The name Ran Min is a God of War figure who has many loyal fans on the Internet in later generations. →eight→eight reading, ↓o≥
His life can be said to be two extremes. In the first half of his life, he was a general of Shi Zhao and a member of the Shi Zhao royal family. In the last few years of his life, Ran Min became the most iron-fisted strongman in the north who killed the Hu people, a Jie who was full of evil. Hu Shi's family was also destroyed in his hands.
Although Ran Min committed indiscriminate killing of beggars and civilians, he did not receive support from the powerful families in the north, and his influence in establishing the Wei State was very limited.
But Ran Min was the one who launched another resistance by the Han people in the north that had been sinking for decades since Zu Ti. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, he shouted the slogan of killing Hu and taking revenge.
As a lone warrior against Murong's tribe, Ran Min fought against Murong's tribe for ten battles before being defeated. His toughness can be said to have been inherited from his father, Ran Liang, and grandfather, Ran Long.
Soon, the guards brought in Ran Long and Ran Liang, father and son.
After Ran Long entered the big tent, he saw several generals in armored uniforms lined up in the big tent. The one in the middle was sturdy and wore exquisite two-tier iron armor that was only worn by senior generals. He I guess this must be the Donglai thief, Liu Yu, the governor of Qingzhou.
"Ran Long, the beggar army, pays homage to the general!"
Ran Long hurriedly took his son to salute him respectfully. He was pitiful for a strong man in the beggar army. The strong man against a hundred people was still white. In the beggar army, this was a very common situation. Only a few people like Li Yun and Chen Wu were talented. Some miscellaneous general titles.
"Weijun Ranlong, I have heard of your reputation a long time ago. When I saw you today, you are indeed extraordinary and brave. You are worthy of being a brave general in the army of beggars."
Liu Yu took a step forward, helped Ran Long up, and kept praising him, but his eyes couldn't look at Ran Liang, the young man behind him.
I saw that Ran Liang was six feet tall. Although he was not as tall as an adult man, he was an absolute leader among his peers. Moreover, he was born with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain. When he grew up, he would be a particularly fierce military commander. No wonder he was named Shi Hu in history. After being adopted as his adopted son and renamed Shi Zhan, he quickly became Shi Hu's general.
"As soon as the villain appears in white, he is lucky that the general will not abandon him, but he will never dare to show his courage in front of the general's might."
When Liu Yu heard this, he didn't expect that Ran Long, who looked rough in appearance, could actually have a delicate mind.
Ran Long couldn't help but feel excited when he heard Liu Yu in front of him calling himself "Weijun Ran Long".
Regardless of whether what Liu Yu said was true or not, the sound of "Weijun Ranlong" made him feel as if he had become a famous person in Xianzhou County.
"All the beggar soldiers are strong men who can kill Hu, especially you, Ran Long, who bravely crossed the enemy lines and traveled hundreds of miles to ask for help. These good men who are not afraid of life and death can all be protector generals in our Qingzhou Army. , I am just a brave general, how can I not be worthy of it?"
Liu Yu's words made Ran Long feel warmer in his heart.
Ran Long then thought about the blank looks and cold treatment he had received since he came out of Guangping and went to three places to ask for help, and a strong feeling arose in his heart that a soldier would die for his confidant. If he hadn't kept in mind the beggar commander Chen Wu's kindness to him, he would have just I am afraid that I have long wanted to defect to the Qingzhou Army.
Later, after Liu Yu exchanged greetings with him, he told Ran Long that the purpose of the Qingzhou Army's visit was to rescue the begging troops of Guangping and Guangzong.
After learning about this, Ran Long immediately knew that the beggar army in Guangping had been saved, and he felt grateful again.
Later, Liu Yu asked Ran Long about the situation in Guangping.
"Shi Le's troops besieging Guangping this time should have as many as 50,000 troops. I estimate that there are about 10,000 Hu cavalry among them, and the remaining 40,000 are refugees from Si, Yu, and Hebei."
Ran Long's answer confirmed Wu Xin and Liu Yu's previous guesses.
Liu Yu asked again.
"What's the population of Guangping City?"
"Quangping was occupied by rebels before. When the beggar army entered the city, it was basically an empty city. At this time, there were only 20,000 beggar soldiers in the city, including 5,000 elite soldiers and 2,000 volunteers. ∝八∝八∝Read ∝Book, ◆ o+" Ran Long said.
Liu Yu knew that the so-called five thousand elite soldiers were men in their prime of life, and the two thousand volunteers were half-grown children like the old man and Ran Liang. This shows the tragic situation of the beggar army.
"Then when our army advances towards the Guangping rebel army, do you think the beggar army in the city can come out of the city to respond?"
Liu Yu's question made Ran Long feel a little confused.
"If the general led his army to fight against the bandit Hu and was close to Guangping, the beggars in the city would definitely go out of the city to respond when they saw reinforcements coming. But if the defenders of Guangping only saw the movement of bandit troops, they would not know whether When reinforcements arrive, they most likely will not send troops. After all, the Hulu have used the tactic of pretending to retreat before to lure our troops, and Chen Xuanwei is probably afraid that the thieves will repeat their same tactics."
