Chapter Ninety-Two: Return to the Party to Meet the Clansmen
The months-long war caused great damage to the territory of the Iron Army, not to mention the casualties and material consumption, the most infuriating thing is that the Huns destroyed a large amount of farmland, so that the people of Xihe County wasted a lot of hard work for months, so it took Chu Yun a lot of time just to pacify Xihe County. The grain of Shangdang County is enough for the people of Xihe County to last until the next harvest, and a large amount of grain and grass from Shangdang County is continuously transported into Lishi City, which is also the main reason for Xihe County to settle down.
Chu Yun returned to Shangdang County after staying for half a month, Zhang Tong served as the county guard, and Ma Liang served as the county lord, and with their help, Xihe County quickly stabilized. Because Xihe County directly faced the threat of the Huns, Zhang Tong's responsibility as a county guard is very important, but Zhang Tong's military talent is unparalleled, Zhang Tong's main job now is to be responsible for the construction of Xihe County's defense system and the replenishment of the army, as well as rewards and punishments, these are not difficult for Zhang Tong, plus the help of the county Cheng Ma Liang, Xihe County does not need Chu Yun to sit in charge.
Once all the Wu forts along the Zhongyang River are completed, with Lishi City as the axis, Lin County and Zhongyang City as the two wings, and a large number of Wu Forts as the base point, Xihe County will have absolute capital to face the threat of the Xiongnu. If a large number of Wu forts were completed before Liu Ji's attack on Xihe County, Liu Ji's cavalry would never dare to go deep into Xihe County, otherwise they might be tortured by a large number of Wu Forts and want to die, but unfortunately there is no if in history.
After arriving in Shangdang County, Chu Yun had more work, first of all, arranging the pensions of the fallen soldiers and the follow-up arrangements for the wounded soldiers, which was the basis for the iron-blooded army to maintain its combat effectiveness, and this battle involved five battlefields and a mobilization of more than 100,000 troops, so this work alone made Chu Yun anxious.
The Iron Blood Army had lost tens of thousands of casualties in a few months, and the casualties were even more numerous, if it weren't for Chu Yun's continuous recruitment to replenish his troops, the Iron Blood Army would really not be able to withstand it for a few more months. The pension alone cost millions of dollars and dozens of loads of grain, which almost consumed half of the grain stocks in Shangdang County.
In addition, Chu Yun is preparing to organize 300,000 people to fill Xihe County, which is another super big project. But Chu Yun still had to do it, Shangdang County had too little arable land and too many people, while Xihe County had a lot of arable land but few people. Relying on the cultivated land of Shangdang County to feed a population of nearly 800,000 is simply a fool's dream, and the iron-blooded army can't keep supporting them. But the migration of hundreds of thousands of people, the amount of work is very huge, don't look at the time ago Chu Yun moved to Xihe County with a population of 100,000, it was because those 100,000 people migrated from Yizhou, and they were relocated without staying, and they didn't dare to resist at all.
And now that a few months have passed, these people have begun to stabilize, and if they want to relocate, they need more resources, after all, the Chinese have been relocated since ancient times, and it is easy for them to make trouble if they move repeatedly like the Hu people. In particular, many of these people have joined the Iron Army, and one mistake is that the foundation of the Iron Blood Army has been shaken.
In addition, Liu Kun has never replied, and Liu Kun has not made any action against Liu Kun, the two counties occupied by the Iron and Blood Army in Taiyuan County, Chu Yun doesn't know what he thinks. Even the Supervision Department couldn't find out the news, and when the Iron and Blood Army fought a few months ago, Liu Kun suddenly began to clean up the secret agents of the Supervision Department in Jinyang, which hit the work of the Supervision Department hard.
Chu Yun also attaches great importance to the security of the two counties, now there is only one brigade of 5,000 people stationed in the two counties, and the city walls of these two counties are broken, only less than two meters, it is too dangerous, this is all something that Chu Yun needs to consider.
