Section 624 The Decision of the Xiongnu (1)
In the late autumn of Saibei, wrapped in silver, the mountain dances the silver snake, and the original Chi wax elephant.
In many places, the snow has reached several feet deep, and the temperature has dropped below -10 degrees.
The poor herdsmen and herdsmen could only shiver and huddle in the dome, their families snuggling up to each other and leaning on each other's body temperatures to keep warm.
"Last night, more than 300 people froze to death...... "Wearing a thick fur fur, the fox deer girl walked on the snow-covered mountains and sighed slightly: "This hellish day, when will it be a head!" ”
Since the decisive battle of Mobei, the herdsmen and herdsmen of the Xiongnu Empire can only live to be twenty years old on average.
Even among the aristocracy, there are very few people who live to be forty years old.
In the past, when the Xiongnu owned Munan, especially Yinshan in Henan, even herdsmen and herdsmen had existences that could survive past sixty.
So much so that in the past, the Huns had a tradition - not to support the elderly.
Even the leader of the tribe, as long as he loses the ability to work, he can only fend for himself.
Now, the Huns no longer have to be reprimanded by the envoys of the Han Dynasty for not supporting the elderly and being barbaric.
Because, there are basically no people over the age of 50 in the Xiongnu.
The cruel and harsh winter of Mobei is the most powerful weapon.
It ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Huns.
In some years, because it was too cold, the population of the Xiongnu would even be subtracted by one-fifth in one winter!
The source of all this disaster was that the Xiongnu lost Munan.
Warm Makunan.
It's not just that Makunan is warmer and the winter is easier.
It's also because of the fact that there are countless forests in the south of the Maku.
There are groups of birds and beasts on Yin Mountain, the trees of Ziling are innumerable, the lake water of Nanchi is crystal clear, and on both sides of the North River, there are groups of shrubs.
These forests and lakes were essential for the Huns to spend the winter in the past.
They provide readily available fuel for heating and have lakes that do not freeze even in winter.
In particular, the bird and beast resources of Yinshan are necessary for the survival of the Xiongnu.
In the past, the Xiongnu would place all the pregnant mothers in the country at the foot of Yin Mountain.
Forests provide the best protection and nutrition for these mothers and their children.
Especially in winter, the existence of Yin Mountain can make many children live to see the spring of the next year.
Instead of now, children born in winter will basically die.
Thinking of these things, Fox Lugu's face turned blue.
Because now, the Hun Empire has lost everything it once had!
Whether it is the mother Shanyin Mountain, or the resting place of the ancestors, Longcheng, or the fertile and vast Nanchi and Hexi.
They are already the residences of the Han Dynasty.
The Black Dragon Flag was inserted from Qilian Mountain to Xianbei Mountain.
The horseshoe of the Han people has now even stepped on the last core of the Xiongnu - Mubei.
Mrs. Fan's City is like a nail, nailed to the soft underbelly of the Huns, embedded in the bone marrow, making him sleepless day and night!
"Da Dan Yu ......" A nobleman walked up to Hulugu and prostrated and said, "King Ding Ling is here......"
"Please!" When Fox Deer Gu heard this, she hurriedly restrained her mind and ordered with a smile.
Ding Ling Wang Weilu.
Shan Yuting's No. 3 person, his status is only above him and his mother's family!
He was the brain and center of the Huns.
Over the past ten years, with his assistance, the Xiongnu have gradually recovered their vitality and regained their strategic offensive capability.
Five years ago, in the Battle of Yuwushui, the Xiongnu retreated in front of the heavy army of the Han Dynasty for the first time!
This shows that the Hun cavalry can already confront the elite main force of the Han Dynasty, in a dignified battle.
There is no longer any need to see the main force of the Han Dynasty like the Battle of Tianshan, and the hundreds of thousands of troops can only retreat, relying on lengthening the supply line of the Han army to get the opportunity to sneak attack, so as to achieve the purpose of forcing the Han Dynasty army to retreat.
