The news of Shi Hu's stroke must be completely blocked, but there is no absolutely airtight wall in the world. The difference is when the news leaks.
Ran min sent a small fleet to the Hutuo River in Dingxiang. He had his own consideration. He knew what kind of person Shi Hu was and was confident enough to use that move to stimulate the tyranny in Shi Hu's blood vessels, but he didn't know he was playing big.
A cruel person usually has a headstrong factor. Such a person will not completely follow the established plan, but will change his character because of the different things he faces. For example, he has to retreat at the last moment, but decides to turn around and fight with so and so at the next moment.
"The retreat in Dingxiang has ended. It seems that it is still in some kind of chaos." Xie an's temperament is very gentle. To evaluate, she can be regarded as a genuine Confucian general. He obviously had some guesses, but he never thought it was the confusion caused by Shi Hu's stroke: "is Shi Jie laying a doubt, or is something big really happening?"
In some ways, the marching long history is a think tank of the army. He is positioned as a military division. Xie an thinks he can perform this duty well and will not delay his business because of his different views on ran min. He arrived two days ago. After coming here, he did a comprehensive understanding of the situation and didn't put forward any suggestions to ran min for the time being.
"Isn't that what we want them to stop retreating?" Ran min had his own rhythm and said, "wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, and then make an approaching gesture to Dingxiang."
There are a lot of troops in the Hussars shogunate sequence, not counting the forbidden guards and county soldiers system. Nine standing armies have been determined. In addition to the original six troops of the northern shogunate, three are added, and then three forbidden guards and more than 200000 County soldiers are covered. The total number of soldiers, forbidden guards, county soldiers and civilian men exceeds 500000, However, the distribution of troops is very scattered.
At present, the number of troops in ran min's location is only 80000, of which less than 40000 are soldiers. Li Tan's headquarters are attacking Jinyang and Quyang. It's not sure when they can continue to go north. The following two armies have been marching rapidly, and the meeting period is seven days later.
Of the total number of 500000, 1780000 really participated in the war. It can be regarded as whether the Han state really made great efforts or the cooperation of the domestic internal affairs construction and the reform period. Whatever the others, ran min didn't want to. He was full of strength and must destroy Shijie Zhao at once.
Liu Yan personally confirmed the scale of the war. Even with his prestige, he did not completely suppress the opposition. The prime minister's office was forced to reduce the scale of internal affairs construction, but the reform did not end.
The reduction of the scale of domestic construction should be coordinated with the consumption of food. After all, gathering a large number of people to work must be to eat. The daily food consumption is definitely an astronomical figure.
The reform mainly focuses on legal reform. At present, most people's attention is involved in the upcoming war, which makes the reform much less difficult.
Ran min is not the first time to hold the military power of hundreds of thousands of people, but this time he can lead 178000 soldiers to fight, which still makes him full of excitement. He is really holding the determination to destroy Shi Jie. He sent letters to Jichang more than once, making it clear that there must be no problem with logistics.
Ji Chang was angry and funny to see ran min's pleading and threatening documents. The country's grain and fodder reserves entered a difficult period, which was related to the country's war of annihilation. Even the prime minister's office did not dare to do anything, but forced Xu Zheng to exert pressure on all aspects of the war on the southwest peninsula, At the same time, he kept looking for his colleagues and rich families.
The Hussars shogunate found out exactly what happened on the eighth day after Shi Hu's stroke. There were two channels for them to spy. The first was that Shi Hu's sons fought each other, and the second was that some Shi Jie's ministers secretly passed the tune.
I don't know whether it's brain damage or Hu people. After the news of Shi Hu's stroke leaked, Shi Shi was the first to gather arms, but the outbreak didn't start from Shi Shi.
Shi Shi is actually a child now. His mother is the daughter of Liu Yao, the later Zhao emperor.
As a royal family of the former dynasty and one of Shi Hu's favorite harem, Liu is not the kind of woman without any influence. She is surrounded by many old ministers who were originally former Zhao. Some Han people's civil and military affairs are also attached to Shi Jie after he failed.
