The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 86: Knowing the Secret Way

Gradually the dust dissipated, and the people who came came gradually became clearer. I saw the word "King" vaguely written on the big flag. Looking again, the armored figures were indeed the appearance of the Han army.

The Han begging army came here on snow.

"It's too late in the future, and I hope the general will make amends." It turned out to be Wang Jian and Wang Yu from the Ranmin Mansion, and they both knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"It's good if you come," Ran Min said with a smile, suddenly he couldn't support himself, and staggered, and everyone rushed to help him.Ran Min only paused for a while, waved his hands, stood up, and then turned his face and said sharply, "The Jie soldiers today have evil intentions and want to destroy our Han people. There is no balance between Hu and Han. If we don't kill those Jie soldiers today, there will be no Han people." Tomorrow, everyone will follow me and kill back."

At this time, in the alleyway inside Dongye Gate, Shi Cheng, Shi Qi, and Shi Hui inspected the scene, they only lamented repeatedly, after planning for many days, they still let Ran Min escape.

Suddenly a sergeant came and reported: "My lords, I climbed the tower and looked out. I saw a large army of begging troops outside Yecheng, heading straight for the Fengyang gate of the palace."

Shi Qi shouted: "Quickly, move to Fengyang Gate."

At this time, Sun Fudu and Liu Zhu, generals of Longxiang, knew that Ran Min was not dead, and were very anxious. They led their followers to Fengyang Gate and sent only a small number of troops and horses to guard Shi Jian.

Now in Zhongtai, when the maidservants heard the news that Ran Min was not dead, they were afraid of being implicated and would just act like birds and beasts, with no one around them. Since the beginning of the work, Shi Jian hadn't had any water.Shi Jian was pampered, how could he endure such hardships, he just begged those soldiers to give him honey water to drink.

"Honey water, do you want to take a sip of my handsome footwashing water?" A sergeant taunted him, Shi Jian's face turned red, but he couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty, here." Suddenly a familiar voice sounded, it turned out to be Yang Huan, Shi Jian saw that he was like an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time, so he just cried: "Boss Yang, now that something has happened, I know that you, Yang Huan, will finally live up to me. "

Yang Huan wanted to escape, but now the whole city is in chaos, the Hu people and the Han people outside are fighting together, and there are broken limbs and hands everywhere in the city.Now Ran Min sent a large army back to the city, looking at Ye City, the palace is the safest.

Yang Huan only followed Shi Jian's meaning and said: "Your Majesty treats this old slave well, how can this old slave have the heart to abandon His Majesty and run for his life."

At this time, Ran Min had already reorganized his army and gathered the guards around Yecheng and the city to form an advance force to attack the imperial city again.At this time, Fengyangmen, the main gate of the imperial city, had been occupied by Jie soldiers in advance, arrows rained down from it, and many of Ran Min's men were damaged.

Someone advised: "General, the enemy army is living in a tall building, and our army is trapped under the fortified city. As time goes by, we may change."

Ran Min only looked at the city wall, and said decisively: "Now the leader of the bandits is within the imperial city, our Han army has overcome all difficulties, how can we be stopped by this city tower?"

"Come here, come here quickly." While speaking, there was a commotion outside the tent.

It turned out that a sergeant down there caught a sneaky man.I saw that the man was wearing a sergeant's uniform on the outside, but a brocade robe on the inside, with a fair complexion, he didn't look like a member of the army.Ran Min looked back, but he recognized him as a servant in the palace.

Ran Min stretched out his hand and pointed, "Come on, order him to come over."

The servant shouted wildly, "I want to see General Ran Min, who is General Ran Min?"

Ran Min said lightly, "I'm right, what are you doing?"

The servant hurriedly knelt down, kept kowtow, and said: "General, please forgive me. I was entrusted to find a way out, and I hope the general will let me live."

"Who entrusted you?"

The servant raised his head and said, "Director, Yang Huan."

At this time, a guard beside Ran Min stepped forward to persuade him: "General, this person is acting suspiciously and sneakily. He is not a good person at first glance. Let the last general punish him."

"Wait a minute."

Ran Min suddenly became interested, stared at him carefully for a long time, and asked: "You said Yang Huan wanted to escape."

"Exactly."

However, Ran Min was suspicious, and asked angrily: "The imperial palace in Yecheng is now controlled by Jie clan soldiers, and the palace is strictly guarded. How can you escape?"

"General, I know a place where the waterways meet and it's close to the courtyard. Usually, no adults go there. Now the defense is weak and there are not many soldiers. Where did the servants come from?"

"where is it?"

"Outside Changming Ditch, Jinming Gate."

"Ding Ding Kuang Kuang", "Qiang Qiang" and "Hiss" the sergeants outside have been beheaded.

Under the Bronze Sparrow Stage, the sound of clashing swords has gradually subsided.

"Da da" a large group of begging army sergeants are walking towards Tongque Terrace with vigorous steps.

"Quickly, close the palace gate." Hearing this commotion, Shi Jian became anxious.

"Open the gate of the palace to welcome Ran Min." Yang Huan snapped.

"You..." Shi Jian pointed at him.

