Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Ji Diao continued: "Shan Yu, we have already captured many craftsmen from the Western Regions. As long as we bring these craftsmen back to Mobei, after a while, we will have a powerful cavalry force comparable to armored cavalry. By that time, it will not be too late for us to fight Zhao Guoren!"

Uwe Shanyu fell silent.

Slowly, the whispers in the king's tent became more and more obvious, and many Hun nobles whispered to each other, exchanging opinions non-stop.

Uwe Chanyu suddenly said, "How many people agree and disagree?"

After a short silence, a Hun nobleman stood up: "Shanyu, I think Qiediao's opinion is very reasonable."

After a while, another Hun nobleman stood up: "Shan Yu, I also think that Qi Diao's opinion is worth considering."

One after another, the nobles of the Huns stood up, and the number of people who agreed was slowly increasing.

Uwe Shanyu narrowed his eyes and carefully watched these guys in front of him, with a very calm expression on his face.

Finally, no more Hun nobles stood up.

In a rough count, the number of Xiongnu nobles who stood up is about one-third of the Hun nobles in the entire king's account.

However, in terms of positions, the status of these Xiongnu nobles who stood up is not very high.

But even so, it can be seen from the current situation that around the issue of whether to fight Zhao Jun, the high-ranking nobles of the Huns still had a very serious split. It seems that even Uwe Chanyu Prestige seems to be a bit difficult to suppress!

Uwe Shanyu waited for a while, saw that no one stood up anymore, and was about to speak, when suddenly another voice sounded out of nowhere.

"Shanyu, I also think that maybe it's time to retreat to Mobei and recuperate."

Uwe Chanyu looked along the source of the sound, and his eyes finally fell on a man sitting under his right hand.

This time, Uwe Shanyu's complexion finally changed significantly.

"Youxian King, do you want to retreat too?"

The first thousand and thirty-fourth chapter Huns internal strife? (Chapter 34)

The system of the Huns, if understood from the Central Plains dynasty, is actually not too difficult.

In fact, the state system of the Xiongnu was much simpler than that of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Shan Yu is equivalent to the monarch and the highest military commander.

Below Shan Yu is the prince, who is usually called Tu Qi, and his official position is Zuo Xianwang, whose status is only under Shan Yu.This Zuo Xianwang has actual territory and an army, which is roughly equivalent to the Zuo Prime Minister of the Huns.

Since Uwe Chanyu's eldest son is only 13 years old, he is still unable to fulfill the duties of King Zuo Xianyu, so at this moment, the troops of King Zuo Xianyu are still under the control of Uwei Chanyu, which makes Uwe Chanyu nearly Thirty thousand cavalry occupy an overwhelming force.

Under Shan Yu and Zuo Xianwang, there was the Youxian King who just asked for the withdrawal of troops.

This Right Wise King is from the Lan family of the Xiongnu, and his name is Youliu. He has two thousand cavalry and about [-] Hun cavalry under his command. He is the largest cavalry in the entire Xiongnu country except Uwei Shanyu. support force.

Speaking of it, it was precisely because the Youxian King You stayed in Uwei Shanyu's crucial battle to win the throne and supported Uwei Shanyu that today's Xiongnu country came into being.

For a long time, Uwe Shanyu has regarded Youliu as his right-hand man, so when Youliu also stood up and asked Uwe to withdraw his troops, one can imagine the shock in Uwe Shanyu's heart.

Uwe Chanyu stared closely at Youxian King in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Youliu, what's your reason?"

This Youxian King Youliu hardly has any hair on his head, but a small braid like a child in the Central Plains is tied at the back of his head. It looks somewhat funny, but his appearance is quite ferocious. This feeling has been diluted a lot.

Youliu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said unhurriedly: "Shanyu, in fact, there is one thing I wanted to ask for a long time."

Uwe Shanyu froze for a moment, and said, "Speak!"

Youxian Wang Youliu looked at Uwei Shanyu, and said in a deep voice: "Someone told me that Shanyu you already knew the news that the Zhao people started to enter the Western Regions as early as 20 days ago, but you didn't tell me the news. Instead, they quietly sent a large number of messengers to the south, asking the cavalry stationed in the Western Regions to return north to join the royal court. I wonder if this is true?"