It was Zhang jackal who suggested to Shi Shi... Or Liu Shi to start the army. He was a big man who could call the wind and rain in shile period. In the early days of Shi Hu's reign, he was repeatedly seduced, but later, it can only be said that he should be lucky if he didn't die.
Liu Shi, the mother of Shi Shi, was captured by Zhang jackal and dedicated to Shi Hu, who was still the king of Zhongshan at that time. On the contrary, several people did not have an enemy relationship because of capture and being sent. On the contrary, they formed a good friendship.
Zhang jackal suggested that Liu's soldiers only use one word, that is, Shi Hu is about to die. Crown prince Shi Xuan is not a guy who can accommodate people. He was humiliated and killed behind him. It's better to fight to the death.
Liu knew what Shi Hu was like, and knew Shi Xuan's cruelty. Naturally, he wanted to fight hard, but it was false to say that he had no concerns. She asked Zhang jackal to contact the ministers in the court, especially the military generals with military power. Not only that, she also asked Zhang jackal, even if he succeeded in the end, how should Shijie Zhao face the fierce Han after a civil strife.
Zhang jackal ran out a series of answers to the questions. He had contacted Shi Tao, Shi Kun and Shi Chong in advance and obtained their commitment to fight with Shi Shi Shi by various means.
Shi Tao is the fifth son of Shi Hu. He first became king Anle and later changed to Duke Qin. He has been on the wrong path with Shi Xuan for a long time. The two sides fought fiercely. When Zhang jackal came to him, he was making some preparations because he knew that Shi Xuan would kill himself after he gained power and planned to start first. Zhang jackal deceived him and said that he, not Shi Shi, would sit on the throne when things were done.
Shi Kun is the eighth son of Shi Hu. He is the king of Ruyin king. Generally speaking, he is one of the many sons of Shi Hu. He is timid and cautious. What is wonderful is the incomparable worship of Han culture. Zhang jackal came to him just to make a strong show, and threatened him that Shi Xuan would kill all his brothers after he ascended the throne. He didn't dare to take part in the war and just wanted to escape. Later, Zhang jackal said that he had found a way to the state of Han. It's OK for king Ruyin to be a rich man in the state of Han. I don't know what he thinks. He really convinced Zhang jackal's last statement.
Shi Chong is the youngest son of Shi Hu. He is definitely not the one who makes up his mind. He is taking refuge in some civil and military forces under the door. Zhang jackal's handling of those civil and military forces is tantamount to pulling him in.
In fact, after Shi Xuan confirmed that Shi Hu could not manage politics, he was the first to find Shi bin for surgery.
Shi bin is one of Shi Hu's sons who has the most voice in the military. He has operated Youzhou for a long time, held military power and once controlled Jizhou. He was the prince who fought the most battles with the Han army. Sometimes he fought vividly. Jizhou was captured by the Han Army, and Youzhou was given to Murong Yanguo by Shi Hu. He suffered a comprehensive blow, but his strength was still incomparably strong. He was the first person to threaten the throne of Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan started with Shi bin. First, several assassinations failed, and then directly dispatched Donggong Gaoli.
Shi bin didn't have any possibility of waiting to die. He also failed to assassinate Shi Xuan several times. When Shi Xuan sent out the East Palace high power, Shi bin called the pro army to fight. The two sides fought directly in Dingxiang city.
Shi Xuan's East Palace Gao Li is very fierce. Shi Bin's original border troops are not bad. After the two sides start fighting, they directly kill the sky and the earth. Some rational and loyal ministers persuade them that the Han army is about to crush the border. The internal fight between them is to kill themselves. The red eyed Shi Xuan and Shi bin respond by letting those ministers die first.
The war in the city soon spread to everyone, whether active or passive. People who want to protect themselves have been involved successively. Shi Shi, Shi Tao, Shi Kun and Shi Chong, as the third party and the alliance, are the most eye-catching.
Previously, Shi Jiewen and Wu had secretly contacted ran min to let ran min know that Shi Hu had a stroke and could not manage politics. Later, he learned about the civil unrest in Dingxiang.
After ran min and others who marched to Dingxiang received the information that Shi Hu's many sons killed each other, they were really stunned.
