Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 737 The Complicated Situation

Chapter 742 The Complicated Situation

Due to the relatively closed transmission of news, when Youzhou, Pingzhou, and Yingzhou learned that Ran Zhi had usurped the throne in a coup and forced Ran Min and Ran Ming away, it was already after autumn.

The three states are actively preparing for the war.

However, they did not receive the news that Ran Min asked them to send troops to King Qin for a long time.

Xu Yuan, governor of Youzhou, was Yuan Ran Min's confidant, Zhongba Lieutenant. He was loyal to Ran Min, and he couldn't wait for Ran Min's imperial decree. He dared not lead an army into the central army without purpose.

As long as the governors of Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Bingzhou, and Anbei General are invited.

The four prefectures of Bing, You, Ping, and Ying of the State of Wei have assembled heavy troops to guard against possible threats from the Northern Han State.

All the soldiers and horses, including the national soldiers of You, Ping, and Ying counties, must be under the command of General Anbei Ji Gu, so Xu Yuan had to wait for the news of Ji Gu.

At the end of August, Ji Gu's order was issued: "Inner security must be fought against outsiders first. If the army transfers to the Central Plains, the frontier towns will be empty, and the Northern Han Kingdom will take advantage of the loopholes. They have done nothing."

After waiting for the news, Xu Yuan, Jing Zhan, and Ran Feng didn't think too much about it, and they felt it was reasonable.Ran Wei built his country by expelling the barbarians. The barbarians are ambitious and must not be taken lightly.

In order to prevent this from happening.Xu Yuan, together with Jing Zhan and Ran Feng, assembled soldiers and horses from the three states, engulfing the young and strong from all parts of the northeast, a total of tens of thousands of cavalry, and the troops were divided into three groups from the northeast to the northwest.

In the first year of Kaiyuan, there was a snowstorm in the north, and the Northern Han Dynasty and the northern grasslands suffered heavy losses.

In order to avoid antagonism with the Wei State, the Northern Han State chose to go north to deal with the weaker Rouran tribe.Pass on the snow disaster losses of the Northern Han Dynasty to the Rouran people.

After the spring of this year, the Northern Han Kingdom digested most of Rouran's population and cattle and sheep, and its strength did not decline but increased.

Emperor Liu Kuren of the Northern Han Dynasty was overjoyed. He was unwilling to herd sheep near Lake Baikal forever, so he had the idea of ​​going south.

Of course, he didn't dare to go south with the whole country, but a small tribe at the forefront made a tentative southward move.The tribe closest to the state of Wei even put their sheep on the north bank of the Xiliao River.

At this time, the State of Wei had no intention of attacking the Northern Han State, but in order to prevent the Northern Han State from going south, this catastrophe befell them.

Uzhina is a beautiful pearl on the prairie, and she is full of the passionate and unrestrained atmosphere of a prairie woman.The blush on his face was like the clouds beside the rising golden sun in the sky, bright and charming.She rode a maroon horse, running happily.The climate here is very warm, and the pasture grows very vigorously, so horses and sheep are easy to gain weight.

The maroon horse has already eaten to a round belly, but it still eats green grass from time to time.Uzhina patted the red horse's belly softly, and scolded with a smile: "If you eat again, you will become a pig, can you still run?"

Uzhina was very surprised why those tribes would show up as if they saw some indescribable horror when they mentioned going south. They would rather endure the cold in the north than go south to herd horses.

When they came to the banks of this wide Liaohe River, more than a thousand people from the whole tribe settled down. Not only the pasture was lush here, but also the prey was plentiful.

At this time, the horn sounded, and the warriors in the tribe returned from hunting. It is conceivable that they will also return with a full reward this time.Uzhina has already seen the man riding the horse at the front of the team. This man is very sturdy, but his face is not rough, and he has a kind of southern elegance.This is the bravest warrior in the tribe, his name is Tariqmu, he is the warrior with the best archery skills, the best riding skills, and the best martial arts in the tribe.It is also the dream lover of all unmarried girls in the tribe.

Those women have already gone up to meet them. They took the prey from the warriors and handed them warm milk tea and boiled meat.Then they are skilled in skinning and handling prey.

