    "Who is coming!" Soldiers above Xiaoguan of the Tang Dynasty had already seen a cavalry force of two thousand people approaching Xiaoguan. This made the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty above Xiaoguan immediately nervous and responsible.  The gate officer of the city gate, who was still quite far away from Xiaoguan, asked loudly, but listening to his voice, he was still quite nervous.

    Can you not be nervous?  Not long after noon yesterday, the 400-mile express sent by General Zuowei was delivered to Xiaoguan. The then guard general of Xiaoguan, after Qin Liyan verified his identity, handed over the letter written by Qin Shubao.  Then after I, the general Xiao Guan, watched, I was so frightened that the general Xiao Guan was weak.  ,

    He immediately lost his opinion. It stands to reason that as the commander of the most important pass in the north of Zhangyang, the imperial capital, he should be a person who has been tested by wind and rain, and would not panic so easily. Otherwise, given the importance of Xiao Pass, how could he  It may be possible to let a guard who is not showing the demeanor of a general at all be stationed here.

    "However, this General Xiaoguan is really a new recruit. He has not had a real maternity leave and has experienced several wars. His current official position is accumulated daily. His usual task is to be responsible for the logistics of the army.

    In other words, the current guard general of Xiaoguan is actually a logistics general. Because of his strong logistics skills, he was promoted to the position of guard general of Xiaoguan. If you think of a general in charge of logistics, how can he compare with a experienced general?  Compared with the generals who fought.

    The reason why he was mentioned in such an important position as Xiaoguan was to paralyze the Eastern Turk spies for the smooth implementation of Zhang Yang's plan.  In addition, in order to cooperate with Zhang Yang's battle plan, Xiao Guan rested Xiao Guan's city defense and stored countless military supplies.  He was guarded by him again, so he became the guard of Xiaoguan.

    "It's a pity that he has never been on the battlefield several times, compared to a real general who has fought in hundreds of battles.  Still quite a bit different.

    Whenever he encounters something dangerous, he becomes a little confused. It is not an area he is familiar with, and it is still far behind.

    Fortunately, Zhang Yang had expected this situation early on, so he sent Qin Liyan to send Sibaili to urgent military information, just to let Qin Liyan lead the army when General Xiaoguan was at a loss.  Guard Xiao Pass.

    After General Xiao Guan showed his confusion.  Immediately handed over another letter written by Zhang Yang.

    "General Ran, this is the letter that Captain Zhang asked the general to bring to the general, please check it!"

    This Xiaoguan guard, General Ran quickly took the letter from Qin Liyan's hand after hearing Qin Liyan's words. Without saying anything, he opened it and read it without any concern about Qin Liyan's presence.  What impact does it have.

    After General Ran read the letter written by Zhang Yang that Qin Liyan handed him, he let out a sigh of relief, which immediately calmed down his anxious mood.

    "General Qin, I will now grant you the military power of all the defenders of Xiaoguan in the name of the general of Xiaoguan.

    Now all the defenders of Xiaoguan, including this general, are under your command. All the city defenses of Xiaoguan will be troublesome to you!  "

    As soon as Qin Liyan heard what General Ran said, he felt that something was wrong, something was very wrong!

    Why was the defense command of Xiaoguan handed over to me? No one told me this before!

    This happiness must have come too suddenly. Although I have always been leading troops in battle, as the captain of Qin Shubao's personal guard and the captain of Qinxunyi Guards, I have never had the opportunity to lead the army alone.

    This opportunity came so suddenly, and he still couldn't accept it. After saying that General Ran, the guard general of Xiaoguan, was still here, he was a dignified fourth-rank man, and he was the captain of the superior government, so why did he lose the military command in his hands?  There is obviously something wrong with the fact that the power was handed over to him so freely. Even if he didn't understand military affairs, he would not hand over the power so easily.

    ¡°Whether there is any conspiracy involved, I really can¡¯t say for sure!

    "General Ran, this is impossible. As the highest military officer of Xiaoguan and the general of Xiaoguan, how can you hand over your military power to me, the sixth-grade Qinxunyi Guards School Lieutenant? This is against the rules. Please take it back.  !¡±

    After Qin Liyan thought of this, he decisively gave up the idea and said with determination, General Ran, the guard of Xiaoguan.

