Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 463 Mao Dun
  Three days later, the sky will be clear and everything will be fine.

Outside Yunzhong County, there is a wolf tribe camp, with tens of thousands of wolf tribe soldiers scattered in a scattered manner, forming separate groups in an irregular manner.

The wolves are not familiar with the art of war, and their marches and camps are full of casualness. This army is no exception, but the appearance and demeanor of these wolf soldiers seem to be elite.

This army is under the command of King Zuoxian of the Wolf Clan, who is the eldest son of Touman Chanyu and a subordinate of Maodun.

The relationship between Maodun and his father Touman was not good, or to be more precise, it was very bad. Touman favored his Xinque family, so he wanted his youngest son born to the Xinque family to inherit the position of Shanyu. Laimao Dun, the theoretical first-in-line successor, became an obstacle.

In fact, the Wolf Clan is not that particular and does not strictly follow the primogeniture system. After all, the so-called Shanyu Royal Court was established by Touman. He has the final say in everything. However, the Wolf Clan respects the strong. , his bigger little son took his head to fight with Mao Dun, who was well known on the grassland for his bravery!

In order to clear the way, Touman sent Mao Dun to Dayuezhi as a hostage, and then deliberately caused trouble for Dayuezhi with the intention of angering the other party and killed Mao Dun as a hostage. Unfortunately, Mao Dun was smart and brave and managed to escape. Come back.

Touman had no choice but to first grant the post of Zuoxian King to Moton, which should be held by the heir according to the rules, and then find other ways to get rid of him.

In this invasion of the North, Touman specially brought Mao Dun here. First, he wanted to get Mao Dun to leave the royal court so that his people could take advantage of the opportunity to weaken Mo Dun's power. Second, he wanted to see if there was any chance of a battlefield without eyes. , let him "accidentally die", it's all over.

Mao Dun was not a fool. Although he followed the order of King Chan Yu and led his troops, he did not join forces with Tou Man or King Yougu Li. Instead, he fought alone, without expecting much gain. He just wanted to lose as few people as possible. Possible damage control.

Anyway, Li Mu's previous looting and destruction mainly focused on Touman's territory, and it had nothing to do with him, the Zuo Xian King. His tribe's wintering was not a big problem.

However, after fishing for half a month, he was still approached by Touman's messengers.

In the camp, Maodun, who is in his twenties, has rough skin, firm eyes, and a fierce look on his face, is receiving Touman's messenger. As for the purpose of the other party's coming...

"My lord, King Zuoxian, Shanyu ordered you to lead your troops to Yanmen immediately to join the main force of our army."

"Why did the Chanyu suddenly join forces?" Mao Dun didn't know why, and he certainly couldn't agree immediately, so he asked first.

"It's to deal with... to deal with Li Mu." When the messenger mentioned Li Mu's name, he couldn't help but tremble a little, which shows Li Mu's reputation in the wolf clan.

Mao Dun was surprised when he heard this, "Deal with Li Mu? This is really...how does Shanyu plan to deal with Li Mu?"

"How could a villain know such military information?" The messenger smiled bitterly but could not give an answer.

"Is this so..."

Mao Dun has no regrets. It would be outrageous to say such a thing from the mouth of a messenger.

However, there is one thing to say... This goal is very tempting. If there is a chance to get rid of Li Mu, Mao Dun would not mind putting aside the grudge with his own father first and working together to deal with Li Mu. After all, this Northland military god is really the best in the world. The Huns’ nightmare.

To get rid of Touman and become a Chanyu, Mao Dun is confident, but to deal with Li Mu and invade the North... I'm sorry, it's a bit difficult.

If Li Mu can be eliminated, the entire Huns can breathe a sigh of relief. It is definitely the highest priority...

After some consideration, Mao Dun had an idea and said to the messenger:
  "You rush back immediately to inform Shanyu, and I will rush to Yanmen to meet him as soon as possible."

The messenger, who didn't have much brains, got a positive answer and left happily without thinking more about it. After Mao Dun responded to the order and hurriedly drove the people away... everything was as usual, and he had no intention of going to the Yanmen area.

Just kidding, at the gate of Northland, there will be a chance to surround and kill Li Mu, who is doing everything right. Do you think I am stupid?

Either Touman wanted to get rid of me under the pretext of this, or it was Li Mu's plan to trap Touman and kill him.

No matter what the possibility was, Mao Dun had no reason to intervene. Let Tou Man do whatever he wanted. If he could really get rid of Li Mu, that was his ability. Mao Dun could then devote himself to figuring out how to deal with Tou Man, and If Touman died in Li Mu's hands, that would be a good thing.

Anyway, you won't lose anything, so why bother wading into this muddy water.

Being able to escape from the clutches of Da Yuezhi by himself, Mao Dun is definitely a rare smart person among the wolf clan, and he can calculate the accounts very clearly.

Of course, at this time, Maodun didn't think that Li Mu could really swallow up Touman's entire army.

Although my old father who cheated his son is not a thing, he does not have senile dementia. He suffered a loss from Li Mu back then, and now he will never really rush into death without thinking. It is amazing that he was beaten by Li Mu in one fell swoop. Just retreat to the grassland.

At this time, an old man in the tribe found Mao Dun. He was the "Tuqi" of the wolf tribe, which means a sage. He was respected by the entire wolf tribe. There were almost no people with this title in the wolf tribe who had existed for more than 10 years at the same time. After three, now there is only one person known to Modu, who has taken refuge under his command.

"Old Tu Qi, do you have anything to do with me?" Facing this wolf sage, even the unruly Mao Dun became more respectful.

Tu Qi, a wolf tribe member who was leaning on a twisted and strange-shaped crutch, with messy gray hair and a stooped body, coughed lightly and said:
  "Ahem! King Zuo Xian, did Master Shanyu send someone to summon you to join forces to deal with the wolf hunters?"

Wolf hunter - also known as Li Mu, this is a nickname for Li Mu from the wolf tribe and the Central Plains region. Very few people in the former are called that, not because it sounds bad to the wolf tribe, but because of the shame... This title originally He was born in the wolf tribe, which represents the fear that some wolf tribe warriors have towards Li Mu. It is undoubtedly a shame for the wolf tribe that advocates the strong and claims to be fearless of life and death.

Mao Dun's eyes moved and he quickly replied, "That's right, Old Tu Qi, did you see something?"

The reason why Tu Qi is respected by the wolf tribes is firstly because of his inherent status and secondly because of his strength.

Tu Qi is not only a wizard who is powerful enough to compete with the top masters, but he is also proficient in the art of prophecy and can glimpse a glimpse of the future. Although his vision is sometimes inconsistent and he doesn't see much, it is enough for people to pay attention to.

In response to Mao Dun's rhetorical question, Old Tu Qi did not rush to answer. He looked at the young and energetic Mao Dun with his cloudy eyes and asked again, "Have you agreed to Shan Yu's recruitment?"

Mao Dun shook his head, "No, wolf hunters are too dangerous. I don't intend to get involved in this matter."

"Well... just don't go." After receiving the reply, Old Tuqi shook his head and planned to leave to rest.

Modu quickly asked again, "Old Tuqi, what did you see?"

Old Tuqi paused and replied with a trembling voice, "I didn't see anything."

"Then you..." Mao Dun wanted to ask why, but he told himself not to move when he didn't see it?

However, Old Tuqi also guessed that he must ask this, and then explained, "I should be able to see things, but now I only see a hollow darkness."