Yang Huan was calm, "Your Majesty, even if three thousand Jie soldiers could not stop Ran Min, what can His Majesty rely on now that the gate of the palace is closed? Now that Ran Min burned down the Jinming Gate, there is no one in Ye Palace who can do it. How about, It’s better to be like the story of Wang Shibao in Leping last time.”

Shi Jian said furiously: "Yang Huan, you, you are extremely shameless..."

"Dogs still wag their tails in order to survive. In today's chaotic world, human life is as cheap as a humble dog, so let's just save it." Seeing that Shi Jian was silent, Yang Huan ordered everyone to say, "Clean up the palace to welcome Ran Min."

The attendants and maidservants in the palace looked at each other, seeing that Shi Jian was silent and seeing that there was a way out, they gradually became alive again.

Finally, Ran Min dragged his battle armor and led the Master of Hundred Fighters behind him to the Bronze Sparrow Terrace.

Before Ran Min entered the hall, Shi Jian went up to greet him personally, and said: "I heard that General Long Xiang, Sun Fudu and others gathered a crowd to rebel and endanger the country. Fortunately, you came to rescue me. You should ask for it quickly."

Hearing this, Ran Min pushed Shi Jian away, walked to the side of the dragon chair, held the handle of the dragon chair with one hand, and said to himself: "It's a pity that this seat is here."

Seeing his actions, Shi Jian ignored his prestige and hurriedly said: "The general wants to take this seat, I, I, I should abdicate to let the virtuous."

"Haha" Ran Min laughed, "Your Majesty, it's okay to sit down, I can take it myself."

Said to stop, left and right Haosheng took care of Shi Jian and the people in the palace, he and Li Nong led the begging army, and turned to meet the surviving Jie soldiers in the palace.

Walking down the Tongque Terrace, a sergeant hurried forward and said: "General, we have found out now that the remnants of the Jie clan are still hiding in the Kunhua Hall, so I should attack quickly."

Ran Min held his own double-edged spear and slapped his precious horse: Zhu Long.

The dawn dawned in the sky, and the fierce battle of the night was about to come to an end. The blood-stained clothes and the Zhulong horse under his crotch were extremely red under the morning light, and it was clearly Yama.

"All the soldiers follow me and kill all the barbarians."

"Kill, kill, kill." The shouts shook the sky.

In the Kunhua Hall, the Jie soldiers who resisted at the last corner were wiped out. Shi Qi, Shi Cheng, and Shi Hui couldn't bear the humiliation and set themselves on fire. When Longxiang Generals Sun Fudu and Liu Zhu broke through, they were shot and killed by Sergeant Ran Min, and they turned into hedgehogs.There were corpses all over the Kunhua Hall.It is known that the Jie soldiers are at the last moment, none of them surrendered, and all of them fought at the last moment.

It was already broad daylight, and Ye Palace was surrounded by a sea of ​​blood. Ran Min sat withered in the Kunhua Hall, his armor and weapons were soaked in blood.

A sergeant stepped forward, hesitated for a while, and said to Ran Min: "General, there is something strange in the rear."

Ran Min straightened his body and said: "What's different in Ye Palace now?" Seeing the trembling hands of the sergeant, Ran Min suddenly felt amused.

The sergeant just fell on the ground and cried out: "General, the Jie people have been harboring evil intentions for a few days, and I hope the general will be the master of our Han army."

Ran Min was only suspicious, even though the sergeant entered the back of the palace, the strong bloody smell only made his scalp numb, he opened the door, and in the palace where the Jie people last resisted, there were piles of people who were killed by the Jie people's soldiers. The corpses of the Han Chinese guards, with stumped limbs and broken arms, were scattered all over the field, and blood gradually flowed out from inside.

The sergeant who followed behind couldn't help retching, the scene was horrifying.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the Jie people killed all the Han guards I placed in order to kill me. No wonder, no wonder, there was no news from the palace this morning."

Stepping on the blood all over the ground, crows hovered in the sky, and their shrill screams were extremely bleak.

A entourage who came out with Ran Min said: "The general is extremely benevolent to the Hu people, but our race must have a different heart. The general has repeatedly respected the Shi family's succession to the throne, in exchange for the slaughter of our Han people."

Wang Jian on the side persuaded: "This time, the Jie soldiers did not act on a whim. There were many troops in the palace and in the city. If it wasn't for the desperate resistance of Ran Min's personal guards, the outcome may be unpredictable."

A man with a weathered face is a soldier who has fought with Ran Min for many years, "General, the barbarians have bullied us and the Han people for a long time. Thanks to the general, our generation can survive. If there is no general, we will all be ghosts under the sword of the barbarians."

On the palace road, Ran Min remained silent, only heading towards Fengyang Gate.

Finally, Ran Min slowly climbed up to the top of Fengyang Gate. At this time, the gunpowder smoke in Yecheng had cleared, and the snow-covered city was truly solemn, like a giant mourning hall.As a result of the chaos in the city, countless Han people died in the military chaos.

