Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 5

Chapter 005

Lin was illiterate, so she didn't know that it was Wei's army that came. She thought it was Yan's army, and her face turned pale with fright.

Mrs. Li was obviously relieved when he saw that it was the flag of Wei Zihao!

Although Mrs. Liu was illiterate, she didn't even know that it was Wei Jun who came.But she didn't flinch, and quickly ran in front of the group of sergeants, knelt down on the ground, and prayed to the dozens of sergeants: "Master, please don't arrest our husband, our village has already There are no more men, without our men, we orphans and widows can’t survive at all, please, please don’t arrest our husband, but arrest you and me!”

The second wife, Mrs. Lin, also stood up and said, "If you want to catch me, I can still cook for you. If it's really not possible, you can eat me if you want to eat!"

Lin said with tears streaming down her face: "My meat is delicious, if you want to eat it, eat me, don't eat our husband!"

"Cannibalism?" Ran Ming didn't know why they were called cannibals in Lin's mouth. He didn't know that in history, the Xianbei people established the Yan Kingdom, separated one side, and conquered everywhere, but didn't think about developing people's livelihood. , It will only be destroyed, but it will not be built. The Central Plains has been in war for decades, and the fertile land has been barren and thousands of miles away.The Yan army can no longer grab food in the hands of the Han people. In order to solve the food problem, they will target people!
Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" summed up China's thousands of years of feudal morality with the word "cannibalism".This kind of "cannibalism" is not really cannibalism.There are only very few who actually kill people to eat.However, in China's "five random China", the darkest period in the history of China and mankind, many people were slaughtered and cooked on a large scale.

The Jie people can simply be called "cannibal demons".According to historical records, they had no food and grass for marching and fighting, and they plundered Han women as military rations. The Jie people called Han women "two-legged sheep".Adultery at night.They slaughter and cook during the day.The blood debt of the Jie people to the Han people is too much. In the post-Zhao regime they established, the Han people are almost on the verge of genocide.

The cannibalism of Xianbei people is recorded in many places in "Book of Jin" and the great historical work "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".It's so sad that the great people finally fell into the two-legged sheep in the mouth of the barbarians!

Thanks to the appearance of Ran Min, the northern Han people avoided the danger of extinction. After he seized power, he established the Han state Wei, known as Ran Wei in history, and massacred the Jie people and other Hu people on a large scale.However, because Ran Min established the country for only three years, and during the three years since the establishment of Wei State, Ran Min kept fighting against the Hu people, and Wei State's internal affairs were not doing well. With the destruction of Ran Wei State, Wei Chen had not had time to serve Ran Min. Min Shu's biography was erected on the stele, so there are not many records, and it is almost forgotten by history.

At this moment, Ran Ming saw the little Ran Jingwen holding the only small ax for chopping firewood in the house, glaring fiercely at the leader Wei Jiang, as if he would come up and fight for his life whenever something went wrong!

Even Ran Ming, who has a heart of stone, was very moved when he saw this scene.

General Wei, the leader, suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Ran Ming in disbelief, and then bowed suddenly, and the soldiers of the Wei army around him also bowed and saluted.

General Wei said: "The humble Su Jue sees His Royal Highness King Pengcheng! Rescue is late, but I still hope for atonement!"

Ran Ming carefully searched the original memory, and found that this Su Jue was Ran Min's general, Su Jue of the Zhongshan Su Clan.

Ran Ming asked Li Shi to let go of himself, and he slowly walked in front of Su Jue, stretched out his hand to support Su Jue and said, "General Su, excuse me!"

At this time, Liu Shi and Lin Shi looked at Ran Ming with incredulous eyes. They originally thought that they had saved just an ordinary soldier. They waited for someone to marry Ran Ming. On a good day, no matter how ignorant Liu and Lin are, they still know that only the prince can be called His Highness!

Liu exclaimed in her heart, "Oh my god, my man is actually a prince!"

Immediately, Liu's eyes dimmed again, a prince would definitely not let a second wife into the house!
Only Mrs. Li vaguely guessed Ran Ming's identity, she wasn't surprised at all, she had some expectations in her heart, hoping that her guess was wrong, but the reality finally broke her last sliver of fantasy!
"How dare you call me a low-ranking knight in the army!" Su Jue said respectfully, "Your Highness killed the humble job!"

What Ran Ming is most afraid of is that Ran Min leads more than [-] troops northward to meet the Yan army like in history.Ran Ming asked: "Where is Father now?"

Su Jue said: "Your Majesty found out that Huang Xunu, the Xianbei of Liaodong, has occupied the entire territory of Youzhou. There are tens of thousands of troops in the Juma River, and there are signs of going south at any time. In order to resist the invasion of Huang Xunu from the south, Your Majesty has now led the middle base. , Shesheng, Yueqi, Tuenqi, and Changshan pawns, a total of more than 250 soldiers and horses, marched northward to Fangxian County, Changshan County, about [-] miles away from here!"

Ran Ming was secretly startled, so according to historical development, the battle of Liantai should have happened, right?I'm really afraid of something.

Ran Ming said: "The Yan army has just captured Youzhou, the soldiers are in full swing, and their morale is high. It is not an excellent opportunity to fight the Yan army now!"

