Hearing that Murong Chui single-handedly killed seven in and seven out under the pursuit of his own 8,000 iron cavalry, Ran Min really looked like a ghost.

is so brave, I'm afraid that only the Wenyang of the Three Kingdoms era can be compared!

However, Ran Min did not blame Su Lin for letting Murong Trai go, he faced eight thousand iron cavalry alone, killed a thousand people, and retreated, which shows his strength value. Even Ran Min knew very well in his heart that he was known as the "No. 1 warrior in the world" back then, but if he fought alone, he would never be this Murong Chui's opponent!

And because the water source was destroyed by Murong Chui and his people, the Wei army had to camp on the spot and wait for the rear army to deliver water and food.

A few days later, the Wei infantry in the rear finally arrived at the front line, and Ran Min continued to lead more than 100,000 Wei troops to advance towards the north, wanting to destroy the Yan State in one fell swoop and seize the land of Mobei.

But Ran Min's ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny!

Not long after, the Wei army led by Ran Min entered Dragon City and saw only an empty city. The Xianbei people did not leave them a grain of grain, and they disappeared. Wei Jun simply rested in Dragon City and at the same time inquired outside for news.

This time, Ran Min sent troops in three ways to attack Mobei, so he was not worried at all about his erratic whereabouts, where the Xianbei people who came and went like the wind could escape. After all, they are not only cavalrymen, but also the old and weak women and children of the tribe!

"Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! ”

Ran Min was eating dry food, when a small colonel ran in and knelt down on one knee and said, "Xie Ai's Western Route Army was defeated by Xianbei near Qilian Mountain, and the whole army was wiped out!" ”

"What?"

Ran Min was choked by the news, and finally took a sip of water to relieve himself, and then asked with a glare, "What's going on?" How could the Western Route Army be defeated so quickly? What does Xie Ai eat?! ”

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, Murong Ke led 100,000 Xianbei cavalry to make a long-distance attack and crossed the Xiongnu River unexpectedly. Because Xie Ai's army was all temporarily conscripted Huhu and soldiers and horses from the countries of the Western Regions, it had not gone through much running-in, so it collapsed at the first touch! ”

“……”

In this way, you really can't blame Xie Ai for the crime.

After all, he insisted on letting Hu and the countries of the Western Regions send troops and horses to form an army of 150,000. It is conceivable that such an army has not been run-in, and no matter how strong its individual combat ability is, it will be vulnerable to a real big war.

Ran Min originally wanted to put more pressure on the Xianbei people, so he thought about sending troops from three routes, but the Western Route Army was really mixed, even if Xie Ai wanted to command them, he couldn't do it.

It seems that the plan to form a servant army in the Western Regions is also on the agenda.

Ran Min has already formed an army of 300,000 servants in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, all of whom are Hu people, and the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate is a little smaller, but it can also form an army of 200,000 to maintain local order, and by the way, it will be used to expand the territory.

"Where did the Xianbei flee?" Ran Min asked again.

"It is said that the Xianbei people crossed the West Sea, and millions continued to flee westward! Xie Ai was gathering the remnants near the Xiongnu River and asked His Majesty if he wanted to pursue. ”

"Fleeing west?"

Ran Min's eyes rolled around, the Xianbei people have all moved west, but is the "Whip of God" going to appear in advance?

"No need. It's better for them to escape, the land of Mobei will be the empire's Beiting Protectorate in the future! ”

In fact, Ran Min still had a trace of expectation for Murong Ke in his heart.

Can Murong Ke be like the "whip of God" Attila and achieve something great in the West?

You must know that Attila led his army to invade the Balkans twice and besieged Constantinople; He also made an expedition to the Orleans region of Gaul, and finally stopped his westward march at the Battle of Chalon.

However, he later invaded Italy, and in 452 AD he captured Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire, and drove out Emperor Valentinian III, leaving the Western Roman Empire in name only.

From 448 to 450, the Xiongnu Empire, under the leadership of Attila, reached its peak of territory: from the Aral Sea in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west; It runs from the Danube River in the south to the Baltic Sea in the north. The vassal states in this vast area had their own kings and tribal chieftains, who paid tribute to Attila on weekdays and sent troops to fight in wartime.

After Attila's death, his empire quickly collapsed and disappeared, making him even more legendary in European history!

After forcing the Xianbei people to move westward, Ran Min mobilized hundreds of thousands of heavy troops on the front line of the Anhou River and prepared to attack Gaoche. When the leaders of the various tribes of Gaoche heard the news, they hurriedly presented their surrender tables and asked to be called vassals.

But what Ran Min wanted was not just submission, he immediately sent envoys to the various tribes in Gaoche, so that their leaders came to worship him, hundreds of tribes, large and small, dared to come and could not come, and exterminated them one by one.

In fact, the Gaoche people have a lot of troops, but there are many nationalities, and the tribes attack each other, so they can't unite with the outside world and resist foreign humiliation.

