Donghu is a powerful northern ethnic group in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, named after the Xiongnu, a Hu race, to the east.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was adjacent to the Yan State in the south, and was later broken by the Yan general Qin Kai, and moved to the Laoha River and Xilamulun River basins in the upper reaches of the Liao River. Yan built the Great Wall to prevent its invasion.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Donghu was strong, and its leader had asked the Xiongnu for famous horses, clans and land, and was later defeated by the Xiongnu. The one that retreated to Wuhuan Mountain is called Wuhuan; The branch that retreated to Xianbei Mountain is called Xianbei.

In fact, "Donghu" should be a transliteration of an ancient Altaic word, and the correct pronunciation should be "Tunguska".

The "tong" of "Tonggu" means willow bushes, and "Gu" means river.

The literal translation of "Tonggu" means "wicker river" or "river with willow trees on the banks", which can be understood as "the people who live in the valley of the willow river".

Xianbei people Tan Shi Huai, when he was young, brave and resourceful, was elected as the leader of the tribe.

Later, he established a royal court in Gaoliu Beidanhan Mountain, plundered the counties along the border to the south, resisted Ding Ling in the north, repelled Fuyu in the east, and attacked Wusun in the west.

At this time, Xianbei completely occupied the homeland of the Xiongnu, reaching more than 14,000 li from east to west and more than 7,000 li from north to south.

In the second year of Guanghe, that is, in July last year, the Xiongnu Zhonglang took Zhang Xiu's original Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huwei without authorization, and Liqiang Canal was Shan Yu.

The Xianbei royal court was in Danhan Mountain, that is, the Datong area of Shanxi in later generations, just as Ming Chengzu put the capital in Beijing, and the king of the Xianbei people stood next to the Southern Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.

Originally, it was just an unauthorized action by Zhang Xiu, he just took into account that every year Zhuhu was troubled, many Huns followed the Xianbei people to the south, and the Southern Hun king did not control the tribe effectively.

Just this small action made the neighboring Xianbei people nervous, and Tanshihuai summoned the Xianbei tribe to guard against the next move of the Han.

It's not like Hanting hasn't done such a thing.

In August of the sixth year of Xiping, that is, in August of the year before the Great Great, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent Xia Yu, the captain of Karasuma, to set off from Gaoliu, the general Tian Yan of Poxianbei Zhonglang to set off from Yunzhong, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zang Min to lead the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu to set off from Yanmen.

They each led more than 10,000 cavalrymen, divided their troops into three routes out of the border fortress, and penetrated more than 2,000 miles into the land of Xianbei.

Tanshi Huai ordered the leaders of the eastern, central, and western divisions to lead their subordinates to meet the battle.

Xia Yu and others suffered a crushing defeat, and even lost all the talisman and baggage, and each led dozens of cavalry to flee for their lives, and the Han army accounted for seven or eight out of ten soldiers killed in the battle.

However, Tan Shihuai also knew that the Han Dynasty had a vast territory and a large population, and every time the tribes only came to plunder the population, grab guns and food, and really did not have the idea of attacking or even annexing the Han Dynasty.

However, the Han people did not take the next step, and the leaders of the various tribes were restless, thinking that Tanshihuai wanted to take the opportunity to gather everyone together to eliminate themselves.

In fact, not only them, but also Tanshihuai himself is also worried that the tribes will rise up to rebel and be on guard at any time.

Unexpectedly, on a dark and windy night, two old men dressed in Hun costumes brazenly entered the king's account.

The Xianbei people are highly disciplined, and if something happens to their king because of the guards, the tribe behind them will be wiped out.

Therefore, one by one, despite their night blindness, they moved forward bravely, and almost all of them were killed and injured.

In the end, the two of them were seriously injured by Tanshi Huai, and they escaped with one blow.

For a time, the entire Xianbei royal court was full of soldiers, and Tanshi Huai ordered the leaders to return to the territory quickly.

The events of that night, although others did not know the probability, they also understood that their king had suffered a loss, just because Tanshi Huai had accumulated power all year round, and he did not act for the time being.

Tan Shi Huai was a ruthless man, he was seriously injured at night, and the next day he still pretended to be okay to meet the tribal leaders.

Since then, he has been riding horses every day, and he still looks alive. Seeing where Wang Qi came, everyone in Xianbei fell to the ground.

Those tribes who were about to move had to die down and did not dare to make further moves.

This year is another year of great drought, and the grasslands with green grass in the past look yellow.

The herding slaves, often traveling hundreds of miles a day with their cattle from place to place, looked just as skinny and emaciated day by day.

In fact, even the closest people to Tanshi Huai did not know that his king had run out of oil and had run out of oil, and his time was short.

Rise from a small tribe. Annexed the surrounding tribes, led the Xianbei people to attack their masters, the Huns, and fought for many years.

Tanshi Huai knows that there are not a few enemies in his own tribe, his own race, foreign tribes, bright places, and dark places.

At the beginning, he divided Xianbei into three parts: eastern, central and western, and appointed the tribal leaders of his cronies to manage them.

A Haidongqing flew into the sky, and during the inspection of the Xianbei King, he was always probing the surrounding situation.

The autumn on the grassland is still very warm, but the sandalwood locust in the golden tent lives in a simple place, wearing a thick fur, and feels cold.

He slowly stepped out of the chariot and looked at the withered yellow grassland, his face gloomy.

"Father!" was flirting with several women, flirting with the prince and Lian Da was shocked, knocking to the ground.

"Get up, is it necessary to be so restrained in the presence of your father?" Tanshi Huai's expression was cold, and he didn't look at this son who only knew the sound of dogs and horses.

In the process of Xianbei's rise, he worked day and night, only thinking about how to grow and fight, ignoring the reproduction of his children.

When people reach middle age, they repent, accept many concubines, and give birth to many sons.

But Tan Shihuai knew that if he fell, the son in front of him, who seemed to be very afraid of him, would swing his butcher's knife and kill those half-brothers who were still in infancy.

Out of sight and out of mind, he waved his hand and motioned for Kazuen to leave.

"Great Khan!" As soon as Helian disappeared, he rode like a whirlwind to the edge of the golden horde, and saw their king prostrate himself on the ground.

"Hantu, what good news do you have for me?" Tanshi Huai's face was displeased, and the messages he received every day made him restless.

Either this tribe has a different heart, or that tribe has annexed the surrounding small tribes and wants to follow the path of rise that it has taken.

"It's about the Assassins!" Hantu didn't say much, and presented the white silk in his hand.

Hearing the word assassin, Tanshi Huai trembled, and quickly stepped forward to take the white silk in his hand.

He has always been very jealous of those two old men, even if he was seriously injured, he did not order people to chase them.

When he was young, he entered the Northern Xiongnu royal court, and the powerful existence there made Tanshi Huai feel cold when he thought about it to this day, he couldn't imagine that there were such powerful people in the world, no wonder the Huns were immortal for thousands of years.

From then on, when he encountered the Xiongnu tribe, he no longer dared to order slaughter, just enslaved.

It was two assassins who took scimitars to kill the golden tent, and Tan Shihuai also thought that he had provoked the powerful existence of the Xiongnu royal court, and sent someone to warn him.

"What, Han warrior?!" Sandalwood locust's eyes seem to be about to breathe fire.
