Kill the tiger, also known as the killing Hukou, that is, the famous west mouth of the Ming and Qing dynasties, has always been the traffic artery connecting the north and the south, but because of the different background and situation, the pre-Qin and Warring States periods did not pay enough attention to this pass, the Han Dynasty was not long after the founding of the country, the national strength was weak, and there was no strength to renovate and strengthen the Great Wall, so in this era, killing the tiger's mouth was just a very ordinary pass, and there was no market set up, and there was no decent fortification, which led to the southern invasion of the Huns to take this pass to kill into the hinterland of Yanmen, When retreating and fleeing, he also walked here and fled back to the grassland.

Xiang Zhuang, whose talent is not particularly outstanding, finally predicted a hand this time, and on the way to flee north, it was indeed not the first Maudun to lead the army to the mouth of the tiger, and the first to lead the army to come here, just a Hun Baichang who was wounded in the battle, and dozens of Hun defeated soldiers under his command.

To the surprise of this Xiongnu Baichang, when he rushed to the vicinity of the Killing Tiger Pass where the two mountains were facing each other, on the ruins of the Killing Tiger Pass that had been deliberately razed to the ground by the Xiongnu army, a small camping camp was built with several tents, and some Han soldiers were active on the ruins, and they didn't know whether to take on the task of sentry or prepare to rebuild the Killing Tiger Mouth. Because he was tired from the south, the people were sleepy and tired, and he didn't know how many enemies there were, for the sake of prudence, this Hun Baichang could only quickly order his subordinates to stop advancing, and prepare to find out the enemy's situation first, and then decide whether to rush directly or retreat slightly and wait for reinforcements.

"The Huns are coming! Run! Run! ”

The reaction of the Han soldiers once again surprised the Hun Baichang, seeing the appearance of the Hun cavalry, the group of Han soldiers actually fled to the depths of the mountains and forests to the west, obviously did not have the courage to fight with the Hun cavalry. The Hun Baichang was secretly happy when he saw it, and he hurriedly took his subordinates to continue north, and came to the vicinity of the camping camp left by the group of Han soldiers, and then before the Hun Baichang could see the camp situation clearly, the fragrance of food had already entered his nose.

"There's something to eat!"

The tired and hungry Hun Baichang hurriedly looked around, and soon saw a big sheep roasted golden on the bonfire of the Han army camp, and there were several stacks of baked dough cakes next to it, and the other few piles of bonfires were also boiling fragrant broth, and on the way to escape, the Huns Baichang, who was just hurriedly gnawing a few mouthfuls of dry meat, was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly dismounted and rushed forward, without saying a word, grabbed a piece of bread and gnawed it, and his subordinates also cheered and roared up, you fought for me to share the food left by the Han soldiers.

During this period, several Hun soldiers, of course, first stared at the roasted big sheep, and couldn't wait to take it down from the fire to take the knife to be divided, the Hun Baichang saw that his heart moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Slow, just eat the others, don't move this sheep." ”

"Baichang, why?" A few Hun cavalrymen asked strangely.

"Leave us the Great Khan." The Hun replied: "The Great Khan has led us north to retreat, and now we must be tired and hungry, and as his loyal subjects, of course we must leave the best to him." ”

After explaining, the Hun Baichang smiled again and said: "When the Great Khan was the most hungry, we left the best things to give him, and he must be happy to see it, and then he will not treat us badly, don't you understand?" ”

Several Hun soldiers woke up, for the sake of reward, and also for promotion and wealth, the Hun soldiers present nodded one after another, and said: "Baichang is right, as subjects of the Great Khan, we should leave the best things to the Great Khan." ”

"Let's eat something else." The Hun Baichang grabbed a few pieces of bread and threw them to the Hun soldiers who were carrying the sheep, and said: "Wrap this sheep and give it to the Great Khan for a while, even if we don't have the opportunity, we can share it when we are hungry." ”

Although a little reluctant, but in order to please the boss and Mao Dun, several Hun soldiers still chose to wrap the roasted whole sheep with the tent cloth left by the Han soldiers, and handed it over to the Hun Baichang to personally take care of it, and then grabbed other food left by the Han soldiers to eat, fortunately, the group of timid Han soldiers left a lot of food, not only enough for this group of Hun defeated soldiers to eat, but also their war horses to share some food.

When the broth was drunk, more Hun defeated soldiers had already arrived at the scene, afraid of being robbed of their credit by their superiors, this Hun Baichang hurriedly tied the roasted whole sheep to his war horse, and then led his soldiers to hurriedly cross the mouth of the tiger, to the open place in the north to wait for the arrival of Mao Dun.

