Section 956 Embarking on a journey
Guyan Mountain, outside the Xiongnu Holy Mountain, Wolf Juxu Mountain, is the most important mountain mausoleum.
After the defeat in the decisive battle of Mobei, the Xiongnu's Shan Yuting migrated to the Yuwu River Basin.
But every year, the tellurium forest conference will be held here on time.
At that time, the leaders of the four major clans from the Xiongnu and other powerful factions will gather here.
Discuss and decide on the national policy and strategy of the Xiongnu.
However, today, it is only at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, which is thousands of miles away.
The power in the country naturally fell into the hands of the mother and the Qu clan.
As the wife of the Marquis of Shan Yu, the mother of the Huns, is in her fifties this year.
Among nomads, this is already an advanced age.
Therefore, her appearance is a little old, and her face is full of wrinkles, and she looks like a thin old woman.
"Ding Ling Wang ......" sat on the throne in his own dome, and the mother of the Yan clan looked at Wei Lu and his deployment kneeling in front of him in a gloomy tone: "Da Dan Yu entrusted the cavalry of Hujie, Huyan, and Lan to the king, and the king of Guyan also worked hard to support the king from Zhao Xincheng......"
"King, why did you get such a result?"
She trembled on crutches, got up and said, "King, how can you be worthy of Da Shan Yu?" How do you go and apologize? ”
"Death penalty!" Wei Lu stroked his chest, bowed and thanked: "The minister has nothing to say, he is willing to obey the mother's family!" ”
Mu Yan laughed, and his voice was colder than the ice and snow in winter.
"I'm just an old woman, how dare I send Ding Ling Wang......" She said softly: "It's just that I'm an old woman, but I don't understand it very well......"
"Since the beginning of Yin Zhi's oblique single Yu, since the second king has been saying that 'China's system, the law of defeating the Xiongnu dozens of times', and since the return of King Ding Ling, he has also been saying in China, 'Today's downward trend, if you learn from China, you will live, and if you don't learn, you will die'......"
"Over the years, it has been a change in the law, a change in the law, and a ...... in the implementation of writing education."
"But it's been more than 30 years...... What are the results? ”
"In my opinion, it's better to maintain the system and traditions of our ancestors!"
"The clothes and crowns of the Han Dynasty were not suitable for the Xiongnu, and their laws were too cumbersome for the people who were accustomed to being free and easy to draw bows, and their system was originally suitable for use in the room of the agricultural crown belt......"
"Their food, culture, and culture are also incompatible with the people who draw the bow......
"It is still the system and decree formulated by Mao Dun Da Dan Yu and Lao Shang Da Dan Yu, which is suitable for our Huns and the people who lead the bow!"
"If there is a war, there will be a war, and it will be scattered without a war, living in water and grass, lightly dressed, simple for the monarch and ministers, and united in one heart!"
"Mu Yan is right...... countless nobles in the tent have bowed and echoed: "My Great Hun has been like this since ancient times!" ”
"At the beginning, Mao Dun Da Dan Yu, Lao Shang Da Dan Yu, according to the customs of the Huns, the government of light and simple, the southern expedition to the Han Dynasty, the north to destroy the Eastern Hu, the west to the Yue, the world is invincible!"
Wei Lu listened, but he could only bow his head, not daring to refute.
The nobles behind him all showed indignation, dissatisfaction, and resentment.
This is the current state of the Xiongnu Empire today!
The entire ruling class of the Xiongnu has been increasingly divided between the two groups.
Reformers who supported reform and learned from the Han Dynasty, and conservatives who believed that everything did not need to change and followed the ancestral system.
The composition of the two is also very interesting.
The conservatives are basically hereditary nobles who do not lead troops in the Xiongnu country, but occupy power.
The reformers, on the other hand, are basically military aristocrats who hold military power and are on the front line of the struggle for hegemony with the Han.
In the past, the reformers have always had the upper hand on their support.
But now, conservatives have seized on the defeat and are attacking and denigrating the reformers.
"It's exactly what I thought......" Wei Lu sighed in his heart.
The conservatives of the Huns are still the same as in the past.
The ass is better than the brain!
Just like now, it is clear that the front line is defeated, the royal court is empty, and Guyan Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain are even more in danger.
But they still have time to talk about it, and they are even thinking about using this opportunity to attack and restrain the reformers.
"These guys are silverfish!" Wei Lu clenched his fists and thought to himself, "If I have the chance, I will clean it up once!" ”
On the surface, he said calmly: "Mu Yan, the minister thinks that the top priority now is to guard against the possible victory attack of the Han Dynasty at that time!" ”
"Now, Da Dan Yu leads the main force of the royal court, far away in the Tianshan Mountains, the royal court is empty, if the Han people come back to the river, they will be able to come to Guyan and Wolf Juxu Mountain in half a month!"
"Please also ask the Mu Yan clan to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Mu Yan turned around and said, "What King Ding Ling means, I understand!" ”
"Wife, I'm not old and foolish!"
"The old woman has already given an order, let the right Xianwang luxury, take his headquarters, and lead the three main forces of Che luxury, Tuntou, and Ba Er, and go to Nanhou Mountain to set up defense!"
