Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 185 As Meticulous as a Hair

Chapter 189

At this time, Ran Ming was not as nervous as before the war.Instead, he took Wang Zhi to the bank of the Yihe River and carved a lifelike ice sculpture on the ice with a carving knife.

"Elder Sister, look at how His Highness's sculpture looks like a woman!" Luan Guard Sima Baifeng said to Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi was not in a good mood, he had been following Ran Ming for several months, he fought day and night, but he did not achieve anything, and his lower abdomen is still as flat as before.

This made Wang Zhimu's idea of ​​relying on her son expensive!
Wang Zhi quietly said to Bai Feng: "My one is here again!"

"how could it be possible!"

"Could it be..."

"I don't know what to do?" Wang Zhilei suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of me, we are good sisters, why don't you help me?"

"How can I help? How can I help with this kind of thing!" Bai Feng has never had any scruples in front of Wang Zhi. This was the case before, and it is even more so now!
Wang Zhilei opened her mouth, but before she could speak, suddenly a group of cavalry came running fast.

"His Royal Highness New City urgent report!"

Ran Ming threw away the carving knife in his hand, took a deep breath, looked at the ice sculpture he had completed, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

It will take more than 60 years for the Longmen Grottoes to be built, and at this time Ran Ming just wants to make a spoof and make himself the earliest developer of the Longmen Grottoes!

However, Ran Ming is not omnipotent, his engraving skills are really bad, I am afraid he himself did not recognize what it is engraved, it is simply more abstract than the abstract paintings of later generations!
Ran Ming opened the battle report, this is Zhang Yu's battle report!

In the Battle of Xincheng, Zhang Yu lost about 3000 men, of which more than [-] were killed.The results of the battle are not small. The Jin army abandoned more than a thousand corpses in Xincheng, and the exact number of the wounded is unknown.

Ran Ming was still worried that Zhang Yu would disrupt his plan.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Yu violated Ran Ming's order and hit the right side instead. Because of his desperate resistance and never retreating, Huan Wen realized that Wei Jun hadn't done a good job in Luoyang's retreat. Time to get Luoyang City!

Huan Wen thought a lot about it. First of all, he reached a settlement with Wei Guo, even if Wei Guo gave him all the south of the Yellow River.The Luoyang he let out was not the same as the Luoyang he brought down.Besides, Huan Wen also thought that if Luoyang is captured now, there might be unexpected gains!

After receiving Mao Husheng's battle report again, Huan Wen no longer had any worries, and ordered the army to come out.

On the ninth day of the first month of the fourth year of Yongxing, more than [-] troops led by Huan Wen left Luyang and headed for Luhun County.

Most of Huanwen marched forward in a mighty way, but no one noticed a slight movement on the snowdrift beside the official road. This was a secret post of the Wei army and the Luozhou new army. The pit is divided into upper and lower floors, and the top is disguised with snow, but it is actually a den that can accommodate two people. Even if it is only a few steps away from the official road, and even a few soldiers who have left the team are relieved by the side, but there is no one. Someone found this secret whistle!

The secret sentry A rushed to the other secret sentry and said: "I am watching them here, you hurry up and report to the general. The Jin army is here!"

The other person didn't talk nonsense, turned over and entered the lower floor of Diwozi, and opened a small door from the wall.

In winter, the weather is so cold that dripping water turns into ice. It is too unrealistic to carry out soil work in such cold weather.

However, this did not bother the smart Wei soldiers.

They relied on the direction of the mountain and had no way to dig the ground, so they built a camouflage passage on the ground.Simply put some dead branches on it, cover it with a layer of sackcloth, and then pour boiled water on it. After a while, a natural underground passage is formed.

Coupled with the snow, the traces of the previous camouflage could not be seen overnight.

This soldier turned seven times and eight times, ran more than 200 steps in the tunnel, and finally climbed out of the ground passage. At this time, the Jin army below could no longer see him.

"Lieutenant, the main force of the Jin army has entered Luhun, when will it attack?"

Chen Yong said: "Don't be in a hurry now, continue to lurk, secretly observe the movement of the Jin army, prepare for battle at any time, and wait for the attack order!"

Luyang is only more than 100 miles away from Luhun, but Huanwen's army carried a large amount of food, grass and various supplies, so the speed was very slow.

The future generations only need half an hour's drive away, and Huan Wen's army walked for three days!

When Huan Wen arrived at Luhun City, Zhou Zan, the captain of the city guard, led the crowd to visit Huan Wen!

Zhou Zan said, "The humble profession has arranged a banquet in the city, please invite Da Sima to the city for the banquet!"

Zhou Zan is just a small cavalry captain, and he can't get into Huan Wen's eyes at all!Originally, there was no need for Huan Wen to be courteous with him.

Huan Wen was concerned about the war in Xincheng, and didn't want to stay in Lu Hun too much, but as far as he could see, an accident happened to Huan Wen!Zhou Zan is eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance and a good appearance.Huan Wen also noticed Zhou Zan's attitude. He was not like other low-level military officers who were panicked in front of him.

Huan Wen asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Zhou Zan clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Zan of a certain family, from Yixing!"

Huan Wen smiled and said, "Yixing Zhou's family, so that's the case, so General Pingxi Zhou Xiaohou is?"

