Section 380 The choice of the fox deer girl
At the end of summer, the north wind has begun to blow, mixed with the sand of the cold wind, and the faces of the people who hit them are a little painful.
Mobei is cold and bitter, and the ecology is already fragile.
Today, hedgehogs are home to dozens of herders and millions of livestock.
The environment immediately continued to deteriorate.
Even if the Huns don't understand, they can feel that in the past ten years, the grassland in Mobei has become less and less new grass every year, while the area of the desert is getting bigger and bigger.
Standing beside Gong Lushui, Hu Lugu tightened the sheepskin coat on her body, looked at the gradually lonely world, and sighed slightly in her heart.
He turned away and looked far to the south.
The place where the wild goose came from the north.
I don't know if the Rouge Mountain there is now full of flowers and wild fruits?
I don't know if the Qilian Mountain there is still covered with snow?
I don't know if the beasts on the Yin Mountain have flourished again?
When Hulugu was born, the Huns had already lost those places.
These Huns once had roots and ancestral courts.
Like a rabbit, he was driven from the warm and fertile vast grasslands in the south to the cold and lonely desert north.
Companion with wind and sand, and ice and snow as companions.
"I don't know, I can see the ridge of Yin Mountain alive......" he lamented in his heart.
For every Xiongnu and every descendant of the Twin Clan, Yinshan is the mother mountain that binds them for life.
When Yin Zhi died, his head was facing south, his eyes were staring in the direction of Yin Mountain, and he shouted loudly: "Yin Mountain! Yin Mountain! Yin Mountain! β
When Uweishan died, he clutched a handful of soil in his handβthe soil that had been brought from Yin Mountain to Mobei.
When Erdan died, he was leading his troops outside Luntai City in the Western Regions to confront the Han army.
He suddenly fell ill, and encountered Shan Yuting's turmoil, and he didn't even have time to leave his last words.
However, Hulugu clearly remembers what his father looked like when he died.
At that time, Shan Yu, who had vowed to revitalize the Huns, lay on the sheepskin blanket, panting hard, whimpering and grabbing his hand, so hard that his face turned blue.
"We must recapture Yinshan! Reclaim Dragon City! β
Then he died, infected by an arrow wound during the Battle of Yugosu.
Thinking back to her father's last words and lessons before his death, Hu Lugu's eyes became firm: "I must take back Yin Mountain!" Reclaim the Loop! β
The Han people talk about great revenge, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for 100,000 years.
Today, this trend of thought has also influenced the Xiongnu.
Among the high-level nobles of the Xiongnu, there were also a large number of members who read poetry and books and were familiar with Han culture.
Hulugu is no exception.
The decisive battle of Mobei smashed the backbone of the Huns, making them have to admit that the Han Dynasty was much, much more advanced than themselves.
This opened the history of the Xiongnu people learning from the Han Dynasty.
Up to now, the organization, discipline, tactics, and weapons of the Huns have been constantly transformed into the Han Dynasty.
And those generals of the Han Dynasty are in high positions one by one.
There were people who were only middle-level officers such as team leaders, simas, and lieutenants in the Han Dynasty, and once they surrendered, they were immediately crowned the lord of the first department and became high-ranking nobles.
As for those generals of the Han Dynasty......
As long as you are willing to surrender, you will be king immediately!
Today, the former Han generals Wei Lu and Li Ling are even the power of the Xiongnu.
He has a heavy army, and even has his own army, tribes, and land.
In particular, Li Ling, who was named the king of Jiankun by the Marquis of Xianshan Yu and Yu, has a fertile land of more than 2,000 li.
It was also with the help of these Han generals that the Huns finally regained their vitality bit by bit.
By now, the Xiongnu have recovered to the population base before the decisive battle of Mobei.
400,000 people, majestic in the north of the desert, and there are the Western Regions, looking at the Junji Mountain, intending to break through the defense line of the Han and Hungarian cavalry with flesh and blood in the future, break into Hexi and even Hetao, and return to the warm, fertile and charming southern steppe.
"Big order! Big order! Just thinking about this, Hulugu suddenly heard the voice of his beloved general, who was also his nephew, Lan Jiqu, the son of the Xiongnu Zuo Daduwei Diffraction Huti.
"Big order Yu, the driver is urgent!" Lan Jiqu was a sturdy Hun man in his twenties, he wore the traditional Hun braids, and his nose was inlaid with two extra-large copper rings, although it looked a little weird, but in the Huns, this was a symbol of warriors.
