Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 48
Chapter 049

Lu Yan said slowly: "The best strategy is to retreat as an advance, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

Ran Ming pondered for a while, then he raised his brows and said, "Sir, you mean that I retreated from Yecheng, let Murong Xianbei go south, and compete with Duan Kan for Qingzhou!"

Lu Yan nodded and said: "Murong Jun is very ambitious. He will not give up his wish to take control of the Central Plains just because His Highness hindered the Yan army from temporarily losing. Although His Highness has won the Yan army, Xianbei is a nomadic people. They pursue the policy of all soldiers and all soldiers. As long as they have a lot of money and food, they can pull up a large number of troops anytime and anywhere. Although Yan State lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is undeniable that Yan State is much stronger than Wei State! As long as His Highness led the army to withdraw from Gaoyang and return to Yecheng. Pay close attention to the movement of Qingzhou, as long as Murong Jun and Duan Kan are both injured, His Highness will take them without any effort!"

Ran Ming walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. He considered the feasibility of this strategy. In history, Murong Ke did attack Qingzhou after defeating Ran Min. Duan Kan was defeated!When Murong and Duan are both in a loss, Qingzhou can be captured at the least cost.

But this strategy has an obvious loophole, that is, it takes too long, and it is impossible for Wei Guo to waste this precious time waiting.What's more, there is another factor. Ran Ming doesn't have enough food in his hands, and he doesn't have the strength to feed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians under his command.

Ran Ming smiled lightly and said: "Although this plan is ingenious, I don't have that much time. The food I have snatched back is enough for two months at most. Even if I save food and reduce consumption, I can barely last for three or four months. Qingzhou is defenseless, and I have no ability to take it!"

Lu Yan is actually not a top-notch strategist, his strength is in internal affairs. However, he obviously knows that Ran Ming will adopt this strategy. If Ran Ming really uses this method, Lu Yan's plan for revenge will fail.His enemies are Xianbei people, whether Duanbu Xianbei or Murongbu Xianbei, they are all his enemies, regardless of each other!
Lu Yan said with a faint smile: "Then the best strategy is to build plank roads openly, cross Chencang secretly, and strike east and west."

Looking at Ran Ming's dazed look.

Lu Yan explained: "Your Highness can send one of the people together with all the people to equip the people with armor and issue weapons, pretend to be the main force of His Highness, Chen Bing Le'an State Liaocheng County, threaten Duan Kan's old nest Linzi City. And make a plan to attack Linzi from the north The situation in the city forced Duan Kan to send a Qingqi to the north line of Linzi City, where the army was assembled, to detour through Tai'an, occupy Laiwu, and attack Linzi City from the south. In this way, Duan Kan will definitely send troops to the south. In this way, Your Highness You can lie down on the way!"

Due to the great difference in place names between ancient and modern times, Ran Ming couldn't even tell where Liaocheng County was, but he knew Laiwu Tai'an.Ran Ming asked someone to find a map, and followed Lu Yan's route to look carefully.

Ran Ming discovered that Liaocheng County is actually at the mouth of the Yellow River!This is the Lijin County of later generations, a large agricultural county with more than 80 mu of fertile land, and a large number of natural pastures. It is a good place for animal husbandry and fishery.In this era, the yield of farmland is extremely low, and one mu of land in later generations can support a person, but in this time and space, at least ten mu of land is needed to support oneself.For a family of five, at least [-] mu of land can guarantee food and clothing.

Ran Ming was very excited. If Lu Yan hadn't reminded him, he would not have remembered Lijin County.

The port that Ran Ming urgently needs needs to be backed by the coast and has enough arable land, and Liaocheng County can meet these characteristics.

Ran Ming said: "I will choose a strategy, first take Liaocheng County as a base, and then plan Qingzhou!"

……

On April 27th of the third year of Yongxing, Ran Ming led the Canglang Camp, Su Jie Army, Tiger Xiao Camp, and more than [-] rescued civilians to leave Gaoyang City.

The sun has just risen from the eastern sky. Since there are no clouds in the sky, the sun is very dazzling as soon as it comes out. The golden light is sprinkled on the devastated land, and the dry and cracked fields seem to be mocking. world.Hu Yanqun led the Canglang Battalion as the vanguard, the Sujie Army as the rear troops, and the Huxiao Battalion escorted more than 9000 Xianbei prisoners to walk with the people.

