The first time, finally showing the grief of Li Nong against his will, Ran Min, Wei Guo's independence in the Central Plains
In the Kunhua Hall, Ran Min was arranging his armor, and the double-edged spear beside him was polished by the eunuch until it shined brightly. Today Ran Min is going to lead the army to attack the country of Xiang.
At this time, the young chamberlain was attaching the Mingguang Armor to Ran Min. Ran Min asked Fa Rao on the side: "Master Fa, is it a good time to go on an expedition today?"
In the past, the Taoist priest Fa Rao from Dongming Temple was now a guest. He was holding a fly whisk in one hand and counting with the other. He fiddled with the compass and only said: "Your Majesty's expedition today is a good omen. I am very lucky."
General Wei will pacify the remnants of Jiehu and rule the world."
"It's my wish that destiny comes to me, haha." After hearing this, Ran Min laughed and turned to ask the Zhongchang Shi Yan Zhen next to him, "Zhongchang Shi, I have served the former Emperor Zhao for a long time, and I want to compete with the late Emperor Shi to see who is better.
burden?"
Yan Zhen said respectfully: "Your Majesty is so heroic, how can Jie Zhao Yuhu compare with the True Dragon Emperor? The stone is like the morning dew on the grass, which can be destroyed in an instant."
"Zhongchang Shi Miao praised it, don't you know it?" Ran Min raised his arms, and at this time the servant was fastening the armor under his armpits, "The former Zhao Emperor Shi Le said: 'If you meet Emperor Gao, go to the north.
However, we are still competing with Han and Peng to fight for the lead. If we meet Guang warriors, we should drive together in the Central Plains. I don't know who will kill him? 'If I met Shi Le, I would have fought from the north. How could I sit facing south today?"
Yan Zhen didn't say anything. He only stepped forward and arranged Ran Min's armor and said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne to comply with the destiny of heaven and the people of the world. Today is different from the past. If Shi Le were alive today, he could only lead the horse and saddle for Your Majesty."
Fa Rao mocked at the side: "Yan Changshi has a sharp mouth, no wonder the Zhao emperors have survived for several generations?"
Yan Zhen just stood by and became more respectful and silent.
"Well, if the king and his ministers know each other and they are united, the country can be governed. You stay in Yecheng and you must work together in the same boat." After saying that, he picked up the riding whip on the side and called, "Come here, bring my Zhulongmao.
We want to bring peace to the country of Xiang."
After saying that, he left the palace and galloped away in the imperial city.
Yan Zhen looked at Ran Min's retreating figure and only said to Fa Rao: "I have specially prepared vegetarian dishes in the palace, and I also hope that the Taoist priest will give him a favor to show my respect for the virtuous and love for teaching."
After saying this, Yan Zhen gave a signal with his eyes, and a small chamberlain hurried forward to clear the way for Fa Rao.
Fa Rao saw Yan Zhen and wanted to be courteous, but he also wanted to be polite, so he was not polite and just strode forward with his servants.
After a while, Zhao Sheng came in from the side hall and said to Yan Zhen: "Attendant Yan, Ran Min has indeed left the city, and everything in the city is in order. We are only waiting for your order."
Yan Zhen changed his expression at this time, and said with a gloomy face: "Ran Min, the adopted son of the Shi family, is lucky enough to be able to hang the curtain, but he is trying to change his destiny against the will of heaven. It is impossible. Someone sent a letter to the minister Wang Mo, the minister Wang Yan, and the minister
Lang will promote the king, and we will only wait for the Zhao army of Xiang State to advance and join forces together, and then we will take action to occupy Ye City and block Ran Min's return. Such a big event can be decided."
Zhao Sheng, the chamberlain next to him, replied: "Ran Min has always had a brave strategy, and the army of beggars he leads are also elites in hundreds of battles. Should we wait until the battle ahead is decided before proceeding..."
"No, time waits for us not. Now Shi Kun has occupied Handan, and all forces from all directions are besieging Ye City. If we cannot seize the opportunity, we will have no choice but to become subordinates. I have been subordinate to others for a long time, and I don't want to wait any longer."
Seeing his resolute look, Zhao Sheng said, "It's fine that the minister is so resolute. I'll do it now."
Cangting on the outskirts of Yecheng
Inside the tent, Wang Tong just bowed and picked up the letter and said: "Concubine, I have followed your instructions. I have brought the letter to you. Can my father..."
"Kneel down!" Li Tekang just shouted. Then he picked up the letter in Wang Tong's hand and forwarded it to Ran Min.
Ran Min only read it carefully, and then veins popped up on his forehead. He just wanted to tear the letter into pieces. Then he clenched the letter tightly and said slowly: "Since I started the army, I have lived and died with Li Nong. I honestly don't believe that we are like today."
Lift."
Wang Taijin said: "Since ancient times, we have shared hardships and enjoyed happiness together. Li Nong had been in a high position during the Shihu Dynasty, and your Majesty was just a small lieutenant general. Today, your Majesty is on the throne. How can he dare to be a minister?"
.”
