In the sixth summer of the Han Yuande, Bingchen (the eighth day of the first month). Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the area of Yuyangsai, rain finally ushered in.

Gales pour down from the sky with water vapor from the ocean.

The dripping rain brought hope and pushed the Huns into the quagmire of hell.

The military minister's eyes were gloomy, looking at the rain and fog outside the tent, and the whole person fell into remorse and despair like this weather.

He sighed as he held a flask, gulping down his wine.

For him, now, the whole world, there is no hope.

Yesterday, he already knew the news of the destruction of the Xu army.

The defeat of Xu Xu's army not only dealt him a heavy blow, but also put him and his empire in a desperate situation immediately.

Now the situation is - the Han Dynasty has blocked the way for the main force of the Xiongnu to return to the steppe through the straight.

And if you want to cross from other places and return to the grassland, it's not impossible.

In fact, it only takes about 300 miles from Yuyangsai to the north, crossing the Yushui (Baihe), and then crossing the Yanshan Mountain.

But the problem is that the areas in this area, not to mention the Huns, even the Han Dynasty people rarely visit.

There are only a few old trails that run through valleys and river valleys.

Suppose the Huns choose to retreat from here.

That means they have to throw away everything they can.

And decisions must be made immediately.

It is even more necessary to hide from the Han Dynasty and break through from this area before the rains have caused flash floods and mudslides.

There is no doubt that the Huns will abandon all their baggage, wounded, and even livestock, domes, and even weapons in order to get out of the jam with their tails between their legs.

But......

This is meaningless in the eyes of the military ministers.

Not to mention, walking on such a road, 70,000 or 80,000 people crossed the mountains and mountains, how many people would die on this road?

Alone, if this were the case, the warlord had no doubt that he would be dragged off his horse by two slaves on the road and stoned to death.

Even, the nobles of the various tribes may not even be able to use this cover-up.

Just launch a mutiny and kill him and all the nobles and samurai who were loyal to him!

Just like back then, he killed his uncle Youxian Wang.

Anyway......

For the Huns, he is already a negative asset.

Completely negative equity.

Militarily, although there were flashpoints of the Western Expedition, they were repeatedly defeated against the Han Dynasty, and even plunged the entire royal court into such a crisis.

Politically, his strategy was completely bankrupt.

In the west of the river, it was difficult to hold the rebellion in Shan hostage, and in the north of the shogun, various departments supported troops to stand on their own.

In the Western Regions, the rule of the Xiongnu is not estimated to be much better.

No nobleman will allow him to live anymore.

Now, the reason why these people don't do it is just because they don't want the Han Dynasty people to take advantage of it!

Don't you see, there are few nobles in this tent?

Even many of the nobles who had been loyal to him had now turned their backs on him.

Only those nobles who grew up with him or who he personally promoted had to follow him on the road to the dark.

"Big order in ...... What are we going to do? Hu Yan Dangtu asked the military minister in a low voice.

In the past two days, as the news spread that the Han army had completely annihilated the Xiongnu ace Xu Jun's army.

The entire Xiongnu experienced an unprecedented ideological reshuffle and re-alignment.

The situation has become extremely sinister.

Even, at any time someone will launch a mutiny.

Now, there are only a few chips that military ministers can turn over.

"Do the Han Dynasty people have an answer?" the military minister asked with his head bowed.

A few days ago, he and King Xia sent envoys to contact the Han Dynasty, as long as the Han Dynasty people were willing to negotiate peace, then anything could be discussed.

Land cession, indemnity and even tribute!

Of course, the military ministers and the nobles of the Huns never considered such a thing as fulfilling the contract.

For them, the signed treaty is just paper to wipe their buttocks, and they can be thrown away when they run out.

But alas......

The people of the Han Dynasty are not fooled!

King Xia can still hear the sound on his side, but Yuyangsai's side has been silent.

Not only remained silent, but also constantly exchanged fire with the Huns.

Their cavalry, even crossing the fishing water several times, wanted to cut off the northern escape route of the Xiongnu army.

"The Han Dynasty still hasn't answered...... Hu Yan Dangtu also sighed and said: "It's the Xia King's side, it is said that there has been progress...... I heard that the Han Dynasty also sold a batch of grain to the Xia king......"

When the military minister heard this, he let out an oh sound, and did not get angry as before.

"Da Dan Yu ......" Hu Yan Dangtu straightened his waist slightly, and persuaded: "Let's withdraw...... The people of the Han Dynasty have a saying that if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood! As long as my Great Huns are still there, there will still be a chance to ......"

"Heh......" the warlord shook his head.

Remove?

And then get killed on the way?

He knew very well that the defeat in this battle had destroyed all his life.

The nobles below will definitely want his life on the way to withdraw their troops.

Because, obviously, his single Yu is already a negative asset for the entire Huns.

Especially after Yu Shan was taken hostage, the only remaining loyal ministers withered.

No one will support a leader who doesn't even have a successor!

What's more, this leader has also lost his last reliance - the Xu Army!

But......