The most important thing is whether Liu Kun's tens of thousands of cavalry in Niexian County were secretly developed by Liu Kun, or which force they belonged to, and Chu Yun needed to find out clearly, which was too much of a threat to the iron-blooded army.
Just when Chu Yun was in a hurry, the envoy sent by Shi Le arrived in the eldest son city, and this envoy turned out to be a member of the Chu family in Yecheng, and he was still Chu Yun's cousin, Chu Yun was a little speechless. Chu Yun is not the original Chu Yun, he is just an impostor.
The messenger sent by Shi Le was called Chu Yang, and he held a thick family tree in front of Chu Yun, not to mention, this guy really has to be his cousin, but it is a little far away. When his cheap father left the North Land for Jiangnan, all of Chu Yun's relatives who were close to him died. This Chu Yang and Chu Yun's great-grandfather are brothers, and the relationship between the two is a little distant, if Fu Yi is still alive, he will definitely know this person, but Chu Yun will be blind.
Chu Yang's attitude in front of Chu Yun was almost flattering, and Chu Yun knocked on the side and asked them that their life was very bad, after all, Yecheng had been war-torn for a long time, and even Chu Yang's family almost became slaves. However, after Chu Yun's rise, Shi Le sent someone to find them out, and gave this Chu Yang a petty official and sent him.
From Chu Yang's words, it was revealed that Shi Le was friendly with him, and it could be seen from the fact that he sent his cousin to come. Back then, Liu Kun found Shi Le's mother He's nephew, which was a great favor to Shi Le, and Chu Yang also meant to come this time.
Shi Le wanted to exchange these side branches of the Yecheng Chu family for his old brother Hu Yanmo who was captured by Chu Yun, this guy has been captured by Chu Yun for half a year, and Shi Le has not sent anyone to redeem him, which shows that Shi Le does not value him at all. But although Shi Le can't look down on Hu Yanmo, who has no ability, he can't chill the hearts of other old brothers, so it's still worth exchanging a bunch of waste for Hu Yanmo.
And Shi Le sent these people back to really make friends, he fell into a bitter battle in Youzhou, and he had to prevent Chu Yang from sticking a knife in his back, and the most important thing was that Liu Kun's letter to Shi Le was brought by Chu Yang, which was his ultimate goal.
Only then did Chu Yang know why this Liu Kun wanted to stick a knife in his back, it turned out that he was afraid that he would break away from the control of the imperial court and the rise of another Wang Jun. But Chu Yun felt very wronged, he didn't do anything, and disaster fell from the sky, making Liu Kun think that he had a different heart. But thinking about what he did, Liu Kun also made sense to attack himself, he didn't take the court in his eyes at all, isn't this a big rebellion for Liu Kun?
Of course, Chu Yun knew that Shi Le had bad intentions, but his relationship with Liu Kun could not be restored. In addition, Chu Yang's group of people, Chu Yun must also accept it, in the eyes of the ancients, not treating the same clan well can be said to be a major stain, even greater than the stigma of treason. Family and country are the world's affairs, and family is the first priority.
Chu Yun could only accept these people, and return Hu Yanmo and some return gifts to Shi Le, the return gifts must also be heavy, otherwise they will not be able to show the importance of their families, and it will also affect their reputation, Chu Yun felt that the day was over, but Mo Han, Wang Lian and other important ministers tried their best to admonish Chu Yun agreed.
Chu Yang's group of people Chu Yun has seen it, a group of people are all side branches of the Chu family, and even except for Chu Yang, the rest have never read books, basically there is no useful talent. This group of bastards must also be arranged well, so that Chu Yun is very big, and the most hateful thing is that they came to the eldest son city and bullied men and women under the name of Chu Yun, and Chu Yun wanted to kill them.
But Chu Yun can't, otherwise it will be a big stain if Chu Yun treats the clansmen harshly. In this era, righteous annihilation is an absolute derogatory term, which makes Chu Yun very tricky. But Chu Yun couldn't accept letting this group of guys ruin his reputation, especially when a guy named Chu Yi actually started the idea of the widow of the Iron Army, Chu Yun was completely angry.
