Chapter 23 The new owner of the grassland (2)
Hearing Mao Dun's murderous words, Ji Du knew that he had aroused Mao Dun's murderous intention. He knew that as long as Mao Dun became the Great Chanyu of the Huns, he could slowly implement his plan. He could not wait any longer.
It's been long enough, and I don't want to wait until Touman dies and Maodun succeeds to the throne before taking action against Qin.
Mao Dun then shook his head and said, "No, I can't just kill that good-for-nothing, otherwise the Chanyu will attack me."
"What? He just wanted to kill his brother first?" Ji Du didn't expect that he would think "wrongly", so he woke up quickly and said: "Since you can't kill your brother, why not kill the person who blocked your way?
How about getting rid of it?”
"You mean..." There was a look of surprise in Mao Dun's eyes. He didn't expect that the person he turned out to be was more courageous than himself. He had never thought of killing Shan Yu Zili, but carefully
It's not impossible when I think about it. After all, there are rules in the grassland, that is, the weak eat the strong, the winner is king, and the loser can only die. They don't talk about loyalty and filial piety, only strength. Thinking of this, his anxiety became
After settling down, he looked at Ji Yu and said, "Do you think I have the strength to deal with the Great Chanyu?"
"Although the prince doesn't have many soldiers and horses now, as long as he uses the right method, even just a few people can kill Touman Shanyu."
"What can I do?" Mao Dun asked hurriedly.
"The prince needs a group of soldiers who are truly loyal to you and willing to die for you. With their help, the prince can suddenly get rid of the Shanyu. And after getting rid of the Shanyu, as long as the prince's actions are appropriate, there will be no cause for concern.
If there is too much chaos, then the prince can become my great chanyu of the Xiongnu, and then take the Yuezhi from the west, and go south to the Central Plains to become the overlord of the world."
Hearing the prospect that Ji Du described to him, Mao Dun felt that killing his father would be justice for heaven. He picked up the mutton in the basin, put it in his mouth, chewed it and said, "Then is there any way you can kill Shan?"
How about getting rid of it?"
"It depends on whether the prince's soldiers will listen to the prince's words and whether they will absolutely obey your orders."
"Oh? What do you mean by this? I have hundreds of dead soldiers under my command, all of them are loyal to me. Will they still disobey my orders?"
"Then let's give it a try." Ji Du said, explaining his own method.
"This...Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Prince, you can give it a try tomorrow. Remember to make clear rewards and punishments, and enforce orders and prohibitions." Ji Du finally gave instructions.
The next day on the grassland, Mao Dun was hunting with his followers. When the bow was opened, a wild beast fell under their arrows. It was indeed possible to see the accuracy of their arrow skills. Suddenly, Mao Dun stopped hunting.
He turned around and asked the dead soldiers: "Are you my most loyal subordinates? Do you keep my words in mind?"
"Yes! Yes!" The dozens of dead soldiers responded in unison.
"Okay, then have you seen the rattling arrow in my hand?" Mao Dun said and took out a rattling arrow, "From today on, your arrows will follow the direction of my rattling arrow, wherever my rattling arrow will go.
, your arrows must also hit their target, can you do it?"
All the dead soldiers who followed him hurriedly said in unison: "We will definitely follow the prince's instructions. Wherever your noisy arrows go, our arrows will also go."
"I hope you can do this. If anyone can't do it, I will kill him!" Mao Dun said and shot out an arrow, hitting a wild deer. Everyone else also shot out.
Zhongye Lu. Mao Dun had a look of satisfaction on his face.
After everyone followed him to hunt for a while, he jumped off his horse and walked to a small river to wash his face. The attendants next to him also started to dismount to wash their faces and drink water. Suddenly, Maodun unloaded his bow and arrow, and he shot a loud arrow.
He turned towards his mount which was parked not far away. The mount was frightened and suddenly raised its front hooves and let out a neighing sound.
Several of the dead soldiers were stunned, and then they thought of Mao Dun's instructions and hurriedly opened their bows and shot at the horse. However, many others did not dare to attack Mao Dun's mount and stayed there. They thought it was
Maodun missed his shot.
"Chaha, why don't you shoot?" Moton asked.
"I..." Chaha hesitated when he heard Maodun's words and couldn't answer.
"If you don't obey my orders, you will die." With a wave of his hand, someone came up and killed several dead soldiers. The screams of the people before they died and the screams of the horses before they died were mixed together, which made people listen.
Very sad.
After this, no matter where Maodun's arrow shot, the arrows of his followers appeared, and no one dared to hesitate.
After the hunting was completed, Modun led everyone back to his camp. It was nightfall, and the smell of barbecue wafted from every tent.
