Dahan first prince

Chapter 416 Target!Mayi! ! !
At the same time, Cloud City, the southern suburbs.

Looking inside the king's tent, the heads of various ministries were all beaming with joy, and there was only a faint smile on his face.

Cloud City is not a new city that only existed in recent decades;
As early as nearly a hundred years ago, the grassland was still dominated by the Donghu people, and the Central Plains was still in the Warring States period when countries were constantly attacking each other. Yunzhong City has already become a thorn in the hearts of the grassland nomads!

He clearly remembers that when he was still riding on the back of a sheep, his father once told him: the cloud is the eternal thorn and pain in the hearts of grassland people!

Especially in the past, after the Zhao people named Li Mu, with this cloud city as the center, stretched out "Yunzhong County" for hundreds of miles around, the status of Yunzhong in the hearts of the grassland people has never dropped too much cents.

It's a pity that the prairie people at that time were still very weak;

A state of Zhao that doesn't even have a unified Central Plains can rub the entire grassland on the ground.

Once upon a time, there was even a Yan State that made people grit their teeth. Whenever its southern territory was taken away by the Central Plains people, it would open up to the north!
Yannan lost a hundred miles of land, and expanded northward for thousands of miles;
Yannan lost [-] miles of land, and expanded thousands of miles to the north!
I remember: Qin Kai, the person from Yan who couldn’t beat the people in the Central Plains and took out his anger on the grassland people...
Later, Zhao State perished, and Yan State also perished.

But the life of the prairie people did not get better because of the demise of these two Central Plains countries.

——Because it was a powerful country called 'Qin' that destroyed Zhao, Yan, and all the countries in the Central Plains!

Then, a man named Meng Tian came out of this country called 'Qin'.

After that, the grassland people fell into a dark life that lasted for decades; the black dragon flag became a terrifying existence that every grassland person dared not look directly at.

until today;

Until now, when the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Suoji Porridge allowed the tens of thousands of elite knights under his command to plunder the Yunzhong City wantonly, while he was sitting leisurely in the king's tent in the southern suburb of the Yunzhong City, the myth of "Yunzhong" finally came to fruition. Broken by the steppe nation.

But the ambition of the porridge does not stop there...
"Tu She!"

"The wealth of Yunzhong City is really an eye-opener!"

While he was thinking, a rough voice came into his ears, which finally brought his convulsed thoughts back to his eyes;

A Hun nobleman with a heavy body, scars all over his cheeks, and copper rings on his nose and mouth walked forward with a happy expression.

"In just one day, the one Wanqi I brought with me captured more than 4000 Han Chinese slaves!"

"As for the other belongings, there are countless of them. The warriors are still worried about how to bring them back to the grassland!"

"With these harvests, when Tu She returns to Shan Yuting, even if King Youxian is not convinced, he can only kneel on the ground piously and kiss Tu She's toes?"

Between the nobleman's few words, there was a burst of hearty laughter in the huge king's tent;
Everyone has a happy smile that has never been seen on their faces.

This is the truest portrayal of the grassland nation.

In battle, they are not afraid of death, scrambling to be the first;

In the tribe, they are good at singing and dancing, and are approachable.

And after the war, when they got enough spoils, simple and honest smiles would appear on their faces.

As for the nobleman's words just now, he also revealed many unique systems of the Huns.

For example, the aristocrat called "Tu She" as "Tu She", which is the respectful name of the left and right kings by the Huns. The full names should be: Zuo Tushe and You Tushe.

This is like in the Han Dynasty, no one would call Liu Ying "Emperor" or "Tianzi"; in the Xiongnu, no one would call Tongda Maodun "Shanyu", but Cheligutu;
No one calls it "Zuo Xianwang", but Zuo Tushe, or just like the nobleman just now, just shorten it to: Tushe.

Tu She, in the Hun language, refers to the meaning of sage and sage, and is basically synonymous with "virtuous king";
As for the difference between Zuo Tushe and You Tushe, it must be said that the Xiongnu had an inheritance system that was completely different from that of the Huaxia nation.

Zuoxian King and Youxian King have no distinction of high or low status, they are both heirs of Shan Yu who are on an equal footing;

In other words: what the Huns practiced was not the "single crown prince" system that the Chinese people were accustomed to, but the "dual crown prince" system with grassland characteristics and the law of the jungle.

