About This Novel
The battle of iron and blood, the collision of nomadism and farming, and the impact from the grassland have caused great changes in the world! From the Great Wall of China to the armies of the Roman Empire, nothing could stop this nation from conquering everywhere. The iron cavalry of "God's whip" made the Xiongnu the first oriental nation to leap onto the Western political stage and make white people tremble with fear! The nomadic people who moved around established many kingdoms in world history, and the Xiongnu can be said to be the "ancestor of the kingdoms." The Xiongnu's spirit of going south to herd horses allowed King Wuling of Zhao in the Warring States Period to initiate the "Hufu riding and shooting" reform, which transformed the Chinese army from infantry to the cavalry stage; the Xiongnu achieved the ambitious hegemony established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and made Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Huo Qu Bing, Su Wu and other generals' unparalleled achievements; it was also the Xiongnu who prompted Zhang Qian to open the Silk Road, Wang Zhaojun to marry a foreign country, and Ban Chao to join the army to conquer the Far Western Region; it was also the Xiongnu who set off the prelude to the great national integration after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns split. The Southern Huns who gradually integrated into China destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty during the Yongjia Rebellion and began the era of the barbarian states; while the Northern Huns traveled to Central Asia after Dou Xian's "Yanran Leshi". Later, under the leadership of Attila, they drove away the Germans and created the prototype of today's Western Europe. To this day, they still have a mysterious and intriguing relationship with the Central European country Hungary.
