Chapter 118: Former Zhao's First Strategist
"I am a man of the Empire, and there is no seed. Yang Ye glanced at Bo Bing and Zhao Hao with disdain, and said with a pale and firm face. Chu Yun was disappointed for a while, sure enough, people with the ability are not easy to submit, but he doesn't want to delay any longer, it's almost dawn, he wants to restore order in Chang'an as soon as possible, so he can only do it if he is reluctant.
The plan that Chu Yun came up with was to contact Shi Le's army in the name of Jiang Ying and Xin Shu, lure the army sent by Shi Le into Chang'an City, and annihilate them in one fell swoop. In this way, even if Shile wanted to retaliate, it would take a lot of time to prepare, after all, the mobilization of the army could not be done in a moment. Chu Yun took advantage of this time to build his own power in Chang'an. Wait until your power is stable, and then annex Qinzhou, occupy the original territory of the former Zhao, and re-establish the banner of the iron-blooded army.
The possibility of realizing this plan is not low, because Chu Yun has basically mastered the army of Chang'an City now, and the heads and celebrities of those big family lords were killed by the chaotic army last night, and now all the forces in Chang'an City can say that the dragons are leaderless, and Chu Yun does not believe that he cannot control Chang'an in this environment.
Just before Chu Yun was about to make a move, Yang Ye spoke again: "Although I have no bad seeds, but I am also the most respected hero, General Wei is the hero I think, General Wei turned his hand into the clouds and covered his hand for rain, I Yang Ye admired, and I hope to follow General Wei around." Chu Yun looked at Yang Ye deeply.
This guy didn't say that he would follow the court and follow King Linhai like everyone else, but said that he would follow him on the eve of killing him, this person really has eyesight. Although Chu Yun didn't believe that he surrendered to himself 100% sincerely, Chu Yun still had a lot of things to do, and since he surrendered, it would save Chu Yun effort.
The next morning, the residents of Chang'an City woke up to find that the sky had changed, of course, they did not know what was going on, but the chaotic Chang'an City had patrolling soldiers, which undoubtedly told the people of Chang'an, who had suffered from several months of disorder, that order had been restored. Moreover, the heads hanging on the streets of Chang'an also shocked everyone, and these heads were the heads of those Chang'an gangsters who killed people and set fires to do all kinds of evil. Yesterday they did all kinds of evil, and today they are dead, which caused great pressure on everyone, but it quickly restored order in Chang'an.
Although order was restored in Chang'an, ordinary people didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know that it was a big thing done by King Linhai and General Wei. Chu Yun still had something to do, so he just begged the people of Chang'an to be honest and not to make trouble for him, not only Chu Yun's unintentional actions also created opportunities for him later, which Chu Yun did not expect.
Chang'an City can only enter and not exit now, Chu Yun divided the huge Chang'an City into four parts, and appointed Chang'an Orders respectively, they are all children of big families who have a good relationship with Chu Yun, they helped feed the army of 20,000 for a few months, and these big families have also reached the harvest season. No one is stupid, mutual benefit is the best way to cooperate, but they are only temporarily appointed, and only to maintain order.
Chu Yun transferred the 20,000 troops outside the city into the city, and he deliberately divided the military camps in the four directions of Chang'an City, and used the 20,000 troops as the skeleton to eat the tens of thousands of troops under Jiang Ying and Xin Shu. The armies of the other small forces were also absorbed by Chu Yun. Not only these soldiers, but they don't know who they are following now, Chu Yun killed those who were killed by the upper echelons, and those who were subdued were recovered, and ordinary soldiers just wanted to have enough to eat. To tell the truth, their group of soldiers who have no ideals and beliefs are far worse than the Iron Army.
Chu Yun's soldiers exceeded 100,000. He selected the elite of 100,000 people and formed 50,000 soldiers. The rest became auxiliaries and patrols. Among them, 30,000 auxiliaries and 20,000 patrols to maintain order in Chang'an City.
The 50,000 soldiers were divided into five parts, with 10,000 people divided into an army, of course, they could not be divided according to the military system of the Iron and Blood Army, but Chu Yun was simply divided according to the army system of the Huns.
