To the north of the river, the sky is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields. On the vast plains, cattle and sheep are everywhere. From time to time, you can see herdsmen riding horses galloping with whips, and young men riding sheep using their bows to shoot rats.
Everyone says that the Huns migrated in search of water and grass, and the city walls were always used for farming.
This is correct, but it is also incorrect.
As a nomadic people, the Huns would indeed drive their livestock to graze as the seasons changed. The people lived in tents in tents and tents and did not build houses or pavilions.
But the Huns did not just build cities.
Far to the north of the Yin Mountains, there is the Holy Land of the Huns, Longcheng (描城).
And under this Yin Mountain, there is also a stone city standing in the wilderness.
The city is not big, and the construction is not very exquisite. Compared with the Xia cities in the south, it looks simple and crude, with a primitive and wild flavor.
This is where Touman Chanyu of the Xiongnu met with nobles from various tribes, received foreign envoys, and handled government and military affairs. It was the political center of the Xiongnu near Yinshan Mountain. What a bad fight!
North of Yinshan Mountain, many tribes that originally submitted to the Huns took advantage of the civil strife to break away.
"You know, although the total number of the Yuezhi is as small as that of Zhao Tuo, the grassland is where the cavalry gallops. The Qin people's army is mostly infantry. There is no chance that the Yuezhi will be the Yuezhi under the grassland.
The rival of the cavalry."
Before Touman Huyan cursed a few times, he felt it was interesting and asked about King Yougu Li's situation.
However, despite this, Touman Huyan still found it difficult to defeat the rebels and reunify the Huns.
Falling into the trap twice, his majesty was wiped out, his elite troops were injured, and the strength of the wolf king in Touman Huyan was greatly reduced, and he lost his ability to deter his subordinates.
Toumanhuyan's eyes were bright and lifeless.
After all, my Touman Huyan's troops were slightly damaged, and we were able to suppress and annex the rest of the troops with all our strength.
Meng'e reported the latest status of King Wuluxu of Youguli.
I looked at Qin Junzi, who later reported the news, and said with a smile: "He still remembers what the old King Yan said about the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profiting."
My prestige was completely lost in two small defeats. The reason why the Xiongnu can be reunited at this moment is entirely because of the threat of enemies from here, which prompted the tribes to temporarily put aside internal fighting. It is not because these rebels really surrendered to me. Manhuyan
.
"The Qin people must have fought fiercely with the Yueshi. The Qin people need to mobilize that army to go south for support!"
Many young Huns still remember that just ten years later, the young Touman Huyan unified all the grassland tribes and established a weak political power comparable to that of Yuezhi and Donghu, firmly occupying the fertile grassland in the center.
But just when the Xiongnu were at their peak, Touman Huyan fell into the Zhao people's trick while going south to invade the Kingdom of the Crown. He was deceived by Zhao general Li Mu and killed more than 100,000 Xiongnu horses, which greatly weakened the Xiongnu's strength.
He was slightly injured and could only flee back to the north in embarrassment to lick his wounds.
Ever since the First World War in Daidi, before the Xiongnu were injured and fled north, several Xiongnu tribes led by You Meng'e Cewu Luxu had coveted the position of Huyan in Touman and launched a brazen rebellion.
More than ten years have passed. The Xiongnu, who had just recovered some strength, were taken to Dai by Toumanhuyan. Once again, they fell into the scheme of the people of Guandei. They were deceived by the Qin general Shanyu. They were attacked at night and killed overnight.
More than 10,000 people.
Therefore, Touman Huyan was very concerned about the situation in Henan. While watching the battle, he was not ready to intervene at any time.
It's just that the Huns before reunification were as weak as they were later.
The Yueshi are also enemies of the Xiongnu! I feel very upset.
I seemed to see the scene where I captured Zhao Tuo and Yueshi in one fell swoop.
Henan is not surrounded by small rivers, and the places where you can cross the rivers are extremely unlimited. Zhao Tuo's blockade directly cut off the communication of news with the Huns.
According to the information obtained by the Huns after Zhao Tuo blocked the river, Qin's small army of conquering Henan was less than 800,000 strong!
Usually it was the name of the Qin general who led the army, which made the Huns' eyes twitch.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult to quell the rebellion, which breaks my mind. Qianqianqiannu
As a result, the Yuezhi people cut off their way forward. Except for some young men who fled, they lost all their cattle, sheep and livestock, and many of the young people who stayed there became slaves of the Yuezhi people.
Touman Meng'e pieced together the entire grassland under my control, and there were only about 40,000 cavalry left that could be recruited for the battlefield, which was much less than the two Yue clans in Henan, so it was delayed.
There was no move south to take back the Henan land.
Touman Huyan laughed and said: "Yes, he thinks that the current Yuezhi is not this river clam basking in the sun, and the Qin people are not this silly snipe bird whose beak has been pinched by the clam?"
This guy is so evil.
Gutu Chanyu, the plow supporter of the Xiongnu, was sitting on a wooden bench (small bench), with his legs spread wide, his face was ashen, and his black eyebrows were wrinkled into a thick puddle on his round face.
At this moment, he faced the news that he had the power to cross the river from the right bone capital.
It was said that I would fight to the front, both sides would lose, and it would also allow me to gain a fisherman's advantage. I took advantage of the situation and led a small army southward to deal with the Yueshi and Qin people together. Until Zhao Tuo came.
At that time, the Yuezhi people gave me a little help.
Touman Huyan naturally hated having to cut this traitor into four pieces, but faced with the opportunity to reunify the Huns and the threat from the Yuezhi, I still smiled and accepted King Yougu Li's surrender without any punishment.
.