There is an indescribable tranquility and tranquility here.But before Uzhina could help, she felt an extremely slight vibration from the ground.Uzhina was puzzled, are there any warriors who haven't come back yet?
Dust was flying high in the distance, and the sound of hooves could be heard faintly. Seeing the rising dust covering the sky and the sun, it seemed that there was a large army coming in this direction.After being stunned for a moment, Uzhina still couldn't believe her own judgment. This is the land of no owner, and now it is the territory of their Mengtuo tribe. How could there be a large army marching?

Uzhina raised her eyes and looked into the distance, suddenly there was an unconcealable fear in her eyes.

I saw densely packed cavalrymen appearing on the horizon where they could be seen. These cavalrymen had ferocious faces and roared and shouted again and again.

The shrill ox horn sounded again, and Tariqmu was the first to react. He picked up his longbow, stepped on his horse, and rushed towards the group of black cavalry.

With a sound of 'collapse', the feather arrow shot out like lightning.

With a 'chi' sound, the feathered arrows were inserted into the chest of an enemy cavalry in the front, and the cluster of arrows trembled slightly, extremely powerful.

Without hesitation, Tariq took out the arrow again and fired it.Three arrows shot out in succession, almost in one go, but he only shot three enemies four times, but the crossbow arrows shot from the opposite side turned him into a hedgehog in a blink of an eye.

"Crime, I die in the territory of the Great Wei!" A Wei general shouted: "Kill!"

Countless black-armored cavalry swarmed forward. Although the warriors in the tribe were very tenacious and brave, unfortunately, their number was too small, and they were soon drowned in the black tide like a stone.

Uzhina was frightened stupid at this time, her very human bay red horse was carrying her to escape from this dangerous place.However, a thick armor-piercing arrow shot from the side, with an ear-piercing sound of piercing the air.

The red horse's neck was pierced by a thick armor-piercing arrow. The red horse neighed and fell to the ground with a thump, sending Uzhina flying far away.Uzhina just got up when she suddenly felt a huge pain in her back.

She felt the power all over her body, being quickly evacuated.Looking back at her tribe, flames were already burning in many places, and there were even more shrill screams.

Uzhina's consciousness became weaker and weaker, and she gradually fell into endless darkness, but in the last moment of consciousness, she saw countless black armored cavalry, carrying the power of destroying heaven and earth, rolling northward.

Tribes from the Northern Han Dynasty who tentatively went south, such as the Mengtuo tribe, suffered catastrophe at this moment.

Although the forces of these tribes are very weak, even though they have no borders.It's just that by accident, he became a poor victim.Those servants who cooperated with Wei's Northern Expedition also gained a lot.

No matter how poor these southern tribes were, they also had horses, cattle and sheep, and a lot of people.Men are all killed, women and children are a kind of windfall.These nomads are different from the Han people, their women and children are used to this kind of looting.They are all the trophies of the victors, and it is their habit to survive with the strong.

The three armies are like three rakes raking grass, leaving no blade of grass where they pass.Of course, there are also fish that slip through the net, and they will flee to the north without the Wei army's conquest.

The three armies traveled three thousand li to the north in more than half a month, smashed hundreds of tribes, large and small, and plundered many people.The Wei army and the servant army also gained a lot.From the sudden dispatch of the army to the return from the Northern Expedition, it took only one and a half months.Xu Yuan wanted to take advantage of the victory of the Northern Expedition and go south to the Central Plains to welcome Ran Min back.

However, Xu Yuan couldn't be happy.

Because, Anbei Great General Ji Wei still did not send the news he wanted.

The yamen of Youbeiping County Government Office in Youzhou.Youzhou Inspector Xu Yuan's face was like sinking water, Jing Zhan was also full of murderous looks, while Ran Feng closed his eyes and said nothing.

Xu Yuan shouted: "Is there any news about General Anbei? Your Majesty has never been mean to him. If His Majesty hadn't tried his best to protect him, he would have been a pile of bones long ago. Does he still have any conscience?" Ah, that's how I repay Your Majesty!"

Ran Feng said angrily: "It doesn't matter, Feng will lead the army to welcome the restoration of the father, whoever dares to stop Feng will be Feng's enemy, and he will never die!"

