Chapter 63 Shanyu's decision

After eating and drinking, the soldiers were still in high spirits, chatting and making jokes, and making trouble until Zhou Yang ordered to go to bed.

Long before leaving, Zhou Yang told the soldiers that during the march, they should be prepared to suffer and freeze without fire for them to keep warm and simmer. As long as they can defeat the Huns, not to mention not raising the fire, even if they sacrifice their heads and sprinkle their blood, the soldiers will do whatever they want, and naturally they will not object.

I never thought that there was fire, but it was such a strange fire that the soldiers would not be happy.

As soon as the order was passed, all the soldiers followed. First, they raised a fire in the tent and drove the war horses into the tent. In such a cold day, if the war horses were placed outside the tent, they would definitely be frozen. You must know that maintaining the horse's power can defeat the Huns, which is a necessary measure.

In the tabernacle, the people and horses sleep together, and the fire is still there, and it is not cold at all.

Zhou Yang's tent is the largest of all tents, and it can accommodate many people. One fire is not enough, and three fires have risen. Zhou Yang and a group of personal soldiers, as well as wind chasing horses and war horses are crowded together, warm as spring.

"It's so warm!" The soldiers exclaimed in unison.

In such a cold weather, it is a supreme happiness to have a fire, but they are three fires and they sleep in a tent with Dashuai Zhou. They are so excited that they are like roosters jumping on the beams of the house, with a happy look on their faces.

The Feng-Chasing Horse was lying on the ground, and Zhou Yang leaned against the Feng-Chasing Horse, resting his head on the Feng-Chasing Horse's belly. The other two war horses were lying around Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang was surrounded by three war horses, and there was warm everywhere. Then it was covered with felt, which was warm, not much different from drying air conditioners.

The Huns lie down together, this is the method of the Huns. The Huns marched and fought in colder weather, and this method is used to save trouble and avoid being frozen. They can kill two birds with one stone.

This method is indeed good and very applicable. The only flaw is that it will smell like a horse. For Zhou Yang and others who are born and die, rolling around in the pile of dead people, and bathing in blood, horse smell is not a big deal, and they are ignored.

That night, it was extremely strange. That was, the sound of "Bajibaji" sounded all over the camp, which was the sound of the soldiers clattering their mouths.

After seizing so many cattle, sheep and horses, they should have had a big meal, but they cooked Zhou Yang with cattle, mutton and horse meat as firewood. This is certainly a good idea, but it also caused the soldiers to greed.

Not to mention, the fire in my dreams is still meat as firewood. The fragrance is very tempting. It is impossible for soldiers to not eat in their dreams.

All the soldiers were dreaming, holding lamb legs, eating hard, and saliva flowed.

Zhou Yang also had a similar dream, but he didn't eat it hard with his lamb legs, but he held the huge cow's head and dealt with it hard with it. There were also the sauce, green onions, and garlic paste from modern society. He had a great time eating it, and his saliva was flowing. Zhou Yang's clothes were wet.

"Why is it so smelly?" Zhou Yang woke up from a strange smell, blinked his eyes, and asked in a daze, with the mouth at the corner of his mouth crystal clear and conspicuous.

"Master, the meat was burned out. The brothers burned the bodies of the Huns as firewood." A personal soldier yawned and reported to Zhou Yang. Finally, he said: "I slept so warmly, even in the barracks, it was just like this!"

"The body of the Huns?" Zhou Yang was a little stunned, and rolled his eyes and said, "This can also burn, why did I forget this?"

He tilted his head, leaned against Fengfeng's belly, and then fell asleep.

The next day, after dawn, Zhou Yang got up and stretched his waist beautifully. He slept soundly last night, and had a lot of dreams. He ate cow heads and ate cow tendons. The amount of cow tendons made him burst his belly and had endless aftertaste!

"So many horse hair!" Zhou Yang was surprised to find that he had a lot of horse hair on his body.

The advantage of sleeping with people and horses is that it saves trouble, and the disadvantage is that it will get covered in horse hair. This is impossible.

When they looked at the personal soldiers, their horse-haired hair was almost turned into horses, and they couldn't help but make them laugh. The personal soldiers joked with each other: "Only growing horse-haired hair, not growing horse-leg legs, and running is not fast!"

After washing up, the soldiers roasted the pancakes on fire, simmered the horse's breasts, and continued to march after a beautiful meal.

Before leaving, the soldiers tied the dried sheepskin, cowhide and horse skin to their bodies. At first glance, they looked like primitive people who were eating raw meat and drinking blood.

After the army was dispatched, yesterday's red tide disappeared, and replaced by a wave of fur, rolling northward, and its power did not diminish at all.

Longcheng is still filled with ice and snow, with snow for several feet.

