Just as Han Cheng was in the land of Dafen in the four counties of Yanmen County and greeting the imperial court's holy decree, a huge "snowstorm" was going on on the grassland in the north of Bingzhou. ”

In the northern part of Shuofang County, mainly the herdsmen of the central part of the Southern Xiongnu lived here.

Among the Southern Xiongnu tribes, herding is still the main way of life.

At this time, Shuofang County, which is now the Hetao area, has the most fertile land and pasture, and the central part of the Southern Xiongnu is the most powerful among the five parts, so it naturally occupies the best place.

After the negotiation under the Yanmen Pass, the 3,000 Southern Xiongnu warriors captured by the Fenwu Army have returned to the grassland, and at the same time, they have returned with 3,000 stone of grain in exchange for 10,000 fine sheepskins.

In the battle of burning Yanmen Pass, more than 10,000 warriors of the Southern Xiongnu were killed.

There were fewer people in the Southern Xiongnu, but there was more food in their hands.

In the interim, the five Southern Xiongnu tribes were able to survive the harsh winter months smoothly.

Most of the herdsmen of the Southern Xiongnu were deeply satisfied with Huchuquan's stable strategy.

But there are still some people who are extremely dissatisfied with Huchuquan's stable strategy.

Among them are Hu Chuquan's biological brother Hu Chuhan and Liu Neng, the left king of the Southern Xiongnu.

Hu Chuhan's personality is the opposite of his eldest brother Hu Chuquan, Hu Chuquan is good at strategy, and things that can be solved with his brain generally do not use force;

But Hu Chuhan loves martial arts, and when he can speak with his fists, he generally does not talk about useless things, and because of this, Hu Chuhan has become a representative of the militants in the central part of the Southern Xiongnu.

The Southern Xiongnu took the wolf as a totem, believed in the wolf god, and took the wildness of the wolf as their belief, and Hu Chuhan was always proud of his wildness.

Regarding the negotiation of the eldest brother Hu Chuquan, on the surface, it is often said that Hu Chuquan's stable strategy is to be weak and incompetent in disguise, failing to carry forward the wolf nature of the Southern Xiongnu;

In fact, he coveted the position of the great chief. After all, the great chief has the best weapons and the best horses in the tribe.

The most important thing is that she also enjoys the most gentle and beautiful women among the Southern Xiongnu tribes, which is what Hu Chuhan desires the most.

However, longing is longing, and Hu Chuhan's cronies are not half a star worse than Hu Chuquan's forces.

So, Hu Chuhan arranged for his henchmen to contact Liu Neng, the left king of the Southern Xiongnu, and Tu'an, the king of the north.

Since the return of these two kings from Lou Fuguan, they have been squeezed out by Hu Chuquan.

The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, so Hu Chuhan is ready to unite with them, join forces of the three parties to kill Hu Chuquan, and seek the position of the great leader for himself.

Hu Chuquan is good at strategy, and without some means, it is impossible to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the five major divisions of the Southern Xiongnu for such a long time.

In the entire five tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, in the open and in the dark, many people are Huchuquan's cronies.

Among them, the leader of the northern part of the Southern Xiongnu, Beiwang Tu'an, has an extraordinary relationship with Hu Chuquan, and is the biggest shadow under Hu Chuquan's arrangement, but there are very few people in the entire five departments of the Southern Xiongnu who know about it.

When Hu Chuhan's cronies found Tu'an, the king of the north, Tu'an was shocked when he heard it.

On the surface, he quietly agreed to cooperate with Hu Chuhan, but behind his back, he arranged for his cronies to quickly send the news to Hu Chuquan.

And at any time, Hu Chuhan and Liu Neng, the king of Zuo, accurately reported to Hu Chuquan.

When Tu'an's cronies told Hu Chuquan the urgent news, Hu Chuquan did not panic as he imagined, but looked like he was winning.

When Tu'an's cronies gave feedback to Tu'an's performance, Tu'an said, "How many shadows does the big leader have?" It's too cunning, but fortunately he follows the big leader closely, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died. ”

In addition to Tu'an, Hu Chuquan did receive news from two secret sons: on the second day of the first month of March, Hu Chuhan wanted to take the opportunity of holding a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens to launch a rebellion and seek the position of his own leader.

Hu Chuquan looked at the three pieces of information, confirmed his younger brother Hu Chuhan's disobedience, and muttered: "Chu Han, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." ”

He then ordered to summon the right leader of the Southern Xiongnu, Wu Gu, and the southern leader Su Su to secretly come to the central big tent to discuss countermeasures.

and ordered his most trusted general, Chi Niu Ling, to lead the elite men and horses in the central part of the country to ambush around the place where the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was held in advance, preparing to give Hu Chuhan a big surprise when the time comes.

.....

On the second day of March, although it was already winter, the weather was still cold.

On this day, the sun was just right, and the prairie was unobstructed, and the heavy snow in winter had just receded, and the pasture grass had just emerged, and there was a green scene.

Thirty miles south of Guangmu County, Shuofang County, the tribesmen of the Southern Xiongnu are holding a solemn and sacred ceremony - the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is to give the rationality and authority of the great leader of the Southern Xiongnu by the hand of heaven, so that the tribe is subordinate to the big leader, so as to realize the function of controlling the tribe and maintaining the stability of the tribe.

