"At one step, the country of Ran Wei Xiang was defeated. One hundred thousand elites were wiped out. All the people in the country were dead. The day of defeat was not far away. Moreover, Min Gang was self-willed and killed according to his heart. He raised his grandson for Shi Hu and slaughtered Shi Hu's twenty-eight grandson for Shi Zun. Liangzhi, killed Shi Zun's family, who was an ally of Li Nong, and the three tribes of Yi and Li Nong, who were allied with him at one step, could not see the tragic situation of the three of them alone? Hebei has become a river with blood and piles of corpses piled up like mountains. They all started from this person. Now they are attacking Fang. The head is weak, the division's veterans are tired, and the capital of Ye is empty. Xiang Wen is determined to restore the country's rivers and mountains. The time has come, why not take advantage of the situation to capture Ye's capital, and then attack Ran Min? If this can be done, the niche is willing to serve as the leader and support him. Be the emperor! When the time comes to control the land of Hebei and Yan, and the niche is the pioneer, then the world will be settled day and night. Opportunities cannot be lost and will never come again. I am willing to think carefully about it!"
After Li Yue read the letter, he had to admire Duan Kong's keen eyesight and deep thoughts.
The only way to solve Fangtou's dilemma is to alienate the relationship between Ran Min and himself.
No wonder Duan Gong kept staring at Ran Min and beat him. It turned out that he had already planned it.
Yecheng is so close before our eyes, it is impossible not to be moved.
Ran Minxiang's country was defeated, and Ran Wei's situation was actually over.
However, this thought flashed in his mind, and Duan Gong's intentions were also very sinister. If the Heiyun Army really captured Ye City, would Ran Min just give up outside the city?
He will definitely fight to the death.
When the time comes, Duan Gong becomes a fisherman, and he and Ran Min become snipe and clam.
No matter how many wrong things Ran Min did and how treacherous he was, it is undeniable that he brought a heavy blow to Zhuhu and caused thousands of oppressed and enslaved Chinese people in the northern country to rise up and resist.
Not to mention the integration of nationalities, without the support of strong force, they can only be enslaved and integrated by others...
Where did such barbarians come from in Hebei?
Didn't Jie Zhao transform the various clans?
If Shi Hu had lived ten more years, maybe the descendants of Li Nong and the descendants of Guang Zong's begging army would all become "nationals"...
"Send this letter to Lord Wei." Li Yue ordered his guards.
If a person has no faith, he will not stand up, and stabbing an ally in the back will cause endless troubles.
"The Lord of Wei is lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside. If you send this letter, you will definitely be suspicious." Wei Shan criticized Ran Min quite a bit.
"If we don't send it up, if Duan Gong instigates it, trouble will definitely arise."
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Ma Chao and Han Sui allied forces to attack Cao Cao and swept through Guanzhong with great momentum. However, Cao Cao alienated them with letters, and Ma Chao and Han Sui killed each other.
The current situation, although Jie Zhao was destroyed, the situation has not improved. Instead, Liu Xian separatist the Xiang Kingdom, supporting more than 100,000 Hu tribesmen, and the Murong clan is waiting for the opportunity in the north.
Once Yanzhou and Yecheng are at war with each other, the Chinese people in the north will never be able to get ahead.
At the same time, to the north of Fangtou, the Wei army camped.
Ran Min also received a surrender form. As long as Ran Wei retreated, Duan Gong was willing to offer 10,000 livestock, 100,000 shi of grain, and send his younger brother Duan Qin as hostage.
Duan Gong was actually forced into a desperate situation.
Although the Fangtou is strong, no one can hold it if the siege continues.
"According to the recent reports, Liu Xian is in Xiangguo's army, and he seems to have an agenda for me!" Wang Jian coughed twice.
After the news of Xiang Guo's defeat was sent back to Yedu, Wang Jian vomited blood on the spot, and his body has not recovered to this day.
"Do you want to accept Duan Kong's request to surrender?" Ran Min hesitated.
Ran Wei had not yet recovered from the defeat of Xiang State. He besieged the city for another two months and launched several fierce attacks in succession. The soldiers of Wei were exhausted both physically and mentally.
