In Xiangguo, on the long street, rows of Wei army prisoners and civilians transporting baggage were pinned to the ground.
Many people resisted hysterically, but they had not eaten water or rice for several days and were already exhausted from hunger.
Shi Zhi, Zhang Ju, Zhang Chen, Zhao Lu and other Jie Zhao Junchen stood in front of the surrendered generals in high spirits.
"Isn't this Lu Chen, the assistant minister of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?" Shi Zhi stretched out his hand and pinched the chin of a prisoner.
The prisoner's hair was pale, his eyes were deep and tired, and he stared at Shi Zhi expressionlessly. His mouth squirmed, but he couldn't say a word.
The official position of Zhongshu Shilang was given by Shi Hu.
Lu Chen was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, the great-grandson of Lu Yu, Sikong of the Cao Wei Dynasty, the grandson of Lu Jue, Wei Qing of the Western Jin Dynasty, and Lu Zhi, a great scholar and famous general of the late Han Dynasty, was his great ancestor.
It is famous in Hebei.
Zhang Ju on the side couldn't stand it any longer, "Your Majesty, Lu...Gong is so popular in the world, and if you keep him alive, you can gain the hearts of Hebei people."
"The human heart?" Shi Zhi's face twisted, "Then cut him open and let me see what his heart is like!"
He lost the title of emperor externally, but internally he still regarded himself as Emperor Jie Zhao.
The two guards mentioned Lu Chen on the spot and walked to the execution platform...
Shi Zhi's eyes turned to the next person, and the hatred in his eyes became more and more intense, "This person was introduced into the clan by Emperor Ming, and was especially favored, ranking among the three princes. However, when the country was in danger, he turned around and joined the thieves!"
What he was talking about was Jie Zhao Situ and Ran Wei Sikong Shi Pu, who were the great-grandsons of Shi Bao, the great Sima of Jin Dynasty. Because they were from the Shi family in Bohai, Hebei, they were treated as clan members by Shi Le.
"Hahaha..." Shi Pu used all his strength to laugh weakly, "I hate that Ran Min can't kill all the Hulu!"
Shi Zhi's sunken eye sockets emitted waves of vicious light, "Then I will slaughter all of you treacherous people today! Come and chop the traitor Shi Pu into thousands of pieces, and punish him with the punishment of a great punishment if you are a captain or a lieutenant or above. The rest will be beheaded."
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Ju's whole body trembled.
But Shi Zhi threw up his sleeves and walked away.
Soon, Xiangguo turned into a purgatory. A river of blood slowly flowed down the long street. Internal organs and heads were everywhere, and corpses were transported out of the city in carloads.
The massacre lasted for five days, and more than 100,000 people starting from Sikong Shi Pu, Shangshu Ling Xu Ji, and Zhongshu Superintendent Lu Chen were all massacred.
The body of Ran Min's son Ran Yin was disemboweled and hung above the south city gate.
The bloody atmosphere in Xiangguo is soaring...
At the same time, there are more than a dozen heads hanging on the Guangde Gate in Yecheng.
Fa Rao's pale eyes were looking north in the direction of Xiangguo.
After returning to Yecheng, Ran Min ordered the executioners to kill all the people in the city. All the corpses were dismembered and thrown into the Zhang River, with their heads hanging on the city gate.
Ran Min followed the advice of Zhang Ai, the captain of Shesheng, and went out of the city to worship heaven. He posthumously awarded Wei Huan the title of Great Situ, and the people in Yecheng calmed down a little.
However, at this time Liu Xian's 70,000 troops had arrived at Mingguang Palace, which was twenty-three miles away from Yecheng.
Ran Min defeated the Xiang Kingdom, and the entire army of 100,000 elite troops was annihilated. All the more than 100,000 Hu people captured in the battle of Cangting fled. At this time, there were less than 50,000 troops in the city, morale was low, and people's hearts were shaken.
"The thieves are coming with heavy troops, do you have any good strategies?" After a big defeat, Ran Min lost his previous vigor, like a gambler who lost all his chips.
Everyone in the palace was silent.
Among the first-class figures in the country, only Liu Qun and Wang Jian are left.
Wang Jian cupped his hands and said: "General Wei is very strategic and must have a good plan. Why doesn't Your Majesty ask for his advice?"
