Chapter 9: The Snake Swallows the Elephant (Part II)
How to say it, Chu Yun is a little afraid of this Fu Yi now, of course, not afraid of him himself, but afraid of the fact that the other party finds out that he doesn't know him, after all, he really doesn't know him, and Chu Yun doesn't know anything about the past, and even what his cheap Lao Tzu is called, Chu Yun doesn't know. These subordinates are all simple peasants, of course, sometimes they are simple, they will sometimes behave very brainlessly, very stubborn, if they let them know that they have amnesia, and they don't even know their old servants, then it will definitely deal a big blow to their prestige, and their small group may fall apart.
Don't think that Chu Yun is alarmist, the people at the bottom in ancient times did not have the same hatred for the scholars who pressed on their heads, that is, the privileged class, and almost everyone was used to this kind of inequality. Even in troubled times, these small people only complain a little, but they dare not have any hatred, this is the thinking mode that their ancestors have cultivated for generations.
When Chu Yun and Su Jin were in distress and came to the camp of the refugees, although the refugees showed more or less estrangement, but none of the refugees dared to do anything to Chu Yun and Su Jin, which was caused by the huge advantages of Chu Yun and Su Jin's identity, both of them were scholars, and if they were ordinary people, the two of them would have been swallowed to the point that there were no bones left.
It is precisely for this reason that Chu Yun relied on the advantage of his identity, and during the days when he did not recover, he successfully subdued everyone and became the leader, and they were afraid of Chu Yun's identity in their bones. But once they know that Chu Yun has amnesia, that is, he suffers from amnesia, then the situation will completely change, don't think that the protagonist will be like some middle, relying on amnesia to get by, in ancient times, the most common name for amnesia was called madness or soul loss, maybe it would be understood as offending ghosts and gods or ancestors not blessing and so on, so that Chu Yun's hard-built prestige disappeared.
The fools, although the most common and effective means of ruling the people by the ancient rulers, often dug their own graves. When provoked by religion or well-intentioned people, these fools will become the most irascible and stubborn beasts, enough to swallow all rulers in one gulp.
Chu Yun didn't want to be said to be crazy because he was told by someone with a heart, shaking the prestige he had built up with great difficulty in this small group, and then being abandoned. His current body is an ordinary person, if he wants to rescue Su Jin and live, he must not fight alone, a sharp arrow may not be able to kill his weak self, Chu Yun even moved to kill this Fu Yi.
The two of them walked out for a full few hundred meters before stopping, Fu Yi felt that his young master had really changed, Chu Yun was ruthless, he could see it clearly, he had some fear of Chu Yun in his heart, he honestly followed behind Chu Yun, waiting for Chu Yun's inquiry.
"Uncle Fu, how long have you been following my father, can you tell me about you?" Chu Yun finally spoke.
"Young master, I have been following the old master for more than ten years. Fu Yi told his own story, he was also a strong son in the countryside, during the Eight Kings Rebellion, they followed King Zhao to make a rebellion, and after the failure, they were saved by Chu Yun's father, Chu Yun's father even rescued some of their family children, and preserved the family inheritance of the Fu family, in order to repay the favor, Fu Yi followed Chu Yun's father on behalf of the Fu family, and he and Chu Yun's father were also brothers and friends, not an ordinary servant relationship at all. This rebellion of the Eight Kings can be said to be the most fierce imperial civil strife in Chinese history, and it is also the most brain-dead civil strife in Chinese history.
Chu Yun nodded after listening, Fu Yi was saved by his father in this world back then, not only for saving his life, but also for preserving his inheritance, which can really be said to be a great kindness for Fu Yi. Because during the Jin Dynasty, family inheritance was much more important than loyalty to the emperor, which was regarded as the most important thing by the scholars at that time.
"Uncle Fu, come and sit, I'll tell you something. Chu Yun solemnly pulled Fu Yi to sit on a stone.
"Young master, you say. Fu Yi sat precariously looking at Chu Yun.
"Uncle Fu, you watched me grow up, do you think I have changed a lot?" Chu Yun looked at Fu Yi and asked.
"Young master, you have changed too much, I even suspected that you were not my young master, you used to love reading and writing, your body was weak, and your personality was a little superficial, but now you have become mature and steady, and I can't understand some of your behaviors. Fu Yi said.
"Uncle Fu, let me tell you a secret, can you keep it from me?" Chu Yun looked around and said cautiously. Fu Yi stood up and looked like he was listening.
"Uncle Fu, let me tell you the truth, I have actually died once, I am really dead. I don't know why I didn't need to go to the underworld, my soul wandered between heaven and earth, and I saw countless Hu people slaughtering our compatriots, although I was angry but I couldn't do anything. I went to the south, and I saw that our Great Jin Dynasty was still drunk and dreaming of death in the south, and I didn't care about the life or death of the people in the north, and I was already a little numb. I walked in a chaotic way, and suddenly one day I met an old man like me, he told me, I have not reached the end of my life, said that I am the hope of the people of the world, let me save the people of the world, I woke up at once. I learned a lot in the process of wandering, but I can't remember a lot of things before, even Uncle Fu and I, but I will never forget the tragic situation of our compatriots and that person's entrustment. Uncle Fu, you're right, I'm not my former self anymore, you now know the truth, you can leave, I won't blame you, I don't think my father will blame you. Chu Yun told Fu Yi the excuse he had made, if this guy still insisted on leaving, Chu Yun would never let it go.
