Chapter 116 Exposed But Not Exposed (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

After looking carefully for a while, Huo Shan asked Sun Shang to find a shelter from the wind and stay there so as not to make the horse sick.

And he himself swept across the wilderness, lying on the edge of the cliff with warm velvet in his arms, quietly staring at Zuoguli Wangting, observing their every move.

Especially their herdsmen's actions and the mobilization of soldiers and horses, Huo Shan observed the existing laws.

When I was bored, I picked up the wolf fur on the body of Cang Ye next to me, and I picked up a lot.

After the snow wolf entered the beginning of spring, the fluff on its body began to fall off, and what Huo Shan plucked was the fluff that he hadn't shed completely.

Huo Tan kept all the wolf fur that had been picked up. He didn't know what to do with it, it was all fluff, and it was too soft for a brush, so he kept it anyway.

Huo Shan has been staying here from early morning till night, and after the situation was almost cleared up, the two of them started to return.

But instead of returning to the camp, he went directly to observe the other two camps of King Zuoguli.

After spending another two days, Huo Shan finished investigating the other two camps, and the conditions of the routes between the three camps were also clearly investigated.

Huo Shan had some numbers in his mind, and combined with their actual situation and the surrounding terrain, he was able to set up a plan.

For example, when the three support each other, which place is suitable for an ambush, and how to cut off the connection between them.

Huo Shan could do it just based on the scouts' investigation, but it's not as peaceful as seeing it with his own eyes.

After investigating the situation, Huo Shan returned to the camp, and sent three scouts to watch the three camps separately, observing their every move, and then waited quietly.

While Huo Shan was waiting quietly, a cavalry came to Zuo Guli King's court.

And this cavalry was sent by the medium-sized tribe in the southwest region.

I have been investigating the situation for several days, but nothing has been detected.

But the disappearance of so many tribes without a trace is not a trivial matter, so the leader of the tribe sent someone to report to King Zuoguli.

.........

April fourteenth.

Zuo Guli Wang Ting, Wang Zhang.

There was a person sitting in the first place, about forty, tall and fat, with a big sparse beard on his face, and his head was almost bald. All in all, his hair was not very strong.

This person was the king of Zuogu Li, Shuangda Ululi, a son of the Shuangda family, that is, a son of Shanyu.

The next seat sat some civil servants and generals under his command, helping Xiaowang, Duwei, Xiang and so on.

In the middle of the big tent lay an ordinary soldier.

Ululi is the third son of Yizhixie Chanyu, who succeeded the position of King Zuoguli.

His eldest brother Luanti Uwe is Uwe Chanyu, and his son Chanyu Luanti Uwe is his nephew and heir of Uwe.

The second elder brother Luanti Hulihu is the right virtuous king, and he will become Shanyu after his son Shanyu dies. He also has a younger brother Luanti Qiedanhou, who will succeed Shanyu after the death of Yulihu Shanyu.

The situation in their family is a bit complicated. Huo Shan used to confuse the two Shanyus, Qidanhou and Kulihu, and thought they were the same person.

It wasn't until Zhang Anshi gave him some popular science that he realized that they were two people, and that the main ones who beat Li Guangli were Qidahou and his son Hulugu.

Huo Shan also couldn't remember clearly, mainly because of these characters, the eldest brother and the second brother belonged to the same family, and he didn't know much about them.

Moreover, the tenures of these Chanyus were very short, some less than a year, some as long as five or six years.

So according to Shan Yu's calculations, it is easy to regard the two of them as one person.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is still very easy to understand.

The military minister Shan Yu, the great enemy of the three generations of Wen, Jing and Wu of the Han Dynasty, has been in power for a long time. Lao Huo and the others mainly attacked him, and he was also the beginning of the decline of the Xiongnu.

After his death, he passed the position to his son Yu Shan, but Yi Zhixie, who was King Zuo Guli at that time, usurped the throne and took Shan Yu's position.

Yu Shan had no choice but to surrender to Han, and died of illness a few months later.

And Yi Zhixie was the younger brother of Shan Yu, a military minister.

After Yi Zhixie died in 114 BC, he passed his position to his eldest son Uwe.

In 105 BC, that is, the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Uwei passed the position to Wushilu after his death, and this was Er Shanyu.

What comes next is what hasn't happened yet.

Er Shanyu sat for three years, and after his death in 102 BC, his position was passed on to his second uncle, who was also called Lihu Lake.

But Kulihu Shanyu passed away within less than a year of his reign, so the position was passed on to Marquis Qiedan who was the captain of the left at that time.

This person is Er Shanyu's uncle and Yi Zhixie's childish son.

Of course, this Captain Zuo is not the one who wants to kill Er Shanyu now, and he will be killed by Er Shanyu later, so it is impossible for him to be Shanyu.

Huo Shan guessed that he might have taken over after Captain Zuo's death.

Huo Shan just confused the two people behind Kulihu and Qidanhou, thinking they were a Shanyu.

As for the later Hulugu Shanyu, he was the son of Qidanhou, and immediately after Hulugu's brother Hu Yanda took over as Shanyu.

