Chapter Twenty-Five: Killing Fathers and Seizing Power

At the beginning, of course, no one on both sides believed anyone, so Chu Yun carried dozens of loads of grain, and exchanged dozens of Hun horses with the Huns, as long as the first time was successful, then there would be other cooperation in the future, dozens of loads of grain seemed to be a lot, but for thousands of Huns, it was only ten days to eat, so Chu Yun would never believe it, and they would not change it from then on.

When they arrived at the place, the two sides were on guard against each other, and the leaders of both sides stood far away to prevent accidents, and Chu Yun, a Wuhuan who could speak Xiongnu and Han, and a Xiongnu who could speak Han on the other side indirectly communicated, and the two sides exchanged materials very peacefully, and the two sides finally had a good start. The leader of the other party was the Xiongnu and the tribe's second-in-command Cao Gui, who was a person who advocated harmony with the Han people, so he changed his surname to Cao. After seeing Chu Yun talk about his credit like this, he was very happy to send someone to agree with Chu Yun that the two sides would continue to exchange, but this time it was more, they took out three hundred Hun horses and exchanged five hundred loads of grain, Chu Yun nodded and agreed, and the time was in the afternoon of the next day.

"Dudu, why don't we take the opportunity of the next horse change to wipe out the people who sent them grain in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to attack the Xiongnu camp, so that we can get thousands of good horses without having to produce a little grain? The governor felt that the loyalty of the Huns was admirable, but the hearts of the non-people of our people would be different, and they might become the executioners of the slaughter of our Han people at any time, and the governor could not have the kindness of a woman. Zhang Tong, who followed Chu Yun to fetch food, persuaded Chu Yun that he was right, those seemingly loyal aliens might become evil tigers, for example, those Hu people in the Tang Dynasty who seemed to be loyal did not all become gravediggers in the Tang Dynasty in the end.

But Chu Yun still felt that this was a little inappropriate: "Zhang Gong, they may indeed become bad people in the future, but now at least they don't, we Han people can't be punished without teaching, so that these loyal people are cold." And they have thousands of people outside, if we really take advantage of them to kill these people outside, and their clansmen outside know about it, we want to move, then we will face the harassment of a Hun army of thousands of people, do you think we can hold on?"

When Zhang Tong heard the first reason, he didn't really care, but when he heard the second reason, he had to be cautious, and sure enough, he thought long-term, if he couldn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, then he couldn't do it.

When the group returned to the Iron Blood Castle, everyone gathered around, and everyone expressed their opinions on the horses that Chu Yun had brought back, which was also the result of Chu Yun often cultivating their own thinking. There is a big difference between the horses of the Huns and the horses taken from Liu Bi, the most obvious is that the Hun horses are too short, so everyone sees these horses with a disgusted expression, after all, everyone thinks that the bigger the horses, the better.

Of course, what they said is correct to some extent, the horses are tall, the sprinting ability is strong, and the weight-bearing capacity is strong, why the Han Wu Emperor tirelessly pursued the sweat and blood horses, it is because the sweat and blood horses These famous horses are the basis for the emergence of heavy cavalry.

The Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Xiongnu by relying on cavalry, and the cavalry played an important role in the cavalry, and the sweaty horses played an important role.

The Mongolian horses of later generations have perfectly solved this shortcoming, they are hardworking, not afraid of cold, can adapt to the very extensive breeding management, have strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions. It can be walked for about 60 kilometers in 8 hours. The well-trained Mongolian horse, which is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has always been a good military horse.

Good to feed, stamina, strong vitality, and not frightened, so the Mongols can dominate Europe and Asia. The ancestors of the Mongolian horse were the Xiongnu horse, and like their descendants, the Mongolian horse was also very short, although it did not have the ability to survive the cold and eat anything as their descendants. But they are also relatively hard-working, and they are full of stamina, and the things they eat are not too small and very troublesome, so they can't starve to death if they eat grass all the time, so Chu Yun values the Xiongnu horses more than the thousands of horses he has obtained.

Chu Yun didn't care what they said, he personally sent someone to take care of these horses, and Chu Yun specially asked for more than a dozen mares, although he didn't have the conditions now, but when he had a solid base, he was ready to breed horses by himself.

Chu Yun has a prosperous life here, but the Huns who fought with the Qiang people in Quliang County have fallen into bad luck, their wishes are good, and their determination is also worthy of affirmation, but their strength is a little worse, their predecessors are invincible with Cao Wei, but it is a pity that they have lived too many comforting days after Cao Wei's extinction, and there is a gap with the Qiang people, who have been living in battle. And after all, they have few men, and their equipment is not as good as that of the Qian, and they are abused by blood.

In the end, if it weren't for the identity of their Huns, maybe they could be wiped out, even so, the Huns still left three or four hundred corpses and fled, the loss of the Xiongnu people was only more than a hundred, and the casualty ratio of three to one clearly illustrated the combat effectiveness of the two.

