Outside Lin County, the 30,000 troops of Qianghu surrounded Lin County, not that they wanted to fight hard, after all, although they obeyed the orders of the Zhang family in Liangzhou, they also had to survive, and the materials that the Zhang family gave them were far from enough for them to develop and grow. The people of the Qi nationality saw that the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, and Di respectively established kingdoms and became kings and hegemons, and they were also very envious. Why do you eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and we are not as good as Wang Xiaoer for the New Year?

But their purpose of coming to Xihe County to strengthen themselves was shattered by Liu Bi and Zhang Tong themselves, Xihe County has experienced several major wars, and even the county soldiers have rich combat experience. And there has always been a detailed activity of the Supervision Department in Shangjun, although Qianghu acted quickly, but Xihe County also had a defense, Zhang Tong cleared the wall of Xihe County, and did not leave a little material for Qianghu to grab, and Liu Bi had already taken people to garrison Lin County for a generation, the city wall of Lin County was as high as the city wall of Zhongyang City, six meters, and the Qiang cavalry did not have wings, nor did they have siege equipment, they only looked at the city wall in a daze.

If it weren't for the fact that they didn't grab something, they were very unwilling, and because Liu Bi received Chu Yun's order, they couldn't scare these guys by surprise, and Liu Bi would be able to repel them by relying on the troops in his hands.

Several Qianghu big tribal leaders tried everything they could, built some rudimentary ladders to attack the city, every time Lin County seemed to be in danger, but every time it was a little close, which made them even more unstoppable.

After they sent some small groups of cavalry deep into Xihe County and were wiped out by the cavalry of the Iron Army, they united their forces in one place, preparing to take the "precarious" Lin County, but they had been attacking for more than ten days, and Lin County was still not defeated.

Although Qianghu are Hu people, they are not fools, and there are smart people among them who see that something is wrong, but the leaders of those big tribes refuse to retreat, after all, they have almost taken out all their family resources. Therefore, although many of the tribes left, there were still about 24,000 Qiang left.

On the twenty-second day of Qianghu's attack on Lin County, Liu Bi, who was personally commanding in Lin County, finally got Chu Yun's order to start shooting, throwing crossbows, bows and arrows, and fierce fire oil out without money, and the Qianghu army died thousands of people in just one morning, which is more than the people who died in the previous 20 days, in the first 20 days, they also died more than 1,000 people, and now they have died more than 4,000 people in the morning, and they are completely afraid.

Just when the Qiang wanted to retreat, it was too late. More than 6,000 people from the 4th Cavalry Division led by Zuo Song and the 1st Cavalry Division led by Huang Cun completely cut off their rear routes, and when Chu Yun led more than 18,000 people from the Iron Blood Division, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade to attack the Qiang people from the front, the result was already doomed.

The Qiang cavalry without unified command was defeated in a battle, and the cavalry of the iron-blooded army did not die to kill the Qiang people, if it weren't for Chu Yun's need for a part of the Qiang people to be the leading party, more than 20,000 Qiang cavalry were likely to be killed, and after the end of the war, except for the more than 2,000 people who fled and more than 5,000 people who were captured, most of the rest became the battle exploits of the iron-blooded army, and the losses of the iron-blooded army were almost negligible.

Three days later, Chu Yun led the newly recovered cavalry brigade of the first brigade of the Qiang nationality into the territory of the Qiang people west of the Yellow River and east of the Wuding River.

The land in this area sandwiched by two rivers is fertile, and Chu Yun has been greedy for a long time, Chu Yun forcibly relocated more than 20,000 Qiang men and women who surrendered to Xihe County, and disrupted them and scattered the tribes to various places. and ordered that all Qiang people must use Han surnames, speak Sinicization, and wear Han clothes, which caused a fierce resistance from the Qiang people, Chu Yun is an absolute emperor Hanist, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the Qiang people. After killing thousands and enslaving thousands, the Qiang were forced to submit.

The Chinese are called the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the Qiang and Han are brother peoples, both of whom have some Yellow Emperor tribal blood. The Qiang people respectfully call King Wu of Zhou the great hero of destroying the Shang and restoring the Qiang, and King Wu of Zhou is a direct descendant of the surname of the Yellow Emperor Ji, so it is correct that the Qiang are the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Dayu is also a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor, it can be said that the Han and Qiang are of the same origin, and the Qiang are also the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

If it weren't for this reason, Chu Yun would definitely exterminate the Qiang people, just like the Huns, the Huns caught by Chu Yun basically did not end well, although some people said that the Huns were Xia people, but the age was too far away, and Chu Yun didn't care. The construction of Shangdang County and Xihe County was attributed to the Xiongnu prisoners of war that Chu Yun had captured from the battlefield.

