In May, the Xiongnu's Chanyu Ting came to Longcheng.

The grand sacrifice also began.

In order to pray to the ancestors and gods, they will continue to bless the Xiongnu Empire with invincibility.

One by one, slaves were placed on the altar.

The Huns firmly believed that human sacrifice was the best sacrifice to their ancestors and gods.

In particular, sacrificing enemy leaders and nobles to ancestors and gods can make ancestors and gods happier.

Therefore, for this sacrifice, dozens of Dawan nobles were carried and tied to the stone pillars.

Their wails and screams echoed in Dragon City for several days.

The blood almost dyed the grass under the stone pillar black.

Countless flies were flying.

However, this year is different from previous years.

The shamans insist that their witchcraft and magical powers have been further strengthened.

Therefore, this year there is an additional link about cursing the Han Dynasty.

Shamans came on stage one after another, using various means to curse the enemy Han Dynasty.

Someone cursed and caused all the horses in the Han Dynasty to die of illness.

Some people also cursed, causing plague to occur in the Han Dynasty and causing the people to be displaced.

Some people even directly cursed that the emperor of the Han Dynasty died suddenly and the country was in civil strife.

With the performances of these shamans, the emotions within the Xiongnu were vented.

Many Xiongnu tribal leaders even raised their arms and shouted, asking the gods to punish the Han Dynasty.

The military officials and other senior Xiongnu officials were also very proud.

After the Battle of Mayi, the decline of the Xiongnu Empire seemed to have been brought to an end by this grand sacrifice.

The wealth, slaves and materials obtained from Dawan convinced many nobles that the Huns were still the most powerful country in the world.

Only in a certain dome in Dragon City, the aging Bank of China said, lying on a bed made of hay, listening to the noise outside Dragon City.

The old eunuch suddenly burst into tears and was heartbroken.

Landasin, who had always been by Zhongxing's side and carefully cared for the old master Shanyu like a disciple, saw this and lowered his head and asked: "Why are you sad?"

"When Old Shang Shanyu was in power, why did the Huns need to look at the face of the Han Dynasty?" Bank of China said, looking up, with the skin on his shriveled cheeks so rough that it could hold tears. He said sadly: "Old Shang Shanyu

When Yu was in power, although we, the great Xiongnu, could not claim to give or take anything from the Han Dynasty, we still had the upper hand! At that time, the Chan Yu had something to ask for, but the Han Dynasty did not dare not grant it! The Chan Yu wrote to the Han Emperor:

The tablet is two inches long, and the words are: The birth month of the heaven and the earth is the place where the Xiongnu Great Chanyu respectfully asks the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"It's nothing like today. Not only are the certificates of ceremonial documents measured to an inch, but their words are as cowardly as a mouse!"

Landasin was also ashamed when he heard this.

Since the Battle of Mayi, the Huns have automatically changed the credential of the Han Dynasty to the same size as the credential given to the Xiongnu Chanyu by the Han Dynasty.

In his words of praise, he even automatically and consciously deleted those words that might anger the Han Dynasty.

The current Han-Xiong credential, with the Xiongnu Fang raising his head, has become simple: the Xiongnu Chanyu respectfully asked the Han emperor.

Not only were the birth date and moon positions of heaven and earth deleted, but also the big characters of Great Xiongnu were omitted.

Not only that, the Emperor of Han became the Emperor of Han.

If we talk about the previous peace talks between Han and Hungary, the Xiongnu were the eldest brother and the Han Dynasty was the younger brother.

So now, the Huns automatically placed themselves under the Han Dynasty, which was almost equivalent to recognizing the hegemony of the Han Dynasty.

It is said that these changes were all the work of the traitor.

It was he who persuaded the nobles of Shan Yuting and the Chanyu, saying, "We, the great Xiongnu, have never paid much attention to red tape, and the so-called etiquette of the Han Dynasty is of no use to our Xiongnu." Then he persuaded the nobles of Shan Yuting to "focus on the overall situation."

'.

Who wants to oppose or boycott this matter?

Qi Qu Qie Diao would immediately jump up, point his finger at the other party's nose, and scold the other party as a "person with ulterior motives" who was trying to "sabotage the Great Chanyu's Western Expedition", provoking a war between Han and Hungary, and destroying peace.

