To the west of Donghu, the court of the Xiongnu king.

This is the largest gathering place of the Huns, and it is the location of Mao Dunshan Yu, and there are many tents of different sizes. Among them, the king's tent with Shan Yu is the largest and the most dazzling.

When the envoys of Donghu arrived, Mao Dun, as he had done on the previous three occasions, gathered his courtiers together at the meeting.

In the huge king's tent, the Xiongnu ministers stood on the left and right, mainly the left and right Dadu Lieutenants, the left and right Dadanghu, the left and right Gudu Hou, the left and right Da and Qu, the king of Haosu, the left and right generals, the left and right prime ministers, and so on.

Although the Xiongnu were all soldiers and established the country by force, there were also civilian officials who handled government affairs.

Maudon sat in the middle of the top, he was about thirty years old, strong in build, and rough in appearance.

Immediately, the Donghu envoy swaggered into the king's tent, looking arrogant.

Donghu people came, there will be no good thing, the past three blackmails, to Shan Yu asked for war horses, the Yan clan, Mao Dun actually agreed, looking at the appearance of the messenger, the Hun courtiers were full of anger.

Maudun, on the other hand, was expressionless, and no one knew what was in his mind.

The envoy said to Mao Dun: "Our king said that we want to occupy the open space outside the outpost on the border between the Xiongnu and Donghu, and you Xiongnu can't go, so give it to Donghu." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were even more angry.

Mao Dun was still expressionless, first looked around at the courtiers with a sharp gaze, and then said, "What do you think?" ”

Suddenly, the courtiers spoke one after another, angrily denouncing Donghu.

The envoy looked at the angry Hun courtiers on both sides, with a sneer, and did not pay attention to them at all.

At this time, one of the ministers said: "This is a discarded open space, and in order to avoid war between the two sides, it is okay to give it to them." ”

When he said this, he drew the anger of others.

Shan Yu did not make a decision immediately, but observed the reaction of the courtiers, at this time, it can be described as a surge of emotions, thinking, it's time.

Mao Dun said loudly: "Land is the foundation of the country, how can you give it to them!" ”

Shan Yu's attitude is a 360-degree change from the past, and the Donghu envoys and the courtiers present are all the same.

Mao Dun continued: "Donghu bullied me too much, we have reached the limit of tolerance, what do you say we should do? ”

The courtiers quickly came back to their senses and shouted in unison to fight the Huns.

The Donghu envoy saw that the momentum was not right, and said loudly: "Hmph! If you dare to be the enemy of Donghu, the king will definitely destroy the Huns! ”

Mao Dun shouted, "Someone! Cut down this Donghu thief! ”

The guards guarding the gate of the king's tent rushed in and dragged the messenger out.

"Maudun, the king will not let you go! The king will not let ...... go"

While he was still scolding, the Huns had already executed him.

Mao Dun pointed to the courtier who had given Donghu the land, and said loudly: "Cut him down too!" ”

The man was soon executed again.

At this time, the courtiers present all saw Shan Yu's determination, chanting the slogan of eliminating Donghu, which can be described as a surging crowd, during this time, the Huns were bullied by Donghu, and they were full of anger and could only suppress it, and they could finally vent it at this moment.

Mao Dun looked around at his courtiers, an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, his purpose had been achieved. He has great ambitions, bent on defeating and subduing the grassland tribes, including Donghu, and he deliberately showed weakness to Donghu and bowed his head, which was not only to paralyze Donghu and make the king of Donghu despise the Xiongnu; It is also to arouse the anger of the Hun soldiers and completely vent it in the battle against Donghu.

For the women, war horses, and belongings that bid farewell to Donghu in the past, all of them will be asked back.

"I order, immediately start a war against Donghu, and if anyone retreats, they will be killed!"

Mao Dun immediately issued an order for the army to assemble, and he was to personally lead the army to attack Donghu.

