The Xiongnu are an ancient nomadic people in northern China, and have always been known for their toughness and war.

According to the earliest records, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he ordered the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north.

"But the Xiongnu more than 700 miles, the Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses" to collect the Hetao and send troops to the county, which officially opened the prelude to the struggle between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains Dynasty.

In the years of war between the two ethnic groups, a Xiongnu hero was born in this chaotic and punishing ancient grassland......

Mao Dun was the son of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Touman at that time, but his father Tou Manshan Yu did not like him very much, so he sent him to the hostile country 'Yueshi in the Western Regions' as a hostage, and then sent troops to attack the 'Yueshi', wanting to use a trick to 'borrow a knife to kill' to get rid of Mao Dun, and then set up a successor.

The father is ruthless, and the son is not ambiguous; After getting the news, Mao Dun stole a good horse overnight, rode alone for 30 days, and fled back to the Xiongnu court from the far Western Regions.

Maudon knew that his father did not like him, and that there was no hope of inheriting the throne in the natural order.

So this 'lone wolf in the desert' simply followed the spirit of 'do it yourself, have enough food and clothing!' Decided to rely on 'iron and blood', launched a mutiny to ascend the throne.

The Xiongnu was a nomadic people, from the nobles to the slaves, all of whom liked to hunt, and the method he adopted was quite simple, direct and effective, which can be summed up as four hunting, and the steps are as follows:

He first made a kind of arrow called 'Mingdi', stipulating that when he went out hunting, he shot Mingdi, and his subordinates would kill anyone who did not shoot with Mingdi to the same target.

The first time he hunted, he shot his BMW with a Ming Di, and those who did not dare to shoot on the left and right were immediately killed.

The second time he hunted, he shot his wife with a Ming Di, and there were still those who didn't dare to shoot on the left and right, and they were immediately beheaded.

On the third hunt, he shot Mandanyu's BMW with a Ming Di, and no one on the left and right did not shoot.

On the fourth hunt, Mao Dun used a song to shoot the head man, and the left and right sides followed with arrows to shoot the head man.

Subsequently, Mao Dun killed his stepmother and half-brother, killed all the ministers who dissided, and established himself as the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

When the head wolf shows signs of old age and can no longer lead the wolves to hunt prey, there will immediately be a young and strong male wolf to stand up and challenge the position of the wolf king.

To put it bluntly, the Huns, like the wolves, need a strong leader to lead them to survive in the harsh environment of the vast grassland.

Speaking of which, this is also the sorrow of nomads, who choose to survive when there is a contradiction between survival and morality.

Of course, this is also the reason why the nomads are so strong and good at war, and in the selection at the cost of blood, they will definitely be able to choose the most powerful wolf king.

Under the leadership of the powerful wolf king Mao Dun, the Xiongnu conquered more than 20 countries including Loulan, Wusun, and Hujie to the west, and controlled most of the Western Regions.

To the north, it conquered the countries of Hunyao, Qu She, Ding Ling, Qi Kun, and Xinli, and to the south, annexed the territories of the south kings of Loufu and Baiyang Henan, and reoccupied the land south of the Hetao.

So far, the Xiongnu have a vast area from Yinshan in the south, Baikal Lake in the north, Liao River in the east, and green mountains in the west, and are known as the people who lead the bow as a family, and have more than 300,000 people who can fight on horseback, becoming the most powerful nation in the north.

At the same time, the Central Plains region has fallen into a melee for many years, Qin Shi Huang is roughly known as the first emperor of the ages, but unfortunately his son is not angry, the successor Qin II is mediocre and incompetent, resulting in the people are not living, and oppression will inevitably lead to resistance, and finally in a heavy rain, an unknown poor young man who is unwilling to die shouted: "Princes and generals, rather have a kind?" ”

In the following 2,000 years, this slogan lit a bright light for countless poor people who had no way out! --"Power can be seized, and the emperor can take turns!" ”

The land of the Central Plains fell into the melee of the heroes, countless heroes went to desperately chase the lost deer of the Qin Dynasty, and Liu Bang, the last hooligan pavilion chief of Surabaya, relied on his own wisdom, superior vision and unparalleled cheekiness to become the final victor and seize the fat deer in the Central Plains!

This is a kind of victory of the common people, and this kind of victory has only appeared twice in China's 2,000-year-long history: "One is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty!" The other one is called Zhu Yuanzhang! ”

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and after each of them eliminated the internal enemy, the two kings of their respective nations finally collided together.

In 201 BC (the sixth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty), Han Wangxin rebelled in the Datong region and colluded with the Xiongnu to invade; After defeating the overlord Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, who thought he was invincible in the world, immediately confidently led the army north to conquer.

As a result, at Baishan Mountain, he was surrounded by Mao Dunshan Yu with a large army of 400,000; After starving in the encirclement for 7 days, Liu Bang, who finally came to his senses, used his unique hooligan thinking, relying on the method of giving gifts to Mao Dun's wife, and escaped in disgrace while taking advantage of the heavy fog......

Under the inferior strength, the Western Han Dynasty was forced to adopt a policy of harmony, and gave the princess of the Han family to the Xiongnu Shan Yu as his wife.

According to the statistics of the drama, the Han Dynasty sent a total of fifteen princesses, and there were countless maids to marry; For decades, the tears of the daughters of the Han family moistened the weeds on the plateau......

By giving women and gifts, the Han Dynasty gained decades of respite and accumulated national strength; It was not until Liu Bang's great-grandson Liu Che of the Han Wu Emperor succeeded to the throne that the Han Dynasty, which had reached its peak of national strength, finally shouted: "Those who commit crimes against the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away!"

From this point of view, Liu Che is a good Han emperor!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reigned for 54 years, of which the war with the Xiongnu lasted for 44 years, relying on the super command ability of peerless generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, and exhausting the manpower and material resources of the whole country, and waving the army to the north 15 times before and after, and finally completely defeated the Xiongnu......

Under the continuous blow of the Han Dynasty, the decaying Xiongnu was divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the northern Xiongnu were forced to move westward and completely disappeared in the long river of history......

The Southern Xiongnu were vassals to the Han and were placed in the Hetao area; In the following year, the court was moved to Meiji County, that is, "Xiongnu South Court". In order to protect and monitor the Southern Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty set up the official position of 'Protecting the Xiongnu Zhonglang General', and ordered the general to lead elite troops to be stationed in the Hetao area, just like a tame dog chained.

In the eyes of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, the steppe wolf, had been completely tamed, and could be placed at his feet like a guard dog, guarding the house, and the Huns did show enough deference to keep wagging their tails and begging for mercy from their Han masters.

The most famous behavior is "In the first year of Emperor Jianzhao of the Han Yuan Dynasty, the Xiongnu Shan Yu 'Hu Han Evil' asked the Han Dynasty three times in a row, so Wang Zhaojun, who is known as the four beauties in China, went out of the fortress and married the Xiongnu Shan Yu, called 'Ning Hu Yan'!" ”

In this way, the long river of history has slowly flowed for another 60 years......

Even the most powerful dynasties had their declines, such as the great Roman Empire, which enclosed the Mediterranean Sea as an inland lake; Another example is the empire on which the sun never sets, which has dominated the earth for 300 years......

For hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty, which once dominated the world, has slowly declined, and the Huns have grown from a weak Chihuahua to a fierce Tibetan mastiff after decades of recuperation.

When the Han Dynasty was strong enough, the Huns at their feet showed great respect.

But once the master fell ill and fell, the Huns did not hesitate to break free of the chain and the first rushed up and took a bite, it turned out that the wolf that can wag its tail is still a wolf, and the wolf is always a cannibal!
