Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 508 Bingzhou Xianbei (thanks to [Mercury's Masked Superman] for the reward)

Ma Teng seemed to realize that he had slipped his tongue, and immediately apologized to Lu Yan non-stop.

"This guy has always been mature and prudent, but he doesn't seem like someone who can accidentally leak his words." Lu Yan looked at Ma Teng, changed his mind, and said secretly: "It seems that he came here on purpose to test Boss Cao's thoughts. "

Sure enough, people who have lived a long time and become princes along the way are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Although Ma Teng was a little vacillating, he was quite popular no matter whether he was in Xiliang or Sanfu.

"Be prepared for barbarians in the north, white cavalry in the east, wait for scholars to be worthy, and save the lives of the people",
What he has done, in general, is still very popular with the people.

Moreover, Ma Teng can be regarded as a relatively loyal prince of the Han Dynasty, and he is also one of the only two forces close to Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty.

Ma Teng is also ambitious, but compared to Ma Chao, he knows how to restrain himself.

Historically, Ma Teng and Han Sui had a quarrel, and the two sides attacked each other for nearly ten years. In the end, Ma Teng fell into a disadvantage and had to seek refuge with Cao Cao.At that time, Ma Teng accepted the imperial edict and became an official in Xuchang.

But now Han Sui and Ma Teng have not yet reached the point of separation, but we still have to be prepared for this matter.

Lu Yan felt that it was obviously safer to leave Ma Teng outside than to leave Ma Chao outside.At least Ma Teng will not rebel against Cao Cao for the sake of territory, and personally send his parents, wife, children and members of the three tribes to Cao Cao's butcher's knife.
As long as Ma Teng does not rebel, one of the many forces in Xiliang will always exist representing Cao Cao, and the people of Xiliang will not be able to form a single bond.When Cao Cao wants to annex Xiliang in the future, the difficulty will naturally drop a lot.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan said to Ma Teng: "General Ma, the series of battles in Bingzhou and the previous East County are thanks to you and General Han's joint efforts to help. I think your rewards will be issued together soon. I hope that your Xiliang army can continue to serve the imperial court in the future."

Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately stood up and said, "Thank you Lu Hushi, thank you Prime Minister Cao!"

Xu Huang stayed in Huguan City, and Huang Zhong brought Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao to Lu Yan's barracks.

When he entered the main tent of the Chinese army, Lu Yan was looking at the military news from the Shadow Guards from Hedong County by himself.

Seeing Huang Zhong, Deng Sheng, and Xia Zhao come in, Lu Yan said with a smile: "The safety around Shangdang County will trouble the two generals in the future!"

Lu Yan's words undoubtedly reassured Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao.

But they also remembered the matter of senior officials being forced to enter Xuchang as officials. In contrast, they immediately understood, "Prime Minister Cao, oh no, it's the lord. It turns out that the lord is targeting only high-ranking officials!"

Thinking of this, Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao were even a little excited in their hearts, "The last general Deng Sheng (Xia Zhao) is willing to be the prime minister, to lay down the ground for the court, and he will die!"

"Very good." Lu Yan still nodded with a smile, and continued: "The two of you have lived in Bingzhou for a long time, and you should be most aware of the dangers of the alien races in the north. I want to know, what do you think of the alien races in the north?"

Seeing that winter is about to enter, the alien races in the north are starting to move around, and they may one day extend their butcher knives to the people of Bingzhou.

After Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao looked at each other, Deng Sheng said with a serious face, "When you return to Luhuqi, the general thinks that compared with the remnants of the Huns, a few Wuhuan and Qiang people, the Xianbei people entrenched in the northern part of Bingzhou should be valued the most. !"

Speaking of Bingzhou Xianbei, Lu Yan couldn't help but have a lot of information related to Bingzhou in his mind.

The Xianbei Department of Bingzhou was commanded by Budugen, and its base camp was located on the fertile grassland between the northern part of Bingzhou and Youzhou.If the Xianbei tribe of Bingzhou is stronger, they can attack Bingzhou in the south, or attack the Xianbei tribe in Youzhou in the east.

Fortunately, the strength of the Xianbei tribe is not strong, so capturing Bingzhou and Youzhou is just a dream of their leaders for generations.

Xianbei once had a very great commander named Tan Shihuai.He is brave and strong, full of strategy, and full of hostility towards big men.During the years when he was in charge of Xianbei, the border county of Dahan was repeatedly plundered by Xianbei people.

Tan Shihuai also referred to the model of the Huns in the past, dividing the various parts of Xianbei into three parts: east, middle and west, each with its own theater of war.

The Eastern Xianbei theater includes: Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Xuantu, and Liaodong four counties;
The battle zone of the central Xianbei includes: Yuyang, Shanggu, two counties;

The western Xianbei theater includes Daijun, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and other counties.

Tan Shihuai set up his royal court on Danhan Mountain in the north of the Great Wall. This location is located at the intersection of the Yanshan Mountains and the remaining veins of the Yinshan Mountains. It is very convenient to send troops to the three major plates of the Hetao area, the Shanxi Plateau, and the North China Plain. .

After Han Lingdi succeeded to the throne, the Xianbei people who had completed internal integration invaded Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Liangzhou every year.Not only the border counties in the northern part of the Great Han Dynasty, but also the Puyu people in the northeast region and the Wusun people in the Tianshan region have all encountered attacks from the Xianbei people.The whole situation is just like the Xiongnu Empire in its heyday when the Han Dynasty was first established.

The Xianbei Empire during the Tanshihuai period gradually became stronger, and even the Eastern Han Dynasty felt tremendous pressure.

At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty thought of using the means of conferring the king and making peace to restrain Tan Shihuai's ambitions, but Tan Shihuai rejected them all.After that, the tough military actions taken by the Eastern Han Dynasty against Xianbei also suffered repeated failures.The Hetao counties west of Yanmen have been completely reduced to the land of Xianbei, and even the northern area of ​​Yanmen County with Pingcheng as the center has also become the territory of Xianbei.

However, Xianbei, which was still thriving, ushered in a huge setback, so that its development stopped abruptly, and then declined rapidly.

Because in 181 AD, Tan Shihuai died!

As soon as Tan Shihuai died, Xianbei immediately fell into a serious state of division.The position of Xianbei Shanyu changed hands several times, and finally passed to his grandson Budugen.

Compared with the later generations of the Mongolian Empire, which also came from the Donghu lineage, the family of the descendants of Tan Shihuai can be called the "Xianbei Golden Family".It is a pity that the descendants of Tanshihuai are not as strong as the descendants of Genghis Khan.

The "Xianbei Golden Family" represented by Budugen controlled only the area from Danhan Mountain to Pingcheng.Ke Bineng, the leader of the central Xianbei, and the eastern Xianbei represented by Su Li, were not willing to accept his restraint.

In addition, the western Xianbei in Hetao, Hexi and other areas also went their own way, and this part of Xianbei included Tuoba Xianbei who would later rule the Central Plains.

Bu Dugen had the intention to unify the various ministries of Xianbei, but it was just intentional and powerless.

Kebi Neng in the east has a strong army, a large number of people, and is ambitious. Kebi can not lead his troops to attack Budu. Budu has to thank his grandfather, let alone the trouble of Budugen taking the initiative to find Ke Binneng.

Xia Zhao's words reminded Lu Yan of many things, but he vaguely remembered, "Bingzhou Xianbei Budugen seems to be close to the old Cao's family, right?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yan changed his mind, and secretly said: "I wonder if there is any chance to win over Budugen now?"
