Chapter 157: Changes in the Royal Court
In the far north, in the Dragon City.
Maudon had already abandoned all his followers.
Instead, with a group of young people.
All of these people were brought out in a military camp of the king of Zuogu (pronounced "deer").
But it is also a soldier who has been personally selected by Maudun and trained for several years.
For them, Maudun has long been commanded like an arm.
Wherever their arrows go, they will attack!
The current Maodun does not have much power in the Xiongnu, and most of the major tribes still obey the orders of his father Toumandanyu.
And with the Right Xian King, the Right Valley Liwang has become more and more powerful in recent years!
Tribal forces such as King Zuo Gu Li, who did not have King Zuoxian, have become more and more difficult to occupy the right to speak in the aristocratic royal court council in recent years.
The unfavored eldest son Mao Dun has not been able to be titled by King Zuo Xian (like the crown prince) so far, which makes people quite controversial.
It is also because of this that Mao Dun can easily encircle the king of Zuogu Li, and secretly help himself a lot.
Looking at the approaching Dragon City from afar, Mao Dun, who was riding forward, had a complicated expression.
This is the last chance, if you miss this time, the Huns will be devastated, and they will definitely fall into weakness in the future!
To be honest, he didn't have the confidence to suppress part of the power of the Right Virtuous King.
Therefore, it can only be used in dangerous ways.
At that moment, the cavalry of King Lili of Zuogu had also made a detour and began to approach Dragon City.
It's just that in the end, whether King Zuogu Li will really support himself openly depends on his final strength!
Just before Maudon was about to reach Dragon City.
A few horsemen outside the city suddenly rushed towards them.
Those were the few nobles in the royal court who were loyal to him.
One of them shouted from afar.
"Shan Yu is hunting in Zhuotu Mountain in the west!"
Without a word of nonsense, Maudon immediately turned.
When the eldest son returns, he is the first to meet his father, which is very reasonable!
The road was smooth, and they soon arrived at Zhuotu Mountain.
In the distance, he saw a tent standing at the foot of the mountain.
Not far away, Tou Manshan Yu was riding on a horse.
He was followed by a young man in his twenties.
That's his little brother.
Before they could reach them, they were stopped.
Only Maudun can get close.
He stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
The head is full of singles, but he doesn't show it, how happy.
Instead, he asked a few words, where have you gone in the past half a year!
Maudon replied respectfully.
I went to the Yueshi clan, and I also went to the territory of Daqin!
This made Touman surprised.
The behemoth entrenched in the south, I never knew too much about it!
Unexpectedly, this eldest son, who has never liked it very much, can go deep into it safely.
Touman, who didn't want to take him on the hunt, groaned slightly.
In the end, I was still attracted by the internal situation of Daqin.
So he opened his mouth and ordered Maudon to follow and participate in the hunt.
"That Da Qin! How's the Southern Expedition? Can Baiyue admit defeat? ”
Maudon also mounted his horse and followed him, all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
"So far, Baiyue has not been captured!"
"And there are still a lot of old clans of the Six Kingdoms who want to be restored."
"As a result, there is continuous civil strife in Great Qin, and we don't have to worry about it at all."
Tou Man nodded with satisfaction.
To be honest, he and Qin Shi Huang are the same generation.
He unified the entire northern Xiongnu, and Qin Shi Huang unified the entire southern land!
Almost simultaneously.
In his opinion, his own merits are not much compared to him.
It's just that the First Emperor was lucky, with more territory and more opponents to attack.
"This time I went south, and I didn't see anything superior to us about the First Emperor."
"The governance of Great Qin is not as stable as our Xiongnu, and speaking of the First Emperor, it is nothing more than that, it is not as good as Shan Yu at all!"
This remark made Touman slightly surprised, this eldest son is enlightened!
I didn't like him before, because he followed the teacher in the Central Plains and thought he had learned something good.