——————

In the court of the king of Donghu, in the king's tent, the king of Donghu drank in the company of the woman sent by Mao Dun, this woman was the Xiongnu clan, in the first few months, the king of Donghu asked Mao Dun for the Yan clan and Maxima, and Mao Dun agreed.

King Donghu put his arm around the Yan family and said to her: "Mao Dun is a coward, and beauties should belong to a strong man like me!" ”

Yan Shi forced a smile, as a woman, she had no right to decide her own fate, Mao Dun gave her to the old man in front of her, and she could only accept her fate.

King Donghu made love to her, the Yan family is indeed very beautiful, but Wei Fang is even more beautiful, let him covet it for a long time, the team sent out to greet the relatives has set off, and it can be rushed back in a few days, thinking that Wei Fang will be available soon, King Donghu is excited.

Gongsun next to him said: "King, the queen of Zhao is more beautiful, but you can raise troops to fight, and ask Zhao Xie to hand over Zhao Qian." ”

He had to do everything he could to induce powerful forces to send troops to Zhao to avenge his son.

King Donghu nodded and said: "I Donghu is invincible in the world, the woman I fancie, then Zhao Xie doesn't dare not give it, first get Wei Fang to enjoy it, and then discuss this matter." ”

During the Warring States Period, the Xiongnu and Donghu were the two major forces in the northern grassland, for a long time, the strength of the Xiongnu was superior, and Mao Dun showed weakness to Donghu and confessed, so that the king of Donghu was empty-eyed, he was afraid of the previous unified Qin State, but now the Central Plains is divided, he really doesn't care about it.

"The Huns are coming! The Huns are coming! ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the tent, and soon, a Donghu soldier hurriedly entered the king's tent and reported: "Great king, the Huns are here!" It came suddenly, and the people in front couldn't stop it! ”

King Donghu was startled, let go of the hand holding the Yan family, Huo Di stood up, and said contemptuously: "Hmph! Mao Dun refused to give me land, and dared to resist, that is to seek death. ”

He immediately issued an order to gather troops and horses to crusade against the Xiongnu.

The next day, the Donghu army marched westward, and soon after departure, it received a report that the Xiongnu army was coming.

"Just in time, destroy them all!"

King Donghu sneered, even though the speed of the Huns was beyond his expectations, he still did not take the opponent to heart, and ordered the army to attack, in his heart, it was easy to defeat the Huns.

Half a day later, King Donghu received a report that his troops had been defeated.

At this time, the king of Donghu was alert, but it was too late, and Mao Dun had already led a large army to kill him.

Mao Dun went to war, to take advantage of the anger of the soldiers, to destroy Donghu as quickly as possible, this time he personally led the army to fight, is to go straight to the court of Donghu Wang, first solve the Donghu King, and then clean up the rest of the tribes.

According to the number of people, Donghu and Xiongnu have the same population, Donghu itself has strong strength, if the Xiongnu want to defeat Donghu with strength, it is not possible to do it overnight, and will pay a lot of price. Mao Dun was a military genius, so he set the strategy of paralyzing Donghu and then attacking the royal court, if Donghu was vigilant first, and then gathered the troops of various tribes, it would really take a lot of effort to defeat it.

Under the sudden attack of the Xiongnu, the light enemy's Donghu soldiers suffered heavy losses, and there was no time to gather the armies of other tribes, and Mao Dun had already killed the royal court.

Another day passed, the king of Donghu saw that the momentum was not right, and wanted to escape, but Mao Dun would not give him a chance, and after defeating the troops directly under the king of Donghu, he immediately divided his troops and deployed around the royal court, so that the king of Donghu had no way to escape.

In the afternoon, the court of Donghu Wang.

The fighting had stopped, all the men who dared to resist were killed, and the women, livestock, and possessions became spoils of war.

In the king's tent, Mao Dun sat on the seat of the former king of Donghu, and the Yan clan, who had become his woman again, was extremely happy.

