Chapter 721: Mo Nan (7)

The Hu people on the grassland are a group of wolf-worshipping people, not only do they tend to be wolves in personality and ideas, but their social structure is similar to that of wolves.

What does a wolf's social structure look like? It is to hunt and live under the leadership of one wolf, and each wolf obeys any orders of the wolf. And once the head wolf is useless, it will inevitably be abandoned by the wolves, or the wolf cub challenges and successfully defeats the old wolf and becomes the new wolf, and the old wolf will end up with nothing but death.

Mao Dun, who Tou Man doesn't like, has been excellent since returning to the Xiongnu ethnic group, and after going south, he has done a lot of beautiful things and given the correct construction that has been confirmed afterwards, if such a thing happens to the Chinese ethnic group, the Chinese ethnic group will only feel relieved and feel that there will be someone in the future, but Touman and Mao Dun are not members of the Chinese ethnic group, they are the Huns who live on the grassland and are accustomed to the elimination of advantages and disadvantages and advocate wolf nature.

More and more tribal leaders saw Maudun's excellence, which made Touman feel threatened, and this threat was not related to Touman's desire to pass on the position to his youngest son, but because Touman felt more and more like the head wolf who was about to be challenged by the wolf cubs.

The laws of survival on the grassland are extremely cruel, and there is never any human affection to talk about, let alone family affection. Seriously, can you expect a group that gives priority to abandoning the elderly and young children when food is scarce in winter?

Once faced with elimination, Touman deeply knows what fate he will face, after all, the Hu people who advocate wolf nature also have a characteristic, that is, they will not sympathize with the weak and will only worship and obey the strong, and no one will help him when the time comes, but will only scramble and can't wait to please the new head wolf.

So, now Touman has to consider not only the threat from the Han army, but also to see whether Mao Dun has any signs of challenging him, once it is confirmed that Mao Dun has signs of a challenge, even if there is a threat from the Han army, he will not hesitate to choose to kill Mao Dun first. will not be soft because Mao Dun is his own son.

"Retreat to the west!" Touman bowed his head and was silent for a long time, and when he raised his head again, he said that.

Many of the tribal leaders in the tent immediately echoed it, but some of the tribal leaders were in a hurry.

"The warriors of our tribe are fighting the Han army in front!"

"Yes, there are still warriors fighting with the Han army, and if you want to retreat, you should retreat in the northwest direction where Prince Maudun is located, why is it towards the west?"

There was a mess of everything, some were anxious about the soldiers of their own tribe, and some were saying that they should go to join Maudun. Touman understands the tribal leaders who take care of their own tribal soldiers, after all, if they want to survive on the grassland, they must not do without the army, and those tribal leaders are preserving themselves by keeping the soldiers under their accounts.

The rules of survival on the prairie are simple. Tribes can only seize pastures and survive if they have strong force, and they cannot grab pastures with abundant water and grass without force, and tribes that lose their arms will not only not be able to grab pastures, but will be swallowed up by powerful tribes. Don't think that the Hu people are harmonious and friendly, such things have been staged on the grassland for thousands of years, and all the people present, including Touman, have done that kind of thing.

Touman had an opinion about the tribal leaders who said they should go to Maudun. He is the Shan Yu of the Huns, and now he is not dead, these people are so obviously close to Mao Dun, what do you mean. Yes!?

Touman deliberately glanced at the leaders of the Xiutu Tribe, the Kun Evil Tribe, the Xiu Xun Tribe, the Aries Tribe, and the Xiou Tribe, and the leaders he had glanced at were all tribes with a population of more than twenty or thirty thousand, and they were also the leaders of the tribes that he thought could be trusted.

At present, there are not too many troops with a population of 20,000 or 30,000 on the grassland, and every tribe with such a population is destined to occupy pastures with abundant water and grass. Its tribe will also have some small tribes as vassals. If it is interpreted according to the Chinese civilization system, the leaders of these tribes are more powerful than the princes and kings. In fact, when Maudun established the system of left and right virtuous kings, many populous tribal leaders did become kings, but they added their own tribe names to the prefix of the king. For example, King Hugh Tu.

The tribal leaders who were swept by Touman all leaned forward slightly, and they showed a gesture of obedience to Touman's decision.

With the support of many big tribal leaders, Touman finally felt better. Still. He didn't know one thing, that is, it is recorded in history that when Maudon invited him to go in the name of inviting a military parade, he went and was stunned by the Ming Di shot by Maudun, and then thousands of horsemen trained by Maudon also shot arrows at him, and when he died as a "scarecrow" full of arrows, all the tribal leaders who had repeatedly expressed their allegiance countless times were obliged to repeatedly surrender and obey Maudun who killed his father.

