Chapter 1007
Just when Liu Bian gathered Sili, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and other prefectures to attack Yanzhou with all their strength.

In the north, Temujin on the Mongolian grasslands is already ready to move. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry threaten the Hetao, eyeing Ran Min who occupies the Hetao.

Liu Zhang in Yizhou also sent Sima Yi to lead the army. He sent troops to Hanzhong and sent troops out of Qishan to attack Yongliang.

But Ran Min, who was born as a slave, was extremely hostile to foreigners, and Liu Bian had cooperated with him back then.But since Liu Bian had peace talks with Mongolia, Ran Min completely cut off contact with the big Han.

Now Mongolia has sent troops to Hetao, and [-] cavalry are coming menacingly.

Temujin's intention was to take the Hetao first, and after he took the Hetao, he would attack Bingzhou.

You must know that Bingzhou is divided into two parts, the north and the south. The north is the Hetao area, which is divided into five counties: Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Yanmen.In the south of Bingzhou, it is divided into Shangjun, Hexi, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other counties.

Now Yanmen County is in the hands of the big man, while the other four counties in the north of Bingzhou are in the hands of Ran Min.

Ran Min's men had a population of only 50, and only [-] troops. Although the northern part of the Hetao was dangerous, there were too few troops under Ran Min's command, and it was difficult to stop Temujin's army from invading.

If there is a loss in Hetao, Yanmen, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hexi and other counties are fine. These counties are connected to the Taihang Mountains in the east and the Luliang Mountains in the west. There are many barriers, and it is difficult for the Mongolian cavalry to enter.However, Shangjun in the west of Bingzhou, Beidi County and Anding County on the border between Bingzhou and Liangzhou are all flat lands.The Mongolian cavalry could follow the Yellow River on both sides of the Hetao, that is, the two sides of the Yellow River's convex-shaped Yellow River channel that is usually seen on the map, and drive straight into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.

Going south from the Yellow River in the east can threaten Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Han Dynasty, and going south from the Yellow River in the west can threaten Chang'an, the western capital of the Great Han Dynasty.

During the Warring States period, Qin, Zhao, and other countries were worried that foreigners would attack from these places, so they built the Great Wall in these places with insufficient defense.Resist alien attacks.

But despite this, foreign races have entered the hinterland of Sili in Guanzhong several times in history.

If there was no Liu Bian at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, according to history, King Zuoxian of the Huns would have entered Guanzhong to plunder while Li Jue and Guo Si were in trouble in Chang'an.Even Cai Yan was taken away by the Huns during this period.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Shimin seized power, the Turks in the north were also stronger than ever. The Turks learned that the Tang Dynasty was at the time of the change of imperial power.So he sent [-] troops to attack Chang'an, probably from Anding County in the Han Dynasty, all the way to the city of Wugong near the capital Chang'an.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was intimidating. Thanks to Li Shimin's general Yu Chigong at that time, he was extremely brave and united to defeat the Turks.Later, he signed the Weihe alliance with him, forcing him to withdraw his troops, which delayed the pacification of Turks in the future.

Although it is said that the Han Dynasty under Liu Bian's rule is extremely powerful, with strong soldiers and strong horses, it is different from the period when the Huns took advantage of Li Jue and Guo Si, and it is also different from the instability of the country in the early days of Li Shimin's seizure of power.But if Mongolia wins the Hetao map, it is possible to attack the two capitals of the Han Dynasty from Shangjun and Anding at any time.

The capital of a country is so important, if it is lost, the country's strength will be greatly damaged, and the country will perish at the worst.

When Liu Bian sent troops to attack Yanzhou, Temujin in the north was already ready to move.

Therefore, before Liu Bian dispatched troops, he ordered Li Jing, the governor of Bingzhou, to communicate with Ran Min quickly and unite with the great Han to reject Mongolia.

