Swish!

After a knife was taken, it took no time to blink. The huge head of the Donghu messenger rolled onto the ground. This time, it was completely unexpected that the generals under Maodun's command had.

It is not uncommon for Maodun to kill someone, but what they don’t understand is that if you had the courage to kill this guy for the first time, or it would not be too late for the second time. At least you don’t have to give all your sacred family to the King of Donghu in vain.

Faced with such doubts from his generals, Maodun gave them his own answer and his attitude.

"Hors and women are all external things, but the territory of our Huns cannot be ceded to other alien races even if it is an inch!"

At this moment, the generals under Maodun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They knew that such a Shanyu was the Shanyu they were looking forward to in their hearts. The cowardly Maodun, who had been before, was finally going to become history.

After killing the envoy of Donghu, Maodun directly sent the envoy's follower and ran back to Donghu with a wooden box containing the envoy's head, and told him to show the box to the King of Donghu.

Obviously, Maodun declared war on King Donghu. Killing the envoy of Donghu was equivalent to slapping the King Donghu in the face, so after sending the envoy away, Maodun sent a confidant of his own at almost the same time to rush to the junction of the Huns and Donghu where Xiang Yu stationed.

When King Donghu received the bloody box that Maodun sent him back, when he saw it, his face turned green almost so angry.

In the eyes of the Donghu people, since Maodun became the Shanyu, he had no idea of ​​provoking Donghu at all. Even after Maodun heard about the reputation of the Donghu King, he hurriedly knelt down and gave his most beautiful Yan family to the Donghu King. It has been widely circulated in the Donghu territory.

Against this background, Maodun actually killed the envoy sent by the King of Donghu this time, and then put the head of the envoy in a wooden box and sent it back to the King of Donghu, which was to challenge their Donghu's status and authority in this land.

Many leaders of the Donghu tribe, especially those who suffered a lot in Xiang Yu's hands in the previous year, almost unanimously persuaded the Donghu King. This was really a fancy way to kill him without knowing that the sky was high and the earth was also an opportunity given to the Donghu King by God to expand his territory on this vast land. In their eyes, if the Huns could beat the Huns this time, they would never be able to turn over again, the grasslands in the future would be the exclusive scene of the Donghu family, and the Huns could only be slaves to the Donghu people.

At the instigation of his own people, the King of Donghu was a little bit a little bit too far away. According to the previous situation, the strength of Donghu has indeed been a little bit stronger than that of the Huns since ancient times. Therefore, the King of Donghu did not analyze and prepare seriously, and directly waved his hand and decided to fight the Huns!

But it must be quite simple to make a decision. However, when the Donghu cavalry arrived in the territory of the Huns, they realized that this war did not seem to be the case that they wanted to kill the Huns who were not able to do anything.

Xiang Yu, who was originally regarded as the primary target by the Donghu people in the area between the Xiongnu and the Donghu people, no longer knew where to take his men and horses. What he left for the Donghu people was nothing but a dilapidated camp.

Obviously, Xiang Yu had known the news and ran away.

This made the King of Donghu furious again, thinking to himself, can you run away? This time I will directly enter the territory of the Huns, and see where you all run away?

With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of cavalry from Donghu drove into the territory of the Huns in a mighty manner. However, before they walked far, they discovered that the Huns' cavalry had already prepared their troops and horses not far from the border between the Huns and Donghu, and formed a formation. Judging from the meaning, they had been waiting for the Donghu people to come.

Moreover, before the King of Donghu could react, a vanguard of the Huns suddenly came to the front of the two armies, shouting loudly, the King of Donghu did not abide by the rules set by the ancestors of the Huns and Donghu, and led the army to cross the vacuum between the Huns and Donghu and to the territory of the Huns. The Huns had no choice but to fight back...

When the King of Donghu heard this, he had really thrown the blame for himself. At this time, he finally realized that it was clearly what Maodun had designed long ago. If he killed his messenger, he would have wanted to kill him.

But things have reached this point. Even if we know that the Huns have made very complete preparations, the King of Donghu cannot retreat, because in this realm, all we care about is a lot of blood. If you go back to Donghu, the King of Donghu will probably change his position soon. There are too many leaders of various tribes staring at this position.

If you have the conditions, you must go forward, and if you don’t have the conditions, you must go forward. This is the situation of the Donghu King. Although he faces tens of thousands of Hun cavalry at home, the war between the Donghu and the Huns is still in full swing.

After fighting with the Huns, the King of Donghu was surprised to find that the vanguard of the Huns in this battle was actually led by Xiang Yu, who had previously stationed on the border between the Huns and the Donghu.

The Donghu people all knew that Xiang Yu led the Central Plains people and were the leader of the anti-Qin period before. During the Warring States Period, the nobles of Chu, which were almost the best in national strength. Logically speaking, the Central Plains nobles like Xiang Yu were extremely unwilling to hang out with foreign races like the Huns. Before, Xiang Yu led people into the territory of the Huns and obtained a piece of his own separate place that made the Donghu people a little confused. This time, he actually fought with Donghu as the vanguard of the general commander of the Huns. What is this operation? The Donghu people didn't understand anyway.

But even though they couldn't understand, the Hun cavalry whose combat power was probably the same as them seemed to have changed their teams under Xiang Yu's command.

The Donghu leaders who were already amazing on their territory on their daily basis were already incredible. After they fought against Xiang Yu with their cavalry, Xiang Yu was like children. In less than ten days, Donghu's losses reached three or four times that of the Huns, forcing the King of Donghu to lead his army to retreat to the edge of the territory of the Huns and set up camps to prevent further losses from his side.

