The dome of the ancestors was built outside the city of Quli.

The tradition of the Huns is not to live in the city, but only in the vault.

It's not just a custom, it's a religion.

The primitive shamanism believed by the Xiongnu people paid attention to the day of worship and the twilight of the moon.

Its nobles and chiefs had to bow to the sun and moon every day and pray to the gods for protection.

When Li Ling arrived, the sage was leading his henchmen to perform a moon worship ceremony.

At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and the north wind howled through the valley, whimpering in the distance.

Li Ling stood beside him, waiting quietly.

After a quarter of an hour, Xian Xian finally ended the ceremony, stood up from the ground, and then turned his head and looked at Li Ling, a slight smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth: "Is there something wrong with King Jiankun?" ”

Li Ling smiled, stepped forward, and said, "Today, the envoy of King Ding Ling came to see the minister, and told the minister about the royal court, and the minister thought that the matter was very important, so he specially came to inform Tu Lu ......."

Xianxian Yan restrained his smile, nodded solemnly, and said, "King Jiankun also invites you to speak!" ”

So he took Li Ling and walked into the vault, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to retreat, leaving only the core few people.

"What happened to the royal court?" Xianxian took Li Ling and asked him to sit opposite him, and the two sat cross-legged and asked.

"Qi Yu Tu Luxury, the situation in the royal court is very complicated now......," Li Ling Zhengse replied: "King Ding Ling told his ministers: Shan Yu's body is getting worse and worse, and the Mu Yan clan is in cahoots with the sacrifices, and the situation is a little bad for the royal family to fight with the four major clans!" ”

So, he picked up a few things that Zhao An said and said about them, these things are basically the riotous operations between the four major clans and the twin clans, as well as the Mu Yan clan and the Tu Yu shaman.

The sage listened with a slight expression, and sighed: "I also know that the affairs of the royal court are quite complicated, but I don't want it to be so bad......"

He is in the royal court, so he naturally has eyeliner, and the high-ranking nobles of the four major clans and even the high-ranking nobles of the Twin Clans will also inform him of relevant information.

It's just that those people will naturally leave themselves clean and put the blame on the opponent.

The situation that Li Ling said was normal in the eyes of the sages.

Wang Ting...... None of the good things!

Therefore, he said angrily: "When I ascend the throne, I will purge the inside and outside, and reorganize the Huns!" ”

Today's royal court is really too chaotic!

It's so chaotic, even if it's thousands of miles away, the sages have the urge to go back and cut people.

"Tu Hao is wise!" Li Ling lowered his head and said.

After the mentality changed, Li Ling's thinking and ideas also changed completely.

If it was in the past, maybe he would have been excited by this statement of the sages, and even had some psychology of assisting the other party and reviving the Huns.

But now, he didn't have the slightest similar thought in his heart.

Some are just indifference and ...... It resembles a god-like perspective from above, overlooking the mortal world.

Because, Li Ling knows that he will win!

The loser will appear between Zhang Anshi and Xianxian.

Zhang Anshi lost, he became famous, and became a general admired and worshiped by the Huns both inside and outside, so that his operating space would become very large!

And the sages are afraid of losing, and it is even better.

This greatest threat will completely withdraw from the Xiongnu political arena.

At that time, the Xiongnu lost the Western Regions, and the country was in a panic, and at that time, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, so he and Wei Lu could control the Xiongnu in the name of the auxiliary minister, and slowly plotted against the Western Regions.

Li Ling is confident that he will rely on his own and Wei Lu's plan to make the Xiongnu strong again!

Of course, for Li Ling, in fact, the best thing that best fits his thoughts and ideas is Zhang Anshi's loss.

Although this will lead to an increase in the prestige of the sages, but the two tigers will fight, and even if the sages win, it will only be a miserable victory.

And he can take this opportunity to accumulate countless prestige and lay a solid foundation.

Perhaps, in the future, the sages can be arranged.

