Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The heads of the Huyan clan and the Xubu clan also smiled and greeted the head of the Shuda clan.

Surrounding the three of them were hundreds of guards of the three races, and the positions of the three races formed a triangle. In the center of this triangle, hundreds of Xiongnu nobles and guards were lying on the ground in a haphazard manner, blood flowing from the Flowing out from under their bodies.

Last year's Southern Expedition, although the Huns once achieved brilliant results and rich spoils of war, all this changed after the arrival of Zhao Kuo, General Wu Xinjun of the State of Zhao.

In a great battle outside Pingyin City, the Huns were killed by Zhao Jun under Zhao Kuo's command. The Beijing Temple of 2 people still stands outside Pingyin City. It was lost during the escape or was recaptured by the Zhao people.

Originally, the Huns gritted their teeth and went south because they couldn't survive. Not only did they not make any money, but they lost a lot of money. How are they going to live?

In the past winter, a large number of Huns and livestock died of starvation due to lack of food and cold supplies, which caused the Huns to suffer another heavy blow.

At this moment, all the patriarchs of the Xiongnu were anxious.

On the grassland, the law of the jungle is out-and-out. If the strength is weakened, not only will it attract the covetousness of other tribes, but also old rivals such as the Donghu and Yuezhi will stare at it.

The current Huns obviously have no strength to launch aggression, so killing each other and supplementing themselves with other tribal forces has become the most feasible option.

The patriarch had just died, and the Lan tribe, which suffered the most in the battle against Zhao last year, became the sacrificed victim.

At this year's Xiongnu Tribal Conference, the three tribes of the Shuda clan, the Xubu clan, and the Huyan clan united and suddenly killed the Lan clan.

The young new patriarch of the Lan clan and his guards have already lost their lives here.

Farther away, the sound of horseshoes and battles could be faintly heard. It was the cavalry of the three major tribes attacking the Lan clan.

The battle is not over yet, but Lan's fate is doomed.

The patriarch of the Shuo clan waved his hand: "Come here, serve the wine! Clean up this place for me!"

The bodies of the members of the Lan family were quickly dragged down, and a jar of kumiss was brought up. The patriarchs of the three tribes did not dislike the faint smell of blood in the air, and started drinking to their heart's content.

An hour later, more exciting news came: "The Lan family is gone!"

This news directly brought the atmosphere to its climax, and the happiest patriarch of the Shuda clan even went into a drunken madness on the spot and danced a weird dance of the Huns.

Although the patriarchs of the other two clans were unable to dance because of their age, they also sat in their positions and beat strange rhythms with their weapons, laughing for the dance of the patriarch of the Shuo clan.

Lan's is gone, and by gnawing on Lan's flesh and blood, the other three tribes will soon return to their former strength!The banquet lasted until midnight.

Under the loud order of the overjoyed patriarch of the Tongda clan, jars of fine wine were brought up one after another, and a large number of nobles from the Xubu clan and Huyan clan were also invited to the banquet, and almost everyone got drunk.

But what these Xiongnu nobles never expected was that today's killing did not end because of the end of the Lan family.

At midnight, when the head of the Huyan clan stood up drunk and said that he was going to go back to his camp to enjoy the beautiful woman he had just snatched from the Lan clan, the head of the Huyan clan also stood up with a smile and said that he wanted to send Huyan off. A gift from the head of the Yan clan.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the patriarch of the Tongda clan suddenly pulled out a dagger, and directly stabbed the head of the Huyan clan in the heart!The people present stared round their eyes and let out a burst of exclamation.

Many nobles of the Huyan clan stood up directly, wanting to avenge the patriarch, and desperately fighting with the Shuda clan.

However, the alcohol paralyzed the nerves of these nobles, and their bodies were completely disobedient and staggered.

On the other side, those nobles of the Shuda clan who seemed to be exchanging glasses with them before, but actually didn't drink much at all, jumped up one after another, and came like agile wolves holding sharp knives!No one would have imagined that on the day when the Suoda clan would slaughter and carve up the Lan clan, they would attack the Xubu clan and the Huyan clan again!Half an hour later, the patriarch of the Tongda clan stood calmly in the middle of the high platform with his long sword drenched in blood.

In front of the patriarch of the Suoda clan, there were two dead heads lying quietly, which were the heads of the clan chiefs of the Xubu clan and the heads of the Huyan clan.

There was a sound of hoofbeats, and Luan Hezhen appeared in front of the patriarch of the Luan clan, fell off his horse and knelt down: "Father, the high-level officials of the Huyan clan and the Xubu clan have been killed by us. Some of the clansmen fled, but most of them It's all under our control!"

