The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 80 The Leakage of Things Finally Leaked Shi Jian Failed to Kill Ran Min
At this time, at fifty places north of Anle City, a person galloped in front of him. It was Gao Bi who was investigating the military situation. Wide open, the defenders abandon the city and cannot escape, I will march in quickly."

Murong Ba was riding on the horse, holding the rein with one hand, pointing straight ahead with the whip with the other, and said with a smile: "Haha, Deng Heng rat, I have fought against him many times, it seems that he was scared away by my reputation."

One soldier who joined the army complimented: "The general's reputation spreads far and wide in Youping, and the generals of Zhao Guo are timid before fighting. Isn't it just a bag for us to follow the general to make contributions and careers?"

Murong Ba inadvertently showed a complacent expression.

Sun Yongjin, the captain of Tuhe South who was accompanying him, said: "General, soldiers are tricky. Now that Anle's defenders are leaving without a fight, there must be something tricky. This Anle is a fortress of Zhao, with a lot of food and grass. How could it be easy to change hands? General, be more careful."

One of the Murong Ba Jing's reminders made me feel frivolous just now, "'Soldiers, important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be observed." , Bleeding and drifting, I was frivolous, I must remember."

While talking, the scouts from the front came to report, "General, in Anle City, the flames are burning into the sky, and thick smoke is billowing."

Everyone looked forward, and saw the thick smoke gradually rising from Anle City from fifty miles away, and they were very suspicious.

Sun Yong said anxiously: "No, Deng Heng is really cunning. The supplies in Anle City are piled up like a mountain. He is trying to fortify the wall and clear the country, so that our Yan army cannot get supplies in Youzhou."

"Oh, it's a pity." Murong Ba also sighed: "'Those who are good at using soldiers will no longer serve, and the food will not last for three years. They will be used for the country. Because the food is from the enemy, the army can have enough food." Although the country is rich in grain and grass, if our army goes south, if the grain and grass are all transferred from the country, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. There is an old saying: "There is no grain transported for thousands of miles." Murong Ba turned to Sun Yong and said, "Trouble Captain Sun, hurry up Order our army forward to reach Anle, and must put out the fire."

Sun Yong patted the horse forward, leading the forward sergeant to Anle in a hurry.

Yan State's army slowly passed through the border of Yan and Zhao. Yan Lord Murong Jun was overjoyed when he learned that Murong Ba was in peace and the flag was triumphant.But seeing that the night is deep now, he ordered people to set up camp in the middle of the road.

In the big tent, the plan for marching tomorrow has been properly arranged, and all the generals will return to their own tents.

At this time, in Murong Ping's camp, a person was in a hurry, waiting in the tent, suddenly a person came in from outside the tent, and a person only took off his burqa, revealing his figure.The man smiled and bowed in greeting: "Oh, it's Song Gai, Mr. Song, don't come here without any problems."

Song Gai didn't return the salute, but said: "You Shizhao will perish soon, and you will be arrested before you put your hands up."

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. This is a small gift from my master to your general."

He took out a luminous pearl from his bosom, and the whole tent was shining brightly, Song Gai couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Seeing this, the man knew that the matter was more than half done, so he said: "General, the world is changing now, everyone should leave a way out, right? The three cars outside the big tent are the former General Murong Ping at the Yanzhao border. The confiscated goods, to show my sincerity, my lord has returned them to Yan, and I hope I can make friends with your general."

The man took out another heavy gold cake, stuffed it into Song Gai's arms secretly, and only leaned closer and said, "I know your general is outside the tent. I don't care about that. I hope you can accept it." Song Gai was only greedy. Holding the gold cake in his arms, he only said, "It's easy to talk about."

"Now my country of Zhao is rich all over the world. Although the current government is chaotic, there are many treasures accumulated in the treasuries of various places. The general moves with the Chinese army, and he is not a forward. I mean, before the city breaks down, hand it over to your general, wouldn't it be nice to have one thing and two conveniences?"