Chu Yun personally led the first army, Lu Zhong, Liu Dongyong, Yang Sheng and Zhang Yun were the commanders of the first army, and they were named after the southeast and northwest, and they were named the Dongcheng Army, the Xicheng Army, the Nancheng Army and the Beicheng Army. Although Chu Yun's name is nondescript, it does not involve the sensitive nerves of those former ministers of Qianzhao, you must know that although Chu Yun is a general of Wei, he does not have the right to name the army, and the names of Chu Yunqi's Dongcheng Army represent that Chu Yun is just to defend the city, such a vulgar name is obviously impossible to last forever, and Chu Yun has no ambition on the surface. At least that's what Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, thinks, Chu Yun often asks Liu Jian for, which makes Liu Jian feel respected, so until now, Liu Jian still trusts Chu Yun very much. But he didn't know that Chu Yun and Shi Le were both poisonous snakes who wanted to destroy their Liu family at all times.
Time passed quickly, just when Chu Yun was desperately rectifying his army, Shi Sheng's army was only five days away from Chang'an, and along the way, Chu Yun let Shi Sheng's army enter Chang'an boldly and send him to death, so Chu Yun kept sending people to Shi Sheng to send supplies to numb his mind. Shi Sheng really didn't think much about it, but there was someone around him who felt that something was wrong, it was the masked man next to Shi Sheng, but he didn't know what he was thinking, he obviously saw that something was wrong, but he didn't mean to tell Shi Sheng, the commander.
However, just when Chu Yun was about to close the door and fight the dog and eliminate Shi Sheng, the messenger of the King of Nanyang entered Chang'an, and faced Chu Yun who was covering the sky in Chang'an, the messenger was caught by Chu Yun without seeing Liu Jian, the king of Linhai. Chu Yun didn't have a sense of awe either, he directly took out the letter from the King of Nanyang, but after reading it, Chu Yun's face became strange.
Liu Yao died, this man who was regarded as a military god by the Huns died, Liu Yao was a famous general who was delayed by the emperor, although he was a Huns, but Liu Yao's military talent was admired by Chu Yundu. Liu Yao successively broke through Luoyang and Chang'an, the two capitals of great significance, it can be said that he was the destroyed Jin Dynasty, and it was a first-class glory for the generals to destroy the enemy country.
Unlike Shi Le, who picked up cheap development in the back, Liu Yao has always been at the forefront of the battle all his life. Moreover, the defeat of Chu Yun's iron-blooded army was also Liu Yao's first shot, and then Shi Le picked up the cheap and occupied Shangdang County and Xihe County, the old nest of the iron-blooded army. When Chu Yun was poisoned, Liu Yao obeyed Liu Cong's order to destroy the emperor's younger brother, and he led tens of thousands of troops into Anding County alone. As a result, he was besieged by Cui Ning's 100,000 army and Liu Bi's 100,000 army, and he would have been defeated long ago if he was an ordinary person.
But Liu Yao was a mortal enemy to survive, he sent people to unite with Qianliang Zhang Qian, and attacked the Qianliang army back and forth, but defeated the iron-blooded army. Although the defeat of the Iron Blood Army at that time was due to the disheartening of the army when the news of Chu Yun's death came, it was also evident that Liu Yao was able to command the army.
Later, after Jin Zhun rebelled, he was supported by the Xiongnu nobles to become the emperor, and for ten years he supported the crisis alone, against the five forces of Shile, Qianliang, Southern Eastern Jin, Qiu Chi and Cheng Han, even if he was replaced, he did not necessarily do better than him. Although the final defeat is a bit ridiculous, it turned out to be a hangover and underestimate the enemy, but his talent cannot be denied.
In fact, after he was captured, his small life was not bad, Shi Le got him a place to be imprisoned, gave him beautiful women and food, and often asked his relatives to accompany Liu Yao to relieve his boredom. Shi Le took care of Liu Yao, after all, Liu Yao was also a generation of heroes in Shi Le's eyes.
But something happened in the middle that made Shi Le's attitude towards Liu Yao change greatly, when Liu Yao was imprisoned, an old man named Sun Ji asked to see Liu Yao, and Shi Le agreed without knowing what he had in mind. When Sun Ji saw Liu Yao, he said: "King Fugu, Guan You is called the emperor." Be careful and protect the territory. Use soldiers lightly and defeat Luoyang. Zuo is poor, and the sky is dead. Open a big score and hold on to it. Liu Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Why is it a good spirit! After Shi Le heard about it, he despised Liu Yao very much, thinking that he was actually counted down by an old man, and he was still peaceful, and he was really not a big husband. So he changed his attitude towards Liu Yao, you must know that Liu Yao is a prisoner, and Shi Le's attitude determines his survival situation.
