Chu Yun's first priority when he came to Chang'an was to sell himself. Promoting oneself is a very hot topic in later generations, compared to later generations in ancient times to promote oneself is a very difficult technical job, the Qin and Han dynasties were filial piety, and the Sui, Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties had imperial examinations. But in the messy Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, things must be compared with family background, and the existence of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system does not need you to sell yourself at all, as long as you have a good father. If you don't have a good background, it's very difficult, and the ancient rulers were moody, and they had nowhere to reason if they were slaughtered because they didn't like it.

Everyone has heard of He's Bi, but Bian He, who found He's Bi, was cut off because he recommended He's Bi to the King of Chu several times in a row, and it wasn't until King Wen came to power that he believed his words and dug He's Bi out of the stone, proving Bian He's vision and ability. Many people think that Bian He's recommendation is jade, which is not to promote himself, but if you think about it carefully, Bian He's purpose in selling this piece of jade is not to promote himself and make a fortune? Bian He was cut off his left foot for the first time he met King Li, and his right foot was cut off for the second time he met King Wu, so it was very risky to recommend himself in ancient times.

The main problem that Chu Yun will face is how to make Liu Xi, the former prince of Zhao or Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, notice him, even if he can't reuse himself, he must be familiar, so that he can gain certain rights in this battle to destroy the former Zhao and realize his revenge. And this time must be fast, otherwise Liu Yao was quickly defeated by Shi Le, but Chu Yun did not gain Liu Xi's trust, then everything would be in vain.

In fact, there are many successful cases of selling yourself in history, which seems to be a good reference. The most talked-about thing is naturally that Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, which is the highest level of recommending himself and letting the leader take the initiative. The story of Sangu Thatched House is very exciting, but if you study it carefully, you will find that the whole story is very simple, that is, Zhuge Liang's elders, classmates, friends, younger brothers, scholars, farmers, shepherd boys, and a series of people either directly or indirectly outlined to Liu Bei a Wolong with talents from heaven and earth, hooked up with Liu Bei, and finally everyone was happy. This story made many literati in later generations envious, and they wanted to replace it with their own lives.

In the 5,000 years of Chinese history, Zhuge Liang is not a minority, and the most important thing about these people who have successfully promoted themselves is fame. To be an official in the Qin and Han dynasties, you need to be recommended by others and become filial and honest in order to be an official. As for how to get recommended by others? It depends on who is more famous.

Of course, there are other ways, such as being like Mao Sui, so that the leader can see your ability. But Liu Xi lives in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, and Chu Yun doesn't know the specific location, so he can see the recommendation back then. Chu Yun's first step was very simple, so that Liu Xi and Liu Yin had heard his name, so that they could think of him at a critical time. Fame is useless at the bottom, it is only when it reaches the ears of the rulers.

Chu Yun is a person who takes one step and sees three steps, since he has come to Chang'an, he has a way. Although this solution is a bit risky, it is very promising. This method is related to Liu Yao's eldest son Liu Jian, that is, the unlucky guy who was captured by Chu Yun back then. In Shangdang County that year, Chu Yun set up an ambush to shadow Liu Yao, Liu Yao is also an old fox, he let his son Liu Jian, who was not liked by him, be a scapegoat, he ran away himself, and as a result, his son Liu Jian was captured.

Liu Jian's life in the Iron Blood Army is still very good, although this guy is a Huns, but he is tranquil by nature, except for some fear of death, there is not much problem, Chu Yun also takes good care of him, he has lived in the Iron Blood Army carefree for many years, Chu Yun personally gave him a marriage certificate, and he even gave birth to several children. But after the defeat of the Iron Army, Liu Jian was returned to Liu Yao by Shi Le, of course, Shi Le was to mock Liu Yao, after all, his son had been in the hands of the enemy for several years, and it was a shame no matter how he looked at it.

Sure enough, Liu Yao didn't give Liu Jian a good face, and after restoring him to the king of Linhai, he threw it aside. However, Liu Yao's favorite son Liu Yin did not get well, and Jin Zhun rebelled that year, killed the emperor Liu Ji, and slaughtered the Liu royal family in Pingyang. Liu Yin's grandmother Hu and uncle were both killed, Liu Yin fled, and he panicked and fled to the tribe of Black Hidden Yuju. Later, although Liu Yin came back, he lost his qualification as the prince because he had been exiled for several years. Liu Yao's youngest son Liu Xi successfully ascended to the throne.

