Wei Ni

Ke Bineng is the person who has the best chance of unifying the tribes of Xianbei after Tan Shihuai.

Born in a small tribe, with his bravery in combat, fair law enforcement, and kindness under his command, he counterattacked and became the leader of the tribe. He has also made great achievements in tactics.

For example, for a long time, he took the initiative to show his favor to Wei Guo.

For example, during the period of Wei Wu and Cao Cao, he took the initiative to pay tribute and even sent troops to help put down the rebellion; after Cao Pi replaced the Han, he took the initiative to return more than 500 Daijun households and more than 1000 Shanggu households who had fled to his territory before returning to the Han territory, and brought them with him. Cattle and horses trade with Cao Wei.

But all this is for the hope of unifying the tribes of Xianbei.

His territory is outside Daijun and Shanggujun, if he has not made good friends with Wei State, there is no guarantee that when he leads the Monan Xianbei expedition to Mobei, Wei State and other tribes will occupy his territory.

Yes, Kebi can do the previous feat of Tan Shihuai dominating Mobei!

After he returned to Monan, he began to reveal his ambition to become the hero of the grassland.

After the Huns, there are two options for becoming the hero of the grassland.

One is the uncrowned king.

Through frequent invasions of the Han land, the Central Plains dynasty was forced to take the initiative to come to make peace with each other and make an appointment as a brotherly state.In this way, this leader will become the uncrowned king, and all the tribes living outside the Great Wall are willing to submit.

Suli, the master of Xianbei in the east, chose this path.

After the death of Wei Wu Cao Cao, in order to prove his ability to other tribes, he took the lead in attacking Wei State, crossing Yanshan Mountain frequently to invade the border county of Youzhou.

It's just that he had bad luck.

At this time, Tian Yu had just been appointed as the Captain of Huwuhuan.

Tian Yu, who used to be under the command of "White Horse General" Gongsun Zan, has always been like an enemy when it comes to fighting against Hulu invaders and harassing the border.With the power of five victories in five battles, Su Li's ambition was defeated, and he fled back to his old lair outside the Great Wall to linger on his last breath.

The other is to unify Monan and Mobei and become a veritable king.

This is what the two Shanyus, Mao Dun and Tan Shihuai, have done, and it is exactly what Kebi can want to do.

Therefore, after Kebineng unified Mobei, Suli, who was the head of the eastern Xianbei lord, and Budugen, another central Xianbei lord, became obstacles that he had to overcome.

In fact, he's about to do it.

In the early days, Nengchen Di of Wuhuan, the county, betrayed the state of Wei and asked Fu Luohan, the leader of the Xianbei tribe, to protect him. When he got too much help, he sent someone to contact Ke Bineng.

Kebi was trusted, so he was invited to ride more than ten thousand riders.

Originally, the three families planned to make an oath to watch each other, but Ke Bineng took advantage of the alliance to kill Fu Luohan, annexed his tribe, and ordered his son to return to Ni to lead.

Fuluohan is Budugen's middle brother.

Therefore, Budugen and Ke Bineng had hatred, and they attacked each other repeatedly. However, Budugen was hard to match in terms of general strategy and strength. (household).

Even if he successfully instigated his nephew Xie Guini to bring his tribe over to attack and kill his father and enemy with the excuse of "unreliable relatives", but he still has no change in the result of being difficult to match Ke Bineng.

The strong will do everything possible to invade and plunder, and the weak will seek to be attached.

This is the eternal melody of the Hulu tribes outside the Great Wall and the Central Plains dynasty.

In order not to be killed by Ke Bi Neng and annex the tribe, Bu Dugen asked for help from the Yanmen prefect to recruit him, and asked to be attached to the Wei State, and was allowed to nomad in Yanmen and Taiyuan.Although later, Qianzhao took him and Xie Guini to expedition to the Hetao Plain and defeated Ke Bineng in Yunzhong County, but his original territories outside the Great Wall fell into Ke Bineng's hands without changing the inside.

Pingcheng, which is the core of the territory, was also regarded by Ke Bineng as the center of his rule in Monan.

Suli, the master of Xianbei in the east, is similar.

After he violated the Xianbei Covenant and sold war horses to Wei, he was attacked by Ke Bineng.

Knowing that he was unable to resist, he also asked Tian Yu for help, and Tian Yu sent troops to help him out of the siege regardless of the previous suspicions; The state of Wei is attached.

Similarly, Tian Yu also led him to attack Ke Bineng's territory for the battle of Macheng.

During this battle, Ke Bineng was defeated due to the timely recruitment of soldiers, and the dead bodies stretched for more than [-] miles.

Even Pingcheng was taken back!
However, Wei Guo had no way to occupy this city that could enter Tuhetao.

The northern territory of Yanmen County has long been lost, and Ke Bineng, who has long dominated Mobei and annexed the entire Hetao Plain, can easily recover and make a comeback.

