Chapter 224 We share the blessings together, but we don’t accept the difficulties together
What nonsense? “I heard people say that the Huns’ iron cavalry traveled across the grassland, coming and going like the wind, making all countries fearful.” The Huns more than 20 years ago The cavalry might be able to do it, but not the current Huns army.
Today's Huns army still has a lot of people, but its fighting will and ferocity can no longer be compared with that of the army back then. It's a pity that they were defeated by Li Mu, and they are gone!
Even though the current Xiongnu army is all young and strong, with lots of blood and courage, there is no one to lead them. As the saying goes, "A soldier is a raging enemy, and a general is raging in a nest."
This is also the reason why the Xiongnu's vitality has improved from the battle more than 20 years ago, but they are still ignored by the Donghu and Yuezhi.
Under the leadership of Mao Dun, the Xiongnu tied up the Donghu, Yuezhi and other countries and beat them, forcing them to join the Xiongnu tribal alliance. It took several generations for the Han Dynasty to gradually get it done, but Touman could only endure the humiliation with his tail between his legs. , then we can know.
If the Huns army wants to transform into a strong army, it needs a strong and outstanding commander. Unfortunately, Touman and these leaders are not the same, and the suitable commander is dead.
Sadly, times create heroes, and heroes also create times. But when the heroes are gone, the times created by their instincts no longer exist!
Tou Man was in an unprecedented bad mood. The bullshit "young wish" was just an excuse. This young general Qin was forcing him to accept the challenge, but he couldn't refuse.
Because not fighting is more terrible than defeat. Defeat can also be said to be because the Qin people are strong. Anyway, it is well known that the Qin people are strong. It is not too shameful to lose to the Qin people.
But if you don't dare to fight, it means you are cowardly and afraid. If you don't even dare to fight, how can you convince the crowd? How can you be a Xiongnu Chanyu?
Since they can't hide, they have no choice but to fight. The Qin people wanted to use this battle to establish their prestige to the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu also took this opportunity to understand the Qin army and find out the reality of the Qin Dynasty.
What if Qiang Qin is just a lookalike, only rumored to be strong, but in reality he falls down with just one poke?
The Qin army coming this time must be the elite of the Qin army. If their Xiongnu cavalry can defeat them, doesn’t it mean that the strength of the Xiongnu cavalry is already superior to that of the Qin army?
At that time, their status with Great Qin can be completely reversed, and they may even be able to go south to play and meet the Qin Emperor.
This wave means losing is not a loss, winning is a gain, Touman thought in his heart, and said with a smile: "Since the general wants to see my Huns cavalry, then it will be as the general wishes, but how will the general see it?"
"Thank Shanyu for permission!"
After Wang Li saluted Touman, he pretended He thought: "The Xiongnu is a country of brothers of the Qin Dynasty. It is not good for the two families to be harmed by their long-term wish. I heard that the Xiongnu is good at riding and shooting, and they are happy to fight with each other. If not, I will compare it with this."
This is a pretty good comparison, but after these comparisons, you can’t see the true military level of both sides, right?
While Touman and others were thinking about it, Wang Li changed the topic: "But on the battlefield, there is more than just cavalry and archery wrestling? Li thought it was also a competition on the battlefield, and General Li personally led 300 Qin cavalry to fight. The same number of Huns' cavalry can be replaced with wooden swords and guns. What does Chanyu think?"
This is what the Qin people want to compete with. They have a head-on confrontation with their Huns cavalry. Tou Man said: "Today is too hasty. The competition is scheduled for three days later. How about it?"
Wang Li nodded and said: "Yes! "
After the Qin envoy withdrew, the faces of Touman and the Xiongnu leaders suddenly became serious and serious. The Qin people's mission was not entirely out of good intentions.
Touman looked at the leaders and asked, "What do you think of the Qin people's words to help us learn Qin literature and understand Qin characters?"
Intuition told them that the Qin people were not so kind. , but for a while they couldn't figure out where there was bad intentions, and this matter was profitable for them, and it would be convenient for them to reap benefits in the future. One leader said: "I thought I could agree to this matter. We will have close contact with the Qin people in the future, and we must cultivate a group of people who can understand Qin language and know Qin affairs. But..."
The people left in the palace are all his own people, so the leader did not hide them: "But these people must be under our control, no matter whether they are teachers sent by the Qin people to teach us, the Xiongnu , or those who study abroad in Qin, it is up to us to decide . As for the specific distribution, it remains the same.”
The other leaders nodded after hearing this. The old rule is to divide the interests according to the strength of their respective tribes. Like Touman, he controls the tribe with the largest population and strength. The strongest, so share the greatest benefits.
Touman asked again: "Do we have to agree to the Qin people for building the city?"
Touman felt that his question was meaningless. How could these people not agree? Even he had already agreed in his heart.
One leader said: "Although the Qin people have bad intentions, this matter is indeed beneficial to us, the Xiongnu, so we can agree."
If they don't agree, how can they make money and enjoy the good things of the Qin people? ?
When they think of living a good life that only the nobles of Qin can live in the future, and using things that even the Emperor of Qin uses, everyone feels a little relieved.
The people of Qin are not kind, and they may have a conspiracy against them, but the things of the Qin people are indeed better than those of the Xiongnu, and the lives of the nobles of the Qin people are obviously better than theirs.
They are indeed the Chanyus and leaders of the Xiongnu, but this does not affect their use of Qin people's things. Work and life must be clearly distinguished.
This item also passed smoothly, and Touman said again: "Qin General Wang Liyan wants to personally lead 300 Qin troops to compete with our Xiongnu cavalry. I have agreed to this matter, but the person for my Xiongnu cavalry has not yet been decided..."
Seeing that no leader answered the call this time, Touman secretly scolded these people for being cunning and cunning. They would take the initiative to post if there was any benefit, and pretend to be deaf and dumb when there was trouble. It was obvious that he wanted to select warriors from the major tribes to form a Xiongnu coalition army, so now one by one He didn't say anything and started pretending to be dead.
A bunch of insects!
But Touman himself had no good intentions. He did not directly use the warriors of his own tribe. Instead, he asked all the leaders to recruit people. The purpose was to share the responsibilities equally and tie everyone to the same rope.
If anything happens on the day of the competition with the Qin army, everyone is responsible. No one can escape. If the Qin people come over, it is best for everyone to go shoulder to shoulder.
Sensing Touman's unkind gaze, he led the way: "Since the Chanyu has to respond to this matter, why not choose the Chanyu's soldiers to compete with the Qin army. The Chanyu's soldiers can conquer and fight well. They are the number one among the Xiongnu and we may win." Passing the Qin army, in front of the Qin people Go ahead and show off the power of the Huns, so that they will never underestimate us again."
Other leaders quickly followed, echoing, and praised Touman's Xiongnu soldiers as the only ones in the sky and the only ones on the ground. The most powerful army in the world.
Seeing the faces of these people, Touman wished he could greet their faces with his feet, but how could Touman let them escape? He said forcefully: "Mowu will send out twenty soldiers, Huta, you will send out ten." Five soldiers..."
Touman directly decided the number of people. No one could escape. The leaders saw that Touman was no longer polite to them, so they had no choice but to accept it.