    ¡°General Qin, don¡¯t worry, I am very relieved to hand over my brothers to you.

    This matter is entirely voluntary for me. You don¡¯t have to worry too much. You just need to arrange the defense of Xiaoguan. You don¡¯t need to worry about other things, General Qin. Just leave them to me.

    As for handing over the troops in my hands to you, this is not a hasty decision by me.?This is a question that I have thought through in my brain. I am 100% assured of your General Qin's strength as the commander of the Qinxunyi Guards.

    General Qin, let me tell you the truth. This general, the general of Xiaoguan, is not worthy of his name. I know how many pounds I have.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT OFFICIAL

    "But let me be a general and lead troops in battles. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. I don't have the confidence to lead my brothers to defend Xiaoguan, so you should take the military command of Xiaoguan.

    Don¡¯t worry, this matter was explained in Captain Zhang¡¯s letter. If you don¡¯t believe me, take it and take a look. Captain Zhang knows that the purpose of leading troops in battle is to deliver food to the enemy, so Captain Zhang said in the letter you just gave to me.  , gave me this idea.

    Don't worry, Hongzhi was willing to hand over the military power to you. To be honest, after the general made Hongzhi the guard general of Xiaoguan, Hongzhi and I have not slept peacefully for a day. Now,  You are here so that Hongzhi can feel at ease!  "

    General Min, the guard of Xiaoguan, explained to Qin Liyan sincerely. After that, he handed Qin Liyan the letter that Zhang Yang also gave him, proving that he was not lying. This matter of changing generals before the battle, Zhang Yang  There was an explanation in Yang's letter.

    Of course, Zhang Yang also knew about the taboo of changing generals before the battle.  Therefore, Zhang Yang also specifically explained in the letter that he only proposed that General Min temporarily hand over military power to Qin Liyan.  Just let him take command on his behalf.

    General Taran still exists as the top military general of Xiaoguan, but now he is assisting Qin Liyan in addition to temporarily defending against the Eastern Turks' troops attacking southward, and has not really taken away his position as the guard general of Xiaoguan.  ,

    This is also what Xiaoguan guard Ran Hongzhi hopes.  Even if he was unwilling to be the guard general of Xiaoguan at that time, he knew very well that he was not the material to lead troops in war. In addition, this place was located on the border, and Xiaoguan was the imperial capital of Chang'an, and the north was the most important.  As soon as the pass is reached, in the current situation where the war with the Eastern Turks is imminent, this Xiao Pass becomes even more important.

    This is the last level to guard Chang'an, as long as Xiao Guan is there.  Even if Lingzhou is defeated by the Eastern Turks' southbound Kou border army, burning, killing and looting everywhere in Lingzhou will not threaten Chang'an.

    Therefore, Ran Hongzhi, who was very self-aware, when he heard that Zuowei General Qin Shubao asked him to be the guard general of Xiaoguan, he refused in every possible way and refused to do so even if he was killed. This made Qin Shubao quite helpless towards him at that time.

    At this time, Zhang Yang came out to mediate and said to Ran Hongzhi, "General Ran. You must be the guard of Xiaoguan now. Don't be too busy making excuses. The general and I also know you. As the guard of Xiaoguan,  General. Isn¡¯t it suitable to lead troops?

    But this time we have His Majesty's invisible military order to be carried out when we go north, and Xiaoguan will have a lot of logistical supplies arriving one after another recently, which will be used as a temporary storage point. Only you are familiar with this logistics matter, so Xiaoguan will be here  The post of general belongs to you.

    "However, we are well aware of military matters. You will temporarily hold the position of guard general of Xiaoguan, which is only half a month. I will wrong you first, and we will make arrangements for the rest.  "

    After Qin Liyan received the autographed letter from Zhang Yang handed to him by Ran Hongzhi, he saw that it was indeed written by Zhang Yang himself. He temporarily replaced Ran Hongzhi to lead the military power of Xiaoguan and assist Ran Hongzhi in defending Xiaoguan.

    Qin Liyan was completely relieved about this. Since there was Zhang Yang's personal letter as proof, and the prince-in-law was standing in front of him, he was a mere imperial guard, what else should he be afraid of? If something happened, there would be a tall man.  Hold on.

