Chapter 504: Ran Min's Only Concern


Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there is nothing wrong with saying it.

There can be many interpretations of rivers and lakes, as small as a family in which children are more inclined to their fathers or mothers, or a group of friends will definitely have one or more leaders, and on a large scale, there must be many interest groups in a country.

Ran Min will undoubtedly be the leader of an interest group, those who originally belonged to the Ran Qin State took a stand, and there were Haoqiang who took refuge after being liberated, resulting in the interest group led by Ran Min being restored after losing the country.

"The king summoned the lord to go to Xiangguo to report on his work" Liu Yi was not an official of the Han State, but was a personal staff member in the Northern Shogunate as a retainer of Ran Min.

He was frowning at the moment: "The corps has been reorganized, and now the lord has been summoned to report on his work, is there anything difficult to understand?"

Jiang Gan, Miao Song, Dai Shi and some other ministers who originally belonged to the Ran Qin State, they all chose to become Ran Min's retainers after the Ran Qin State was merged into the Han State, and everything was naturally based on Ran Min's starting point, and Ran Min's safety and interests of this group were also considered.

"The reason why the king will go north is that the lord's command has expanded too much.

When the king came, the lord obeyed his orders.

Miao Song smiled and said, "If there is something difficult to understand, there is no need to worry. ” Miao Song had already interpreted the change of situation in advance, directly stating that Liu Yan was not a man who was easy to suspect, and it could even be said that as long as he was not too desperate, Liu Yan would not kill his courtiers.

He even said to Ran Min in private, saying that he found that Liu Yan admired the Han nationalist ministers very much, and Ran Min really worked hard to kill Hu no matter what happened in the early stage and later stage.

"As expected, it must be the Hu people who counterattack, and the war center on the northern front must replan the war zone."

Jiang Gan's new words were only learned after the Han Kingdom.

He said: "The king had put the lord in charge of the war on the northern front before, and it can be seen that he was very trusting and reused by the lord.

This time, Shijie and Murong Xianbei, and even Liangguo may be together, and the battle line in charge of the Northern Shogunate is a little long. ” As a general, Ran Min's military power should be the largest in the Han Kingdom, not to mention that it once swelled to close to 500,000, and the establishment of the Northern Shogunate ordered by the central center to select and conquer the Northern Shogunate was also 440,000, which was 40,000 more than the general Xu Zheng who followed Liu Yan to rise in the end of Wei.

If it were someone else, as a person who was attached to the back, he would definitely panic if he had too many troops in his hands, and he was afraid that the king would always be suspicious, and maybe one day he would die from the king's suspicion, but Ran Min didn't seem to have similar worries.

"The king has treated me very kindly, and I have never had the intention of betraying the king."

Ran Min said with a smile: "The body is not afraid of shadows, so naturally there is no fear." ” Hearing Ran Min say that, many retainers were actually relieved in their hearts, what they were afraid of was that Ran Min couldn't see the situation clearly, and he really had the idea of rebellion and self-reliance.

Reality did not let Ran Min have the capital to betray, as long as Liu Yan did not allocate the military equipment and grain will be cut off, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Corps is not from the original Ran Qin army, it is a reorganization of many Han armies, the original Ran Qin army was reorganized into the shogunate of the southern general after the reorganization.

Those Central Plains people who took refuge in Ran Min after being recovered, although they were included in Ran Min's interest group, but in the final analysis, they defected to the Han Kingdom rather than Ran Min personally.

In this way, the lord is naturally worry-free.

It's just that Liu Yi dragged a tail note and said very unhappily: "The Zheng family, which is attached to the right prime minister, must chew the root of the tongue more." ” The so-called Zheng family is a family in Xingyang, and its strength can be reached the level of the family, and the Han army took refuge in the Han country through the Sang clan early before recovering Xingyang, and made great efforts when the Han army recovered Xingyang County.

After being told by Sang Yu, this family was very cooperative with the actions of the Han Kingdom, and took the initiative to hand over the land outside the regulations, and Ding Kou and the like also cooperated with the registration.

If history has not changed, the timeline will go back a few hundred years, and the Zheng family in Xingyang will be a prominent family in the Li and Tang dynasties, ranking one of the "five surnames and seven wangs".

In the Li and Tang dynasties, in fact, many of them began to develop after the Five Hu Chaohua, and used various means to grow in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, waiting for the Yang Sui Dynasty to have swelled into behemoths, some of the wang clans were destroyed or weakened in the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the so-called "five surnames and seven hopes" were strengthened again in the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, even if the Li family in Longxi was extremely afraid of getting the world later.

After the Yang family on the other side of Xingyang County was incorporated into the Han Kingdom, they chose to take Ran Min as a backer, and the two families had many contradictions as early as during the reign of Shijie, waiting for Xingyang County to become the territory of the Han State, the two families should have been dormant for a while, the problem is that the Zheng family thinks that they have Sang Yu, the right prime minister as a backer, and it seems that Liu Yan also treats the Zheng family preferentially, the result is that the Zheng family can't bear it first, and the result of the battle is because of the intervention of Ran Min's side, which led to the defeat of the Zheng family.

