Chapter 0410: Mutton Soup
Hahahaha! β
In the camp of the Wei army, a hearty laughter sounded in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Xun Ji lowered his hand towards Ran Min and said: "The king is like a god with soldiers, and his wisdom is unparalleled. Yao Xiang suffered such a big defeat this time, he must not dare to do it again! β
Ran Min bowed slightly, and couldn't help touching the short beard on his chin, and said: "Hey, it's just a pity that the widow has grown a beard for many years, and in order to act realistically, he actually cut off his beard." β
"Ladies and gentlemen, right now, the Qin army has retreated to Bashang. In your opinion, how is our army going to march now? β
Xun Ji said: "Bashang is easy to attack and difficult to defend, plus the Qin army has just suffered a defeat and is demoralized, the king can take Bashang in one go at this time!" β
All the generals seconded the proposal, and even Qin Mu agreed.
And at this moment, Ran Min just wanted to order the general to send troops, and a small colonel ran in with a smoke.
"King, Yecheng is in a hurry!"
Yecheng urgent?
Ran Min was stunned for a moment, then took the urgent report and looked at it, and suddenly his face sank like water, and his original joy was gone.
Everyone was very curious about what had happened, and when this King of Wei, who had always been Mount Tai collapsed and did not change his face, was so moved, Ran Min had already waved his hand and asked the generals to retreat, leaving only Xun Ji and Qin Mu.
Handing them the urgent report in his hand, Ran Min said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong!" Yecheng came to report, Huainan line, the Jin army even conquered thirteen cities such as Sheyang, Gaoyou, and Jiangdu of Wei State, and then Zhang Yu opened Huaiyin City to surrender. Later, Yin Hao led the army to conquer Guangling, Wei Zheng broke through, abandoned all parts of Yangzhou, and went to Xuchang, and now the Jin army has completely occupied Yangzhou! β
"In Bingzhou, after Murong Ke led his army to conquer Shanwu, he attacked Xihe and Dingxiang two counties on a large scale, and they were all under him. Li Nong led 80,000 soldiers to prepare to land in Fenshui, but he did not expect to encounter a surprise attack by the Xianbei people, defeated, and the corpse pillowed for more than 100 miles, and Li Nong's army retreated to Jinyang! Now Murong Ke has led the army to surround Jinyang! β
"Jinyang is in danger! And the state is in danger! β
Xun Ji and Qin Mu had already realized the seriousness of the problem, and they both looked at each other.
"I wonder what the king is going to do?"
"I'm afraid that the matter of the western expedition will be put on hold here." Ran Min was very unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, he was helpless.
Whether it was the Jin army in the south or the Xianbei people in the north, the momentum of the attack was too strong, like a hurricane, sweeping the entire Wei State. New Bayi m.x81zw
Ran Min must not turn a blind eye!
At this moment, Zhang Jun took Xie Ai as his general, and the news came that 60,000 people came to Chang'an to help in the war, and Ran Min completely gave up the idea of continuing the westward expedition.
On May 13, Ran Min led the army to withdraw to Tongguan, abandoned Shangluo, Huayin, Qingni and other places in the pass, and held Tongguan, letting Liang Qian guard Tongguan to prevent the Qin army from going east.
Ran Min thought that the war in the south could be slowed down first, and the war in Bingzhou must be controlled as soon as possible, so he immediately led 30,000 elite infantry cavalry to Jinyang to reinforce first, and LΓΌ Gan led the main army of the western expedition to follow.
In order to speed up the march, Ran Min ordered to mobilize all the civilian ships at the Yellow River crossing, and quickly rushed to Bingzhou with soldiers, grain, horses, and baggage.
Jinyang.
In the past few days, the Xianbei people have surrounded Jinyang City with 100,000 heavy troops, but they have besieged but not attacked, and sent troops to plunder villages and towns in all directions to obtain wealth and grain and grass. Whether it is Tuoba Xianbei or Murong Xianbei, they all attach great importance to this war, and they both want to defeat the emerging Wei State in one fell swoop and eradicate Ran Min!
Therefore, Yan State and Dai State both increased their troops and merged with the state in the follow-up, each sending 80,000 troops, and the Xianbei army in the state reached 160,000, plus the Xianbei people who died in the previous battle, its strength reached a full 200,000 for a while!