Liu Yao's situation is getting worse and worse, and Shi Le doesn't bother to see him, but in line with the idea of waste utilization, Liu Yao writes a letter to his son to surrender. As a result, Liu Yaoxin wrote, but what Liu Yao wrote was, "Minister Kuang Wei Sheji, don't change my mind." "It means that you resist well, and don't care if I live or die. In a fit of rage, Shile slaughtered him.
What's even more amazing is that this letter was sent by a messenger before Shile knew about it. After Liu Yao's crown prince Liu Xi got the new one, he was ashamed of his cowardice in abandoning Chang'an, and as a result, he discussed with his brother Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, to prepare to return to Chang'an. Especially after they heard that Chang'an was not lost.
On the one hand, they gathered a large army and sent letters to the generals from all over the country to jointly rescue Chang'an, and on the other hand, they wrote a letter to Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, who was still in Chang'an City, to ask him to hold on. As a result, the letter was obtained by Chu Yun, who controlled Chang'an.
Chu Yun didn't expect that these two waste brothers would have the courage to come back after receiving their father's letter, of course, Chu Yun's plan was completely inconsistent, so Chu Yun immediately summoned several of his henchmen Lu Zhong, Wang Jie, and Zhou Yan to discuss.
Although Chu Yun now has tens of thousands of troops in hand, it can be said that he is in danger, and the soldiers under Chu Yun will listen to him again after the prince Liu Xi and the king of Nanyang, Liu Yin, come back, is a big question, after all, the prince Liu Xi and the king of Nanyang are in control of the righteousness. And before that, he also faced the fierce Shi Le army, Shi Sheng was not a good person to deal with, if according to the original plan, he continued to ambush Shi Sheng, and in the end it was likely that he made a wedding dress for the crown prince Liu Xi. At that time, Chu Yun may not even be able to save his life, after all, he has done too many things out of the ordinary during this time.
But it is impossible to take refuge in Shile, Shi Sheng's army is only three or four days away from Chang'an, and the time is extremely urgent. In every way, it looks like a dead end. Chu Yun was a little nostalgic for the strategists Mo Han and Zhang Tong back then, with them, he would not be as helpless as he is now.
"Du Du, I heard that Liu Yao's subordinates are all a bunch of martial artists, but there is a great talent comparable to Shi Le's subordinate Zhang Bin, but then I don't know what happened, he fell out with Liu Yao and has never been reused again, why don't Du Du invite him out of the mountain?" Lu Zhong saw Chu Yun frowning and said, Lu Zhong has been much more stable than before after so many years of precipitation, and he is better at thinking.
"Oh, who?" Chu Yun looked at Lu Zhong.
"The wanderer is far away. After Lu Zhong finished speaking, Chu Yun's eyes lit up, it turned out to be him.
This wanderer once put Chu Yun together, when Chu Yun designed to ambush Liu Yao, Liu Yao's ability to command troops was still a little immature, and he was almost hit, and finally Wanderer Ziyuan offered a plan to use Liu Jian as a bait, and used the gecko's tail to break off the tail, and successfully escaped. After Liu Jian was captured, Chu Yun once heard Liu Jian say that this person was Liu Yao's first mastermind.
Moreover, after Liu Yao became the emperor, this wanderer also repeatedly offered ideas to help Liu Yao stabilize the situation, so he was awarded the Great Situ and the Great General of Che Cavalry. He once prevented the indiscriminate killing of the patriarch of Bayi and angered Liu Yao to be imprisoned, and then rebelled against him, Liu Yao listened to his plan of pardoning accomplices and dividing and disintegrating, and used Youziyuan as the general of the chariot to defeat the rebels, and soon destroyed them. He also pacified the Void Quanqu clan who established themselves as the king of Qin, so that the heart would not rebel again, and stabilize the rule of Guanzhong in the former Zhao.
This person can be said to be a top person in and out of the phase, but unfortunately he repeatedly advised Liu Yao not to drink and make mistakes, which made Liu Yao alienated, he may have seen the gloomy future of Qianzhao, so he resigned directly. Therefore, Liu Xi did not take him with him when he left, and now he is in Chang'an, although this person has served as a high-ranking official, but his family is poor, which can also be seen that he is an honest official and a great talent. Although he is Han like Zhang Bin, he may only seek refuge in Hulu to show his talent and not want to bury his talent, but he is not as good as Zhang Bin's life. One master fails, and the other succeeds.
