"It has been confirmed that the so-called Prince Lin Hu Mao is Maodun, the son of the Xiongnu Khan Touman."

Sitting in the mansion, Gan Luo looked at the report in his hand and was a little surprised for a moment. Although he had guessed in his heart that his identity was definitely not simple, he really never thought that the other party would be Touman's son or even the eldest son, so the proton was really interesting. Touman sent his eldest son to Xianyang, what did he want to do? Gan Luo couldn't help but start thinking about this question.

Assassinating Marquis of Wu Cheng?

This makes sense. Marquis Wu Cheng is old and cannot go out to fight now. What is the meaning of sending people to assassinate him? What is the benefit? Even if he kidnapped him to the Huns, it is more reliable than assassinating him. Moreover, when Maodun came to Xianyang, he did not intend to approach Marquis Wu Cheng, but Marquis Wu Cheng himself decided to keep this person by his side. His purpose should not be Marquis Wu Cheng.

So, is it to get involved in the senior management of Qin and become a senior spy?

This is somewhat convincing. After all, judging from the reports of the spies, this Touman Chanyu is an absolute cultural person. He can even speak many allusions and speak Zhao Yu with a fluent Handan accent. His internal and diplomatic methods are very good. Sending spies to other tribe leaders is a bit inconsistent, but Touman Chanyu may really have such ideas.

Or was he sending his son to Qin to study? It would make it easier for him to take over the Huns in the future? Ganluo felt that this was a bit unreliable. Since he came to Qin and wanted to go back, it would not be easy, let alone what could he learn at that age of Maodun? Ganluo thought about it again and again, but could not guess Touman's thoughts. He simply stopped thinking about it and told his retainers to put it in the study room if the letters came, but he left home.

Soon, Gan Luo came to Zhao Kuo's mansion.

The passage of time crushed the general who had no defeat in the battles. Zhao Kuo sat under the big tree as usual, holding his pen and writing. He wrote very seriously. The wind blew gently, and several strands of white hair drifted in the wind. Zhao Gao knelt beside him, while Mao was standing behind Zhao Kuo, gently beating Zhao Kuo's shoulders. Gan Luo looked at Mao deeply and immediately came to pay homage to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo stopped his pen, raised his head, looked at Gan Luo in front of him, and soon recognized him.

Now is the thirteenth year of Emperor First Emperor. Because it is unified ahead of the original historical line, in the thirteenth year, Emperor First Emperor is still in his prime and has no intention of becoming old. His heart is full of burning ambitions. General Zhao Kang is about to usher in his peak and embark on the road to the almighty god of war. Prince Fusu grew up and is preparing to get married and have children. Zhao Xiu has just completed his elementary school studies and is preparing to go to middle school with Maodun to continue his studies.

Only Zhao Kuo, who is nearly 60 years old, is already very old in this era. Not everyone can witness several eras like Pang Gong and Xunzi, especially as the military general who fought at the forefront. The old Lianpo we know actually lived to be about seventy years old. Some people say that he was still fighting in his eighties was just a lie fabricated by marketing accounts.

As a general, Pang Gong was able to survive to that age, probably because he was late for great success. Pang Gong started fighting after he was old. At that time, he could no longer charge forward. However, Lian Po was not late for great success. He fought all the way from his youth to his later years. However, such generals were still a minority. Zhao Kuo had rushed many times when he was young, and since the beginning of attacking Yan State, he was basically at the forefront in every battle, and was injured all over his body.

Even his disciple Zhao Fu became a surgical expert during the Warring States Period because he wanted to help him treat his injuries. He even wrote a book about battlefield bandage. When Di was alive, he often laughed at Zhao Fu and called him the doctor Zhao. This shows how frequent and serious the injuries Zhao Kuo suffered in the past were. When he attacked Yan State, Qin State, and later when he attacked various countries, Zhao Kuo came out of the sea of ​​blood again and again, and every battle brought his body an irreversible serious illness.

These pains and diseases hid when Zhao Kuo was the strongest, trembling and did not dare to come out. When Zhao Kuo was old and weak, all these "little people" rushed out and began to torture Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo's body had never been so heavy. Zhao Kuo knew the most about this change, as if he was wearing another pair of heavy armor that could not be removed, and his whole body was so heavy that he could not walk.

However, there were various diseases in the body. As long as Zhao Kuo moved his left arm, it would be a heart-wrenching pain. He remembered that he had been penetrated by arrows many times, and Zhao Kuo could not bend down because his back was particularly stiff. Every time he wanted to move, there was always severe pain behind him. It seemed that there was no perfect place on his body, and even his mind would be affected.

Zhao Kuo's memory is no longer as good as before. Sometimes, he was frightened to find that he could no longer remember the faces and names of many people, which made Zhao Kuo very guilty and very guilty.

