This side of the royal court of the Xiongnu headquarters.
The cold wind was blowing, and the winter sunset was like blood, shining on the back of a tall middle-aged man with a strong body.
The middle-aged man was riding on an eight-foot black horse king, which represented dignity and authority.
Under the golden flag of the Hun King, the contemporary wolf lord and military minister Shan Yu swept his gaze across the land in front of him with deep eyes.
Behind him was the Royal Court's 100,000-strong army marching forward, with battle flags like clouds, surrounded by burning cities, and black smoke billowing straight into the sky.
"..."
"Yu Dan, do you know where this is?"
Shanyu, the military minister wearing the Khan's crown, his eyes flashing with inexplicable luster, swept across Yanmen Pass in the distance, and asked in a solemn voice.
"..."
At the beginning of the winter snow, the majestic fortress and the continuous tall Great Wall look ancient and proud, like a wild tiger or a dragon swimming on the top of the cliffs and steep peaks.
The city wall stretches as if it is connected to the sky, and the city and the mountain are integrated. This pass is Yanmen Pass, known as the first pass in the world.
Yanmen Pass strangles the Central Plains, locks the Jin Dynasty, is surrounded by dangerous mountains, and dominates the Yanmen Ridge.
Behind it is the Guanzhong area with flat ground and fertile land.
Once this pass is breached by foreigners, we will be in danger in the pass, we will be in danger in the Central Plains, and even Chang'an will be in danger.
"It is Yanmen Pass, the so-called first pass in the world, built by the Han people!"
A young man with black hair and about twenty years old next to him heard the words and replied respectfully.
This young man is wearing a gilded helmet, and the pattern on his battle robe behind him is the Sirius pattern that represents the direct lineage of the Xiongnu royal family.
He is Yu Shan, the prince of the Huns, and the next heir selected by the military minister Shan Yu to inherit Shan Yu's position.
"That's right, it's Yanmen Pass! Do you know what it will mean to our Hun Empire once this pass is captured?"
Hearing his son's words, the military minister Shan Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked again as if he was being tortured.
"..."
"It means that the Han people will be completely trampled under the feet of my father!"
Yu Dan said this after hesitating for a while.
"..."
"Haha, son, do you think so too?"
"The gaze of the majestic Crown Prince of the Hun Empire shouldn't be just like this..."
The military minister Shan Yu shook his head in disappointment, his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a frightening cold light.
"..."
For some reason, he seemed very excited at this moment.
Modun Shanyu raised his whip, pointed at Yanmen Pass, and said loudly.
"I don't know since when, people from all over the world on this continent have thought that we Huns are cruel and overbearing, and are capable of killing cities and destroying countries at every turn..."
"But, son, do you know?"
"Twenty years ago, when my father just ascended the throne of Khan, the first gift he received was not congratulations from all over the world..."
"It's the rebellion of various Xiongnu tribes and the joint siege of surrounding countries..."
When the military minister Shan Yu said this, he obviously paused, and a trace of ferocity flashed on his face.
"..."
"Led by the Da Yuezhi, they unite thirteen countries in the Western Region and Central Asia, with a total of 280,000 coalition forces, to suddenly invade our royal court."
"Due to the traitors, our Huns army was caught off guard and quickly defeated."
"At that time, the coalition forces of various countries had even penetrated deep into the Holy Land of the Royal Court..."
"My father will always remember that time, because it was a life-or-death day for my Xiongnu clan."
"..."
"My father is the spokesperson of Changshengtian on the earth, so he can lead our Xiongnu clan out of the predicament."
Under the stern gaze of the military minister Shan Yu, Yu Shan could not help but lower his head in shame, and said quickly with a nervous expression.
He knew about the war that caused heavy losses to the Huns.
But this was the first time he heard his father, as a person who experienced it, talk about that war.
Because in the heart of his father, the reason why that war made the powerful Huns so embarrassed...
The most deadly thing among them was not the external enemies, but the internal strife of the Xiongnu clan.
"..."
The Xiongnu Empire was extremely powerful and conquered countless countries. Its military might made the whole world tremble.
However, since ancient times, what can destroy an empire is often not external enemies, but internal strife and rebellion within the empire itself.
"Eternal Life? Hahahaha, my son, that's just a slogan for the outside world..."
"The high-altitude Changshengtian will not favor anyone. We can only rely on ourselves."
Having said this, the military minister Shanyu glanced at his son and shook his head in disappointment.
He knew that his son, who had not experienced internal and external troubles, and the life and death situation, would not know what the so-called real suffering was like.
This is also the main reason why I want to bring him with me this time.
"Remember, as a king, you must not place your hopes on ghosts and gods like those common people."
"It is always you who determines your own destiny, not some immortality."
The military minister Shan Yu curled his cold lips slightly, sneered, and said in a condensed voice.
As Mao Dun finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew across the earth.
The four armies of Lang Rui, Tian Lei, Tian Feng, and Tian Tu, with a total of more than 100,000 elite cavalry, lined up behind the two father and son.
There is no doubt that the two father and son who command the country and are extremely domineering are the contemporary Xiongnu Chanyu who led the army to invade the Han Dynasty and the next generation of Xiongnu Chanyu in the future.
"..."
The feud between the Han and the Xiongnu, the two great empires, included personal hatred and national hatred.
Of course, the most important thing is the struggle for interests.
"..."
"Yanmen Pass, this is my third time here!"
The military minister Shan Yu looked at the mottled and thick city walls in the distance, with continuous battlements, and the forts and beacons echoing each other in the distance. There were countless soldiers in the pass, waiting in formation, and he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
As he grows older, he now understands why more than a hundred years ago, his grandfather, Maodun Shanyu, the first Khan of the Huns Empire, would regard the Han as the first imaginary enemy target.
In fact, a hundred years ago, the battle between Maodun Shanyu and Han Emperor Liu Bang when he summoned hundreds of thousands of troops did not bring much benefit to the Xiongnu themselves.
But even if it was not beneficial to himself, Maodun Shanyu, a generation of genius, still chose to go to war with the Han.
The reason why Mengton Shanyu did this was due to a saying, "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers."
At that time, the Xiongnu had just established their country on the grasslands, and their foundation was not yet very solid.
The Han Dynasty, which inherited the Qin system and once again unified China, was undoubtedly a huge stumbling block for the Xiongnu to dominate the Eurasian continent.
At that time, if the Xiongnu wanted to dominate the mainland and realize their dream of an empire, their first goal was to suppress the Han Dynasty.
"..."
This is also true. After the great battle between the first generation Khan of the Xiongnu Empire, Maodun Shanyu, and the founding emperor of the Han Empire, Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty was greatly weakened and could only stick to one side.