The King of Donghu only knew the bravery of the Hun cavalry under Xiang Yu's command, but he didn't know how much price Maodun paid to let Xiang Yu command these Hun cavalry to fight the Donghu.

Maodun had always had the idea of ​​Donghu's battle. Although his ultimate goal was Daqin, he also knew that if he wanted to attack Daqin wholeheartedly without a fire in the backyard, Donghu and Yuezhi were two big troubles that he had to solve first.

However, with his usual style in the Huns, if he rashly sent troops to attack, he would probably attract more dikes. So when Xiang Yu began to have a conflict with the Donghu tribes without fear, Maodun personally went to Xiang Yu and had a secret conversation with Xiang Yu and the other two.

During the meeting between the two, Maodun did not hide his determination to destroy Donghu and Yuezhi, but in the same way, he did not want to lose many troops in these two wars, so he focused on Xiang Yu, who was good at commanding the battles, and the powerful generals under his command.

Of course Maodun knew that when Xiang Yu came to the Huns, he always emphasized to him about cooperation. What is cooperation? That is, you are you and I am me. Although Xiang Yu didn’t have many soldiers, he had already expressed his meaning very clearly, that is, we are equal and use each other. If Maodun doesn’t admit this, he would either kill me or let me go.

At this time, except for Xiang Yu, Maodun could not rely on those who could understand the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, in order to support his ambitions, Maodun also gritted his teeth and invested a lot of money on Xiang Yu.

Maodun's appetite was quite big. For example, this time, in the war with Donghu, his purpose of provoking the war was not just to destroy most of the Donghu's troops. Another important reason was to make Xiang Yu familiar with the Hun cavalry under his command, and then let Xiang Yu see what such cavalry lacked in fighting against the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. After that, naturally, Xiang Yu, who knew about the Qin Dynasty, would make up for these things for the Huns under his command.

But Xiang Yu is not Maodun's bottom line puppet. When Maodun put forward his ideas and requirements to Xiang Yu alone, Xiang Yu naturally could not agree to him happily. Xiang Yu also had his own ideas and requirements in this world.

In response to the requests made by Maodun this time, Xiang Yu's purpose was very clear, that is, in the Huns, his status was equal to Maodun, and he could lead the troops, but if he commanded the troops, the power of life and death of these soldiers was naturally in the hands of Xiang Yu, and doing so mean that he almost became the second Shanyu of the Huns.

At the same time, Xiang Yu, who saw Maodun's ultimate goal, also proposed that once he helped Maodun destroy Donghu and Yuezhi, if Maodun and himself could destroy the Qin Dynasty, he would lead his army back to Chu. Since then, even if his cooperative relationship with Maodun ended, it would be natural to become an enemy from now on, because after all, in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, Maodun is a foreign race, and Xiang Yu is a noble among the people of the Central Plains.

Of course, Maodun knew that once he agreed to Xiang Yu, when he finally entered the Great Wall, Xiang Yu would immediately turn around and become his enemy, and might even become another emperor in the Central Plains, and then lead the people of the Central Plains to defeat him back to the Huns.

What's even more terrifying is that if he gave the Huns' cavalry to Xiang Yu, Maodun believed that if he could not wait three or five times, Xiang Yu would have a very thorough understanding of the weaknesses of the Huns' cavalry, which was also a very unfavorable factor for him.

However, the reason why Maodun became the Khan of the Huns was because he was different from other Huns. Even compared with the first generation of the Huns, his father Touman, Maodun was the one with more meticulous thinking and courage.

Therefore, on the land he allocated to Xiang Yu, the request made by Xiang Yu that he agreed to, and the cooperation between the two began from that time on.

Therefore, this time, the battle between the Xiongnu and Donghu on the border of the two tribes was based on the news that Meng Tian spied that the two sides were engaged in fierce battles, but the process was Xiang Yu and the Xiongnu cavalry killed each other, while the Donghu King could only break his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach and struggled to hold on.

Of course, Ying Gao didn't know the details of this, but what Ying Gao did now was definitely something that Xiang Yu and Mao Dun could not imagine.

On an open space deep in Xianyang Palace, the Zhu family and Zhang Kai had each ridden a war horse.

At the beginning, neither of them used stirrups. The Zhu family was born as a ranger, and Zhang Kai was just able to ride a horse. Their ability on horseback was definitely much worse than that of real cavalry.

Ying Gao first asked the two of them to fight with weapons. When they were so tired that they were almost unable to control the war horses under their crotch, Ying Gao then opened the stirrups and hung them on both sides of the two horses.

After briefly teaching the two of them how to use the stirrup for a while, Ying Gao gave the order, and the two of them stepped on the war horse with the stirrup at the same time.

This time, the two of them had just rushed up, and before they could even fight, they all showed a look of surprise. Obviously, the function of this stirrup can be felt differently as soon as they are used.

This time, it was different from the last time when I was panting and sweating. The two of them fought for dozens of rounds. Although they didn't use all their strength, they still felt the huge difference this time and the last time.

"How is this thing actually fighting?"

Seeing the two of them getting off the horse and returning to him, Ying Gao asked with a smile on his face. In fact, it goes without saying that the expressions on both of them had already told Ying Gao what was going on.

"Your Majesty, if you have this thing, then I, the Qin Dynasty, will have tens of thousands of cavalry in an instant. In addition to the armor and weapons that restrain the Huns, why would you be afraid of a mere Hun?"