Several children of the side branches of the Chu family died violently in a row, completely frightening Chu Yang and the others, although all this was done by Chu Yun, but Chu Yun still pretended to be indignant, let people investigate thoroughly, and finally arranged the crime on a side disciple called Chu Zheng.
The result of the investigation of the Supervision Department is that this Chu Zheng was bribed by the Qian people, came to the eldest son city to sabotage, and killed the people surnamed Chu, of course, this is all Chu Yun's meaning. Of course, this person was corrected by Chu Yun, and the other people surnamed Chu were not fools and finally became honest.
The results of this investigation gave Chu Yun an excuse, and in order to ensure the safety of his clansmen, Chu Yun threw them all to the remote Gu County, which was called protection. Only Chu Yang and Chu Peng, two side disciples who seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye, remained. One became the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion and the other became the accountant of the Governor's Mansion, so as not to be thought by others that Chu Yun was slow to treat the clansmen.
Although it didn't take much effort to deal with these shitty things, it also made Chu Yun very sad, Shi Le, a bastard guy, actually made this garbage to disgust himself, Chu Yun, who held a grudge, immediately gave Shi Le a lot of money, if Shi Le knew that his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, he would definitely want to cry without tears.
In fact, the number of people in the Chu family's side line is as many as hundreds, after all, it has been discovered for so many years, from the Qin Dynasty to the present, hundreds of years, but after Shi Le confessed, Zhang Bin knew about it. As soon as he intervened, things changed, and those slightly better Chu family disciples were all killed by Zhang Bin, so he got Chu Yun so many dozens of bests. Of course, even if Chu Yun knew that Zhang Bin took the opportunity to take revenge, he didn't care about these clansmen in the first place.
Two months later, Huang Kai, deputy commander of the Supervision Department, finally returned from Pingyang, and Chu Yun had already had an opinion on Feng Chengjia's inaction. After Huang Kai came back, Chu Yun immediately promoted Huang Kai to the commander of the Supervision Department, the position is equivalent to a partial general, and the same level as the brigade commanders, as for Feng Chengjia, Chu Yun arranged him into Chu Yun's newly established Security Division as the commander, in the logistics of the ancient army, there was no separate organization, this is Chu Yun's own creation, although Feng Chengjia is soft, but he is serious and responsible, and he is responsible for logistics.
In addition, Chu Yun officially established the Red Mansion, an institution with women insulted by the Hu people as the main body, and they were mainly responsible for building brothels in various places to find out news for the Iron Army. The person in charge of this institution is the singer Yinglu who served him at the banquet held by Liu Kun for the Xianbei people back then, Chu Yun promised to redeem her if she wanted to redeem her, she has been helping Cui Ning manage the back house all these years, not to mention loyalty. Moreover, Chu Yun intends to cultivate, and should be able to do a good job in the Red Mansion.
Chu Yun has been busy in the dark for a few months since he came back, and he rested when he returned to the back house, even Su Jin had never seen it a few times, let alone Cui Ning. The few times it was Cui Ning for his missing brother Cui Zhen, but a few days ago, the Iron Army finally found this unlucky boy. He met a black bear in the woods, was wounded and rescued by the hunters in the mountains, recuperated for a few months before he contacted the Iron Blood, and when he returned, he brought a young girl with him to marry her. Cui Ning got angry with his younger brother several times for this matter, Cui Zhen refused to compromise, Cui Ning even begged himself to find a suitable wife for his younger brother, but Chu Yun perfunctory past, he never paid attention to the door, and there was a big gap between him and the thinking of people in this era.
As soon as she returned to the back house, Cui Ning greeted her, I have to say that although this woman has been married, she likes any man's personality, she personally served Chu Yun to bathe and change clothes, and a few times she wanted to talk about her younger brother, but Chu Yun diverted her, so she stopped talking about it, she is really a smart woman.
