Chapter 23 Youzhou

When Zhang Bin came to Shile's accommodation, several of Shile's important ministers were actually in the house.

"Meng Sun, you're here, I originally wanted to call someone to invite you, but now I don't need to. Just now, the right chief Shi Diao Ying advocated surrender, and begged to sweep away Heshuo to atone for his sins, and then try to plan after Jin retreated. What does Meng Sun think?" "Shi Le is not very tall, but he is burly, his face is full of beard, he looks like a fierce person, but a pair of deeply sunken eyes are like a knife, as long as you look at him, there will be a huge pressure.

Diao Ying is the right chief official, it can be said that he is the head of the civil officials, this person is very literate, although Shi Le is illiterate, but he attaches great importance to the reader, so Diao Ying often boasts of being the first mastermind, he treats Zhang Bin very badly, because Zhang Bin has offered advice several times, and has been adopted by Shi Le, so he feels that his status has been impacted, so he will come alone to offer advice. However, after listening to his words, Shi Le was noncommittal, and Diao Ying felt bad.

"General, Zhang Bin's father is the Taishou of Zhongshan in Jin, his Zhang family is favored by the king, but he doesn't think about repaying the favor, such a villain, the general can't be gullible. Diao Ying didn't wait for Zhang Bin to speak, so he hit a rake first.

"I remember a few years ago, when I met the general for the first time, I once said to my nephew Zhang Cheng that I have seen many generals in my history, and General Duhu can achieve great things together. Since ancient times, kings have chosen ministers, and ministers have also chosen kings. My character, the general, and all of you know it, and I don't defend it. But I really can't agree with the opinion of the right chief. Zhang Bin didn't even look at Diao Ying, but turned his head to look at Shi Le.

"The general captured the imperial capital, imprisoned the Son of Heaven, killed the princes, and the wife and concubine, and promoted the general's hair is not enough to count the general's crimes. In the hundreds of miles of rain that fell from the sky, the general should not stay. Ye has three sets (i.e., Tongque Terrace, Jinhu Terrace, Bingjing Terrace) of the solid, west of Pingyang, four mountains and rivers, there is the tendency of the throat, it is advisable to migrate to the north. Defeat the rebellion, the river is established, and there is no place for the right of the general. Jin Zhi Bao Shouchun, afraid of the general's attack, now the pawn heard that the army is back, will be pleased with the enemy, not to mention the surprise of the attack. The baggage is from the north road, the army is to Shouchun, the baggage is over, the army is back, why not be afraid of advancing and retreating. After Zhang Bin finished speaking, Shi Le nodded in praise. Zhang Bin's words are also very simple, first of all, he listed Shi Le's guilt, of course, this is said to the Jin people, didn't you Diao Ying say that he surrendered first? Shi Le broke through Luoyang, captured the Son of Heaven, killed many princes, and arrested the emperor's daughter as his wife, and the crime he committed was a hair and a hair, and he couldn't count it if he pulled it out, so even if Shi Le wanted to surrender, would the Jin Dynasty dare to accept it?

Then Zhang Bin put forward Shile's retreat, the location of Yizhou is very important and it is not difficult to get, and pointed out his own opinion, and if you waste time here, you will not get anything. Zhixiong, Kong Chang and other Shile ministers didn't want to confront each other here for a long time, Zhang Bin's words were in line with their thoughts, and Yizhou has been a place to achieve the emperor's industry since ancient times, for example, Yuan Shao, at least he can dominate the side, the plague is rampant here in Yuzhou, and no one knows if he will die here, so they all agree.

Diao Ying's eyes rolled when he saw this, and he had an idea: "General, this Zhang Bin's nephew died in Yizhou, I think he wants to persuade you to go to Yizhou, so as to avenge him, don't believe it." ”

The smile on Shi Le's face was put away: "Since you are assisting each other, you should make a great achievement together, but why don't you fall alone! This strategy should be killed! After speaking, he abolished Diao's right chief and appointed Zhang Bin as the right chief official, and Zhang Bin officially became the number one adviser under Shi Le. Diao Ying couldn't see Shi Le's heroic posture at all, how could he bow his head to the Jin people? No wonder he had completely lost trust.

Shi Le's banquet officially announced Zhang Bin's appointment, and after the death of his subordinates, everyone called Zhang Bin the right candidate, and Zhang Bin finally became the first strategist under Shi Le.