After the defeat of the Huns, they did not have the intention of fleeing into Quliang County, they directly ignored the response of the Li County Lieutenant of Quliang, and fled directly, and the Li County Lieutenant who came out to meet saw this scene, and could only retreat.

"Is County Magistrate Cao back?" When the city gate was closed, he immediately asked the people around him, although he is the county lieutenant of a county and controls the county soldiers of a county, but he basically does not lead the troops, but his Li family is a strong man in Quliang County, and he bought a position, although he wants to do something, but he does not have the ability.

"County Lieutenant, County Magistrate Cao has not returned. ”

"Let's go and see if something has happened to County Magistrate Cao. "County Lieutenant Li felt that something was wrong.

didn't move for a quarter of an hour, and the people who went to look for Cao Zheng ran back, and they found that the people in the county magistrate's mansion were empty. At this time, the people stationed at the west gate of Quliang County ran over and told County Lieutenant Li that Cao Zheng said that he was going to the county to find reinforcements, and he had already taken his family out of the city.

He glanced at Cao Zheng's eldest son in the distance, who was still concentrating on defending the city, and Cao Zheng, the father, was able to abandon his child and leave first, he had to admit that he had seen the wrong person.

The people outside would not pay attention to the thoughts of the Quliang people, and Zhi Nabin directly gave the order to slaughter the city, and this small county town with a history of hundreds of years was directly erased from the map, and when he was rejuvenated, he didn't know what year it was.

A few days later, several refugees came to Quliang County, they originally wanted to go in and order food, but when they entered it, they saw the rotting corpses layer by layer in the city gate, and the flies and maggots were happily eating, they crawled away from this ghost, the rumor of the slaughter of Quliang County spread in this area, and everyone was full of fear of the Hu people.

Helian, the young patriarch of the Xiongnu tribe, walked back with a disgraced face, this time he lost his adult, and three hundred people were killed and injured in the first command, he thought about the younger brother who was about to become an adult, and suddenly had a headache. However, he didn't think it was his own problem, but felt that it was because of the equipment, although the Han people were cowardly, but their craftsmanship didn't say, if it weren't for the iron armor made by the Han people, he didn't think he could lose. This strengthened his idea of going to Liu Cong, but how should his father pass that pass? He didn't succeed in rescuing, and so many people died, Helian Bobo deliberately walked very slowly, and at night, he gathered all his cronies to say what he thought, and few Huns liked to use their brains, let alone such a small tribe, so no one proposed anything to build. But there is a person who looks like a Han man who is a little nervous.

This Helian Bobo said that he looked down on the Han people, but he still married a Han woman, which not only made his father feel that he was close to the Han people, but the most important thing was that the Han women were much better looking than those stinky Hun women, and this woman didn't know where she ran out, she was picked up by herself from the side of the road, and brought a younger brother, Helian Bobo rescued her back and became his wife. His cheap brother-in-law is called Cui Zhen, and he has been leading his horse to make some groceries.

Helian Bobo saw what Cui Zhen wanted to say, so he asked unprecedentedly, and Cui Zhen was overjoyed.

"Brother-in-law. As soon as Cui Zhen finished speaking, he was glared back by Helian Bobo, and he changed his words.

"Young Patriarch, it's a good thing for you to lose three hundred people this time. After Cui Zhen finished speaking, Helian Bobo kicked out with a big foot, he thought that this kid was ridiculing himself, he kicked Cui Zhen a few times hard, and was pulled away by the cronies around him.

"Han dog, don't think that your sister is my woman and can taunt me, I will beat you to death first, and then I will give your sister to my subordinates when I go back. The Huns treated women like goods, and Cui Zhen had no doubt that he could do it, so he kneeled forward and begged Helian Bobo to listen to him.

Cui Zhen didn't wait for Helian Bobo to agree, he didn't dare to arouse people's appetites, and quickly said: "Young patriarch, most of the people killed and injured this time are the patriarch's cronies, they have always been against you, and it is difficult for you to rise if you suppress it, but now because of the strategy of the young patriarch, most of our own people are unscathed, and we have suppressed the patriarch's line from the strength." Although there is still some combat power in the clan, after all, our tribe is too old and weak, and these thousand people are the most elite combat power, and we have mastered this force. When we return, the patriarch will not only not complain about us, but may give you more power. However, I always feel that the patriarch is temporarily stabilizing the young patriarch, so I think that if the young patriarch can take this opportunity to eradicate the patriarch, then everything in the tribe will be yours. ”

Hearing Cui Zhen's explanation, Helian suddenly became enlightened, his side died less, and the side that could fight was his father's people. There is not much loss on his side, this is originally his own side is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he has a virtue with himself, but in Cui Zhen's mouth, it has become his own strategy, and he feels that Cui Zhen is very good at talking. But when he heard that Cui Zhen let him kill the patriarch, that is, his biological father, he was a little afraid, no matter how they used to drink blood, but after all, they had lived in the territory of the Han people for so long, and filial piety was still bound on them.

