However, in the main hall, the scene was fundamentally different from what people thought, Chu Yun and Lu Zhong were sitting on their seats, and Chu Yun scolded loudly while drinking a little wine.

"Your Majesty, Lao Lu has embarrassed you. "Lu Zhong, this old thing, is still the same as when he was in the Iron Army, at that time, he didn't make trouble for Chu Yun, and Chu Yun also laughed and scolded him for two sentences and stopped pursuing it, so this time he made a mistake, this old thing is not very afraid, and he is not restrained at all when he eats and drinks. Looking at Lu Zhong like this, the anger in Chu Yun's heart also dissipated, the height was unbearable, and Chu Yun didn't have many friends who could communicate on an equal footing, laugh and scold, so for Lu Zhong, Chu Yun only felt kind.

"You old thing, but it's the same as before, thick-skinned to death, I thought you were older and more stable, who thought you were really a dog who couldn't change eating. Chu Yun said angrily.

"Your Majesty, Lao Lu, I, the general, is uncomfortable to sit on, my butt is so hot, not to mention Xie Ai and Wang Jie, the two stinky boys, are not as good as Cui Cheng and Ran Min. I want to give His Majesty a face, who would have thought that it would be like this, this time it is just time to retreat, Your Majesty, you let me be a commander-in-chief, forget it, I still like to charge into battle. "What Lu Zhong said, of course Chu Yun knew, seeing that Lu Zhong was a little discouraged, Chu Yun knew that he had to untie his heart knot, he was the first person in the army, Chu Yun was not ready to change.

"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu kicked you to death? You bastard, you pouting your ass, I know what you want to pull, you want to kick Lao Tzu? Don't even think about it, he can't escape from my hands, let alone you. Don't you want to make meritorious contributions, I will give you a chance, if you really can't do it well this time, you will really go home, don't come to me in the future. After Chu Yun finished speaking, Lu Zhong's eyes lit up, he knew that His Majesty would not give up on himself, he didn't care about Chu Yun's later words, he only heard that His Majesty gave him a chance.

Seeing Lu Zhong's eyes shining, Chu Yun didn't bother to talk nonsense, he was deceived by this old thing again, Lu Zhong, the old guy, knew more about his character than he knew about himself, he did it on purpose. He has a good face, he was originally majestic in the position of general, so he was reluctant to come down, and sure enough, he still figured out his character, knowing that he still misses the old as long as he does not violate some taboos.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, I want you to lead troops to destroy Qiu Chi Kingdom, they dare to go against us, it's really an old birthday star hanging to death, I have secretly sent 120,000 troops to Hanzhong, of which 20,000 are the most powerful iron-blooded guards in the Ming Dynasty, you send troops from Hanzhong to capture Qiu Chi, this time if you drop the chain for me again, you see how I clean you up." Chu Yun said viciously.

Lu Zhong automatically filtered Chu Yun's threat, and he laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, I know that you are the best for me, don't worry, if I lose again this time, I won't come back." ”

"Well, but this time you lost the battle, hundreds of thousands of children died, I have to punish you, your marquis I will take it for you, and you and I will drop you to Yizhou in the name of foreign transfer to become the commander of the Zhenbei Army, but after you arrive in Hanzhong halfway, you don't need to continue to go, immediately take over the army, attack Qiuchi, and don't give other countries a chance to react, I want you to destroy Qiuchi within three months, of course, I most hope to receive the news of your victory at next year's court." After Chu Yun asked, Lu Zhong immediately patted his chest and assured that he didn't care about the marquis, although he was straight, he was not stupid, this was just to announce to the outside world that he had been demoted, and if he won the battle, his marquis would come back. The three months that Chu Yun gave to Lu Zhong was the limit, but in fact, Chu Yun hoped that within a month, Lu Zhong would be able to destroy Qiu Chi, which would greatly make up for the prestige of the Ming Dynasty being defeated by the Great Liang Kingdom, and it would also shock the world. Qiu Chi was only two counties, and he had suffered a lot of losses in the big battle a few months ago, so Chu Yun didn't find it too difficult.

"In addition, I will send Cui Cheng and Fu Hong as your lieutenants, they have gone to Hanzhong to take over the army, you have something to ask them, these two people are still good. After a while, you go out and don't bare your teeth like a reward, and others will see that I will kill you. Chu Yun kicked Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong patted him indifferently, and after the two of them talked again, Lu Zhong immediately changed his face, and left in despair, Chu Yun looked at him like this, and felt that he had been deceived by Lu Zhong's honest appearance, this guy also had a lot of eyes, but Chu Yun didn't care.

