Chen Lin, Huang Yan and others were surrounding Gao Shun in front of them at this time, all of them with horns in their mouths: "Oops" non-stop. At this time, Gao Shun washed off his face and changed into the clothes borrowed by the Hu people, only to see a glance of heroic, majestic appearance, coupled with a tall figure, he was a typical Kansai man. I saw Gao Shun with a straight face, knelt down on one knee, and bowed to Chen Lin: "A certain Gao Shun, the home has been lost, and Lord Chen has saved him from the sea of suffering. ”

Chen Lin originally just wanted to rescue Hanmin, but he never thought that Gao Shun was such a talent, so he was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "Gao Shun, can you have a table?" Gao Shun: "Shun was born poor and never had a word. Chen Lin said again: "In the future, you will be like others, call the eldest young master, the adults are not good all day long." ”

Gao Shun bowed solemnly: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, if my lord dislikes the adults and does not listen to it, by the way, he will be commensurate with the lord in the future, and the lord is on top, and he will be worshiped by Gao Shun." Huang Yan nodded again and again, and when everyone saw Gao Shun treating Chen Lin like this, they also recognized Gao Shun a little bit in their hearts, but they felt that Gao Shun was too serious.

On the second day, Rand Ambition took Chen Lin to the camp of Qiangqu Danyu, and Chen Lin specially bought a good horse for Gao Shun. Originally, Qianghu was very good at buying horses, but he couldn't bear Chen Lin's sincerity, and he just wanted one. On the way, Chen Lin saw that Gao Shun's equestrian skills were also very high, and said to Gao Shun: "How is Gao Shun's martial arts?" Every time Gao Shun asked Chen Lin to ask, he responded with a serious eight hundred: "Lord, although Shun is ten years older than Huang Yan and Zhou Cang, I am afraid that the martial arts are comparable to Huang Yan's housekeeper, but I am slightly inferior to Zhou Cang, I am ashamed." ”

Chen Lin laughed, he can be the same as Huang Yan, he is already a rare good hand, although Huang Yan is good at shooting, his martial arts have never fallen, although he is not as good as his father Huang Long, as well as Cai Yang, Zhou Cang and others, but it is not low, but Huang Yan is calm, and he shoots it with bows and arrows, outsiders don't know Huang Yan's martial arts, but Gao Shun can see at a glance that Huang Yan is only slightly inferior to Zhou Cang, it seems that Gao Shun's martial arts are also quite powerful. Chen Lin was overjoyed in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that his kindness would allow him to accept such a person. He also asked: "Can you know the art of war, military, or political and literary affairs?" ”

Gao Shun responded: "Lord Yu, Shun is not good at governance, not good at horse warfare, but he only understands the law of the infantry army." Along the way, Chen Lin chatted a lot with Gao Shun, Gao Shun was born poor, but he secretly practiced martial arts all day long, and borrowed a military book from the three elders in the countryside and read it for more than eight years. Originally, I wanted to sell it to the emperor's family with this to gain fame, but I didn't want to be famous, my family was ruined, and the older I was, Gao Shun no longer wanted to be famous.

Huang Yan always secretly listened to the conversation between Chen Lin and the two on the side, and couldn't help but admire Gao Shun more. It is a hundred miles away from the Rand Department to where the Qiangqu is now, and everyone is galloping on light horses, and they can reach it in one day. When it was about to get dark, Chen Lin and the others came to a huge camp, which was the department of the former Youxian King of Qiangqu, and now the Shan Yu Department. At this time, there are more than 10,000 people and horses, and many herders are busy driving their sheep into the improvised fence.

