Chapter 180: The Mandate of Heaven is in Han (1)
The loss is so huge, this will raise the tribal warriors, but it is very time-consuming, at least three years can be regarded as wasted.
Mo Huba gasped and asked, "What about the others?" β
"They retreated more slowly, and many people died, and those who rushed out with us in Hexi, I think at least half of them died."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Mo Huba muttered, this is a good thing, if he folds so many warriors, but the Qiang people, the west of the Xianbei River, and the Wuhuan people do not suffer much losses, his tribe will be in danger.
At this time, under the light of the crimson bonfire, Murong Shegui hesitated, and an extra thing came out of his hand and came to Mo Hu's body.
"Great Elder, this is what the Chongxuan Daoist ordered me to hand over to you when he was leaving, I didn't want to hand it over to you, but now I ......" Murong Shegui stepped forward and said.
"Letter?" Mo Hubao looked at the object in Murong Shegui's hand, his heart trembled, and he took it.
Then it was disassembled, and the content of it made the old man's face change suddenly.
"Great Elder, what does this Han man say in the letter he left for you?" Seeing that the Great Elder's face was very ugly, and looking at the letter again, Murong Shegui was infected by the atmosphere and asked.
"Nothing." Quickly putting away the letter, Mo Hubao looked into the distance, his eyes complicated.
Almost at the same time, a troop of soldiers and horses continued to trek in the rain, and the rain crackled down, and the weather in April was still cold, and everyone was drenched in the rain and blown by the night wind, and shivered.
Fortunately, the physique of this world is quite good, otherwise, this rain may be a matter of life and death.
A lightning bolt fell, Liu Bao went up a hill, looked back, only to see that the tens of thousands of troops at the pass were suddenly reduced by more than half, and the sparse ones behind were only followed by a few thousand people, all of whom were exhausted at this time.
Watching the lightning fall, with a bang, Liu Bao suddenly beat his chest: "God...... That's how you treated us Huns? Generations of Huns, killed by the Han people, these are the only things left, and now you are going to take our lives again? β
The Xiongnu also had a mandate of heaven, and before the founding of the Xiongnu, the grasslands of northern China were divided by many clans and tribes of different sizes.
At that time, the situation of tribes and tribal alliances was "sometimes large and sometimes small, and not scattered"; It is "scattered in the valley, since childhood, the army commander, often and more than a hundred people gather, but there is no one".
At that time, it was distributed in the southeast and west of the grassland, the Lamulun River and the Laoha River Basin, which was the Donghu tribal alliance; Distributed in the west and south of Lake Baikal in the Selenga River basin is the Dinling Tribal Union; Distributed in the north and south of Yinshan Mountain, including the south of the Hetao, is the Xiongnu tribal alliance.
In addition, there were tribal groups scattered throughout the steppe, and the later Xiongnu State was established on the basis of the Xiongnu tribal alliance and the conquest of the above-mentioned tribal alliances, tribes and other small countries.
Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Rong people began to threaten the Central Plains Dynasty, and after the Zhou Youwang Fenghuo played the princes, the Dog Rong tribe captured Haojing and forced the Ping King to move east.
During the Warring States Period, Lin Hu and Lou Fu invaded Zhao many times, and Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode to expel Lin Hu and Lou Fu, and set up Yunzhong County in the newly opened area in the north.
At the end of the Warring States Period, Li Muzeng, the general of Zhao State, defeated the Xiongnu, and the Huaxia Dynasty and the Xiongnu Dynasty basically began the process of unification in the same period.
The Xiongnu ruling structure was divided into the central court, the Zuoxian king in the east, and the Youxian king in the west, and controlled a vast area from the Caspian Sea to the Great Wall.
Later, at the end of the Warring States period, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, dispatched 1,300 chariots, 13,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, and 100,000 archers to fight with the Xiongnu, breaking more than 100,000 horsemen of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu did not dare to invade the south for more than ten years.
After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he ordered Meng Tian to lead 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, collect the Hetao, and garrison troops to the county: "But the Xiongnu are more than 700 miles, and the Hu people do not dare to go south and graze horses."
