Chapter 388

"The Great Shanyu!"

Outside the tent of the Right Xian King, Tuqi Hall had already brought the right kings to worship under the white flag.

Hu Yanfeng Shanyu also got off the horse, spread his arms and walked over with a smile: "Tuqitang, my brother!"

The Great Shanyu personally fought for the enemy, which was something that had not happened in more than ten years. Unfortunately, when Tuqitang hugged Da Shanyu, he found his beautiful sister-in-law, the Zhuanqulan, who was known as "the flower walking on the grassland", did not come, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The Huyanbu Shanyu wore a golden eagle crown on his head, and an eagle stood on the top of the crown. The eagle body was hollow and decorated with feathers. The head was made of two pieces of turquoise.

He is thirty-five and sixty years old and has a somewhat similar appearance to Tuqitang. After all, they are the sons of Hulugu Shanyu, who are known as the "lord of the revival of the Xiongnu".

But Hu Yanshi was not the eldest son. When Hu Lu Gu Shanyu died of illness more than ten years ago, there were many people who were qualified to inherit the position of Shanyu. For example, Hu Lu Gu's half-brother Zuo Daduwei, but was assassinated by Hu Yanshi's mother Da Yanshi.

The Huns also understood the truth about the country's Lai Changjun. Hu Lugu wanted to establish another brother, the King Youguli who was deceived by Ren Hong and finally died in the hands of his ancestor Shan. However, the Da Yan clan conspired with Wei Lu, who was in charge of the ruler, and ordered the Shanyu to order the nobles, and established Hu Yanfeng as the Great Shanyu.

The mother, the family of the mother, was inappropriate and the domestic disagreement caused turmoil within the Huns. Many kings fled far away and refused to meet in Longcheng again.

The people were not attached to each other, and the Han Dynasty was not stupid enough to go deep into the army to send Rentou to the Han Dynasty to gain prestige, and took a defensive counterattack. Therefore, during the ten years of reign of Huyanyi, the Huns became increasingly weak, and the wars with the Han Dynasty were repeatedly defeated, especially the most tragic wars against Wusun three years ago.

Tuqitang reported the losses at that time to the Great Shanyu again with a sad expression: "In addition to the Xianxian Shan, the king of Youguli, who was beheaded and hung on the Han Que, he was the second-ranked king, Prince Li Khan, and Qianchang. He was killed or captured by the Han army, and more than one million horses, cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules, and camels."

In addition, the blessing of the spy Wu Zongnian, the right side's garrison was attacked by the Han army in turn. The Huns who escaped by chance also suffered heavy casualties and suffered countless deaths. After a war, the right side's strength was almost half, and the territory that once had a territory of tens of thousands of miles was almost lost.

The Kings of You Aojian, King Wen Ouqiu, King Puyin, King Yiwu, etc., who were lucky enough to have no head hanging on the North Que, all lost their territory. Now they can only live in the Youxian King's garrison east of Jinshan with their remaining troops. On the one hand, they hope to regain the territory and ranch, but on the other hand, they are afraid of the strength of the Han army.

The right side licked his wounds in the past two years and was unable to counterattack Beiting in the Western Regions. He only used the vast desert between Hujie and Beiting countries as the border. Although he regained the Pulehai (Balikun Lake) that the Han army had no time to defend, and drove away the Xiao Yuezhi who wanted to occupy there, he did not dare to return south.

After waiting, I finally waited for the Great Shanyu to personally fight, and this move undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the right side.

The reason why Huyanbu Shanyu sent troops after almost three years was that he had his own difficulties.

In the war three years ago, the Han Dynasty launched 160,000 cavalry to fight north, which undoubtedly scared the Huns. They were greatly weaker than in the past, and the elite troops of the whole country were only this number. Both the Shanyuting and the Zuoxian King's troops immediately moved away from the front of the Han army.

Although the Huns were a country, this sudden migration that violated the nomadic habits would also cause a large number of livestock to die. Although the three tribes of the Han army had almost nothing to gain, the Huns were also tortured and had no time to run away. Not to mention supporting the right side, they also spent time restoring production and gathering the tribes that had scattered.

By the second year of Benshi, the Great Shanyu was alert to Fan Mingyou, the general of Du Liao stationed in Yunzhong County, Yu Han army. Although the Han army did not want to launch a war, the border was still on guard. Fan Mingyou was also very arrogant and sent thousands of cavalry out of the frontier to fight Qiufeng every few days. It really scared the Huns that did not dare to go south to herd horses, and sent tens of thousands of cavalry on the left and right to prepare for the Han.

It’s okay if you don’t want to be careful. When Yi Zhi was slim to Shanyu, he underestimated the Han army’s strength to go out to the frontier to fight several times and was attacked by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. He was completely lost in Henan and Hexi.