    "In this case, let's accuse General Ran of overstepping his bounds. Now please give an order to General Ran to hurry all the garrison generals of Xiaoguan to come to a meeting to discuss the future defense deployment. Time is urgent now. Please cooperate with General Ran for a while!"

    "General Qin, don't worry. Since I have handed over the military command of Xiaoguan to you, I will definitely cooperate with you to the end for these small matters. I will go and hurry the generals currently stationed at Xiaoguan to discuss it."  , bid farewell to General Qin."

    After saying this, Ran Hongzhi decisively turned around and went out without waiting for Qin Liyan to say anything, and called for people to come to the meeting.

    Qin Liyan felt a little strange when he saw the legendary Xiaoguan garrison general Ran Hongzhi going out to call the Xiaoguan garrison generals to come for a meeting.

    Yes, this Ran Hongzhi is quite legendary. In terms of his origin, he is quite legendary.

    He comes from a family of military commanders that can be said to be hundreds of years old. When his family was at its peak, his ancestors even ascended the throne. Although the throne only lasted for three years, the things his ancestors did were great achievements.  with the Han people.

     Yes, his ancestor is Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao, also known as the Murderer King Ran Min.

    Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao, also known as Ran Min, whose courtesy name was Yong Zeng and whose nickname was Ji Nu. He was a native of Huang (Han nationality) in Wei County during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, also known as "Ran Min". The founder of Ran Wei, he reigned from 350 to 352 AD. He was famous for his bravery.  . In 350, he was proclaimed emperor, the country was named Wei, and the history was called Ran Wei. In 352, Ran Min failed to break through, and was captured by King Murong Jun of Yan. He was killed on the Nexing Mountain, and was later posthumously named King Wu Dao.

    And one of the most famous things in history that King Ran Min of Wu Dao Tian did, which was attributed to the Han people, was the first order he issued when he ascended the throne, "Kill Hu Order".

    'The barbarians have been rebelling against the Central Plains for decades. Now I will punish them. If we can fight against them together, we can send troops to come. They have also violently bullied the Han family for decades. They have killed my people and taken away my ancestral temples. Now I am here to punish those who offend my Han family and kill our Han family to death.  The Han people killed all the barbarians in the world. Kuang restored the foundation of the Han family and slaughtered the barbarians for the justice of the Han people in the world. Ran Minbucai was ordered by Heaven to tell the world this omen.'

    (Thinking back to those days, when Ran Min issued an order, the people of the Central Plains and the Hu people who entered the country fought against each other day and night. It can be seen that Ran Min's policies at that time were in line with public opinion and represented the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the people. It was not Ran Min's intention.  Provocation, but the national conflicts at that time were indeed irreconcilable.

    Looking at the four ancient civilizations: the ancient Egyptian and ancient Babylonian civilizations weakened during the war; the barbarian tribes that invaded India classified the locals who created the ancient Indian civilization as untouchables at the lowest level in the caste system and drive them like slaves to this day;

    ??????????????????????????????? When the people who created ancient Chinese civilization faced a similar dilemma, Ran Min stood up and issued an edict to the world.  Invite heroes from all over the world to rise up and kill Hu. Wherever the order comes, the people will respond.  The Han army was mighty, the Hu bandits were defeated, the land of Kyushu finally returned to its true colors, and our nation was saved from repeating the mistakes of others, and the main body of Chinese civilization was able to continue.

    Now that this man has passed away, we can only get a glimpse of the legendary career of this national hero from 1,700 years ago through tampered historical data.  Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang are both very familiar figures to us, and Ran Min's contribution to the Han nation should be greater than these two.  The mountains in the mountains are green every year.  The world will be prosperous for a thousand years.

    Thousands of years ago, the ethnic conflicts in this land were irreconcilable, but time has integrated everything. In China today, we are a harmonious family of fifty-six ethnic groups.  When the fierce wars of the past have turned into dusty history today, the pride of the ancients ripples in today's hearts, giving rise to strange and complex feelings.  )

    His martial prowess is also unparalleled, equal to that of Xiang Yu.  "L¨¹ Bu and My Unparalleled Fierce Generals, Supplement to the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Sixteen Kingdoms" records: "Ran Min rode a red horse called Zhulong, which traveled thousands of miles in a day. He had a double-edged spear on his left staff and a hooked halberd on his right. He struck with the wind and killed more than three hundred Xianbei.  class."