"Where is General Wei?" When he mentioned Wang Tai, Ran Min regretted that if he could have listened to his advice and defended the camp, it didn't matter whether he won or not, at least he would not have been defeated so miserably.
"Your Majesty, General Wei is recuperating in his mansion after breaking out of the siege." Someone in the palace answered.
"Go and invite me quickly."
The guard flew away on horseback and returned in a moment, "Your Majesty, General Guard is ill in bed due to a sore that won't heal."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Wang Tai broke out from Xiang State and returned to Yecheng six or seven days before Ran Min. When Ran Min disappeared, Wang Tai came forward to comfort the soldiers in Yecheng, but as soon as Ran Min came back, Wang Tai claimed that he was ill...
Everyone could see that this was because he resented Ran Min for not listening to his plan in the first place.
Ran Min's face darkened. Since he took power, there have been many people who dared to contradict and disobey him, and Wei Huan was one of them.
However, the enemy army was imminent, and the gloom on Ran Min's face disappeared briefly, "I will go and visit in person."
Then he led his ministers to the palace.
Ran Min thought that he had lowered his status and went to ask Wang Tai, giving him enough face and steps, but he didn't expect that he was rejected directly. The door of the palace was locked, and the guards wouldn't open it no matter how hard they knocked.
Finally, the door opened, and it was Wang Tai's eldest son who came out, "Your Majesty, my father's wounds have not healed. He is ill in bed and cannot see your Majesty."
The enemy troops were approaching, and Ran Min had not yet recovered from the defeat, and it was a time of great distress.
After being rejected by Wang Tai, he suddenly became furious and returned to the palace without saying a word. He said to his left and right: "Banu, why do you need to use your plan to save your life? I will kill the barbarians first, and then kill Wang Tai." "
Wang Taiba was born, and Ran Min even called him "Nai Gong", which shows the depth of resentment.
Ran Min has always been arrogant and confident, but Xiang Guo's defeat trampled his arrogance and confidence under his feet, and Wang Tai suddenly became an outlet.
The only large army in Yecheng was assembled. Ran Min selected 20,000 "elites" and went directly out of the city to face Liu Xian's 70,000 army.
"If we can't win this battle, I will die before you!" Ran Min was completely willing to fight.
Yecheng will definitely not be able to hold it, people's hearts are unstable, barbarians are swarming on all sides, and the outcome of the siege will only make Yecheng weaker and weaker.
Shi Zhi killed and captured more than 100,000 people, including their family members, children, and neighbors.
Every household in Yecheng wore sackcloth and mourning, and went north to cry.
If this battle is defeated, the Han people in Yecheng will definitely be killed like prisoners.
The Wei army was not only a mourning soldier, but also a desperate soldier.
Ran Min led his troops to ride forward, and the Zhulong horse rolled through the military formation like a blazing flame. The guards shouted over and over again: "This battle cannot be won. I shall die before you!"
Hatred was ignited once again.
Ran Min did what he said, and rode out, crashing into Jie Zhao's army like a thunderbolt.
Boom——
The hoofbeats of a thousand fine knights gathered together, making a huge sound as if the sky was shattering.
Hatred, anger, resentment...
Various emotions bitten into Ran Min's heart like poisonous snakes. From him onwards, everyone was prepared to die.
One man's life can take away the spirit of three armies! Twenty thousand desperate soldiers roamed the world.
Then a miracle happened again, and Zhao Jun, who was killed by Ran Min's 20,000 troops at the first sight, fell back on his horse.
Even Liu Xian's tooth flag was cut off by Ran Min.
The Zhao army was defeated on the spot, and the Wei army followed up and pursued them from Yecheng to Yangping County on the Yellow River. They killed 30,000 Hu people and refused to let go.
Liu Xian, the general of Jie Zhao, was forced into desperation and secretly sent someone to surrender to Ran Min, promising to kill Shi Zhi as compensation.
Ran Min then sent his troops back to Yecheng.
In April of the second year of Yongxing in Ran Wei (351), someone revealed that Wang Tai had recruited Qin people and would flee to his homeland in Guanzhong. Ran Min was angry and killed them, and the three Yi tribes...
