Chapter 424: The Cook, the Maiden, and Attila
Who are you? Where did it come from? Where are you going?
This group of Huns was violent, and as soon as they met, they asked three questions about their souls, which made the three hundred young soldiers a little nervous.
Yang Chuan looked arrogant, just looked at the white-haired Hun coldly, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked Sister Leopard's soft hair.
Those Huns had actually discovered Sister Leopard a long time ago, and many people had a trace of inexplicable fanaticism and awe in their eyes, which made Yang Chuan satisfied and vigilant at the same time.
"Who are you?" The old Hun asked again.
Yang Chuan didn't look at him squarely, but tilted his face slightly, looked at the beautiful Rouge Mountain, and asked casually, "Which tribe are you from?" What about the Evil King? Where is he now? ”
The faces of the Huns changed slightly, and they looked at each other.
"You ...... Who the hell is it? The momentum of the old Huns weakened, and his face was cloudy, "We are the White Wolf Tribe......"
Yang Chuan asked coldly: "What about the Evil King?" ”
The old Hun hesitated for two or three breaths, and said: "There is a Han Dynasty cavalry that went deep alone, killed many of our warriors, destroyed many of our tribes, and plundered many of our cattle, sheep, livestock, and horses. ”
Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and secretly said in his heart that he was lucky.
As soon as they came, they heard the news of Huo Quai's illness, and it seemed that their results in this area were good, and they all attracted the main force of the Evil King of Huns.
"We're from the Big Snow Mountains."
Yang Chuan's gaze softened slightly, but between his expressions, there was still a kind of condescending indifference to these Huns: "I heard that Da Shan Yu Yizhi and Youxian Wang are not in agreement, and they don't deal with each other, which is not good."
The Han Dynasty army has fought deep in the grassland, why are you so stupid to fight your own people?
If it's enough to just count against each other, why bother the tribes and herders who are not at fault? By the way, and those innocent cattle, sheep, livestock and horses, why poison them?
Immediately send a message to the Evil King, and ask him to come to me quickly.
I would like to ask to my face why he attacked those innocent tribes and poisoned so many grassland people, cattle and sheep and livestock. ”
The faces of the Huns changed drastically, and they began to talk to each other and whisper.
It seems that the doubts about the 'young people in Chinese costumes' in front of them have not been completely lifted, but from the eyes they cast, Yang Chuan felt that most of their hostility was less, and the rest was mainly doubtful.
"You're really from the Great Snow Mountain?" Someone asked.
Yang Chuan nodded and looked at the old Hun noncommittally: "You are the head of this tribe?" ”
The old Hun stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly on horseback: "My name is Ala Khan, I am the head of the White Wolf Tribe, and I have seen distinguished guests. ”
Yang Chuan waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, it's important to hurry up, you immediately send a message to the Evil King and ask him to come to see me quickly."
Also, this messenger is pursuing a great evil matter.
Someone poisoned the old and weak women and children of more than forty tribes, and all the cattle, sheep, livestock, and horses, and the king of the snowy mountain was very angry, and asked the head of the Alakhan to send a detachment of men and horses to cooperate with us in tracking down the great wicked man. ”
As soon as the words fell, the faces of those Huns changed suddenly.
"Forty or so tribes have been poisoned by someone?"
"It can't be done by the Han Dynasty, right?"
"Damn, damn it......"
“……”
The leader of the White Wolf Tribe, Ala Khan, hesitated for a few breaths and muttered a few words to a person beside him, but he ordered that person to send a message to the Evil King.
"The Venerable Envoy of the Great Snow Mountain, I didn't know my identity before, I offended the Messenger, and I ask for forgiveness."
Alakhan turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted: "Please come to the tent to speak, please drink a bowl of mare's milk wine from the White Wolf Tribe, and taste our fat lambs." ”
Regarding Ala Khan's invitation, Yang Chuan was noncommittal, but pointed to Rouge Mountain not far away with a horsewhip, and said: "The king of the snow mountain doesn't like the breath of the world, please send some people to set up a few tents on Rouge Mountain." ”
Alahan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shouted a few times, and immediately dozens of horses left, probably to prepare the tent.
