Touman had many sons, and Maudon and Ali were two of them.

Mao Dun was the eldest son, twenty-four years old, and was a very forbearant and courageous fellow. And in the clan, the prestige is very high, and it is recognized by everyone as the successor of the head man. It's just that due to the existence of Tu Qi earlier, Mao Dun has always been low-key.

And Ali is the second son of Touman.

is the same age as Mao Dun, or even born on the same day and month of the same year, but because Mao Dun was born an hour early, he can only rank second. But Ali's background is much deeper than that of Maudun. His mother is the daughter of King Donghu, that is to say, from the day Ali was born, he had the powerful Donghu behind him as a backer, and Mao Dun was far from being able to compare.

The reason why Touman has never taken the right to Tu Qi is that these two sons are also one of the factors.

Maudun was shrewd and capable, and had a high status among the tribes; Ali is brave and martial, and there are Donghu people as backers in the back, it is really difficult to distinguish the best. From the bottom of his heart, Touman hopes that Maudun will succeed him, because Ali's Donghu brand is too heavy. But he didn't dare to offend the Donghu people, and Ali also had supporters within the Xiongnu, which made Touman very jealous.

But in fact, what Touman fears the most is the myth about Ali.

Ali was born on the grassland, and he was born very bizarrely. Ali's mother was very boyly, and on the day of Maudun's birth, Ali's mother had no warning of giving birth, so she was riding a horse and hunting, and suddenly felt abdominal pain on the way.

There was no one around. Arlie was born suddenly.

When Touman and the men found him, Ali's mother was dead, leaving Ali alone. Crying on the prairie.

If that's all there is, Touman won't have too many worries.

The problem was that at the time of his present Ali, there were twelve wolves around him. Crawling there quietly, that is, not hurting Ali or touching Ali, as if he were a protector. After the head man left, the twelve wolves also fled immediately.

The people who saw this scene at the time. I couldn't help but exclaim.

So, Ali also has a nickname called the Twelve Wolves. But people prefer to call him Twelve. Because it's kinder.

Touman has been worried!

Fearing that one day, Ali would take his life like a wild wolf on the prairie.

He wanted to kill Ali. But he was afraid of the revenge of King Donghu. I had to stay by my side and watch Arley grow day by day.

Let's be honest. Touman's heart also felt more and more fear.

He did not leave Ali with him, but sent him to the periphery of the king's tent. The name is called experience, but in fact, Touman wants Ali to die outside. At the same time, in order to prevent the Donghu people from questioning, Mao Dun was also sent out. That way, no one will complain.

More than ten years have passed. Ali didn't die.

Same as Maudun. Thrive on the steppe, and in the wind. Day by day, it is getting stronger.

As for Touman, as he watched the Xiongnu grow stronger day by day, his desire for power deepened day by day. Whether it was Maudun or Ali, in his mind, all of them were dangerous factors that would threaten his throne alone. Even in the tent of the king of his land, except for the Yan clan, no one is allowed to enter without his permission, and the guards can be called strict.

Now, Tu Qi is dead!

The dispute between King Zuo Xian will inevitably appear between Ali and Maoton.

Behind Mao Dun, there is the support of the king of the left and right valleys, and Ali has the support of the king of the right sage, and at the same time there are powerful Donghu people as backers.

If the two of them fought......

Touman secretly calculated in his heart. As for the question of the heir, he was not worried at all. He had a lot of sons, and they were all the kind of people who couldn't threaten him. When he dies, someone will naturally take over, which is better than being on the lookout all the time.

"Da Danyu, the eldest prince and the second prince are here!"

Touman came to his senses from his contemplation, and hurriedly raised his head and said, "Let them in." ”

After a while, two burly men, one tall and one short, walked in from outside the king's tent. He walks short in front and is about seven feet tall. Short and thick neck, thick lips, high cheekbones, and somewhat sunken eye sockets, but it exudes a calm temperament.

He's Maudun!

Behind him, the tall one, was Arley.

It is long like most Huns, with a top of the head and braids all around. Eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

Speaking of which, Maudon and Ali are competitors, and one is like a fire, the other is as cold as ice, and they belong to two completely different people, and even make people feel incompatible. But these two people are safe and sound, and they are very good.

In this, there is the reason for the forbearance of Maudun.

Although Ali is arrogant and domineering, he still has a lot of respect for Maudun.

Even, his respect for Maudun was far greater than that of Touman. It is precisely for this reason that Tou Manyue is jealous of these two people.

