The news of Shi Hu's stroke must be completely blocked, but there is no absolutely airtight wall in the world, and the difference is when the news leaks.
Ran Min sent a small fleet to the Hutuo River section of Dingxiang with his own considerations, he knew what kind of person Shi Hu was, and he was confident enough to use that move to stimulate the tyranny in Shi Hu's veins, but he didn't know that he was playing big.
A person with a brutal personality usually has a self-righteous factor, such a person will not completely follow the established plan, but will change his personality because of the different things he faces, such as retreating one moment, but the next moment he decides to turn around and fight with so-and-so.
"The retreat on Dingxiang's side has been terminated, and it seems that it is still in some kind of chaos."
Xie An's temperament is very gentle, and he can be regarded as an authentic Confucian general.
He obviously had some guesses, but he definitely didn't expect that it was the chaos caused by Shi Hu's stroke: "Is Shi Hu suspicious, or is something really happening?"
In some respects, the marching commander is the think tank of an army, positioned as a military advisor, Xie An recognizes himself to perform this position well, and he will not delay the business because of his different views on Ran Min in his heart.
He only arrived two days ago, and what he did after coming over was to fully understand the situation, and he didn't make any suggestions to Ran Min for the time being.
"Isn't it exactly what we want them to stop retreating" Ran Min had his own rhythm and said: "Wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and then make an approaching gesture towards Dingxiang." ” There are a lot of troops in the hussar shogunate sequence, not counting the Praetorian Guard and the county soldier system has been determined to be nine standing armies, in addition to the original six of the Northern Shogunate, three more were added, and then covered the three Praetorian Guards and a total of more than 200,000 county soldiers, the total number of soldiers, janissaries, county soldiers, and civilians combined exceeded 500,000, but the distribution of troops was actually very scattered.
The number of troops located in Ran Min's location is currently only 80,000, of which the number of soldiers is less than 40,000.
Li Tan's troops were attacking Jinyang and Quyang, and they were not sure when they would be able to continue north.
The two armies were already on a rapid march, and the rendezvous was seven days away.
The total number of 500,000 people, the one who really participated in the war is 1780,000, which can be regarded as whether the Han State really made great efforts, or the cooperation of the domestic internal affairs construction and the reform period, what about the others Ran Min didn't care, he himself was full of strength and must destroy the Shiqi Zhao State at one time.
The scale of the war was confirmed by Liu Yan himself, and even his prestige did not completely suppress the opposition, and the Prime Minister's Office was forced to reduce the scale of internal affairs construction, but the reform of the law did not end.
After all, gathering a large number of people to work must be fed, and the daily food consumption is definitely an astronomical amount.
The reform of the law is mainly focused on legal reform, and at present, most people's attention is involved in the upcoming war, which makes it much less difficult to change the law.
It is not the first time that Ran Min has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but this time he is still full of excitement to be able to lead 1780,000 soldiers to fight, and he really has the determination to destroy Shi Qian once, and sent documents to Ji Chang more than once, making it clear that there must be no problems with logistics.
Ji Chang was angry and funny when he saw that Ran Min was begging and threatening, and the country's grain reserves had entered a difficult period, which was related to the country's face of the war of annihilation, and the Prime Minister's Mansion did not dare to do anything if he was shrunk or fed, so he could only force Xu Zheng to exert pressure on all aspects of the campaign on the Southwest Peninsula on the other side, and at the same time constantly searched for colleagues and wealthy clans.
The hussar shogunate figured out what happened on the eighth day after Shi Hu suffered a stroke, and there were two ways for them to snoop around, the first was that Shi Hu's sons actually fought each other, and the second was that some of Shi Hu's ministers secretly communicated with each other.
I don't know if it's brain-dead, or if the Hu people are like that, after the news of Shi Hu's stroke leaked, the first person to gather arms was Shi Shi, but the outbreak didn't start from Shi Shi.
Shi Shi is actually still a child now, and his mother is the daughter of Emperor Liu Yao of Later Zhao.
As a royal family of the former dynasty and one of Shi Hu's favorite harems, the Liu family is not the kind of woman who does not have any influence, she is surrounded by many old ministers who were originally the former Zhao, and some Han people and martial arts are also attached to Shi Hu after Shi Qian's ambition.
It was Zhang Jackal who suggested to Shi Shi or should it be said that Liu Shi proposed to raise troops, he was a big man who could call the wind and rain during the Shile period, and he was repeatedly encircled in the early stage of Shi Hu's reign, but in the back he could only say that he should be lucky if he didn't die.
