Chapter 0408 Target! Ma Yi !!
Meanwhile, Cloudsdale, the southern suburbs.
Looking at the king's tent, the heads of the various tribes who were happy were all over their faces, and there was only a surging smile on their faces.
Cloudsdale is not a new city that has only existed in recent decades;
As early as nearly a hundred years ago, when the grassland was still the world of the Donghu people, and the Central Plains was still in the Warring States period when various countries were attacking each other, Cloud City had become a thorn in the hearts of the grassland nomads!
He clearly remembered that when he was still riding on the back of a sheep, his father once told him: In the clouds, it is the eternal thorn and pain in the hearts of the people of the grassland!
Especially back then, after the Zhao people named Li Mu took this Yunzhong City as the center and stretched out the 'Yunzhong County' for hundreds of miles around, the status of Yunzhong in the hearts of the grassland people has never declined too much.
It's a pity that the grassland people at that time were still very weak;
A Zhao State that does not even unify the Central Plains can press the entire grassland to the ground and rub it.
Once upon a time, there was even a Yan country that made people gnash their teeth, and whenever its southern territory was taken away by the Central Plains, it would open up to the north!
Yannan lost 100 miles of land and expanded to the north for thousands of miles;
Yannan lost 200 miles of land and expanded thousands of miles to the north!
I remember: The Yan people who couldn't beat the Central Plains people, so they took the grassland people out of anger, called Qin Kai······
Later, the State of Zhao perished, and so did the Kingdom of Yan.
But the life of the steppe people did not get better because of the demise of these two Central Plains countries.
- Because the destruction of Zhao State, Yan State, and all the Central Plains countries was a powerful country called 'Qin'!
Then, this country called 'Qin' produced a person named Meng Tian.
After that, there are the steppe peoples, who have been plunged into a dark life that has lasted for decades; That black dragon flag has become a terrifying existence that every grassland person does not dare to look at directly.
Until today;
Until this moment, when the Xiongnu Zuoxian King was in a state of porridge, allowing tens of thousands of elite knights under his command to loot wantonly in Yunzhong City, and he was sitting leisurely in the king's tent in the southern suburbs of Yunzhong City, the myth of 'Yunzhong' was finally broken by the grassland people.
But the ambition of the porridge does not stop there······
"Tu Lu!"
"The affluence of Cloudsdale is really eye-opening!"
While he was thinking about it, a rough voice came into his ears, and finally pulled his thoughts back to his eyes;
I saw a Hun nobleman with a heavy body, scars on his cheeks, and copper rings on his nose and mouth, and he stepped forward with a happy expression.
"In just one day, I brought a thousand horsemen and looted more than 4,000 Han slaves!"
"As for the other belongings, they are even more innumerable, and the warriors are still worried, how to bring them back to the grassland!"
"With these gains, when Tu Hao returns to Shan Yuting, even if King Youxian is no longer convinced, he can only kneel on the ground reverently and kiss Tu Hao's toes?"
Between the nobleman's words, there was a hearty laughter in the huge royal tent;
Everyone's face is hung with a happy smile that has never been seen before.
This is the truest portrayal of the grassland people.
When fighting, they are not afraid of death and rush to be the first;
In the tribe, they are good at singing and dancing, and are approachable.
And after the war, when they get enough loot, their faces will appear simple and honest.
As for the words of the nobleman of Fang Cai, it also revealed a lot of unique systems of the Xiongnu.
For example, the nobles shouted that the porridge was 'Tu Luxury', which was the honorific title of the Xiongnu for the left and right virtuous kings, and the full name should be: Zuo Tu Luxury, Right Tu Luxury.
This is like in the Han Dynasty, no one will call Liu Ying 'emperor' and 'son of heaven': in the Xiongnu, no one will call Liu Ying 'Shan Yu', but call him a plough and a lonely tu;
No one called the porridge 'Zuo Xian Wang', but called Zuo Tu Lu, or like the nobleman just now, it was directly referred to as: Tu Lu.
Tu Hao, in the Xiongnu language, refers to the meaning of sages and sages, which is basically synonymous with 'virtuous king';
As for the difference between the left and the right, it is necessary to talk about what the Xiongnu have, which is completely different from the inheritance system of the Chinese nation.
The Left Virtuous King and the Right Virtuous King have no distinction between high and low status, and they are both in equal status as the heirs of the Great Throne;
In other words, what the Xiongnu practiced was not the 'single prince' system that the Chinese people were accustomed to, but the 'double prince' system with great grassland characteristics and the law of the jungle.