If Ran Min is unwilling, he will send troops to Hetao when necessary to take over the defense of Hetao.In order to avoid the loss of the Hetao, Mongolia can threaten the safety of the two capitals of the Han Dynasty from now on.

Ever since Li Jing became the Governor of Bingzhou, the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou has been set up in the Yinguan of Yanmen County.However, Bingzhou Governor's Office was set up in Bingzhou, Jinyang, the county seat of Taiyuan.

The Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion are governed separately, which is quite different from the situation in other states.

The reason for everything is because of Mongolia, the great enemy in the north of Bingzhou, which has threatened the safety of Bingzhou at all times.

Therefore, the Governor's Mansion, which is in charge of the military affairs of a state, was set up in Yanmen County on the border to guard against Mongolian invasion at any time.The governor's office, which is responsible for the politics of a state, is set up in the prosperous Taiyuan County, and the two governments are divided into territories.

Yin Hall of Yanmen County Government Office.

Li Jing and other generals gathered in the hall.

Below Li Jing, the governor of Bingzhou, there is the veteran deputy governor Yang Jiye, and the generals Lin Yu, Chen Dao, Pei Jun, and Gao Shun.The fierce generals Li Siye, Pei Yuanqing, and Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led troops to guard Shangjun and Hexi all the year round.

The generals present at the moment include Li Jing, Yang Jiye, Lin Yu, Pei Jun, Chen Dao, Gao Shun, Pei Yuanqing, Li Siye and others.

Li Jing looked gloomy at the moment, looked at the soldiers below and said, "Ran Min, don't you agree to unite with my big man to control Mongolia?"

The soldier said with bitterness on his face: "Ran Min said that our big man signed a peace treaty with Mongolia and is his enemy. He also said that if the governor sends people over next time, he will not show mercy."

"Hmph, although he has [-] soldiers and horses, but the Hetao is barren, it is very difficult to resist the Mongolian iron cavalry. If the Mongolians divide their troops and make a surprise attack, he will end up in a difficult situation. In my letter, I have already made righteousness. After reading it, he will not Do you agree?" Li Jing said in a deep voice.

The soldier shook his head and said: "Ran Min tore up the letter after reading it, and said that the defense of the Hetao would be as stable as Mount Tai with him around, and that Mongols would never want to cross Yinshan Mountain, so you don't have to worry about it, Governor!"

"Bastard, if the Hetao is lost, the two capitals of the Han Dynasty will be threatened by Mongolia at any time. He is not a general of the Han Dynasty, so naturally he is not worried. The governor, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, send troops to the Hetao to kill Ran Min, and take over the defense of the Hetao." Lin Yuwen. Yan was furious, and asked for a fight.

Pei Yuanqing also cupped his hands and said, "Commander, the last general is willing to go out with General Lin. I have heard that Ran Min is fierce for a long time. I wonder how many times he can catch me?"

"Shut up!" Veteran Yang Jiye said coldly: "The Hetao is in danger now, and if you advocate attacking the Hetao to attack Ran Min, it will only allow the Mongols to take advantage of the loopholes. Such words must never be said in the future."

Li Jing nodded and agreed: "Yes, since Ran Min is stubborn, we can only be ready to support him at any time. Attacking Ran Min under such circumstances will only benefit Mongolia."

Yang Jiye said to Li Jing: "Captain, Ran Min and I are old acquaintances. I know Ran Min very well, and he is by no means a person who ignores the overall situation. The reason why he rejected our army's proposal is because he was born as a slave. There is a lot of hatred.

Your Majesty once negotiated peace with Mongolia and made a deal. Ran Min will naturally hate me, a big man. As long as I go to Shuofang in person to persuade Ran Min, I believe that Ran Min will accept our army's proposal. "

After hearing this, Li Jing shook his head and refused: "No, Ran Min said that if our army is sending people there, he will show no mercy. General, you are an important minister of the court, a minister of the country, how can you take the risk yourself?"