Thinking of this, Li Ling asked: "Tu Lu, when will the soldiers and horses of the Qiuzi, Weisu and Yanxu, and Shache countries arrive?" ”

"I have already given the order......," said the sage, "in a few days at the latest, the soldiers and horses of all nations will gather here......"

"It's just ......" Xianxian looked at Li Ling and asked with some relief, "Are you really sure?" ”

After the sage finished speaking, he looked at Li Ling directly.

Li Ling smiled and said, "Tu Hao, rest assured, as long as Zhang Anshi is fooled, our army's chance of victory is at least forty percent!" ”

"It's only forty percent?!" Some of the sages were not very satisfied.

"Forty percent is already very high!" Li Ling said: "Tu Yu should know that before the battle of Yu Wushui, the estimated victory rate was only fifty percent!" ”

The sage listened to this, and immediately lowered his head and became silent, and sighed for a long time before he sighed: "What King Jiankun said is extremely true, and forty percent is already extremely high!" ”

Since the decisive battle of Mobei, the war between the Han and the Hungarians has basically been reduced to one-sided - the Han army suppressed the Xiongnu to fight.

Moreover, it is almost the same as rubbing on the ground.

For a long time, the Xiongnu army did not dare to go south, so they could only rely on the turtle to retreat in Mobei, taking advantage of the natural danger to escape the blow of the Han army.

When Zhang Anshi attacked Dawan, the Xiongnu army even dared to instigate puppets like Luntai, Weili, and Fule to provoke the Han army.

It can be seen from this that the Xiongnu were weak in front of the Han army.

No way, really

It's that you can't beat it!

Even if the strength is several times that of the Han army, it may be bitten by the Han cavalry, and even be bitten all over the body!

Er Dan poured the country's troops to fight Guanglu Sai, but even lost his life under Guanglu Sai, which is the best proof!

Thinking like this, the sages solemnly bowed to Li Ling: "Then everything will be entrusted to the king!" ”

"The fortune of the Huns, the rise and fall, and the fate of the Huns, pay the king!"

Li Ling hurriedly bowed and said: "Tu is extravagant and loving, and the minister only crushes his bones to repay him!" ”

………………………………

Looking at Li Ling's figure, slowly disappearing into the dome, the look on the face of the sage began to become solemn.

"Is there a discrepancy between the situation and what King Jiankun said?" He asked his cronies on the side, Lan Yanxin of the Lan clan, his left boss.

The latter stepped forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Qi Yu Tu Luxury, there is not much difference, the situation reported by the royal court is almost the same as what King Jiankun said, but it is the first time that the slave knows about Shan Yu's health situation!" ”

"Oh......" Xianxian nodded and said, "It seems that this King of Jiankun is really a loyal minister?!" ”

Listening to his words, there was silence left and right.

Loyalists?!

Well, this concept was as foreign to the Huns as the Book of Heaven.

In the history of the Xiongnu, there were no loyal ministers.

The Xiongnu Empire, with tribes and clans as the backbone, was actually a tribal alliance.

The royal twin clans are the leaders of the alliance, and the four major clans and other tribes and tribes are members.

Within the tribal alliance, the drama of alliance-betrayal-alliance-knife is being staged all the time.

This is true even within tribes and clans.

If you don't believe it, just open the list of high-ranking nobles and officers recruited by the Han and Hungarian countries and take a look at it - since the two countries exchanged troops, the Han surrendered to the Huns, since the captain or above, there are only one hundred and ten people.

Among them, the vast majority of them surrendered after being defeated and captured.

And most of the subordinates and generals are from the righteous subordinates, vassals, and generals of the Han Dynasty.

For example, the late Zhao Xin (Huns), the current Wei Lu (Wuheng people).

A noble-born Han Dynasty general like Li Ling has been an isolated case for decades!

Others......

Even if you are captured, you will try to escape back!

Li Guang is like this, and so is Zhao Ponu.

Those who can't escape would rather die than die for the Huns!

And what about the Huns?

