The morning sun rises in the east, and the vast Juyanze is beautiful and magnificent in the sunshine.
Bathed in the nascent sunshine.
The Xiongnu Chanyu military ministers began the necessary daily sun worship ceremony.
"Great Sun God, thank you for your gift, allowing the warriors of the Great Huns to defeat Dayuan and gain its population and wealth!" The military ministers bowed to the newly born red sun and worshiped.
Then, a little pony and a whole box of gold were placed on the altar.
An old shaman took a knife, slit the throat of the colt, and poured its blood onto the gold.
The red blood, steaming, flows onto the yellow-orange gold.
Suddenly, all the nobles and warriors gave out deafening cheers: "Plough with Gutu! Support Plow with Gutu!"
The military minister stood up and waved to his subjects.
Then, he made a generous speech: "Warriors, great kings of all tribes! Thanks to the blessing of heaven and earth, and the blessing of our ancestors, we, the great Huns, have conquered the whole country of Dayuan, and obtained its land, population, wealth and livestock!"
"Next year, this Shanyu will continue to lead our invincible warriors of the Huns to continue the Western Expedition!"
"Despicable Yuezhi people! Shameful Kangju people and those thief-like Sai people!"
"This Chanyu swore to his ancestors and gods that he would destroy their royal courts, plunder their livestock, **** their women, and whip their children! Let the horse hooves of the Great Huns traverse the entire world until they reach the end of the earth.
The end!”
The military officials raised their hands and shouted: "God bless the great Huns!"
"God bless the great Huns!"
He was answered with countless cheers.
Now, most of the tribes and people in the entire Hun Empire are convinced that the West is the solution to all their problems!
Just by defeating the Dawan Kingdom, the Xiongnu obtained more than 400,000 male and female slaves.
Among them, there are more than 100,000 female slaves of appropriate age!
This means that in a few years, the Huns will have at least 200,000 new newborns!
In twenty years, the number of cavalry in the Hun Empire will increase by half!
The increase in population alone is enough to restore the Xiongnu Empire to the peak of the old Shanyu era!
What's more, countless grains, fine wines, gold, pearls and jade were plundered from Dawan.
This wealth was enough to make the foundation of the Xiongnu Empire's hegemony more solid.
At the very least, this winter, the Xiongnu headquarters, especially the tribes directly under Shan Yuting, will have a winter without hunger and sorrow.
This strengthened the morale of the Xiongnu and the gathering of people's hearts, just like a trick.
Of course, for military officials.
The biggest prize from the destruction of Dawan this time was the new and excellent horse breeds discovered in certain valleys and pastures of Dawan.
An excellent horse known as the Dawan horse.
This kind of horse can run as fast as the wind.
Moreover, it is fat and strong, and it is the best horse breed the Xiongnu has ever seen so far.
The only drawback is that these horses are too difficult to maintain and too expensive!
These horses will not eat ordinary pasture at all.
They only eat the best young grasses and the most nutritious young leaves.
Even so, using these horses as stallions to improve the war horses ridden by the Huns has been listed as the top priority of the Huns by military officials.
Of course, the Xiongnu were not unscathed in this Dawan attack.
At least 10,000 cavalrymen remained under the fortified city of Dawan forever.
Another 20,000 to 30,000 people were injured.
But military ministers would not tell others about this kind of thing.
After completing the sun worship ceremony, the military officials returned to their Shanyu's tent.
There, he met his son Yu Dan, whom he had not seen for a long time, and General Zuo Huyan Dangtu.
"My son!" As soon as they met, the military official hugged Yu Shan's body and stroked his braid lovingly: "How are you doing in Mubei?"
"Reporting to my father, Shan Yu, my son is in Mubei, and General Zuo is taking care of him. Everything is fine!" Yu Shan raised his head and said.
"Very good!" The military minister hugged Yu Dan for a while, then handed the young boy to his close confidants and asked them to take Yu Dan to play.
