Chapter 138: Immortal World
PS: I had a day's meeting today, and I was scolded by the leader, dizzy, and I rushed back to code words at seven o'clock, miserable!
The grasslands in early spring are still a world of ice and snow, and under the warm sun, the glacial rivers have begun to melt quietly. The slow-flowing water overflows the banks and flows down the dry riverbed, nourishing the grasslands.
Following the distant gaze all the way to the north, the snow-capped Lingyun Mountains rise at the edge of the sky, and the white clouds surround the snow-capped mountainside, shining like dazzling gems under the sunlight. Further north, is the sacred mountain of the Huns, Wolf Juxu Mountain, where is the homeland of Changshengtian, only the Xiongnu warriors who are not afraid of life and death can climb to the top and get the blessing of Changshengtian.
Mao Dun slowly withdrew his gaze, a little confused in his heart, will he become a warrior who has been blessed by the Immortal Heaven?
At the moment when he was distracted, the galloping guards had already rushed to his side, and said loudly in a rough voice; "Prince, there's the Tengge River ahead, I just went to try it, the ice floes can still withstand horsepower, but it's melting."
Maudun nodded, then raised his head and shouted; "Pass on my military order, the whole army should speed up the crossing of the river, and it must rush to the royal city before dark. If there is anyone who falls behind, cut it! ”
Hearing the order, a group of Hun cavalry accelerated one after another, and more than 10,000 light horsemen roared like a raging wind, heading straight for Touman City, which was not far away.
Maudun leaned down and pressed against his horse, his face aching in the cold wind, but he was unconscious, his eyes were just staring ahead, and he could no longer hold back the boiling blood in his body.
In Eternal Heaven, you will never abandon your pious son. Head Manchester City, I'm back at Risk!
Father, one day, I will prove to you with my actions that I am the best king of the steppe, and only I can lead the suffering Huns to conquer all the existence of this immortal world.
After being deposed, Maudon did not go into a rage, nor did he complain about his father's injustice to him, he just left quietly, leaving Toumancheng and returning to the fief given to him by his father. It was precisely because of Mao Dun's silent departure that Tou Man felt a little guilty about this eldest son in his heart, so he gave Mao Dun a piece of fertile grassland and 10,000 elite Hun soldiers, instead of the 10,000 old and weak as planned.
Maudon didn't despair, at least he wasn't without nothing, he clenched his hands tightly as he left the city, and his palms holding the reins ached.
This army of ten thousand is the one on which he depends for his life, so it must be his, an army that belongs entirely to him, and is loyal to him alone. He knew that his noble status alone could not conquer the heart of a Hun warrior, and that he had to be as fierce as a wolf, as sharp as a goshawk, and as cunning as a fox.
He devised an unusual feather of an arrow, a long arrow with a wind whistle that whined in the wind like a cry when fired. Maudon came to his army with the arrow, and shouted; "This is a Ming Di, you must follow the shot when I shoot it, and if you don't obey it, cut it off."
The Huns all laughed, many people didn't take what this little white face said seriously, the Huns respected warriors and strong men in their minds, and the waste prince like Mao Dun, who was thin and a general of the defeated army, naturally did not get their respect.
The men of the steppe were accustomed to a free and casual life, they were soldiers in war and herdsmen in leisure, and the endless prairie was full of pastures where they galloped. When they fight, they will only receive one order, and that is to rush forward, kill all the enemy's men, and then rob the women and the property and the women. This is the life of a Hun warrior, not a stupid person standing here listening to Mao Dun's chatter like he is now.
As if oblivious to the mocking glances in the soldiers' eyes, Maudon turned his horse's head and ordered the day's drill to go to the pasture to hunt. The eyes of the Hun soldiers showed joy, knowing that hunting is one of the favorite things for a Hun man, and blood can always satisfy the bloodthirsty thirst in the hearts of the steppe people.
In the midst of the howling and whining of the Huns, soon an adult stag was driven out of the forest and surrounded by the Huns. The soldiers all looked at Maudun, because he had to shoot the first arrow from him, because of his esteemed status.
Mao Dun slowly pulled out the ringing dizzle in the quiver and put it on the string, his face was solemn, and his tight hands trembled slightly. At this time, the soldiers on the side remembered the military order that Mao Dun had given, so they took out their bows and arrows and aimed at the stag.
