"Did you contact Guo Yong?" Chu Yun sat in front of a fire and stretched out his hand to roast the fire, the sourness of riding a horse in winter was simply overwhelming, and what was even more devastating was that it was still snowing in winter, and riding a horse in the snow was almost like death, so they were all leading the horse, so they came so late, but fortunately, the snow is almost melting now.

The solution that Chu Yun and Zhang Tong discussed was to defeat the enemy army in Pingjingu and completely open the passage between Shangdang County and Xihe County, so that Shangdang County's endless supply of materials and men could support Xihe County. So as to achieve victory without victory and force the Huns to withdraw their troops. Chu Yun knew that the first target of the Huns had never been himself, and if the Huns felt that it was too difficult to take down themselves, they would automatically leave without Chu Yun saying it. Zhang Tong's strategic vision is definitely top-notch, he asked Chu Yun to attack Pingjin Valley, as long as he succeeded, he would completely solve the strategic offensive of the Huns, and let the iron-blooded army turn the danger into a disaster. It's a pity that a talent like Zhang Tong in history has been deeply buried, because he was born in a wealthy family, so that Zhang Tong, who has a peerless talent, has not left a trace, I have to say that this is the sadness of history, of course, it is also made by the charm of history.

After the first battle of Xihe County, Chu Yun immediately let Shangdang County start to expand the army, and the Iron Blood Army originally had eight cavalry brigades (including the Iron Cavalry) and fourteen infantry brigades (including the Temporary First Brigade and the Temporary Second Brigade), a total of 97,000 troops, compared to the total population of Shangdang County and Xihe County, the proportion of soldiers had reached ten to one. But in the face of the current crisis in Shangdang County, Chu Yun is ready to expand by tens of thousands more, and the Iron Blood Army has always attached great importance to reserves, so Chu Yun gave an order, and the Iron Blood Army expanded into a cavalry brigade and two infantry brigades, and Chu Yun gave a death order to expand another cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade within three months. Chu Yun is preparing to reform the military system, and the brigade level is no longer the highest level, so everyone in the Iron and Blood Army knows that they are going to be promoted, and they are full of enthusiasm.

Don't think that there are a lot of hundreds of thousands of troops, such as the Huns have a million troops, but those who can be assembled to fight at any time are one-third of them, and the rest have their own tasks. The iron-blooded army is the same, his territory can be said to be the land of four battles, so Chu Yun must use most of his troops to defend the safety of his territory if he wants to expand, so there are actually not many troops that can be taken out. Chu Yun's next target is Liangzhou, compared to the Huns, Shile and Xianbei people, Liangzhou is a soft persimmon, but they also have hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, Chu Yun's desperate riot soldiers were also helpless.

"Back to the governor, several carrier pigeons were sent out, but we saw that several of them were shot dead by the Huns' archers, so we don't know if General Guo received the news. Mao Yu said as he leaned over to the fire and roasted it.

"How is the Hun camp arranged?" Chu Yun asked again.

"You don't know, and you don't know how stupid the Huns' commander was, but their camp was fenced around, and there was not even a horse or a ditch. However, the other party's camp is very neatly arranged, I grabbed a few tongues, and asked clearly, the Huns' camp is flat and stable, and the tents are all neatly erected, and I don't know what to do when it looks so good. However, the opponent's camp is divided into several parts, and their cavalry, Hun infantry, Han army and Minfu all have their own independent camps. Mao Yu told all the news he had heard.

"It seems that the commander of the other party is very handy, it seems that there is no defense, but it is actually a chain of defense, the commander of the other party is called Liu Yi, I didn't expect such a boy who has never led a soldier to be so powerful, the Huns are really the darling of the god of war. Chu Yun said with a smile, obviously not taking it to heart, don't look at the Huns' camp seems to be neat, just like a whole, but it is not difficult to break, as long as the attack is fast enough, the overall defense of the Huns is a joke. However, Chu Yun was still worried that Guo Yong had not received his news, which was related to the outcome of this battle.

If Guo Yong sent troops to attack, Chu Yun would have the confidence to defeat the enemy in a battle, completely disrupting the strategic deployment of the Huns, and the crisis in Xihe County would be solved. But if they are only repelled, they can make a comeback in a short time, and then the hub of Xihe County and Shangdang County will still be contained by the Huns, and then the Iron Blood Army can only usher in the loss of Xihe County, and the turtle will retract back to Shangdang County, and the prospects of the Iron Blood Army will be worrying.

The sharpshooters in Liu Yi's army shot down a lot of carrier pigeons, but unfortunately in the face of the password letter of the Iron Army, no one could understand it. The Arabic numerals designed by Chu Yun are only understood by a very small number of special people in the Supervision Department, and the real information can only be obtained by comparing the widely circulated "Analects" of Confucius with Arabic numerals, so it is a hell of a thing if the Huns can understand it.