Seeing that Song Gai remained silent, the man laughed and said: "Look, Murong Ba entered the peace first, our army has no choice but to burn it all. If the general comes here, he will seal the treasury and deliver it."

Song Gai also echoed, "Exactly, exactly. It's a pity that they are all the savings of the common people. That being the case, if our army takes any action in the future, we must communicate with you first." As he spoke, he handed over a waist card and handed it to The man said, "If you have important matters in the future, you can go to our Yan army camp with this token."

"Thank you." The man left the big tent with a smile.

As soon as the man stepped out of the big tent, Murong Ping came over, holding the luminous pearl and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said while watching: "My army of Yan State will wipe out Zhao State in a few days, if you are smart, you can fight with us." cooperate."

Song Gai also heaped his flattering smile and said: "The general is in charge of the state affairs, and a country depends on it. This is also to save the people from fighting."

"Haha, that's true," Murong Ping suddenly asked, "How much is Anle left from burning food this time?"

"According to the report of forward Murong Bajun, there are only two or three hundred hu left."

Murong Ping was startled, "There are so few, Anle is a place where Zhao Jun has a lot of food, it's a pity that there is so much food and grass." In an instant, he said to himself, "It would be great if it entered my hub, haha."

At this time, after the great chaos in Ye City, Ran Min was already extremely powerful and no one could control him.Among the generals who fought against the Liang Du Rebellion back then, Ran Min had suddenly emerged, causing others to stare at him.Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong, Duan Qin and others fled to Yecheng one after another.All the officials in Yecheng were panicked.

On this day, in the inner court of Ye City, Ran Min was not as aggressive as the palace officials, so he confronted the saint directly and said, "Your Majesty, the hearts of the people in Ye City are fluctuating, and the soldiers of all ethnic groups are in panic. I implore your majesty to issue an order: order to flee." Those who have returned will all be returned to their original positions, and those who fail to return within the time limit will be punished by their wives, friends, relatives and children.”

Shi Jian had just enjoyed a parade and was listening to the voiceless voice of the main palace. When he saw Ran Min coming, he hurriedly told the musicians to go down, and then said: "General Shi, this is not in line with human ethics, and the crime is not as good as relatives and friends."

Ran Min slightly bowed, "Your Majesty, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart, and we should guard against it. The former minister said to Shi Zun, "Pu Hong is an outstanding man; with Pu Hong guarding Guanzhong, I am afraid that the land of Qin and Yong will not belong to the country." "Although the late emperor Shihu was ordered to die, your majesty should change the plan. Shi Zun listened to my words and dismissed Puhong from his position as governor, and stayed at home. Now that Yecheng is in turmoil, this person has fled and went to Fang. Head, I am entangled with the intention of returning to Guanzhong in the west to stand on my own. If Your Majesty does not stop restraining me, I am afraid that within the four borders of our Zhao Kingdom, Your Majesty will have no soldiers or generals to dispatch."

Shi Jian pondered for a while, and said: "This matter involves a lot, let me think about it for a while."

"Your Majesty, not only Pu Hong, but also Yao Yizhong, Duan Qin and others have all left for Yecheng to separate one side in order to stand on their own. Your Majesty should make a quick decision."

Suddenly a sergeant trotted over and whispered something in Ran Min's ear.Ran Min was shocked, and said to Shi Jian: "As I expected, Pu Jian, the son of Pu Hong, also captured the pass. Now he has fled Yecheng and is only going to Fangtou."

Shi Jian slightly supported his forehead, only pretending to be tired, "General Shi, I've been a little tired recently. I'll take a little rest, and discuss the rest."

"Your Majesty!" Ran Min was in a hurry, "I still have something to report, Yan Guo in the north is about to..."

Speaking of which, Ran Min was about to pounce on Shi Jian's throne, if the servants did not stop him, he would hold Shi Jian's sleeve.

Shi Jian didn't listen to what he said, got up and left the table on his own.Just after leaving the main hall and walking on the corridor, Shi Jian's expression changed instantly.

