Chu Yun was the first to get the news of the arrival of the imperial court envoy, and Chu Yun already knew about it when the imperial court envoy entered Xihe County. It was Chu Yun's old acquaintance eunuch Cao Miao who came to announce the decree, because he was very successful in announcing the decree to Chu Yun last time, so he was promoted to a regular attendant, which was almost the peak of eunuchs at this time. Chu Yun wanted to ease relations with the imperial court and was ready to greet Cao Miao with great fanfare, but at this time, Mao Yu came to announce that Liu Kun's envoy Liu Ding had arrived in the city of the eldest son.

Compared with the envoy of the imperial court, Liu Ding's identity is certainly not worth mentioning, but in a sense, Liu Kun's attitude towards the iron-blooded army is more important than that of the imperial court. Because Liu Kun can threaten the security of the rear of the Iron and Blood Army at any time, and since Liu Kun cleaned up the details of the Supervision Division, Chu Yun's control over Jinyang's information has been greatly weakened, and Chu Yun also wants to know how Liu Kun will explain to him. Liu Ding's person, Chu Yun, has always had investment, even after Liu Kun attacked Shangdang County. Although Liu Ding has no ability, he is righteous enough, and to a certain extent, Liu Ding has made great contributions to the rise of Chu Yun, if it wasn't for Liu Kun's strong recommendation to Liu Kun, Liu Kun would not have recruited Chu Yun with the help of Xianbei people at that time. Liu Ding's investment has also been effective, and Liu Ding's construction of the Supervision Department in Jinyang has helped him a lot. And last year, he was able to tell himself the plan of the imperial court one step ahead, no matter what, Chu Yun received this feeling.

"Someone came to take the angel to rest, let Mo Han accompany him well, and I will go to see Liu Ding first. As soon as Chu Yun finished speaking, Cui Zhen ran in.

"Brother-in-law, something is wrong. Cui Zhen held a bamboo tube and shouted, seeing that this was the letter delivered by the carrier pigeon of the Iron and Blood Army, Chu Yunzou frowned.

"Bastard, what kind of style is it to shout and scream? On formal occasions, you should call me the governor, and I have told you how many times? Do you want people to think that you are a nepotist? Look at Guo Yong, who is about the same age as you, and he has already led an army. Chu Yun reprimanded, after this kid experienced the blow, although he was a little calmer, he was still a little frizzy, no wonder Chu Yun wanted to take him with him.

"Sister, I know it's wrong, this is sent by Liu Bi and Liu Tongjun, Qianghu's 30,000 troops entered Kouxihe County, and now Lin County is surrounded. Chu Yun's face changed after hearing this, and he took the letter.

"Pass my order, the Iron Blood Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 2nd Cavalry Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, and the 4th Cavalry Division all assembled, appointed Zuo Song as the cavalry commander, and led the 1st Cavalry Division and the 4th Cavalry Division to rescue Xihe County first. "The tiger doesn't threaten you, you're my sick cat, I was trying to clean up Shangjun without an excuse, and now he actually sent me an excuse.

After the order, Chu Yun still went to see Liu Ding first, and as soon as the two met, Liu Ding stood up very embarrassed, but Chu Yun still enthusiastically pulled Liu Ding to sit down.

"Brother Liu misses me to death, our brothers haven't seen each other for a year, Brother Liu is still personable, I don't know how many girls in Jinyang have been fascinated. Chu Yun is very good at easing the atmosphere, Liu Ding likes to drink and be a woman, as soon as he mentioned this Liu Ding's embarrassed look, he talked to Chu Yun, left and right is just which woman is how, although Chu Yun is not interested, but still pretends to listen to it well.

But after talking for a while, Liu Ding stopped, his expression became guilty again, and Chu Yun didn't speak, waiting for Liu Ding to speak.

"Brother Chu Xian, you also know my status in the family, I basically don't have any skills except for eating, drinking and having fun, I know how Brother Xian treats me, but I really don't know my father's decision, if Brother Xian blames me, you can do it for your brother. This time, I came on my father's order, and he asked me to invite you to Jinyang. Liu Ding said with a wry smile.

Chu Yun had a smile on his face, this Liu Ding was really sincere, but it was precisely because of this that Chu Yun would maintain a good relationship with Liu Ding, and become friends with him, at least he would not worry about betrayal, and he would not have to spend so much brains.

