On the vast Yellow River, ships of different sizes and heights are sailing.

The size of this fleet is not small, as many as hundreds of ships as far as the eye can see, like a dotted night sky, but as the waves crash on the shore and the waves roll, these ships look a little weak like rain hitting duckweed.

Ran Min was standing on the largest ship.

Ran Min looked into the distance, the strange rocks on both sides of the Yellow River, and the trees were all in sight.

Looking at Ran Min's somewhat stunned expression, Qin Mu behind him couldn't help but say loudly: "King, what are you thinking?" Are you still regretting that you didn't succeed in recovering Guanzhong? ”

"Nope."

Ran Min waved his hand and said: "This time I failed to recover Guanzhong, and the next time the widow will definitely be able to win Guanzhong in one fell swoop!" In fact, it is also a good thing that the western expedition is blocked this time, if the widow has to take Guanzhong and enter Chang'an, not only Pu Hong will resist stubbornly, but Pu Hong, Zhang Jun and Yao Xiang will definitely share the same hatred and resist our Wei army. ”

"But as soon as the widow retreats like this, after a long time, there will be dirt between Pu Hong and Yao Xiang. The widow heard that Pu Hong had been seriously ill and would die soon, and the widow looked at Yao Xiang as a person, not the kind of person who could live under the people for a long time, Yao Xiang was a tiger, and he would not keep to himself. The next expedition to the west, maybe we can recover Guanzhong more smoothly! ”

Qin Mu sighed and said, "It would be great if the king could think like this. ”

"Qin Mu, how do you say that we can defeat the Xianbei people this time? The widow heard that this time the Xianbei people went south and gathered an army of 300,000, although this data is a little watery, but not much worse. Last time, Li Nong crossed the river in Fenshui, but as soon as he crossed the river, he was ambushed by the Xianbei people, but this time, the widow only brought 30,000 elite soldiers, and marched day and night, Murong Ke never imagined that we could come so quickly and so suddenly. ”

"But relying on these 30,000 soldiers and horses, can you relieve the siege of Jinyang and defeat the Xianbei people?"

"My lord, don't you often say that soldiers are not expensive? Why is it that until now, you are still looking forward and backward, afraid of this and that? ”

"Oh? Could it be that Qin Mu, you already have a countermeasure? ”

"The king should know about the Battle of the Great Deer, right?"

"The Battle of the Great Deer? Burn one's ship? ”

Ran Min shook his head and said, "Regarding this, the widow has not thought about it, but it is not feasible. If the opponent of the widow is the Jin army, its soldiers and horses need enough food and grass, as long as their grain is burned, they will be at the end of the road. But now, our opponent is the Xianbei people! ”

"The Xianbei people have lived in water and grass for generations, they don't rely much on grain, without food, they can kill war horses to satisfy hunger, or catch people to cook and roast and eat meat, if they can't completely surround them, let them be exhausted, and run out of food, if they want to defeat them on this vast plain with less victory, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!"

Ran Min is well aware of this.

This battle is completely different from the battle of the giant deer at the end of Qin!

At that time, Xiang Yu first sent his generals Yingbu and Pu to lead 20,000 people as the vanguard to cross the Yellow River (one said to be Zhangshui) and cut off the grain transportation channel of the Qin army.

Then, Xiang Yu personally led all the main forces to cross the river (one said to be Zhangshui), and ordered the soldiers of the whole army to break the cauldron and sink the boat, each carrying only three days' dry food, in order to show the determination to fight to the death.

Xiang Yu's determination and courage greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. The morale of the Chu army was invigorated, and they fought bravely to the death, won nine battles and nine victories, and defeated the Qin army.

Qi, Yan, Wei and other rescue Zhao troops all watched from the wall, and when the Chu army broke through the Qin army, they also rushed out of the camp to help the battle, and finally captured Wang Li, the commander of the Qin army, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and forced the Qin general to commit suicide.

The deer's predicament was thus solved.

This is the key to the grain transportation channel!

You didn't see the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was able to win more with less, and he also got Xu You's guidance, so he sent troops to burn down Yuan Shaojun's Wuchao granary, and finally defeated Yuan Shao's?

But the Xianbei people are different, they have no dependence on grain, without food, they can still satisfy their hunger by killing horses and filling their stomachs with human flesh!

"Have you ever heard of the story of the Battle of Yique?"

This...... The Battle of Ique?

In order to avoid being ambushed by the Xianbei people and prevent trouble, Ran Min also sent several teams of scouts to go ashore to reconnoiter before landing, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal within a radius of a few miles, Ran Min gave an order, and 30,000 Wei troops landed less than 100 miles away from Jinyang City.

After going ashore, Ran Min gathered the soldiers and horses, lined up troops on the bank of the Fenshui River, and set up a high platform.

Banner hunting, spears like a forest, armor like the sea.

The 30,000 heavily armed Wei soldiers formed ten phalanxes, standing straight like umbrellas, with their heads held high, looking like they were at home. Ran Min stood on the high platform, facing these many soldiers, his face was very serious, and he was not angry and arrogant.

"My soldiers of the Great Wei Kingdom! Boys! ”

"Right now, most of the state has fallen, and the Xianbei people have gone south and surrounded Jinyang City! They raped and plundered in the land of the state, on our land, and on the land of our Han people, and did all kinds of evil! ”

"The state has been reduced to a scorched earth!"

"At this time, the merge of states is Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou at that time, if we turn a blind eye, the entire Great Wei will be reduced to scorched earth! The entire Central Plains, as well as your homeland, will be invaded by the Xianbei people, and your parents, sons, brothers, sisters, and neighbors will be killed! Your wives and daughters will also be humiliated and killed by the Xianbei people, and even eaten as two-legged sheep! ”

"Tell the widow! Can you say yes? ”

"Can't! No! ......The soldiers were excited, raised their weapons, and their morale was greatly high.

"Good! and the widow will not hide from you. The widow wants to emulate Xiang Yu who led the army to cross the Zhanghe River and broke the boat! That is, all our boats and military tents for crossing the river were burned, and the kettle retort (the name of the ancient cooking vessel) was smashed and thrown away, and the whole army only brought the dry food needed for one day! There is no way back!! ”

"If you fight, you can only die! Soldiers, tell the widow, Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ...... "These Wei army warriors are really not afraid of death, and when they heard Ran Min say this, they didn't show the slightest fear on their faces.

Ran Min smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, that's fake!" To be honest, the widow is also scared, but the widow, like you, has no choice and has no way out! ”

"In this battle, the widow is with you! In this battle, our army will win! ”

"Behind you stand your fathers and fellow villagers, the homeland where you have lived for generations! We will not let the enemy's iron hooves threaten our homeland! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ……”

Immediately, under Ran Min's orders, the soldiers of the Wei army gathered ships, iron pots, military tents, grain and grass and other things, burned them on the spot, and burned them to the ground.

In the smoke in the sky, the faces of these Wei soldiers were reflected as if they were at home.
