There was no accident, from the battlefield rebellion of the three of Suli, it should have been from the restart of the Xiongnu's Eastern Crusade, and the result was doomed. At the end of the war, the Xianbei army was wiped out, and even the Xianbei camp on the side of the two rivers was also captured.

"Meet Lord Helan, my lords!" The big tent celebrated, and the three of Suli, Micah, and Jiji visited together. Of the Xianbei leaders who surrendered, the three of them were the most prominent.

Helan Dangfu looked at the three people who were kneeling on one knee, and was very curious in his heart, compared to those "mediocre" Xianbei leaders, these three people had fast brains, and they were also talents.

"Three of you, please get up, I promise never to break my promise. This time, I will also truthfully report the big order for the merits made by the three of them! Helan Dangfu showed a smile and said loudly.

"Thank you, sir!"

When many of the Xianbei leaders who surrendered heard this, they looked at the three of Su Li with envious eyes, these three people were stable, and they were not decided. Now that the war is almost over, they have little room for bargaining.

As if discovering the performance of the anxious Eastern Xianbei leaders in the tent, Helan Dangfu glanced at them and said in a loud voice: "You are the same!" ”

With the assistance of Suli and other leading parties, the conquest and annexation of the Xianbei tribes in the east by the Xiongnu army was much easier, except for small-scale battles, there was no fierce resistance.

The Xianbei tribesmen, who had had enough of the bitter internal friction of the war year after year, did not care about submitting to the Huns. It was more like a march, and wherever the Xiongnu army went, the people of the Xianbei tribe in the east surrendered.

The good news was quickly passed to Danhan Mountain, and Liu Yuan, who had been here for more than half a year, had a rare laugh, and had no scruples.

After more than ten years of painstaking work, the clock of time has finally realized the first step of his ambition. After Xianbei, the Xiongnu, under his leadership, finally became the master of the grassland again.

Not to mention the place that is too far away, at this time, the east to the Liao River, the west to the Jiluo Mountain, the south to the Xihe River in Bingzhou, the entire Monan, Hetao, and the most elite areas of the northern grassland have finally become under the control of the Xiongnu again. As for the places further east, north, and west, it was only for Liu Yuan to receive them unprecedentedly.

With the submission of the Xianbei in the east, the situation in the northern grasslands began to calm down, and Liu Yuan patiently settled hundreds of thousands of Xianbei tribes and subordinates to build the Xiongnu ruling system.

The news of Liu Yuandingding's grassland slowly spread to the south and to Luoyang. Even if the princes of the court were numb, they began to feel pressure at this time, and their vigilance was unprecedentedly strong.

Tanshi Huai unified Xianbei and repeatedly invaded the Han Dynasty, but did not pose much threat to the Han Dynasty. But the Huns are different, thinking about how strong Xianbei was before, it was annexed in these few years, and many people have in their minds the great pressure and harm caused by the Xiongnu to the Han before Emperor Wu.

Even after the Xianbei Rebellion, this is the weakening period of the strength of the grassland people, and the Xiongnu annexed Xianbei, and the strength is still "not enough", which does not prevent the princes of Luoyang from having strong vigilance.

Some radicals directly proposed to send troops to the grassland, attack the Xiongnu, destroy them, and plunge the grassland into chaos again. It was simply vetoed, there is the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion in the west, the Erzhang and Wuhuan Rebellion in the north, and there are still yellow turban remnants of the poison in all parts of the world, where does the Han still have the strength to go north.

Very helpless, very aggrieved, even if the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, the Han border counties have received the edict from Luoyang, beware of the Huns!

Since the fall of Xianbei and the rise of the Xiongnu, the grassland that had been chaotic for several years finally returned to calm, and the whole north was rarely in peace. The Xiongnu were busy digesting the fruits of the victory of annexing Xianbei, and they would not disturb them for no reason.

Youzhou, which was originally full of war, has also settled down. Xianbei fell, the Xiongnu rose, and the Wuhuan people in the land of Youyan felt it especially obviously, and Qiu Liju felt great pressure.

Facing the threat of the Huns, he was particularly wary of the Huns, and even slowed down the pace of invading Youzhou. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju repeatedly requested a joint army, but Qiu Liju decisively refused. The Xiongnu had already defeated Xianbei, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not invade him in the south, and Qiu Liju's attention was completely focused on the Xiongnu in the north.

