Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 297 Insatiable Greed
Chapter 302

Zhao Hongdao: "How is that possible? Dingxiang is a big city. There are more than 7 shi of grain stored in the city. Even their [-] soldiers and horses can feed them for a year without any problem. How can there be a shortage of grain!"

"I don't know the specific situation!" Zhang Junyi said again: "It may be that a new army has arrived! The army must have enough food! I heard that not only our Mayi has to transport food, but even the surrounding Ning Wu, Dai, and Yuanping counties also want to transport grain and grass to Dingxiang!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let outsiders hear..." Zhao Hongdao: "I heard from my brother Cong in Yanmen County that the imperial court is planning to send troops to the Dai State in retaliation for the original Dai State's support for Cui Tong's rebellion, so This news must not be heard by the enemy's secret agents!"

The small official left with an excuse and reported the news he heard in the county office to his superior.

The upper line hurriedly used the power in his hand and continued to report.

Di Qin was in charge of the intelligence work was Lu Polou's son Lu Deshi, and Lu Deshi was shocked when he received the information.

Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong are all secretly raising food.

Moreover, these operations were done extremely secretly, and ordinary civilians were not used, but captives were directly used.

Since the captives are closely guarded by the Wei army, there is no need to worry about leaking secrets.

In order to verify the correctness of this news, Lu Deshi launched a money offensive again. Under the offensive of a large amount of money, many officials of Wei State betrayed their righteousness and sold out the secrets they knew!

Finally, after exhausting all their efforts, Qin Guo worked carefully, and finally found out that Wei Jun had secretly sent more troops to Dingxiang and Yanmen.Even the Huxiao Camp and Beiwei Army that disappeared in Tongguan and Hangu Pass also appeared in Dingxiang!
Lu Deshi was overjoyed, Fu Jian would definitely reward him for finding such important information.Lu Deshi sent the news in three ways: messengers, carrier pigeons, and flying eagles to ensure that it could be accurately transmitted to Qin!
However, before they had time to be happy, they discovered that the densely packed Wei army appeared around their residence at this time, attacking directly without saying a word.

These meticulous work, after all, are meticulous work, how could they be the elite opponents of the Wei army, they would either become prisoners of the Wei army, or be killed directly!However, Lu Deshi escaped the pursuit of the deaf and dumb.

The details of the captives on the spot were interrogated by the "deaf and dumb" professional intelligence personnel, and all the bamboo tubes poured beans and told them everything they knew.

Ran Min secretly ordered "Heavenly Deaf and Earth Mute" to act again to eliminate the enemy's spies in the territory of Wei State.

Close the borders of Jin, Qin, Dai, and Yan.

Ran Min's strategic deception finally succeeded in deceiving the high-level officials of the Qin State. In order to regain Tongguan, the high-level officials of the Qin State killed the sharp sword hanging over their heads, and the whole country was temporarily united.

Prince Fu Sheng also urgently needs military merits to stabilize his position, while Fu Jian needs military merits to be recognized by everyone!

The purpose is the same, the two did not disrupt each other like the Han people, but each led their own parts and attacked a place!
In the end, Fu Jian and Fu Sheng decided by drawing lots that Fu Sheng would lead his confidant, Qu, to attack Tongguan, while Fu Jian would attack Hangu Pass. Both sides proved their respective abilities with military achievements.

Naturally, there were also many Han people in Qin who were unwilling to be oppressed by the Di people to report to Ran Min!

In fact, even if the Han people in Guanzhong hadn't tipped off the news, Ran Min's "deaf and dumb" would still know Qin's movements!
As for the state of Qin in Guanzhong, Fu Jian finally relied on: "Would you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch" and successfully persuaded the leaders of the major tribes of the Di people in Guanzhong.

In the fourth year of Yongxing in the state of Wei, in the ninth year of Yonghe in the state of Jin, on November 3000rd in the third year of Emperor Qin's reign, Fu Jian, the emperor of Qin, ascended the altar to pay homage to his general. Attack Hangu Pass, make Prince Fu Sheng the Great General of Conquering the East, and command [-] troops to attack Tongguan!
On November [-]th of the third year of Huangshi, the eager Fu Sheng did not order the troops to rest, and directly participated in the siege!

The tragic battle started first than the Weiyan battle.

When the news reached Yecheng, the whole country of Wei State was in an uproar.Wei Guo was like a perennially hungry beggar who finally got a steamed bun. Before he had time to eat it, he found a big man on the opposite side rushing up to grab his steamed bun.

Ran Min, the emperor of Wei State, gave a passionate speech in the court hall: "Everyone, I just received the news that Diqin in Guanzhong launched an attack on Tongguan and Hanguguan of our Great Wei, and we signed an armistice with Diqin last year. Agreement and friendly covenant. To unilaterally tear up the covenant and fight without declaring war is a naked provocation to our Great Wei! Yesterday, our loyal and brave soldiers were fighting bloody battles with the despicable Di people at Tongguan and Hangu Pass!