Although Ran Long's words were not what Liu expected to hear, they were absolutely truthful and did not guarantee anything in order for the Qingzhou Army to rescue the Guangping Begging Army.
"These are small things, no big deal."
Liu Yu patted Ran Long's shoulder affectionately and continued.
"Yuan Chang, are you familiar with the terrain ahead?"
Ran Long nodded vigorously.
"I'm familiar with the mountains and terrain in Guangping and Weijun. I can say that I can recognize them even with my eyes closed."
"Okay, in that case, you will temporarily serve as a guide for the Qingzhou Cavalry. When the bandit Hu is defeated, I will recommend you to a real general position, how about it?"
When Ran Long heard this, he quickly saluted respectfully.
"General, we are here for tens of thousands of begging troops. Ran Long is the vanguard of the Qingzhou Army. They are all part of his job. How dare you ask the general to recommend any military position."
"Hahaha, in the Qingzhou Army, those who have faults will be punished, and those who have merit will be rewarded. This is the fairest thing. Ran Yuanchang, don't refuse."
"The little man, please thank the general for his trust first."
Liu Yu then looked at Ran Liang and said again.
"Your son, Ran Liang, is truly a young hero. He has won my heart. When this war is over, why not follow me back to Qingzhou to study and practice martial arts, and polish them into a great weapon. I will treat him as a nephew. Brother Yuan Chang, can you see it?"
Liu Yu expected that the young Ran Liang's biological father, Ran Long, was still alive and well. It was impossible for him to propose adopting him as his adopted son, but the title of "Ran Min's father" still made Ran Liang in Liu Yu's heart. It was very important, so I brought it up with the lame excuse of "I treat it like a nephew."
After hearing this, Ran Long thought quickly in his mind and came up with an idea. Nowadays, the situation of the beggar army in Hebei is getting increasingly difficult. Not only are they killing more and more Huru, but there are also droughts, locust plagues and plagues in recent years. Ran Long is already a member of the beggar army, and he will definitely not abandon the beggar handsome Chen Wu, but his son Ran Liang is different. He is still so young, only twelve years old. If he can go to Qingzhou, which is relatively safe, , that would definitely be better than continuing to stay in Hebei.
"Ran Long understands the general's good intentions. As long as the general doesn't dislike it, Long will definitely get what he wants. But Ran Liang is used to being in the beggar army. He is afraid that if he offends the general again, it will be a death penalty."
Ran Long was willing in his heart, but he said he was willing to retreat in order to advance.
Since Ran Long came in, Liu Yu's initial impression of him was that he was a rough martial artist. At this time, it seemed that he was almost confused by his appearance.
However, Liu Yu understood Ran Long's considerations as a father.
"A man should be high-spirited and not wild, how can he become the enemy of thousands of people."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Ran Liang again and said to him.
"Ran Liang, let me ask you, are you willing to come back to Qingzhou with me and I will teach you how to be an enemy of thousands of people? When you grow up, you will become a general."
The young man Ran Liang raised his head, met Liu Yu's gaze with his eyes, and said firmly with a face full of determination.
"I dont go."
"..." Liu Yu said.
Ran Long seemed to have expected this and immediately began to reprimand him.
"Ran Liang, you said such nonsense, but you still haven't thanked the general."
Young Ran Liang said in a hoarse voice with mist in his eyes.
"I said, wherever my father goes, I will go. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will be with my father."
After Liu Yu heard this, he thought in his heart, I was shocked, it turned out to be like this, I thought he looked down on the origin of the Qingzhou Army. If that were the case, a kid from the begging army would dare to look down on Liu Yutian's master. The old story of a thief would be really embarrassing.
"You..." Ran Long started to scold him, but was suddenly interrupted by Liu Yu.
"This is easy. Once the Shile Hulu are defeated, I will personally ask Chen Xuanwei for help. I will definitely not let you and your son be separated."
After a few words, Liu Yu ordered his men to take Ran Long and his son down to rest. After all, they had to get up early the next day to conduct reconnaissance as a forward ranger.
On the next day, Ran Long followed Chen Xian, the cavalry Zuodu Banner leader he had seen yesterday, as a ranger scout to lead the way. Moreover, before leaving the camp, Ran Long specially left his son Ran Liang in the Qingzhou military camp. , did not let Ran Liang follow.
When Liu Yu heard about this, he understood that Ran Long deliberately kept his son in the army. Firstly, it was safer than being a knight in the army, and secondly, it was to show Liu Yu that he had kept his son as a hostage. Therefore, Ran Long would definitely not harm the Qingzhou army when he went out to serve as a scout guide, and would allow Liu Yu to lead his army to move faster.
After Liu Yu casually mentioned these conjectures to Wu Xin, Liu Xun and others around him, these people all felt that Ran Long was really a thoughtful person.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that he, a brave warrior, could be so careful and meticulous."
Liu Xun, who was only a teenager, couldn't help but speak out.
"As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. I, a man from Hebei, are both wise and brave, armed with guns and well-informed."
