Chu Yun had a rare good relaxation for a few days, and in these few days, he enjoyed the blessings of Qi with Liu Xi's crown princess Hu Yannan and Liu Yao's daughter Anding princess Liu Mei. Although Chu Yun was strong at the beginning, once it became an established fact, they really regarded themselves as Chu Yun's women. Chu Yun was originally meant to vent, but now that he is so obedient, what else do I have to vent, so Chu Yun's movements are getting bigger and bigger. When Chu Yun left, the two women were still holding each other and sleeping on the bed, and the two of them were scarred on their white and jade-like skin. The tears in the corners of Liu Mei's eyes were still so tempting, but Chu Yun was about to leave resolutely.

Shangtai, a city of many disasters, has experienced two military disasters, and the people who have suffered a lot have finally ushered in stability, but there is still a long way to go to recover from their wounds. The population of Shangqi is completely half, and almost all the princes and ministers are dead, if it weren't for You Ziyuan to let Chu Yun take action to protect some talented ministers, it is estimated that they would all be dead.

Chu Yun's army changed from a tyrant to a law enforcer, except for leaving five thousand people to stabilize the situation, the rest were all stationed outside the city to recuperate, after all, many of them hadn't closed their eyes for several days. The recognition of Chu Yun by the whole army has also reached a very terrifying level, although there are Huns, Qianghu, Di people, and Han people among these people, but they only recognize General Lu Ling now.

Chu Yun pretended to denounce Shi Hujun's atrocities, and pushed all the actions he had done in the past few days on Shi Hu's body, anyway, Shi Hu's reputation had already stinked on the street, and he didn't care about spilling more sewage. Then after the execution of thousands of Shihu troops in front of the people of Shangtai, the situation in Shangqi was completely calmed down, and Chu Yun began to count the harvest after he was busy. Shangqi is the last place of refuge arranged by Liu Yao, and he is also very wealthy, and it is also a region for raising horses, so Chu Yun has gained extremely richly.

The grain he scavenged from Shangqi was not inferior to the grain stock in Chang'an, and he also got more than 50,000 war horses, as well as mountains of armor materials, which were enough for Chu Yun to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops in a short time, so Chu Yun waved his hand and gave his subordinates rich rewards, which made the morale of Chu Yun's cavalry even higher.

Then Chu Yun informed the local forces of Qinzhou in the name of Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, to come and see him in person, and recruited troops on a large scale in the Shangqi generation, in case someone did not obey the order. Chu Yun successfully took over the thirteen counties occupied by Shi Hu, and wantonly recruited those who surrendered to Shi Hu, this group of guys Chu Yun is not ready to clear, after all, most of them are the leaders of the Qianghu and Diren tribes, once the killing is opened, the entire Yongzhou and Qinzhou may be turbulent, but this group of guys is not ready to be put back, Chu Yun is ready to raise them, and then slowly annex their subordinates.

In addition, there is a big threat to Qinzhou, and now Qianliang has also sent a large army to capture several counties in Qinzhou, Chu Yun is ready to drive away the wolf, use the strength of these tribes to consume Qianliang's troops, and then completely annihilate the Liangzhou army, so that Qianliang will never stretch out his claws for a short time. Chu Yun has this confidence, because under Chu Yun's recruitment regardless of his previous suspicions, at least half of the large and small forces in Qinzhou quickly took refuge in Chu Yun, and the Qiang Di troops under him reached tens of thousands.

Chu Yun wantonly sealed officials in the name of Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, to appease these Qiang tribes, and half of the territory of the entire Qinzhou was stabilized.

However, the king of Di Pu Hong and the Qiang chief Yao Yizhong, who were valued by Chu Yun, had not moved, and just when Chu Yun was about to send troops to coerce the two, Qianliang suddenly accelerated the speed of the invasion, and the generals Song Ji and Wei Su commanded an army of more than 30,000 people and 30,000 Qiang Hu cavalry besieged Xiangwu County, the county capital of Longxi County, and the county guard of Longxi County continued to ask for help from Shang. The county guard of Longxi County did not know that the crown prince Liu Xi had been killed and that Qianzhao had actually perished, but the reason why he did not surrender was that he did not want to take refuge in Qianliang. Because Qianliang has a lot of gaps between Qianliang and Houzhao, and the king of Nanyang just defeated Qianliang's army a few years ago, making everyone feel that there is no future for Qianliang.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chu Yun decided to let go of the two people of Puhong, the king of Di, and Yao Yizhong, the chief of Qiang, and first went to resist the attack of Qianliang, Longxi is the forefront of curbing the expansion of Qianliang, and there are complete fortifications, which were personally supervised by Liu Yao, Chu Yun does not want these fortifications to be destroyed, otherwise Longxi will completely lose the role of defense. In case Qianliang and Shi Le send troops at the same time again in the future, Chu Yun will be very passive, and he must ensure that Longxi County is in his own hands.

