Chapter 168: Escape
In the early morning of the next day, Xianxian Zen was still asleep, when suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
Immediately a carp jumped up, and at the same time touched the short knife he had placed next to his pillow.
As a top nobleman of the Huns, the first reaction of the sages Zen was: Who can't think of rebelling!
The internal coup d'état is the eternal story of the Xiongnu.
Almost every generation of Shan Yu has to meet at least seven or eight times.
Some of these coups were carried out by the nobles within the royal court, and they had been planned for a long time, but most of them were desperate attacks by tribes who could not bear the oppression and exploitation of the Xiongnu.
This is an inevitable occurrence caused by the traditions of the Huns.
As we all know, the royal court of the Xiongnu, with the change of seasons, migrated from water to grass.
The entire royal court had tens of thousands of cavalry, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of herds.
This terrible migratory herd, chasing grass across the grasslands.
Wherever they passed, they ate all the plants in their path, drank the fresh water of the lakes, and left a mess for the local tribes.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
In the past few decades, many tribes who were oppressed and exploited by the Xiongnu and cornered launched various attacks in desperation.
And for all this, the Huns, optimistic.
The Xiongnu Empire used this method to eliminate and cut off those tribes who were threatening and disobedient to them.
Therefore, the royal court of the Xiongnu has long been accustomed to similar turmoil and coups.
As soon as Xianxian Chan got up, dozens of his confidants and guards opened the tent door one after another and entered the tent to protect Xianxian Chan.
"What's going on?" Xian Xianzen asked the captain of his own guard.
"Back to the king, it seems that something is wrong with the Wusun people...... "A samurai who was in charge of patrolling outside the tent replied on his knees.
"Your Majesty, the Wusun people have run away!"
Before the sages could speak, a nobleman hurriedly entered the account and reported it.
"The Wusun people ran away?" The sages held it
The handle of the sword, angry: "Call King Kunjian to come to me!" "In just an instant, the sages made a decision.
The Wusun people actually ran away!
This means that Usun Kun Mo Weng Gui Mi rejected his offer. unwilling to contribute to the strength of the Xiongnu Empire.
The disobedience of the Wusun people has been revealed.
In this regard, the Huns had only one choice: war!
The overlord of the steppe will definitely not tolerate something like this happening!
Otherwise. Hegemony will collapse like dominoes.
The sages already knew that at this moment, he was facing the greatest challenge.
If it is not handled well, not only the hegemony of the Xiongnu Empire in the Western Regions will be challenged. Even his own head can't be saved!
Those ambitious aristocrats and big single forces in the country will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity!
"The Sword Comes"
Tell King Kunjian to find a way to stabilize the front and give priority to the Wusun army on the front line.
Usun is already a quasi-enemy.
Then, the Han Dynasty in the south must be pacified.
How did the invincible Donghu Empire come to an end?
The sages will not forget!
It was the attack between the Xiongnu and the Yueshi that caused it to fall into a two-sided battle, and the head and tail could not be taken into account, and the forces were scattered.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Huns at that time, even if Mao Dunshan descended from heaven and could move mountains and seas, he would not be able to reverse the situation!
The defeat of the Yueclan. The same is true.
Wusun and the Xiongnu flanked the enemy, making it vulnerable to the enemy.
There are these two examples, no matter how stupid the sages are, they also know how to appease the Han Dynasty first.
To know. Now, the enemy of the Huns is not that Dawan or some Ding Ling or Fuyu!
That's Wusun!
Wusun Kun Mo Weng Gui Mi, is the adopted son of Mao Dun Da Dan Yu, the descendant of the elder brother raised by his own hands, this person's organizational structure of the Xiongnu. Military deployments and combat methods are well understood.
What's even more terrifying is that the Weng Guimi family is still caged
Covered with a layer of mysterious aura - at the beginning, the Yue clan broke through Wusun's hometown in Kunxie and killed almost all Wusun nobles, the previous generation of Wusun Kun Mo was killed, and only one courtier escaped from the siege with Weng Guimi, who was still in infancy.
On the way to escape, the courtier, alone, difficult to support independently, had no choice but to hide Weng Guimi in the grass and go out to find food by himself.
When he returned, the courtier was astonished to find that his young master, lying in the grass, had a she-wolf to nurse her, and a crow to bring fresh meat to feed her.
So he thought that he was blessed by the gods, and took him thousands of miles to defect to the Huns.
Mao Dun Da Shan Yu heard this story, and also thought that Weng Guimi was blessed by the gods, so he accepted him as a righteous son, took him to raise him, and entrusted Weng Guimi to the then Zuoxian King, and the old Shangji porridge was only educated.
Therefore, after Wusun became independent, the trend of worshipping and believing in the wolf god in its country arose.
The wolf and the crow have become the totems and sacred relics of Wusun's faith, and they are highly respected and are not allowed to be harmed.
The royal family of Wusun had the habit of carving a wolf's head on his chest to see himself as a symbol of the heir of the wolf god.
Even, many Huns also accepted and recognized such a setting - thinking that Weng Guimi was a descendant of the son of God and had the blessing of the gods.
Under such circumstances, the Han Dynasty had to be pacified.
No matter how arrogant the sages were, they didn't think they could face challenges in both directions at the same time.
At this moment, the whole mind of the sages is on how to defeat Wusun - yes, defeat, not perish.
What the sages needed was an obedient, obedient Wusun who worked for him.
And not a perished Usun.
This is not a question of whether the sages had a special complex for Wusun.
Rather, the price of destroying Wusun is too high.
To defeat him and bring him to his knees, all the Huns needed was a massive armed march and a show of muscle.
But to destroy Wusun, at least 10,000 Hun cavalry must die.
And how much is the population of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions?
