Six hundred miles away from the grassland of Yanglecheng (Yixian County, Liaoning), the capital of western Liaoning, there is a red mountain range, which is called "Ulan Hada" in Donghu language.

Ulan is red, Hada means the peak, Ulan Hada, is the red peak!

At the foot of Chifeng, is the base camp of Donghu, a stone mound stands here, huge, and the yak tail flag inserted on it casts a long shadow on the rippling grassland, adding a border to the scenery of the red mountains in the distance.

Surrounding the stone mound are countless felt tents, and the doors open eastwards in the direction of the rising sun. It was sunrise now, and the dew on the blades of grass had not yet dried, and the Donghu people, young and old, walked out of their tents and bowed down towards the red mountain, their eyes full of admiration.

In the legend of the Donghu people, in ancient times, the goddess of heaven accidentally knocked over the rouge box, and the rouge was sprinkled on the mountain, so nine red peaks appeared, and the goddess was punished by the heavens and descended to the earth.

Here, she met Rao Leshui Bo, and the two gods were combined, which gave rise to the Donghu tribe, so the Donghu people have always regarded Rao Leshui (Xilamulun River) as their father and Chishan as their mother.

In the classics, the Central Plains' record of Donghu is also very early, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, after calling the Duke to conquer Yan and Hao, there were Donghu tribes who paid tribute to the Zhou Dynasty "Huang Zhen". However, at that time, there was still a mountain between Donghu and Zhuxia, and after the northern expedition of Qi Huan Gong broke through the mountain, the Donghu tribe multiplied, and then gradually went south into the hometown of Shanrong, that is, the north of Yan and Dai.

At that time, Donghu was still a loosely divided tribe, with dozens of settlements scattered across the vast grasslands.

The chieftains of the towns are not inherited from generation to generation, and whoever is the most brave and strong and can decide the battles and lawsuits will be elected by the clansmen as the leaders of the towns. Dozens of related towns formed a tribe, and then elected a big leader to occupy a grassland of more than 100 miles.

However, in order to compete with the Xiongnu, their neighbors on the steppe, the Donghu tribes began to unite and elect the most powerful tribal leader as the king of Donghu—as the Central Plains people called it, but according to the rules of Donghu, it should be called "adult".

With the queen of Donghu, Donghu became more powerful, although they lived in pursuit of water and grass on weekdays, eating meat and cheese, but when the cattle and sheep of the grassland died of illness, or the water and grass were not fat enough, Donghu would be led by the king of Donghu, and would attack the surrounding tribal states in groups, plundering their food and population.

This kind of raiding was generally concentrated in autumn and winter, and the thieves and filthy people in the eastern Liaodong region suffered greatly and could only submit to Donghu.

However, as one of the Seven Heroes, Yan Guo was not so good-tempered, when Yan Zhao was king, Qin Kai infiltrated Donghu as a hostage, and after finding out the Donghu tactics and the details, Qin Kai led the Yan army to break Donghu, seize Liaodong, expand the land for thousands of miles, and build the Yan Great Wall, driving Donghu back to the grassland.

Four generations have passed since that defeat, and after the new generation of Donghu King was elected as the "adult", he encountered two golden opportunities.

The first is that the Xiongnu were hit hard by the Qin Dynasty, and Mao Dun killed his father and set himself up as Shan Yu, and went away to Mobei, so Donghu took over the eastern territory of the Xiongnu in a grand manner, and even forced Mao Dun to pay tribute to Donghu every year.

Second, the powerful Qin Dynasty also collapsed, Yan Zhao Haojie rebelled, and the soldiers of Yuyang and Youbeiping rose up one after another to resist the Qin officials.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, King Donghu made a bold decision:

"Over the long wall!"

