Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 14 The Attacking Huns, Touman Chanyu
In the south of Henan in the north of Beidi City.Shanyu Touman, the Xiongnu, has actually led his own headquarters and the leaders of some tribes in the south to discuss in his Shanyu tent.

Because it is broad daylight in the camp, there are very few lights and lighting items in the northwest, but now there are Tou Mandanyu and the leaders of various tribes in the camp.

Touman stared at the leaders of each tribe from the throne and said: "I recently got news that the Qin State in the south is going to gather and invade the Qi and Yan countries in the east."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the leaders of all the tribes, and those leaders all looked at Touman with a confused expression, and their eyes revealed a sentence: What does this have to do with us?

Touman Shanyu smiled, he actually wanted to test whether the leaders of the various tribes had the same source of information as himself.

It seems that this Shan Yu is indeed more far-sighted than them, and the spies left in Beidi City are still useful.

"You have to know that once Qi and Yan are destroyed, Qin will have no rivals on their side. The next step will definitely cause trouble for us. We can't just sit back and wait for death." Shan Yu patted the table in front of him and told the people in front of him. The critical nature of the situation among idiots.

Moreover, the Xiongnu had not taken any advantage in the invasion of the northern city from the south for several years. If the northern city could be captured while Qin was using its troops, it would be safer in a short time.

This time Touman spent a lot of money to gather a total of 15 Xiongnu warriors from the Xiongnu tribes in the south and west, but now there are only [-] soldiers in the northern city.

The leaders of all the tribes looked at the southern sky in unison, and seemed to see countless wealth, food, and slaves behind Beidi City.For them, food and slaves are absolutely indispensable for growing their own tribe, and these are all available in Beidi City.

The headman of the goat tribe is the goat king (the nomadic king is actually just the tribal leader, incomparable with the kings of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period). It is said to be the bravest, but it is indeed the most risky, this time the striker let the goats come!"

But the Wooden Snakes, who had a territorial dispute with the Goats, were unwilling, and the Wooden Snake King also asked for orders: "Shanyu, you also know our Wooden Snakes, we beat the Goats everywhere, not to mention that the Wooden Snakes are one of the best on the grassland. The brave Chad, this time the vanguard should let our Wooden Snake Department come!"

"Chan Yu, you know our Loufu Department," followed by the Wooden Snake and Goat Departments, the first few large tribes on the grassland who asked for orders.

King Loufan added: "Our Loufan tribe has strong cavalry and shooting skills and is fast. Let us be the vanguard this time!"

"Chan Yu, Shan Yu..." The leaders of other tribes below also began to fight for the vanguard.

In addition to being nomadic, the Xiongnu relied on plundering the people of the southern Xia. Except for part of the spoils that had to be handed over to the headquarters, the others naturally counted as much as they grabbed.

Therefore, vanguards must rush to do good things like fighting with the wind.

But seeing that the goat department was the first to stand up, the heads of the other departments were unhappy and stepped forward to petition.

And Touman is very satisfied with the meritorious service among the leaders of various tribes. After all, as a nomadic people, the Huns are still slaves.

Although he is the leader of all the Xiongnu on the surface, in fact he can only mobilize the warriors of his own department, and the warriors of other tribes still directly listen to his leader.

Although the various tribes also have loose alliances, Touman still has to control their strength so that they are not too strong.This kind of direct competition for the leader will definitely affect the relationship between them, and Touman wants such an effect.

When they had almost quarreled, Touman announced his decision to let another trusted tribe, the grass wolf, serve as the striker.

Then he said: "I know, each of your departments has unique skills! But this time I plan to let the grass wolf department be the vanguard."

In fact, Touman has thought a lot, and the Loufu Department has other tasks to arrange.

And the Wooden Snake Department is not actually on his side. In the previous battle for Shanyu's position, the Wooden Snake Department did not support him.

Although the Aries Department is his trusted tribe, its strength is already quite strong, and if the spoils it gets are too large, it may get out of its control.

But the grass wolf department is different. The grass wolf department is weaker and destined to obey themselves no matter how much spoil they get.

And because they are relatively close and share the same hostile tribe as the Wooden Snake, the leaders of the Aries and Grass Wolf tribes have a better relationship.

Sending the Weedwolves to fight this time, the two of them will definitely have some rifts because of the spoils.Touman is very satisfied with his strategy of killing three birds with one stone, and even feels that he is worthy of supporting the plow and Tugu Shanyu (the Son of Heaven).

Although the ministries were dissatisfied with Shan Yu's decision, they did not dare to resist and chose to obey Shan Yu's order.

But the grass wolf king was stunned by the pie that fell from the world, and immediately knelt down and thanked Shanyu: "Thank you Shanyu, the grass wolf tribe will do our best to give a victory to the great Shanyu, and the supreme god bless Shanyu!" .”

This is one of the reasons why the scholar-bureaucrats looked down on the Huns. The relationship between kings and ministers in the Central Plains is still relatively equal, but the tribal leaders on the grasslands can kneel down and worship the Shanyu without shame.

Although later generations of scholar-officials began to kneel down and worship the emperor after they were invaded by nomads and their spines were broken, now scholar-officials completely look down on this behavior.

But Shan Yu asked the leaders of the various ministries to go back as soon as possible to gather the warriors, and wait until the assembly was completed five days later before starting the southward invasion.The heads of the ministries left one after another, leaving only He Lianwang and Yu Wuwang, two Shanyu's right-hand men.

King Yu Wu's status is slightly higher than that of King He Lian, so he opened his mouth first: "Shanyu, although there are only 15 soldiers in Beidi City, Beidi City is strong and strong, and even [-] warriors may not be able to directly capture it." ah."

King He Lian retorted: "King Yu Wu, we Xiongnu warriors are not good at attacking cities, but there are a total of 15 warriors. Even if we cross Beidi City first and plunder the settlements behind, we can always snatch food, grass and slaves. .”

The Yu Wubu and the Helian tribe are both the largest tribes on the grassland except for the main tribe of the Xiongnu, but because of this, even though the two tribes are Touman Chanyu's confidantes, they have frictions.

Touman knew that the relationship between his two confidants was not good, so he comforted them and said: "I am going to divide the troops into two groups this time. The headquarters, Grass Wolf Department, Aries Department and other 12 warriors will go to face the North. Dungeon.”

He paused, looked at the expectant eyes of the two and continued: "Yu Wutantan and Helian Uwei, you take the remaining [-] warriors around Beidi City and attack the villages behind Qin Beidi City, but you must Go and come back quickly, don't be dragged inside."

"I obey, and may the great god bless Shanyu." King Yu Wu and King He Lian bowed half-kneeling, this is the power that Touman gave to their two confidants, and there is no need to kneel and bow.

In fact, Touman deduced that if Beidi County needed to send troops to attack the south, then the other two counties must also send troops, but Touman also got a message that Fusu, the eldest son of the opposite Qin royal family, was also in Beidi City.

If he could capture Beidi City and capture Fusu, he might be able to exchange a lot of weapons and armor. If the King of Qin didn't give it to him, he would also lack a high-level skull wine cup. Touman smiled sinisterly when he thought about it.

However, this war still needs to be resolved quickly, otherwise the soldiers of Shangjun and Longxi counties are likely to help defend Beidi County.Touman's only worry is this.

Then he also got up and ordered his personal guards to gather the warriors of the headquarters to prepare.

Their great plow, Gutu Shanyu, would take them to plunder the south, bringing them enough food and slaves.