Among them, King Zuo Xian is the most capable son of the current Shan Yu;
The right virtuous king is served by the most outstanding brother and uncle of the current Shan Yu.
Under this 'double prince' inheritance system, the inheritance of the big position alone is almost entirely based on the law of the jungle of the jungle as the final judgment standard.
——Zuo Xianwang, is Shan Yu's most 'promising' son, so how to judge who is the most promising?
Answer: The one with the strongest personal force, the greatest tribal power, and the most prestigious in the grassland!
After Shan Yu died, who should inherit Shan Yu's throne among the two princes of the left and right Xianwang?
The answer is still the same: whoever can defeat the other side is qualified to sit on the throne.
To put it bluntly, the Chinese nation has pursued the primogeniture inheritance system for thousands of years, or there are descendants and no heirs, or even the inheritance rules such as the death of the father and the succession of the son, the death of the brother and the brother, and there is no market in the grassland.
The only thing that the grassland people believe in is the primitive law of the jungle in which the winner is king and the loser is the villain.
As long as you are strong enough, then even if you are not eligible to inherit, then you can get the allegiance of many people;
On the contrary, as long as you are not strong enough, then even if you are single before you die, and repeatedly instruct 'after I die, xx will do the order', the grassland people will definitely not buy it.
This is naturally related to the backward system of the nomadic civilization of the grassland, but the most important thing is the harsh environment of the grassland.
- The harsh living environment makes it difficult for the steppe nomads to entrust their lives to a leader who is not strong enough;
My Healing Game
In order to continue the bloodline inheritance and ensure their survival, the grassland people can only follow the call of instinct and choose the most powerful person as their leader.
In the grasslands, the definition of 'powerful' is often force, power, and wisdom above the level.
Obviously, in the king's tent at this moment, the 'power' of the porridge has been affirmed by the vast majority of people.
Compared with the uncle who was also born in the 'Su Yu clan', the Ji Ji porridge has more wisdom and a broad vision that the grassland people rarely have······
"Cloudsdale, you can't stay any longer."
With a low word, there was a sudden silence in the noisy king's tent, and after a few moments, all the leaders nodded their heads with stern faces.
For the leaders of the various tribes present, this battle against the clouds was too easy;
In particular, the result of 'Breaking Through the Clouds' was completely beyond everyone's expectations!
But even so, everyone knows very well in their hearts: the city of the Han people is definitely not a 'place to stay for a long time'.
Just like in the grassland, the fertile pasture is always owned by the powerful - the city of the Han people will always be the most untouchable hedgehog!
This time, under the leadership of the various departments of the southern part of the country, the city in the clouds that was accidentally broken through was naturally overjoyed by everyone;
But everyone knew that the large army of the Han people was about to arrive.
If you don't leave, you are likely to be blocked in Yunzhong City by the Han infantry phalanx.
Of course, the most important thing is that after such a hearty 'feast', the status of the porridge in the minds of the heads of the various departments in the south of the country has reached an unprecedented peak.
- For the grassland peoples, 'if you have milk, you are a mother', which is almost enough to summarize the vast majority of the rules of survival;
And a leader who can lead his subordinates to loot the Han city, and even like this time, can completely loot the Cloud City without much effort, in a short period of time, it is completely possible to form a majesty no less than that of himself!
"Tu Hao, give the order!"
"As long as Tu Hao gives the order, the two thousand horsemen of my Aries Department will immediately follow Tu Hao and withdraw from Cloud City!"
After the nobleman who spoke first stood up, everyone also rushed to stand up, expressing the attitude of 'as long as Tu Yu gives the order, we will retreat immediately'.
And 10,000 cavalry is another very distinctive unit in the Xiongnu army system.
10,000 cavalry, as the name suggests: a cavalry formation consisting of 10,000 people;
But in fact, under the military system of the Huns, only Shan Yuting's troops can reach the full strength of 10,000 cavalry, that is, 10,000 people are a '10,000 cavalry'!
When it comes to the 'Zhulu clan' clans such as the Zuoxian Wang's Zhuo Ji Porridge and the Right Xian Wang's Zhuo Ga, that is, the Xiongnu army, they only have the qualification of 8,000 people as a '10,000 horsemen';
Further down, to the tribes of Baiyang and Lou Fu, which originally did not belong to the Huns, but later surrendered voluntarily and were willing to become the Huns, it was a 'ten thousand horsemen' with 6,000 people.
