Qiang Qin

Updated: 2011-01-31

When Fusu was busy ordering people to choose people from the elites from all over the place who had enlisted in Xianyang, the Huns on the grassland he wanted to deal with had already messed up as he had imagined.

A hailstorm that day gave the Huns, who were about to be surrounded and wiped out by Meng Tian and others, a glimmer of life again.Although the hailstones were very painful, the Huns still retreated as fast as possible.But because the sky and the earth were pitch black, they couldn't find their way at all. They wanted to go north but turned west.In this way, the lives of these people were saved, because if they had really found the right direction to go north, the Qin army would be able to find their whereabouts in time. In their current state, they could not match the Qin army led by Meng Tian. counterbalanced.But going west avoided this. At the same time, because of the availability of rations in the army, Mouton did not turn north after leaving the hail area, but led people to plunder several small villages and towns nearby.

Knowing that the Huns had been defeated by the Qin army, the local people returned home.Unexpectedly, they happened to run into Maodun and the others who were extremely short of food. In the end, these people were slaughtered, and the 3 horses and horses finally won't starve to death here for the time being.Then Mao Dun brought his troops back to the grassland. He knew that with the current force, there was no big threat to the Central Plains. Moreover, Meng Tian and others were still on the border, and it was safest to return to the depths of the grassland. . ,

Judging from the previous battles between the Huns and the people of the Central Plains, the army of the Central Plains only needed to defend their own cities, and never wanted to drive out all the people on the grassland.Firstly, the people in the Central Plains only make a living by farming, and they don't want to rob the grassland, because there is no food to grow there.Secondly, it is also because of the settlements of various tribes on the grassland, and it is impossible for the soldiers of the Central Plains to destroy them. Therefore, the people of the Central Plains have always focused on defense when facing the Huns. Such a powerful emperor's order was only to drive the Huns into the depths of the grassland.So Mao Dun also believed that as long as he took his men and horses back to the depths of the grassland, after a period of rest, he could continue to return to deal with the Qin people.

Following the Huns slowly walking north, Ji Du and Bai Ban were full of unwillingness.The two of them tried their best to get Maodun to agree to send troops to attack the cities in the Central Plains, and they also plotted to make the Huns win repeatedly, but they still ended in failure.Looking at the border between the Central Plains and the Grassland that was gradually disappearing, the two sighed again. They didn't know when they would be able to fulfill their wish, return to the Central Plains, or this wish would not be fulfilled in their lifetime.

After feeling that they were safe, the team finally stopped. Mo Dun called a group of leaders and generals in front of him to discuss how to proceed, while the others looked around for prey to supplement.Fortunately, spring has arrived at this time, everything is beginning to recover, and the prey on the grassland is slowly increasing.

The leaders of each small tribe have also realized that the casualties of their own tribes are also very heavy, so they are still very respectful to Maodun, after all, Maodun is still above them in terms of strength.Only by following Mao Dun can they have a chance to revitalize their tribe.Seeing the docile appearance of the leaders, Mao Dun made up his mind and said: "We have failed this time, but my descendants of the sun will not fail forever. One day we will come back and the whole Central Plains will be defeated by then." It is all ours. But the most important thing to do now is to return to the tribe and bring the population together. Only when we are all together can we get through this difficult time."

His words aroused the surprise of all the leaders. They had already heard Maodu's intention, that is, he wanted to annex all the small tribes here, so that the loss to Maodu would be minimized.But for these leaders, this was a huge blow. In this way, they changed from the lords of one party to the vassals of Maodun, but now the tribes have suffered heavy losses, and Fa and Maodun resisted, so In the end, they still agreed to Mouton's proposal.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his words, Mao Dun was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered people to carry the prey they had just caught to the fire and roast it.He knew that his position on the grassland would not change in this way, so he still had a chance.

Halfway through eating, one person put forward a different opinion: "Shanyu, although we agreed to join your tribe, as the big chanyu on our grassland, you should punish a person and his tribe." tribes, and make them our slaves, so that our fallen warriors may rest in peace."

As soon as his words fell, the others nodded one after another: "That's right, not only did Gu Ke of the Diela tribe fail to take down the Jiuyuan City, but he also brought his own people back to the grassland. They are the sinners who caused our failure. If If Shanyu doesn't deal with him, we won't be convinced!" All of a sudden everyone shouted loudly to vent their dissatisfaction.

