Chapter 30: The Strength of the Iron Castle
When Liu Ding wanted to say something again, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, he was still very strange, why did he want to sleep so much, Liu Ding fell to the ground in the shocked eyes of everyone. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself in a dimly lit room, surrounded by a dozen of his guards.
"Woooooooo He wanted to open his mouth to call out to his guards, only to find that his mouth was tightly gagged, Liu Ding turned his neck and looked around, except for Mo Han, the rest of the people were tied up together, and he actually found Liu Laomo who was waiting for news outside. Although he hasn't experienced much, he is not stupid, he knows that this time he planted it, and he didn't even go out to report the news, even if his father didn't have to save himself, after all, no one informed his father.
Liu Ding felt that his body began to itch, he remembered that he was bitten by a bee, he was more and more itchy, and couldn't help but struggle violently, he rubbed his body against the pillar that helped him, and accidentally broke a few poisonous bubbles on his body that were stung by poisonous bees, this time it was not so itchy, Liu Ding breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that the broken place hurt, and the itch and pain made Liu Ding faint again.
Compared with Liu Ding, the unlucky guy, Mo Han's luck is much better, they were arrested by the people of the Iron Army, and when they meet those homeless people, the Iron Blood Army will of course be kind enough to recruit them. But they weren't outcasts, so they took them as enemies.
However, Mo Han was lucky, the people of the Iron Blood Army actually found the note left by Chu Yun on Mo Han's body, and the sergeants of the Iron Blood Army were all taught by Chu Yun to read and write, so some of them recognized Chu Yun's handwriting. The deputy lieutenant stationed in Shenjiabao imprisoned a few people, and then sent people to the Iron Blood Fort to report to Chu Yun, and Mo Han was locked up in a room alone because of Chu Yun's note.
"Who are you? Are you from the Iron Army? Mo Han, who is engaged in the Assassin Mansion in Xia Bingzhou, is here to find Brother Chu Yun. Please give me a shout-out. Mo Han yelled at the people outside, he was not tied up, but unfortunately the guards had already been ordered not to talk to him, Mo Han's throat was dry, no one cared about him, and he could only look outside by the window.
This look can see the doorway, although Shenjiabao is not the main base of the iron-blooded army, but there is still half a team of iron-blooded troops stationed, they are responsible for inspecting the surroundings and looking at the grain planted in Shenjiabao, Chu Yun demolished the houses in these places, and planted the grain, and now it is about to mature, so Chu Yun cares very much.
There were more than a hundred people in half a team, although some of them were patrolling outside, but there were still dozens of people left, and these people were either practicing calligraphy and learning knowledge, or they were practicing the queue that Chu Yun handed over to them. Because of the abundant food, almost everyone here is in good health, especially those Wuhuan and Huns, who are even more wild. In Mo Han's heart, these people were the best soldiers, and he suddenly had some doubts in his heart, could it be that these people were all Chu Yun's soldiers?
When Chu Yun received the news of the people stationed in Shenjiabao, Chu Yun was a little confused, he didn't know how this Mo Han found here. At this time, Chu Yun was convening a meeting of the people above the lieutenant under his command to study and occupy Zhao Guojun, first of all, they love them the most, of course, Changshan is also very close to them, but Changshan has a county guard and Liu Kun, who is there and the assassin of Bingzhou, they are attacking Changshan, it is no different from a rebellion.
Zhao is different, the area of Zhao is not large, only one-third the size of Changshan. Moreover, in the war in the past few years, it was seriously damaged, and even the county seat was broken, so the Zhao State did not have a county guard, so even if Chu Yun occupied the Zhao State, it would not be regarded as tearing his face with the imperial court.
