Chapter Forty-Six: The Hun Civil War, the Dispute of Shan Yu

When Tian Jing led his troops to rest in Pusaka, a major battle of the Xiongnu was kicking off. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the protagonists of this battle are the Xiongnu right sage king Yu Fuluo and the Xiongnu old king.

Youxian King Yu Fu Luo was originally the son of Shan Yu Qiangqu, and there was a civil strife in the Southern Xiongnu, and the Marquis of Xubu Gu killed Qiangqu and usurped power, and was established as a new Shan Yu. In the face of the pursuit of the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, Yu Fuluo led the crowd to escape from the grassland to complain to the imperial court, but the Han Dynasty itself was still in chaos, and naturally no one paid attention to him. Yu Fuluo couldn't just stay in Hedong and Taiyuan to loot and make a living. Later, the Marquis of Subu Gudu was killed a year after the rebellion, but the Han court did not let Yu Fuluo return to the throne, but left Shan Yu's position vacant, and let the old king of the Southern Xiongnu manage the Southern Xiongnu tribes.

Yu Fuluo knew that it was hopeless to seize Shan Yu's position, so he stationed in the area of Taiyuan, Hedong, to recuperate and accumulate strength. From the death of his father Qiangqu to the present, for eight years, Yu Fuluo has always thought that he can return to Shan Yuting and seize his own power.

The hard work paid off, and the opportunity finally came. The old king of the Huns, who had always been cautious, was carried away by the huge benefits sent by the Han people. When he heard that the old king of the Huns and the king of Zuo Xian led 30,000 Hun cavalry south, Yu Fuluo thought that the old king of the Huns deliberately lured himself to the bait at this time. Because he clearly knew that the Han people had always been untrustworthy, and even if they conquered the land of the Han people and kidnapped their emperor, the Huns would still have to live by herding. And putting such a big hidden danger on his own expedition is really not like the style of the old king of the Huns.

But there will always be times when people make mistakes, and for some people, one mistake is enough. When Yu Fuluo's scouts found out that the soldiers and horses of the old king of the Xiongnu had been inseparable from the Han army in Fengyi County, he immediately gathered all the men and horses under his command and prepared to stab the old king of the Xiongnu in the back.

Before sending out the army, Yu Fuluo's right-hand man, who was also his younger brother Hu Chuquan, offered a strategy. Who said that the Huns would only use force to solve everything, Hu Chuquan has always been known for his resourcefulness, he said to Fu Luo: "The old king of the Huns has always been careful, this time the army went south, will definitely return to leave elite soldiers to guard Meiji, if we lead the army to attack Meiji, it will definitely go south for a while." If the old king of the Huns returns to the army, we will have no place to bury us at that time. If he directly leads his troops to attack the old king of the Huns, he has many soldiers and we have few soldiers, even if he wins by luck, if he retreats from Meiji, we will still gain nothing. ”

After hearing this, Yu Fuluo felt that Hu Chuquan made sense, "Then what should we do?" ”

Hu Chuquan said: "I led a team of soldiers and horses, and went north to Meiji under the banner of my brother, with great fanfare along the way, deliberately letting the Meiji defenders know the news. When my army arrives, they will send someone to ask for help. Lao Wang is worried about the royal court, and he will definitely come back to help in person. At that time, the elder brother ambushed Lao Wang on the way he must pass and killed him by surprise. If the old king dies, the brother gathers the remainder, and Meiji City can be decided without a fight. ”

Yu Fuluo slapped his hands when he heard this, "This plan is very good. And he did according to the plan of the Chef Spring.

After the old king of the Xiongnu was killed, he was appointed by the Han Dynasty as the representative of Shan Yu and was in charge of the southern Xiongnu tribes. Since the Xiongnu moved south, they gradually declined, and the vast grasslands were occupied by the Xianbei who rose later. The Southern Xiongnu had always relied on the support of the Han people to avoid the fate of being annexed by Xianbei, but the Southern Xiongnu had to fight against Xianbei as the northern barrier of the Han Dynasty. The Southern Xiongnu in the cracks had no chance to develop and grow at all.