Su Jue didn't seem to know Ran Ming. The original King Pengcheng was a master who was not afraid of anything. He never knew how to retreat. He understood the reason why steel is easy to break. He really couldn't figure out that Ran Ming knew how to judge the situation.It turns out that he doesn't understand these things, but he knows that the general Dong Zhao, the chariot general Zhang Wen, and Situ Liu Mao are all against His Majesty's decisive battle with the Yan army now, and they want to avoid their edge. When did Ran Ming have such insight? ?

Although Su Jue was surprised, he didn't think too much about it. He said: "Your Highness's words are very true, but His Majesty has decided to fight. General Dong Zhao, Cheqi General Zhang Wen, and Situ Liu Mao finally persuaded him with death. His Majesty has not changed his mind!"

Only then did Ran Ming feel that time was running out, and he hoped to persuade Ran Min to change his mind and change the fate of failure.Ran Ming just wanted to tell Su Jue to take him back, but suddenly he found that his lower body was being grabbed by the corner of his clothes. He looked down and saw that it was Ran Jingwen.

Ran Jingwen looked at Ran Ming pitifully and said: "Daddy, don't leave, don't throw away Jingwen, Jingwen will be good, Jingwen will dig wild vegetables, and Jingwen will make daddy full!"

When Ran Ming saw the three wives whose eyes were red and who were about to cry, he couldn't bear it anymore!The three wives have known from Su Jue that Ran Ming is His Royal Highness King Pengcheng of the Wei Kingdom, and they understand that the difference in status makes it impossible for them and Ran Ming to be together again!

Ran Jingwen is just a five or six-year-old child, not as scruples as adults.

Ran Ming really wanted to send Liu, Li, Lin, and Ran Jingwen to Yecheng, but the situation in the Wei Dynasty is very bad now. Apart from the capital city of Yecheng, even Wei Tong, the prefect of Wei County, surrendered to Jin. In the country, almost two-thirds of the way to Yecheng is within the enemy's country, and there are only [-] soldiers around Ran Min. If we send another army to escort the four of them, it will be useless if the number is small. With more people, I'm afraid it will be even more urgent for Ran Min.

Ran Ming thought for a while, this place is too remote, it must not be easy for the Xianbei Yan army to find it here.What's more, if Ran Ming can't reverse the result of Ran Min's battle in Liantai, if Ran Min loses, Wei Guo will have no hope, and Yecheng will not be able to hold on.Going to Yecheng is also a dead end.

Thinking of this, Ran Ming said to Su Jue, "Which one of you has money?"

Su Jue shook his head, why did you bring that thing to war?Su Jue is Ran Min's family general. He fought with Ran Min when he was 13 years old. His daily expenses are rationed by Ran's mansion. He has a little money.

In his words, if you don't bring money with you, you won't take it with you when you die!In the words of Zhao Benshan, the saddest thing in the world is that life is lost and money is not spent!So Su Jue is absolutely unwilling to be a pathetic person!
Not to mention other big soldiers, soldiers in ancient times only cared about food and never paid military pay, and conscientious generals would give some food to the people below.

Seeing dozens of people shaking their heads neatly, Ran Ming said helplessly, "Is there any food to eat?"

Su Jue looked at the three women, Liu, Li, and Lin, and their three children, with an expression that any man could understand, "Yes, yes!"

Two soldiers of the Wei army brought two small sacks of grain, which seemed to weigh about 100 catties.There are more than ten catties of salt.

Two small bags of grain made the three women glow green like wolves. They have been suffering for a long time. They have not seen grain for at least half a year. They usually eat tree roots, grass roots, and bitter herbs.And now even grass roots and bark are hard to find!They are worrying about how to live this day!

"Is there anything to eat?" Ran Ming asked again.

"Yes. There is this too!" Su Jue asked the soldiers to take out their dry rations, a piece of yellow flour pancake with the thickness of a thumb and the size of a palm. Emperor Shi Le was born in a Hu family, and he was most jealous of others saying Hu characters in front of him. Hu people were called Chinese people in Zhao State, and Hugua was renamed Cucumber, and Hu Chuang was renamed Maza.

This Hubing is also called sesame cake.The way of Hubing Nobility is to use flour as the main ingredient, mutton, and various meat pastes as supplements, and add eggs, salt, pepper and other condiments to bake the food!The common people's method is similar to the sesame seed cakes of later generations, with a small amount of meat and almost no condiments except salt!

Dozens of sesame cakes and more than 100 catties of food, this is the most that Su Jue's team can get. If there is more, they will have no food to go back!
Ran Jingwen watched as Mrs. Liu came out carrying Ran Ming's original armor and weapons, while those soldiers sent food and sesame cakes to the shed!This little guy seems to understand that this is exchanging food and pancakes for his father!Chen Jingwen picked up his small axe, ran up to Su Jue and yelled at Su Jue: "Get out, I won't change my father, no matter how much food I give!"

Ran Ming couldn't laugh or cry, the little girl thought that the food was for her father!

He had no choice but to say to the three wives Liu, Li, and Lin: "Wait for me, if I don't die, I will come back and lead you to live a good life!"
