Features: The Horse Treads East Hu primarily depicts how the prince of Xiongnu, Modun, murdered his father and took his wife, declaring himself the great Khan of Xiongnu, while consolidating his power internally and training elite troops externally. However, the Eastern Hu, a grassland tribe even more powerful than the Xiongnu, was incited by Xiongnu traitors to raid the Xiongnu three times. Enduring humiliation, Modun Khan first gifted the Eastern Hu with his prized horse, then offered his beloved daughter to the Eastern Hu King, all while secretly building his strength. Finally, on a night of snow and wind, he launched a surprise attack, covering thousands of miles in three days and nights, annihilating the Eastern Hu in one battle and gradually establishing a new grassland empire.
