Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 443 Can The Right Man Kill Him (Part [-])
Chapter 447

Ran Min laughed and said: "I laughed at Murong Ke's naivety. This time, he only relied on surprise to win the victory. I think that I am not bad for the people of Li. Since April of the first year of Yongxing, I have formulated the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System for Heavy Nuclear Power. I don't care about my background when conferring positions, as long as I have talent, I can get a prominent official position in the Wei Kingdom. Since I defeated Murong Ke in April of the third year of Yongxing, I have pardoned the world and rested with the people. Wei Guo is now peaceful and peaceful, although it is not Dare to compare it to the prosperous age of Wen Jing, but it can be compared to Cao Wei and the early days of Sima Jin. Even if I was assassinated, I still have sons, as well as the loyal and fearless soldiers of the Great Wei. Could it be possible that only [-] soldiers and horses can overthrow our great power? Can't Wei Cheng?"

In fact, what Ran Min said was right, if Ran Min really died, Wei Guo would not die for a while.After all, it is now November of the fifth year of Yongxing, and it has been almost five years since Ran Wei ruled the north. The people of Wei State formulated the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and promoting business through Ran Ming, and now it has achieved initial results.Compared with the four kingdoms of Jin, Yan, Dai, and Liang, the Kingdom of Wei can be compared to heaven.

The agricultural tax in Wei State is low, and the burden on farmers is extremely light. Although it is not a peaceful and prosperous age, at least it is considered to be well-organized and harmonious.The people who enjoyed the benefits given by the Ran family naturally forgot that the Sima family in the Jin Dynasty was the orthodox thing in the world.Under the rule of the Hu people, the status of the Han people is not even as good as that of pigs and dogs. Even if they rely on their traitors, their status is not as good as that of the Xianbei aristocrat's domestic slaves. Faced with the painful memories of the past, the people of Wei State will not be willing to love the Xianbei people, Di ruled by people.

They will resist, will fight to the death, and fight to the end.

In history, Liu Yu established Liu Song, and after the founding of the Three Kingdoms, he died, and Liu Song did not perish.It is because Liu Yu has laid a good foundation.Now Ran Min's Wei State is no longer the Wei State with only one city in history. Even if he dies, as long as Wei State succeeds the emperor and does not make foolish moves, he should not perish.

What's more, Ran Ming also left behind his tricks. He has sent Wang Meng to lead the Jiaodong army across the sea, copying Murong Ke's back route. Once the news of the copying of the old nest reaches the ears of the soldiers of the Yan army, will the Yan army still have morale? ?
There are two branches of flowers, one for each.When Ran Min, Ran Ming and his son were discussing the way out for Wei, Huan Wen also fled to the safe zone of Jiankang.Fortunately, in the misfortune, Huan Wen's generals Deng Xia, Zhou Fu, Zhou Chu's counselor Yuan Hong, and Xi Chao never left him, which made Huan Wen feel at ease.

However, in this battle, Huan Wen's Xifu army suffered heavy losses. Huan Wen invested 3000 soldiers and horses successively, but only [-] to [-] people escaped in the end.

Looking at the miserable and defeated soldiers with no fighting spirit, Huan Wen said indignantly: "How unfair is the sky? Wen Zi asked himself that he is worthy of the imperial court's obedience, and that he does not bully the good people. What he did is worthy of the sky, but why did the sky thunder strike our Xifu army alone? General!"

Xi Chao patiently persuaded: "Duke Ming doesn't need to worry about himself. From Chao's point of view, this is not some kind of heaven's protection, nor is it some kind of magic trick by Ge Xianweng asking God and Thunder for help. It's a kind of invention that we have never seen before. weapons!"

"New weapons?" Huan Wen said thoughtfully: "As for new weapons, didn't Ran Ming invent that very powerful Mo Dao? Heng Dao, and that kind of crossbow? Although these weapons are powerful , but a smart and capable craftsman can make it, but how is it that there is no rain but thunder?"

Modao and Hengdao actually appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. These weapons evolved slowly with the development of history. Although they came out earlier, they are still within the scope of people's understanding.But gunpowder is different. From Dahuan Dao to Heng Dao, it is only a quantitative change, but gunpowder is completely an innovation across the ages!

Xi Chao naturally couldn't explain what it was, but he had his own understanding and told Huan Wen: "Ming Gong can see that the sky thunder is bombarding continuously? If the fairy Ge can really attract the sky thunder, why only send it once? That thunder strike, can Hundreds of people were killed and injured, although we have more than two soldiers and horses, how many times can we withstand the lightning strikes with more than [-] soldiers and horses?"

"Besides, if you go against the law, you will attract the wrath of the gods, and they will send thunder and bombardment!" Xi Chao said: "The Xianbei people like to eat our Han daughters. They call them meat, or they call them two-legged sheep. This trip is inhumane. It’s not enough to punish, Minggong can see that Haotian is angry, and he will be punished by thunder? Shi Hu, since the head of the Baikui, has been drinking and lustful, arrogant and innocent, and comes out of the courtier’s house at night, and rapes his wife and concubines. Dressing up the palace is beautiful He beheaded and washed the blood, put it on a plate, and passed it on for everyone to look at. He also likes to have sex with bhikkhunis, and then cooks and kills, and eats with cattle and sheep. "

Huan Wen was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that this was the reason. If it is said that the sky is angry and people complain, there are many people who have done more than him in history. Why didn't Haotian strike people out?It is nonsense to say that the god is angry and punished by lightning.

Huan Wen said: "What the guest said is very true. Since Ran Ming can fly in the sky, why can't he make a thunderbolt?"

