Chapter Fifty-Seven: The prestige spreads and the world is shocked
Chu Yun did have a better way to fight this battle, but Chu Yun used the stupidest and most direct method, and he was hard-hitting. As a result, half of the more than 3,000 people of the Iron Blood Army died, and only more than 1,600 people remained, all of them were wounded, and they themselves were seriously injured. The four lords of the Iron Blood Army who commanded hundreds of people also died, and only one was left, Chu Yun fought hard, and the others were all crazy. The spirit of the Iron Blood Army has come up, and now they are full of self-confidence, if this self-confidence is not for this big battle, then even if they train for a lifetime, they may not be able to give birth, and this is worth it.
"Brothers, you are all people who were born and died with me Chu Yun, today our big guy defeated the invincible Hun Iron Cavalry together, how is the big guy in his mood?" Chu Yun said loudly, everyone shouted excitedly, Chu Yun was in a better mood.
"Okay, I want to reward you now, you will become the first in the history of my Iron Blooded Army, and it may be the only force named after Iron Blood, you will be called Iron Blood Cavalry in the future, and when I go back, I will officially award you the Iron Blood Battle Banner, I hope you can make persistent efforts to make the name of Iron Blood Cavalry famous in Shenzhou, so that any enemy will be terrified, I, Chu Yun, will personally serve as the commander of Iron Blooded Cavalry, and I will always be with you." Now let's go and enjoy the fruits of our victory, and we will set up for Hanoi! After Chu Yun finished speaking, the momentum of the iron-blooded rider was extremely high.
One of them rode three horses, or even one person and four horses, with the ashes of their comrades and countless captures, they crossed the Yellow River and killed Zhihuai City, the county seat of Hanoi County, when the corpse of the Gongshi Leopard and the banner of the Huns were thrown in front of Zhihuai City, the psychological defense line of Xiongcheng, which was relied on by the Huns, completely collapsed, they opened the city and surrendered, and the Chuyun army entered, and anyone who saw this iron army had no intention of resisting. Chu Yun slaughtered the Huns on a large scale, and recruited a large number of troops, recruiting thousands of people in just a few days. The iron-blooded cavalry scattered out, except for those counties that were too remote, the rest surrendered one after another, and it took half a month, Chu Yun captured as many as 200,000 people and moved to Shangdang County.
At this time, it was already the end of July, and it had been two months since Chu Yun sent troops to Si Lizhou. The battle of Chang'an was in full swing, the small court of Chang'an was defeated again and again, and even the Huns broke through the outer city of Chang'an, and the rebel general Zhao Ran took thousands of people to burn and loot, and then left. The little emperor of Chang'an was so frightened that he couldn't live in fear in the palace. In this case, Chu Yun captured Luoyang and plundered the two counties before it slowly spread.
After more than two months of spreading, only a few soldiers who escaped for their lives came to the territory controlled by the Huns, and the magistrates were shocked when they heard it, and they rushed to Pingyang for 800 miles, so in mid-August, the nearest Xiongnu and Han were the first to receive the news.
The Huns were in an uproar, and the Xiongnu puppet emperor Liu Cong was furious, and under the persuasion of his courtiers, he did not issue an order to withdraw the troops of Chang'an and attack the state. However, in a fit of rage, he still gathered tens of thousands of troops to support Luoyang under the leadership of the crown prince Liu Cang. He also sent the general Yin Kai to command 20,000 troops along the Fenhe Gorge to attack and merge the state, and gave the nominal subordinate Shi Le an order to attack and merge the state from Yizhou.
When Liu Can's army arrived in Luoyang, the time had reached the end of August, three months, enough time for the entire Luoyang County and Hanoi County to be relocated, Liu Cang was furious, he led the army to catch the tail of the Iron Blood Army at Tianjing Pass, but unfortunately Tianjing Pass was built by the Iron Blood Army more majestic. Liu Cang fought with the Iron Blood Army at Tianjing Pass for a month, suffering heavy casualties, but did not break through Tianjing Pass, and their army was short of food, so they had to retreat.