Some of the troops fighting the Han army at the front were tribes that supported Touman, so of course they could not be abandoned. He insisted on retreating to the west, stating that he did not want to reveal the location of Maudun, and finally arranged the order of retreat, and those tribes who were inclined to Maudun were arranged behind the sequence of retreat.

No one is stupid, and they may not have figured out what they did to put Touman in the back, but they can always find that Touman looks at them very unpleasantly.

"Why are you in the back?" When Touman was faced with doubts, he asked rhetorically: "Will there be no difference between a team and a team?" ”

That's not nonsense, even if one person has a forehead and a back of the head or a chest and buttocks, of course the team is also divided into front and back.

"If Prince Maudun is here, he will choose to cut off his own queen!"

The person who said that sentence was giving an example, Mao Dun had done something like that in Qindi, arranging for other tribal leaders to take the lead, and he took his own troops to break off.

Touman was furious when he heard that, because Maudun had been acting too well since he returned to the tribal group, not only competing for the first place in everything, but also constantly winning people's hearts, which was why he suspected that Maudun was going to challenge the wolf cub of the head wolf.

If you want to say that you are a good person and do good deeds on the grassland, then it is absolutely ridiculous to win the hearts of the people with a trivial little thing, and the more good people are on the grassland, the easier it is to be killed, so some tribal leaders give an example of what Mao Dun did not mean to talk about others, but to make it clear that Mao Dun is more popular with the leader than Touman.

Touman's response to this was as simple as having the tent-guarding samurai come in and pull the tribal leader out and chop him into a pulp, showing his brutality in a way that he showed. After he killed that leader, he divided the population of his tribe among those leaders who supported him, and used this most direct method to tell the leaders of all tribes who was the head wolf, and it would be good to follow him, and if he dared to disobey himself, the fate would be to die and the tribe would be divided.

After Touman showed brutality, he divided the profits among those tribes who supported him, and let the leaders of those tribes suppress those who dared to twitter again, what was the reaction of the leaders of those tribes after that? On the premise that the big tribe supported Touman, the people who originally had opinions showed their submissive side, and no one dared to disagree with any of Touman's decisions.

Originally, this was the case, the rule on the grassland has always been that the strong are in charge, and Touman was the biggest powerhouse on the grassland when he was still supported by various big tribes. And the strong have always had the power to decide what is right and what is right on the grassland, that is the strong man's final say.

Touman is to arrange for the tribe to support himself in front of the retreating team, and those tribes are naturally very supportive of the arrangement made by Touman. And with the support of the big tribe for Touman's arrangement, no one had any objections to Touman's order of retreat, and the matter was decided.

The Hu people began to retreat in batches, and the Han army, which had not yet discovered the main force of the Hu people, of course, did not know anything about it, until some tribal cavalry who had fought with the Han army were retreating, and the Han army realized that something was wrong, but there was a new Hu team coming in the back, and the Han army only thought about replacing the Hu troops in front of them when they were disabled, and did not think more deeply.

The Han army did not send people to follow the remnants of the Hu people who turned around and ran, but they were forced back after several attempts, and a few squads were even eaten by the Hu people who surrounded the other side in several directions when they were tailgating, and in order to avoid losses, they also felt that since there were still enemy troops at the scene, it didn't matter if they couldn't follow those remnants, so they gave up the remnants of the Hu people who followed and turned around, and concentrated on the Hu people who came behind.

Both sides have always had follow-up troops to reinforce them, and the Han army originally thought that the Hu people would take the initiative to attack again when they accumulated a certain number, but things did not develop in the direction imagined by the Han army, and the Hu people were strangely concentrated together, and sent five people to approach the Han army with a small apricot yellow flag.

What does it mean to raise a small apricot flag in this year? In addition to expressing surrender, there was no use of force to ask for a conversation, and the Hu people only sent five people to slowly lean towards the Han army with a small apricot yellow flag, which had something to say.

The highest positions of the officers present in the Han army were all some military candidates, and the nearest lieutenant of the upper level was seven or eight miles away, and they hesitated for a moment before selecting the military candidate closest to the front according to the number of each song, and let this military candidate go up to talk on behalf of the Han army.

An even more strange thing happened, some of the five Hu people actually knew how to speak the Qin dialect, although the accent was strange and some syllables were not accurate, but they clearly expressed what they wanted to say.

"What? You want to negotiate terms with us??? The soldier who came forward to talk was a little unresponsive for a while.

The Hu man, who could speak a non-standard Qin accent, nodded very seriously: "Yes, I am here to negotiate conditions with you on behalf of our leader." ”

"Are you going to surrender?" The soldier who was in charge of talking to Han Jun really couldn't think of anything else he wanted to do besides this Hu man. (To be continued......)