The war has been fought until now, especially after experiencing the double blow of betrayal and the defeat of the Xu army, the military ministers no longer care.

He is like a gambler who has lost everything, and his heart is full of remorse and resentment.

In the eyes of the military ministers, if he does not come to this swallow thistle, he chooses to go west.

Now, he was probably standing in the town hall of Kuzhanti, with the nobles of the Yue clan and the Great Xia clan crawling at his feet, piles of gold filling the hall, and countless slaves, like docile lambs, being driven back to the east.

Where is the current embarrassment?

Now, he has lost everything, even the future.

"Da Dan Yu ......" Hu Yan Dangtu seemed to be very unwilling, he knelt down and pleaded: "Please make up your mind immediately, and withdraw your troops while the river is not rising yet!" ”

Although, to cross the fishing water to the north, to cross the Yanshan Mountain, there may be various accidents.

But it's much, much better than staying here and waiting to die.

Moreover, in Huyan Dangtu's view, this rain came in time.

The rain was so heavy that the people of the Han Dynasty would definitely not dare to pursue it.

As long as they crossed the Yin Mountain, the Xiongnu army was free.

Now it's too late to rush back to Hexi to extinguish the rebellion that is difficult to carve, and then rely on Gaolan Mountain and Juyanze to guard against the surprise attack of the Han Dynasty cavalry.

Pity......

The military minister didn't hear it at all, just lowered his head and occasionally took a sip of the wine in the jug.

At his feet, there were now more than a dozen flasks lying horizontally.

Looking at the appearance of the military minister, Hu Yan Dangtu could only shake his head and walk out of the big tent.

Several nobles immediately gathered around and asked, "Da Danghu, what do you say?" ”

"Alas!" Hu Yan Dangtu sighed and said: "I have no fighting spirit, and I can no longer be my Hun plow!" ”

Hu Yan Dangtu turned his head, looked at one of them, and asked, "What did King Xia say over there?" ”

"King Xia has agreed, if I am willing to nominate him as Shan Yu, I am willing to ignore the past suspicions, and still entrust him with a heavy responsibility!" The man replied: "King Xia also said that he knows the ability and ambition of the big boss, if the big boss is willing, the king of Xia is willing to worship the big boss as the left general, and still lead the royal court and ten thousand horses!" ”

Hu Yandang Tu took a deep breath when he heard this.

He knew very well that with the destruction of the three thousand horsemen of Xu Xu, the Black Crow and the Forced Fall, and the Zuo Xian King Yu Shan was held hostage by the Qu and the Eagle Eagle, the position of the military minister Shan Yu was already crumbling, except for those tribes who had followed him to the west and those who had gained benefits from him and diehards like himself, everyone else had already defected from him.

The leaders of the various tribes have long wanted to change to Shan Yu.

The reason is that no one has had a seizure until now.

One is that they are afraid of being taken advantage of by the Han Dynasty, and the other is that they have not yet coordinated their interests.

After all, it's easy to kill a single Yu, but it's too difficult to set up another single Yu.

Since Yin Zhi died in the battle of Ma Yi and his sister-in-law Uwei died violently, only the orthodox clan of military ministers remains, and the only legitimate old Shangshan is the bloodline.

But......

Now, the only surviving son of the military minister, the hope of the empire, Zuoxian King Yu Dan is supported by the ditch and carving.

The military ministers are alone in themselves, and they cannot protect themselves, and they even have no future.

In other words, since Mao Dunshan established the clan system, the Xiongnu Empire has for the first time had an embarrassing situation in which all the clan double insurance has failed.

In other words, within the Twins clan, everyone can be the king - as long as the fist is big!

So, the people of the tribes were very confused.

Some people think that King Zuogu Li is very good, and some people think that King Ruoyu in the north of the curtain is good - although he is the concubine of Mao Dun Shan Yu, he is highly respected, but in fact, for the royal court guards and nobles who have helped him clean the power of King Youxian, they actually have only one choice, that is, King Xia!

Only this nobleman of the Twin Clan, who has not a strong foundation but has a reputation in various ministries, who has been imprisoned for twenty years, can be supported.

When other people come to power, the first thing they have to do is to kill them all!

It's like they once killed all the Right Sage King and his family!

He was slaughtered, and he was more likely to be hung on the altar of the gods, skinned alive and died!

"Did King Xia really say that?" Hu Yan Dangtu asked.

"Yes...... Big Boss! The man nodded tremblingly.

"Then immediately go and invite King Xia to come to Shan Yuting...... Hu Yan Dangtu said almost tremblingly: "Tell King Xia: Shan Yu is sick, I am afraid he will not be able to live for a long time, and I want to pass on the throne to him!" Please come to Shan Yuting to preside over the situation! ”

"Yes!" The man took the command and departed.

Hu Yan Dangtu turned his head, looked at the others again, and said, "It's not thin for me to wait for me, let him go on the road decently......

"Yes!" The men looked at each other and eventually nodded their heads.

They knew very well that the power they had in their hands was just this 10,000 cavalry in the court, and when they left the royal court, other tribes might not buy their accounts.

