The Wuhuan people were divided into several tribes, with the largest tribe having tens of thousands of people and the smallest having just over a hundred people. They were scattered on a daily basis and had never formed a unified tribe. The strong among them would be respected by the leaders of each tribe.

Qiuliju, the previous King of Wuhuan, followed Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in rebellion in Youzhou. In the end, he was defeated by Duan Jiong and was seriously injured. He died within two years.

After Qiuliju died, his son Louban was young, so his nephew Tadun took his place and took charge of the three kings. Everyone followed his teachings and orders.

Tadun was a brave and skilled warrior with extraordinary talents and strategies. All the elders on the border compared him to Maodun. Relying on his remote location and his courage to accept fugitives, he dominated the hundreds of barbarians.

Qiuliju had just been defeated, and Tadun did not dare to pull the beard of Liu Han (the governor of Youzhou at that time was Duan Jiong). The Wuhuan had no foothold in Youzhou and could only go north out of the Great Wall and into the deep mountains and forests.

Later, the governor of Youzhou was replaced. Liu Yu was not a hawk. Without violating Liu Han's bottom line, he re-established friendly relations with Wuhuan. The two sides traded with each other, and there were no major conflicts in the northeast for several years.

Liu Han appointed Liu Yu as the governor of Youzhou after careful consideration. The northern territory is vast, and the Han people are not a nomadic people after all, and they do not have the habit of living in a fixed place. The Xianbei have already been offended to death, and there will be chaos in the south in the future. Liu Han should focus most of his energy on the south, and just seek stability in the north.

During Liu Yu's tenure as governor of Youzhou, peace was on the rise between the Han and Wuhuan. Perhaps because he was frightened by Liu Han, Tadun was initially very repulsive when facing the Han people, but later...

The Han people gave so much!

The land of comfort and the tomb of heroes, ten years of comfortable life made Tadun discover that by trading with the Han people, he not only did not have to starve, but also became increasingly wealthy. From then on, Tadun increased cooperation with the Han people, carried out trade, built roads and bridges, and sometimes even served as a guard to help the Han people pass safely through the jungle.

Tadun was a martial arts expert and he led his tribe out of poverty, becoming a more prestigious figure among the Wuhuan than any other monk.

Every family has its own problems, and Tadun is no exception. He is the nephew of Qiuliju. Although there are not many old people following Qiuliju, they still have considerable influence in the clan. The key is that Louban has grown up.

Unlike Tadun, Louban is Qiuliju's biological son. When Qiuliju died, Louban was too young, so everyone elected Tadun as their leader.

"Brother, after so many years, have you forgotten our father's revenge?"

"Lou Ban, you!" Seeing that the royal court was filled with Lou Ban's guards, how could Tadun not know that Lou Ban was planning a rebellion?

Compared with Tadun, Louban was stronger but had a more sinister look. For ten years, he had been immersed in hatred.

"Brother, you have been the Chanyu for ten years. It is time to return the throne."

"Louban, what on earth are you going to do?!"

"What?" Lou Ban smiled contemptuously, "Of course we are raising an army for revenge!"

"Revenge? Are you crazy?!"

In ten years, Wuhuan has recovered to the prosperity it had ten years ago. The tribe now has 80,000 combat soldiers. If they grit their teeth, it will be no problem to gather 100,000 soldiers.

"No, I'm not crazy and I'm confident."

Tadun looked around and saw a Han Chinese. "It's you? It was you who instigated Louban, right?"

How could Tadun, the leader of the Wuhuan, not know about the civil war in the Han Dynasty? But it was because he knew too much that he knew that those princes could not make any waves in front of Liu Han.

Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. As an outsider and the leader of the tribe, the Great Khan of Wuhuan, Tadun was even more clear-headed. Rather than saying it was a civil strife in the Han Dynasty, it would be more accurate to say that the King of Zhenbei took advantage of the civil strife to carry out a large-scale purge of the aristocratic families and powerful families within the Han Dynasty, thereby further strengthening the imperial power.

Tadun admired Liu Han very much. If it were him, he couldn't do it. There were hundreds of Wuhuan tribes, and if they really started fighting, blood would flow like a river. But Liu Han did it. It is said that he killed more than 100,000 people in the battle of Huainan. He really deserves to be called "Iron-blooded Liu the Butcher."

"You must be joking, Chanyu. How can I have such ability?"

After hearing this, Tadun ran towards the Han Chinese angrily and said, "I don't care how you Han Chinese fight your civil war, but don't think of attacking my Wuhuan people."

The Han Chinese looked at Lou Ban innocently, which made Tadun even more angry. He drew his knife and said, "I will kill you!"

Lou Ban drew his sword to block, "Brother, I am trying to persuade you because you are my brother. Don't make mistakes, or else don't blame me for not thinking about our brotherly love." "Alas!" Tadun became Chanyu and took good care of his brother, but the thing he feared the most still happened, "Lou Ban, listen to my advice, let the Han people fight their own affairs, we should not get involved, okay?"

"Brother, the arrow is on the string, it's too late for you to say this."

"Lou Ban, you...you don't know how terrifying the King of Zhenbei is!"

"Brother, you are afraid of him, but I am not."

"Alas!" Tadun finally realized what it meant to say good words could not persuade a damned person. He sat down dejectedly and said, "Forget it, forget it. If you want to make trouble, then go ahead. I can't control it and I don't want to control it anymore."

"Thank you for your help, brother." Lou Ban turned around and said, "Pass the order to seal the king's tent. No one is allowed to enter."

"Here."

"Chanyu..." the Han strategist hesitated.

"Huh? What are you trying to say?"

"Tadun is still a Chanyu after all, he is just imprisoned..."

"Shut up! It's not your turn as a Han Chinese to tell me what to do."

Lou Ban had a natural hatred for the Han people, but he was not yet so cruel as to be insane. Over the past ten years, Tadun had been very kind to him, so he could not bring himself to kill him.

"Is what you said true?"

"Of course. My master said that he would give Liu Han a surprise in a month."

Lou Ban nodded, "One month, that's about enough time."

Lou Ban could not keep the fact that Tadun was imprisoned secret for long, so he secretly prepared for a month, which was enough time for him to launch an attack on the Han army.

"Has Liaodong agreed?"

"nature."

The Liaodong mentioned by Lou Ban naturally refers to the Gongsun clan of Liaodong. Although Liu Han occupied Youzhou, he only controlled Liaoxi and built a pass for defense.

The terrain of Liaodong region is complex. Gongsun clan has been operating here for many years and wanted to take over Liaodong in one fell swoop. They wanted to launch a blitzkrieg, but the terrain did not allow it.

Therefore, Liu Han adopted the same measures towards Liaodong as he did towards Liangzhou, waiting until he had spared the energy to deal with them together.

Under the leadership of the Han people, the Gongsun clan of Liaodong and Lou Ban formed an alliance and launched an attack on Youzhou at the same time one month later.

"Okay, let's get ready."

Lou Ban was very confident in front of Tadun, but he was still a little nervous when he was about to take action. He had also carefully investigated Liu Han over the years, and Lou Ban had to admit that he was a ruthless man. The Southern Xiongnu were expelled, 300,000 Xianbei died because of him, and the Wuhuan also lost nearly 100,000 people. He was going to face this ruthless man next. "No matter what, my father's revenge must be avenged!"

As for the Han people in front of him, "Come here."

"Chanyu."

"Make him disappear."

"Here." (End of chapter)
