The first thousand three hundred and seventeenth chapter split the Huns
Just when the officials of the Han family in Weiyang Palace were extremely excited and excited.
Thousands of miles away, in the Xiongnu tent at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, there was a different scene.
The military minister's eyebrows were almost wrinkled.
And his noble ministers all looked dejected.
In the past few days, they have had more and more bad news.
First, the cavalry on the grassland encountered countless broken troops running from the direction of Shanggu. These broken soldiers confirmed the news that Yishi was dead, and also brought news about the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
In the words of these panicked soldiers, the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty simply transformed into gods.
They are omnipotent, unstoppable, and irresistible.
King Yougu Li's headquarters was smashed into pieces by these terrifying cavalry.
Other tribes fled in panic, but to no avail.
Someone witnessed with their own eyes that the Han Dynasty people built a huge Jingguan in the direction of Nuqi.
This news was only circulated among the nobles at first, but now, even the slaves below know it.
The entire Xiongnu army, up and down, was in panic.
Countless small tribes demanded to retreat immediately and run as far as they could before the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty arrived.
Some people have even started running away.
In the past three days, various Xiongnu tribes have captured thousands of people who escaped.
As for those who were not caught and escaped quietly, only a genius knows!
Such changes directly led to the failure of King Xia's proposal.
No fool wants to stay and end the marriage, everyone just wants to run away.
Especially the nobles in Munan, they even claimed that if they did not withdraw their troops, the army might mutiny!
This is already a naked threat and intimidation!
Although the military officials were extremely angry, there was nothing they could do against these guys.
Because he didn't dare to punish them severely.
In this southern invasion, although the Makunan tribe was not the main force, they were only doing logistical support and soy sauce work.
But their number cannot be underestimated.
There are at least 70,000 of them, including 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry.
If you offend them, they will immediately rebel and start fighting among themselves.
The army of the military ministers, let alone retreat, is blessed by God if they can return to the grassland intact.
For the military ministers, the only good news now is probably that his army has begun to evacuate from the direction of Yaoyang in accordance with King Xia's plan.
The first batch of three thousand cavalry had even withdrawn to the grassland.
This made the military officials feel a little more at ease.
but……
"Zuo Danghu!" The military minister asked, looking at his cronies who were demoted to the rank of Ten Thousand Cavalry Commander due to their disastrous defeat in the Battle of Gaoque, but who had recently been promoted to Huyan Dangtu of Zuo Danghu by military officials.
Said: "Why is the evacuation speed so slow? When I went south, within one day, 50,000 riders broke into the Han territory from all directions!"
Now, when the divine cavalry and the main force of the Han Dynasty rush to the battlefield at any time, the military officials wish they had wings and could fly out of the grassland.
However, the evacuation speed was so slow that he jumped.
In the past three days or so, only half a million of his army had withdrawn from Han territory.
The other half thousand riders who were originally planned to have evacuated to the grassland are still trekking between Rushui and the mountains of Yanshan, and sometimes they cannot even walk a hundred miles in a day.
This is simply unacceptable to military officials!
But Huyan Dangtu was full of complaints.
He stepped out of the queue and said respectfully: "Da Shan Yu Rongzhen: When our army marched, we marched down the river and were condescending. But now to evacuate, we need to climb over mountains and ridges, and many times we even have to walk!"
This is also the geographical characteristic of Yanji's generation.
In this area bordering the grassland and the Han Dynasty, the Yanshan Mountains move northward and begin to rise between Zuoyang and Shipi. The orogeny tens of millions of years ago left undulating mountains and mountains in this area.
The hills also left meandering rivers.
On the grassland side, the Mongolian Plateau also began to rise.
When the Huns came down from the Mongolian Plateau, they were naturally in a condescending position and had a smooth journey, which was very conducive to their advance.
But when retreating, they migrated from the lowlands to the highlands.
The difficulty of this is self-evident.
You only need to know that the altitude here in Yuyangsai is about one hundred to two hundred meters, but in Xilin Gol, the altitude has generally reached one thousand meters.
The difference between the two is more than 800 meters.
The uplift of the Yanshan Mountains has caused ruggedness and hardship, which is enough to make people despair!
And this is why the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even the Yan Kingdom, built the Zaoxiang Defense Line here.
It's a pity that the Huns didn't know this, so they are now suffering a big loss.
