A war horse rushed to the camp of the Wei army quickly, and the soldiers everywhere they saw the banners held by the knights on the horses immediately avoided them, which represented the most urgent military situation, but there was an obstacle and they would not be spared. The knight rushed into the camp www.biquge.info the pen fun pavilion, and only turned over and dismounted and rushed into the tent in front of Ran Min's big tent, "Report, the front found that Murong Ke of Yan Guo led an army of 100,000 to the south, and now he is stationed in the Zhongshan area. ”

As soon as these words came out, the big tent went up to Ran Min, down to the general Dong Yan, the general Zhang Wen and others stopped talking, and turned their eyes to this Tanma, they only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses now, how to compete with Murong Ke's 100,000 army?

"An army of 100,000? Can you see clearly? How is the combat power of the Yan army? Are the majority of the army young and strong, or are they mostly old and weak? The general Dong Yan asked with the hope of what happened, if a small number of elite Yan soldiers came with a large number of displaced people, they might be able to fight.

"General Qiyu, the elite of the Yan Kingdom is exhausted this time, these 100,000 soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers, almost everyone rides horses, and the armor is strong." Tanma hesitated for a moment and continued, "I also heard that the soldiers of the Yan army said that Murong Jun, the king of Yan, led a large number of Yan troops south from Youzhou, preparing to meet Murong Ke, and the small number of reinforcements has not yet been found. ”

He asked some questions such as whether the banner of the Yan army was scattered, who were the generals who led the army, Wei Wang Ran Min waved his hand to let the horse retreat, he looked at the generals who had been fighting with him for many years in the tent, and saw that the general Dong Yan, the general of the chariot and cavalry Zhang Wen and others had solemn faces, and seemed to be frightened by the number of the Yan army.

Ran Min snorted coldly and asked, "You have also heard the news just now, how should we deal with it next, what are your plans?" ”

General Dong Yan and Che Cavalry General Zhang Wen arched their hands at the same time, "Xianbei takes advantage of the victory and sharpness, and he is outnumbered, so it is advisable to avoid it; Wait for it to be lazy, and then attack to win. ”

In recent years, the Yan State has won successive battles in the western Liaoxi area, and has successively defeated the 200,000 army of the Zhao State established by Shi Le, Fuyu, Goguryeo and Yuwen Xianbei and other forces, and completely brought Liaoxi under its rule, and then marched south to seize the land of Youyan, and its strength far exceeded that of Ran Min's newly established Wei State.

And Wei is just the opposite, two years ago Ran Min led 100,000 cavalry to Xiangguo to attack Shiyi, besieged the city for several months and finally couldn't conquer, but let Zhao Emperor Shi Yi from the Qiang Yao Yi Zhongbu asked for 38,000 Qiang cavalry led by Yao Xiang, Yan Murong Jun sent 30,000 reinforcements led by Yue Xuan, the general of Yan State, under the three-way attack, Ran Min was defeated, only more than ten horsemen fled in the wilderness, and so far has not recovered its strength.

Ran Min was furious when he heard this, "I want to use this to calm Youzhou and behead Murong Jun; If you avoid it today, what do people say about me? At this time, although he was already waiting for the throne, he still did not change his previous rough style, directly rejected the advice of Zhang Wen and others, and ordered to send troops to Anxi to prepare for a decisive battle with Murong Ke's army.

When the generals in the camp heard this, they all changed color, and Situ Liu Mao and Tejin Lang Min looked at each other and smiled bitterly after leaving the tent, "My monarch will not return this trip, why should we sit and wait for humiliation!" I don't know if they thought of Sikong Shipu, Shang Shuling Xu Ji, Che Qi Hu Mu, Shizhong Li Lin and other high-ranking officials of Wei who were killed by the rebels in Xiangguo at this time.

After that, the two returned to the tent and chose to commit suicide in despair, so as not to be defeated and humiliated in the hands of the rebel army in the future, and as soon as the news came out, the morale of Ran Min's army was greatly hit.

"Father, now that the enemy is outnumbered, why don't you temporarily avoid the edge and accumulate strength to fight again in the future?" After the generals left, Ran Min's son Ran Cao stayed alone and asked.

Ran Min has a total of six sons, the crown prince Ran Zhi stayed in Yecheng at this time, Taiyuan King Ran Yin died at the hands of Shi Yi as early as the Battle of Xiangguo, and the rest of Pengcheng Wang Ran Ming, Wuxing Wang Ran Yu and others have other arrangements, only Ran Cao followed Ran Min's side, but what made the generals feel strange was that Ran Cao did not have a king at this time.

"Let me ask you, what happened when I led the army north to Changshan this time?" Ran Min was still not used to calling himself me, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all after asking.

"Now that I have been fighting for many years, the land in my Great Wei is barren, no one cultivates it, and I am unable to support the army, so I have to go north to seek food." Ran Cao replied that the territory of Wei was small and in the land of a hundred battles, Zhao State, Wei State, Qiang Yao Yi Zhongbu and other forces fought back and forth, the population was sharply reduced, and a large amount of land was abandoned.

"Well, there is not much food in the camp right now, and even if you go back, I'm afraid you will only starve to death." Ran Min still couldn't do the thing of using two-legged sheep as military food like the Hu people, "so he had to fight a decisive battle with Murong Ke." ”

He was much more patient with his son Ran Min, and continued to explain to Ran Cao, "Besides, the Qiang and Jin kingdoms in the south have long been eyeing Great Wei after the Battle of Xiangguo, if they retreat for their father this time, they will pounce on me like hungry wolves and tear my Great Wei to pieces; It is better to do all your best to repel Murong Ke, so that they will not dare to move lightly. ”

The choice to fight with Murong Ke's army here is not that Ran Min ignores the overall situation and hits the stone with an egg, but that the current situation of Great Wei is so bad that he has to fight to the death, if he defeats Great Wei in this way, he may be able to survive for a while, if he dares to retreat, the Yan State, the Qiang State and the Jin State will be attacked from three sides, and at that time, there is still a way for Dawei to live?

What's more, most of Ran Min's deployment is infantry, even if he wants to escape, he can't escape the pursuit of Murong Ke's cavalry, rather than being killed in the process of escaping, it is better to face the enemy head-on and survive to the death.

This explanation made Ran Cao have nothing to say, and he was very clear about Da Wei's current situation, as Ran Min said, now it was time to have to fight Murong Ke, and only in front of his own son would Ran Min tell such a truth, and her pride in front of the generals would not allow him to make such an explanation.

"Erchen knows, Erchen will go down to gather and deploy to prepare for a decisive battle." After Ran Cao finished speaking, he retreated, and now there is not much military food in the camp, so it seems that the decisive battle will definitely end within a month, so it is necessary to prepare early.

Ran Min nodded, ignored Ran Cao anymore, and picked up the wine glass again, the second glass of wine was about to pour the third glass, and someone outside the tent came to report, "Your Majesty, there are people outside the camp who want to join the army, what should be done with it, please show your Majesty." ”

Someone defected to the army? Ran Min was a little stunned for a while, in such a situation, there were still people who were not afraid of death who came to join the army, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "I'll go out and have a look." (To be continued.) )