At the banquet, Shi Le told everyone the news that Zhang Bin's nephew Zhang Cheng had been killed, whether it was to curry favor with Zhang Bin or for other reasons, everyone asked for battle, but was stopped by Zhang Bin. This Shi Le is worthy of being a hero, obviously he did it himself, but when he said it, it was like his own dead son, so that Zhang Bin was even more loyal to Shi Le, and the world said that Cao Mengde was a traitor, and this Shi Le was no different.

In fact, Zhang Bin couldn't do it even if he advocated the immediate withdrawal of the army, Shi Le's army fell into the mess of Yuzhou, and it was not a simple matter to want to leave, and Ji Zhan on the opposite side was not a simple person, and a rash retreat was likely to cause a rout. Zhang Bin said righteously that he could not abolish the public because of his private affairs, and he won another piece of praise. The banquet ended in a happy mood, Zhang Bin returned to the house, looked at the ground and whispered: "Cheng'er, no matter who harms you, I will avenge you." "The ground collapsed with a bang, and if it was seen that the polite Zhang Bin was still a master, then he would definitely be shocked.

Horseback riding is not something that can be learned in a moment, let alone riding a horse. In the next month, Chu Yun didn't take any action, but only strengthened his training, fortunately, many of Liu Bi's troops were proficient in horsemanship, so it was quite smooth.

Chu Yun reorganized the troops from the new and made an iron-blooded battle flag, there are now more than 7,000 people under his command, and the Fang family has finally returned to obedience, Chu Yun's power is getting bigger and bigger, and Fang Qing also knows the truth of hugging his thighs in troubled times, so he can only take refuge. There are more than 7,000 people, half of whom are men in their prime, Chu Yun knows that in the troubled times, the army is the capital, so he continued to work hard and incorporated almost all the prime of life into the army.

Chu Yun still considered himself the governor of the iron-blooded army, with Wang Lian, Zhang Tong, and Fang Qing as his subordinates, and Liu Bi, Fu Yi, Guo Shuzi and others as his minions, with 3,600 people under his command, more than half of whom were equipped with leather armor and iron weapons, forming a force that was not weak.

Chu Yun reorganized the escort team and named it Tiger Benwei, Chu Yun had a soft spot for this name, and there were six hundred people under it, with Guo Yong as the captain of Hu Ben, their role was not only to protect Chu Yun, but also to garrison the brains of the Iron Army, Wang Lian and others, and everyone had thirty Tiger Benwei by their side. And Liu Bi and the other lieutenants also have fifty guards around them, and the Tiger Benwei is the strongest combat power around Chu Yun, and they are loyal to Chu Yun, they not only play the role of protection, but also the role of monitoring.

In addition to Hu Benwei, the remaining 3,000 people are divided into five captains, Liu Bi, Guo Shuzi, Fu Yi, Fang Dashan, and Zhou Bin each command 600 people, each captain has three captains, and a captain leads 200 people, but each of them has a deputy lieutenant, although the lieutenant and the deputy lieutenant have high ranks, but they do not subordinate each other, unless in wartime, otherwise the lieutenant and the deputy lieutenant each command a hundred people.

I have to say that Chu Yun has been the master of the Overlord Sect for so long, and he has learned a lot of balancing methods, so even if there is a captain who has a different heart, he can't guarantee that all his subordinates will follow.

Of course, Liu Bi was the commander of Yangwudu, second only to Chu Yun, and he also had 600 people under him, plus 50 guards, which was a lot more than before. But his loyal subordinates were scattered, and even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't. But seeing that he usually worked seriously, Chu Yunming's vigilance against him relaxed a lot.

Just when Chu Yun personally went down to lead people to train every day, Feng Chengjia, who was under his command, suddenly came to report that there was a sudden change in the Hun tribe dozens of miles away from the Iron Blood Castle, and Chu Yun immediately paid attention to it.

There are about two or three thousand people in this tribe of the Huns, and they rarely go out of the village, so Chu Yun doesn't know the specific number, they are usually very low-key, and they hardly make any moves, but now that they have moved, Chu Yun immediately paid attention.

"Governor, there were about a thousand of them, each with two horses, and they didn't know what they were going to do. Chu Yun only had two horses left in his ears, and Chu Yun didn't expect that the Huns would be able to raise so many horses in the dense forests of Taihang Mountain. Although Chu Yun grabbed a lot of horses, he didn't move now, not because there were too many people and few horses, so he couldn't bring so many people.

"Which direction did they go out?" Chu Yun asked again.