Among them, Zuo Xianwang is the most capable son of the current Chanyu;

The right virtuous king is the most outstanding brother and uncle of the current Shan Yu.

And under this 'dual crown prince' inheritance system, Shan Yu's inheritance is almost entirely based on the jungle law of the jungle as the final criterion.

——King Zuoxian is Shan Yu's most "promising" son, so how to judge who is the most promising among Shan Yu's sons?
The answer is: the one with the strongest personal force, the most powerful tribe, and the most prestigious in the grassland!
Then after Shan Yu's death, who should inherit the throne of Shan Yu, the left and right virtuous kings?
The answer is still the same: whoever can defeat the opponent is qualified to sit on the Shanyu throne.

To put it bluntly, the Huaxia nation has followed the eldest son inheritance system for thousands of years, or there are inheritance rules such as having a descendant and no descendant, and even inheritance rules such as father dies, brother ends up younger, and so on. market.

The only thing the grassland people believe in is the primitive jungle law that the winner is king and the loser is bandit.

As long as you are strong enough, even if you have no inheritance qualifications, you can still get the loyalty of many people;
On the contrary, as long as you are not strong enough, even if Shanyu is asked repeatedly before his death, "XX will be Shanyu after I die", the grassland people will never buy it.

This is naturally related to the backward system of grassland nomadic civilization, but the most important thing is the harsh environment of the grassland.

——The harsh living environment makes it difficult for grassland nomads to entrust their wealth and life to a leader who is not strong enough;

In order to continue the bloodline inheritance and ensure their own survival, the grassland people can only follow their instinctive call and choose the most powerful person to be their leader.

In the grasslands, the definition of 'powerful' often refers to force, influence, and wisdom above the standard line.

Obviously, in the king's tent at this moment, the "powerfulness" of Jiji porridge has been affirmed by the vast majority of people.

Compared with the uncle who also came from the "Tongda family", Tongdaji porridge has more wisdom and broad vision that grassland peoples rarely possess...

"Yunzhongcheng, you can't stay any longer."

With a low voice, the noisy king's tent fell silent, and after a while, all the leaders nodded sternly.

For the leaders present, this battle against Yunzhong was really too easy;

Especially the result of 'breaking through the clouds' was completely beyond everyone's expectations!
But even so, everyone is very clear in their hearts: the city of the Han people is definitely not a "place to stay for a long time".

Just like in the grasslands, the fertile pastures are always owned by the powerful - the cities of the Han people will always be the most untouchable hedgehogs!
This time, the various ministries in the southern part of the Manchuria, under the leadership of Shuanji Porridge, accidentally captured Yunzhong City, which naturally made everyone overjoyed;
But everyone knew that the large army of the Han people was coming soon.

If you don't leave, you may be blocked in Yunzhong City by the Han infantry phalanx that came one by one.

Of course, the most important thing is: After such a hearty 'feast', the status of Luanji porridge in the minds of the heads of various ministries in the southern part of the Manchuria has reached an unprecedented peak.

——For grassland peoples, "If you have milk, you are a mother", it is almost enough to summarize most of the survival rules;
And a leader who can lead his troops to plunder the Han city, even like this time, searched Yunzhong City completely without any effort, can completely form a majesty no less than Shan Yu himself in a short period of time !
"Tu She, give the order!"

"As long as Tu She gives the order, the two Wanqi of our Aries Division will immediately follow Tu She to withdraw from Yunzhong City!"

After the nobleman who spoke first stood up, everyone rushed to stand up, expressing the attitude of 'as long as Tu She gives the order, we will retreat immediately'.

And Wanqi is another very distinctive organizational unit in the Xiongnu army system.

Wanqi, as the name suggests: a cavalry establishment composed of 1 people;
But in fact, under the Xiongnu's army system, only Shan Yuting's troops can reach the full number of ten thousand cavalry, that is, 1 people are a "ten thousand cavalry"!
When it comes to Zuoxian King Suodaji Porridge, Right Xianwang Suoda Zhuoga and other "Shuangda Clan" clans, that is, the army of the Xiongnu headquarters, only 8000 people are eligible for a "Wanqi";

Going down to the tribes such as Baiyang and Loufan who did not originally belong to the Huns, but later voluntarily surrendered and became willing to become the Huns, 6000 people are regarded as a "ten thousand cavalry".