"Bah, good luck, Ran Min." I saw that Shi Jian was in good spirits.

"Let me kill the relatives and heirs of those important ministers, I am really a loner, I can only listen to your orders." Shi Jian glanced at Yang Huan, and said: "Do you think I should first calm the internal troubles, or the foreign troubles first? "

Yang Huan was very embarrassed, so he bent down and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this country of Zhao belongs to His Majesty, and the whole country will follow His Majesty's will."

While walking, Shi Bao, Shi Jian's younger brother, Leping Wang, was already waiting at the end of the corridor. Seeing Shi Jian approaching, he stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the person you want is here."

Shi Jian glanced at Yang Huan who was beside him. Yang Huan knew what was going on, so he resigned.

Shi Jian followed Shi Bao to a side hall in the palace. It was dark and few people knew about it.

Shi Jian walked into the hall and ordered the door to be closed quickly, Shi Jian bowed to the two men and said: "You two strong men, I have no choice but to do this." After speaking, he intended to kneel down.

The two hurriedly returned the salute: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. The two of us should risk our lives and assassinate Ran Min. I only hope that Your Majesty can take care of our wives and children."

Shi Jian held the hands of the two men tightly, and said: "After the matter is completed, I will definitely live up to the two of you."

In the middle of the night, in the General's Mansion in Yecheng, Ran Min was discussing with the generals in the army to deal with the Yan army's southward invasion strategy.At this time, the doorman of the mansion reported: "General, there is an envoy from the palace, saying that His Majesty called the general into the palace to discuss countermeasures."

A person next to him asked: "The starry night is here, who else will enter the palace with the general?"

The doorman replied, "I heard from the emissary that the military situation is urgent, and His Majesty asked Da Sima Li Nong to enter the palace together to discuss important matters."

Ran Min smiled at the crowd: "It seems that my advice to His Majesty earlier today is still useful. Shi Jian is arrogant, without my Han begging army, how can his throne be stable."

After speaking, Ran Min wanted to change his clothes, so he came to the palace with his envoys.

Zhang Ai, a general in the mansion, said: "General, in Ye City, all the barbarians are all looking sideways at the general. I fear that the general will enter the palace at this time, and there will be unexpected accidents."

But Ran Min didn't take it seriously and said: "Son Shi Jian, how could he ascend to the throne without our strong recommendation? Besides, there are all my soldiers and horses in the palace, don't worry too much."

Jiang Gan also persuaded: "'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'. Now the general enters the palace alone, just like swimming in the shallows of a dragon, unable to advance or retreat. I ask the general to send suspicious soldiers and enter from the side door, thinking that it is safe."

Ran Min always disdained this kind of petty behavior, he just said quietly: "This shows cowardice, how can it be done by a real man."

Jiang Gan was in a hurry, "The first emperor was on a tour, and he prepared several cars to suspect others, so that he could escape from Bolangsha by chance. Today, the general has a high position and authority, so he should take care of himself first, and a man should do something and not do something. .”

Shi Yin also said in a hurry: "Father, in Yecheng today, all the Hus have come out to Yecheng. I heard that the leading generals of the Zhao Kingdom, such as Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong, Duan Qin, etc., secretly colluded. Some clans of the Shi clan gathered in Xiangguo with the intention of counterattacking Yecheng, and the minister feared that there would be traitors in Yecheng, thinking that it would be an internal response."

Seeing that everyone's opinion was the same, Ran Min also thought in his heart that he should not rely on himself in vain.

"That being the case, prepare according to your wishes."

"Come here, tell the envoy, just say that I can go, please wait a moment for my emperor."

Shi Jian was still fidgeting in an inner room of the imperial city. At this moment, he had no soldiers and no power in his hands.Just because his throne was established by Ran Min, so he was in awe of Ran Min.

As the night was getting dark, Shi Jian asked the left and right, "Is Leping Wang Shibao here?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there is no trace of King Leping."

Shi Jian sat down and hastily picked up the classics, then put them down again. As the incident approached, Shi Jian became more and more flustered.