"The great Xiongnu warriors will use their bravery and strength to prove to King Ding Ling and Shan Yu - the Xiongnu don't need any reforms, and they don't need to learn from the Han people, they can still win battles!"
"The great gods and the spirits of the sun and the moon who protect the Huns will bless us!"
When Wei Lu heard this, he bowed: "I hope so!" ”
He has no confidence in whether he can block the offensive of the Han army in Nanhou Mountain!
Not to mention, the right Xianwang and the three cavalry he led were all defeated generals of the Han army - twenty-seven years ago, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty stepped on the corpses of the three cavalry of Tuntou, Che Luxury, and Bao, and stepped on the elite cavalry of the Zuoxian King's headquarters, swaggering all the way to the foot of Guyan Mountain, and then the Youzai Chan Guyan and the wolf Juxu Mountain.
Now, twenty-seven years later, the Han army is stronger than it was then.
And these people are still the same as they were back then.
This army could not be an opponent of the Han at all!
What's more, in the army of the Han Dynasty, there is still that ironclad man!
Just thinking about it, the battle of Wolf Yuan that day, Wei Lu couldn't help but tremble.
That's not something that people can fight against at all!
Therefore, if you leave here, you will definitely lose!
And once the army is defeated and difficult to Hou Mountain, the Han army can quickly cross the Gonglu River and go straight to Guyan Mountain.
When the time comes......
The corners of Wei Lu's mouth curled slightly......
"The nobles and royal families in the Dragon City of Guyan Mountain, I don't know how many people can live?"
But......
"This is also a good thing...... Wei Lu thought to himself, "It can be regarded as the best result in the current situation!" ”
Let the people of the Han Dynasty kill all these conservatives who are blocking reform, and it is better to kill them all!
From then on, in the Xiongnu state, the reformists will occupy an absolute advantage.
…………………………
On the ninth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the second summer of Yanhe.
After resting for two days in Wolf Plain, the main force of the Han army embarked on the journey again.
Thousands of Wugang vehicles, loaded with all kinds of military supplies, took the lead in pulling out.
The infantry and crossbowmen of the Flying Fox Army rode in chariots.
The cavalry led the horses and followed closely behind.
At the back of the army were thousands of Wu Hengyi and the hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep they drove (these were all the livestock of the labor army sent by Huxu, Nanchi, Zhushui and other departments).
These cattle, sheep and livestock will become the main source of food for the army along the way.
This is very Huns!
Riding on a horse, Zhang Yue looked at this vast army and was full of emotion.
This expedition may be the least expensive expedition in the history of the Han army and even China!
The army carried only standard dry rations, vinegar cloths, and sauces.
The vast majority of the grain and grass were obtained locally in the Makunan.
If he returns victoriously, he can use this battle to prove to the world the importance of managing and stabilizing Monan.
Perhaps, it will stimulate the court, and the establishment of a county in the south of the Makunan will be put on the agenda.
Just as he was preparing to keep up with the army, in the distance, dozens of ox carts and carriages arrived unexpectedly.
Yang Sun took people and walked out of the carriage, came to Zhang Yue, bowed, and said: "The concubine heard that the general wanted to go on an expedition, so she specially sent some cloth and silk ......for the labor army."
So saying, he let the ox carts and carriages unload all the things that were on them.
All of them are woolen fabrics that Yang Sun has purchased and spun under the Hulu and Yanmen stoppers these days.
The snow-white fabric, piled together, is full of texture.
Moreover, they are further processed and made into blankets or bedding.
A rough estimate shows that there are thousands of bedding or blankets.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue hurriedly dismounted and thanked: "Madame, this envoy respectfully thanks the soldiers of the whole army!" ”
With this batch of blankets and bedding.
The non-combat attrition of this expedition can be greatly reduced.
The severe cold of the night in Mobei is no longer so terrible.
But......
Yang Sun's ability to be willing and take the initiative to send these bedding and blankets instead of selling them for profit, made Zhang Yue's impression and perception of him also greatly changed.
"Madame's righteous act, this envoy must report to the Son of Heaven, and there will be a reward!" Zhang Yue thanked him again.
Yang Sun listened to Ailang's words, but she only felt that she was very happy in her heart, that is, there were many people, otherwise she would have already thrown herself into the other party's arms and hammered him in the chest with a small fist.
Even so, he still glanced at Zhang Yue sadly, and said: "Ming Gong is serious, how dare the little woman ask for any court reward, I just hope that Ming Gong will return victoriously as soon as possible......"
As he spoke, he quietly stuffed a sachet into Zhang Yue's hand, lowered his head, and whispered: "You go, don't forget the concubine ......"
Zhang Yue grabbed the sachet and rubbed the lines on it, and suddenly felt the grace of the beauty, and couldn't help blurting out: "When I return, if my wife is willing, I am willing to hire her with courtesy......"
When Yang Sun heard this, he immediately felt like a little girl, his face was flushed, and his heart was like a deer, very sweet, and he only felt that he had finally had expectations for all the hard work and dedication.
Perhaps, she and Zhang Yue initially just relied on each other and needed each other.
However, the so-called love over time.
After all, I was still involved in this whirlpool.
Perhaps, this is also the difference between men and women!