Zhou Chu was awarded the title of "General Pingxi" after his death.Because of Zhou Chu's posthumous title of "filial piety", he was later granted the title of "king".

So later generations also called Zhou Chu as Zhou Xiaohou or Zhou Xiaowang!
"That's great-grandfather!"

"No wonder, no wonder, it turned out to be from a family of generals, the Empress of Zhongliang." Huan Wen nodded and saw Zhou Zan's mighty appearance and good appearance, and he immediately had a heart for talents.

Huan Wen said: "Wen Zhong's army still lacks a tooth door. I wonder if Zhou Zan is willing to give in?"

General Yamen is also one of the miscellaneous generals.This miscellaneous general was placed by Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty, and was granted to Zhao Yun in Changbanpo, and later to Wei Ting.Later, both Cao Wei and Eastern Wu extended this official system.

In history, no one has held the position of General Yamen as much as Ran Min. In Ran Min's last [-] plays, more than half of the soldiers are General Yamen, and more than two-thirds of the soldiers are related internal officers. knighthood.

We may be very familiar with this dental goalkeeper.But his function is very important.The functions of General Yamen and General Wei are similar, and some functions even overlap.This requires not only his loyalty, but also otherworldly abilities.It can not only serve as a staff officer, but also command the pro-army to fight.In layman's terms, this General Yamen seems to be the head of the Central Guard Regiment of later generations!
Zhou Zan was tempted at that time, he didn't think about getting promoted and getting rich, but he thought that by doing this, he could get closer to Huan Wen and fulfill Mao Anzhi's mission better!

Zhou Zan said: "What kind of virtue can you do in a humble job?"

This is a common problem of Chinese people.Obviously thinking about it, but they want to say what virtue and ability. Generally speaking, people who say what virtue and ability are often thinking in their hearts: whoever is superior to me.Huan Wen smiled and said nothing.

Instead of staying in Luhun more, they transported the luggage and food to Luhun City for storage, and the troops passed through the city!

Huan Wen sent Gao Wu, the protector of the army, to lead [-] elite troops in the front, Huan Wen was in the middle of the battle, and Zhu Xudian was in the rear!The north wind howled and the flags fluttered.

Sitting on the horse, Huan Wen looked very high-spirited!However, if you observe carefully, you can see that Huan Wen still has a faint worry under his high spirits.Although Huan Wen left Xi Chao in Wancheng, he was not without counselors.The counselor by his side at this time is Meng Jia, whose name is Wannian!

There is also a historical allusion about this person, which is called Longshan Luomao.Describe the popularity of magnificent, calm in the face of chaos.

If Xi Chao is described as Huan Wen's genius Guo Jia, then Meng Jia is a combination of Jia Xu and Guo Jia.Meng Jia has a lot of quick wit and means, but like Jia Xu, he plans everything beforehand and then seeks the master!
Meng Jia laughed and said, "What is Duke Ming worried about?"

Huan Wen smiled slightly, "Wannian, you can see it!"

"Jia is not blind, Yanneng doesn't know!" Meng Jia continued: "The general entrusted Zhou Zan with a heavy responsibility when he first saw him, and he didn't make any investigations. You must be worried about Lu Hun!"

"It's a joke for ten thousand years!" Huan Wen said with a smile: "Recently, I'm a rascal in my free time, and I just read a book!"

Huan Wen raised his hand, and "36 Strategies" was impressively written on the title page of the book.

Huan Wen sighed and said: "I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. I have been a soldier for a lifetime, but there is no such thing as Ran Ming who has a clear understanding of military affairs. Ran Ming can write such a wonderful book of war. Wouldn't he use surprises to win?" ? Lu Hun's strategic position is too important to allow any mistakes, so Lu Hun must be in the hands of the person I trust the most."

"Then how did Duke Ming determine that Zhou Zan is unreliable?" Meng Jia laughed.

"It's very simple!" Huan Wen raised the book in his hand and said, "Details determine success or failure. It's the details. Doesn't Wannian feel that Zhou Zan is too calm? General Yamen, who was suddenly promoted from a small riding captain to this general, still It is unreasonable to be indifferent. Moreover, I also feel that Lu Hun's garrison has a deep hostility towards me. Although the murderous aura emanating from them is invisible, it is hard to escape my eyes!"

Meng Jia said: "Zhou Zan is Mao Bao's fake son. Could it be that Mao Muzhi and Mao Anzhi are not trustworthy?"

Huan Wen shook his head and nodded again: "Mao Muzhi, you can believe it without a doubt, but Mao Anzhi knows people, faces, but doesn't know his heart!"

In the final analysis, Huan Wen was old enough, and his tricks were too skillful.

He saw that there was something wrong with Zhou Zan, and there was something wrong with his troops, but Huan Wen didn't show his face. He neither ordered Zhou Zan to be arrested, nor did he make things difficult for him. On the contrary, he directly promoted Zhou Zan.

Under the weight of profit, Zhou Zan may be honest, but if he is not, he will lose his last chance.There will be 5000 soldiers in Huan Wen's family, all of whom are from Qiao, and they are loyal to Huan Wen without any second thoughts.

Even if Zhou Zan became General Yamen and fought normally, if he wanted to endanger Huan Wen's life, he might not be able to mobilize even a single soldier!

Meng Jia thought for a while and said, "Duke Ming is worried that Luoyang is a trap?"