The tall car is just a collective term for them. The high car is also known as Tiele and Ding Zero.

If all the Gaoche people unite and become a tribal alliance or a unified empire, it will be enough for Ran Min to have a headache.

The influence of the Gaoche people is very widespread.

As far as Ran Min knows, there are servant bones in the north of Tula River, Tongluo, Wei Su, Bayegu, and Luo, with 20,000 victorious soldiers. From Hami to Yanqi near the Tianshan Mountains, there are Qibi, Wuhu, Sugu, etc., and there are 20,000 victorious soldiers. In the southwest of the Altai Mountains, there are more than 10,000 soldiers including Xue. The Aral Sea in Central Asia, the Caspian Sea and the Caspian Sea are surrounded by 40,000 soldiers. To the east of West Asia, there are nearly 20,000 people, including Alain. Lake Baikal (called the North Sea at this time) is located in the south of Dubo and others.

But they couldn't twist it into a rope, plus they had united with the Xianbei people to raid the Wei army before, rebelled against the Wei State, and were afraid that the Wei army would overwhelm the territory, so the leaders of the various tribes of Gaoche hurried over to worship after receiving Ran Min's holy message.

At the end of October of the 11th year of the emperor's reign, Ran Min built an altar on the bank of the Anhou River, accepted the worship of hundreds of Gaoche tribal leaders, and then personally sacrificed to the heavens and read the sacrificial text.

After the ceremony, Ran Min sat on the throne and looked condescendingly at the leaders of the Hu people who bowed down to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my Great Wei is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the state of etiquette, and I have never liked swords and soldiers......"

Ran Min's opening sentence almost made the Hu leaders vomit, maybe the previous Chinese dynasties were relatively conservative and did not have such a reckless army, but he Ran Min and his Great Wei Empire were fighting on all sides, and they did not fight at any age, so they dared to shamelessly say that they didn't like swordsmen?

But they only dared to slander, and they couldn't say it in front of Ran Min.

"I am the lord of Great Wei, but also the lord of the world, the Son of Heaven, and the emperor! In the past, the ancients had the merit of education and were saints. I am not talented, and I call myself a saint, but I have always taken it as my responsibility to educate the world and educate all nations, and I have never forgotten my original intention. ”

Ran Min said loudly: "Since the second emperor of Yan and Huang, more than 3,000 years ago, our ancestors have abandoned the most primitive life of Ru Mao drinking blood, and we are fortunate to invite heaven!" ”

"What is Huaxia? Zhongguo has great etiquette, so it is called summer; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua! In the past, Confucius said: 'The descendants do not seek summer, and the people do not mess with China.' But now that Yi has been in chaos, why not seek a descendant? ”

"Heaven has come down to educate you and other foreigners. Those who are unruly and unruly, such as the Qian, Di, Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, etc., have been exterminated or expelled. I thought, you shouldn't be like these Hu people, unruly and unruly, and don't change your dead nature, right? ”

The leaders of the Hu people present all smiled.

One of the Hu leaders stood up and said, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, we have also been harmed by the Six Yis. Now His Majesty has swept away the six scales and cleared the world, which is really a great good thing! Naturally, we won't be as rebellious as those damned Xianbei people! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" These Hu leaders all nodded yes.

Ran Min smiled again and said, "That's very good." I want to emulate the system of the four major protectorates of the Western Regions of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the Yizhou Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Yidao Metropolitan Protectorate, and set up the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate in the Mobei Land and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate in the Gaoche, I don't know what you want? ”

"This ......" The leaders of the Hu people were as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, but they did not dare to refuse.

Seeing that no one came out to answer, Ran Min said coldly: "Remember." I'm not consulting with you, I'm commanding you! If you don't surrender, you perish! Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die! Whether it is good or bad, you weigh it yourself! ”

Leaving such a sentence, Ran Min left.

Only the leaders of the Hu people were left looking at each other.

If Ran Min set up the Anbei Protectorate in Gaoche, Gaoche was only nominally included in the territory of the Great Wei Empire, but who knows if Ran Min would change his policy in the future and force them to move inward?

Is it extermination or obedience?

In fact, the vast majority of the Hu tribes think that they are not the opponents of the Wei army, so they can only choose to surrender, anyway, they just have one more leader on their heads, and they don't have to pay taxes, so what's wrong with that?

Some of the Hu tribes, because they could not resist the Wei army, chose to move west or fled to Siberia.

As for the handful of Hu tribes, they were lucky and were finally wiped out by the Wei army who entered the high car!

As a result, in this year, the Great Wei Empire added two capital protectorates, the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the population increased by more than one million, but because these two metropolitan protectorates were vast and sparsely populated, Ran Min could no longer recruit too many troops from them, and could only recruit 200,000 servant troops.

These so-called servant troops, in fact, are soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime, and they are similar to ordinary county soldiers, but their combat effectiveness should be stronger than that of domestic county soldiers.
