Nine hundred and fiftieth chapters embark on a journey
Guyan Mountain, the most important mountain tomb outside the holy mountain of the Xiongnu Mountain.
Since the decisive defeat in Mobei, the Xiongnu Shanyuting migrated to the Yuwushui River Basin.
But the annual Tellurium Forest Conference is held here on time.
By then, the four major clans from the Huns and the leaders of other powerful factions will gather here.
Discuss and decides the national policies and strategies of the Huns.
However, today, Shanyu is located thousands of miles away on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
The great power in the country naturally fell into the hands of the mother Zhuanqu family.
As the wife of Shanyu, the mother of the Huns, the Huns, is over fifty years old this year.
Among nomadic peoples, this is already an old age.
Therefore, her appearance was a little old, with wrinkles on her face, and she looked like a thin old woman.
"King Dingling..." Sitting upright on the throne in the dome that belongs to him alone, the mother Yan looked at Wei Lu and his deployments kneeling in front of him in a cold tone: "The Great Shanyu entrusts Hu Jie, Hu Yan, and Lan's cavalry to the king. King Gu Yan also works tirelessly to support the king from Zhao Xincheng..."
"Master, why did you get such a result?"
She trembled with a crutch and stood up and said, "King, how can you be worthy of the Great Shanyu? So how can you go to the Hou Shanyu to apologize?"
"I am guilty of death!" Wei Lu stroked his chest and bowed to thank him: "I have nothing to say, and I am willing to obey my mother, Mrs. Yan!"
The mother, Mrs. Yan, laughed loudly, her voice was even colder than the ice and snow of the cold winter.
"I am just an old woman, how dare I send a chance to King Dingling..." She said softly: "But, I, an old woman, don't understand very much..."
"Since Yin Zhixie Shanyu, the second king has been saying something about 'China's system, dozens of times the method of defeating the Huns'. Since King Ding Ling's Guiyi, he has also been saying in China that 'Today's current situation, if you learn from China, you will be born, and if you don't learn, you will be dead'..."
"Over the years, it has been reforming the laws and regulations, and promoting written education..."
"But after studying for more than 30 years... what are the achievements?"
"In my opinion, it is better to maintain the system and traditions of our ancestors!"
"The clothes and hats of the Han Dynasty were not suitable for the Huns. Their laws and regulations were too complicated for the people who were used to being free and easy to attract bows. Their systems were originally suitable for use in the farming crown belt room..."
"Their food and culture are also incompatible with the people who attract bows..."
"It is still the system and laws formulated by Maodun Da Shanyu and Lao Shang Da Shanyu, which are suitable for our Huns and for the people who attract bows!"
"If you have a fight, you will be successful, but if you don't have a fight, you will be dispersed. You will live by the water and plants. You will be light and simple, and the king and his subjects will be simple, and the whole person will be united!"
"My mother is right..." Countless nobles in the tent respectfully and agreed: "I, the Great Huns, have been like this since ancient times!"
"At the beginning, Maodun Da Shanyu, and the old Da Shanyu, followed the customs of the Xiongnu and controlled a light and simple policy. He attacked the Han Dynasty in the south, destroyed the Donghu in the north, and chased the Yuezhi in the west, and was invincible in the world!"
Wei Lu listened, but could only bow his head and dared not refute.
The nobles behind him all showed indignation, dissatisfaction and resentment.
This is the current situation of the Hun Empire!
The entire Huns' ruling class has been gradually divided by two groups.
Support reform, learn from the reformists of the Han Dynasty, and conservatives who believe that nothing needs to change and follow the ancestral system.
The composition of both is also very interesting.
Conservatives are basically hereditary nobles who do not lead troops in the Huns but occupy power.
The reformists basically all military aristocrats who held military power and were on the front line of fighting for hegemony with the Han Dynasty.
In the past, relying on the support of the Shanyu, the reformists have always gained the upper hand.
But now, the conservatives seized the defeat, attacked and slandered the reformers.
"It's exactly the same as what I thought..." Wei Lu sighed in his heart.
The conservatives of the Huns were still the same as before.
The butt is better than the brain!
Just like now, even though the front line is defeated, the Wang Ting is empty, Guyan Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain are even more in danger.
But they still have time to talk and even think about taking advantage of this opportunity to crack down on and limit the reformists.
"These guys are all worms!" Wei Lu clenched his fists and thought to himself: "If you have the chance, I will clean it up!"
On the surface, he said calmly: "Mother Yan, I think that the most urgent task now is to be prepared for the possible victory attack by the Han Dynasty!"
"Now, the Great Shanyu led the main force of the royal court, far away in Tianshan Mountain, and the royal court was empty. If the Han people came up through the river, they would be able to reach Guyan in half a month and stay in Xushan!"
"I'd like to ask my mother, make a decision as soon as possible!"
Mother Yan listened, turned around and said, "I understand what King Dingling means!"
"I'm not confused yet, old woman!"
"Old woman, I have ordered the Right Xian Wang Sheli to take his headquarters and command Che She and Tuntou, and then the three main forces will go to Nianhou Mountain to set up defenses!"