Lu Zhong was revoked as a marquis, demoted to the founding of the country, and his position as a general was demoted to the commander of the Zhennan Army, and he immediately took office, and the news quickly spread all over the world.

Outside Chang'an City, the number of people who saw Lu Zhong off was more than half of the last expedition, but Lu Zhong didn't care, he secretly decided in his heart that when he came back from Qiuchi, this group of wall grasses would repay them well, Lu Zhong left very chicly, and the whole world fell into calm again, no one knew that under this calm undercurrent, the hidden violent fluctuations.

In November of the fifteenth year of Shengwu, the Ming Dynasty suddenly announced that the Qiu Chi State was abusive, and even fought against the Ming Empire, and the Ming Empire would carry out retaliatory actions. The Ming Dynasty appointed the founding Bo Luzhong as the commander, Fu Hong and Cui Cheng as the deputy commanders, and led the left and right armies in the five battalions of the forbidden army and the 20,000 most elite iron-blooded Praetorian Guards to attack Qiu Chi, and the news shook the world.

Lu Zhong actually commanded the troops again, and Fu Hong and Cui Cheng also entered the eyes of the world again. The combination of these three people is surprising, after all, Lu Zhong has just been defeated, and everyone thinks that he has fallen out of favor. As for Cui Cheng, this is also the case, after all, he has changed from a promising general to a civilian official, but he didn't expect to lead troops again. As for Fu Hong, he is simply a little transparent, originally he was the leader of the Di clan, he was idle for many years, and he only entered the Privy Council these years, and he didn't do anything, and he suddenly became a deputy marshal, which still surprised many people.

However, the experiences of these three people are put aside first, and Da Ming declared that he wanted to take revenge on the Chi country, but the discerning person could see that where is this revenge, this is to completely destroy the Qiu Chi. There are only so many people in Qiu Chi, and the 120,000 army is dispatched, which is almost equivalent to half of Qiu Chi's population. But this time the Ming Dynasty was too secretive, and when the Ming army entered the Qiu Chi, other countries knew the news and had no time to operate for them.

In the first month of the sixteenth year of Shengwu, after a month of bloody battles, the Ming army captured Qiu Chi Mountain, which symbolizes the supreme power of Qiu Chi State, this Qiu Chi Mountain is equivalent to the Daming Palace of the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Chi officially destroyed the country, Qiu Chi Emperor Yang Chu was captured, most of his harem concubines and children were caught, only the prince Yang Guo fled, but this has been to no avail, after all, the prince without his people is equivalent to an ornament. Just when Chu Yun held the annual Ming Dynasty Meeting, Daming received this exciting news, and everyone in the Daming Palace was excited for a while. This is also the second independent regime after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Yun ordered a large reward for meritorious personnel, and Lu Zhong was once again named the founding county marquis, and specially intended to inherit three generations, and the Lu family could at least maintain a hundred years of scenery. Lu Zhong was appointed as the general of the hussars again, and was ordered to guard Si Lizhou, as soon as this reward came out, everyone knew that they were played by Daming, where was Daming ready to abandon Lu Zhong, this is the fake news they released.

What makes other countries more afraid is Wang Jie's whereabouts, Wang Jie is the top general of the Ming Dynasty who is famous in various countries, his reputation is the same as Xie Ai, the previous wars of the Ming Dynasty are basically two people leading the troops, and have won victories again and again, and their reputation is great, their mobilization represents the latest military action of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know who Wang Jie is going to deal with this time, several enemy countries of the Ming Dynasty are going to have a headache. And with the destruction of Qiu Chi in a month by the Ming Dynasty, Da Zhao, who was about to move, fell into calm again, and the friction on the border also stabilized.

In addition, Fu Hong and Cui Cheng were also named Hou, but they were far worse than Lu Zhong, Fu Hong was named Anyang Township, and Cui Cheng was named Nanyang Township, neither of which added the founding of the country, and it can only be passed on for one generation, and the next one will be demoted to Tinghou. But in any case, they are also one of the very few people in the Ming Dynasty who can be crowned marquis, and they still have prospects for development, there are still many enemy countries in the Ming Dynasty, and they are not unable to continue to be promoted, for example, Cui Cheng was originally a pavilion candidate, and now he has become a townsman.

