Chapter 204 Pretending to be a ghost

Although the Wei army has a large number of recruits, there are thousands of battle-tested direct lineages from Ran Min's lineage as the backbone. The old lead the new, and with the bloody battle in Bingzhou, it has slowly grown into an elite force.

These Wei troops attacked like a storm, and their retreat was equally smooth.

Seeing Wei Jun receding like diving, Xi Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the first battle that Xi Chao personally commanded.It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous.

At this moment, Mao Husheng and Zhou Chu, the tiger generals of Xifu who came after hearing the order, came to Xi Chao with dozens of soldiers in armor.

"It's really unlucky that the Wei army has retreated!" Zhou Chu is Huan Wen's confidant general.

Mao Husheng looked at the wounded soldiers wailing all over the ground, with stumped limbs and broken arms mixed with ice and snow, showing a cold expression: "How much is the loss?"

Xi Chao sighed, "The incident happened suddenly, our army was completely unprepared, and the detailed battle report has not yet been calculated, but in Chao's opinion, it is estimated that the number of killed soldiers should be less than [-], and the wounded are very serious!"

Huan Wen, who was ill, learned of the surprise attack by the Wei army, seriously injured, and more importantly, morale dropped sharply.

Looking at the demoralized soldiers, I was very worried.Immediately, Huan Wen dragged the counselors and generals to discuss the matter.

Huan Wen was very surprised at how the Wei army made a surprise attack at this time. It stands to reason that it is too early for the two armies to fight decisively. Moreover, the reinforcements from the Wei army came from Huguan, and it would take at least ten days to rest.

Huan Wen expressed his doubts in front of everyone.

Joining the army, Yuan Hong said: "There is no one else that Wei Zhi is planning. It must be here to hold back the main force of our West Army, and create an opportunity for Wei Zhi's general Dong Run to seize Qiaojun, Chenjun, and Yingchuan. "

Yuan Hong's reason is also very simple. In the three counties of Qiaojun, Chenjun, and Yingchuan, the Jin army has almost no defensive force. As long as the Wei army arrives, they can occupy these places without bloodshed.

Yuan Zhen and Huan Wen, governor of Yuzhou, were not of the same mind.

Huan Wen didn't take this person Yuan Zhen to heart, he was a short-sighted and incompetent person with great ambitions and few talents.Besides, Deng Xia was with Yuan Zhen, and with Deng Xia's ability, Yuan Zhen definitely had no chance.

Huan Wen suddenly asked: "At this time when the Wei army is attacking, is it possible to raid our Jingxiang hinterland? If it is possible, how will Wen Dang respond?"

Xi Chao said: "Duke Ming is wise, but this is impossible! In this northern expedition, although a large number of Jingxiang troops went north, there were still more than [-] infantry and [-] sailors left. At this time, Huan Huo was originally the servant of the Huangmen, and later turned into the head of the official department. After Huanwen's Northern Expedition, Huan Wen was worried that his old lair would be raided, so he asked Huan Huo to work for Jingzhou Biejia, in charge of military affairs) A man of soldiers. Unless Ran Min is determined to fight Minggong decisively and devote all his strength to marching south, it is not worth thinking about. Besides, if Jingxiang is to be conquered, the navy must be used, and Wei's navy is still in Qingzhou..."

Huan Wen nodded and said: "The guest (Xi Chao's name) thinks that Ran Min is not unwilling to go south, but because he is incapable?"

Xi Chao nodded, "Duke Ming is wise!"

Huan Wen looked at Meng Jia again, and said with a smile, "How about Wannian?"

"Although the Wei army's attack is extremely sharp, it has no intention of fighting Minggong!" Meng Jia continued: "The Wei army's army going south has about [-] soldiers. It is different from the army of the king of Chu. It is a powerful army. This move should be a show of prestige , Let Ming Gong know the difficulty and retreat."

"Retire in the face of difficulty?" Huan Wen said angrily, "Ran Min is too arrogant!"

"General, the last general invites you to fight! The last general is willing to lead an army to attack Luoyang, and he will definitely defeat the Wei army, and teach him not to underestimate our Xifu army again!" Zhou Chu clasped his fists and said.

Huan Wen also felt that if he avoids fighting instead of fighting, the morale of his troops will continue to drop.At that time, I am afraid that even if you want to retreat, you will suffer heavy losses.

Huan Wen immediately agreed to Zhou Chu's request to fight.Zhou Chu was ordered to lead his [-] troops to attack Luoyang.

When Huan Wen attacked Luoyang, Ran Ming and his party safely arrived at Luhun Mountain to join Chen Yong!

Seeing Ran Ming and Chen Yong being very excited, he knelt on the ground and said, "Master, you have lost a lot!"

Ran Ming smiled and said, "So is Yong Lang."

Ran Ming, Chen Yong and others entered the tent, and Chen Yong had someone prepare a brazier, hot soup and meat.Ran Ming chatted with Chen Yong for a while while eating and drinking.

Satisfied with food and drink, Ran Ming said, "How is Lu Hun's situation now?"

Chen Yong said excitedly: "Teacher, this disciple has finally opened up the tunnel where the Jin army stores food! Yong is going to do it tomorrow night. He will definitely be able to sneak into the city without anyone noticing it, and burn all the food and grass of the Jin army!"

Originally, before Wei Jun withdrew, Ran Ming had someone dig a tunnel.Although Lu Hun's land is mostly rocky, it was not easy to dig tunnels in the period when there was no gunpowder.

But it didn't bother Ran Ming. Ran Ming asked people to roast the stone with coals, and when the stone turned red, he poured cold water on it.In this way, due to thermal expansion and contraction, the stone will decompose.

