Chapter 78 The Lobbyist
Outside the Yanmen Pass, the royal court of Xianbei.

Xianbei's base camp is in Shiwei, on the edge of the wilderness.

The Great Wilderness extends from the edge of the Wuzang Mountains to the coast outside Xuantu County.

The further east you go, the weaker the Great Wilderness becomes.

It shows that after the Gongsun family in Liaodong determined the location of the Realm of Alien Beasts through the Great Wall, they didn't even need the special passage projected by the Great Wall. They could physically cross the wilderness to reach the Realm of Alien Beasts in just one month with the advance troops along the coast.

If you take the channel projected by the Great Wall in the wilderness, the time can be shorter.

Back then, the Huns split into the north and the south, and the southern Huns belonged to the empire. The northern Huns would rather die than surrender, but they could no longer stay in Shiwei, so regardless of life and death, they moved to the north of the wilderness. Until now, there is still no news.

Without the guidance of the Great Wall, entering the wilderness is no different from sending one to death.

For Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other ethnic groups, traveling through the wilderness from east to west is not a journey of death.

Because the gap between the Great Wilderness and the Great Wall is not perfect, there are many gaps in between.

The Shiwei Land in Xianbei and the Heishui Land in Wuhuan are the two largest gaps in the east of the Great Wall.

Shiwei is the largest and most fertile grassland north of the Great Wall. It was originally the land of the Xiongnu. Later, with the migration of the Southern Xiongnu, the Northern Xiongnu ventured across the wilderness and went north. After disappearing, the Xianbei occupied this land.

The huge Great Wall separates the inside and the outside, but because the princes have been fighting for hegemony for a long time and the border defenses have been weakened, the Great Wall has not hindered Xianbei's pace.

Xianbei has continued to infiltrate the border counties of the Han Empire over the years, and the tribes have even penetrated into the border counties of Yanmen, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Shuofang, and Beidi.

However, in the troubled times, the princes of all walks of life simply didn't care about the counties and counties in the border areas.

What's more, the economic value of these counties is low, and spending troops to garrison them is tantamount to continuously drawing their own blood.

It wasn't until Cao Cao unified the north that the situation improved.

After Zhang Liao beheaded Tadun in Bailang Mountain, some of the elite were incorporated into the Cao army, and the tribe was included in Youzhou. The rest were either attached to Xianbei or subdued by Gongsun Kang in Liaodong.

The north of Youzhou has thus entered a stable period.

As a result, Wuhuan fell, and Heishui land was also occupied by Xianbei.

Xianbei is very powerful, but the tribes are scattered, the most important are three.

Budugen of the Xianbei Shanyu lineage, the newly rising Kebineng, and the Suli and Mijia tribes of the Eastern Xianbei.

Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen each have ten thousand cavalry under their command.

Ke Bineng's ability is outstanding, and his troops are stronger than Budugen's. In addition to his headquarters Wanqi, there are [-] Wuhuan cavalry serving, but Ke Bineng's appeal is not as good as Budugen's.

Yang Xiu came here this time to persuade Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen to join forces to deal with Shu.

But the trouble is, these two Xianbei leaders have enmity!

Fortunately, for the Xianbei people, interests are more important than hatred.

Yang Xiu came to Ke Bineng's royal court, and the other party was sitting there, watching Hu Ji Yanwu with a group of subordinates.

Seeing Yang Xiu coming, Ke Bineng didn't stop Hu Ji from dancing.

When Ke Bineng had not made his fortune, he was once obedient to Cao Wei, and every year he led his troops to escort supplies to the court.

After Cao Wei lost Guanzhong, his control over the border areas decreased.

The Huns and Xianbei who were originally obedient are not the same as before.

Especially after Kebi was able to behead Fuluohan, Budugen's brother, and merged with his followers, his power and influence became great, even more so.

While waiting, Yang Xiu kept observing the sudden emergence of the Xianbei leader.

Although Ke Bineng's eyes were fixed on the beautiful Orchid in the tent, he was not like other people, who gave the soul to the soul.

He didn't care about the large number of gifts he brought.

This is not a lustful, greedy person.

In Yang Xiu's mind, he made a basic judgment that Ke Bineng was more difficult to deal with than Bu Dugen.

After the dance, Orchid bowed lightly and exited the tent.

Ke Bi Neng looked at Yang Xiu with a playful smile on his face.

"I heard that you persuaded Budugen to attack the Kingdom of Shu. After you succeeded, you came to my territory. Do you know that Budugen and I are enemies?"

"Know!"

"Since you know, you still dare to come?"

"I am here, apart from presenting a gift from the King of Wei to express friendship, I also have a word, for the sake of the adults, and for the sake of Xianbei."

"There are so many chatterers in the Han people, it's not enough to believe it. Since you are the envoy of King Wei, let me just listen. If you say something wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Xianbei, Xiongnu and other races mostly live by aquatic plants, right?"

"So what, are you trying to say that your Han people's way of life is better than my Xianbei's? I'm not the idiots of the Huns, who will believe your Han people's words and go south to join us."

A smile appeared on Yang Xiu's face.

"Does your lord know anything about Beidi County?"

"Humph!"

Ke Bineng showed resentment on his face.

"The prince of Shu, what kind of deer god is used to deceive my Xianbei people. Many tribes under my command have been deceived by him, and have lost their wealth, land and population. Every time I think of this, I wish I could peel that scorpion to pieces."

Xianbei was originally a tribal alliance.

There are many small tribes under the big tribe.

Xianbei lived as nomads. Since those tribes entered the Northland, they seemed to have lost contact with them, and they were no longer controlled by Ke Bineng. This is what he resented.

"Adults only know one thing, but not the other."

"Second?"

"The prince of Shu has an army capable of commanding the wind and rain, which can turn the desert into fertile land."

"What's the big deal, there are wizards in my tribe who are good at this technique. Aren't there many people in your country of Wei?"

Kebi can't care less.

"But can the priests under the command of your lord turn the land of a county into fertile land?"

"One... one county?"

Ke Bi Neng showed a feeling of astonishment, but Yang Xiu said in the affirmative.

"One county!"

Ke Bi Neng shook his head.

"cannot!"

"The prince of Shu can do it. Now around the city of Beidi County, the original grassland has turned into farmland. It was originally a deserted land, but grasslands have also appeared."

Yang Xiu glanced at Ke Bineng, and a look of suspicion appeared on Ke Bineng's face.

Yang Xiu waited for a while, but Ke Bineng continued to speak without ridicule or rebuttal.

"Now it's Beidi, and in the future it will be Xihe, Shangjun, Shuofang, Jiuyuan, and Yunzhong. If things go on like this, is there still a place for Xianbei in this world?"

Ke Bi Neng had a sullen face with a depressed expression.

Ke Bineng was no ordinary Xianbei leader. He knew the reasons for the rise of the Huns and the consequences of their split.

What Kebi can dream of is that one day he can unify Xianbei and reproduce the grand event of the Huns in the past.

Now that the Han Kingdom is split, it is a godsend opportunity for the Xianbei people.Only by unifying the Xiongnu before the Han people unified the empire, like Maodun in the past, can they cross the Great Wall and drink horses from the Yellow River.

Just like what Yang Xiu said, after more than ten or twenty years, Xianbei might have to curl up outside the Great Wall to survive.

Liu Chan is digging their roots!

"Okay, I promise you that we will attack Shu together. However, I will add another [-]% to what you give to Budugen."