Fu Hong was appointed as the Qiuzhou Assassin History, this Qiuzhou is the two more counties of the Qiuchi State, which is also the eighth state of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty divided them into a state alone, just to let them integrate into the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and there is still a lot of resistance here, not to mention that the prince of Qiuchi has run away, and a powerful person is needed here, Fu Hong has become the new Assassin History, and he will be ordered to completely clean up the hostile forces and control Qiuzhou together with Liu Chen, the newly formed commander of the Southwest Army of the Ming Dynasty.

This southwest army is the Ming Dynasty's newly established four border armies in the southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast four armies, they are 30,000 people each, and the four expeditions and four towns are the same as the border army, their main role is to guard the border of the Ming Dynasty, but in the Ming army sequence, they only belong to the second class, the commanders of the four armies are the four generals, and the commanders of the four expeditions and four towns are the three products. Qiu Chi State borders on Tubo State, and this Tubo also has an impression in Chu Yun's heart, after all, Tubo Country Master Gu Mozhi estimates that there are few Chinese people who don't know. Daming is now bordering them, how could Chu Yun not be guarded, even if Tubo is still a small country that has just been established, Chu Yun will not be careless. The 30,000 southwestern army not only had to maintain order in Qiuzhou, but also to deter Tibet. And Liu Chen, the commander of the Southwest Army, is the eldest son of General Liu Dongyong, and he can be regarded as the queen of the generals, although they are born in the Huns, but there is no doubt about their loyalty.

As for Cui Cheng, who was promoted to a villager, he still has to continue to go to Wuwei County, which will be the front line of the Ming Xin's abnormal attack, and it is also the most suitable place for meritorious service, how could Chu Yun not help his son, even if he can only rely on Cui Cheng himself in some details, but in terms of general policy, Chu Yun has already designed it for him.

Cui Cheng and his little daughter-in-law are already married, and Cui Cheng's life experience has also become a child of the Boling Cui family, no matter whether Cui Cheng wants it or not, Cui Ning will convince him. And Cui Cheng's nominal mother became a woman named Cui Yan, this woman was the daughter of the previous head of the Boling Cui family, but she disappeared in the turmoil, and Cui Cheng became the nephew of the current head of the Boling Cui family as soon as she turned around, and his nominal mother is a brother and sister of the current head of the Boling Cui family. As for Cui Ning, she became Cui Cheng's adoptive mother, and after Cui Qiao's death, she raised Cui Cheng as an adult, and she herself was a collateral of the Boling Cui family, so this identity was perfect.

Boling Cui's family presided over Cui Cheng's wedding as his mother's family, they were very conscientious, they wanted money to pay, they wanted people to come out, they were just a medium-sized family in Shandong, struggling to survive under the rule of Da Zhao, and now a relative suddenly appeared, it was the marquis of the Ming Empire, and they were crying with joy. The current Boling Cui family is not the top family in the Tang Dynasty that even disdains the royal courtship. Chu Yun, the emperor, also sent people to send gifts, a full ten carts of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as Chu Yun's autographed inscription, which can be said to have given enough face, and everyone can see that Chu Yun values Cui Ci, the new marquis.

After Cui Cheng got married, he left his adoptive mother Cui Ning and his wife and children, Da Ming has planned to launch a new round of war within half a year, Wang Jie has secretly arrived in Liangzhou, Cui Cheng is responsible for the logistics of the army, he can no longer wait.

"Why don't you first cultivate the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting to perfection, and then practice the Torture of the Heart? After cultivating this exercise, you can't practice the same exercise again, but you don't say that you can't study it before. "Chu Yun was about to rest after a week-long cultivation, when he suddenly had a little inspiration.

The more Chu Yun thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely to be implemented, after all, the "Torture Heart Record" really did not say that you can't practice the same kind of exercises before cultivating, otherwise, the precautions should be "Only martial artists without mental power can practice" instead of "After cultivating the "Torture Heart Record", these two precautions are completely two concepts. Chu Yun wanted to ask about the system Chaodui, but this guy was busy, it might take decades or hundreds of years, and Chu Yun couldn't get in touch. But Chu Yun had already decided to practice the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" first, if it really didn't work, it would be a big deal to waste the work. Chu Yun didn't want to be the same as now, feeling tired after a few days of retreat, and the disappearance of his mental power had already affected Chu Yun's life and cultivation, and Chu Yun couldn't wait for decades.

