Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 472 The Soldier Without Fighting

Chapter 476

Even if Murong Ke didn't have to think about it, he knew that there was something wrong with the country of Yan, but he couldn't guess who attacked the country of Yan, could it be the Tuoba tribe?

They want to be the same as before, colluding with Wei State and plotting against Yan State?

Suddenly, Murong Ke felt a slight tremor on the ground, and gradually the tremor became louder and louder. When Murong Ke turned his head, he saw a large cloud of dust and smoke rising out, and a dense black tide appeared on the horizon.

The soldiers of Wei came roaring like dragons and horses like tigers.A stone's throw away from Yan Jun, Wei Jun neatly reined in his horse.

Except for the occasional neighing of war horses, it was almost audible at this time.

After a while, a familiar figure appeared in the Yan army formation.

"Ran Ming, it's you!"

Ran Ming said with a cheap smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, are you safe and sound, I really didn't expect that we will meet so soon!"

Murong Ke was neither angry nor angry, and anger without strength was meaningless.

Murong Ke actually received a messenger from Murong Ye for help. Only then did he know that Wei Jun actually went to Lelang County by sea, landed from Lelang Zhanchan, and then attacked Liaodong, copying the back route of Yan State.

Murong Ke said: "His Royal Highness King Jiaodong, there is one thing I don't know, I hope you can clear up the confusion for Gu!"

"The regent is defenseless!"

Murong Ke said: "Gu really can't figure it out. Calculating the time, the time when the Wei army landed from Lelang and arrived in Longcheng was still before Gu sent troops. Could it be that His Highness is really as rumored as the prophet, and calculated in advance that Gu is going to attack Wei Guo ?”

Starting from Jiaodong Guobuqi Port by sea, to reach Lelang Zhanchan, the straight-line distance is almost 1000 miles by sea. Now in winter, the north wind is blowing, and sailing against the wind, you have to take a zigzag route on the sea and move forward in a roundabout way. Down, just over 1000 miles, in fact, more than 2000 miles away.

From Lelang Zhanchan to Longcheng, it is more than [-] miles by land. After careful calculation, this is a big turnaround of more than [-] miles. Even if the troops are elite, they don't need to fight. It may take a month just to go all the way. .

What's more, the speed of the sailboat is not fast. Lelang County has many mountainous roads and is rugged.

If after Murong Ke sent troops, Ran Ming never sent troops to start again, it would definitely be too late, unless Ran Ming could make the [-] soldiers grow wings and fly over.

Naturally, Ran Ming couldn't tell Murong Ke that he was a descendant. Knowing that after Murong Chui surrendered to Di Qin, he surrendered and then rebelled, he had no good intentions, so he was on guard.

Ran Ming organized the language in his head and explained: "It's also a coincidence. One and a half months ago, the Jiaodong Army went to sea for training. Take a rest, who would have thought that you, Murong Ke, would send troops to attack our country of Wei, so the leader of the Jiaodong Army made his own decision and attacked Longcheng, all because you, Murong Ke, were too persistent. Wai."

After hearing Ran Ming's explanation, Murong Ke felt that there were too many contradictions and didn't care. Now he is the defeated general.Murong Ke didn't point out Ran Ming's perfunctory words, but he was even more horrified. It turned out that Ran Ming had intended to deal with Yan Guo's opponents. If Ran Ming hadn't played the wrong way and let Ran Ming take advantage of the loopholes, Yan Guo might not have lost so completely. .

Now, Murong Ke regrets the decision to attack Wei Guo even more in his heart. Instead, he thinks that if he can destroy Wei Guo's army in Zhanchan first, he will have no worries.

Ran Ming looked at Murong Ke and said, "The Regent will give you two choices now. The first is to lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally. Don't tell lies in front of real people. From today onwards, military power will have nothing to do with the Regent. It's too important, if you are willing to be a rich man, Gu can keep you rich until you die."

Murong Ke already knew the defeat of the Yan Kingdom and his own ending, but he still couldn't accept it when he heard the result with his own ears.

Murong Ke was still fluke: "What about the second way?"

"It's very simple!" Ran Ming said with a smile: "Kill all the tens of thousands of soldiers of our Pingbei Army, step on the lonely corpse, and you can be free. Continue to be your regent, and of course the safety of the false emperor of Yan Kingdom on the city wall , Gu can’t guarantee it!”

Although Ran Ming said it lightly, it secretly threatened that if you dare to resist, these princes and nobles of the Murong Ministry will be executed.

In fact, at first Ran Ming wanted to uproot the Yan State and implement direct rule in Liaodong.However, when Ran Ming saw that the accompanying soldiers still had a lot of frostbite despite wearing down jackets and gloves, Ran Ming's heart changed.

The cold weather is the biggest obstacle restricting Wei's rule of the fertile soil in Northeast China.

Now the population of Wei State is too small to occupy such a large area. From a historical point of view, the barbarians rising in the Northeast have caused much more damage to the Central Plains than the nomads on the Mongolian grasslands.

The Four Swallows of the Murong tribe existed for nearly a century in history, while Tuoba seemed inconspicuous, and it also existed for 60 years, occupying the entire northern China.There is no need to say more about Liao and Jin.

