Chapter 42 Acting for the County Guard
Chu Yun gathered the surrendered army and the refugees on the other hand, many of these captive people were about to starve to death, even those high-ranking families in Jinyang City were miserable, Chu Yun asked people to gather the captured grain and grass and dead horses, and let everyone eat.
He had already figured out where these people were, those families and officials of Jinyang City Chu Yun were ready to send them all back to Liu Kun, and the rest of the people Chu Yun was going to be placed in Nie County, and most of them were brought back to the eldest son, and there was no problem at all for the eldest son city to live in more than 100,000 people as a county town.
However, Chu Yun doesn't know the specific situation in the north now, so he appeased those officials and wealthy families, and everyone also knows the severity, they will not be stupid enough to make trouble for Chu Yun, those big families with distinct personalities or no brains have all died, and the rest are obedient. The group slowly came to the burned Nexian County and temporarily stationed there, of course Chu Yun would not let them be idle, and they all helped the people of Nexian County to clean up and rebuild Nexian County.
On the one hand, Chu Yun sent people to Jinyang to investigate, and on the other hand, he asked the eldest son city to escort a batch of grain and grass over, and he was very busy, but Li Jin, the county magistrate of Niexian County appointed by Chu Yun, really had real talent and learning, and with his help, although things were still complicated, they were orderly.
Chu Yun also found a few talents from the officials who were escorted, although these guys nagged him every day, he was not qualified to appoint officials, because he was only a soldier. But they could only help Chu Yun, and after a few days, Chu Yun was free, and he finally had time to ask Liu Jian's question about the Divine Power Derivative.
Liu Jian didn't cherish himself either, he told Chu Yun about how he could cultivate his internal strength, but unfortunately after Chu Yun heard it, his face became gloomy, Liu Jian's method would never be tried by himself, because he saw a strong conspiracy from it. Chu Yun looked at the red crystals exuding evil qi that Liu Jian spit out from his body, and instantly knew that this thing could not be touched.
"Blood Droplets" is a crystal similar to red crystal, which is very beautiful, and the crimson luster makes it difficult to take your eyes off when you see it, which is exactly the reason why Liu Jian showed Chu Yun that he can cultivate divine power. This blood droplet fused with the human dantian, allowing the dantian to store and mobilize divine power. Chu Yun couldn't cultivate internal force because his dantian couldn't store internal force.
But Chu Yun looked at this blood drop that exuded a bloody aura, and he immediately had the idea of staying away, according to Liu Jian, his blood drop was given to him by his father Liu Yao, and his younger brother also had one, which was as big as his, but because his younger brother worked harder than himself, his blood drop was already one-sixth smaller than his own.
That's right, the blood droplets can fuse with their masters, and the method is to kill and resent, the more killing, the more sufficient the resentment, the faster the blood drops will integrate with the master, Liu Jian is a peace-loving teenager, so his blood droplets have not been fused except for being forced by his father to go to the torture room several times and absorb some resentment. This may also be the reason why Liu Jian is not liked by his father Liu Yao.
But Chu Yun saw something wrong from this, in the Xianwu Continent, Chu Yun had not studied the blood attribute exercises and the demon attribute exercises, these two exercises were indeed powerful, and they made rapid progress in the early stage, but the corresponding shortcomings were also unbearable, in the later stage of practice, they either became monsters that were not human and ghosts, or their personalities changed drastically, and they became negative energy blasts, which caused great trouble, which was also the reason why they were targeted by almost all righteous path martial artists.
And this blood drop that Chu Yun saw today, Chu Yun felt that it was very much like a product of the blood attribute exercise, and this thing was evil, not only would it make people cultivate the so-called divine power (that is, internal force), but it would also make the user become the initiator's furnace. In other words, the person who made the blood droplet can take back the blood droplet and the user's cultivation at any time through this thing. Chu Yun heard Liu Jian say that there were hundreds of people in their Zhao Han army who used this blood droplet, and many of them had been completely fused, once the cultivation of these people was gathered into one person, then what strength would this person reach. At least there is no problem at all, in such a world where spiritual power is lacking, a ground-level martial artist can be said to be invincible.
Therefore, even if Chu Yun was eager to cultivate his internal strength, it was impossible for him to tolerate himself becoming someone else's furnace. However, according to Liu Jian, there are other ways for their divine power derivative to achieve it, but although he is the king of Linjiang, it is impossible for him to know what is going on.