After the beginning of spring, the Donghu troops in the Rao Leshui Conference, immediately went south, they were good at riding and shooting, almost everyone was a soldier, and at the beginning achieved great results:

The area north of Yanshan in Yuyang and Youbeiping counties all fell, and the local warlord Zang Di did not dare to be the enemy of Donghu, so he withdrew all the population to the interior, gave up hundreds of miles of territory, and allowed the farmland of the emigrated city to be turned into the pasture of the Donghu people again.

However, in the subsequent attack on Liaodong and Liaoxi, the Donghu people encountered unimagined resistance.

A man who claimed to be the prince of the Qin Dynasty, with a group of soldiers covered with chilblains, dealt a heavy blow to the adventurous Donghu herdsmen under the city of Xiangping, and then organized the Liaodong natives who were good at riding horses to meet the attack in the north, driving Donghu back to the front line of the Great Wall......

The Hu people have always bullied the soft and feared the hard, since Liaodong is difficult to bite, then go to Liaoxi.

Unexpectedly, the prince did not give up, and led his soldiers to Liaodong, relieved the siege of Yangle City, and severely damaged the troops of King Donghu at Baiwolf Water (Daling River).

Although Donghu is good at riding and shooting, but the first soldiers are still different from the Central Plains, otherwise they will not be beaten by the Yan at the bottom of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

Seeing that it was not easy to attack Liaodong and Liaoxi, and the plundered population and property were sufficient, the king of Donghu withdrew his troops and returned to Chishan......

However, counting the number of people, this is actually the heaviest loss of Donghu since Qin Kai broke Donghu, thousands of tribal warriors fell in the white wolf water, and it was not easy to recover the corpse.

Just as the Central Plains people of Kanto believed that their souls would return to Mount Tai after their deaths, the Donghu people also believed that after all people died, their souls would also gather in Chishan, and the war dead would be placed on the top of the mountain and return to the arms of the goddess mother.

They had a special way of sending the body in a coffin, and there was a ritual of mourning and weeping, but when it came to the burial, they sent each other with singing and dancing.

Each family also had a fat dog, preferably a black dog, led by a colored rope and burned with the deceased's horse and clothing, which meant that the dog would escort the soul of the deceased back to the Red Mountain.

So at this moment, thousands of fires are burning around Chishan, and the air is filled with the smell of roast dog meat......

The king of Donghu snorted, but refused the righteous indignation and asked for another attack on Liaoxi and Liaodong to avenge the death.

"There's no hurry to go to White Wolf Water to take revenge, now, there are more important things to do!"

The king of Donghu knew very well that although the rich Central Plains cities were attractive, the grassland was the foundation of Donghu.

With the decline of the Xiongnu and the demise of the Yue clan, the Donghu are now the most powerful tribe in the steppe. The grassland has always been the strong and the weak, the king of Donghu did not take less fire to rob, forced the Huns to submit, every year in the summer, the Huns have to send cattle, horses, sheepskins over, outdated, Donghu will brazenly detain the Hun women......

Now it's the time of the year, the Xiongnu come to pay tribute, the king of Donghu and the Xiongnu agreed to meet in Outuo in Maodun, and this time the king of Donghu asked for in addition to the livestock leather, there are also Maodun's Yanshi and BMW......

Marriage robbery, this is the custom of the Donghu people, if the wife is not robbed, they can't raise their heads in the Yiluo, they will first rob other tribesmen to live together, sometimes after half a year or hundreds of days, and then send cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock to the woman, as a dowry - if it is a Xiongnu woman, a Central Plains woman, only as a slave.

Women are still good at grabbing, and King Donghu is also a lover of this way.

"If Mao Dun doesn't dedicate, I will step on the single court, if Mao Dun dedicates, he will definitely make his subordinates look down on him, and then I will kill the past, 100,000 Huns, all of them will be renamed Donghu!"

After burning the dogs and sending the souls of the dead to the Red Mountain, the king of Donghu immediately ordered his troops to set off for the west, and also ordered:

"The defeat of Liaodong and Liaoxi must not be spread out so that the Huns know!"

