On the road leading to the river, abandoned cattle, sheep, horses, and various materials can be seen everywhere.
The military minister is a smart man. He knows very well that as long as a person can escape back outside the Great Wall, he is still a great chanyu.
But if all the people were lost within the Han Dynasty, then he, the great Chanyu, would probably have reached his end.
Therefore, after it was determined that they could not break through Shiling Pass, the military officials immediately abandoned most of the livestock and supplies, and even abandoned many of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the tribe.
On the one hand, this is to reduce the burden and strive to get out of danger as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it was purely to seduce the Han army to be greedy and thereby delay the Han army's pursuit.
He was able to defeat his younger brother and become the Great Chanyu, not only because of his bloodline, but also because of his ability.
The effect was indeed effective. The military officials took the core tribe and their families along the way to the bank of the river. They only encountered a small group of blockers and failed to stop him from escaping.
When they got on the boat from the opposite bank of King Youxian who came to rescue urgently, the military ministers' worries finally came to an end.
"Great Chanyu."
King Youxian, King Loufan and other reinforcements met the military ministers on the shore.
The military minister didn't say much. After landing, he turned around and sat down on the shore.
Not only was he watching the small boats and even sheepskin rafts carrying his tribe back and forth, but he was also waiting for Yu Dan's arrival.
Naturally, he was more than just a son to Yu Shan, but Yu Shan was an heir whom he focused on cultivating.
Whether in the Han Dynasty or the Huns, it is not an easy task to cultivate a qualified heir.
At the same time, Yu Shan, the heir whom the military minister Shan Yu longed for, was blocked in a village only more than 20 miles away from the river.
When Yu Dan escaped before, he had hundreds of elites with him.
But the Han army pursued him relentlessly, and all the people around Yu Shan were lost during the frenzied pursuit.
When we arrived here, where we could almost hear the faint sound of the waves of the river, we were finally caught up by Wei Qing with dozens of fine cavalry.
The reason why Wei Qing was able to surpass thousands of pursuing soldiers and successfully catch up with Yu Shan was not only because of their determined pursuit, but also because these Li Yunze's personal guards were all riding BMWs of this era.
He is fast, has good endurance, carries a heavy load, and has undergone strict training. He will not run around disobediently when he sees a mare, nor will he be disturbed by the noise on the battlefield.
Lying in the room, Yu Dan tried to stretch his legs.
A sharp pain came through, which immediately made him grin.
When he fled all the way to this village, the horse's hooves cracked during the long run on his horse, causing Yu Dan to fall to the ground.
This fall directly broke his leg.
A broken leg is really a fatal thing at this moment of escape.
The reason is very simple. If you have a broken leg, you can't ride a horse. If you can't ride a horse, even if the river is close at hand, you can't cross it in a hurry!
Yu Shan lamented his bad luck. If he knew that there was a kind of horse equipment called horseshoes in later generations, he would probably be angry to death.
There was a fierce fighting sound outside the house, which was the last warrior around him fighting for him.
Yu Shan stared blankly at the roof above his head, his heart ashen.
He knew that he was doomed, and if he fell into the hands of the Han army, his life would be worse than death.
Thinking of this, Yu Shan reached out and pulled out his golden dagger.
When the last few warriors in the room saw this, they immediately saluted Yu Shan.
Then they stood up, screamed and waved their weapons, and rushed out to fight with the Han army.
These warriors are fighting for the chance of glory for their masters.
It is more dignified to deal with oneself by oneself than to have one's head cut off in Han'er's hands.
Hearing the sound of fighting close at hand outside the house, Yu Dan gritted his teeth and placed the dagger across his neck.
The cold blade was pressed against his neck, and a red line was drawn out with a light touch. The severe pain made Yu Dan shiver suddenly.
The dagger in his hand was held further away.
He was the son of a great Chanyu when he was born, and he never suffered any grievances.
Later, he was named King Zuoxian, and he was even more prosperous and wealthy than tens of thousands of people.
In such a comfortable life, Yu Shan could never muster the courage to commit suicide.
The dagger was pressed against his neck several times, and then hesitantly took it away. He went back and forth several times, and precious time was naturally lost with it.
As the sound of dense footsteps came, several Han soldiers covered in blood poured into the house.
Seeing the Han army approaching, Yu Shan finally raised his dagger out of fear.
But the leader, Wei Qing, had quick eyes and quick feet. He stepped forward quickly and kicked Yu Dan on the wrist holding the dagger.
The dagger flew away, and the determination that Yu Shan had finally inspired also flew away with it.
He said tremblingly, "I am the Great Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and I am willing to surrender."
Li Yunze learned that when Yu Shan was captured, he was still more than fifty miles away from where the soldiers crossed the river.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Dou Ying finally came over and said with great joy, "King Zuo Xian has surrendered to me, this man. This is a great joy."
"Ah."
Li Yunze looked away noncommittally and looked at a strong man with a beard behind Dou Ying.
"Guan Fu, tell me, should Yu Shan deserve to die?"