At night, Murong Ke, as the commander of this coalition army, couldn't sleep at all, he felt the weight of responsibility, so he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.
At this moment, Murong Ke was holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" to read.
The sound of Xianbei soldiers insulting Han women was faintly heard, and the noisy sound was mixed with the smell of minced meat.
Where does the meat come from?
The curtain of the sleeping tent was lifted, and Feng Budo walked in with a bowl of soup.
"Don't doubt it? What's the matter? β
Feng Budo showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and said with a smile: "General, the last general brought you a bowl of fresh yokan soup, can you drink it while it's hot?" β
"Lamb? I don't remember bringing the sheep and cattle when we went south. Is it a sheep caught in the field? β
Hearing this, Murong Ke put down the book in his hand, took the soup handed over by Feng Budo, first sniffed it with his nose, and suddenly frowned: "This is yokan soup?" This is clearly a soup! β
Murong Ke put aside the so-called bowl of "yokan soup" and forcibly said with disgust: "Bring it out to me!" β
"This ......" Feng Budo touched the back of his head and said, "General, why don't you try it, this bowl of soup tastes really good." β
"I'll let you bring it out for me!" Murong Ke, who had always been gentle and elegant, became furious.
"No."
Seeing Murong Ke so angry, Feng Budo was frightened, so he took the bowl of soup out.
In fact, it's no wonder that Murong Ke is so angry, even if the soldiers under his command kill people and eat meat, he doesn't care that the soldiers are so inhuman, but he can't do it himself!
Murong Ke thinks that he is a human, not a beast, and he is not even a beast!
Even if a wolf starves to death, he doesn't eat the meat of his own kind, let alone a human?
Murong Ke is different from ordinary Xianbei people, he has been influenced by Confucianism of the Han family, and he is extremely repulsive to this kind of thing of drinking blood. But the general trend is far from being something that he can reverse alone.
Just like now, when Murong Ke was in Yanmen County, he had already issued five orders three times, prohibiting Xianbei people from burning, killing and looting, but in order to conquer and merge states, Murong Ke really had no way, Xianbei people's temperament was wild and unruly, just like a dog can't change its!
It is harder to make them like the Han army, and it is harder to ban them than to ascend to the sky!
What's more, at the moment, it is the alliance of Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei is not subject to Murong Ke's constraints, and once Tuoba Xianbei's soldiers do the things of burning, looting, and adulterous women, when Murong Ke can't control it, it is when military discipline is corrupted, because Tuoba Xianbei can do something, why can't they Murong Xianbei do it? New Bayi m.x81zw
So this fell into a dead loop, no matter what kind of effort Murong Ke made, it was useless.
Murong Ke actually ate human flesh in his early years, but he didn't like that taste, but he was very repulsive.
It's a pity that the rest of the Xianbei people are different, they are like hungry wolves, even if they have mutton and beef to eat, they are still more willing to eat the same kind of meat, especially baby or women's meat, as if this will make them feel more fulfilled!
It didn't take long for Feng Budo to go and return.
"General, there is something I don't understand."
"Do you want to know why our army is just besieging Jinyang City but not attacking it?"
"Yes. General, although this Jinyang City is high and deep, it is very strong, but there is no barrier in the world that cannot be broken, as long as the general is willing, we will be able to capture Jinyang City sooner or later! General, why did you not attack Jinyang City? The last general heard that Ran Min had given up the western expedition and was leading his army back to the Central Plains, most likely coming to Jinyang. β
"If Ran Min comes to relieve the siege of Jinyang, isn't the situation very unfavorable for us Xianbei people?"
Hearing this, Murong Ke shook his head lightly and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Feng Budo, let me ask you, do you know what kind of state it is like to be a soldier who has been fighting abroad for many years and marching from one country to another? β
"This ...... It should be sleepy, right? β
"Not bad. Then what do you think I have to win against an army like Ran Min who came from afar? β
As soon as Murong Ke said this, Feng Budo suddenly opened his mouth for a while.
That's right, no matter how strong the Wei army is, if they have to fight for a long time, trek through mountains and rivers for a long time, and immediately put it into the battlefield, even if their Wei army is iron, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it!
