Chapter 22 The Father of Morton: Touman Shanyu
When we mention the Huns, we will think of the greatest leader in the history of the Huns. Maodun Shanyu. Maodun defeated the Donghu, walked into the Yuezhi, and ordered the desert. He controlled the string for 400,000 people, and was strong for a while, and was the best in the world.
Then, Maodun took advantage of the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty to occupy the Hetao territory, harass the border of the Han Dynasty, and plunder countless wealth. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was very angry and raised an army of 300,000 to attack the Huns, but was defeated by Maodun's plan and was besieged Pingcheng, and almost captured by Maodun alive.
Fortunately, there was a resourceful Chen Ping beside Liu Bang, who came up with a strange plan for Liu Bang and ran back.
After Liu Bang's death, Maodun had another evil intention and sent a letter to Empress Dowager Lu, claiming that he wanted to go to Empress Dowager Lu, which was a great humiliation of the Han Dynasty.
It is precisely because of these two things that Maodun's reputation has spread throughout the world and is well-known.
In fact, Maodun was not the founder of the Huns, but the unification of the Huns. During his reign, the Huns reached its peak.
The real founder of the Huns should be Maodun's father: Touman Shanyu.
The Huns of Touman before the previous dynasties were not recorded in history, and they didn't even know the name, so it was difficult to verify his deeds. Even Touman Shanyu's deeds were not recorded in history books. However, there are two most famous things he did: one is that he did not take Maodun seriously and wanted to kill Maodun, so he sent Maodun as a hostage. This was annoyed by Maodun. After Maodun escaped, Touman thought he was very good and trusted, but he did not expect that Maodun had the heart of his biological father and finally killed Touman Shanyu.
Another thing is that after Qin Shihuang unified China, Touman Chanyu led hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu to go south. He wanted to occupy the Hetao territory, but Meng Tian was defeated by the Hetao territory. He had to lead a few troops to escape back.
It was this battle that caused the originally powerful Xiongnu national power to take a sharp turn for the Donghu Table Tennis. Donghu took advantage of the new defeat of the Huns and asked Maodun for a horse and a woman. Maodun gave it all without saying a word. Donghu thought Maodun was timid and afraid of things, so he asked for land. Maodun did not give it this time. Instead, he summoned troops from all over the country to fight for Donghu.
Donghu didn't expect that Maodun, the timid Shanyu, dared to attack Donghu. He was caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties, lost land, and suddenly declined.
After obtaining the land of Donghu for thousands of miles, the Huns suddenly became stronger. Maodun turned around and dealt with another mortal enemy of the Huns, Yuezhi. After defeating Yuezhi, Maodun made the head of the Yuezhi King into a wine vessel, which made the Yue clan angry Mo Ming.
At the time of Maodun, there should be three reasons why the Huns were so powerful: one was that Maodun himself was able to do so; the second was that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he occupied the Hetao territory; and the third was that the foundation was laid by the Touman Shanyu.
If you want to find a similar relationship between the father and son of Toman Shanyu and Maodun Shanyu, it may be the relationship between Philip and Alexander the Great. Philip created the famous "Macedonian square formation", laying a solid foundation for the strength of Macedonia. Alexander the Great carried forward on the basis of his father and achieved great achievements in his lifetime.
The relationship between Touman Chanyu and Maodun Chanyu is similar to this.
When Qin Yiren heard about the name of Touman, he was surprised. He never expected that Wusunluo was the crown prince of the Huns, Touman, the founder of the Huns.
"Why should I call you Touman or Wusunluo?" Qin Yiren's eyes flashed sharply, he looked at Touman and shouted in a deep voice. The sound was loud, like thunder.
"Forgive me, Young Master Yi." Touman greeted Qin Yiren again and said, "Touman admired the Central Plains civilization, read more books from the Central Plains, and yearned for the Central Plains. When the young master held a ceremony of talent sweeping the ritual, he went to participate in the grand event. For safety reasons, he had to use the title of Wusunluo, the prince of Wusun tribe."
"Who is Wusunluo?" Qin Yiren asked after suppressing his anger.
"He is." Touman pointed at a big man riding a horse beside him.
Qin Yiren saw that this person was tall and similar to Touman. Moreover, this person was very smart and heroic.
"No wonder Meng Zhao didn't find it out at that time." Wusun Luo knew it at a glance. Touman used his name to go to Handan to participate in the trophy ceremony. It was really difficult to find out.
"Young Master, this is all my dereliction of duty. Please punish me." Meng Zhao looked self-blame.
"Young Master, I don't blame Meng Zhao." Huang Shi Gong said to Meng Zhao: "There are so many tribes in the Huns. Don't talk about our Central Plains, even the Shanyu don't know the detailed number. Meng Zhao has done his best."
"Yes." Qin Yiren nodded and said, "Meng Zhao, don't take it to heart, you do your best."
Under the circumstances at that time, it was not easier to find out Tou Man's identity than to climb to the sky. At that time, Qin Yiren had not established an intelligence agency, so how could he find it out? Even if Qin Yiren established an intelligence agency, it might not be possible to find out. There has always been very little news in the desert.
"Young Master Xie." Meng Zhao's eyes were about to spurt out of fire, and he looked at Touman.
"Touman, if you don't stay in Mobei and run to Hetao, do you think the sword of the Qin Ruishi is not good?" Qin Yiren shouted in a deep voice, as if thunder was running.