A 'whoosh' whistle shot out, making a sharp sound in an arc in the air, and the panicked stag instantly fell in response to the arrow, and the feathered arrow pierced the heart. Then the soldiers of Maudon shot out, and without hesitation, they shot the arrows in their hands at the stag that was still thick on the ground, and many of the soldiers around them hesitated and shot the arrows out.
In an instant, the stag was shot into a hedgehog, and its body was densely covered with arrow feathers, so that many of the soldiers who arrived later saw that there was nowhere to shoot their arrows, so they quietly put down their bows and arrows.
Mao Dun slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand with a cold face, and finally spit out a word; "Chop."
As soon as the words fell, the wolf-like soldiers pounced on the ranks, dragging the soldiers who had just not released their arrows off their horses and killing them with their swords. Hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and the whole army was stunned, and the soldiers who had just released the arrows were glad about their choice, while those who did not release the arrows but were not pulled out were terrified.
Maudun saw the fear in the soldier's eyes, and then nodded secretly with satisfaction, this was the effect he needed. In fact, just now the people were mixed, and many people didn't see this scene at all, and there were thousands of people who didn't shoot arrows, of course he couldn't kill them all, otherwise I'm afraid the team would have rebelled a long time ago.
All he wanted was the soldiers' fear of him and obedience to him, and it was clear that his purpose had been achieved. With hundreds of heads falling to the ground, no soldier in the army dared to doubt his orders.
From then on, Maudun became even more crazy! He trained his soldiers, and led them to practice riding and shooting all day long, as well as their unskilled array military methods. Maudun put down the prince's faction, which had always been high, and spent all day with the soldiers, eating the same poor dry food and drinking pungent mare's milk, without a trace of arrogance.
Maudun's various actions gradually made the soldiers retract from it, and his prestige in the army was incomparable. Seeing that the army's heart was available, Mao Dun suddenly shot the Ming Di at his beloved horse one day, and the soldiers around him were stunned, and then habitually opened his bow and shot at the war horse. Some of the soldiers hesitated, and they all looked at Mao Dun in confusion, but they were met with sharp broadswords.
The last time he tested the army's heart, he used his beautiful princess as a test subject, and the princess who came from Manchester City and was rushing to Maudun with joy. Mao Dun hesitated slightly, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he opened his bow and shot at his beautiful wife. His soldiers poured the rain of arrows on the princess's weak body like a gust of wind, almost reflexively, and no one hesitated.
Maudun looked up to the sky and closed his eyes in pain, he knew that he had succeeded, and that no one could resist his chirping no longer.
No one, no one!
Now that the military heart is available, all he is waiting for now is an opportunity.
Soon his opportunity came, the news of the collapse of the Qin Empire in the south spread throughout the grassland, the Qin people who fled from the south told the brutality and invincibility of the anti-Qin coalition army in a frightened voice, in a place called Julu, the entire 200,000 elite northern army that had beaten the Xiongnu was almost wiped out, and the invincible Qin Empire had come to the end of its life.
When the news came, the eyes of the Hun nobles widened and they could not believe this incredible news. In the hearts of the older generation of Huns, the Qin Empire was so powerful and invincible, and their arrogant northern army was the most terrifying killing machine in the world. If such an army would be wiped out, their opponent would only be the legendary demon.
But more and more news came to confirm this statement, and the sudden good news made the Huns ecstatic, and the men drew their scimitars and shouted 'revenge' to the sky. In the city of Manchu, the symbol of the lonely plough was erected, the drums of war were beating all day long, and a wave of black currents were called from all over the world to merge into the army of Touman.
The Xiongnu Dadanyu issued a general mobilization order, and the shame that the Qin people had imposed on them must be washed away with blood.
At Yan Fu's suggestion, Mao Dun was appointed as the vanguard, and his 10,000 iron cavalry were the first to step into the territory of Qin and begin the war of revenge.
Under the onslaught of Maudun, the few garrisons left by the northern army suddenly collapsed, Jiuyuan City was captured, and then the entire Hetao was also taken by Maudun.
In the past, Meng Tian but the Xiongnu collected more than 300 miles of fertile land in the Hetao, so that the Xiongnu lost the land of Longxing, which thrived, so that for decades, the Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and complain. It was precisely because of the loss of the Hetao area that the Xiongnu lost their strategic initiative, and instead became a defense everywhere to prevent the Qin people from going north to capture and plunder, and the Xiongnu men all sang sadly: "Losing my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals do not rest; The loss of my self and the mountains have made my wife colorless.