On Maoton's side, after rushing through the blocking position of the Shanwu Han army, in order to gather soldiers, Maodun decisively ordered the guards to re-play their white-haired sweat banner, and led the Hun defeated army to quickly go north, which also crossed the mouth of the tiger very smoothly and fled north to the open grassland.

After returning to the endless grassland, Mao Dun breathed a long sigh of relief, picked a gentle hill to stop and rest, held high his sweat banner to gather the defeated soldiers, and seized the time to regroup. As a result, Mao Dun secretly rejoiced in his heart, although he suffered a big defeat in Bantianling, he was chased by the Han army all the way, and was blocked by the Han army outside Shanwu City, but in the end, with the Huns who fled back to the grassland, it is conservatively estimated that there are still more than 100,000 troops, and in general, the vitality of the Huns still exists, even if it is impossible to be the opponent of the Han army in a short period of time, but as long as the Huns are given a little time to recuperate, the comeback is still a sure thing.

Not only that, most of the Xiongnu nobles also successfully fled back to the grassland, it didn't take long to set up the white-haired banner on the highlands, the Hun important ministers such as the Zuoxian King, the left and right Guli King and the Zuo Ri King returned to the front of Mao Dun, in addition to the left and right Wen Yu Yu King who stayed in the grassland and the right Xian King who had been killed, only the right Ri Zhuwang was missing, and Zang Tu also fled back to the grassland with the defeated army, and ran to Mao Dun in front of the cold and warmth, flattery.

Glancing around at the Hun nobles around him, seeing that most of them looked depressed and didn't see any smile on their faces, Mao suddenly couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are your faces so ugly?" We lost this battle, but most of our army is still there, even if we can't win the main force of the barbarians in the Central Plains, but the frontier army used to deal with the barbarians is still enough! They all made me happy, celebrating that we could retreat to the grassland with so many troops, and have the opportunity to seek revenge on the barbarians of the Central Plains in the future. ”

Still after listening to Mao Dun's encouragement, the Xiongnu nobles barely squeezed out some smiles, and Zang Di also hurriedly flattered in the still very stiff Xiongnu language: "The Great Khan is not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, and his subordinates admire." Yes, although we accidentally suffered a defeat, most of our army is still there, and under the wise leadership of the Great Khan, in a few years, we will be able to go south again and seek revenge on the tyrant army. ”

Mao Dun nodded again and again, and was indeed confident that he would be able to make a comeback soon, and he would definitely not slump, but as soon as he nodded, Mao Dun heard his stomach growling, and then remembered that he had not had time to eat a bite on the way to the north, so he beckoned to the Hun nobles present: "Sit down and rest for a while, eat a little by the way, and then discuss how we go next." ”

According to Mao Dun's instructions, the Xiongnu nobles present sat on the ground one after another, and the guards also hurriedly took out the dried meat jerky and offered it to Mao Dun, but just as Mao Dun was about to gnaw the hard meat jerky in the snow water, a guard suddenly ran quickly in front of Mao Dun and said: "Great Khan, we have a hundred elders who have sent a roast sheep, saying that it is for you to satisfy your hunger." ”

"Roast sheep?" Tired and hungry, Mao Ton's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered, "Quickly, bring him up." ”

According to Mao Dun's order, the previous Hun Baichang came to Mao Dun with the roast whole sheep he found in the mouth of the tiger before, and respectfully presented the roast sheep to Mao Dun, and implored Mao Dun to appreciate his face and eat, Mao Dun was naturally happy and strange when he saw it, and asked the Hun Baichang: "How did you find this roast sheep?" ”

"Hui Great Khan, it was found by the villain in the camp of the barbarians." The Hun Baichang first told him about the general experience of finding the whole sheep, and then said with a flattering face: "Originally, the villains were tired and hungry, and they all wanted to divide this roast sheep on the spot, but we thought that you must be more tired and hungry than the Great Khan, so we held back our hunger and specially left this sheep for you." ”

Seeing that the roasted whole sheep was indeed intact, which was enough to prove the loyalty of the subjects and soldiers to him, Mao Dun was of course even more happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, since this is your loyalty, then Ben Khan will accept it." Ben Khan will not ask for your things in vain, and you will be a thousand chiefs in the future, and you will be rewarded with a hundred cattle and sheep, and twenty male and female slaves, and one thousand gold. And all your men shall be rewarded with ten gold, ten sheep, and one male and one slave. ”

