At this time, the leader of the Xiongnu tribe was Mao Dun Shan Yu, this guy was a ruthless character, he killed his father at the age of twenty-five and set himself up as king. Speaking of which, this is a human tragedy caused by family conflicts.

Mao Dun was made the crown prince by his father very early, and he was also honest, usually doing his best, and waiting to take over. Parents usually give preference to the youngest children. Tou Manshan Yu is no exception, he likes his younger son even more when he gets older. This youngest son was born to another concubine, who was not Maudun's biological mother. Tou Manshan wanted his youngest son to inherit the throne, and seeing that the crown prince Mao Dun was becoming more and more unpleasant, he sent Mao Dun to the Yue clan as a hostage.

As soon as Mao Dun arrived at Yue's, Toumanshan Yu led his troops to attack Yue's. This is clearly to borrow a knife to kill. The Yue's people were really fooled, and they wanted to kill the bench before they sat on the hot Maodun. Poor Maudun stole a horse overnight and fled back to the Huns. Escaping is not an easy task, you must first make sure that you can steal the horse, then find the right direction to run, and on the way, you have to shake off the pursuers before you can escape alive. It can be seen that Maudun belongs to a group of people with a high IQ.

That night, the wind on the grassland was cold, and Maudun's heart was even colder. He hardly wanted to think that it was his father who wanted to die on his own. Do you want to wash your neck and wait for your dad to cut it? After painful torment and struggle, a bold thought exploded in his body, "I want to control my own life, the lives of everyone!" ”

Facing his son who fled back, Tou Manshan was moved by a little compassion. He gave Maudun 10,000 cavalry to take to train in horsemanship. "Stay away from Lao Tzu, out of sight and out of mind!" Tou Manshan thought so.

Maudon took advantage of this opportunity to lead his troops, and he wanted to build an army that was absolutely obedient to him.

Maudon invented the chirping, an arrow that makes a sound when fired, and while training his soldiers, he ordered: "Whoever does not shoot with all my might with my arrows will be beheaded." ”

In the beginning, Maudun shot birds and beasts, and if someone did not shoot the target of the Ming Di, Maudun killed him. Soon after, Maudun shot his own horses with a loud shot, and if some of the soldiers on the left and right did not dare to shoot, Maudun immediately killed them. After some time, Maudun shot his wife again with a chirping hammer, and some soldiers were afraid to shoot after him, so Maudon killed them again. It's like developing the animal's conditioned abilities.

After a while, Maudun went out hunting, and shot the horse of the head Mandanyu with a chirping hammer, and the people on the left and right followed suit. After this temptation, Morton knew that his painstaking training had paid off.

One day, Maudun followed Tou Mandan Yu to hunt. Tou Manshan had no idea that death was coming. Suddenly, Mao Dun shot his father's head with a Ming Di, and the soldiers on the left and right followed and shot arrows at Tou Man Danyu, who died on the spot.

After killing his father, Mao Dun killed his stepmother, younger brother and the ministers who disobeyed him, and made Shan Yu himself. He successively conquered more than 20 small countries such as Donghu, Yueshi, Loulan, and Wusun, and expanded the territory of the Xiongnu to the south from Yinshan (the central mountain range of Inner Mongolia), north to Lake Baikal, east to the Liao River, west and the Green Mountains (Pamir Plateau), with more than 300,000 soldiers, and the Xiongnu became the most powerful nation in the north.