"I knew that many sons of the stone tiger were incompatible..." Xie AI said with emotion: "if Hu Lu is really Hu Lu, he should be in a civil war when he is dying."
Xie'an's gaping tongue could not even hide it. He said, "they didn't think. Even if they scrambled for that position, how would they face us in the end?"
"Ha ha ha!" Ran min was completely normal. After a burst of laughter, he said, "it's natural and inevitable."
At present, there is no saying that "if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy", but similar words still exist, such as what ran min just said.
Shijie suddenly had civil strife, and a large number of civil and military forces scrambled to take refuge. The sudden change actually invalidated some preparations made by the Han side.
"General." Xie an looked directly at ran min and said, "is the army stationed in place?"
"No!" Ran min knew what Xie an meant, but he didn't intend to accept the suggestion. He said: "order Litan to send cavalry to cut off the north route and the other army to attack Yanmen county directly."
Shi Jie in Dingxiang is killing each other. At this time, the approaching of the Han army is likely to make those people stop and fight the enemy unanimously. What the Han army should do is to make those people feel less serious about the external threat. Xie an's opinion comes from this.
Of course, ran min knows what's going on, but he's afraid that he can't be perfect. On the one hand, he wants to keep the target from escaping, on the other hand, he doesn't intend to stay.
"Long history, many times we can't hesitate to start." Ran min is not a person with high Eq. he said bluntly: "there is a risk to rush up with the current force, but what is no risk? The risk can match the war results, and don't worry about failure."
Xie an's face became stiff, but he didn't say anything more, let alone make a cold hum.
Speed is what ran Min wants to do most now. He is already a great Hussars general, but he pulls out all the cavalry and rushes directly to Dingxiang.
"Hussars general..." Xie AI looked at the background of the cavalry away and smiled bitterly: "it is worthy of being Hussars general."
There are few people in the Han Dynasty who don't know ran min's character. If they understand or don't understand ran min, they never care. What everyone can't understand is that Liu Yan can still get used to it.
Xie an and other people who were left behind looked at the far away cavalry, and no one said anything.
Twenty five li is not far for the cavalry. Ran Min has to consider the marching order of the cavalry and what he can do after arriving in Dingxiang.
Civil strife broke out in Dingxiang, which was not only in the city. Although Shi Hu had previously continuously transferred population to Shuozhou, the army remained with him all the time.
Those princes kill each other. For the civil and military, it is not a choice whether they want to be involved or not. It is difficult for them to be involved or not. After the overall chaos, it affected all aspects. As a result, the closer ran min was to Dingxiang, the more strange things happened.
The Han army came to Dingxiang, but no one cared. You still killed me and I killed you in the city. Some of the troops in the periphery of Dingxiang resisted and surrendered, and even directly withdrew Shi Jie's flag to make an impending uprising.
Ran min took about 20000 cavalry, who stood in the way. He avoided it and didn't bother to entangle again. He just went straight to Dingxiang.
Waiting for ran min to arrive at Dingxiang City, the fighting in the city did not stop because of the arrival of the Han army. On the contrary, it was more intense inside.
Zhang jackal came at the first time when ran min arrived. Shi Kun appeared with him.
"Needless to say, the general must speak well in front of the king. It's necessary to get an official and a baron. If you want to live in peace, nothing will happen."
Ran min is not in charge of everything, but has enough confidence to say that. As long as he can destroy Shijie Zhao, he doesn't have to pursue some small things deliberately. As a king, Liu Yan also knows to grasp the big and let go of the small.
Zhang jackal was immediately overjoyed. He did so much just to get something. He thought he had performed well in this event. Too high officials had no extravagant expectations. If he could join the state of Han and stand firm, even if he got what he wanted, he had great expectations for his title.
Shi Kun was very grateful. He and ran min had known each other for a long time. He knew more or less about his character and knew that ran min had something to say.
"These are the civil and military lists of people who want to be big." When Zhang jackal got what he wanted, he was happy and worked harder: "villains can go in person and summon an army to assist the general."
Although ran min rushed to Dingxiang City regardless, there was still a special person in charge of taking down the traitors. The latest news he got included nearly 40000 cannon fodder troops, but it did not prevent him from wanting more soldiers to consume.