"The great Hun warriors will prove to King Dingling and Shanyu with their courage and strength that the Huns do not need any reforms, nor do they need to learn from the Han people, and they can still win battles!"
"The great gods and the sun and moon spirits who protect the Huns will protect us!"
When Wei Lu heard this, he bowed respectfully: "I hope so!"
He had no confidence in whether Sheli could be in Nanhou Mountain and block the Han army's offensive!
Not to mention, the Right King and the three cavalrymen he led were all defeated by the Han army. Twenty-seven years ago, the Han cavalry general stepped on the corpses of the three cavalrymen, stepped on the slats of the elite cavalrymen of the Zuo Xianwang headquarters, and swaggered all the way to the foot of Guyan Mountain, and then leisurely Zen Guyan and sealed the wolf-juxu Mountain.
Now, twenty-seven years have passed, and the Han army is stronger than it was back then.
But these people still have no changes from that time.
This army is simply impossible to be a rival to the Han people!
What's more, there was the iron-armored man in the Han army!
Just thinking about the battle of Wolfhara that day, Wei Lu couldn't help but tremble.
That's not something that people can fight against!
Therefore, if you leave here, you will definitely lose!
Once Sheli defeated Houshan, the Han army could quickly cross the Gonglu River and go straight to Guyan Mountain.
Then...
Wei Lu's mouth slightly raised...
"I wonder how many nobles and royal families in Guyan Mountain Dragon City can survive?"
but……
"This is also a good thing..." Wei Lu thought to himself: "It is also the best result under the current situation!"
Let the Han Dynasty kill all the conservatives who blocked the reform, and it would be better to kill them all!
From then on, the reformists among the Huns would have an absolute advantage.
…………………………
On the ninth day of the fourth month of the summer of the second year of Yanhe.
After two days of rest in Langyuan, the main force of the Han army embarked on the journey again.
Thousands of Wugang cars were loaded with various military supplies, and were the first to drive.
The infantry and crossbowmen of the Flying Fox Army walked in a car.
The cavalry led the war horses and followed closely behind.
At the back of the army were thousands of Wu Hengyi and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep driven by them (these were all the livestock of the army sent by Hushe, Nanchi, Zhushui and other departments one after another).
These cattle, sheep and livestock will become the main source of food for the army along the way.
This is very Hun!
Riding on the horse, Zhang Yue looked at the vast army and felt a lot of emotion.
This expedition may be the least consumed expedition in the Han army and even Chinese history!
The army only carried standard dry food, vinegar cloth and sauce.
Most of the food and grass are obtained locally in Munan.
If you return victoriously, you can use this battle to prove to the world the importance of management and stability in the desert.
Maybe it can stimulate the court and put the matter of setting up counties in Munan on the agenda.
Just as we were about to follow the army, dozens of ox and horse carriages arrived unexpectedly in the distance.
Yang Sun took his men off the carriage and came to Zhang Yue. Yingying bowed and said, "I heard that the Lord is going to go on an expedition, so I specially sent some labor cloth..."
As he said that, he asked to remove all the ox carts and the things carried on the carts.
All of them are wool fabrics that Yang Sun bought and woven from Hushe and Yanmen Pass over the past few days.
The snow-white fabric is piled up together, full of texture.
Moreover, they have been further processed and manufactured into blankets or bedding.
After a rough estimate, there were thousands of bedding or blankets.
When Zhang Yue saw this, he quickly dismounted and thanked him: "Madam, I am very proud of you, I am sure to thank you on behalf of all the soldiers of the army!"
With these blankets and bedding.
The non-combat reduction in this expedition can be greatly reduced.
The cold night in Mobei is no longer so terrible.
but……
Yang Sun was willing to give up and took the initiative to send these bedding and blankets instead of selling them to make profits, which greatly changed Zhang Yue's impression and feeling of him.
"My wife's righteous deeds will be reported to the emperor and will be rewarded!" Zhang Yue thanked again.
Yang Sun heard his beloved's words, but he felt very happy, that is, there were so many people, otherwise she would have already rushed into the other party's arms and punched his chest with a small fist.
Even so, he still looked at Zhang Yue with grief and said, "Ming Gong is so serious. How dare the little woman ask for any reward in the court? She just hopes that Mr. Ming will return soon..."
As he said that, he quietly stuffed a sachet into Zhang Yue's hand, lowered his head, and whispered: "You are here to go, don't forget me..."
Zhang Yue grabbed the sachet and rubbed the lines on it. He suddenly felt that the beauty was very kind and couldn't help blurting out: "When I return, if my wife wants to, I am willing to hire her with courtesy..."
When Yang Sun heard this, he was shy and as bright as a little girl, his face flushed, and his heart was even more heart-wrenching. He felt very sweet, and he felt that all the hard work and efforts had finally come to expect.
Perhaps, she and Zhang Yue were simply relying on each other and need each other at first.
However, the so-called love arises over time.
After all, I was involved in this vortex.
