Chapter three hundred and forty-four: the cracked Wuhuan alliance
Chapter 344: Wuhuan Alliance with cracks
After Zhao Xin arrived in Macheng, he transferred several generals from Zhao State to the northern border, such as Li Rengong, Sima Tai, Chen Ping, Chen Kai, Le Ting and others also came to Macheng to prepare for a big fight with the Wuhuan people!
This time, the troops used by Zhao State to deal with the Hu people were the most powerful in history. It was not that the Wuhuan people were so powerful, but because since last winter, Zhao State was attacked by Qin State and Chu State, losing half of Shangdang County and a Pei County, and threatened by Deng State. Although this did arouse the anger of the Zhao people, it inevitably had a great blow to the morale of the Zhao army, especially the delay in getting the lost territory back, which made many people wonder what happened to the Zhao army, which was once invincible? Where did it go? Why was it bullied like this? So this time Zhao Xin came to the northern border, in addition to solving the Wuhuan people, more importantly, it was to bring back the lost confidence of the Zhao people.
In Zhao Xin's opinion, a powerful enemy is not terrible, but the Zhao State without confidence is the most worrying thing. As long as the people of Zhao rebuild their confidence, Zhao Xin believes that temporary failure is nothing, because Zhao State will take it back hundreds of times in the future.
"The northern border is so beautiful, and the beautiful mountains are so beautiful that I can never get tired of seeing it!" Zhao Xin led all the generals to stand at the head of Macheng City and look into the distance, expressing his feelings. This is not the first time Zhao Xin has come to the northern border, but he has come again after many years. The last time he came, he was still a young man in his prime, but now he is old. His former prime and his days have long been around, and he has become old now. Time is not waiting for me, and life is so fast.
"General, the news came back from our army's detailed work that in recent days, people from the east and west departments in the Wuhuan tent have been gathering, not knowing what to discuss, but they never parted in happiness!" Sima Chong, who was standing beside him, said to Zhao Xin.
As the biggest opponent in the northern border of Zhao State, Zhao State has always installed a large number of fine works in Wuhuan, but because it is not a Wuhuan person, it cannot enter the Wuhuan tent. However, it has also sent back a lot of useful information to Zhao State over the years. However, this time Wuhuan went south and knew nothing, which made Zhao Xin very dissatisfied. If it weren't for Zhao State, it wouldn't have to be so passive.
Hearing Sima Chong's words, Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "The Wuhuan should be discussing a very important matter, and it may even be a major event that determines the future of Wuhuan. Otherwise, there would not be so many senior officials gathered. However, it seems that they are not in a good conversation now, and it is even very likely that there will be a crack between this time, which is very beneficial to our army!"
Although he didn't know what the Wuhuan people were discussing, the keen Zhao Xin realized at the first time that he had parted with a disagreement for several days. There might have been cracks inside the Wuhuan, which would be very helpful for the subsequent battle.
"Then General, when will our army counterattack the Wuhuan?" Sima Chong asked again.
"What? General Sima is anxious?" Zhao Xin said to Sima Chong with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Xin's words, Sima Chong said a little embarrassedly: "It's certain to be anxious. General. I don't know how frustrating we were before you came. I feel very uncomfortable watching the Wuhuan people show off their power under the city every day!"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer. Now the Wuhuan people must have a major discussion, and they are the kind that cannot compromise with each other. Let them talk for a few more days so that the rift between them will become bigger and bigger, and we will also need to deploy it!" Although Sima Chong was very anxious, Zhao Xin was not anxious at all. He asked the Wuhuan people to talk for a few more days, so that the rift between them will become bigger and bigger.
As Zhao Xin said, the Wuhuans of the East and West have always been uncompromising each other on the issue of unification, and even confrontations between the tribes have occurred many times, and the rifts between them are getting bigger and bigger.
The two Wuhuan Khans in the east and west, the eastern part called the Aconitou Khan and the western part called the Tanbuwen Khan. They were brothers, both of whom were the sons of the Wuhuan Great Khan. After the death of the old Shanyu, they refused to surrender to each other, so the once powerful Wuhuan Empire was divided into two groups, and the forces they obtained were equal. The only difference was that the Huns were divided into the west and the Xianbei people were divided into the east.
In recent years, the Wuhuans of the East and West have been attacking each other, and they are evenly matched, so after unification, who will become the Great Shanyu will not give in to each other.
