Chapter 500

Where there are people, there will be Jianghu. It's not wrong at all.

Jianghu can be interpreted in many ways. As small as a family, children prefer their father or mother, or a group of small partners, there must be one or more leaders. On a large level, there must be many interest groups in a country.

Ran min will undoubtedly be the leader of an interest group. Those who originally belonged to the state of Ran's Qin took a stand and took refuge with the powerful after being liberated. As a result, the interest group led by ran min recovered after losing the country.

"The king called the Lord to report to Xiangguo?" Liu Yi was not an official of the state of Han, but a private aide of the northern shogunate as ran min's minister. He was frowning at the moment: "the Corps has been renovated, and now he has called the Lord to report on his work, isn't it... What's hard to know?"

Jiang Gan, Miao song, Dai Shi and other ministers originally belonging to the state of Ran Qin chose to become ran min's family ministers after the state of Ran Qin was merged into the state of Han. Everything naturally took ran min's as the starting point and considered ran min's safety and the interests of the group.

"The reason why the king went north was that the Lord's command expanded too much. After the king arrived, the Lord obeyed his orders." Miao song smiled and said, "if you say something difficult to understand, you don't have to worry."

Miao song had explained the changes of the situation in advance, and directly stated that Liu Yan was not an easy suspect. It can even be said that Liu Yan would not kill his ministers as long as he didn't want to die too much. He even said privately to ran Min that he found that Liu Yan appreciated the ministers with Han nationalism, and ran min really worked hard to kill Hu in the later stage no matter what happened in the early stage.

"As expected, it must be the counterattack of the Hu people. The war center on the north line needs to re plan the war zone." Jiang Gan's new words were learned only after he came to the state of Han. He said: "before the king asked the Lord to take charge of the north line war, we can see that he has great trust and attaches great importance to the Lord. This time, Shijie, Murong Xianbei and even Liangguo may work together to take charge of the North shogunate."

As a general, ran min's military power should be the largest in the Han Dynasty. At one time, it expanded to nearly 500000. Later, the Central Center ordered the selection of the northern shogunate, and there were 240000, 40000 more than Xu Zheng, the southern general who followed Liu Yan's rise in the end.

If someone else, as a subordinate, would be flustered if there were too many troops in his hands. He was deeply afraid that the king would be suspicious all the time. Maybe one day he would die of the king's suspicion, but ran min seemed to have no similar worries.

"The king has treated me very well, and I have never wanted to betray the king." Ran Min said with a smile: "the body is not afraid of the shadow. Naturally, there is no fear."

After hearing what ran Min said, many ministers were relieved. What they were afraid of was that ran min couldn't see the situation clearly and really gave birth to the idea of rebellion and self-reliance.

In reality, ran min did not have the capital to betray. As long as Liu Yan did not allocate the Quartermaster Equipment and food, it would be cut off. The main force of the Northern Expedition Corps was not from the original Ran's Qin army, but from the reorganization of several Han armies. After the reorganization, the original Ran's Qin army was included in the shogunate of the general of the southern expedition. Although the Central Plains people who took refuge in ran min after the restoration were included in ran min's interest group, they went to the Han state rather than ran min himself.

"In this way, the Lord is naturally carefree. Just..." Liu Yi dragged an ending and said unhappily: "the Zheng family attached to the right prime minister must chew more."

The so-called Zheng family is a family in Xingyang, and its strength is up to the level of aristocratic family. Before the Han army recovered Xingyang, it had long borrowed the Sang family to join the Han state, and made great efforts when the Han army recovered Xingyang county. After being instructed by sang Yu, this family cooperated with the actions of the state of Han and took the initiative to hand over the land outside the regulations. Dingkou and others also cooperated with the registration. Later, Liu Yan also gave other conveniences in view of the credit and cooperation of the Zheng family.

If history does not change and the timeline goes back hundreds of years, the Zheng family in Xingyang will be a famous family in the Li and Tang Dynasties, ranking among the "five surnames and seven hopes".

In fact, many of the famous families in the Li and Tang Dynasties began to develop after the chaos of the five Hu and China. In the northern and Southern Dynasties, they used various means to grow and grow. Waiting until the Yang and Sui dynasties, they had expanded into giants. Some famous families collapsed or weakened in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the so-called "five surnames and seven hopes" grew again in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Even if the Li family in Longxi got the world, he was extremely afraid.

After the Yang family in Xingyang county was incorporated into the Han state, they chose ran min as their backer. The two families had many contradictions as early as the rule of Shijie. After Xingyang County became the territory of the Han state, the two families should have been dormant. The problem is that the Zheng family thinks that sang Yu, the right prime minister, is their backer. It seems that Liu Yan also gives preferential treatment to the Zheng family. As a result, the Zheng family can't bear it first, The result of the struggle was that ran min's intervention led to the complete defeat of the Zheng family.

