Chapter 647: Receiving the Lost Land

Seeing that all the ministers in the main hall were opposed to moving the capital, the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic decided to put the relocation of the capital down in advance and discuss it slowly in the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Hua still has one more thing in the letter, that is, to recruit Ran Min, I don't know if you think it is feasible?" Chu Lianzi looked at the ministers and asked softly.

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other a few times, and they all pursed their lips and shook their heads, in the hearts of the ministers, Ran Min is a strong martial arts horseman, and he is a ruthless character, and he can't surrender at all.

A minister hugged his fists and said: "Queen Mother, Ran Min is conceited and heroic, thinking that he is invincible in the world, how can he surrender to my Great Jin, besides, he is the emperor in Yecheng, vainly trying to clear Liuhe, it is really a great rebellion, for a person with wolf ambitions like him, if I take it under his command, it will be a tiger for trouble!" ”

"Yes! The queen mother, Ran Min is extremely vicious in his heart, he was originally Shi Hu's adopted grandson, although the Shi family is cruel and unkind, but he has the grace of nurturing him, and Ran Min not only does not repay the Shi family's nurturing grace, but will take revenge, kill all the descendants of the Shi family, and let Shi Hu die, such a vicious role, how can I be under the command of Dajin. Another minister said.

"Queen Mother, on the day Ran Min ascended the throne, in and outside Yecheng, in the name of slaughtering Hu, he killed 200,000 innocent people. A minister said excitedly.

Chu Lianzi was also shocked when she heard this, she had also heard about Ran Min's massacre of 200,000 people around Yecheng, although Ran Min slaughtered all the people of the Hu nationality, but even so, killing 200,000 ordinary people in one breath was enough to show Ran Min's ruthlessness. She is a woman's family, and she has lived in the city south of the Yangtze River for many years, so she naturally can't understand the sharp contradictions between the various ethnic groups in the north, let alone understand the profound reasons why Ran Min slaughtered Hu.

"Since you think that Ran Min cannot be surrendered, but should be exterminated, then how many troops should I send to destroy Ran Min?" Chu Lianzi looked at the ministers and asked.

As soon as he heard that Chu Garlic had plans to send troops to attack Ran Min, the ministers in the court were not happy again, though. They were hostile to Ran Min. But if it is a crusade against Ran Min, a large number of troops must be mobilized, and materials such as grain and grass need to be allocated by Jiangnan, so that it will be allocated. It will inevitably harm the interests of their people. For this. All are against it.

A minister hugged his fists and said: "Empress Dowager Qi, exterminate Ran Min, there is no need for me to do it personally." At present, King Yan has led the main army to the south, Ran Min has been fighting for many years, there is an extreme lack of grain and grass, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and it is by no means the opponent of the Yan army. ”

What this minister said is also the truth, if there is no food and grass support, Ran Min's Wei State is indeed about to be unable to support it, and today, only Ran Min and Sima Dan, the emperor of the Great Jin, are called emperors, as long as Ran Min is defeated, there will be only one emperor in the world, and the forces such as Yan and Liang are all subjects of the Great Jin.

"Queen Mother, the army of Yan and Ran Min fought each other, the result must be one dead and one wounded, and in this way, my Great Jin can sit on the benefits of the fisherman, at present, many generals of the Wei State asked for surrender, which is the best proof, the top priority of our army is to immediately send soldiers and horses to receive Yan and Qingshu Prefectures, and all the south of the Yellow River will be owned by my Great Jin." Another minister said.

Hearing this, Chu Lianzi nodded, and said: "Since the Qing family has the same opinion, and the mourning family has no opinion, do you have anything else to say about receiving the land of Yan, Qing, Henan, and Xuzhou?" ”

"Queen Mother, the generals of Wei will take refuge together, I need to receive too much land in the Great Jin, and I should send a number of generals to receive it together to avoid unexpected situations." A minister said cautiously.

The unexpected situation mentioned by the minister naturally included many aspects, not only to guard against the fraudulent surrender of the Wei generals, but also to prevent the main army of Wei from suddenly crossing the river north of the Yellow River to attack.

"The Queen Mother, General Hua, General Huan, and General Yin, each have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, which are enough to be competent for the task of receiving the lost land, so it is better to let the three generals go together to receive the lost land, so that there must be no mistakes." A minister clenched his fists and said.

Hearing this, Chu Lianzi nodded, and agreed: "The mourning family thinks it is feasible, so let these three generals go to receive the lost land south of the Yellow River." ”

"Queen Mother, just accept the lost territory of Sizhou and let General Huan and General Yin's troops and horses, and General Hua's soldiers and horses don't have to participate." Suddenly, a minister objected.

"Why do you want to leave General Hua alone?" Chu Garlic hurriedly asked.