The knowledgeable people within the Huns could keenly realize that after twenty years of rest and recuperation, the once aggressive Han army was back again, and the offensive and defensive momentum was different. Who knew if a general would suddenly attack the Shanyu Ting.

It was not until the beginning of the year that after confirming that the Han army had no plans to go out of boundary force, the Great Shanyu finally took the time and took 30,000 cavalry to march westward and personally fought.

The Western Regions were the right arm of the Huns and the main source of wealth, iron and gold, but now, all of this is gone.

"The custom of Hu is to fight immediately to make a country, so it is famous among the hundreds of barbarians."

The Huns were a great country with barbarians. In addition to the tribes of the Xiongnu, they also enslaved Ding Ling, Jiankun, Hujie, Wuhuan and other tribes. The Great Shanyu was also worried that if they did not retaliate against the last war, once they showed signs of weakness, these tribes might deviate from the Huns.

After Yizhi's elaborate Shanyu, the Huns were extremely dangerous. They all depended on the Han army Zhao Ponu, Li Ling and Li Guangli who sent three waves in a row to restore their morale and prestige.

Therefore, the Huns had to use troops to the Han Dynasty to show their strength, but they did not dare to fight against the border counties of the Han Dynasty. From Liaodong to the east, they saw Dunhuang in the west, and the Han army was protected by the Great Wall, and the Han army rushed to support quickly. Looking left and right, it was better to fight against the Beiting Western Regions, where the Han army had not yet gained a foothold and had few soldiers.

But there is actually controversy within the Huns about how to fight this war.

When the king of Youxian gnawed his legs in the golden tent prepared for Shanyu, the kings expressed their opinions, and the Hanyu ordered two young generals who followed him.

"Ji Hou Shan, Hu Tu Wusi, what do you think?"

...

There have always been rumors that Hu Yanfeng was incorrect in his position. He was able to rise to power all the time because of his mother Da Yan and Wei Lu, which made him uneasy.

But he was over thirty and still had no children, and was regarded by Hu Yanfeng Shanyu as a punishment by the Qilian God and a huge blow to the prestige of the Great Shanyu.

Hu Yanfeng Shanyu took hundreds of women, but even though he was so tired that his waist was almost broken, he still had no children. In despair, he could only grant his younger brother the title of Zuo Xianwang, and he could only inherit the position of the Great Shanyu in the future.

The two sons of King Zuo Xian were taken to the Shanyu court by Huyanbu Shanyu, and regarded them as his own, and were Ji Hou Shan and Hu Tuwusi.

Two strange names here, but in history, after they became Shanyu's name, they were the two most familiar to the Chinese:

One is Huhanye who hugged Wang Zhaojun and returned home.

The other one is Zhizhi, who was hung by Chen Tang in the northern palace and shouted out the saying "Those who violate the powerful Han will be punished even if they are far away."

Ji Houshan is Huhanye, wearing a marten felt hat on his head, and two black braids hanging down from both sides. This year, he is only fifteen years old. He is the second son of Zuo Xianwang. However, his mother is noble, so he was appointed as the heir. His eyes are gentle, he talks and laughs with the people in the right, his eyes are as slender as willow leaves, and his mouth is sweet, and he respects the kings as his elders.

Hu Tuwusi was Zhizhi, who was only sixteen years old. He was the eldest son of Zuo Xianwang. However, his mother was a shameful person. He looked more aggressive. His hair was tied into a long braid and a long sword on his waist. At this moment, he was eager to try and not to be inferior to his younger brother.

After hearing the Great Shanyu's name, Ji Houshan put down the horn cup in his hand. He was a person who liked to think before moving, and spoke very gently. His opinions were consistent with most of the Hun kings.

"In this battle, war should be used to promote peace, and tens of thousands of cavalry attacked Beiting, and threatened the captured Han soldiers to try to restore the marriage."

The resumption of marriage was not the original work of Ji Houshan, but the proposal was made by his great-grandfather, when he was the Shanyu of Hou.

After the Battle of Mobei, the Han Dynasty became increasingly arrogant. Emperor Wu of Han wanted to turn the Huns into a concubine. He sent envoys several times to tell the Huns: "The head of the King of Nanyue has been hung under the northern palace of Han. Now the Shanyu can fight with the Han Dynasty, and the emperor will be on the border. If he cannot, he will face the south and be in the south. Why should he go far away and hide in the cold land of the northern desert? "

However, the Huns held their own identity as a great barbarian country and were obsessed with the past of riding on the Han Dynasty in the Maodun era. It was impossible to surrender, and it would never be possible in this life.