"Let's go to Outuo first, receive the tribute from Maodun, wait for the horse to be fattened after the autumn, and then go south to Liaoxi and Liaodong, and cut off the head of the prince of Qin!"

……

After learning the news of the retreat of the Donghu people, Yangle City, the capital of western Liaoning, has become a sea of celebration.

More than a month ago, Yang Lecheng was surrounded by Hu Cai, crumbling, at the time of the crisis, it was Gongzi Fusu who led the Haidong soldiers to break the siege and retreat from the enemy, and he organized Liaodong and Liaoxi locals to form cavalry, personally risking arrows and stones, defeating Donghu on the white wolf water, killing more than 2,000 Hulu.

This is an exciting victory, now there is no felt tent in the north of the white wolf, and the locals finally don't have to worry about going out to farm, and they and their wives and daughters will be captured by Hu Qi.

The scouts sent to distant places reported that the entire Donghu tribe had begun to leave the old nest Chishan and march westward.

The danger was temporarily lifted, and as a result, the Qiantou of eastern and western Liaoxi was grateful to Fusu, and the prestige of the eldest son reached its peak in the two Liao......

But under this cheering and singing, Liu Dabeard, who was promoted to the leader because of his meritorious service in the Battle of White Wolf Water, expressed his concerns to Fusu in private.

"Childe, although the heads of Liaodong and Liaoxi are grateful for Gongzi's kindness in repelling the Hu people and saving them, they are natives, and there are probably not many people who are willing to return to the Central Plains with Gongzi. It's the Haidong soldiers, who have been in the water and gone to the fire in the past few months, scarred, and lost nearly a thousand people, and they didn't have the time to think about it when they resisted the Hu people, but afterwards, the robes complained a lot. ”

"The morale of the soldiers is indeed a little unstable......"

Fusu also noticed this situation, it was his decision to stay in Liangliao to defend against the Hu people, although it was said in the past, but in the final analysis, it was not good for the soldiers.

Liu Ji has recently been reused by Fusu, and took the opportunity to say: "When I first left Haidong, the soldiers had a simple idea and just went home. But now, after paying so much, just listening to the praise of the Liao people can't satisfy them. ”

Fusu looked at Liu Ji: "I have always rewarded me for not exceeding the time." ”

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Yes, Gongzi gave all the food and money and silk rewards offered by the two Liaos to everyone, but he didn't leave a penny. But these can only satisfy the desire of the pawn! ”

"As for Sima, the leader, and the five hundred masters, well, including me, Liu Ji."

Lao Liu patted his chest very boldly, and did not hesitate to stay out of the matter: "After following the general to win two battles and occupy two Liao as territory, what we ask for is not only so simple!" Childe must not be worried! ”

What are the officers asking for? It is human nature to be listed as a prince, or even to divide the territory and seal the territory.

And Fusu is still only called a son and a general, what does this make the people below think?

"Liu Ji, you are a sincere person, willing to tell me the truth."

Fusu was silent for a while, and said with his head bowed: "I know." ”

But Fusu still looked down on people's desires, and did not expect things to develop so quickly.

He didn't expect how bold Liu Ji was......

In the evening, when Fusu went to inspect the military camp again, although the loss was not small, but his team did not decrease but increased compared with when he just left Haidong.

Fusu only entered the depths of the camp, but saw the officials lined up in the court with their blades exposed, their faces solemn, as if they had been prepared.

"Wait, this is ......"

Fusu was surprised, but behind him, there were Liu Ji and Gao Cheng who had already prepared, Zhu Xuan, embroidered with twelve chapters of the crown dress to Fusu!

Without waiting for Fusu to react, under the leadership of Liu Ji and others, thousands of soldiers bowed down to Fusu, and the mountain shook:

"The first emperor has passed away, Hu Hai should not be established, the person who should be established is the eldest son, there is no master today, I hope that the prince will succeed the emperor!"