Since the decisive battle of Mobei, the haze of the Xiongnu being suppressed and oppressed seems to be dissipating.
And all this is thanks to Ding Ling Wang Weilu.
It was he who brought the advanced management, technology and tactics of the Han Dynasty.
It was also him, who was good at dancing with long sleeves and used various strategies to divide the trust between the Han Dynasty, Wuheng and Wusun, so that Wuheng and Wusun did not participate in the recent Han-Hungarian wars.
It was even more of him who offered advice to Shan Yu first, and at all costs, surrounded and annihilated the Li Ling Corps of the Han Dynasty, and successfully lured down the Han Dynasty general.
As a result, the Xiongnu obtained the guidance of the Han Dynasty's generals, the top military aristocracy, for the first time.
This is not like Zhao Xin in the past, just a descendant of the Han Dynasty, except for knowing some skins, he knows almost nothing about the formation, training, and tactics of the Han Dynasty army!
That's the grandson of Flying General Li Guang!
It is the pride of the most prosperous Longyou General of the Han Dynasty!
And he was also the best young general of the Han Dynasty!
Since the acquisition of Li Ling, the combat power of the Xiongnu has increased by leaps and bounds.
From the battle of Tianshan, it can only be delayed by avoiding the war, and to deal with a Li Ling corps, it is necessary to raise the strength of the whole country, and the tragic situation of almost breaking teeth quickly evolved into the battle of Yuwushui, which can be attacked with the main force of the Han Dynasty in formation, and fight a draw.
Because of this, Wei Lu has a pivotal position in the entire Shan Yuting.
Whether it is Hulugu or the deceased Marquis Shan Yu, they all show the greatest respect and respect to envelop them.
"King Ding Ling, meet the great plough Gutu!" After a while, a nobleman dressed in a wolf fur walked up to the fox deer aunt and bowed slightly: "May your chirping sound resound throughout the world!" ”
"King Ding Ling doesn't have to be polite!" Hulugu stepped forward with a smile, helped Wei Lu up, and said: "The state affairs are difficult, thanks to Ding Lingwang's running up and down, this single Yu is really ashamed!" ”
"The big order is in love, and Wei Lu Minggan is five!"
"Wei Lu is here to tell Da Shan Yu good news, the three adults of Wuheng have all accepted Da Shan Yu's gifts......
When the fox deer girl heard this, her eyes immediately showed ecstasy.
Wuheng people!
The fiercest wild dog kept by the Han Dynasty!
At the same time, it is also the biggest enemy of the Huns!
The Xiongnu's hatred of Wuheng was even higher than that of the Han Dynasty.
This is not only because the Wuheng people once dug up the tombs of the Xiongnu ancestors of the past generations under the drive of the devil Huo Quai, these damned slaves, the bones of the ancestors of the Huns such as Mao Dun Da Shan Yu, Lao Shang Da Shan Yu and the military ministers Shan Yu, and even Tou Man Shan Yu and other Xiongnu ancestors were broken and scattered.
These damned slaves even dragged the coffin of the great Maudun Da Shan Yu out of the ground and devoured it with wild dogs!
For every descendant of the Twins clan, this is a great shame!
Revenge is required!
In addition, Wuheng is also the strongest contender for the hegemony of the Xiongnu steppe.
They are even more terrible than the Han Dynasty!
After all, the Han Dynasty was a well-dressed farming people, and they didn't stay long on the grassland at all.
But Wuheng can!
So in the eyes of the Huns, the Han Dynasty people could still negotiate and try to make contact.
And Wuheng?
Nirvana!
Even Wei Lu, because of his identity as a Wuheng person, was hostile to many Xiongnu nobles.
But it is precisely because of this that Wei Lu has the ability and channels to contact the Wuheng people, so as to persuade the Wuheng people not to send a main force to unite with the Han Dynasty.
