Section 961 The Expanding Huns

The morning sun rises in the east, and the vast Juyanze is beautiful and magnificent in the sun.

Bathed in the newborn sunshine.

The Xiongnu were single to the military ministers and began the daily necessary sun worship rituals.

"Great Sun God, thank you for your grace, let the warriors of the Great Huns, defeat Dawan, and gain its population and wealth!" The military ministers bowed to the newborn red sun.

Then, a foal and a whole box of gold were placed on the altar.

An old shaman, armed with a knife, slit the foal's throat and poured its blood onto the gold.

Red blood, steaming, flowed onto the yellow-orange-orange gold.

Suddenly, all the nobles and samurai let out a deafening cheer: "Hold the plow alone!" Hold the plow alone! ”

The retainer stood up and waved at his subjects.

Then he gave a generous speech: "Warriors, kings of all tribes! Thanks to the blessing of heaven and earth, the blessing of the ancestors, my Great Huns have broken through the whole country of Dawan, and obtained its land, population, wealth and livestock! ”

"Next year, Ben Dan Yu will continue to lead the invincible warriors of my Great Huns and continue to march west!"

"Despicable Yue's people! Shameful Kangju people and those thief-like Cypriots! ”

"Ben Dan Yu swore to the ancestors and gods that he would defeat their royal court! Plunder their livestock! Their women! Flog their children! Let the hooves of the Great Huns tread the whole world until the end of the earth! ”

The military minister raised his hands and shouted: "The gods bless the Great Huns!" ”

"The gods bless the Great Huns!"

He was greeted with countless cheers.

Now, the entire Xiongnu Empire, most of the tribes and peoples, have been convinced that the West is their best medicine for all problems!

Just by defeating one Dawan state, the Xiongnu gained more than 400,000 male and female slaves.

Among them, the female slaves of appropriate age have reached more than 100,000!

This means that in a few years, the Huns will have at least 200,000 new newborns!

In twenty years, the cavalry of the Huns will increase by half!

The population supplement alone was enough to restore the Xiongnu Empire to the peak of the old Shangdan era!

What's more, countless grains, wines, and gold and jade were also plundered from Dawan.

These riches were enough to make the foundation of the hegemony of the Xiongnu Empire more solid.

At the very least, this winter, the headquarters of the Xiongnu, especially the tribes directly under Shan Yuting, will live a winter without hunger and sorrow.

The morale of the Xiongnu and the gathering of the people's hearts were enhanced, as if they were opened.

Of course, for the military ministers.

The greatest trophy of this destruction of Dawan was the new and excellent horse breed found in some valleys and pastures of Dawan.

It is known as an excellent good horse of Dawan Horse.

This kind of horse is as fast as the wind.

Moreover, it is fat and strong, and it is the best horse breed that the Huns have seen so far.

The only flaw is that these horses are too difficult to serve and too expensive!

These horses, general pasture, do not eat at all.

They eat only the best young grasses and the most nutritious young leaves.

Even so, using these horses as stallions to improve the war horses ridden by the Xiongnu has been listed as the number one priority for the Xiongnu by the military ministers.

Of course, this time the Dawan Raiders, the Huns were not unscathed.

At least 10,000 cavalry remained under the fortified city of Dawan forever.

Another 20,000 or 30,000 people were wounded.

But this kind of thing, the military minister will not tell anyone else.

At the end of this salutation ceremony, the military minister returned to his single big tent.

There, he met his son Yu Dan, whom he had not seen for a long time, and Hu Yandangtu, the general of Zuo.

"My son!" As soon as they met, the military ministers hugged Yu Dan's body and kindly stroked his braids: "How are you doing in the north of the curtain?" ”

"Back to my father Shan Yu, my son is in the north of the curtain, and General Zuo takes care of him, everything is fine!" Yu Shan looked up and said.

"Good!" The military minister hugged Yu Shan for a while, and then handed the young son to his confidants and let them take Yu Shan to play.

"Let's talk about this Shan Yu, in the past few months, which jackals are about to move......" When Yu Shan walked away, the kindness and love on the faces of the military ministers disappeared cleanly, leaving only cruelty.