"This blood droplet, I advise you not to use it indiscriminately, otherwise you won't know how to die in the future, of course you can't help it if you don't believe it. Liu Jian said that the matter of blood droplets had almost no effect on Chu Yun, but Chu Yun still kindly advised. Liu Jian trusted Chu Yun very much, and he immediately discarded the blood droplets and never put them back in his body. But neither of them knew that the blood droplets thrown by Liu Jian were secretly hidden by one person.
The speed of communication in this era was desperate, and when Chu Yun arrived in the eldest son city with more than 20,000 people he had carefully selected, Liu Kun's news was passed back. When Chu Yun heard Liu Kun's situation, he could only smile bitterly, the dignified history of merging states and assassinations, a year ago, he still had tens of thousands of troops to fight Liu Kun, and he was mixed into a county order, and it was even inferior to the county order of those big counties, you must know that his subordinates are only a few thousand now.
However, Chu Yun thought about it again and again, and decided to return the great clan of Jinyang and their tens of thousands of clan slaves and those ordinary people who were unwilling to stay in Shangdang County to Liu Kun, although Liu Kun fell to Pingyang, but his reputation is still there, he may not be able to recover his strength when he will be able to regain his strength, and he has a powerful ally, so that he is almost invincible, as long as Tuoba Xianbei is not chaotic, then Liu Kun's merger of the state is as stable as Mount Tai, after all, even Liu Cong and Shi Le are not sure to resist Tuoba Xianbei's hundreds of thousands of troops, not to mention that there are many tribes in Xianbei, they are in the north, in case they unite, it can be said that the Han people, the Qian, and the Huns are all scum. But it's not easy to get them together.
However, of course, the officials and officials that Chu Yun used very well stayed, and Chu Yun also sent Liu Kun a hundred war horses and a hundred loads of grain, these things seem to be very few, but in fact, Chu Yun squeezed them out, Chu Yun's Shangdang County is also very bad, and tens of thousands of people were suddenly added, so it's no wonder that it can be good. In this way, more than 20,000 people who had just left Jinyang returned to Jinyang under the leadership of Guo Yong and Li Jin.
Send Li Jin to see Liu Kun, because Li Jin is a child of a family after all, although he is only a low-level person, but there is really no one under him, Liu Kun is very famous for his background, and this guy can also help manage refugees along the way. Sending Guo Yong to contact Mo Han, Chu Yun's subordinates have too few talents, and there are more than a dozen counties in Shangdang County, so that he has a lot of affairs, he wants to call Mo Han over to help him, Mo Han's talent Chu Yun is very convinced, governing a county, Mo Han is completely competent, Chu Yun's lazy mind was born again, he still likes to be in the Xianwu Continent the most, he concentrates on practicing martial arts, and Zhuge Qingyi helps him deal with all the situations. He had been in the dark energy stage for a long time, and he was ready to break through to the transformation of energy, so that his strength would increase greatly, and he would have self-protection in the face of the divine power warriors.
Chu Yun was very busy in the following days, he counted the population of Shangdang County, because he knew that population was the basis of all his policies, and the result was very bad, the entire population of Shangdang County was only a few hundred thousand people, and this was the result of Chu Yun intercepting 30,000 refugees from Jinyang. And most of them are concentrated in Changzi City, the county seat of Shangdang County, and now there are sixty or seventy thousand people in Changzi City.
This population can also support 20,000 horses, and this is still a poor march, every four people to raise a soldier, will definitely drag down their finances. Therefore, even if Chu Yun's Iron Blood Fort still had seven or eight thousand people who had not arrived, Chu Yun decided to recruit only five thousand infantry for the time being, and the cavalry would continue to maintain one thousand and two hundred, plus the three thousand infantry and one thousand and five cavalry that did not come from the Iron Blood Fort, the strength of Shangdang County had far exceeded the strength of Liu Kun, the assassin of Bingzhou. The Huns had just been defeated, Chu Yun would never believe that they would attack him immediately, and now that it was winter, the Huns would not move this army.
When the first snowflakes fell on the eldest son city, Chu Yun finally contacted Liu Kun, the assassin of the state. When Li Jin and Guo Yong arrived in Yangqu and saw Liu Kun, Liu Kun was gloomy, and his Wenchen staff was so shabby that there were only about 30 people left. This also includes his sons, nephews, relatives and friends, and Liu Kun's beautiful long hair has also turned a lot gray. The arrival of Li Jin and Guo Yong made Liu Kun and his subordinates ecstatic, they didn't expect that Chu Yun, who had left a deep impression on him, would be so powerful that he would defeat Liu Yao, who beat him like a lost dog, and rescued tens of thousands of people.