"Say!" When the fox deer girl heard this, she immediately turned up.
The current Xiongnu Empire is not in its heyday, and relying only on the livestock of the steppe is enough to beat the powerful empire of the Quartet.
For the Huns, huddled in the lonely and cold land of Mobei can certainly avoid the pursuit and attack of the cavalry from the Han Dynasty.
But the lifeline of the Huns depends entirely on the Western Regions.
The wealth, grain, salt and other materials of the 36 countries of the Western Regions were the blood that supported the operation of the Xiongnu Empire.
If the Western Regions are lost, the Xiongnu will be starved to death and die of thirst in this desert north!
The Cheshi and Qiuzi were the first line of the Xiongnu's direct offensive in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty.
Any abnormal movement of the driver and turtle will make Shan Yuting sneeze.
"It is reported that Loulan Wang An Mi is seriously ill, I'm afraid he won't last long......" Lan Jiqu excitedly lay at the feet of Hulugu, kowtowed: "This is a good opportunity for the God-sent Huns to recapture Loulan!" β
"Loulan King Anmi?" When Fox Lugu heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Is this old dog finally going to die?" β
For the Huns, Loulan is the pain in their hearts!
Since Lao Shangshan Yu broke the Yue clan, the countries of the Western Regions have always been the slaves of the Huns, giving and demanding.
But......
The Dawan War of that year caused a rift in the rule of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions.
The Han Dynasty put their claws into the Western Regions.
The Loulan Kingdom then rebelled, paying tribute to the Han Dynasty and losing sincerity.
Although, considering the prestige of the Xiongnu, the Loulan people also paid tribute to the Xiongnu at the same time.
But......
However, the Loulan people actively participated in the actions of the Han army, assisting the Han army in attacking and attacking the Xiongnu vassal states such as Cheshi and Qiuzi.
What's even more terrifying is that the Loulan people also used their influence and news channels in the Western Regions to actively contact those who were dissatisfied with the Xiongnu in the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty.
It also matched the Han Dynasty and the Wusun people.
Naturally, the old king of Loulan, An Mi, who was once supported by the Huns, became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Huns.
Now, is this old guy finally going to die?
Of course, Hulugu was very happy.
However......
The smile on his face only lasted for a second before it stiffened.
Because, he remembered someone.
His dear cousin, the son of King Zuoxian, is now the son of King Zuoxian, and now the Xiongnu is chasing the king's ancestors.
Known as the son of the Xiongnu Taibo, the king of virtuous people.
Theoretically speaking, in fact, the position of Fox Lugu is snatched from the other party.
Although the Huns have always believed in the truth that the heavens and the earth are big and the fist is the greatest.
This position alone has always been occupied by those who have power.
But......
In the past few years in the Western Regions, the sages have operated very well, and their subordinates have grown to 100,000, 30,000 cavalry, and tens of thousands of slave soldiers.
If it were just in case, the sages would take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious deeds......
Who knows what other people think in their hearts?
So, it only took three seconds for Fox Lugu to make a decision: "I know about this matter, don't worry about it!" Unless Loulan people request this order to intervene ......"
As for going to fight for Loulan with the Han Dynasty?
Since the decisive battle of Mobei, every time the Huns took the initiative to attack the Han Dynasty, they lost their troops.
Erdanyu mobilized the strength of the whole country to attack Luntai City of the Han Dynasty, but as a result, he died outside Luntai City.
Hulugu felt that it was better for her to calm down.
Besides, even if he wins, it will not be of any benefit to him, and it is only the sages who will benefit.
On the contrary, if he pretends not to know about this, then the pressure will all go to the sages.
Did the sages go to compete with the Han Dynasty for Loulan? Or do you choose to be a bystander?
No matter what he chooses, it's all wrong!
If you want to fight, it is not enough to rely on the power of the king of the day.
It's also for nothing to go.
When the time comes, he will just clean up this cousin who has a big tail.
It's even better if you just sit on the sidelines and don't pay attention.
At next year's tellurium forest conference, see how the sages explained to the leaders and nobles of the Xiongnu - they actually sat back and watched the Han Dynasty stabilize Loulan and threaten Puchanghai?
Prophet, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?
And other people in the Xiongnu can also see the true face of this so-called virtuous king and the son of Taibo.
Then he will no longer be able to challenge his position.
Thinking like this, the smile on Fox Lugu's face became even bigger.