When the old king of the Xiongnu was in power, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and the three dynasties of Emperor Ling, Emperor Shao and now Emperor Xian were either relatives in power, or eunuchs interfered in politics, and then Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were two military generals. In short, in the Han Dynasty, there was no day of peace. When the Han Dynasty was strong, the Southern Xiongnu could at least rely on the strength of the Han Dynasty to deter Xianbei, but when the Han Dynasty became weaker and weaker, the survival of the Southern Xiongnu had to face the threat of survival. Under the efforts of the old king of the Huns, although the Southern Xiongnu did not grow up much in recent years, they at least resisted the attack of Budugen.

Lao Wang saw that his body was getting aging, and he also had the intention of passing on the position of Shan Yu to his Zuoxian Wang. However, his son is not capable enough, and there is also the biggest threat of Yu Fuluo, the son of Shan Yu Qiangqu, although this person has been in exile, but he does not want to regain Shan Yu's position all the time. Lao Wang knew that if he still had the opportunity to help his son establish his prestige while he was there, once he died, then the Southern Xiongnu would inevitably fall apart. But how to build prestige, there has been no good opportunity.

At this time, the envoy of Guo Yan, the general of the Han Dynasty, came to the royal court. For one of the actual rulers of Chang'an, the old king of the Huns was very curious, and he did not know whether he would bring disaster or opportunity to himself. But it seemed that the heavens were taking care of themselves, and Guo Yan's messenger brought an offer. Guo Yan hoped that the Southern Xiongnu would go south to attack Zuo Fufeng and Right Feng Yi, while he would let the Xiongnu occupy the fertile land in Guanzhong and plunder the population of Guanzhong. Guo Yan had only one goal, which was to kill Li Dao by the hands of the Huns. After the deed was completed, Guo Yan ascended to the position of general, and he would ask the emperor to confer the title of Lao Wang's son as Shan Yu, and at the same time give Shan Yu the position of general of the Han Hussars. Since then, the custom has been formed, and the general and the Xiongnu have been in charge of the Han Dynasty together.

The conditions were too generous, and the old king of the Huns did not doubt it, but the problem was that there seemed to be no better opportunity to establish his son's prestige than to promise Li Dao. The so-called each takes what he needs, even if it is illusory to take charge of the Han Dynasty together, but at least he can take the opportunity to capture Feng Yi and plunder more property and population.

The old king of the Xiongnu also considered the defense of the rear, and let his most powerful general, Su Bu, guard Meiji, while he took his son to lead the army south.

Because he wanted to make a contribution to the ploughing ditch, Lao Wang asked his son Zuo Xianwang to lead the troops to attack Zuo Fufeng, and he led the troops straight down to Feng Yi on the right. King Zuo Xian was like a bamboo, and he conquered most of Fufeng County because of Guo Yan's release of water all the way, and also captured Li Dao's food yi Chiyang. Now the soldier Chen Weishui threatens Chang'an. The old king of the Huns led 20,000 cavalry and Li Wei's main army in Qiyuan and Liyi fell into a bitter battle, and it was difficult to make contributions for a while.

Just when the old king of the Huns was anxious about the war, he reported from Meiji Kuaima, saying that Yu Fuluo raised 10,000 troops to go north to Shan Yuting, preparing to attack Meiji. The old king of the Huns said, this Yufuluo is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, it doesn't move in the morning or night, but it is necessary to insert a knife in my back at the most critical time. However, it has been three months since I fought with Li Dao's soldiers and horses, and the casualties on both sides are very serious, and it is difficult to completely defeat Li Dao for a while. If the stalemate continues, the situation will be favorable to the Han army. Now that his subordinates have plundered a lot of people and property from the surrounding areas, it is time to return to the army. The most important thing is that his son Zuo Xian Wang has established his military exploits and prestige, and the withdrawal of the army at this time is just right, and he will have a long night and a lot of dreams after a long time in the Central Plains. As for the covenant on Guo Yan's side, our army has not been able to keep the covenant since ancient times, so naturally it is impossible to talk about keeping the covenant. Thinking of this, the old king of the Xiongnu asked him to inform Zuo Xian's ministry to prepare to retreat. You should have prepared for it.

