Chapter 122: The Harvest Season Has Arrived
Chu Yun's residence is a mansion, although it is not as good as the Nanyang Royal Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, but it is also extremely luxurious. However, the previous owner here was destroyed by Chu Yun, and the owner here was once a prominent Han family. However, Chu Yun hates this kind of "flexible" traitor very much, and Chu Yun will not be soft on them. Although this group of wall grasses is not difficult to recover, they will never sincerely surrender, they will only lie on the new master to suck blood, and when the new master is gone, they will quickly change the master, how can Chu Yun have a good impression of them.
He instructed You Ziyuan, Lu Zhong and others to rectify the Chang'an army, and then immediately began to retreat. After all, the situation in his body was something that even the well-informed Chu Yun himself didn't understand. Chu Yun has learned a lot and is also very miscellaneous, and Chu Yun is confident in his own knowledge, but what happened to his body, Chu Yun really didn't know. There was no doubt that the new energy formed by the fusion of this murderous aura and the demonic qi in the Sky Red Blood Halberd had substance. In the past, Chu Yun knew that internal strength, external strength, and internal strength could cultivate real energy. These three all have their own wonderful effects, needless to say, internal force, this is the foundation of all Chu Yun's martial arts, and it is also the most mainstream cultivation method on the Xianwu Continent, and most of the martial arts have to rely on internal force.
External power is also a cultivation method that is not inferior to internal strength, and no matter how external power is cultivated, it is ultimately based on the body. After the internal force and the meridians and bones of the body are fused, a kind of blood qi will be produced, and Chu Yun is relying on the Gang Qi evolved from this blood qi plus the Guiyuan Gang Qi cultivated by internal strength, which has saved Chu Yun's life many times, and this blood qi is the energy generated by cultivating external skills.
And although the internal strength looks inconspicuous, it is by no means useless, not to mention the combination of internal strength and the Gang Qi cultivated by the Outer Kung Fu, allowing Chu Yun to cultivate the Guiyuan Gang Qi, an extremely powerful means of defense. It is the internal strength that can decompose any martial arts tricks, so that Chu Yun can save time learning martial arts tricks, which is of great help to Chu Yun. Moreover, the internal strength attached to the meridians is also a real energy.
Except for these three, Chu Yun had never encountered any other energy that could be cultivated, and the Divine Stone and Mental Power were both spiritual means, not direct energy.
But when he came to this world, Chu Yun was able to turn murderous qi into reality, which surprised Chu Yun, who had always thought that murderous qi was a means of spiritual attack. Because of his imprisonment all these years, Chu Yun's own murderous aura has almost risen with the passage of time, and Chu Yun's dantian was broken and he was unable to cultivate internal and external strength, so he could only focus on his murderous aura, and slowly Chu Yun summed up the miraculous skill of "Killing a Hundred Flowers".
For Chu Yun, those exercises that seemed to be powerful were actually not the most top-notch exercises, but there were some exercises that seemed to be very ordinary or not very strong in the early stage were the best, such as the Northern Spiritual Skill in the Heavenly Dragon.
Chu Yun's "Hundred Flowers Kill" is another growth-type exercise in Chu Yun's hands in addition to the "God of War Technique" and "Immortal Gong", the Guiyuan Gang Qi and Immortal Spiritual Power Cover of "God of War Technique" and "Immortal Gong" will be greatly enhanced with the increase of Chu Yun's strength, and the changes of the two to Chu Yun's body make this enhancement often have a superimposed effect, which has more potential than ordinary martial arts.
However, these two martial arts are not without bottlenecks, and the growth type of these two martial arts is linked to Chu Yun's own cultivation, which is more powerful than ordinary martial arts, but it is not an unlimited growth type of exercise. But "Hundred Flowers Killing" is that his power is getting stronger and stronger as the number of people he kills and his killing intent gathers more and more. As long as he kills enough people and his killing intent is heavy enough, the more powerful this martial art will be, Chu Yun can now compete with ordinary middle-level martial artists with "Hundred Flowers Killing", you must know that his cultivation is only at the beginning of the ground level.
What surprised Chu Yun the most was that the murderous aura and the demonic qi on the Ferris Red Blood Halberd were fused, the Ferris Red Blood Halberd was a magic soldier, which Chu Yun knew, but using the Ferris Red Blood Halberd could increase his strength by three percent out of thin air, which was also the reason why Chu Yun had been reluctant to abandon it.