"Tell me, Shan Yu, what kind of wolves have been ready to attack in the past few months..." When Yu Dan walked away, the kindness and love on the faces of the soldiers and ministers disappeared completely, leaving only cruelty.
.
The military minister himself escaped countless open and secret arrows before he succeeded to the throne alive.
Of course he knew how many lunatics there were within the Xiongnu who fantasized about killing the clan and replacing them themselves!
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, those are nothing more than rats. I have already eliminated them all..." Huyan Dangtu replied with a smile, then he straightened his face and said, "I thought that the Great Chanyu
We should be more concerned about the defense of Gaoque and Yinshan..."
"There is only one Xiutu tribe and Hunxie tribe stationed there. The Baiyang and Loulan tribes that were originally responsible for assisting in defense are now disabled and the other is disabled. Once the Han Dynasty attacks, the slaves are worried that Xiutu and Hunxie tribes will
I can’t resist it!”
This is also what Huyan Dangtu is most worried about.
No one knows the importance of Hetao to them better than the Huns.
It was not only the birthplace and ancestral home of the Huns, but also the most important pasture and the largest arsenal of the Huns. It was also the core and cornerstone of the entire Muinan region of the Huns.
If you lose the Hetao, you will lose Munan.
And without the pastures in Munan, the Xiongnu Empire would decline!
At that time, the Qin people occupied Hetao.
All nomadic peoples, including the Xiongnu, "dare not go south to herd horses."
Of course the military officials also knew the importance of the Loop.
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "General Zuo's concerns are not unreasonable!"
"In this way, this Shanyu will order the Luhou tribe in Qilian Mountain and the Ruolu tribe in Mubei to go south to Hetao. The defense of Gaoque will be taken over by the Luhou tribe, and the Ziling in front of Gaoque will be handed over to the Ruolu people! At the same time,
, Aries' headquarters and Zhelan's headquarters have also returned to the Yinshan area!" The military officials made arrangements after thinking about it.
The Luhou tribe was originally a tribe living in the south of Hetao.
But during the Han-Hungarian War more than ten years ago, it was King Luhou who instigated King Youxian to attack the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, after the peace talks between the two countries, the Luhou tribe was punished and transferred away from the Hetao. They kicked down the mountainous area west of the Qilian Mountains and went to play in the mud with the Qiang people.
But when this tribe went to the local area, instead of declining, it prospered.
Its brutality and primitiveness are even more exaggerated than Zhelan's among the Xiongnu.
It's just that they don't have as good riding skills as the Zhelan people.
The strongest point of the Luhou tribe lies in their ability to move in the mountains.
They are one of the few tribes within the Xiongnu who can build forts.
Now, several important cities of the Xiongnu were built by the Luhou tribe.
For example, the core of Munan, Dragon City.
There is also Guzang City where King Xiutu currently resides.
They are all the work of the Luhou people, the Donghu tribe and other surrendered Han people.
The Luhou people dream of returning to the Hetao to catch up with old friends.
The military ministers believed that if they went to Gaoque, if the Han army attacked, the Luhou people would definitely resist and fight to the death.
As for transferring Ruolu to Hetao.
It's because the military officials are worried about this tribe.
Since last year, King Ruolu has followed King Hujie, who has now become King Youxian, jumping up and down, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
Now that the status of the military ministers is stable, they naturally have to find ways to deal with Ruolu and Hujie.
If possible, the military officials would try to deprive King Hujie of his position as the Righteous King!
The Ruolu people were thrown into Ziling, a mountainous area near Yunzhong County.
The military minister's idea is very simple.
If the Han Dynasty wanted to attack, then the Ruolu people would be the first to be attacked.
The people of the Han Dynasty would help him eliminate the Ruolu people first, and the Ruolu people would also use their own flesh and blood to give Gaoque and Yinshan an early warning.
If the Han Dynasty did not attack, there would be no loss.
Moreover, the Ruolu tribe who is bound to Ziling will be strictly monitored by Shan Yuting's cronies, the Xibei tribe, and it is impossible for them to make trouble again, let alone to hook up with the Hujie people.
