11, the Huns

Yan Xing was also very happy to see Xu Huang finally staying. When the hero got to know him at a low point, he was most likely to make friends with him. He decided to go early tomorrow to invite Xu Kun to come forward to expound the civilians, and then took Xu Huang and attacked Baibo Gu. After Xu Huang, who had made contributions, he entered the roster and other matters in the army. He invited Xu Huang to his tent and sleep with him so that he could communicate with him.

Xu Huang naturally did not refuse, so Yan Xing and Xu Huang stood up with their arms and walked out of the tent. Before Gan Ling left, he looked at Ma Lin again, turned around and walked back, and said in his ear:

"Young Master was really angry about that incident just now. You can take good care of yourself. Have a good rest tonight and attack the Battle of Baibo Valley. You have to perform well, otherwise I will not be able to help you!"

When Ma Lin heard this, his excited expression fell down immediately. He asked hesitantly:

"No, I saw that Shaojun was still very excited just now. Although he did have some opinions about me, it wasn't that far!"

"Young Master's thoughts are not something you can guess thoroughly. Just rest and try your best to kill the enemy tomorrow."

Gan Ling patted Ma Lin on the shoulder and said no more. In fact, he had doubts in his heart and couldn't figure it out. Yan Xinghe suddenly changed his attitude towards Ma Lin and Xu Huang, but he also knew that even if he asked Yan Xing now, he would probably only laugh and not answer, or just say it.

After Gan Ling gave Ma Lin instructions, he immediately stood up and left.

He left Ma Lin to stay in the tent. After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out what was going on. Instead, he became sleepy. He yawned and stopped thinking about these annoying questions. He thought that he would just kill the enemy as Gan Ling said. He got up and returned to his couch, fell asleep with his head down. After a while, a rumble of snoring sounded.

···

At the same time, outside Wenxi City, the Hun cavalry, who had been less than a thousand people, also held a group of horses and hid their hooves, and came to the vicinity of Wenxi City. Wenxi's place was connected to the remnants of Jishan in the west, and there were many mountains to the west, which was conducive to the cavalry hiding their traces and storming at night.

Xubugen leaned against his horse, soothing the beast's hot temper, took out a handful of black beans from the bag on the saddle, and served the old man who was about to charge to the battlefield later to eat. His dark horse has been with him for nearly two years. When the Xiongnu royal court fell, the right wise king Yu Fuluo led them, the Xiongnu hero, to the Han area, and went through countless hardships. He himself was at a loss, but he was able to escape danger every time, thanks to this beast with a hot temper but quite flexible temper.

After feeding the horse, Subugen bent down and leaned against the horse to rest. He had a big head, squid legs, thick hands and feet, and a strong torso. The lines of his entire body seemed to be chopped out casually on an old tree root with an axe.

Most of the people around him were Hun cavalry with bare foreheads and only small braids. They came to harass the Han army in Linfen under the order of Fuluo. If possible, they would also explore the direction of the main force of the Qing Han army. It was better for Baibo, and the Huns were ready to siege the city and attack the aid in advance.

At present, he discovered that another Han army of about 20,000 troops headed north and stationed outside Wenxi City at night. He was one of the only thousand commanders under Yu Fuluo, and he also had nearly a thousand cavalrymen in the headquarters of the Huns. He fought very fiercely on weekdays, so tonight he was planning to take advantage of the opportunity when the Han army was tired from afar and unstable camp to attack the Han army camp at night.

Looking at the Huns who were silent and silent beside him, Subugen tightened his leather robe. It was almost November now, and the frost was very heavy at night. Even though he had been tempering and beating his strong body on the battlefield, he felt a chill at this time.

The Hun cavalry around them were also felt hats, leather robes, and leather armor. They gathered with the horses to preserve the heat on their bodies. Some were closing their eyes and sleeping to nourish their spirits for the battle later; some were moving their bodies occasionally to maintain the flexibility of their hands and feet. Xubugen looked at the people around him for a while, a little boring, and then looked back at the full moon in the sky.

The moon tonight was very round. Although it was not bright, it had a bit more hazy beauty in Subugen's eyes before the war. For a moment, he began to think about it again. Not only did he think about it in his heart, he didn't know whether the moon in the Xiongnu royal court was so round.

Ordinary people in the Hun tribe have no surnames. If they depend on that tribe, they follow the surnames of that tribe. Only the Hun nobles who have served for generations can have their own surnames. Fortunately, Subugen is such a Hun noble.

His surname is Xubu, which is one of the only a few noble surnames among the Huns. The ancestors of the Subu clan, according to the rules, became nobles and high-ranking officials who assisted the Shanyu in charge of tribal lawsuits. Moreover, the beauty of their Subu clan was also famous among the Hun tribes. Like the Huyan clan, they often married Shanyu and produced several Yan clans.

Unfortunately, the Great Huns are now declining, and they are getting worse and worse. In the former Han Dynasty, after several wars with the Han Empire, the Huns were already seriously injured. They encountered the severe cold and snowy weather rare in the grasslands for hundreds of years, and countless livestock and populations were killed or injured. Later, a civil war broke out between the five Shanyus and each of them occupied one grassland, which eventually developed into a mutual attack between Huhanye Shanyu and Zhizhi Shanyu.