It is good to be a son-in-law of the Han Dynasty. Regardless of the monarch, minister, vassal, or only relatives. When he arrived at the Marquis of Qieji, he replied to Emperor Wu of Han: "How dare my son, how can I hope the Emperor of Han, Emperor of Han, and my father-in-law go?"

However, this one was also the one who detained Su Wu, causing the relationship between Han and Hun to fall to the freezing point again, causing Emperor Wu of Han to give up the idea of ​​surrendering and only wanted to destroy the Huns in one fell swoop!

Then the rash Han army was defeated three or four consecutive times. When Hu Lu was lonely, he surrendered Li Guangli and ate tens of thousands of Han prisoners, and he held that the Huns had revived, so he wanted to become a brotherly country again, and proposed:

"There is a great Han in the south and a strong Hu in the north. Hu is the proud son of heaven! If you want to marry the Han Dynasty, you will marry a Han girl. You will give me tens of stones of wine, five thousand hu of rice, and tens of thousands of pieces of miscellaneous rice. As usual, it will not steal each other from the border!"

The Huns wanted to restore their past relationships and let the Han Dynasty pay tribute to the princess for annual tributes. However, the Huns were no longer the Huns a hundred years ago, and the Han Dynasty was not the Han Dynasty when Bai Deng siege. Even the minister in charge Wei Lu felt it was unrealistic. As the Han Dynasty changed its strategy and only defended and counterattacked, the Huns had no choice but to do so and their words softened.

When the Han Dynasty was reigned in Huyan, he sent Su Wu back to the Han Dynasty, trying to ease the relations between the two countries and reiterated the proposal of marriage.

But General Huo was a dove on the surface, but a hawk on the inside. He inherited Xiaowu's will and believed that between the Han and the Huns, there was only the possibility of the Huns surrendering as ministers unconditionally, and marriage was indisputable.

The two conveniences were so awkward. As the Huns were trapped in several times, the country became more and more poor, and they wanted to end the war with marriage, but they felt that they were too weak and were underestimated by the Han Dynasty, so they always wanted to use the victory of a war to promote marriage.

The last time I attacked Wusun, I asked Princess Jieyou to take her as a hostage.

Now Ji Houshan wants to take Ren Tushima and the soldiers of the Han army in Beiting as hostages, because he heard a rumor when he was in the left hand:

"I heard that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is in love with the guru Ren Hong."

Ren Hong is now famous in the Huns, and there will be no joke about "Ren Shigong" being the father of "Ren Jewish".

"Ji Houshan, you are dreaming."

Hu Tuwusi endured it for a long time, and finally spoke out at this moment. He was different from most people's plan to promote peace by fighting. From the beginning, he strongly advocated toughness against Han. This is a war that will never end!

"Once upon a time, from the west of the Youxian King Tingpulehai to the east of Wusun, dozens of small oasis city-states were like beads worn on the belt of the Great Shanyu. As long as the Tongshu Duwei collects taxes every year, and the dedication of the countries in the Western Regions paying tribute on time, they can get many golden maids."

"But now it's gone, it's like a beautiful concubine from the Western Regions at home, taken away by the Han people and placed on his own bed."

On the grassland, conflicts occur between tribes and it is common for your wife to be taken away by the enemy. At this time, you should drink a whole bag of milk wine and pick up the knife to come to the door. Either you die or I live, or it would be a great humiliation.

Of course, there were also some people who went too late. After a year and a half, my wife came back with a big belly or holding her baby.

Now, the "Hu Ji" who can sing and dance in the Western Regions has been taken away by the Han Dynasty for three years. It has been trained by rituals and music, and it has long been in the shape of others. The heads of the Huns are probably even greener than the turquoise on the crown of the Great Shanyu Eagle.

In Hutuwusi's opinion, if a man is a man, he has to do something! How can he sit and watch the beautiful concubine be held in his arms, and think about how to bargain with the Han Dynasty for a marriage?

"Shame, what a shame!"

He scolded Ji Houshan and the right kings whose territory was taken but dared not return.

King Puyin, who had personally experienced the competition with Ren Hong, could no longer listen. He began to talk about the strength of the Han army and the cunning of Ren Hong, one by one, and one by one, was full of blood and tears.

However, Hutuwus was young and energetic, and could not listen at all. He waved his hand and said something that offended everyone.

"The reason why I have been defeated repeatedly is because...the right side is full of waste!"

The eyes of the Right Xian King flashed with anger, the King of Puyin was speechless, and Ji Houshan looked embarrassed, but Hu Yanfeng Shanyu smiled.

Hutuwusi even bowed to the Great Chanyu:

"Hu Tuwusi is willing to be the vanguard of the Great Shanyu and give me ten thousand cavalry to attack Beiting. He will definitely be able to kill Ren Hong's head and sacrifice to the god Qilian!"
