When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 676 Maodun was willing to respect the King of Qin as his father, and called himself Er Chanyu!

"Now, tell me what you are doing here?"

After criticizing Maodun, Zhang Ji finally got the topic back on track.

Although he really wanted to get rid of Maodun as soon as possible, this wolf cub Maodun's act of defecting to the Qin army knowing that he was the prince of the Xiongnu was too shocking and would certainly be difficult to gain his trust, so he must have brought benefits that Zhang Ji could not refuse.

"Modun is the prince of the Xiongnu. Now my father, the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman, is old and insane. Not only does he dote on his young son and want to kill Maodun, he also joins forces with the King of Donghu and the King of Yuezhi to rebel and invade Daqin, causing the two countries to become enemies..."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. I know your background. You are the only son of Touman's predecessor, Yanshi, and the original eldest son. However, your stepmother and younger brother are eyeing your position as the crown prince. Even your biological father is afraid of your courage and talent and wants to get rid of you as soon as possible."

Zhang Ji waved his hand, and a figure walked out from behind him like a ghost. Combined with the fair face, even the officers were startled.

"Modun, the prince of the Xiongnu, was ordered by Touman to send the Yuezhi as hostages in order to make peace. Touman plotted to get rid of him with the Yuezhi, stole horses and fled back to the Xiongnu, with more than 10,000 old, weak and disabled soldiers and 3,000 elite cavalry under his command. They used Mingdi as their command and were called Mingdi Cavalry."

With Zhao Gao's words, Maodun's true identity was exposed to everyone. Even the 3,000 Mingdi cavalry that Maodun had secretly trained were discovered. This inevitably made Maodun more and more frightened, and he began to regret this trip.

If you are controlled by such a person, are you escaping from the cage, or are you stepping into a bigger cage full of traps?

Just when Maodun was in panic, Zhao Gao had already informed all the generals in the tent of Maodun's background. Everyone also understood the situation Maodun was in, and some ridiculed him, some sneered at him, and some were wary of him.

After all, such things are not uncommon. To put it simply, Maodun, as the crown prince of the Xiongnu, was the only son of Touman's original wife, Yanshi (legal wife), and the legitimate eldest son. Touman initially loved this son who had lost his mother very much, and trained this crown prince with the standards of a future Xiongnu Khan.

But later, the old Yanshi died, and Touman married another Yanshi, causing Maodun to lose his legitimate status as the eldest son. This Yanshi soon gave birth to another child.

No matter which nationality they are from, the people that the elderly love the most are always their two younger generations.

The youngest son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man.

Touman already doted on the new Yanshi, and naturally loved his youngest son even more, and even named him Hu De.

The name "Hud" means courage and strength in the Xiongnu language. Children named "Hud" by their parents are often expected to become warriors with great courage and firm strength. Even the Mongols that emerged in later generations inherited the beautiful expectations for this name, and many Mongolian heroes were given the title "Hud".

It can be seen how much Touman loves this young son and how much he expects from him.

In any aristocratic family, doting on their youngest son would easily lead to trouble, let alone the fact that Touman, the Khan of the Xiongnu, doted on his youngest son?
Moreover, Maodun was so outstanding that even Touman, his father, felt fearful of him.

As Touman got older, he was no longer as brave as he was when he was young. He was worried that Maodun would rebel. He thought that when his youngest son Hude grew up, he would be too old to take power. At that time, the transfer of power could be completed in a peaceful way. Therefore, he was determined to kill this outstanding prince. He even staged a play with the Yuezhi, taking the prince Maodun as a hostage to form an alliance, and then immediately pretended to break the alliance to let the Yuezhi execute Maodun. Unexpectedly, Maodun noticed the trap, stole a few horses, and fled back to the Xiongnu royal court with his entourage. Seeing that the conspiracy failed, Touman could not kill Maodun openly, so he gave him 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people and asked him to defeat the Yulin cavalry led by Zhang Ji.

Touman: I'll give you ten thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people, and you go and kill Zhang Ji!
Maodun: Ah? Me?

It's really ridiculous. According to the ideas of the Central Plains of China, an outstanding prince would arouse the king's fear. But if this prince is the crown prince... then the king would be happy to rush into the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors on the spot, and might even boast while burning incense and praying, saying things like "Your son is not as good as my son, your son is not as good as my son, all your sons are not as good as my son" and other disrespectful words.

But it is different on the grassland where the strong prevail and the weak are the prey of the jungle. Young and strong lions will show their bravery to the tribe by defeating old lions. The rise of a new king is always accompanied by the fall of the old king, even if they are father and son.

The more Zhao Gao spoke, the more frightened Maodun became, and the more he felt that he would deeply regret his decision in the future.

Why did the Qin people know so much about what was happening on their grasslands, and even the internal struggle for royal power among the Xiongnu people, so thoroughly? Could it be that the Qin people really had help from ghosts and gods?

Maodun's panic caught Zhao Gao's eyes, and the smile on his face grew brighter.

Previously, Luowang's efforts to bribe spies and place hidden agents among the major tribes on the grassland were not successful due to the huge differences in appearance, language, culture, and customs.

This made Zhao Gao, the de facto head of Luowang in recent years, angry. In a rage, he directly assembled Luowang killers who were good at disguise, in addition to those personnel stationed in various countries and difficult to mobilize, to cram school on the grassland culture, customs and language, and master the "secrets" that ordinary cavalry commanders on the grassland knew, somewhat underestimating him and Luowang.

If it weren't for the sudden matter, if Zhao Gao had been prepared for a year or two, Luowang would have been able to find out how many hairs Touman lost every day.

Seeing that everyone had a good understanding of the situation within the Xiongnu and Maodun, Zhang Ji slowly spoke: "Tell me in the shortest possible words, Maodun, what do you want? What can you give back to the Qin?"

"Modun wants to replace Touman and become the new Chanyu of the Xiongnu!"

"As long as Qin can help me seize the position of Chanyu, Maodun is willing to serve Qin forever on behalf of the Xiongnu, respect the King of Qin as my father, and call myself the Son Chanyu!"