King Donghu and Gongsun said they were taken in.

Mao Dun's eyes were like electricity, and he said coldly: "You didn't expect to have today!" ”

King Donghu's face was like ashes, his expression was decadent, and he didn't say a word.

Yan sneered: "Shan Yu is the strongest man, and today is your end." ”

Mao Dun said to the Yan family: "This time, the Yan family has suffered!" ”

Immediately, the king of Donghu was dragged out and executed.

Mao Dun moved his gaze to Gongsun and said.

Gongsun said that he was not in a hurry, and said: "I am not from Donghu, but from Yanguo, if you don't kill me, you can keep it for future use." ”

Seeing this person so cold, Mao suddenly became interested and said, "What's the use of keeping you for me?" ”

Gongsun said: "Shan Yu is wise and martial, and if he cleans up Donghu, the entire grassland tribe will be subjugated sooner or later." I believe that Shan Yu's goal is not limited to this, the fertility of the Central Plains land and the prosperity of the city are not comparable to the grassland, and I believe that Shan Yu will be interested. ”

Then, he told his origins, made it clear that Zhao Xie and Li Zuoche were enemies, and finally said: "I am familiar with the situation of the Central Plains and Yan Zhao, and I am willing to give advice to Shan Yu." ”

Serving a certain is just a means, and getting rid of Zhao Xie and Li Zuoche by the hands of others is the ultimate goal.

Listening to Gongsun said that it made sense, Mao Dun spared his life and kept him by his side, Mao Dun wanted to dominate the world, and he didn't know much about the Central Plains, Gongsun said that this person might be of some use.

Maudun immediately issued an order to send his generals to attack the various tribes of Donghu.

——————

In the tribes south of Donghu, because of the faster recovery than in previous years, many people drove their horses and livestock out of their pens and grazing on the grasslands around the tribe.

There was a welcoming procession sent by the king of Donghu waiting outside the king's tent.

Wei Fang said goodbye to her family with a melancholy mood, although she was reluctant, but she still had to leave, and she got into the carriage prepared by King Donghu.

The team set off for the north.

Wei Fang, who was sitting in the carriage, burst into tears, she could only accompany the king of Donghu for the rest of her life, and when the king of Donghu died, she would have to accompany her son who took over the throne of the king, she hated this kind of rule very much.

The valet is equally sad, and she also wants to be the king's woman.

Less than a quarter of an hour after departure, the carriage stopped.

Wei Fang lifted the curtain of the car body, and saw more than a dozen cavalry running from the north, some of them were still wounded, and everyone looked panicked, obviously they had just fought not long ago.

There were dozens of people in the welcoming procession, looking at them in amazement.

Did something happen? Wei Fang and the maid got down from the carriage, and Wei Fang asked each other loudly, "What happened?" ”

One of them replied: "The Huns have been killed, and the royal court has been lost!" ”

This team of men and horses escaped from the battle of Donghu Wangting.

Everyone was taken aback, and Wei Fang and the maid quickly ran to the king's tent.

After returning, as soon as the elder learned of the situation, he immediately gave the order for the troops to assemble, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

As soon as the order was given, two fast horses galloped from the north, soldiers of the tribe.

"Oh no! The Huns have come to kill, and there are a lot of them! ”

The sound of the horn "Woo woo woo ......" was the order to assemble, and the people who were grazing around the tribe would rush back when they heard it.

Because the king of Donghu gave the tribe a lot of horses and livestock, and some of them grazed in farther places, they could not hear the sound of the horn, and the elders sent additional troops to inform them.

Inside the big tent, the main characters came one after another.

The elder looked heavy, even the royal court was destroyed, the king was killed, the Donghu troops did not have time to assemble, could not concentrate and unify the command, it was difficult to resist the sudden Huns, and the situation was very serious.

Wei Fang was anxious, King Donghu was killed, of course she didn't have to be his woman, but the Donghu tribe would then fall into disaster, which she didn't want to see.