One of the reasons for this is that the Northeast, unlike the North, has farming in addition to nomadism.Regardless of the Tuoba tribe or the Murong tribe of the Xianbei nationality, as well as the later Khitan and Jurchen tribes, they are all semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural peoples. They not only have the ferocity and fighting skills of nomadic peoples, but also the tenacity of farming peoples.

The former Yan died, but Murong Jun's son Murong Hong established Xiyan, Murong Chui established Houyan, Murong De established Nanyan, and Murong Yun established Beiyan.

It is this spirit of perseverance that makes Han people feel extremely ashamed when they see it.It is impossible for Ran Ming to kill all the people in the Murong tribe, nor is it possible to prevent the restoration of the Yan Kingdom.You must know that Murong Department has another characteristic besides those all-round talents in civil and military affairs, that is, they are better at fighting among themselves than the Han people.

In history, the former Yan died in internal struggles, while the Later Yan, Northern Yan, Southern Yan, and Western Yan all had the same characteristics and perished in internal struggles.

Ran Ming intends to take advantage of Murong Bu's characteristic of fighting among himself and control Murong Bu in his hands.

Ran Ming's plan actually has some unavoidable reasons. Although the Northeast is rich in fertile soil and is the third largest alluvial plain in the world, it is very cold. Unless a large amount of cotton is planted, and cotton bedding and cotton clothes are fully promoted, people like warm weather. The Han people could not survive in Liaodong at all.

Historically, Indian cotton, which originated in India and is better than African cotton, was introduced to the Central Plains. It has been experiencing turmoil in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the difficulty of cotton seed removal, the cost of manual seed removal was too high, and the price of spun cloth was too expensive. There has been no way to promote cotton in a large area.In the eyes of future generations like Ran Ming, there is no technical problem in cotton seed removal. As long as cotton can be popularized, the Northeast will definitely be brought under the direct rule of Wei State. Without cotton as a big killer, marching into Liaodong is an impossible dream.Not only Liaodong, but in Ran Ming's idea, the four counties of Han would also be taken back.

Ran Ming thought a lot, looked at Murong Ke silently, and asked, "I don't know how you think about it?"

Murong Ke said: "There is one condition for Ke, as long as His Highness agrees, from Murong Ke down, the whole family of Xianbei Murong Clan will surrender!"

Ran Ming said: "Gu may be able to agree to matters within the scope of Gu's authority, but the Regent must not make things difficult for Gu!"

"Your Highness, please forgive the crimes of Shedi Chui!" Murong Ke said: "As long as Murong Chui is acquitted, I will surrender!"

"Haha!" Ran Ming laughed, he was very happy.After a while, Ran Ming asked back: "Are you joking? Assassinating His Majesty the Emperor, even if you want to pardon him, I won't be able to make me, the feudal lord, the master?"

Murong Ke wanted to fight for another way out for Murong Chui, so he quibbled: "There is a saying in the Han people that they don't give orders to generals outside the country. As the commander-in-chief of the Pingbei Army, Your Highness should have this right!"

What Murong Ke said was right, even if it was Ran Min who asked him to avoid casualties of innocent soldiers in exchange for peace, he would agree to Murong Ke's conditions without hesitation.But Ran Ming is obviously not a person to be fooled easily, he said: "I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to talk about conditions alone, whether you want to live or die, you choose yourself, and I will give you a stick of incense time to think about it. After thinking clearly, let me know !"

After finishing speaking, Ran Ming rode his horse and returned.

Murong Chui said: "Fourth brother, don't make things difficult anymore, we have lost, we have suffered a crushing defeat, there is no possibility of recovering, and I have made money by exchanging my life for the chance of survival of the clansmen!"

Murong Ke said: "But..."

"Fourth brother, stop talking!" Murong Chui said with a dejected expression, "Assassinating the emperor is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. I'm afraid the Duan family, Ling'er, Bao'er and the others will not be able to escape this calamity!"

Murong Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Now we still have more than 1 soldiers and horses, so we may not have a chance to rush out!"

"Hehe!" Murong Chui said with a wry smile, "Look at our soldiers, do they want to fight again?"

Murong Ke looked around, and found that all the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army present, except for his personal troops, including the Dragon Knight Dugu Jinwen, all had their knives in their sheaths and arrows in their pots. Not to mention that there are only more than 1 soldiers, even if they have 10 horses, they may not be the opponents of Wei Jun.

According to the "Book of Wei", at the end of the fifth year of Yongxing in the great Wei Dynasty, more than [-] people from the Jiaodong Army under the leadership of Jing Zhan captured the cicadas from the sea, conquered Longcheng, and all descended from Yan Lord Murong Ye.

On December 25 of the same year, Wang Ming of Jiaodong led more than [-] soldiers of the Pingbei Army to catch up with Murong Ke and the remnants of Murong Chui under Lulong City, and forced Murong Chui and Murong Chui to surrender. Yan died.

"The army sets out!" Zhuge Youlian conquered the five cities of Qingzhou in Wei State, and he got on his horse and commanded the army to continue the attack.

Due to the emptiness of Qingzhou, Wei Guo was indeed caught off guard by Zhuge You.

When Ran Min arrived in Dongjun, when he received the news, Ran Min was furious.
