Hedusuo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You think I don't want to overthrow him? My people are also the ones who starve to death! But I have no soldiers in my hands and no prestige among the Huns. How can I defeat the powerful Heduye!" What do you think?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard the words. They wilted like eggplants beaten by frost. They could only keep pouring wine into their mouths.
At this time, the unknown Commander Wan Qi spoke: "I have a candidate who can replace Hedu Ye, and he is justified!"
After hearing this, several people looked at Se Leng in astonishment. He rarely talks, and he doesn't dare to offend Hedu. What plans can he have? But now that he was desperate, He Dusuo said: "Se Leng, if you have something to say, just say it. Now everyone has no idea, maybe it will work!"
Se Leng glanced around and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you still remember Mao Dun!"
The others were all new Commander Wan Qi. They had never heard of this name. Someone sarcastically said: "Huh! I thought you had some great ideas. Do you want this inexplicable Maodun to become a Shanyu? It's really crazy. Got it!"
He Dusuo frowned, suddenly took a breath of cold air, tugged at his stained hand, and said in disbelief: "Are you talking about Prince Moton?! He is still alive?!"
Everyone looked at He Dusuo's performance and immediately realized that things seemed not that simple.
Se Leng looked solemn and nodded: "Still alive! I went to inspect the southern border a few days ago. Suddenly someone intercepted me and took me to a mountain col. It was Prince Moton!"
"How many people are around him?"
"Not many, only three thousand people, but all of them are elite cavalry who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are definitely not comparable to the useless cavalry in Hedu Ye!"
No one cared at all that Selenglian scolded them all, and Hedusuo continued: "What did Prince Moton say to you?"
Seleng seemed to have made up his mind and whispered: "Prince Moton heard about the current situation of the Huns and was very angry. He vowed to kill Hedu and avenge the dead people! He asked me to find an opportunity to win over you and jointly overthrow Hedu. All too!"
Everyone heard the two of them chatting enthusiastically, and some people asked impatiently: "Who is Prince Moton?"
He Dusuo thought of the heroic young man, raised his head and recalled: "He is the eldest son of Touman Chanyu. Because Touman Chanyu believed in slander and thought that Mao Dun was an unlucky person, he sent him to Hujie. We went to the border to conquer Hu Jie. He was only ten years old when he left, and he only brought a thousand people with him. Everyone thought he would not survive. Unexpectedly, he survived until now, and he still has three thousand elite cavalry!"
Some people have doubts: "If he relies on the reputation of Touman Chanyu's son, he may be able to win over people's hearts, but he only has three thousand people, can he overthrow Hedu? Moreover, if he becomes a person like Hedu, then what will happen to Hedu?" What should I do?”
Hedusuo shook his head firmly: "Impossible! Just listening to Seleng's description, I know that Mao Dun is still the same heroic young man. He will definitely be able to lead the Huns to conquer the entire grassland!"
Another person said harshly: "We are at the end of our rope anyway, it is better to choose him than to sit back and wait for death!"
Seeing that some people were still hesitating, Seleng dropped another bombshell: "Prince Heda escaped to the south and happened to meet Prince Moton. Now he has been fed to the jackals!"
After hearing this, everyone was completely convinced by Mo Dun and immediately decided to help Mo Dun become the new Chanyu.
So, two days later, when Hedu was still drunk and dreaming, Maodun's divine soldiers descended from the sky and cut off Hedu's head directly. He subdued and reorganized Hedu's cavalry with lightning speed, and at the same time blockaded Hedu. After hearing the news, he ordered someone to pretend to be Hu Shang and head south.
In mid-February, Mao Dun, who had completely controlled the Huns, did not hesitate at all and immediately led 20,000 selected elite cavalry straight to the Wolf Court. Beihu was caught off guard, and all the 20,000 men stationed at Langting were wiped out. No news came out at all, and the price Mao Dun paid was only more than a thousand casualties!
Then Mao Dun hid around the Wolf Court, waiting for news.
On February 20th, when he received the news that the disguised Hu merchant was approaching the Jiuyuan Great Wall, Mao Dun immediately covered the remaining more than 10,000 old and weak cavalry and went straight to the foot of the Jiuyuan Great Wall, and the "goods" carried by the pretended Hu merchant But it was a siege tool made by Maodun!
Meng Tian was shocked. He did not expect that the Huns had traveled thousands of miles across Hudi and suddenly appeared at the foot of the Great Wall, carrying siege equipment. They were caught off guard. Fortunately, the Great Wall border troops had experienced battles for a long time and reacted instantly and began to resist in an organized manner.
But the 10,000 Xiongnu people seemed to be crazy. They did not care about casualties and attacked the Great Wall like a tide. Meng Tian could only resist with all his strength and mobilized troops to help.
At this time, Mao Dun, who was escorting the more than 10,000 cavalry, disappeared at the foot of the Great Wall with the remaining 20,000 elite cavalry.
Meng Tian immediately realized something was wrong. The Dayue clan suddenly sent troops, the Huns went crazy, and the missing Maodun were all too strange. He hurried 800 miles to send the news from the North back to Xianyang.
Just two days ago, Wu Jian, who was stationed in Helan Mountain, suddenly received a report from a scout: 20,000 cavalrymen of Dayue clan left Longshou Mountain and headed straight to the west of Yin Mountain.
Wu Jian remembered what I told him, and without any hesitation, he also ordered eight hundred miles to rush back to Xianyang. At the same time, he notified Meng Tian and rushed to the west of Yinshan Mountain with 30,000 fine cavalry.
It only took Wu Jian one day to reach the junction of Daqin and Dayuezhi.
The 20,000 cavalrymen of Da Yuezhi have arrived here, but they have not crossed the border between the two countries.
Wu Jian sent someone to question Da Yuezhi's general Bantes why he was marching on the border of Da Qin, but the reply he received was that they were only here to inspect Da Yuezhi's pastures and had no intention of invading Da Qin.
How could Wu Jian believe that they were here for tourism, but the other party did not enter Daqin and did not retreat, so they could only set up camp to confront them.
When Wu Jian learned that the Huns had appeared at the foot of the Jiuyuan Great Wall, he immediately realized that Da Yuezhi was here to contain his cavalry, but he could no longer escape. Otherwise, if Da Yuezhi drove straight in or attacked his rear, he might not be able to escape. Parry!

In Sihai Palace, everyone was shocked on the spot by the military report of the two men.
Zhang Han was the first to react: "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu attacked Jiuyuan County so crazily. I guess it is not as simple as plundering the Qin Dynasty!"
I frowned and kept thinking about Mo Dun. This man is so terrible. The troubles that have plagued the Central Plains Dynasty for two thousand years started with him. After Moton unified the grasslands, the Rong people in the north had the concept of a country and formed a national organization. They must not be given the opportunity to unify the grasslands! And how could Maodun be so clear about Da Qin's troop deployment?
Seeing that I didn't answer, Zhang Han asked cautiously: "Your Majesty?"
I came to my senses, stood up and walked quickly to the map, followed by the three of them.
After meditating on the map for a long time, I said with a gloomy face: "Zhang Han is right, Maodun's target is not Jiuyuan County, but the old Xiongnu territory!"