"Brother Liu, I have never blamed you, what to do with you, my matter with Liu Tingshi does not affect the interaction between the two of us, and besides, Lord Tingshi is also an elder whom I respect very much, I think he was deceived by the villain, so he did such a thing that made his relatives and enemies happy. By the way, Brother Liu, I don't know what happened to Lord Assassin Shi asking me to go to Jinyang?" Chu Yun asked, Liu Ding was relieved to hear Chu Yun, but thinking that his father invited Chu Yun, it must be a Hongmen banquet, how could he answer?

Liu Ding rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and then muttered, "Actually, I don't know what my father is looking for you." Chu Yun saw Liu Ding's expression and knew that Liu Kun's attitude towards him was still hostile, this kind of person did not change his impression of a person so easily, and he seemed to have to guard against Liu Kun in the future, after all, Liu Kun and Tuoba Xianbei wore a pair of pants, if hundreds of thousands of troops killed Shangdang County, then it was not a joke.

"Dudu, the angel has come to the city of the eldest son, and he has asked you to go and receive the holy decree. Mao Yu, who had been arranged a long time ago, came in and said, since Chu Yun got the news he wanted, there was no need to waste time, if usually, Chu Yun liked to talk to Liu Ding, but Xihe County was being attacked.

"Brother Liu, let's go together. Of course Liu Ding refused to go, and Chu Yun soon left alone.

There are also advantages to dealing with eunuchs, with the help of sufficient money, Cao Miao can't wait to worship Chu Yun as an ancestor, so after Chu Yun came, he didn't have to put incense on the table or kneel down to receive the decree, Cao Miao respectfully handed the holy decree to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun didn't even look at it and handed the holy decree to Mao Yu, the biggest feature of people like Cao Miao is that they know how to read words and looks, he didn't wait for Chu Yun to speak, so he spoke first: "Hou Ye, this time I want to congratulate Hou Ye, the imperial court named Hou Ye as the candidate of Wu'an County, the general of Zhennan, the official position of Zheng Erpin, has the right to use troops independently, and named Hou Ye as the Great Honglu and the servant, Da Honglu is one of the high-ranking officials of the Jiuqing, Hou Ye was valued by the court at a young age, it is really gratifying." ”

Hearing Cao Miao's words with a smile, Chu Yun didn't expect that the imperial court had invested so much, whether it was General Zhennan or the county magistrate, it was a first-class reward, and when the imperial court was stable, these two positions would not be obtained without spending a lifetime. These two civil officials are not bad, Da Honglu is in charge of the affairs of the princes and ethnic minorities, and Chu Yun can arrange the handling of Hu people's affairs on behalf of the imperial court, for example, Chu Yun can completely excuse the Qiang Hu in Shangjun not to obey the king's orders. and then used his identity as the general of Zhennan to crusade against them, this is a righteous and completely legal act, and Chu Yun is still quite satisfied.

Cao Miao has been observing Chu Yun, looking at Chu Yun's indifferent expression, he doesn't understand what Chu Yun means, it is said that the reward of the imperial court is big enough, do you still want to be a product at such a young age, or do you want to be a prince?

"Zhongguan Cao, I don't know what the imperial court wants me to do?" Chu Yun asked with a flat glance at Cao Miao.

Cao Miao was glanced at by Chu Yun, and he actually felt trembling all over, and a huge incomparably cold welled up in his heart. Seeing that Cao Miao had met Sima Yan, the founding monarch of the Jin Dynasty, he actually found that the coercion given to him by this Chu Yun, who was only in his twenties, could be compared to Sima Yan, the Jin Wu Emperor? He was both frightened and shocked, could it be that this Chu Yun was the new True Dragon Emperor? You must know that the current Emperor Sima Ye's power is not as powerful as Chu Yun's.

For a while, Cao Miao's heart was very complicated, and he said with a more respectful attitude: "Lord Hou, the imperial court has seen the demeanor of the army under your command, so it wants you to send troops to Pingyang, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that as long as you can capture Pingyang, there is no problem with being crowned king." ”

Chu Yun laughed out loud after hearing this, this court is really interesting, Cao Miao has always accompanied Chu Yun to laugh. Suddenly, Chu Yun turned to look at Cao Miao, looked at Cao Miao with emotionless eyes and asked, "Lieutenant Cao, do you think I should carry out the orders of the imperial court or refuse them?"

Cao Miao's heart jumped wildly, and after a long time, Cao Miao bent down deeply and said, "The general will not suffer from the life of the king outside." ”

Chu Yun stretched out his hand and patted Cao Miao's shoulder, turned around and left, and when he was about to walk out of the door, Chu Yun turned around and said, "Zhongguan Cao, I admire you very much, if there is a prosperous day, you will come to me, and I will keep you safe for the rest of your life." After speaking, Chu Yun left.