Meng Tian from Yuzhong along the Yellow River to Yinshan to build a city fortress, connecting Qin, Zhao, Yan more than 5,000 miles of the old Great Wall, according to Yangshan to the north, and build a straight road from Jiuyuan in the north to Yunyang in the south, constituting a long defensive line in the north, Meng Tian defended the north for more than ten years, the Xiongnu were afraid of its might, did not dare to commit again, and then the Xiongnu were expelled from the Hetao and the Hexi Corridor area by Meng Tian.
Just as there was a Qin Emperor in China, the Huns also had their own heroes.
Mao Dun was the son of the Xiongnu head Mandanyu; When he was the crown prince, Tou Manshan wanted to establish the son of the favored Yan clan (Xiongnu queen) as the crown prince, and sent Mao Dun to the Yue clan (a nomadic tribe in the Western Regions) as a hostage, and then sent troops to attack the Yue clan.
Yue's was angry and wanted to kill Maodun, but when Maodun heard the news, he stole a good horse and fled back to the Huns; When Tou Manshan saw his bravery, he made him lead ten thousand horsemen.
However, Maudon was already dissatisfied with Tou Mandan, and he trained his troops to be absolutely obedient and loyal to himself in preparation for the coup d'Γ©tat.
He made a kind of arrows called Mingdi, which stipulated: Whoever shoots with Mingdi but does not know how to shoot it will be killed.
When he went out hunting, he shot a chirping di, and any of his followers who did not shoot with the chirping dizzle to the same target were killed; Then, he shot his BMW with a Ming Di, and those who did not dare to shoot on the left and right were also immediately beheaded.
Then, he shot his beloved wife with a Ming Di, and there were still those who did not dare to shoot on the left and right, and they were beheaded again; Later, he shot Mandanyu's BMW with a Ming Di, and no one on the left and right did not shoot.
Mao Dun knew that his subordinates were absolutely loyal to him, and when he went out hunting with his father's head Mandan, Mao Dun shot Tou Man with a Ming Di, and then released arrows on the left and right to shoot Tou Man; Subsequently, Mao Dun killed his stepmother and half-brother, killed all the ministers who dissided, and established himself as the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
After Maudun succeeded to the throne, he began to expand externally; After the defeat of the king of Donghu, he immediately annexed Lou Fu and Baiyang Henan King (the other part of the Xiongnu, south of the Hetao), and recovered the Xiongnu land seized by Meng Tian and the counties of Han Chaona and Fushi.
and plundered Han Zhiyan, Dai and other places; Attacking the Yueshi to the west, Lao Shangdan Yu succeeded to the throne, defeated and killed the king of the Yueshi, forcing the Yueshi to migrate to the Western Regions; The tribes of Ding Ling, Hun Yu, Qu Chu, Qi Kun, and Xin Li in the north and northwest successively submitted to the Xiongnu.
Huaxia and the Xiongnu have entered the most powerful era together, and the two sides will finally decide to be the overlord on this side of the land.
The heyday of the Xiongnu was about 50 years, at that time, the Han Dynasty had Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing to taste the courage and the soldiers and horses, and in the period of Yizhi Xiandan, the national strength of the Xiongnu was hit by the Han army from prosperity to decline.
By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after decades of accumulation, the Han Dynasty greatly enhanced its economy and national strength, and turned from strategic defense to strategic offensive against the Xiongnu, and launched three major wars: the Battle of Henan, the Battle of Hexi, and the Battle of Mobei.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to recover the Henan region; Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo to seize the Hexi Corridor, surrendered 100,000 people to the right of the Xiongnu, and set up four counties of Wuwei, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Zhangye; Then, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led 50,000 cavalry to attack in two ways, Wei Qing defeated Shan Yu, Huo Qubing chased and annihilated more than 70,000 people of Zuo Xianwang, and sealed the wolf Juxu. The two armies annihilated more than 90,000 Xiongnu troops, making them unable to cross the desert and move south for a while.
The period of decline of the Xiongnu from Yizhi Shan Yu to Hu Han Evil Shan Yu, experienced 18 Shan Yu, from the Yuan Ding period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Yuan Shan Yu of the Yuan Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the third year of the Yuan Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Although after several great victories, the Xiongnu Dynasty has also been severely damaged, but the tiger is still not dead.
