Chu Yun was stationed outside the city of Xiangguo, he was not in a hurry at all, the two armies were advancing rapidly, Guo Yong's way had already broken through two counties, and Lu Zhong's road had also been in Handan, and the Handan county order was ready to surrender.

Just when the three routes of the iron-blooded army were smooth, Shi Hu, who was stationed in Yecheng, Wei County, learned the news of the invasion of the Bingzhou army, and he did not wait for instructions, and directly led the army stationed in Yecheng to kill Lu Zhong's third cavalry brigade.

Shi Hu is really a natural general, he was only seventeen years old when he was returned to Shi Le by Liu Kun, this guy has shown no limit to cruelty since he was a child, and the army took him as a scourge, Shi Le told his mother: "This kid is a fierce scoundrel, if the army kills him, it will damage his reputation, it is better to get rid of him himself." Schle's mother said: "Most of the fast cattle break the cart when they are calves. Bear with me a little!"

So Shi Le did not kill Shi Hu, Shi Hu showed his military talent with Shi Le for more than a year, Shi Hu was good at archery and horseback, and was the first at that time. Shi Le appointed him as a general of the conquest, and for every city Shi Hu captured, he slaughtered a city, and few people remained. But the control of his subordinates was strict and not cumbersome, no one dared to disobey, assigned him to attack and conquer, invincible, so Shi Le favored and used him.

In April last year, Shi Le sent Shi Hu to attack Yecheng, Yecheng was defeated, Liu Yan fled to Liqiu, and all the displaced people of Santai surrendered to Shi Le. Shi Le asked Peach Leopard to serve as the Taishou of Wei County to manage. After a period of time, Shi Hu was asked to replace Taobao to guard Ye City.

After Shi Hu served as the Taishou of Wei County, he still behaved extremely brutally, but because Shi Le valued him very much, everyone could only endure it. But although he is brutal, but the army is well-organized, Shi Le let Shi Hu be stationed in Yecheng, mainly to guard against the Xiongnu Han State, don't look at Shi Le is to accept Liu Cong's leadership, and in the face of Liu Cong is also respectful, but both Liu Cong and Shi Le know that they both want to cause each other to die.

How could Liu Cong not know that Shi Le was not subservient, but Shi Le killed Wang Mi, the assassin of Qingzhou, who was loyal to his father and himself. And Shi Le also knew that Liu Cong was not at ease with himself, but Liu Cong was fighting with the Chang'an Imperial Court again, and he had no time to care about himself, and even dragged them to the threat from the north and south, and Shi Le's strength was not so great as to challenge Liu Cong. Don't look at Liu Cong's Xiongnu Han Kingdom, which has declined, but it is still the most powerful force in the world. Therefore, the two sides seem to be harmonious now, but in fact they are only forced to compromise, and Shi Hu is stationed in Wei County, which is the first line of defense against the Huns.

As for Bingzhou, for Chu Yun, Shi Le is not eye-catching, he doesn't believe that Bingzhou has any threat at all, so he doesn't have any defenses on the border between Bingzhou and Yizhou, even if it is a few thousand people in Wu'an City, it is only the Han army he has recruited, and there is no trace of the Qian people at all, which is also the fundamental reason why Chu Yun has the courage to attack Yizhou. However, Shi Hu's men had an extremely powerful cavalry of their own clan.

The Qiang people were the only Caucasian ethnic group among the ethnic minorities around the Jin Dynasty, they were deep-eyed, high-nosed, and bearded, and they looked very similar to the Europeans and Americans of later generations, and they were indeed a people who migrated from Central Asia and Europe. They were taller than the Han Chinese, and their tall bodies provided them with stronger combat power, these people wore chain mail, rode tall horses, were fierce and aggressive, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. Shi Hu has a cavalry of about 1,000 people, they are extremely aggressive under the instigation of Shi Hu, and this time Shi Hu supported Handan, bringing these 1,000 people, don't look at their small number, but they have great achievements. And behind these thousand people, there were also thousands of servant cavalry, most of them were the surrendered Han army and the Zahu army.

Lu Zhong, who rode the third brigade, did not know that he ushered in the most powerful opponent in his life, and he was gearing up to take Handan, although Handan is only a county seat, but it is a very famous big city in the whole Yizhou, Handan was once the capital of Zhao State, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States, and has a very important position in the hearts of many people in Yizhou.