The order of the imperial court is simply child's play, let yourself fight the Huns, this is to send yourself to death, whether it is the Chang'an court or Shile and the iron-blooded army, now they do not have the strength to deal with the Huns alone.

But Chu Yun will not fall out with the imperial court, his attitude must be expressed, under the attention of Cao Miao and other imperial court envoys, Chu Yun trumpeted that he was preparing to go to Pingyang, and martial law began to be imposed in Shangdang County and Xihe County, as if he was nervous on the eve of the war.

In mid-May, accompanied by the imperial court envoy Cao Miao, Chu Yun took the Iron Blood Division and 18,000 people from the Second and Third Cavalry Divisions to gallop towards the Shangdang, and Liu Ding had already returned to Jinyang, since Chu Yun obeyed the orders of the imperial court, he did not believe that his father would target his good brother Chu Yun.

Chu Yun brought all the cavalry, and after more than half a month, everyone had arrived in Lishi City, and along the way, the Iron and Blood Army respected Cao Miao's messenger very much, which made Cao Miao, who had been extremely miserable in Chang'an, feel the feeling of power for the first time, this feeling made him intoxicated, of course, he still didn't dare to go to Chu Yun's side.

Of course, Chu Yun's suppression of Cao Miao that day was not a shock to the tiger's body, and the Wenchen and military generals came to vote for the king's hegemon. It was he who used the momentum of a martial artist to suppress it, which made this Cao Miao have a fear of surrendering to himself. The respect of his subordinates for Cao Miao and others is also a strategy, his own coercion of him and the respect of his subordinates for him, this tightening and loosening, let Cao Miao plant the seeds of surrender in his heart, and when he goes back to Chang'an, this person can become a nail in the nail of the iron-blooded army in Chang'an, and sometimes it is unreliable to just spend money to buy.

The army arrived at Lishi City, Zhang Tong, Ma Liang and others came out to greet all the military generals of Wenchen, and held a grand banquet for Chu Yun and Cao Miao, Cao Miao also had a certain understanding of the strength of the Iron Army, in his opinion, Chu Yun's Iron Blood Army was much stronger than the army of Chang'an, of course, he did not think that the Iron Blood Army could enter Pingyang, for the Iron Blood Army was going to attack Pingyang, Cao Miao was worried about the Iron Blood Army in his heart, which no one could have imagined.

Three days later, Chu Yun announced with great fanfare that he would lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Pingyang, and the day before the expedition, in front of Cao Miao, several bloodied soldiers came to Chu Yun.

"Report to the governor, Lin County, Yuanyang, Yuanyin several counties were besieged by the Qianghu army, the enemy rode horses reached 100,000 people, several counties are in danger, ask the governor to rescue. Hearing the 100,000 Qiang Hu, Cao Miao and the others, who were following Chu Yun to inspect the army, changed color. Of course, this is all Chu Yun scaring Cao Miao, and the other party only has thirty or forty thousand people. The effect is obvious, Cao Miao and the dozen or so people he brought were frightened, Lin County and Shicheng were only a few dozen miles away, and the cavalry of the Iron Blood Army was only 18,000 people, if they were defeated by 100,000 Qianghu, wouldn't their lives be in danger.

That night, the imperial court delegation said goodbye to Chu Yun, and Chu Yun kept him many times, they just wanted to leave first, and Chu Yun had to agree.

"Cao Zhongguan, angels, you have also seen that it is not that I, Chu Yun, am unwilling to contribute to the imperial court, but that the threat of Qiang Hu is imminent, and I hope that the angels will explain to Your Majesty. "Including Cao Miao and the others, they all accepted a huge bribe from Chu Yun, plus Cao Miao and took refuge in the Iron Army, so everyone patted their chests and promised that they would help him speak in the imperial court.

The next day, Cao Miao and his party left Lishi City, escorting them to the 100 forbidden troops sent by the imperial court, as well as 300 cavalry of the Iron Blood Army, most of them will not return, they will become the first wave of secret agents of the Supervision Department in Chang'an, and some will go to the territory of Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, Qinzhou.

And Chu Yun also took the Iron Blood Division, the Second Cavalry Division and the Third Cavalry Division to officially send troops to Lin County, and more than Liu Qian, who had been sent by Chu Yun a long time ago, had already arrived, don't look at the Qianghu people's attack was very urgent, but it was completely impossible for them to break through several county towns reinforced by the Iron and Blood Army.

Chu Yun went with a large army in order to defeat the Qianghu army in one fell swoop, and by the way, to recover the large territory occupied by the Qianghu people in Xihe County. As for attacking the territory of the Qianghu people, they still need to wait for the infantry division of the Iron Blood Army to come.

