Chapter 79 The Huns
This is the progress in history. After fighting the Western Regions and losing their wings, they continued to fight the Huns, but Li Guangli did not live up to it, so what can he do!
So Huo Shan posted three or four memorials to explain the situation. After Liu Che read it, there was no news. Huo Shan knew that he had read it, but he never expressed his opinion.

I don't know if he is too old and stubborn or has other thoughts.

But no matter what he thought, he couldn't wait any longer, and if he waited any longer, the plan would all be missed.

So Huo Shan is going to come by himself, if you don't want to go, then I will go by myself.

It is impossible for such a good opportunity to let him slip away!

So two months ago, Huo Shan asked Xiao Hei to send a letter to Wuhuanyi Cong, asking them to prepare [-] pack horses, and the leader of the Wuhuan tribe readily agreed.

Then Huo Shan was going to test Liu Che, so after receiving Wuhuan's reply, he asked the Shaofu to transport the armor of the Yulin Army and some food and grass to Yuyang County where the Huwuhuan's lieutenant's headquarters was located.

He also told them that Liu Che had to be kept a secret about this matter, and Huo Shan knew that it was impossible to keep it a secret, so he just tried to see if he would let him go.

If he is not allowed to go, then he can only try to find a way to see if he can bypass the checkpoint, if not, then he can only try to steal the Snake Sword.

If you let it go, then just push the boat along and act.

Then three days ago, he received a letter from Feiying from Wuhuan, saying that the soldiers had arrived, and Huo Shan felt confident at this instant.

Isn't this the same as the scene under Mount Tai? If I give you the sword, I'll pretend I don't know anything and see what you will do.

Huo Shan no longer had a headache in an instant, so why did he run or steal the Snake Slaying Sword, just swaggered past him.

So Huo Shan was ready to take action, he asked Xiao Lizi to call Zhong Gan and Zhao Ponu over.

"The last general Zhong Gan, Zhao Puonu sees the lord."

"Well, I called you here to inform you that the whole army will train tomorrow, and the whole army will bring enough food and grass for fifteen days."

"promise."

The two of them had no other ideas, because in the past two years, the Habayashi Army would train from time to time, covering the entire Guanzhong.

As for the disappearance of the armor, Huo Shan's explanation was that it was taken for repairs. At first, everyone wondered if there would be any action, but it has been two months, and they gradually lost their minds.

It's not that no one asked when to go out, but no matter who asked, Huo Shan had only one answer, wait.

Zhao Ponu hesitated for a moment, but still asked:

"Dare to ask my lord, where are you going for this training?"

Huo Shan glanced at him with a half-smile:
"Are you sure you want to listen?"

Seeing Huo Shan's expression, Zhao Ponu immediately waved his hands again and again.

"Don't listen, don't listen!"

"Huh, let's go down and get ready. The ideological education has been taken tonight. Let the soldiers rest well and set off at Mao tomorrow."

"promise."

Now that he has decided to leave, the sooner the better.

It happened that the ground was frozen, and if we waited for a while, the ice would have melted, making the road muddy and difficult to walk on.

Moreover, the sooner we go, the less danger our Captain Zuo will have, and the more hope will be in Er Shanyu's head.

Huo Shan began to plan the route, from Chang'an to Yuyang, he planned to cross the river at Hongnong, then cross the east of the river, then go north along the Fenshui River to Taiyuan, then turn east to reach Zhongshan Kingdom, cross Zhuojun all the way to Shanggu and Yuyang .

This road is easier to walk, and the whole journey is nearly [-] miles.

Huo Shan planned to use fifteen days to reach Yuyang before the end of the first lunar month, with a daily journey of 180 li, one person and two horses, traveling lightly, so it was not a problem.

After the route was researched, Huo Shan had nothing to do, and Zhong Gan and the others arranged the rest.

Huo Shan found books and began to study the history of the Huns, the official system, the situation of the Huns in recent years, and where their territories were.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. If you kill a nobleman and you don't even know his status, isn't that a joke.

Huo Shan has long been familiar with these things, and now he is just familiarizing himself with them.

Speaking of the Huns' system, it is actually very simple.

It is composed of the Shanyu big family, three clans and many little kings.

The highest administrative leader and the highest military commander of the Xiongnu is Shan Yu, who controls all military and political power.

Under the Shanyu, there are the wise kings of the left and right, the kings of the left and right Guli, the generals of the left and right, the captains of the left and right, the great households of the left and right, and the marquis of the left and right bones.

The Xiongnu called Xianyu Tuqi, so King Zuoxian was also called King Zuotuqi. This position was basically held by the next Shanyu, so he was the prince.

But I'm not sure, sometimes when my younger brother becomes Zuo Xianwang, Shan Yu doesn't want to give the position to his younger brother, so he chooses a son, it depends on whether Zuo Xianwang has ambitions or not.

If you are ambitious, you will fight. If you are not ambitious, you will sit down forever. After the death of King Zuo Xian, it depends on the mood of the contemporary Chanyu and the situation of King Zuo Xian.

If you are in a good mood or Zuo Xianwang's clan is strong, you can choose one of the previous heirs. If you are in a bad mood or Zuo Xianwang's clan is weak, you can choose one of your own heirs.