"Report to Your Majesty, King Leping is here."

"Quick, quick call"

"Your Majesty, minister, Shi Bao is here to see you."

Shi Jian gestured to the left and right to step back, and at this time there was only Shi Bao in the room.At this time, Shi Bao said angrily: "Your Majesty, now is the time for major events. I still have some places that have not been properly arranged. If you call me so urgently, I am afraid that the event will be ruined."

Shi Jian was not discouraged, he just said: "Brother Bao, I'm not in a hurry. You said that this time I'm sure, but I heard that Ran Min has the courage to make a double-edged spear invincible .”

"Your Majesty, as long as he enters this Ye Palace, he will not be left alone. Your Majesty's ministers will leave first, and there are still a few places that have not been properly arranged. Wait until the three drums in the palace are finished, and then return to order after capturing Ran Min."

"Brother Bao..." Before Shi Jian could finish speaking, Shi Bao just went out.

"Ran Min, Ran Min," Shi Jian muttered to himself while wandering in the room, suddenly he looked solemn, and laughed again, "Ran Min, there will be no more Ran Min in the world after tonight."

At this time, the servant Yang Huan entered the room, and Shi Jian was shocked when he heard Shi Jian's words. Destroy their relatives and party members."

At this time, Ran Min was waiting on the royal road outside the palace, this is the place where Da Sima Li Nong must pass.Li Nong was passing by in a car, Ran Min signaled Li Nong to stop the car, Li Nong leaned out to look around, and saw Ran Min standing in the middle of the road, he was puzzled, so he asked to get in the car together.

Li Nong asked: "I heard from the disciples that the general has entered the palace first, why is he here?"

Ran Min replied: "It's not the people from the bottom persuading me. Now that you and I are powerful, I'm worried that something bad will happen."

Li Nong replied: "Since the founding of Jie Zhao, the Han people have never had such a high position as a general. Now the Hu and Han forces are almost like fire and water. You and I must take more precautions."

While the two were talking, they only heard the drum beating loudly in the palace, three loud beeps, and Ran Min became very suspicious.After a while, one of Ran Min's guards, covered in blood, rushed over on flying horse.Leaning down outside the car, he said: "General, the person who pretended to be a general was in a chasing car, and when he entered the palace, he was shot and killed at the Xizhong Gate. Someone in the palace wanted to murder the general."

Li Nong and Ran Min were shocked by the interrogation, Ran Min regained his composure, and told the man, "Quickly tune the guards in the mansion, and come into the palace with me."

In the palace, Shi Jian heard the sound of the three-way drum outside, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Yang Huan, "Yang Huan, on behalf of you, I will send a decree as soon as possible to destroy Ran Min."

"Obey." Yang Huan wanted to get up and go out.

Only at this time, Shi Bao rushed over, before entering the door, he only shouted: "Your Majesty, quickly escape."

Shi Jian was shocked, "But, why, could it be..."

Shi Bao said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, a hundred secrets are kept together, and a hundred secrets are given away. Ran Min is cunning, this time he even ordered others to wear his armor and hold his weapons. Wait, we didn't kill Ran Min."

"Ah!" Shi Jian slumped on the ground weakly, what should I do, what should I do? "

While the two were talking, Yang Huan had quietly left.

"Huh, huh, huh" outside the imperial palace, Ran Min has led his troops to surround the imperial palace of Ye City, sealing off the inner and outer palaces.

"Reporting to the general, one person will be captured at the end. This person behaves suspiciously, so I come here to report to the general."

Ran Min motioned to take that person with him.

I saw the man was tied with a rope, his body twisted, and he couldn't help shouting.

Under the light of the fire, Ran Min saw that the person looked very familiar, walked in and saw that it was Yang Huan.

Ran Min smiled and said, "Boss Yang is safe and well, why did we meet here?" Ran Min signaled to untie the left and right sides.

The rope that restrained Yang Huan had just been cut, Yang Huan walked quickly to the side of Ran Min, "It's a blessing that this servant has to meet General Shi, this old slave is willing to serve the general like a dog."