I revere the hundred schools of thought in the Central Plains every day, and feel that the Xiongnu culture is too simple!
Unexpectedly, this time it was a reform.
It's just too late! He has decided to pass on the position of Shan Yu to his second son.
Tou Manshan Yu shook his head.
On the other hand, Mao Dun's eyes narrowed.
After he was scolded by Shan Yu in the past, he may really doubt the truth of what the teacher said.
But since I went south this time, I have seen the political achievements of Qin Shi Huang with my own eyes, and I have personally felt the brilliance of the Central Plains thought!
has completely understood that if this continues, the royal court will be defeated by his arrogance sooner or later.
The Qin army's various unified crossbow weapons were not at all something that the Xiongnu could resist.
What's more, the South has a stable grain and a stable population.
The Huns could not be compared at all, and the only advantage was the mobility of light horses.
But according to the various decrees issued by the First Emperor, when they have digested it, I am afraid that the Great Qin at that time will be even more terrifying, and the light cavalry may not be able to take advantage of it!
Maudun was pretty sure that this was really the last chance for the Huns.
At this moment, Touman, who was in a good mood, suddenly found that a wolf was carefully watching in the distance.
The corners of Touman's mouth curled.
In this hunt, the wolves were used to show their bravery.
He galloped away at the gray wolf.
The gray wolf immediately turned and fled south.
The crowd hurried after him.
Before leaving, Mao Dun left a gesture towards his own soldiers not far away.
The pro-soldiers immediately followed from the flanks one by one, assuming the appearance of guards.
Finally, after being far away from the station.
Touman caught up with the gray wolf.
But at this moment, although the wolf was afraid, he did not retreat, but put on an offensive posture.
Don't think about it, there must be wolves behind this.
Sure enough, the next moment, nearly a hundred wild wolves emerged from the hills.
There are only dozens of people around Touman, but he is not afraid at all.
Touman's eyes were still flashing with excitement, and he bent his bow and arrows with his second son, aiming at the head wolf and shooting fiercely!
The arrow hit, and several gray wolves fell to the ground.
But the wolves are also ferocious!
They are about to besiege it!
Seeing that Shan Yu was in distress, Mao Dun reflexively tore off the longbow from behind his back, and a ringing arrow was mounted.
Touman didn't care, he was ready to turn around and ride back while sneaking away from the wolves.
Until they are all hunted!
But the next moment!
"Whoosh!"
A loud whistle sounded.
The arrow hit the head man with precision, and the horse sat down.
Touman and his brother were stunned.
The next moment, hundreds of Maudun soldiers who had already followed not far away subconsciously shot arrows according to their previous training.
The rain of arrows that followed covered the entire area in an instant!
Touman's eyes widened, and he turned back to look at his eldest son with a look of incredulity.
What I saw was Mao Dun who had closed his eyes in the distance.
A wry smile appeared on Touman's face.
It turned out that he had already made up his mind!
until he heard that his father and his brother had fallen to the ground.
Mao Dun showed a face full of grief.
But he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and led the somewhat flustered crowd back to the camp.
At this moment, the soldiers who followed him also knew that they were all involved in shooting Shan Yu whether they wanted it or not.
If Maudun fails, they will have no choice but to die, and their families will be implicated.
The only thing they can do now is to swear to protect Mao Dun to the top!
It's just that this move still makes some people feel cold!
Ming Di kills his father! Can you really subdue everyone?
Maudun summoned all the noble ministers who had come with him.
"Shan Yu died in the wolves, and now I will take over, do you have any objections?"
With the sound of inquiry, there were hundreds of people behind him.
Those loyal ministers who followed were stunned, but no one dared to speak out under such force.
Almost at the same time, the cavalry of the King of Zuogu Li also surrounded the entire Dragon City, waiting for the return of Mao Dun!
Since then, the entire northern Xiongnu have officially entered the era of the Maodun royal court!
Check the information, it's slow