Three days later, after looting near Anling, Zuo Xian's troops returned with a full load and went north to Shangjun. The defenders of Weiqiao did not dare to stop it. And among the captives captured by the Zuo Xian Wangbu this time, there was a very famous woman, who was Cai Yan, the daughter of the great writer Cai Yong. Cai Yan is also a bitter fate, she once married Hedong Wei Zhongdao, but her husband died early, and her in-laws said that she was a husband, she couldn't stand the white eyes, and went home angrily. As a result, after returning to Chang'an, his father Cai Yong was killed by Situ Wang Yun because Dong Zhuo spoke for Dong Zhuo after his death. From other people, people even say that she is Kevke's father. Cai Yan, who lost his father, did not remarry and lived alone in Chang'an. But before Li and Guo went to war in Chang'an, the people went out of the city to avoid trouble, and Cai Yan went to Anling to look for relatives, but he didn't want to be captured by the Huns. She wanted to kill herself, but King Zuo Xian took a fancy to her from among the hundreds of female captives, and from then on, King Zuo Xian took him as his own clan.

The old king of the Huns asked his cronies to escort supplies and prisoners to the north, and he personally cut off the queen. Hu Feng, as the commander of the northern front, saw that the Xiongnu had withdrawn, so he naturally would not use his family to fight with the Xiongnu. Just report the news to Li Dao quickly.

The old king of the Huns returned to the south to the court, and seeing that the Han army did not chase after him, he knew that he would not encounter a threat later. Let a few men and horses protect the supplies and the captive population, and slowly move north. He led the brigade to quickly go north to aid Meiji. But the old king of the Huns said nothing, and did not expect that danger was coming to him.

There is a big river in the north of Gaonu, which is called Walking Horse Water. Now that the weather is warmer, the river is beginning to disappear, and the grass is sprouting by the river, it is a good place for the army to rest. It was still ten days away from Meiji, and the old king of the Huns thought that he would not encounter danger at all. It was a large army near the underwater village, and only a few guards were arranged to keep vigil.

Just as everyone was asleep, suddenly an arrow burst through the sky. In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the sound was enough to hear thousands of horses. The old king of the Huns was also awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and when he got up to go out of the tent, he saw thousands of Hun cavalry rushing over in black. You don't need to ask to know that this is Yu Fuluo's troops, but the old king of the Huns said that he never thought that Yu Fu Luo would lead his troops here. It was too late to stop the resistance, and it took less than ten breaths for the cavalry to rush to the front. Now all I can do is escape, but I can't run away, there is a big river behind me, and there is no place to escape.

I saw the Hun cavalry under the command of Yu Fuluo rushing around like jackals rushing into a flock of sheep, and setting fire everywhere. The old king's soldiers and horses were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, powerless. At this moment, Lao Wang saw the familiar figure from the cavalry. The reckless boy who had been young a few years ago had grown into a true steppe hero like his father. Lao Wang watched the man riding a horse and waving a knife towards him, he knew his fate, he closed his eyes lightly, and made a wish that the gods would bless his son, at this moment, a sharp knife in the neck of the senses, blood gushing, and he lost consciousness. The people next to him saw the head of the old king of the Huns flying out, and his body fell down in response, and he put down his arms and surrendered like a chain reaction.

At this stop, Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king of the Huns, led 6,000 cavalry to defeat the old king of the Huns in a battle, killing 6,000 enemies and capturing nearly 10,000 people, completely changing the situation of the Huns. After that, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King fled westward in a hurry, and Yu Fuluo took the victorious army north to Meiji, and Su Budang surrendered without a fight. Juvro successfully ascended to the position of Shan Yu.
