The vast Black Forest was once the hunting ground of King Silkhan.
The Kingdom of Sile originated from the Black Forest. The road to founding the country began with the conquest of the tribes in the Black Forest. As the country became stronger, it gradually expanded eastward to the Desert Grassland, and at one time even intended to continue eastward to conquer the entire desert grassland.
However, the expansion plan of the Sile Kingdom was eventually blocked by the Bohai people.
Although the territory of Bohai State is not as vast as that of Sile State, it has richer resources and stronger organizational power.
The Bohai people who lived in the Bohai Peninsula began to expand outward when their strength reached the peak.
To the west was the powerful Tang Empire, which was also at its peak at that time, so the Bohai people could only go north to compete with the Sile Kingdom for control of the Black Forest.
The Sile Kingdom's eastward expansion plan was stalled, and it turned its attention to dealing with the Bohai people's invasion.
The two sides have been fighting in the Black Forest for many years, and the Tang Dynasty seems to be willing to see the consumption of the two countries. At least at that time, the Datang Empire just turned a blind eye and allowed the two countries to fight over the Black Forest.
In the dispute between the two countries, although the Bohai people once conquered a large area of the black forest, the Sile Kingdom would come back every time and recapture the lost areas. This has been a back-and-forth for more than ten years, with the Sile Kingdom losing its share due to internal struggles.
For three, the Bohai people took advantage of the situation and captured a large area in the eastern part of the Black Forest.
It’s just that the tribes in the forest are extremely tough, and the Buliuda tribe that split from the Xile Kingdom is still not weak, and is better at fighting in the forest than the Bohai people. The two sides continued to fight for several years, and in the end they were exhausted, and the Bohai people
Although people could not continue to attack westward, Bu Liuda was unable to conquer the lost territory.
Since then, the Black Forest has been divided into two parts, becoming the East Forest and the West Forest respectively.
After long negotiations, the two countries finally reached a peace agreement and stopped fighting.
Donglin still belongs to the territory of Buliuda in name, but the tribes of Donglin have actually become vassals of the Bohai people. They need to pay taxes to Bohai every year. Bohai also sends troops and horses to station in Donglin, build fortresses, and even send
Official governance attempts to completely digest Donglin and fully integrate it into the Bohai territory.
After taking control of Donglin, the Bohai people's confidence was shaken and they began to harass the northeastern border of the Tang Dynasty. However, this led to disaster, and the most glorious Eastern Expedition of Emperor Wu in the history of the Tang Dynasty began.
After Bohai was conquered, Bu Liuda tore up the peace treaty and quickly recovered a large area of lost land while Bohai was conquered by the Tang Dynasty. Bohai retreated in the Black Forest until Yuan Gaijian unified Bohai and began to make a comeback, taking out the peace treaty of the year.
The division famously launched an offensive to the north.
Bu Liuda's rule over the tribes in Donglin was no more relaxed than that of the Bohai people, and Bohai still had a foundation in Donglin. With both kindness and power, he had encroached on a large area of Donglin's territory in just a few years.
Fortunately, Bu Liuda had a very close relationship with the Liaodong Army.
After Emperor Wuzong conquered the Bohai Sea, all the surrounding tribes sent envoys to submit to the Tang Dynasty and took the initiative to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Buliuda was one of them. After all, surrendering to the Tang Dynasty would not only protect them from the military attack of the Tang Dynasty.
, and being able to trade with the Tang Dynasty, and even be able to get envoys from the Tang Dynasty to mediate when disputes arise, naturally the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The Andong Protectorate actually became the place where the Tang Dynasty interacted with the surrounding tribes. As the Liaodong Army gradually gained the real power to control the Northeast, the surrounding tribes naturally respected the Liaodong Army.
Bu Liuda not only had to guard against the offensives of He Gu and Zhen Yu, but also had to deal with the pressing pressure of the Bohai people. In order to get the protection of the Liaodong Army, Bu Liuda got very close to the Liaodong Army in private, and waited until Wang Xingchao sat on the throne.