Taking Handan is the ultimate goal that Chu Yun gave him, Chu Yun's Supervision Department has long known that there are Shi Hu stationed in Yecheng, so Handan City has become a bridgehead to resist the support of Wei County, he must take Handan, and firmly nail it here, and wait for the iron-blooded army to completely empty Guangping County.

This is not an easy matter, Chu Yun emptied Luoyang and Hanoi back then, because the armies of both places were wiped out, and Guangping is obviously not, not to mention the troops of Wei County, even in Xiangguo City of Guangping County, there are also tens of thousands of troops stationed, but it is because Shi Le's family and materials are concentrated here, so the troops of Xiangguo do not dare to go out of the city, but once Shi Le gives the order, the army of Xiangguo will definitely make Chu Yun very uncomfortable.

However, fortunately, Handan's county order had already sent a letter of surrender, and Zhao Hu's 2,000 infantry also arrived later, as long as Handan was taken first, then Chu Yun's plan could still be carried out smoothly.

"How many miles are there?" Lu Zhong rushed from Wu'an to Handan, and he hurried continuously, because he took into account the infantry behind them, so it was not very fast. Handan does not belong to Guangping, but belongs to Zhao County, this Zhao State is the fief of the princes and grandsons of all dynasties, not to mention, the fief of Zhao Wanglun of the Eight Kings Rebellion is in this area, otherwise how to call it King Zhao.

Of course, these have disappeared with the chaos in the world, and Zhaoguo County and Guangping County have been assigned to Wei County by Shi Le, so in Shi Hu's opinion, this is a slap in the face of the Bingzhou army, and he will be so excited. However, Chu Yun still regarded this place as Zhao Guojun according to the division of the Jin Dynasty. Of course, none of this hurts.

"Tell the brigade commander, there are still thirty miles. The scout immediately reported that Lu Zhong felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know what was wrong. The county commander of Handan County has surrendered, his own 2,000 cavalry, and 2,000 infantry behind him, a full 4,000 army is the largest number of people in the three roads of the Iron and Blood Army, Shi Le led most of his men to Yizhou, so Lu Zhong really couldn't think of what went wrong.

However, Lu Zhong was still ready to go to Handan in advance, and he didn't need to go with the infantry, thirty miles away, if the speed was faster, then he would be able to reach it in less than a day.

When Lu Zhong decided to speed up, Handan County was already under martial law, Handan County Decree called Su Fa is the son of the Su family of the Yizhou clan, this Su family is a typical wall grass, who will vote for whom, because after Shi Le came to Yizhou that year, the Su family surrendered early, so he was appointed as the Handan County Commander. Although Sufa surrendered to Shile, he actually couldn't look down on Shile in his heart, so when the state army arrived, he surrendered again without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, Su Fa didn't know that this merger of the state army was not what he thought of the state army, Su Fa thought that it was Liu Kun Liu, Liu Kun's reputation was very good in the family, he was very tolerant of the family, and he valued the children of the family very much, he valued the origin of his subordinates, which made Su Fa, a member of the family, very good. Moreover, Liu Kun's official position is extremely high, and he has a close relationship with the imperial court, and is deeply valued by the imperial court, and the imperial court will hardly refuse the people he recommends, so this is very attractive to Su Fa, who is young and obsessed with power.

Of course, if Su Fa knew that the Bingzhou army that came this time was not Liu Kun, but Chu Yun, he would never surrender so easily. Chu Yun's reputation in the family is very ordinary, not only because their Chu family is not famous, but also because Chu Yun once copied more than a dozen families in Luoyang on the charge of treason, although Chu Yun's move is reasonable, but it also makes the rest of the families feel cold, there are many intermarriages between families, he has destroyed more than a dozen families at a time, at least he can offend dozens of them, and by extension, almost all the families in the world have an extremely indifferent attitude towards Chu Yun.

During the day, Sufa was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the state army, and according to the agreement, he did not close the city gates, but only imposed martial law on the whole city. But suddenly a group of cavalry in Handan without any reaction to the people in Handan, when Sufa heard the news, his heart chuckled, he just wanted to go out to see, a team of tall cavalry rushed over, and did not even give a chance to speak, Sufa died under the scimitar.