Moreover, Chu Yun also received a letter from You Ziyuan, in which You Ziyuan told Chu Yun that as long as he repelled Qianliang, Pu Hong, the king of Di, Yao Yizhong, the chief of Qiang, and others would definitely surrender, and during this period, these two people would never dare to make trouble for Chu Yun. You Ziyuan was once ordered to quell the rebellion of the rebels of the Qianghu and Di people, so his judgment of the two people was unbelievable to Chu Yun.

Therefore, Chu Yun left his henchman Wang Jie to lead 5,000 veterans and more than 15,000 recruits to garrison Shangqi to prevent a crisis in Qinzhou, and then led 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 Qiangdi coalition troops to Longxi.

The regime of Qianliang is actually quite interesting, Zhang Liang is undoubtedly the founder of Qianliang, and the next few leaders are ambitious, whether it is Zhang Yu, Zhang Mao's brothers, or Zhang Yu's son, Zhang Jun, the current king of Qianliang, has tried his best to expand his power out of Liangzhou. However, although the ambition is not small, the strength does not match, and they can only rely on the strong.

They successively attached themselves to the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, the former Zhao, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even briefly called the Li clan of the Cheng Han Dynasty. Of course, they were attached to the strong, which gave them the opportunity to be safe, and their national fortunes were at the forefront of so many countries in the North and the South. However, this also has a lot of harm, after all, they are called ministers every year, so that they feel that they are really a head shorter than others from top to bottom, so that they have really not rushed out of Liangzhou for so many years. The only time they were beaten by Qian Zhao was bruised and swollen, unless they were attacked and they were in danger, their combat effectiveness was speechless. They later fended off the three wars of destruction of the country by Later Zhao, but they did not achieve any victories outside of Liangzhou.

Now the former Liang State advocates Jun can be said to be among the lords of the past dynasties, he once took advantage of the great war between the former Zhao and the Later Zhao, and finally rushed out of Liangzhou and occupied a large territory in Qinzhou. However, at present, Zhao vacated his hand, and Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, beat them back to their original form. It's not that Liu Yin is powerful, otherwise he wouldn't be vulnerable in front of Shi Hu, it's really that Qianliang's army doesn't have the confidence to occupy Qinzhou for a long time from top to bottom, they are used to being younger brothers, and they are not used to becoming bosses all of a sudden.

This mentality was not slowly reversed until Zhang Jun worked hard for more than ten years and became the king of the system, but it is a pity that after Zhang Jun's death, in the face of the civil strife in the Central Plains, Qianliang did not do anything, and their internal disputes intensified, consuming the last bit of Qianliang's spirit.

Therefore, the current Chu Yun has a psychological advantage in the face of Qianliang's aggression. When Chu Yun's army arrived in Longxi County, the former Liang generals Song Ji and Wei Su retreated directly for more than ten miles, and even gave up Xiangwu City, which was about to be breached.

However, Chu Yun did not intend to let them go, Chu Yun personally led the army to follow behind the former Liang army, and in the face of the pressure of Chu Yun's army, the former Liang Qiang Hu allies actually abandoned Song Ji and Wei Su and fled directly, which made the former Liang army feel cool and cool.

The two of them actually gave up several county towns they had occupied one after another, and fled to Jincheng County without firing a shot, Chu Yun, who originally thought that there was a hard battle to fight, was dumbfounded, but Liu Dongyong and the Qiang Yi leader who came with Chu Yun were accustomed to it, and they were not surprised by this scene.

Chu Yun finally caught up with the tail of the Qianliang army in Jincheng County, and the Qianliang army was not without warriors, and a captain launched a counterattack in a desperate situation, blocking the continued pursuit of Chu Yun's army, and also causing more than 100 casualties to Chu Yun's army. However, this was the only casualty of Chu Yun's army, and Chu Yun took his subordinates to show off their martial arts in Jincheng County before returning to Longxi County. The county guard of Longxi County had died in battle, and Chu Yun gave him a beautiful funeral, and then left Yang Sheng as the county guard of Longxi County to integrate the army of Longxi County. Yang Sheng was also the first general under Chu Yun to be promoted from an ordinary general to a county guard, and when Chu Yun left, he led all the officials of Longxi County to kneel down to see Chu Yun leave, and this deferential attitude made Chu Yun very satisfied.

Longxi County has always been on the front line of confrontation with Qianliang, so there are not many troops, but it is because of Shi Hu's entry that Qianliang takes advantage of it. Therefore, Chu Yun felt that there were 30,000 troops in Longxi County and a strong city to rely on, and Yang Sheng's military talent was also extraordinary and loyal, so there should be nothing wrong with it. Later facts did prove Chu Yun's assumption.

