Chapter 18: The Predators

Chu Yun's anger was interrupted by Zhang Tong behind him, Chu Yun knew that if he wanted to achieve a big thing, he couldn't rely on himself alone, so he treated this Zhang Tong, who seemed to be very scheming and had no foundation of his own, he had to restrain his anger, and then turned around and asked Zhang Tong.

"Lord, can you let Tong tell me alone?" Zhang Tong looked at Chu Yun and said, Chu Yun waved his hand after a little thought and asked Fang Dashan and the others to retreat.

"Lord, I know that you are angry at Fu Yi's disobedience, and the governor and Tong originally agreed to put Fang Qing under house arrest and annex the Fang family's forces. However, after Deputy Governor Fu refused today, Tong realized that my knowledge was far inferior to that of Deputy Governor Fu. Imagine that the Fang family strictly abides by our covenant, they are not at fault, and even we used their identities to easily take down the Zhang family. If we don't have a little rhetoric to annex the Fang family, this matter will definitely become a stain on our development, as the saying goes, people do not stand without faith, not to mention the head of the power of the Governor of your side, we want to grow stronger, to realize the ambition in our hearts, we can't covet a little selfish gain. Besides, Fang Qing is a person who doesn't have many opinions, and it is not difficult for us to use means to slowly concoct him, so why do such a thing in order to save time and effort. That's why I said that Fu Yi's deputy governor is still above me, and the lord has this person to assist, and Tong is really happy for the lord. Tong was short-sighted and actually came up with such a low-level scheme for the lord, please punish the lord. After Zhang Tong finished speaking, Chu Yun helped him up, and then was silent for a long time, but he still agreed with Zhang Tong's words, but Chu Yun had to punish him for disobeying his orders.

After half a month, Chu Yun finally digested the territory of the Zhang family and the Shen family temporarily, and he moved the headquarters of the Self-Rescue Army to Shenjiabao and renamed it Self-Rescue Fort. At this time, there were already more than 4,000 people in the self-help army, which was also Chu Yun's wanton massacre of the remaining number in order to stabilize his own power, whether it was the main branch of the Zhang family or the Shen family, it was swept away by Chu Yun, and neither Zhang Tong nor Fu Yi and others had any opinions on this matter.

Chu Yun was still appointed as the governor, and the position of deputy governor was revoked, and Fu Yi was appointed as the governor, everyone could see that this was a punishment for disobedience, because the deputy governor represented one person, but there were several captains, Chu Yun ordered Fang Dashan, Guo Shuzi, The three of the two eggs and Zhou Bin are Du Lieutenants, and there are two people at the same level as Du Wei, namely Zhang Tong and Wang Lian, their positions are engaged, Zhang Tong is not engaged in driving, Wang Lian is engaged in governance, Wang Lian is nominally above Zhang Tong, managing the financial power and all logistics of the self-help army, and Zhang Tong's other driving is engaged in management and giving advice and rewards and punishments to Chu Yun, but Chu Yun still relies more on Zhang Tong, Zhang Tong is a cold man, Wang Lian is different, this guy has a family.

In addition, Chu Yun set up 17 queues of more than 2,000 middle-aged men under his command, and each queue was still 100 people, which was really full. Except for the escort team directly controlled by Chu Yun, which was four hundred people, which was controlled by Guo Yong on his behalf, the rest were all composed of one hundred people.

The captain of each team was renamed as a captain, and the sixteen captains were controlled by four captains, and the escort team was a separate sequence, all of which were the most elite manpower under Chu Yun, because the number of guards reached four hundred, so although the leader Guo Yong was named a captain, his real power was comparable to that of a captain.

In addition, Chu Yun did not abandon Wangjiabao, Zhangjiabao and other villages, these places have a lot of arable land, although Chu Yun has a lot of food, but Chu Yun will not dislike the food. Chu Yun ordered Fu Yi to be the commander of Tuntian, responsible for leading his subordinates to Tuntian, and clearing some suitable land for cultivation, and they were also responsible for the defense of the southern area.

Guo Shuzi took his 400 people to be responsible for the defense of the east side of the self-help fort, their main job is to protect, and the second is to recruit displaced people, after all, they are Taihang Mountain in the west, and a large plain in the east, although they were slaughtered a lot by the Hu people, but how can someone escape into the mountains, Guo Shuzi is responsible for this work.