Moving from low altitude to high altitude not only makes people tired, but also may cause various accidents.
The military ministers just want to run away with their main force now, so why should they care about the reasons why Huyan should be slaughtered?
He snorted coldly and scolded: "I don't care what method you use, this Shanyu. In short, within two days, you must get all the forwards and livestock out of the fortress!"
This time the Huns invaded, and the military officials brought at least one million livestock.
Although more than half of these livestock remained on the grasslands, military ministers still brought two to three hundred thousand of them into the Han Dynasty, using the milk, bones and flesh of these animals as military rations.
Later, in order to break through the Han army's defense line, military ministers successively brought in hundreds of thousands of livestock.
These days, the number of these animals that have died of illness or been slaughtered is close to 50,000 to 60,000.
Naturally, the military officials would not and could not leave the remaining 300,000 to the Han army.
However, the retreat of such a huge herd of livestock is several times more troublesome than the retreat of people!
Because humans are smart and can understand commands, but animals don't care about this.
It is precisely because of the drag of these livestock that the evacuation speed of the soldiers and ministers' troops is so slow.
When Huyan Dangtu heard this, he lowered his head. He knew very well that the orders of the military officials were no longer flexible.
He understood better that if he couldn't do it, then the military officials would definitely use his head to sacrifice the flag, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "As ordered!"
"Send someone to tell King Zuogu Li that he must clear the way for this Shanyu..." The military minister emphasized: "No matter what method he uses, this Shanyu must clear the way!"
A few days ago, the army of Hu Lushe, King of Left Valley Li, had actually opened up the transportation between Yuyang County and Youbeiping.
But unfortunately, this passage was closed four days ago as a Han Dynasty cavalry joined the battlefield.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for the Huns to retreat now.
They could no longer follow the river into Youbeiping County and then return to the grassland through Youbeiping, so they had to retreat along the same route.
This is simply unacceptable to today's military ministers.
He needs this passage just in case!
…………………………
While the military ministers were discussing with their nobles, the tribal leaders and nobles from all over the Xiongnu military camp also found opportunities to gather together in twos and threes to discuss issues.
Maybe the military officials will run away with the main force of the royal court?
This is no longer a secret among the various tribes now.
If Shan Yuting's prestige and ruling methods hadn't frightened these people for a long time, they would have jumped up now.
Even so, they are already very restless now.
"I have long said not to invade south, but the Chanyu just didn't listen..." A nobleman complained angrily: "It's better now. I have been going south for so long and haven't grabbed anything! Not only that, I also suffered heavy losses...
I think the Huns will be finished sooner or later!"
"That's it..." Another noble nodded in agreement: "If you don't rob the west, you have to rob the south. Is the south easy to mess with? There are less than ten thousand Han cavalry, and ten thousand are invincible! The Han cavalry we are facing now
More than 10,000? In my opinion, at least 40,000 to 50,000!"
"Moreover, the chariot generals and divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty are coming soon..."
"Once the main force of the Han Dynasty arrives, even if we want to withdraw, I'm afraid we won't be able to..."
Countless people are sad, unhappy and upset.
And these people are actually still loyal ministers of the various tribes of the Huns.
Because, at least they are not the same as the tribes in Munan...
"The military minister is such a foolish king, we can no longer let him be a chanyu..." King Quluo, who has guarded the Munan area for generations, said to his old friend Diao Pi: "We must make changes!"
Diao Bi heard this and nodded seriously.
The Makunan tribe is no longer angry with military ministers for a day or two.
Ever since the military ministers launched a coup, bloodbathed Shan Yuting, killed King Youxian, and exiled a large number of southern invaders, the Makunan clan had been very unhappy with Shan Yuting.
But at that time, I was just unhappy.
Everyone did not dare to reveal it, so they could only pretend to be grandsons and secretly support Yin Zhixie in playing opposite to the military ministers.
But now, the Makunan clan can't stand it anymore!
The military officials suffered repeated defeats in front of the Han Dynasty, which had made the nobles in Munan furious.
Especially in the eyes of King Quluo and Diaobi, all the problems in the Xiongnu Empire are caused by the military ministers!
This foolish king and tyrant is nothing but a waste!
Moreover, after this defeat, both King Quluo and Diaobi knew that Munan would probably fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty soon.
These nobles would most likely have no choice but to follow the military officials and retreat to Hexi and Tokugawa.
