It has been more than half a month since Chu Yun returned to Wu'an again, Wu'an City has almost become an empty city, Wu'an is on the edge of Zhangshui, Zhang Tong used this to use water transportation to transport Wu'an City.

Now there are only Zhang Tong and some soldiers in Wu'an City, and they don't need to set up tents when they enter the city, there are many houses, and they can sleep casually, Chu Yun ordered his subordinates to repair, and he immediately summoned Zhang Tong.

"Governor. "I haven't seen Zhang Tong get a lot older for a while, and it is also caused by his daily fatigue and lack of time to wash, Chu Yun asked people to move two stools and sit in an empty courtyard.

"Gong Zhang, what's going on? I didn't order the Second Cavalry Brigade (Lu Zhong led the Second Cavalry Brigade by Lu Zhong in the previous chapters) to rush to Handan City to garrison, how could there be such a mistake?" Chu Yun made a plan with Zhang Tong at that time was like this, Chu Yun really couldn't understand how there could be a problem.

"Dudu, this also blames me, when Lu Zhong was defeated in Wu'an, I told him to be more careful when he went to Handan City, he obeyed my orders and acted with the Fifth Infantry Brigade, so the speed was not fast. I didn't expect the Qiang people in Yecheng to move so fast, when the brigade commander Lu Zhong felt that it was inappropriate, it was too late to speed up, the Qiang people set a trap in Handan, the brigade commander Lu Zhong was unsuspecting and fell into an ambush, the deputy brigade commander Zuo Song and the nine hundred cavalry have entered the city, it is estimated that the whole army has been wiped out, this is all my fault, please punish the governor. Zhang Tong took all the blame on him.

"Gong Zhang, you are indeed at fault, but Lu Zhong, as a brigade commander, has the right to make decisions on the spot, why didn't he send someone to investigate first when he entered the city? "How smart Chu Yun is, although Zhang Tong tried his best to cover it up, Chu Yun still heard some truths. Lu Zhong was the only winner of the Silver Medal of the Iron Blood Army, but he didn't expect to come to Yizhou and plant two heels, which made Chu Yun very dissatisfied.

"Dudu, Lu Zhong knows that he is wrong, after he was ambushed, he has calmed down a lot. Brigade Commander Zhao Hu was very experienced, and after receiving the news, he immediately evacuated to Qinkou Mountain to set up defenses, disrupting all the plans of the Qian. And Brigade Commander Lu Zhong also fully cooperated, and he personally led the troops to repel the cavalry of the Qian tribe many times, which can be regarded as atonement. Now is not the time for the governor to be held accountable, what should we do now? The Wei army often sends small units of cavalry to harass our rear, and our people of the first generation in Guangping and Feixiang cannot be relocated, and now they are tens of thousands of people unable to advance or retreat, and they are full of complaints, I am afraid of causing civil unrest. Zhang Tong said heavily, the thousands of cavalry in Wei County were too oppressive.

"Has Liu Bi returned?" Chu Yun suddenly asked, and as soon as Zhang Tong heard it, he knew that Chu Yun was ready to continue to transfer troops.

"Back to the governor, General Liu hasn't returned yet, but I guess it's almost soon. Zhang Tong thought for a while and said.

"Pass my order, order the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of Huangcun and Niu Gensheng's 7th Infantry Brigade to support quickly, and I will personally go to meet the cavalry of Wei County. Zhang Gong, if you really can't give up the population near Guangping County, you must know that we have gained a lot, after the 7th Infantry Brigade came, we built fortifications in Wu'an, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade was temporarily stationed in Wu'an to wait for my order. Zhang Gong, Shile's army has returned. Chu Yun didn't stay long, he left the thousands of captured war horses to Zhang Tong, these are all war horses, but they have no choice but to use them as pack horses. He took more than 1,600 iron-blooded cavalry to Yiyang County to join Guo Yong, and when the remaining 3,500 iron-blooded cavalry gathered together, Chu Yun did not believe that the Wei cavalry could stop him.

A few days later, Chu Yun and Guo Yong converged, Guo Yong had already shown the composure of a real general, he performed very well in breaking the city again and again during this time, but the 2,000 people he led were almost not injured, which was also Chu Yun was most satisfied.

To be honest, Chu Yun is also correct to look at Shi Le so solemnly, not to mention that in the future, even if he looks at Shi Le's every move now, he can also see his great ambition. There is a lot of grain and grass stored in the county town conquered by the iron-blooded army, which shows what, one is that Shi Le is very effective in governing the place, the second is that Shi Le is good at winning people's hearts, and the third is Shi Le's wealth, he is not short of food, and he has the foundation to do so, which all shows Shi Le's ambition, and the average Hu people will not think about it so long-term. However, it is precisely because of Shile's high means and abundant food that this is also the basis for the iron-blooded army to be able to fight continuously.