After the end of the Jin Dynasty, the ethnic minorities led by the Wuhu have moved inward, of which the Wuhu refers to the five ethnic minorities of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Di and Qiang, of course, there are other miscellaneous Hu, but the influence is small, Chu Yun's general Liu Bi's father Liu Bao was born in Zahu, Zahu is those small tribes that wander around the large army, which is equivalent to the black household in the Han people, which is not recognized by the big tribe and belongs to the lower class of the Hu people.

Among them, the Xiongnu occupied most of Sili Prefecture and were attacking the Chang'an generation of Yongzhou, they occupied the most prosperous place in the whole of China, and they were also the first to claim the emperor and become the leader of the Hu people.

And Xianbei occupies a large territory in the north, with Youzhou taking refuge in Duan's Xianbei, they are stronger, of which Xianbei is divided into several large tribes, such as Tuoba, Duan, Murong, Bald, etc., they almost occupy the grasslands in the north, if it weren't for their internal discord, they are the number one force in the world.

The Qiang Hu were scattered in Bingzhou, Sili Prefecture and Liangzhou, mainly in the northwest, and they were the protagonists of the Hu people before the Jin Dynasty, and the Qiang uprising in the Han Dynasty occupied most of the entire northwest turmoil in the Han Dynasty. Most of the famous Ma Teng and Han Sui's armies were Qianghu. But now that their majesty is gone, they are divided into large and small tribes, but they are still numerous and widely distributed, and Chu Yun will face them next.

The Qiang people are a very special existence among the Hu people, that is, the native people of Shile, they have most white blood, according to the perception of people at the time, they are the devils who are comparable to the powerful ghost Yaksha, of course, their behavior is indeed worthy of the name of the devil. They controlled most of the Central Plains under the leadership of Shi Le, and Shi Leqi people were at least deeply influenced by Han culture, and they were a normal person, and they were not bad to the Han people. But after the death of Shi Le, the emperor Shi Hu of the Qiang people was simply a pervert, he did not treat the Han people as people at all, and under his rule, the Qiang people wantonly killed the Han people, and the entire Central Plains region was ten rooms and nine empty, which caused the later Wu Mourning Heavenly King Ran Min, issued an order to kill Hu, and he almost wiped out the Qiang people. Later, a part of the Xianbei people became the subordinates of the Xianbei people, and under the leadership of Hou Jing, they launched a rebellion and almost wiped out the Xianbei people. Later, they surrendered to the Southern Dynasty (the four countries of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen after the Eastern Jin Dynasty) to replace Emperor Wu of Liang of Later Qi, launched a rebellion in Jiangnan, and almost killed the Han people in Jiangnan, until Chen Ba, the founding emperor of Later Chen, who finally replaced Later Liang, killed all the Liang people, and the Qin people withdrew from history. In the past two hundred years, the people of all ethnic groups have killed more than 10 million people, and they were the first to do cannibalism. Of course, now under the leadership of Schle, they are still thriving.

As for the Di people, now they have established the Qiuchi country, and they are steadily developing in Gansu, they are very sinicized, except for clothing and some customs, they are basically no different from the Han people, and they are also one of the five Hu that destroys the Han people the lightest.

Chu Yun's next step is to deal with Qianghu, this part of Shangjun Qianghu is not the largest gathering place of the Qiang people, their main gathering area is still in Liangzhou, but this part of Qianghu also has more than 100,000 people, occupying the vast area of Shangjun, almost all of them are soldiers, with a total strength of 70,000 or 80,000 people, plus some miscellaneous Hu, the total strength of these people can reach 100,000. This is not a small amount for any one force. It's a pity that there are frequent internal disputes in Qianghu, and there is no leader who can be widely recognized.

Some of them were loyal to the Huns, some took refuge in the Xiliang Zhang family, and some were self-reliant, among which the number of people who took refuge in the Zhang family was the largest, after all, the Xiliang Zhang family had a good relationship with most of the Qianghu tribes in Liangzhou. Love the house and Wu, the Qianghu people in Shangjun also prefer the people of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family has material support, and under the advantages of the other, of course, their power is getting bigger and bigger.

This time, several big tribes of Qianghu united to enter Kouxihe County, it was the ghost of the Zhang family, I have to say that the Zhang family has gone through decades of development of Zhang Rail, and it is really a one-handed cover in Xiliang, but Chu Yun is not so easy to bully, his purpose this time is to completely annihilate the 30,000 Qianghu cavalry, completely defeat the spirit of Shangjun Qianghu, and try the bottom line of the Zhang family in Xiliang by the way.