If you want these tribes to be convinced, you have to come up with a reasonable plan.

Especially at present, under the noses of the Han Dynasty, we have to be cautious.

"Nanmi, you are the person in charge of Shan Yu's tent, you go and gather all the warriors now, tell them that Shan Yu is sick and needs to recuperate, let them strengthen their guard, and don't let anyone approach the king's tent!"

"Yes!"

"It's hard! You are the commander in charge of the guard, go and gather the heads of the clans to wait on the side of the king's tent, and say that the great order has something important to announce......"

“……”

One order after another was constantly issued by Hu Yan Dangtu, and more than a dozen nobles took their own orders.

And with the issuance of these orders, in fact, this royal court of Shan Yu, the Xiongnu Shan Yu, an absolutely safe place, has fallen under his control.

But Hu Yan Dangtu was still a little worried.

In the history of the Xiongnu, there were many people who wanted to overthrow Shan Yu in the coup d'état, but none of them succeeded.

Even if it is Mao Dun Shan Yu before killing his father, he has to go through preparations, and he has to wait for the opportunity for Tou Manshan Yu to go out hunting before he dares to launch.

Because, Shan Yu's popularity in Shan Yu's court is too high!

The entire Shan Yu court of soldiers and samurai was Shan Yu's slaves.

They are people who owe direct allegiance to Shan Yu.

Now although Shan Yu has lost everything, God knows how many people are left who are still loyal to him in the court?

At this time, there must be no chaos.

If you're not careful, you might lose it all!

Fortunately, everything went well, and half an hour later, King Xia, who had been waiting for news outside Shan Yu's court, walked into Shan Yu's court with dozens of warriors.

Obviously, this Xia King had been waiting near Shan Yuting.

Instead of as Hu Yan Dangtu said, he was arguing with the Han Dynasty people in Yu Xi, hundreds of miles away.

"King!" Hu Yandang Tu led people forward and bowed: "The Great Huns will rely on you from now on!" ”

……………………………………

The military ministers were indifferent to everything that was going on outside.

In his eyes, everything in this world seems to be against him.

Not only the people of the Han Dynasty, but even his wine, seems to be working against him.

If not, how can you not get drunk?

"Damn the wine! Why not let this alone be a sin? The military minister scolded: "Even you dare to disobey me, the great Hun Shan Yu, the order of the plough and the lonely? Give me sin! ”

"Just want to get drunk?" A voice suddenly said beside him, "Why don't you try the minion's wine......"

Before the military minister could tell whose voice it was, a wine jug had already been handed to him.

He didn't think about it, so he picked it up and drank it directly.

Grunt......

The spicy liquor entered his throat, stimulating the nerves of the military minister and sobering him up.

He looked up at the tent.

Dozens of samurai with swords stood on either side, and a man in a cloak stood in the middle of the temple.

The man was wearing a gold headdress representing the Hun clan, and a ringing dart was pinned to his waist.

The warlord remembered very well that it was his chirping, a symbol of his power, which had been passed down to him by his father, and that he was to pass it on to his heirs in the future.

How did you get to that man?

He glared slightly, and a familiar face met his eyes.

That was his loyal dog, Zuo Da was a big household.

I only heard this loyal slave in the past say: "Da Danyu, the slave thinks that you are seriously ill now, and you should be the king of Lixia as the sect race, for Zuo Tu Luxury, presiding over the overall situation, please give me a name!" ”

Although the military minister was a little confused, he still instinctively wanted to jump up and scold, but there was a colic pain in his stomach, which made him unable to make a sound, and he could only watch Hu Yan's performance.

"Da Danyu, the slave has thought about it...... King Xia, is your younger brother, the wise man who has been praised by Lao Shangdan, is it a great god son who can lead my Great Hun forward with wisdom, or is it better to be named Juli Lake...... What do you think? ”

The military minister looked at him coldly, and his mind was now extremely clear.

"Rebellion!" The military minister scolded in his heart, but his chest suddenly hurt, making him convulse.

"Alas, Da Dan Yu is sick...... Please Zuo Tu is ordered to be ordered in front of Da Dan Yu quickly! Hu Yan Dangtu urged.

Xia Wang ...... Oh no, Juli Lake immediately knelt down on one knee according to the tradition of the Xiongnu, drew the saber from his waist, and handed it to Huyan Dangtu, who put the knife in the hands of the military ministers, and then two shamans appeared at the right time, took two skulls, put them on the ground, and recited a mantra, which was calling the gods to come down and testify.

Then, Huyan Dangtu grabbed the minister's hand, held his hand, and made a heavy cut on Juli Lake's face, allowing the blood to flow out and drip onto the minister's arm.

Then, Hu Yan Dangtu shouted: "Great Heavenly God, allow Da Dan to make the Xia King Juli Lake as the left Tu Lu, for the clan, and for the king of all the people who draw the bow!" ”

The military minister could only watch everything happen, and he didn't even have the ability to snort.

On this day, the military minister Shan Yu has become a thing of the past.

The sentence plough lake is single, and it has become the present tense.
