Competing

Chapter 660 The envoy pays homage to the Right Wise King

According to historical records, the ancestors of the Xiongnu were the survivors of the Xia Dynasty. During their migration to the west, they merged with the Caucasians from the Yuezhi, Loulan, Wusun, Hujie and other 26 neighboring countries. "The Xiongnu, the Miao descendants of the first Xia and later clans, are called Chunwei (獯鬻, Xunyu). Above Tang and Yu, there are Shanrong, Xuanyun, and Xunyu, who live in the north and move with grass and livestock." "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing" stated: "The dog Rong and the Xia people share the same ancestor, and they all came from the Yellow Emperor."

During the Warring States Period, the Xiongnu gradually became stronger and caused considerable harassment and damage to several northern vassal states.Among them, the three kingdoms of Qin, Yan, and Zhao were the most serious, and they all had the experience of building the Great Wall to stop the Huns.Qin State garrisoned troops in Shangjun in the north, and Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, once defeated the Xiongnu in Yanmen.

At that time, the Central Plains was in the era when the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were fighting for hegemony, and none of the princes had enough strength to concentrate on dealing with the Xiongnu.It is precisely because of this that the Xiongnu were not suppressed, developed rapidly, and were extremely arrogant on the Great Wall in the north.After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng sent Meng Tian to build the Great Wall in the north, but the Huns were more than [-] miles away, so that they dared not go south to bend their bows and graze their horses.

It's a pity that the fruits of such victory were not well preserved. After Qin II ascended the throne, Zhao Gaojiao forced Fusu and Meng Tian to death, and the deterrent power of the Qin frontier army in Shangjun began to decline.During the Battle of Julu, Wang Li led the main frontier army back to the interior, leaving the northern border empty.The Huns seized the opportunity and approached the Great Wall again.

However, the Xiongnu did not invade the south on a large scale. The reason was the change of power within them. The generation of the Huns, the British Lord Mao Dun, stepped onto the stage of history.Mo Dun was the son of Man Chanyu, the head of the Huns.When he was the crown prince, Touman Shanyu wanted to make the son of his favored Yan clan (Queen of the Huns) the crown prince, so he sent Maodun to the Yue clan as a hostage, and then sent troops to attack the Yue clan.Yuezhi was angry and wanted to kill Maodun. After hearing the news, Maodun stole a good horse and fled back to the Xiongnu.

Seeing his bravery, Touman ordered him to command Wanqi.But Mo Dun was already dissatisfied with Touman Chanyu, and trained his troops to be absolutely obedient and loyal to him, in preparation for the coup.He made a sounding arrow called Mingdi, and stipulated that if Mingdi shoots but fails to shoot, he will be cut off.When hunting, he shoots Ming Di, and any follower who does not follow Ming Di to shoot at the same target will be killed.

Then, he shot his own BMW with Ming Dy, and those who dared not shoot were also cut off.Furthermore, he shot his beloved wife with Ming Dy, but there were still people on the left and right who did not dare to shoot, and they were beheaded again.Later, he shot Man Chanyu's BMW with Ming Di, and everyone on the left and right did not shoot.Mao Dunzhi's subordinates are absolutely loyal to him.On a hunting trip with his father, Touman, Modun shot Touman with a bell, and both left and right shot arrows to kill Touman.Afterwards, Maodun killed his stepmother and half-brother, killed all the ministers who were different from him, and established himself as the Xiongnu Shanyu.

Later, while consolidating his position, Mao Dun Shanyu began to conquer the east and west, defeated the powerful grassland opponent Donghu, and basically managed to dominate the northern grassland and desert.At the same time, it approached the original northern border of Qin, Yan, and Zhao, and took this opportunity to break into the south of Dahe, facing the Heshuo Grassland in Guanzhong.

