Chapter 49: Debate
Mao Dun has no choice now, his father has the supreme right. What Yu Rang did alone, his subordinates had to do, and no Huns were allowed to violate it.
However, the character of the Huns is straightforward, and if the words are reasonable, the Huns will also support and sympathize with him.
Maudun shouted, "Everyone! Which of you heard Da Shan Yu personally say that he wanted the princes and princesses to be martyred!? โ
There was silence below, and no one answered.
"Maudun, you presumptuous! Da Dan Yu told me in person! How could there be anything wrong! โ
Mao Dun smiled coldly: "Only you heard?" Are you the prince of Da Shan Yu? Are you one of Da Danyu's personal guards? Are you the brains of Da Shan Yu? You're just a casual follow-up! How could Shan Yu only say such an important thing to one of the retinue of the Yan clan! Besides, you are from the Yue clan, how can you be a close minister of my Great Hun Shan Yu! So, we don't believe it! โ
When the people below heard Mao Dun say this, they all turned their heads and ears, thinking that Mao Dun made sense.
Mao Dun continued: "Before I returned to the grassland, I heard that you bastard Yue's pawn gave us a lot of bad ideas, which greatly reduced the national strength of the Xiongnu, and the people were defeated year after year. You still have the face to point fingers at this! Even if Shan Yu really wants to let his children be martyred, you bastard fooled him, and then he came to deceive our people! I think you're the first to get rid of you! โ
"Bold! Maudun! Don't think that if you're the eldest prince, I won't dare touch you! You absconded from the Qin State to Shouyang Mountain, and did not complete the mission of the Huns, how can you explain it! โ
This time he was relaxed, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that I am in Shouyang Mountain?" Could it be that you've been sending people to spy on me? โ
After Mao Dun asked Haba, he turned his face to the Xiongnu tribes and said, "Everyone, when I was practicing in Shouyang Mountain, there were assassins sent by Haba to kill me, and 2,000 Hun cavalry also came to attack Shouyang Mountain. Look, this is the first assassin of the steppe, Khara! โ
Maudon finished speaking, and pointed to Iled beside him.
The Huns all looked up and down at the first assassin of the steppe, and exchanged heads and began to discuss.
"However, Khora has now repented and become my chief guard. His current name is Eled, which means my scimitar. โ
Everyone was in an uproar, and the first assassin in the hall was subdued by Maudun, which shows that Maudun has a good method.
Ilder stepped forward, holding his right hand over his chest and saluting everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Elder, the original Khorat. The eldest prince's mind, character, and ability make me extremely admired. Therefore I became the prince's scimitar, and cut for him any obstacle that was before him. The six bandits of Qilian Mountain and I were all sent by Haba to assassinate the prince, and now all seven of us have become the prince's bodyguards. I swear to the eternal heavens that there are indeed two thousand Hun cavalry who have pursued and killed the prince of Maudun. The general who took the lead was also caught by us. โ
With that, Ilder waved his hand, and Mo Dian threw a large bag over.
Ilder opened the bag, and inside it was the captured Hun general.
The man was tied like a rice dumpling, with a sock in his mouth.
When the Huns saw it, it was indeed Ma Siqihan, the captain of the Yan Guards, and they were in an uproar!
The captain of the guard of the Yan clan actually took two thousand Huns to kill the Huns' own prince, which is really a strange story for the ages!
Indignant voices began to appear in the crowd, and even some straightforward Huns began to curse the Yan clan and Haba.
Over the years, it has always been the Yan clan in power, and the life of the Huns is not as good as day by day, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the savior.
Everyone knows that Lu Dao Baha is the one who gives advice behind the Yan clan, but because of Haba's obscenity, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.
Over the years, Haba has been spreading rumors about Maudun everywhere, saying that he was treasonous, colluded with the Qin people, and beheaded his compatriots.
So everyone has always been prejudiced against the eldest prince.
Now that the evidence is ironclad, Haba can't deny it at all.
The anger of the Xiongnu people was ignited, they thought about their miserable life, and thought about the prince who had gone through hardships in front of them, and the prince and princess who were actually going to be buried, and everyone was excited.