The minister clasped his fists and explained: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, now, all the generals of my Great Jin Dynasty, with General Hua having the most land under his jurisdiction, all of Liangzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou, most of Sizhou and Bingzhou are under his control, if he is allowed to enter Yanzhou again, it will be disadvantageous to the country!" Therefore, His Majesty thought that General Huan was responsible for receiving Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and General Yin was responsible for receiving Xuzhou and Qingzhou, so that the land under the jurisdiction of the three generals was similar and could check and balance each other. ”

When Chu Lianzi heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, although he trusted Hua'an very much, but after all, he had not seen each other for many years, and letting several generals of the Great Jin Dynasty govern the land separately was conducive to the stability of the imperial regime of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"Spread the will of the mourning family, let General Huan immediately send troops to receive all of northern Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and garrison Xuchang, let General Yin immediately lead the army to accept all of northern Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and garrison Langya." Chu Lianzi gave the order in court.

Chu Lianzi's order was soon passed to the base camp of the Jingzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army, and after Huan Wen and Yin Hao received the order, they immediately led the main army under their command all the way north to receive the surrender area of the Wei generals.

#####

At this moment, in the palace of Yecheng, Ran Min received a letter from the generals, these generals had taken refuge in the Great Jin Dynasty, in order to let Ran Min understand the situation, they wrote a letter to send their henchmen to Ran Min.

In the letter, the generals told all the shapes of the Hebei region and the fact that the Great Wei State lacked grain and grass and was difficult to sustain for a long time, and said that they were forced to defect to the Great Jin court, and even persuaded Ran Min to join the Great Jin Dynasty in the letter, so as not to end up in defeat and death.

In fact, the main reason why Ran Min's generals surrendered to the Great Jin Dynasty was because the grain and grass of the Great Wei State were already insufficient, and the elite troops stationed in Yecheng were hungry, and naturally there was no surplus grain and grass to supply the troops south of the Yellow River.

These troops stationed south of the Yellow River, in the absence of food and grass supply, naturally could not endure for long, the people take food as the sky, the same is true of the soldiers, after enduring for several months, these officers and soldiers in order to be able to survive, they surrendered to the Jin court, because the Jiangnan court has enough grain and grass to supply them, so that they can eat and drink enough.

After reading the letters sent by the generals, Ran Min was furious, these former beloved generals, not only betrayed themselves, but also ridiculed themselves, let themselves bend their knees and surrender, as an emperor, this is unbearable, although, Ran Min also knows his current dangerous situation, but he believes in his own force, believes in the strong combat effectiveness of the beggar warriors under his command, he believes that as long as he is alive, the Great Wei State will not be destroyed, and the enemy's conspiracy will never succeed.

"Your Majesty, these soft bones are really hateful, our army should immediately gather the main force of soldiers and horses, cross the Henan expedition, and behead these surrendered soft bones to show the public." A beggar army general shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, by all means, the main army of 200,000 people of Yan State has already moved south, and General Wang, who is sticking to the direction of Lukou, has been in a hurry many times, at this time, our army must not cross the Henan expedition, so as not to suffer the enemy on the back!" Before Ran Min could express his position, another general of the begging army objected.

Ran Min thought for a moment, and said: "Forget it, Zhou Cheng, Zhang Yu and others, the reason why they defected to the Jin State is because my army is short of food and grass, and this can't all be blamed on them, now, Murong Jun's Yan State army is the mortal enemy of my Great Wei State." ”

"Your Majesty, at present, there is an extreme shortage of grain and grass in my Great Wei Kingdom, and the soldiers can only eat half full, so the situation can be described as extremely critical, if you can't get enough food and grass, there is no need for the enemy to attack, and our army should collapse without attacking!" A general said worriedly.

When Ran Min heard this, his brows furrowed into a big pimple, paused, and asked, "Yecheng has enough gold and silver treasures, why don't you buy more grain and grass?" ”

The general said helplessly: "The emperor doesn't know, the Jin army has blocked the border, and no matter how much money our army has, it can't buy much grain and grass, besides, the problem of food shortage, just buying can't fundamentally solve the problem!" The day when the money and gold are always used up. ”

"Your Majesty, according to the scouts, the Jin army has hoarded 100,000 denier of military rations in Luoyang City, it is better for the main force of our army to raid Luoyang south of the Yellow River and snatch grain and grass from the hands of the Jin army, so that the problem of lack of food in our army can be temporarily solved." A beggar army general said loudly.

"Your Majesty, no! Near Luoyang, the Jin army had as many as 150,000 troops, and our army rushed south, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to win. Another general immediately objected.

"If not, how can we solve the problem of food shortage in our army? We must not let all my soldiers starve to death! A beggar army general said helplessly.

Ran Min sighed in the sky, on the battlefield, he is an invincible general, no enemy can stop his footsteps, but now the problem of lack of grain and grass has really stumped him, in the environment of no moon and no war in Hebei, the common people have no intention of growing grain, and this situation will inevitably lead to the extreme shortage of food in the Great Wei State, which is an unsolvable problem, and no one can do anything about it.