Hugh said that after Yuanguang, the strategic pattern of the Han and Huns was reversed, the Han was strong and the Xiongnu were weak, and the groups of leading the way * the party with their own dry food were thinking about the pro-Han faction that knelt and licked the Han people every day in the royal court and the high-ranking nobles who couldn't help but simply rebel.

It was before that that time, when the Xiongnu were strong and pressed the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu nobles who 'admired' China were also the emergence of stubble.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had eight tribes returning to the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty even appeared as a close minister of Shan Yu, who took more than 10,000 people to 'defect' to Wanghua.

Therefore, the sage listened to Lan Yanxin's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with a sneer: "Let's just think of him as a loyal minister......

He said leisurely: "But that's just the loyal servants of the Marquis and the Fox Deer Aunt! ”

In the eyes of the sages, Li Ling was a huge threat!

Especially after the Battle of Luntai, Xianxian found overnight that many people in his tribe began to worship and revere Li Ling, the king of Jiankun.

Even the kings and nobles of the Western Regions were obviously more in awe and close to Li Ling, an outsider.

That made the sages have a great fear and crisis.

It's just that he has a clear sense of priorities and knows that he must not have a disagreement with Li Ling at this time.

But......

If it is ascended to the throne alone......

That's different.

Li Ling, after all, is a Han Chinese, and he is the auxiliary general left by Hou Shan Yu to Hulugu.

And the sages heard that Hulugu had entrusted her son Xulu Quanqu to Li Ling to take care of on the way to retreat.

Just this matter, the sages couldn't tolerate Li Ling.

The Huns' single dispute has always been bloody and cruel.

The usurper, like the usurper on the distant African savannah, will do everything he can to bite and eat the children of the previous ruler.

Moreover, its means are far bloodier than beasts.

Even if it is a woman, the usurper will not let go!

Mao Dun Da Dan Yu killed the head Mandan Yu, and killed all the children of the head Mandan Yu, his brothers and sisters!

Yin Zhixian usurped the throne and did it even more fiercely - that time, Yin Zhixian did not let go even the wife of the military minister Shan Yu, and even the daughters and grandsons who married far away in the Western Regions.

The advantage of this is very obvious - as long as the descendants of the enemy are killed, there is no need to worry about possible revenge and comeback.

Otherwise, as long as there is a descendant left, the ghost knows what will happen?

At the beginning, the Yueshi people destroyed Wusun, and escaped by hunting arrogance.

Decades later, Hunting Jiaomi was a general under the account of the old Shangshan Yu of the Huns, personally led the army to destroy the Yue Clan, and cut the head of the King of the Yue Clan to offer the story of the old Shangshan Yu, but few people will forget!

Therefore, the story of Li Ling's promise to Hulugu spread to the sages

When it was in his ears, in the hearts of the sages, Li Ling had been buried permanently!

Thinking of this, Xianxian asked, "There's a reply from Wusun, right?" ”

Lan Yanxin bowed and said: "Tu is extravagant and wise, Weng Guimi has promised to let the Huns leave the country to help me!" ”

"Good!" When the sages heard this, they finally smiled: "When the Huns enter the territory of Weisu, notify me immediately, and I will personally go to greet them!" ”

The strength of Wusun's Xiongnu is actually not large, and it is only 4,000 to 5,000 horsemen to die.

But......

The appearance of the Wusun cavalry was a wonderful trump card for him and the entire Huns!

Imagine that on the Han-Hun battlefield, a Wusun cavalry appeared to help the Huns fight.

When this news was transmitted back to the Han Dynasty, what would the Han Dynasty monarchs think?

Will they know that Wusun is not equal to Wusun's affairs?

Do they understand the special relationship between Wusun and the Xiongnu?

Even if someone understands, I'm afraid it's hard to explain.

Moreover, according to the understanding of the sages, the temper of the Han people has always been short-tempered.

Therefore, the moment the Xiongnu entered the war was the day of the collapse of the Han-Wusun alliance.

At that time, the Han Dynasty would at least be alienated, even if it was not hostile to Wusun and sent troops to fight against the latter.