Shi Shi's mother, Liu, was originally captured by Zhang Jackal and presented to Shi Hu, who was still the king of Zhongshan at that time, and several people did not have an enemy relationship because of the capture, but on the contrary, they formed a good friendship.
Zhang Jackal suggested that the Liu family only used one sentence to raise troops, that is, Shi Hu was about to die, and the prince Shi Xuan was not a guy who could tolerate people, and he was killed after being humiliated in the back, so it was better to fight to the death.
Liu knew very well what Shi Hu's situation was, and he knew Shi Xuan's brutality, so he naturally had the intention to fight to the death, but it would be false to say that he had no worries.
She asked Zhang to contact the ministers of the DPRK and China, especially those military generals with military power.
Not only that, but she also asked Zhang Jackal, even if it succeeded in the end, how should the Shiqi Zhao Kingdom face the menacing Han State after a civil strife.
Zhang Jackal ran out a series of answers to the question, and he had already contacted Shi Tao, Shi Kun and Shi Chong in advance, and obtained their promise to fight with Shi Shi by various means.
Shi Tao is Shi Hu's fifth son, first as King Anle, and later as Qin Gong, and Shi Xuan for a long time on the wrong path, the two sides fought very fiercely, when Zhang Jackal was looking for him, he was making some preparations, because he knew that Shi Xuan would definitely kill himself after gaining power, and he planned to strike first.
Zhang Jackal deceived him, saying that after the matter was completed, the emperor would be seated by him instead of Shi Shi.
Shi Kun is Shi Hu's eighth son, with the prince of King Ruyin, in general, he is an outlier among Shi Hu's many sons, not to mention the timid and cautious personality, the strange thing is that he worships Han culture incomparably.
Zhang Jackal came to him purely to strengthen his momentum, and scared him that Shi Xuan would definitely kill all his brothers after he ascended the throne.
Originally, he didn't dare to participate in any uprising, just wanted to escape, but Zhang Jackal said that he had found the way to the Han Kingdom, and it was still okay for King Ruyin to go to the Han Kingdom to be a rich man.
I don't know what he thinks, but I really persuaded Zhang Jackal's last statement.
Shi Chong is Shi Hu's youngest son, and it is definitely not him who really takes the idea, but some civil and military who have taken refuge in the door, and Zhang Jackal has done those civil and military forces is equivalent to pulling him in.
In fact, he didn't wait for Zhang Jackal to really launch, it was Shi Xuan who confirmed that Shi Hu couldn't manage the government, and he was the first to find Shi Bin to open the knife.
Shi Bin is one of the most powerful people in the military among Shi Hu's many sons, and has long operated Youzhou with military power, and once controlled Jizhou.
He was the prince who fought the most with the Han army, and sometimes he fought well, Jizhou was captured by the Han army, and Youzhou was given to Murong Yanguo by Shi Hu, he suffered a comprehensive blow, but the strength in his hands was still extremely strong, and he was the first person to threaten the throne of Emperor Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan made a move on Shi Bin, first several assassinations were unsuccessful, and then directly dispatched Gao Li of the East Palace.
Shi Bin did not have any possibility of sitting still, and it was also for Shi Xuan to assassinate several times without success, Shi Xuan dispatched the East Palace Gaoli at the same time, Shi Bin was calling for the pro-army to move, and the two sides were directly fighting in Dingxiang City.
Shi Xuan's East Palace Gaoli is very fierce, Shi Bin's original border army is not bad, and after the two sides move, they will be killed directly in the dark, some rational and loyal ministers to persuade the two, saying that the Han army is about to overwhelm the army, and the infighting between the two is self-defeating, and the red-eyed Shi Xuan and Shi Bin responded that they should let those ministers die first.
The war in the city soon affected everyone, whether active or passive, and those who wanted to protect themselves were involved one after another, and Shi Shi, Shi Tao, Shi Kun and Shi Chong, who were the third party and alliance, were the most eye-catching.
Previously, Shi Qian Wenwu had secretly contacted Ran Min, so that Ran Min learned the news that Shi Hu had a stroke and could not manage the government, and only later did he learn about the civil strife in Dingxiang.
After Ran Min and the others, who were marching to Dingxiang, received the information that Shi Hu's many sons were killing each other, they were really dumbfounded.

"I knew that Shi Hu's many descendants were not compatible," Xie Ai said with emotion: "Hu Lu is really Hu Lu, and he died in a civil war." ” Xie An's dumbfounded couldn't even hide it, and said: "They didn't think about it, even if they fought for that position, how would they face us in the end?"
