Chapter 47: King Hugh Tu
"You! Come out and take your family over there! Li You pointed to the old Qiang man who had first peeled a whole sheepskin and said, and then pointed out the people who had participated in making the sheepskin raft in the past two days, "You, you and you, also choose your own family to stand over there!" ”
These people knew that the time had come to decide their fate, and they didn't dare to disobey Li You's order, so they came out of the crowd with their families and stood on the other side.
"Children, old people, women and children also go over there!" Pick these people out of the crowd again, and now there are only dozens of Qiang people left in the field, such as Dian Liang! These people were the main force that attacked the members of the mission before, and they have been out to help for the past two days! They seemed to realize what Li You was going to do now, and the crowd became noisy.
But these people haven't eaten for almost two days! Even if he wanted to resist, he had no strength, Li You gave an order, and dozens of Han soldiers rushed up and finished off these people like cutting melons and vegetables!
"Anyone who does something wrong will pay the price! If your tribe dares to attack, we should be ready to be exterminated! Li You looked at the remaining Qiang people with staring eyes, "You help us build a raft in the past two days, then I will magnanimously let you live!" ”
Li You looked around, the tents were scattered, the sheep were slaughtered, and these Qiang people were afraid that they would have to join other tribes, so he reminded, "There will be more Han people coming here in the future, I hope you can make a more wise decision at that time!" At that time, those Han people who lead the army may not be as good as me! ”
"Alright, pack up and take your things and go!" After speaking, Li You waved his hand to signal that they could leave! Then he himself boarded the sheepskin raft with the members of the mission.
Untie the rope on the boulder here, and the soldiers under his command pull the rope and slowly cross the river; And there are not many young and strong among the remaining Qiang, even if they are disgruntled, they are powerless to attack!
What's more, there are more important things waiting for them, the young and strong people in the clan are all dead and wounded, and this small tribe is finished! They must pack up and go to their nearest tribe before anyone finds out! When it was certain that the Han Chinese would not return, they began to rummage through the collapsed tents for useful things such as sheepskins, iron tools, and jugs.
And those women also hurriedly picked out the mutton that had not yet rotted, and prepared to make it into jerky, and whether the remaining old and weak women and children could survive or not depended on these!
When Li You arrived on the west bank of the Yellow River, he saw that these people had already packed their things and seemed to be preparing to leave this place with their cattle and horses; He took one last look at these people, waved his hand, and said, "Leave some good sheepskins, and burn the rest!" ”
Almost simultaneously, fires erupted on both sides of the Yellow River, burning sheepskin rafts on one side and burning the bodies of loved ones and bits and pieces that could not be taken away on the other!
The old Qiang man looked at the back of the Han Dynasty mission and said slowly, "Let's go too!" The Qiang people stopped crying and followed him to the neighboring tribes, and the old Qiang people took their grandson in their arms, turned over and turned around and left this place that made him extremely sad, rubbing the top of his grandson's head lovingly, "Child, when you grow up!" If you see these Han people again, don't provoke them."
"Envoy, we have now entered the territory of King Hutu!" After moving forward for several miles, Tangyi's father returned to Li You's side from the front of the team to report.
"Hugh slaughter king?" Li You has communicated with his father in the past few days, and has a preliminary understanding of the official system of the Xiongnu, and the institutions of the Xiongnu regime are divided into three parts: one is Shan Yuting, which is the head of the Xiongnu, and the directly governed area is located in the central part of the Xiongnu, facing Yunzhong and Daijun of the Han Dynasty to the south; The second is the Zuoxian royal court, the jurisdiction area is in the east of the Xiongnu, facing the Handi valley to the south, and the east is connected to the raccoon dog; The third is the Youxian Wangting, located in the west of the Xiongnu, facing the Han County to the south, and connecting Yueshi, Di and Qiang in the west.
Shan Yu is hereditary by the Su Yu clan, and the general power is assisted by the left and right Gudu Marquis, and the Gudu Marquis is served by the nobles Huyan, Lan, and Xubu, Huyan is on the left, and Lan's Xubu is on the right. Shan Yu is the following for the left and right Xian Wang, for the highest local governor, the Xiongnu to the left for the respect, so the power status of the Zuo Xian King is higher than the right Xian Wang, Zuo Xian Wang is Shan Yu deputy prince, so often to the prince for the Zuo Xian Wang. Below the king of Zuoxian is the king of the left and right valleys, and the kings of the left and right valleys are the generals of the left and right, the captains of the left and right, and the big households of the left and right.
Under the account of the left and right Xian Wang, there are left and right generals, left and right Ao Qian kings, left and right Huzhi kings, left and right ministers, left and right bone duhou, left and right Yi rank Zi kings, and danghu are under their own management!
In addition, there are other temporarily divided kings, such as the "Heavenly King" said by the Bank of China, the "King of Jiankun" of Li Ling after Li Guang in the future, and the "King Yu Yu" of Hulu Gushan Yu's younger brother, etc.
In addition, in the military system, in addition to his own personal command of the army, in addition to the battle array, other virtuous kings, Gu Li kings and even the household also have military power, a total of 24 military chiefs who command ten thousand cavalry, called ten thousand cavalry chiefs.
These twenty-four ten thousand cavalry commanders are divided into two kinds, one is the twelve magnates directly under the central single royal court, namely: the left and right virtuous kings, the left and right Gu Li kings, the left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big pawns, and the left and right bone marquis; The other is the king of the wang clan with a different surname and the king of the peripheral vassal states, a total of 12 divisions, namely: the king of Huyan, the king of Xubu, the king of the Lan clan, the king of Kunxi, the king of Xiutu, the king of Donghu, the king of Loufu, the king of Aries, the king of Ding Ling, the king of Jiankun, the king of Hujie, the king of Wusun or Zhelan, a total of twenty-four.
The King of Hutu and the King of Kun Evil belong to the latter type, they belong to the peripheral vassals of the Xiongnu, and Da Dan Yu belong to the same Xiongnu, but they are not under the direct jurisdiction of Da Dan Yu, and have relatively large autonomy in their own territory.
The scale of the tribe controlled by King Xiutu and King Kun is not small or large, about forty or fifty thousand people, and later when Huo Qubing broke through Longxi, King Kun Evil returned to the Han Dynasty, and King Hutu changed his hexagram when he surrendered and was killed by Huo Quzhi, and his prince became the horseman of Emperor Wu of Han.
Just when Li You and his entourage entered the territory of King Hutu, he also received a letter from the Bank of China! King Hutu reclined in the tent, his eyes slightly closed and enjoying the service of the maid, and after a long time he asked, "What did the eggless man say?" ”
Like most traitors in later generations, the Bank of China said that although he was deeply trusted by Dadan, these big nobles of the Huns looked down on him!
"King! The Bank of China said that the letter said that the Han people had sent an envoy to the west to the territory of the Dayue Clan, preparing to contact the Dayue Clan to attack our Great Huns! Now it is estimated that it has reached the territory of the king! He asked the king to send soldiers and horses to intercept the Han mission! "The minister of King Hutu respectfully reported.