And Yin Kai's army also hit the head in Pingjin Valley, and had no choice but to return to the court, Shi Le was even more yang and yin, he fought with Wang Jun in Youzhou, only sent a partial army to attack and Zhou, and before he arrived in Bingzhou, he met Liu Yan's troops, and withdrew back when he encountered a little resistance, and the Huns' three-way army all failed, which made Liu Cong angry, he was furious, and killed dozens of Jin Dynasty ministers and generals, and everyone in Pingyang City was in danger.
And Chang'an's offensive also changed, the Huns won first and then lost, Liu Yao was arrogant after defeating the Jin Dynasty army many times, after all, the Chang'an army performed too poorly. But he didn't expect that Qu Yun, the leader of the imperial army, had always been proud of the enemy, Liu Yao was defeated by Qu Yun's sneak attack on the enemy, Qiao Zhiming, the captain of Sili, was killed, and Liu Yao had no choice but to withdraw his troops back to Pingyang.
The offensive of the Xiongnu Han State in this year was almost all failed, and with the fame of the iron-blooded army Chu Yun resounded throughout the land of Shenzhou, he became a famous general.
In Chang'an, when Liu Kun's performance was sent to Chang'an, Emperor Sima Ye of the Jin Dynasty and the ministers of the Jin Dynasty heard Chu Yun's name for the first time, and out of their trust in Liu Kun and the pressure given to them by the Huns, they also agreed that Liu Kun gave Chu Yun the position of a general, but they did not recognize Chu Yun as the deputy governor of the state and had the right to open the government.
Moreover, the general of the fourth rank of the conquest has also been replaced by the general of the fifth rank, but the general of the conquest has the right to decide whether to go on the expedition or not, and the general of the conquest is far behind. But in the midst of wooing, Chu Yun's position as the acting county guard of Xihe County was turned into a regular one. So Chu Yun's appointment became the general of Pokou, supervising the military of the state, the county guard of Shangdang County and the county guard of Xihe County, and the lieutenant of the light car.
This is equivalent to greatly shrinking Liu Kun's position to Chu Yun, but after the news of Chu Yun's capture of Luoyang and the breaking of five thousand Hun iron cavalry in October reached Chang'an, the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an were immediately dumbfounded, they did not expect that Chu Yun not only sent troops, but also recovered the old capital Luoyang, although the time was very short, but this was a miracle, and what was even more terrifying was that he was able to defeat the superior Hun iron cavalry with inferior troops, and this combat power was enough for the imperial court to pull in.
But their order has been issued for more than a month, they can't chase it back, they can only make up for it, at the insistence of the little emperor, they immediately sent people to send people to order rewards again, mainly because the little emperor was frightened by the continuous attacks of the Huns, in his opinion, if someone can contain the Huns, then the security of Chang'an will be greatly improved.
So with the support of the emperor, the imperial court awarded Chuyun the deputy governor of the prefecture, the festival, the opening of the mansion, the capital protection and the state, the military of Sili Prefecture, the general of the conquest, the county guard of Shangdang County and the county guard of Xihe County, the township of Wu'an, and the standing attendant of the scattered cavalry, and also made a joke, and named Chuyun's wife as Mrs. Sipin. Liu Kun only said that Chu Yun was the head of the Chu family in Yecheng, and he didn't say how old he was, after all, Liu Kun felt that to tell the truth, Chu Yun's position was suspended, so there was such a big misunderstanding.
And after Liu Kun heard Chu Yun's deeds, he was silent for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking, only that he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Chang'an.
After Shi Le heard Chu Yun's deeds, he was a little disdainful, he really looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Huns, he was the most powerful warrior of the Xiongnu people, he still ordered his subordinates to fight Wang Jun to the death, only his henchman Zhang Bin heard it, his head was lowered, showing hatred, but it flashed. Chu Yun's Iron Blood Army did not cover it up, under Zhang Bin's intentional investigation, how could he not find out that it was the Iron Blood Army who killed his nephew.