In the process of Chu Yun's army's attack, the Qiang tribes west of the Wuding River were all shocked, and under the threat of the Iron and Blood Army, they abandoned their disputes and joined forces to form a large army of up to 60,000 people. Chu Yun took more than 30,000 people and two Qiang cavalry brigades to fight with them for a few battles, but no one could stand anyone, and the iron-blooded army could only slowly withdraw its troops. The Qiang people have been entangled with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and they have a deep understanding of cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry are desperate, even Chu Yun has no good way

Chu Yun was ready to build a new fortress in the newly occupied territory, Chu Yun mobilized tens of thousands of Qianghu and Xiongnu prisoners of war, and established a victory fort at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Wuding River.

Chu Yun ordered Fang Yong, the commander of the Eighth Iron Division, to lead 15,000 people from the 1st Brigade, 6th Brigade, and 7th Brigade to defend the Qiang along the Wuding River, and when Fort Victory was built, Chu Yun would continue to attack Shangjun.

Chu Yun personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to be stationed here for more than a month, and Chu Yun was still very cautious about the Qiang people's desperate efforts. On the one hand, he sent the Supervision Department to collect intelligence on a large scale, and on the other hand, he sent the Qiang people who had surrendered to him to win over some Qiang tribes and split the Qiang alliance.

After waiting for the construction of the city wall of Fort Victory to be basically completed, Chu Yun slowly retreated with the cavalry, and Chu Yun found several talents among the Qiang people, these people are first of all loyal, they have a deep identification with the Han people, Chu Yun personally gave the Qiang people five surnames: Chu, Jiang, Ji, Qiang, Hu, among which the surname Chu is to commend those who have made great contributions to the iron-blooded army, after all, Chu Yun's surname is Chu, and the surname Chu has also become a first-class nobleman among the Qiang people. In addition, the surnames Jiang and Ji are inherited from the Yellow Emperor, in order to appease the original nobles in the Qiang tribe, but as they are ruled by the Iron Army, these original nobles have also lost their original glory, and if they want to rise again, they need to work hard for the Iron Army. The surnames Qiang and Hu are the most common surnames of the Qiang people. In the following thousands of years, Chu, Jiang, Ji, and Qianghu became the gathering place of the five major surnames of Xihe County, and spread to the whole country. But at that time, they all called themselves Han Chinese, and they simply merged with the Han people.

Chu Yun appointed Chu Guiyi and Chu Guixin as the brigade commanders of the Qiang First Brigade and the Qiang Second Brigade respectively, both of whom were excavated by Chu Yun from the captives, from the perspective of the Qiang people, the two people are standard Qiang traitors, but from Chu Yun's point of view, both of them are good comrades. They were originally civilians in the Qiang tribe, but now they have become generals under Chu Yun, how could they follow Chu Yun without giving up.

With the arrival of July, Chu Yun must return to Shangdang County, because the day of Chu Yun's eldest relatives is coming, although it is a concubine, but it is also a rare event for the Iron and Blood Army, but Chu Yun, the groom, does not know who the rest of the two concubines except Cui Ning is, and it is funny enough.

Cao Miao returned to Chang'an after a long journey with gifts and recitals for the emperor. Suo Lin and a few other important ministers called over as soon as possible, Cao Miao had been subdued by Chu Yun, so he followed Chu Yun's meaning, and constantly helped Chu Yun to complain to the emperor and several important ministers, and also said Chu Yun's loyalty to Chu Yun when he heard the order of the imperial court as soon as he organized a small number of troops to prepare to attack the Xiongnu, the little emperor was very moved when he listened, of course, it was also related to the heavy gift that Chu Yun gave him, the little emperor is now the time when he likes to show off his favorite in his teens, but he is facing the pressure of the Huns and the increasingly empty treasury, and he is living a very hard time, Chu Yun has paid a lot of tribute from all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, which can enter the royal treasury, how could the little emperor be unhappy.

But hearing Cao Miao's words, several old foxes would not simply believe it. Cao Miao told everyone that the Iron Blood Army did have an army of 90,000, which was similar to what Liu Kun reported, but except for the more than 20,000 people who followed Chu Yun at the earliest, the rest were a rabble, and in the face of the attack of the Huns, the Iron Blood Army suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only more than 30,000 people left.

Cao Miao told them that if it weren't for the Iron Blood Army to snatch back a lot of people from Sili Prefecture and Yizhou and immediately expand its forces, the Iron Blood Army would not be able to hold on. But even so, Chu Yun, the county guard of Shangdang County, still obeyed the orders of the imperial court and gathered more than 10,000 cavalry to prepare to attack Pingyang, even if he ran out, he didn't care.