Wang Jian said earnestly: "The Duan family is capricious and cannot be trusted. Yanzhou is your Majesty's only ally and cannot be abandoned."
Ran Min was speechless.
At this time, the bodyguard hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the rear recently that Duan Gong and Li Yue are conspiring to take Ye City!"
"Hmph!" Ran Min stood up as he slapped the case, his face turning red rapidly, "How dare you do this, thief!"
At this moment, he has still not recovered from the defeat of Xiangguo.
He was always in a state of panic and nervousness, so when Wang Tai rejected him, he did not hesitate to get rid of the only person who threatened him in Yecheng.
Using oneself to save others, if Ran Min were in Li Yue's position, the first reaction in his mind would be to capture Yecheng without hesitation.
And Ran Min has always done this all the way to today.
"Where did the news come from?" Wang Jian said calmly.
The guard said: "The scout learned from the refugees..."
Wang Jian smiled and said, "How could the refugees know about such a big event? If Duan Gong really made peace with Li Yue, he would keep it secret. How could it be made known to everyone? This must be Duan Gong's countermeasure."
The blush on Ran Min's face faded, and he took two steps, "Even so, we must be on guard. Yedu is my foundation, and it is difficult to defeat it day and night. Now Liu Xian is ready to make a move. He will attack me soon. Send the order, be sure." Duan Kong, please surrender!"
Yecheng was still in a weak state, and Liu Xian was forced into desperation before agreeing to surrender.
Now that I have calmed down, I will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
However, the distance between Yecheng and Xiangguo is so close that both sides can step into each other's territory as soon as they stretch out their feet.
In addition to Liu Xian, Shi Kun, a remnant of Jie Zhao, is still wandering in Jizhou and is a threat to Yecheng.
Wang Jian coughed violently, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Ran Min waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, just give half of Li Yue's livestock to Li Yue. He is willing to fight, as he wishes. This war started because of him. I will send troops to attack Fangtou for two months, which is enough."
The 300,000 shi of grain promised by Yanzhou has been delivered to Yecheng one after another in the past two months.
The famine in the city was temporarily alleviated.
Ran Min did whatever he thought of. After Duan Kong's first batch of cattle, sheep, and grain arrived, he immediately ordered his troops to retreat.
At this time, Li Yue's letter had just arrived, and Ran Min crumpled it into a ball after scanning it for a few times.
The military order has been issued and Duan Kwan's things have been collected. It is impossible to fight again...
Li Yue never expected this result.
Ran Min retreated, the pressure on Fangtou was greatly reduced, and the pressure on Heiyun Army increased sharply.
Duan Gong's alienation plan was basically successful, and the Xianbei cavalry was already looming in the southwest.
Since ancient times, the coalition forces have been prone to mischief.
With inconsistent interests and different thoughts, it is difficult to work together as one.
"Are you trying to kill a bird? Fangtou threatens Yecheng, and it's not Yanzhou. If he leaves, we will leave too!" Wei Shan said angrily.
"Duan Gong's strength has not been damaged. Even if our army captured Fangtou, we would still suffer heavy losses." Chang Wei's face was full of disappointment. He was the one who proposed to join forces with Ran Min to attack Duan Gong. Now that the plan failed, his face was full of disappointment. No light.
Li Yue wouldn't blame him, the problem lies with Ran Min.
"The Black Cloud Army will not retreat!" Li Yue said solemnly.
Wei Shan said: "Why stand up for Ran Min?"
"It's not to stand up for him, but as soon as our army retreats, Duan Gong will take a breath, and it will become a climate. Fangtou is an important town on the Yellow River, with Yecheng behind him. When Wei is overthrown, Duan Gong will be the first to do so. Let's take Yecheng!" Li Yue said what he was thinking.
Those who do not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for one area.
Ran Wei will definitely perish, there is no way to change this, the character of the monarch determines the fate of the country.
In the battle of Xiangguo, Ran Wei was actually over, and he was no longer qualified to compete with the Murong clan. The rest was just a return to the past.
