Sweep the World

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and everything is right.

There are many interpretations of the arena. As small as the children in a family tend to favor fathers or mothers, or a group of small partners, there will definitely be one or more leaders. On a large scale, a country must have many leaders. interest group.

Ran Min will undoubtedly be the leader of an interest group. Those who originally belonged to the Ran clan’s Qin state took their stand, and some powerful people who were liberated later took refuge, which led to the loss of the interest group headed by Ran Min. The country was restored afterwards.

"The king calls the lord to go to Xiangguo to report on his duties?" Liu Yi is not an official of the Han country, but as a personal assistant in the Zhengbei Shogunate as a retainer of Ran Min. He was frowning at the moment: "The Corps has refurbished, and now he is calling the lord to report on his duties. Isn't it...what's difficult to understand?"

Jiang Gan, Miao Song, Dai Shi and other ministers who originally belonged to the Ran clan’s Qin state chose to become Ran Min’s vassals after the Ran clan’s Qin state was merged into the Han state. All things naturally started with Ran Min’s. The safety of Ran Min and the interests of this group are also considered.

"The reason why the king will go north is that the lord's subordinates are too swollen. After the king comes, the lord will follow his orders." Miao Song said with a smile: "If there is something difficult to understand, you don't have to worry."

Miao Song had previously interpreted the changing situation as an interpretation, and directly stated that Liu Yan was not a prone to suspicion. He even told Ran Min privately that he found that Liu Yan admired the ministers and workers with Han nationalism, and Ran Min was really hard at killing people no matter what the early stage and the later stage.

"As expected, it must be the Hu's counterattack, and the northern war center must re-plan the theater." Jiang Gan's new words were only learned after Han. He said: "Before the king let the lord be in charge of the war on the northern front, it can be seen that he is very trustworthy and relies on the lord. This time Shijie and Murong Xianbei, and even Liang Guo may be together, the battle line for the charge of the northern shogunate is a bit longer. ."

As a general, Ran Min’s military power should be the largest in the Han country. It swelled to close to 500,000, so let’s not talk about it. Later, the central government ordered the selection of the northern shogunate and the establishment of 240,000. Liu Yan, General Xu Zheng, who rose at the end of the Wei Dynasty, has an extra 40,000.

If you change to someone else, if you have too many troops in your hand, you will be flustered. I am afraid that the king will always be jealous. Maybe one day he should die of the king's jealousy, but Ran Min seems to have never had similar worries.

"The king treats me very much, and I have never had the intention of betraying the king." Ran Min said with a smile: "I am not afraid of shadows, naturally there is no fear."

Hearing what Ran Min said, many of the retainers were actually relieved. What they were afraid of was that Ran Min could not see the situation clearly, and sincerely gave birth to the idea of ​​rebellion and self-reliance.

The reality did not allow Ran Min to have the capital to betray. As long as Liu Yan did not allocate the munitions, the equipment and the grain would be cut off. The original Ran's Qin army was reorganized and reorganized into the Shogunate of General Zhengnan. Those people from the Central Plains who took refuge in Ran Min after the liberation, although they were included in the Ran Min interest group, they went to Han, not Ran Min personally.

"In this way, the lord is naturally worry-free. It's just that..." Liu Yi dragged an ending, and said unhappily: "The Zheng family who belongs to the prime minister on the right must chew more tongues."

The so-called Zheng family is a family of Xingyang, whose strength is comparable to that of the aristocratic family. Before the recovery of Xingyang, the Han army relied on the Sang clan to seek refuge in the Han country, and made great efforts when the Han army recovered Xingyang County. This family was instructed by Sang Yu to cooperate very well with the actions of the Han nation and took the initiative to surrender the land outside the regulations. Dingkou and the like also cooperated with the registration. Later, Liu Yan, in view of Zheng Jiali’s credit and cooperation, also gave it to others according to the credit. Some conveniences.

If history has not changed, and the timeline will be hundreds of years later, the Zheng family of Xingyang is a prominent family in the Li Tang period, ranking one of the "five surnames and seven hopes".

In fact, many of the prominent families in the Li and Tang dynasties began to develop after the Five Husbands and Chaos. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they used various methods to grow. After the Yang Sui Dynasty, they had expanded and became behemoths. Some of the prominent families were destroyed or weakened in the end of the Sui Dynasty. , The so-called "five surnames and seven hopes" was once again strengthened in the chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty, even if the Li family in Longxi later gained the world, it was extremely fearful.

After the Yang family in Xingyang County was incorporated into the Han country, they chose Ran Min as their backing. The two families had conflicts as early as Shijie’s rule. After waiting for Xingyang County to become the territory of the Han country, the two families were supposed to Dormant for a while, the problem is that the Zheng family thinks that Sang Yu, the right prime minister, is the backer. It seems that Liu Yan also prefers to the Zheng family. The result is that the Zheng family is the first to hold back. The result of the fight is because of Ran Min’s intervention. Leading to the complete defeat of the Zheng family.