Shi Gongzhen, Governor of Youzhou, said: "Perhaps General Anbei has his own considerations."

Xu Yuan asked, "How do you say that?"

Gong Zhen said: "What if the general Anbei's heart is moved by the price offered? For example, how about being promoted to the prince, recording the affairs of the minister, and supervising Chinese and foreign military affairs?"

Ran Feng said angrily: "If he dares, I will kill him, the little traitor!"

Xu Yuan said: "Don't worry about it, the three of us tied together may not be able to beat him!"

Thinking of Ji Li's perverted kung fu, Ran Feng became discouraged for a while.In the original historical time and space.Seeing that the Yan army had broken the city, Ji Hei led his troops back to the palace, preparing to flee with the queen and prince.However, he returned to the palace with less than a hundred soldiers, and Ran Zhi and the queen were all captured.

It happened that he found Ran Yu in the confusion, and then he led Ran Yu out of Yecheng alone.

With this kind of perverted martial arts, I'm afraid it's not much worse than Ran Min.

Jing Zhan said: "If you can't beat the enemy, then outsmart you!"

Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, you still don't know Ji Wei. In terms of wisdom, I'm afraid he is not inferior to His Highness King Qin. They are all as wise as a demon."

Ran Feng said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, tell me, what should we do?"

Xu Yuan said: "Let's go to Shangbi to see His Majesty."

Ran Feng said: "I'm afraid that Ji Wei won't let us go west by way!"

"If he borrows it, he will borrow it. If he doesn't borrow it, my old Xu will force his way in!"

Yuan roared angrily: "Even if I can't beat him, it doesn't mean I'm afraid of him!"

Jing Zhan said: "If so, Zhan has a big gift for me!"

"what?"

Jing Zhan said: "The ones sent by His Royal Highness King Qin are called gunpowder. No matter how high his martial arts are, he will still be afraid of gunpowder!"

In mid-November, even at night in Yecheng, I still feel the biting coolness.

Ran Zhi looked at the brazier in the imperial study, and finally couldn't help but said: "Come here, add two more braziers!"

After hearing the order, the eunuch hurriedly took small steps, and quickly moved a few braziers, and placed more than a dozen braziers in the imperial study, which made Ran Zhi feel a lot of warmth.Although Nuan was warm, it made Ran Zhi feel inexplicably flustered.

At this moment, Pei Bi asked to see him.The eunuch in front of Ran Zhi said: "How many times have I told you that Pei Qing doesn't need to pass on the news, the palace will not defend against him at any time!"

The eunuch dared to come out, so he timidly ran to invite Pei Bi.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wanan!"

Ran Zhi hurriedly got up, helped Pei Bi and said, "Sir, I'm so disgusted! Why do you and I have such ties? Someone give me a seat!"

"Rites cannot be broken." The eunuch put the brocade stool behind Pei Bi, and Pei Bi sat down calmly.It's a bit far-fetched to say it's sitting, Pei Bi's butt just slightly stuck to the edge of the stool.

Ran Zhi asked: "Sir, how is the situation?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is fine!"

Pei Bi hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, but I feel that the actions of the Supreme Emperor and the King of Qin seem to be too abnormal. Governor Xu Yuan of Youzhou, General Ji Wei of Anbei, Governor Ran Feng of Pingzhou, and Governor of Yingzhou Inspector Jing Zhan, they are not only the great officials of the frontier, but also the confidantes of the Supreme Emperor or the King of Qin. The soldiers and horses in the hands of the four alone account for more than half of our Great Wei. Of course, there are also the Changshui Army and the Luoyang Zhang Wen Army. The Supreme Emperor and the King of Qin are encircled and attacked from north, east, west, and north, and His Majesty may not be able to deal with it. However, they have not taken any action now. Although the distance is far away, more than four months have passed, no matter how slow they are, they should Got the news!"

"This is actually very normal!"

Ran Zhi suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, the emperor's face is hard and soft-hearted, especially for the Han compatriots of the same origin, the emperor will not be cruel at all. If it is not Zhen, if it is Xianbei, or Huns, Jie and other Hu people have occupied the land of our Great Wei, not to mention having a superior force, even if there is only one soldier left, my father and my younger brother will not compromise, and they will fight to the end."
