Section 3 The Huns dominate the grassland

Shanyu, the Northern Great Chanyu of Yanran Mountain, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and his Seal.

The doctor holds a book, a goldfish on his waist, and a flying dragon borrows a horse to leave the capital.

The grass in September in Husha has withered, and the frost flowers on the grass are like five baht.

The white fur mink hat is not warm, and the heavy yellow dust is driving the car.

The moon rises over the wild hut, the wind is calm, the sky is quiet, and the sound of geese is heard in the distance.

When I smell the bitter cold in Guting, I translate it as saying that I can rub my ears without ridiculing.

At this time, the public had already watched the ceremony, and then went to pay homage to the Khan in the snow.

After the Qin army withdrew from the Monan Grassland, three powerful forces were active in this place, namely the Yuezhi, the Xiongnu and the Donghu. The Yuezhi had fallen out with the Xiongnu before, and the Yuezhi was forced to move westward. Before the Xiongnu When Meng Tian was defeated, Donghu took the opportunity to seize a lot of territory from the Huns. Now that the Huns have returned to Monan, they want to take back the territory that originally belonged to them. However, the powerful Donghu people did not take the Xiongnu seriously at all, and even Planning to drive them out of Monan again.

Dong Hu heard about Mo Dun killing his father and becoming a self-reliant man. He wanted to test the new Chanyu who succeeded him. So he sent envoys to the Xiongnu, made unreasonable demands to Mo Dun, and asked Mo Dun to head Man Dan. The thousand-mile horse that Yu rode when he was in power.

The King of Donghu didn't really want a thousand-mile horse. He wanted to take this opportunity to anger the Huns. Then he would find a reason to attack the Huns and drive the Huns out of Monan. But if the Huns gave the thousand-mile horse to Donghu, it would mean Once the Xiongnu accept defeat, Donghu will definitely find more reasons and excuses to squeeze the Xiongnu. In the end, you can make the Xiongnu surrender obediently without fighting.

So no matter what they did, the Xiongnu took great risks. But Maodunshan was a strategic man, and he had his own way to deal with the King of East Lake.

Modun Chanyu first summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures and asked everyone for their opinions on the matter. Everyone unanimously opposed sending the old Chanyu's Chollima to the King of East Lake. Moton was very happy, but still gave away the Chollima.

After the Donghu people got the Chollima, they thought that the Huns were easy to bully, so they continued to make unreasonable demands. This time he wanted to get a wife of the Shanyu. If he asked for the Chollima of the Xiongnu old Chanyu before, it was very difficult for the Huns. If it is already a shame, then now they have to ask the Xiongnu for the woman of the leader of the Xiongnu. This is a great shame and humiliation for any nation and regime. Mao Dun continued to remain calm and rational, without the trap of King Hu in the Middle East. Instead, he called the group again The ministers discussed this matter in the court. The ministers were very unanimous about this matter and were filled with righteous indignation. They all shouted that the King of Donghu was unreasonable and asked to lead an army to attack Donghu. Maodun was very happy to see that his goal had been achieved. Because this move had aroused the unanimous anger of the Huns. But he thought that the time was not enough, so he readily agreed and gave the woman to King Donghu.

This incident was not only considered cowardly and incompetent by the people of Donghu, but also many people within the Xiongnu expressed anger at Modun Chanyu's behavior. However, Modun Chanyu himself knew that as long as King Donghu continued If you make unscrupulous and unreasonable demands to the Xiongnu, the destruction of East Lake will not be far away.

Sure enough, after several requests were successfully made, King Donghu believed that no matter what request he made, the Huns would satisfy it.

So this time, King Donghu made an even more unreasonable request. There is a buffer zone of more than 1,000 miles between Donghu and Xiongnu. This place has no clear ownership, but both countries have established checkpoints in the border area. King Donghu now wants to

He invaded and occupied this land, so he sent an envoy to make a request to Modun Shanyu.

Mao Dun always stayed awake, and he knew that the opportunity had come. So, Mao Dun once again convened the ministers to discuss the matter. Most of them had lost confidence because of Mao Dun Shanyu's previous weakness, so some people said, anyway, then

It was also an abandoned piece of land and was of little use. Since the people of Donghu wanted it, just give it to them. He did not expect that these words exceeded the bottom line of Mao Dun’s psychological endurance. Mao Dun was furious. He said that the land

How could the country's foundation be given away to others so easily? So, the man and the Donghu envoy were taken out and chopped.

Then, Maodun Shanyu ordered that he immediately raise all the troops in the country and send troops to attack Donghu. The Xiongnu military camp had long hated the people of Donghu. After receiving the order to conquer Donghu, everyone immediately responded without hesitation.

The Donghu people thought that Maodun would agree to their request again, so they were not prepared at all. The Xiongnu army entered the country, and the Donghu army was caught off guard, and Donghu was merged into the Xiongnu.

Most of the Donghu people were annexed, and only a small part fled to the Wuhuan Mountains and Xianbei Mountains respectively. These two groups developed into the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes hundreds of years later.

The powerful Donghu was destroyed, and the Xiongnu became the current overlord of the grassland. After this annihilation war, the Xiongnu people's confidence in Modun Chanyu doubled, and they carried out his orders more unswervingly from then on.

After Mao Dun was rewarded for his merits, he continued to lead the army to attack the Yuezhi in the west. Originally, the Yuezhi King's plan was to wait until Donghu and the Xiongnu were at war before sending troops to attack the Xiongnu to avenge their hatred. In his heart, he acquiesced in Donghu.