Of course, Chu Yun is not only interested in Zhao Guo for this reason, because Liu Kun came to Changshan County, and Wang Jun, who was not dealing with Liu Kun, also moved his attention to Yizhou, and all the counties of Yizhou turned to Wang Jun, which completely hindered Chu Yun's expansion in other directions. Chu Yun didn't want to face Wang Jun, the emperor of Youzhou. Speaking of this, Wang Jun is also very interesting, Yizhou is such a fertile territory, he even ignored it, but because of Liu Kun's arrival, he came to intervene, Wang Jun's strategic vision is childish and outrageous.
This Liu Kun and Wang Jun originally had a very close relationship, Liu Kun's parents were captured during the Eight Kings Rebellion, or Wang Jun lent 800 cavalry, so that he could save his parents and become famous in a war. And after Liu Kun became the assassin of Bingzhou, Liu Kun also closely followed Wang Jun's steps and became Wang Jun's younger brother, and the relationship between the two also entered the honeymoon period. But Wang Jun doesn't know if his head is pumping, he is not satisfied with his status as the emperor of the soil, he actually wants to really become the emperor, you can just say that you are quite an emperor, after all, after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted out that the prince and general Xiangning have a kind of care, there are many people who want to be emperors, and you are not one worse.
But you should take it easy, bury yourself in developing your strength, and wait until your strength is strong enough, even if you are called the Jade Emperor, no one will dare to care about you, but Wang Jun is not. He was not patient to develop his own strength and territory, and second, he did not win over his natural ally Liu Kun, but instead attracted a large group of scholars to tout, and made his ambition to be the emperor into Sima Zhao's heart, which was well known to passers-by.
In fact, this Wang Jun is not completely inactive, and even did better than Liu Kun in the early stage. During the Eight Kings Rebellion, the royal family of the Jin Dynasty led the Hu people into the Central Plains to help in the war, and Wang Jun saw that the Xianbei cavalry was sharp like a blade coming and going like the wind, and planned to use their strength to strengthen himself. He married one daughter to Yuwen Suyan of the Ubun Department, and the other daughter to Duan Wu Bechen, the lord of the Duan Department. In order to better win over the Duan Department, Wang Jun also asked the imperial court to seal Duan Buchen as the Duke of Liaoxi. This method is the same as Liu Kun, Duan Wu Bechen is also willing to be his eagle dog.
When the civil war of the royal family was about to end, Wang Jun summoned Duan's son-in-law and led 20,000 cavalry to attack the ancient capital of the famous city in the Central Plains. The Xianbei knights broke Yecheng and Chang'an. Wang Jun was at both ends of the rat, vainly trying to rebel and not daring to occupy the emperor's Guanhe. On the way back to the army, he saw that the soldiers of the Duan Department had robbed a lot of Han beauties, and he was afraid that there would be a mistake in the war, and secondly, he felt too embarrassed, so he ordered "those who are hijacked will be beheaded". The Xianbei people then pushed all the more than 8,000 Han women they had stolen into Yishui and drowned. The tragedy of Wuhu poisoning the Central Plains has become more and more intense since then. It can be said that Wang Jun set off a wave of large-scale massacres of Han Chinese by the Hu people.
The Jin dynasty was in decline and fought hard with the Huns, and Wang Jun was inevitably carried away because he was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight. After the fall of Luoyang, Wang Jun found a "crown prince" out of nowhere and announced the establishment of a provisional central government in Youzhou, taking a step closer to the throne. If Wang Jun is really a figure like Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of Wei, he was born in troubled times and just recruited the world's best men to do his career, but he was narrow and had no tolerance for others, and often killed his staff indiscriminately because of his likes and dislikes, and he always calculated on some false names.
Just like this time, he had already occupied Yizhou, so he could get the human and financial resources of Yizhou, but Yizhou was shattered by many wars. And it was because Liu Kun interfered in Yizhou, in order to block the disobedient Liu Kun, that he sent people to accept some counties in Yizhou, which is simply a petty family.
However, it was this petty Wang Jun who made a casual move that made Chu Yun's plans come to naught, if it weren't for Wang Jun's just to make trouble, he didn't take Yizhou to heart at all. Chu Yun didn't even dare to plan for Zhao Guo. But at this time, Mo Han suddenly came to visit, Chu Yun didn't know what was going on, and he finally decided to meet Mo Han.
