Chapter 640 Xianbei Incident
Chapter 640 Xianbei Incident
In the second year of Jianxing, summer.
Shortly after Lu Xun sent the letter, he received a letter from Huo Jun from Wuhan.
Lu Xun was overjoyed to see the content of Huo and Ge's approval in the letter. Between the strategies suggested by Huo and Ge, Lu Xun decided to implement them together.
Let Jiang Ji surrender to Guo Huai first to see if he can attract Guo Huai to go south. If Guo Huai is not fooled, he will ask Jiang Ji to lie to Ma Chao about the military situation and try his best to lure Ma Chao to Jincheng.
After the basic plan was finalized, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the Yinping Mountain Road, Lu Xun asked Wei Yanzheng to eliminate the evil barbarians on the Yinping Road. Then he sent more troops to Wang Ping to conquer the Wenshan Qiang, which was actually preparation for the future expedition to Long.
While Lu Xun launched a hunting operation against Ma Chao, Deng Zhi led an envoy of two to three hundred people to borrow a road from Ma Chao and traveled to Zuli at the northern end of Longyou. Then they followed the Yellow River and were escorted by Liang cavalry. Pass through the northern part of Anding County and arrive at Xitao Plain.
Xitao Plain is the site of the old county of Beidi. Due to the Qiang rebellion in the past, Beidi County moved to Guanzhong several times and finally settled in Guanzhong. At present, the Gujun of Beidi is occupied by Xianbei, Qiang, and Huns. Among them are Xianbei tribes such as Chagai, Qifu, and Tufa.
Due to different races and tribes, they attacked and killed each other and had deep grudges. But in the old counties of Beidi, generally speaking, the Xianbei, Qiang, and Huns each have their own territories and are not subordinate to each other. And because it was close to the Han Dynasty, the barbarians declared vassalage to Cao Wei in the early years.
With the rise of Ma Chao in Longyou, many Xianbei, Qiang, and Huns turned to surrender to Ma Chao because of his superior military strength. Ma Chao then ordered them to plunder the merchants and messengers traveling between Liangzhou and Guanzhong in order to cut off Liang. Due to the long-term plundering by the Xianbei and Qiang people, the passage between Liangzhou and Guanzhong was interrupted and separated.
Among them, the Bald-haired tribe entered the old county of Beidi not long ago, and they were originally from the same branch as the Tuoba tribe. However, because his father Tuoba Jiefen died of illness and left a large amount of inheritance to his youngest son Tuoba Liwei, the eldest son, Bald Pigu, had no choice but to move south to Hexi.
Although Bald Pigu was ostracized when he first entered Hexi, he won the respect of many Xianbei people with his force and heroic spirit, and eventually settled down. When Deng Zhi passed by, Bald Pigu heard about the Han envoy. He warmly entertained Deng Zhi because he heard about Huo Jun's name.
When Deng Zhi was about to leave his hometown in the north, the cavalry escorted by the Liang Kingdom returned, leaving Deng Zhi to lead the envoy to the royal court of Kebineng.
On the way, Deng Zhi truthfully recorded all the internal conditions of his old county in Shangbei and used them as intelligence in the future.
Record the information along the way and the tasks assigned by Huo Jun. Although the country is not unified today, for the sake of the long term, Deng Zhi's trip not only had the task of sending Kebineng as an envoy, but also the task of obtaining first-hand information on Xianbei for the Han Dynasty.
Walking along the "ji" shape of the Yellow River, Deng Zhi left Beidi County and entered Shuofang County. The old county of Shuofang was also occupied by Xianbei, among which the most powerful one was the Wuhuilu tribe.
The leader of the Wuhuilu tribe is Dou Bin, who is the leader of the Xianbei tribe in the Jiujun area of Shuofang. Tuoba Liwei, who separated due to his father's death, is Dou Bin's son-in-law.
After the death of Tuoba Jiefen, his eldest brother Bald Pihu led his troops southward. The Tuoba tribe was attacked by Putou, the Xianbei master in the west, and the tribesmen dispersed and fled. Bald Pihu took the opportunity to go north and recruited many tribesmen. The power of the Tuoba tribe was greatly reduced, and the Tuoba tribe became dependent on the Lu tribe.
Due to the annexation issue, Dou Bin went to war with Pu Tou and was defeated by Pu Tou. Fortunately, Tuoba managed to save Dou Bin and saved his life. In order to repay Tuoba Liwei for saving his life, Dou Bin betrothed his daughter to Tuoba Liwei and allowed Tuoba Liwei to graze in the fertile areas of Beichuan.
When he heard that the Han Dynasty delegation had arrived at Shuofang Jiujun, Dou Bin hosted a banquet in honor of Deng Zhi and asked Deng Zhi about the situation of the Han Dynasty. In order to increase his prestige, Deng Zhi told the news that Ma Chao belonged to the Han Dynasty, and told the story of the Han's repeated victories over Cao Wei, which made Dou Bin admire him very much.
Considering that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Dou Bin told Deng Zhi that Putou, who was entrenched in the three counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Shuofang, was cooperating with Cao Wei and hated Kebineng. He suggested that his eldest son should lead the way and bypass the Putou tribe to arrive. Kebineng is in the royal court.
Putou, after the former Western Xianbei master, first joined forces with Kebi Neng to deal with Bu Dugen, and then Kebi Neng was divided between the two. Ke Bineng took the lead in attacking Putou, and joined forces with Dou Bin, who was defeated at that time, to attack Putou entrenched in Zhongtao Plain.
