"Why is this happening?"
In the king's tent, everyone was silent, and only the coals were blazing. The flames fangs and claws, just like the fierceness hidden in this quiet atmosphere. Maudun sat alone on his White Tiger Throne, not saying a word, but his brows were furrowed.
The old shaman stood beside the throne of Maudun, his eyes glowing with coldness, as if he wanted to find out.
The eyes of all the people in the tent were drawn to the chest displayed in front of the throne, what was contained in the box to be exact.
It contained a gift, a gift from King Zuogu Li today.
The wolf girl Nuomin looked at the old shaman and asked, "Old shaman, are you sure?" ”
He nodded and said, "There will be no mistake, this is the subordinate I sent." But now, it's a dead man. ”
"Is King Zuogu Liwang still reversed after all?"
Mao Dun laughed, looked at the whole person standing on the side of the tent, and said: "I thought that your brother was just a reckless man, but I didn't expect that he would still want to be a plow on this grassland. ”
"Please forgive your sins."
The fat King Hugh Tu knelt down and pleaded guilty in a panic.
"I don't mean to blame you, you are still the Hugh Tu King of my Huns. This will not change. ”
"Thank you." King Hutu trembled and thanked him.
Shan Yu's leisurely words dispelled the gloom that had gathered in the tent, but the courtiers who were not at ease were still at ease.
This move of King Zuogu Li is undoubtedly declaring war on the Xiongnu royal court.
Since Mao Dun became Shan Yu and grasped the power of the Xiongnu, the largest civil war in the history of the Xiongnu may not be far away.
"There's no way, gather your troops and horses!"
Maudun stood up and said with a calm face.
"Wait, Shan Yu, this matter is too suspicious." The old shaman stopped. "Why did King Zuogu Li do this? Even if he took refuge in Donghu, I can understand it. ”
Mao Dun stopped, shook his head, and said: "There is no time, according to the time when he delivered the box, there are two days at most, and his 30,000 horsemen will hit here." Once the royal court is lost, then my majesty as Shan Yu will be seriously affected. The important thing is that if this battle drags on for too long, it will be a devastating blow to our Huns. Don't forget, both Qin Jun and Donghu are eyeing each other. ”
"But......." The old shaman tried to stop it, but at the beginning of the words, he couldn't say it anymore.
He also understood that what Maudon said was the truth. If the 30,000 rebellious troops could not be pacified as soon as possible, then the production of the Xiongnu would be dealt a considerable blow.
However, the old shaman's heart was still uneasy.
He couldn't say why, but all he could think of in his heart was the fake Tuoba Moon.
The moon was shining, and after the temptation of that day, the old shaman once again walked into the tent of Tuoba Yue.
On the round platform in the center of the big tent, Tuoba Yue opened her eyes and said, "I see that you don't brow, but what happened?" ”
"King Zuogu Liwang has rebelled!"
The old shaman said, his face full of wrinkles huddled together. He looked at Tuoba Yue, even if he felt ridiculous in his heart. Still vaguely looking forward to getting an answer from the woman in front of him.
But she was disappointed, and the woman in front of her was quite calm. That kind of indisputable appearance is like the posture on the statue of a god, as if everything in the world has nothing to do with it.
The old shaman left disappointed.
Tuoba Yue looked up, the clouds disappeared and the moon appeared, and that light shone on her beautiful face from the skylight.
The woman smiled and murmured, "Are you finally here?" I'm waiting for you right here! ”
……..
"King Zuogu Li, there are still a hundred miles to go, and we are about to arrive at the royal court."
The king of the left valley was riding on a horse, and most of the people around him were the subordinates of the king of the right valley.
After a long run, the men and horses rested, and the accompanying slaves had begun to build a large tent for the temporary rest of the Hun nobles.
"Maudun, bastard, our leader owes allegiance to him. But he sent someone to assassinate the leader, and if it weren't for the king of Zuoguli, we would have almost been deceived by him. This time, we must seek justice for the leader. A big man in hard leather armor followed the king of Zuogu Li and said indignantly.
He is a close confidant of the king of Yougu Li, born in the Hutu department, and his name is Ahuer.
King Zuogu Liwang shook his head, there was still regret on his face, "The incident happened suddenly, that killer's martial arts are really strong, I can't save King Youguli, I'm really ashamed!" ”
The big tent had been set up, and a group of people surrounded King Zuogu Li and walked in.