Shi Le's failure to deploy troops in Bingzhou does not mean that his strategic vision is poor, but that he is too conceited and knows Liu Kun too well, and he knows that Liu Kun will never send troops to drag him back, and he fights with Wang Jun in Youzhou, which Liu Kun can't wait for. However, this is also likely to be the last time Chu Yun has such a good chance, Shi Le will never give the Iron Blood Army a second chance, and Chu Yun and Shi Le will need a real army confrontation in the future.

Chu Yun encouraged Guo Yong a few words, he had long been ready to promote Guo Yong to a general in his own right, and now he was even more sure of his ideas. But now they still have an urgent enemy in front of them, Chu Yun didn't tell Guo Yongming, Guo Yong didn't take credit, and told Chu Yun what he knew.

The Wei cavalry was stationed in Handan, and during the day, under the leadership of Shi Le's nephew Shi Hu, they went to Qinkou Mountain to call for formation, and sent a small group of cavalry to harass behind enemy lines.

During this time, Guo Yong was also given a headache by the Wei County cavalry, the other party was as slippery as a loach, he couldn't catch the other party at all, and set up ambushes a few times, but the other party ran faster than a rabbit, Chu Yun's expression did not change after hearing this, this is the role and charm of cavalry, many dynasties in history have been dragged down by this tactic.

"They are stationed in Handan City?" Chu Yun asked, looking at the simple map, which was also drawn by the Supervision Division.

"Yes, Governor, but we can't get in, I've always wanted to take their lair, but Handan City is blocked by them, and the people inside are not allowed to go out at will, and outsiders can't get in. Guo Yong said.

"The population in Handan City is at least tens of thousands, right? If they don't let them in or out, do they want to starve all these people to death?" Chu Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Governor, I really haven't paid attention to this matter, I'll send someone to check it out now. Seeing Chu Yun nodding, Guo Yong left immediately.

After Chu Yun and Guo Yong converged, there was no movement, and the Wei cavalry invaded several times from their direction, but because the Iron Blood Army did not emigrate, they did not gain anything, and Chu Yun did not arrange traps to clean them up. A few days later, Guo Yong finally found a few people who had escaped from Handan City, and when Chu Yun learned that Handan City had been slaughtered by the Qiang people, he was furious. However, from the other party's point of view, this is the right thing to do, Handan City has become a military fortress without many Han people, and it is difficult to be breached from the inside.

Shi Hu took thousands of troops to Qinkou Mountain every few days to call for battle, trying to lure the enemy into battle, but Chu Yun strictly ordered them not to fight, so the Iron Blood Army and the Shi Hu Army were deadlocked, but this stalemate was very unfavorable to the Iron Blood Army, Shi Le's army was returning to the army, once Shi Le's army returned, to be honest, Chu Yun could only retreat.

After a few more days, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade finally arrived, but they all entered Wu'an City, and did not let the Wei army get any news. There are still more than 500 people left in the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, 2,000 people in the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, 3,500 people in the Iron and Blood Cavalry, Chu Yun gathered 6,000 cavalry, he is finally ready to act, in fact, Chu Yun came up with a plan a few days ago.

Chu Yun brought back all the captured armor of the Qiang tribe, anyway, these Qiang people were also robbed of the Han people, the territory of the Iron Blood Army does not produce iron, these seizures are the only source of armor, originally he was going to bring it back and paint it dark red, but now he has a better use.

Chu Yun asked the Third Cavalry Brigade to put on the armor of the Qiang tribe, and then changed it to the banner of Guo Quan's army, Guo Quan was completely annihilated by Chu Yun, all their equipment and weapons were captured by Chu Yun, Chu Yun picked out dozens of surrendered Qiang people, let them join the Third Cavalry Brigade, and prepared to implement Chu Yun's plan, not every Qiang people are not afraid of death.

"Governor. "Huang Cun, the brigade commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, secretly met with Chu Yun, Chu Yun told Huang Cun about his plan, and Huang Cun immediately went back to prepare.

He asked Huang Village's subordinates to change into the equipment of the Qian, pretending to be Shi Hu's reinforcements, Chu Yun once asked the captured prisoners, Shi Hu and Guo Quan had never met, so as long as they could enter Handan, then quickly occupy the city gate, Chu Yun would lead the army to kill it, and when Chu Yun occupied Handan City or defeated the Wei County army, then the Iron Blood Army could continue to move the people and return to Shangdang County before Shile's army came, with the blockage of the Taihang Mountains, Shile's cavalry could not threaten Shangdang County even if it was powerful.