It can be seen that the Hetao area is strategically important to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu armies of other roads have hit the wall again and again under the stubborn resistance of the northern army.
In the past, when Mao Dun served as the prince of Zuoxian, he was very popular in the royal court, and many princes and generals had pity on him for being deposed for no reason. Touman was already happy in his heart, so he also took the opportunity to order Maudun to lead the army back to the division, and come to Manchester City to receive a rich reward.
After receiving the military order from Touman, Maudun forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and he realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come, so he quickly handed over the defense to his deputy, and he went to receive the reward with an army of 8,000 meritorious soldiers. At this time, the main army of the Xiongnu was hanging on the border of Qin, and there were not too many defending troops in Touman City, and there were many old troops that used to be when he was the king of Zuoxian.
Smart people don't miss a fleeting opportunity, and Maudon is clearly that kind of person.
Mao Dun first led the army to move forward slowly, and after waiting for the news from Wang Chengyanfu, he immediately led the army to the north.
Seeing that Maudun's army had arrived at Touman City so quickly, Touman couldn't help but be a little suspicious. When he saw that Maudon had left his army outside the city, he himself came to meet with only a few dozen guards, and then he was relieved. Haha laughed and greeted him, grabbed Mao Dun, who was about to bow down, pinched his shoulder hard, and laughed loudly; "Come, my son, and show my father."
looked Mao Dun up and down and said with satisfaction; "Yes, I haven't seen you become stronger for two years, this is like my Hun warrior, you must know that you were weak like a woman before."
Mao Dun hurriedly bowed down and said respectfully; "My son doesn't dare to forget the teachings of your father, and after returning to the fiefdom, he will redouble his training, thinking that one day he can go to the battlefield again and make meritorious contributions to my Great Huns."
Touman laughed again, and slapped Maudun's shoulder and laughed loudly; "Yes, yes, you did a good job this time, and you really didn't lose your father's face, I decided to crown you as the king of the day and seal the subordinates of 20,000 people."
Maudun showed a grateful look on his face, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but there was a sneer in his heart; The second king of the day is just a second-rate prince, far from King Zuoxian, not to mention the position of Da Shan Yu. Father, father, do you think that this little favor of yours will make me forget my hatred? Never, you once trampled your son's dignity to the ground like a dog, and from that moment on, I will no longer be grateful for your fertility.
Yan Fu, who had lowered his head and had not spoken all this time, suddenly said with a smile; "Seeing the deep love between father and son, I really envy the old slave. Now is the perfect time for spring hunting, I see that Da Shan Yu and Rici Wang are so interested, why don't you go hunting and play? ”
Tou Man nodded, "Come, my son, let my father see how your riding and archery skills are doing." ”
Maudun smiled and nodded, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked; "Father, why didn't you see your mother and younger brother, my younger brother likes hunting the most, if he doesn't call him, he will be angry with my brother after he knows."
Tou Man saw that Mao Dun and the young son Er Jian had such a close relationship, and immediately smiled with his eyebrows; "Your queen mother is sick now, and she is serving at the bedside for filial piety, and I will let you two brothers get together when you come back from hunting."
As for whether the Yan family is really sick or because he is angry and refuses to see Mao Dun, only Touman himself knows.
An imperceptible look of disappointment flashed in Maudun's eyes, and then his expression returned to normal, and he smiled at the head; "Then the son will ask his father to teach him more archery."
The two of them each left the north gate with dozens of guards, all the way to the north, because it was the time when everything was warm in spring, so the prey was quite rich, and the two of them had a lot of harvest along the way, and Touman was even more interested along the way. It's just that the only regret is that the prey is mostly small beasts, and the big prey has not yet been hunted, so Touman insisted on going all the way north to find bigger prey, and Mao Dun naturally would not ruin his interest.
Finally found a sturdy elk, Touman roared excitedly and outflanked the guards, Zhang Bow was about to shoot, and laughed loudly; "My son, come, how about we shoot Bibi arrows together?"
Mao Dun replied loudly, and then opened his bow to aim at the elk, but it was a Ming Di on the bow, Mao Dun looked at it for a long time, but suddenly the arrow moved, and suddenly pointed to the back of Touman.