The crowd sat down in columns, and the beef and mutton for lunch had not yet been delivered, but they could hear a faint commotion outside the tent.
"These slaves are dishonest again."
The Huns were accompanied by a large number of slaves, who were generally responsible for chores and as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Ahur said with a hesitant face, and walked out of the tent, wanting to teach them a lesson and make these slaves honest.
But when he returned to the tent, his face changed greatly, and he said in a panic: "Mao Dun called!" ”
"What!" Huo Ran, the Hun general in the big tent, stood up. None of them expected that Mao Dun would call so quickly.
Only King Zuo Guli, who was sitting on the main seat, did not move, and said: "Everyone, go and control the soldiers and horses under your command immediately, and don't let them have chaos. ”
"Yes!"
A group of people hurriedly walked out, and King Zuogu Li instructed the chief of the guard beside him: "You go and gather my soldiers and horses, and immediately assemble and stand by." ”
When everyone walked out, a sneer appeared on the face of King Zuo Guli.
"Shan Yu, they're messed up."
Wolf Girl Nomin followed Morton and said.
On the high slope, Mao Dun took his cronies and looked down at the battlefield below.
Maudun's army, led by the Grand Lieutenant Doyan Boba, unexpectedly attacked 30,000 rebels, and the rebels' camp was in chaos.
Relying on the superiority in numbers, Maudun's army divided the 30,000 rebels into a dozen groups, each fighting on its own.
"Is King Zuogu Li so unbeaten?"
Creon said that such a person's strength and his ambition are too mismatched.
The war was as Mao Dun thought, although the king of the left valley was able to control the soldiers and horses of the king of the right valley, but there was no cooperation, but a group of rabble.
His sharp gaze roamed over the battlefield, and Mao Dun, a powerful general under the King of the Right Valley, knew that the banners of their tribe were fluttering on the battlefield.
But the only thing I didn't see was the culprit of this rebellion, King Zuoguli!
Maudun still had doubts in his heart that he needed to answer.
"Creon, you take your brother to find out the king of the left valley."
"Yes, Shan Yu!"
Creon and his brother were like mercenaries at the moment, hired by Maudon to follow his orders.
The battle lasted for an hour, the 30,000 rebels fled, the captured were captured, and the war was basically stabilized.
Escorted by his personal guards, Mao Dun came to the big tent where the king of Zuogu was located.
Creon and his spearmen surrounded the Great Tent, including the hundreds of knights who were now guarding the Zogu Liking who was now defending to the death around the Great Tent.
Creon waved his hand, and the spear-wielding soldier moved out of the way, allowing Maudon to walk in.
"I will kill the army that is about to be assembled around King Zuo Guli, and there will only be these few hundred people left."
Mao Dun nodded and said, "Give a word to King Zuoguli, as long as he is willing to surrender, I will not kill him, and you don't have to become slaves." ”
"Let me go in and tell you!" The chief of the guard of the king of Zuogu Li said, separated the guards behind him, and walked into the camp.
Not long after, he stumbled out, looking embarrassed, but his face looked demented.
In his situation, let alone Mao Dun, even the guards on King Zuoguli's own side noticed that something was wrong.
Mao Dun stepped forward, grabbed the guard by the collar, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Left... The king of the valley is gone! ”
"What!" Maudon pushed the chief guard away, and rushed into the tent with the wolf girl and Creon.
This time, no one stopped them.
In the empty tent, only the charcoal fire was still burning, and there was not a trace of movement.
Silence, silence is terrible.
Mao Dun wanted to solve the doubts in his heart, but he only got deeper doubts.
Outside the tent, the guards of the king of Zuogu Li saw the empty tent and quickly surrendered.
"Alone, we've captured quite a few rebel leaders."
At this time, Doyanboba walked in and said.
It's just that the big tent that looks torn and messy because of the hundreds of tents cut by the personal guards of the king of Zuogu with knives and the consternation left on the faces of Mao Dun and the others made the warrior a little confused.
"Bring them here."
More than a dozen rebel leaders were quickly brought in, and the big tent was almost impossible to hide from the wind on all sides.
Most of the rebel leaders were kneeling on the ground, their faces ashen, and only one of them, even if he was tied up and kneeling on the ground, still glared at Maudun.
"Who are you?"
Maudon looked at the man and asked.
"Your grandfather, Ahull!"
