Chapter 328 I will take you to spy on the military situation(1/2)
The prestige of the Luotang clan within the Xiongnu was not low to begin with.
If you do this when he is a hostage, you will definitely be opposed by most people.
But now, the Luotang family is no longer the Luantang family a few years ago.
A large part of the credit for the Xiongnu being what it is today must be attributed to him.
And Mr. Luantang has been preparing for this day for a long time.
In order to make his confidants completely obedient, Luotang first trained them with wild animals, and when he felt they were ready, he trained them with his own beloved horses.
When the arrow was shot at the beloved horse, some people followed suit and others shot after hesitation.
And some people didn't shoot at all, and those who didn't shoot the arrows were all pulled out and chopped by the Luotian clan.
After some time, Mr. Luantan shot his arrow at his woman again.
This time, no one hesitated at all. The woman from the Kuantan family walked quickly and thoroughly.
And these people brought by the Luantang family today are his confidants who have been training painstakingly for a long time.
Seeing Touman Chanyu being shot with arrows all over his body, he died quickly and painfully, his eyes wide open in horror.
Without even looking at it, Mr. Luantang turned around and looked at the other people in the Royal Court of Dragon City.
"From today on, I am the Great Chanyu. Do you have any objections?" Mr. Luantang looked at everyone and said with an extremely arrogant attitude.
"I am willing to follow the Great Chanyu..."
"I am willing to lead my troops to follow the Great Chanyu..."
Officials in the royal court have expressed their willingness to follow. What will happen if they don't follow at this time?
Touman Chanyu has been killed, do they still dare to say the word "objection"?
No one will feel that their life is too hard, and no one will feel that they have lived enough.
Mr. Luantang snorted coldly, as if to say that you guys are wise.
He turned to face behind him and said: "Go and call the headquarters of this Shanyu!"
Dragon City is a very special place, especially for the Xiongnu.
When the Huns were just a tribe, they lived here.
This is also the place where they offer sacrifices and pray for blessings every year. After the rise of the Xiongnu in recent years, the royal court was placed here.
Although the Xiongnu's royal court moved most of the time, this was always the location of their royal court, and it was the place they returned to every year.
Dragon City is their capital and the place where their spirits rest.
Naturally, the Luantang clan could not change this easily. Fortunately, when he set off, he ordered his troops to move quietly towards Dragon City.
It was less than three days' journey hanging behind him.
The next days, for the Luotuan family, is the time to put things in order.
Although he obtained the position of Great Chanyu by killing his father and usurping the throne, internal turmoil was certain, and it was necessary to eliminate some die-hard loyalists of Touman Chanyu.
…
It is located south of Longcheng, about eight to nine hundred miles away.
A middle-aged man was wearing an animal skin, covering himself tightly, standing on a homemade ladder, letting the wind blow and snow beat, and his hands were all red from the cold.
"Aluka, come down and rest for a while." On the ground, several men handed a wooden stick to Aluka who was standing on the ladder, and a woman urged, holding a jar wrapped in animal skin in her arms.
"Let's finish this first. The weather this year is abnormal. It's much colder than before, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier. If we don't get it done quickly, something big will happen." Aruka looked up.
Although it was very cold, I still shook my head.
"Come down first, Aluka. You have been busy up there for a long time. This damn weather can kill people." An old man stood by a fire and persuaded in a strict tone.
"It's okay. I'll do it today. I'll teach them the fixed method later in the evening. In a few days, we can all do it together and the speed will be faster." Aluka still refused softly.
"No, you have to come down. If you don't come down, you will get frostbite. Hurry, get him down!" The old man's face darkened, and he began to greet the people under the ladder.
The young man quickly got Aluka down. At this time, the woman also walked up quickly, opened the jar wrapped in animal skin in her arms and handed it to Aluka.
Aluka took the jar, hugged Gudun Gudun and drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup. His body suddenly felt warmer. He turned around and handed the jar to the others. He looked at the woman with a gentle face and said, "Go home and watch."
Boy, it’s cold in here!”
"It's not cold..." The tightly wrapped woman shook her head quickly, her thick clothes still unable to hide her happy face.
