The five hundred and ninety-eighth section of the military minister's decision
In the early morning of the next day, while the military officials were still sleeping, suddenly, there was a noise outside.
The military minister immediately jumped up and touched the short knife he placed next to his pillow.
As the Chanyu of the Xiongnu, the first reaction of the military officials was: What fool can't think of rebelling again!
Internal coup is an eternal story of the Xiongnu.
Almost every generation of Chanyu will encounter him at least seven or eight times.
Some of these coups were long-planned coups launched by the royal court's internal nobles, but most were desperate attacks launched by tribes who could not bear the oppression and exploitation of the Huns.
This is what will inevitably happen due to the tradition of the Xiongnu.
As we all know, the Xiongnu royal court migrated in pursuit of water and grass as the seasons changed.
The entire royal court has tens of thousands of cavalry and hundreds of thousands or even millions of livestock.
This terrifying migratory group chases the green grass on the grassland.
Wherever they passed, they ate up all the plants along the way, drank up the fresh water in the lakes, and left a mess for the local tribes.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
In the past few decades, countless tribes who were oppressed and exploited by the Xiongnu and forced into desperate situations launched various attacks out of desperation.
As for all this, the Huns are optimistic about the success.
The Huns Empire used this method to eliminate and cut off those tribes that were threatening and disrespectful to them.
Therefore, the Xiongnu royal court had long been accustomed to facing similar turmoil and coups.
As soon as the military minister stood up, dozens of his close personal guards opened the tent door one after another and entered the tent to protect the military minister.
"What's going on?" the military official asked his personal guard captain.
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, it seems that there is a problem with the Wusun people..." A warrior who was responsible for patrolling outside the tent knelt down and replied.
"Plowing the plow in Gutu, the Wusun people ran away!"
Before the military officials could say anything, a nobleman hurriedly entered the account and reported.
"The Wusun people ran away?" The military minister held the handle of the knife and was furious: "Call Zuoxian King to see me!" In just an instant, the military minister made a decision.
The Wusun people actually ran away!
This means that Wusun Kunmo Liejiaomi rejected his proposal and was unwilling to contribute to the prosperity of the Xiongnu Empire.
The disobedience of the Wusun people is obvious.
In this regard, the Huns had only one choice: war!
The overlord on the grassland will never tolerate something like this happening!
Otherwise, hegemony will collapse quickly like dominoes.
The military minister already knew that at this moment, he was facing the biggest challenge since the elimination of King Youxian's group.
If it is not handled well, not only the hegemony of the Huns Empire will be challenged. Even his own head will not be saved!
The ambitious nobles in the country and the remnant forces of King Youxian will never let go of such a good opportunity!
Therefore, the military officials almost immediately said: "Send someone to tell Kunxie, and Baiyang will take the head of King Xianbei, make it into a wine vessel, and send it to Chang'an to tell the Emperor of the Han Dynasty that this Shanyu values the Han-Hungarian Treaty."
, those who break the treaty between Han and Hungary will be treated like Xianbei, who will be killed without mercy!"
Wusun is already a quasi-enemy.
Then, the Han Dynasty in the south must be appeased.
How did the mighty Donghu Empire fall?
Military officials will never forget!
It was the Xiongnu and Yuezhi who attacked from both sides, causing them to fight on two fronts. They were unable to take care of both the head and the tail, and their strength was dispersed.
Otherwise, with the power of the Huns at that time, even if Maodun Shan came down to earth as a god and could move mountains and seas, he would not be able to reverse the situation!
The same was true for the Yueshi's defeat.
Wusun and the Xiongnu attacked from both sides, and they were attacked from both sides.
With these two examples, no matter how stupid the military ministers were, they still knew that they had to appease the Han Dynasty first.
You know, the people who are enemies with the Xiongnu now are not the Dawan people, the Dingling people, or the Fuyu people!
That's Wusun!
Wusun Kunmo Liejiaomi was the adopted son of Maodun Daichanyu and the adopted brother raised by his elder Shanyu himself. This man knew the organizational structure, military deployment and combat methods of the Xiongnu very well.
What's even more frightening is that Lie Jiaomi still has a mysterious aura surrounding him. When the Yuezhi invaded Wusun's hometown in Kunxie Land and killed almost all the Wusun nobles, the former Wusun Kun Mo Nan died.
, only one minister escaped from the siege with the infant Xie Jiaomi.
On the way to escape, the minister was alone and unable to support himself. He had no choice but to hide his hunting pride in the grass and go out to find food by himself.
When he came back, the courtier was surprised to find that his young master was lying in the grass. There was a she-wolf suckling him, and a crow taking fresh meat in his mouth and feeding him.
So he thought he was protected by the gods and took him thousands of miles to join the Huns.
When the great Chanyu of Maodun heard about this story, he also believed that Liejiaomi was blessed by the gods, so he adopted Liejiaomi as his adopted son and raised him by his side.
for education.
Therefore, after Wusun became independent, the trend of worshiping and believing in the wolf god began in its country.
The wolf and the crow have become the totems and sacred objects of Wusun's faith. They are highly respected and must not be harmed.
The royal family of Wusun all have the habit of carving a wolf head on their chests as a symbol of being the descendants of the wolf god.
Even many Huns accepted and recognized this setting, believing that Liejiaomi was the son of God and had the blessing of the gods.
Under such circumstances, the Han Dynasty must be appeased.
No matter how arrogant the military minister is, he does not believe that he can face challenges in two directions at the same time.
In order to appease the Han Dynasty and not to cause trouble in the south, the head of a Xianbei slave was naturally insignificant.
At the same time, the head of the Xianbei King was made into a wine vessel and sent to the Han Dynasty. It was also a deterrent. At the beginning, the old Shanyu defeated the Yuezhi and made the king's head into a wine vessel. This achievement was written down in
The letter of credence given to Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty not only boasted about the power of the Xiongnu, but also discouraged the Han people from challenging the Xiongnu.
In the second year, the Han-Hungarian peace treaty and alliance were formally established, and Han-Hungarian relations entered an era of mutual recognition and recognition.
However, the poor Xianbei King probably didn't even know that he was about to die.
However, except for the Xianbei people, I am afraid no one would have the slightest opinion on this.
In this world, being weak itself is a sin, and being enslaved by others is even more sinful.
Therefore, after making this decision, the military officials were too lazy to take care of this matter anymore.
Just killing a slave, what's the big deal?
Without genocide, the Xianbei people should kneel down and kowtow to him.
At this moment, all the thoughts of the military officials were focused on how to defeat Wusun. Yes, it was defeat, not destruction.
What the military officials need is a Wusun who is obedient, obedient, and will work hard for him.
Rather than a destroyed Wusun.
This is not a matter of the military officials having any special feelings for Wusun.
Rather, the price of destroying Wusun is too high.
To defeat him and make him surrender, all the Xiongnu needed might be just a large-scale armed parade and a display of muscles.
But to destroy Wusun, at least 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry must die.
And what is the population of the entire Huns? (To be continued.)
