: Predicting things like a god

The Southern Xiongnu were in charge of Qiangqu. Since the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu had gradually fallen into various internal and external conflicts. At the beginning of its existence, it was due to the cold climate in the north and the sharp deterioration of the living environment that some Huns migrated southward.

Within the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they surrendered to the central rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty in exchange for living space and material support.

The Southern Xiongnu retained the Chanyu and most of the Xiongnu political ruling system, but were also subject to strict control from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Huns played an important role in guarding the border as a barrier between the Han Dynasty and the Northern Huns. However, as the natural environment in the north further deteriorated, some Northern Huns continued to move south to join the Southern Huns, and the remaining

The Northern Xiongnu were also forced to abandon their original lands and migrate to West Asia and even Europe under constant attacks from the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei.

When the power of the Northern Xiongnu gradually collapsed, the existence of the Southern Xiongnu itself became no longer as important as it was at the beginning. In addition, the Eastern Han Dynasty, in view of some lessons learned between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, was never willing to see the Southern Xiongnu.

Completed unification and integration with the Northern Huns.

In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns who fled in large numbers from the northern Huns into the southern Huns were called the newly surrendered Huns. They were initially forced to live in the area north of the southern Xiongnu. After many years of living together, although these newly surrendered Huns

It has been integrated with the original political life system of the Southern Xiongnu to a certain extent, but it has always been strictly controlled by the Eastern Han Dynasty. As a result, this part of the newly surrendered Hu has created an irreparable gap between the Southern Xiongnu and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

contradiction.

In the fifth year of Yongyuan, after the death of the eighth Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, serious chaos broke out within the Southern Xiongnu, which eventually led to the more than 200,000 newly surrendered Huns leaving the Southern Xiongnu. They broke through the blockade of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and finally crossed the Yinshan Mountains and

Moving north into the prairie, the crisis became known as the Fenghou Rebellion.

After the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty interfered more and more closely with the Southern Xiongnu. From the beginning, it never interfered with the succession of the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu to later interfering with the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu's succession many times. The existence of the Eastern Han Dynasty actually led to the Southern Xiongnu's succession.

The Chanyu's ability to control the entire southern Xiongnu tribe continued to decline.

When the Shanyu's ability to control the Southern Xiongnu declined, he would further rely on the intervention from the Eastern Han Dynasty, which led to a vicious cycle, which continued to trigger rebellions within the Southern Xiongnu. This situation continued after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It has become more and more serious. At this time, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns has very weak internal control ability.

The number of Southern Huns themselves is not large, so the number of rebels in the Southern Huns is also very limited, and the rebellion itself is often relatively scattered. The internal governance structure of the Huns is much looser than that of the Central Plains Dynasty. The tribes have only a few months each year.

Regular meetings, as well as some particularly important events, will be gathered together under the convocation of Shanyu.

Most of the time, each tribe does its own thing, and the Shanyu itself will not interfere too much with these tribes. Therefore, many rebellions in the Southern Huns are difficult to resolve once and for all.

The problem is, maybe today we just finished countering the rebellion, and in a few days there will be another rebellion in another tribe.

Therefore, counterinsurgency itself is a long-term and arduous task. Of course, for ordinary soldiers who are eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, this task is often one of the few opportunities they can seize that can change their own destiny.

Dong Zhuo did not send his close generals to carry out the counter-insurgency mission. Instead, he sent Xiang Yu, who was young and lacked backing and had no merit. It must be said that he had many considerations of his own.

On the one hand, I definitely want to train Xiang Yu, and by the way, I want to review Xiang Yu's training results in the past two years. At the same time, I also want Xiang Yu to win a certain amount of military merit through this opportunity. This will also make it easier for him to seek a higher military rank for Xiang Yu in the central government in the future.

Even the title, to a certain extent, Dong Zhuo is actually a good boss and a good boss. He has always been very generous to his subordinates who are loyal to him.