The nobles of Shanyu and Shanyuting were all dazzled by the benefits brought by the Western Expedition.

It is difficult to control the exchanges between Han and Huns if they are left alone.

Under the auspices of Qiequ Qiediaonan, Talantaosin could only watch helplessly as the Huns' vassals in Munan became unstable in large areas.

Many small tribes lost confidence in Shan Yuting.

However, Landasin must also admit it.

It makes sense to say that it is difficult to channel and carve.

Now, the Han Dynasty is strong and the Huns are weak.

The result of the Battle of Mayi clearly proved this point.

The Xiongnu could not find a way to defeat the Han cavalry that could defeat the Han cavalry that surrounded and annihilated Zhelan, King Youxian's headquarters, Loufan, and Aries coalition forces at the foot of Mayi City.

The Xiongnu could only give in before the Han Dynasty.

in exchange for time.

This is a clear and unmistakable fact, no matter how dissatisfied Landosin and others are, they can only accept it.

Bank of China, who was lying on the hay, continued excitedly: "If today's Chanyu just tolerates or endures the humiliation, there may still be hope for the Huns, but..."

The Bank of China said it was hearing noisy noises outside.

The curses of the shamans and the cheers of the Huns nobles.

He lowered his head and said: "His behavior today clearly and unmistakably proves that he is a cowardly king!"

"Today's so-called curse is nothing more than the howl of a defeated dog!"

"I deeply regret that I didn't persuade King You Xian to take a preemptive strike, which led to today!"

"I'm afraid that the foundation created by my old master Shanyu will be lost in less than ten years!"

Landasin could only lower his head in silence as he listened to the rebellious words coming out of BOC's mouth.

Because he knew that what the old eunuch said was right.

Today's Xiongnu Chanyu and today's Xiongnu nobles are already frightened in front of the Han Dynasty.

The Battle of Mayi, a tragic defeat, was widely publicized by the Hun nobles who had returned through prisoner exchanges in the past two years.

The invulnerable Han army's cuirassiers, which were single-handedly smashed into pieces by Zhelan's army, made every Huns lose the confidence to win against them.

Especially in the hearts of the lower class herdsmen and cavalry, the cavalry of the Han army has been deified.

Originally, things might not have been this bad.

After all, the lower class herdsmen and cavalry are ignorant, and they believe whatever the nobles and masters say.

But the problem was that the entire Shan Yuting was frightened by the scenes described by the nobles who had been exchanged for prisoners.

They looked at the Han Dynasty with trepidation.

And this emotion was transmitted to the lower levels.

As a result, today's Xiongnu can only rely on shamans in Dragon City to curse the Han Dynasty.

But they did not dare to send people to kill, even if it was to insult and humiliate the Han envoys who were hunting down the captured Han people among the various tribes of the Xiongnu.

The tribes on the border between the two countries have either withdrawn voluntarily or are already flirting with the Han Dynasty.

Today's Xiongnu carnival, as the Bank of China said, is nothing more than the howl of a defeated dog, a gathering of cowards and cowards.

They are only willing to go to the west to conquer and plunder the weak Sai people, Yuezhi people, and Kangju people. They never want to go back to the Great Wall in the south.

Some tribes even exaggeratedly said that they did not even return to the south for the winter.

They moved their tribe's winter home to the basin in the west.

Since the founding of the Xiongnu country, such a situation has never occurred and has never faced such a situation.

Landasin sighed.

He looked up at Zhongxing, who was lying on the haystack and had reached the end of his life, and asked: "Mr. Zhongxing, you are the wise man of the great Shanyu, and also the wisdom of the great Xiongnu. In your opinion, if the great Xiongnu

What should we do if we want to continue and dominate?”

Bank of China said he was lying on the haystack, looking at Landosin, and shook his head at first.

Then, he remembered the episode in his memory that he would never forget.

That was the summer of twenty-seven years ago.

The old Shan Yu was established at the beginning, and a new peace treaty was reached between Han and Hungary.

He, a dispensable eunuch in the court, became the tack on the marriage treaty and was tied up and sent to the grassland.