The weaker Huhanye Shanyu attached himself to the Han Dynasty and was the Southern Xiongnu. Under the leadership of Zhizhi Shanyu, the Northern Xiongnu was quite tough and unwilling to bow to the Han Empire, turn his horse's head, and manage the West with all his heart. He defeated Dayuan, Wusun and other countries, forced all ethnic groups from all directions to pay tribute, and once led the brief revival of the Xiongnu. Later, Zhizhi Shanyu met Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou. So after a Han-Hungarian War in the Western Regions, Zhizhi Shanyu's head was chopped off by the Han generals. The Northern Xiongnu tribes were either killed or injured, or fled far away, and were destroyed.

At the beginning of this dynasty, the Huns took advantage of the chaos during the Xinmang period. When the Han Empire was too busy to take care of themselves, they led their troops to reoccupy most of the former lands of the Huns in the south of the desert. The momentum was restored and they once again posed a threat to the Han Empire. Unfortunately, not long after, there were turmoils within the Huns during the Jianwu period to fight for the throne. The Huns were killed by the nobles of each other. King Rizhubi led their troops to join the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Huns were once again divided into the Southern Huns and the Northern Huns.

The Northern Huns were exhausted and rushed after being attacked by the Han Empire, the Southern Huns, the Xianbei people, the Dingling people, and the Western Regions countries. Finally, the soldiers were separated, some continued to migrate westward, and some integrated into the Xianbei tribes rising on the grassland, and some tribes returned to the embrace of the Southern Huns.

During the hundreds of years of turmoil, the Subu family, with the swords of warriors in the tribe and the breasts of beautiful women, rose and fell one after another, but they finally did not lose their status as a noble in the Hun tribe.

However, the power of the Southern Xiongnu was declining. The Huns, who were regarded as guardians by many officials of the Han Empire, have been suppressed. Later, there were vicious incidents in which Chen Gui, the general of the Xiongnu, forced the Shanyu and the Zuoxian to death on the charge of "the Shanyu could not control it." Zhang Huan, the general of the Northern Xiongnu, submitted a memorial to dismiss the position of Che'er Shanyu, and Zhang Xiu, the general of the Xiongnu, privately killed the Shanyu.

The Huns who were living under others swallowed their anger, but their situation did not improve. In addition to external troubles, there were also internal troubles. The Luanti headquarters of the Xiongnu Shanyu was originally the most powerful, but since the internal struggle and the weakening of the Han Empire, the strength of the Shanyu headquarters has become increasingly declining. Instead, the descendants of Xiu Tu and Aries, who were conquered by the Maodun Da Shanyu in the former Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Huns and other branches of the Huns began to replace the Luanti headquarters of the Xiongnu Shanyu and became the most powerful force among the Xiongnu tribes.

The branches are larger than the root, and the tibia is larger than the tibia. If it is not broken, it must be covered. Therefore, in the fourth year of Zhongping, the Han Empire recruited the Xiongnu Yi and joined troops to fight against the Wuhuan, and slaughtered the tribes of the Gaga tribes and incited the people. Not only did they kill Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, but they also besieged the Xiongnu royal court located in Meiji, Xihe County, killed Qiangqu Shanyu, and also supported Xubugudu Hou as Shanyu.

The right wise king Yu Fuluo suddenly became a stray dog ​​who could not return home. He and Xubugen and others came to join the Han Empire in a mess with thousands of remaining troops. Unfortunately, the Han court was busy fighting for power at that time with eunuchs, relatives and literati and officials at the time, and had great momentum outside. The rebels in Liangzhou who invaded Sanfu and the Wuhuan rebels who had already supported the emperor in Youzhou, so they did not send troops to help Yu Fuluo regain the throne of Shanyu.

As a result, Yu Fuluo was stranded in the Han area, and his three or four thousand Hun cavalrymen were ate and chewed horses. The Japanese territory gradually became embarrassing, so he turned against the Han Empire and plundered counties in various parts of Hedong, burning, killing and looting. Later, he joined forces with the Baibo army, which was dominated by refugees and continued to grow. This led to the fact that Subugen was preparing to attack the Han army camps at night tonight.

Xubugen looked at the full moon and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the former grand chariot of Maodun defeated the East Hu, Dingling, and the Great Yuezhi in the west, dominating the Western Regions, and annexed the tribes of Loufan, Aries and other tribes in the south. The border in the north crossed the vast sea and arrived on the cold northern seashore. What a majestic genius, but now the descendants of Maodun Da Shanyu have fallen to a situation where they can only collude with the bandits of the Han Empire and wander around. How frustrating and helpless it is.

It is estimated that the third update has passed now. After he sent the Hun cavalry to come back and confirm the situation of the Han army's camp, he will lead his troops to attack the Han army camp, burn them all, and let them relive the nightmare of their ancestors under the iron hoofs of the Hun cavalry.

Thinking of this, Subugen looked at the full moon, knelt on the ground, put his hands together, prayed devoutly and said:

"The heaven of immortality is above you. Please bless your devout slave, Xubugen, and the warriors of the Subu family, to attack the Han army camp tonight and return victoriously. Xubugen will definitely kill cattle and sheep afterwards, and use the blood of the animals to pay tribute to your gods!"

After praying, Subugen devoutly kissed the somewhat wet and cold ground again, grabbed a handful of sand and rubbed his hands for a while before slowly letting go.

There was already a sound of horse hooves in his ears, and Subugen immediately showed a cruel smile. The lamb in the sheep pen was screaming, and the eyes of the wolf pack on the grassland emitted green light, revealing his fangs.