Now more than 20,000 people have returned to Jinyang, Liu Kun, who likes to enjoy by nature, can't wait to go back immediately, Yangqu is really shabby, how can it be compared to the state city of Bingzhou. But when he calmed down, he found that things were not so simple, Chu Yun defeated Liu Yao's army, captured two generals, and now they were all escorted to Liu Kun. and sent back more than 20,000 people, and also brought some grain, grass and horses, in Liu Kun's opinion, Chu Yun also showed loyalty to himself when he was the most down, but he was sorry for Chu Yun's loyalty.
At that time, Jinyang was besieged, and under the persuasion of his son Liu Ding, he recruited Chu Yun and his iron-blooded army under the temptation of the Shangdang county guard and General Jianwei, but he never cared too much about the iron-blooded army, and the documents he sent to the imperial court at that time did not ask for any official position for Chu Yun, you must know that the county guard of a county must be approved by the imperial court. He thought that he defeated the Huns with the help of his allies, gave Chu Yun a soldier to engage in, let him command the cavalry for himself, and finally made him a lieutenant, but now how can he reply to Chu Yun? Chu Yun has already occupied Shangdang by himself, is he still pulling down his face and letting Chu Yun retreat?
In this way, if Chu Yun, like Xing Yan, surrendered to the Huns in a fit of rage, would he still be able to hold his own annexed state? He had seen the strength of Chu Yun's iron-blooded cavalry, although it was not as good as the Xianbei Iron Cavalry and not as good as the Hun cavalry, but how could he resist it now? In Yangqu, there were only 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and Liu Kun arranged for Liu Kun to be left behind by his righteous brother Tuoba Yilu in Yanmen County.
Liu Kun first let Li Jin and Guo Yong go down to rest, he immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss, after a big defeat, there were a lot fewer people under him, and now in addition to his son Liu Qun, Liu Ding and nephews Lu Chen and Cui Yue, there are only a few people left such as Mo Han and Wen Qiao.
Except for Mo Han and Wen Qiao, although the rest of these people are very talented, their abilities are average, and there is no problem with Liu Kun's poetry and singing, but when they ask about specific things, they are all black-eyed, Liu Kun's education is really a failure to some extent, and the most useless thing in troubled times is Wencai.
However, Wen Qiao is a great talent, he is now Liu Kun's army, and he is almost his first strategist. His family background is incredible, and the Wen family is also a top family, he is the great-grandson of Wen Hui, a famous minister of Cao Wei, and the nephew of Situ Wen Xian of the Western Jin Dynasty. After the Eastern Han Dynasty Huqiang Lieutenant Wen Xu. Wen Qiao was born at the age of 17 and moved from the official to the county order of Luxian County. Later, Liu Kun's talents withered, and he slowly showed his talent and was appointed as Liu Kun's army. Of course, these early experiences do not show his talent, after this guy left Liu Kun to go south, like a dragon into the sea, in 317 AD, Wen Qiao as Liu Kun's messenger to persuade south, since then successively held a prominent position, and with the Jin Ming Emperor as a cloth friend. He served as the Taishou of Jiangzhou and participated in the suppression of the rebellion of Wang Dun and Su Jun. After the rebellion of Su Jun was pacified, Wen Qiao worshiped the hussar general, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and added the scattered cavalry to serve as the prince of Shi'an County. After his death, he was given the rank of general and the name of Zhongwu. The position is not worse than Liu Kun at all, and he has almost reached the top level in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
However, having met such a character as Chu Yun in this life, I don't know if Wen Qiao can have such a smooth official path again. When Liu Kun finished saying the jealousy in his heart, everyone all looked at Wen Qiao, not only because Wen Qiao is now Liu Kun's first strategist, but also because it is known that Mo Han and Chu Yun "do not deal with", although they are not capable, but they all know that now is really not the time to suppress Chu Yun. Not to mention anything else, Chu Yun's loyalty and ability made this group of guys very favorable, not that they cherished their talents, but that Chu Yun now occupies Shangdang County, almost carrying the security of the south of Jinyang, so that they can have the leisure to chant the wind and the moon.