However, he did not expect that the Xiongnu would rise suddenly in such a short period of time and destroy Donghu in one fell swoop. King Yuezhi knew that he was no longer a match for the Huns, so King Yuezhi had no choice but to lead his army and people to continue moving westward.

After the Yuezhi escaped, the Huns obtained this territory and did not continue to pursue. Instead, they aimed their spearhead at the south and raided the remnants of Loufan and the Aries King of Henan. These two tribes were defeated by the Huns' cavalry.

, was also forced to merge with the Huns.

Subsequently, Mao Dun led the army to regain all the Huns' former territories that had been captured by Montaigne. At this time, the Qin Dynasty had been destroyed, and the Han King Liu Bang and the King of Xiang Xiang Yu were competing for the world. The Central Plains did not have the energy to take care of the invasion from outside the border fortress. Mao Dun sent small troops step by step.

Troops of troops successively invaded China's northern border areas.

But Mao Dun was very sensible. He stopped when he saw the opportunity. After seizing part of the territory, he did not continue to go south. Moreover, at this time, there were still some small tribes in the northern part of the Huns that had not been conquered. If the Huns went south in a large scale, even the remnants of Donghu and Yue

The Xiongnu will pretend to attack the rear of the Xiongnu again, which is not worth the loss. The Xiongnu might as well sit back and watch Liu Bang and Xiang Yu compete for the world, and reap the benefits when they both lose. The Xiongnu might as well concentrate on destroying the original enemies in Mobei at this time.

Expand your living space.

So, Mao Dun led the army to march towards the Mobei grassland. At this time, the Xiongnu army was no longer the weaklings who had been forced to flee the Mobei region, but a tiger and wolf army. They soon launched an attack on some tribes in the Mobei region.

After a crazy attack, these steppe tribes fled one after another and were forced to flee to the bitter cold land of Siberia. Later, they surrendered to the Huns and were forced to merge with the Huns.

Mao Dun left part of his army to garrison the place he had just conquered, and then led his army back to Monan. Here he continued to observe the changes in the current situation in the Central Plains, and it was also convenient for managing the Huns' huge territory.

After Mao Dun returned to Yinshan, he established and consolidated the political system of the Xiongnu with the help of people around him. The supreme leader of the Xiongnu was called Shanyu, and under the Shanyu he established left and right sages, left and right kings of Guli, left and right generals, etc. And the left and right generals were appointed.

The Xian King is above the You Xian King. Generally, the Left Xian King is held by the son of Shan Yu. This is also the crown prince in the traditional sense of the Central Plains and the legal heir of Shan Yu.

King Zuo Xian led their army to the east of Chan Yuting, and King You Xian led his army to the west of Chan Yuting. The official positions of Xiongnu ministers are all hereditary, so there are some hereditary nobles within the Xiongnu. For example, Huyan, who got up early

The three surnames of the Huns, namely the Lan family and the Xub family, were known as the three nobles in the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu had a custom. They stipulated that in the first month of each year, all the kings and rulers would gather at Shanyuting. Every May, they would hold a grand gathering in Longcheng.

When the Huns buried their dead, they had coffins but no graves.

When the Huns fought, the spoils captured by each soldier belonged to themselves, and the captured prisoners could serve as their own slaves. Therefore, the Huns fought for personal interests. This also enabled the Huns to fight bravely during the war.

In the past, they were extremely brave. Moreover, the Xiongnu also had an unwritten rule that if someone died on the battlefield, whoever brought the body of his companion back would be eligible to inherit all the deceased's property.

After more than ten years of hard work by Modun Chan, the Xiongnu had become a powerful nomadic empire with a complete system. So how should the Han Dynasty, which had just stabilized the situation in the Central Plains, deal with a rising military superpower?

Short story: In life, many people tend to be too high-minded when doing things, setting unrealistic goals for themselves, or they are not focused on doing things, and they never want to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time, so they often suffer.

To failure. Any kind of success in the world is not achieved overnight. It requires us to grasp ourselves, cherish the present, and be down-to-earth. Especially for college students who have just graduated and are not deeply involved in the world, no matter how unimportant the job your boss assigns you to do, it will

It should be seen as "a good opportunity to take a step forward".

Cali Ophelia, the former chairman of Hewlett-Packard, which once took the international business world by storm, has done a very good job.

Ofelina graduated from the prestigious Stanford University in the United States. All the college students who graduated there were very arrogant, and they only focused on supervisors or white-collar, gold-collar and other positions. However, Ofelina found the first job

My job is to work as an "operator" in a real estate investment brokerage company.

The job of an operator is simple and boring, such as answering the phone, typing, copying, etc. This does not seem to be what a Stanford student should do, but Ophelia does not think so. On the contrary, she does it very seriously. She

I believe that no matter what job you do, you can learn a lot and learn the knowledge and skills needed for the job. The key is to see how you treat it.

It was in these most basic, seemingly simple jobs that Ofelina was trained and accumulated rich secretarial experience. Later, when Ofelina got the opportunity to write manuscripts, she stood out. In this regard,

Ofelina believes that it was her job as an "operator" that helped her get the opportunity to completely change herself.

It can be seen that no matter what you do, as long as you are down-to-earth, you will succeed. Although not every simple job can give you the opportunity to exercise, you can rise from it. But if you don’t want to start from the grassroots level at the beginning

If we start, we are very likely to say goodbye to the opportunities that could have been ours. Therefore, if you want to succeed, you must cherish what you have in front of you and work down-to-earth. No matter where you are now or where you will be in the future
