"Losing my Helan Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest......"

Accompanied by a desolate song, a huge team is marching among the desert thousands of miles northwest of Helan Mountain.

It was the Huns, the remnants of the Huns who had fought a defeated battle in the Hetao more than a month ago.

After being attacked by Li Xin while crossing the river, Tou Mandan Yu began to flee westward with the remnants of only 30,000 men. The road to the north of Yinshan has been cut off by the Qin army, and if they want to survive, they will have to take another road - cross the quicksand, go to Juyanze for the winter, and next spring the warm snow melts, and then cross the "Great Gobi" in the north and arrive in Mobei.

It was September, but the daytime temperature in the desert was still very high, and the Huns had to hide in tents to avoid the scorching sun. At night, the temperature was shivering, and no amount of fur could stop the wind, and only the short time in the morning and evening was suitable for riding, and they walked very slowly.

The Huns were familiar with this path and were able to find water sources, but half a month after leaving the loop, hunger swept over them, and the weak horses fell first, followed by the wounded warriors.

"They were lucky enough to at least die with their horses."

The cremation of the Xiongnu and Qiang people was different, and the burial was the same as in the Central Plains, and when the dead were buried among the sand dunes, the Huns mourned.

They believed that the Huns had some kind of mysterious connection to their mounts, and that when a person died, the horses would carry the dead into the land of the dead where the grass was always green and the flowers were blooming.

When the migration of the group went deeper and deeper, more people died, such as Ju Wu, a Yan man who was alone next to him, fell off his horse with all his strength, couldn't get up, and died after half an hour. Mosquitoes and flies surrounded the corpse, and the Huns thought he was infected with the disease, fearing that he would pass on his bad luck to others, so they set it on fire.

The corpse was half-burned and extinguished, and the vulture fell, pecking greedily, followed by the jackal, tearing at his bones and falling everywhere.

Ju Wu died, and he didn't return to Yandi, and he couldn't make his Shen Baoxu, but in the desert, he gave a group of beasts a lot of food, and finally turned into dry and hard dung.

At this time, the Huns also ran out of food, and these Huns, who loved horses like their lives, had to start killing horses for food. When they heard that Touman Danyu's subordinates had eaten other people's horses, but they would not kill their own, they could not help but complain secretly.

At nightfall, mournful songs accompanied by Hu Ji resounded through the Hun camp again.

"The loss of my land south of the river has made my tribe have no peace of residence."

"Losing my Beiheyuan will make me fall into ruins......"

The Xiongnu lost their best pastures and could only go to the desolate Mobei to survive.

Some people believe that all this is to blame for the old age and stupidity of Tou Mandanyu, and blame him for his insistence, so that the Xiongnu suffered such a huge loss.

Dissatisfaction is squeezing and brewing, and it is only because of the three thousand loyal knights around Shan Yu that he does not dare to attack - in the war, Shan Yu always keeps the elite by his side and lets other tribes go up to consume.

Fortunately, they stumbled and finally arrived in Juyanze......

Poplar forests full of yellow leaves appeared in large areas, the land became moist, and weak water crossed the desert, and together with other streams from various snow-capped mountains, they converged into a vast and vast lake, which was ten times the size of Tsukishi Inozawa in Hexi!

The water color of this lake is turquoise and distinct, and the water is rich in fish, and the big ones are catty. There are also many birds, such as gray swallows, swans, wild ducks, these elves who migrate here for wintering, thousands of flocks, flying and playing in the water, which is a spectacle. The lakeside is densely covered with reeds, as thick as a pen, and the height is as high as the zhang, can there be no people on the horse......

The hungry and thirsty Huns knelt down here to worship the gift of heaven, and they finally found hope for life.

This is Ju Yanze, Qilian Mountain Glacier to the Gobi life a generous gift, "Qilian", in the Xiongnu language is "heaven", so Ju Yanze is also called Tianchi by them, and as a holy place to be worshipped, Tou Manshan Yu left a 10,000 cavalry commander stationed here.

Soon, the commander of the ten thousand horsemen named "Lan Yanzhi" sent people to the lake to meet Touman, only to see 30,000 people, only more than 2,000 remained, all of them were exhausted, and most of them lost their horses.

Lan Yanzhi is the patriarch of the Lan clan, one of the three noble races of the Xiongnu, seeing this situation, his face is different, but he still immediately took Tou Mandan Yu to the camp to rest, and asked people to bring cheese and meat immediately.

"Is there any movement in the Yue's Clan?"

Touman stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, which was to ask the most crucial question.

