a decree, saying that Shi Shi was too young to be qualified for the throne, and the throne should be inherited by a virtuous person, so she gave way to Shi Zun, the king of Pengcheng. At this point, Empress Dowager Liu and her son Shi Shi completely lost their position, became prisoners, and were placed under house arrest in the palace. As everyone wished, Shi Zun successfully ascended to the throne of God.

After Shi Zun succeeded to the throne, he did not fulfill his promise, and soon made his nephew Shi Yan the crown prince. Although Ran Min is an auxiliary general, he has no real power. Shi Zun was afraid of Ran Min's military exploits, so he embarrassed Ran Min everywhere and set aside his rights.

The Jie people Sun Fudu, Liu Bao and others gathered 3,000 soldiers of the Jie tribe and secretly ambushed them in the city, trying to wait for an opportunity to kill Ran Min. After Shi Zun found out, he didn't stop them. Instead, he said to them, "You are heroes, serve your country well!" ”

After Ran Min learned about it, the last bit of kindness he had for the Zhao Shi Dynasty disappeared!

He knew that now the Hu people were going to kill him completely, all because of his incompatible Han identity! The status of the Han people in the Zhao State is not as good as that of pigs and dogs, even if he makes great contributions to the Zhao State, he still cannot escape the fate of being discriminated against and hated by the Hu people!

Not long after Shi Zun ascended the throne, the wind in Zhao uprooted the trees, the thunder roared, and hail fell from the sky, as big as a bowl and basin. Relying on this celestial phenomenon, some monks asserted that Zhao Shiqi had been exhausted and would soon perish. Li Nong took the opportunity to persuade Ran Min to replace him, if he did not strike first, he would be killed by the Hu people sooner or later.

Sun Fudu waited with Shi Zun's acquiescence, entered Yecheng from Fengyang Gate, and went straight to Ran Min's mansion. Ran Min made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity to seize power from the hands of the Qian. Ran Min sent Chen Zong, Li Nong and others to meet Sun Fudu, Sun Fudu was naturally not an opponent, all of them were destroyed, from Fengyang Gate to Kunhua Palace, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

In order to fear the revenge of the Hu people, Ran Min issued an order to inform the palace and outside that anyone who dared to use weapons would be killed. The Han people within a hundred miles came, and the Hu people in the city were so frightened that they ran out of the city.

Ran Min did not stop doing two things, and issued an order to kill Hu, and he issued an order to inform the inside and outside that if the head of a Hu person was sent to Fengyangmen, all civil officials would be promoted to the third rank, and all military positions would be appointed to Yamen. Within a day, tens of thousands of Hu people were killed!

In order to ensure that in case, Ran Min personally led the Han people to kill Hu Xuan, with more than 200,000 dead, and the corpses were scattered all over the mountains outside the city. The Hu people gathered in all directions, the local army killed them according to Ran Min's orders!

At this time, Shi Zun was already frightened, Ran Min deposed Shi Zun's throne and killed him, and killed all 38 people of Shi Husun, cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots!

Subsequently, Ran Min complied with the will of the people and usurped the throne in the southern suburbs, granted amnesty to prisoners all over the world, opened granaries, and provided relief to the victims. The year name was changed to Yongxing, the country name was Da Wei, and the history was called Ran Wei. Posthumously honored his father Ran Liang as Emperor Liezu Gao, and posthumously honored his mother Wang as the empress dowager.

Born in the Zhao State, Ran Min was exposed to the bullying and insults of the Han people by the Jie people since he was a child, and saw the tyrannical deprivation of the Han people by the Shi family, so he developed a strong hatred for the Hu ruling class, coupled with the sacrifice of his father and the tragic death of his mother, which deepened his hatred. As a result, he issued an order to kill Hu, and almost killed all the people of the Jie tribe!