Once, Zhao Kuo was sitting in the courtyard in a daze. He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Zhao Gao beside him what the name of the young man who died in the battle with him in Yan State? Zhao Gao was confused. How could he know? Zhao Kuo was like a soulless person, asking around, but no one around him knew about this, including Li Si and Han Fei, could not answer. Zhao Kuo had tears in his eyes, lowered his head, and said nothing.

At this critical moment, the emperor came forward and wrote a letter to Dong Chengzi in Handan. He learned from him that the name of Handan was made. When the emperor told Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo looked so guilty. He shook his head and asked over and over again: "How can I forget him? How can I forget him?"

Compared to the past, Zhao Kuo has been idle for more time, but he has not been idle either. In the past few years, Zhao Kuo has written many things, including many arguments, academic articles, advice to the king, demands for the people of the world, and profound content like nation-state... Zhao Kuo forgot a lot, but he seems to have not forgotten his mission and his deep love for this land.

When he started writing these articles, he became like the Ma Fujun in the past. As soon as his "On the Ethnic" was released, it detonated Xianyang. Zhao Kuo proposed the term "nationality" for the first time and determined the concept of the Chinese nation. He used various dialectical methods to prove the commonality of the nations on the Chinese land, and proposed the concept of the Great Chinese nationalism that mainly focuses on cultural identity. According to Zhao Kuo's concept, any one who accepts Chinese culture and recognizes himself as the Chinese nation is the Chinese nation.

Zhao Kuo proved this through history. He sorted out the origin theory that began in ancient times and successfully tied the origins of the people of various countries together, and deliberately increased the sense of national pride and national identity. When the emperor saw this argument, he almost jumped up in surprise. Zhao Kuo's national theory finally gradually improved the theory of the seven-nation integration, which is something that Han Fei could not have done before.

Another point is the problem that Zhao Kang had struggled with at the beginning, why did he attack the Yue people? This is still a war of unification. Well, it is not a war of unity for the country, but a war of unity for the nation. According to the origin of the "Mafu Book", the Yue people here are also members of the Chinese nation... Zhao Kuo of course wanted to avoid future civil war by cultivating nationalism earlier.

Zhao Kuo's nationalism is not a narrow sense. Based on the idea that "the seven countries are integrated, and the others are also included", he directly counted outside the Great Wall, the Western Regions, the South Vietnam, and even the Liaodong... Chinese civilization has a strong inclusiveness, and Zhao Kuo just wanted to develop this inclusiveness earlier. The saying "If the barbarians enter China, then the Chinese will enter the barbarians, then the barbarians" was reinterpreted by Zhao Kuo.

In addition, Zhao Kuo also completed the historical materialism he wanted to complete, giving the historians of this era a new path to study history. The most exaggerated one is Zhao Kuo's "The Future", and Zhao Kuo's "The Future", which is completely different from his style. Many of them are prophecies and prospects for the future. Zhao Kuo wrote all the things that are impossible to achieve today.

It includes water vapor, internal combustion engines, electric lamps, and some new social models and utopias. Whether in China or abroad, there are still many philosophers with future utopian ideas. What they say looks very ridiculous in the contemporary era, but often after thousands of years, people will feel inexplicably touched. Zhao Kuo still has a lot of things to think about, and he also wants to write a lot of things.

Fortunately, he can still write now.

Looking at Gan Luo who was suddenly visiting, Zhao Kuo smiled and put down the paper and pen, letting him sit beside him. Gan Luo lowered his head and knelt aside. He respected Zhao Kuo very much. Although he was not restrained in front of Zhao Kuo, this does not mean that he did not respect the old man in front of him. The old man in front of him is the most benevolent and righteous sage in the contemporary world who unified the world and had unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. Almost no one disrespects him, even those who destroyed the country by him.

"Why are you suddenly coming to me? Are you going to go to Yuezhi?" Zhao Kuo asked curiously. Gan Luo wanted to say something. He looked around and said, "Your Majesty ordered that no one can know about this matter except you..." Hearing his words, Zhao Gao understood what he meant first. Zhao Gao was not angry, and pulled Maodun and left here.

Zhao Kuo did not dissuade them. When they left, Ganluo bowed again and said seriously: "I came this time because there is a very important thing to tell you!" Ganluo lowered his voice and said with a serious expression: "The Mao who is in your mansion is the eldest son of the Xiongnu Khan Touman, Maodun!"

......

Gan Luo quickly left Zhao Kuo's mansion, and no one knew what they were talking about. When Zhao Gao came in again, he found that Zhao Kuo's face was a little wrong, his face was a little pale and his eyes were dull. Zhao Gao hurriedly asked, "Is there any bad news?" Zhao Kuo came to his senses. He shook his head, then looked behind Zhao Gao, and asked, "Where is the one who is mad?"

"He went to find a repair."

"Oh..." Zhao Kuo suddenly sighed. The information brought by Gan Luo really scared him. He saw that Mao was a little wrong. Maybe it was not Lin Hu's prince. Maybe Lin Hu just found a child to pretend, but he really didn't expect that the child was actually the eldest son of the Xiongnu Shanyu Touman, and the name Maodun seemed to become familiar in an instant.

