Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 812 The Future Grassland Lord

"Liu Cong, the leader of the Xiongnu, seems to be the leader of the entire tribe and country, just like the original Liu Yuan, but in fact, compared with Liu Yuan, he not only has different qualifications and prestige, but also lacks the title There are many, and the most important one is the name of Great Chanyu!"

In the current era, the Xiongnu can be regarded as a race that has been deeply Sinicized. The history of Sinicization began with the inward migration of the Southern Xiongnu. Moreover, the Chanyus of the Southern Xiongnu in the past dynasties mostly intermarried with the Han family, and their royal bloodline was filled with the blood of Yan and Liu. , after Liu Yuan rebelled and claimed to be the King of Han, he had this consideration.

Of course, the deeper reason is to leave a seed first due to some considerations about future politics.

However, no matter how Chinese it is, the original customs cannot be discarded for a while, especially after Liu Yuan became independent, he still relied on ethnic consciousness to win over people's hearts, build consensus, and maintain his dominance, so he emphasized the Xiongnu's own Attributes also have the proper meaning. Therefore, within the Xiongnu Kingdom, two sets of ruling systems were running in parallel.

Liu Yuan was both the leader of the Xiongnu kingdom and the great chanyu of the Xiongnu. He was a team with two names.

It's just that Liu Yuan's prestige is understandable in holding two positions, but once he dies, there will be no way to control the situation as his successors fight with each other.

"After Liu Yuan died, Liu Cong inherited the throne. However, because Liu Yuan died... in a hurry, he was seriously ill during his lifetime and had already begun to train heirs. However, power matters vary from person to person. Even at the last moment of his life, people don't want to let go easily. This is probably the same for Liu Yuan. Therefore, among his sons, the heir's power is not great. Compared with others, he only has a slight advantage. , this situation, coupled with Liu Yuan’s sudden death, gave other sons a chance.”

Thinking like this, Chen Zhi recalled some information about the Xiongnu that he had collected during this period, including the situation of Liu Cong and his brothers fighting for power after Liu Yuan died.

"It is said that at Liu Yuan's mourning hall, Liu Cong and the others had a dispute, which even got to the point of calling in the guards, and they almost saw blood. After that, Liu Yi was sent to Luoyang, which was actually a step to seize power, and Liu Cong also arranged for his confidant Jin Zhun to accompany Liu Yi in order to give him time to consolidate his power. However, the development of the matter was still beyond his control. After Liu Yi returned, he was pushed out by several forces in the Huns. , has now inherited the position of Great Chanyu, and commands the military strength of several Xiongnu tribes, which is enough to compete with Liu Cong's own division, but is slightly at a disadvantage."

Chen Zhi knew very well that this situation meant that there were two centers within the Huns, and the decisions made by one center did not represent the trends of the entire force.

"At the moment, Liu Cong's main idea is to recuperate. At the same time, he is still contacting the princes and important ministers in the court. He wants to hold on to Bingzhou and wait for changes in the Central Plains, so he does not want to use weapons. But there is something different with Liu Yi. This person is Bian, I don’t have an accurate source of information. He had previously shown that he wanted to compete with Liu Cong, and even wanted to assassinate me and put the blame on Liu Cong, making the situation chaotic. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t make any big moves, but this person His thoughts are a bit unpredictable and difficult to confirm, and more importantly, there was news before that Liu Yao was leading his troops northward, possibly to contact Rouran."

The previous information was connected with the scene of watching Qi today, which made Chen Zhi feel vigilant.

He knew that Liu Yao and Liu Cong were not of the same mind in the Xiongnu country at the moment, and the conflicts between the two sides were not small, so Liu Yao was attached to Liu Yi, and he was regarded as the right-hand man of the great Shanyu.

"Liu Yao is very ambitious, and he is also a capable person. He has made more achievements in history. He suddenly went north. This purpose is indeed worthy of attention. If it is really like the rumors, it is to find Rouran, then it cannot be taken lightly. , after all, Rouran has also left a strong mark in history..."

Naturally, memories about Rouran emerged in his mind. Most of these memories came from historical research in later generations and were quite macroscopic data.

The grasslands of the fourth century were also full of melee and division. The forces of the Xiongnu and Xianbei either declined or moved south, while the dawn of the Turks and Mongols had not yet come.In this gap, the one who rose up and filled the void was Rouran, a group that could be called mysterious to future generations.

Their original name should be Abal, and they also have derogatory names like "Weiwei".

"According to records, this Rouran is also a branch of the Donghu tribe. It is very likely that it comes from the Tuoba tribe. According to the description of the intelligence, Liu Yao contacted some rebel slaves of the Tuoba tribe..."

Thinking this, Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes.

Although Rouran seems to have the least presence compared to other nomadic empires in the north, Chen Zhi will not despise it because of this. No tribe that can dominate the grassland will be simple and must be outstanding. .

"However, the real rise of Rouran was only after the collapse of the former Qin in history. Before that, they, like other tribes, submitted to the former Qin. This shows that their population and strength were limited in the early stage. Now, perhaps, at this time, It can be regarded as a powerful force, able to form an army! If they choose to suddenly go south to attack Daibei New City when Wang Jun comes to attack, the situation will be much more complicated..."

Thinking like this, Chen Zhi's sleepiness gradually disappeared, but he couldn't get up directly. Instead, he deduced the situation in his mind and prepared countermeasures. There was no conclusive evidence at the moment, so he couldn't take a big approach, otherwise it might shake people's hearts. This was also his reason. The reason why I saw the black energy today but didn't take immediate action was that it was originally a dinner evaluation. If it was suddenly interrupted, it would make people speculate and make people panic.

However, on the other hand, he also knew very well that if the other party really wanted to do this, there would be no signs.

"It's true that Liu Yao has a grudge against me, but in terms of grudge, the entire Xiongnu has a bad opinion of me. But Liu Cong knows that for the sake of the interests of the ethnic group and the consolidation of power, he first relaxed and secretly conducted business. Then Liu Yao Since in the original history, someone who can take charge of a country must not be a short-sighted person. If he wants to send troops, he must have a motive. From the perspective of maximizing interests, simply attacking Dai County may distract me. Letting Daijun be swallowed up by Wang Jun is not the biggest thing! The best choice is to contact Wang Jun and unite the two sides and agree that each will gain something. Therefore, if he wants to attack, he should communicate with Wang Jun, so Wang Jun The surveillance over there needs to be a little tighter..."

Thinking like this, various countermeasures slowly came to mind, allowing him to slowly choose and weigh. The night was getting darker, but Chen Zhi had no sleep all night.

At this moment, there are many people in Dai County who are tossing and turning and unable to sleep. It is those people from aristocratic families. After they went back, they did not know the results of the results, and they were even more upset. They were waiting for dawn, hoping to hear the results as soon as possible.

However, after the east turned white, the family did not get the results they wanted, but Chen Zhi got the news he had been waiting for -

"The Dharma slips and Nie Daoren left Murong and went south, most likely heading for Shile!"