"Honorable envoy, earlier you said that Da Dan Yu Yi Zhi is not compatible with the Right Sage King...... What does that mean exactly? ”
It's been a long time since this brain circuit was okay, and Alakhan remembered to ask about it.
It seems that the sudden appearance of Yang Chuan and his party made these Huns a little dazed......
Yang Chuan waved his hand and frowned: "Da Shan Yu Yi Zhi Xian killed his own brother and took the position of Da Shan Yu, Youxian Wang is an upright person, he is not used to Yi Zhi Xian's approach, and he has expressed his dissatisfaction with Yi Zhi Xian several times, so the contradiction between them has long been irresolvable."
But.
At present, the army of the Han Dynasty is attacking us, killing many of our warriors, occupying a lot of our pastures, and robbing us of many of our cattle, sheep, livestock, horses and women, and you are still fighting among themselves, which is simply disappointing! ”
The 'private affairs' of these Huns have long been no secret to Yang Chuan.
However, for these ordinary Huns, even if they are tribal leaders, they don't dare to easily talk about the bad things of Da Shan Yu behind their backs, so after listening to Yang Chuan's 'reprimand' at this moment, the last doubt in his heart finally disappeared.
"Honorable envoy, the messenger to the evil king has set out, and the tent prepared for the king of the snowy mountains will also be sent over immediately, and Ala Khan asks the messenger to reward him and drink a bowl of mare's milk wine from our white wolf tribe."
Alakhan bowed again and invited very sincerely: "On the grassland, there is no shortage of fat lambs, nor are there any shortage of sturdy cows.
But.
Distinguished messengers, but some of our distinguished guests, went into our tents and tasted our mare's milk, lambs, and cows.
Now, when the tent is set up, I will come and serve the messenger with the cleaned beef and mutton, the mare's milk wine, and the fat women of our tribe......
Hearing these words, a stone in Yang Chuan's heart finally landed.
The Xiongnu were a very special ethnic group, often cruel to their enemies, every time they raided and plundered the border of the Han Dynasty, they would almost wantonly slaughter Han villages, towns and cities, just like some barbarians who had not fully evolved;
However, if it is on the grassland, these sturdy men have a different face.
Warm, hospitable, often do everything to entertain guests, offering fat lambs, cows, and babies with distant guests, and willing to spend the night with their wives and daughters......
Moreover, there is also a little bit of knowledge in this, which Yang Chuan only learned when he was a slave in the Qiang tribe-
When a Hun invites you into their tent and only gives you mare's milk wine, it means that they are still quite hostile to you, and perhaps if you don't agree, you will be poked with a knife; If you are willing to take out mutton and beef, it means that the hostility is gradually disappearing, and people treat you as an ordinary guest.
Only if they are willing to 'introduce' their wives and daughters, take them into the tent, drink and eat meat with you, and sing and dance with the guests.
So.
Congratulations, you're a guest.
Of course, if you want to be a distinguished guest, then the treatment needs to go further, that is, if the Huns recognize you as a distinguished guest, they will strip and wash them and send them to the tent, which is the need for the continuation and improvement of the ethnic group, and should be inspired by the improvement of the breed of cattle, sheep, livestock and horses.
I have to say, it's a nice custom.
So, day and night later.
……
After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn.
Listening to the mountain breeze blowing outside the tent, feeling the softness of the quilt and clinging to his arm, Yang Chuan was inexplicably a little sentimental.
The woman next to her slept sweetly, her plump lips opened slightly, revealing a few smooth white and beautiful teeth, like a budding Gesang flower, which was very lovable.
This little woman, sure enough, she was very clean.
Up and down the body, there is a faint smell of grass, full and healthy, and the exposed skin is shrouded in a faint halo in the early morning light.
Fuller than the weaver girl.
More docile than Liu Man.
Bina Rentoya......
The only difference is that Naren Toya is a sticky lamb, and her sleeping posture is not good.
And this Hun girl named Reka is a lamb to be slaughtered.