The Yang family is an old family, which can be traced back to the Yang Biao generation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they first suffered heavy losses during the Dong Zhuo rebellion, and then because Yang Xiu died once in the Cao Wei period, resulting in a comprehensive decline, and when the Sima family usurped the throne and established the Jin court, it was restored because it was determined by the family background, and the problem was that it quickly declined after the rule of the Xiongnu and Shijie.

"They were the ones who did it first, who is to blame" Ran Min said indifferently: "When I arrive in Xiangguo, I will naturally explain it to the right prime minister." ” For a while, all the retainers only felt speechless, they had always known that Ran Min's political talent was blank, and it was useless to teach and remind him repeatedly.

In some ways, they are also glad that Ran Min is politically naïve, just because the current ruler is Liu Yan.

After another period of deliberation, waiting for someone to report that it was ready, Ran Min only took Jiang Gan as his personal staff and five hundred horsemen as escorts, and went straight to Xiangguo.

Ran Min and his entourage arrived in Xiangguo directly to the camp of the military camp, and were summoned by Liu Yan after the report.

"Why doesn't the king stay in the palace" Ran Min was in a hurry to be a servant, the first sentence made Liu Yan stunned, and then said: "The minister heard some rumors, saying that the king and the many women placed in the palace sang every night, and they should have pulled out their tongues." ” Yecheng and Xiangguo's palace city together settled more than 30,000 women, they were all forced to be taken by Shi Hu, should have been released home, but some women who returned home encountered tragic misfortune, and then Liu Yan took some measures to let those women choose whether to go back or not, and only a few people were willing to return to their hometowns.

In fact, if history has not changed, the original fate of those women who were captured by Shi Hu would have been very tragic, after Ran Min established himself in the Wei State, Shi Jie and Murong Xianbei came to attack, the besieged Yecheng lacked food and could only eat people, Yi Zi cannibalism or eating corpses became a common phenomenon at that time, and most of the original more than 30,000 women were eaten.

Waiting for Ran Min to be defeated, they were received by Murong Yanjun, raped and walked two-legged sheep, and the remaining thousands of people were driven into the river and drowned when they arrived in Youzhou.

"Yongzeng is still so open-mouthed."

Liu Yan was not annoyed, he asked Ran Min to find a place to sit down, and he was standing next to the mountains and rivers and thinking about something.

After waiting for a while, he turned his head and saw Ran Min carrying a kettle to fill it, first instructed Xun Xian to prepare food in the afternoon, and then said to Ran Min: "Shijie and Murong Xianbei are about to fight back, and Zhao Yongzeng came to report on his work, and secondly, he wanted to hear what Yongzeng had to say." ” "The Han sent a large army to the south to conquer the puppet dynasty, and the Hu people thought that the Han was short of troops on the northern front, and it was not surprising that they would gather troops to attack."

Ran Min put down the kettle and said with a grin: "Come and come, the minister should cut Yin Bi's head and sacrifice it to the king." ” Liu Yan laughed out loud after hearing this: "It's Yongzeng's style." ” In fact, Liu Yan was somewhat worried in advance that Ran Min would think too much, and when he heard that Yin Bi's head was going to be sacrificed, he naturally heard that Ran Min had some guesses about what arrangements the center would have, and he did not resist.

"If Murong Xianbei is on the defensive, there is naturally no problem for the minister to be fully responsible for the northern front."

Ran Min looked at Liu Yan directly and said: "Shijie and Murong Lianghu invited each other to fight back, Youzhou is too far away from the shogunate of the ministers, and the king should build another shogunate to deal with it." ” Liu Yan also looked at Ran Min, nodded and said, "Yongzeng can think like this, and the widow is very pleased. ” "In many cavalry battles, Shijie has spied on the many advantages of saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, and recent engagements have seen Shijie cavalry equipped with similar equipment."

Ran Min's Northern Expeditionary Corps had nearly 70,000 cavalry under his command, and he had lost more than 10,000 in the past year, and he had not been able to replenish it.

He said bluntly: "There is no shortage of good horses in the Han Dynasty, what is lacking is excellent knights, and the ministers think that they can recruit the naturalized Hu people who are good at riding and naturalizing them as soldiers, so as to maintain an advantage in cavalry warfare." ” The saddle has been there for a long time, but the style is different.

Stirrups and horseshoes were used to equip the cavalry of the Han army in the second year of Yuan Shuo.

In fact, stirrups have also appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, mainly single-legged stirrups that are convenient for horses, but I don't know why they were not made into double-legged stirrups.

The Han army has always been at war with the Shijie Zhao State, and the secrets of those equipment are simply difficult to hide, and it is natural to be learned.

"It doesn't matter."

Liu Yan is talking about the facts: "Even if you want to see the importance of the horseshoe, it is difficult to fully list the productivity of the stone jie. ” Ran Min is on the front line and can get first-hand feedback, and the fact is that as Liu Yan said, there can be many substitutes for saddles and stirrups, and the productivity of horseshoes and stone slabs is simply difficult to popularize.

The two talked a lot, mostly talking about the battle situation on the side of Bingzhou, according to Ran Min, after Shijie gave up so many states and counties, the troops and troops all retreated to the north, and it was not easy to fight.

"The king" Ran Min asked more suddenly: "The king has obtained the jade seal of the country, can he be called the emperor?"

Liu Yan immediately laughed, he knew the reason why Ran Min asked the emperor, it was not a secret that this guy wanted to get the prince in the Han Kingdom