Of course, the Huns were even more overjoyed when they heard it, and hurriedly kowtowed to Mao Dun again and again to thank him, and left happily, and the guards also hurriedly carried the roast whole sheep that still had residual warmth to Mao Dun's face, Mao Dun took out a knife and was about to divide it, but suddenly saw that the Hun nobles led by Zuo Xian Wang were all staring at the roasted golden sheep, all of them were salivating, Mao Dun couldn't help but smile, and then beckoned: "Do it, we divide this roast sheep." King Donghulu, you must be hungry too, so come and eat some. ”

"Xie Da Khan." When the Xiongnu nobles heard this, they were busy dividing the mutton, and Zang Di was full of flattery, first cut off a roasted leg of mutton with both hands and offered it to Mao Dun, and then couldn't wait to cut off a piece of roast mutton and stuff it in his mouth to chew.

I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry or because the Han soldiers have good craftsmanship, or if it's both, in short, chewing the roast mutton with a warm and salty taste, the Hun nobles, including Mao Dun, feel that they have never eaten such delicious mutton in their lives, and King Zuo Xian also said vaguely while eating mutton: "Delicious, delicious, why have I never eaten such delicious roast mutton before?" ”

The hungry Mao Dun gnawed the whole leg of mutton into his stomach almost in a moment, and then wiped his grease mouth, and saw that several Hun nobles were still reluctantly gnawing on the mutton bones that had become bare rods, Mao Dun couldn't help but smile again, and said: "Don't eat so ashamedly, if you don't eat enough, take the jerky to fill your hunger, and then go to Huangqihai to find our people, as long as you meet our people, how much roast mutton you want." ”

"Great Khan, the Yellow Flag Sea is too close to Shanwu, will the barbarians continue to go north to hunt us down?" King Zuo Xian hurriedly asked.

"Of course, you can't stay in the Yellow Flag Sea for too long." Mao Dun replied: "When we arrived at Huangqihai, we found our people, and then immediately took them north to return to Shan Yuting, no matter how many barbarian troops there were, they would never dare to chase our Shan Yuting." ”

After finishing speaking, Mao Dun said casually: "King Zuoxian, you have suffered the heaviest loss this time, so let's do it, the fifteen tribes that Ben Khan deprived from King Youxian before will be compensated for you." The king of the right valley, Ben Khan now named you the king of the right sage, and the other kings ascended in turn, as for the vacant right day to chase the king....... ”

Speaking of this, Mao Dun hesitated slightly, but still turned to Zang Di and said, "King Donghulu, you take over as the king of the right day." ”

"Let your subordinates be promoted to the king of the right day?"

Zang Di was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears, and the Xiongnu nobles next to him were in an uproar, and they all said: "Great Khan, how can you let the Central Plains people be the king of the right day?" According to the rules, the ten kings of the Huns can only be served by Shan Yu's sons? ”

"The rules can be changed." Mao Dun said coldly: "This time we were defeated, heavy losses, in the next few years, we will definitely not be able to go south, but the revenge can not be avenged, the barbarian blockade of us must also find a way to break, the king of Donghulu is familiar with the situation of the Central Plains Yandi, let him be the king of the right day, we can start with Yan in the future." In addition, if the old subordinates of the king of Donghulu see that Ben Khan reuses him, it will be much easier for the king of Donghulu to buy and rebel against them in the future. ”

Explaining the reason for his reuse of Zang Di, Mao Dun said lightly: "It's so decided, King Donghulu has been promoted to the king of Youri, except for the fact that he has no qualifications to inherit Shan Yu, the other powers remain unchanged." ”

When Zang Di heard the great joy, he hurriedly kowtowed to Mao Dun again and again, and said with tears in his eyes: "The Great Khan trusts his subordinates so much, and his subordinates are broken to pieces, and it is difficult to repay the Great Khan's great kindness. ”

"Get up." Mao Dun said lightly: "When we return to Shan Yuting, Ben Khan will immediately officially give you the title of the king of the right day, and let you command the tribe and army of the king of the right day, and in the future, you will use your old department in Yandi to do everything possible to break the grain and salt blockade of the barbarians in the Central Plains, and at least solve the problem of salt for us." ”

Zang Tu agreed, and hurriedly thanked Mao Dun again and again, and promised that he would try his best to break the trade blockade of the Han army, Mao Dun nodded, and looked at the Hun army under the low hill, and saw that most of the Hun defeated soldiers had found their team through the banner, so he stood up and said: "Let's go, first retreat to Daihai and then rest, and then go north to ......, ouch." ”