Chu Yun had carefully studied the energy on it, but except for being able to know that this was a powerful demonic qi, the rest had not studied anything, although there were many demonic paths in the Xianwu Continent, but it seemed that he had never seen a demonic qi using this attribute, the demonic qi of this attribute did not seem to have any characteristics, but Chu Yun knew that it would never be so simple.
This time, Chu Yun miscalculated for a while, and actually let his murderous aura and this demonic aura merge together, the power fused together is stronger than the murderous aura, and this new power can actually grow out of thin air, growing himself every moment, it is more convenient than pure murderous aura to kill people and kill people. Because he seems to have strengthened out of thin air for no reason, Chu Yun's strength has also improved rapidly, Chu Yun has checked it several times, although this ability is growing, it is all under his control, and it seems to be very handy, so although Chu Yun knows that pie will not fall from the sky, it also makes Chu Yun reluctant to give up.
"It's a blessing or a curse, since I don't know if it's good or bad for you to exist, but at least it's what I need now. Chu Yun is no longer entangled in this power, he directly named this power Demon Source Murderous Qi, and then he was ready to go out to deal with political affairs, no matter how Chu Yun remembered that he wanted revenge, he wanted to torture and kill all his enemies, this has become his obsession.
Chu Yun retreated for more than a month, during this period Qinzhou was in full flames, Shi Hu deserved to be Shi Le's most relied on general over the years, he took 20,000 cavalry to attack the city without stopping, half of Qinzhou has fallen, if Chu Yun didn't often give them encouragement in the name of Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, they would have been finished a long time ago, but now they are almost at the limit.
At the same time, Chang'an is sorting out the army on a large scale, Chu Yun has already explained to his subordinates, under Lu Zhong's secret operation, the generals who are still loyal to Qianzhao have all lost their real power, or have been transferred or secretly removed, although the strength of Chang'an's defenders has been somewhat reduced, but it has made Chu Yun's control stronger. Moreover, Chu Yun ordered Liu Dongyong, a pure Hun, to take the blame for Lu Zhong, so even if someone had an opinion, he couldn't say anything. Chu Yun also arranged for Zhou Bin's son Zhou Yan to be monitored by Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, and no one could see Liu Jian directly, which also avoided accidents. In fact, Zhou Yan also wanted to become a powerful military general and avenge his father with his own hands. But after years of imprisonment, he has not learned the foundation of martial arts, so he can only take the road of civil officials, but Chu Yun is still very satisfied with this kid, not to mention his loyalty, and his actions are very measured, which can be regarded as a surprise to Chu Yun.
Chu Yun has been closed to Chang'an, but Chang'an has really a lot of food, it is estimated that it is enough for millions of people to eat for a few years, Liu Yao left his son really rich, but he didn't expect his son to be more pustule than the other, this is cheaper Chu Yun, and Chang'an is also very stable with food.
After Chu Yun became aware of the hardcore royalists in the army, he also introduced Han and other Hu people to enrich the army, and now Chang'an City has 70,000 soldiers, 40,000 auxiliaries and 20,000 servants. And 25,000 cavalrymen were selected from the soldiers, and there were not many of the Hu people who could ride well, so it was not too difficult to choose. The 25,000 people were the main force that Chu Yun was going to deal with Shi Hu's 20,000 iron cavalry.
Of course, Chu Yun would never believe that the 25,000 people under his command would be the opponent of Shi Hu's 20,000 men, but You Ziyuan set up a poisonous plan for Chu Yun, which was definitely a poisonous plan for the former Zhao's imperial relatives and relatives, but Chu Yun did not hesitate to adopt it. Whether it is the Huns or the Qian, they are Chu Yun's enemies, Chu Yun can't wait for them to die, and letting them eat dogs is more enjoyable than Chu Yun's personal revenge.
In Shangtai City, the crown prince Liu Xi and the king of Nanyang, Liu Yin, as well as several other princes and important ministers, all gathered together, and everyone's face was full of sorrow, and now the situation in Qinzhou is very bad. Not only Shi Hu attacked the city, but also the Qianliang Zhang clan also sent troops, although they were not as fast as Shi Hu, but they fought steadily, building a defensive position every time they occupied a place, and they didn't need to think about it to know their purpose.