"Cui boy, don't talk about it, how can I kill my father, everyone is tired, let's go back and rest first." Cui Zhen knew that Helian Bobo was tempted, he sneered in his heart, how can you understand the power of the patriarch, you will definitely die when the time comes, and your sister will definitely escape from the clutches of the devil, but he knows how Helian Bobo treats his sister, he has already killed Helian Bobo.

The next day, Cui Zhen, who was sleeping in a daze, was pulled out by one of Helian Bobo's cronies, he knew that Helian Bobo's guy was tempted, the corner of his mouth sneered, and then he respectfully lowered his head and came to Helian Bobo. Helian Bobo's eyes were red, obviously he hadn't slept all night, he hugged Cui Zhen when he saw it, his huge physique made Cui Zhen uncomfortable, but Cui Zhen had the most humble smile on his face.

"Cui Zhen, what should I do?"

Sure enough, Helian Bobo couldn't wait, he was already thirty years old, and he even had two children, although they were not born to his wife, but no matter what, he was still controlled by power, and he wanted to directly replace his father, he couldn't wait. What about killing the father, we Huns kill more fathers, and the old lion is no longer good, so a new lion king needs to stand up.

Cui Zhen followed Helian Bobo's words, they still have more than 600 people left, but more than 200 of them are the henchmen of the patriarch, so according to Cui Zhen's words, it is to eradicate a few of the diehards, and then force them to submit to themselves, and then when they return to the camp, they suddenly make a difficulty, take down the patriarch, and then they can control the entire tribe and fight for power.

I have to say that Cui Zhen's plan is simple and rude, if it is really implemented according to his plan, then it is really possible to achieve it, but unfortunately, the person who made the plan is a traitor, and he has already thought of countermeasures.

When the sun rose, the patriarch's men and horses opened their eyes to find that their clothes, weapons, and horses were all gone, and around them were the people with evil faces.

"Young patriarch, what do you mean by this?" Cao Yang, the leader of the patriarch's family, asked, they all changed their Han surnames to Cao, and the young patriarch actually had a Chinese name called Cao Cheng, but he never used it.

"Cao Yang, you are the old man of the tribe, I think my father is old, he is no longer an eagle in the sky, I want to lead you to achieve the glory of the ancients, are you willing to follow me?" Helian said with victory in his hand.

"Haha, Helian Bobo, don't be delusional, how many disasters have the patriarch and his old man escaped with our tribe, if it weren't for him, we would have been finished a long time ago, how could you still be talking nonsense here. Don't think that if Liu Cong becomes the emperor, we Huns will be able to win the Han people, it's really ridiculous, once the Han people are surnamed Wuqi, it will be a disaster for all our foreign races, I don't want to bring disaster to my tribe because of temporary benefits. Young patriarch give up. Cao Yang is not young, and he is also highly respected, after he finished speaking, even the people on Helian Bobo's side were a little shaken.

"I'll take my people to glory, old things to death. Helian Bobo hacked Cao Yang to the ground with a knife like crazy, everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, this Cao Yang is very prestigious, looking at the clansmen who were going to fight with him in an instant, Helian Bobo also regretted a little, but Cui Zhen was ecstatic, he deliberately did not remind the patriarch to be careful, didn't it just make Helian Bobo make a bigger mistake, so wrong that his father couldn't save him, so that this person could be completely solved. He knew very well that although his patriarch didn't like his son very much, who thought differently from himself, he didn't have the idea of replacing the heir, so Cui Zhen would endure it for a long time.

"Kill, the more people you kill, the better. Cui Zhen looked at this scene with enthusiastic eyes.

"Are you going to follow me? or do you want to be like this man?" Helian Bobo had no way to retreat, and once he retreated, he would be crushed. Therefore, looking at the angry clansmen in front of him, he was also very worried.

"Don't dream, you killed Uncle Cao, and you want us to take refuge in you, you dream. An older clansman shouted, and immediately the people behind him shouted.

"Well, you want to die for you. Helian Bobo picked up the knife that was still dripping blood, and killed the people who refused to submit like crazy, killing more than a dozen in a short time, even his cronies couldn't see it, and came over to stop Helian Bobo, Helian Bobo was red-eyed, roared and was pulled into the distance, at this time Cui Zhen quietly walked towards the Huns who refused to surrender.

When Helian Bobo finally came to his senses, he himself couldn't believe that these diehard diehards had really surrendered, Helian Bobo was overjoyed, he didn't expect that his indiscriminate killing action really had an effect, and with Cui Zhen's praise, he laughed conceitedly. Without question, he recovered their weapons and equipment, and then triumphantly mounted his horse and galloped towards his tribe. In his heart, the tribal leader was already in his pocket, and his father would probably be very sad when he saw this scene.