Liu Yao indulged in drunkenness in his later period, which was directly related to the death of his queen Empress. What Chu Yun didn't know was that You Ziyuan was alienated by Liu Yao, not just because he advised Liu Yao to drink less, but because You Ziyuan tried his best to belittle Queen Sheep in order to persuade him.
This sheep queen is a wonderful figure in Chinese history, she is the only queen who has served the two emperors of Hu and Han. This woman has a bad reputation in history, after all, she married the Hun Liu Yao, which not only does not conform to the moral code of the Han family, but also involves the etiquette gap between ethnic groups.
The world knows that Emperor Jin Hui is a fool, that is, the "why not eat minced meat" of the best, he broke out during the Eight Kings Rebellion, he was treated as a commodity for several princes to rush back and forth to play, and finally was poisoned, as his queen sheep sacrifice is also very bumpy.
However, Yang Xianrong was lucky in the end, although the first half of her life was bumpy, but the second half of her life found her true destiny, although she was snatched away, but Liu Yao loved her very much. Yang Xianrong also gave birth to three sons for Liu Yao, and the crown prince Liu Xi was her son.
Liu Yao made her the queen and participated in political affairs, it can be said that she favored the harem alone, and obeyed his words very much, in the first few years before Liu Yao became the emperor, the national strength was rising, and the role of the queen of sheep was indispensable. For example, when You Ziyuan angered Liu Yao, it was Queen Yang who interceded for him, and You Ziyuan was not killed, and he was able to play a huge role in stabilizing the situation in Guanzhong. However, in 222 A.D., Queen Sheep died, Liu Yao lost his virtuous help, and could no longer control himself, he often missed Queen Sheep and liked to drink, so that he was drunk and miserous, and was even captured.
Back then, You Ziyuan once advised Liu Yao not to get drunk, and told Liu Yao that he was not worthy of being a Han woman, and of course his heart was good. But it made Liu Yao think that it was not good for You Ziyuan to repay his moral character with resentment, after all, Queen Sheep had saved You Ziyuan's life, and You Ziyuan was completely alienated by Liu Yao.
Chu Yun didn't know these things, and even Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, didn't know about it, but Liu Xi, the son of Queen Yang, knew it, so at such a dangerous time, he didn't use this former Zhao's only important minister who could turn the tide, after all, You Ziyuan once said bad things about his mother.
But Chu Yun didn't know it didn't mean that Chu Yun wouldn't use You Ziyuan's talent, after thinking hard, he finally came to You Ziyuan's residence in person, this talent who died in the hands of the people of the Qian tribe after the destruction of Chang'an City was finally about to burst out with his dazzling light from the beginning.
You Ziyuan's home is really ordinary, even worse than ordinary people in Chang'an City, You Ziyuan didn't have a fortune a few years ago, he lived with his four sons, and he still needed his son to support him, and the best thing his son mixed was just a merchant's account.
After Chu Yun came to You's house, he sent someone to report, after all, Chu Yun still respected talented people, so he only brought Lu Zhong an entourage, and he also wanted to learn from Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house. As a result, Lu Zhong just handed the post in, but it was thrown out, and even the door of You's house was slammed shut. Lu Zhong walked back with an ugly face.
"What kind of bullshit General Wei, my father has been idle all these years, and no colleague has come to visit, and now that the court is at the end of the mountain, I think of my father again? Hmph, it's best if these dogs eat dogs are dead. Listening to the words of the son or grandson of You Ziyuan, Chu Yun was not surprised.
In the end, Chu Yun still met this former Great Situ General You Ziyuan, who was already in his fifties, but the process was not so good, because Chu Yun kicked the door of the You family open. The descendants of the You family were all frightened when they saw this scene, but when Chu Yun saw You Ziyuan, the old man looked at Chu Yun with a calm expression.
No one knew how Chu Yun persuaded You Ziyuan, because Lu Zhong was not present at the meeting between the two at that time, but in You Ziyuan's letter to his friend, he once laughed at himself, which was considered the key to solving this puzzle.
"There is always a good person, someone is rich, and someone is lustful, but I only want celebrities to be eternal. ”
After You Ziyuan came out of the mountain, Chu Yun immediately told him about the problems he was facing, You Ziyuan pondered for a long time before he finally spoke, when Chu Yun heard You Ziyuan's plan, he couldn't help but give You Ziyuan a thumbs up in his heart, he deserved to be the first-class strategist today.