Zhang Ai also said: "Now that all the barbarians in Ye City have been lost, only the Han people and my begging army, fortunately to be removed by your majesty, are now occupying important positions in the court. How can the gentry like me?"
Wait for it to be on the same level."
"Li Nongruo only has the ambition to return to Jin Dynasty, I..."
Wang Tai said anxiously: "Now that the matter has come to this, Your Majesty must not be benevolent to women anymore. Shi Jian, Shi Zun Yin Jian is not far away. People in the army hope that the only person who can rival Your Majesty is Li Nong. If he is not eliminated,
, I am afraid that Ye City will be in chaos and the Wei Kingdom will no longer exist."
"Don't I know that if it weren't for Li Nong, I wouldn't be where I am today. His merits are too high to be killed lightly."
"Your Majesty!" Wang Tai still wanted to dissuade him.
Ran Min sighed and said: "If Li Nong still agrees with me and has no plans to rebel, I will not know about it."
"If your Majesty is in trouble, I will do anything difficult." Suddenly beside Ran Min, Li Tekang said coldly.
"you?"
"Your Majesty, please atone for your sins." Li Tekang knelt down and reported to Ran Min, "Now that Li Nong is doing something, he is relying on the person who killed Hu Ling for the rest of his life. Although Your Majesty has ascended the throne and granted a general amnesty to the world, there are still some Hus among them.
People are terrified, lest what your majesty says is not true, and there are many people who secretly turn against Li Nong. I want to go to the dangerous situation personally to persuade him to change his mind."
Ran Min looked at the young Li Tekang vaguely showing his youthful appearance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He only said: "You still have a great time, but now Yecheng is dangerous. If you go, I'm afraid..."
Li Tekang only said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to delay. If you don't go, I'm afraid Ye City will fall into the hands of the enemy."
Ran Min wanted to persuade him again, but he only heard Wang Tai say: "Your Majesty, the concubine is right. Such a large army will not fight. If it is not so terrifying, the lives of the people will be destroyed. We, the Zhao State, can no longer kill."
Ran Min only pondered for a while, then stood up and looked towards Yecheng in the distance. Then he personally took off his cloak, put it on him, and helped him up. Li Tekang turned around, mounted his horse at full speed, and headed towards Yecheng.
.
Ran Min looked at Li Tekang's back for a long time. Wang Taijin next to him said: "Your Majesty, Hu'er is not the same as me and other Han people. Your Majesty, please be cautious. Please lead the troops to stay calm and slowly march towards Yecheng."
March on."
Ran Min closed his eyes for a long time, then slowly took a breath and said: "General Wang, go, I hope there will be no more killings in Yecheng."
Late that night, in Wang Mo's mansion, all the dead Hu tribesmen who had been hiding for a long time stood in the center of the mansion to listen to Wang Mo's instructions.
Wang Mo lectured in front of the hall: "Ran Min betrayed his old master, stole the sacred weapon, killed all the barbarians, and filled the Zhang River with blood. His evil deeds are too numerous to write down."
Wang Yan also said from the side: "Your father, brother, wife and family all died at the hands of Ran Min. Today, the time for you to take revenge has come."
As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, Wang Mo picked up the sword, pulled it out, and raised it to heaven: "Now Ran Min's army is out, Ye city is empty, and the armies are unprepared. This good opportunity will come again. Please follow me to destroy Ran Min."
.”
Most of these dead soldiers were the survivors after killing Hu Ling. After hearing Wang Mo's instructions, they shouted in unison: "Swear to destroy Ran Min."
At this moment, the third son of Li Nong's family came in a hurry and said hurriedly
"Shang Shuling, didn't we agree that today Ran Min will lead the army out, and we will lead the army back to the Jin Dynasty?"
Wang Yan, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "My nephew is so naive. Our achievements are all here today. You want us to commit ourselves to the imperial family and live under others?"
The Third Young Master said anxiously: "My lord, you must not conspire with these barbarians, my lord."
Wang Mo only ordered: "Take him down."
At this time, a chamberlain in the palace hurried over and handed the letter to Wang Yan. Wang Yan read it and was overjoyed. He only said: "Now that the imperial chamberlain Yan Zhen has come to the palace, both inside and outside the palace, I am worried about Yecheng."
Then he said to the dead men in the mansion: "Wang Yan, lead the troops to attack the three gates of Fengyang, Zhongyang and Guangyang. The entire army will be arrayed on the north bank of Changshui River to block Ran Min's return and cut off all contact between the city and Ran Min's army."
"I led one of my troops to Li Nong's mansion and asked him to take control of the beggar garrison in the city."
Wang Yan said anxiously: "Shang Shuling, now we have done all we can to defend Yecheng Pass, why do we need Li Nong's help?"
Wang Mo only said: "Li Nong's reputation among the beggar army is no less than that of Ran Min. Now only Li Nong can control the overall situation in Ye City. We must respect Li Nong."
Wang Yan only said: "Forget it, it depends on whether Xiangguo's soldiers can contain Ran Min's army. If Ran Min's army returns to the capital, I don't know if the two or three thousand dead soldiers can control the situation."
