Chapter 89: The Huns' civil strife
In Linhe City, in the court of the Southern Xiongnu royal family, Qiang Qu Shanyu and his youngest son Huchuquan were discussing matters.
When Qiang Qu saw Hu Chuquan walking around, he immediately shouted, "What a panic? Look at what you want, you can't learn from your brother?"
Hu Chuquan did not have the same concentration as Qiangqu. He said anxiously: "Father, it's time for the leaders of those small tribes to rebel. Father, you are not in a hurry at all?"
Qiang Qu's face was calm, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Those tribes have followed my Luanti family for decades. Now they see that our Luanti family is no longer glorious, as if they have replaced it. Haha, son, you should summon the warriors of the clan to ambush the royal court, and then call the leaders of the tribe to come to the royal court to discuss matters. I want to see who is dissatisfied with my Luanti family!"
Hu Chuquan was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly responded, "I'll do it now!" After that, he turned around and walked out of the tent quickly.
At noon, the leaders of each tribe were called into the royal court by Hu Chuquan.
Among these people, there are old and young people, who whisper in this tent, and they don’t know what the Qiangqu calls them to come.
Seeing that Qiangqu had not arrived yet, one of them asked in a low voice to the person next to him: "Do you know what happened to Qiangqu call us to come? Could it be that the matter was exposed?"
The man laughed a few times, then replied in a sinister way: "You are such a bull, can't you see how many swords and axe players are ambushing outside the tent?"
"Ah? What should I do? My tribe members are still in the territory, so I brought about a dozen people this time." The man was shocked after hearing this and said in a panic.
"Haha, look at the head of the Rishi family. People are not panicked. Why are you panicking? It would be fine if Qiangqu doesn't turn against each other this time. If he turns against each other, we will take this opportunity to be him and recommend the head of the Rishi family to be the Chanyu of our Southern Xiongnu." The leader of the tribe was obviously a bit smart, and he saw him whispering in the direction of the Rishi family and saying disdainfully.
The man quickly turned his head to look at the Rishi, and saw that the leader of the Rishi was chatting and laughing without any tension. He then felt relieved and smiled in agreement: "That's right, the Rishi clan is the tribe of our Southern Xiongnu, second only to the Luanti clan."
"I'm here for a while. Are you anxious?" At this time, Qiangqu walked in from outside the tent, swept around everyone and smiled, and Huchuquan followed closely behind him.
"The Shanyu fights each other, we have to wait for more or less!" The head of the Rishi clan immediately stood up and said to Qiangqu with neither yin nor yang.
"Haha, the King of Japan has summoned you all for one thing," Qiang Qu was not angry. After he came to the throne and sat down, he said lightly to the head of the Rich Clan: "Recently, my Southern Xiongnu rumors have spread everywhere. People all say that you want to take my Luanti Clan and replace me. I wonder if this is the case?"
As the Qiangqu finished speaking, the tent suddenly became extremely quiet. The heads of the tribes pressed the handle of the knife and looked around nervously.
The head of the Rishi clan was a strong man, who was over thirty years old. After he sat down with a big golden sword, he laughed at Qiangqu and said, "You Qiangqu are willing to become a lackey of the Han court. The other tribesmen of the Southern Xiongnu are unwilling. If you know the truth, you will abdicate the position of Shanyu to me. Otherwise, you will inevitably have to use your weapons today."
Hu Chuquan was furious when he heard this, and pulled out his waist and shouted at the head of the Rich clan: "Bold, my Luanti clan is a royal family of the Southern Xiongnu. You are not a vassal family, so you dare to talk about the throne."
The Southern Xiongnu joined the Han court for decades. Over time, they were also infected with the habits of the Han people. They inevitably had the phenomenon of biting the word "Wenjue" when they spoke. However, the words of the literati seemed a bit inappropriate when they spoke from the mouths of these strong men on the grassland.
As soon as Hu Chuquan finished speaking, dozens of Luanti warriors rushed into the tent, as if they were fuse. The other tribe leaders drew their swords and surrounded them. The heads of the Rishi were among the group.