As soon as Youliu's words came out, there was another low exclamation in Wang's tent.

Immediately, many people cast doubts on Uwe Shanyu's eyes.

20 days, that was almost a month ago.

This Shanyu already knew the news a month ago, but why did he hide it until now, and waited until Zhao Guoren came very close to the violent killing before telling him?Is there something ulterior in this?

Just a few words, the atmosphere in the king's tent seemed to become a little weird in an instant.

Uwe Shanyu's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at the Youxian King in front of him very calmly: "Youliu, Ben Shanyu doesn't know what you are talking about."

Youliu's face became serious, and his voice suddenly became louder: "Dear Shanyu, may I ask you to tell me that when Barkol retreated northward three days ago, he encountered the main force of the Zhao people and was killed by Li Mu's army?" How long will the matter of death be concealed!"

As soon as Yuliu said these words, the surprised voice in the tent suddenly went up to another level.

Balikun is one of the emerging generals of the Xiongnu in the past two years. He has repeatedly made military achievements in the conquest of the Western Regions and the battle with the Seleucids. Therefore, he was entrusted by Uwe Chanyu with the important task of leading a ten thousand riders to guard the Western Regions. Responsible for suppressing possible rebellions in the countries of the Western Regions, and at the same time alerting the possible attacks of the Seleucids.

Unexpectedly, such a general, since he was already killed by Zhao Guoren on the way back to the north!

This news was actually a blow to the morale of many Xiongnu nobles in the king's account.

After all, Barkol's bravery and skill in fighting are well known to everyone. If such a fierce general can't resist the Zhao people, then who can resist?

Uwe Shanyu took a deep look at Youliu, and suddenly said, "Youliu, why are you so deliberately inquiring about these things here?"

Youliu snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Shan Yu, I have never objected to you going to war with Zhao Guoren, and the deep hatred between us and Zhao Guoren must be repaid by Zhao Guoren with blood! But the reason why I said All these things happened just to tell you that now is not the time to go to war with Zhao Guoren!"

"That's right!" At this moment, a Xiongnu nobleman who hadn't made a sound suddenly said, "Da Shanyu, I agree with King Youxian, we should withdraw to Mobei to avoid the sharpness of the Zhao people for the time being. This place is too far away from the Central Plains, the ruling center of the Zhao Kingdom, and it is impossible for the people of the Zhao Kingdom to occupy this place for a long time, as long as the people of the Zhao Kingdom leave, we can make a comeback, and the Western Regions are still in our pocket!"

More Xiongnu nobles were moved, and they all agreed: "That's right, Da Shanyu, King Youxian is right!" "Da Shanyu, I also think you should consider King Youxian's opinion!" "Da Shanyu , give the order to retreat!"

All of a sudden, there was a turmoil in the king's tent, and it turned out that the retreat faction had taken over the mainstream of public opinion.

It's not that Uwe Chanyu's cronies stood up and reprimanded these guys loudly, but what's interesting is that the situation that these cronies could have easily suppressed as soon as they opened their mouths seemed to be completely out of control today. Not only did the wave of troop withdrawal not stop, but it became even more violent.

Uwe Shanyu looked at the situation in front of him thoughtfully, and did not speak immediately, but once again shifted his gaze to the Youxian King Youliu, who was under his head.

According to some kind of secret channel, Uwe Shanyu actually got a piece of news, that is, his right virtuous king had actually captured several Zhao State slaves the year before last, and one of the Zhao State slaves seemed to be I don't know what kind of means he used, but step by step he became Youliu's confidant and aide.

It was also from that time that the Youxian King Youliu, who was originally Uwe Shanyu's right-hand man, gradually became estranged from his own Da Shanyu.

Uwe let out a long sigh and raised his hand.

The prestige of the Great Chanyu is still there, and everyone in the king's tent quickly quieted down, waiting for Uwe Chanyu's decision.

But what Uwe Chanyu said was not to everyone, but to Yuliu in front of him alone.

"Youliu, in fact, Bendan really doesn't understand why you must stand on Zhao's side and become a traitor to our Huns?"

Another month is over, let's chat with everyone.

In fact, I also know that everyone is probably a little confused. After all, in the past September, whether it was updates or other things, it seemed to be quite weak.

To be honest, the past month has been really difficult for me personally.