"Of course he deserves to die!" Guan Fu, who was the Prime Minister of the Dai Kingdom, immediately saluted and responded, "Your Majesty, when Yu Dan attacked Jinyang City before, he forced the people to fill the city, and countless people died tragically at his hands. Such a traitor should be killed!"
Previously, Liu Qi wanted to merge the Kingdom of Dai into the Kingdom of Zhongshan, but King Dai transferred his title and left.
But before the matter could be settled, the army of military ministers had already broken through the pass and marched south, fighting all the way to Jinyang City and surrounding the city.
It is said that King Dai was so frightened that he was so frightened that he shouted for a breakout, cursed why the imperial reinforcements had not arrived, and shouted for surrender, which caused the hearts of the soldiers and people in the city to fluctuate.
At the critical moment, it was Prime Minister Guan Fu who stabilized the situation.
He first imprisoned the king in the palace, then recruited the strong men in the city to go up the city wall, opened the arsenal, distributed weapons, extorted money, and persuaded the wealthy households in the city to provide money, food and logistics, and boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians to defend Jinyang City.
If Guan Fu had not defended Jinyang City and Shanyu, the military minister, had taken the lead in conquering this city with a lot of wealth, materials and population, then this war would have gone in another direction.
Because if Jinyang City is captured, there is a great possibility that Shanyu, the military minister, can successfully withdraw his troops and leave the fortress before the reinforcements from Chang'an City arrive.
Because of this, Li Yunze had a good impression of Guan Fu, a loyal man.
In history, Guan Fu, because of his loyalty to help Dou Ying get ahead, offended Tian Fu, Cheng Wushi and others, and ended up having his whole family wiped out.
And Dou Ying also ended up being cut in half.
After hearing Guan Fu's words, Li Yunze nodded and said nothing more.
Dou Ying on the side still wanted to persuade him, but Guan Fu pulled him and shook his head slightly.
'You really can't see it? The king just wants to kill Yu Shan and save face for you, so he uses my mouth to give you a step forward. Don’t go overboard, be discerning! '
Dou Ying was stunned and then he stopped talking.
However, he looked at Li Yunze's back from time to time, his mind spinning a thousand times.
Compared to the Son of Heaven, the King of Zhongshan has a completely different character.
The emperor Liu Qi, who couldn't afford to lose after losing in chess and defeated the Prince of Wu in physics, changed his personality and liked to use magic.
It is really a perfect use of the emperor's character and methods.
The most outstanding one was when he calmly neutralized the threat posed by Liu Wu, King of Liang.
But King Zhongshan is completely different.
This great king doesn't like to use magic, but likes to use power.
Whether he sent troops to fight, or his many actions in Zhongshan Kingdom and Chang'an City, he directly used force to break the situation.
If I don't play tricks or tricks with you, I will use the upright trend to suppress you.
Dou Ying didn't want to say anything unpleasant.
But he knew very well in his heart that compared to the emperor who liked to use magic, King Zhongshan was more like an emperor. Upright and upright, we are invincible! '
'I am a big man, and I have many wise kings. '
When I came to the village, I saw Yu Dan tied up by Wu Hua Da.
Li Yunze, who was on horseback, couldn't help grinning as he looked at Yu Dan whose eyes were full of prayers for life.
Seeing Li Yunze smiling, Yu Shan also laughed.
Just when he was about to say some sincere words in order to survive, Li Yunze turned around and walked away.
"Take him and go to the river."
If the military minister Chanyu was somewhat organized when he fled across the river, then when the tribesmen abandoned by him fled, they were truly in disarray.
These people led oxen and sheep, carrying all kinds of messy objects on their backs, and rushed towards the river bank from all over the mountains and plains.
Most of the people in the Xiongnu tribe have no water ability at all. After all, they don't bathe all year round.
And the Yellow River here is famous for its spaciousness. The river is at least several hundred steps wide.
In order to survive, they fought for the few boats and sheepskin rafts, and even drew swords on each other.
Every time a boat or sheepskin raft approached the shore, there would be a fierce fight.
As the Han army behind them got closer and closer, many people couldn't wait and rushed into the river holding the wood.
Either carrying the lamb and rushing into the river, or carrying other messy things and running into the river.
It was not that they were unwilling to surrender, but that they knew that this invasion would cause great harm to the Han Dynasty. They killed countless people, set fire to and looted everywhere. They were committing all kinds of evil.
When the Han army came back from the killing, they naturally showed no mercy, especially the young men who were basically chopped into pieces on sight.
What does it mean to be defeated like a mountain? At this moment, Shanyu, the military minister on the other side of the river, witnessed with his own eyes a defeat like a mountain.
The silent military minister Shanyu finally saw his son Yushan.
When the Han army arrived at the shore, the Huns gathered on the shore dispersed.
Those who dare not go into the river can simply go into the mountains on both sides.
Li Yunze ignored the herdsmen and looked at the flag of the military minister Shan Yu on the other side. He turned his head and smiled at Yu Shan.
"Cut his head off and hang it up for the military officials to see clearly!"