The head of the Rishi clan saw Huchuquan pulling his sword and dozens of Luanti warriors around him, but he was not panicked. He stood up and said in a deep voice to Qiangqu: "Qiangqu, you are a lackey in the Han court, you offer sacrifices every year and recruit soldiers every year. How many great men in the Southern Xiongnu died in the Han court. Now the Han Dynasty is weak and the soldiers are in chaos. You are still so stubborn. Do you really want to ruin the future of the Southern Xiongnu? Others obey you, but I am not convinced. Today, I will kill you, a person who is greedy and afraid of death, and then lead me, the Southern Xiongnu to glory."
"kill!"
The head of the Rishi family suddenly pulled out his waist and slashed at the nearest Luanti warrior.
"Kill!" "Kill you!" "Kill!"
When the other tribes saw that the heads of the Rishi family had taken a knife, they fought with the Luanti warriors around them.
How could a leader of a tribe have no effort? In an instant, more than ten people were killed or injured in the king's tent. The soldiers of Luanti outside the tent saw that they had already started fighting in the tent and were about to go in to support, but were stopped by the guards of the tribes. Several of the people fired several arrows into the sky. After a moment, killing sounds suddenly erupted in Linhe City, and it was extremely chaotic for a moment.
"Haha, Qiangqu, today is your doomsday. The tribes of my tribes have already ambushed in the city, just waiting for today."
After the leader of the Argent clan cut over a member of the Luanti clan, he suddenly heard the shouts of killing from outside the tent, and then laughed at Qiangqu.
"Ri, do you really want blood to flow into a river?"
Qiang Qu also heard the shouts of killing outside the tent at this time, his expression suddenly changed, and then he shouted sternly to the Rei clan.
"After today, I will be the king of the Southern Xiongnu, kill me!"
The eyes of Rishi showed an excited light, and he relied on his tall man and big horses to kill directly towards Qiangqu.
"Father, the child guards the father and fight out!"
Hu Chuquan was covered in blood. Seeing that there were only a few people in the king's tent, there were more than ten people on the side of the tent. He hurried to Qiangqu and said anxiously.
"Just want to go out now? It's too late!"
At this time, the Rishi had already reached Hu Chuquan. He naturally heard his words. He said mockingly, and then chopped towards Hu Chuquan.
"Puff!" "Ah!"
Hu Chuquan could not dodge and was cut off by the right arm with a knife, which made him almost unconscious.
Seeing this, Qiang Qu's eyes were red and he held the sword and went to the Rishi. After he held the sword of the Rishi, he quickly whispered to the tribesmen around him: "You guys hurry up and guard my son and fight out!"
After hearing this, the other tribe members immediately divided the two of them to hold Huchuquan, and the others surrounded Huchuquan and rushed out desperately.
"Haha...haha...Qiangqu, you are old, it's time for me to sit in the position of Shanyu!"
The face of Rishi showed a bloodthirsty and crazy expression, and he suddenly pulled back his sword and quickly chopped towards Qiangqu.
‘Puff!’
After all, Qiang Qu is old, so how could he be a rival to the Rei clan? As the sword fell, Qiang Qu's body and head were different, and a generation of Shanyu disappeared like this.
"Father!"
Huchuquan, who had just arrived at the door of the king's tent, saw that Qiang Qu was killed by the Rishi's sword, and immediately roared in grief and anger. He was about to turn around and fight against the Rishi's death, but was pulled by the tribe members beside him.
"Prince, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Those who were transferred by Qiangqu to do such things are naturally loyal. These people were standing on Huchuquan and ran out.
"Haha..." The Rishi laughed wildly at Qiangqu's corpse, and then said to the surviving tribe leader around him: "My tribe coalition can plunder in Linhe City for three days. Everything you robbed is yours. In three days, we will discuss matters in this tent!"
"Thank you, oh no, thank you, thank you, the Chanyu of the Rei!"
"Thank you Shanyu!"
"Haha, I've gone to steal the woman!"
After hearing this, these tribe leaders smiled happily, and some of them couldn't wait to go out of the tent.
By the way, the Rishi family is quite smart. They installed thousands of Rishi clans in Linhe City in advance, and with the staff of the other tribes, there were more than 20,000 tribal coalition troops in Linhe City. At this time, unexpectedly, the Luanti family was killed and injured. No one would have thought that their friends who were still chatting and laughing just now would draw their swords at the moment. In the end, only hundreds of people guarded the excessive sadness. Huchuquan, who had fallen into a coma, escaped from Linhe City.
