Chen Liang lowered his head and thought about it, thought about it for a long time, drank a sip of tea in the cup, and finally raised his head: "Ji Ye, the old man is already a person who has half of his body in the ground, and he doesn't dare to have any extravagant hopes." Although the current Emperor of Wei is mean and unkind, he only weakens us scholars, but he is deeply popular among the people. ”

"The old man doesn't dare to take this risk!"

Hearing this, Chu Li hated iron and said loudly: "Brother Shi, can you say such frustrating words? It is precisely because Ran Min is mean that you should stand up and resist him! Ran Min has been a goalkeeper for generations, his ancestors have never been prominent for several generations, they are all martial artists, and in his and his father's two generations, they are even more committed to Zhao and serve Hu Lu, such people can ride on the heads of our warriors to pee, what else can you hope for? What illusions are you still having? ”

"Brother Ji Ye, Ran Min is not a good stubble. At the moment, although he forced the wealthy families of the Northland to demolish the dock fort and release the villagers, he did not do anything too much......"

"Isn't that excessive?" Chu Li glared and said: "Without the dock fort, without the private soldiers, you warriors are just meat on the chopping board, and you can only be slaughtered by others!" Now that Ran Min's power has not been fully consolidated, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country, and he will not dare to eradicate all the forces of your Yingchuan family, but after a long time, can you guarantee that Ran Min will not have dissenting intentions? When the time comes, with those of you who have no soldiers in their hands and only one empty name, will they be able to stop Ran Min's thousands of troops? ”

"This ...... Brother Ji Ye, the matter is not as serious as you said, right? Chen Liang was quite hesitant, and was stunned by Chu Li.

Chu Li said again: "I'm not alarmist. Brother Shi, think about it yourself, in the past, under the rule of the Han Dynasty, under the rule of the Wei Dynasty, under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, what a beautiful scenery your Yingchuan Chen clan was, even after experiencing the Hu Rebellion, under the rule of Qian Zhao, your Yingchuan Chen clan is still not down, the power is still there, and there is still a place for your Yingchuan Chen clan in the imperial court. ”

"But what about under Ran Wei's rule? In addition to a few family members holding some inconsequential official positions in the court, and some children are local officials, have you ever produced a noble minister in the Yingchuan Chen family? Not even a count, not a single marquis! Is such Ran Wei still worthy of your Yingchuan Chen family's attachment? ”

Hearing this, Chen Liang's brows furrowed, and he said, "Brother Ji Ye, you don't know the difficulties of the foolish brother." Once this fails, I, Yingchuan Chen, will suffer a devastating blow, and Yingchuan Chen can't afford such consequences! ”

"Hehe, brother, didn't I say you, wouldn't it be a pity to do great things? As the so-called wealth is sought in danger, where does it come from wealth without risking? To tell you the truth, brother, I came with the emperor's order this time, and there is a holy purpose for this! ”

Chu Li took out a holy decree from his baggage, put it in Chen Liang's hand, and said: "As long as the world brother can unite the scholars in the city to open the gate of Xuchang, the inside and the outside should be combined, and after the Wei army is broken, the imperial court will canonize the world brother as the Yanzhou Assassin and the servant, and add the title of Xuchang Marquis, and eat a thousand households!" Moreover, His Majesty also made a promise that in the future, he would greatly appoint the talents of the Yingchuan Chen family, or the locality, or the court and the central government, which is more important, which is better and which is inferior, and asked the world brother to weigh it himself. ”

Chen Liang took the holy decree, looked at it himself, and immediately felt like he had taken a reassuring pill.

Seeing Chen Liang's expression, Chu Li knew that the matter had been successful for the most part, and said: "As for whether Ran Min will retaliate, please rest assured that this matter is still in place." In this battle, although the Northern Expeditionary Army did not dare to say that it had destroyed the Wei State, it forced the Wei State to move the capital to take refuge and completely occupy Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou of the Wei State, and even Qingzhou, which is beyond doubt! ”

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Liang's mouth twitched: "Brother Ji Ye, you are too full of words, right?" Now the Jin army is of course a succession of battles, like a bamboo, but as far as I know, there are still about 200,000 Wei troops in Daliang, which are all elite divisions of Wei. ”

"Hahaha! Brother Shi was too worried. Chu Li raised his head and said: "Could it be that the soldiers of the Wei State are strong and strong, and my Great Jin is not strong and strong?" In this battle, in addition to Xie An's Beifu Army and Huanwen's Jingzhou Army, the imperial court also mobilized heavy troops from Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Yizhou, Hanzhong, Yuzhang, Langya and other places. ”

"With so many soldiers and horses, isn't it enough to recover the lost territory in the Central Plains?"

