Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1341
The aftermath and turmoil caused by the chaos in Xiangguo was a bit more violent than Shen Yun had imagined, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it directly started the real downfall of Jieguo.

The morals of the world are like chess, everyone is a pawn, but people in the current situation may not be able to make correct judgments and responses at that time due to various reasons.In particular, some people, either based on character or situation, in order to avoid the fate of being rapped out, had to make clumsy responses that were far from brilliant at the time or later.

In fact, as early as the second day after the Fenwu army left Xiangguo, the reinforcements from Xindu had arrived in Xiangguo day and night, and a total of [-] cavalry came rushing aggressively. Having lived in the city for a long time, he still attaches great importance to the capital of Xiangguo.

The arrival of reinforcements to Xiangguo is the rain of long drought for Xiangguo, which has just experienced a disaster, but in fact, the individual planners in Xiangguo do not welcome the arrival of reinforcements.

First of all, the biggest reason for the disaster in Xiangguo this time is not the intrusion of foreign enemies.After the Jin army withdrew from the territory, all kinds of chaos in the city lacked support, and it had gradually returned to stability.

Secondly, although Xiangguo's current situation is embarrassing and fragile, there are still some people who hope to achieve certain specific intentions through this, and they are not too happy to be disrupted by a sudden powerful force, even if this force It comes from the master Shihu.

Therefore, although the reinforcements arrived in a timely manner, they did not receive the cooperation and support from Xiangguo Yubao in the first place. They could only temporarily settle in the unfinished Shan Yu, which was presided over by Prince Shi Sui in the north of the city. Taiwan, and did not launch the pursuit of the Jin army in the first place.

Among them, Prince Shi Sui was the most resistant to the arrival of reinforcements.After the accident, Shi Sui stubbornly believed that the chaos in Xiangguo was purely caused by Pingyuan Gong Shixuan's framing of him, and he didn't think these reinforcements would have any kindness towards him, especially after Shi Xuanxian's letter was delivered. , The information provided is biased.

After repeated blows, Shi Sui no longer had the power to control the situation in Xiangguo. The Donggong warriors who could rely on him were all killed and injured, and those miscellaneous bearded men who patted their chests and expressed their willingness to go through fire and water for the prince at the banquet in the past, After this, the original shape is revealed, so it cannot be believed.

On the surface, the Queen of Heaven, Zheng, has become a pivotal figure who maintains the people from all walks of life in the city. Although Zheng's private resentment towards this evil son is extreme, she is also closely related to the prince to a certain extent, but everyone still One or two may be able to save a little bit, and they are willing to work hard for it.

As for the newly appointed Xiangcheng Gongshi Shegui and others who were appointed to the important task of city defense, to be honest, after they were activated, they did not show the demeanor of calming down the chaos and turning the tide.In order to obtain more rewards, they naturally did not want the reinforcements to enter the city prematurely to gain insight into the whole story. While doing some delays, they were trying their best to remove the remnants that were not good for them.

Originally, the arrival of the reinforcements in Xindu should be a sharp knife hanging over the heads of the Jin troops who violated the border, but in the end, these nobles of the Jie Kingdom who stayed in Xiangguo regarded them as making things difficult for themselves and delayed them. The Jin army on the way to the south provided great help.

Of course, the reinforcements came on behalf of the will of the lord, Shihu. The appeals of the people in Xiangguo, including Queen Zheng, can be ignored, and they can completely throw off the people of Xiangguo and chase the enemy lightly.

However, due to the lack of cooperation of the people in Xiangguo, the two sides could not communicate with each other in the most basic aspects of intelligence.And the two sides have their own differences in the reports they have mastered.

What the people in Xiangguo have learned so far is only limited to this realm, while Xindu has a wider source of information, especially Pingyuan Gongshixuan, the forward general who has been using troops in Henan. Returning to the country from exile in southern Hebei naturally brought back the news of the defeat and loss in the southern Hebei battlefield.

Because of this, Shi Hu, the host of Jie in Xindu, at least paid more attention to the changes in the battle situation in southern Hebei than to the crisis in Xiangguo before dispatching reinforcements.After all, it was Shi Xuan's plan to lure the Jin army's pursuers to Xiangguo, and it is impossible for him to explain too much here.

What's more, perhaps even Shi Xuan could not have imagined that the Jin army's chasing troops, which were not considered sufficient, could bring such great harm to Xiangguo.Of course, even if Shi Xuan had the foresight, he would not dare to say more about it.

Therefore, the main purpose of the arrival of the five thousand fresh troops from the Jie Kingdom is not to reinforce the Xiang Kingdom. The order they received was to chase down the troops of the Jin army who violated the border, and also to support the counties and counties in the south, so as to prepare for the departure of the army in the future. Foreshadowing.

However, when the reinforcements arrived in Xiangguo, they were stunned to see the miserable state of Xiangguo. Before they knew more about the inside story, they did not dare to rush after the Jin army's judgment on the strength of the invasion.After all, the Jin army had achieved such a great victory in southern Hebei before, who can say for sure how many troops they really sent to the heart of Hebei?
Of course, if it is only for these reasons, the reinforcements on this route were dispatched from the south by the lord Shang Shihu. In the face of the resistance and non-cooperation of the people of Xiangguo, he would never make false claims and preside over it directly with a tough attitude. The situation in Xiangguo is the most appropriate.

Among them, Boling Gongshi Zunbian played a very crucial role.Not long after the reinforcements arrived outside the city of Xiangguo, the nobles and elders in the city of Xiangguo, including the prince Shi Sui, all gathered in the Queen's Palace.

