Chapter 162
As the morning light begins, the morning sun rises, spreading thousands of golden rays of light to the earth, and the earth seems to be covered with a layer of gold.
A man eight feet tall, big and round waist was standing in front of the sun, with his tiger's eyes wide open and staring at the rising sun, as if the rising sun was a magnet and his eyes were iron, motionless.
The breeze blew, blowing his clothes, and being on the prairie, as helpless as a lonely boat in the sea.
This person is no other person, but the famous Maodun. Maodun is the most outstanding leader in the history of the Huns. He is wise, courageous, and broad-minded. Of course, he is also cruel and kills his father in order to ascend to the throne.
"Crown Prince, Prince, good news, good news." A cavalry galloped, and a sound of joy floated from afar.
Maodun still looked at the sun, as if he didn't hear it, and did not move. The visitor rushed to the front, turned over and dismounted, and said excitedly: "Prince, the Great Shanyu sent an army to attack Yuezhi, and he must be welcomed to return to the country."
"You are so happy too early. They are not here to welcome me back, but to send me to see the Kunlun God." Mao Dun did not look back, and still looked at his sun.
The knight was his servant, and it was hard to understand: "The prince was in Yuezhi for more than a year and was always looking forward to returning to the Great Huns. The Great Shanyu sent troops to attack the Yuezhi. What else could he do if he didn't come to welcome the prince?"
Mao Dun turned around suddenly and stared at his servant and said, "The Great Shanyu wants me to return to China. He only needs a messenger, a fast horse is enough. Is it necessary to dispatch the army? When the messenger told the King of Yuezhi, wouldn't it be better to change another hostage?"
The servant knew that Maodun was as good as a god, and there were few things that he could not count as a matter of being missed, but this matter was too difficult to understand. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Prince, if the Great Shanyu did not welcome you back to the country."
What should I send my army to do? That is the 30,000 elite troops of the Great Shanyu headquarters."
"That's because the Great Khan doesn't want me to live one more day in this world!" Maodun said with grief and anger: "Da Shanyu, we are all your sons. Why do you hate me so much and want to kill me? If you want to pass on the Great Khan to your younger brother, you don't need to kill me, right? The people in the Southern Dynasty said that the father is kind and filial to the son is purely fart. If the father is unrighteous, how can the son be filial?"
He glanced at the servant with a confused look on his face. He explained: "Think about it, if the Great Huns started a war with Yuezhi, how would Yuezhi treat the hostages?"
The servant thought for a while and said, "The Yuezhi people are concerned about repaying kindness and taking revenge with revenge. They should kill the hostages." They were shocked and did not dare to continue talking, and said, "The prince is..."
Maodun nodded slightly and said, "You are right, the Yuezhi people will kill me. The Great Chanyu used the Yuezhi people's quick knife to kill me. He dispatched 30,000 elite troops in the unit, which means that his intention to kill me has been decided."
The servant panicked and asked, "Prince, what should we do? Should we escape?"
"Escape, where can I escape? The Yuezhi people are all from the thousands of miles of grassland.
Where can I, a Hun, escape?" Maodun asked helplessly: "The Great Huns and Yuezhi have always had good friends and no hatred. How could a war suddenly break out? What else did you hear?"
The servant thought for a while and said, "Yes. Yes. Prince, I heard that the Great Shanyu suffered a defeat in Hetao, and the troops of the Youxian King lost all their losses, and the army of more than 100,000 people escaped."
Mao Dun clenched his right hand into a fist and said, "That's right, that's right. You know, I advocate that the Great Huns not rush to develop south for now, and concentrate their efforts to unify the grassland tribes.
As long as the Great Huns defeated the Yuezhi Donghu and other grassland tribes, their strength will be greatly enhanced. It is not impossible to compete with the Southern Dynasty and directly attack the Central Plains at that time. It would be unwise to fight with the Southern Dynasty before we were strong."
"Crown Prince, do you still mention this matter? Didn't you offend the Great Shanyu for this matter and send it to the Great Shanyu as a hostage to the Yuezhi?" The servant reminded Maodun.
Maodun shook his head and said, "You only know one thing, not the other. The reason why I was sent to Yuezhi as a hostage is not that my claim is wrong, but that the Great Shanyu wants to depose me. He wants to make my younger brother the crown prince.
So the Great Shanyu went against my own way. I did not advocate going south. He insisted on taking advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Dynasties to start a war with the Southern Dynasties to prove that I was wrong. He was right, to attack my prestige and reputation, and to find a good excuse for him to officially abolish me.
"But the Great Shanyu had never been to the Central Plains, and I don't know how big the Central Plains was. Although the Southern Dynasties continued to have civil strife and disputes continued, that did not mean that they were vulnerable.
The people of the Southern Dynasty fought in an internal battle and killed heavily, but they could still work together to the outside world when encountering foreign races. If we marched towards the Southern Dynasty now, it would be unwise. Isn’t the failure of Hetao the best proof?”
The servant couldn't figure it out and asked, "The prince is right, but the Great Shanyu is wrong. How did the Great Shanyu do such a thing?"
Maodun sneered: "That's because the Great Shanyu was jealous of me. He was afraid that my prestige would exceed him. The people listened to me, so he wanted to kill me.
It was just that he was worried about his reputation as a prince, so he started a war with Yuezhi and used the sword of the Yuezhi people to kill me. What a cruel, what a cruel father!"
Although Maodun in history is a rare nomadic leader, he was not favored at first and almost killed by Touman Shanyu. Unexpectedly, history will come back and the same incident will repeat itself, but it is earlier.
"Prince, what should we do?" The servant was silent.
Maodun looked at the servant and asked, "I ask you, how do I treat you?"
The servant said without thinking, "The prince treats me like a brother, and such kindness is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth."
Maodun asked again: "Would you die for me?"
The servant blurted out: "I am willing. As long as the prince has an order, I am willing to die."
"Okay!" Mao Dun patted each other with both hands and said, "Then you will die for me now."
The servant didn't say anything, pulled out the Hun's scimitar, wiped it around his neck, and Maodun shouted, "Slowly. I understand your heart, you are my Maodun's good brother. Please accept my bow." He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the servant.
The servant panicked and hurriedly came to help each other and said, "Crown Prince, this is not OK, no."
Maodun said in an unchangeable tone: "Your etiquette is what you deserve, don't refuse." After knocking a few times, he stood up, took off his clothes on his body, and said: "Take off your clothes and let's change them.
From now on, you are the prince and I am the servant.”
The servant was so scared that his face turned pale, and the sweat on his forehead was seeping out like water. Maodun took off his clothes and put them on his body without saying a word, "You don't have to go anywhere, just stand here to watch the sun, hold the Yuezhi people, do you understand?"
He nodded blankly and the servant asked, "Where is the prince going?"
"I will go back to the Great Huns, and I will go and save the Great Huns." Maodun said firmly: "The Great Shanyu was defeated by the Southern Dynasty, so he should not have used troops to the Yuezhi.
The most powerful place on the grassland is not our Great Huns, but the Donghu. Once Hetao is defeated, the Donghu will inevitably move and start a war with our Great Huns. If we get into evil with Yuezhi again, Yuezhi and Donghu will attack each other from each other, will the Great Huns not be over? I will rush back now to stop the Great Shanyu from going further.
"The horse flew on the horse, slapped the horse's back, and galloped away.