The Yang family is an old family. It can be traced back to the generation of Yang Biao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They first suffered heavy losses during the disorderly administration of Dong Zhuo, and then suffered a comprehensive decline because of Yang Xiu's death in the Cao Wei period. When Sima family usurped the throne and established the Jin court, they were restored because they were determined by their family background, The problem is that it declined rapidly after the rule of Xiongnu and Shijie.

"They started first. Who's to blame?" Ran Min said indifferently, "when I arrive in Xiangguo, I will naturally explain it to the right prime minister."

For a time, all the ministers felt speechless. They always knew that ran min's political ability was blank, and it was useless to teach and remind repeatedly. In some ways, they are also glad that ran min is politically naive, just because the current ruler is Liu Yan.

There was another discussion, waiting for someone to report that he was ready. Ran min just took Jiang Gan as his personal aide and 500 horses as his escort and went straight to Xiangguo.

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

"Why didn't the king stay in the palace?" Ran min was very dusty on his way. Liu Yan was stunned by the first sentence. Later, he said, "I heard some gossip. It's said that the king and many women placed in the palace city are singing night and night. It's really time to pull out their tongues."

Yecheng and the palace city of Xiang state together settled more than 30000 women. They were all forcibly abducted by stone tigers. They should have been released home, but some women who returned home suffered tragic misfortune. Later, Liu Yan took some measures to let those women choose whether to return or not. As a result, only a few people were willing to return to their hometown.

In fact, if history had not changed, the original fate of the women abducted by Shi Hu would have been very tragic. After ran min established the state of Wei, Shi Jie and Murong Xianbei came to attack. The besieged Yecheng lacked food and could only eat people. It became a common phenomenon at that time that Yi Zi ate or ate corpses. More than 30000 women were eaten. Waiting for ran min's defeat, they were accepted by Murong Yanjun, raped and raped by two legged sheep, and the only thousands of people were driven into the river and drowned in Youzhou.

"Never was so open-ended." Liu Yan was not angry. He asked ran min to find a place to sit down and stand beside the mountain map thinking about what. Waiting for a little while, he turned to see ran min filling with a kettle. He first told Xun Xian to prepare food in the afternoon. Then he said to ran Min: "Shijie and Murong Xianbei are going to fight back. Call Yong Zeng to report on his work. Second, he wants to hear Yong Zeng's opinions."

"The Han sent a large army to invade the puppet Dynasty in the south. The Hu people thought that the Han had a shortage of troops on the north line, so it was not surprising to gather troops." Ran min put down the kettle and said carelessly, "I'll come as soon as I come. I should cut Yin Bi's head and present it to the king."

Liu Yan heard a burst of "ha ha" Laughter: "it's Yongzeng's style."

In fact, Liu Yan was more or less worried that ran min would think more in advance. When he heard that he was going to present Yin Bi's head, he naturally heard that ran min guessed and did not resist what arrangement the center would have.

"If Murong Xianbei is on the defensive and the minister is fully responsible for the north line, there will be no problem." Ran min looked straight at Liu Yan and said, "Shijie and Murong invited each other to fight back. Youzhou is too far from the minister's shogunate. The king should build another shogunate to deal with it."

Liu Yan also looked at ran min, nodded and said, "I'm very glad that I can always think so."

"In many riding battles, Shijie has spied on many advantages of saddle, stirrup and horseshoe. In recent battles, Shijie cavalry have been equipped with similar equipment." Ran min's Northern Expedition regiment has nearly 70000 cavalry under its command. It has lost more than 10000 in the past year and has not been able to be supplemented. He said bluntly, "the big man doesn't lack good horses. What he lacks is excellent knights. I think I can recruit naturalized Hu soldiers who are good at riding, so as to maintain an advantage in riding."

The saddle has been there for a long time, but the style is different. Stirrups and horseshoes were cavalry equipped with the Han Army in the second year of Yuanshuo. In fact, stirrups have also appeared in the spring and Autumn period, mainly one legged stirrups that are convenient for getting on the horse's back, but I don't know why they haven't been made into two legged stirrups.

The Han Army has been fighting with the state of Zhao in Shijie. The secrets of those equipment are difficult to hide. It is natural to be learned.

"No harm." Liu Yan is telling the truth: "even if it is to spy on the importance of horseshoes, it is difficult to fully display the productivity of Shijie."

Ran min is in the front line and can get first-hand information feedback. In fact, as Liu Yan said, there are many substitutes for saddles and stirrups, and it is difficult to popularize horseshoes with Shijie's productivity.

The two chatted a lot. They mostly talked about the war situation in Bingzhou. According to ran min, after Shijie gave up so many states and counties, the troops and troops shrank to the north, and it was not easy to fight.

"The king..." ran min asked suddenly, "the king has obtained the imperial seal. Can he be called emperor?"

Liu Yanli burst into laughter. He knew why ran min asked him to be emperor. It was no secret that this guy wanted to win the Lord Wang in the Han country.