The arrow feather in Touman's hand shot out, but he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and then a sharp pain came, and he turned his head and stared at Mao Dun, who was looking pale behind him, and before he could speak, his mouth was shot through the road and rolled under the horse by dozens of arrows that followed.
Mao Dun's face was gloomy and he said sharply; "Kill them all." Then there were bursts of screams, and the unsuspecting Touman soldiers were all killed by Maudun's men. Mao Dun looked at the head man on the ground who stared at him with his eyes open, but there was no joy in his heart, he was silent for a long time, and finally forcibly moved his gaze away, and said silently in his heart; "Father, your unfulfilled wish son will complete it for you, I will definitely lead the Great Huns to get the Central Plains that you have been longing for for a long time, you can go with confidence."
Then he threw his horse's head and yelled; "Go back with me and take the position of Shan Yu."
It was still early, but the drums and trumpets sounded in the city, and the nobles in the city came to the royal court with anxiety. Half an hour ago, Maudun led the army outside the city to suddenly rush into the open city gate, and quickly took over the defense of the city, and the defense from the Touman army was quickly crushed by Maudun's iron cavalry. In less than half an hour, Maudon had completely controlled Touman, and at the same time sounded the horn to gather the ministers.
At the royal court, Mao Dun loudly announced that his father, Tou Mandan, had died suddenly while hunting, and made a will for him to ascend to the throne of Shan Yu. Under the watchful eye of Mao Dun, all the nobles were silent, they were not fools, if they could be deceived by such a simple excuse, then they were not qualified to stand in today's position. Even if Touman dies violently, according to the rules of the Huns, it should be Zuoxian King Fuerjian who inherits the throne, how can it be the turn of Mao Dun, the abolished prince.
It's just that Maudun's guards were looking at them viciously with knives, and everyone kept their mouths shut, not wanting to lose their lives in vain for orphans and widows.
At this time, a one-eyed old man with a white beard stood up, it was the right virtuous king of the Huns, Drati, who grabbed Mao Dun's arm and said loudly; "Maudun, I, Dratti, am willing to be loyal to you, and obey you as the supreme plough of my Great Huns."
After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the soles of Maudun's boots, and used the etiquette of the Huns to express his allegiance to Maudun. Seeing that he had already expressed his position, all the nobles followed suit and knelt at Maudun's feet, and the tense atmosphere in the royal court was suddenly relieved.
Then the pale-faced Yan and Fu Erjian were also escorted up, and the Yan Shi screamed violently as soon as he saw Mao Dun; "Mao Dun, you wolf-hearted brute, you actually killed your own father, Changshengtian will definitely not let you go."
Mao Dun looked at her expressionlessly, a hint of revenge flashed in his eyes, and said; "My father's last wish before the temporary period is to hope that his most beautiful and most beloved youngest son will accompany him underground, come to someone, and send the mother and son on the road."
As soon as he finished speaking, two wolf-like guards rushed up and dragged them down, while Er Jian struggled and cried out loudly; "Big brother, big brother, it's me, I'm Er Kan, your brother, don't kill me, please, don't kill me. You promised me to take me to the desert to watch the sunset, you promised me to take me to climb the Wolf Juxu Mountain, woo, don't kill me, don't kill my mother, I'm your brother Fur. ”
The corners of Mao Dun's eyes twitched slightly, but he forcibly twisted his head, and his voice was extremely cold, "Drag it down." ”
The cries grew farther and farther until no sound could be heard anymore, and the royal court was surprisingly quiet, and everyone held their breath and looked at Maudun. Maudun slowly stepped down from his throne, walked out of the tent, looked up at the sky high above, and suddenly roared loudly, his voice sad, and pierced through the sky.
Immortality!
In my name of immortality,
Mao Dun Da Dan Yu, hereby swears:
I'm going to lead you—
Fly like a falcon over the mountains!
Across the lake!
Catch for you, blue-footed gray-winged crane!
Lead you, like wolves,
Through the green meadows,
Go and loot villages and towns full of grain, piles of silk, and beautiful women!
Let the men of the Qin people be our slaves!
Let their women be our concubines!
Let their fields become our pastures!
Blood-stained dusk, meat fed to the fierce dogs!
My brave Hun is under the heavens
In addition to the immortal heaven,
Only. Dominate!