The Yang family is a veteran family. It can be traced as far back as the generation of Yang Biao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They first suffered heavy losses during the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, and later they were completely degraded due to Yang Xiu's death in the Cao Wei period. They waited until the Sima family usurped the throne. When the Jin Dynasty was established, it was restored because of its family background. The problem was that it quickly declined after the rule of the Xiongnu and Shijie.

"It was they who did it first, who was the blame?" Ran Minyi said indifferently: "Waiting for me to arrive in Xiang Country, naturally I will have a clear understanding with Prime Minister You."

For a time, the retainers only felt speechless. They always knew that Ran Min's political talents belonged to a void, and repeated teaching and reminding was useless. In some ways, they are also fortunate that Ran Min is politically naive, because the current ruler is Liu Yan.

After another round of discussions, waiting for someone to report that it was ready, Ran Min only took Jiang Gan as his personal assistant, and another five hundred horses as a guard, headed straight for the country of Xiang.

When Ran Min and his party arrived in Xiangguo, they went directly to the camp of the military barracks. After the notification, they were summoned by Liu Yan.

"Why didn't the king stay in the palace?" Ran Min was a servant on the road. Liu Yan was stunned by the first sentence, and then he said: "The minister has heard some rumors, saying that it is the king and the place The many women in Miyagi sang and sing every night, and they really should have pulled their tongues out."

Yecheng and the Miyagi of Xiangguo together housed more than 30,000 women. They were all taken captive by Shihu. They were supposed to be released back home. However, some of the women who returned home suffered tragic misfortunes. Later, Liu Yan took some measures to let those women choose not to go back. As a result, only a few people were willing to return to their hometown.

In fact, if history did not change, the fate of the women who were taken captive by Shihu would be very tragic. After Ran Min established himself in Wei, Shi Jie and Murong Xianbei came to attack, and the besieged Yecheng lacked food and could only eat. It was a common phenomenon for people to eat with children or eat corpses at that time, and most of the 30,000 women were eaten. Waiting for Ran Min's defeat, they were taken over by Murong Yan's army. They were raped and they were walking two-legged sheep. The remaining thousands of people were driven into the river and drowned when they arrived in Youzhou.

"Yong Zeng is still so unobtrusive." Liu Yan was not annoyed, he asked Ran Min to find a place to sit down, and he stood beside the mountains and rivers maps and thought about something. After waiting for a short while, he turned his head and saw Ran Min holding a kettle in his mouth. He first ordered Xun Xian to prepare food in the afternoon. Then he said to Ran Min: "Shi Jie and Murong Xianbei are going to fight back. Secondly, I want to hear what Yong Zeng has to say."

"The Han sent a large army to conquer the Puppet dynasty. The Hu people thought that the Han was short on the northern front, and it was not unexpected that the army would gather together." Ran Min put down the kettle and said grinningly: "You come here, and the minister should take Yin. But the first class is dedicated to the king."

Liu Yan laughed "haha" after hearing this: "It's Yongzeng's style."

In fact, Liu Yan was somewhat worried in advance that Ran Min would think about it. Hearing that he wanted to dedicate Yin Bi's head, he naturally heard that Ran Min had speculations about what the Central Committee would have and did not resist.

"If Murong Xianbei is on the defensive, the minister is fully responsible for the northern line, of course, there is no problem." Ran Min looked directly at Liu Yan, and said: "Shi Jie and Murong Hus invited counterattack, Youzhou is too far away from the minister's shogunate. , The king should rebuild the shogunate to deal with it."

Liu Yan also looked at Ran Min, and said, "I've never been able to think this way, I am very pleased to be a widow."

"In many cavalry battles, Shijie has seen many advantages of saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes. In recent battles, Shijie cavalry has been equipped with similar equipment." Ran Min's Northern Expedition Corps had nearly 70,000 cavalry for nearly a year. The loss is over 10,000, and it has not been able to be replenished. He bluntly said: "The big man does not lack good horses. What he lacks is excellent knights. The minister thinks that he can recruit good horses and naturalized Hu men as soldiers, so that he can maintain his advantage in the cavalry battle."

Saddles have been around for a long time~www.wuxiamtl.com~ but the styles are different. Stirrups and horseshoes were cavalry equipped with the Han army in the second year of Yuanshuo. In fact, the stirrups have appeared in the spring and autumn period, mainly single-leg stirrups that can be easily mounted on horseback, but I don’t know why they are not made into double-leg stirrups.

The Han army had been at war with Shijie Zhao, and the secrets of those equipment were hard to hide. It was natural to be learned.

"It's okay." Liu Yan was telling the facts: "Even if you are prying into the importance of horseshoes, it is difficult to fully install the productivity of stone jade."

Ran Min is on the front line and can get first-hand information feedback. As Liu Yan said, saddles and stirrups can have many substitutes, and the productivity of horseshoes and stone blocks is simply difficult to popularize.

The two chatted a lot again, mostly talking about the situation in the state of the state. According to Ran Min, after Shi Jie gave up so many states and counties, the tribes and troops shrank to the north, and the fight did not seem easy.

"The king..." Ran Min asked suddenly: "The king has already obtained the jade seal of the country, can he be called the emperor?"

Liu Yan immediately laughed. He knew why Ran Min asked to become emperor. It was no secret that this guy wanted to obtain the king in Han.