In addition, the festival is held at the same time as praying for happiness in life and for victory in foreign wars.

Finally, there are horse and camel races to celebrate the success of the festival. This is also the grandest annual ceremony of the Southern Xiongnu.

And, of course, in the evening, there's a big bonfire to celebrate.

Now is the first step: to welcome the wolf god.

The important figures of all the tribes of the Southern Xiongnu were kneeling on the ground at this moment, and shouted loudly: "Thank you for the advent of the wolf god and the great grassland of the Southern Xiongnu tribe to live and survive." ”

Before coming, Hu Chuhan and Liu Neng, the king of Zuo, quietly ordered their cronies to arrange 10,000 horses around the place where the ceremony was held.

After the cronies finished arranging the people, a cronie gestured to Liu Neng from a distance, Liu Neng understood and whispered to Hu Chuhan: "Everything is ready." ”

When Hu Chuhan heard Liu Neng's words, he stood up without any scruples.

arrogantly said to the important figures of the Southern Xiongnu tribes who held the ceremony:

"Let's stop, I have something important to say."

Hu Chuquan knew that Hu Chuhan would have a seizure, but he didn't expect it to have a seizure at this time, and said in his heart: "This is simply too brainless." Even if you can succeed, you have a seizure at this time, which is disrespectful to the wolf god,

It's not good for the legitimacy of the big chief's rule, not to mention that you can't succeed. ”

Hu Chuquan has been in the position of the big leader for a long time, and he has a domineering attitude when he speaks: "Evil obstacles, don't you know when it is?" I'll talk about it later. ”

After everyone heard Hu Chuquan's words, they all cast dissatisfied eyes at Hu Chuhan.

Hu Chuhan laughed and said: "Look at it, this is my eldest brother, your big leader Hu Chuquan, who is fierce and vicious to his own people, but he is unkind to the Han people.

Such a weak and incompetent person, I don't think it's suitable for the position of this big leader, so give it to me. ”

Hu Chuquan said with an angry face: "It's up to you? Hum! Disrupt the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens and be disrespectful to the wolf god. Today, even if you are my own brother, I will not be able to spare you. ”

Hu Chuquan's words are really ruthless, using the reason that his younger brother is disrespectful to the wolf god, he simply put his younger brother Hu Chuhan in a place where he is dead and has no place to be buried.

Hu Chuhan had no ink in his mind, he didn't hear the meaning of the words, he still looked extremely proud, and said, "Spare me, ha." Just don't beg me for mercy later. King Left, King North, do it. ”

When Liu Neng, the king of the left, and Tu'an, the king of the north, heard Hu Chuhan's words, they blew a whistle into the distance, and after the soldiers and horses in the distance got the news, they rode their horses to the place where the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was held.

Hu Chuquan looked at these horses and said, "With just these 10,000 horses, can you break my 3,000 guards?" ”

Hu Chuhan said: "You look, just with me and the 10,000 cavalry behind me, I can kill all of you." When the time comes, the position of the Great Leader will be mine. ”

Hu Chuquan changed his appearance, and persuaded him earnestly: "Chu Han, it's still too late for you to turn back now." I retract what I just said. As long as you lay down your arms, I will not be guilty of the past. ”

Hu Chuquan's show of weakness made Hu Chuhan even more proud.

"Big brother, don't lie to me. You just don't want to give up the position of the big leader, so you are just delaying the army.

I tell you, today you are dead, I will kill you, and when the time comes, I will be the only one who will be the great leader. ”

Hu Chuquan knew that his younger brother would be even more proud when he saw that he was showing weakness.

If you are extremely proud, you will not take the people of the Southern Huns in your eyes, and you will offend all of them.

In this way, when he will kill him, no one will intercede for him in the face of public wrath.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Hu Chuquan said: "The Han people have a saying, saying that if you do evil in heaven, you can forgive yourself for doing evil and not live. Chu Han, I called you like this for the last time, and I was teaching you one last time. ”

After speaking, he turned to the Red Bull Spirit who had been guarding him and said, "Inform them, let's do it." ”

After Hu Chuquan got the news, how could he not be prepared, and let the cronies of the right king Wu Gu and the southern king Su Su take the men and horses to ambush ten miles away around the heaven sacrifice ceremony, waiting for Hu Chuhan to be caught.

Hu Chuhan felt bad when he heard the words of his eldest brother calling Chuquan. Big brother's attitude today is hot and cold, and he feels a little bit of a layout in advance.

Thinking of this, Hu Chuhan pointed to Hu Chuquan and shouted loudly to the cronies behind him: "My Huns have been hegemonic for generations with bravery, and when Huchuquan became the big leader, he made a compromise with the cowardly Han people, which is a blasphemy against my Hun wolf god.

Warriors, come with me! When this battle is won, after I become the big leader, you can choose between cattle and sheep, gold, and beautiful women. ”

As soon as the words fell, Hu Chuhan rode out and went straight to Hu Chuquan to attack, and Hu Chuhan still knew the truth that the thief captured the king first.

No matter what conspiracy Hu Chuquan has, as long as he takes Hu Chuquan down, everything can be solved.