"The prince, the prince of Zhang, and the father of the house accompanied me to meet that Mo Han. Chu Yun took his three strategists to Shenjiabao, dozens of miles away, because the three strategists were literati, so Chu Yun was not in a hurry, and Chu Yun arrived three days later. Chu Yun didn't know that Mo Han had gone crazy in the past few days, and letting a person have nothing to do without talking for several days was even more torturous than torture.
When Chu Yun saw Mo Han, Mo Han's tears flowed down, Chu Yun was a little confused, this Mo Han is not enough, Mo Han is easy to see the person who talks to him, so he grabbed Chu Yun like a relative, and said everything he could say.
Mo Han was comfortable, but Chu Yun was shocked. It turned out that he was sent to invite himself, and Liu Kun also felt that he had obtained the treasure of King Zhao, and the treasure of King Zhao did exist, because Fu Yi told himself, but he could cheapen others for nothing? Besides, even if he gave the treasure to Liu Kun and sold his favor, it is difficult to say whether Liu Kun can survive this hurdle now, after all, it takes time for treasure to be transformed into strength. If you survive, then the other party may still be grateful to yourself and let yourself get some benefits, but if you can't survive, you can't just make a bamboo basket for water. Chu Yun clearly remembered that except for the martial mourning heavenly king in the north, none of the rest of the Han forces were successful.
But no matter how Chu Yun chooses, let's go and release Liu Kun's son Liu Ding first.
"What are you talking about? Liu Gongzi was bitten by a poisonous bee, and he is not well yet?" Chu Yun saw Liu Ding, who had been unconscious, his face was very bad, Liu Ding died here, then he would offend Liu Kun, he had known these poisonous bees in the dense forest for a few years.
"Go find the nests of those poisonous bees, and then smear Liu Gongzi with royal jelly, and if you can't find it, don't come back. Chu Yun said to the deputy lieutenant stationed in Shenjiabao, of course, he was pretending to show Mo Han and the others, but one thing descends one thing, and the royal jelly of those poisonous bees can really cure bee venom.
"Brother Chu, I don't know if Ling Zun can visit, why do I want to meet the elders when I came here rashly. "Royal jelly is really useful, after smearing it on Liu Ding, Liu Ding is much better, Mo Han is also relieved, he finally has the kung fu to complete the order of Lord Shi.
"Brother Mo, to tell you the truth, my father was killed by the Hu people two years ago, and it is precisely because of this that I established the Iron Blood Castle, wanting to kill all the Hu people to avenge my father. Chu Yun said with a sad face, but Mo Han's heart turned up a monstrous wave, so didn't the Iron Blood Castle be established by Chu Yun?
Sending Mo Han, who was still a little chaotic, back to the room, Chu Yun immediately gathered a few of his subordinates to study the way out of the Iron Blood Castle.
Wang Lian is not determined to find his own brother now, he and Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, are really related, but one is a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the other is a side descendant of the Langya Wang family, and the Langya Wang family is separated from the Taiyuan Wang family. Of course, now the Langya royal family has overwhelmed the name of the Taiyuan royal family, but in later generations, the Taiyuan royal family, one of the seven surnames and five hopes of the Tang Dynasty, is not comparable to the Langya royal family. Now Wang Jun's ambition to be the emperor is clearly revealed, even Wang Lian is not optimistic about Wang Jun's prospects, so he does not encourage Chu Yun to go to Youzhou, so Wang Lian, the nominal first strategist under Chu Yun, has no serious attention.
And Fang Qing has no ideas, although this person is simple and diligent, but he is obviously not a resourceful person.