"See Da Dan Yu!"

Although they were father and son, Maudon and Ali did not mean anything disrespectful, stepped forward, knelt at Touman's feet, and kissed his boots.

"Get up!"

Touman looked at the two sons, but the more frightened he felt in his heart.

However, on his face, he still showed the kindness that a father should have, "I came to the two of you today to discuss something with you." I'm sure you've heard of it...... Tu Qi died. This waste has lost the face of the Huns. Tens of thousands of troops were blocked by the projectile land of Fuping, not to mention, and they lost troops one after another. It's better if he's dead, otherwise I won't spare him easily. ”

Maudon and Ali looked at each other, but neither spoke.

Touman said: "As soon as Tu Qi dies, the position of King Zuo Xian must be implemented as soon as possible." You are all my dearest sons. I have called you here today to choose one of the two of you to take over the position of King Zuoxian. Today, there are still about 40,000 people under the command of King Zuoxian. Someone needs to be sent over as soon as possible to pacify ...... You say, who of you is more suitable to choose to take over the throne of Zuo Xianwang? ”

Alidi's eyes flashed with a gleam.

But Mao Dun still looked like an ancient well, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Touman keenly captured the glint in Ali's eyes. I couldn't help but sneer secretly in my heart: Twelve, although you are brave, you are young after all. Your ambition still can't be hidden. No matter how much you covered it up earlier. But now......

However, when he saw Maudun's calm appearance, his heart chuckled again.

If Arley is a wolf. This Maudun is more like a lone wolf. The attack of the head wolf always has a pattern, but this lone wolf ...... Touman, who lives on the grassland, knows that a lone wolf is far more terrifying than a wolf. More dangerous. It also made him even more uneasy.

"Mortun, what do you think?"

Mao Dun smiled faintly. grinned, revealing slightly yellow teeth, "I don't have much idea, everything is at the mercy of Da Danyu's orders." ”

This cunning lone wolf!

Touman secretly cursed in his heart, "Ali, what about you? ”

There was a hint of eagerness in Ali's eyes. However, after he pondered for a long time, he still resisted the urge to recommend himself. "My brother and I think the same thing. Obey the orders of the big order. ”

"Well, I know that your two brothers are very friendly.

So be it. I won't force you...... Let's have a competition, if anyone can win Fuping, who will take over Zuo Xianwang, how about it? ”

Ali and Maudon looked at each other again, but still did not speak.

"Also, I've heard that the current situation in Northland County is not what we imagined. The troops there were so empty that the Marquis of Tanglin Zhaoping, when Fuping was attacked, could not draw troops to help. As you know, I've been looking for Qin Manzi's weakness. As soon as I broke through Fuping, I gathered a large army and waved my troops south. When the time comes, King Zuo Xian can be the vanguard. ”

Ali's body couldn't help but tremble.

The eager light in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and he involuntarily clenched his fists.

On the contrary, he was stunned and frowned.

"The news of Da Dan Yu is confirmed

"The Qin barbarians are indeed difficult to deal with, but the people of the Central Plains are not united. This news was accidentally inquired by a businessman from Zhao State, who was doing business in the north. The other day, when he was selling goods from me, I bought them for fifty eridium gold, and it was absolutely very certain. ”

"That old Zhao merchant, is he reliable?"

"That guy has been trading with us for years and is very reliable."

"So what are you waiting for?" Ali couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Let's fight over and kill all the damn Qin barbarians."

Didn't that Qin Barbarian Land King want to exterminate us? As long as we break through the righteous canal, the king of the Qin barbarians will definitely be afraid. ”

Maudun didn't have an interface, but lowered his head in contemplation.

Touman said: "But the question now is, who can break through Fuping in the name of King Zuoxian?" You should know that whoever loses the face of the Huns must be recovered. To attack Fuping, you must be led by King Zuoxian, are you willing to accept the competition? ”

"Big Order!"

Mao Dun suddenly spoke: "The land of Fuping projectiles has stopped Tu Qi's footsteps, which shows that among the Qin barbarians, there are indeed capable people." Even if we break through Fuping, from Fuping to Yiqu, thousands of miles of plains. What if the Qin barbarians take advantage of our attack on Fuping to gather forces and fight us in a decisive battle on the plains? Da Shan Yu, you also know that Qin Manzi has been looking for an opportunity to fight with us. ”

"A decisive battle is a decisive battle, how can those weak southerners be the opponents of our Hun warriors?"