After the death of Yi Zhixi, the son Wu Wei Li, Wu Wei died, the son Zhan Shi Lu Li, Zhan Shi Lu died, and Ji Father Lihu Li; In these ten years, the Xiongnu took refuge in Mobei to recuperate. The Han Dynasty suffered great losses in manpower and materials, and in order to conquer Korea, Xiqiang and Southwest Yi, it also temporarily stopped using troops against the Xiongnu.
The Han Dynasty united Wuhuan in the east, and sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions twice in the west, contacting Dayueshi, Dawan and other countries to compress the space of the Xiongnu, until the collapse of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty temporarily stopped attacking the Xiongnu.
During the reign of Emperor Zhao, in order to ease the hostile relationship with the Han, the Xiongnu released Su Wu, the Han envoy who had been detained for 19 years, as a show of goodwill.
Then, the Xiongnu turned to attack Wusun in the Western Regions to ask for the princess (that is, the princess of the Western Han Dynasty who married the king of Wusun), Wusun asked the Han for help, and the Han Dynasty organized a five-way army of more than 100,000 horsemen to attack the Xiongnu. Let's do it
The Han Dynasty once again joined forces with more than 200,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu, won a complete victory, and smashed the court of Liwang in the right valley; In the winter of the same year, the Xiongnu dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Wusun to avenge their grievances, but it happened to rain and snow heavily, and less than one-tenth of them survived.
When Ding Ling attacked in the north, Wuhuan entered the east, Wusun hit the west, the Xiongnu was greatly injured, and was forced to migrate westward to rely on the Western Regions, the Western Regions once again became the focus of competition for the two overlords in this land, and the two sides repeatedly fought fiercely for the Che Division, the Xiongnu were in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions, and the new Shan Yu Tuqitang competed for the throne in conflict, and the Xiongnu were forced to give up the Western Regions, and the Han completely controlled the Western Regions, and the strength of the Xiongnu was greatly reduced again.
Due to wars, natural disasters, and the reduction of territory and population, the Xiongnu were in an increasingly difficult situation, and internal disputes began to intensify.
Since Yizhi slanted to the end, the Xiongnu Shan Yu changed frequently, Xulu Quan Qu Shan died, and his wife Zhuqu Yan and his younger brother Du Longqi conspired to establish the right Xian Wang Tu Qitang as Shan Yu; After he took office, he eliminated dissidents, killed all the old people used by the former Dan, and reused his own children, so that there was internal strife, the army was defeated and committed suicide, and after his death, the Xiongnu began a civil war for the throne of Shan Yu.
Then, the king of Guxi in the eastern part of the Xiongnu and others jointly established the Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu Ziji Hou Zha as the Huhan evil Shan Yu, defeated the Shan Yu of Yan Qu, and the Yan Qu Shan committed suicide.
Du Longqi and others jointly established the king of Bo Xu Tang as Tu Qi Shan Yu and defeated Hu Han Evil; At this time, the king of Hujie established himself as Hujie Shan Yu, the right king of Ao Ba established himself as the chariot plough Shan Yu, and the Ukrainian Governor also established himself as the Wu Shan Yu, which was for the five singles in the period of contention.
Tu Qi Shan Yu successively attacked the Ukrainian, the car plow, the Uzbek, the car plough were defeated in the northwest and Hu Jie's joint army, Hu Jie, the Uzbek both went to the title of Shan Yu, and the car plough was Shan Yu, and Tu Qi was defeated.
Hu Han evil took the opportunity to attack, Tu Qi was defeated and committed suicide, Che Li also led his troops to surrender, and soon, Hu Han evil brother Hu Tu Wusi set himself up as Zhi Zhi Shan Yu, living in the east; Tu Qi also established himself as Yan Zhen Shan Yu from his younger brother Xiu Xun.
Subsequently, Yan Zhen led the army to attack Zhizhi in the east, and was defeated and killed; Zhizhi took advantage of the victory to defeat the Huhan evil, according to the Mobei royal court; Hu Han Evil Shan went south to the Han Dynasty to claim his subordinates and annexed it, which was for the Southern Xiongnu.
