Zhou Yang opened the silk and looked at it. The dense small characters were full of powerful and powerful. He knew it was from everyone's hands at first glance. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: People say that Ma Qian, the Taishi Company, is so good, but he didn't expect his father to be so!

Of course, this is Zhou Yang's understanding of history mainly comes from textbooks. Sima Tan is a great master of his generation. It can be said that without Sima Tan, there would be no historical book "Records of the Grand Historian" that has been famous throughout the ages.

Because many historical materials were prepared by Sima Tan, and Sima Tan also wanted to write a historical book that has been passed down through the ages, but failed to do so. Sima Qian inherited his father's business and completed the "Records of the Grand Historian".

"Yang'er, please keep it first and talk to your father. You can come back once." Zhou Yang was about to read, but he gave up Zhou Yafu's thoughts.

I had to put away the silk and talk to Zhou Yafu. Not long after, Xu Ru came, and the three of them sat around, talked about family matters, and talked about interesting things, which were more about Zhou Yang's training. Even if there was a detail, Xu Ru had to ask clearly.

Whenever she heard Zhou Yang complete one training task after another, she always raised her head with joy. Once she heard Zhou Yang was exhausted and heartbroken, her tears were almost shedding. Zhou Yang had to change the topic, say good things, not bad things.

After dark, we served wine and dinner. The three of us drank and chatted. We kept midnight before we finished our joy.

Back in the room, Zhou Yang washed his feet, jumped onto the couch, put on a short desk, spread out the silk and read it.

The Han Dynasty's couch was low and wide, and it had two functions: one was to sleep, and the other was to sit. When not sleeping, take off the bedding and put a short table on it to read and drink tea, which is very convenient.

"The Huns were the Miao people of their ancestor Xia and Hou clan, called Chunwei. There were Shanrong, Huanghu, and Meat Porridge in the Tang and Yu, and they lived in the Northern Barbarians and moved with the livestock. Their livestock were horses, cattle, and sheep, and their strange livestock were swaying, donkeys, savages, savages, savages, and savages. They migrated by water and grass, and did not always have farming properties in the city and the city, but they also had their own land. Do not write documents and use words as constraints. Children could ride sheep, lead bows and shoot birds and rats; they were young and were shot as foxes and rabbits, and used as food. The military could savage bows and all were armored. The customs were wide, and they followed the animals. When they were shot and hunted, they were born. When they were urgent, they were used to fight and attack to invade, which was their nature." The first paragraph of silk explained the origin of the Huns.

Zhou Yang pursed his lips tightly, and these words were unreliable at first glance. Even if the ancestor of the Huns was Chunwei, the descendant of Dayu, it was two or three thousand years ago.

After so many years of development, the Huns have long changed. The Central Plains have had the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Huns have also changed dynasties. The current Huns are definitely not descendants of Chunwei.

Furthermore, even if Chunwei went to the Huns, whether he really became the Huns' Shanyu is beyond the history of proof, no one can tell, because the Huns have no written records, the historical truth has long been drowned in the dust of history.

The following words lifted Zhou Yang's spirits and wrote very detailedly about the national conditions of the Huns.

The leader of the Huns was called Shanyu, and he proclaimed himself "Da Shanyu". What surprised Zhou Yang was that Shanyu was not satisfied with the title of "Da Shanyu", and even called him "under the sun and the moon, above the desert, the kings of all kings, and the Great Khan of the Huns".

In addition to the Shanyu, there were also civil and military ministers such as the left and right wise kings, the left and right Guli kings, the left and right great commanders, the left and right Guduhou, and other civil and military ministers, assisting the Shanyu in governing the Huns.

The ministers of the Huns were hereditary, which was the "member officials" mentioned in history books. They did not choose wise men and abilities like the Han Dynasty. This is the shortcoming of the Huns. Not everyone in aristocratic families is virtuous and talented.