And Youzhou Wang Jun is now too busy to take care of himself, except for scolding a few words about Liu Kun's good luck, he can't take care of anything else.
And Sima Rui, the king of Langya, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, heard it even later, and he discussed with several family heads who supported him for a long time before he sent someone to congratulate Chu Yun with a large number of gifts, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
In the first year of Jianxing, in November 313 AD, Chu Yun returned to the eldest son city after half a year of absence, as soon as he returned to the eldest son city, Chu Yun was bedridden, which frightened everyone, Chu Yun worked hard with the male master leopard, the injury has not been good, his left shoulder has a bowl size through injury, and he gritted his teeth for several months to insist, so that his body is really unable to hold on.
Mo Han, Wang Lian and others immediately ordered to block the news of Chu Yun's serious illness, and lavishly rewarded the whole army to calm people's hearts. No one could command his mighty men, and therefore no one dared to plot against him. After Chu Yun was bedridden for a month, Chu Yun woke up, but his body was still weak.
This month has not appeared, the Iron Blood Army has long begun to be suspicious, whether it is the cavalry brigade or the infantry brigade, they all send people to ask about Chu Yun's news three days a day, and some people even rumored that the civilian officials killed Chu Yun, if it weren't for the fact that the news was not verified, no one was allowed to move the army without an order, and Chu Yun's subordinates Wang Lian, Fang Qing and other old people tried their best to appease, the Iron Blood Army would have rebelled a long time ago. Now that Chu Yun has woken up, everyone is relieved, if Chu Yun doesn't wake up again, Shangdang County will definitely be in chaos, and no one can imagine how much damage the out-of-control iron-blooded army will cause.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I fell at this time, nothing happened to Shangdang County, right?" Chu Yun looked at several of his most confidant Wenchen, Mo Han, Wang Lian, Zhang Tong, Fang Qing, Fan Gao, Chu Chenglin, Li Jin, and the rest of the people couldn't enter their circle without Chu Yun's order.
"Dudu, if you don't wake up, we can't hold it anymore, those arrogant soldiers don't listen to us at all, Guo Yong is on our orders to protect you, he protects you every day, and even when his brother asks him, he doesn't reveal any news. Several brigade commanders sent people to ask you every day, and Brigade Commander Fang Dashan even disobeyed the order and returned to the city of the eldest son, he had to see you, he threatened to lead the army back from Gaodu, and suspected that we had harmed you. The rest of the brigades were also unstable. "The good old man Fang Qing spoke, he is a very good person, in order to comfort the brigades, he did not communicate less, but it was okay at first, and the longer Chu Yun disappeared, the more he was wronged when he went, and even Chu Yun's brother-in-law Cui Zhen tied him up, if it wasn't for Cui Zhen's master Zhang Tong to come to the rescue, he didn't know what to do. Even Zhang Tong couldn't suppress Cui Ning, Cui Zhen regarded Chu Yun as a benefactor, and Zhang Tong couldn't tell him clearly, so Cui Ning even doubted Zhang Tong.
Liu Bi was appointed by Chu Yun as the general of Pingjin Valley, he comforted Cui Zhen in the consideration of the overall situation, but was imprisoned by the angry Cui Zhen, and threatened to kill Chu Yun if he didn't see Chu Yun within seven days. Liu Bi's imprisonment annoyed Liu Bi's uncle Liu Hai, and Liu Hai asked Cui Zhen to release Liu Bi, and the two went to meet each other. And Fang Dashan and Zhou Bin are also gathering troops in Jincheng, and the tens of thousands of people stationed in Jincheng may leave the eldest son city at any time.