After confirming this matter, the military officials felt that everything was safe.
There are four tribes in the Hetao area, and they are all the main tribes.
There are also high towers and natural dangers that can be defended.
No matter how strong the Han people were, they would not be able to capture or eat the Huns cavalry in this Hetao in less than half a year.
With this layer of layout and insurance, it can be said that the Xiongnu Hetao can sit back and relax!
The military minister was about to continue discussing other matters with Huyan Dangtu.
At this time, urgent footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.
Two Xiongnu nobles walked in, knelt on the ground in a panic, and said: "Da Shanyu, King Youxian urgently reports: Yin Zhixie's son Uwei died of illness in Lanchi..."
When the military officials heard this, they waved their hands indifferently and said, "I understand!"
"Yin Zhixie's evil bastard, die well!"
The military officials did not bother to care whether Uwei really died of illness or was poisoned by Hujie people.
All he knew was that this guy died, and he died under the supervision of the Hujie people.
No matter what the cause of death.
All good things!
However, some people don't think so.
Only a quarter of an hour later, Landosin heard the news. After hearing this, he was shocked and immediately rushed to the military ministers to ask for an audience.
As soon as they met, Landasin knelt down and said: "Great Chanyu, I heard that Prince Uwe passed away due to illness. Please Great Chanyu to hold King Youxian accountable for his inability to take care of him!"
"Huh!?" The military officials almost thought they heard wrongly.
That bastard Uwe, if he dies, he will die!
What’s all the fuss about!
The military ministers were even prepared to issue a one-ton certificate to King Youxian and his Hujie tribe.
Once Uwei dies, the forces of the Righteous King will no longer have a spiritual co-leader. In the end, they will all kneel down and surrender to him.
"Great Chanyu!" Seeing this, Lan Tuoxin was extremely anxious. He knelt on the ground and admonished: "Great Chanyu, please think about the reactions of Zuo Dadu Wei Ruohe, King Gaolin and others!"
"King Youxian has died, and Yin Zhixie has also died, but his wings are still there!" Lan Tuoxin kowtowed and said worriedly: "Now that Uwei died suddenly, the Great Chanyu did not feel sad, but felt happy, slave.
I thought this might not be a good thing!"
Zuo Dudu Wei Ruohe was the leader of the Outuo clan.
King Gaolin is the leader of the Gaolan tribe.
These are two powerful factions with more than 20,000 settlements.
And their relationship with Yin Zhixie is also very complicated.
Captain Zuo's mother was Yin Zhixie's sister, and King Gaolin's sister was once married to Yin Zhixie. To be precise, he was Uwe's maternal grandfather.
Last year Yin Zhixie died in Mayi in battle, but these people didn't say a word.
However, Landasin knew that it was not that they were silent, but that they had no way to speak.
After all, in the eyes of the Huns, dying on the battlefield and being inferior to others was deserved.
No one can find fault.
But now, Uwe suddenly died suddenly.
The thoughts of Captain Zuo and King Gaolan are worth noting.
What's more, the Yin Zhixie family has a huge influence on the entire Tokugawa clan.
Especially many small and medium-sized tribes, they have been obeying the orders of King Youxian in Lanchi for generations.
Now, the last of their master's bloodline has died inexplicably.
What are these people thinking?
If you are not careful, these tribes will become alienated or even hostile to Shan Yuting in their hearts!
Not to mention, the military officials now feel that Uwe's death is a good and wonderful death.
It will definitely anger the Outuo clan and the Gaolan clan.
Let them be alienated from Shan Yuting.
And those small and medium-sized tribes close to the Great Wall may betray the Huns out of fear, defect to the Han Dynasty, and become the Han Dynasty's lackeys!
Such examples were not uncommon in the past.
Five years ago, wasn't there an example of three tribes taking their people to the Han Dynasty?