"Please calm down your anger, Young Master Yi." Touman smiled on his face, and was so kind that it was even more cordial than seeing the Kunlun God. He said, "Touman is here, and there is a reluctance to ask for permission from the young master."
"Tell me," Qin Yiren wanted to buy time for Wang Jian and the others, so he naturally had to take advantage of this opportunity to act.
"The Qin Dynasty is clear and politically clear, its national power is extremely strong, its military power is greatly increased, and the world respects it. The Great Huns also admire the Great Huns." Touman first flattered him and slapped him loudly, saying: "The Great Huns are willing to make good friends with the Great Qin and never offend the Qin border for a hundred years. The sincerity of the Great Huns can be seen. Please also ask the young master to agree to the Touman's request for the sincerity of the Great Huns."
Touman is eloquent and says that the Huns are afraid of Qin's power as if they are sincere in making friends with Qin. This person's eloquence is really good, and he can really turn black and white.
Unfortunately, he met Qin Yiren. Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Good friends? You can say it out loud! The Qin army is extremely powerful, who dares to provoke the Qin? Even if you Huns, you will be frightened when you see the shadow of Qin! Even if you give you ten leopard courage, you will not dare to approach the border of our Qin! It is not for you to make friends with the Qin, but for you Huns, you don't have this courage!"
Qin Yiren's words were too damaging, which greatly exposes the Xiongnu's background and exposes the Xiongnu's background to the sky. Moreover, he still speaks rudely and does not leave any affection.
"That's it!" The Qin generals heard it, and they were very proud of their heads and chests.
The Qin State's military power is so powerful that it not only shocks the Shandong countries, but also makes the Huns and other foreign races dare not do anything. How exciting is this.
In contrast to the pride of the Qin general, Touman had a fever on his face, and the fire was burning, and his eyes were like a squirting out of fire. He felt that Qin Yiren was not talking, he was simply slapping him hard.
If he could, he would want to rush forward and tear Qin Yiren to eat. He is the crown prince of the Huns, who dares to disrespect him so much? Who dares to expose the Huns in front of him?
Even the first-class Warring States Period, Zhao State did not dare to do so.
Qin Yiren dared to speak like a knife, and he couldn't be ashamed of being too uncomfortable.
"Qin Yiren, let you be arrogant. After the Great Huns occupy the Hetao land and the strong soldiers and horses will be strong, we will definitely repay the humiliation today!" Touman thought viciously in his heart.
But he didn't dare to show it at all, and he had to smile with his face. The smile on his face was layered layer after layer, and he asked tentatively: "Why did the Yiren young man come to the Hetao land? Hetao is bitter and cold, not as comfortable as Xianyang."
"Where is this young master going? Do you still want to say hello to you?" Qin Yiren said like a knife, without any politeness.
"No, no, don't think too much about Yi Ren." The smile on Touman's face became even more friendly, and he kept saying: "If I had known that Yi Ren came to Hetao, Touman would have come to meet. When I was in Handan, thanks to the care of the young master, Touman always remembered it in his heart and did not dare to forget it for a moment. Today, Touman was very excited to see the young master again."
He pretended to be excited, his eyes shining, his face turned red, and his acting skills were really good.
"You know that the princes and grandsons of the Qin Dynasty have no privileges, and their fame and fortune are self-reliant." Qin Yiren glanced at Touman and said, "If you cannot establish your own fame, you will be just an old soldier until you are old. This young master has to come to Jiuyuan County for training."
"Oh!" Touman looked dazed, and then he praised Da Kuat, saying, "This is why the Qin Dynasty is strong! Think about the land in Shandong, where princes and grandsons are raised by women and grow up in the deep palace, not knowing the sufferings of the people, and not knowing the general trend of the world, how can they become weapons? The Young Master Yiren is the number one scholar in the world, and with this experience, he will definitely have a bright future. Touman here wishes the Young Master a great achievement!" He held his fist and bowed, and looked very happy, as if he was happy for Qin Yiren.
"It was not originally coming to fight the Great Huns, that's good, that's good." Touman felt ecstatic in his heart, and he wanted to sing loudly, but the occasion was wrong, so he had to endure it forcibly.
What he was most worried about was that the Qin army came to attack the Huns. According to Qin Yiren's wishes, he was not attacking the Huns. Is there anything that made him more happy than this?
"You are intent, Yi Ren thanked me here." Qin Yi Ren replied with a fist: "What are your requests?"
"It's a request, it's a request." Touman muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only say: "Tuman has a reluctant request. Li Mu is the dead enemy of the Great Huns. I also asked the Yiren Young Master to hand him over to the Great Huns for the sake of the friendship between the Great Huns and the Great Qin."
"You're so unreasonable!" Qin Yiren frowned, like a sharp sword, and said, "Why should I hand over it? You'll hand over it as soon as you say you hand it over. Where will Daqin's face be placed? Where will I put this face be placed?"
A series of questions were like a cannon. Tou Man heard it, but he was happy in his heart. Qin Yiren did not refuse it at once, which proved that there was a chance for this matter. It also shows that Qin and Zhao did not join forces to deal with the Huns, so how could he not be happy?
"Young Master Yi Ren said that the Great Huns were willing to thank each other for a thousand horses, a thousand cows, and a thousand sheep." Touman was also a shrewd man, and actually reduced the benefits promised by Shanyu by four-fifths.
