This character, which has been described in the history books, gives people a feeling that the time span is very long, because the Qin Dynasty has him, to the Han Dynasty, and his story, today I will introduce this historical figure like the tyrant.
First of all, let's popularize how to pronounce his name, mò dú chán yú.
1. MingDiss father
Mo Dun was originally the crown prince of his father Man Dan Yu, and later Tou Man Shan Yu gave birth to a young son of the beloved Fu Clan, and Tou Man Shan Yu wanted to kill Mo Dun and set up his younger son as the prince, so he sent Mo Dun to the Yue clan as a hostage. As soon as Mo Dun arrived at Yueshi, Touman immediately attacked Yueshi, who wanted to kill Mo dun, and Mo dun stole Yueshi's good horse and rode it back to the Xiongnu. Considering him brave, Man Shan ordered him to be commander-in-chief and pave the way for his youngest son.
Mouton made a kind of arrows, trained his men in archery on horseback, and ordered: "Whoever shoots my arrows will be beheaded if anyone who does not follow me to shoot it with all his might." "First of all, Mao Dun shoots the bird hunting beasts, and if someone does not shoot the target of the arrow, Mo Dun will kill them. Soon, Mouton shot his horse with a shot of arrows, and if anyone on the left and right did not dare to shoot, Mouton immediately killed them. After some days, Mauton shot his beloved wife with a shot of arrows, and the people on the left and right were afraid and did not dare to shoot, and Mautun killed them again. After some more days, Mao Dun went out hunting and shot at the single horse with a loud arrow, and the people on the left and right followed suit. So Maunton knew that the people around him were all people who could be used. Then, he followed his father Tou Man Shan Yu to go hunting, shooting the head Man Shan Yu with a loud arrow, and the people around him also followed and shot the arrow at The Head Man Shan Yu, and The Head Man was killed on the spot.
Later, Mouton killed his stepmother and brother, as well as all the ministers who disobeyed him. He established himself as Shan Yu in 209 BC.
2. Lie down and taste the guts and establish hegemony
When Mo Dun became Shan Yu, dong hu was strong and prosperous, and when he heard that mo dun had killed his father and stood on his own, he decided to salute him first and then fight the soldiers, and asked him for the Qianli Ma Qunchen to say that he could not give it, and he gave it. Not long after, Dong Hu sent emissaries to ask for his Fu clan, but the Qunchen objected, and Mao Dundan gave his favorite Fu clan to Dong Hu. The King of Donghu became more and more proud and invaded the west.
There was a vacant lot between Donghu and the Xiongnu, uninhabited, and both sides built outposts on either side of the vacant land. Dong Hu then sent emissaries to want this vacant lot, and some ministers also echoed them. Mo Dun killed those who said they were giving the Donghu clearing. He immediately mounted his horse and ordered that if there were any retreaters in the country, he would kill the head, so he led his army to the east to attack Donghu. Donghu was caught off guard, the King of Donghu was wiped out, and the Xiongnu captives plundered the people and livestock property of Donghu.
Mao Dun also took advantage of the victory to send troops, expelled the Yue clan to the west, annexed the Lou Fu and other tribes to the south, and also recovered the Xiongnu territory seized by the Qin state Mengtian, occupied parts of the northern part of the Qin Dynasty, and established a powerful Xiongnu Empire after a series of major conquests. The territory of the Xiongnu Empire was very vast, reaching the liao river valley in the east, the onion ridge (now the Pamir Plateau) in the west, the Great Wall of Qin in the south, and the Baikal lake in the north. It was also the most powerful period in the history of the Hun Empire. During this period, the Xiongnu power reached its peak, claiming that there were always 300,000 people who controlled the strings.
3. Humiliate the man twice
The first time was the "Siege of Bai Deng" recorded in the history books.
In 200 BC, Liu Bang personally led an army to meet the Xiongnu, so Mao Dun pretended to fail and fled, luring the Han army. Liu Bang abandoned his army and led some light horses to pursue the Xiongnu to the north. When Liu Bang arrived at Pingcheng, the Han Dynasty's large army had not yet arrived, and Mao Dun commanded his 400,000 elite cavalry to surround Liu Bang at Baideng Mountain. For seven days and seven nights, the two sides injured each other and the stalemate could not be stopped.
Later, chen ping suggested that Liu Bang send emissaries to give many gifts to the Fu clan of Mo Dun Shan Yu to deal with. As a result, the Siege of Baideng was lifted.
The second time was "After the Insult of the Book"
In 195 BC, Liu Bang died, and Mao Dun wrote to Lü Hou, saying: "I am a lonely and lonely monarch, born in a swamp and raised in the grasslands, I have come to the border many times, hoping to visit the Central Plains. His Majesty is independent as a monarch, but also lonely and lonely, living alone, our two widowed monarchs are very unhappy, unable to entertain ourselves, it is better for us to exchange what we have and what we have. After reading the letter, Lü Hou felt that he had been greatly provoked and insulted, and prepared to kill the Xiongnu emissaries and send troops to recruit the Xiongnu. At this time, the subordinate Jibu dissuaded him, saying that the Huns were like beasts and did not deserve to be angry at their words.
4. The curtain comes down
After decades of development, the Han Dynasty became more and more powerful, and it also had a slight advantage in the war against the Xiongnu.
In 174 BC, the Han Dynasty concluded a treaty with the Xiongnu, and peace was restored between the two sides. This is also the last big thing that Mo Dundan did in his lifetime.
Soon after, Mo Dun Shan Yu died, and his son Ji Congee became the king, known as Lao Shang Shan Yu.