Rand Ambition had a smile on his face and said proudly: "I Qiangqu alone only had five or six thousand warriors in the original tribe, and the whole people were only more than twenty thousand, but now it has grown to forty or fifty thousand herdsmen, and there are nearly 10,000 warriors on horseback. A certain disagrees with the black-faced Bai Yong, and is embarrassed to call Shan Yu, phew. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, his eyes were worried, the development of Qianghu had lost control, and if he didn't try to deal with it as soon as possible, there would be endless troubles. reported Chen Lin's identity, Chen Lin and the others did not see Shan Yu, and a Han military attache rushed over: "My lord, but the new Xiongnu Zhonglang general sent by the imperial court?" ”

Chen Lin was quite happy to see the Han people here, still in the army, and he was afraid that he would be disappointed when he heard the Han general's eagerly question. Said helplessly: "This official Chen Lin Chen Bozhi is the captain of the Sili Colonel Cao Zhi, who escorted Lord Cai Bojiao to Shuofang before, and heard about the changes in the Southern Huns, so he went straight through the desert south to come here. Sure enough, the Han general was full of disappointment: "A certain is General Zhang's original command of Sima, after the death of the adult, a certain became the commander of the Han army here, a certain surname Zhang Mingcheng, the word self-built, Hedong people." ”

Chen Lin came this time to find the Han army as the main one, but as for Qiangqu Shan Yu, Chen Lin didn't care too much. Zhang Cheng saw that he met the officials of the Han Dynasty here, and heard about Chen Lin's purpose, he was very impressed, and hurriedly welcomed Chen Lin and others to the Han army camp, and Chen Lin discussed with them all night.

It turned out that Zhang Xiu's main willingness to kill Hu Zheng Shan Yu was not as said outside, but because Zhang Xiu found that Hu Zheng Shan was secretly accumulating strength, and there was a great possibility of uniting Xianbei in the north, so he killed him, and established the pro-Han Qiang Qu as Shan Yu without going through the court. I don't want Zhang Xiu to be attacked and killed by Bai Yong, the son of Hu Zheng, on the way to move from Shangjun to Qiangqu, more than 1,700 elite Han people, now there are only more than 800 left, and even Zhang Xiu is dead. Now Zhang Chengguan is the highest in the army, and he has naturally become the commander of these 800 people. The Xiongnu Zhonglang General has been in the land of Qianghu for a long time, and from time to time he has to suppress horse thieves, and he has also practiced a good riding skill and good skills, plus he is well-equipped, and is equipped with a unique crossbow of the Han Dynasty. The so-called foot crossbow is this kind of crossbow, which needs to be pedaled to pull the string, which is full of power. In this way, there are horses to walk on the march, and when the battle is dismounted, the Han crossbow has become a nightmare for the Hu people.

When the Han Emperor ordered the land of the Hetao to be given to the Hu people to release horses, there were only 40,000 or 50,000 Hu people in the entire Hetao, and now the entire Qiang-Hu has a population of 340,000, and 100,000 troops can be sent in wartime. The number of Qiang people who migrated from the west was small, only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and they became an independent part and ignored the affairs of the Southern Xiongnu. Now Qiangqu and Baiyong are facing each other in the Hetao Plain on the left and right, the Qiangqu is in the west, not far from Shili Mountain, Baiyong is in the east, and Yulin is around. The two of them each control a population of more than 100,000 Hu people, and many of the rest are waiting to see the two of them compete for the position. At present, Qiangqu and Bai Yong have not openly broken up, but they are working hard to win over all ethnic groups and tribes to support themselves as Shan Yu. It is no wonder that there are only more than 40,000 or 50,000 herdsmen in the Qiangqu tent, and if it is carried out, there will be no less than 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers.

Chen Lin had a conversation with Zhang Cheng, and made up his mind that it was bound to make the competition between Qiangqu and Baiyong as long as possible. And he also wants to involve the Hu people who are still watching now, and let them consume the Qiang Hu Qingzhuang, and even the Qiang people don't want to stay out of the matter. So he wrote a letter overnight and said to Huang Yan: "Huang Yan, you will personally return to Luoyang on this trip, and hand over this letter to your mentor Lord Yang, and you must not fall into anyone's hands, anyone, can you do it?" ”

So Huang Yan took four guards from the north to Luoyang, Chen Lin continued to stay here, and now Chen Lin did not dare to tell Zhang Cheng about his plan. Since Chen Lin sent Huang Yan away, he only looked here and there in the camp every day, and was very curious about the Hu people, and also inquired about many things about Qiang Hu.

