Chu Yun sent Xie Ai to properly arrange Cui Dazhuang, although he knew that Cui Dazhuang was loyal to him, but Chu Yun couldn't let him show up, after all, Chu Yun was not ready to startle the snake, and until Chu Yun mastered the exact enemy, Chu Yun would not let the Sun, Moon and Star Banner of the Iron Blood Army reappear.

Chu Yun learned some of the hidden secrets of the year through Cui Dazhuang, and Chu Yun is now finally sure that there is indeed something wrong within the Iron Blood Army.

Cui Dazhuang is not surnamed Cui, he is indeed surnamed He, and his identity is the big housekeeper of his brother-in-law Cui Zhen's mansion back then, but he was later changed to Cui by Cui Zhen. Although this Cui Dazhuang has average ability, he is a man who does his duty, and he has done everything he has done well, so he is deeply trusted by Cui Zhen. Even when Cui Zhen went to Anding County to assist the emperor's younger brother, he took him with him.

is similar to Chu Yun's guess, as Cui Zhen takes charge alone, his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and because most of the Imperial Slave Guards are not descendants of the Iron and Blood Army, most of the personnel of the Imperial Slave Guard are recruited from the Hu people by virtue of the name of the emperor's younger brother, so this gives Cui Zhen a chance. Cui Zhen even gave birth to the idea of self-reliance.

He first squeezed out the first brigade of iron-blooded soldiers sent to him by Chu Yun, purged all those who did not obey him, and promoted his cronies in a big way, thinking that he had firmly controlled the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands.

However, he has been forbearing, he knows very well the power of Chu Yun and the Iron Blood Army, so although he keeps making small moves, he does not dare to rebel, until one day someone visits Cui Zhen, Cui Dazhuang was a confidant butler at the time, so he personally entertained the comer, and inadvertently, he heard a shocking conspiracy.

They actually discussed killing Chu Yun to carve up the territory of the Iron Blood Army, although Cui Dazhuang was loyal to Cui Zhen, but he was also loyal to Chu Yun who brought him a good life, so after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to expose Cui Zhen's conspiracy.

He left Anding County overnight, so he was chased and killed by Cui Zhen's people, but when he finally arrived at Guo Yong's territory in Beidi County, Guo Yong had already led people to engage the Xiongnu Liu Yao's army. Cui Dazhuang had to leave Beidi County and run towards Xihe County. When he arrived in Xihe County, he found out that he had been wanted, Cui Dazhuang relied on his own caution to run back to Lishi City, but found that Lishi City had changed, and his wife and children had been controlled, Cui Dazhuang had no choice but to secretly run to Mo Han's house.

Mo Han had already had a problem with Shicheng, and after he listened to his words, he was even more sure. He hid him and thought hard about countermeasures, but at that time, Cui Dazhuang's whereabouts had been discovered, Mo Han had no military power in his hands, although no one dared to touch him, but his mansion was surrounded, and he was trapped in the mansion.

However, Mo Han deserved to be Mo Han, he used the golden cicada to get out of the shell and left Lishi City, and they did the opposite, instead of chasing Chu Yun (fake Chu Yun) who left Lishi City to go to the front line of Anding County, but went to Shangdang County, where Chu Yun had many henchmen.

But Cui Dazhuang did not follow Mo Han, he left Mo Han to find Chu Yun, and in the end he never saw Mo Han again. However, when he arrived in Anding County, he heard that Chu Yun was dead, the iron-blooded army was defeated, and he was caught up again, so he could only hide his name, and seven or eight years passed.

According to Cui Dazhuang, the man who conspired with Cui Zhen at that time was very strange, and he couldn't remember the appearance of that person at all when he sent refreshments in, and that person was like being in a fog. This actually matched the appearance of the person Liu Cong saw back then, and this person was definitely the key to the conspiracy back then.

Speculation and facts give people a completely different feeling, although Chu Yun has speculated that Cui Zhen betrayed him over the years, but when the speculation became a fact, Chu Yun was still disappointed. Sometimes people's hearts are really difficult to figure out, Chu Yun has a life-saving grace for Cui Zhen and Cui Ning's sister and brother, and Chu Yun also married Cui Ning and reused Cui Zhen, never expected him to really betray himself. Where am I sorry for them?