Although Zhou Bin did not have the elite subordinates of the forward team, but the number of his subordinates skyrocketed, he was responsible for the defense of the north of the self-help fort, there is a Hu people's stockade in the north, it is said that there are three or four thousand Huns stationed, which is why the Shen family has not forgotten to unify these stockades, the Huns are all soldiers, he is afraid that the Huns will attack him, so he desperately expands his strength, but unfortunately he died before he left, and Chu Yun was cheaper, but Chu Yun was going to be a one-sided threat to the Huns.

Now the Huns have established a regime and slaughtered the emperors of the Jin Dynasty, it is in full swing, but this tribe did not follow, Chu Yun and the others did not know what their reason was, but they did not dare to attack rashly, otherwise the power of the Huns would not be blown, and Chu Yun was afraid of provoking a strong enemy that he could not deal with by his own small forces. It is said that the Huns now have hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Jin Dynasty has fallen apart, not to mention hundreds of thousands, even a thousand regular troops are enough for Chu Yun to drink a pot.

And in the end, the remaining Fang Dashan's main duty was to protect the self-help fort, but they were sent out by Chu Yun, nominally to train and hunt to improve, in fact, they were on a secret mission, which was to find Su Jin, as time went by, Chu Yun found that Su Jin's chances of survival were smaller, so he was so irritable and murderous. He will never forget the period of time when he lived with Su Jin, what Chu Yun looked forward to most every day was to see Su Jin and eat those wild vegetables that were difficult to swallow, even if Chu Yun's food was greatly improved now, he would eat wild vegetables at every meal, his subordinates thought that Chu Yun was sharing weal and woe with them, in fact, Chu Yun was thinking about his life-saving benefactor Su Jin.

The escort team led by Guo Yong was adapted from the forward team, and it can be said that it is the most powerful team under Chu Yun. Don't look at the forward team is also 400 people, but one-on-one, none of the other captains are opponents. Although Guo Yong is only a school captain, people with a discerning eye can see that Chu Yun attaches great importance to him, and the two brothers of the Guo family are both captains and captains, and they can be said to have become an upstart in Chu Yun's forces.

In addition, Chu Yun also found out Feng Chengjia, a guy who was proficient in disguise, and appointed him as the supervising captain, whose main role was to investigate, Chu Yun asked him to find some men and women who could speak well to form an intelligence organization for the Self-Rescue Army. However, Wang Lian, Zhang Tong and others saw Chu Yun's strong ambition from this appointment, if he didn't have the ambition to be in the world, how could he have an intelligence agency with just a few thousand people?

The following days were uneventful, and Chu Yun's self-help army slowly reached more than 5,000 people, and the troops reached 20 teams, which was almost exhausted. These are the results of recruiting homeless people, and Chu Yun trained his subordinates for half a year in accordance with the Baizi Art of War, although he can't reach the command of his arm, but at least he can do the order and prohibit, if it weren't for the lack of equipment under Chu Yun's subordinates, then Chu Yun would definitely send troops to loot the Hu people. As more and more homeless people grew, Chu Yun also had a rough idea of the situation outside.

Last year, that is, in the fifth year of Yongjia, the Huns Liu Cong successively sent troops to break through Luoyang and captured Emperor Huai of Jin, but Emperor Huai of Jin was not dead, and his nephew Emperor Huai's nephew Sima Ye ascended the throne in Chang'an, which was Emperor Jin Chu, and the Western Jin Dynasty did not perish at this time. The Huns Liu Cong changed the Han established by his father to the Great Zhao, and used troops against Chang'an in the west and Liu Kun in the north, and his general Shi Le, a man of the Qiang tribe, became a semi-independent force by virtue of the prestige of winning a hundred battles, and fought with the King of Langya of the Jin Dynasty in Shouchun and other places, and is now fighting in the dark.

Now although Luoyang was broken, but the Jin Dynasty was not destroyed, the Western Jin Dynasty is still orthodox, although many families have crossed the Yangtze River in the south, but there are still many resistance forces, such as the imperial court in Xi'an, the king of Langya in Yangzhou, Liu Kun in Jinyang, the Xianbei people in Youzhou Duan Piyan and Youzhou Thorn Shi Wang Jun, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Zuti, and the beggar army in northern Hebei are loyal to the imperial court. In this way, it seems that the Jin Dynasty still has an advantage north of the Yangtze River, and even the Xianbei people are loyal and have not betrayed, while the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu are only a few million, and now although the Han people in the north are killed violently, they have not reached the point of slaughter after a few decades.