A thousand miles south of Juyanhai is the Zhaowu City of the Yue Clan, and the Yue people used to go downstream along the weak water to compete with the Xiongnu for Ju Yanze. This time, the Xiongnu were hit hard by the Qin Dynasty, and what Touman was most worried about was that the Yue clan would occupy Ju Yanze, in that case, the Xiongnu would lose their last foothold in Monan.

Not to mention, his son Mao Dun is in the Yue Clan, this defeat, Touman's prestige has been greatly damaged, if it weren't for the Lan Clan's loyalty to him, they must spend the winter in Juyanze, otherwise they would have rebelled a long time ago.

Therefore, while he moved all the Xiongnu troops to Mobei, he also left 10,000 horsemen in Juyanze to respond, in case of contingencies.

"There was a small group of scouts who came to spy on them, and I repelled them."

Lan Yanzhi smiled and looked outside the tent, because the people could rebel at any time, Touman was very vigilant, and his cronies stood inside and outside the door, holding knives and axes, checking everyone who came here.

A waiter wearing a thick felt hat carried a whole roast sheep in both hands, and slowly entered, but was stopped by Shan Yu's cronies, took off his felt hat, and searched his body before letting him in.

Hearing that the Yueshi did not make a big move, Tou Man breathed a sigh of relief, and discussed with Lan Yanzhi where the various departments arranged to spend the winter, so he yawned, and after a month of tossing and turning in the desert, he was tired, and after being full of wine and food, sleepiness hit.

Lan Yan retreated, and the guards on the inside of the tent also arrived outside the tent and devoured food.

Soon, the snoring of Touman Danyu came from the tent......

The sleep was sweet, until a cold blade pressed against his throat, and Tou Manshan Yu opened his eyes suddenly, but his mouth was covered.

The person in front of him came out of nowhere, his face was like an eagle's owl, his slender eyebrows were like a man's head, the only difference from the past was that his once smooth chin, like a mirror covered by a rich beard......

Touman gasped.

"Maudun, it's you!"

……

Touman's heart was about to stop, and he was not happy at all when he saw his eldest son suddenly appear, and subconsciously wanted to touch the knife next to him, but found that it was in Mao Dun's hand, and it was close to his throat for a few minutes.

Maudun didn't say a word, just threw a meaningful smile to Touman.

"How did you get in?"

Mao Dun still did not speak, only looked to the side, Tou Man followed his son's gaze, and found that at the edge of the big tent, next to the wooden frame where the bow and arrow blades were placed, the tiger skin was lifted, and a wooden door was opened from the ground, which was a pit in which people could hide.

Everything is understood, the slightly strange atmosphere of the Huns in Juyanze, the flickering eyes of Lan Yanzhi, who originally thought that the Lan clan was the most loyal, was the first to betray him!

Ten years ago, even if the blade was in the throat, Tou Manshan Yu could fight back desperately, but he was old and stiff in front of his subordinates, but in fact he was not in good health, and the changes in the past few months had made him a lot weaker, his hair was grayer, and his eyes were full of tiredness.

In the face of his strong son, all his struggles were in vain.

All this was also seen in Mao Dun's eyes, and at this moment, there seemed to be some sadness in his eyes.

Now, Touman has calmed down.

He smiled dryly: "After this defeat, I also understand that the Xiongnu need an old and brave heir, and when I return to Mobei next year, I will make you the crown prince......"

The last trace of hesitation in Maudun's eyes vanished, and he shook his head.

"Lost my Helan Mountain, so that my six animals will not breathe, and the song sung by the people, didn't my father hear it?"

Mao Dun spoke, no longer in the thick and bold voice he had before, low with a hint of hoarseness, making it impossible to know what he had experienced in the past year or so.

"What the hell do you want? Maudun, my son? ”

Touman was close to pleading.

"What to do? Take back what is rightfully mine! ”

Mao Dun grabbed the arm that Touman wanted to resist, and his eyes were full of fierceness, as if he was about to bite the throat of the old wolf king.

"Father, you are no longer worthy of being a big Danyu, you will only bring the Xiongnu to destruction."

"You don't have to worry about whether your people will betray or not, and you don't have to bear the weight of the eagle crown anymore. I, the Twin Clan's Maudun, will take care of everything in your place! ”

The next moment, the blade did not hesitate to cut its throat.

Maudun let go of his hand, and Tou Manshan rolled down, desperately trying to stop the blood splattering outward, but to no avail.

The struggle and noise inside the tent were loud enough, but Shan Yu's guards outside didn't come in to take a look, because outside the tent, there was also a shout of killing, and a piece of blood splashed on the tent!