"Our Aconitu Chanyu is the eldest son of the old Shanyu. According to the Central Plains people, Aconitu Chanyu is the eldest son of the old Shanyu, and it should be the eldest son of the big Shanyu!" In the Wuhuan tent, the people from the east and west Wuhuan were still arguing. The person who just spoke was Sangjieer, the Zuoxian King of Wuhuan in the eastern Wuhuan. His words were supported by the entire Wuhuan in the eastern Wuhuan.
But as soon as he said this, the people of Wuhuan in the west disagreed. Juelli, the right wise king of Wuhuan in the west, came out and said: "According to this, our mother of Tanbuwen Shanyu is my Wuhuan Que clan, and the status is equivalent to that of the people of the Central Plains. According to the people of the Central Plains, Tanbuwen Shanyu is the legitimate son of the old Shanyu, and it is legitimate to be the Great Shanyu!" As soon as Juelli said this, the people of Wuhuan in the west supported him.
In fact, according to the rules of the Wuhuan people, whoever is stronger will be the Great Chanyu, but now the Wuhuans are evenly matched, and they are half a dozen. In order to compete for the position of the Great Chanyu, these Wuhuan people did not hesitate to move out of the Central Plains to establish the eldest son, but instead the Aconitu Chanyu and Tanbuwen Chanyu who were sitting on the main positions on both sides were indifferent and kept smiling at each other. After all, these quarrels were enough to let their subordinates go. To be a big boss, you must have the style of being a big boss.
"Tanbuwen, it seems that there is no reason for this today, so why not just part with it?" After a day of argument, there was no result. The aconite Chanyu said to Tanbuwen Chanyu, "Why forget it today."
Tanbuwen Shanyu nodded. He knew that he could not talk about anything today, so he said, "Brother, just do whatever he says. Since that's the case, I will say goodbye first!" After that, he took the people from Wuhuan in the west and left.
After Tanbuwen Chanyu left, Sanjieer said to the aconitum Chanyu: "Da Shanyu, this Tanbuwen is really ungrateful. It is obvious that the Great Shanyu is the eldest brother, and this position should be the Great Shanyu sits!"
Aconite Chanyu smiled and said, "You don't know Tanbuwen's thoughts. If he hadn't jumped out to fight for me, Wuhuan wouldn't have split up. Why would he have to look at the faces of the people in the Central Plains?"
When the old Khan thought of the original incident, the Aconitu Shanyu was unhappy. The old Khan of Wuhuan was seriously injured and died before he returned to Wuhuan Mountain in the Wuhuan clan. Before he could designate an heir, the news came back to Wuhuan Mountain, the Aconitu Shanyu announced his inheritance of the Great Khanyu as the eldest son of the old Khanyu, and also received the support of all tribes in the eastern Wuhuan Mountain. However, when the Aconitu Shanyu was worshiping the sky, his younger brother Tanbuwen Shanyu jumped out and declared himself the new Khanyu of Wuhuan, and he also received the support of all the tribes of Wuhuan in the western part. Later, the two gangs fought and finally the Aconitu Shanyu occupied Wuhuan Mountain in the Wuhuan clan. Tanbuwen Shanyu took the tribes who supported him to leave the former Xiongnu royal court, Langjuxu Mountain, to establish a royal court, and compete with the Aconitu Shanyu.
"That Great Shanyu, since Tanbuwen refused to surrender, what should we do?" Sanjeel asked.
The Aconitu Shanyu thought about it, then showed a fierce and ferocious expression and said, "Since Tan Buwen is so ungrateful, I don't have to take into account the brotherhood. When the war with the Zhao army begins, I will find a way to let Tan Buwen's people stand in front. As long as he weakens Tan Buwen's strength, he will have to give in if he doesn't let him go!" The Aconitu Shanyu's idea is also very simple, that is, to weaken the strength of the Wuhuan in the western region through the Zhao army. At that time, the eastern region is stronger than the western region, and Tan Buwen will surrender even if he does not surrender. After all, in the end, he still needs to speak with strength. As long as his strength is stronger than Tan Buwen, the position of the Great Shanyu will naturally be his own.
"The Great Khan is wise!" Sanjieer admired the plan of the Aconitou Chanyu. This trick was really wise to kill people with a knife, but if the people in the Central Plains heard it, they would probably despise them. After all, the Central Plains was tired of these tricks.
When the Aconitu Chanyu and Sanjieer didn't know, the Sanbuwen Chanyu who returned to their tent had the same idea as them. They both wanted to use the Zhao army to weaken the other party, and finally forced the other party to surrender with their strength. It has to be said that both brothers thought of one thing.