However, although Liu Yao has such and such shortcomings, his son is very harmonious, much better than the royal families of various countries who killed each other in the royal family later. Liu Jian, Liu Yin and Liu Xi have a good relationship, especially Liu Jian and Liu Yin, when Liu Jian gave his son to Liu Yin, he is still grateful. Although Liu Yin is not the crown prince now, he is also the king of Nanyang, and Da Dan is in high power, and even Liu Yao made Liu Yin's mother Bu Shi the queen of Yuan Mourning in order to compensate.

Chu Yun was going to use Liu Jian's mouth to recommend himself to his younger brother Liu Yin, and then get in touch with Liu Xi. Of course, Chu Yun would not use his real name to find Liu Jian, otherwise, even if Liu Jian had a good relationship with Chu Yun, he would not recommend Chu Yun to his brother, after all, Chu Yun's appearance would definitely threaten their Liu family. But he disguised himself as someone else, but Liu Jian didn't care much, Liu Jian missed the old love very much, at least he wouldn't be betrayed by Liu Jian even if he didn't succeed. The only thing I am worried about is whether Liu Jian will recognize him, although his appearance has changed greatly, Liu Jian is still very familiar with him after all. Therefore, pretending to be who can solve this problem is key.

The person who Chu Yun disguised must have a certain status, but not too high, must also have certain military merits, but not too much, and have a friendship with Liu Jian, but cannot be too familiar, which is difficult to choose. Chu Yun finally thought about it again and again, and decided to disguise himself as Lu Ling, a Hun surnamed Lu who had taken refuge in him very early, this person was not as powerful as Lu Zhong as the commander of a cavalry division, nor as famous as Lu Sheng and Lu Di, this person was a rising star, and his position was just a deputy brigade commander, but he also had many military exploits. And this person is somewhat similar to Chu Yun's body shape and appearance, and even better is that Lu Ling was sent by Chu Yun to serve Liu Jian for a period of time when he was young, although it was not long, but the two also had a friendship.

And Lu Ling's identity is a Huns, in the former Zhao of the Huns in power, he will definitely be more important than the Han people, Chu Yun is ready to borrow his identity to visit Liu Jian, as for the excuse or something, it is better to say, he is down, go to see Liu Jian for help, isn't it normal?

Chang'an is a city with amazing vitality, in recent years, Chang'an has suffered from repeated wars, but it is still so prosperous, and it is still the largest city on the whole planet today. After Liu Yao moved the capital to Chang'an, he forcibly moved a large number of Hu and Han people into Chang'an, so Chu Yun was an eye-opener along the way, wearing strange Hu people and all kinds of goods, which was more prosperous than the largest city in Chu Yun's original hands, Lishi City.

However, in the midst of prosperity, law and order are also very corrupt, warriors with weapons can be seen everywhere, and even fights and brawls in front of the public are not dealt with, Chu Yun encountered three troubles along the way, but it is not trouble, Chu Yun just made a move, the real trouble is Chang'an Order, after all, Chu Yun killed more than 30 people, even if it is a numb court, this is also a big case.

The geographical location of the Linhai Royal Mansion is very remote, far away from the palace, and it can even be said that it is in a corner of Chang'an, which can also see how unpopular his master is. When Chu Yun came to the door, the two men sat listlessly in front of the gate basking in the sun, they didn't worry about anything going wrong, after all, no matter how much the King of Linhai was, he was also His Majesty's own son.

"Two, may I ask if this is the palace of Liu Jian, the king of Linhai?" The two men were sleeping soundly, and suddenly they heard someone talking to them, and the two of them turned over very impatiently, and wanted to continue sleeping.

Unexpectedly, this person still didn't give up, the two of them were a little annoyed, and one of the thin and tall men stood up first, "You and him", before he could scold, a piece of yellow-orange-orange gold blinded his eyes. The other chunky doorman did not hear his companion's movement, he turned over, and saw his companion staring at a small piece of gold in a daze, and the stocky doorman ran at a speed disproportionate to his size, grabbed the piece of gold, and put it in his mouth.

"It's true, haha, it's true. This short and fat doorman looked at the tooth mark and laughed, and the other tall and thin doorman finally reacted, he took three steps and made two steps, and pounced on his companion, and the two of them actually fought for a piece of gold, Chu Yun knew that his friend Liu Jian was worse than he imagined, and his relationship with his brother was not as good as he said, otherwise his disciple would never be able to fight at the gate of the palace for a few rewards.