Four or five days passed, Chen Lin really couldn't wait for Huang Yan, at this time he didn't know if Huang Yan had arrived in Luoyang, and when he returned, he didn't know when he would wait, so he decided to go to see Qiangqu and start to implement the plan. Chen Lin had no choice but to find Zhang Cheng to introduce you: "Master Zhang, this official wants to see a Qiangqu Shan Yu, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Oh, I don't know why? Seeing this, Chen Lin asked tentatively: "I don't know what Lord Zhang thinks of the Qianghu on this Hetao Plain?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "The responsibility of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General is to protect the Xiongnu in the name of supervision, if the Southern Xiongnu is not used by the Han, it will be a big disaster." Chen Lin saw that Zhang Cheng had some general opinions with himself, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what Lord Zhang can do, how will my big man act?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Like Lord Zhang, the selection of pro-Han people is Shan Yu." Zhang Xiu thought like this, so he hurriedly set up Qiangqu as Shan Yu. Chen Lin thought to himself, this is not a long-term solution, and it is not good to let Qiang Hu be strong after all. So he told Zhang Cheng what he thought in his heart, and Zhang Cheng couldn't imagine that Chen Lin would think of using the dispute between Qiangqu and Baiyong to consume Qianghu's strength, so he couldn't help but high-five: "If Master Zhang is alive, it must be like this." ”

So Zhang Cheng took Chen Lin to see Qiangqu, saying that the Han Inspector was here and wanted to see Shan Yu. Qiangqu met Chen Lin in the big tent, Chen Lin saw Qiangqu for the first time, and there were two rough mining men with thick waists and round heads standing beside Qiangqu with a square face. Qiangqu was quite refreshing, pulled the leg of mutton, and gave half to Chen Lin, Chen Lin has always been Wen Zewen, and when he meets Wu, he is rough, and he grabs it unceremoniously, and Zhou Cang and Gao Shun stand straight behind him.

Qiang Qu laughed and said: "Warrior, adults have the style of warriors, not like other Han people, they are not happy, hahaha." Chen Lin: "I have heard for a long time that the right virtuous king of the Huns is arrogant, he is a hero of the world, and now he has done Shan Yu, and his bravery is undiminished, and the official respects Shan Yu." ”

Qiangqu laughed, and then said gloomily: "It's hateful that barbarian who is brave and unconvinced." After saying that, he took a bite of the mutton, as if it was Bai Yong's leg. Chen Lin lowered his head and smiled, raised his head but said solemnly: "This official heard that Bai Yong is just the son of Lao Shan Yu, where can he compare to Shan Yu's half bravery." I heard that the hundred brave people only won more than 100,000 people, and Yu Yu was in charge of more than 200,000, and the warriors alone were no less than 50,000 people. Chen Lin knew that Qiangqu actually controlled more than 100,000 people.

Qiangqu was even more angry when he heard Chen Lin say this: "Ah, ah, Lord Chen doesn't know, there are nearly more than 100,000 people who don't know Qingbai, and they don't admit that Ben Shan is Shan Yu, nor do they say that Bai Yong is, just a bystander, and he is angry with Ben Shan Yu." ”

Chen Lin pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Could it be that someone wants to make himself king? Qiang Qu slapped the meat case and was furious: "Who dares, this Shan Yu is the real Shan Yu." Chen Lin snickered: "My big man has a saying, which changes over time, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to subdue that Baiyong for a while, and others will inevitably have two minds." ”

Qiang Qu: "According to the adult's opinion, should this order be cleaned up as soon as possible?" Chen Lin: "Exactly, Shan Yu just said that there are nearly 100,000 people with unclear attitudes, how can Shan Yu know that those people have secretly formed a hundred braves, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating." Qiang Qu couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up from the ground again and again.