When Fu Yi heard Chu Yun's words, he knelt down with a face full of memory.
"Young master, the person you met must be one of the previous kings of my Chu country. At this time, I will no longer hide it from you, your Chu family and our Fu family are all Chu people, when the Chu State was destroyed by the violent Qin, we all changed our names and surnames and went to various places, but although Chu three households died in Qin and Chu, Xiang Yu later rebelled against Qin, our ancestors strongly supported it, it is not a secret, at that time, the co-owner of the world Chu Yi Emperor was your ancestor, but Xiang Yu actually killed Emperor Yi, our ancestors were very sad, and no longer supported Xiang Yu, so he was defeated and died, and our ancestors scattered to various places again. Changed my name and surname to live, for hundreds of years, some of us dissipated in time, and some survived, and the descendants of our Chu State are less than five in total, my Fu family and your Chu family have been watching and helping each other, and they have long lost their ambition to win the world, but now, young master, you have been blessed by your ancestors, and our Great Chu revival is hopeful, hahahaha. Seeing Fu Yi laughing wildly, Chu Yun was very speechless, is it really a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, is this okay?
"Young master, I will definitely do my best to assist you, the secret I want to tell you just now is actually about a treasure, which is beneficial to your great cause. Back then, we supported King Zhao, and the Chu family and the Fu family were both subordinates of King Zhao, but our Fu family was a help on the surface, and your Chu family was a secret help. Your father looted a batch of supplies for King Zhao, but he didn't expect King Zhao to fall too quickly, so he hid it. This is also the reason why the old man wants to go south so late, if the young master gets this batch of materials, then it will be of great help to your great cause. Fu Yi didn't care about those ancestors Chu Yun in the slightest, hundreds of years have passed, and there is a fart, but he is very interested in this batch of materials. However, when he learned that they were hidden in the northern part of Yizhou, Chu Yun extinguished his thoughts, the location there was equivalent to the northeast of Hebei in the later generations, and the place where Chu Yun stayed was hundreds of miles away, this distance was not a problem in the Xianwu Continent, but it was a big problem here. There was no way he could get his hands on it.
Chu Yun completely subdued Fu Yi, Fu Yi was more respectful to him than he was to his own Lao Tzu, Chu Yun knew that on the one hand, it was the grace of his dead father, and on the other hand, this guy had to rely on himself to realize his ambitions.
Chu Yun took eight of his subordinates and five subdued Wuhuan people, as well as Fu Yi and the two rescued slaves, and continued to march, preparing to clean up the other two groups of Wuhuan people.
Brother Lu has been sullen all the time, but when Chu Yun promised that they would meet their families soon, and they all handed in their names, they could only follow Chu Yun firmly. However, Lu Di still told Chu Yun that he didn't want to attack his own people, which of course Chu Yun would not agree, so Chu Yun agreed that they all wore a hood to cover their faces, which was also the origin of the famous "Hood Army" under Chu Yun.
Chu Yun killed twelve Wuhuan people and surrendered eight when one person was killed and one person was seriously injured, which brought the number of Wuhuan people under Chu Yun to twelve, because the one who died was a Wuhuan person.
After killing all the three hunting teams of the Wuhuan people, Chu Yun came up with another idea, he was going to send someone back, and then pretended that the hunting team was in danger, and asked the Wuhuan people to send someone to rescue, so that he could eliminate some of the Wuhuan people's manpower.
Chu Yun thought of it, on the one hand, he asked Lu Sheng, the Wuhuan man who was the most ferocious to kill his compatriots, to seduce the clansmen, on the other hand, he prepared a trap, and on the other hand, he sent people to mobilize the bolt's team, and now the eighteen people who originally followed Chu Yun were all equipped with real swords and guns, and there were also eight Han middle-aged slaves and more than a dozen Wuhuan people newly added, and the number of people under his command reached nearly fifty.
About a few hours later, Lu Sheng entered the trap with nearly thirty Wuhuan people, and Chu Yun gave an order, and after killing and wounding a dozen of them, nearly twenty Wuhuan people surrendered. Chu Yun asked them to hand in their names, and then used them as the strikers non-stop, killing the Wuhuan people's lair.
The nest of the Wuhuan people is divided into two parts, they are in a small mountain col, the front mountain lives the old and weak and most of the middle-aged people of the Wuhuan people, and the back mountain is stationed with 100 Wuhuan people and more than 100 Han slaves, who are responsible for raising horses, farming and other agricultural activities.
Chu Yun had already solved nearly seventy Wuhuan prime-aged men, so that there were more than a hundred Wuhuan prime-aged men left in Qianshan. There are already more than sixty people on Chu Yun's side, and with his intention or not, Chu Yun is very confident that he can take down the front village of the Wuhuan people, and then deal with the hundred and ten people in the back village, and completely complete the feat of swallowing the elephant.