The Southern Xiongnu rebels were attacked by ten cavalrymen led by Xiang Yu. After returning, Xiang Yu rewarded the five men who were still alive. Upon seeing this, many other soldiers also expressed their determination and ideas to follow Xiang Yu in the battle.

But Xiang Yu was not in a hurry at this time. He just let his men continue to camp in the same place. They neither continued to march north nor did anything else. They even stopped the training that had to be carried out every day.

This situation lasted for several days. During this period, some scouts sent by the Southern Xiongnu rebels were observing nearby from time to time. That night, suddenly there were loud shouts outside the tent, as if an enemy was attacking at night.

However, after a while, only the sound of killing was heard, but there was no real enemy attack. Xiang Yu quickly dressed neatly and walked out of the tent. In the distance, he saw many torch lights dotted in the distance that seemed to be moving away.

"General Xiang, these Huns rebels are so cunning. They took advantage of the darkness to approach our tent. They just created the illusion of attacking but did not actually launch an attack. They obviously wanted to confuse us!"

One of Xiang Yu's lieutenants said, and Xiang Yu thought he was right. "Give me the order to put the entire army on alert. No one is allowed to leave their tents to fight without permission."

"General Xiang, they are clearly using a deceitful strategy of pretending to attack to make us nervous. I'm afraid they will feint again in the future, and our soldiers will be exhausted after a few times.

, when the time comes, they will catch us off guard by waiting for work, so my subordinates believe that we must look for opportunities to take the lead in attacking, or temporarily withdraw our troops!"

Xiang Yu glared at the adjutant. The adjutant was really frightened by Xiang Yu's glare.

"You just need to arrange more people to strengthen the vigilance. I will only worry about the rest."

After saying this, Xiang Yu turned around and walked towards the central tent, leaving the lieutenant with his hands hanging in the air, as if he wanted to say something more, but couldn't.

The next day Xiang Yu ordered that everything should continue as usual. No matter what tricks the Southern Huns rebels were playing outside, they would not react. If the Southern Xiongnu rebels really came to attack them in a large scale, they would immediately fight back. If the Southern Xiongnu rebels were just feigning an attack, they would just let it go.

It's up to them to perform.

After repeated attacks like this, the Southern Xiongnu rebels actually launched two more feint attacks. At this time, Xiang Yu ordered his soldiers to be on high alert at all times and be prepared to fight the Southern Xiongnu rebels.

At this time, many of Xiang Yu's soldiers felt a little strange, especially the deputy general who always followed Xiang Yu. He was confused. When Xiang Yu saw his confusion, he said: "You will know soon!"

The lieutenant general had no choice but to suppress his doubts and follow Xiang Yu's orders to strengthen the defense of the camp so that the soldiers would be ready for battle at any time.

It was late at night again one day, and the Southern Huns rebels once again attacked at night. However, unlike the previous times when they shouted loudly and with alarming force, this time they came somewhat quietly. Hundreds of horses came from the darkness, approaching.

Then he let go of the charge and headed straight for where Xiang Yu's troops were camped. This time the attack finally seemed to be real!

The deputy general exclaimed when he saw this, and he didn't know if he was surprised by Xiang Yu's intelligence. He seemed to have expected the opponent to attack in advance.

Although the opponent's attack was fierce, Xiang Yu's soldiers were already ready to fight. The camping place they chose had high slopes on both sides, which was not conducive to cavalry charges. Xiang Yu directly ordered a passage to be opened to allow the southern Xiongnu rebels.

The cavalry successfully rushed into the camp.

At this time, the crossbowmen who had already been deployed on the high slopes on both sides quietly poked their heads out, and two rounds of crossbow arrows streaked through the dark night, shooting towards the position where the Southern Huns cavalry came in.

The Southern Xiongnu rebel cavalry, which originally attacked at night, was in full momentum. They thought Xiang Yu's troops were so vulnerable that the camp was not defended at all. When their hearts were full of arrogance, they shot through them with ruthless and cold arrows.

The thin layer of leather armor on their bodies penetrated directly into their flesh and blood.
