Chapter 178 Young Man Maodun
In the north of the Qin Dynasty, although the sun has risen, the chill in the air has not receded. A city stands proudly in a mountain range, breathing in the winter sunshine and cold air.
This city is not small in size. Its style is similar to the city of Da Qin, but it is different. There are fortresses and soldiers stationed on the hills and mountain roads near the city.
If anyone who knows the military takes a look at these fortresses, he will know that the fortresses are all set up in dangerous places and must have been built by those who are knowledgeable in military affairs.
The buildings in the city are the same as the city. Although they refer to the architecture of Da Qin, they have a unique style that does not belong to Da Qin.
Because this is not the territory of Qin, but the Huns.
At this time, the Xiongnu were in the ascendant stage. They were far from as powerful as they were during the Han Dynasty, but they were already a powerful force on the grassland.
Taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains at the end of the Warring States Period, under the leadership of the leader Touman Chanyu, he crossed the Yinshan Zhao Great Wall, captured the Hetao area, and built this city in the Yinshan Mountains north of the Hetao—— Head to Manchester City.
There is a palace-like building in the city. In the largest and most majestic building, many leaders of the Huns gathered here.
Normally, they would not gather so many people in one place. They would stay in their respective tribes. Only for important matters would Touman call them here.
Naturally, they are here for a big event today: According to the news coming back from the south, the King of Qin who destroyed the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, and Wei has proclaimed himself emperor, and has changed from King of Qin to "Emperor of Qin" and "Emperor of Qin". Emperor Qin"!
If King Qin just changed the title and it was not enough for them to mobilize troops and gather here, then King Qin might have to attack them after calling him emperor.
After receiving the news from Touman's people, the leaders of the major Xiongnu tribes could not sit still.
They don’t think they are weak, but think they are very strong, ferocious wolves on the grassland.
But facing the country called "Qin" in the south, no one dared to say that they could defeat it. They only felt heavy pressure.
One of the six kingdoms destroyed by Qin was the State of Zhao, and the State of Zhao was the country where the terrifying Li Mu existed.
Some leaders who participated in that battle can still remember the tragic scene of that day. One hundred thousand Huns cavalry were wiped out, and even the earth was dyed red with the blood of the Huns. After returning, the cry resounded throughout the grassland that year.
The battle frightened them and they did not dare to look south for more than 20 years. It was not until the seven countries in the south started fighting and Zhao went to fight against Qin that they dared to sneak back, but they did not dare to Too ostentatious.
Now, the State of Zhao has been destroyed, and Li Mu is said to be dead, but Qin who destroyed Zhao has been replaced by Qin. Zhao has beaten them to the point where they are all looking for teeth. Will Qin who destroyed Zhao be any worse?
The answer to this question is obvious: no, I’m afraid it will be stronger!
Although I heard that Li Mu did not die in battle, but was removed by Qin people through trickery, Qin will never be weak!
Such a Qin is suspected of being hostile to them and may take action against them. How can he not make them feel like they are facing a formidable enemy?
Several bonfires were lit in the hall, making the hall extremely warm. Under the light of the bonfires, all the leaders looked solemn.
Touman sat in the upper position and looked at the leaders. You are afraid of Da Qin, and I am afraid too, but it is not a problem to remain silent. The problem is before you, and you have to find a way to solve it, right?
Touman said: "This is the news coming back from the south. The Emperor of Qin has great ambitions. He has destroyed Zhao Yan and other countries. He may not look at us in the next step. ”
The leaders still didn't say anything. They were really scared of being beaten by Li Mu. How many people were there in the Huns and how many people controlled the strings?
Li Mu killed a hundred thousand men in one battle. Now facing a Qin who may be even more cruel than Li Mu, how can we not be afraid?
The Chanyu asked them to say, what can they say, should they fight to the death with Qin, or should they not shoot an arrow and migrate on their own before the Qin army arrives?
There was also a young man in the hall. Seeing his father and the tribal leaders' attitude toward Qin Wenzhi, who was afraid of him like a tiger or a wolf, he felt angry: They are all a bunch of trash, and Qin Huan They were already so fearful even before they were attacked. What kind of prairie eagles or wolves could they be?
This group of insects will never be able to lead the Huns to prosperity. The impatience and disdain in the young man's eyes flashed away.
He is very smart and knows that before he is old enough to take power, the Huns are still in the hands of this group of insects headed by his father, and he still needs to lie dormant.
But the silence in the hall made him bored, and there were some things he didn't want to say, and after learning the news from the south, he also had other plans in mind.
The young man said: "Chanyu, all the leaders, Qin has not yet attacked, and you are already so scared. In my opinion, why are you still discussing what to do? It is better to go back to each place, wash your necks, and wait for Qin Someone has come and chopped it up."
These words instantly broke the dull atmosphere in the hall and attracted everyone's attention.
A leader looked at the young man and said: "Although you are the son of Shan Yu, what do you know? How can Qin destroy Zhao and kill Li Mu?"
Facing the eyes of everyone , the young man is not afraid and calm He glanced at the leaders in the palace, and then said: "I don't know anything, and I don't know about Li Mu, Zhao Guo, or Qin State, but I know one thing: I will never lose before fighting the enemy. Fighting spirit.”
"Whether you can defeat the enemy can only be known by fighting on the battlefield, instead of being timid and afraid of this and that before the war begins."
"The Qin people have not yet decided to attack us. Everyone, So I'm afraid that if someone comes in What will the people of Qin think of me, the Xiongnu?”
“I am afraid that I will laugh out loud. The Emperor of Qin may not have wanted to send troops at first, but after hearing that you are so timid, he will send troops. ! ”
The young man said impassionedly: "A group of cowardly people, as soon as the Qin army arrives, they must not immediately abandon their helmets and armor and surrender. If I were the Emperor of Qin, I would definitely send troops!"
When the leaders heard what the young man said, After mocking them, they all looked angry.
One person couldn't bear it any longer, veins popped up on his face, and he said to the young man: "How brave, when we are going to fight with Shanyu on the battlefield, you don't even have a hair on your head, you are worthy of mocking me?"< br>
Another tribe leader said: "You mean to let When we go to war with the Qin army, do we know the consequences? "
Unable to stand the young man's ridicule, many tribal leaders said to the effect that the yellow-haired boy is not sensible and deserves to point us out. Some even asked the young man and They went out to practice and compete to see who was better.
The young man calmly accepted these ridicules and questions, and only replied calmly: "You fear Qin like a tiger, but you are quite confident in me. If you can do the same to Qin, how can you be afraid of Qin?"
You are submissive and timid towards the Qin Dynasty, but you dare to strike hard at a young man like me. How ridiculous are you guys?
Many leaders in the hall were choked immediately, their necks were so tight and their faces turned red, but it was really difficult to refute the young man's words.
At this moment, Touman, who had been watching the conversation between the young man and the leaders, said: "Okay, let's take a chance!"
The young man is Touman Shanyu His son, the next generation Chanyu who made the Xiongnu truly strong - Maodun.