With the death of Sufa, more than 1,000 cavalry slaughtered in Handan City, and thanks to the fact that there was no enemy guard at the east gate, the people of Handan fled a lot, but more were killed by this cavalry. This cavalry is the cavalry of the Qian tribe led by Shi Hu, and the characteristic of Shi Hu's troops is that he slaughters every city he breaks, so he doesn't need his orders, and his subordinates take action.

Shi Hu enjoyed the screams of others, in such a bloody slaughter of the city, Shi Hu was quietly eating roast sheep in Handan County, and there were dozens of corpses lying in the front yard of the county government, but the backyard of the county government was very comfortable, and this comfortable environment was in strong contrast with the killing faced by the people of Handan City.

Several of his personal guards carefully served this little master, who was less than twenty years old, and several of them were afraid of Shi Hu from the bottom of their hearts, because Shi Hu wanted to come out of the way, and the few guards that Shi Le specially sent to him were all killed by Shi Hu because they did not complete Shi Hu's sudden orders and ideas, and even the family members of those guards did not let go. Therefore, others think that following Shi Hu is a good errand, but in their eyes, they are always spinning in front of the gates of hell.

"General, now Handan has been completely occupied, but because this group of boys has enjoyed killing, the East City Gate forgot to close, and many people ran out. A lieutenant kicked a corpse in the front yard of the county government in front of his own road, and strode in.

His name is Shi Fo, and he claims to be Shi Hu's henchman, so he speaks very aggressively, Shi Hu is also very good to him, and he was promoted all the way to the school captain, in his opinion, isn't it just a run of thousands of untouchables, Shi Hu should not be difficult for himself. Shi Hu appointed Shi Buddha as the leader of this operation, and Shi Buddha thought that he had done a good job, and he did not think that he would be punished for a small matter.

Shi Hu didn't stop listening to the action of flipping the roast sheep in his hand, although he was only less than twenty years old, but he also grew a beard, his eyes were very deep, and he was usually cynical, and he was put away when he arrived on the battlefield, which was also the reason why he won all battles. He knew that his uncle Shi Le didn't like him, because he was brutal and easy to kill, but this was also something that Shi Hu couldn't change, his parents were not there since he was a child, he was often bullied, so he developed a brave and aggressive character, whenever he saw the blood of the enemy, Shi Hu couldn't control his behavior, of course, this is a mental illness, but in ancient times, no one would heal, and Shi Hu didn't need others to heal, because he was very excited and happy at this time.

The school captain named Shi Buddha saw that Shi Hu didn't blame himself, so he sat on the ground as usual, looking at the roast sheep on the shelf, waiting for Shi Hu's reward. The names of the Qiang people are a bit of a mess, but because of Shile as their leader, many people in the Qiang people follow the surname Shi, of course, it has nothing to do with Shile. In fact, Shi Hu is still good to his subordinates when he is not sick, plus Shi Buddha has been following Shi Hu for half a year, Shi Hu is very gentle to himself, and he usually has no respect, which also makes Shi Buddha lose the awe of a subordinate to his boss, of course, Hu people are all this character, Genghis Khan often sings and dances with his herdsmen.

Shi Hu watched the lamb roast golden brown, nodded, then took out the dagger on his waist and cut a piece and threw it to the stone Buddha who had long coveted it, and he also dragged a roasted leg of lamb and ate it in a big gulp, not caring that the fat was dripping on his body.

"Shi Buddha, you've been with me for more than half a year. Shi Hu asked casually while eating roast lamb shank.

"Yes, general, my father has followed the general from birth to death for more than ten years, and he saw that I was not too young, so he begged the general to arrange me into the general's side, and it has been more than half a year now. Shi Buddha said vaguely while eating the mutton in a big gulp.

"Well, how am I treating you these days?" After Shi Hu asked, Shi Buddha said loudly about Shi Hu's benefits, he was sincere, Shi Hu treated him really well.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll let you do me a favor, are you willing?" Shi Hu picked up his clothes and wiped his hands, and Shi Buddha didn't doubt him, so he immediately agreed.