The fight between the two finally alarmed the master of the mansion, although Liu Jian did not come out in person, but Liu Jian's eldest son Liu Feng came out, this Liu Jian is ten years older than Chu Yun, and now he is in his forties, his eldest son was in Shangdang County, and now he is fifteen years old, not a few years younger than his uncle Liu Xi.

Liu Feng scolded the two of them angrily with an ugly face, and finally the gold was confiscated by Liu Feng, and the two men wanted to cry without tears, and finally Liu Feng saw Chu Yun, Chu Yun wrapped himself tightly in a tattered robe, and Liu Feng couldn't see Chu Yun's appearance.

"The eldest young master has grown so big, I still served the prince in the Liu family for a period of time, and the eldest young master was still young at that time, so he can't remember me. I don't know if my old friends came to disturb, is the prince going to send me to the government, or is he going to invite me in for a big meal?" After Chu Yun finished speaking, Liu Feng's face changed, he was fifteen years old and already married, how could he not hear the meaning of Chu Yun's words, their family originally lived in Shangdang County, Liu Feng was also very impressed, and now Chu Yun's words meant that he was the old man of the Iron Blood Army and hoped to take refuge in his father. But everything about the Iron Army, his grandfather Liu Yao has always valued it, and people who meet the Iron Blood Army will not be polite. What he wanted to do did did make it difficult for Liu Feng to choose, but in the end, Liu Feng still didn't report to the official.

"Since you are an old man, then come with me, and I will go and tell my father. Chu Yun didn't say anything and followed in.

Liu Feng served Chu Yun some food, although it was not rich, but Chu Yun ate it unceremoniously, Liu Feng came to his father's yard and struggled for a long time before walking in.

"Father. Liu Feng respectfully met Liu Jian, Liu Jian was holding a bamboo slip to look at the crystal taste, his interest in Han culture far exceeded others, which is why he has not suffered a little blow for so many years, after all, for a harmless person, the vast majority of leaders will show their tolerance.

"Well, take it yourself if you want to see what. Liu Jian thought that his son was coming to accompany him, so he didn't say much.

"Father, in fact, I didn't come to read with you today, I have something to look for you. Liu Feng is still a little entangled, he told his father about this matter, and his father will definitely take care of it, but he will definitely make his imperial grandfather unhappy, which is really troublesome. Liu Feng would never have imagined that his imperial grandfather would never come back.

"If you have something, just say, this "Bamboo Weng Miscellaneous" is really good, don't delay my time. Liu Jianshu didn't put it down, so he urged.

"Father, there is a person from outside the house today, who said that he is the old man of my father, and he once watched me grow up. After Liu Feng finished speaking, the bamboo slip in Liu Jian's hand fell on the table with a snap.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Jian said with a shocked face, when the iron-blooded army was defeated, Liu Jian didn't want to use his identity to help some friends survive, but he was just a disgraceful prince who was captured, and he didn't have much right to speak, so Liu Jian watched some friends for many years die or disappear, and it has been a heart disease in Liu Jian's heart for so many years. Even after so many years, Liu Jian was very grateful to Chu Yun for being grateful to the Iron Blood Army and treating them as friends, but now when he heard that his old friend came to him, he actually wanted to cry.

"Take me there. When Liu Jian and Chu Yun finally met, Chu Yun was very emotional, when Liu Jian was captured, he was still in the prime of life, and now he is full of gray hair. Chu Yun slowly untied the cloak on his face, and a face full of scars leaked out, although it had been so many years, Chu Yun's face still had a lot of scars, which showed how ruthless those people were back then.

"Are you?" Liu Jianzou frowned and recalled the identity of the person in front of him, although he was a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember it, he would never think about Chu Yun, after all, he thought that Chu Yun had died in battle.

"Brother Liu can't remember me, no wonder, I haven't seen me for so many years, and I've become like this again. Back then, I was appointed by the governor to serve Brother Liu for a period of time, after all, we are all Huns, and I rarely saw Brother Liu when I entered the army. Chu Yun didn't say the name of the person he was pretending to be, which must have made Liu Jian think of it himself, and he would be able to bring them closer to each other.

"Brother Liu, what is this title?Lu Ling, are you a little bell?, how did you become like this?" Liu Jian finally remembered, he grabbed Chu Yun's hand and laughed, Chu Yun could see that he was really happy.

In the evening, Liu Jian set up a family banquet to invite Chu Yun, and called his wife out, his wife was a woman from the Hu family in Shangdang County, and the Hu family also had a presence in the Iron Blood Army back then, so he was very friendly to Lu Ling, that is, Chu Yun, who came from the Iron Blood Army.