"Second brother, why did you say that the eldest brother hadn't done it yet? Did he deliberately wait for us and Shi Hu to lose both sides, and then take advantage of this to ascend the throne as emperor? You must know that he was the son of the world back then. The crown prince Liu Xi complained, but as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, knew that something bad was going on, and sure enough, the eyes of the other princes and important ministers all lit up, they originally thought that they were in a desperate situation, but now it seems that they have a way out.
No wonder they thought so, in order to stabilize them and let them fight with Shi Hu, Chu Yun wrote a letter in the name of Liu Jian, the king of Linhai, to tell them that Chang'an had returned to them, so they must hold on, and wait for Chang'an to send troops and completely defeat Shi Hu in front and back. This is also the confidence they have held up to now, the two sides have fought dozens of battles, although most of them have failed, but they still withstood the pressure of Shi Hu, after all, they feel that they still have hope.
Shi Hu is really arrogant, his cavalry is indeed strong, but after all, he is not good at attacking cities, so the 20,000 people he brought, and only more than 13,000 people died, but Shi Hu did not retreat, he gathered tens of thousands of cannon fodder troops, and took these people to withstand Liu Yin's elite counterattack. You must know that when Liu Yin left, he took away 50,000 elite forbidden troops, these troops are not much worse than Shi Hu's subordinates, if it weren't for the bad boss, these alone could withstand it. However, because of the mistakes of Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, there are only more than 10,000 people left in the last family left by Liu Yao, and the rest are all rabble that have been temporarily gathered. This is also the main reason for the stalemate between the two families. Although Shi Hu looked down on Shi Sheng on the surface, he knew how powerful his younger brother was, and he felt that Shi Sheng would definitely come back to help him, so he gritted his teeth and persevered, but Shi Hu didn't know that Shi Sheng had long been abolished.
Both sides were waiting for reinforcements, but in fact, there were no reinforcements on both sides, Chu Yun was training the army with his own hands, and at the same time he was sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but it was time for him to take action in person.
"Don't talk nonsense, the eldest brother is not such a person, he is the most generous, I will personally repair a book in the next day, urging the eldest brother to act as soon as possible. Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, reprimanded, although Liu Xi was the crown prince, but he did not ascend the throne after all, and he was his brother, so he was qualified to reprimand, Liu Xi immediately knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly remedied.
But it was already a little late, and there were still a lot of letters sent together with Liu Yin, and for a while, there was an endless stream of messengers between Shangqi and Chang'an, but unfortunately, these letters ended up in Chu Yun's hands. Although these guys' letters were useless, they made the current situation of Shangqi clearer to Chu Yun.
"It's all at this time, and I'm still fighting in the nest, I see, Da Zhao is hopeless. "You Ziyuan handles all political affairs for Chu Yun, and these are obviously within his purview.
"It's time to get your hands dirty. When the temperature was getting colder and colder, and there might be a truce between the two sides if it dragged on, Chu Yun finally decided to make a move.
In October 329 AD, the gate of Chang'an, which had been closed for several months, slowly opened, and countless cavalry continued to pour out from the city gate, but although there were many cavalry, it was not chaotic, and the cavalry that poured out was divided on both sides of the city gate under the command of countless banner soldiers, and it was discharged for several miles. All the cavalry turned their heads to look in the direction of the city gate, and after a cup of tea, a general in black armor rode out on a black horse.
This horse is still a little different from Xiang Yu's black horse in history, Xiang Yu's black horse is pitch black but the four hooves are white, but this horse is all black, only two ribs have two white lightning-shaped marks, very handsome, so Shi Sheng conceited to name his horse Razor, this Razor is the residence of the most famous Razor Thunder God in ancient legends, so the black horse with two lightning marks is called this is also ingenious.
Of course, this person is Chu Yun, Chu Yun has become more and more fond of black after mastering the murderous aura of the Demon Source, but Chu Yun is extremely powerful in black armor and riding a black war horse. Behind Chu Yun, the six generals Liu Dongyong, Wang Jie, Yang Ye, Yang Sheng, Zhang Yun, and Zhao Hao followed behind. Chu Yun waved his hand and galloped towards the west in the lead, more than 25,000 cavalry followed closely behind, and tens of thousands of cavalry galloped together and even the earth shook.