In this way, the Xiongnu can get rid of a problem in the heart.

As soon as he thought of this, the sages commanded: "Send someone to say hello to Mrs. Wusun Zuo!" ”

"Please Mrs. Zuo to inform Xiao Kunmo, I have a daughter, I wish my wife Kunmo!"

The current Mrs. Wusun Kunmo Zuo is the former Mrs. Zuo of Jun Sumi, and she is also the sister of Ershan Yu, and the mother of the current Wusun Xiao Kunmo.

For the sages, encircling, influencing and controlling that little Kunmo may be the focus of the next few years.

"Your will!" Lan Yanxin knelt down and kowtowed.

……………………………………

Li Ling walked in the Xiongnu camp at night.

Thoughts flowed in his mind, thoughts danced, and his eyes were fixed on the fire that was gradually burning in the barracks.

"There is still half a month......," Li Ling whispered, "Half a month must be decided!" ”

Otherwise, the Xiongnu's grain, grass and manpower will be exhausted.

You must know that this time, in order to be able to fight to the death with the Han army in this Weili, Xianxian Yu gambled almost everything.

Even an overdraft!

At present, the entire treasury of the Turtles, the Dangerous Beards, the Yanluxe, the Shache, and even the Exquisite and Elite Countries, and even the granaries of the nobles and the common people, have been forcibly transported.

And in order to transport these materials, large numbers of people were forcibly requisitioned.

The countries of the Western Regions are already full of complaints.

Obviously, such an approach will inevitably lead to a result - even if this battle is won, the Xiongnu will lose the hearts of the people in the Western Regions.

The nobles of the countries in the Western Regions, especially those who are pro-Xiongnu, as long as their brains are not stupid, will also wake up after seeing this situation and understand that the Xiongnu have never seen such a fact.

The seeds of resentment and resentment and hostility have been planted.

If nothing else, they will soon sprout and grow, and then quickly spread throughout the Western Regions.

The Huns, naturally, understood the harm of such a decision.

But, when the catastrophe comes, no one cares about this.

Because, all the high-level know that if this battle is lost, the Western Regions will lose!

Since this is the case, then the friendship and goodwill of the countries in the Western Regions have naturally become cheap goods that are not worth a penny.

Before today, Li Ling was still worried about this.

But at this moment, he wished that the Huns would get bigger and bigger.

Because only in this way can he be invincible!

"Next, I should go and say hello to the kings of the Western Regions......," Li Ling smiled.

He is familiar with history books, and he knows very well that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to befriend the countries of the Western Regions!

Sending charcoal in the snow is more popular and favorable than icing on the cake.

"Think about it carefully, the Western Regions are also the foundation of the king's tyrant, no less than the holy land of Guanzhong and Heluo!" Li Ling secretly thought in his heart: "There is the danger of the Tianshan Mountains here, the water is moistened, and there are countless snow-capped mountains covered with snow, as long as a Zhengguo Canal can be built, and then the matter of agricultural grass, the tools of the farmers can at least reclaim millions of acres of fields, and more than 10,000 acres of fields......

"And the western region is the key point of silk, east of Hexi, west of the green mountains, the benefits of industry and commerce are tens of thousands of gold!"

"There are mountains, water, land, resources......"

"As long as it is properly governed, lives with the people's livelihood, and encourages childbirth, within a hundred years, there will be the posture of Qin Chu!"

Thinking of this, Li Ling couldn't help but get excited.

Because he knew that after this battle, no matter whether he won or lost, he would have the opportunity to get involved in and control the Western Regions.

What this means, Li Ling knows very well!

The fire of ambition in his heart, burning brightly, made him inexplicably excited and excited.

If it weren't for the scruples of the Huns, he would have looked up to the sky and roared at this moment.

"Whether it's Zhang Anshi, or the sages, it's ......" he whispered proudly: "It's just weaving clothes for me!" ”

He already had a rudimentary plan in mind.

Of course, before executing this plan, Li Ling knew that he would have to devote all his energy to the upcoming fierce battle!