Soon after Chu Yun returned to Shangti, Pu Hong, the king of Di, and Yao Yizhong, the chief of Qiang, really did the same as You Ziyuan said, and came to express their submission in person, Chu Yun personally met with the two people, and the two people left a deep impression on Chu Yun, in order to facilitate the control of Di and Qianghu, Chu Yun appointed the two people as high-ranking officials, and took them with him, and then returned to Chang'an City together.

In December 229 AD, with the support of Chu Yun, Liu Yao's eldest son, Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, was proclaimed emperor and officially became the new emperor of Former Zhao. His subordinates were very puzzled that Chu Yun did not claim the title of emperor, but Chu Yun knew that this was definitely not a good opportunity for him to officially come to the forefront.

Now Yongzhou and Qinzhou are not stable, and there are still many people loyal to Qianzhao. Moreover, Chu Yun's defeat at that time was secretly controlled by an extremely large force, Chu Yun couldn't find these culprits, and rashly claiming the title of emperor might cause their ideas. And there is also a very important point, Chu Yun did not let the Iron Blood Army come to the front from the new in order to ensure the safety of a series of his henchmen back then.

The masked man next to Shi Sheng is called Shi Zhan, his real identity is actually Chu Yun's apprentice Ran Liang, Ran Liang was captured by Shi Le, Ran Liang was deeply loved by Shi Le, in order to protect those iron-blooded military subordinates who were captured by Shi Le, he followed Guan Yu's Tucheng about three things, surrendered to Shi Le, and was accepted by Shi Le as a righteous son. The fate of this root in history is extremely similar, but this time he did not become Shi Hu's adopted son, but became Shi Hu's godbrother.

When Chu Yun and Ran Liang recognized each other, Ran Liang told Chu Yun everything, and Chu Yun was greatly moved, but in order to let Ran Liang rescue those old subordinates who were still imprisoned by Shi Le, Chu Yun let Ran Liang leave with Shi Sheng. If Chu Yun rashly played the banner of the Iron Army, these old vassals imprisoned by Shi Le might be in danger, and even Ran Liang might be in danger, so Chu Yun would suppress his ambitions and support Liu Jian to ascend to the throne.

No one has any opinion on Liu Jian's ascendancy, not to mention that Liu Yao's descendants except for Liu Jian were all killed, even if Chu Yun supported it, no one objected. After Liu Jian ascended the throne, Chu Yun was appointed as the prime minister, the hussar general, the captain, the Duke of Chu, plus Jiuxi, the establishment of the Chu State, the fief was most of Qinzhou, and commanded all the armies of the former Zhao, visited the nameless, the sword went to the palace, such as Xiao He, Cao Cao's old affairs, and became the real controller of the former Zhao. And Liu Jian ordered Liu Mei, the princess of Anding, to marry Chu Yun as a side room, which consolidated Chu Yun's position.

Chu Yun handed over all government affairs to You Ziyuan, and he began to reorganize his army, and Chu Yun wantonly recruited Han Chinese to serve in the army, diluting the absolute number of Hu people. and established the Eighth Army of the Guard, which was directly under the Prime Minister's Office.

The Eighth Army was divided into eight armies, each with 20,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, all of which were mixed military systems, and Wang Jie, Yang Ye, Zhang Yun, Liu Dongyong and other descendants were generals.

The above-mentioned armies are all hung under the Prime Minister's Mansion and belong to the troops directly under the Prime Minister, and Chu Yun set up the Chu Gong Army in the name of the Duke of Chu, with 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, reaching a shocking 80,000.

In addition to these 240,000 troops, Chu Yun also set up four armies directly under the imperial court: the Eastern Army, the Western Army, the Southern Army, and the Northern Army. Nominally, they are all 50,000 people, but in fact there are only 30,000 people, and although the Eastern Army and the Southern Army are nominally led by Puhong, the king of Di, and Yao Yizhong, the chief of Qiang, they are actually both nominally, and the actual controllers of the two armies are in the hands of Chu Yunyan. Both of them were officials in Chang'an before they were trusted by Chu Yun.

The Eighth Army of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the personal guards of the Duke of Chu were stationed in Chang'an to defend Chang'an and defend against attacks by Shile's army from the east. The four expeditionary armies, the nominal armies of the imperial court, were all stationed in the four directions, the Eastern Army, the 10,000 Chu Gong Guards and the Right Army of the Prime Minister's Eighth Army, the three armies totaled 60,000 people, led by Lu Zhong and stationed in Shangqi, Qinzhou, which was the core of Chu Yun's fief to protect the stability of Qinzhou. The Western Army was led by Yang Sheng and stationed in Longxi County to defend Qianliang. The Zhengnan Army was stationed at the junction of Cheng'an and Qinzhou to defend Chenghan, while the Zhengbei Army was stationed in the north to defend against the Shile army on the front line of Bingzhou.