Going back further, the Han-Hungarian War more than ten years ago was not caused by the failure of a certain Xiongnu nobleman in a political struggle and his son Zhang Ni leading thousands of his tribe across the Great Wall to seek asylum from the Han Dynasty.
?
Not to mention, the Han Dynasty is now engaged in the so-called "three forms and five baits" in the frontier fortress, frantically wooing the small and medium-sized tribes.
The entire tribe in Munan, no matter how big or small, almost always has the shadow of the Han Dynasty people looming in it.
Now, it would be better if Shanyu publicly expressed that Uwe would die.
So……
Landasin could no longer imagine it.
It's a pity that Landosin's worries are worse than a flying dog in the eyes of military ministers!
The military officials laughed loudly: "Captain Zuo? King Gaolan? I have only seen them two days ago. They knelt in front of me like a docile hound!"
Military officials do have reason to be so proud.
After conquering Dawan, the Xiongnu Empire's wealth increased dramatically.
The appearance of hundreds of thousands of slaves, especially those female slaves, was enough to restore his authority to its peak, and even rival that of his old master Shanyu.
In his eyes, he was just a Zuo Dadu Lieutenant and a mere Gaolan King.
The total amount is only 40,000 Yilu!
Among them, more than half of the towns were loyal to Shan Yuting.
What kind of waves can they make?
The real die-hard loyalists of King Youxian and Yin Zhixie either died on that bloody night in Shan Yuting six or seven years ago, or they followed Yin Zhixie and were killed under the city of Mayi in the Han Dynasty.
In the eyes of the military officials, he even wished that Captain Zuo and King Gaolan would rise up against him.
In this way, he could legitimately take over these two clans and enrich their population and livestock into Shan Yuting's headquarters.
Military ministers now increasingly want to imitate the emperors of the Han Dynasty and centralize power.
In the view of military officials, the Huns' defeat in the Mayi War was due to the system.
The Han Dynasty could concentrate its power because it could centralize power, but the Xiongnu could not concentrate its power because there were too many hills inside.
The solution to this problem is, of course, to withdraw power.
This is also the reason why he immediately withdrew his troops and returned after his western expedition to Dawan.
Not only because I have made enough money, but also because I am worried about my old nest.
The more reason is that the military officials felt that he could rely on such a victory and the mountains of loot to start centralizing power and strengthening Shan Yuting's control over various tribes and clans.
In this way, many of Shan Yuting's problems can be solved once and for all.
Landasin opened his mouth when he saw it, but could not speak at all.
He knew very well that the military officials were already swollen in the face of victory.
He has been immersed in his own fantasy of invincibility.
Unless the Han Dynasty tears up the peace agreement, he will definitely not change his mind.
"Alas!" Landosin sighed in his heart.
He knew that from now on, things would be troubled within the Xiongnu Empire.
Although King Youxian and Yin Zhixie are already dead.
Diehard loyalists have also been basically eliminated or marginalized.
However, there is a saying in the Han Dynasty: a hundred-footed insect dies but does not become stiff!
The Yin Zhixie family has controlled the Tokugawa clan for decades and has been operating for a long time. How can they be eliminated so easily?
However, Landasin had no choice.
"The Great Chanyu..." Lan Tuoxin had no choice but to retreat and make another request: "King Hujie and King Aries were detained and detained by the Han Dynasty. At the request of the slave, an envoy was sent to visit Chang'an of the Han Dynasty! In addition,
The knowledge and technology of the Han Dynasty are very important to our great Xiongnu. The slaves heard that the Han Dynasty established a "Tai Xue" in Chang'an, and asked the Great Chanyu to submit his credentials to the Han Emperor for approval.
, I, the great Xiongnu, can send aristocratic children to study at Taixue!"
"The two countries are brothers, so the emperor of the Han Dynasty should agree to our request!" Lan Tuosin said: "On the contrary, we can know that the Han Dynasty people have deep hostility towards our great Xiongnu!"
This is no problem!
The military minister thought for a moment and agreed. (To be continued.)