The Xiongnu master who Zhao Kuo was worried about a few days ago was actually by his side, accompanying him every day... he called him the eldest father. Zhao Kuo was a little stunned. He began to recall the knowledge of the hero in his previous life, but he didn't remember it very clearly. He only remembered that he defeated Liu Bang in the future.

On the original historical line, after Maodun grew up, Touman wanted to make his youngest son king and wanted to kill Maodun. However, when Maodun grew up, he was deeply loved by tribes because of his courage. Touman was not willing to kill him, so he sent Maodun to Yuezhi as a hostage. As soon as Maodun arrived in Yuezhi, Touman directly led his army to attack Yuezhi. Yuezhi was furious and wanted to kill Maodun. Maodun robbed a horse and fled back to the Huns. Touman's plan to kill people with a knife was failed.

Maodun returned to the Huns and led 10,000 cavalry. He created a kind of arrow, trained his subordinates to ride horses and shoot arrows, and ordered: "Whoever shoots the targets my arrows do not follow me to shoot them with all their strength, they will beheaded." First, shooting birds and beasts, and someone did not shoot the targets he shot by the arrows, Maodun killed them. Soon, Maodun shot his beloved horse with a sound arrow. Some people on the left and right dared not shoot, Maodun killed them immediately.

After a few days, Maodun shot his beloved wife with a loud arrow. The people on both sides were afraid and dared not shoot, and Maodun killed them again. After a few days, Maodun went out to hunt and shot Shanyu's horse with a loud arrow. The people on both sides immediately followed him. So Maodun knew that the people on both sides were all available, and then he followed his father Touman Chanyu to hunt, and shot Touman Chanyu's head with a loud arrow. The people on both sides also shot arrows at Touman Chanyu, and Touman died on the spot.

Later, Maodun killed all his stepmother, younger brother and ministers who disobeyed him, and proclaimed himself the Chanyu.

After Maodun became the Shanyu, Donghu was powerful and prosperous. He heard that Maodun killed his father and decided to be self-reliant, so he sent an envoy to Maodun, wanting to get the Thundermann horse. Maodun asked the ministers, and the ministers said, "The Thundermann horse is the BMW of the Huns, don't give it." Maodun said, "How can he be stingy with a neighboring country?" So he gave the Thundermann horse to Donghu. After a while, Donghu thought Maodun was afraid of him, so he sent an envoy to Maodun and wanted a Shanyu's clan.

Maodun asked the ministers on both sides again, and the ministers on both sides were angry and said, "There is no reason for the Donghu. He actually wanted the Yan clan and asked to attack him." Maodun said, "How can he be stingy with others to rule the country?" So he gave the Donghu family his favorite to Donghu. The Donghu King became more and more proud and went westward to invade. There was an open space between the Donghu and the Huns, and no one lived there. There was more than a thousand miles of this place, and both sides built outposts on both sides of the open space.

The Donghu sent an envoy to Maodun, "You Huns cannot go to the open space outside the border of the post of the Huns and us, we want to possess it." Maodun solicited the opinions of the ministers, and some of the ministers said, "This is a discarded open space, you can give it to them, and you can not give it to them." So Maodun was furious and said, "Land is the foundation of the country, how can you give it to them!" So Maodun killed those who said they were to give it to Donghu open space. He immediately got on the horse and ordered anyone who retreated in the country to be beheaded, so he led his army to attack Donghu east.

The Donghu initially despised the Huns, so he was not prepared for it. When Maodun led his troops, the Donghu was defeated as soon as the war began. The Donghu King was also destroyed. The Huns captured the Donghu people and livestock property.

Then he began to conquer all the disobedient tribes around him and successfully unified the grasslands in the north. At this time, Liu Bang had completed the unification of the Central Plains. As Han Wangxin defected and defected to the Xiongnu, Maodun came to attack the Central Plains. The two sides fought, Maodun deliberately defeated, attracted Liu Bang to pursue him, and finally besieged him in Baideng. The most frightening thing was that at this time, Maodun was only in his early thirties...

Later, Liu Bang sent Fan Kuai to stop the invasion of this man. It was not until the peace talks that Maodun did not continue to rob. After Liu Bang died, Maodun wrote another letter to Empress Lu, who was very rude and nakedly teased Empress Lu, who was at least 20 years older than him... Empress Lu was furious and wanted to kill the envoy, but did not do that because of the minister's advice.

When Emperor Wen took office, Maodun was old. Emperor Wen decided to resolve the domestic crisis first, accumulate strength and then deal with foreign enemies. So Emperor Wen proposed a marriage kinship, Maodun accepted it happily, and the two sides agreed to stop the army, and the peace continued until Maodun passed away.

He is cruel, cold, warlike, brave, and a little bit ravenous. He is indeed an absolute grassland hero.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Gao beside him and remembered Maodun who was playing at Zhao Kang's house. He sighed again.