"My lord, I haven't seen Chu Yun's son, so it's hard for me to draw conclusions, but looking at this person's actions, he is quite loyal, but he doesn't follow the orders of the adults and sends troops without authorization, and it can be seen that this person is not a conformist person. I don't think it's appropriate to use knives and guns anymore in Bingzhou, this person occupies the party, which can be said to be a barrier for adults, so I think it's mainly to appease. Your Excellency was appointed by the Imperial Court to assassinate the state.,Now the state of the Imperial Court is also known to the Lord.,I think the Adult can make his own decisions.。 Wen Qiao said tactfully, which means that the imperial court itself can't take care of itself, and if you think this Chu Yun is worth encompassing, then you will appoint him as the county guard as an assassin.
But this has touched Liu Kun's bottom line, he regards himself as a loyal minister and a filial son, not to mention that the rivers and rivers of the state are declining, he can't destroy his statement, he hasn't been defeated before, but every time he starts from Xinxiong in the name of a loyal minister, he heard Wen Qiao's meaning, this is simply his old life.
"Mo Zhi, what is your opinion?" Liu Kun looked at Mo Han, who had always been at odds with Chu Yun, he did not directly deny Wen Qiao's opinion, but wanted to use Mo Han's mouth to deny Wen Qiao's words, after all, he said directly, it is likely to make Wen Qiao feel cold, which can be regarded as a way to control his subordinates.
After Liu Kun asked, Mo Han didn't speak, everyone looked over and found that Mo Han was wandering outside the world, Liu Kun was a little angry in his heart, but he didn't reprimand angrily, there are so many people under him, Mo Han is also capable, and when he didn't see his brother-in-law Tuoba Yilu leaving, he still wanted to leave with Mo Han. Mo Han has handled the relationship between Bingzhou and Xianbei people many times, and he has handled it very well, which left a deep impression on Tuoba Yilu, but unfortunately Mo Han finally refused. In history, Mo Hanke was desperate for Liu Kun, so he followed Tuoba Yilu and made a career under the Xianbei people.
Liu Kun asked again, Mo Han came back to his senses, he immediately stood up and bowed down to apologize, Liu Kun felt a lot better.
"My lord, that kid from the Chu family. Before Mo Han finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Ding, who had been defending Chu Yun, Chu Yun was so angry, but Liu Ding recruited him, Liu Ding had a lot of face, how could he let Mo Han slander.
"Mo Zhi, even if Chu Yun is not the county guard of Shangdang County, he is also engaged in the Assassin Mansion, you are an official of the government, isn't it good for you to say this?" After Liu Ding finished speaking, Mo Han immediately smiled and said that he had made a mistake, and everyone did not pursue it.
"My lord, my opinion is the same as that of Wen who joined the army, Chu Xiao... Chu Zheng's current position is just on the front line of facing the Huns, and it is a good plan to use a small county guard position to envelop him, although I don't agree with him, but to be honest, this person still has some ability, besides, he is still loyal to the adult, I will not do the villain's thing for the sake of the adult. Wouldn't you see the fate of Xu County's order (Xu Run, Jinyang Order)?" "Xu Run, an unlucky bastard, after Jinyang City was broken, let Linghu mud be chopped into meat sauce. After Mo Han finished speaking, everyone felt that Mo Han had a clear distinction between public and private, and he was a gentleman.
But Mo Han's words forced Liu Kun to a dead end, and his subordinates said that he had to pay for his previous promises, but he still didn't dare to directly appoint Chu Yun as the county guard, and finally he decided to appoint Chu Yun as the acting county guard of Shangdang County, and he didn't dare to seal the position of general anymore, he had to wait for the imperial court to certify it, but that was enough.
"Father, Chu Yun's son is not your confidant after all, I think it is good to send a confidant to restrain him, I see the position of the party county and the county leader, it must be our people. After Liu Kun's second son and eldest son, Liu Qun, finished speaking, everyone looked at Mo Han, who was not dealing with Chu Yun, and Liu Kun also looked at him with a smile.
Mo Han spread his hands and said with a smile: "Juncheng, can it be regarded as a promotion?" Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Liu Kun was also very satisfied with his appointment.
Mo Han walked out of Liu Kun's shabby courtyard, looking at the appointment document printed with the Great Seal of the Assassin of the Prefecture in his hand, the smile on his face could not be hidden, he not only won the position of the assassin for Chu Yun this time, but also allowed himself to return to Chu Yun's subordinates smoothly, and also made himself a Shangdang county and county leader, so that he could firmly occupy the position of second in command in Chu Yun's forces.
Seeing Guo Yong waiting in front of his door, Mo Han made a look, and Guo Yong silently followed Mo Han in.