He was about to ask Shi Hu what he needed to do, when he suddenly felt that he was flying, and then his eyes turned black and he died completely. Seeing Shi Hu suddenly kill Shi Buddha, his guards were shocked, but everyone bowed their heads deeply as if nothing had happened, Shi Hu's eyes became red, he had a sense of pleasure in killing, he wanted to kill everyone around him, but his last IQ made him hold back, he waved his hand and everyone walked out of the house as if they were amnesty, and Shi Hu's voice came out for a long time.

"Announce the head of the stone Buddha to the whole army, and tell this group of boys that they can kill people and rob women, but who can't complete Lao Tzu's order, then this is the end. In addition, I told them that no one was allowed to kill anyone, and that all the people in the city should be driven home, and that the city of Handan should be cleaned up, and that I had sent an order to Captain Hou to take three hundred men out and drive the fleeing people to the east, and not to let them go north. After Shi Hu gave the order, someone immediately went to deliver the order, and the two guards walked in and carefully took out the head of the dead stone Buddha. Seeing that Shi Hu was still eating mutton in a big gulp, the two of them shivered.

Of course, Lu Zhong didn't know what was going on in Handan City, because of Shi Hu's meticulousness, he didn't meet half of the people who fled from Handan City, Lu Zhong felt more and more nervous in his heart, as if something big was going to happen, he arranged more than fifty scouts, comprehensively surveyed the road ahead, and didn't find anything abnormal, he didn't know what was going on in this situation. If it is replaced by Chu Yun, he will immediately stop or even turn around and leave, this is the sixth sense that is often said in later generations, and it is also what some generals on the battlefield will have, once they encounter danger, they may be defeated and die, so they have some special inductions like Chu Yun, a warrior who ties his head to the belt of his trousers.

However, Lu Zhong did not dare to return to the army, the plan formulated by Chu Yun was regarded as a holy decree, even if it was death, they did not dare to disobey it. Chu Yun strictly ordered Lu Zhong to firmly occupy Handan, which was related to Chu Yun's overall plan, Lu Zhong knew the importance of his mission, so there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, and he would not retreat.

Outside the city of Xiangguo, Chu Yun has been stationed with three thousand iron-blooded troops for almost a week, he is very patient, Guo Yong is making rapid progress, and he has connected several counties along Zhangshui, and Zhang Tong is also commanding the large-scale relocation of everything they see, whether it is materials or personnel, tens of thousands of people have begun to move towards Shangdang County one after another, Xiangguo has a large population of more than 200,000, but it does not mean that there are so many people in any city, Chu Yun estimates that the counties they captured add up to about 100,000 people, there have been many major wars here in the past, although Shi Le has added many times, but it is far from the heyday, it is very happy to have so many Chu Yun。

It took several years for Shi Le to slowly recover Yizhou, and Chu Yun directly drew his salary, his purpose was to create an artificial no-man's land in Guangping County, which is next to Shangdang County, and become a buffer zone between Shi Le and himself, so that Chu Yun could have time to turn around and deal with the Zhang family father and son in Liangzhou, Chu Yun had already sent Huang Kai to Liangzhou, which shows that Chu Yun attaches great importance to Liangzhou. It is impossible for Chu Yun to defeat the Xiongnu Han Kingdom and Shile in a short time, so he can only make every effort to expand his strategic depth and strength, and Liangzhou is the territory that Chu Yun has been looking at from the beginning.

Kui An, who was in Xiangguo to oversee the government, also got the news that the Iron Blood Army devoured everything they saw like locusts crossing the border, Kui An couldn't sit still, if Guangping County was emptied, then he would not have good fruit to eat, you must know that Shi Le had built this place as his hinterland for many years. Once his hard work was burned, Kui An really couldn't imagine what Shi Le would do to himself. Although Shi Le seems to be broad-minded and good-natured, he is by no means a woman's kind person, they were brothers in the eighteen years, and swore to live and die together, but those few who betrayed Shi Le at the beginning are now all a pile of dry bones?

"Pass my order and let General Taobao and General Guo Quan come to see me. "Although Kui An did not receive Shi Le's order, but he had to take action, Kui An really couldn't understand, how could the Bingzhou army attack them when they were at their most weak, didn't Zhang Bin say that Bingzhou would not act rashly? But why would they attack now? Anyway, now he has to fight.