Speaking of this, Mao Dun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, so he subconsciously covered his stomach, looked left and right to find a suitable place to defecate, Zang Tu observed the words and guessed that Mao Dun wanted to defecate, hurriedly untied his coat, and said to Mao Dun's guards: "Everyone, wrap around with clothes, please pay tribute to the king." ”

The guards sang their promises, and they hurriedly followed Zang Di's example to undress and build a tent, and respectfully invited Mao Dun to enter and leave Gong, but Mao Dun had just squatted down in the temporary tent, and King Zuo Xian actually covered his stomach and got in, and said with a wry smile: "The Great Khan forgives his sins, and there is something wrong with the stomach of his subordinates." ”

Mao Dun never cared about his subordinates in this kind of trivial matter, and nodded and let Zuo Xian Wang squat next to him, but Zuo Xian Wang had just taken off his pants and squatted down, Zuo Ri Zhuwang actually followed in and out of Gong, and then the left and right Gu Li Wang and the left and right gradually general Wang did the same, Mao Dun, whose stomach was already more painful, saw strange, and couldn't help but say: "What's the matter?" Stomach ache so coincidentally? ”

"The Great Khan forgives his sins, it's really painful and unbearable." The king of the right valley, who came in at the end, replied with a wry smile, and then groaned twice.

At this time, something that surprised Mao Dun even more appeared, Zang Di, who had undressed and set up an account, actually squatted in, and said helplessly: "Please forgive the Great Khan, Your Majesty, ouch, Your Majesty's stomach suddenly hurt." ”

One person is an accident, two people are a coincidence, and three people are miracles, but six of the ten kings of the Huns present, as well as Mao Dun himself and Zang Di, eight people have severe pain in their abdomen at the same time and need to be congratulated, Mao Dun immediately understood that the situation was extremely wrong, and then just thought about it for a while, Mao Dun couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and blurted out: "Could it be that the roast sheep just now is poisonous?" Otherwise, how could those of us who ate roast mutton happen to have all our stomachaches? ”

"Ouch! That's right, otherwise how could it be so coincidental? King Zuo Xian came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, bring the hundred elders who sacrificed the sheep just now, ouch, quickly arrest him!" ”

When the guards took the order to leave, Mao Dun, who ate the most roast mutton, not only had more pain in his abdomen, but also gradually began to rotate in front of his eyes, and his limbs were throbbing (spasms). Bring the medical workers quickly, and find a way to detoxify Ben Khan, quickly find a way to detoxify Ben Khan! Ouch! Fast! ”

Heaven made a big joke with Mao Dun, so that Mao Dun was lucky enough to avoid the poisoned arrows of the Han army agents, but he sent a roast whole sheep coated with arsenic on the inside and outside to Mao Dun, and let Mao Dun eat it defenselessly, and then before the medical worker was brought to Mao Dun, Mao Dun had already fallen into his bloody stool, his whole body convulsed, gradually lost consciousness, and blood gradually flowed out of his mouth, no matter how anxious the guards were, crying and shaking, Mao Dun never woke up......

"Great Khan——! Sweat! You can't go! We still have to count on you to take us to find the barbarian for revenge! ”

"King Zuoxian——! King Gu Li——! The King of the Sun——! ”

"King Donghulu! Why can't you do it anymore? ”

Xiang Kang's nephew Xiang Xiang's almost child's play of poison traps played a miraculous effect, and also created a huge assassination miracle, not only successfully poisoned the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun, but also poisoned the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King, the left and right Guli King, the left and right gradually general king and Zuo Ri Zhuwang six kings, as well as the largest leading party in this era, the Xiongnu Donghulu King Zang Di! So much so that after Xiang Kang learned about this situation, he never dared to touch the food sent by his nephew Xiang again in his life, and had to arrange two eunuchs to test the poison for himself. There are also adulterers who lead to future generations** When they are preparing to murder their husbands, they must first worship Xiang Qi's spiritual position and pray for Xiang Qi to bless his poisoning smoothly.

Xiang its child's play poisoning also directly led to the chaos of the grassland, because Mao Dun died too suddenly and did not have time to designate a successor, the Xiongnu left and right in the grassland after receiving the news, soon fought for the throne of Shan Yu Khan, not only let the Xiongnu not only have no strength to invade the grassland in the south, but also let the Xiongnu gradually split hundreds of years in advance.