"Hahaha" Ran Min looked completely surprised, and after a burst of laughter, he said: "It's natural, it's inevitable." ” There is no such thing as "God must first make him mad if he wants to destroy it", but something similar still exists, such as the one that Ran Min just said.
Shijiao suddenly had civil strife, and a large number of civil and military forces rushed to take refuge, and the sudden change actually made some of the previous preparations on the Han side invalid.
"General."
Xie An looked directly at Ran Min and said, "The army is stationed in place" "No" Ran Min knew what Xie An meant, but he didn't intend to accept the suggestion, he said: "Order Li Tan to send cavalry to cut off the northern route, and the other army will directly attack Yanmen County." ” The Shi Qi on the other side of Dingxiang is killing each other, and the approach of the Han army at this time is likely to make those people stop and unite against the enemy, and what the Han army should do is to make those people feel less serious about the external threat, and Xie An's opinion comes from this.
Of course, Ran Min knew what was going on, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it perfectly, on the one hand, he wanted not to let the target escape, and on the other hand, he did not intend to stay.
"In the long history, many times you can't hesitate to launch it."
Ran Min is not a person with high emotional intelligence, and said very bluntly: "There is a risk in rushing forward with the current strength, but what is the risk that there is no risk can match the results achieved, don't worry about any failure." ” Xie An's face became stiff, but he didn't say anything more, let alone snort coldly.
The speed of the soldiers is what Ran Min wants to do the most now, he is already a dignified hussar general, but he took out all the cavalry and personally rushed to Dingxiang directly.
"Hussar General" Xie Ai looked at the background of the cavalry and kept smiling bitterly: "He is worthy of being a hussar general." ” There are very few people in the Han Kingdom who don't know Ran Min's character, understand or not understand that Ran Min has never cared, to say that what everyone can't understand is that Liu Yan can still get used to it.
Xie An and some other people who were left behind looked at the cavalry in the distance, and no one said anything.
Twenty-five miles is not far for the cavalry, Ran Min has to consider the marching order of the cavalry, and what he can do after arriving in Dingxiang.
Civil strife broke out in Dingxiang, and the chaos was not only in the city, although Shi Hu had been constantly transferring people to Shuozhou, but the army had always stayed by his side.
Those princes killed each other, for the civil and military, it was no longer a choice whether they wanted to be involved, but it was difficult for them not to be involved.
After the chaos was complete, it affected all aspects, resulting in the fact that the closer Ran Min got to Dingxiang, the more bizarre what happened.
The Han army came, but no one cared about Dingxiang, and there were still you killing me and I killing you in the city.
Those troops on the periphery of Dingxiang resisted and surrendered, and even directly removed the banner of Shiqian to revolt.
Ran Min is with about 20,000 cavalry, whoever stands in the way will stand up, and he doesn't bother to entangle anymore if he avoids it, so he just goes straight to Dingxiang.
Waiting for Ran Min to arrive at the city of Dingxiang, the fighting in the city did not stop because of the arrival of the Han army, on the contrary, the killing inside became more intense.
Zhang Jackal came over as soon as Ran Min arrived, and the person who appeared with him was Shi Kun.
"Needless to say, this general must say good things in front of the king, and it is indispensable to be given an official title, and nothing will happen if you want to live a stable life."
Ran Min is not in a big package, he has enough confidence to say something like that, as long as he can destroy the Zhao Kingdom, he doesn't have to deliberately pursue some small things, and Liu Yan, as the king, also understands how to grasp the big and let go of the small.
Zhang Jackal was immediately overjoyed, he did so much just to get something, and he thought that he had performed well in this incident, too high an official had no extravagant hopes, and if he could join the Han Kingdom and stand firm, even if he got what he wanted, he was also very looking forward to the title.
Shi Kun had a grateful expression, he and Ran Min had known each other for a long time, and they had some understanding of their personalities, knowing that Ran Min had something to say.
"These are the civil and military lists of the hearts of the great Han."
Zhang Jackal got what he wanted, and he worked harder in his heart: "The villain can go in person and gather an army for the general to assist." ” Don't look at Ran Min who rushed straight to Dingxiang City regardless of it, and there is still a special person to be responsible for the surrender and rebellion in the back.
The latest news he got included that he had nearly 40,000 cannon fodder troops, but it didn't stop him from wanting more soldiers to consume