Hearing the sound of Moton's horse's hooves coming back, everyone in the tent came out to greet them. The first person was Moton's concubine Layin. With a sweet smile on her face, she ran in front of Moton's horse and wanted to pull him away. Unexpectedly,
Without saying a word, Mao Dun pulled out a loud arrow and shot it in her chest.
Because of the lesson learned last time, this time when they saw Mao Dun's arrow hitting his concubine, except for the three of them, the other dead soldiers shot the long arrows in their hands into La Yin's chest. Her words
The words to welcome Mo Dun back were struck by arrows before he could say them out.
"Kill those three people who didn't shoot arrows." There was no emotion in Mao Dun's words. "You have done a good job. I will reward you heavily." After saying that, he walked into his tent, leaving only
The shocked crowd was everywhere.
When Ji Du saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel frightened by the cruelty of Mao Dun's methods, but he knew that it was only because of this kind of iron-blooded skills that these dead soldiers could truly obey the orders and prohibitions.
Hundreds of horses galloped on the grassland. The animals in the distance ran away when they heard the sound of their horses' hooves. It was the overlord of the grassland, Shan Yutouman of the Huns, who came with his people to hunt. These few hundred people were just
They were fast nobles who followed him, and there were thousands of people following him, so they were not afraid that other small tribes would be disadvantageous to them.
Following Touman closely was his eldest son Modu. Modu suddenly shot an arrow and hit a running hare. At this time, one of his followers went up and picked it up.
"Modun, your archery skills are so good!" Touman praised.
"The Chanyu complimented me." Maodun just said lightly.
Touman glanced at him strangely, wondering what happened to his son today that he suddenly became so cold.
In fact, Mao Dun is very nervous now, because he is going to kill Tou Man today. Tou Man does not know that half of the hundreds of people who followed are Mao Dun's cronies. He has made up his mind not only to kill Tou Man, but also to kill Tou Man.
Man also wanted to get rid of some nobles who were loyal to him.
Everyone advanced for a while, and then stopped when they felt that the horsepower could not keep up. Touman jumped off the horse and looked around, but there were not many prey, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that today's prey was actually smart. It seems
We're going home empty-handed."
"I don't think so." Mao Dun suddenly interrupted him coldly.
"Modun, what do you mean? You dare to talk to me like this today." Touman said angrily.
"What I want to say is that today's biggest prey is here, and the other prey ran away." Mao Dun said as he opened his bow and nocked an arrow.
"Where is the prey?" Touman looked around strangely.
"That's you!" After saying that, Mao Dun's ringing arrow had already shot out and went straight to Touman's chest. After the training in the past few days, Modun's soldiers had completely obeyed Mao Dun's ringing arrow order.
The moment they hit Touman, their feather arrows had already shot over, turning the Xiongnu chanyu into a hedgehog in just one stroke.
"Ah!" The other nobles screamed when they saw this scene, and they were all at a loss. At this time, Maodun had already ordered people to kill them. In just one bucket of goat's milk, all the tribesmen of the Huns who were loyal to Touman were killed.
The clan leaders had all been killed by Modun. Looking at their corpses, Modun said coldly: "Let's go back and tell everyone the news."
More than a hundred riders turned around and ran toward the thousands of people behind them.
It went well beyond Moton's expectations. The warriors of all ethnic groups who found out that their leader had been killed by Moton did not attack in groups. Instead, they acquiesced to this fact. Maybe there really is no such thing as loyalty among the Xiongnu, but only interests.
and strength. Under Ji Du's plan, Mao Dun made these people the leaders of his own tribe, and they naturally became Mao Dun's supporters.
Then, under the leadership of Mao Dun, they fought towards Tou Man's camp.
Modun led his men into Touman's tent as quickly as possible, and started killing his brother whom he hated and Touman's Yan family. He watched as the person he hated fell to his butcher's knife.
Mo Dun felt indescribably happy. After killing them, Mo Dun ordered their bodies to be burned together with Tou Man's tent.
Looking at the burning tent, Modu knew that his time had come.
"Chanyu, I'm afraid there are still many tribes who will be dissatisfied with your actions and rebel, and there are also the Yueshi in the west..." A confidant of Maodun said to the man who looked at the blazing fire with great satisfaction.
Moton said.
"Don't worry, I already have a way to deal with them. It won't be long before I become the real master of this grassland."
Ji Du on the side saw his look and didn't know whether what he did was right or not, but he knew that no matter whether it was right or not, since he had taken this step, he had to keep going. Only in this way can his wishes be fulfilled.
achieved.
The grassland has ushered in its true master, and a powerful Xiongnu is about to rise.
But in an inconspicuous little tent that they couldn't see, a few pigeons were released. Those pigeons were all heading in one direction, and that was Shangjun...