But it is a pity that on the eve of the attack, Shangjun Qianghu, which was controlled by the Huns, gathered an army of 100,000 people into Kouxihe County, Xihe County was in a mess, and Chu Yun could only temporarily stop the plan to attack the Xiongnu and lead people to fight against Qianghu.

This is in line with what the imperial court heard, when Ju Yun heard that Qianghu had assembled an army, he was startled, but he didn't expect that it was an iron-blooded army.

"Your Majesty, Wu'an Hou Chuyun asked me to tell Your Majesty that when he repels the Qianghu army, he will definitely carry out the orders of the imperial court. Cao Miao finished all the words Chu Yun commanded, and then retreated.

After reading Chu Yun's recital, Sima Ye was full of good feelings towards Chu Yun, but the court was not up to him, Ju Yun and the others all thought about Cao Miao's description. They called all the rest of the envoys over, and everyone was fed by the Iron Blood Army, Chu Yun was worried that the imperial court would continue to stare at him, so how to cry and be poor, and several people had to come to the conclusion that the strength of the Iron Blood Army was not as strong as they thought.

It just so happened that at this time, the Xiongnu army began to attack Chang'an again, and in desperation, they went to work to resist the Xiongnu army, and the matter of the iron-blooded army was temporarily put behind them. The leader of the Xiongnu army is still Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan, this time the Huns gathered 150,000 troops and soldiers divided into two routes, one route was led by Liu Yao himself, and the troops were sent to Chang'an. One route was led by Hu Yanmo, the general of the Xiongnu Zhendong, and sent Beidi County. For a time, the war in the land of Yongzhou was rekindled, and it has to be said that the military strength of the Huns is indeed the first in the world, and of course they are also known to be on the downhill road. This is also the reason why the Huns were in a hurry to break through Chang'an, they wanted to show the world their fangs and suppress other forces, such as Shile.

Chu Yun returned to Shangdang County with the Iron Blood, and there were still a few days before his wedding, and the entire eldest son city was already full of lights. There are more than 200,000 people living in the eldest son city now, and it is very lively, and the long-term propaganda of the internal government of the Supervision Department, Chu Yun is basically the god in the hearts of the people of Shangdang County, plus Chu Yun really makes their lives better and better, so along the way, Chu Yun's frame is full of people kneeling and congratulating, which makes Chu Yun feel very good.

However, Shangdang County is not a place of hegemony after all, and the excessively closed environment makes everyone here a little rich and safe, Chu Yun has already made a decision, once Shangjun is conquered, Chu Yun will move the governance office to Lishi City. Xihe County and Shangjun are the foundation of development, and the lack of population in the two places requires a large number of immigrants, this matter has always been operating, and when the people of Shangdang County are transferred to Xihe County, the Iron Army will usher in further development.

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Chu Yun immediately went to see Su Jin, who was afraid that Su Jin would be dissatisfied because he didn't marry her first. But Su Jin was not in the Governor's Mansion at all. Chu Yun asked a few maids and learned that she had been removed. Since he allowed her to go out to play, Su Jin basically went out three or four times a day.

"It's really childish. Chu Yun smiled.

Chu Yun was originally going to call Mo Han and the others to discuss the matter, but he was not worried about what danger Su Jin would encounter in Lishi City, in his own lair, the possibility of his woman being in distress was basically zero. All outsiders who enter Shangdang County will be strictly investigated.

"The governor, Mo Junshou and a few adults are not in the mansion, they are either busy with the governor's marriage, or they are going out on business. Soon Mao Yu came back, and Chu Yun was also happy, so he wanted to go out for a walk, after all, Chu Yun had never been to the Eldest Son City to play once except for dealing with political affairs.

Chu Yun changed his clothes and took Mao Yu out of the Governor's Mansion, Chu Yun's current strength is not worried about danger at all, the eldest son city is indeed good, along the way, most of the residents of the eldest son city have happy smiles on their faces, their lives can be imagined, it must be good.

And there are fast patrols on the main streets, usually don't talk about big and important cases, even petty theft is almost non-existent, Chu Yun and Mao Yu are eating with a sugar gourd, and they don't have the appearance of a governor who controls millions of people.

People in this era really don't have much entertainment, even if it's a few snacks on the street, Chu Yun is not interested after shopping for a while, it is better to go back to meditation and practice.

"Governor, there's fun ahead. Mao Yu suddenly walked over and whispered.

"Oh?" Chu Yun really saw a lot of people gathered in front of him.