When Jin Lun returned, he asked, "What happened?" ”

He was told about the current situation.

Jin Lun felt that things were not simple, and quickly figured out the key point, and said: "The Hun soldiers are so strong, but Mao Dun repeatedly bowed his head to Donghu, it seems that this is deliberate." ”

The elder sighed, "Yes! Maudun really has the means, and the situation is very unfavorable to us. ”

Around the tribe, people who had gone out rushed back, men on horseback, and women drove their livestock.

Soon, a trumpet sounded from the north, which was completely different from the rhythm of the trumpet that ordered the assembly, which was a warning of the coming enemy.

And when they came out of the tent, they looked north, and saw a large number of horses on the horizon in the distance.

At this time, the tribe had not yet all rushed back, and only nearly half a centaur had been gathered, about 8,000 people.

Jin Lun said: "Maodun's methods are really ruthless, and he wants to take advantage of the fact that our people have no time to assemble and defeat us." ”

The Elder gave the order to send six thousand troops into battle.

This Xiongnu army was led by Zuo Dadanghu, with a number of 15,000.

After capturing the court of the Donghu king, Mao Dun learned the location of the various tribes of Donghu and sent troops to attack. The purpose of the troops led by Zuo Dadanghu was to destroy this tribe.

The Hun soldiers and the Donghu soldiers fought on the grassland, first attacking each other with cavalry and shooting, and then fighting fiercely after rushing closer.

The Hun soldiers themselves were full of anger, and they were superior to the Donghu soldiers in training, and they also had an advantage in strength, and the 7,000 Donghu soldiers gradually became weaker.

Elders, Jin Lun, Wei Fang and other personnel watched the battle situation in the distance outside the big tent, and when they saw that they were at a disadvantage, their hearts were cold.

Seeing that the tribe was about to fall into a disaster, the elder turned to look at Jin Lun and Wei Fang, the two favorite children, and said: "Not only our tribe, but the entire Donghu will not be spared, if you don't want to surrender to the Xiongnu, you should leave quickly, otherwise your lives will not be guaranteed." ”

Jin Lun said: "I want to fight with my father until the last moment!" ”

Wei Fang said: "Father, my daughter won't go!" ”

The elder didn't want them to die here, so he came up with a way to say, "You have to keep your useful body and avenge Donghu." ”

Jin Lun was emotional and said, "If Donghu is destroyed by Mao Dun, what will you take revenge?" Fight with the Huns! ”

The elders usually manage properly, and the generals of the tribe are all convinced, and they are very popular, and the generals on the scene have spoken, saying that they will fight to the death with the Huns.

The elder slapped his son's shoulder with his right palm and said heavily, "If everyone is dead, who will avenge Donghu?" Who will avenge your father and your family? ”

Wei Fang thought for a moment and said, "If you use the power of the Central Plains country, it may be possible. To the south is Juyong Pass, but you can go to Zhao State. ”

The elder felt very reasonable, and in his despair, he kindled a glimmer of hope and said, "That's right, you two hurried south, and took the people who had not yet rushed back from the south to Juyongguan and defected to Zhao State. ”

Wei Fang said: "My daughter can't go on the horse to fight, it's useless to go, my brother can go to Zhao Guo!" The daughter stays with her father and lives with the tribe! ”

The elder said sharply: "I order the two of you to go south together, if you disobey the order, it will be unfilial!" I'll cover you with the rest of you, get out of here! ”

At this time, a general next to him said: "The Huns have divided their troops and come over!" ”

The three of them looked to the north again, and saw that the cavalry was still engaged with the enemy, but there were other Huns soldiers who bypassed the combat zone and rushed towards this side from the left and right flanks.

The elder handed over his token to Jin Lun, and then shouted to him and Wei Fang, "Don't leave yet!" It's too late! ”

The two had to go on their horses full of grief and go south with dozens of people, and they all swore that they would take revenge in the future.
