On the steppes of the north......

Donghu is an ancient nomadic people, who have been active in the northern grasslands since the beginning of the Shang dynasty.

For more than 1,000 years, the Donghu people took advantage of the civil strife and strife in the Central Plains and gradually grew stronger, becoming the most powerful tribe of the three major tribes in the grassland.

It is claimed that there are 200,000 people who control the strings, and they have defeated Yan Guo, and Yan Guo has always been a confidant for Zhao State.

Since the birth of the Qin Empire, the first emperor asked Meng Tian to raise 300,000 troops to the north to conquer the Xiongnu and defeat the Xiongnu in the Hetao grassland.

The name of Meng Tian is powerful in the north and is known as the overlord of the grassland.

Since then, Donghu has never invaded the Great Qin Empire except for occasional sneak attacks on the border passes of the Great Qin Empire.

On the contrary, the neighboring Huns, after being seriously injured, became the prey of Donghu.

Not long ago, the head of the Huns, Mandan, was killed by his son Mao Dun, and the king of Donghu saw that there was an opportunity.

He sent an envoy to Maudun to ask for his father's Toumandanyu's thousand-mile horsehorse.

Mao Dun summoned the Xiongnu ministers, and after some discussion, he offered a thousand miles of horses.

It didn't take long for King Donghu to see that Mao Dun was so weak and deceitful, so he sent an envoy again to ask for Mao Dun's favorite concubine.

Originally, everyone thought that Mao Dun would be furious and refused directly.

After all, losing the country, killing the father, and taking the wife are the three major hatreds that are regarded as great shame and humiliation by the world in ancient and modern times.

What surprised everyone was that Mao Dun really offered his favorite concubine with both hands, and also sent more than a dozen carts of gold, silver and jewelry to Donghu.

The king of Donghu became more and more inflated, and after some time, he sent an envoy again to ask Maudun for a thousand miles of territory.

Mao Dun not only did not get angry, but told the Donghu envoy that he could sacrifice all the territories of the Xiongnu, and hoped that the king would be able to dominate the grassland and lead the grassland warriors to fight against the Great Qin Empire in the south.

Since then, the treaty of the Steppe Empire was brokered by Mao Dun, and after nearly two years of negotiation and consultation, the three major tribal kings of the steppe reached an agreement.

King Donghu became the first Dadan Yu of the Grassland Empire, while Mao Dun and King Yue became the kings of the left and right, jointly ruling the grassland.

So the tribes of the grassland, which originally relied on the snort of the three major tribes, could only pinch their noses and join the grassland empire even if they were unwilling in their hearts.

As for those tribes who resisted stubbornly and refused to join the steppe empire, they became the dust of history one by one.

In just three months since the establishment of the Steppe Empire, tribes from all directions have attached themselves to each other, otherwise it will be difficult to escape the scourge of the exiled clans.

A huge empire rose from the north to the North Sea [Lake Belga], to the Yin Mountain, to the sea in the east, and to the Western Regions in the west.

With the birth of a new empire, it is natural to redivide interests, whether it is Donghu, or the Xiongnu and Yue, they all get huge benefits that are in line with their respective tribes.

On the other hand, those small tribes are oppressed one by one, but they dare not speak out.

The royal court is the heart of the Grassland Empire, and the Great Commander of the Grassland convened the first Grassland Empire Dynasty Meeting in style.

The leaders of the various tribes came to the royal court to discuss state affairs.

In the royal tent, King Donghu sat on the throne of the chief, and Mao Dun and King Yue sat on his left and right sides respectively.

As for the other clan leaders, they sat down one after another, with serious expressions, and shouted in unison to the three people above: "Meet Da Danyu, the two kings side by side." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Steppe Empire was established, but now it's just an empty shell, so it's not okay."

King Donghu remembered Mao Dun's proposal to himself, and he said to the grassland tribes with an expressionless face.