In the evening, Liu Jian pulled Chu Yun to drink all night, and the two of them talked about their previous lives with emotion, Chu Yun pretended to drink too much, and kept complaining that he had no talent, and that he would never perish if he was the commander of the iron-blooded army. Lu Ling kept boasting to Liu Jian about how superb he was in leading troops, although Liu Jian was not interested in leading troops, he still agreed. Chu Yun just wanted to leave an impression in Liu Jian's heart that Lu Ling had a high ability to lead troops.

As the days passed, Chu Yun became a teacher in the Linhai Palace, teaching Liu Jian's sons to practice martial arts, after all, the Linhai Palace was not valued, even if it was to appoint him a palace governor, it would be meaningless. Liu Jian was not once approached by the crown prince and the king of Nanyang, which was unexpected by Chu Yun.

Chu Yun stayed in Chang'an for two months, Liu Jian came to chat with him if he was fine, and his life was comfortable, but as a news spread in Chang'an, the entire Chang'an suddenly became turbulent, when Chu Yun heard the news, he was overjoyed, Liu Yao, this bastard, killed how many brothers of the Iron Blood Army back then, and now that the army is defeated in Luoyang, people don't know whether they are alive or dead, which can be regarded as retribution.

"Liu Yao, if you let my family die, I won't let you have a good time. "Chu Yun will not let Liu Yao go because he may be dead.

A few days later, a few days before the New Year, more accurate news came that Liu Yao had been captured by Shi Le. In the news, Liu Yao was completely looking for his own death, Shi Le led the army from Xiangguo day and night, but Liu Yao took the beauty to have fun, and when Shi Le suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yao, Liu Yao panicked.

He hurriedly ordered his army to lift the siege of Luoyang, and hastily set up a formation in the west of Luoshui, and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command were out of order, stretching for more than ten miles from north to south. When Shi Le saw this scene, he immediately knew that he had won, and he ordered his nephew Shi Hu and his adopted son Shi Kan to each lead an army to attack Liu Yao from the east and west, and he opened Luoyang City to attack Liu Yao's Chinese army.

It is rumored that Liu Yao fell from his horse when he was retreating, suffered more than ten injuries on his body, and was captured by Shi Le's adopted son Shi Kan. However, Chu Yun didn't believe that a master of the Divine Stone actually fell from his horse and was injured, and in more than a dozen places, Liu Yao must have been besieged by a master before he was defeated. Shi Le beheaded more than 50,000 people in this battle, and also captured tens of thousands of prisoners, and Liu Yao's elite was swept away.

At this time, Liu Yao was not the Huns when Liu Cong was alive, when Liu Cong was there, the five Huns could make up hundreds of thousands of elites, and the Huns army was a real elite soldier at that time, they were all proficient in cavalry and archery battle arrays, and the Huns were overwhelmed by the world.

But after Jin Zhun's rebellion and more than ten years of degeneration, the new generation of the Xiongnu is no longer good, so Liu Yao's rout this time can be said to have scrapped more than half of the elite of the former Zhao.

And what made Former Zhao even worse was that after Liu Yao was captured, Former Zhao couldn't find a blade to lead the troops, when Liu Cong was in power, there were hundreds of thousands of generals, and everyone could lead 100,000 elites to fight, which is gone forever.

In the past few years, the former Zhao would have been unable to sustain it if Liu Yao hadn't supported it, and now Liu Yao, who sheltered the former Zhao, is gone, and Liu Xi and Liu Yin, brothers who stayed in Chang'an and held absolute power, felt that the sky had fallen.

When Liu Xi heard that his father Liu Yao was captured, he was very frightened, and immediately found Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, to discuss with the ministers, but the frightened brothers were ready to evacuate Chang'an and retreat to Qinzhou.

However, there must be faithfulness in the death of the country, and Hu Xun, who was deeply favored by Liu Yao, couldn't help but persuade a few words: "The prince, the king of Nanyang, although he has lost his king, the land is still intact, and the soldiers have not rebelled, I think we should concentrate on resisting the enemy." It's never too late to run away when the strength is overwhelming. ”

Unexpectedly, it was such a piece of advice, which made Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, angry, thinking that this was disturbing people's hearts and beheading him, and finally no one dared to speak, and the brothers went back to their respective families to prepare to escape, and strictly ordered everyone to prepare to evacuate immediately.