Chu Yun and the strategist plan did not decide the next way out for a long time, Wang Lian suggested taking refuge in Youzhou Assassin Wang Jun, this person is the same as Wang Lian is a member of the Langya Wang family, although the Eastern Jin Dynasty has not been established, and the pattern of the king and the horse sharing the world has not been formed, but the Langya Wang family is also a first-class family in the world, so there are many people who go to Wang Jun.

But Zhang Tong felt that Chu Yun should go to King Langya, because King Langya was supported by the entire Jiangnan, and he could retreat to Jiangnan at the very least, which should be said to be the safest.

But Chu Yun knew what the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had done, he really went to Jiangnan, and he was the head of a small family with only four grades, and it was estimated that he couldn't even make a wave, and a generation of national heroes Zu Ti had not made any achievements, Chu Yun didn't think that he was more powerful than Zu Ti. His idea is to seek refuge in Liu Kun, this Liu Kun is friends with Zu Ti, not to mention his character, although his position is enemy on all sides, but it is the closest place to Xiliang except Xi'an, Chu Yun covets this place, it is said that the current Liangzhou Thorn History is Zhang Liang. Liangzhou has always been a place to raise horses, the people are fierce, and it has always been a place where separatist forces are rampant, but the disadvantage is that there are few people, but Chu Yun feels that this is not a problem, but the land can avoid the chaos of war and develop with peace of mind, Chu Yun is a person who has seen Tianlong, Chu Yun knows that although the Xianbei tribe is safe now, they will drink horses and go south sooner or later, and even if it is a Shile, Chu Yun does not see the hope of defeat. And with the massacre of the Hu people, there was a continuous inflow of Han people in Xiliang, so it was no longer as sparsely populated as during the Three Kingdoms period, and Chu Yun was very optimistic about this territory.

Chu Yun is not optimistic about the other directions, there is no need to think about the south, sooner or later it will be the world of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Chu Yun thinks that he does not have the strength to usurp the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Southwest Sichuan is not a good place, although it is the country of abundance, but it is difficult for Shu to go to the blue sky, Chu Yun doesn't want to be peaceful, and besides, the Shu people there are very xenophobic, Chu Yun doesn't think that he can subdue them. Qingzhou and other places in the east are still the territory of the Han and Zhao courts, with Shi Le and a person named Wang Mi in charge, while the north is the territory of the Xianbei people, and Guanzhong is the Western Jin Dynasty and the Zhao State are competing with each other, Chu Yun really feels that there is no place more promising than Xiliang in the northwest.

But the people under his command all thought that Xiliang was far away and were unwilling to go, and Chu Yun had no choice, after all, some of his subordinates were already married and even had children, and they really didn't have many horses, and the migration of thousands of people could not be fruitful in a moment, and they had to pass through the territory of the Huns. Chu Yun's subordinates now only have a few dozen horses, which were left by the Shen family, they are all hiding in the dense forest, and there is not much place to use horses, so the Shen family and other families have killed all the horses that were originally raised in captivity to eat meat, and these dozens of horses are still left by luck.

Chu Yun really didn't want to do anything superfluous, he took the two thousand people under his command as his other life and trained carefully, but he also knew that his troops couldn't see blood, so after training for half a year, Chu Yun set his sights on a small town not far from him, called Wanghu Town, which is a small town belonging to Yizhou, but this town has a thousand soldiers and horses stationed, and it is not stationed, these people should have transported horses through here, but they don't know why they stopped.

Chu Yun personally went to investigate, these people were not Hu people, but serious Han people, Chu Yun guessed that they should be traitor troops who surrendered to Shile. It is said that although Shile's Qianren ate the Han people, after Shile got the assistance of the Han Zhang Bin, he began to change his attitude and would not slaughter the Han people so blatantly. The reputation of the Qiang tribe was completely ruined until Shi Le's nephew Shi Hu came to power.

