There is such a kind of person, they can ignore almost anything for the throne, even if they have his father, they can kill it at will, and It is this kind of person who is also on the throne in this way.
If you just talk about his path to the top, it is indeed very unblinking, but if you talk about his achievements, it is much more powerful than his father.
During his father's reign, he could only be bullied by Dong Hu, and after he ascended to the throne, he not only eliminated Dong Hu, but even most of the grassland area was included in his territory and became the strongest force in the grassland at that time, and later even Liu Bang was threatened by him.
It is said that in order to ascend to the throne, he also invented a new weapon, what kind of weapon is this?

Mao Dun was originally the prince of the Xiongnu, and it can be said that he will sit firmly in the future. However, his father, ManDan, was stupid in his old age, and even wanted to change him, and even wanted to kill him.
It turned out that Touman Shan Yu fell in love with a concubine, and this concubine just gave birth to a son. In ancient times, as long as a son was born, there was no worry about status, and the concubine was such an example.
After she got the favor of Tou Man Shan Yu, she seduced him every day, and finally succeeded in washing the king's brain, and even wanted to abolish the original prince and leave her career to the son of the concubine.
Although Tou Mandan was fascinated by the concubine and wanted to change the prince, he still had some judgment. He knew very well that the prince had never made a mistake, and he had never made a major mistake that could be abolished, and if he changed the prince inexplicably, it would definitely lead to great turmoil.
At that time, the prince already had a certain amount of power, and coupled with the old thinking of those courtiers in the dprk, if he made a wrong decision, the country could be shaken by this decision.
After much thought, Tou Man Shan Yu decided to use a roundabout way to depose the prince, so that his beloved young son could smoothly become the next Shan Yu.
During the reign of Touman Danyu, although the military strength of the Xiongnu had increased a lot, it was still unable to compare with the Yue clan, in addition to the Yue clan, Donghu was also feared by Touman Shan Yu.
If it were normal, he might not even mention these two forces, but when he arose the idea of changing the prince, he thought of these two old enemies. He deliberately promised the other side some very favorable conditions, to ally with the Yue clan, and then to protect against the ancients, and exchange princes between the two countries.
Now that he was an ally and had the opportunity to go to the Moon Clan Kingdom to learn their management style and political strategy, Mo Dun did not suspect anything and went directly to the Moon Clan Kingdom.
However, after he arrived at the Yue Clan Kingdom, Tou Man Shan Yu disregarded his life and directly asked people to lead troops to attack the Yue Clan Kingdom. For The betrayal of Tou Man Shan Yu, the King of the Yue Clan was naturally very angry, plus he was not a gentle emperor himself, and naturally he would not let go of the prince of the enemy country.
And this kind of result is exactly what Tou Man Shan Yu wants, as long as the King of the Moon Clan kills the prince, even if he immediately gives the throne to his younger son, the country will not be chaotic because of this.

However, Tou Man Shan Yu underestimated the prince's ability, and Mao Dun was very shocked when he learned of his father's approach, but he quickly thought of a countermeasure.
He had just learned that fashion was very obedient, in order to paralyze the King of the Moon Clan, and after waiting for the night, he took advantage of the night to directly steal the other party's Maxima and fled back to his country in one breath.
When Touman saw that Mouton had successfully returned home without reinforcements, he was surprised that he could not do it. However, when he saw his son's strength, he dismissed the idea of changing the prince. In order to make up for the prince, Touman also handed over 10,000 elite soldiers to the prince and let the prince manage it.
When Touman Shan Yu handed over this army to the prince, he probably never imagined that he would die at the hands of this army in the future.
Although Moton had received compensation from his father, he still remembered his father's behavior regardless of his life and death.
However, Mo Dun's thinking was also as meticulous as his father's, knowing that he could not kill the king of a country casually. Therefore, every day he still shows that he admires and respects his father, but he secretly finds a way to kill his father and avenge himself.

After a while, he really thought of a way. He created a weapon that had not been available before, the Flaming Arrow.
After he had made this weapon, he issued a military order to the soldiers under his command: Wherever I aim an arrow, everyone must aim at it and shoot with all their might. If someone fails to do it, they are beheaded.
After he issued this military order, he first used the weapons he had made on the beasts. A few days later, while leading a man on a hunt, he shot an arrow at a beast.
The soldiers didn't know at first whether to listen to the prince, so some didn't. As a result, all the disobedient soldiers were killed.
The second time, he used the arrow on his horse. The Huns' affection for war horses was very deep, and they were also horses, so many soldiers did not dare to shoot, and as a result, those soldiers who did not obey the order were also executed.
The third time, he targeted his wife, and this time, more people died.
After the first three exercises, the soldiers had thoroughly understood how ferocious the prince was. Now that the army had been subdued, the plan to assassinate Head ManDan was much easier. He first targeted his father's horse, and instantly shot the horse into a sieve.
Finally, when he went out hunting with his father, he aimed the arrow at his father. In this way, he used the army given by his father to successfully kill his father.
After his father's death, he quickly took control of the government with an army, killing the disobedient concubines and his brother, and successfully became Shan Yu.

Later, Dong Hu wanted to send troops against the Xiongnu, but suffered from not understanding The strength of Mao Dun. In order to find out the strength of the other side, Dong Hushou took the lead in demanding a good horse from the Xiongnu, but also wanted Ton's wife.
Even for the sake of dignity, these two things cannot be given to Dong Hu, but Mo Dun gave them very happily, making Dong Hu feel that Mo Dun is a good bully. In fact, This is just pretending to be weak, in order to confuse Dong Hu.
Sure enough, Dong Hu, who thought that he had discovered the strength of the Xiongnu, quickly proposed to ask the Xiongnu for thousands of miles of territory. Mao Dun seized the opportunity and took advantage of Dong Hu's lack of preparation to directly accept Dong Hu.

After receiving Donghu, Mao Dun led the army to continue the expedition, and most of the steppe tribes were included in the territory of his own country. It even became the biggest threat to the Han Dynasty at that time.