The eldest son city is also unstable, Feng Chengjia and Huang Kai don't know what happened to Chu Yun, and they don't dare to infiltrate Chu Yun's side, so the supervision department of the two people actually fully monitored all the Wenchen, and everyone has no doubt that the two people really dare to stab them to death secretly, but the supervision department also has secret troops.
There was a lot of pressure inside and outside the Wenchen, they were simply living like a year, seeing Chu Yun wake up, they were more excited than anyone else, they simply doubted that if Chu Yun was really dead, then they would all be buried together. Everyone had seen Chu Yun's control over the Iron Army.
"Bastards, a group of bastards, everyone, they are all rough people, I apologized to you on their behalf, come and call me Guo Shuzi, Zhao Hu, Fang Ai, Niu Gensheng, and Fang Yong who are stationed in the eldest son city, that's how they do things?
"Everyone, don't worry, I will give you an explanation, how are the other aspects?" Chu Yun asked again.
"Governor, we've gained a lot this time. There are as many as 400,000 immigrants from Sili Prefecture, and the population of Shangdang County has exceeded 550,000, which is more than the population of a state. And this year, we encountered a drought, and if it weren't for the fact that the governor had snatched back so much food, we really wouldn't have been able to get by. We discussed it and sent some to Liu Tingshi, and Lord Tingshi asked the adults to have time to go, but you are sick. And the Huns attacked us several times, but we were all beaten back. Now the situation in our Shangdang County is very good. Wang Lian said with a smile, looking in a good mood.
"But there are also a lot of problems, we have very little arable land in Shangdang County, so many people can't be arranged, and the governor hasn't woken up, so we don't dare to recruit troops. We must expand our territory, otherwise there will be plenty of food now, but in the long run, my Shangdang County will be crushed. Mo Han poured cold water, Chu Yun nodded, and confirmed Mo Han's statement.
"Gong Zhang, what about the military?" Chu Yun asked Zhang Tong, he was the county lieutenant in charge of the military.
"Because the governor was injured, we didn't dare to recruit troops on a large scale, but the governor of Sili Prefecture has recruited more than six thousand infantry, and our reserve brigade has also been formed under the training of Fang Yong (the leader of the reserve has been replaced by Niu Gensheng to Fang Yong), this kid is very good, we appointed the reserve as the temporary sixth brigade, but there is no brigade commander, and the people of Sili Prefecture I sent them to the reserve to return from the new furnace, and the reserve brigade now has seven or eight thousand people. Therefore, now we have more than 30,000 regular troops and more than 7,000 reserve troops. We didn't dare to move the cavalry, there were still more than 1,600 iron-blooded cavalry, and the rest were still led by Fang Dashan, Liu Bi, and Guo Shuzi, and they were still those people, but because Liu Bi was imprisoned, Pingjin Valley was in chaos. The cavalry now numbered more than 8,000. However, we have a lot of horses, and the adults brought some back, and Mao Qing is in charge of the horse farm, and has also trained a lot, and now we have more than 24,000 horses, under Zhao Hu's training, the number of our cavalry is missing can be replenished at any time, Zhao Hu is really responsible. In addition, the attacks of the Huns were blocked by us, and although these guys were restless, they did not dare to delay the business. Chu Yun nodded after listening.
"What about the news from outside?" Chu Yun looked at Chu Chenglin, this guy manages all Chu Yun's documents, and he has suffered a lot with Chu Yun in Sili Prefecture, but he also has a lot of credit, Chu Yun let him take care of the news handover with the Supervision Department before he fell into a coma, which is why the two leaders of the Supervision Department couldn't see Chu Yun, and there was a Chu Chenglin in between.
"My lord, Liu Tingshi seems to have regained some of his early shrewdness, he has exhausted everything he has organized an army of up to five thousand, but the situation is not very good, he does not have enough food, grass and equipment, so it is just a group of rabble. However, Liu Tingshi's hard work does not know if it is to guard against our army. After Chu Chenglin finished speaking, he looked at Chu Yun cautiously, the relationship between Chu Yun and Liu Kun was very delicate, no one knew what Chu Yun thought, all Chu Chenglin was so careful.