Later, the Northern Xiongnu Zhizhi Shan Yu led his troops to retreat to Central Asia Kangju, and Hu Han Evil Shan Yu occupied the Mobei royal court.
Later, in order to clear the influence of the Northern Xiongnu in the Western Regions, the Western Regions Du protected Gan Yanshou and the deputy captain Chen Tang went on an expedition against the Northern Xiongnu in Kangju and killed Zhizhi Shan Yu.
Later, the Han Dynasty vassal south called Han Evil Shan to pay tribute to Chang'an, and invited himself as a son-in-law, and Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty gave it to the queen of the palace. , Hu Han Xie named Wang Zhaojun as Ning Hu Yan's clan.
After the death of Hu Hanxie, his descendants followed his will and maintained friendly relations with the Han Dynasty for more than 30 years, until Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.
After Wang Mang established a new dynasty, he claimed back the gold "Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi" awarded by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to his subjects, and issued Wuzhu to leave a single in the "New Xiongnu Shan Yu Zhang", deliberately depressing Shan Yu's political status; The title of "Xiongnu Shan Yu" was changed to "Gong Nu is good at", and then changed to "Slave Surrender"; Wang Mang tried to establish his prestige by force, divided the Xiongnu into 15 residences, and forcibly established 15 descendants of the Huhan evil to be single, so as to weaken the power of the Xiongnu and the war broke out again.
However, soon after, a serious natural disaster occurred in the Xiongnu, and most of the people and animals died of hunger.
The ruling class is once again divided due to the struggle for power; The eight tribes of the Xiongnu jointly established the grandson of the Han evil Shan Yu to chase the king to be a single Yu, and the Punu Shan Yu fought against each other, and the Xiongnu was divided into two again.
In the day after that, more than 40,000 people went south to attach to the Han Dynasty and called the Southern Xiongnu, and settled in the Hetao area of the Han Dynasty, while those who stayed in Mobei were called the Northern Xiongnu.
The Northern Xiongnu who stayed in Mobei suffered serious natural disasters year after year, and were attacked by the Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei.
First, they were afraid of the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and second, they wanted to provoke and destroy the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu; The third wanted to raise his prestige in the Western Regions, and the fourth wanted to exchange the necessary materials with the Eastern Han Dynasty through peace and proximity.
The Han Dynasty did not agree to make peace, but only agreed to the mutual market, while the Northern Xiongnu continued to harass and plunder the eastern Han Dynasty Yuyang to the northern border area of the Hexi corridor.
With the political stability and economic recovery and development of the Han Dynasty, the national strength increased, and the war against the Northern Xiongnu began again.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent Dou Gu and other four-way armies to attack and occupy Yiwulu City.
Han and Hungary launched a battle for the Western Regions, Dou Gu and Geng Gong defeated King Huyan and King Zuoluli, occupied the chariot division, and fought for Jinpu City, because Emperor Ming died, the Central Plains was in drought, and the burden of the dynasty's expedition was too heavy, so the army was temporarily suspended.
In the following ten years, the Northern Xiongnu successively had 73 groups of southern Han people, and the Southern Xiongnu attacked, and the Northern Xiongnu power was greatly weakened; Then, Xianbei stormed the Northern Xiongnu from the east and killed Youliudanyu.
After the death of Youliudan, the Northern Xiongnu were in turmoil, and the locust plague occurred in Mobei, the internal conflicts continued, and the internal crises of the Northern Xiongnu were repeated, taking this opportunity, the Han Dynasty and the subject country of the Southern Xiongnu jointly attacked the Northern Xiongnu.
Beginning in the summer and June of the first year of Yongyuan, Dou Xian and Geng Bing led the army to meet with the Southern Xiongnu army in Zhuoye Mountain, and Beidan Yu fought in Jiluo Mountain, Beidan fled in defeat, the Han army pursued, captured and killed more than 13,000 people, and more than 200,000 people in the Northern Xiongnu were attached.
Dou Xian and Geng Bingdeng Yanran Mountain carved stone Jigong and returned (Yanran Legong), and then attacked the Northern Xiongnu, Beidan Yu was injured and fled; The Han army attacked Jinweishan again and defeated the Northern Xiongnu army, and Beidan Yu was forced to move west, leading the remnants to flee west to Wusun and Kangju.
