Xiang Guo could not be conquered for a long time, so Ran Min had to adjust his strategy, from a sudden attack to a long-term siege, and to fight steadily.
Houses were built in the camp for the Wei troops to live, and fields were cultivated in preparation for spring farming.
The minister ordered Liu Qun to personally supervise the transportation of grain and grass from Yecheng, and rested for several days. The morale of the Wei army recovered slightly.
"Shi Kun and Yao Xiang's defeated generals are not worth mentioning!" Ran Min quickly got the news, but he didn't take it to heart.
Shi Kun was defeated by him twice, and each time he captured and killed tens of thousands of people.
As for Yao Xiang, during the Battle of Xingyang, Ran Min never looked at him.
"Shi Kun holds an army of 200,000 and is no match for His Majesty, let alone only 30,000 or 40,000 defeated soldiers? Yao Xiang was defeated by Fu Hong and his vitality was severely damaged. There is nothing to worry about!" Farao followed Ran Min's wishes and flattered him. With.
Right Guard General Wang Tai said: "Even so, we cannot take it lightly."
"Although Shi Kun and Yao Xiang are not afraid, Yue Wan is not a trivial matter. According to the information sent by the Black Cloud Army, Yue Wan's 30,000 armored soldiers set off from Dragon City and have been recharging their strength for nearly a year!" Liu Qun said with cupped hands! .
Ran Min rubbed his temples. After four months of continuous siege, even Steel was tired. At this moment, Ran Min also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The state of Xiang was so strong that the Wei army tried every means but never captured the city.
As the emperor of Ran Wei, Ran Min had to worry about more than just the battlefield.
Not only were the barbarians unable to kill them all, but they were killing more and more.
Jie, Hu, Qiang, Di, Xiongnu, Xianbei...
This does not include the Gaoche people, Tuoba Xianbei and other tribes who are eyeing the grasslands.
"Hu Mu leads 20,000 cavalry to resist Yao Xiang, and Sun Wei leads 10,000 troops to resist Shi Kun. There is no need to fight, just block him at Changlu and Huangqiu. When Yue Wan arrives, I will personally lead the cavalry to kill him! "Ran Min cheered up and his eyes glowed with glory.
"Take your orders!" All the generals handed over their hands.
Only Liu Qun and Wang Tai frowned.
Both Hu Mu and Sun Wei were not veteran generals. Because of their merits in supporting Ran Min, they were given important positions and rose through the ranks. One was named General of Chariots and Cavalry, and the other was named General of Left Guard.
But the edict had been issued and the raw rice had become cooked rice, so the two of them could only remain silent.
Ran Min's general, Zhou Cheng, was seriously injured when he attacked Xiang State last time, but was rescued by his personal guards.
Su Yanchi came to help Changshan but has not returned yet.
As for the begging generals, since Gao Kai surrendered, Ran Min has not dared to reuse them. If he can surrender one, he can surrender the second one. He knows the nature of the begging generals very well. These people secretly have an affair with the Heiyun Army. Ran Min Min had heard about it a long time ago.
Therefore, Dong Run, Zhang Wen and others were temporarily idle in Yecheng, and their trusted general Jiang Gan was secretly guarded.
Within a few days, Yao Xiang arrived at Changlu and Shi Kun arrived at Huangqiu, but Yue Wan, like a cunning old wolf, stopped in Julu County and was not in a hurry to attack.
At this time, the Wei army still had a slight upper hand.
Yue Wan came all the way, and the Wei army rested for more than half a month. Their morale had recovered and they were ready to work.
There was no problem with Ran Min's arrangement. Changlu and Huangqiu were both easy to defend and difficult to attack places. The Wei army was still waiting for work. Ran Min's original intention was to consume Yao Xiang and Shi Kun and force Yue Wan to show up.
However, no one expected that in less than five days, both Changlu and Huangqiu would be conquered.
Hu Mu and Sun Wei fled back to the Xiangguo camp alone, and their 30,000-strong army was wiped out...
"The thieves and the thieves are not a trivial matter this time. All of Yao Xiang's subordinates are determined to die. They were caught off guard and they broke into the camp. They came here to meet your majesty to die!" Hu Mu put his head on the ground, not even daring to look at Ran. Min glanced.
Sun Wei on the other side was still defending, "It's not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy army is too cunning. With 10,000 men and Shi Kun's 40,000 men, they were besieged on all sides, and my men miscalculated..."