Wu Xin was also impressed by Ran Long, a peer from Yanzhao.
Although yesterday was the first time that Liu Yu saw Ran Long, Liu Yu still had great trust in Ran Long, a martyr who died in Hanoi with the Begging Army in history, at least in the matter of rescuing the Quang Binh Begging Army. On top of that, Ran Long’s credibility is perfect.
I originally wanted to conquer "Ran Min's father" Ran Liang, but I never expected that this "Ran Min's grandfather" Ran Long also seemed to be a good general.
According to historical records, in a few months, Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, should return the seventeen-year-old "murderer" Shi Hu to Shi Le. Well, Liu Kun's trick has been spread in the world. After a long period of "meat buns beating dogs", Shi Hu was the general that Shi Le really relied on.
Liu expected that if the time was right, he would have the opportunity to stage a "Ran Liang vs. Shi Hu" in the future.
. . . . .
Guangping County, Zhangshui, North Bank.
After entering winter this year, there were only two light snowfalls in Guangping County. There were not a few patches of snow on the entire land, and it was all o' land.
However, the coldness of this winter has not become warmer due to the decrease in snowfall, but has become drier and colder.
Ran Long, together with Chen Xian of the Qingzhou Army Cavalry, led dozens of cavalrymen as forwards to explore the road.
Because of their friendship yesterday, Ran Long and Chen Xian were already very familiar with each other today, as if they were colleagues who had known each other for many years.
After wandering for a long time without finding any enemy, Ran Long, Chen Xian and others slowed down and walked slowly.
At this time, Ran Long finally couldn't help it and asked Chen Xian tentatively.
"Deming, what do you think the chances of winning against the Shilehu thieves this time are?"
Upon hearing this question, Chen Xian said very confidently without even turning his head.
"No need to ask, of course it's 100%."
Ran Long had already expected Chen Xian's confident answer, but the doubts in his heart were still not solved.
Because Ran Long felt that the Qingzhou Army's strength was too small!
When he entered the Qingzhou Army camp yesterday, it was already dark. Seeing Liu Juju, Ran Long did not dare to ask about the strength of the Qingzhou Army for fear of being regarded as a villain with ulterior motives.
When leaving camp today, Ran Long looked back to observe the Qingzhou Army's camp. Based on the light smoke from the breakfast campfire and the size of the camp, he speculated that the strength of the Qingzhou Army was probably about 10,000.
With only this small force, Liu Yu's Qingzhou Army was too entrusted with the task of rescuing the Guangping Begging Army.
You must know that there are more than 50,000 Shilehu bandits near Guangping alone, and there are the same number of Liu Ling bandits near Guangzong, a hundred miles away. The two bandit armies combined are almost ten times The number of people in the Qingzhou Army.
Even though there are many homeless scum in the bandit army, there are still more than 20,000 people in the real Hu bandit army.
"Do you know how many people are in the Hu bandit army in front?"
"Didn't you mean more than 50,000 people?" Chen Xian was a little confused.
"Then do you know how many soldiers your Qingzhou Army has?"
"Of course I know, there are eleven thousand people."
Chen Xian knew about Ran Long. He met Liu Yu yesterday and seemed to be trusted and admired by Liu Yu. He even heard that Liu Yu wanted to accept his son as his disciple, so Chen Xian knew everything about Ran Long.
After Ran Long heard this, he realized that the strength of the troops was indeed almost the same as what he had guessed.
Seeing that Chen Xian still looked confident, he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Ten thousand versus fifty thousand, maybe even one hundred thousand, are you so sure?"
"Then what's the point? The general said, these barbarians are all refugees who have been coerced to serve as soldiers. The real barbarians are only more than 20,000 people in total. There is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, the beggar army in Guangping City is also a powerful assistance. ?!"
When Ran Long heard what Chen Xian said, it was not unreasonable to think so, but is it really okay to simply treat the tens of thousands of refugees and thieves like air? You must know that tens of thousands of refugees form a dense formation, which is enough to stand alone. of.
After hearing Ran Long's concern about the number of refugees, Chen Xian said again.
"Our general has said that our army's armor is strong and powerful. It can kill those thieves without armor. One of them can defeat five."
Seeing that Chen Xian was still so confident, Ran Long couldn't help but feel a little worried. Chen Xian and the Qingzhou Army were too arrogant, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
Even the elite central army of the imperial court would not dare to be so aggressive when facing five times the number of enemies in a field battle.
Seeing that Ran Long still had a worried look on his face, Chen Xian couldn't help but want to talk to Yu Wang in his heart.
Chen Xian looked around and found that several other Qingzhou cavalry were far away and could not hear their whispers.
He rode close to Ran Long, leaned into Ran Long's ear, and spoke in a voice he thought was low.
As Chen Xian spoke, Ran Long, who was listening attentively, became more and more surprised, and finally turned into shock, and finally couldn't help but whisper.
"What!? The Qingzhou Army has the magical weapon of the Imperial Envoy Jing Lei? Is it true or false?"
Chen Xian's face was straight and serious.
"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes!" 11