On the city wall, Ran Min leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, holding the double-edged spear tightly, the blood soaked the tip of the blade with a cold light, and said: "An order is issued to the six barbarians inside and outside the city of Ye, whoever dares to wield the sword will not be pardoned!"

The sergeants on the left and right listened to the order, knowing that Ran Min was getting murderous, so he hurriedly passed the order.

Wang Yujin, the Shaofu general beside him, said, "General, what will happen to Shi Jian, the Jie clan emperor?"

Ran Min said coldly: "This Ye palace is no longer suitable for him, and the order was sent to ask Shi Jianyi to drive Yulongguan, cut off internal and external connections, and feed him."

After hearing this, Li Nong beside him hurriedly said: "Although Shi Jian belongs to the Jie family, but judging from his people, he never has the guts to conspire against him. Is this too much?"

"Too much?" Ran Min said with a smile, "I just want to humiliate the Hu people, and let those Hu people tremble forever when they see my Han soldiers."

Li Nong couldn't bear it, "There are some useful people among the Hu people. Kuang Shizhi, Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong, Duan Qin, etc. are all in Zhao's territory. This time the persecution is too severe and they may provoke a civil uprising among the Hu people."

"Li Sikong, Hu Han lived in the frontier fortress, if it wasn't for the Emperor Jin's innocence, how could he come to our Central Plains, and let those Hu people go back to their original places, wouldn't it be good?"

Li Nong hurriedly argued: "General, general, I mean, there are not a few generals among those Hu people. If the general can attract them, it will be like adding wings to the general's achievements."

Ran Min turned his head and stared at Li Nong for a long time, then slowly said: "Li Sikong, what's the use of being talented? I've seen that the barbarians are dissatisfied with our Han being in a high position, and they all have different ideas, so they can't have kind thoughts in their hearts."

Li Nong bowed hurriedly, intending to speak.Ran Min hurriedly interrupted him and said: "Li Sikong, if you really feel that Hu people are still available, I might as well issue a summons to see the result immediately."

On the second day, a notice was posted near the city gates of Jiankang City, Zhongyangmen, Jianchunmen and other markets in Yecheng.After a while, many people gathered before the announcement.

After the incident of the previous day, the soldiers of the Han army disarmed the soldiers of the Jie nationality. At this time, the Han people in the city became bold, and people from the suburbs and distant counties went to the city to beg for life.

"It's snowing and it's getting cold. Someone wants the old man's firewood." A Han man passing by the market carrying firewood asked when he saw people gathered in front of him, "Come on, read it to me. It's about what."

"You wait," said the elderly gentleman on the side, squinting his eyes, looking carefully: "Recently, recently, Sun and Liu Gou rebelled, and they were subjugated by the party. There is no warning for goodness. Those who agree with each other will stay, and those who are different will do what they want. The Imperial City Gate will no longer be restricted."

Everyone hurriedly heard, "What do you mean?"

"That is to say, Sun Fudu and Liu Zhu wanted to rebel against someone in the past few days. Their cronies and followers have all been killed, and none of the good people participated in the incident. From today onwards, anyone who agrees with the general will stay. Those who want to go are free to go. I order that the city gates will not be closed."

The crowd was bustling with each other, saying from left to right, "We will not rebel, this matter of being an official has nothing to do with us ordinary people."

"Yes, this Ran Min has become a general, we Han people can feel proud."

"I heard that this Ran Min is very powerful. He broke through the encirclement and wiped out three thousand Jie soldiers."

"Haha, after being bullied for so long, we are finally going to get through it."

"This time, thanks to the great general's efforts, my wife and children, my father and brother all died in this rebellion."

When everyone heard it, they couldn't help crying.

"Let's go, let's go, run away." There was a Jie man hiding in the crowd, who secretly read the notice, and felt bad.

"This is a trap. The Han people have been bullied by our generation for so long, how can they treat us lightly, and take this opportunity to leave quickly."

The strange behavior of the two barbarians was finally seen by the crowd. Suddenly, someone in the crowd said: "Everyone, come quickly, don't let those two barbarians go." recognized.

"Kill them, kill them." The Han people rushed forward, and the two barbarians ran away.

"Stop." Seeing the angry crowd, the sergeant patrolling the city stopped and said, "You can come and go freely, you are no longer prohibited, step down."

It's the Japanese General's Mansion

"How many Hu people have left since the summoning order was issued?" Ran Min asked his subordinates.

Wei Jian replied: "Only outside the Zhongyang Gate, there are thousands of people in one morning."

"Li Sikong, is there any barbarian who agrees with me?"

Li Nong on the side remained silent.

"My lord Wei, please issue an order to me as commander-in-chief."

Wei Jian just retreated and went to the camp of the begging army in the city.Ran Min also wanted to leave the central hall, and before leaving, he said to Li Nong: "There is so much chaos in the city today, please Li Sikong stay at my house for a while, and when the lights are on, I will go back to the house and treat me to a feast in Yecheng." All the ministers and generals of the Han nationality."

Then he ordered the servants in the mansion to treat Li Sikong well.Now that Ran Min is so powerful, Li Nong has no choice but to listen to his arrangements.

A servant stretched out his hand involuntarily and said, "Li Sikong, please."
