Speaking of the rise of the Huns, it is inseparable from an important figure - Mao Dun Shan Yu.

During the seven years between the fall of Qin and the establishment of the Han Empire, Mao Dunshan Yu destroyed Donghu with a thunderbolt, and then he led the Xiongnu to conquer Loulan, Hujie and other countries, and controlled most of the Western Regions.

To the north, it conquered the countries of Hun Yao, Qu She, Ding Ling, Qi Kun, and Xinli, and to the south, annexed the territories of Lou Fu and the south king of Baiyang Henan

During the Qin period, Meng Tian was ordered by the first emperor to lead 300,000 Qin troops to resist the Xiongnu in the north.

After the Dune coup, Meng Tian was given to die, and later Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and the Qin army could only hurriedly return to Xianyang, abandoning the remaining ordnance and utensils, and cheapening the Xiongnu in vain, and the Xiongnu took advantage of the situation to occupy the Hetao in one fell swoop.

So far, the Xiongnu occupied a vast area from Yinshan in the south, to Lake Baikal in the north, to the Liao River in the east, and to the Green Mountains in the west, and claimed to have more than 300,000 people who controlled the strings, becoming the most powerful nation in the north.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Empire, the Xiongnu took the Hetao Plain as a springboard, crossed the Great Wall, and attacked the border of the Han Dynasty in a big way.

Liu Bang and his vanguard were besieged in Baishan Mountain in Pingcheng for seven days and seven nights, completely cut off contact with the main force.

Later, Chen Ping's strategy was still used to bribe Mao Dunshan Yu's Yan clan, that is, the queen of the Xiongnu, and finally got out of danger.

This battle with the Xiongnu made Emperor Gao Liu Bang realize that it was impossible to solve the Xiongnu by force at this time, so he had to adopt a peaceful strategy and use this method to maintain the stability of the border.

Although each peace and friendship could bring a short peace to the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu still raided the border of the Han Dynasty from time to time.

Therefore, the successive emperors in the early Han Dynasty also hated the Xiongnu to the core, but due to the weakness of the national strength, they had no ability to fight against the Xiongnu, so they could only endure it in their hearts.

However, this time, Liu Rong caught two Xiongnu spies, and got the news of the Xiongnu going south in advance, and Emperor Wen of Han was moved, "I have been on the throne for more than ten years, if I can take advantage of this opportunity to hit the Xiongnu hard, I will be able to ensure the stability of my Han border for several years, then, even after my death, I will have an explanation to Emperor Gao."

In this way, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty secretly summoned Dongyang Hou Zhang Xiangru and Neishi Luanbu, "If I take advantage of the main force of the Xiongnu to go south, send Qing and others to lead the army to raid the Xiongnu, can I win?"

"Your Majesty, the courage to fight, if Your Majesty is determined to send troops to the Huns, the ministers have the courage and determination to fight, and are willing to serve Your Majesty", Dongyang Hou said.

Then Emperor Wen of Han discussed with Zhang Xiangru and Luan Bu the feasible strategies for this battle.

When the two of them retired, Emperor Wen instructed again, "This matter is very important, you must not tell others",

"The ministers will receive the order," after speaking, Dongyang Hou Zhang Xiangru and Neishi Luanbu left.

On the second day, when Emperor Wen was struggling with whether to launch a war against Hungary, a eunuch outside the Weiyang Palace came to report, saying, "The prince and the young master Chao are wrong, and I want to see Your Majesty", at this time Chao Cuo has been promoted to the crown prince and young master.

"Announce him in", "The minister Chao mistakenly greeted His Majesty" Chao said wrongly.

"Chao Qing, see what happened to me."

"Is Your Majesty determined to attack the Huns?" Chao asked wrongly, and Emperor Wen was very surprised, "Qing, how do you know?" ”。

Yesterday, when the minister saw Dongyang Hou and saw him excited, he asked him why he was so happy, but he said that he could not say anything about it. Today, I heard that His Majesty summoned him yesterday, so I guessed whether His Majesty was going to use troops against the Huns, and I came to see Your Majesty."

"Now that Qing already knows, I will not hide it from you, the Xiongnu have repeatedly disturbed the border, making the border people live in dire straits.

For the sake of border security, I married my daughter far away, and gave a large amount of grain and cloth to the Xiongnu, and they even trampled on my land at will. It's tolerable or unbearable"! After Emperor Wen finished speaking, he drew his saber and split the bookcase in front of him in half with a sword.

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, Chao Cuo hurriedly knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! No, no! ”

Emperor Wen pointed his sword at Chao Cuo and said angrily: "You tell me why you can't!" "Your Majesty, you must first settle down inside, the trouble of the Huns is just the trouble of the skin, has Your Majesty forgotten, and those princes and kings?

They are the big troubles, they now occupy a large area of land in the Han family, and they have a lot of money and army in their hands.

Take Liu Bi, the king of Wu, as an example, since the prince killed the prince of Wu by mistake, he has never come to Chang'an to worship His Majesty.

He has several copper mountains in his hands, in this way, he recruited a large number of troops and rangers, the heart of the disobedience is obvious, if they take advantage of the army of the imperial court and the Xiongnu to fight, rebel, the world will be in chaos, Emperor Gao in the spirit of heaven will not want such a thing to happen, please Your Majesty think twice."

Emperor Wen quickly calmed down after hearing Chao Cuo's words and threw away the saber in his hand.

"Chao Qing is reasonable, but I didn't think it through," Emperor Wen sighed.

He asked again, "Then this time the Huns went south, what countermeasures did Chao Qing have?" ”

"Your Majesty has been summoned, ordered the border counties to prepare for war in advance, and appointed Zhou She and others to garrison the three counties, the characteristics of the Huns' combat is a surprise attack, Lao Shangdan Yu saw that our Han army had already prepared, and he was bound to be unwilling to fight with our Han army."

"That's the only way," Emperor Wen sighed.

In this way, this battle against the Huns ended in a tiger.

On the other side, Lao Shangdan Yu was very anxious when he didn't see Du Lie and the two turn around, but when he saw that there were not many cattle and sheep left in the clan, he made up his mind to send troops.

In this way, Lao Shangshan Yu personally took Aries and King Lou Fu, led 80,000 Hun cavalry, and set off to Yunzhong County.

However, when he arrived in the clouds, he found that there were a large number of troops in the city, so he hesitated a little, "Why didn't Da Dan Yu give the order to attack, we can't wait" Lou Fu Wang said.

"Didn't you see that the Han army had already prepared, our actions may have been leaked, and Du Lie's idiot must have been exposed, so Ben Danyu decided to withdraw the army."

"What to withdraw, what will we eat after withdrawing the troops, the grassland is drought, the pasture grass is dry, and the cattle and sheep have no grass to eat, what should we do?" ，

"Go back to Ben Shan Yu will order someone to write a letter to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so that the Han Dynasty will send cattle and sheep to sacrifice my big Huns, otherwise my big-breasted slave's iron horse will break through the Han realm, and then the emperor of the Han Dynasty will definitely send cattle and sheep obediently.

Now, we are withdrawing our troops to the west, and there are several small countries in the west, so let's go and rob them."

King Lou Fu said, "Hahaha, Da Dan Yu is wise, and the countries of the Western Regions can also provide food for my Great Huns."

Sure enough, not long after, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty received a letter sent by the envoys of the Xiongnu, asking the Han Dynasty for cattle and sheep grain, and Emperor Wen agreed to the request of the Xiongnu under the persuasion of Chao Cuo several times, and sent 20,000 cattle and sheep to the Xiongnu to stabilize the Xiongnu......