These more than 6 people are not as energetic as the soldiers of the Wei army. Everyone is like a walking dead. They don't know where they will be taken!At the same time, I am also full of worries about my future!

The huge team didn't walk along the official road, because the official road was about the same as the farmland at this time, and the field was as hard as the road at this time, and there was not even a single crop, so there was no need to worry about it!Ran Ming's troops walked very slowly. The huge team carried more than 7 shi of grain and only traveled thirty or forty miles a day.

During the day, I met no pedestrians on the road at all, and I never saw a village.Ran Ming's heart was very heavy.

Finally, when the sun was setting on the western mountain, Ran Ming finally saw a village, which should not be small from the outside, covering an area of ​​five or six hundred acres.

However, after entering this village, I discovered that Ruo Da village actually has only four or five families with a dozen or so people, and all of them are too poor to live happily.Ran Ming saw these families from a distance, and they looked at Ran Ming's team numbly.Until Ran Ming walked in front of them, a skinny villager said weakly: "Don't waste your energy, the village has nothing left, no money, no food, no women."

Another old village with vicissitudes on its face suddenly threw a clod the size of an egg at the helmet of a Xiongnu soldier from the Canglang Camp like a demon.He muttered in his mouth: "God damn Hu Gou, come and chop off the little old man's head, I've had enough, come and kill me!"

Feeling angry, the Hun soldier drew out his knife sharply, and was about to step forward to kill the old man who offended him. Suddenly, he saw Ran Ming's eyes shooting at him like lightning, and he was so scared that he almost didn't even take the knife !
Ran Ming jumped off his horse, came to this demonic old man, bowed and said: "Old man, you have suffered!"

Seeing these numb people, Ran Ming realized that relying on himself alone would definitely not be able to defeat the Xianbei people, let alone restore the Han family's rivers and mountains. Now we must gather the scattered hearts!

Ran Ming said to the dozen or so villagers: "Leave this place with me. I will let you live a good life. No one will rob you of your food or your wealth. We Dawei will protect you!"

A villager asked in a low voice: "What you said is true? Do you have food?"

Ran Ming smiled and said, "I have food, a lot of food!"

"But, the Xianbei people robbed all the food!"

"The Xianbei people can snatch it away, and I can snatch it back from them!"

"Aren't you afraid of those blond monsters?"

"What are you afraid of? They also carry one head on two shoulders. If they go down with a knife, the head will fall to the ground, and the corpse will still be left on the spot~"

Ran Ming quietly found Lu Yan and whispered in Lu Yan's ear for a while.

Lu Yan nodded and left!

After a while, figures began to appear among the people, and they began to whisper with the people around them.

"Do you know why those Xianbei people threw away their looted property and fled in embarrassment before they shot an arrow?"

"you know?"

"Of course I know that King Pengcheng killed 14 Xianbei people in Liantai, more than 1 people in Anxi, and another 3 people in Boling. In just ten days, the Xianbei people were killed by His Royal Highness King Pengcheng. Nearly 20 people”

In another place, thousands of people gathered together, and someone said, "Do you know where His Royal Highness King Pengcheng is taking us?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Your Highness, take us to a treasure land where the harvest is guaranteed during drought and flood, where there will be a bumper harvest in any year!"

"Is there such a place?"

"Of course! Your Highness will take us there!"

"But, that place is not easy to go!"

"what happened?"

"There are many Xianbei people there, all of them are very powerful. They occupy the most fertile land. Only by killing them all can we take back this precious land from them."

Someone said: "Your Highness is so powerful, he can definitely defeat the Xianbei people."

"Hey!" Someone sighed: "Your Highness has too few sergeants, and there is a saying that two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a tiger can't stand a lot of wolves! I think Xuan!"

"We also follow His Highness to fight the Xianbei people. Anyway, we can eat enough every day these days, and we are full of strength."

Under the guidance of someone with a heart, the common people have unknowingly formed one, and have condensed into a whole that shares weal and woe. They can only survive by following Ran Ming, and only Ran Ming can lead them to live a good life.

And they also understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and only the hard work will pay off!If you join the Wei army, you can get land with guaranteed harvest from drought and flood. If you join the Wei army to kill Hu, you can live a good life. If you want land and want to live a good life, you can only join the Wei army~

More than 6 people, under the temptation of beautiful longings, they burst out the most primitive human desires!
The second time was early in the morning, Qi Qi rushed to Ran Ming's tent and shouted: "We want to join the Wei army, we want to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"