After taking the position of general, Bu Liuda secretly paid a lot of money to please him. This relationship was once very hidden and was not even known to many people. Because of this, the Liaodong Army cooperated with Bu Liuda in a good show to deceive
Zhenyu attacked Buliuda, but was ambushed in the end, while the Liaodong Army sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, causing Zhenyu to suffer heavy losses, and both towers died in the battle.
Now among the three troops of Xile, Bu Liuda is a die-hard ally of the Liaodong Army.
Unlike the other two tribes, which refer to their leaders as Khans, Buliuda controls the birthplace of the Sile Kingdom and regards itself as the only orthodox inheritance of the Sile Kingdom. Therefore, the leader of Buliuda is called Shanyu to distinguish him from the other two tribes.
The tribes were different, and under the Chanyu, there were two great men named Donglin Khan and Xilin Khan.
This is to show to the world that the leaders of the Chanyu Khans, Zhenyu Khan and Hegu Khan are inferior to Bu Liuda Chanyu in terms of status.
The Donglin Khans of all dynasties came from the Bu Liuda tribe and must be blood relatives of the Chanyu. They were always appointed by the Chanyu. The reason is very simple. The most powerful undead army in Buliuda was commanded by Donglin Khan.
As long as the Undead Army is firmly in hand, the Buliuda Clan's status will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Xilin Khan is Shanyu's think tank. Although he does not have military power, he can obtain a large fiefdom and assist Chanyu in handling tribal affairs. He is also a powerful figure. This position is negotiated by the tribal assembly and obtained by all tribes.
The leaders jointly recommend.
Although nearly half of the Black Forest is occupied by the Bohai people, the Buliuda tribe still controls the vast East Forest. In this vast forest, a forest farm is specially designated. No one is allowed to enter this forest farm for hunting.
Just because this is a hunting ground specially provided for Buliuda Shanyu to hunt.
The tribes in the forest started by hunting, and everyone from top to bottom, young and old, are good at archery. People's evaluation of Buliuda people is very simple, that is, they are natural archers.
Buliuda people are proud to be good at archery, and whether a Chanyu can be respected by everyone, the first condition is whether his archery skills are superb. If the Chanyu's archery skills are excellent, he can be respected by him
Be more majestic, otherwise it will be easy for everyone in the tribe to laugh at you and your majesty will be weakened.
Therefore, throughout the generations, Bu Liuda Chanyu began to learn archery from an early age. Just like the emperors of the Central Plains who needed to learn how to govern their country, Chanyu must make himself the strongest archer among his tribe.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow shot out like a meteor, hitting a wild boar in the vital part. After the wild boar was hit by the arrow, it became extremely ferocious. It tried its best to rush towards the archer, and then two consecutive arrows were fired. The wild boar finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
On the ground.
Several warriors in leather outfits held scimitars and approached. Seeing that the wild boar was still breathing, they stepped forward to hold it down. Amidst a burst of cheers, the young archer who shot the wild boar handed the bow and arrow to the man next to him.
The guard walked over quickly, pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist as he walked, knelt down on one knee next to the wild boar, and stabbed the wild boar's vitals with one knife. When the wild boar stopped moving, he cut it off cleanly.
A section of the wild boar's snout raised its arms, and another burst of cheers sounded.
At this moment, who can not cheer for Tado?
Shanyu Buliudalou, who was over sixty years old, was surrounded by a group of guards, wearing a fur hat and a tiger skin skirt around his waist, staring at his heir expressionlessly.
Cutting off the nose of prey is a tradition of Buliuda people.
Go into battle and fight with the enemy. After killing the enemy, cut off his nose and put it into a leather bag on his waist. After the war, those noses are not only a symbol of glory, but also a certificate for receiving rewards.