The worst were those slave tribes who did not belong to the Xiongnu headquarters and did not surrender voluntarily, but were surrendered after the war, with 4,000 people as a '10,000 horsemen'.
At this moment, the leaders of the tribes gathered in the tent of the king of the porridge are basically the third situation, that is, the foreign tribes who did not belong to the Xiongnu headquarters and later surrendered on their own initiative;
So one thousand horsemen of these tribes is actually only six thousand.
After a short moment of 'expression', the composition of the people in the clouds that went south this time was basically displayed in the king's tent.
- Zuo Xian Wang Ji Ji porridge, with Zuo Xian Wang 20,000 horsemen, 8,000 each, a total of 16,000 people;
The Aries tribe had two thousand horsemen, each with six thousand men, for a total of twelve thousand men.
In addition, there are 10,000 riders each in the Loufu Department, the Zhilan Department, and the Jinshan Department, with a total of 18,000 people.
In addition, there were ten thousand horsemen of six slave tribes, a total of twenty-four thousand.
Together, this time to the south, the porridge brought a full 70,000 people!
And among these 70,000 people, except for the 24,000 slave soldiers, the rest of the 46,000 are all elite cavalry with one man and three horses, and skilled archers and horses!
In particular, the two 10,000 cavalry of the headquarters of the Porridge are even more elite troops with all-bronze weapons and equipment!
With such a quantity and quality of troops in their hands, breaking through the clouds at the cost of almost zero casualties, for the steppe peoples, it was already a lot of money;
No matter who you are, at this moment, you will inevitably accept it as soon as you meet it, and return to the grassland the same way with the loot looted from Cloud City, especially the tens of thousands of Han slaves, with a beautiful vision for the next few years.
But it's a pity that this time it's not someone else.
It is the Xiongnu male lord, who has the prestige of 'killing gods in the world' in the grassland, and the designated heir of Mao Dun Shan Yu;
In the original history, the king of Zuoxian, who had the reputation of 'Lao Shangji Porridge Shan Yu'······
"I heard that the Han troops did not come into the clouds;"
said a word leisurely, and saw that everyone in the tent was stunned in unison, and on the indifferent faces, he couldn't help but put a dangerous smile on his face.
"The Han people have all gone to Mayi."
"This shows that the Han people dare not come to the clouds, but only dare to stay in Mayi."
"The Han people are afraid of my warriors of the Great Huns, and they will continue to go south······"
In an inexplicable and relaxed tone, he said the information he had just received, and he looked at everyone's gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little playful.
"Everyone, you are all warriors who are praised in the grassland;"
"In particular, the three tribes of Aries, Zhelan, and Lou Fu have just been praised as the 'troika of Shan Yuting' by Zhu Ligutu, and many slaves have been given to these three tribes."
"Now, we have broken through the clouds, but the Han people don't dare to have the idea of regaining the clouds, so they can only retreat in Mayi City, looking at the north in fear."
"Are we going to go back to the grassland like this?"
"—Is it for the sake of these possessions, slaves, and a mere cloud city?"
With the low tone of the porridge, the faces of everyone in the tent couldn't help but be a little tangled.
Why go south?
For these clan leaders, of course, it is to rob the wealth, the population, and then use it to strengthen the clan!
But Cloud City, just a few days ago, was broken by the porridge and everyone present.
At this time, he said no to the proposal to 'continue south'······
"Tu Luxu's will!"
While everyone was struggling, the nobleman who spoke first, the king of Aries, stood up and resolutely knelt down on one knee at the feet of the porridge;
After a short silence, the rest of the people also knelt on the ground and offered all their loyal ministers to the Xiongnu Zuoxian King and the Sulu clan in front of them.
"Tu Lu's will!
! ”
looked at the heads of the various departments kneeling in front of him, but there was no expression of enjoyment on his faces.
Seeing that he had thought for a moment, he slowly got up from the throne of animal skins, raised his hand slightly, and motioned for everyone to get up;
A short moment later, a chilling coldness surged up above the indifferent face of the porridge.
"Pass the order!"
"Leave a 10,000-strong cavalry of the White Aries Department to patrol around the clouds for thirty miles, and you must not enter the cloud city again!"
"The rest of the departments, immediately end the looting and start to reorganize the army!"
"Tomorrow at sunset, the whole army will go!"
"-Goal!"
"—Ma Yi!
! ”