The next night, Chu Yun was ready to do it regardless of whether Guo Yong received his order or not, the Huns in Xihe County had already done it, and Chu Yun had always been concerned about the safety of this Xihe County. Once the Predator Army survived this crisis, Chu Yun was ready to make a move against the Shangjun controlled by Xiliang, Shangjun had almost no experience of war, and received a lot of displaced people, if Chu Yun got Shangjun, the power of the Predator Army would definitely rise sharply, seeing that the strength of other forces in the world had increased greatly, Chu Yun couldn't sit still, and the battle for hegemony was against the current.

More than 10,000 cavalry all silently waited for Chu Yun's order, Chu Yun was ready to attack the southernmost cavalry camp first, and then completely disrupt the four Xiongnu camps from south to north, of course, if Guo Yong received the news, his 20,000 troops would attack from north to south, and they would definitely achieve the greatest results.

When the Huns felt the shaking of the earth, it was too late, Chu Yun took the lead in the Hun cavalry camp, many cavalry were trampled into meat before they got on their horses, and in less than a quarter of an hour, 10,000 Hun cavalry were all solved, they didn't even have a chance to run, they were either killed or surrendered on their knees, Chu Yun left some people to look at the prisoners, and continued to kill towards the next Hun camp.

At the same time, Guo Yong also sent troops, and one of the several carrier pigeons released by the Iron Blood Army finally escaped the Hun archers and flew to the position of Pingjin Valley, Guo Yong gathered his 20,000 troops and waited for the arrival of the second watch.

So the Hun camp completely collapsed under the front and rear attacks of the iron-blooded army, and it was too late for Liu Yi to find out that something was wrong, and the iron-blooded army had already entered his camp, and Liu Yi didn't even have a chance to run, so he was captured by the Fang Dashan division of the first brigade.

At dawn, the battle was basically over, and the 60,000 troops of the Xiongnu Pingjingu were almost wiped out, and the iron-blooded army captured prisoners everywhere with great fanfare. There was a lot of commotion everywhere, and we didn't even have time to count how many prisoners there were. At noon the next day, Guo Yongcai took time to meet Chu Yun, who was covered in blood and was invited into the Pingjin Valley, and Chu Yun's appearance caused earth-shattering cheers from the soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army.

Chu Yun took a bath, and immediately ordered Guo Shuzi to lead the Fifth Cavalry Brigade and the newly built Eighth Cavalry Brigade stationed in Changzi City to come, Guo Yong's Second Cavalry Brigade was also ready at any time, once the two cavalry brigades arrived, Chu Yun was ready to rescue Xihe County. At that time, Chu Yun gathered nearly 30,000 cavalry from the Iron Cavalry, the First Cavalry Brigade, the Second Cavalry Brigade, the Third Cavalry Brigade, the Fifth Cavalry Brigade, the Sixth Cavalry Brigade, the Seventh Cavalry Brigade and the Eighth Cavalry Brigade. Of course, the cavalry of the Iron and Blood Army, except for the Iron and Blood Cavalry, the rest were by no means the opponents of the Xiongnu Forbidden Army.

However, just when Chu Yun was waiting for several brigades to arrive and count the captured personnel and materials, a news came that made Chu Yun stunned, Nie County was breached, tens of thousands of people in the entire Nie County were slaughtered, and the Seventh Brigade of Cui Zhen's Infantry who defended Nie County was wiped out, and Chu Yun's brother-in-law Cui Zhen did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Chu Yun had never been so angry, and Chu Yun didn't even think about it and decided that Liu Kun did it, because no army except him could suddenly appear in Nie County.

"Liu Kun, you bastard, you actually stabbed me in the back, where am I sorry for you? I'm sorry for the imperial court? Feng Chengjia, you waste, that's how you spy on Jinyang?" The furious Chu Yun made no one dare to approach, and the thick murderous aura on Chu Yun's body made it impossible for this group of fierce generals who were used to seeing killing and blood to resist, Chu Yun thought that he didn't have a sin Liu Kun, but he respected him very much, but now he actually joined forces with the Hu people to attack him, this is where Chu Yun is most angry. Isn't Chu Yun's purpose in doing this so that all the Han people in the world don't have to live in the fear of being dominated by the Hu people? And Chu Yun thinks that Liu Kun is the same person as him, which is the reason why Chu Yun is furious. Of course, Liu Kun is by no means the same person as him, in Liu Kun's heart, as long as the imperial court exists, it doesn't matter if the Han people in the north are all dead, his loyalty to the imperial court is not loyalty to the Han people.

What to do after the anger, the northern defense line of Shangdang County has been breached, and it must be taken back immediately, otherwise the situation in Shangdang County will definitely be erosive, the defense of Shangdang County is like an egg, it is very strong all around, but it is very soft inside, after Nie County is breached, Shangdang County is like a girl who has been stripped naked.

And what Chu Yun and the Iron Blood Army couldn't stand the most was why Liu Kun wanted to slaughter the city in Nie County, you must know that there are tens of thousands of households in Nie County, don't Liu Kun need these people? These are all Han people, Liu Kun is simply crazy.

