"Liu Cong, the king of the Huns, looked like the leader of the entire tribe and country, just like Liu Yuan. But in fact, compared with Liu Yuan, he was not only experienced but also prestige, but also lacked a lot of names on his body. The most important one was the name of the Great Shanyu!"

In the current era, the Huns are considered to be a race with a deeper in sinicization. The history of sinicization begins with the migration of the Southern Xiongnu. Moreover, the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu in all dynasties mostly intermarried with the Han family, and the bloodline of Yan and Liu are flowing in their royal bloodline. After Liu Yuan rebelled and called himself the King of Han, he had this consideration.

Of course, the deeper reason is to leave a seed first out of some thinking about future politics.

However, no matter how Chinese is, the original customs will not be discarded for a while. Especially after Liu Yuan became independent, he had to rely on ethnic consciousness to win over people, establish consensus, and maintain his own dominance. Therefore, it is appropriate to emphasize the attributes of the Huns themselves, so there are two sets of ruling systems in parallel within the Huns.

Liu Yuan was both the king of the Xiongnu and the Great Shanyu of the Xiongnu, which was equivalent to a team with two names.

However, it is certainly understandable that Liu Yuan's prestige and holding two positions are inappropriate, but once he dies, the successors will be able to suppress the situation when they fight each other.

"After Liu Yuan died, Liu Cong inherited the throne of the king, but because Liu Yuan died a little... in a hurry, he had already started to cultivate his heirs because he was seriously ill during his lifetime, but the matter of power varies from person to person. Some people do not want to let go easily even at the last moment of their lives. This is probably the case with Liu Yuan. Therefore, among his sons, the heir has little authority, and he only has a slight advantage over others. This situation, coupled with Liu Yuan's sudden death, gives other sons a chance."

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi recalled some information about the Huns collected over the past period, including the situation where Liu Cong and his brothers competed for power after Liu Yuan's death.

"It is said that in Liu Yuan's mourning hall, Liu Cong and others had a dispute, and even developed to the point where they wanted to summon guards and almost saw blood. After that, Liu Yi was sent to Luoyang, which was actually a step to seize power. Liu Cong also arranged his confidant Jin Zhun to go with Liu Yi in order to leave time to consolidate his authority, but the development of the matter was beyond his control. After Liu Yi returned, he was pushed out by several forces from the Xiongnu Kingdom. Now he has calmed down the position of the Great Shanyu, commanding the military power of several Xiongnu tribes, which is enough to compete with Liu Cong, but he is at a slight disadvantage."

Chen Zhi knew very well that this situation meant that there were two centers within the Huns, and the decision made by one center could not represent the movement of the entire force.

"At present, Liu Cong's main idea is to recuperate. At the same time, he is still contacting the princes and important officials in the court, wanting to defend Bingzhou and wait for the changes in the Central Plains, so he does not want to use weapons. However, Liu Yi is different. I don't have an accurate source of information on this person. He has shown an attitude of competing with Liu Cong before, and even wants to assassinate me and blame Liu Cong for the chaotic situation. It is logical that there shouldn't be any big moves, but this person's mind is a little unpredictable and difficult to confirm. More importantly, there was a news before that Liu Yao led his troops north, and it might be necessary to contact Rouran."

The previous information was associated with today's viewing scene, which made Chen Zhi feel alert.

He knew that Liu Yao was not in the same position as Liu Cong in the Huns at the moment, and the two sides had a lot of conflicts, so Liu Yao attached himself to Liu Yi and was considered the right-hand man of the Great Shanyu.

"Liu Yao is a man with great ambitions and a capable person. He has made more achievements in history. He suddenly went north. This purpose is indeed worth paying attention to. If it is really as rumored to find Rouran, then we should not be careless. After all, Rouran has left a thick ink in history..."

Naturally, memories about Rouran appeared in his mind. Most of these memories came from historical research in later generations and were quite macro-level information.

The grasslands in the fourth century were also full of melee and division. The forces of the Huns and Xianbei either declined or went south, while the dawn of the Turks and Mongolia had not yet arrived.

In this gap, Rouran, a group that has risen and filled the gap is also mysterious to later generations.

Their original name should be Abal, and there are also despicable names like "Romance".

"According to records, this Rouran is also a branch of the Donghu. It is very likely that it was from the Tuoba tribe. According to the information description, Liu Yao contacted some of the rebel slaves of the Tuoba tribe..."

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes.

Although Rouran seems to be the least present compared to other nomadic empires in the north, Chen Zhi would not be despised by this. There is no simple tribe that can dominate the grassland.

"However, Rouran's true rise was also after the collapse of the Former Qin Dynasty in history. Before that, they were like other tribes, who surrendered to the Former Qin Dynasty, which means that their population and strength were limited in the early stage. Now, it may be regarded as a powerful force and can form an army! If they chose Wang Jun to attack and suddenly went south to attack Daibei New City, the situation would be much more complicated..."

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi's sleepiness gradually disappeared, but he was not good to get up directly, but instead he deduced the situation in his heart and prepared for countermeasures. There is no conclusive evidence at the moment, so he was not able to deal with it in large quantities, otherwise it might shake people's hearts. This is also the reason why he saw the black air today but did not act immediately. It was originally a dinner evaluation, but if it was suddenly interrupted, it would make people guess and make people panic.

However, on the other hand, he also knew very well that if the other party really wanted to do this, there would be no sign.

"It is true that Liu Yao has a grudge with me, but in terms of grudge, the entire Huns have a bad impression of me, but Liu Cong still knows that for the sake of the interests of the ethnic group and the consolidation of authority, he should ease first and engage in trade secretly. Since Liu Yao was able to control a country in his original history, he must be a short-sighted person. If he wants to send troops, he must have something to do. From the perspective of the greatest interests, simply attacking Dai County or distracting my attention and let Dai County be swallowed by Wang Jun is not the biggest! And contacting Wang Jun, the two sides jointly, and agreeing that each has gains is the best choice. So if he wants to attack, he should communicate with Wang Jun, so Wang Jun's surveillance must be a little more focused..."

Thinking of this, all kinds of response measures slowly came to his mind, allowing him to make choices and weigh the pros and cons. The night gradually became deeper, but Chen Zhi couldn't sleep all night.

At this moment, many people in Dai County toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep. It was the people from the aristocratic families who didn't know the results after they returned, and they were even more upset. They just waited for dawn, hoping to hear the rankings as soon as possible.

However, after the Dongfang turned white, the family did not get the desired result, but Chen Zhi got a news that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Then Buddhist Jane and Nie Daoren left Murong and headed south. It is very likely that they were flying to Shile!"