"It's the North. Chu Yun fell into deep thought. The north where they are located is still Yizhou, dozens of large and small cities, most of which are in a state of autonomy, because the Jin Dynasty can't control it here, the Huns Liu Cong's attention is in Guanzhong, Shile's attention is in Yuzhou, and Youzhou's assassin Wang Jun's attention is in Youzhou, he doesn't dare to interfere in Yizhou, so as not to cause hostility between Liu Cong and Shile, and the Xianbei people are in Youzhou and the territory to the north. Instead, it becomes a power vacuum.

Of course, Chu Yun didn't dare to do it casually, not to mention that these large and small cities have city walls, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if they are captured, Chu Yun will not be able to occupy them, and if there are heavy casualties, it will be even more unbearable. Of course, there are not only Han people in these places, but also many forces such as the Xiongnu, the Wuhuan people, the Qian people, and the Zahu people, all of which were slowly migrated by the Hu people after the Eight Kings Rebellion. Chu Yun refused to move north, firstly because there were few horses, and secondly, because the strength in the north was too complicated, Chu Yun was afraid of accidents, and now that the neighbors around him were actually dispatched, Chu Yun couldn't bear it anymore.

"Call Captain Lu Di over. Chu Yun opened his mouth and said, this Lu Di is the current leader of the Wuhuan tribe conquered by Chu Yun back then, and they have almost integrated into Chu Yun's tribe now. Lu Di even mixed up to the high position of school captain, he was a general under Fang Dashan.

"Governor. "Lu Di soon came, after more than a year of training, he is no longer the barbarian in fur, but wearing Han clothes, ruddy complexion, and hair is also like the Jin people with his hair coiled on the top of his head, from the outside, he is almost no different from the Han people, the Wuhuan people are different from the Qian people, they merged with the Han people very early.

"Brother Lu, I have a task to give you, but you may have to suffer some flesh and skin, are you willing?" Chu Yun asked.

In the dense forest on the west side of Taihang Mountain, two Hu men in leather armor supported each other to hurry, the two of them were covered in blood, and their clothes were even more tattered, as if they were fleeing for their lives. Behind them there was a large number of chasing, shouting as if they were chasing the two of them, one of the bearded men had a shoe that fell off, and he didn't dare to pick it up, he had a bare foot, and he didn't go far before the center of his foot was cut, and the blood left obvious marks on the ground along his foot.

"It's almost there, hold on. "They don't speak Chinese, and with the way they look, it's clear that they're Hu people.

The two Hu people walked dozens of miles with their support, I don't know if it was their luck or other reasons, the pursuers behind did not catch up with the two people.

"Look, there's a stockade there. The less injured man cried out excitedly, and the other had a happy face, but before he could say anything he fainted. The people on the stockade also saw two people, and quickly rescued a few soldiers who were dressed similarly to the two men, these people looked at the two people with wary faces, and the man who was not unconscious muttered something, and several soldiers didn't know whether to believe it or not, and at this time the pursuers behind the two men finally appeared.

They also saw these soldiers, both sides were five or six people, so no one dared to move, several soldiers of different races saw these people and immediately blew the whistle in front of them, and soon there were many people wearing all kinds of leather clothes in the camp, and these pursuers could only retreat helplessly.

A gray-haired old man of an alien race walked out surrounded by a crowd, and several people on duty introduced the situation in a grunt, the old man nodded, and then turned around and entered the camp, and several people carried the two people who were chased and killed inside.

This is just a very common scene in the Central Plains, the Han people kill the Hu people, and the Hu people also kill the Han people, so no one cares.

One of the ancient Kyushu and Han Dynasty thirteen thorn history departments, King Pingyin of Zhou Wu, was called to the hometown of Youzhou, called Yan. During the Warring States period, Yan and the other six countries were seven heroes. Qin Shi Huang destroyed Yan and placed Yuyang, Shanggu, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other counties in Yandi.

During the time of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the valley was placed in Zhuo County, and the Yan Kingdom was also set up. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the Youzhou Thorn History Department, and the Ministry of Thorn Yan Prefecture Counties. Emperor Wu opened the border, and placed Xuansu, Lelang and other counties, which also belonged to Youzhou.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it governed counties, eleven countries, and ninety counties. Youzhou is located in Ji County, Ji County, and its site is near Guang'anmen in the southwest of today's Beijing City. The territory of the jurisdiction corresponds to present-day Beijing, northern Hebei, southern Liaoning, and northwestern Korea.

After the Wei and Jin dynasties, the territory of Youzhou gradually shrank, and only the three counties of Yan, Fanyang and Yuyang were led.

