Chapter 720: Sacrifice to the Heavenly Gold Man and Da Shan Yu

"It's all over."

Xiao Siwen and Yelu Hugo were released from the house arrest of the Huns, and witnessed that 200,000 Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry were left because of the war, and only more than 100,000 remained.

A group of Khitan cavalry arrived, and one of the Khitan generals turned over and dismounted.

"You're still alive!"

Jeruhon leaned over and gave Jeruxiugo a thick hug.

The two remaining commanders of the Liao State joined forces again at this time.

"Since you are here, then Yanyan must also be here."

Xiao Siwen found out that Yelu Xianzhen also participated in this battle, and Xiao Sui should also come to Wolf Juxu Mountain.

"Daddy."

A woman dismounts and meets her father.

"Yanyan, ...... are you?"

Xiao Siwen found that his daughter had changed into the armor of a Han Empire general.

"There is no way to do this, if we Khitan tribe want to survive, we must make some sacrifices, and this sacrifice is the price we pay in exchange for the survival of the tribe."

Xiao Xuan's eyes were very determined.

The population of the Khitan tribe was defeated many times, and none of them survived, or they were exiled to other tribes and became slaves.

If you want to keep the last bit of the Khitan tribe, as Xiao Sui said, you need to pay a certain price, and this price may even be Xiao Xuan herself.

"What do you mean......" Knowing that the daughter is like her father, Xiao Siwen quickly understood what Xiao Xuan meant, "You can act according to yourself, but you don't have to have any psychological burden, the Khitan tribe is gone." ”

Xiao Siwen has experienced so many major events in a short period of time, and witnessed the collapse of the Mongol Empire, the Liao State, and the Xiongnu one after another, and he no longer cares so much about the survival of the Khitan tribe.

"Dad, do you want to see His Royal Highness King Xia?"

Xiao Sui knew that Xiao Siwen was currently in the Khitan tribe and was one of the few surviving Khitan ministers, and he could also gain a foothold.

"It's time to see him, too, or I won't be at ease handing over my daughter to him."

Xiao Siwen has no objection to the special marriage, which may be a good thing for the Xiao family.

Xiao Siwen followed Brother Yelu Xiu to see Chu Tian.

Chutian was leading his troops to clean up the battlefield, and the number of captured Hun cavalry and Xianbei cavalry was countless, and many of them were herdsmen who were forcibly conscripted.

"This is a special item seized from Maudun's guards, I don't know what it is."

When Chu Tian's cavalry was cleaning the battlefield, they found a strange prop.

It is a statue of a Hun forged in gold, only the size of a palm.

Chu Tianyi grabbed the golden man and checked its attributes.

[Name]: ????

[Civilization]: Xiongnu

[Grade]:??

[Effect]: ???

"Huh?"

It was the first time that Chu Tian had obtained a prop that was completely impossible to view.

"Could it be that this kind of prop still needs identification skills? Or is it just an ordinary piece of gold, without any special features? ”

If it is just an ordinary gold statue, although it is worth a lot of money to ordinary people, for Chu Tian, who has an army of millions, a piece of gold is a drop in the bucket, and the value is not high.

Chutian's annual military salary is calculated according to tens of millions of silver.

Joan of Arc leaned over and blinked curiously: "Lord, what the hell is this?" ”

"It should be a treasure."

Chu Tian carefully weighed the golden man, he didn't believe that the important props that Mao Dun brought with him were just an ordinary golden statue.

When Sun Bin arrived at the battlefield, he heard that Chutian had obtained a special golden man, and immediately came to check it, and finally said slowly: "This is the golden man used by the Huns to worship the sky, which can bless the prairie with good wind and rain, and abundant water and grass in the coming year." ”

"It turned out to be a person who sacrificed to the heavens."

Chu Tian had heard of this special prop, but in fact, this prop was not completely fictional, but had a historical origin.

Longcheng is the holy land of the Huns, the Huns worship the sky in the local area, and the gold people are the core props of the Huns when they worship the sky.

When Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, he once captured the sacred relics of the Huns.

"Does the military advisor have the ability to identify this golden man?"

