Chapter 367 Slaughter of Xianbei

King Zuo Guli first expressed his dissatisfaction, "King You Xian is too generous to one and favors one over the other!"

King You Xian was cutting the beef in front of him with a knife while looking at King Zuo Guli.

King Zuo Guli is one of the twenty-four chiefs, second to the left and right virtuous kings. He has his own Qian Chang, Bai Chang, Shi Chang, Xiao Wang, Prime Minister, Du Wei, Du Hu, Qi Qu, etc.

The left and right kings of Guli lived in the eastern part of Hungary. Together with the left and right kings of Xian, they were collectively known as the "Four Corners", and their status was higher than that of the other princes.

King Zuo Guli originally had a lower status among the Xiongnu than King Zuo Xian.

However, due to years of war, King Zuo Xian's troops suffered the greatest losses among the Xiongnu tribes.

Therefore, in terms of actual status at this time, King Zuo Guli had surpassed King Zuo Xian.

If the Xianbei tribes obtained were divided according to King You Xian's proposal this time, King Zuo Xian's troops would probably surpass King Zuo Guli again.

King Zuo Guli was naturally unwilling to do this, so it was only natural for him to object in words.

However, King You Xian did not take King Zuo Guli seriously.

The most important thing among the Xiongnu tribes is who has the bigger fist and stronger strength.

Although King Zuo Guli was also one of the four corners, he was far behind the current King Youxian.

King Youxian owns thousands of miles of pasture and more than 100,000 horses.

Its strength is even stronger than before the Chigu war.

King Zuo Guli now only has 30,000 cavalry at most, how can he compare with this?

King You Xian looked at King Zuo Guli who was questioning him, and slowly ate the cut meat.

Then he slowly raised his glass and took a big sip of the tea smuggled from Luntai.

Then he stared into King Zuogu Li’s eyes and said, “King Zuogu Li, pay attention to your identity!”

King Zuo Guli was furious when he heard this and shouted, "King Youxian, what do you mean by this... Do you think this is your right part?"

King You Xian looked at King Zuo Guli disdainfully, "The Chanyu is the one who makes the decision here. Are you despising the Chanyu by shouting and screaming?"

When King Zuo Guli heard this, he was stunned and took it for granted. He turned his head and looked at Shan Yu and King Zuo Xian, and then sat down bitterly.

Upon seeing this, King Youxian bowed to Shanyu and said, "Chanyu is the master of my stronghold, so he should naturally get the richest spoils..."

"King Zuo Xian contributed the most in the battle between Han and Hu, and he suffered the most losses, so he should naturally get the second share of the spoils..."

"The Sun Chaser King's Division was originally the pillar of strength for me... but now it's time to rebuild..."

"The contributions of the Right School King and Ding Ling King to our Qiang Hu are well known... they should be supplemented!"

"The rest of the tribes suffered considerable losses in the war and should be supplemented... I hope Shan Yu will check it out!"

King You Xian mentioned almost everyone in his speech to Huyan Tu Chanyu, but he did not mention anything about King Zuo Guli.

This made Zuo Guli's face turn pale with anger, but King Zuo Guli did not dare to confront King You Xian.

King You Xian came this time with more than 20,000 cavalry, and they were all elite soldiers wearing armor, which was far beyond what King Zuo Guli could resist.

King Zuo Guli had no choice but to suppress his anger and asked Huyandi Chanyu to make the decision for him.

Shanyu Huyandi was not an incompetent person, so it was naturally impossible for him to distribute the spoils as King Youxian said.

If he really did this, then the one the tribes would be grateful for would not be him, the Chanyu, but King Youxian.

However, we cannot completely oppose it. After all, King Youxian is the most powerful among the tribes today. His opinions are still very important.

After Hu Yantang Shanyu thought about it for a while, he said, "What King You Xian and King Zuo Guli said are reasonable... King Zuo Xian deserves a generous reward for his hard work..."

"The right school king, Ding Ling king and other tribes should also share their benefits... Zuo Guli king's tribe should also be rewarded for their great efforts..."

After Hu Yantuan Shanyu finished speaking, Wei Lu stood up and said, "I would like to thank Shanyu for his kindness, but everything I have is given by Shanyu... Lu voluntarily gave up the spoils of war!"

Hearing this, Shanyu Hu Yantang nodded in admiration and said, "King Ding Ling is a noble and upright man, and he is indeed a model for all kings..."

In fact, Wei Lu was very noble, but he had already seen that the loot he got this time was just a hot potato.

On the surface, it seems that I have gained a lot of benefits, but it will offend King Zuo Guli.

Unlike the powerful King You Xian, Wei Lu could not afford to offend King Zuo Guli.

After Wei Lu expressed his stance, some smart little kings also expressed their willingness to give up the spoils.

The statements of these people made King Zuogu Li very happy.

His performance was noticed by Hu Yantuan Chanyu and King Youxian, and both of them secretly cursed in their hearts, "Idiot!"

King Zuo Xian saw all this, but the corners of his eyes were shining.

He thought for a moment and then said, "All the tribes have contributed in this battle, how can we not reward them... Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. Only in this way can I compete with the big man..."

What King Zuo Xian said spoke to the hearts of all the tribes, and everyone agreed with it.

Shanyu Zuo, the commander-in-chief, also said at this time, "What King Zuo Xian said is very true, and we must not chill the hearts of the tribes..."

King Yougu Li also said at this time, "The Shanyu should be clear about rewards and punishments..."

King Zuo Guli also felt that the atmosphere was not right at this time, and he was gradually isolated by the kings.

Although he had discovered something was wrong, it was already too late. At this time, he was naturally very upset, and he actually hated King Zuo Xian and King You Xian at the same time.

After everyone expressed their opinions, Hu Yantuan Chanyu finally made a decision after some thought.

This time the Huns surrendered a total of 110,000 original Xianbei tribesmen.

Shanyu Hu Yantang first gave 30,000 tribesmen and pastures in the Xianbei Mountains to King Zuoxian.

King Zuo Xian was naturally overjoyed. With these 30,000 tribesmen and new pastures, in just ten years, King Zuo Xian's tribe would have more than 40,000 cavalry, and he would once again suppress King Zuo Guli.

The second person to be rewarded was unexpectedly surprised. It was Li Ling who was not present.

This time, Hu Yantuan Chanyu directly allocated 6,000 tribes to the Jiankun tribe.

If these six thousand tribes can be completely digested, the Jiankun tribe should be ranked alongside the twenty-four chiefs.

Although Hu Yantuan Chanyu was dissatisfied with King Zuogu Li in his heart, he still rewarded King Zuogu Li for the third time.

King Zuo Guli received a total of more than 10,000 tribes this time, which was equivalent to King Youxian.

King Youguli did not send troops in this battle, so he only received a symbolic share of more than a thousand tribesmen.

As for the remaining tribes, they received between three and five thousand tribes respectively according to the number of troops sent.

The remaining 30,000 tribesmen returned to Shan Yuting.

In just half a day, the Xianbei clan, which had disturbed the Xia Dynasty for hundreds of years, disappeared into the long river of history before they even left the Xianbei Mountains.

On the other hand, after making many promises to Zhang Yue, Li Ling finally got what he wanted and gained the support of the big man.

February 23, the sixth year of the First Yuan Dynasty.

At the moment when the Parthians least expected it, the 23,000 cavalry coalition composed of Nimi, Wujiutu, Jiankun and Amcai crossed the border under the unified command of Li Ling and attacked the old Parthian capital of Nissa!