Therefore, it is normal for the Xiongnu to inherit their father's business from their sons, and it is normal for brothers to end up with brothers.

And this Zuoguli King Ululi is not recorded in history, but it is normal, he has never been a Shanyu, has not participated in major events, and is not eligible to be recorded by the big man.

As for the third son, why didn't he succeed Shan Yu, but was succeeded by his younger brother after the death of King Youxian.

This, Huo Shan didn't know, maybe he died of illness!

But he was able to become King Zuoguli, and his status in the Xiongnu was not low, because this position was always held by Shan Yu's favored son.

He should be Yi Zhixie's favorite son, but the favorite son may not necessarily be Shan Yu.

.........

Ululi widened his eyes, looked at the soldier under his command who was lying on the ground in front of him, with an expression of what are you talking about, and asked in his thick body voice:
"You said, gone?"

"The great my king is gone."

Ululi squirmed and waved the old fat hand:
"Tell me in detail about the investigation by the head of your ministry."

Then the soldier lying on the ground told Ululi why they searched, how they searched, and how far they went.

Ululi frowned after listening, and murmured:

"It shouldn't be, how can a dozen or so tribes just say they're gone?"

He mused over the matter in his mind.

"Could it be that they were transferred to another subordinate?"

Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other reasons. More than a dozen tribes disappeared without a trace. In his opinion, they could only have migrated to other places.

As for why it wasn't attacked and destroyed by other tribes, didn't you hear that there was no trace and no sound?

In the Xiongnu, it was destroyed by other tribes, and it is impossible to leave no trace.

He never thought that there would be an army of big men coming to his territory, and he didn't even have this idea, because it was impossible.

So there is only one possibility left, that is, someone seduced the tribe under his command and made them move elsewhere.

Thinking of this, Ululi's eyes widened in an instant, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, the closest ones are the Zuo Dajun and Zuo Dawei who are next to Shan Yuting. Ululi immediately patted the armrest of the seat:
"Gu Xiehai, hum!"

"My lord is saying that these tribes have all moved under the command of General Zuo?"

The next one, Xiao Wang, asked curiously.

Ululi glanced at him, then snorted again:
"Who else could it be?

I, Zuo Guli, occupy this pasture, and to the north are Zuo Tuqi (Xian) King, Guduhou and other tribes. That side is too far away from the disappeared tribe, and Tuqi's throne is vacant, so it cannot be them.

The most likely ones are General Zuo and Captain Zuo near the middle. "

Speaking of this, Ululi squinted his eyes and snorted again:
"Hmph, Captain Zuo doesn't have the guts, the only possibility is General Zuo."

Everyone nodded, and the big tent was quiet for a while, waiting for King Zuoguli's decision.

Suddenly a gloomy voice sounded:
"Hehe, maybe there is Shan Yu's shadow in it!"

Ululi turned his head and looked at the man sitting below him. He was in his thirties, dressed in Han Chinese clothes, tall and thin, and looked upright.

Ululi stared at him for a while, the man sat without changing his face, ignoring the huge pressure, Ululi suddenly smiled:
"What is Zhang Xiangguo's opinion?"

The person surnamed Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Ululi's address, which shows that he was very happy to hear this address.

But then he twitched his lips imperceptibly, obviously disdainful of Ululi's imitative Chinese.

"Back to my king, the grassland has been peaceful for many years, and now there are big men in the south, everyone is more united, and everyone will not pick things up if they have nothing to do, so..."

Ululi nodded approvingly after listening.

"That Xiangguo, what should I do in this situation?"

Ululi asked for advice with a smile on his face.

When the person surnamed Zhang heard Ululi's question, he smiled mysteriously:
"Wait!"

Ululi frowned. He didn't like this Han man very much, but he was capable and could help him manage the tribe well, and he hated this trickery.

But Ululi still held his temper and asked:
"Zhang Xiangguo, this is, um, why?"

People surnamed Zhang arched their hands:

"Excuse me, my king, is my king missing these tribes?"

"Naturally there is no shortage, but this king can't swallow this breath!"

Upon hearing this answer, the person surnamed Zhang immediately made a gesture of persuasion:
"My king, if this event is a major event, you must be able to bear it. There are only a dozen tribes. After the matter is completed, the entire Xiongnu will belong to my king. How many tribes are there?"

As soon as the person surnamed Zhang finished speaking, Xiao Wang, who had spoken before, couldn't sit still, and slapped the table and stood up angrily:

"Forbearance, forbearance, you, a Han, let me, Wang, bear it every day. According to me, it is most appropriate to fight directly and snatch it back."

Ulu immediately glared at Pi Xiaowang:
"Don't be rude to Zhang Xiangguo."

Pi Xiaowang glared at the person surnamed Zhang, sat down resentfully, and groaned angrily.

"Let's do this, go back and tell the head of the department, don't worry about it anymore, keep an eye on the central part, and tell the king if you find the tribe that has moved.

This time you have made a great contribution, rewarding a hundred horses, two thousand cattle and sheep, and a golden bowl. "

"On behalf of the lord of my department, thank the king for the reward."