Like the emperor of the southern empire, he held the power alone, and decided the rise and fall of the grassland alone, such a right made the king of Donghu unable to calm his heart for a long time.

Today's convening of the Grassland Royal Court Court Meeting is Mao Dun's proposal.

Now that he has taken Mao Dun as his confidant, Mao Dun has repeatedly taken care of himself, and the Huns will definitely stand behind him.

Donghu plus Xiongnu, who dares to oppose themselves in this grassland?

Therefore, King Donghu is full of confidence and does not hide his greed.

What does this mean?

Your own fertile grasslands have been divided up by your three major tribes, what do you want?

For a while, the leaders of the various tribes below looked embarrassed one by one, and looked at King Donghu in disbelief.

"Da Shan Yu, what do you think? Isn't the steppe empire an empty shell? ”

The leader of the Sushen clan looked at King Donghu and asked.

Su Shen has always been active on the side of Donghu, although the power is not as strong as the three major tribes, but it is not weak, with 60,000 people who control the strings, and it is also a big clan in the grassland.

However, due to the general trend, it is difficult for Su Shen to be alone, so he can only join the Grassland Empire.

"The people who control the strings on the grassland must be uniformly deployed by the royal court, and only in this way can they fight against the powerful Qin people in the south."

King Donghu said the reason why Mao Dun had found it for himself.

The leaders of the tribes below exploded in an instant.

Take away the pasture of their own tribe, forget it, they have another way to make a living.

But with all the troops, the Prairie Empire is not an empty shell, but it has become an empty shell itself.

This is no longer difficult for a strong man, but he wants to force himself to death?

If there is no army, will they not become cattle and sheep to be slaughtered?

"Da Danyu, if the young warriors of the clan are handed over to the royal court, then who will protect the safety of our clan?"

The leader of the raccoon dog looked at King Donghu with an ugly expression.

Raccoon dog and Donghu, cautiously fell in love with each other and killed each other for thousands of years, and finally declined, and now they can only look up to the two clans and survive.

can hand over the military power of the clan, this kind of thing is related to the life and death of the clan, so he must not be careless.

"Think twice, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

"My sons and daughters will never be at the mercy of others, they will only fight for our people."

"Yes, the Kun clan is also difficult to obey."

For a while, all the tribal leaders in the royal court tent spoke out against it, and it was impossible for them to agree to this matter.

King Donghu's face was gloomy, and he looked at everyone very ugly.

If it weren't for the beginning of the establishment of the Grassland Empire, it would not be appropriate to make a big move, he really wanted to slaughter this group of fools who didn't know whether to live or die.

Mao Dun saw that King Donghu had set his eyes on him, and immediately spoke up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Qin people in the south are getting stronger and stronger, if we are still scattered, I am afraid that we will be broken by the Qin people one by one, and when the Qin people's million-strong army marches north, who can stop you?"

"I, the Huns, are willing to hand over 30,000 elite horsemen and accept the domination of the royal court."

Mao Dun's words caused everyone to fall into deep thought.

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

So cool to hand over 30,000 iron horses?

You must know that the Huns were wiped out by tens of thousands of elites by the Qin people in the Hetao area, and although they recovered some vitality in the past year, 30,000 elite cavalry is not a small number.

"You are willing to be a dog for King Donghu, that's your own business, my Yueshi is not interested in handing over any troops, even if you ride a fine horse, Yueshi will not hand it over."

The king of the Yue clan also opened his mouth to express his position, and said with great disdain.

You must know that Yue's is not afraid of Donghu, maybe Yue's is weaker than Donghu, but it's not much worse.

There are also nearly 200,000 people who control the strings of the Yue's family.

In addition, the Yueshi is close to the states of the Western Regions, has a unique geography, and has a vast grassland in the West Sea, and has always lived a very nourishing life.

The reason why they rejected the envoys of the Qin people and agreed to join the grassland empire was not to praise the stinky feet of the Donghu people.

But I feel that there are benefits to be shared, so why not?