The worst are those slave tribes that did not belong to the headquarters of the Huns and did not voluntarily surrender, but were surrendered after the war. 4000 people are a "ten thousand cavalry".

But at this moment, the chiefs of the ministries gathered in the tent of the king of Ji Porridge basically belonged to the third situation, that is, the foreign tribes who did not belong to the main tribe of the Xiongnu and later voluntarily surrendered;
Therefore, there are actually only 6000 people in each of these tribes.

After a short moment of 'statement', the composition of the personnel who went south to Yunzhong this time was basically displayed in the Wang Tent.

——Wang Zuoxian Ji Porridge brought two thousand cavalry from Zuo Xianwang's tribe, each with 8000 people, a total of 6000 people;

There are two Wanqi in the Aries Department, each with 6000 people, for a total of 2000 people.

In addition, there are Loufan, Zhelan, and Jinshan each with a Wanqi, a total of 8000 people.

In addition, there are six Wanqi slave tribes, with a total of 4000 people.

Added together, this trip to the south brought a total of 7 people!
And among these 7 people, except for the [-] slave soldiers, the remaining [-] are all elite cavalry with one man and three horses, who are skilled in bow and horse!
In particular, the two Wanqi in the headquarters of Jiji Porridge are a capable force equipped with all bronzes as weapons!
With such a quantity and quality of troops in their hands, breaking through Yunzhong at the cost of almost zero casualties, for the grassland people, it has already been considered a lot of money;

No matter who you are, at this moment, you will definitely accept it as soon as you see it, and take the loot from Yunzhong City, especially the tens of thousands of Han slaves, and return to the grassland the same way with a bright vision for the next few years. .

But unfortunately, the one who came this time was not someone else.

It is the heir appointed by Mao Dun Shanyu, the hero of the Xiongnu, who has the reputation of "living killing god" in the grassland;

In the original history, Zuoxian King who had the reputation of "Old Shangji Congee Shanyu": Congee Ji Congee...

"I heard that the troops of the Han people did not come to the clouds;"

After speaking leisurely, seeing everyone in the tent looked stunned, a dangerous smile could not help but hang on his indifferent face.

"The Han people have all gone to Mayi."

"This shows that the Han people dare not come to Yunzhong, but only dare to stay in Mayi."

"The Han people are afraid of the warriors of my Great Huns and will continue to go south..."

In an inexplicably relaxed tone, he said the information he had just received, and he looked at the eyes of everyone, and couldn't help but feel a little playful.

"Everyone, you are all praised warriors in the grassland;"

"Especially the three tribes of Baiyang, Zhelan, and Loufan, who have just been praised by Chengli Gutu as the 'Troika of Shan Yuting', and many slaves have been given to these three tribes."

"Now that we have broken through Yunzhong, the Han people dare not even think about taking it back. They can only hide in Mayi City and look to the north in fear."

"Are we going back to the grassland like this?"

"—Could it be that we went south this time just for these property, slaves, and a mere city in the clouds?"

Following the low tone of Ji Porridge's tone, the complexions of everyone in the tent became somewhat tangled.

Why go south?
For these tribal leaders, of course it is to rob property and population, and then use this to strengthen the tribe!
But Yunzhong City, just a few days ago, had just been breached by the people present at the scene.

At this time, say no to the proposal of "continue to go south"...
"The will to slaughter extravagance!"

While everyone was struggling, the nobleman who spoke first, that is, King Aries stood up, and resolutely knelt down on one knee at the feet of Ji Porridge;
After a brief silence, the rest of the people also knelt down on the ground, and offered all their loyal ministers to the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu and the clan of the Suoda clan in front of them.

"The will to slaughter extravagance!!!"

Looking at the heads of various ministries who were kneeling in front of him, his face was full of contempt, but there was no sign of enjoyment at all.

Seeing him contemplating for a moment, he slowly got up from the animal skin throne, raised his hand lightly, and signaled everyone to get up;
A short moment later, a chilling coldness surged down the spine from the indifferent face of Ji Yu.

"Send the order down!"

"A Wanqi from the Baiyang Department patrols for [-] miles around Yunzhong, and must never enter Yunzhong City again!"

"The rest of the ministries, immediately end the search and start to reorganize the army!"

"At sunset tomorrow, the whole army will set off!"

"--Target!"

"—Ma Yi!!!"