Hearing this, the patriarch of the Suoda clan couldn't help laughing out loud.

"From now on, there will be no royal court meetings among the Xiongnu, and I, the Suoda clan, will be the Chanyu to rule the Huns from generation to generation!"

In the night under the high platform, countless cavalrymen of the Juda clan raised their bows and arrows and cheered.

"Long live Shan Yu, long live Shan Yu!"

On this day, the Suoda clan, the Mielan clan, the Huyan clan, and the Xubu clan officially stood out from the four major tribes and became the king of the Huns.

Shanyu Youliu, the first generation of the Xiongnu, was born!The old Huns tribal alliance was disbanded, and a new nomadic country, the Huns, was born!This is destined to be a historic moment, but at this moment, the Suoda clan, who was intoxicated by the victory, did not know that in the south thousands of miles away, a mighty cavalry army had already stepped out of the Great Wall of Zhao State. Come all the way north!

Chapter 593 The compass is a good thing

The sky is green and the fields are vast.

In this era, no one dared to herd herds so close to the border of the mighty Zhao State, so there was nothing but the vast green world beyond the Great Wall.

Looking at the Monan Prairie in front of him, Zhao Kuo felt very emotional.

In later generations, this place was under the jurisdiction of Inner Mongolia, but in this era, it is actually the territory of the Huns, not the territory of China! "This mistake must be corrected, starting from this expedition!"

By Zhao Kuo's side, Li Mu rode his horse and raised his whip, feeling both excited and worried at the same time.

The excitement was of course because the Lord really led [-] cavalry northward to attack the Huns, but the reason for worry was also very simple.

"My lord, it's not easy to find the direction on this grassland."

The grasslands are different from the Central Plains. In the Central Plains there are roads, towns, and many different terrains.

On the prairie, many times you run for a day or even several days, and what you can see is the vast prairie.

This feeling, to some extent, is the same as sailing in the sea.

Some people are about to say, isn’t it enough to observe the orientation of the sun?

It's not that simple.

For example, what if the sun is in the center?

What do you do when you can't see the sun on a cloudy day?

What do you do when you can't see the sun when it's windy, rainy and snowy?

It is impossible for there to be no sun, and the army will not act.

In the many wars between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu in history, the army of the Han Dynasty often failed to arrive at the scheduled time because they misunderstood the direction, resulting in the failure of the battle against the Huns.

After hearing Li Mu's doubts, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly.

Li Mu could have considered this point, and Zhao Kuo had certainly thought of it long ago.

So, Zhao Kuo unhurriedly took out something from his pocket: "Li Mu, just take a look at this thing."

Li Mu took a closer look, but didn't understand.

The thing that Zhao Kuo took out was actually very simple in structure, it was a small disc, and there was a small iron needle on the disc. The center of the iron needle was fixed on the disc, with one end pointed and the other round, and it wobbled slightly from time to time. , it seems that there is nothing special about it.

Li Mu asked suspiciously: "My lord, what is this?"

Zhao Kuo laughed, and slowly rotated the small disc: "Look carefully."

With this rotation, Li Mu immediately saw something was wrong: "The pointer of this disc is actually pointing in the same direction all the time?

This is Simon? "

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "This thing is not Sinan, its name is the compass!"

Compass, the famous four great inventions of China.

In fact, this era already has the predecessor of the compass, Sinan.

However, Sinan had to put the ladle in a smooth ground, with a square outside and a circle inside, and four dimensions of stems and branches engraved on all sides, combining 24 directions, and then the direction could be identified, which could not be used by the army at all.

The compass does not have such a problem.

Li Mu took the compass and played with it for a while, and after confirming the efficacy of the compass, he was surprised and delighted: "My lord, this compass is really magical!"

With a compass, no matter it is cloudy, raining, snowing, no matter it is day or night, Zhao Jun's direction will never be wrong.

If the direction is right, the vast desert of the Huns is no longer an insurmountable jedi for the Zhao people.

As for Shan Yu Wang Ting, others don't know the location, but Zhao Kuo really does.

Who made Zhao Kuo see so many time travel and war maps in later generations?

Li Mu was full of confidence, and said to Zhao Kuo: "My lord, this time we will definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu!"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said with a big laugh, "It's not about defeating, but completely making the name Huns disappear!"

Beside Zhao Kuo, many generals of the Zhao army looked at Zhao Kuo with great admiration.

Wu Xinjun really deserves to be the No.1 general in the world, all the preparations are so impeccable.

too strong!With the sound of hooves, [-] cavalry rushed northward.