Although authentic, but in the center of the city.However, the place where the Jin army stored food was in the north of the city, and it was actually more than three miles away from the city.If Chen Yong set fire to the grain, he would have to face the two battalions of soldiers guarding the granary.

The granary is important, Huan Wen is very careful, and the guards of the Jin army are also very careful, and the patrols are very strict.If the Jin army is alarmed, the sneak attack will turn into a strong attack. Lu Hun still has seven or eight thousand defenders.And equipped with a large number of crossbows, even if Chen Yong will succeed, the loss will definitely be not small.

After much deliberation, Chen Yong finally decided to dig a tunnel.

Fortunately, although there are rocks in the ground in the north of the city, they are quite rare soil in Luhun.In order to reduce the movement, Chen Yong also thought of a very interesting way.Let people sneak into the city.In the city, dozens of flagpoles of the Jin army were secretly replaced.There are multiple small holes in the flagpole that fell off.There is not much movement during the day, but at night, the wind will blow into the small hole of the flagpole, and it will make a sound like howling ghosts and wolves.

The soldiers of the Jin army were very frightened. Due to the interference of this sound, the Jin army actually relaxed their monitoring of the ground.

Ran Ming heard Chen Yong's statement, and said with a smile: "Yong Lang is quite quick-witted!"

Originally, Ran Ming thought that changing the strategy of burning grain and stealing grain from the city would have many difficulties. He didn't want to hear Chen Yong's unintentional actions, but it was convenient for Ran Ming.Ran Ming said: "Nowadays the Great Wei is extremely short of food, it would be a pity if the more than [-] stones of food were burned. Why don't we secretly transport these food out?"

Chen Yong showed a troubled expression on his face, "Master, it is easy to burn the food, but it is too difficult to transport it out. The Jin army will definitely find out, unless we take the city quietly and kill or capture all the Jin troops. "

Ran Ming smiled and said: "As a teacher, I have my own way, just wait and see."

Next, Ran Ming asked people to collect rosin.Rosin is not a rare thing. It is a transparent solid substance after distilling volatile turpentine from the oleoresin of pine trees. It is hard and brittle, and it is yellow or brown amorphous.

Regarding Ran Ming's orders, Chen Yong never discounted them.Although Lu Hun is more difficult to find.Chen Yong asked people to search for pine wood near Luyang and Wancheng in the south, and then refined rosin in the wild.

With almost no effort, within two days.Chen Yong obtained more than three hundred catties of rosin.

After getting the rosin, Ran Ming smiled and said, "The master's plan can be implemented!"

Although Chen Yong was curious, he was a smart person, and if he knew what Ran Ming wanted him to know, he would tell him even if he didn't ask.But once something is not what he needs to know, even if he asks, Ran Ming will not say it, but it will cause Ran Ming's dissatisfaction.

In Ran Ming's army, almost all the leading generals are his students.In this era, no better than later generations, you can betray your benefactor, even if you have the grace of knowing, meeting and supporting you, you can use a good minister to choose a tree to live in this decent fig leaf.

However, under the influence of traditional Chinese Confucianism, all dynasties have ruled the world with etiquette and law. The most important thing about this etiquette law is the word filial piety.Under such circumstances, if one deceives one's teacher and exterminates one's ancestors, or disobeys one's own father, it is a great treason, and everyone can punish it.

Just like the Three Kingdoms era.Almost all the military generals have changed several masters one after another, but Lu Bu has become a street mouse, and everyone shouts and beats him.It is because he not only betrayed the former lord, but also did a thing that everyone can't bear, killing his father.This is our moral bottom line, and breaking it is our public enemy.

These disciples of Ran Ming, as long as Ran Ming is alive, they can't betray Ran Ming, otherwise they will be betrayed by the master, and no one in the world will be able to see them.

Lu Huncheng was also peaceful at this time.

At the beginning, Huan Wen left Huan Mi in Lu Hun to supervise the general affairs of grain and grass.Huan Mi is the fourth younger brother of Huan Wen. He has little literary talent and has a good relationship with famous officials such as Xie An, Xi Chiuchi and Sun Sheng.However, this person is also conceited, proud and self-satisfied, and defiant.

Huan Wen is a good judge of people.Knowing that his fourth brother is a man with a good eye, who likes to talk and talk, he is the same type of person as Xie Wan.It is acceptable to be in charge of the government, but it is not suitable for leading troops.In fact, Huan Mi was in Huan Wen's Xifu Army, so he was not highly valued.

The relationship between Huan Mi and Huan Wen is not harmonious.It's even a little bit tense.In the parallel history, Huan Mi and Huan Wen's eldest son Huan Xi took advantage of Huan Wen's illness to stage a mutiny, which ultimately failed.

At this time, although Huan Mi was not in the same water and fire as Huan Wen as in history.However, he was also angry because Huan Wen let him stay in Luhun, so he couldn't go to the front line and get a share of his military achievements.Once this idea breeds, it is difficult to contain it anymore.

Huan Mi smiled deeply, he didn't even think of it, he was like a gambler who lost his bet, he was constantly increasing his bets, his whole person completely lost his former bearing.

Suddenly, Huan Mi felt a little gloomy. (Anyone who opens a window in winter is gloomy.) Suddenly, when he turned his head, he was stunned!At some point outside the window stood a beautiful woman in white, as slim as a beautiful spring tree.

This woman is so beautiful that words cannot describe it.

There is a big secret in Huan Mi's heart.Huan Mi loves Huan Wen's concubine, Cheng Han's princess Li Jingshu.A few days ago, during Huan Mi's trilogy, he snatched a young and beautiful woman outside the city. At first glance, she looked a bit like Princess Li.

Huan Mi is eager for pleasure.However, this woman is very loyal.He would rather die than follow, and actually hit a wall and committed suicide.Huan Mi felt very sorry.

Suddenly, Huan Mi started a cold war.
