Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 304

At the beginning of the morning sun, the sun rises and sprinkles thousands of golden rays on the earth. The earth is as beautiful as if it is plated with gold.

A man with a height of eight feet and a round waist is standing facing the sun, his tiger eyes are wide open, staring at the rising sun, as if the rising sun is a magnet and his eyeballs are iron, motionless.The breeze blew and lifted his clothes, and he was on the prairie, as helpless as a solitary boat in the sea.

This person is none other than the famous Mao Dun. Mao Dun is the most outstanding leader in the history of the Huns. He is wise, courageous, and has a broad mind. Of course, he is also cruel by nature. father.

"Prince, prince, good news, good news." As soon as the horse galloped, the sound of joy wafted from afar.

Mao Dun still looked at the sun, as if he didn't hear it, and remained motionless.The visitor galloped up to him, dismounted from his horse, and said excitedly: "Prince, the Great Shanyu has sent an army to attack the Yue clan. It must be to welcome the prince back to the country."

"You were too happy. They didn't come to welcome me back to the country, but to send me to see the God of Kunlun." Mao Dun didn't turn his head back, still looking at his sun.

The knight was his servant, and he couldn't understand: "The crown prince has been hostage to the Yuezhi for more than a year, and he is always looking forward to returning to the Great Huns. The Great Shanyu sent an army to attack the Yuezhi, what else can he do if he is not here to welcome the prince?"

Mo Dun turned around abruptly, stared at the servant and said, "Da Shanyu wants me to return to the country, all he needs is a messenger, a fast horse is enough, is it necessary to send out an army? The messenger told King Yuezhi, Another hostage would be enough."

The servant knew that Mao Dun could predict things like a god, and there were few things that he didn't count on, but this matter was too difficult for people to understand, so he hesitated for a while and asked: "Prince, if Da Shanyu didn't welcome you back to the country, what would you do? What are you sending troops for? That’s the [-] elite of the Shanyu headquarters.”

"That's because Da Shanyu doesn't want me to live in this world for one more day!" Mo Dun said very sadly: "Da Shanyu, we are all your sons, why do you hate me so much and want to put me to death? You If you want to pass on the Great Chanyu to your younger brother, you don’t need to put me to death, right? People in the Southern Dynasties say that the father is kind and the son is filial.

Glancing at the bewildered servant, he explained: "Think about it, if the Huns go to war against the Yuezhi, how would the Yuezhi treat the hostages?"

The servant thought for a while and said: "People of the Yue family pay attention to repaying kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge. They should kill the hostages." Shocked, he did not dare to continue, and said: "The prince can just..."

Mao Dun nodded slightly and said: "You are right, the Yuezhi people will kill me. Da Shanyu is using the sharp knife of the Yuezhi people to kill me. He dispatched [-] elite troops, which shows that he has decided to kill me. .”

The servant panicked and quickly asked, "Prince, what should we do? Should we run away?"

"Flee, where are you going? Thousands of miles of grasslands are full of Yuezhi people. Where can I, a Hun, escape to?" Mao Dun was helpless, and asked: "The great Xiongnu and Yuezhi have always had a good relationship, and there is no hatred. There's a war right now? What else have you heard?"

The servant thought for a while before saying: "Yes, yes. Prince, I heard that the Great Chanyu was defeated in Hetao, and King Youxian's troops were completely lost. Less than 10,000 of the 1+ army escaped."

Mao Dun clenched his right hand into a fist and said: "That's right, that's right. You know that I advocate that the Huns should not rush to develop southward and concentrate on unifying all the tribes in the grassland. If these grassland tribes are defeated, their strength will be greatly enhanced, and it is not impossible to fight against the Southern Dynasty at that time, and go straight to the Central Plains. It would be unwise to fight the Southern Dynasty when we are not yet strong."

"Prince, are you still mentioning this matter? Didn't you offend Da Chanyu because of this matter, and sent him to Yueshi as a hostage?" the servant reminded Mo Dun.

Mao Dun shook his head and said: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other thing. The reason why I was sent to Yuezhi as a hostage was not that my proposition was wrong, but that the Great Chanyu wanted to abolish me and set up my own. My younger brother is the prince. So Da Shanyu went against my way. I don’t advocate going south. He just wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty to start a war with the Southern Dynasty to prove that I was wrong and he was right. Fight me To find a good excuse for him to officially abolish me with his prestige and reputation.

"However, Da Shanyu has never been to the Central Plains, so he doesn't know how big the Central Plains are. Although the Southern Dynasties continued to have civil strife and disputes, it does not mean that they are vulnerable. The people of the Southern Dynasties were quite terrible when they fought among themselves, and the killings were heavy. If we can still work together and unite to the outside world, it would be unwise for us to march to the south now. Isn't the failure of Hetao the best proof?"

The servant couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "The crown prince is right, but Da Shanyu is wrong, how did Da Shanyu do such a thing?"

Mo Dun sneered and said: "That's because the Great Chanyu was jealous of me. He was afraid that my prestige would surpass him and the people would listen to me, so he wanted to kill me. It was only because he was concerned about the reputation of killing the prince that he started the war with the Yue clan. How ruthless you are, how ruthless father you are, to kill me with the knife of the Yuezhi people!"

Although Mao Dun in history was a rare nomadic leader, he was not favored at the beginning and was almost killed by Touman Shanyu. Unexpectedly, history will repeat itself, and the same event will repeat itself, but it will be earlier. .

"Prince, what should we do then?" The servant was bewildered.

Mo Dun looked at the servant and asked, "I ask you, how do I treat you?"

The servant didn't even think about it, and said: "The prince treats me like a brother, this kind of kindness is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth."

Mao Dun asked again: "Are you willing to die for me?"

The servant blurted out: "I am willing. As long as the prince orders, I am willing to die."

"Okay!" Mao Dun clapped his hands together and said, "Then you will die for me now."

The servant didn't say anything. He drew out the scimitar of the Xiongnu and wiped it on his neck. Modu shouted: "Slow down. I understand your heart. You are my good brother Modu. Please accept me. Worship." He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the servant.

The servant panicked and rushed to help him, saying: "Prince, this is not allowed, this is not allowed."

Mao Dun said in an unchangeable tone: "You deserve the gift, don't refuse." After knocking a few times, he stood up, took off his clothes, and said, "Take off your clothes, we Swap it. From now on, you are the prince and I am the servant."

The servant's face turned pale with fright, and the sweat on his forehead leaked out like water. Modu couldn't help but take off his clothes and put them on, saying: "You don't have to go anywhere, just stand here and watch the sun, hold Yueshi back." Man, do you understand?"

Nodding in a daze, the servant asked, "Where is the prince going?"

"I'm going back to the Great Huns, and I'm going to save the Great Huns." Mao Dun said firmly: "The Great Shanyu was defeated by the Southern Dynasty, so he shouldn't have used troops against the Yuezhi. The most powerful on the grassland is not our Great Huns, but the Huns." It's the Donghu. Once the Hetao is defeated, the Donghu will definitely move upon hearing the news and start a war with the Great Huns. If we fight against the Yuezhi again, and if the Yuezhi and Donghu come to attack, the Great Huns will be over. I will rush back now to stop the Great Shanyu Make a mistake." Fei got on the horse, slapped the horse's back, and galloped away.

Under the rising sun, Mao Dun was covered in gold, and flew straight to the place where the sun rose.