Their status is not divided into left and right, left and right, Zuoxian king has the highest status, then Zuoguli king, and then right right sage king, Youguli king, the Huns respect the left.

And their four kings are called the four corners by the Huns, the four countries, the one starting with the left palms the left side, and the one starting with the right palms the right side.

In addition to the four corners, there are also left and right Zhuri kings, etc., and these kings are all Shanyu's children, the Tongti family, because Mao Dun's surname is the Tongti family, and Shanyu has always been their family since he started.

Therefore, we are all a family, and everyone is the same.

And their perspective is facing the south, so the left side is the east side, and the right side is the west side, which is exactly the opposite of Huaxia.

Farming Huaxia is left west and right east because of the northern nomads, while northern nomads left east and right west because the southern farming Huaxia is a natural opponent.

The Shanyu position is in the center, and the left and right kings are placed on the left and right sides. This is the system established by Maodun, and it is to prevent nomads from the left and right sides.

The famous three kings of the Xiongnu are Shan Yuting, Zuoxian Wangting, and Youxian Wangting!
From this point of view, they have been staring at the fertile land of Huaxia. They think that the Huaxia nation is their greatest enemy, but they are not their opponents.

Other nomads are more harmful to them, so you only need to guard against both sides.

The left and right generals and the left and right captains are all nominal subordinates of the left and right kings, but they all have their own tribes, and whether they obey orders or not depends on the situation.

Because the left and right generals and the left and right captains are all Shan Yu's children, a family, and they are your subordinates in name only.

The right and left big households, the left and right Guduhou, etc. are the real auxiliary ministers, and they are all of the opposite sex.

And these 24 chiefs have official positions such as Qiqu, Danghu, Qianhu, and Baihu. The Xiongnu military system is a decimal system, and tribal men are soldiers as long as they are adults.

So how many troops you have depends on how many people your tribe has.

But after the small tribe rises to become a big tribe, these official positions still cannot fall on you.

You have to take the initiative to attach to the big clan. If you don’t attach, you will be eliminated by the joint. After attaching, you will rush to the front and be weakened in the big battle.

Therefore, the Xiongnu's hierarchy is very strict. It can be said that except for these nobles, the rest are slaves.

The weak cannot survive, and the strong still cannot survive, because they are not nobles.

The 24 chiefs are the 24 big tribes with the title of Wanqi chiefs, such as kings, generals, captains, and big households.

In addition to the Shanyu family, the Huyan family, the Lan family, and the Xubu family, there are three families in the Xiongnu.

The surnames of these three clans were all taken by Maodun.

Basically, except for the king, general, and captain of the Tuoti clan, the other positions are basically from these three clans, and they are the famous clan of the Huns.

Shan Yu's wife was called the Yan clan, and all his wives and concubines were called by this title, and these were all from three other clans, with the Huyan clan as the head.

These families are the big base of the Huns.

In addition to these characters, there are also some little kings, such as King Kunxie, who used to live in Hexi and later surrendered to the Han. After he suddenly turned his back and refused to surrender, tens of thousands of people were suppressed by Lao Huo alone.

There are also Han people who surrendered to the king who was sealed in the past.

For example, after Lu Wan went to the Xiongnu, he was named the King of Donghu Lu, and for example, Zhao Xin, a big traitor who died just three years ago, was named the King of Zici.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to become a king, and there are still many princes.

In addition to these, there are many small and medium-sized tribes. Basically, there are as many men as there are officials, hundreds of people are hundreds of households, thousands of people are thousands of households, and a thousand people are already medium-sized tribes.

They are the subordinates, in whose territory they obey orders!

There are also slave tribes, Han tribes and so on. They are tribes that farm land and make iron for the nobles.

The previous Xiongnu did not have these technologies, thanks to the traitor Zhao Xin.

Nomads also farmed land. In the past few years, they would still be in the Western Regions. There was a farming competition between the Han and the Xiongnu.

So, after going to the battlefield, picking up these nobles and little kings is a great contribution, even if he is only a hundred, as long as his surname is Huyan, then his head is valuable.

Huo Shan was going to Yuyang, and he started from there because he wanted to go to Zuo Xianwang's department first.

One is because there is a Wuhuan over there, so if anything happens, he can be taken care of.

The other is Er Shanyu's succession to the throne, because he loved killing people and fighting wars at a young age, and when he first came to power, it snowed heavily in Changshengtian.

Therefore, the internal instability of the Xiongnu, and the Zuoxian king's department are also relatively weak. Let's see if there is any benefit to be gained.

Start from the Zuo Xian King's Department in the east, and then go all the way to Shan Yuting, to see if Captain Zuo can successfully kill Shan Yu, if he can, then Huo Shan will have done a lot.

Then he kept fighting to the west to see if he could kill Er Chanyu's uncle, the right virtuous king Xilihu, and Er Chanyu's next successor.

Get rid of him, and the Xiongnu will be in chaos for a few years, because the left and right kings are gone, and everyone is qualified to be Shan Yu.

Of course, this is just Huo Shan's good idea. With his 3000 people alone, it is not very possible.

It's best to get rid of Er Shanyu, that's already a credit to the heavens.

Huo Shan thought for a while, and felt that the actual situation had to be seen in the past.