Don't look at Youzhou There are only a few counties left, but it has a large population, because of the chaos of the five Hu, so Youzhou, which is still ruled by the Han people, has become a refuge for the Han people, whether it is a large influx of scholars or poor people, so that Youzhou soldiers are strong and strong.

Wang Jun, who was the assassin of Youzhou at the time, had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, a population of more than one million, and Liu Kun of Jinyang and Xianbei people as the humerus, so he was arrogant and had the ambition to be the emperor. Wang Jun made a fake crown prince, prepared a hundred officials, listed the town, and received the Shangshu order by himself, and later installed his own cronies to serve in various positions.

Now Youzhou is definitely a place like a peach source, neither Liu Cong nor Shi Le has the strength to provoke Wang Jun, but other forces are trying to expand their strength, but Wang Jun is obsessed with his ambitions, and today he invited celebrities from all walks of life in Youzhou to prepare for his ambitions.

The banquet was held very luxuriously, and when the ordinary people didn't even have wild vegetables, Wang Jun was still extremely poor and extravagant, and the roast lambs at the banquet alone were all lambs less than a year old, killing hundreds of heads. Wang Jun's poverty and luxury are accustomed to people, everyone has two beautiful maids to serve, and there are dozens of singers dancing in the hall, Wang Jun sees everyone on the main seat is very happy, and he is also very happy.

At the end of the singing and dancing, several celebrities stepped forward to toast Wang Jun, these are representatives of several families, so Wang Jun did not slack off, and raised his glass enthusiastically.

"Wang Shangshu is highly respected, supporting the chaos in the north alone, and the people who are sheltered are not millions, that is, the merits of Zhou Gong and Huo Guang in the world are not as good as the princes, and we are also thanks to the protection of the princes, I propose to drink this cup for the princes of the Optimus Pillar of the Great Jin Dynasty. The person who spoke was his wife-in-law, Hua Pu, the contemporary head of the Hua family, this Hua family was a Wei and Jin Gaomen, and Hua Xin, the Taiwei of Cao Wei, was their ancestor. He relied on his sister to be Wang Jun's wife, so he was very domineering, and his proposal was agreed by almost everyone, but there was an old man who was full of righteousness who didn't hear it and drank by himself.

"Huo Fuzi, do you think what I said is wrong?" This old man's name is Huo Yuan, and his reputation is very big, he was invited by Wang Junqiang to come over, just for his own ambition. In the last years of Emperor Hui Yuankang of the Western Jin Dynasty, Huo Yuan and Wang Bao and others were edicted by the imperial court for their virtue, and Huo Yuan resigned and lived in seclusion in Guangyang Mountain. Xu Meng, the assassin of Youzhou, has always admired Huo Yuan's fame, and will go to visit Huo Yuan, but the chief secretary of the car dissuaded him that as the assassin of Youzhou, he can't easily get out of the management world, Xu Meng sighed and stopped. Huo Yuan lectured in the secluded Guangyang Mountain, teaching thousands of disciples, and people called him "Master of Northern Hebei". But at this time, Huapu called Huo Yuan his master, but he was full of contempt.

"The Son of Heaven was in trouble, he was living hard in Chang'an back then, I don't know if Zhou Gong and Huo Guang would have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers when they encountered this situation, and watched the Son of Heaven covered in dust. After hearing this, Wang Jun's color suddenly changed, this Huo Yuan revealed his true face in front of everyone that he seemed to be loyal, but in fact he was trying to respect himself, but Huo Yuan was very famous, but he couldn't deal with it directly, so he directly flicked his sleeves and left.

A well-wisher reminded Huo Yuan to be careful, because this Wang Jun has a cruel temperament and is also the emperor of Youzhou, but Huo Yuan didn't take it to heart, he went directly back to his secluded place to concentrate on lecturing, as if he didn't know that Wang Jun had murderous intentions towards him.

Chu Yun concentrated on training for another month, and the riding skills of the Iron Blood Army have greatly improved, although it is far worse than the Hu people who died immediately, but at least they can ride a horse and hurry, just when Chu Yun was concentrating on practicing martial arts, Feng Chengjia, the intelligence leader of the Iron Blood Army, suddenly came to visit, Chu Yun turned to the towel handed over by the maidservant and sprinkled his face, he is now almost twenty years old, his body is getting stronger and stronger because of nutrition, and the muscles on his body exude an attractive luster in the sun, several maids peeked at Chu Yun with admiration, but Chu Yun didn't care。

"Pass him in. Chu Yun put on a coat and strode out, several maids were a little disappointed, why did his own governor have no feelings for them at all, you must know that they were the most beautiful among his thousands of people.