If you want to stick to this city, the result is nothing more than Liu Bang's siege of Baideng back then.

Well, to the east of Pingcheng is Baideng Mountain.

After this war, the Suli Department moved to Hebei, relying on the protection of Tian Yu and Wei Guo, and died in Han.

However, Ke Bineng, who was defeated, was able to annex Suli's territory and became the only tribal leader in the central and eastern Xianbei.

But people did not give him the title of Shan Yu.

If Budugen can have his achievements and deeds, then Shanyu's position will become worthy of the name; and Ke Bineng, who is not blessed by Tan Shihuai's blood and born in a small species, will still continue to fight.

It was for this reason that I accepted the invitation of the Kingdom of Shu to drive troops across the Hetao Plain to Longyou.

If at that time he had been able to attack back and forth with the Kingdom of Shu and defeated the Yongliang and Liang ministries of the Kingdom of Wei, then the Kingdom of Shu would have gained Longyou, and he would have had both sides—

The Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Shu are the life-and-death enemies in the orthodox struggle, and who can occupy Guanzhong is related to who can win the hearts of the people in the world, so both sides will win over him, a third party, for their own interests.It is not difficult to admit that he is a Shan Yu, take the initiative to make peace with the brotherhood, and so on.

It's just a pity that at that time, he had just led his troops to arrive, and the Shu Kingdom stopped the troops and returned.

Keep him busy.

Therefore, the only way left for him is to go to war against Wei Guo across the board.

Only by forcing Wei Guo to make peace with each other by force and opening up the mutual market between border counties can he prove that he is the wolf who can give all the tribes in Monan a better life.

Only in this way, the tribes who follow the law of the jungle are willing to support him as the lord of the grassland.

This is also the reason why he sent envoys to have an affair with Budugen.

On the grassland, it is very common to draw swords against each other yesterday and toast to drink together today.

He put forward the basis of reconciliation that he was willing to marry Bu Dugen to show that he would never betray the alliance. As the grandson of Tanshihuai, how can Dugen rely on the breath of the Han people?
In this regard, Bu Dugen was convinced.

It's not that he remembered the glory after he was born with Tanshi Huai, but that Qianzhao had already died of illness.

For the attached Hulu tribe, the people who can protect their own interests are the generals on the border of the county, not the temples of Wei State in the hinterland of the Central Plains.If you believe in the temple, it is a lesson from the past that if the Southern Xiongnu was split into five tribes after it was attached, and Shan Yu had been kept in captivity in Wei Guoguo, he changed Youxian King to Beijianguo.

Another reason is that Bu Dugen also knew that Tian Yu was coming to Bingzhou.

Both Tian Yu and Qianzhao were good generals in the northern border of the Wei State, but there was an essential difference between the two of them in their views on the Hulu tribe.

It is a combination of kindness and majesty to treat the Hulu tribe by leading the move.

As long as the Hulu tribe no longer invades the frontier and submits to Wei, then Yanzhao will protect all the interests of this tribe as a vassal of Wei.

But Tian Yu, who came from a poor family and was from Youzhou, had a very murderous intention.

He felt that Hu Lu was always capricious and had no credibility at all, and he must not be allowed to sit on the big seat.The foundation of the peace between the two sides is that the Wei State should support the weak, suppress the strong, divide and dissension, let the Hulu tribes kill each other, and maintain a state of decline.

If a tribe shows signs of rising, no matter whether it is outside the Great Wall or has become a vassal of the Wei State, it should be dealt with to kill the danger in the cradle.

Budugen is very weak now, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to restore his strength in the future.

Therefore, Tian Yu's coming to Bingzhou also meant that Wei Guo put a shackle on the hope of his tribe's future rise.

Not to mention that he is the empress of Tan Shihuai.

With Tian Yu's style, he will be strictly guarded against.

He would even deliberately wait for the opportunity to turn him into a puppet of Wei State's order and division of the Xianbei tribe outside the Great Wall!
Because in Tian Yu's philosophy, the Xianbei Shanyu who is not threatening is a good Shanyu; the vassal who has always been weak and looks up to the state of Wei, and can occasionally get what he wants is a good vassal.

Therefore, Bu Dugen felt that Ke Bineng's sentence of "separation and intimacy" was quite right.

And after Bigui, the governor of Bingzhou, had buried thousands of soldiers and horses, he would have no choice—if he was replaced by other frontier generals of Wei, he might only put the hatred of these dead soldiers on Ke Bineng's head, but if Tian Yu Well. He doesn't think Budugen is innocent!
As long as there is a chance, this hatred will definitely be found back!

After all, what boy from the border county of Youzhou has accumulated deep-seated hatred for Xianbei for generations?
Let's talk dry.

Xiahouhe picked up the wine cup on the table and moistened his throat before continuing.