Chu Tian saw Sun Bin and recognized at a glance that this was the Xiongnu's Heavenly Gold Man, and thought that Sun Bin had the skills to identify special props.

"Absolutely."

Sun Bin waved his robe, and Chu Tian could already see the effect of the special prop of "Sacrifice to the Heavenly Golden Man".

[Name]: Sacrifice to the heavenly gold man

[Civilization]: Xiongnu

[Rank]: Emperor-level special items

[Effect]: 1. Those who hold props can hold a ceremony to worship the sky in Dragon City every year, and can obtain a one-year official effect of "Da Dan Yu"; 2. The results of the ritual of worshipping the heavens are divided into three states: big auspicious, small auspicious, and natural disaster, which lasts for one year.

Daji status (20% chance), +25% improvement in grassland aquatic grass growth conditions, -25% chance of snow plague and plague, +5% chance of appearance of excellent war horses, +20 popularity of grassland tribes.

Small Ji status (60% chance), +15% improvement in grassland aquatic grass growth conditions, -15% chance of snow plague and plague, +2% chance of appearance of excellent war horses, +10 popularity of grassland tribes.

Natural disaster status (20% chance), -15% improvement in the growth conditions of grassland aquatic grasses, +15% chance of snow disaster and plague, +2% mortality rate of war horses, cattle and sheep, and -10 popular hearts of grassland tribes.

"Da Shan Yu" effect - a special official position, the honorific title of the Hun monarch, but it does not have to be a Hun to hold it, in fact, the emperor of the steppe.

During the period of serving as the Great Danyu, the hearts of the people of each tribe of the steppe are +15, the loyalty of the steppe legion is +15%, the cavalry damage is +5%, the marching speed is +3%, and the economic, political, and military development speed of the steppe is +5%.

"No wonder Mao Dun can command the various tribes on the grassland, the Hun cavalry and Xianbei cavalry are quite fierce in battle, and they also have a certain loyalty, and it is easy to surrender after Mao Dun dies, which is related to his identity as a big Dan Yu. If I have the effect of Da Danyu, the ability of the steppe cavalry such as the cowardly Xue army and the Mongolian cavalry will be slightly improved......"

When Chu Tian saw the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, he could also obtain the official position of "Da Shan Yu" that Mao Dun brought with him.

At present, Chutian's official position is the general and Yanzhou pastor, and if the ceremony of worshipping the heavens is held, he will be given a temporary official position of "Da Shan Yu".

At that time, Chu Tian would be the general of the Han Empire, the pastor of Yanzhou, and concurrently the great Dan Yu.

Da Dan is the official position of the nomadic civilization, and having this official position is the basis for ruling the steppe.

In this way, this special prop "Sacrifice to the Heavenly Golden Man" seems to be just a piece of gold, but its practical value is quite amazing, and it is the most valuable holy object of the Xiongnu civilization.

Rituals have a 20% chance of failing.

However, the probability of success is 80%, which is enough.

The Jin people can only guarantee that the prairie will be smooth for four-fifths of the time.

"After returning to Longcheng, I will immediately arrange a ceremony to worship the heavens, and I will become a big Danyu to stabilize the hearts of the people of the various tribes in the grassland."

The first thing that Chu Tian thought of when he got the Heavenly Golden Man was to ascend the throne and become Da Dan Yu, so that he could gain the legitimacy to rule the grassland.

Maodun's status in the grassland is equivalent to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and the two of them can talk to each other on an equal footing.

Da Shan Yu's position is the same level as that of the emperor of the Han Empire.

Therefore, many kingdoms established by nomadic civilizations have to claim to be big and win people's hearts.

Of course, this is in the eyes of the Huns or other nomadic tribes, the status of Da Danyu.

In the eyes of the princes of the Han Empire, the position of the Han Emperor was still higher than that of Dadan.

"In this battle, Qin Liangyu made the greatest meritorious ......"

Chu Tian counted the exploits of various generals, among which Qin Liangyu ranked first by killing Mao Dunshan Yu, killing tens of thousands of Northern Hun cavalry, and capturing tens of thousands of Southern Hun cavalry.

In particular, the credit for capturing the cavalry of the Southern Huns is the military exploits given to Qin Liangyu by Yu Fuluo.

For Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, Chu Tian couldn't cry or laugh, the two Hun leaders were two soft bones, and they didn't have the ruthlessness to die rather than surrender.

Mao Dun was indeed fierce, and his cavalry also caused a lot of losses to Chu Tian.

As descendants, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan did not have much nostalgia for the grassland after they attached themselves to the Han Empire.

"According to what was said before the start of the war, the reward for killing the Maudun is 10,000 taels of silver."

Chu Tian fulfilled his promise and asked people to prepare 10,000 taels of silver for Qin Liangyu as a guest general.

The head of Maudun is indeed worth 10,000 taels of silver.

Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and the others all had a chance, but if Mao Dun didn't break through in their direction, they could only stare dryly.

"10,000 taels of silver, will it be too much......"

Qin Liangyu only came to the north once in a while, because there were no princes in the Southern Barbarian region who were willing to interfere, so he had nothing to do, and as a result, he obtained 10,000 taels of silver on a trip to the north.

"Take it as my support for the Nanban region."

Chu Tian originally thought that this 10,000 taels of silver would be obtained by his subordinates, so Chu Tian was very generous at the beginning, and it was not good to break his promise.

The higher the status, the more attention is paid to a promise, otherwise it will be a big disappointment.

10,000 taels, which was used by Chutian to win over the generals in the Nanban region, can be regarded as recovering a little capital.

Qin Liangyu will bring Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan: "These two people, please deal with them with His Royal Highness King Xia." ”

Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan were pale and sweaty, and knelt in front of Chu Tian: "Mao Dun held us hostage to rebel, we can't refuse ......"

"In the name of Da Shan Yu, I will abolish the identity of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, and from now on, the nobles of the Southern Xiongnu must be appointed by the Xia Palace."

Chu Tian was actually dissatisfied with the matter of Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan.

In fact, this is a historical problem left by the Han Empire's acceptance of the Southern Xiongnu after the Xiongnu Empire was divided into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu.

The Han Empire's control over the Southern Xiongnu was not strong, leaving a hidden danger for the Wuhu Rebellion.

At present, the Southern Xiongnu still has its own hierarchy, Yu Fuluo is the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, the successor of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, the Han Empire can intervene, but the intervention is still not big enough, the vast majority of the Xiongnu nobles are still the internal decision of the Southern Xiongnu.

This time, with the betrayal of the Southern Xiongnu, Chutian gained more political capital and obtained the right to appoint and dismiss the middle and high-level of the Southern Xiongnu.

"The Southern Xiongnu royal court was abolished, and the Southern Xiongnu were divided into fifteen banners and scattered to live. For each flag, a town is set up, and every five flags are set up a county. Migration is not allowed without permission. Each banner has a special official to collect taxes, raise war horses, recruit soldiers, and the officials are dispatched by the Xia Wangfu, accounting for at least seventy percent. ”

Chutian forcibly disbanded the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu and split the Southern Xiongnu into three counties and fifteen banners, which were scattered throughout the grassland to fill the population.

The agricultural population is reluctant to live on the grassland, and the environmental carrying capacity of the grassland is weak, and if the grassland is cultivated at will, the soil fertility of the grassland will be quickly lost.

Therefore, the grasslands are still mainly developed for animal husbandry, and no one is more suitable for grazing than nomadic tribes.

The biggest threat to the nomadic tribes was their uncertain whereabouts, and Chutian made the Huns settle down, supervise, and develop animal husbandry and horse politics in the steppe.

In the future, Chutian will need a large number of war horses.

The Mongols marched westward, one person had more horses, and Chutian also had to prepare for the future.

If an army of 500,000 marches westward, with an average of four horses per person, then two million war horses will be needed.

Every year, war horses will die due to disease, war, and cold winter, and at least hundreds of thousands of war horses must be produced every year to make up for the losses.

The Mongols and Huns all breed horses, have the life skills of raising horses, and the cost is very low, and there is no need to send farmers from inside the customs to raise horses outside the customs.

Even if this generation does not work, it is necessary to be fully prepared for the next generation's westward expedition.

Chu Tian had already made his own little calculations.