Mao Dun also held a grudge against Gu Ke in his heart. If he hadn't fled back to the grassland after the failure, he would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat. Perhaps with the help of his 2 horses, he won the battle in the cloud. indefinite.However, he and Ji Du had analyzed that his tribe was seriously injured and it was not suitable for another battle with the Diela tribe, so he didn't talk about it with the leaders.I don't want him to mention it, but someone still said it. After being yelled at by everyone, the anger in Mao Dun's heart also ignited: "As the big Shanyu, I will definitely give everyone an explanation. After we return to the grassland and settle down, I will call that Gu Ke, and cut off his head to pay homage to the warriors of all races who died at the hands of the Qin people!"

After hearing his assurance, everyone seemed to calm down, but the faces of Ji Du and Bai Ban on the side became a little ugly.The two of them knew very well that the current grassland would not be able to withstand the chaos of last time, and if Mouton really wanted to trouble Gu Ke, Gu Ke would not stand still.But in the current situation, the two of them knew that Modu couldn't listen to what they said, so they could only sigh secretly.

After Mao Dun returned to his own tribe, he sent the leaders of each tribe back to their respective tribes to recruit the tribesmen, and he accepted the remaining cavalry from each tribe honestly.But after waiting for a few days, no leader came back with his clansman, which made Mao Dun very surprised.Calculated by time, more or less there will always be several tribes coming to their side.Just when Mao Dun was wondering, the answer finally came that day.

On this day, when Modu had just got up, he heard someone rushing towards him. When he saw Modu, he shouted loudly, "Shan Yu, something is wrong! A cavalry appeared from the west and killed our camp. Come!"

"Who is so courageous?" Mao Dun asked angrily.At the same time, he wondered: "Could it be that the Qin people from the Central Plains came to the grassland this time?" While thinking, he had already taken the weapons in the tent, and hurried out of the tent and got on his horse.At this time, the cavalrymen outside Modun had already got their weapons and sat on their horses, waiting for him to come out to command.

Under the leadership of Mao Dun, more than [-] people went west to meet them.In the end, they saw that the invading enemy was not the Qin people, but the Huns who were dressed in leather robes like them and wore left lapels.Although the Huns didn't fly any banners, Modun and the others could tell the origin of this army-the Diela tribe at a glance.

Seeing that Mao Dun led the men and horses to fight out, the people on the road stopped, and then the tens of thousands of horses separated, and one person rode out calmly, it was Gu Ke.He glanced at those Maodun subordinates who were still wounded, and his eyes were full of mockery: "Modun, Maodun, I didn't expect you to have today. Today, my Diela department will take your position in Shanyu and become our The sun on the prairie." His words elicited cheers from the cavalry behind, and at the same time scolded from Mo Dun's side.

Mao Dun immediately understood why the leaders of those tribes never returned. It turned out that those tribes had been controlled by Gu Ke who had returned to the grassland early. Those leaders should have been killed by him if they had not surrendered. .When he thought of his repeated battles in the Central Plains, not only did he fail, but also allowed Guke from the Diela tribe to take advantage of the loopholes and seize the military power, he became angry and said loudly: "Guke, How dare you rebel against me? If I hadn’t led troops to rescue your Diela tribe that day, you would have been killed by Yeke from the Datu tribe long ago. Don’t forget, I am the Shanyu on the grassland, and it was you who said it yourself The recognized lord of the grassland."

Gu Ke said disdainfully: "You said you saved me, so why don't you mention the credit that my Diela Department has done for you? When the Dadu Department rebelled against you, our Diela Department resolutely supported you and acted as a pioneer many times Fighting to the death with the Dadu tribe. This time we marched into the Central Plains, we have repeatedly made military exploits, but what about you? You asked me to take troops to attack a city guarded by 10 people. Labu will be wiped out.

"As for what you said, you are the Chanyu of the Grassland. It's ridiculous. Do you think we have all forgotten how you became a Chanyu? Strength is everything. Now your people are far inferior to mine. Today I will Be Shan Yu on this grassland!" Having said that, Gu Ke swung the knife in his hand and ordered people to attack Mo Dun.

On the grassland, there has never been the loyalty that the people of the Central Plains said, only strength and desire. Now that the strength of the two sides has changed, it is of course impossible for Maodun's position to be as stable as Mount Tai.After figuring this out, the only thing Maodun can do is to bring his men and horses to kill him. He wants to use his own knife to defend his power.

The grassland once again fell into chaos.