There are many families of the Xiongnu. The four surnames Lan, Huyan, Xubu and Qiulin are the four most famous families of the Xiongnu, and the main power of the Xiongnu is controlled by these four families.

Among these four major families, the Huyan clan is the most noble, with the position on the left (the left is the noble), and the Lan and Xubu are the right, followed by. Their main responsibility is to determine the severity of the prison, determine the importance of the verdict, and the verbal Shanyu knows because the Huns have no writing.

In addition to these ministers, there are also titles of "king" and "hou". Such as King Kunxie, King Xiutu, King Lutu, King Aola, King Lihan, King Xiuxun, King Otu, King Xiqi, King Yougaolin, King Gugunu, and King Guyizhizi. These kings are mainly tribes affiliated to the Xiongnu.

Hou was a higher-level title, mainly from the Han people who surrendered to the Huns.

Zhou Yang's understanding of the Huns mainly comes from history textbooks, and he has learned very little. After reading this, I have to sigh that Sima Tan has put a lot of effort into this.

After introducing the official system of the Xiongnu, the military organization of the Xiongnu was introduced. Although the Xiongnu grew up on horseback and was skilled in riding and shooting, they still made some orders, although they were not as strict as the Han Dynasty.

From the right wise king to the main vassal, the larger ones are ten thousand cavalry, and the smaller ones are thousands, called "ten thousand cavalry". The army has thousands of long, hundreds of long, and the same long, the small king, the prime minister, the title of the commander, the main vassal, and the vassal. The weapons used by the Xiongnu army include bows, arrowheads, crossbows, swords, swords, spears, axes, and meteor hammers. These weapons are mainly bronze weapons, and there are very few iron weapons.

The reason is that the Huns could not smelite and had to trade with the Han Dynasty for iron. However, the Han Dynasty had the foresight to prohibit the trade of iron tools, which made it difficult for the Huns to use iron weapons.

As for crossbows, there were also crossbows in the Huns, but very few, very few, not as many as the Han Dynasty and had such strong strength.

After reading the military part of the Huns, Zhou Yang nodded secretly. His own judgment was that the Han Dynasty's greatest advantage over the Huns was civilization and technology, which was extremely correct!

To defeat the Huns, it will not be a problem to just take advantage of this advantage.

The following part is more detailed, which is about the living customs of the Huns and the common term used by the Huns. The original meaning of "Qi" is beautiful, and later became the honorific title of Queen Shanyu. In the Huns, it is "Utula".

The final part made Zhou Yang feel passionate, which was about the wars in China against the Huns. Although there was the siege of Emperor Gaozu of Han, there were more victories.

As early as the Warring States Period, the Yan people, Qin, attacked Hu and achieved great victory. There was also a powerful King Wuling of Zhao, who had a stubborn and slept with Hu, and created a powerful Zhao army. On the southern foot of Yinshan, he used 150,000 to defeat more than 300,000 Xiongnu people and beat the corpses everywhere. Only tens of thousands of remnants of the Huns escaped.

Zhou Yang's historical knowledge was limited, and he didn't understand these two battles and read them with relish. Under Sima's narration of the wonderful writing of the flower, his blood was boiling.

Queen Wuling, also known as Li Mu, the heroic song of defeating the Huns and traversing thousands of miles from Hu, Zhou Yang was also very excited to see it.

The whole article ends with Meng Tian leading an army of 300,000 to fight the Huns in the Hetao area. Under Sima Tan's wonderful writing, this war is vivid and vivid, as if it is in the scene.

"Will Meng Tian rise again? The Huns run rampant?" Sima Tan concluded with this.

When the Qin Dynasty fought against the Huns in Hetao, many ministers disdained and scolded the Qin Dynasty for being cruel and ignorant of the people's strength. Zhou Yang was surprised when he saw it for the first time when he saw it. Then he thought that the historians were historians after all, and their evaluations were more objective, unlike those scholars who blindly defame them.

Of course, this also shows a problem. It is already the general trend to defeat the Huns, although there is still a long way to go!