The Xiongnu also formally formed a tribal regime structure dominated by the Shanyu royal court, the left and right kings, the left and right Guli kings, and various affiliated tribes.Mao Dun was ambitious, and when the powerful enemies on the northern grasslands were defeated, he set his sights on the southern Central Plains.That Qin Shihuang is no longer here, he thought his opponent was Xiang Yu or Liu Bang...

In the end, it was discovered that these people were all short-lived, and the latest enemy was fixed as Yue King Yin Xu.While the Yue State was still fighting with the Qi State, Mao Dun Shanyu seized the opportunity and sent Youxian King to lead the attack on the Heshuo Grassland.After the Zuoxian King's Department has quelled the remnants of Donghu, it will also approach the front line of Yanzhao.

It is precisely because of this situation in the north that Yin Xu wants to find a solution to the Central Plains War as soon as possible, and send troops to the northern front to stop the Huns as soon as possible.But things were not always so smooth. As a last resort, after pacifying the land of Hebei, Yin Xu mobilized the main force to go south to attack Qilu and encircle Linzi.

And Wei Liao has been sitting in Hedong all the time, and Xu Wang and his son also led a large number of reorganized Yanzhao troops to stand by at any time.Su Jiao and Dong Yi, the Qin generals who were familiar with the Xiongnu, were also urgently ordered to go north to deploy defenses in the northern part of Guanzhong to protect Guanzhong.Pu Jun's tens of thousands of troops have also stayed in Puyang, north of the great river, with the intention of deterring and encircling Qilu, and they can also be dispatched at any time to reinforce the northern front.

Yin Xu's original idea was to wait until the Linzi matter was resolved before devoting himself to fighting the Huns wholeheartedly.But the situation changed so fast that Yin Xu did not expect Kuai Che to persuade Han Xin to collude with the Xiongnu.Fortunately, Han Xin was benevolent and rejected such a cold and crazy suggestion.

But they all underestimated Kuai Che, and even colluded with King Youxian of the Huns behind their backs.Although Kuai Che could not give the Xiongnu substantial support, it was this simple behavior that would send valuable information to the Xiongnu.At this time, if the Xiongnu were guided by this, and the army went south, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.

It's a pity that they found out too late. By the time they found out, Kuai Che's envoy had already set off to the camp of King Youxian of Heshuo.Fortunately, Feiying's efficient intelligence network discovered this in time.At the same time, the meeting between Yue King Yin Xu and Qi King Han Xin also achieved good results.

Yin Xu and Han Xin reached an agreement on this matter, and jointly made a decision to jointly perform a thrilling large-scale performance.The moment Kuai Che's messenger arrived at the camp of the Hun Youxian King in Heshuo, the performance officially began...

............................................................

The Heshuo Grassland is directly south of the line where Dahe is in the north, and it is the Ordos Plateau of later generations.The Yellow River is thousands of miles away, but it is rich. The area around Hetao and Heshuo is a good place with rich water and grass.As the Xiongnu army went south, under the leadership of King Youxian, the original Baiyang and Loufan troops entered Heshuo successively.

However, on the Heshuo Grassland, the Xiongnu's strength is not sufficient, and needs to be supplemented, so they are unable to launch an attack on the south.Moreover, it is the early winter season, and the cold weather is not conducive to the Huns cavalry going south to fight.Therefore, King Youxian stood still and did not move.At the same time, he was also waiting for the main support and orders from Maodun Shanyu.

Today, King Youxian was drinking and having fun with the nobles of the Xiongnu, such as King Baiyang and King Loufan, when suddenly a soldier from outside the tent came to report: "Youxian King, there are Han envoys outside the camp asking to see you!"

"An envoy from the Han people? Who is it?" King Youxian was a little taken aback, and King Aries and King Lou Fan stared even more.

The soldier continued: "The visitor claims to be from Fanyang, and he is ordered by Mr. Kuai!"

King You Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded and said: "Okay, quickly invite him to my Chinese army tent!" After saying that, he got up and left.