Mao Dun coldly watched the man who brought him life and abandoned him to die, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

But then, as if relieved, he picked up the horn cup that Touman had not finished, and drank the mare's milk wine in one gulp.

In the past year or so, he has experienced unimaginable suffering, was exiled by his father, fled to the enemy to seek refuge, offered his BMW and his favorite Yanshi, borrowed the Qianyue clan, stationed in Inoze Pig, and always spied on the recent situation of the Huns.

When Qin attacked the Xiongnu in a big way, Mao Dun knew that his opportunity had come, but Qin quickly achieved a one-sided victory, which made him understand that he could not suddenly appear and become the one who saved the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu are experiencing an unprecedented winter, and he can only find a way to lead them from destruction.

But first, he wants to get the position of big single.

Fortunately, the strong of the Huns survived, the weak were despised, and a single Yu who lost the battle and abandoned the pasture would not be loved.

Just as the King of the Yue Clan decided to seek peace with Qin, the keen Mao Dun knew that he had to leave. He came to Juyanze with the cavalry of the Thousand Moon Clan and his subordinates, and at the risk of being killed, he walked alone in front of Lan Yanzhi......

He persuaded the panicked Lan to plot the murder of his father.

There could have been several people hiding in the pit, but Touman entered in person, without any subordinates, and he believed that he was the only one who was qualified to do anything to Shan Yu.

Thinking of this, Mao Dun lowered his body and picked up the blood-stained Shan Yu Eagle Crown that rolled and rolled on the ground!

He put the eagle crown on his head, and without glancing at the corpse of Touman, he stepped out of the tent, where the slaughter was going on......

The station has become a battlefield, no, a slaughterhouse! Shan Yu's guards outside the tent had been killed by Mao Dun's men, and those tribal stations loyal to Touman were burning flames into the air, and there were swords and swords everywhere, and Lan Yanzhi, who had been persuaded by Mao Dun to take refuge in him, was leading people to surround them.

"That's right."

Mao Dun said to himself: "Hu Ren, who often claims to be a pack of wolves, naturally depends on whose claws are sharp!" ”

The wolf kills the old wolf, sucks its blood, and eats its flesh, so that it can be ruthless and strong, this is the way of survival of the Huns!

When the slaughter was over, Maudun made a giant trumpet sound.

These are horns made from the largest bison horn in the grassland, and they only sound when something important is important – the Kicking Forest Conference, the Dragon City Sacrifice to the Heavens, the Birth of the Firstborn, the War Gathering, the Shan Yu Funeral, the New Shan Yu Succession......

More than 20 years ago, in the city of Touman, Maudun was born at the sound of this horn, and Touman also happily held him, bathed in the blood of the horse, and named him "Maudun", which was predicted by the wizard that he would be a horse that would walk all over the grassland.

And today, in this trumpet, he killed his father and put on a blood-stained eagle's crown.

All the Huns had gathered, they had understood what was happening, but there was no anger, no accusations, just calmly looking at Maudun. Except for those cronies who are desperately loyal to Touman, everyone seems to be accustomed to this scene......

This is the grassland, the law of the jungle is a thing, it happens every day, a weak old wolf can't lead the wolf pack, not to mention, the new wolf king already has sharp teeth and claws.

Eventually, they obediently knelt down in front of Maudun......

On the bank of Juyanze, a huge cry sounded, startling the wintering birds.

"Mao Dun Shan Yu!"

"The plough is lonely, and the big single is out!"

……

Half a month later, when the envoy of the king of the Yue clan arrived in Juyanze and wanted to recall him, he was shocked to find that this exiled prince who was like a dog in the Yue clan had put on the crown of an eagle and sat on the Hu bed to receive him.

Mao Dun still remembered his promise of "serving the king of the Yue clan as the master", and his words were very deferential:

"Please reply to the king of the Yue clan, Touman is dead, and Mao Dun is now the new Shan Yu, willing to be a minister of the Yue clan. When the snow melts next year, Mao Dun will take 30,000 knights to migrate north to Mobei and dominate the Xiongnu tribes there. Ju Yanze will also be abandoned, and the Yue clan will be managed by the Xiongnu, and the two states will communicate here. ”

"The Qin people were greedy and wanted to slaughter all the Hu herdsmen, turn all the grasslands into arable land, build cities, and live forever. The Xiongnu have been defeated, and the next prey of the Qin army is either Yueshi or Donghu. Mao Dun is willing to contact the king of Donghu for the king of the Yue clan, and in the face of the fierce enemy of the Qin emperor, all the people of the grassland who draw the bow must unite! If one Hu can't defeat Qin, then three Hu will be one! ”