But the problem is that if you go to Hexi and Mubei, who do they count?
I'm afraid it's nothing!
All power, wealth, and territory will say goodbye to me.
How can I bear this?
We must kill the military ministers, and then establish a chanyu who is willing to lead the entire Xiongnu army to continue fighting in Munan and the Han Dynasty!
"I have contacted the left captain Xubu Dangtu and the right captain Hulan Zheye, and also sent someone to tell King Zuo Guli..." Qu Luo said: "As soon as our attack is successful, we will immediately
Please invite King Zuo Guli to take over the throne!"
Hu Lushe, King of Zuogu Li, was one of the four pillars of the Xiongnu. Although he was not a clan member, he at least had the right to inherit as a Chanyu.
After killing the military minister, of course, he is the most suitable candidate!
The left captain, Xubu Dangtu, and the right captain, Hulan Zheye, respectively control part of the royal court's guards. With their cooperation, the possibility of the coup's success will be greatly increased!
……………………
However, unlike King Quluo, Diaobi and others, some other Munan nobles were fed up with both the military officials and the Huns.
"I have sent envoys to Yuyangsai and Jicheng of the Han Dynasty to negotiate with the nobles of the Han Dynasty..." In the darkness, a thick and short figure whispered: "Once the Han Dynasty is willing to accept it, I will
Anyway..."
"How do you choose?" The man looked at the nobles around him.
These people, like him, are not part of the Huns themselves, and they don't even need other tribes.
In the past, when the Huns were powerful, of course they were willing to be their dogs.
But now, the Huns came out in full force, but they were unable to break through the Han Dynasty's broken defense line and defend the city for a full month, unable to break through or advance even half a step.
In their eyes, such a Hun Empire could no longer be trusted.
Of course everyone needs to find a new master before this ship sinks.
Who better to master than the current Han Dynasty?
Moreover, these nobles have been secretly flirting with the Han Dynasty over the years.
The changes in the Han Dynasty could not be hidden from them.
Everyone knows how the troubled life of Zaoyang Lou was going.
Since the Han Dynasty can solve everyone's food and clothing problems and is so powerful, do you still need to think about how to choose?
Several other nobles looked at each other and nodded: "Of course we are willing to submit to the great Emperor Han!"
Some people even said proudly: "I have been serving the Emperor of the Han Dynasty a few years ago... I have made meritorious service for the Emperor..." As he said this, he also took out a notebook, which is the Han family's embroidered clothing guard.
The certificate issued proves that this person has helped Xiu Yiwei.
But this person was not happy for a long time. Others smiled and took out an identical thing and waved it in their hands: "You are not the only one who has this thing..."
"We all have them too..."
"Hey hey hey..."
In fact, in the past two or three years, who among the tribes has not had private contact with the Han Dynasty?
The embroidered guards of the Han Dynasty even moved openly in the territories of certain tribes, and no one took care of them!
In the past two years, the Han Dynasty redeemed its subjects on a large scale, and these people also contributed.
Of course, at that time, they were helping in the name of gold and silk, and later, they slowly began to serve and inform the Han Dynasty as a retreat.
And now, they are finally completely disappointed with the Huns!
…………………………………………
The Qilian Mountains are the most sacred mountain of the Xiongnu!
This is the core of the Xiongnu's Hexi Corridor territory and the most important economic lifeline of the Xiongnu.
For the Huns, no place in this world is more important than the Qilian Mountains.
The glaciers of the Qilian Mountains and the pastures at the foot of the mountains are the most important resources they rely on to survive and reproduce here.
But at this time, this sacred mountain of the Huns was filled with rivers of blood and corpses littered the fields.
Carrying a butcher's knife, Qi Qu Qing Diao Nan walked excitedly on a mountain road in the Qilian Mountains, with Zhelan cavalry guarding him on both sides.
At the end of the mountain road, dozens of desperate Xiongnu nobles rushed towards them, shouting and holding knives.
"Kill them all!" Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan gave the order coldly, and then the Zhelan cavalry swarmed up and chopped these last nobles who were loyal to the military officials into pulp.
Moreover, Qu Qediaonan licked the blood from the tip of his knife, then walked to the hillside, in front of a young Huns man who was surrounded by people, knelt down and said: "Great King Zuo Xian, these shameful rebellious and unruly people
The conspirators have been killed, slave, please ascend the throne as Shanyu immediately!" (To be continued.)