"Sixth brother, the troubles of Xianbei have been fierce since the previous dynasty. Although they are not as strong as they were in the past, our country of Wei also needs heavy troops to prevent the invasion of Shu and Wu. The palace invites Ying to follow the expedition. When the emperor asks for a strategy, he must not speak out the strong words of destroying Xianbei, so as not to give others an excuse to criticize the six brothers for exaggerating. And in the face of the lessons learned by the history of the governor, His Majesty will have a heart for those who are not good at border affairs It’s a bad thing, the sixth brother has never been to Bingzhou, if you say something like ‘I want to follow the prefect of Tian to ask for a disobedience’, it may make your majesty feel at ease, and then allow the sixth brother’s request to follow the levy.”

Of course I know this!
How could Wei Huo have the national power to reproduce Wei Huo's achievements before the great unification of Wei State!
In other words, even if the Wei State achieved great unification, before a period of self-cultivation and restoration of national strength, he went out to expedition to Mobei without a period of self-cultivation, it would be nothing more than repeating the mistakes of the three-way attack on Xianbei by Emperor Hanling in the past.

"I know about this matter, Yiquan doesn't need to ask."

Gently nodding, Xia Houhui said with a smile, "Since Your Majesty manages Bingzhou with Tian Taishou, he will be the main one. How dare I make false remarks?"

"That's good."

Hearing this, Xia Houhe quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't talk about state affairs anymore, and it was getting late and the city gate had already been locked and curfew, so he also stayed in the small house and talked about household chores with Xia Houhui.

The next day, after noon.

Xia Houhui, who estimated the time when Emperor Cao Rui's East Hall would be in power, came to Sima Gate to knock on the gate to ask for an audience.

But he had just arrived at the gate of the city, and before he asked the soldiers on duty to pass the pass, a young servant who had been waiting for a long time came to him in small steps, bowed and said, "Your Majesty knows that General Xiahou is coming to see you today. , so let me wait here, and ask the general to follow me into the forbidden area."

Alas!
The emperor expected me to come?
It seems that everyone in the government and the public knows that I am devoted to meritorious deeds~
Xia Houhui, who was slightly surprised, sighed in his heart and then said slowly with a smile, "Okay, I'm sorry."

All the way without a word, to Chonghua Houdian.

Going to take the shoes, bowing your head and cupping your hands, you walked in. Just about to pay respects, Cao Rui, the emperor who was at the top, took the lead.

After saying that, he slapped his palms to Jiang Ji, who was sitting next to him, and joked, "Jiang Qing, I would like to accept the bet. Don't forget to send the jade to me after leaving the palace today."

Make a bet on whether I will enter the palace?
It seems that the emperor is in a good mood today.

If there is no accident, it should be that he has already cared about the matter of cutting Ke's performance, right?

Thinking to himself, Xia Houhui got up after paying respects, and did not forget to salute Jiang Ji who was opposite him before taking his seat.

Regarding this, Jiang Ji smiled and nodded, then cupped his hands and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty's insight is beyond the reach of this old minister. It's just that this old minister is greedy and despicable, and he doesn't want to part with jade, so he wants to make another bet with His Majesty. Fan knocking on the que must have come to seek the conquest of the Xianbei thieves."

"Hahaha~~"

Hearing this, Emperor Cao Rui laughed out loud.

He also shook his head and pointed at Jiang Ji, pretending to be angry and criticizing, "Jiang Qing is really greedy and despicable!"

Xia Houhui, who was sitting next to him, saw the scene of laughing and having fun, and immediately understood the gambling game between Cao Rui and Jiang Ji.

It was nothing more than Cao Rui's spur of the moment, betting with Jiang Ji on whether he would come to Kou Que today, and Jiang Ji knew he would come, but he didn't want to spoil the emperor, so he deliberately allowed it;

Sophisticated with this kind of human feelings, it made the emperor more happy.

It can be seen from this that Jiang Ji is favored and trusted by Cao Rui not only because of his own talents and learning, but also because he is well versed in the way of serving the emperor.

If I return to Luoyang to serve in the future, I will pay more attention to the behavior of these veterans.

Just as Xia Houhui was introspecting in his heart, Cao Rui, the emperor who just laughed, said, "When Zhiquan entered the palace, he must have known about the affairs of Bingzhou, but he didn't. What can Zhiquan do?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Hui has no idea."

Xia Houhui hurriedly straightened up to salute, and said in a clear voice, "Hui's meeting with Jiang Hujun is exactly as Jiang Hujun expected, in order to come here to recruit Xianbei thieves." Then he added a sentence, "Previously, your Majesty has made a decision to use Tian Taishou to manage the matter of merging the state. Hui has never traveled to Bingzhou. If he can join the conquest as he wishes, he will act according to His Majesty's order and make decisions based on Tian Taishou's opinion. He is also good at assertiveness and lying."
