Wu Zhao heard this and whispered: "The Huns also have ghosts and gods."
Although the Han and Huns were attacking each other at that time, there are different opinions on the origin of the Huns and there has never been a conclusion.
Even the Huns themselves are vague about their ancestors.
"Historical Records" believes that the Xiongnu were originally Shanrong, 烃狁, and Xunzhu. Wang Guowei's "Guifang Kunyi 烃狁 Research" believes that the ghosts, hunyi, and 獯狋 were in the Shang Dynasty, and the 烃狋 in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn Period The Rong and Di at that time, and the Hu during the Warring States Period, were all known as the Xiongnu in later generations.
Some Huns consider themselves descendants of Yu the Great, so they call themselves "Xia people", which shows that it is possible that in ancient times, some ethnic groups of the Huns were of the same origin as the Chinese nation.
Although there are many debates, later generations generally believe that the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty were not a single ethnic group, nor did they have a unified language. They may include different languages such as Turkic, Mongolian, Yenisey, Tocharian, Iranian, and Uralic languages. .
The Huns also call themselves Hu people. The name of the Huns may be a contemptuous name for them, or it may be because "Xiongnu" and "Hu" are both pronounced as "people" in Turkic and Mongolian languages.
However, no matter what the facts are, the entanglement between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu has lasted for hundreds of years, and the killings and grievances in the middle can no longer be stopped. Just like the Yellow Emperor Chi You's attack, the war can only be stopped if one party is eliminated.
After listening to Wu Zhao's words, Yuan Xi smiled and said: "The theories of ghosts and gods are illusory. I told the soldiers to report my name when digging the grave. If there is retribution, it will be directed at me."
We materialist warriors are not afraid of this!
"I also took the lead in digging the first few Xiongnu tombs myself."
"In a tomb of a Xiongnu noble, in addition to armor, there are often dozens of corpses wearing Han women's clothes."
"Even so, does the girl think it's inappropriate to dig their graves?"
Wu Zhao heard this and said softly: "Even the big Han people often have a system of burial."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Not necessarily everything in the Han Dynasty is correct."
Wu Zhao opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Qu Yi was driving in front, and after hearing this, a complicated and unintelligible smile appeared on his lips.
Only then did Yuan Xi realize that he had made a mistake. He was a little surprised. How could he say such words so easily?
Although Wu Zhao has good facial features, her face is not very attractive for people to look directly at. The reason why Yuan Xi is willing to talk to her is because of her extraordinary knowledge and gentle conversation, which Yuan Xi feels is of great benefit.
Wu Zhao seemed to have noticed Yuan Xi's thoughts and hurriedly said: "I have no intention of criticizing the general. Everything the general does is for others, which makes me admire him very much."
"I'm just worried that the Huns will come to take revenge on the general after they find out."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I'm not the only one digging their graves."
"The Biography of Wuhuan and Xianbei in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records: During the reign of Emperor Zhao, Wuhuan was getting stronger and stronger, and the Xiongnu Chanyu was sent to the tomb to retaliate against Maodun. The Xiongnu were furious and attacked Wu in the east.
At this time, Wuhuan, who had always been a subordinate of the Xiongnu, recovered its strength and repaid Maodun's grievances by digging the ancestral graves of the Xiongnu. The two sides also had wars from time to time.
"Moreover, the relationship between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty has long been established. I even killed their Shanyu's son. How afraid are I?"
Wu Zhao listened and said solemnly: "I have been kidnapped for several months, so I can understand some of their language. When I was forced to play music in the camp, I heard their northbound route, but it is a bit unreasonable."
When Yuan Xi heard this, he became interested and said, "Please ask the girl for advice."
Wu Zhao nodded and said, "The royal court of the Southern Xiongnu is not located outside the Great Wall, but within Bingzhou."
"Although the current Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo is monitored by the Han generals Liao and the Zhonglang generals who protect the Xiongnu, and is nominally subordinate to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty is now in chaos. Liu Bao, as the son of the Shanyu, can go south to plunder, which shows that the Southern Xiongnu has already out of control."
"They dared to plunder openly in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty. They are not afraid of the Han court. They are not only bold, but I am afraid they also have something to rely on."
"I guess they went north from Youzhou, Jizhou, instead of returning to Bingzhou from Zuofengyi, which is closer. It seems unreasonable, but it is likely that they have established some connections, so they can feel free to take this route."
"If the Southern Xiongnu learns that the general has killed Liu Bao, they may not raise troops to retaliate. This place is located at the junction of You and Bing, only a few hundred miles away from the royal court of the Xiongnu. I'm afraid they will arrive in a blink of an eye."
"What worries me even more is that the mastermind of the collusion with the Southern Xiongnu is very likely to be south of the young master, such as Zhang Yan's Black Mountain bandits."
"If Beixin City is attacked from both sides, it will be difficult to defend against it. I hope you can make preparations in advance."
Qu Yi listened in front, he laughed and said: "Young master, you can rescue any woman at random, and you have such insight?"
"This girl knows more about soldiers than my subordinates!"
Yuan Xi thought to himself that he might have found a treasure. Wu Zhao might have been an attendant in the palace of some imperial official, so he was so familiar with the general trend of the world.
It seems that if there are problems in the south, there are also problems in the north.
Because according to Dong Zhao's guess, Gongsun Zan is very likely to have colluded with the Southern Xiongnu!
The route of Liu Bao's group may pass through Beixin City from the west, and then take Wuruan Pass, which is more than a hundred miles away to the north, directly to the outside of the Great Wall.
The key is that Wuruan Pass is now under the control of Gongsun Zan. Under normal circumstances, how can Liu Bao and his group get by?
Therefore, Dong Zhao guessed that it was most likely that the Southern Xiongnu and Gongsun Zan had reached a deal. Gongsun Zan released Liu Bao out of seclusion to contain the Wuwan Xianbei people who were at odds with Gongsun Zan.
Taking Dong Zhao's guess as the premise, Yuan Xi used this matter to have a bet with Zhao Yun, who knew nothing about it, and to drive a wedge between him and Gongsun Zan.
Although this matter cannot be said to be fair and square, Yuan Xi has too few cards in his hand, not to mention Gongsun Zan's lack of integrity.
However, after Yuan Xi and Zhao Yun fought side by side, they realized that they were wrong about some things, very wrong.
Zhao Yun may not know the truth of this matter!
Zhao Ying agreed to kill the Huns with Yuan Xi. It was probably not just because of the bet, but because Zhao Yun really wanted to, like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, wipe out the Huns' enemies and save the Han people!
This can also explain why after the first battle, Zhao Yun readily admitted defeat and left with his troops without even taking the belongings.
If Zhao Yun really cared about Gongsun Zan's military orders, he would definitely not recognize the value of Liu Bao's head. In that case, Zhao Yun would win, and Yuan Xi would have nothing to do.
Just because Zhao Yun fought for his own ambitions and did not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, he readily admitted that Yuan Xi had defeated him by killing Liu Bao.
Therefore, Yuan Xi's plan can be said to be a hoax. If this is the case, Zhao Yun must have been dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan for a long time, and may have found an excuse to leave in the near future.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi suddenly woke up. Zhao Yun went back to report to Gongsun Zan without even sharing the property. Could he have realized it earlier?
If this were to happen, Zhao Yun would be in danger!
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi suddenly stood up from the car and said to Qu Yi immediately: "Order the troops and get out of the city!"