At this moment, Prince Shi Sui is the most terrified. He has lost his mind and has already fallen into a bit of madness. Before that, because of the direct threat of the Jin army in the city, he had no time to think about the future. However, as the city gradually returned to stability, The harm that Xiangguo suffered this time is also more clearly presented in front of his eyes, Shi Sui is naturally full of fear and fear.

"I am the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, and I am the Second Crown Prince of the State. Since the Lord is not here, I am the highest in the country. Since the reinforcements arrive, they will also be under my supervision..."

Shi Sui just muttered impatiently and anxiously, but when it came to how to deal with the reinforcements, he had no idea at all.The so-called reinforcements should also be supervised by him, and he himself knew that this was absolutely impossible. Instead, he needed to worry about the reinforcements or the secret order of the master, who would directly depose him, confine him, or even kill him directly.

"It's better for me to come forward and reward first."

Shi Zun saw that this domineering elder brother in the past was now in a state of despair, he felt more disdainful, stood up and said proactively, then looked at Shi Shegui and the others who were also full of sorrow and said: "Wait, gentlemen, don't be selfish at this moment. Stay, what money, food, grain and silk are available, it is really not appropriate to be stingy. If you can survive this difficult time, the honor and salary can still survive, and there will be no troubles and no future rewards."

After Shi Shegui and the others heard the words, although they looked a bit embarrassed, they also understood that Shi Zun's words were true, so they nodded one after another, and each started to talk.

Right now, Xiangguo, especially where the palace is located, is already dilapidated and unsightly. Fortunately, the ugliness after the chaos can be slightly covered up by the darkness.

Shi Zun didn't pay much attention to etiquette at the moment, he left the city a few miles away in person as a prince, and ordered his entourage to open fire, so as to wait for reinforcements early.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that it was almost dawn that the sound of the reinforcements' horseshoes sounded in the wilderness in the northwest. After another half an hour, after the scouts visited first, the generals of the reinforcements led hundreds of soldiers to go ahead. arrival.

The general Shi Hu sent to lead the reinforcements this time is also a young and brave general who has risen in Jie Kingdom in recent years, named Ran Min.Shi Zhan, the father of Ran Min, was also a brave general in the early years of the Jie Kingdom. He used to be a general of Chen Wu's beggar army.

Afterwards, the two Zhaos fought against each other, and Shi Hu was defeated in Hedong. He was chased and killed by Han Zhao Liu Yao all the way, and Shi Zhan died in this battle.Afterwards, Shi Hu took pity on his loyalty and bravery, and adopted his only son, Ran Min, into his family.

If it wasn't for Shi Zhanying's early death, and the moment when Jie Kingdom really became the overlord of Hebei and rewarded him with great rewards, otherwise, with his close relationship with Shihu and his own bravery, even if he can't compare with the begging army Tou Shikan and others, he will definitely It is also expected to be crowned king.

Ran Min was adopted by Shi Hu when he was young, and he also inherited his father's bravery and heroism. Before he reached the championship, he followed his master Shi Hu to fight, and even served in the army when Shi Hu went south to Jin.

Of course, this battle was a mess, and it was difficult for a young general, Ran Min, to perform well.However, after Shi Hu returned to the country to fight for unification, and then conquered the Hu in the north, Ran Min performed extremely bravely in all of them, until now he has become the top general under the command of Lord Jie.For example, under the current catastrophe in the south, Shi Hu was able to send Ran Min alone to lead an elite army of [-] troops to the south, which shows how much he values ​​this false grandson.

Along the way, Ran Min's department also encountered some routs from Xiangguo, but the information they learned from these routs was not comprehensive, so after seeing Shi Zun, they didn't exchange more greetings. He asked directly: "On the way, I know that all the countries are in trouble, but I don't know what the current situation is? How many thieves are there, and where are they?"

Hearing that Ran Min directly skipped the rest and only talked about military affairs, and turned a blind eye to him coming out in person in such a capacity, Shi Zun inevitably felt a little embarrassed and disappointed.

However, he didn't dare to feel any displeasure because of this, the lord already had many heirs, of course it may not be possible in the future, but even though Shi Zun was the youngest son, he had been suppressed by his elder brother Shi Sui earlier and had no sense of existence.A prince like him who only has vanity but no authority is really inferior to a general in command like Ran Min who is deeply trusted by the Lord.

"After all, the might of the Lord God can be relied on. The thieves did not dare to linger for a long time, and they hurried south long before the reinforcements arrived. Right now, all the armies in the city are still chasing and suppressing, so there is no serious danger."

Shi Zun said a few words lightly, then took a step forward to hold Ran Min, and said in a friendly way: "No matter what you say, it is a humiliation for the country to be harassed by the enemy, and we and the people who stayed behind cannot escape the blame. I am still nervous Who will the lord send back to help? I am afraid of being humiliated by others. I am relieved to know that it is the strong son of my family, Ji Nu, who leads the troops. This autumn is full of events, and at this time, after all, my family can rely on me more. "

Ran Min grew up in the lord's house since he was young, so he was no stranger to the lord's disciples, but he didn't have a deep impression of Shi Zun. He only felt that Shi Zun was withdrawn and cowardly, and he didn't think much of him.

It's just that when we meet each other this time, we see that the other party is much calmer. He will be younger than himself next year, but it doesn't make people feel awkward to meet each other with the intimacy of an elder.Although he didn't care much about the prince in his heart, he didn't need to completely disregard the other party's goodwill, so he dismounted when Shi Zun stepped forward to help the rein, and clasped his fists in salute.

　It's difficult to write about Ran Min as a controversial person, but he can't avoid it at this point. . .It's been a long time since there was a problem with the creation of a character, and there may not be many updates about the plot in the past two days, so please forgive me. . .