Xi Chao said: "It is so certain that this must be a new weapon made by Ran Ming. They had to suffer heavy casualties before. It is very likely that this weapon is not easy to make. It can be seen from this. Next time we fight against Ran Ming, we only need one Be angry, don't give him a chance to breathe, we have to win!"

If Ran Ming were here, he would be surprised to find that Xi Chao is the real Zhijiruoyao.Although he didn't have as much knowledge as the reference of the later generations, he guessed that the sky thunder bombardment was not the anger of the gods, but a weapon they had never seen before.

Ran Ming didn't even know that Xi Chao and Huan Wen had given Ran Ming's gunpowder a very flamboyant name "Tian Lei Bang".

Huan Wen said: "This weapon is too terrifying. If our army does not have this weapon, there is no way to fight Ran Ming!"

"Minggong is wise." Xi Chao said calmly: "The most important thing for Minggong now is to find a way to appease people's hearts!"

"Morale is frustrated now! How can I appease you?" Huan Wen asked.

Xi Chao said with a smile: "This matter is simple, without him, we can push the boat along with the current!"

Huan Wen still didn't understand.

Xi Chao explained again: "Duke Ming can invite a Taoist priest with great celestial arts to set up an altar in the army. He claims to be able to break Ge Xianweng's demonic arts. Anyway, Ran Ming can't make this kind of weapon for the time being. Once the soldiers see the demonic art If it is broken, it will naturally lose fear of this weapon."

"It's not impossible to appease the morale of the army with the strategy of a guest. However, this Ge Hong is a famous Taoist priest in the world, and he has a high reputation among the Taoist congregation. It is difficult for ordinary alchemists to compare with him in terms of prestige and spells. I am afraid that this one who is fighting with Ge Hong Humans are not easy to find!" According to Xi Chao's opinion, Huan Wen usually obeys his advice.But when Huan Wen thought about it, he realized the difficulty of this move.

Taoism is a native religion in China, which developed greatly in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.It not only has strict origin and inheritance, but also a place that pays attention to qualifications.Ge Hong is not only profound in Taoism, but he is also relatively old and senior.Just like Du Jiong and Du Mingshi who were active in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although he and Ge Hong are not in the same line, they are two generations behind in terms of seniority.Ge Hong's grandfather was Ge Xuan, one of the four great masters of Taoism, known as Tai Chi Immortal.

Xi Chao shook his head and said, "Although Ge Xianweng's seniority is high, it's not like he has no one to compare with."

"Oh!" Huan Wen asked suspiciously: "Is there any alchemist with a higher seniority than Ge Hong in this world? Is there such a person? Why hasn't Wen heard of it?"

"During the reign of Emperor Cheng, Xie Yunxie Daotong, the governor of Luoyi, was handsome and resolute when he was young. He read a lot of books, especially Taoism. After learning Taoism for several years, he learned the magic of solitude and was able to fly over cliffs. This Dai Mencius is of the same generation as Ge Hong’s ancestor Yin Changsheng, while Xie Daotong is of the same generation as Bao Liang, who inherited Ge Hong’s Taoism. After careful calculation, Xie Yun should be Ge Hong's uncle!"

Huan Wen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "With the help of the guests, why should I worry about the failure of the big event?"

Xi Chao shook his head slightly and said, "Duke Ming, don't be careless. Be careful that if you fail to kill the tiger, you will suffer from it instead!"

"The guest means that we should be careful to guard against Ran Ming and his son waiting for an opportunity to break through?"

"Ming Gong is wise!" Xi Chao said, "I'm sure that once the time is right, Ran Min and Ran Ming will definitely leave Jiankang. At this moment, the morale of our Xifu army has been frustrated, and there is no possibility of defeating Ran Ming and Ran Min for the time being. But he must surround the Qiming Academy. If Duke Ming sends someone to Wudang Mountain to thank Daoist Daoist, no one can guarantee whether he will be willing to go out of the mountain. Even if he is willing to go out, it will take ten months to come and go. With such a long time, any accident can happen!"

Huan Wen didn't understand Xi Chao's meaning, and asked suspiciously: "Does the guest have another trick?"

Xi Chao said in a low voice: "This Xie Daotong has been out of the world for more than [-] years. The world rarely sees his true face. Minggong can find a dignified person with a sense of immortality to pretend to be him. The soldiers don't know why, and they will definitely regain their confidence. !"

Huan Wen nodded.

Just when Huan Wen was about to send someone pretending to be Xie Daotong to appease the army, he was in a wine shop in Jiankang City.

"Hey, buddies, have you heard?" A drinker said mysteriously, "There was a thunderstorm on Shogun Mountain yesterday and tomorrow!"

"What do you mean by hearing about it? Do you still need to hear about it? I just saw it with my own eyes." A witness said: "The Shogun Mountain outside the city has been fighting for the past few days. I don't know what happened. , emitting a fire that was hundreds of feet high, and the thick smoke rose more than thirty feet, which can be clearly seen from tens of miles away!"

"Yes, that's it! I saw it too!" Many people agreed.

"You don't know about the secrets of this divine thunder, do you?" a "knowledgeable" person ostentatiously said.

"Thunderstorms on a sunny day, although it is abnormal and rare, it is not unheard of. What's the inside story?"

"Don't you know?" "Informed" said humanely: "I heard that the emperor of Wei State went to the Qiming Academy in Mufu Mountain. Huan Wen led the army to attack the academy and wanted to kill the emperor of Wei State. Who are the emperors? He is the real dragon emperor, can he be killed casually?
