Spring had just arrived, and the countless cavalry in Hetao County had begun to assemble in Dingxi City again.

Yi Qusheng stood on the camp wall of the big camp outside Dingxi City, his eyes fixed on the Hun cavalry under his feet who kept entering the camp wall, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Wait, why do we need so many Huns this time?" Yi Qusheng couldn't help but ask Li Mu beside him.

Li Mu glanced at Yiqusheng a little strangely, and the kind of mocking look that made Yiqusheng very hated appeared again: "Of course, this is because the Huns are good candidates for cavalry. ”

Yi Qusheng shouted very unconvinced: "But Lin Hu and Lou are also very good cavalry candidates!" ”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Didn't you find out?" Lin Hu and Lou annoying people have actually begun to slowly degenerate over the years. ”

"Degraded?" Yiqu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, degradation." Li Mu nodded very seriously and said, "Since the beginning of the Martial Spirit King to the present, Lin Hu and Lou Fu have taken refuge in our Zhao Kingdom for decades, and these decades have made them change from a pure nomadic people to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural people. And judging from the current situation, it is likely that in another fifty years, these guys will completely degenerate into an agrarian nation. This is why the Pontus will use the Hun cavalry. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Mu walked down from the courtyard wall.

Yi Qusheng looked at Li Mu's back, and suddenly muttered: "He didn't tell the truth, at least not all of them." ”

In Yiqusheng's sight, two Xiongnu nobles who had a relationship with Yiqusheng jumped off their horses and saluted Li Mu respectfully.

"Xianshan has seen the Metropolitan Governor!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulders of the two Huns in front of him very affectionately: "It's been hard work all the way." ”

Although he is a Xiongnu Shan Yu, Xianshan does not seem to have any Shan Yu's arrogance, and his smile is also very humble when he faces Li Mu: "Go back to Dadu, don't work hard." To be able to fight for the Zhao State and the Great King is a blessing for our Huns. ”

"It's the Huns." Li Mu corrected Xianshan's slip of the tongue very seriously.

In this era and even earlier, it was a common practice in Chinese civilization to disparage other ethnic groups by their names, such as "Yidi", which was a derogatory term.

But this is not actually the most excessive, in the early and middle Zhou Dynasty, the so-called Western Zhou Dynasty, the area north and west of Guanzhong was active in the area of a powerful people, its name is called the Rong people.

There are many countries of the Rong people, such as Dirong, Rongrong, Zhai Rong, and Yiqurong, where Yiqu Sheng is located, and so on.

But the most famous is undoubtedly the dog Rong.

Dogs, dogs too.

The word dog can be simply interpreted as "dog Rong person", which is itself a dirty word.

Why did the people of the Zhou Dynasty, who followed the etiquette, call the dog Rong with such an indecent word?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because a long time ago, the Zhou people were also a member of the nomadic people on the plateau, and later they couldn't beat the dog Rong, and they were driven from the plateau to the Guanzhong Plain by the dog Rong.

It is precisely because of this that the Zhou Dynasty gave this race such an ugly name "Dog Rong".

The title of "Xiongnu", because of the word "slave", also carries a strong sense of discrimination like the dog Rong.

Therefore, after Xianshan surrendered to Zhao State, the word "Xiongnu" with an obvious derogatory connotation was removed.

These steppe people, who are now regarded as the people of Zhao, have their new names called "Huns".

Of course, those remnants who are still wandering in Mobei and refuse to belong to the Central Plains are still named "Xiongnu".

Roughly speaking, it is the specific manifestation of "Yidi enters China, and China is the same".

Although he hated the Huns very much, Li Mu was still very polite to these Hun generals who had become his own people.

After a few words of greetings that didn't hurt or itch, Li Mu summoned a Zhao ** official: "You quickly take the two generals to the camp they have assigned, so that the subordinates brought by the two generals can quickly camp and rest!" ”

Xian Shan and Tu Xian said goodbye to Li Mu and followed this Zhao ** official.

The two of them were talking in a low voice as they walked.