Hearing Chu Li say this, Chen Liang's eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance.

In the past, most of the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army were petty fights, and each Northern Expedition of the Jin State dispatched 180,000 soldiers and horses, and the results were not large, but if 500,000 troops were really mobilized this time, I believe it would be enough for the Wei State to drink a pot!

But can the Jin Kingdom really send so many soldiers and horses?

Beam.

Ran Min summoned Qin Mu, Xun Ji, Cui Hao and Wang Meng to the palace for deliberations.

"According to the information I have just obtained, the Jin State has successively recruited heavy troops from Jiangzhou, Yizhou, Yuzhang, Langya and other places, with a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses. Everyone, it seems that this time Jin Guo is going to make a desperate bet! Ran Min's expression was quite heavy.

Qin Mu said: "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of people of insight in the Jin Kingdom. They watched our Great Wei successively annex the four kingdoms of Qin, Yong, Liang and Qiuchi, and unify the north, the next step is either to use troops against the Dai State, or to use troops against their Jin State, so it is understandable to want to strike first. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is worrying. On the eastern front, Wei Zheng stuck to Xiapi, and the surrounding Lanling County and Pengcheng County had fallen, and Xiapi became an isolated city. With the strength and grain and grass of the following Pi defenders, if nothing else, it will not be a problem to support it for half a year. On the Western Front, Li Xin and Huan Wen's Jingzhou army fought in Xuchang and became a confrontation, but this situation did not last long! ”

Ran Min said in a deep voice: "The Jin Kingdom is determined to recover the rivers and mountains this time. This time they are not making a small fuss, how to deal with it, please speak freely. ”

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today, there is only one battle!" Shang Shu ordered Cui Hao to speak loudly.

"Cui Lingjun is right." Xun Ji lowered his hand and said: "Your Majesty moved the capital to Daliang back then, and it was biased towards the south of the Yangtze River, and there was also a factor to prevent the Jin Kingdom. Now that the Jin army is fighting on two fronts, it is menacing, please ask Your Majesty to also pour the strength of the country into a battle with the Jin army! ”

Hearing this, Ran Min said lightly: "Since you want to fight, how to fight?" How to win? Our Great Wei has repeatedly fought against foreign countries over the years, and the soldiers are tired and untruthful, and the number of combatable soldiers in Daliang has not exceeded 100,000. Most of the forbidden army was stationed in Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and it was impossible to rush to help for a while, as for recruiting troops from all over the country, it would take time, but the Jin State would never give us too much time. ”

As Ran Min's chief advisor, Qin Mu said: "Your Majesty, a big war cannot be won by relying on a large number of people. Soldiers are not expensive, and there are many more. It is not difficult for the Wei army on my southern front to hold back the attack of the Jin army, it depends on what His Majesty intends to do. ”

"Qin Mu, what do you think?"

"Now the Jin army is fighting on two fronts, east and west, one is Xiapi, and the other is Xuchang. Your Majesty, please choose one to fight! ”

Hearing this, Ran Min pondered for a while, and then said: "There are heavy soldiers in Xiapi, and a large amount of grain has been hoarded, so there is no need to worry about it in a short time. And Xuchang is too close to Daliang, once Xuchang falls, Huan Wen's Jingzhou army will be under the city of Daliang next, so if you want to choose a place to fight, Xuchang is the first choice! ”

Qin Mu bowed slightly: "Not bad." ”

"It's just that Xuchang may not be able to keep it."

"Why did Your Majesty say that?"

"I have always known that the scholars of Yingchuan have always had close ties with the Jin Kingdom in the south, and many of the children of the Yingchuan family have also been in the Jin court. This time the Jin army went on a northern expedition, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of Yingchuan warriors who will rebel! ”

Regarding this, in fact, Ran Min had thought of it a long time ago.

Huan Wen's Jingzhou army did not set out from Hanzhong, attacked Chang'an and Luoyang, and recovered the old capital of the Jin Kingdom, but set off directly from Jiangling and entered Yingchuan, and its intentions have been revealed.

But even if Ran Min thought of this, he didn't know where to start.

Let these Yingchuan families do nonsense, and after the war, he will find this excuse to uproot the Yingchuan family!

Immediately, Ran Min decided to dispatch 80,000 foot cavalry such as Yulinwei, Xiaowei, Qianniuwei, Xuanjia Cavalry, Shenji Battalion, and Po Military Camp to go straight to Xuchang.

In this battle, Ran Min must win, if he does not win, Xuchang will lose, Yanzhou will lose, and Daliang must lose!

Even all the Wei territories south of the Yellow River will change hands!