    It is a pity that his consequences did not end well like those of his two predecessors. Although he was dominant for a while and was proficient in martial arts, his political shortcomings caused the Ran Wei regime he established to be shattered after only three years of establishment.

    With such a brave ancestor, Ran Hongzhi should be famous for his martial arts. Although Ran Zai suffered a devastating blow after the King of Wu Dao Ran Min was annihilated, even though Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao, did not understand politics, he was  He was prepared for defeat (mainly because during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period, no country in the north had a long-term inheritance.), when he proclaimed himself emperor, he had already sent people to transfer his youngest son and the Ran family's property to the south.  After going there, it was passed down to the Ran family.

    It has been more than two hundred years, and Ran's inheritance is still quite complete. By the time of the previous dynasty, it had become relatively active, but instead of moving the world with his bravery, he astonished the world with his literary talent.  , This makes no one think that their branch is the descendant of Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao.

    The reason why Qin Liyan knew that Ran Hongzhi was a descendant of Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao, was because as mentioned above, Ran Hongzhi was quite legendary. After he joined the Tang Dynasty, due to the legacy of his predecessors, he  Let his literary career go quite smoothly.

    But when Li Shimin defeated Liu Wuzhou in the third year of Wude, due to mistakes made by the logistics generals, the logistics was not functioning well. At that time, it was the critical moment of the decisive battle with Liu Wuzhou. If the logistics supplies could not keep up, there would be major problems in the war ahead.

    Just when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were troubled by logistical issues, Ran Hongzhi, who was still a civil servant at the time, stepped forward.

    He issued a military order and took charge of all the logistics of the Tang Army at that time. Under his overall planning and dispatch, the logistics supplies of the Tang Army were finally operated in an orderly manner. From then on, there were no problems with the supply of the Tang Army on all fronts.

    In this way, Ran Hongzhi can be said to have become famous. From a mere sixth-grade civil servant, he suddenly became a full-fifth-grade military attache. From then on, he officially transferred from civil service to military affairs and became a military general.

    In the subsequent battles, the logistics were all under his overall coordination, and the logistics supply for the frontline battles was well completed.

    Even in the fifth year of Wude, when the Tang Dynasty and Liu Heitai fought, Liu Heitai tried to destroy the Tang army¡¯s logistical supplies.??, and even sent people to assassinate Ran Hongzhi, a logistics reward who was responsible for the supply of the Tang army on the front line at that time.

    But the assassin who came to assassinate Ran Hongzhi was killed on the spot by Ran Hongzhi in the logistics camp. This battle revealed his excellent martial arts.

    This has made many people curious, how could a family famous for its literary talents have a clan member with such outstanding martial arts skills? Moreover, this clan member has never shown his outstanding martial arts skills in front of outsiders, and has no record of becoming a disciple.

    This aroused the interest of the then great ancestor Li Yuan, the prince Li Jiancheng, and the king of Qin Li Shimin. After an investigation, they found out this shocking secret, not only Ran Hongzhi's superior martial arts.

    Even his predecessors who astonished the world with their literary talents were all excellent in martial arts. Finally, after many investigations, it was confirmed that Ran Hongzhi was a descendant of Ran Wei Emperor Wu Daotian King Ran Min.

    This surprised and delighted Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin at the time. Finally, with the cooperation of Ran Hongzhi, they accepted Ran Hongzhi. However, after so many years, he has always been responsible for logistics and has never held military power.

    The scene where the gatekeeper of Xiaoguan City asked Zhang Yang and others what happened in Xiaoguan just now was decided after Ran Hongzhi and Qin Liyan were worried about the meeting of the generals defending Xiaoguan.

    In addition to strengthening the alert, yesterday afternoon, after the meeting, there were messengers who once again rushed four hundred miles to send urgent military information to the governor of Yuanzhou and requested military support. I believe that tonight a group of people in Yuanzhou  Ten thousand reinforcements will arrive first.

    However, reinforcements from other places will take a little longer to arrive due to distance.

    Since there are only a few thousand defenders in Xiaoguan now, the gate of Xiaoguan has not been opened since it was closed at night last night. It has always been in a closed state, just to prevent the sudden attack of the Eastern Turks.  .  !  ~!