I would like to ask all of you, what does it mean to our Great Wei that the Di people went to war without declaring and attacking our Great Wei's city?
This is a shameless aggression, this is the Di people trying to enslave us with their cavalry.As the emperor of the Great Wei, I now declare to the world that we, the Great Wei, cannot sit idly by for the long-planned aggression of the Di people, let alone seek peace in a humble way.Take your weapons and fight the invaders for our great Wei and our homeland!Even if the battle is to the last soldier. "

As soon as Ran Min finished speaking, the courtiers of Wei State were furious.You must know that these Wei ministers were unwilling to be bullied and oppressed by the Hu people. They resisted the Hu people's aggression.They chose the most staunch way of suicide and martyrdom to express their inner unwillingness and dissatisfaction. (According to the research of relevant history buffs, the habit of ministers dying for the country began to rise in Ran Wei. Don't listen to Luo Guanzhong's fooling around, there were no such loyal ministers in the Three Kingdoms period)

The Shangshu ordered Liu Qun to say: "Your Majesty, the main force of our Great Wei has already gone north, and now Qin Guo is taking advantage of the weakness of our internal defenses to fight without announcing it. I believe that we should stop the war with Yan, negotiate peace with Yan, concentrate our forces, and fight against Di Human aggression!"

In fact, Ran Min's strategic layout did not tell Liu Qun that the only ones who really understood Ran Min's combat intentions were Zhong Shen, Zhang Wen, Dong Run, and the specific executor Chang Wei.Ran Min said very generously: "Sure! For this matter, I have ordered Chang Weijian to go to the country of Yan to discuss the matter of peace!"

As the Di people entered the set and launched an attack on Tongguan, Ran Min's layout officially began to close the net!
Seven fires burned on the wall of Lulongzhai Pass.

The Yan Guo scouts hiding in the dark reported this subtle situation to Murong Ke.

Murong Ke thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

Just when Murong Ke was about to give an order, Murong Chui grabbed Murong Ke and said, "Fourth brother, do you really decide to do this? Although the Tuoba tribe and my Murong tribe are not in harmony, they are of the same origin as us after all." The Xianbei people here are born from the same root, so why rush each other!"

Murong Ke's eyes flashed sharply and said: "We are born from the same root, so why bother with each other, we take Tuobabu as our own, but look at what Tuoba'er has done, he wants to swallow [-] mouthfuls of my Murongbu People, I want my Murong Department to contribute [-] horses and millions of cattle and sheep. What does this mean? Don’t you understand? This is to let my Murong Department perish. Without horses, what are we on horseback? The nation, the warriors of the Great Xianbei, are all horse athletes. Without horses, they become lame and disabled. Without cattle and sheep, our Murong tribe, how can we survive, don’t wait for Wei Guo to attack us, even if we are hungry. It will starve us all to death!"

"But!" Murong Chui said: "Can you trust Ran Min? Doing so is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger! Besides, our hatred with Wei Guo is too deep, how could they..."

Murong Ke smiled wryly, "Do we still have a choice?"

Murong Chui was also speechless.

Their country of Yan is at the end of the road, so they can only choose to believe in Wei and Ran Min.

Otherwise, there is only one way to perish.

Murong Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Wei Guo sent more than one envoy!"

Murong Chui's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Despicable and shameless!"

In fact, Ran Min did not send envoys to the country, it was just a temporary plan by Chang Wei.

In the end, Murong Ke and Murong Chui were forced to compromise with Wei Guo.

Because they believed that if Yan State did not cooperate with Wei State, then Tuoba Dai State would also cooperate with Wei State and join forces with Wei State to carve up Yan State.

People are swords and I am fish and meat, Murong Ke can only accept Ran Min's opinion with the idea of ​​a dead fellow Taoist and a poor Taoist.

On the banks of the Qinglong River, the army camp of the Dai Kingdom.

Murong Ke and Murong Chui led 3000 troops, pulled more than 1000 high-speed carts, and carried a lot of wine and meat, and slowly entered the Daiguo camp in the way of rewarding the army.

The soldiers of the Tuoba Dai army were not vigilant. After all, the Wei army was right under their noses, and they never thought that the Yan State would attack the only ally of the Yan State.

Just when Murong Ke and Murong Chui entered the Dai army camp, with Murong Chui raising the big knife in his hand, he chopped to death the Dai country officials who came to greet them.

Then, the big knife in Murong Chui's hand flew up and down, directly killing the Tidai soldiers and turning their backs. Murong Ke fought more than Murong Chui, and he brought the elite troops of his headquarters to continuously penetrate through the Daiguo camp. .

As long as he saw the Dai army gathering thousands of soldiers and horses, Murong Ke would kill them non-stop, without giving the Dai army a chance to gather at all!
Gradually the sky brightened.

At this time, the generals of the acting army had discovered that their acting king Tuoba Shiyiqian had left the army and ran away.

The rest of the generals looked at it and said, "Okay, the heads are gone, let's give a fart!"

So they surrendered!

After Tuoba Shiyijian ran for more than 100 miles with his younger brother Tuobagu and others, the horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, and when they saw that there were no pursuers behind, they stopped.

Tuoba Shiyiqian looked back and counted his troops, and almost cried.

More than 15 people went out to fight, and less than 8 horses ran out with him, and more than 6 horses were thrown by the Qinglong River.

Tuoba Shiyijian understood after a little thought.

Murong Ke must have reached some kind of agreement with Wei Guo, otherwise he would have given Murong Ke three guts to lend him, and he wouldn't dare to attack him here!