"Governor, I ask for orders to lead people to the battle, as long as I give me 20,000 horses, I will definitely break through Jinyang and sacrifice Liu Kun's head in front of you. Guo Yong was the first to ask for battle, and the rest of the people also asked for battle, the dust has settled in Pingjin Valley, but the situation of the Iron Blood Army is even worse. Liu Kun fell out with the Iron Army, Nie County was broken, Shangdang County was really the place of the four wars, and Xihe County was also exposed in front of Liu Kun, if Liu Kun sent troops to Xihe County, then it would be over.

"Although Xihe County has been attacked, Shangdang County is our old nest, and I am determined to calm the safety of Shangdang County first, and then rescue Xihe County. Guo Yong, I temporarily appoint you as the commander of the cavalry, commanding all the cavalry except the iron-blooded cavalry to rescue Xihe County, your main task is to ensure that Zhongyang City, Lishicheng and Lin County are not lost, and lead people to harass the Hun army and avoid a decisive battle. Fang Dashan, I order you to be the general of Pingjin Valley, guard Pingjin Valley for me, and take care of the prisoners. Remember that safety is the most important thing, and I will lead the iron-blooded rider to meet Liu Kun. Chu Yun knew that he had to go, but he was not afraid of Liu Kun's tens of thousands of horses, his men and horses were all new soldiers, in fact, they didn't have much combat effectiveness, Chu Yun was afraid that Liu Kun, who was the master of the Divine Stone, would take action in person, and there would be no one to fight against except himself.

"Dudu, some of the Hun captives want to see you. Just as Chu Yun was about to act, his subordinates suddenly came to report.

"Who are they?" Chu Yun asked unhappily.

"Governors, they are all retainers, they say they are from some family, let you go and see them. Before the military master in charge of managing the prisoners finished speaking, Fang Dashan became angry first, he pulled out the sword at his waist, turned around and walked out.

"Brigade Commander Fang, why are you going?" Guo Yong hurriedly stopped.

"Dudu, those dogs still have faces to see you, a bunch of soft eggs without bones, and let you go to see them, they have such big faces! After Fang Dashan finished speaking, he wanted to break free of Guo Yong.

"Who are you? Okay, I know you're faithful. I'm also very curious, where do they have so much confidence, and let me go to meet them, Guo Yong, you go and make arrangements, let them send two representatives to come, I want to see what they are going to do. Fang Dashan touched his head and retreated, the rest of the brigade commanders regretted it in their hearts, who said that this Fang Dashan is honest, this guy is very good, look at the sycophants of others, no wonder the governor believes in him.

Soon two old men who were a little depressed were brought over, these two people wore the first-class official mansion of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom considered itself to be the successor of the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty was Huode, but the official uniform was mainly black, and the official uniform of the Xiongnu Han State also had this feature, and the difference between the official uniform of the Jin Dynasty and the red was not small.

Chu Yun and his subordinates looked at the old man who held his head high and tried his best to maintain his dignity, and they couldn't laugh or cry. They don't know that these two guys have become second ministers, that is, traitors, and what else is there to drag. Of course, Chu Yun and his group of people from humble backgrounds did not know the family of this era, this group of people could sell the interests of the country for the interests of the family, as long as the family was fine, even if the country perished. This is the consensus of the family's gate valve, Chu Yun, a descendant, after so many years of red education, has been nurtured for decades to give up the concept of giving up a small family to care for everyone, it is strange to be able to understand.

"I am the Great Zhao State (after Liu Cong ascended the throne, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom was renamed the Zhao State), the crown prince and the prince, Hongnong, Yang Hong, Yang Hong. The taller old man said proudly.

"I am the prince of the Great Zhao Kingdom, Shaobao, Gaoping Xijia, Xiliang. The short old man also shook his head and said.

After the two of them finished speaking, they stopped talking, half-closed their eyes were obviously waiting for Chu Yun to make a statement, Chu Yun is not just coming to this era, whether it is the Hongnong Yang family or the Jiyin Xi family, they are all first-class families in this era, the Yang family has produced many talents from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, starting from Yang Chang, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, there are several products alone, Yuan Shao said every day that he is the fourth and third princes, in fact, the Yang family has more than the Yuan family. And the Gaoping Xi family is also a first-class family in the world, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present generations have produced high-ranking officials, it is a wealthy family named after the Langya Wang family, and Xi Jian under Sima Rui, the king of Langya, is now the Yanzhou assassin appointed by Sima Rui. But in Chu Yun's eyes, your family is high, and it can't change the fact that you have taken refuge in another race. There is a natural generation gap between his thinking and the people of this era.

Chu Yun glanced at the two old men, stood up and left, he wanted these two guys to know their current status, if they were prisoners, they had the consciousness of being prisoners, and the others also got up when they saw Chu Yun leaving. The two of them closed their eyes for a long time and didn't see Chu Yun care, so they could only open their eyes, but what they saw was an empty tent.

The two old men were directly stupid, this is not right, they know that Chu Yun is also a child of the family, according to the rules of the family, shouldn't you come to meet the seniors, sit down and talk about the old days, and then praise each other a few words, and treat them well? Why doesn't this guy play cards according to common sense?

Since he was so arrogant, Chu Yun was not used to it, and half an hour later, Chu Yun led the iron-blooded army towards Niexian to kill him.