"Ning'er, after a while, I will marry Jin'er, and I will marry you as a concubine. After Chu Yun finished speaking, Cui Ning, who was carefully combing Chu Yun's hair, actually cried all of a sudden, Chu Yun comforted her for a while, and the woman stopped crying, and it was obvious that this woman was more gentle with herself, and she was gentle from the heart.
Chu Yun was really annoyed by his subordinates, because he had no heirs, and he was not even married, Mo Han and these ministers had told him more than once that they would start a family, Chu Yun felt that he was only in his twenties, and there were too many things, Su Jin lost his memory again, and Chu Yun wanted to wait. However, because he was not married and had no heirs, it even affected the morale of the army, so Chu Yun could only compromise.
In this era, Chu Yun is definitely an older youth, although Chu Yun did not clearly shout the slogan of independence, but his subordinates all know that they are not the same heart as the imperial court, Chu Yun is equivalent to the leader of a force, and there is no successor, which makes his subordinates feel unreliable. Therefore, Chu Yun decided to officially marry Su Jin on the eighth day of August this year.
Chu Yun asked Cui Ning to go back to rest first, he was going to see Su Jin, the last time he went to see Su Jin was ten days ago, Su Jin's condition did not improve at all, Su Jin used to be the kind of extremely assertive lady who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but now he is like a child, and he is not so close to Chu Yun, many times Chu Yun is not as close as Cui Ning and Su Jin, Chu Yun has invited many famous doctors, but there is no way.
But even so, Chu Yun will never let down Su Jin, Su Jin is his savior, and all the hopes of Chu Yun in those days, these are all deeply rooted in Chu Yun's heart, and people who have not endured hunger will not understand that kind of despair.
Chu Yun originally wanted to wait for Su Jin to marry her again when he was willing to marry her, but her recovery was far away, and her subordinates needed to marry themselves, so Chu Yun could only make his own decision. But Chu Yun was still ready to ask her in person, if she didn't agree, Chu Yun could marry her, but he wouldn't force her to do the courtesy of Zhou Gong with him.
When he came to the outside of Su Jin's courtyard, when Chu Yun heard the chatter, Chu Yun's ear power was extraordinary, and he instantly knew that this was Su Jin and a few little girls who served her were fighting, as if they were talking about themselves.
"Miss, the governor will go to find that vixen when he comes back, are you the future lady of the governor?" A crisp voice came out, and Chu Yun knew that this girl was Su Jin's personal maid Cui'er.
"What future Mrs. Dudu, I'm not familiar with that person, since Sister Ning'er likes him, let it be given to her." I'm going crazy every day in this hellish place, and I'm the lady of the governor who is not uncommon. Su Jin said a little childishly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui'er and these subordinates were all frightened, and they knelt down one after another to ask Su Jin not to say any more, these maids are all the children of the most loyal soldiers of the Iron Blood Army, and they respect Chu Yun like a god, if Su Jin's words are spread, even if they are not blamed by the governor, they will be beaten to death by their own families. Su Jin muttered a few words unhappily, but he still didn't continue.
Chu Yun's expression darkened when he heard Su Jin's words outside the door, it was not that he resented Su Jin or anything, nor was it like some little men who heard that women didn't like their own gains and losses, but a kind of self-blame. Grace is greater than life-saving grace, for his life-saving benefactor Su Jin, although Chu Yun has done a lot, it is far inferior to Su Jin's kindness to himself. And after Su Jin lost his memory, he didn't find much time to accompany her, and without her knowledge, he privately set a marriage date between him and her, if Su Jin was in the past, it would be okay to say, but now Su Jin can be said to have become another person, she has her own thoughts, and she is not only not repaying her gratitude, but forcing her.
"Governor. When Chu Yun blamed herself outside the courtyard, a steward in the courtyard happened to come out, and she was startled and immediately knelt on the ground. Her exclamation startled everyone in the courtyard, and they came out one after another to kneel and salute, seeing that Chu Yun's face was not good, and the few maids who chewed their tongues were so frightened that their faces turned white.
