Ran Min was the founding emperor of Ran Wei during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and his father Ran Liang was captured by Later Zhao Shile, and Ran Liang, who was only twelve years old at the time, was adopted by Shi Hu.
After Ran Min was born, Shi Hu was particularly kind to Ran Min, and the history books record that Shi Hu treated him as if he were his own grandson, without any distinction.
Ran Min was more special since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was brave and good at fighting, lived up to the expectations of the people, and made many military achievements, once defeating the Jin army in The South and killing the Eastern Jin general Cai Huai.
Later, Ran Min defeated Liang Calf, and for a time, his fame shocked the world, and most of the Hu and Han generals at that time feared him.
The most able to show Ran Min's unstoppable war was in the eighth year of Yonghe (Ran Wei Yongxing three years, 352), this year, Ran Min rode alone, fighting five thousand elite Xianbei soldiers, Ran Min single-handedly killed more than three hundred people, no one could stop it, later, Ran Min's war horse died, Ran Min lost the war horse, lost the impact, so he was captured, and then executed, which is lamentable.
What's going on here?
At that time, Murong Juan attacked Youzhou and Jizhou, and his troops were directly approaching Jizhou, and Ran Min led his army to resist, confronting the Former Yan general Murong Ke at Weichangcheng.
Ran Min's general Dong Yan and cheri general Zhang Wen saw that the enemy's troops were strong, and advised Ran Min to temporarily avoid the enemy's front, wait for a while, do not touch hard, look for fighters, and then attack again, in order to achieve the goal of victory.
Ran Min listened and was very angry, he said, "I want to pacify Youzhou, and from the moment I led my army out on the expedition, I vowed to kill Murong Juan." Now, when I met Murong Ke, I was afraid to retreat, which would only make the enemy despise me and not show weakness. ”
Ran Min immediately led his army to engage Murong Ke's army, and Ran Min was very powerful, not at all ambiguous, fighting ten times in a row, all of which were victorious.
Murong Ke, seeing that he had been defeated repeatedly, changed his tactics, and he ordered his men to connect the horses with chains, and then carefully selected five thousand strong soldiers, who were the most powerful archers of Xianbei, and lined them up in a phalanx and advanced in rows.
Ran Min saw the enemy advancing layer by layer, without fear, he once again chose to be hard and hard, and greeted him, Ran Min's mount was a red war horse, this horse was named Zhu Long, it was a BMW good foal, traveling thousands of miles a day and walking eight hundred at night.
As the saying goes, the art master is bold, Ran Min relies on this BMW, as fast as lightning, he holds a double-edged spear in his left hand, and a hook in his right hand, straight into the enemy line, Ran Min in the enemy line, left rush right, fight hard, kill more than three hundred humble soldiers.
The Book of Jin records that Min Suo rode the red horse Zhu Long, traveled thousands of miles a day, left staff double-edged spear, right hook halberd, hit it downwind, and slashed more than three hundred levels.
Soon, more and more enemy troops swarmed to surround Ran Min. As the saying goes, it is difficult to fight with two fists and four hands, a good man can't stand many people, Ran Min is outnumbered, and can only choose to break through, so he rushed out of the siege on a prancing horse and fled all the way to the east.
Who knows, just after running for more than twenty miles, Ran Min's war horse was exhausted, and the military general had no war horse, just like he had no legs, just like this, Ran Min was captured by Murong Ke, who was in hot pursuit, and his subordinates Dong Yan and Zhang Wen were also captured together.
The Book of Jin records that the Russian Yan rode to the point of being surrounded for several weeks. Min was outnumbered, and the Prancing Horse broke through and went east, traveling more than twenty miles, the horse died for no reason, and was captured by Ke, and Dong Yan, Zhang Wen, and others sent to Ji.
After Ran Min was captured, Murong Juan rebuked him, saying, "You are a slave, how dare you claim to be the Son of Heaven?" Ran Min replied, "The world is in chaos, and you all want to usurp the throne and rebel." I am a hero of the world, why can't I be an emperor? Murong Juan was furious, whipped Ran Min three hundred times, sent Ran Min to Longcheng, and beheaded him at Mount Qi.
Ran Min, who was extremely brave, died at the hands of Murong Juan.