Just do it when you think about it, Chu Yun will practice the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" from the next two months, because his body has cultivated to a very high level, so in just two months, Chu Yun has cultivated the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" from the sixth layer, and the feeling of mental recovery is really good, so that he will not feel tired when he does something, this kind of mental exhaustion is very torturous.

Just when Chu Yun was about to recover to the realm before he was injured in one go, the secret guard reported that General Hu Tiezhu had an urgent matter, and Chu Yun knew that unless it was a major event, Hu Tiezhu would never be able to find him, so he immediately went out.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou Yanzhou, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, is here, saying that there is important news to tell Your Majesty. After Hu Tiezhu finished speaking, Chu Yun immediately let Zhou Yan in.

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei received the news that Tiefu will face a catastrophe soon, Daiguo, Bald Xianbei and Rouran have gathered an army of 200,000 to prepare to completely destroy Tiefuxia, and their army will enter Tiefu's territory in ten days, this is the information that my secret eyeliner desperately sent, please take a look. Chu Yun's face sank, he didn't expect the enemy to make trouble for him at this time, you must know that the second battle of Liangzhou of the Ming Dynasty will break out in a month, at this time, something happened to Tiefu, how could the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, not care?

And Tiefu is the barrier of the Daming grassland, if Tiefu is destroyed, then the Ming state will definitely be exposed to the blade of the grassland people, and now after the annexation of Shangjun, it is the largest state in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most complicated state in the Ming Dynasty, several countries are bordered by the state, the pressure of Dazhao and Dayan makes Xie Ai under great pressure, of course, Dayan and Daming secretly ally is Xie Ai does not know. If you face a few more forces in the grassland, the state will really become a powder keg.

Now Tiefu's situation is very bad, he is really miserable by Daming, Tiefu now has three or four hundred thousand people under his command, which is stronger than Qiu Chi, and the grassland people, men can pick up bows and arrows to fight, and 100,000 troops can still make up.

However, the last time their 130,000 troops died in Youzhou, and the cavalry of the Tiefu clan was less than 50,000, which means that the rule of the Tiefu Xia Kingdom was not so stable, and the remaining half of the army were miscellaneous soldiers of the Zahu tribe, which could also be said to be Tiefu's slaves, let them work for Tiefu, that was really a joke.

What's even worse is that their Xia State Lord Liu Dog is no longer in charge of Tiefu, when he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yun quickly dug a pit for them, and consumed half of the Xia State's army, Liu Dog became Tiefu's sinner, he was spurned by the clansmen, and he was also disheartened, and stayed in the Ming Dynasty as his marquis, drunk and dreamed of death, and completely lost his fighting spirit. Therefore, Tie Fu was controlled by his son and nephew, and these two people were not in harmony and divided into two forces, which were all planned by the Ming Dynasty. The plan to weaken the Xia Kingdom was very successful, but no one expected that a wave of enemies suddenly appeared, although the Ming Dynasty stopped the plan to weaken Tiefu, but their strength has not recovered in recent years, in the face of more than 300,000 enemies, they will definitely lose if the Ming Dynasty does not make a move.

But when this news was delivered, it was already late, the armies of the three grassland forces were already about to reach the Tiefu territory, Chu Yun could fully imagine that the Tiefu people would definitely be defeated in a battle, they were worried about internal and external troubles, and they were completely on the verge of extinction, and they would be finished with just a light push. But ten days for Daming to be ready to support Tiefu, this can't be done at all, and it will take several days for the news to be delivered.

It seems that several forces on the grassland obviously pay attention to a quick battle, and they were able to hide until this time before they were discovered by Jinyiwei, and the Supervision Department did not get any news, so it can be seen how perfectly they concealed the news.

But let Da Ming ignore Tie Fu's life or death, Chu Yun can't do it, once Tie Fu is destroyed, the pressure on the state will increase greatly, even if Xie Ai is in charge of the state, there may be problems, the situation is too complicated, one negligence is a catastrophe. Therefore, Chu Yun was ready to tell the cabinet to let them continue to prepare for the Battle of Xiliang, and he was going to personally lead the troops to the grassland, and he had not had a painful killing for a long time, and Chu Yun's big sword was hungry and thirsty.