Chu Yun is indeed very safe in Shangdang County, here from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is a place where soldiers must fight, it is surrounded by high mountains, only a few checkpoints can pass, if there is enough food, as long as Chu Yun is given 20,000 people, he can defend until the old age, this is the main reason why Chu Yun has the courage to provoke Shi Le.

Of course, this is also a big restriction, the closed small environment of Shangdang County restricts the development of the Iron and Blood Army, Chu Yun knows that Shi Le is powerful, so he must give him a ruthless time, so as to give Chu Yun strategic time and let him expand outward.

This time, Chu Yun was not only preparing to defeat the Wei County Shihu Army, but Chu Yun was also preparing to annihilate them, and the territory controlled by Shi Le was indeed getting bigger and bigger, which was the reason why his strength was getting stronger and stronger, but it also hindered his development. Many of the counties were forced to surrender to Shile, so their loyalty was almost nil, and Shile needed a lot of time to digest them, and this time they captured Youzhou, which was the territory of a state, so it would take at least a few years for Shile to digest.

Although Shi Le's army was large, and there was no problem in making up hundreds of thousands, he didn't dare to casually prepare the troops, because many places needed troops to defend them, which tore his strength into pieces. For example, he only stationed 5,000 cavalry in such an important place as Wei County, and many other places needed more troops, so it can be seen that Shile's troops are actually insufficient. Chu Yun intends to effectively annihilate Shi Le's soldiers, making Shi Le even more anxious, Shi Le will not fight to the death with the Iron and Blood Army, he must pacify Youzhou, Wei County, Zhao Guo County, and Guangping County, which will not have much energy to retaliate against the Iron and Blood Army.

As long as it can withstand Shi Le's three-plate axe, Shi Le's army will definitely retreat, and Chu Yun will have time to digest the territory of Xihe County, so the Wei County cavalry must be annihilated.

Shi Hu sent a lot of scouts to monitor Qinkou Mountain and Yiyang County, so Chu Yun's arrival did not escape their sight, but after Chu Yun came, he did not make any moves, but their number reached more than three thousand, so Shi Hu still would not relax.

Therefore, when the third cavalry brigade pretending to be the army of the Qiang tribe appeared, Xizuo immediately found out, but before these Xiaozuo could determine the identity of these troops, the iron-blooded cavalry of Yiyang County took action, and they seemed to have discovered the invaders, and they fought in front of Xizuo. The result, of course, was the "defeat" of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, and their embarrassment escaped, before which the scouts had returned to Handan City to pay their respects.

"You said that our cavalry fought with the Bingzhou army?" Chu Yun's iron-blooded army was of course independent of the Bingzhou army, but their reputation was very low among the Hu people, so they were still regarded as the Bingzhou army.

"Yes, General. The scout knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head, obviously Shi Hu's reputation was spreading more and more, even ordinary soldiers knew about it.

Shi Hu asked the scout all the information in detail, although the scout was very afraid, but obviously professional, and said the situation at the time without missing anything, Shi Hu waved his hand to let the scout retreat, and the scout left as if he was amnesty.

"It looks like Guo Quan has come, but it is worthy of being a ragtag army, and it was defeated by the Bingzhou army, let's go rescue this poor little white rabbit." After Shi Hu finished speaking, his subordinates laughed cooperatively. Shi Hu doesn't look young, but he is very ambitious, he has people in Xiangguo, and he is like a few civil ministers and military generals in Xiangguo City, but Shi Le is obviously wary of him, so he threw him here, away from the political center.

Guo Quan and his rise are about the same time, he has always admired Guo Quan, but unfortunately he has never seen it, he knows that his uncle Shi Le's defense of his subordinates, Guo Quan's descendants are all miscellaneous troops, so he has no doubt about Guo Quan's failure, what he values is Guo Quan's own potential, this time to rescue Guo Quan is to have a good relationship with Guo Quan, if it is someone else, he will never go in person.

Yiyang County and Handan County are next to each other, but from the straight-line distance between the two cities, there are still 200 miles, of course, it is not particularly difficult for the cavalry to run 200 miles a day, Cao Cao ran 300 miles a day in order to chase Liu Bei's tiger and leopard ride, and there was no problem in running for several days.

Chu Yun was also moved, he was followed by 3,500 people chasing the 3rd Cavalry Brigade in front of him, as if the two sides were really enemies, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade was also bloody, of course, they were all pretended, but it also looked extremely miserable.