"We're back. A group of people dressed in Wuhuan clothes returned to the Wuhuan station, and the Wuhuan children who were patrolling the mountain gate saw them open the camp gate without the slightest warning.
"Yes, I caught a lot of stuff this time. Xiao Shuai, who was guarding the door, greeted him with more than a dozen people, and he was full of smiles, so they saw the hares, pheasants, roe deer and even a wild boar in the hands of the hunting team, which was also the excuse for Chu Yun to ask Lu Sheng for help, that is, the hunting team was surrounded by wild boars.
"Kill. Suddenly, with a cold order, the oncoming Xiao Shuai was slashed to the ground, and the other Wuhuan people died one after another before they knew what was going on. The group immediately divided into three teams, and one team attacked the mountain gate between the front and back villages to prevent the support of the back mountain. A team slaughtered the adult's residence, and the thief captured the king first. A group of people shouted loudly for all the old and weak Wuhuan people to give up resistance, and killed those clansmen who resisted to the end, this team of people was led by Chu Yun himself, almost all of them were Wuhuan people, and they killed their own people without mercy.
Two hours later, the camp of the Wuhuan people was held in Chu Yunzhang's hands, the adults of the Wuhuan people were captured, and the rest of the clansmen gave up resistance when they saw this scene, and those who resisted stubbornly were killed. The Wuhuan people in the back mountain still don't know what happened.
"Master, we called them all. Lu Di wore a mask and refused to show his face in front of the clansmen, but Lu Sheng didn't care about it, all the Wuhuan people who took refuge in Chu Yun were actually led by him, Chu Yun saw his invincible appearance, but he was very satisfied, although this kind of person has no bottom line, but it is very easy to use.
"Lu Sheng, and you traitors, you actually slaughtered your own people, do you still have humanity?" The adult who was pressed was already in his sixties, and everyone in his tribe knew him, how could he not know Lu Sheng and these people who surrendered to Chu Yun, his angry scolding made all the Wuhuan people who took refuge in Chu Yun bow their heads deeply.
"The old immortal, the one who knows the times is Junjie, we were originally slaves of the Han people, it was the Han people who did not embarrass us, we can live here, and now we are just returning to the Han people. If you don't know the times, don't blame me for not thinking about the love of the same race. Lu Sheng deserves to be the best Wuhuan person, Chu Yun and the others haven't spoken yet, he was the first to stand up and retort, and the adults who spoke his words were speechless.
Chu Yun whispered something in his ear, and he stood up again: "Everyone knows me Lu Sheng, I have taken refuge in this Lord Chu Yun Chu, he is not only the royal family of Chu State, but also the son of the family of the Great Jin Kingdom, he is an old man with a good heart, and promised your submission, if you return to Young Master Chu, then you will have food to eat, and you don't have to die, if you refuse to submit, then this is the end." Lu Sheng killed the adults around him with a single sword, and the Wuhuan people harassed for a while, but still no one rushed up and dared to avenge their adults.
Soon some of the Wuhuan people will surrender, most of these people are the families of those Wuhuan people who have returned to Chuyun, Lu Shang has to look at it with ambition, the more people who surrender, the greater his credit, but there are still half of the Wuhuan people who do not speak, nor do they surrender, in order to silence the resisters, Lu Sheng was furious when he saw this scene.
He walked over and dragged out a sturdy man, this person is called Lu, he is a little handsome, his prestige is very high, he is most likely to inherit the position of an adult, and he is also the object of Lu Sheng's envy, because of his non-surrender, so this half of the people have the confidence.
"All of you. Lu Sheng held a hand, and the fifty or so Wuhuan people who had newly surrendered to Chu Yun all walked over.
"A man slashes him, and whoever does not slash will die. Lu Sheng threw a knife in front of them. Chu Yun commanded his subordinates to all draw their weapons and support Lu Sheng, and the first person picked up the knife tremblingly.
"Xiaoshuai, don't blame me. The Wuhuan man slashed at Lu with his eyes closed, Lu was so pained that his face struggled, but he couldn't shout, his mouth had already been blocked.
With the first one, there was the second, and more than fifty people acted no matter what they thought, and Lu Sheng was very satisfied. He looked at the half of them who had refused to surrender just now, and this time most of them had also risen up and surrendered.
Chu Yun has controlled more than a hundred Wuhuan prime-aged people and nearly two hundred Wuhuan old and weak, and now his plan has basically been realized, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, this time it is really very dangerous, maybe he will have to get in, but now he has succeeded.
"Kill all those who still refuse to obey. Lu Sheng faithfully carried out Chu Yun's order. Because it was getting late, after Chu Yun and the others had a big meal, they were going to deal with the enemy in Houzhai tomorrow, but they didn't expect that before they could do anything, the people in Houzhai first discovered the changes in Qianzhai.
When Chu Yun woke up, Lu Sheng came to report that more than 100 Wuhuan disciples and more than 100 Han slaves were shouting at the mountain gate of the back village and the front village, Chu Yun put on his clothes and walked out.