Moreover, what Cui Dazhuang encountered in Lishi City and Mo Han were helpless, it can be seen that the traitor at that time should have someone else besides Cui Zhen, and his status is definitely not low. Lishicheng is Chu Yun's lair, that person was able to mobilize the resources of Lishicheng to chase Cui Dazhuang and imprison Mo Han, it can be seen that his identity, you must know that Mo Han is the county guard of Xihe County appointed by himself.

Another point is also very important, that is, Cui Dazhuang said that he also encountered a pursuit two years ago, at that time, the iron-blooded army had disappeared, and he even encountered a pursuit, which shows that the person concerned should still be alive back then, otherwise why would he be a small person who has been remembered for so many years? He doesn't know anything other than Cui Zhen is a traitor, so this surviving person should be Cui Zhen, and seeing that he can send someone to deal with Cui Dazhuang, he should still have a certain strength. Now that Former Zhao is occupied by Chu Yunjiu, then he can only be in Later Zhao, Qianliang, Qiuchi, Chenghan, or in the newly rising Tiefu territory of Shangjun.

Of course, this Cui Zhen betrayed himself and didn't get a bargain, in Chu Yun he poisoned the emperor's brother to stand on his own, but he did not get the support of the Iron Blood Army and the Hu people, and the army of more than 100,000 fell apart under the attack of Liu Yao and Qianliang, and Cui Zhen was nowhere to be found.

This bastard didn't get any good end, but he shouldn't have died, and he still has a little right, otherwise how could he continue to hunt down Cui Dazhuang? If he finds this Cui Zhen, then if he doesn't say everything about the things back then, at least he should know most of them, Chu Yun sneered, it's really a good person who doesn't live long and lives for ten thousand years, Cui Zhen, you wait for me to kill you with my own hands.

The next day, Chu Yun left Jincheng County, no one knew what happened when Chu Yun suddenly stayed for a day, and it wasn't until the general trend was set that the news slowly reached Shi Le's ears, Shi Le sighed, wrong step by step, I didn't expect Qianzhao's speed to be so fast, in just two months, he was impressed by Qianliang, and it seemed that he had risen a big enemy in the second half of his life.

However, he didn't make any moves, because now the one at the forefront was Shi Hu's descendant, and he couldn't wait to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, don't look at Qianzhao is a military parade and an attack on Qianliang, but in his eyes, it is not as important as the internal enemy.

Shi Di is Shi Hu's son, born to Shi Hu and his favorite woman Zheng Cherry, this Shi Hu once killed Shi Le's wife Guo for this woman, which also greatly reduced Shi Hu's status in Shi Le's heart, and now Shi Le doesn't care about Shi Hu, there is a little bit of this reason, after all, his own women are all hands, which shows Shi Hu's indifference. After Shi Di became the prince, he also showed his talents, he followed Shi Hu to fight in the south and the north, and made a lot of achievements, he was Shi Hu's right-hand man, and he was the favorite of Shi Hu, and he also became the leader of Shi Hu's family after Shi Hu was captured by Chu Yun.

And in order to appease, Shi Le also named him the king of Qi, and appointed him as the assassin of Sili Prefecture. Shi Di is very proud, this person is very ambitious, although he does not have the talent of Shi Le and Shi Hu, but he has greater ambitions than them. Otherwise, he would not have planned to murder his father Shile and usurp the throne in the original history. It's a pity that although he is a bit of a general, he is ambitious and talented, and later he failed to usurp the throne and let Shi Hu depose him as a concubine. In this way, Shi Hu still did not understand his hatred, and on the night of Shi Hu's abolition of him, he sent someone to kill Shi Di and his concubine Zhang, as well as 26 men and women, and buried them in a coffin, which shows Shi Hu's hatred for him and how failed Shi Hu was.

Therefore, after Shi Di, who had great ambitions, went to Luoyang, he never mentioned the matter of rescuing his father, but sang and sang wild songs every night. Several of his younger brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially the elderly Shi Xuan and Shi Tao have long been dissatisfied with their elder brothers, and they have joined forces to win over their subordinate generals to fight against the eldest brother Shi Di, making Luoyang a miasma.

Just when Shi Hu's sons were pregnant with ghosts, the envoy of the former Zhao came to Luoyang City, and in the face of the envoy of the former Zhao, Shi Di actually wanted to kill him directly, thus completely ruining the hope of his father coming back, but his mother Zheng Cherry tried her best to admonish Shi Di so that Shi Di had to summon the envoy of the former Zhao.