Wang Mo only smiled slightly and said: "Wang Shizhong, you are worrying too much. The current situation is almost like the change in Gaopingling in the previous dynasty. Ran Min is now entrusted with power. We only need to seize the city defense of Yecheng and take his mother Wang and his wife
Dong, the enemy is defeated."
At this time, the whole city of Ye was under martial law. Inside the palace, the palace was strictly forbidden. The chief minister Yan Zhen was in charge. Zhao Sheng sent people to seal the palace gates so that no one else could come out.
Within the palace city, in the Taiwu Hall, Yan Zhen, Zhao Sheng, and Wang Mo were all waiting together, waiting for Wang Yan to 'invite' Li Nong to issue the order.
Just one of the servants came over and reported to Yan Zhen: "Li Nong has arrived at the Duanmen of Ye Palace."
Yan Zhen stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, Li Nong is here ready for everything. We are planning something big in one fell swoop."
Yes, Wang Mo just stepped forward and touched the throne and said: "Nowadays, many people have changed their owners in Yecheng. I don't know who will sit on this throne again."
Wang Mo smiled and said: "The situation forces Li Nong to commit himself to us."
At this time, the little chamberlain looked nervous and said in a panic: "Li Nong came on his own, and Wang Yan was missing."
Wang Mo asked doubtfully: "Where is Wang Yan?"
"Wang Yan, here!" A figure appeared at the palace gate, holding a bloody bag in his right hand. It was Li Nong.
Behind him was a handsome young man. Yan Zhen, who was sharp-eyed, recognized him and said, "That man, that man is Li Tekang, the concubine next to Your Majesty."
Li Nong only turned around and threw the bag on the ground, which turned out to be Wang Yan's head.
Wang Mo could only stand unsteadily, and immediately said sharply: "Li Sikong, you, you actually did this to Wang Yan. Come on, please chop off this culprit."
Several dead soldiers beside Wang Mo were about to step forward when they heard Li Tekang yelling loudly: "Don't become the lackeys of the Han people."
The dead man was stunned for a moment when he saw a man next to Li Tekang step forward and say, "Brother, we have already made it through and have a way to survive, so we don't need to be an accomplice."
Those dead soldiers were suspicious, and Wang Mo cursed fiercely: "What's the way to survive? Don't listen to his lies. Ran Min will not spare you lightly. Hurry, kill him quickly."
The dead soldiers had known that there was no way to survive, but when they heard a glimmer of hope, such as a small boat in the stormy waves, they almost wanted to hold on to it, but abandoned their swords and stepped forward and said: "We are willing to return."
In just a moment, the sergeant next to Li Nong stepped forward, captured Wang Mo, Yan Zhen, Zhao Sheng and others and took them down.
Wang Mo passed by Li Nong and just smiled and said: "Li Sikong, I will kill you today. I'm afraid you won't survive for a few days."
The eldest son next to Li Nong only looked at Wang Mo with disdain and said: "Struggle to the death, messing with people's minds, take him away."
Bystanders only pulled Wang Mo and others out of the hall, only to hear a "pop" sound, and the heads of the three of them fell to the ground.
At this time, the third young master limped over from outside and said with a smile: "It is not a pity for these people to die. Now that the internal troubles have been eliminated, my father will have nothing to worry about. We will set off to return to the Jin Dynasty as soon as possible."
The eldest son felt sad in his heart and said: "After all, he is an important minister of the three dynasties. How can we be so indifferent when it ends like this?"
The third young master smiled and said: "Brother, you are overthinking. In this troubled world, I don't know how long it will take for us to be able to take care of ourselves."
Then he bowed to Li Tekang next to him and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Bastard, we can finally escape from danger."
The Third Young Master only went to Li Nong and said, "Father, we have to thank the concubine."
Li Nong had the city in his heart, but he was not happy. He only pushed the three young masters to come to Li Tekang and asked: "The feud between Hu and Han has been accumulated for a long time. Although Ran Min, the lord of Wei, has granted amnesty to the world, there are still many Hus who can beg for their lives."
The army is hostile, and they don’t know what promises the concubine has made to them. What kind of 'way to survive'"
Li Tekang only said: "As Li Sikong said, he gave them a 'way to survive.'" After saying this, Li Tekang's face was cloudy and uncertain, like thick clouds before a storm.
Li Nong was immediately alert and said: "I don't feel pity. I only hope that for the sake of my protection, my sons will be given a way to survive."
The third young master came over at this time and said jokingly: "Father, what are you talking about? You are still alive now. You are out of danger. I see, there is no need to go to the Jin Dynasty anymore."
At this time, the eldest son also noticed something strange and hurriedly said: "Third brother, don't talk too much."
At this time, a group of dead soldiers surrounded Li Nong and his son. Li Tekang only heard Li Tekang say: "Master Li was loyal to the country and killed several thieves. Unfortunately, he was injured by Wang Mo and died of his injuries."
.”
"Sure enough." Li Nong laughed and said, "It seems that Hu and Han cannot agree. It can only be a daydream."
Li Tekang shouted: "Yao Yi, Yao Ruo, send Master Li and his family on their way."
