On this day, early in the morning, the military officials, as usual, performed the daily obligatory devout worship in front of the rising sun.
The Huns believed in and respected the heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars, and regarded them as gods and worshiped them.
As a Chanyu, it is a daily necessity to worship the sun and the moon at night.
At the same time, it is also a way to strengthen the divine power of Shanyu.
According to the Xiongnu tradition, the ceremony of worshiping the sun will last about a quarter of an hour.
During this process, nothing is allowed to interfere.
Therefore, on the grassland around the military officials, there was a large group of Hun nobles prostrate.
They are waiting for the moment when the Shanyu ceremony ends.
Finally, the military minister's worship ceremony was completed. He bowed to the rising sun for the last time, and then stood up.
The military officials faced north and stood with their hands behind their backs.
Standing facing the north was a privilege that only superiors could have in the Xiongnu.
The nobles who were lying on the ground lowered their heads even deeper when they saw this situation, and their foreheads were deeply pressed into the soil.
At this time, suddenly, bursts of noise came from the distance.
This made the military officials extremely unhappy.
He turned around and asked softly: "What's going on? Lieutenant Zuo, how do you manage the army?"
Lieutenant Zuo was a man who hung a copper ring of at least three ounces on his nose. His stature was shorter than that of the military ministers, but he had a wide-eyed face, a full beard, and a strip of hair on the back of his head.
A very neatly braided braid. If there are future generations here, they may think that this person is a monster born from the cross between a Predator and a Minotaur.
In fact, Captain Zuo of the Huns was indeed a monster.
As the closest and most trusted subordinate of the military officials, Lieutenant Zuo Huyandangtu had the blood of countless people on his hands.
His account is filled with all kinds of 'art'.
The owners of these "arts of art" were at least the masters of one department or even the king of a country during their lifetime.
As a member of the Huyan clan, one of the three noble surnames of the Huns, Huyan Dangtu’s life experience is extremely legendary.
Legend has it that Hu Yanxie, Huyan Dangtu's father, captured Huyan Dangtu's mother in an unknown small tribe when he followed his old master Shanyu to crusade against the remnants of the Yuezhi.
Then, when the army marched near the territory of the Yuezhi people, he was born.
Originally, according to tradition, Huyan had to die when he was slaughtered.
The Huns would kill any child who was not 100% sure to be of their own blood.
It was the old Shanyu who saved Huyan Dangtu.
It is said that at that time, the Xiongnu army marched straight into the Yuezhi territory. One night, the army was stationed next to a lake.
That night, there were dark clouds and there was no moon.
This made the old Shanyu feel very uneasy.
The Huns believed that the moon guided their wars.
In the past thousands of years, the Huns always launched wars when the moon was strong and retreated when the moon was waning.
The Huns could not get used to nights without moonlight.
When the old Shanyu was patrolling along a stream next to the lake, he suddenly heard a loud cry of a baby. At the same time, at this time, the dark clouds covering the moon just dispersed, allowing the moonlight to scatter on the grassland.
The old Shang Shanyu thought this was a good omen and intervened forcefully to prevent the "purity of the clan" within the Huyan clan.
And named the lucky baby boy ‘Dangtu’.
The word Tu means river and lake in the Xiongnu language.
Dangtu means a man who happens to be born next to a river.
Although Shanyu came to save his life, Huyan Dangtu's life was saved.
But his status has never changed in any way because of Chanyu's background.
The men of the Huyan clan, including his father, regarded him as an "unclean bastard". Although they were forced to execute him directly due to Shanyu's orders.
However, all kinds of abuse and being treated like a pig or dog were as commonplace as Huyan Dangtu's life before he was ten years old.
He is tenacious and lives like a weed.
Until one day, the old Shang Shanyu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have named a certain Huyan boy.
So, the old Shang Shanyu summoned Huyan Dangtu on a whim.
Then for some unknown reason, it may be that the old Shanyu is bored, but it is more likely to be the version that is circulating privately in Shanyu's court: the old Shanyu does not want to see the internal unity as solid as iron.
There are three major clans: Huyan, Lan and Xubu.
Anyway, after that summons, the old superior Shanyu placed Huyan Dangtu next to the then King Zuoxian, now the Shanyu military minister, and loyally helped the military minister clear out his murders all the way like a loyal dog.
enemy.
Today, the original "unclean one" of the Huyan clan has become one of the few people at the top of the Xiongnu power pyramid.
Among the artworks he collected, there were even some important figures from the Huyan clan.
He is cruel, ruthless, and callous, and even feeds on human flesh and drinks human blood as wine.
He is the most trustworthy sharp knife for military officials.
At this moment, instead of punishing Huyan Dangtu, the military officials were taking the opportunity to improve Huyan Dangtu's status to a higher level.
The position of General Zuo, which has always been controlled by the Lan family, has been wanted by the military officials for a long time.
Although Huyan Dangtu looked extremely rude, he was actually very clever. When he heard the words, he immediately knelt down and said: "Great Gutu, please punish me for my mistakes!"
The other Xiongnu nobles looked at the double act performed by the monarch and his ministers, and some of the dark ones even slandered in their hearts that this was a drama planned by the military ministers and Huyan Dangtu.
But the facts soon showed these guys that they were thinking too much.
A Hun nobleman wearing leather armor ran over from afar quickly. Without time to breathe, he knelt down in front of the military officials and cried: "Great Gutu, the envoy sent by King Ri Zhu to Wusun has just returned. They
Brought bad news!"
"The noble Luotang family, the second son of the invincible King Zhelan, the eagle named 'Wuli' by the gods in front of the heaven, earth, sun and moon, has returned to the embrace of the ancestors of Longcheng!"
"Wuli was shamefully killed by the Wusun people!" The nobleman sobbed: "The Wusun people cut off Prince Wuli's head and inserted it on a wooden stake. They also cut off Prince Wuli's head.
The skull has mercury poured into it..."
Even the military officials were a little stunned.
Aloof?
The military ministers had some impression that they were of the bloodline of Maodun Shanyu's younger brother.
As of today, it actually has little to do with Shan Yuyi.
However, as the head of the Luotang family, any man named Luantang is precious.
At this moment, the soldier's chest was completely buried in anger.
He roared loudly: "The Wusun people actually dare to kill a noble prince of the Luotang clan. This is the most shameful betrayal and sneak attack on the Huns. I will kill every man in Wusun and kill them."
Cut off his head and make it into a wine vessel to worship and comfort Prince Wuli’s spirit in heaven!”
But inside, the military officials almost jumped for joy.
Wuli was the envoy sent to Wusun by the Muyan clan.
Now that he is dead, the nobles within Longcheng and the Xiongnu can no longer stop him from completely annihilating Wusun.
This Wu Li died well! He died in seconds!
As for whether someone framed her?
Does it matter?
In the autumn and August of the second year of Yuande, the Huns envoy was killed by Wusun. The Shanyu was angry and sent out an army of 140,000 troops with a number of 300,000. He joined the troops of 34 countries in the Western Region and surrounded Wusun on the bank of the Yilie River. - Historical Records.