The military minister himself dodged countless open guns and arrows before he succeeded to the throne alive.

Of course, he knew how many madmen there were within the Huns who fantasized about killing the clan and replacing it themselves!

"Back to Da Shan Yu, those fights are just rats, and the minions have already cleaned them all out...... Hu Yandang replied with a scornful smile, and then his face turned straight and said: "The minions think that Da Dan Yu should be more concerned about the defense of Gaoque and Yinshan......

"There, there is only one Xiu Tu tribe and the Hun evil tribe stationed there, the Bai Aries and Loulan tribes who were originally responsible for assisting in the defense, now one is crippled and the other is wasted, once the Han Dynasty people attack, the minions are worried, and the Hun Tu and Hun evil people can't resist it!"

This is also what Hu Yan Dangtu is most worried about.

No one knew better than the Huns the importance of the Hetao to them.

It is not only the birthplace of the Xiongnu people, the ancestral court, but also the most important pasture and the largest arsenal of the Xiongnu people, and the core and cornerstone of the entire Munan region of the Xiongnu.

If you lose the Loop, you will lose Makunan.

And without the pastures in the south of the Munan, the Xiongnu Empire will decline!

In that year, the Qin people occupied the Hetao.

All the nomadic peoples, including the Xiongnu, all 'did not dare to go south to herd horses'.

The military ministers, of course, also know the importance of the Hetao.

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "General Zuo's concern is not unreasonable! ”

"In this way, this Dan Yu will order the Luhou tribe in Qilian Mountain and the Ruolu tribe in the north of the curtain to go south to the Hetao, and the defense of Gaoque will be taken over by the Luhou tribe, and the Ziling before Gaoque will be handed over to the Ruolu people to be responsible! At the same time, the headquarters of Aries and the headquarters of Zhelan have also returned to the Yinshan area! The military minister thought about it and made arrangements.

The Luhou tribe was originally a tribe living in the south of the Hetao.

But during the Han-Hun War more than ten years ago, it was King Lu Hou who instigated King Youxian to attack the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after the two countries negotiated peace, the Luhou tribe was punished, transferred out of the Hetao, and kicked down the mountains west of the Qilian Mountains to play with the Qiang people in the mud.

But the tribe went to the local area, and instead of declining, it flourished.

Its brutality and primitiveness were even more exaggerated than Zhelan within the Xiongnu.

It's just that they don't have the same good riding skills as the Zhelan.

The strength of the Luhou tribe lies in their ability to move in the mountains.

They were one of the few tribes within the Xiongnu who could build cities.

Now, several important cities of the Xiongnu were built by the Luhou tribe.

For example, the core of Makunan, Dragon City.

There is also Guzang City, where the King of Hutu is now.

They are all the masterpieces of the Lu Houren and the Donghu tribe and other Han people who surrendered.

Lu Houren dreamed of returning to the Hetao and catching up with old friends.

The military ministers believed that they had gone to Gaoque, and if the Han army attacked, the Lu Hou people would definitely resist and fight desperately.

As for the transfer of Ruolu to the Hetao.

It's because the military ministers don't worry about this tribe.

Since last year, King Ruolu has jumped up and down with King Hujie, who has now become the king of Youxian, lest the world be chaotic.

Now that the position of the military minister is stable, it is natural to find a way to clean up Ruolu and Hujie.

If possible, the status of the right virtuous king of the king of Hujie, the military ministers must find a way to deprive it!

Throw the Ruolu people to Ziling, a mountainous area near Yunzhong County.

The idea of the military minister is simple.

If the Han Dynasty wanted to attack, then the Ruolu people would be the first to bear the brunt.

The people of the Han Dynasty will help him destroy the Ruolu people first, and the Ruolu people will also use their own flesh and blood to warn Gaoque and Yinshan behind.

If the Han Dynasty did not attack, there would be no losses.