Ran Min turned his face and scolded angrily: "This general helped Zhao Guo, and supported Shi Jian to ascend the throne. How could Your Majesty treat me like this?" You didn't come up with it."

Hearing this, Yang Huan replied: "General, listen to me. Your Majesty has always been timid. The killing of the general was not done by Shi Jian, but by Shi Bao, the king of Leping, Li Song, the order of Zhongshu, and Zhang Cai, the general in the palace. "

Ran Min's subordinates put a knife on Yang Huan's neck, and angrily said: "Xiao Shu, when you are about to die, you open your majesty's eyes, without Shi Jian's consent, how dare the three of them do such a thing. "

"General, this is the end of the matter, let's believe it for the time being. The servant girl learned that the remnants of these three people still occupy the Kunhua Palace, intending to resist stubbornly, but at this time, they should be wiped out quickly, so as not to cause future troubles forever."

In the inner room, Shi Bao, Li Song, and Zhang Cai intended to hold Shi Jian out of the stable door, Shi Bao said anxiously: "Your Majesty, now Ran Min is only a few palaces away from the Kekunhua Palace, Your Majesty, hurry up!" Get out of the palace quickly."

Shi Jian went to the inner room to change clothes, and was about to change into commoner attire to leave the palace. At this moment, Yang Huan quietly entered through the side door.

Seeing this, Shi Jian couldn't help saying angrily: "Boss Yang, you still dare to come, but now my tree is down and monkeys are scattered, you and I will each find a way out."

Shi Jian was ready to change clothes under the service of the servant, but Yang Huan still stood aside, calm and neither in a hurry nor annoyed.Shi Jian said suspiciously: "Boss Yang, Ran Min is about to attack this place, if he catches him, how can he let him off lightly, there is a secret passage under the Tongque stage, so follow me and run for your life."

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, God's will has been ominous to kill the Son of Heaven. The powerful ministers only want to be in command of the world. If you kill the Son of Heaven without authorization, you may be criticized by the ministers." Yang Huan approached and said, now that all the city of Ye is under the hands of Ran Min, how can His Majesty Where are you going, the maidservant came back from Ran Min..." Before he could finish speaking, Shi Jian glared angrily.

Yang Huan said calmly as before: "The servants came from Ran Min and said that His Majesty was deceived by traitors and never harmed Ran Min's heart. Now His Majesty has come to his senses and regrets that the three of them used His Majesty's edict without permission, which caused the monarchs and ministers to panic." There's a rift."

While listening to Yang Huan's words, Shi Jian paced in the inner room.

Seeing this, Yang Huan already expected that half of the plan would be successful, so he boldly said: "Your Majesty, it is better to have the three of them rectify the law on the spot, so as to put Shimin's heart at ease, the disaster will be solved."

Hearing this, Shi Jian suddenly stopped in his tracks, and after a long time he said slowly: "Director Yang's words can be said to be heartbreaking, and these three people are loyal people, sweeping out treacherous people. Now, now they are going to replace me. Suffered."

"Haha" Hearing this, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If these three heads can be exchanged for the peace of your majesty's emperor, you will be supremely loyal. Han Zhichao made a mistake For the matter, Emperor Jing is the heart of King An Wu, punish them and sacrifice them, if they can die and change the throne of peace, they will be loyal."

The shouts of killing outside the gate gradually overwhelmed him, the servant hurried over and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, the bandits are right outside the gate of the palace, flee quickly."

Yang Huan was in a hurry: "Your Majesty, now that Shi Zhi is in Xiangguo to make an appointment with the generals Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong, etc., the only person His Majesty can rely on is Ran Min. Your Majesty, time does not wait for me."

Shi Jian had no choice but to turn his back and wave a big hand. Yang Huan still understood in his heart, and led the guards out of the palace, only to kill Shi Bao, Li Song and Zhang Cai.

"Bang..." The palace gate was finally knocked open by Ran Min's subordinates.