In those ten years, Touman Meng'e was defeated twice by the people of the Southern Crown, which can be said to be extremely capable.
During the war, not many tribes participated in the rebellion, and few tribes remained neutral. Watching the alpha wolf challenge among the wolves made Tou Manhuyan's fight against the rebellion very difficult.
When two enemies fight, it's really dog-eat-dog.
Even if I just defeat Zhao Tuo's partial army, or plunder the tribe of Jiuyue clan, I can avenge my shame and make the Xiongnu tribes submit to me again.
Unexpectedly, the news of the fight between Zhao Tuo and the Yueshi people had still spread, but Zhao Tuo, who came from the county, blocked the river.
In addition, the Qin general Meng E seemed to be deliberately targeting Huyan. In the night attack, he only attacked Huyan's elite Wangting and a few tribes close to me. As a result, in the battle of Daidi, the strength of the Xiongnu tribes was small, but the headless Manhuyan suffered a tragic loss.
Strengthen.
A cold light flashed in Touman Meng'e's eyes. "Should we go or not?"
Touman Huyan spoke with a warm face.
Toumanhuyan gritted his teeth and occasionally mentioned the name of General Qin who had deceived me.
In Henan, many Shaorong tribes that originally belonged to the Xiongnu also fell into the hands of the Yuezhi.
The construction of this city has great symbolic significance, representing that the grassland under the Yin Mountain is the territory of the Huns.
The reason why I pay attention to the war in Henan is because I want to fish in troubled waters and win a battle to consolidate my authority.
The land of Henan is the territory of King Yougu Li and some rebel tribes. Because we mobilized troops and went to the far reaches of Yin Mountain to compete with Touman Huyan for the position of the alpha wolf, the land of Henan was enriched.
"You were defeated by the Qin people, and the land of Henan was captured by the Yueshi. You can definitely defeat either side, and you can reestablish your authority and make us convinced of you."
At this time, Toumanhuyan was the most dazzling sun under the grassland. He was called the insignificant plow supporter Gutuhuyan of the Huns. He was deeply respected by the Huns, and everyone in my family obeyed me.
Tou Manhuyan thought about the peaceful war situation in Henan.
But at that time, Touman Meng'e really dared to take advantage of You Meng'e.
Qin Jun, the Right Gudu Marquis, shook his head and said: "The Qin people guard the creek very tightly. There are not a small number of cavalry patrolling along the river. Even at the bend of the creek in the west, no one is stationed. You Xiongnu warriors can't go there. Once they are captured,
If you find out, you will be shot by the Qin people with our crossbows. Our crossbows are too weak, and you are completely a match."
However, I was not happy about Meng E leading his army to conquer Henan.
Being beaten twice in a row was enough to destroy Tou Manhuyan's prestige.
The alpha wolf of the pack must be the weakest and most ferocious one.
Zhao Tuo, who was blockaded along the river, actually moved. King Li of Yougu's strength was reduced. Behind me was Manhuyan, the head of Yinshan Mountain, and in front of me were the two tribes of the Yuezhi who had robbed Henan.
Head to Manchester City. "Huh, trash."
According to the investigation of the Xiongnu scouts, Zhao Tuo's army seemed to have received some urgent news. Except for leaving a large number of people to continue to guard the traffic arteries, the rest of the army broke out of camp and marched southward in a hurry.
At this moment, in this iconic city of the Huns.
As long as I have not won the battle, I have no real say.
I am sure that if I kill King Yougu Li at that time, the newly unified Xiongnu will probably fall apart and be difficult to unite.
The Qin people's weak bows, powerful crossbows, strong armor and sharp blades all made it difficult for the Huns to get through. Therefore, Touman Huyan, who knew the specific battle situation, could only wait outside Touman City all day long, and could only give in when needed.
I sent out some scouts to see if they could get through the Qin blockade and bring me some useless information.
The small number made every Huns who heard it take a breath.
Zhao Tuo is the enemy of the Huns!
Moreover, the Xiongnu, whose strength was diminished, also attracted the covetous attention of King Donghu.
"Wuluxu has been getting close to Young General You recently, and he doesn't seem to be trying to win over you. If you want to warn him, I'll give him a warning."
As time passed, Touman Huyan was getting anxious about how to get the news about Henan.
Touman Meng'e cursed, stood up, turned around, kicked over the bed, and paced back and forth in the center of the room with a calm look.
King Youguli was a bachelor, so he begged for surrender directly to Toumanhuyan, praying for Meng'e's understanding and working together to deal with the Yueshi.
Qin Junji blinked and remembered the story that Yan Wangxi once told, and replied: "It seems to be about a river mussel with its shell open and basking in the sun. No snipe saw it, so it stretched out its beak to peck at the mussel.
The river mussel slowly closed its shell and clamped the snipe's beak tightly, and neither of them was willing to let go. The first fisherman who passed by saw it and caught them both."
"Hahaha, here's the opportunity!"
Facing the weak Donghu, Touman Huyan was so frightened that he could only send an envoy to offer his beautiful Yan family to the king of Donghu, as well as his weak BMW, and even sent his son Maodun to Donghu as a hostage.
So that Donghu can let us go.
"And Meng'e, your assigned supporter of the plow, will be the first to benefit!
This city is a small city built in the wilderness after the Huns went south, using stone materials from several fortresses they captured in the Zhao Kingdom.
It happened that the Qin people sent troops to regain Liaodong and posed a threat to Donghu, which saved the Huns from being robbed by Donghu.
"If you want to secure your position, you have to show the weakness of the alpha wolf by not killing weak prey."
"Chanyu!"
One of the reasons that led to that result was that Touman Huyan showed my ability on the battlefield.