And when Shi Di summoned the former Zhao envoy, Shi Xuan and Shi Tao also got the news, and they immediately came uninvited, which made Shi Di angry, after all, as long as Shi Hu can't come back, his successor will be as stable as Mount Tai. But Shi Xuan and Shi Tao hoped that their father would come back and have a chance to bring Shi Di down.

The envoy of the former Zhao is called Zheng Jie, a six-grade petty official recommended by You Ziyuan, he watched a good show above the main hall, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and the things that the prime minister ordered him did not seem to be difficult to complete.

Shi Di, Shi Xuan, and Shi Tao had a quarrel, but they could only reluctantly accept the two of them to listen.

Zheng Jie's first sentence made the three brothers think differently.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the two princes, my majesty sent me here to discuss the affairs of Ling Zun, although Ling Zun was captured by His Majesty, but my Majesty is merciful and takes good care of King Zhongshan, so King Zhongshan is living well now. Moreover, my Majesty cannot bear to be separated from the King of the Mountains, so I would like to discuss with you the question of whether or not to return the King of the Mountains. ”

After Zheng Jie finished speaking, Shi Di was like eating a yellow lotus, and his whole face was pulled down, while Shi Xuan and Shi Tao were full of joy, and they immediately opened their mouths to ask how to let their father come back, and finally were interrupted by Shi Di.

"Nonsense, there is no place for you to speak, you go down. After Shi Di finished speaking, Shi Xuan and Shi Tao immediately opened their mouths to refute.

"My brother's words are wrong, we are also the sons of my father, Your Majesty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, why can't we ask? What's more, we are also generals appointed by Your Majesty himself, and we have to take care of both public and private affairs. ”

Zheng Jie watched the three brothers arguing and stopped talking, he believed that the purpose of the first meeting had been achieved. Sure enough, under the prevention of the main owner Shi Di, there was no substantial progress between the two sides, and Zheng Jie was also sent back to the post house.

That night, the two brothers Shi Xuan and Shi Tao visited together, and their purpose was to ask what the price would be for inviting their father back, but Zheng Jie Gu Zuo said to him, but he did not tell the truth, and finally the two brothers returned disappointed.

And the matter of their visit to Zheng Jie was immediately known by Shi Di, and early the next morning, Zheng Jie was invited by Shi Di.

"What did my two younger brothers tell you?" As soon as he saw Zheng Jie, Shi Di couldn't hold his breath and asked, Zheng Jie felt a burst of contempt in his heart, such a person who has no city government can actually sit in the land of a state, but Zheng Jie still smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, no matter what the two princes say, they have no right to decide, but the person who can make decisions is Your Highness." I can definitely satisfy Your Highness's thoughts, but I don't know what we can get. ”

Since Shi Jie is such a person who has no city government, Zheng Jie does not talk to him in a roundabout way, after Zheng Jie asked, Shi Kui's eyes lit up, but then he became gloomy again.

"What do you want? Hahaha, if I kill you, then you won't get anything. Hearing Shi Di's words, Zheng Jie had a lower opinion of him, but in the face of Shi Di's death threat, Zheng Jie was not afraid.

"Jie is just a small minister, His Royal Highness the King of Qi wants me to die, and I can only be killed. However, my Da Zhao is not afraid of death like Jie, but I don't know if my Da Zhao continues to send people, how will His Highness deal with it?" After Zheng Jie finished speaking, the corners of Shi Di's eyes flashed in panic, but he still forced himself to calm down.

"Then I'll kill them all, I have more than 100,000 soldiers under my command, I don't know if there are so many people on your side who are not afraid of death?"

After Shi Di finished speaking, the mockery on Zheng Jie's face was even better.

"I don't know if the prince's army of more than 100,000 can block the roads of Chang'an and Xiangguo? If I send people directly to Xiangguo, I don't know if Your Majesty will be able to watch your own nephew suffer? When the time comes, Emperor Shi will personally give an order to the King of Qi, I wonder if His Royal Highness the King of Qi will listen to it?" After Zheng Jie finished speaking, the evil on Shi Di's face was completely gone.

"Someone has come to give me a seat. Seeing Shi Di's attitude soften, Zheng Jie's heart was completely relaxed, although he was not afraid of death, it didn't mean that he wanted to die, in case Shi Di was a madman, he really killed himself, and he had no place to cry.

"Lord Zheng, my father is really important to me, and I also hope that my father will live a long life, but my father is very resentful, as long as he offends his people, he will take revenge, and now I am the assassin of Si Lizhou, I hope that the two countries can coexist peacefully, after all, it will always be the people who suffer in the war, and I can't bear it." Shi Di's words were to say that his father Shi Hu had a grudge against him, and asked Qianzhao not to put Shi Hu back, how could Zheng Jie not hear it.