Asked Zhang Tong again, Zhang Tong also expressed his opinion with some reservations, and he knew Chu Yun's thoughts, because he was now the first strategist under Chu Yun, and Chu Yun would go to him to discuss if he had something. Therefore, Chu Yun originally wanted to submit to Liu Kun and take the opportunity to occupy the first plan of Liangzhou. Or Chu Yun later had to occupy Yizhou in order to plan the second plan of the world, he knew it.
However, Zhang Tong is okay to do specific things, but he is worse in terms of strategy, but he doesn't want Chu Yun to look down on himself, so he opened his mouth and said a way that is not a way, and he woke Chu Yun up all of a sudden: "Dudu, since you think Liu Kun's prospects are worrying, but after all, he is not down now, he is still very prestigious in the Great Jin Dynasty, why not take refuge temporarily, in order to get Liu Kun's recommendation, for example, to serve as the county guard of Zhao State, if he can still save the day, it is not abrupt for us to continue to take refuge." If not, at least you can occupy a place in your name, which will be good for you and the Predators. ”
After listening to Zhang Tong's words, Chu Yun's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he expect it, now the small court of the Jin Dynasty in Chang'an is in danger, and the more people who are loyal to the court like themselves and have strength, the happier they are. I have 3,000 cavalry, you must know that Liu Kun relied on 800 cavalry to break into a great reputation, 3,000 cavalry is a lot of force, Xianbei people broke through Chang'an, that is, 20,000 cavalry. Of course, it is far worse than the big forces, but as long as he shows loyalty and ability, the court will definitely accept him. This made Chu Yun have a higher opinion of his positioning, after all, Chu Yun was in the Xianwu Continent, and the army was often hundreds of thousands and millions, and he had always felt that his strength was weak, but now that he thought about it, the two worlds were not the same at all.
Of course, if Liu Kun recommends, he can be recognized by the imperial court faster and more certainly. Moreover, Liu Kun is deeply trusted by the imperial court, even if Liu Kun loses his official position, he can help himself in the future. So Chu Yun immediately made up his mind to submit to Liu Kun on a limited basis, but before that, he also had to let Liu Kun know that he was strong, and he couldn't let Liu Kun get what he wanted so quickly.
After Liu Ding was a little better, Chu Yun made an excuse to go back to his main fort, so that he could take better care of Liu Ding, Mo Han also wanted to see Chu Yun's strength, so he agreed.
"Please. When Mo Han and the others arrived at the Iron Blood Castle, Mo Han was stupid, thousands of Iron Blood soldiers stood densely outside the village to welcome the arrival of a group of people, although these soldiers have Han people and obvious Hu people, but without exception, these people are all strong, and a large part of them are with evil spirits, obviously they have seen blood. These people look even more powerful than the Bingzhou Army, Mo Han said in his heart that he was right, this time he really came to the right place.
Mo Han couldn't believe how Chu Yun, who looked smaller than himself, could control so many thugs. All the sergeants actually knelt on one knee and saluted Chu Yun, this kind of scene was enough to shake Mo Han, such a literati. Of course, if Mo Han knew that Chu Yun was only nineteen this year, he would be even more shocked.
"Get up. Chu Yun said in a deep voice, and thousands of people all stood up neatly like robots that had been trained many times. When Mo Han entered the Iron Blood Castle, he was even more numb with shock, and thousands of war horses appeared in front of them.
Everyone knows that there is an essential difference between a few thousand soldiers and a few thousand cavalry, and a few thousand cavalry are completely capable of dealing with tens of thousands of infantry.
Besides, this horse is very rare, don't look at the history of the assassin and the Xianbei people have a good relationship, but the history of the assassin can't buy many horses at a high price, and the Hu people are also afraid that the Han people have cavalry, so they have the ability to compete with them, so the Hu people are very united and do not sell horses to the Han forces. Liu Kun had hundreds of cavalry under him. But now seeing Chu Yun's strength, Mo Han is really overly surprised, with Chu Yun's help, even if he fights against the Huns, he has the confidence. Chu Yun saw Mo Han's expression, and he knew it in his heart, and the group had their own thoughts, so they walked in with a smile.