Tatu walked up to the Chanyu in six steps, knelt down on one knee, crossed his arms and saluted, then held the boar's snout in both hands and presented it to the Chanyu.
Tatu's face was full of pride, but Shanyu didn't look very surprised. Instead, he frowned and looked a little ugly, and did not accept Tatu's gift.
Suddenly, Chan Yu clenched the whip in his hand and swung it towards Tadu. Everyone around him was shocked, and Tadu also changed his color, but he did not move or dodge.
The whip was struck on Tatu's head. Although he did not use all his strength, a blood mark appeared on Tatu's forehead.
"Chanyu...!" An old man in his fifties next to Shanyu said anxiously: "Please Shanyu not to be angry."
"Do you feel honored?" Shanyu stared at Tatu and said coldly: "Do you know what mistakes you have made?"
Tadu was a little confused and just lowered his head.
But Shanyu looked at the guard holding the Tatu longbow not far away, and stretched out his hand. The guard hurriedly stepped forward and presented the longbow. Shanyu took the longbow. Although he was old, his movements were...
Very quickly, he took a sharp arrow from the arrow box carried by a guard at the side, bent the bow, drew the bowstring, and aimed the arrow at Bu Liuda Zhang, who was kneeling in front of him.
Everyone was horrified and changed their color.
"Your enemy is not completely dead." Shan Yu said: "As long as he is still breathing, you should not abandon your bow and arrow."
As soon as these words came out, Tado finally understood.
After he shot the wild boar, he was very excited and threw the long bow to the guard. He stepped forward with a short knife, stabbed the wild boar to death and cut off its nose.
Shanyu's meaning is very clear, wild boars are equal to enemies on the battlefield.
Although the three arrows were all fired successfully and hit the vital part of the wild boar, the wild boar did not die. In this case, you should not abandon the bow in a hurry.
"I swear an oath to the gods." Tado raised his head and said solemnly: "As long as my enemy is still breathing, I will never put down my bow and arrows, and I will never make such a mistake again."
After hearing the words, the Chanyu's expression softened and he slowly retracted his bow. Then he handed the bow and arrows to his men. He stretched out his hand and was about to take the boar's nose, but he heard an anxious cry from behind: "Chanyu, Chanyu...
..!”
Chanyu was very calm. He took the boar's snout and put it directly into the leather bag on his waist. Then he turned around and saw several people approaching. When they got close, they all knelt down on one knee and crossed their arms across their chests in salute.
, one person said respectfully: "Chanyu, the general of Liaodong sent an envoy to ask for an audience. He is waiting at the camp. Xilin Khan is accompanying him."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but Shanyu calmed down and said, "How many people did the envoy bring?"
"A crowd of dozens of people." His subordinates reported: "A large cart was pulled over, and the cart was filled with boxes."
The old man who had just persuaded Shan Yu said: "Chan Yu, it seems that the Liaodong Army has something to ask us to handle."
"Go back to the camp." Chanyu said nothing nonsense and led everyone back to the camp.
The camp was set up in an open space outside the forest. It was hundreds of miles away from the Buliuda Khan tent. It was just a temporary camp. The envoy of the Liaodong Army was not waiting in the Khan tent, but came directly to meet him. He must have
Very anxious.
Back at the camp, Tadu followed Shan Yu directly to the big tent in the center of the camp. He saw four or five carriages parked outside the tent. There were several large boxes on each carriage, but he didn't know what was inside the boxes.
What is installed.
Surrounding the vehicle were soldiers in Tang army uniforms. There were forty or fifty of them, but they looked quite lazy, and they were whispering in small groups.
Before Shan Yu entered the big tent, he saw several people filing out of a tent not far away. Shan Yu just nodded slightly and went into the tent. The towers followed him. Soon, they saw Xilin Khantu
Luo He led the two Tang envoys into the big tent, and together they saluted Shan Yu who had already sat down.