In the same year, more than 200,000 people in the fifteenth department of the fifteenth department rebelled, coerced the former single in Tuntu He's son Ao Yan Ri to chase the king and the marquis for the single Yu, the Xiongnu split again, the Han Dynasty sent a large army and a total of 40,000 soldiers of the subject country to defeat the marquis, the marquis then led the crowd out of the fortress, the Han army could not catch up, and then, the marquis was defeated by Xianbei, led more than 100 people to take refuge in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After the defeat of Beidanyu, he led the remnants to flee west to the Wusun Kingdom in the Yili River Valley, and after gaining a foothold, he still haunted the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and plundered.
The Northern Xiongnu captured Yiwu and killed the Han general Suoban; In order to deal with the Northern Xiongnu in the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty appointed Ban Yong as the chief historian of the Western Regions, and Ban Yong defeated the Northern Xiongnu twice, and the situation in the Western Regions began to stabilize.
After Ban Yong's resignation, the Northern Xiongnu forces re-emerged, the Han general Pei Cen led the army to kill the Northern Xiongnu Huyan King Yu Balikun, and then, the Han general Sima Da led the Han army to attack Pu Shihai and defeated the new Huyan King of the Northern Xiongnu, and the Huyan King led the Northern Xiongnu to retreat westward.
At this point, the Xiongnu Dynasty has basically been declared extinct, and only a Southern Xiongnu who are dependent on the Han Dynasty remains.
The Southern Xiongnu, who were attached to the Han Dynasty, were placed in the Hetao area by the Han Dynasty; With the military strength of the Han Dynasty, he defeated the Northern Xiongnu many times, accepted a large number of descendants, and greatly increased his power.
However, due to the complex composition of the tribe, it is difficult to control and control, resulting in internal inhibition, sometimes rebellions, and many Nandanyu were killed.
Later, the Han Dynasty's management of the Southern Xiongnu became more and more strict, and Nandan Yu was even arrested, replaced, forced to death, or even killed by Han officials.
If this continued, the Southern Xiongnu would gradually perish, but the Han Dynasty suffered another calamity; At the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, there was internal strife among the Southern Xiongnu, and the countrymen killed Shan Yu Qiangqu, and the son Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo ascended the throne.
The participants were afraid of retaliation and did not recognize the new Shan Yu, so they set up another Shan Yu, and Yu Fuluo had to go to the Han Dynasty to appeal for help; It was the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, so he had to stay in Hedong.
Then, the Southern Xiongnu participated in the melee in the Central Plains, Cai Yong's daughter Cai Wenji was captured and plundered to the Xiongnu, and later, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu was attached to Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Cai Wenji returned to the Han.
Later, Cao Cao detained Huchuquan Shan Yu, and sent the Right Xian King to the Beijian State, and divided the Southern Xiongnu into five divisions and placed them in Pingyang County, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu Dynasty also ended.
During the Three Kingdoms War, Cao Cao divided the Xiongnu into five departments, namely left, right, south, north, and middle, and placed them in the Yong, and, and Hebei areas; The nobles of each department were handsome, and later renamed as captains; With the Han as the Sima to supervise; Yu Fu Luozi Liu Bao is the left handsome.
At this time, the Central Plains Dynasty was unable to unify for a long time, the Three Kingdoms were at war, and when the Great Wei Dynasty was in power, it was still able to suppress the Northern Yi tribes such as the Southern Xiongnu.
Liu Bao entrenched in the state, his power has grown greatly, he has lived long enough, and his prestige is also rising, coupled with the reliance of the Sima family, he even has the prestige of the co-lord of all the tribes, which makes him have the ambition of reviving the Xiongnu, how strong the Xiongnu Dynasty was back then, and now the Central Plains is weak, he feels that he is already in the destiny.
As the Wei Dynasty became the Jin Dynasty, he gained more powers, and became the Taishou of Taiyuan County, and the counties in the north of the state were indirectly controlled by him, and those tribes on the grassland were not taken into his eyes now, and he felt that it was the right time to establish the Xiongnu Dynasty again.
However, the Han Dynasty is back!