"Dudu, they go to see the Keju tournament, and there are also casinos to sit in the bank, which can be watched and winning, and I usually go to play two hands. Chu Yun nodded when he heard Mao Yu's explanation, Keju is the predecessor of football, Chu Yun has never seen anyone play it, and he just happened to have a long experience in the past.

Mao Yu pushed away the crowd and helped Chu Yun squeeze in, of course, there were distinguished guests in the Keju Field, but Chu Yun just came to have fun and didn't think about identifying himself. Of course, the people who were squeezed away were not happy, but they didn't dare to get angry when they saw the knife on Mao Yu's waist. Chu Yun improved the straight knife according to the ring head knife of the Han Dynasty and combined with the Tang knife of later generations. Chu Yun named this kind of knife the Blood Blade, which can only be worn by people who are above the rank of captain of the Iron Blood Army or who have made great contributions to the Iron Blood Army, symbolizing supreme honor.

Chu Yun walked in, and before he had time to watch the game, he saw Su Jin surrounded by several young men at a glance, and Chu Yun's eyebrows jumped slightly, which made Mao Yu startled. He has followed Chu Yun for a short time, and he knows Chu Yun's character very well. He followed Chu Yun's gaze and saw Su Jin, after Chu Yun retrieved Su Jin from Rujing's hands, he would have made the entire Ru family worse than dead, if it weren't for Su Jin's face, their family would have been ruined.

Mao Yu didn't want to mention how much he regretted it, Su Jin's matter was a taboo. Chu Yun, who is usually very generous, almost killed a family for Su Jin, which made everyone silent. Except for those important ministers, few people knew Su Jin's identity, and Chu Yun obviously didn't like others to talk about Su Jin. Moreover, after Chu Yun found Su Jin, he had always protected him in the Governor's Mansion, and almost no one knew Su Jin's identity.

But what did he see now? He saw several men pestering Su Jin, and Su Jin's face was full of impatience, and these men were still unrelenting. Mao Yu also knew these people, including three sons of the county order, as well as the people of the Shangdang county lord Bo Lu Wanglu's family, and the other two were even more amazing, one was the descendant of the Fang Qing Fang family, and the other was the descendant of the Lin family of Xihe County. Mao Yu was a little silent in his heart for them, do you know that this is the future wife of the governor?

Just when Chu Yun was about to walk over, Su Jin looked finally angry, she stood up and wanted to leave with a few maids, but a few second ancestors who didn't know whether they were alive or dead actually stopped Su Jin reluctantly, Chu Yun's face was gloomy as water.

"Miss, if you don't tell us your name, we won't let you go, do you know who our father is? Let me tell you, our Fang family can make Shangdang County tremble by stomping their feet in Shangdang County. I've been so kind these days, and you won't even tell us your name. Let me tell you, I'm impatient today. In fact, judging by your dress, you should also be a person with status, you tell me your name, I will go to your house to ask for a relative, maybe my father can still say a few good words for your family in front of the old man of the governor. The young man of the Fang family had a playful face, and the other four people also laughed, obviously they had bad intentions.

"What are you doing? Su Jin was obviously panicked, and several maids were even more frightened by the family members behind several people who were speechless.

"Since you don't know the taste, don't blame us for being polite. The son of the Fang family, who spoke just now, actually wanted to pull Su Jin with his hands, and Chu Yun was completely angry.

Bang, a bamboo stick came from afar, and it was inserted on the person's outstretched hand impartially, and the person was stunned. Because the speed was too fast, he didn't feel any pain, and when he finally saw that he was still carrying a bamboo stick with a sugar gourd, he sat down on the ground and shouted.

"Come back with me. Chu Yun walked out, Su Jin ran over as if he had seen a relative, Chu Yun took Su Jin and turned around and wanted to leave, and several people's family members saw that the master was injured, and they were furious and surrounded Chu Yun and several people.

Chu Yun laughed angrily when he saw this scene, he didn't expect that there would be such a bloody thing in his territory, and Chu Yun was even more angry.

"Abolish them for me. Chu Yun turned his head and said to Mao Yu, Mao Yu has been greatly strengthened by Chu Yun's internal force to wash the essence and guide him carefully, how can these twenty or thirty family members be his opponents, soon these family members will not be able to get up, Mao Yu is extremely ruthless, these people are either broken hands or broken legs, obviously they are all seriously injured.

"Son, who are you, my father will not let you go. Several sons and brothers were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, but in the spirit of the death style of the excellent second ancestor, they still said cruel words.

Chu Yun didn't even look back, only Mao Yu remained, he raised the blood blade in his hand and said, "I am Mao Yu, the commander of the First Brigade of the Iron Blood Division, I advise you to go back and tell your elders immediately." After Mao Yu finished speaking, he left, leaving only a few bloodless Second Ancestors.