The veins on Ran Min's forehead throbbed.
No one among the generals present came out to intercede.
Changlu and Huangqiu fell, and the Xiangguo camp faced the risk of being encircled by the enemy. Originally, the geographical advantage was in the hands of the Wei army, but now Yao Xiang and Shi Kun relied on the geographical advantage to suppress the Wei army.
And these two defeats were another blow to the morale that had just recovered.
The Wei army's only advantage was gone.
Ran Min started from the brocade couch and walked towards the two of them step by step.
The two of them trembled involuntarily.
"Since we have lost, what can we say?" Ran Min picked up Sun Wei and threw him outside the tent, "Behead!"
Sun Wei was beaten so badly that he couldn't even utter a word to beg for mercy, so he was carried away by two guards.
Hu Mu put his head on the ground, waiting for Ran Min's rage to come. Unexpectedly, Ran Min just helped him up and said, "It's not your fault."
"Your Majesty..." Hu Mu burst into tears of gratitude.
Ran Min walked to the center of the tent and said, "In this battle, I will personally lead an army of 100,000 to fight against the thieves!"
In the Battle of Pingji, Ran Min destroyed Shi Chong and killed 30,000 surrendered soldiers. In the Battle of Yebei, Ran Min destroyed Shi Kun and Wang Lang's 70,000 troops in one battle. In the Battle of Cangting, Ran Min defeated the 20-man army of Zhu Hu. Ten thousand……
Every time he personally leads the troops into battle, he can win a great victory.
Although the situation is not good at this time, Ran Min has absolute confidence in himself.
At this time, Wang Tai stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Today strong enemies have gathered, trying to force our army to fight, and attack me from the front and back. The only plan for now is to solidify the base and not move out, and observe the situation and move to thwart their plans. Now your Majesty is going to the army personally. , if everything is lost, the big thing is over. Please be careful and don’t make any mistakes. Please lead your troops to destroy it for Your Majesty!"
Yue Wan remained hidden, waiting for the Wei army to come out and fight.
Although the situation is unfavorable to the Wei army, if the situation continues, the Wei army may not lose.
There is a large amount of food and grass accumulated in the camp, which can last for half a year. Shi Zhi, Yue Wan, Yao Xiang and Shi Kun will definitely not be able to use it for half a year.
Wang Tai's words also awakened Shi Min, "What you said is absolutely true!"
If they don't go to war, the Wei army will not lose. Once they go to war, the outcome will be unpredictable.
That's it for Yao Xiang and Shi Kun. The key is that Yue Wan has been hiding behind them.
Just when Ran Min decided to stick to the camp, Fa Rao stood up and said, "I watched the sky last night, Taibai Jing Pleiades, I must kill King Hu, a hundred grams in one battle, don't lose it!"
Taibai star is the master of the killing. During the Three Kingdoms period, a famous scholar from the Wei state, Ru Chun, commented: Taibai, the general of heaven.
It should be on Ran Min.
Pleiades is facing the direction of Zhao in the field of twenty-eight stars, and should be on the body of Shi Zhi who is resisting the banner of Jie Zhao.
There was an incident of Taibai Jing Pleiades in history. During the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, Taibai star should be white.
Now Taibai Jing Pleiades once again, Lord Ran Min destroys the Kingdom of Zhao!
Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, prophecy has become a prominent school.
From Dong Zhuo's "Thousands of miles of grass, how young! Ten days of divination, there will be no birth", to Cao Cao's "Three horses in the trough", and Sima Yi's "The cow succeeds the horse", all have far-reaching influence.
Ran Min changed his last name to "Li" for the prophecy of "following Zhao Li", which shows his obsession with prophecies.
Farao's words were like a pebble thrown into an already calm lake, causing ripples again.
A battle of 100 grams!
One battle will decide the world, and all the efforts will be accomplished in one battle, which fully understands Ran Min's nature.
The previous three battles were almost all like this. Ran Min led the troops to fight, rushed the entire army, and then killed the enemy troops to a rout...
"God's will is elusive, and very few people can know it. Your Majesty has the hope of the Chinese people, how can you underestimate the enemy and advance rashly just because of a prophecy?" Wang Tai tried his best.
Liu Qun also cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty..."
However, Ran Min waved his hand to stop him. At this moment, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, "I will fight to the death. Anyone who dares to remonstrate will be killed!"