Yang Chuan gave him the illusion that after this day and night, he had evolved from a cook who was not good at fighting and killing to a grassland warrior, which seemed to be very powerful......
Ah, it's the feeling of being able to hit ten.
Of course.
It's all an illusion.
He didn't get up immediately, but quietly stared at Reka's face, and her exposed arms and neck, and thought of the other person with some interest.
Whip of God, Attila.
In the East, in the Central Plains, this name is not very prominent, but in the ancient European world, 'Attila, the whip of God', was a thrilling name, and once became a nightmare for Europeans.
Yang Chuan vaguely remembered that Attila, who was as famous as Genghis Khan in ancient Europe, was originally a Huns.
You must know that the Xiongnu have dominated the desert north for hundreds of years, and they are the biggest threat to the north of the Han Empire, which once made the first emperor feel a headache; However, later, after more than 100 years of devastating blows by fierce people such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Ban Gu, and Dou Xian, this powerful nomadic group finally collapsed, and some of them were attached to the Han Empire and were called 'Southern Xiongnu'.
The vast majority of the Xiongnu were forced to move west and flee north, and in some history books, they are collectively referred to as the 'Northern Xiongnu'.
By the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the last group of Northern Xiongnu disappeared from the accounts of the Central Plains history books.
In fact, the Xiongnu did not disappear completely, but changed a place, multiplied, recuperated in the Central Asian steppe for a long time, and merged with the local indigenous people, and became some other special ethnic groups, for example, the names of the White Xiongnu, the Red Xiongnu, and the Aiken Huns recorded in the history books are very revealing.
These Xiongnu descendants knew very well that they could no longer return to the Mongolian plateau, which had long been occupied by Xianbei and Wuhuan, so these Xiongnu could only continue all the way west.
Then, it became a nightmare for ancient Europeans.
After the descendants of the Northern Huns entered the steppes of Eastern Europe from Central Asia, they conquered and merged with the local Alans, Slavs and Ostrogoths, and eventually formed a powerful Hun ethnic group, which began to sweep across the European continent and eventually became the nightmare of the Roman Empire.
And Attila is their powerful leader.
According to historical records, there were at least three to five hundred European city-states and kingdoms that were completely destroyed by Attila, the whip of God.
In 452 AD, Attila led the Huns in an attack on mainland Italy, his army destroyed many cities, and finally stopped the offensive in northern Italy.
Of course, the reason why Yang Chuan suddenly remembered 'Attila, the whip of God', was not a whim for a while, but a very important 'inducement'.
That's it.
The wife of Attila, the whip of God, was named Reka.
Hot card.
R-é-k-a!
What a nice name.
Many brick families have researched that the name Réka may be derived from the German language, which means water, spring; Or arikan, which is of Turkish origin, which means pure woman.
In this regard, Yang Chuan scoffed, thinking that the words of the brick family were the most untrustworthy, because the name 'Reka', whether it was pronounced or meaning, was clearly a Hun word or not......
……
The cook, the maiden, the whip of God.
These three things that don't match at all appear inexplicably in the bottom of Yang Chuan's heart in the early morning of this Rouge Mountain, and they have not been eliminated for a long time.
After all, it's a dream.
Yang Chuan thought about his thoughts for a while, and then he was ready to get up.
At this moment, outside the tent, there was a rather chaotic sound of footsteps, followed by the low and terrible snoring of Sister Leopard, and the scolding of those half-grown children: "Stop! ”
The head of Ala Khan said with a rather restrained smile: "There is news from the side of the Evil King, please tell me, just say that the head of the White Wolf Tribe, Ala Khan, wants to see the envoy." ”
A young man snorted and said, "The messenger hasn't gotten up yet, so wait first." ”
Ala Khan had no choice but to stand four or five feet outside the tent with his hands down, his eyes seemed to be a little anxious, and he kept turning his head to look due west.
"Is it the Alakhan head?"
Yang Chuan got up and began to dress slowly, but his eyes were always fixed on the girl Reka on the couch, and he said warmly: "Is there news from the evil king?" ”