Moreover, the Ruolu tribe who is bound in Ziling will be strictly monitored by Shan Yuting's pro-confidence belly clan, and it is impossible to make waves again, let alone hook up with the Hujie people.

After this matter was settled, the military minister felt that it was all right.

There are four tribes in the Hetao area, and they are all the main tribes.

There is also a high level of natural danger to defend.

No matter how strong the Han people are, they don't want to take down or eat the Hun cavalry in this loop.

With this layer of arrangement and insurance, the Huns' Hetao can be said to be worry-free!

The military minister was about to continue talking to Hu Yan Dangtu about other things.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps outside the tent.

Two Xiongnu nobles walked in, knelt on the ground in a panic, and said: "Da Shan Yu, the right virtuous king urgently reported: Wu Wei, the son of Yin Zhixian, died of illness in Lanchi..."

When the military minister heard this, he waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "I know it!" ”

"Yin Zhixian's evil seed, it's good to die!"

The military ministers didn't bother to care whether Uwei really died of illness or was poisoned by the callers.

All he knew was that this guy was dead, and he was dead in the care of the Hujie.

Whatever the cause of death.

All good things!

However, some people do not think so.

It was only a quarter of an hour later that Landosin heard the news, and when he heard it, he was so shocked that he immediately rushed to the military ministers to ask for an audience.

As soon as they met, Lan Tuoxin knelt down and said: "Da Shan Yu, the slave heard that Prince Uwei died of illness, please Da Dan Yu investigate the crime of not taking good care of King Youxian!" ”

"Huh!?" The ministers almost thought they had misheard.

Uwe, that evil seed, is dead when he dies!

What is there to fuss about!

The military ministers were even ready to issue a one-ton certificate to King Youxian and his Hujie clan.

As soon as Uwei died, the power of the Right Virtuous King would be devoid of the spiritual co-master, and in the end, they would all kneel down obediently and surrender to him.

"Big Order!" Seeing this, Lan Tuoxin was extremely anxious, he prostrate on the ground and advised: "Please Da Dan Yu think about the reaction of Zuo Dadu Lieutenant Ruoyu and King Gaolin and others!" ”

"The Right Virtuous King is dead, and Yin Zhixian is also dead, but his wings are still there!" Lan Tuoxin kowtowed his head and said worriedly: "Today, Uwei is a tyrannical pawn, Da Danyu is not sad, but happy, and the slave thinks that this is probably not a good thing!" ”

Zuo Dadu Wei Ruo is the leader of the Outuo clan.

King Gaolin is the leader of the Gaolan tribe.

These are two powerful factions with more than 20,000 settlements.

And their relationship with Yin Zhixian is also complicated.

Zuo Daduwei's mother is Yin Zhixian's sister, and Gaolin Wang's sister was once married to Yin Zhixian, to be precise, he is Uwei's maternal grandfather.

Last year, Yin Zhi died in Mayi, and these people didn't say a word.

However, Lan Tuoxin knew that it was not that they were silent, but that they had no way to do so.

After all, dying on the battlefield and not being as skilled as others, in the eyes of the Huns, this is deserved.

No one can fault it.

But, now, Uwe suddenly died violently.

The ideas of Zuo Daduwei and King Gaolan are worth noting.

What's more, Yin Zhi's oblique line has a huge influence in the entire Makunan clan.

Especially many small and medium-sized tribes, they have been under the orders of the Right Virtuous King in Lanchi for generations.

Now, the last bloodline of their master is inexplicably dead.

What do these people think?

If you are not careful, these tribes will be alienated and even hostile to Shan Yuting in their hearts!

Not to mention, the military minister now thinks that Uwei is dying well, and he is dying wonderfully.

It will definitely anger the Outuo clan as well as the Gaolan clan.

Let them detach themselves from the court.

And those small and medium-sized tribes close to the Great Wall are afraid that they will betray the Xiongnu in fear, defect to the Han Dynasty, and go to the Han Dynasty as a dog's leg!

Such examples, in the past, were not uncommon.

Five years ago, wasn't there an example of three tribes defecting to the Han Dynasty with their people?