Just after the third cavalry brigade ran into Handan more than 20 miles in embarrassment, they finally met the Shi Hu army who came to respond, and the Huang Village of the third cavalry got Chu Yun's instructions, and he commanded a few Qian soldiers to go to contact, and sure enough, after Shi Hu saw his compatriots, the suspicion in his heart suddenly disappeared.

In order to show his strength, Shi Hu didn't even see the face of Huang Village, so he asked them to retreat to the back to repair, although they said that they were too hard, in fact, Shi Hu wanted to show his strength and sell Guo Quan well. This is also in line with Huang Village's intentions, he was originally ordered to occupy the city gate, and when the time comes, he can take the first step, take advantage of the two sides to fight together, occupy the city gate first, and then fight with Chu Yun before and after, there is no doubt about victory.

Chu Yun's iron-blooded cavalry was also very uncomfortable, they chased the enemy in the back jokingly, but Chu Yun didn't let them move seriously, they could only hang from afar, but when they saw Shi Hujun rushing over, they all showed happy looks. It is estimated that those with such a strong fighting spirit are except for the Qin army and the later Mongolian army, that is, them.

Of course, Chu Yun would not be soft, they continued to maintain an awl formation and killed Shi Hujun, Shi Hu was also very confident in himself, he even formed an awl-shaped battle formation and killed the Iron Blood Army.

Chu Yun and Shi Hu were at the forefront, the speed of the two of them was very fast, so they only had time to hand in one move and they were wrong, Chu Yun's hands were a little numb, I didn't expect this Shi Hu to have so much strength, and this guy is the master of the Divine Stone, and his strength is at least six layers of the human realm, which is slightly weaker than Liu Kun, but the internal force attribute is not the common five attributes, it is actually a bit of Taoist internal force, looking at the stone tiger like the iron tower, Chu Yun has a feeling in his heart that ten thousand grass and mud horses have run over.

Chu Yun remembered that the Divine Stone was not something that could be used when he got it, it had to fit in with his body, otherwise it would be half the effort, but what was going on with this Shi Hu, he was about the same age as himself, and he had already reached the sixth level of the human realm after returning to Shi Le's side for more than a year, was this a genius?

However, although he thought a lot in his heart, he didn't stop in his hands, he killed every enemy he saw, and soon killed hundreds of people, at this time he finally penetrated the Shi Hu Army, and the Iron Blood Army behind him followed Chu Yun Hula and killed it.

Chu Yun roughly swept away and knew that he had killed and injured more than two hundred people, while the other party had four or five hundred dead, this was the real strength of the Iron Blood Army now. Don't look at the cavalry of the Qiang tribe with more than 1,000 people, but the rest are some miscellaneous troops, and even the cavalry of his own clan is not the strongest, Shi Hu obviously still has not won Shi Le's absolute trust.

But this scene made Shi Hu furious, he actually lost to the Han in the cavalry battle, which he couldn't bear, you must know that these cavalry were personally selected and trained by him. He looked at his men, and the more he looked, the more he felt that they were laughing at him.

One of his deputies, who is also General Pi of Shi Le Zheng'er, may not have long sights, so he actually rode over and persuaded with an old qualified attitude: "General, their combat effectiveness is not bad, it is difficult for us to take advantage, General Guo will come to support us, and when his men recover their strength, we will have six or seven thousand people, and when the time comes, it will be nine out of ten to deal with them, or let's go back first." ”

Shi Hu lowered his head and looked at his deputy, like a hungry wolf, "You said that the person I personally trained is not an opponent?" Shi Hu's voice was full of coldness, and he would be afraid if he was an ordinary person, but this person was Shi Le's favorite person next to Shi Hu, and he was not afraid, so he nodded indifferently.

"Yes, that's what I think, they are not ordinary cavalrymen, the general has the heavy responsibility that the general gives you, and I hope the general will focus on the overall situation. As soon as this person's voice fell, Shi Hu's shot was made.

Before the man could react, his head exploded like a bursting watermelon, and it took a long time for his body to fall off the horse, and his mount did not understand what was wrong with his master, and wanted to arch forward, trying to get his master up, and the cavalry was like a brother to his horse, so many times when the master died, the horse would end his life in an extreme way. For example, Xiang Yu's black horse died of hunger strike after Xiang Yu's death. But this warm scene made Shi Hu furious, Shi Hu shot again, Shi Hu smashed a stick on the horse's head, and the horse's huge body pressed on his master, and he was not alive. Shi Hu suddenly killed the deputy sent to him by Shi Le, and his ruthless methods shocked everyone again.