Chu Yun once mentioned to his subordinates a little that he wanted to attack this transport team, but he was opposed by Wang Lian, Zhang Tong and others, although Chu Yun no longer said, he still did not change his mind. Chu Yun didn't expect that the attitude of the scholars towards the Hu people was so scared now, but although the poor people were afraid of the Hu people, they hated them even more.

Chu Yun had already made up his mind, that is, to pretend to go out to train, and then attack Shile's troops by surprise, snatched their horses, and persuaded everyone to leave, because he had offended this piece of Shile, and there was only a dead end to stay here. At that time, they would have to obey Chu Yun's orders, and they could only follow Chu Yun to leave. Shi Le's army fought with the king of Langya in the southeast, so the south could not go, Chu Yun was ready to evacuate in the name of going north to seek refuge in Youzhou Assassin Wang Jun, and then suddenly turned west, went to Jinyang to join Liu Kun, and then saw if he could lead the troops alone, accumulate meritorious achievements and strengthen his strength, and then take advantage of the opportunity for the Huns to attack Jinyang and take people away and go to Xiliang. The thousands of good horses escorted by this army of soldiers and horses were also the reason why Chu Yun made up his mind, and Chu Yun was very short of horses.

Chu Yun transferred all his family members to Wangjiabao in the south, because Chu Yun was afraid that when he sent troops, he would be picked up by the Huns, although this neighbor of theirs was very stable and never came out to cause trouble, but Chu Yun treated people with himself, and he would not allow others to snore on the side of the couch, and he would not let go of this opportunity if he was the leader of the Huns.

Chu Yun ordered Fu Yi to lead two teams of 200 people to guard the lair, and he took 16 teams plus a guard team, a total of more than 2,000 people left the dense forest of Taihang Mountain and rushed towards Wanghu Town. Chu Yun's training was still very effective, and only a few of the more than 2,000 people were left behind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should be very strange why I marched so far this time, and I will tell you that this time I am going to take you to attack the convoy of the Qiang people, and officially fire the first shot of our self-salvation army. After Chu Yun finished speaking, everyone was stunned, hearing that they were going to fight with the Hu people, except for a small part, the rest of the people were not even a little afraid, which was completely unexpected by Chu Yun, it seemed that Chu Yun's prestige was not low, and the blood of the Han people had not disappeared.

Chu Yun didn't bring Wang Lian, Zhang Tong and other scholars, nor did he bring people with a broad vision like Fu Yi, he was afraid that these people would not agree to attack Shile's army, after all, even if their self-help army did not expand outward, they could support it for a year or two with the food of each family, and no one would take risks if they had a good life. It was also Chu Yun's early crossing, as there were fewer and fewer Han people in the back, and more and more defeats in battles against the Hu people, the people at the bottom were also afraid of the Hu people like tigers, and the Han people were not as good as the next generation.

Not to mention the dozens of Hu kingdoms in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even the great unified dynasties of the later generations, the Sui, Tang, Yuan, and Qing dynasties were established by a small number of people of blood, and every time I see these histories, Chu Yun is sad and helpless, but fortunately, the blood of the Han people still exists.

"You and the others are all my Han people, I think that back then, my Han almost exterminated the Huns, and the champion Hou was able to seal the wolf Juxu with hundreds of people, capture and kill countless Huns, and even their single Yu was captured by the Han people. What the sages can do, we can also do, the purpose of my self-help army was originally to save myself, but now I have changed my mind, we not only want to save ourselves, but also to do something big, to kill all the captives who have bullied us, so that anyone who sees me Han people must be afraid. But this goal is not as simple as the Confucianism can be achieved, only iron and blood can make our dreams can be achieved, I will now change the name of the Self-Salvation Army to the Iron and Blood Army, for the glory of the Han people, for our children and grandchildren not to be oppressed, but we only rely on the steel knife in our hands and the blood on our bodies, are you willing to follow me?" Chu Yun roared at his subordinates, he is a man who cherishes his life, but first of all, he is a Han, and the situation of Han pigs and dogs is not as good as that of Han people has completely ignited the blood in Chu Yun's heart.

Guo Yong was the first to shout out the Iron Army, and everyone shouted.

Predator

Predator

Predator

In the end, almost everyone shouted, whether they were really infected by Chu Yun or were intimidated by Chu Yun's prestige, at least in Chu Yun's opinion, this was a good start.