The cold snow, the biting cold wind, the invincible enthusiasm of the Huns. The Huns ran horses and arched in the snow and ice, and slashed with scimitars. They had excellent archery skills, skillful sword techniques, and fierce momentum, as if they were not training, but facing the hateful and hateful Han people.

In fact, the Huns treated the air as Han people and killed them. The hateful and hateful Han people no longer allowed them to cut and kill them like before. Where are the warriors who set up the Great Huns?

"Utra!Utra!"

The shocking sound of long live the sky resounded through the sky, shaking the earth trembled.

Junchen Chanyu squirted alcohol and came out of the king's tent. He looked at the Huns who were training hard. He was very proud and happy. He laughed loudly and said, "I have such a warrior. Why worry about the Han Dynasty's immortality! Why worry about the Han Emperor's refusal to surrender!"

"The Great Chanyu is wise!"

The ministers praised each other in unison, and were extremely proud.

"Malay!" Junchen Shanyu was in a very good mood during this period, and he became even more unstoppable when he was drunk.

The servant brought a horse, and Junchen Shanyu flew onto the horse, grabbed the horse's belly, and shouted: "Go!"

The horse spread its four hooves and galloped. The horse seemed to feel the joy of the military minister Shanyu, and a loud neighing sound was extremely loud.

"Ha ha!"

Junchen Shanyu rode his horse and galloped, excited and laughed like thunder, and spread from afar.

“Great Chanyu, Great Chanyu!”

Wherever Junchen Shanyu went, there was a burst of screams. The Hun army and the Hun herders looked at Junchen Shanyu with respect, as if the believers were as pious as facing God.

It is no wonder that although Junchen Shanyu suffered a crushing defeat several years ago, the defeated army was defeated and the Huns suffered heavy losses. However, Junchen Shanyu was a very talented leader after all, and he chose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of Emperor Jing's death to attack the Han Dynasty.

As soon as this battle began, the Xiongnu won the victory. The Xiongnu army, the Xiongnu herdsmen, and their love for military officials and Shanyu not only recovered as before, but also surpassed the past, reaching an unparalleled level.

There is a saying in the Huns today, "If we say that the greatest Chanyu in the history of the Great Huns, the great Maodun Chan is well deserved! Beyond it, it is the Great Chanyu!"

Invisibly, the prestige of the military minister Shanyu was second only to the Maodun Shanyu. Maodun was the greatest Shanyu in the history of the Huns. He unified the various tribes of the Huns and gathered the split Huns together for the first time. This is a monument of the Huns, and no one can surpass them.

If it weren't for Maodun Shanyu's inability to surpass him, the Xiongnu would have thought that Junchen Shanyu was the greatest Shanyu in the history of the Xiongnu. Who said that Junchen Shanyu would lead them to create glory?

Although Maodun Shanyu unified the various tribes of the Xiongnu, integrated the Xiongnu together and became a powerful force. However, Maodun Shanyu did not achieve much glory in the war against the Han Dynasty. Although he had the proud work of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and the suicide note of Empress Lu, he was just a plunder on the border and did not go deep into the Han territory.

What the military minister Shanyu had to do was to go deep into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, come to Chang'an, defeat the Han Dynasty, and force the Han Dynasty to completely surrender. Not to mention doing this, just thinking about it would be enough to make the Huns crazy.

In the eyes of the Huns, it was a country like heaven, with endless food, endless wine, endless silk, silk and satin, endless gold and silver, and endless beautiful women... After the Han Dynasty, the Huns entered heaven, and since then they had no worries about food and clothing, no longer had to suffer the bitter cold of the desert.

It has a wonderful prospect and a tempting future. It is impossible to have a military minister, Shanyu, in the minds of the Huns, not reach the point where he is unprecedented and modern.

The roar is sincere, from the heart, and is completely different from the story of Xuying. You can hear it as soon as you hear it. Junchen Shanyu was very happy, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I have been a Shanyu for many years, but today I know the joy of becoming a big Shanyu!"

A pair of bright eyes narrowed together, and the eyes were itchy, which was so cool!

"Great Shanyu, can we go south?" Junchen Shanyu asked respectfully while he was happy.

"You are afraid that you will go too late, and there will be no best farmland and sheep, right?"

Junchen Shanyu guessed the old man's thoughts and looked at the old man with a smile, comforting: "Don't worry! The Han people's territory is huge, not small at all compared to the Great Huns. The Han people's territory is not only very large, but also very fertile, much more fertile than the desert! The northern land, the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Bashu, and Jiangnan... are all places that are so beautiful that they cannot be more beautiful. The land there is fertile, the grass is strong, and it is suitable for grazing."

The military minister Shanyu was determined to destroy the Han Dynasty, so he naturally understood the Han Dynasty. He turned his fingers and counted it carefully like a family. He was very informative and very reasonable. Even Jiangnan, who was not famous at that time, knew it.