When Liu Jian was proclaimed emperor, Shi Sheng and Shi Hu were defeated one after another, and the whole world was shocked.

Xiangguo City, in the palace of King Zhao. Shi Le looked at his godson Shi Sheng, who was already insane, and his godson Ran Liang, who was kneeling in front of him, and was silent, he really didn't expect that Qianzhao, who was on the verge of extinction, would be dead.

"You mean, all of this was done by Liu Yao's eldest son, Liu Jian, the king of Linhai?" Hearing Ran Liang recount the matter, Shi Le asked. Of course, Chu Yun pushed everything on Liu Jian, after all, he didn't want to attract Shi Le's attention, so Ran Liang's rhetoric was all arranged by Chu Yun and him.

"Yes, father-in-law, the child saw with his own eyes that Liu Jian's martial arts are no higher than those of the child, and I wanted to take Shi Sheng to kill him at that time, so I simply fought him, but in this short period of effort, it can be seen that Liu Jian's martial arts are really unfathomable. Ran Liang said with his head.

"Liu Yao, Liu Yao, I said that you will not admit defeat no matter how you die, it turns out that behind your two waste sons, there is still such a backhand, what likes Han literature is not welcomed, it is all arranged by you, it is really amazing. Shi Le didn't doubt Ran Liang's words, Shi Le originally felt unreal about defeating Liu Yao so easily, but now that Liu Jian was born, it made Shi Le relieved. And after Shi Hu was captured and Liu Jian became emperor, Shi Le recognized Ran Liang's statement.

Shi Hu was captured to make the city of Xiangguo happy, from the important ministers to the commoners almost everyone is like the New Year, it can be seen how unpopular Shi Hu is, but correspondingly in Shi Hu's old nest Yecheng is like a mourning test.

Shi Hu's sons immediately entered Xiangguo to ask their uncle Shi Le to rescue their father, although Shi Hu is like a devil among the ministers, but half of the generals in the world are Shi Hu's subordinates, they are afraid that the master Shi Hu is really gone, they will be implicated, so for a while, many generals in Later Zhao asked Shi Le to rescue Shi Hu. Of course, Shi Le's subordinates were unwilling, and the two sides were arguing and making Shi Le have a headache.

Unlike Shi Le, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which had just pacified the rebellion of Su Jun and Zu Yue, was greatly pleased, although the destruction of the Western Jin Dynasty was done by the Huns, but the powerful families in the south were unwilling to let the former Zhao perish. Because of the fall of the former Zhao, Shile almost unified the north, so who is the next target? Therefore, with the support of Wang Dao and Yu Liang, Emperor Jin Cheng was forced to send an envoy to Chang'an to congratulate Liu Jian on his accession to the throne, and to ask for a secret alliance against Shile. Of course, they didn't dare to ally with the Xiongnu regime on the surface, after all, they were enemies, but politics were dirty, Wang Dao and others knew how to choose, and Emperor Jin Cheng had no real power, although he didn't want to, he could only agree.

Cheng Han Li Xiong shouted luck, he didn't think about sending troops to get a piece of the pie, but he was worried about causing a big disaster for Cheng Han, and under hesitation, Qianzhao actually rose again, so how could Li Xiong not feel lucky. Therefore, he immediately sent an envoy to Chang'an to congratulate Liu Jian on his accession to the throne and expressed his deference.

Unlike Li Xiong, Zhang Jun, the former king of Liangwen, was almost not angry to death, when Shi Le sent an envoy to contact Zhang Jun to carve up the territory of Qianzhao, Zhang Jun, such an ambitious king, of course nodded and agreed, after all, Qianzhao had just cleaned them up, and Zhang Jun still wanted to take revenge. However, he received the battle report from the front, and the news that the army had retreated back to Jincheng.

Zhang Jun is still generous, he ordered to comfort the defeated generals Song Ji and Wei Su, but when the news came back, he knew how incompetent and shameless these two guys were, at that time, the military strength of the two sides was about the same, and the former Zhao had just pacified Shi Hu, it can be said that when the most vain, these two guys didn't even have the courage to face head-on, so they ran back. Zhang Jun was furious and wanted to behead two people, but was finally persuaded by other subordinates.

But Zhang Jun calmed down and put a question in front of him again, you must know that he originally received the canonization of Former Zhao, and under Shi Le's bewitchment, he directly sent troops to attack Former Zhao, and now Former Zhao has survived, in case they don't let him go, what should he do? Zhang Jun sent people to consolidate Jincheng County on the one hand, and sent people to Chang'an to reclaim his vassals, and on the other hand, he sent people to Xiangguo for help.

In Chang'an City, Zhou Yan secretly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Chu Yun.

"What? You said that you found some inside stories in the palace archives that conspired against my Predator Army back then?" Chu Yun slapped the table and stood up after listening to Zhou Yan's words.