Going back further, the Han-Hungarian War more than ten years ago was not caused by a certain Xiongnu nobleman who was killed in a failed political struggle, and his son Zhang Ni crossed the Great Wall with thousands of troops to seek refuge in the Han Dynasty?

Not to mention, now the Han Dynasty is in the border fortress, engaging in the so-called 'three tables and five baits', and frantically wooing those small and medium-sized tribes.

The entire tribe of Munan, no matter how big or small, almost all have the shadow of the Han Dynasty looming in it.

Now, Shan Yu has to say publicly that Uwe is good to die.

So......

Rantosin couldn't imagine it anymore.

It's a pity that Lan Tuoxin's worries, in the eyes of the military ministers, are not as good as a dog!

The military minister laughed: "Captain Zuo? King Gaolan? Ben Shan had only seen them two days before, and they knelt before Ben Shan like a docile hound! ”

The military minister did have reason to be so proud.

After the defeat of Dawan, the wealth of the Xiongnu Empire skyrocketed.

The appearance of hundreds of thousands of slaves, especially those female slaves, is enough to restore his authority to the peak, and he can even be compared with Lao Shangdan.

In his eyes, there is only a Zuo Dadu Lieutenant and a Gaolan King.

It only adds up to 40,000 yiu!

More than half of them are loyal to Shan Yuting.

What waves can they make?

The real Youxian King and Yin Zhixian's diehards either died on the bloody night of Shan Yuting six or seven years ago, or followed Yin Zhixian and crashed to death under the Han Dynasty's Mayi City.

In the eyes of the military ministers, he even wished that Captain Zuo and King Gaolan would jump up against him.

In this way, he could rightfully take these two clans and enrich their population and livestock into the headquarters of Shan Yuting.

The military ministers now want to follow the example of the Han emperor and centralize power.

In the eyes of the military ministers, in the battle of Mayi, the Xiongnu were defeated in the system.

The Han Dynasty could concentrate its forces because it could centralize power, while the Xiongnu could not concentrate their forces because there were too many internal mountains.

The solution to this problem is, of course, to take over the power.

This is also the reason why he immediately collected his troops and returned after his westward expedition to Dawan.

Not only because of the enough fishing, but also because of the worry about the nest.

More reason, the military minister felt that he could already rely on such victories and those mountains of loot to start centralizing power and begin to strengthen Shan Yuting's control over various tribes and clans.

In this way, many problems can be solved once and for all.

When Lan Tuoxin saw this, he opened his mouth, unable to speak at all.

He knew very well that the military ministers were now inflated in the face of victory.

He was already immersed in his illusion of invincibility.

Unless, the Han Dynasty tore up the peace agreement, otherwise, he will definitely not change his mind.

"Alas!" Lan Tuoxin sighed inwardly.

He knew that from now on, the interior of the Xiongnu Empire was going to be troublesome.

Youxian Wang and Yin Zhixian, although they are both dead.

Die-hard loyalists have also been largely eliminated or marginalized.

However, there is a saying in the Han Dynasty: a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen!

Yin Zhixian's family has controlled the Makunan clan for decades and has been operating for a long time, how can it be so simple to eliminate?

However, there is no way for Lantuosin.

"Da Dan Yu ......" Lan Tuoxin had no choice but to retreat and made another request: "King Hujie and King Aries were detained and detained by the Han Dynasty, and the slave requested to send an envoy to Chang'an of the Han Dynasty to visit!" In addition, the knowledge and technology of the Han Dynasty are very important to my Great Xiongnu, and the slave heard that the Han Dynasty set up a 'Taixue' in its Chang'an, and asked Da Dan Yu to submit his credentials to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and ask the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for approval, and my Great Xiongnu can send the children of the nobles to Taixue to study! ”

"The two countries are fraternal states, so the emperor of the Han Dynasty should agree to this request of our country!" Lan Tuoxin said: "On the contrary, you can know that the people of the Han Dynasty have deep hostility towards our Great Huns!" ”

That's fine!

The military minister thought about it for a while, and then agreed. (To be continued.) )