Although Jiangnan was rich and extremely important to China, it was a barren land during the Qin and Han dynasties and was not valued. At that time, Jiangnan was vast and sparsely populated, and although the land was plump, it was not very important. This was not important to the Huns. The more such a place was, the more suitable it was for grazing. It was impossible to ask the military officials and Shanyu to not care about it.

"The Great Shanyu's words are right, but it's better to go early!" The old man longed for it: "This time, the land of the Han people will definitely become the ranch for the Great Huns warriors!"

The more you win, the greater the chance of victory, the less the Huns were willing to stay in Longcheng, because although Longcheng was important and the holy place in their minds, Longcheng was too cold, even the cold-resistant Huns could not stand it. If they could reach the Han territory as soon as possible, the food, clothing, housing and use were more colorful, the weather would be much warmer alone.

"Since that's the case, you go south first!"

As the Huns, Junchen Chanyu, how could he not understand the old man’s thoughts? He laughed and said, “Bring your cattle and sheep, roast lamb for the warriors of the Great Huns, simmer the horse’s breasts, and happily welcome the arrival of the Great Huns warriors!”

Many people think that the saying that before the troops move, food and grass will come first is not suitable for the Huns. The Huns have grown up on horseback since childhood and can live their lives on horseback. They act like the wind, come without a shadow, go without a trace, and are unpredictable. In fact, that is wrong.

The Huns plundered without logistics, which is fine. However, if there is no logistics or supplies for such a large-scale military operation, the Huns would not be able to fight.

However, the logistics and supplies of the Huns were alive, that is, cattle and sheep, which was completely different from the Han Dynasty and was ignored. It is precisely because of this that whenever the Huns were going to hold a large movement, they would always follow many herders. These herders who accompanied them were equivalent to the "civilians" mentioned by the Han people. Their duty was to drive cattle and sheep for the Huns army, otherwise the Huns would not have been able to support much time.

During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, the Huns marched southward in large numbers; during the reign of Emperor Qin, the Tauman Shanyu marched southward, which time was not the case?

Of course, in addition to this, the herdsmen also have the greed to occupy the plump water and grasslands.

This time, the military minister Shanyu wanted to defeat the Han Dynasty, but he still could not live without the Huns' herders who drove cattle and sheep. According to the tradition of the Huns, these herders should be behind the army, rather than ahead.

The Huns were full of confidence and would win this battle. The Huns' herdsmen could no longer stay in Longcheng. Their hearts had already flown to the Han territory, to the Central Plains, and to the Jiangnan area where the soil, water and grass were green. It was a torture for them to stay here. The Junchen Shanyu was in a very good mood at this time and wished to be a beautiful person and agreed happily.

Another advantage of letting herders go ahead is that they can prepare food for the army, roast lamb, and simmer horse milk. The Hun army will just march and advance faster.

There is such a benefit, and of course there is no reason for Junchen Shanyu to disagree.

"Big Chanyu! Big Chanyu!"

The Hun herders cheered in unison and waved their arms vigorously.

As soon as the news spread, groups of herders rode horses, drove cattle and sheep, and sang Brother Mu, and began to march south with joy.

To arrive at the Han territory as soon as possible and occupy more abundant land, this is the greed of the Xiongnu herders. Who would still be willing to stay in Longcheng and endure the cold wind as cold as a scimitar?

If you look out from the air, you will see countless Xiongnu herders driving cattle and horses, dragging their families and happily heading south. On the white snow fields, you will see people crowding, black and rolling south.

Looking at the herdsmen who were constantly laughing and moving south quickly, Junchen Shanyu was full of energy. The horse whip in his hand whip was whipped, making a crisp sound: "Go! Go!"

"Da Shanyu, is this a bit dangerous?" The Bank of China said with a frown, and said with some concern: "They have no army protection. If they encounter the Han army, wouldn't they be worried?"

"Haha!" Junchen Shanyu was in such a good mood. Amid the laughter, the horse whip in his hand whipped lightly on Zhongxing's body: "So what? Even if Zhou Yang comes, can he still set a torch to burn the snow and ice?"

"Ha ha!"

The ministers laughed in unison. The military minister Shanyu was right. Even if Zhou Yang came, it would not be possible to burn the grassland like he did a few years ago. The herdsmen went south in advance, and there was no problem at all.

"But, the servant is always frightened, as if something is going to happen." Zhongxing said, his eyebrows were furrowed.

"Bang!" Junchen Shanyu's horse whip was thrust heavily on Zhongxing Shuo. Zhongxing Shuo was caught off guard, frightened and screamed: "Big Shanyu, you are..."

"Now, you won't be frightened, are you?" Junchen Shanyu laughed.
