After the Hun evil cavalry dispersed, thousands of Zhao cavalry also began to pursue.

This time the pursuit was very long, and it was not until sunset that the cavalry of the Zhao State who went out to pursue came back in twos and threes, and eight out of ten.

Almost every cavalry of the Zhao State had several or even a dozen Hun heads hanging next to their saddles, and all of them were beaming with joy on their faces, and some of them also raised the heads in their hands to show off to the rest of the people, usually killing officers such as Hun centurions and thousands, and then others would cast envious glances.

In the camp that had just been set up, Zhao Dan met the Aries King.

If you throw away the clothes on your body, then what appears in front of Zhao Dan is actually an old herdsman who is very tired and doesn't seem to have much fighting spirit.

There is no doubt that this Aries King is a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, which can be seen from the first action he made when he saw Zhao Dan.

The Aries King walked up to Zhao Dan and saluted respectfully, his head almost knee-level.

"I've seen the king!"

King Zhao and King Aries, just from these two titles, are obviously the same level.

But when the king of Aries saluted, he did the courtesy of a courtier.

Zhao Dan watched the actions of the Aries King, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the Zhao language of the Aries King is not fluent, there is no problem in communication, and given that his son Xianshan's Zhao language is also good, Zhao Dan is not surprised by this.

"King Aries, don't be polite, please take a seat. You were chased and killed by the Evil King all the way, and it must have been very hard. ”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the Aries King's face immediately showed a resentful expression, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This despicable fellow of the Evil King, one day, I will definitely break through his royal court and kill all his wife, children and relatives!" ”

After saying this, the Aries King suddenly felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Dan, and found that there was no unusual look on Zhao Dan's face, so he put his mind at ease, but his face was obviously still a little weak.

Zhao Dan opened his mouth and said: "King Aries, if you can, the widow hopes that you can tell the widow about the situation of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting." ”

This is the most direct reason why Zhao Dan agreed to save the Aries King.

Since there is almost no mention in the history books about the specific situation of the Xiongnu before Mao Dunshan, Zhao Dan himself can be said to be blind to the Xiongnu in the current Warring States Period, and he urgently needs someone to provide information.

A tribal king who can compete for the position of the Xiongnu must be extremely familiar with the situation within the Xiongnu.

The Aries King was also happy, and directly told everything he knew.

In the original Xiongnu Alliance, the Hugh clan led by Hugh Li Shan Yu was dominant, a bit similar to the gang boss, while the other tribes were gang brothers.

It's a pity that the Xiongnu first suffered a serious snowstorm two years ago, and then were attacked by the Zhao army when they went south.

Under such circumstances, it was clear that the declining Sulphur clan was no longer enough to lead the grassland, so many powerful tribes began to look at Shan Yu's position.

Hughley Shan died last year, so at the Shan Yu Court Conference this spring, many tribal kings started a game for the position of the next generation of Shan Yu.

The Evil King and the Aries King are the two people with the highest voices, and both of them have a 10,000-strong horse under their command, and their strength is very strong.

When Zhao Dan heard this, his mouth couldn't help twitching.

One thousand horsemen, it seems that there are only five or six thousand people, and seven or eight thousand people are killed.

Seven or eight thousand cavalry can become a strong competitor to Xiongnu Shan Yu?

Speaking of which, in the first two years, Hughley seemed to have tens of thousands of cavalry when he went south, which seemed to be a collection of the main elite of the Huns, and it seems that the Huns in this era are really weak......

What Zhao Dan didn't know was that the Xiongnu in this era had a sworn enemy Yueshi in the west, a strong neighbor Donghu in the east, a fierce Warring States prince in the south, and a snowy Siberia in the north, and it was not unified itself, so it was normal to be weak.

It was not until the rise of Maodun, the integration of the internal forces of the Xiongnu, the elimination of Donghu, the defeat of the Yueshi, the conquest of the Western Regions, and the increase of the land and population several times, that there was the extremely powerful Xiongnu Empire, which made the Han Dynasty have to avoid its edge.

"So the Aries King Ru was defeated by the Evil King, right?" Zhao Dan asked.

The old man of the Aries King blushed and said indignantly: "That shameful evil king, it is clear that we will send 5,000 warriors from each side of the two divisions to fight, and the winner will become the next Xiongnu Shan Yu." However, he secretly united with several other tribes and launched a surprise attack while the battle was in place, otherwise with his Evil Tribe, he would not be able to be the opponent of my Aries tribe at all! ”

Zhao Dan understands this.

The IQ is not enough, and it is yin.

Zhao Dan asked again: "So what is the next plan of the Aries King?" ”

The Aries King glanced at Zhao Dan and asked tentatively: "I heard that the king's Zhao State has a strong army and is the crown of the Central Plains, I don't know if I can borrow 10,000 cavalry with me, if I can destroy the evil and win the position of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, I will definitely lead the grassland tribes to surrender to the king, and let the grassland become the territory of Zhao State!" ”

For this very tempting opinion, Zhao Dan refused without even thinking about it.

"King Aries, in addition to Zhao State, there are six heroes standing side by side in the Central Plains, and the strength of the widows is now overstretched, and they really can't help you."

What are you kidding, borrowing 10,000 cavalry to help you fight for the throne? If the widow really can get this 10,000 cavalry, the widow himself will not conquer the grassland.

Seeing that Zhao Dan refused to agree, the Aries King showed a helpless look on his face, so he had no choice but to say: "Since the king is unwilling to send troops, can you ask the king to divide a pasture for our Aries tribe, so that our Aries tribe can live temporarily?" ”

For this request, Zhao Dan agreed very happily: "No problem, the widow will allocate a pasture to the Ru tribe in Shuofang County, but your tribe needs to pay taxes every year, and it will send cavalry to fight for the widow and the Zhao State in proportion to the same as Lin Hu and Lou Fu, this is no problem, right?" ”

Regarding Zhao Dan's request, the Aries King also agreed happily.

In fact, the current Aries King does not have any room for bargaining, Zhao Danken is willing to give a place for the Aries tribe to recuperate, after all, the current Aries tribe all adds up to five or six thousand people, which is not enough for Zhao Dan's seven thousand Zhao cavalry to charge once.

After the Aries King left, Li Mu, who had been sitting beside Zhao Dan, spoke with some doubts: "King, this Aries King is obviously ambitious, why does the King keep this person?" ”

Zhao Dan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." Although this Aries King is ambitious, it is precisely because he is ambitious that the widow can take advantage of him, isn't it? By the way, you can get closer to that virtuous Shan these days, maybe in the future, when the widow asks you to go to conquer the Xiongnu royal court, this virtuous Shan can still act as a guide for you! ”

Li Mu was originally a little unhappy after hearing Zhao Dan say something close to Xianshan, but after listening to Zhao Dan's words, he was overjoyed.

If there is any general in the Zhao State who has the highest degree of hatred for the Xiongnu, Li Mu, who has been stationed in Gaoque for many years, is definitely the first person who deserves to be the first.

So Li Mu immediately bowed down and received the order: "Oh! ”

Looking at Li Mu's departing figure, Zhao Dan sat alone in the tent and thought about it for a long time.

The Xiongnu civil strife, this seems to be an excellent opportunity for Zhao to go north to the desert and advance into the plateau.

Shouldn't you think about it, do it to the Huns?