"Go on. Chu Yun still didn't show any thoughts.
"Liu Yan, the nephew of Liu Tingshi, the Taishou of Weijun, was defeated by Shi Le, last year Liu Yan took advantage of Shi Le's inattention to recapture Yecheng, but in April this year, Shi Le sent his nephew Shi Hu to attack Yecheng, Yecheng was defeated, Liu Yan fled to Liqiu, and all the displaced people of Santai surrendered to Shile. Shi Le's strength has increased greatly, by the way, this Shi Hu is still Shi Le who was returned to Lord Liu Kun, but he didn't expect Shi Hu to give Lord Liu Kun's nephew a surprise in a blink of an eye. Chu Chenglin said with a smile.
"Oh, what's going on, tell me. Chu Yun became interested, and Chu Chenglin said, it turned out that at the beginning of this year, Liu Kun found Shi Le's mother and nephew Shi Hu in Bingzhou, and Liu Kun wanted to win over Shi Le to return to the imperial court, so he returned Shi Le's mother and nephew Shi Hu to Shi Le. But Shi Le did not agree to Liu Kun, but only sent someone to send some finances, and Liu Kun relied on these finances to develop an army of 5,000 troops.
"Bastard, why didn't you tell me about such a big matter first?When did the Supervision Department get the news?That's how you did things for me?" No one knew why Chu Yun had lost his temper so much. Chu Yun admires Ran Zhuo, the king of martial arts, how could he not know that Shi Hu is Ran Zhuo's godfather, very powerful, Chu Yun really didn't expect that this Shi Hu was actually given to Shi Le by Liu Kun, he already knew that he would definitely send someone to kill Shi Hu halfway, this Shi Hu has just returned for a year, and he has become a powerful general, this is a genius, no one in this group of people knows how much damage Shi Hu has caused to the Han nation, and it is no wonder that Chu Yun is so angry.
"Alright, keep talking to me. Chu Yun couldn't blame them, after all, none of them knew that Shi Hu would be so powerful in the future as much as he did.
After Shi Le defeated Lord Liu Yan, he went east to Qingzhou and killed Li Yun, the leader of the beggar army and the assassin of Qingzhou. Wang Jun sent his subordinate Zao Song to lead the troops to camp in Yishui, and summoned Duan Jilu, the leader of the Xianbei clan of the Duan clan, and wanted to attack Shile with him, but Duan Jilu did not come. Wang Jun was angry, bribed Tuoba Yilu with a lot of money, and sent a message to Murong and others, wanting to jointly crusade against Duan Ji and Lu's family. Wang Jun completely turned his face with Duan's Xianbei, and now Duan's Xianbei has united with Shile. In May, Shi Le sent Kong Chang to attack Dingling and killed Tian Hui. Bo Sheng, who was appointed by Wang Jun as the assassin of Qingzhou, led his army to surrender to Shile, and the counties east of Kunshan were successively occupied by Shile. Even the Wuhuan people rebelled against Wang Jun and secretly attached themselves to Shile. Now Shile has basically occupied Yizhou and Qingzhou, and Liu Cong, the lord of the Han Dynasty, appointed Shile as the general of Shizhong and Zhengdong. After Chu Chenglin finished speaking, Chu Yun secretly scolded Wang Jun for being stupid, and then continued to ask.
"The imperial court has sent a messenger, and he is still in the city of the eldest son, appointing the lord as him. Chu Chenglin glanced at Chu Yun and didn't speak until Chu Yun urged.
"Appoint your lord as the general of Pokou, supervise the military of the state, the county guard of Shangdang County and the county guard of Xihe County, and the lieutenant of the light car. After Chu Chenglin whispered, Chu Yun laughed directly.
"Is this when I'm begging?," Chu Yun said sharply.