Until the end of the summer of the fifth year of Zhongping, the Huns, who had been stable for a long time, finally made a move, and it should be said that Liu Yuan had a move. At this time, the Xianbei tribe was basically digested by Liu Yuan, controlled by hand, assimilated, sinicized, and carried out simultaneously.

In order to show Liu Yuan's merits, praise Liu Yuan's great cause, and set an example for the world, someone proposed to return to Longcheng to worship the sky. Liu Yuan naturally accepted the advice, summoned the people, went to the north of the desert, and worshiped the heavens and ancestors.

There were hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu subordinates, Xiongnu, Han, Xianbei, Qiang, Qian, and even large and small tribes on the grassland, who were summoned to Longcheng, thousands of miles away.

Yanran Mountains, Anhou River, a brand new felt tent, dome built up, abandoned for more than a hundred years of the Dragon City again lively, after many years, Liu Yuan led the "Huns" to return to the ancestral land.

A high altar was erected under the command of Yan Luo, and thousands of slaves and folk husbands worked day and night to catch up with the project and fight for progress, compared with the ceremony of Liu Yuanchu's succession, the specifications of this ceremony were not only higher.

Standing on top of a mountain peak, hundreds of guards closely monitored the surroundings, protecting Liu Yuan's safety. At a glance, there were endless grassland people under his feet, and the hustle and bustle filled his ears, and a wave of pride ignited from the bottom of Liu Yuan's heart.

"Are you ready for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?" Liu Yuan spoke softly.

"It's just a big order, just need to finish the construction of the altar, everything is ready, just wait for you to set a specific date!" Lan Zhi and Wang Rou, who were behind them, hurriedly replied, they were the general leaders of the ceremony.

"Three days later, at sunrise time, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens will start on time, and there must be no mistakes!" With his hands behind his back, Liu Yuan said solemnly.

"No!"

……

Early in the morning, before dawn, the entire Dragon City was already active, and there was a lot of movement. On the tall and magnificent altar, the sacrifices and sacrificial vessels that had been prepared were neatly placed, and dozens of wizards had already begun to "behave as demons", shaking their heads and dancing with their hands.

Liu Yuan was dressed in gold armor and a golden helmet, with an iron sword at his waist, and stood on the altar. On the long stone steps, neatly occupied guards, below are the Hun lords, nobles, and generals.

The guards were dressed in mighty armor, and the fur of the horses was cleanly brushed, and they were firmly guarded around the altar. Beyond that are the dense "Huns" tribesmen, just waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Liu Yuan's dragon city sacrificed to the sky, and the surrounding forces of the Xiongnu also moved when they heard the news, and several countries in the Western Regions, Liangzhou Qiangren, Ding Ling, Fuyu, and even Wuhuan and Goguryeo all sent people to watch the ceremony. Liu Yuan did not refuse.

With the first rays of morning light in the east, the long-prepared ceremony of worshipping the heavens officially began. Drums play in unison and trumpets blaring. The Xiongnu's ritual of sacrificing to the heavens was not simple, cumbersome, boring, and boring, but no one showed it, and they were all very serious.

Jiang He, the god stick, had a good time, held up a silk book, and read the lengthy sacrificial text. Starting from the autumn of Xia Shang and the ancestors of the Huns, to Mao Dun, Lao Shang and other Xian Shan Yu, until Liu Yuan, it can be regarded as entering the main topic. Then there is the ability to praise Liu Yuan to the fullest, with gorgeous rhetoric and exquisite words.

Liu Yuan's face was expressionless, as if he was listening carefully, but his eyes were wandering and very careless. The hundreds of thousands of people down there listened with relish, although many did not understand it, and most of them did not.

It wasn't until Jiang He finished reading that Liu Yuan waved his hand to ask him to step back, and his mouth was also dry. It took half a day to offer gifts, worship the heavens, and worship the ancestors, and finally it was completed.

Standing directly on the highest point, he looked down at everyone in the audience, attracting all the eyes of Long Cheng.

"I, Liu Yuan, am the son of heaven and the lord of the grassland!"