Many Huns took out bows and arrows and sabers, and the situation could get out of control at any time.
Bahรก was a wise man, he shouted at this point, and then scolded Merton, "Bastard! How can you deceive the people of the Huns! Even if there is no need to give Da Danyu a burial, these princes and princesses deserve to die. โ
His words were really shocking, and the mastermind behind the murder was so forceful.
Is it justified to kill?
Listen to what Haba said, "The year before last, the little princess and the little prince urinated into the river, which angered the heavens. As a result, it snowed heavily for 30 days on the grassland, many of our cattle and sheep froze to death, and many people starved to death because of the snowstorm. This is something that everyone knows, and at that time, Saman said that the perpetrator had to shed all the blood on his body in order to calm the heavens' anger. Da Dan Yu Aizi and his daughter were so anxious that they were not punished severely, but only confiscated their land, cattle and sheep. Do you think they deserve to die? โ
The Huns were silent, and there was indeed this the year before last.
"A few months ago, King Youxian was just defeated by the Great Moon Clan, is there such a thing? The commander of the cavalry of the right king was his eldest son Abu Dhab, and the vanguard was the second princess's man Sanrekha. It was this Abu Dhab and Sanrekhan who delayed the warplane, so that the army of the Right Xian King was almost completely annihilated, and we lost countless people and livestock. What's even more hateful is that the gold people used by our Huns to sacrifice to the gods of heaven were also snatched away by the Yueshi people. Coincidentally, before the war with the Yue Clan, Shan Yu asked the second prince and the little princess to take the Jin people to inspect the Youxian Wang's department, and the Yue people took the opportunity to take away our sacred relics to worship the sky. The second prince and princess are not good for protecting the holy relics, don't they deserve to die? According to the practice of the Huns, the defeated generals will be killed by the whole family, so should Abu Zab and the eldest princess, Sangre Khan and the second princess die? Did I make up these things? Let's comment on it! โ
Haba shook his hand and turned his face away.
Maudon turned to look at his three younger sisters and younger brother, and the four of them nodded and lowered their heads.
It seems that what Haba said is true, which is something they didn't expect.
As soon as Haba said this, the Huns stopped talking.
Seeing the advantage, Haba returned to his side, and continued, "Da Danyu doesn't want the princesses and princes to die because of their guilt, and they can't violate the rules of the Huns. In order to protect the honor of these sinners, they came up with a way to die for the sake of Shan Yu's health. At least let them die with honor, and let future generations admire their filial piety. It's really well-intentioned, how can you people understand it, but slander our great Shan Yu. Maudun, are you still unaware of your sin? โ
This time Mao Dun was really speechless.
What Haba said is indeed true, according to the practice of the Huns, his younger siblings and brothers-in-law are really dead.
If you forcibly save people again, it will be against your ancestors.
In that case, not only will you be in prison, but you will also lose the hearts of the people.
Seeing this, Haba ordered his wolf soldiers, snatched the prince and princess again, and loaded them into another prisoner cart.
Mao Dun knew that they were at a loss, and they could only watch their relatives return to the clutches of the devil.
"Maudun! Now let's talk about you. Originally, you did not complete the mission of the Qin State, but Da Shan Yu heard that you led King Zuo Xian to repel the Donghu army, and decided to offset the merits and demerits, and no longer pursue it. In addition, Da Shan Yu heard that you were coming back, and he missed you very much, and he was going to entrust you with important tasks. But as the eldest son, you have to serve the Great Huns, so Da Dan Yu gives you a chance to rescue the princes and princesses. According to the rules of the Xiongnu, those who make great contributions can save the lives of their relatives. If you can retrieve the Jin people from the Yue clan without a single soldier, your younger siblings, as well as Abu Dhab and Sanrekhan, will be saved. Let's talk about it, is Da Danyu both benevolent and just and selfless!? โ
Haba raised his arms and bowed in the direction of the big tent.
At this point, in front of the Hun people, Mao Dun actually had no choice.
One is for family affection, and the other is for the sacred relics of the Huns, he can only promise Haba.