Ali stood up and said loudly.

Touman smiled slightly, "Mao Dun, what you think about does make sense. However, as far as I know, Qin Manzi wanted to force us to fight a decisive battle in False Yin Mountain earlier. Their elites are now gathered in Yunzhong County. The Northland County is empty, and it will take at least two months to mobilize their main forces to pass. Two months. It's enough for us to run a few round trips to the Northland, so why are you worried?

Besides, the soldiers and horses in the clouds are gathering in the north. We'll get the news for sure.

By the time their army arrived, we were already gone...... It's a good thing that you're careful. But if you are too careful, you will lose a lot of opportunities. At this point, Ali is much stronger than you, he is like a real Hun warrior. ”

In these words, there is no sense of provocation.

Maudun's cheeks twitched. But the earlier calm was immediately restored.

He glanced at Ali with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ali is very brave, and I am indeed inferior to him. In fact. It is best for King Zuo Xian to be taken over by the Ali brothers. If the big order is so decided. I raised my hands in approval. ”

Damn Maudun, I've got that to my point. He didn't even take the bait?

Doesn't he understand the meaning of this Zuo Xian King? Or is he willing to let Ali be the king of the left?

Touman couldn't help but look at Mao Dun suspiciously.

But there was a sincere light in his eyes. This strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight seems to be really ineffective.

Or is he already in an alliance to work against me?

Tou Mandi's heart is more and more uneasy.

He stood up and said, "Ali, what do you say?" ”

"If it's really as Da Shan Yu said. Arley is willing to be a pioneer. Capture the righteous canal as a gift to Da Shan Yu. ”

Turned to look at Maudun. Still calm.

Tou Man thought for a while, "Since Mao Dun is unwilling to be the king of Zuoxian, then there is no need to compete." Ali, from now on, you will be the king of Zuoxian. I command you to go to Baitugang at once, and join your soldiers and horses. I want you in a month...... No, within twenty days, we will hit Yiqu. I will gather all the troops and lead the army to follow, I wonder if you have faith? ”

Ali intervened and said, "I will definitely hit Yiqu on time." ”

"So, you should get out quickly...... Maudun, you don't have to go over. Since you are so cautious, stay here for the time being and help me take care of the baggage and the grain and grass. Ali, you must give me a good beating. You should understand that I have always been very optimistic about you. ”

After receiving the command, Ali and Maudon walked out of the king's tent.

"Brother Maoton, I'm out now!"

Maudun shook Ali's hand outside the camp and said solemnly, "Ali, you must be careful. Although Tu Qi is incompetent, he is not useless. But this time, he was beaten in Fuping and even lost his life...... This shows that Qin Manzi is really a capable person.

You have to be cautious and think big...... It's so deep!

In short, if you need any help, just let me know. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help, and I will not repeat the mistakes of Tu Qidi. ”

"Brother Maoton, don't worry, Ali is not Tu Qi's waste, I will definitely be small

Ali laughed, turned on his horse, whipped his horse and galloped away.

Looking at Ali's distant back, Maudun stood where he was, motionless......

"Eldest Prince, do you really want to make way for the Second Prince?"

A cronie asked in a low voice: "If the second prince hits Yiqu, then he is justified...... I don't understand. ”

"Bastard thing, something between my brothers, I want you to interject!"

Maudon rolled over his horse and whipped the cronie hard.

Turning his horse's head, he looked at the king's tent camp, and then in the direction in which Arri had departed. Suddenly, Mao Dun sneered.

Brother Ali, do you think King Zuo Xian is so easy to do?

Hit the righteous canal? I'm afraid you can't even see the wall on the edge of the canal...... Da Danyu, did you first want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and now you want to drive the tiger and devour the wolf? That's fine, let's see who is the fisherman.

"Prince, where are we going now?

"Go get some gifts...... Oh, bring me my collar of fire fox skins with me. Hulu Gu, can you help me inquire, where do the Yan family like to hunt recently? By the way, she helped me buy the people around Lan Zhiyan, and said that I wanted to meet her. ”

Hulugu is a native of the late Yan country, her surname is Ji, and it is said that she is still a royal family.

As for his real name, no one knows it. Everyone is accustomed to calling him by his current Xiongnu name. By Maudun's side, he acted as a staff member.

The fox deer girl answered and left in a hurry with the people.

And Maudun whipped his horse and left, and in the king's tent camp, the long sound of bull's horns echoed in the sky.