You Ziyuan and Lu Zhong stood on the city wall and watched Chu Yun's army leave, even if the two of them were used to seeing the big scene, they were a little excited, and when Chu Yun came back, it was the time when the new king rose.
These days, Shi Hu found that something was not quite right, because the Xiongnu army, which had lost its spirit and spirit after being beaten by himself, actually recovered its morale, which is worth paying attention to for Shi Hu, a general who got up from the sea of corpses and fire. Generally speaking, this situation occurs either because the enemy has given a heavy reward or changed the leader, or the other party has come to reinforce the army.
But no matter which possibility it is, Shi Hu feels that it is not right, and Liu Yin has been doing it a long time ago, otherwise the other party would not have supported it until now, and now even if the reward is doubled, it is impossible to have a great effect, after all, it will be exhausted after one go.
And if the other party changes generals, it will be even more impossible, Liu Yin is the most proficient in fighting among Liu Yao's sons, and it is impossible to do better if he is replaced by others. As for changing to generals who are not surnamed Liu, Shi Hu is not underestimating Liu Xi and Liu Yin, they will never dare to do this.
The third point is that the other party came to support, but since Liu Yin's attack on Chang'an failed, the local forces that supported him have suffered heavy casualties, that is, Puhong, the king of Di, and Yao Yizhong, the chief of Qiang, have begun to lead the rats at both ends, they are the most powerful forces in the local area, and the other local forces are similar. Shi Hu really couldn't think of what was wrong with the other party.
However, Shi Hu is very conceited, no matter what the other party's reason is, his morale is high, he will not give up, he must make a contribution this time, let his uncle value himself more, and even make himself the prince. Shi Hu also has illusions about Shi Le, which may be why Shi Hu rebelled angrily and slaughtered all Shi Le's descendants after Shi Le set up his son as the heir in history.
"Give me to continue the attack, I will attack Shangtai in half a month. Shi Hu gave a strict order to his generals, and Shi Hu's descendants all bowed their heads and listened to orders, even if they felt that Shi Hu would not jump out against the moody Shi Hu, but there were always people who didn't know.
"Gong Zhongshan, the children have suffered heavy casualties, I hope Gong Zhongshan can be considerate of the children and let them rest for a few days, we are short of siege equipment now, why not wait a few days for people to make more siege equipment, again. ”
Poof. A red light flashed, and the Qiang handsome who was talking was shot by Shi Hu with chopsticks, and all the new people who took refuge in Shi Hu were shocked, but they didn't expect this murderous demon king to even kill his own people, and they were sad again.
"If the siege continues tomorrow, let this tribe take the lead for a while, and if it can't be attacked, it will not be allowed to collect troops. When everyone heard this, they were even more angry, isn't this going to destroy this tribe? You must know that this Qiang tribe is a big tribe, with more than 10,000 athletes, and it is one of the best forces among them, and it was exterminated because of a suggestion? But no one dared to intercede with them.
The next day, this tribe was forced by Shi Hu's nearly 10,000 golden wolf cavalry to launch a decisive charge, their combat effectiveness can be imagined, was easily defeated by the Shangqi defenders, and after the death of more than 10,000 Qiang Hu soldiers, Shi Hu's army dropped to more than 30,000 people, in addition to Shi Hu's descendants of more than 15,000 golden wolf horses, there were less than 20,000 cannon fodder, under Shi Hu's high-intensity oppression, there were tribes constantly fleeing, and coupled with the siege of extremely high casualties, so Shi Hu's strength was greatly reduced.
Of course, Shangtai is not much better, the 50,000 forbidden troops that Liu Yin brought when he fled from Chang'an were defeated again and again, and there were only more than 10,000 left, even if he added those new troops that were hastily assembled, there were only more than 25,000 people left in Shangtai.
However, a scene that surprised Shi Hu appeared, after Shangtai defeated the 10,000 Qiang Hu soldiers, Shangtai actually opened the city gate, and more than 10,000 Xiongnu forbidden troops rode out and killed the seemingly large camp, this scene stunned everyone? You must know that Liu Yin already had the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and Shi Hu had already been repulsed.
Shi Hucai didn't care whether it was weird or not, he saw the hope of breaking the city, he had long been exhausted by the siege, he turned over and rode over with the eight thousand golden wolves guarding him.