"Okay, that's it. I just took the liberty of following Da Danyu's instructions. I'm going to the Otsuki clan now, but you must not touch a single hair of my relatives during my visit. โ
Seeing that Maudun agreed, Haba smiled proudly, "Maudun, we're not joking. If you don't go back, or go for ten or eight years, will we still be waiting for you? Da Shan Yu said that he could only give you a month, and if he couldn't get the gold in a month, I could only let them be buried. In addition, if you can't get the gold back, even if you haven't completed the mission of Da Danyu, you will be punished for your sins. โ
When Mao Dun heard this, he was anxious, "Haba, aren't you determined to find fault?" The Xiongnu royal court in the capital of the Dayue clan has to walk for at least twenty days, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth, let alone find a way to retrieve the Jinren. Didn't you make it clear that you wanted their lives? โ
Maudun finished and pointed to his younger siblings.
Haba ignored him, commanded the wolf soldiers to take the three princesses and the little prince away, turned his head and threw out a sentence, "Wait for you to get back the golden man, and then come to the royal court to find me." Da Dan Yu has been benevolent to the end, you are good for yourself. โ
Mao Dun looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were gradually moving away, and his heart was like a knife.
Mo Zi walked over, took Mao Dun's hand warmly, and silently did not say a word.
She looked at the majestic man in front of her, as if she could touch his anxious and helpless heart.
can only watch his relatives fall into the clutches of the devil, and he has all his strength but can't use it, this kind of helpless and crazy mood Mo Zi has not felt it here in Maoton.
She knew that Mao Dun was a man with a heart for the world.
The rejuvenation of the Huns, the safety of their relatives, their own future, and all the burdens are on this Xiongnu hero.
If there is suffering, you have to endure it, and no matter how tired you are, you have to endure it, and this torment often makes Maudun more tired than dead.
The only thing Mozi can do is to give him a steady stream of warmth and relieve pressure on him all the time.
No complaints, only understanding and support for his man.
In fact, Mozi has to bear no less than Mao Dun, but more.
Mao Dun had to carry the fate of the entire Huns, and she was carrying the pressure of the two of them on her shoulders.
Mao Dun clenched his fists tightly and led everyone out of Dongshan to Hulun Village, where he lived when he was young.
This Hulun Village was the fief of Mao Dun before, so it was all the people who belonged to Mao Dun.
The Huns were very loyal to their tribal leaders and had a strong sense of belonging and identity.
In these years, Mao Dun has not been there, and Hulun Village has no shelter, and there is no prosperity at all.
When Mao Dun was there, Hulunzhai could be called the first brave and wealthy tribe of the Xiongnu.
Now, many of the tribes have been snatched up by the three princes, the Yan clan, and even Haba.
Many people in the village also migrated to escape persecution, and the rest were still loyal to Maudun.
Everyone's life is extremely hard, there is always no access to the pastures with abundant water and grass, and the years of conscription have hollowed out the strong men in the tribe, and the rest are some old and young women and children with yellow faces and thin muscles.
Even so, when everyone saw that Maudun had finally returned to his territory, they all did their best to prepare food and shelter for the prince.
Mao Dun was very grateful, for the sake of his younger brothers and sisters, for the sake of these loyal subordinates, for the sake of Mozi, in order to revive the glory of the Great Huns, he would spare everything he had.
It was too tiring to travel for several days, and finally when we arrived at a place where we could be completely at ease, everyone hastily ate some hand-caught lamb meat, and fell asleep one after another.
When the red sun rose on the second day, Mao Dun left Kulun Village with his group, and before leaving, he left all the remaining things from the Donghu people to the people of Kulun Village.
As agreed, Ilder gave the signal.
Meda and Willow Bank and the six guards joined Maudun in the upper reaches of the Uchina River.
The scene of the funeral yesterday Mo Da stood in the distance and saw it clearly, and he knew that the eldest brother of Lu Dao would definitely go to the Da Yue clan to get the gold as promised.
Last night, Moda ** didn't sleep, and followed Haba with Liu An and quietly sneaked into his camp.