Tu said: "Do you know? In fact, this Grand Governor has a deep prejudice against us Huns, and it is really surprising that he is so kind to you and me this time. ”

Xianshan sighed noncommittally, glanced at the Zhao ** official who was walking in front of him, and confirmed that no one could hear the conversation between the two of them before he spoke: "It's not surprising that he hates the Huns, you must know that he has been fighting against our Huns for many years." By the way, it's those damned Mobei Huns, not us, we are now the Huns of Zhao. ”

"Huns, Huns." Tu Xian shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It doesn't sound like there's a difference. ”

Xianshan snorted and said, "The difference between this is big, remember my words Tu Xian, you will be a Hun in the future, and you will no longer be a damn Huns." Forget the word Huns, or it will bring disaster to you sooner or later. ”

Tu Xian snorted: "You are Shan Yu, you have the final say." ”

"Shan Yu?" Xianshan snorted again and said, "From today onwards, you have to call me the king, understand?" In front of any Zhao people, I am the Hun Jun of Zhao! ”

Hun Jun is the title given by Zhao Dan to Xianshan, and it is also evidence that Xianshan is a courtier of Zhao State.

"Yes, your lord." Tu Xian grinned, and didn't seem to take Xianshan's words too seriously: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty, I don't really understand why you have to come in person, aren't you worried that those guys from Mobei will go south to attack our Anping City?" ”

Xianshan shook his head and said, "You don't understand, those guys who fled to Mobei have been frightened by Li Mu, they are likely to choose to go west or east, but they will definitely not choose to go south." And this is the first time that we have participated in a foreign war as a courtier of Zhao State, and we must have a good performance. ”

After a pause, Xianshan suddenly whispered: "Listen, this time, I hope that we Huns, no, the more good men of the Huns die in battle, the better." ”

"What?" Tu Xian's eyes widened, and he looked at Xianshan in front of him in disbelief: "Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?" ”

"You heard me right, and I didn't say it wrong." Xianshan Zhengse said to Tu Xian: "This time we brought a total of 8,000 people, I don't want more than 3,000 people to be able to return to Anping City with us. ”

"Are you crazy?" Tu Xian stared at Xianshan as if he were looking at a monster: "They are our clansmen, and you, as Shan Yu, only want to let them die?" ”

Xian Shan glared at Tu Slanted viciously: "You idiot, do you think this is what I want to see?" But let me tell you, a strong Hun is not allowed by the king of Zhao, and if we want to continue to live, then we must keep shedding blood for Zhao, the more we bleed, the better! Only a weak, loyal Hun tribe was what the king of Zhao and Li Mu, the governor of the north, wanted to see. Otherwise, why do you think Li Mu would be so polite to us? It's because he knows this, and he understands that I know it! ”

Tu Xian's whole person was stunned.

Although Tu Xian really hopes to join Zhao and become a member of the armored cavalry, Tu Xian is a Hun after all, and he also has a deep affection for the Hun tribe.

Therefore, when he learned that most of his brothers and warriors who came to participate in the war this time were going to face death, Tu Xian couldn't calm down no matter what.

"Why, why don't the king and the governor want to believe us? We have obviously surrendered to them, and the entire Monan grassland has obviously become the territory of Zhao State! ”

There was obvious grief and indignation in Tu Xian's voice.

Xianshan sighed and said, "That's not what I said, in fact, I can serve as Shan Yu, this is the trust that the king and the metropolitan governor have in me." But you have to understand that loyalty is not something that comes out of slogans, it can only be proven through war and blood. The blood shed by our Huns for Zhao is not worthless, only the more blood shed, the faster we can integrate into Zhao and be truly accepted by Zhao. ”

Speaking of this, Xian Shan patted Tu Xian's shoulder: "Haven't you become the partial general of Zhao State now?" That's a great place to start. You and I both understand that we Huns are wolves on the steppe, but Zhao is the lion of Megatron! It is an honor for us Huns to shed blood for such a lion! When we prove our loyalty with our blood, we will eventually become part of this mighty nation! And you and I, our descendants, will sing the praises of our wise decisions for generations to come. Do not be afraid of bloodshed, for our blood will be the best talisman for our children and grandchildren! ”

Tu Xian was silent for a long time, looking at Xianshan with complicated eyes, and suddenly let out a long breath, and said to Xianshan in an extremely serious tone: "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that the Great King and the Grand Governor chose you as Shan Yu, which is really a very wise decision. ”

Xianshan laughed and accepted Tu Xian's praise very calmly: "Actually, I have an idea, Shan Yu has always been equivalent to the king of the Central Plains country, and I feel that there is something wrong with the title here." Perhaps we should present ourselves to Handan after this battle and suggest that the king be crowned as 'Tiandan Yu'. ”

"Tiandanyu? That's bigger than you? ”

"You're just talking nonsense! Of course, it is bigger than Shan Yu, and the bigger the better! ”

Xianshan laughed and scolded, glanced at Tu Xian, and the two laughed out loud in unison. Real lady online service, help you find books to chat with you, please micro / letter / search / search hot online article or rd444 waiting for you to tease~