The other party was disrespectful, but Mao Dun was not angry, and said: "You are the first warrior under the King of the Right Valley!" ”
"That's right. You bastard, because our king is so loyal to you, you actually sent someone to assassinate him. ”
Mao was stunned for a moment and said, "This is what King Zuogu Li said?" ”
"That's right, what about the King of Zuoguli?"
Facing this rough man, Mao suddenly wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He raised his head suddenly, suddenly thought of something, and asked Ahu'er, "I won't say much else, I just want to ask, how did you get rid of the pursuit of the Qin army?" ”
"Qin Jun?" The momentum emanating from Maudun's body made Ahu'er stunned, and he said, "Didn't they run out of food and retreat a long time ago? We waited in front of Baiyan Valley for a day, but we didn't see any trace of the Qin army. And the information that came also confirmed that they had withdrawn. ”
"Who said that?"
Maudun's eyes were almost about to erupt with fire, and the majestic Ahull was inexplicably stunned.
"King Zuoguli!"
"Oops!"
Alone in the royal court.
On the grassland, there are tens of thousands of pastoral tents. The night was quiet, and Mao Dun took almost all the troops, and at this moment, there were only a few guards in the royal court, and it was very empty.
Just a few miles south of the royal court, the Qin army, which had just walked out of the Gobi Desert, was all wrapped in horses' hooves, waiting quietly.
The rocks were raised, and Yingziyi rode on them, and on the road below, 20,000 cavalry began to line up in array.
Two hundred cavalry is a unit, and in a huge area, a hundred cone-shaped cavalry arrays are slowly taking shape.
Under the convex stone, ten cavalry captains stood next to their war horses, waiting for Ying Ziyi's order.
"How's it going?"
"The main force of Maudun has been redeployed."
"Go ahead!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
With an order, 20,000 Qin horsemen slowly moved forward like a river, divided into ten shares, and killed them from around the Shan Yu royal court.
Miles away, a fire soon burst into flames.
Twenty thousand Qin rode in, and almost encountered any obstacles.
With the invasion of 20,000 Qin troops, in the royal court alone, disorderly resistance and escape were going on, accompanied by fire and gray smoke, and the bloody aura slowly spread.
Under the escort of three thousand ghost prison riders, Yingziyi opened a path and entered the royal court.
Alone in the king's account.
The surrounding Xiongnu guards have been cleared by the Qin cavalry. On both sides of the long road, they were guarded by Qin cavalry.
Ying Ziyi rode a horse along the long road and walked in, the horse's hooves stepped on the wooden floor under the king's tent, leaving more than a dozen mud marks, which was originally clean and simple to the king's tent, but at this moment because Ying Ziyi and the guards around him broke in, it looked disorganized.
In the tent of Nuoda, the white tiger skin throne is very conspicuous. And, the woman who stood before the throne.
Ying Ziyi did not dismount, looked down at the woman in front of her, and asked with interest.
"Who are you?"
"Tuoba Month!"
The woman looked at Ying Ziyi with a pair of eyes, without a trace of fear in it, and replied quietly.
"The first beauty of Donghu?" Ying Ziyi smiled: "With your appearance, you can indeed bear this name." ”
Ying Ziyi's praise, instead of making Tuoba Yue happy, she showed a sarcastic look on her face.
"I thought that the crown prince of Great Qin was a hero, but I didn't expect that he was just a vulgar person who only valued women's appearance."
"Oh?" Ying Ziyi smiled and asked strangely: "It's the first time I've heard a woman who doesn't want others to praise her beauty?" ”
There was a burst of laughter around, but Tuoba Yue didn't have a trace of shame, and asked rhetorically: "So with the appearance of a cheap concubine, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tempted?" ”
Ying Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and said such straightforward words, but there was no trace of enchantment on the face of the woman in front of her. If the moonlight is bright, the pure is abnormal.
"What if it moves? What if you don't move? Ying Ziyi asked rhetorically.
The woman smiled brightly, her teeth showed lightly, and said, "If Your Highness is tempted, do you have the courage to marry me?" ”
Ying Ziyi smiled, rode forward on the horse, and pulled Tuoba Yue onto the horse, "Now, do you know my answer?" ”
The woman was very quiet, leaning her back in Ying Ziyi's arms, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said secretly: Ying Ziyi, you hypocritical hero, womanizer, have you finally taken the bait? (To be continued.) )