"Hey, Tana is lucky enough to be able to marry a man like Aluka..." A group of people around her became envious.
Don't think that men don't envy men. Look at a few of their women, they are all still staying in the tents.
Although everything was prepared, it was not sent out.
At the beginning, everyone looked down upon Aluka, firstly because he was a Han who escaped from the south.
Second, he would fall off even if he was riding a horse.
But later, everyone gradually changed this view.
Especially the Xiongnu women, no one I know does not envy Tana.
For Xiongnu men, women were just property and had no status.
But Aluka was different. He treated Tana very well and was very gentle. He was even willing to listen to Tana's ideas and even do things according to his ideas.
I have been in the grassland for a long time, and I have learned to ride a horse.
And Aluka's advantages gradually emerged.
Last year, a lot of the tribe's sheds collapsed, killing several people, and the cattle and sheep were also frozen to death in patches.
But the Aluka family's cattle and sheep were alive and well, so this year everyone tried to find Aluka and asked. They thought they would refuse, but unexpectedly Aluka agreed.
After I built my own shed, I quickly came over to help everyone build a shed for their cattle and sheep to spend the winter.
The principle is very simple, just use a triangular support to make a shelf, and use wooden sticks to bear the weight of the snow so that it is dispersed as much as possible. Enough support points can make the shed stronger.
There is peace in the tribe, but there are worries. Life is still very difficult and supplies are scarce.
The meat he eats is sweet, the soup he drinks is sweet, and it is either roasted or boiled in clay pots. He can only survive the winter by eating meat, but if he eats too much meat, even a prairie man will not eat it.
Digestion.
In particular, some children and the elderly are particularly prone to falling ill in winter, and a large number of them can hardly afford to get sick once they get sick.
After sending Tana away, Aluka stood by the fire to keep warm and rest like everyone else.
"I want to go south!" Aluka suddenly said.
"What are you going to the south for? Are you homesick?"
"You must have women and children in Han, right?"
"Tana will be sad, hahaha..."
A group of people suddenly laughed and joked.
Being sad or anything like that is out of the question, and monogamy doesn't apply here either.
The more women a man has, the happier the women will be.
Because this can prove the strength of men, and prairie women who have long been accustomed to being men's appendages and property may also be jealous and jealous, but in front of men, their postures are still quite upright.
Therefore, when men talk about women, they never worry about the women in the tent hearing it, let alone worrying about quarreling when they go home. They don't dare.
In this environment, men are the ones who hold up the world, are the labor force, and are the leaders.
Aluka didn't mind, it didn't matter even if Tana heard it, after all, Tana was quite considerate.
Aruka shook his head and said: "No, I heard the medical officer in the Qin Army say before that if you have too much oil and water in your stomach, you will easily get sick. When winter comes here, many people will get sick, probably just like eating meat every day.
Drinking broth has something to do with it. I plan to exchange dozens of cattle and sheep with the Han people for some grain and salt. The Han people's grain has no oil and water. If I eat it in exchange, I won't always feel full in the stomach."
"Our tribe just went to the south to scare them some time ago. Do you think they will change with us? I heard that the Han people don't seem to be that easy to deal with!" someone asked doubtfully.
Eating meat every day is not only unbearable for Aruka's family, but also for everyone.
If they could get some grain and salt back, everyone would naturally be happy.
Aluka smiled: "Try your luck. Don't forget that I escaped from the Great Wall. If you are lucky, you might be able to meet your old friends. They are not short of food, but they are short of meat.
As long as we can strike up a conversation, I should agree."
"This matter... let's talk to the leader before he comes back. If we go privately, we may be punished by the leader." The old man hesitated.
Aluka nodded and did not appear too impatient.
Fortunately, the wait did not last long. At night, just when Aluka was doing the triangle fixation with everyone, the tribal leader came back.
The leader was also very happy to hear that Aruka was helping everyone build sheds.
First, he praised Aluka, and then gave Aluka five horses, five cows and ten sheep as rewards.
It would be a great joy if the tribe could have no people or livestock crushed to death by the snow due to the collapse of their sheds in winter.
Aruka and others also took the opportunity to propose to the tribal leader the idea of going south to exchange for food and salt.
To be continued...