"Yes, my Majesty also has this doubt, so he sent me to your side to discuss, but he can't bear to let His Royal Highness King Qi not see his father. ”

"Honorable envoy, I Shi Di is dedicated to the country, how can personal small things compare to national affairs, for the peace of the two countries, even if I sacrifice filial piety, what can I do?" Shi Di said solemnly, but it means that you don't send my father back to me, never send it, it's best to kill it once and for all.

Zheng Jie knew Shi Di's thoughts, how could he not take the opportunity to put forward his request: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi really understands the righteousness, but we can indeed agree to His Highness's request, but I go back to tell my lord with such empty mouths and white teeth, and he may not agree." Shi Di also understood that Zheng Jie wanted to deal with it again, but it was easier to say anything than if his father didn't come back.

"Tiefu has invaded my territory several times, and occupied Shangjun to look at the Central Plains, his prodigal ambition is obvious, my lord is ready to send troops to the grassland to teach this group of hungry wolves who are not well raised, but I am afraid of causing misunderstanding among His Royal Highness the King of Qi, so that we will have unnecessary damage, I don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Qi can give a guarantee in the next one, and will not take the opportunity to harass us. Your Highness can rest assured that once we send Tie Fu back to the grassland, I will definitely return the bones of His Royal Highness King Zhongshan to His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

After Zheng Jie finished speaking, Shi Jie was overjoyed and said, "Is this true?" Zheng Jie promised again and again, and Shi Jie immediately agreed.

Shangjun was originally Qianghu's territory, but it was later occupied by the Iron Army, and Tie Fu took the opportunity to occupy Shangjun after the defeat of the Iron Army, and it was not his Shi Di, why not use other people's territory as a favor? Besides, even if the former Zhao occupied Shangjun, the headache should be Shi Le's son Taiyuan Wang Shibin, what do you care about?

Of course, Shi Di would not be stupid enough to sign any written agreement with Zheng Jie, and the two sides verbally agreed that Shi Di would not do anything to Yongzhou when Former Zhao occupied Shangjun, and after the matter was completed, Former Zhao sent Shi Hu's body back to Luoyang. Shi Di was still afraid that the former Zhao would not respect his promise and threaten Zheng Jie, and then sent Zheng Jie out of Luoyang, and when Shi Xuan and Shi Tao knew, Zheng Jie had already gone away. However, the two brothers immediately knew what their brother meant, that is, they refused to let Shi Hu come back, and they were furious, and they accelerated the pace of winning over their subordinate generals, and the dark waves in Luoyang City were surging, which was also one of the purposes of Zheng Jie's coming.

When Zheng Jie saw Chu Yun and told Chu Yun what had happened, Chu Yun praised Zheng Jie fiercely, and promoted Zheng Jie to the prime minister's mansion Dongcao's constant companion Chu Yun, Zheng Jie was overjoyed.

It was not a day or two for Chu Yun to recapture Shangjun from the new one, because the plan that You Ziyuan had formulated for Chu Yun was to first take and merge the prefecture, and then merge the prefecture of Sili, divide the world with Shi Le, and finally gather his forces to fight a decisive battle with Shi Le.

And Yongzhou and Bingzhou do not border, so the territory of Shangjun must be occupied, and Shangjun is in the hands of Tiefu Liu Hu, it is much easier than attacking directly from Sili Prefecture, as the saying goes, the old lady eats persimmons and picks up soft pinch, Liu Hu is far worse than Shi Di, he can't even beat a divided and declining Daiguo Tuoba Xianbei, let alone Zhao in advance.

And there are a lot of Han people in Shangjun, at least there are more than 100,000 Han people in Shangjun, these are all Chu Yun migrated over that year, and there are not many original supporters of the Iron Blood Army in Shangjun, occupying here, Chu Yun can increase the population by more than 100,000, and most of these people are raising horses for Tiefu, so when it comes to riding horses, Chu Yun can easily recruit tens of thousands of Han cavalry.

This can make the ratio of Han Hu in Former Zhao more optimized, and when Chu Yun usurps the throne, the resistance will be smaller. However, before Chu Yun sent troops to the county, Chu Yun wanted to stabilize the situation in Chang'an again, and Chu Yun was ready to be Zhao Gao once, pointing to the deer as a horse.