Later that day, outside a small tribe, Zhao Kuo stopped his horse.

In front of Zhao Kuo, hundreds of Xiongnu people knelt in fear, dropped their bodies to the ground, and shivered.

In front of the Huns, there were more than a dozen corpses of the Huns, and Zhao Jun's arrows were stuck on the corpses.

Li Mu reported: "My lord, this is a small tribe of the Huns. They tried to resist when they saw the scouts coming, and even killed one of our scouts!"

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Li Mu said again: "My lord, this time the army is passing through the grassland, in order to keep it secret, it is better to slaughter all this tribe, so as not to let them secretly inform other Huns!"

Zhao Kuo hesitated a little, and was about to speak, when suddenly, among the kneeling Huns, a naked woman stood up, ran over staggeringly, and knelt down in front of Zhao Kuo with a bang.

"My lord, my lord, save me!"

The woman spoke Zhao language.

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Are you from Zhao?"

The woman cried loudly: "I am Zhao Ren, Zhao Ren!"

In the woman's crying, Zhao Kuo learned about her past.

This woman was originally a woman outside Pingyin City, Yanmen County, Zhaodi. Her father used to be a cavalry soldier of the Border Cavalry Regiment, her elder brother was an official in Pingyin City, and her husband's family was a famous horse breeder nearby.

Life was going well, but the arrival of the Huns broke it all.

The woman's father and husband were all slaughtered, and the woman's newborn child was also thrown from the horse to death. Only the woman was captured as a spoil of war by the Huns.

In the ensuing Battle of Pingyin City, the Huns were defeated, and the woman was about to take the opportunity to slip away, but she didn't want to be caught by a Huns cavalry as soon as she got out of the tent, and took her all the way back to the tribe.

Here, she was tortured, not only had to feed and graze livestock during the day, but also took care of the daily life of the "master" family, and even had to take care of bed at night.

Not only that, but because she is the only Chinese woman in this tribe, other Huns are quite curious and want to come to "try the taste".

So the "master" was quite generous, and "rented" her out at the price of "one horse for one night". With the woman's complaint, the atmosphere gradually became quiet, and thousands of Zhao cavalrymen around quietly Hearing all this, a certain red light began to appear in both eyes.

This is what happened to this woman, but not just what happened to this woman.

When the Huns invaded, how many Zhao women and their families suffered such tragedies, and how many Chinese sons and daughters were poisoned and mutilated by foreign races?

After the woman finished her report, she wept and kowtowed to Zhao Kuo: "Your honor, please bring the little girl back to Zhao's land. The little girl must be a cow and a horse, in order to repay the nobleman's great favor!"

Zhao Kuo sighed, jumped off the horse, took out his fur coat from the saddle bag, put it lightly on the woman, and said softly, "Is the master you mentioned still alive?"

The woman turned back trembling, and pointed to the crowd of Huns: "That's the one, the one with the bald head, two braids, and a big black spot on his face."

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, and said lightly, "Li Mu, bring him out."

Chapter 594 The Huns Will Know What Blood Debts Are!

At Zhao Kuo's order, Li Mu jumped off his horse and walked over.

Under the watchful eyes of [-] Zhao cavalry, none of the Huns dared to make any changes.

Soon, the Hun just now was brought over.

It is very accurate to mention this word. Li Mu is over 1.8 meters tall, while the Hun in front of him is only about 1.6 meters tall, and because of years of horseback riding, his bow legs are two or three centimeters shorter. He feels like an adult and a child.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Removed his hands."

As soon as Li Mu stretched out his hand, there were two clicks, and the Hun suddenly let out a scream. The joints at the shoulders of the two arms were removed by Li Mu, and the pain caused snot and tears to flow down.

Zhao Kuo looked at the Zhao woman in front of him, and found that the woman looked extremely calm, with only a few traces of happiness flashing in her eyes.

But Zhao Kuo felt that this was not enough.

So Zhao Kuo asked the woman, "Can you use a sword?"

The woman shook her head blankly.

Zhao Kuo smiled, took out a dagger from his waist, and put it in the woman's hand: "Go."

The woman hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhao Kuo, and found that Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile, so she took the dagger and walked step by step towards the "master" of the Huns.

Li Mu also showed a smile, and exerted force with his hands, exposing the Huns' chest directly.

The Huns obviously understood something, and yelled frantically in the Hun language. Although they couldn't understand, everyone understood that he was begging for mercy.

The woman walked up to the Huns, held the dagger in both hands, and stabbed fiercely at the Huns' chest.