In order to counter Ke Bineng, Pu Tou sent people to ask for help from Yanmen Prefect. After discussion with Qianzhao, Tian Yu and Jie Jun, they decided to support Putou and fight against Kebi Neng who was entrenched in Monan.
The situation on the Monan and Hetao grasslands is relatively clear. Because of Ke Bineng, the western leader Pu Tou cooperated with Cao Wei. However, Kebi was able to adopt the strategy of making distant friends and attacking closely, contacting Dou Bin who was defeated by Pu Tou, and attacked Pu Tou from the east and west.
Once Kebi Neng solves the western master Putou, Kebineng will be able to conquer Xianbei in the west. In Xianbei in the east, Yinli was defeated and his tribe was invaded by Kebineng. In addition, the Xianbei tribes of Murong, Duan, and Yuwen in Liaodong were weak and were not strong enough to compete with Ke Bineng.
Generally speaking, if Kebi can defeat Putou now, he can integrate the western, central and eastern parts to form Xianbei comparable to the Tanshihuai period.
Although Deng Zhi had not met Ke Bineng, he was basically aware of this through communication with Dou Bin.
In order to see Kebineng, Deng Zhi agreed to Dou Bin's suggestion and let his son Dou Suhou lead a horseback riding around Putou's tribe from the north. After several days of riding on horseback, Deng Zhi finally arrived at Kebineng's royal court in Chengle City ( Today's Lingeer County, Inner Mongolia).
Yunzhong Chengle City is generally the location of the well-known Chile River. Because it is close to mountains and lakes and has abundant water and grass, it was valued by Ke Bineng and moved the royal palace here.
Because Ke Bineng paid more attention to Han culture, when Deng Zhi arrived in Chengle City, he saw a large number of Han people farming in the countryside. Even some Xianbei people followed suit and worked in the fields.
Soon, the news of Deng Zhi's arrival in the royal court quickly spread in the city.
Coincidentally, the envoy sent by Cao Rui was talking to Ke Bineng because he was worried that Ke Bineng would attack Cao Wei.
The envoy from Wei State was none other than Yan Rou's younger brother Yan Zhi.
Yan Roushan had good contacts with Xianbei and Wuhuan, and was well-known among the Hu people. With the help of Yan Rou, many Xianbei people surrendered to Cao Wei in the early and middle periods. Even Ke Bineng made an offering to Cao Cao through Yan Rou in the early period and sent three thousand cavalry to help Cao Pi put down the Hejian rebellion.
Because Yan Rou was too old, Cao Wei reused his younger brother Yan Zhi and made him the prefect of Shanggu, specifically to appease Wuhuan and Xianbei. Yan Zhi borrowed the name of Yan Rou and was well-known among the Xianbei people. Even if Ke was more capable, he would give Yan Zhi some face.
In the royal court, Ke Bineng sat on a chair and listened carefully to the conditions proposed by Yan Zhi.
Yan Zhi asked his attendants to present Shan Yuyin and said: "Although the king is a Xianbei barbarian, he has a heart for China, so he has a harmonious relationship with Wei. The late emperor also treated the king with great respect. He first gave money, food, towels, and silk, and then paid homage to him. "Your Majesty, after hearing what the king has done, is willing to worship the king as the Shanyu of Xianbei in the future, hoping that Wei and Xianbei will not attack each other, and the two countries will open their border towns in exchange for furs. "I wonder what Shanyu thinks?"
Ke Bineng looked a little serious and said: "The barbarians do not know the written language, so Yan Jun protects me from the emperor. But judging from the past years, Bu Dugen and Su Li have enmity with me. However, the school captain Tian Yuyin helped Su Li and Bu Dugen led his troops to prevent me from using force, but I don’t know why?”
"The school captain Tian Yu will be transferred to Henan soon. From now on, we, the Wei Dynasty, will never stop Shanyu from attacking other tribes," Yan Zhi said.
Ke Bineng looked at Yan Zhi suspiciously and said, "Putou still has contact with Qianyanmen. I have a grudge against him. I will attack Putou in the future, but I don't know if the Wei army will help Putou?"
"Please rest assured Shanyu!"
Yan Zhi assured Kebi Neng and said: "Today we have sealed the title of Chanyu and Your Highness. If the Chanyu and Putou attack in the future, Wei will never aid Putou. We may even open border trade in the future and sell ironware to the Chanyu."
"Sell iron to me?"
After hearing Yan Zhi's words of assurance, Ke Bineng was already moved. With the title of Shanyu granted by Cao Wei, he will be able to more altruistically command the Xianbei tribes, and can also purchase ironware from Cao Wei.
Once he has iron weapons, he will be able to build a more powerful cavalry force, and Pu Tou will also be annexed by him. After that, through force deterrence, a large number of Xianbei will surrender to him, and he will eventually dominate the grassland.
As for not attacking Cao Wei, it is not a problem for Ke Bineng. Today, his main enemy is Pu Tou in the west, not Cao Wei in the south. If Putou is annexed by him and allowed to dominate the grassland, he can go south to Cao Wei at any time to plunder.
Yan Zhi continued to persuade Ke Bineng and said: "Wei is the orthodoxy of the world and currently occupies China. If the Chanyu is not allowed to rule by Wei, is it possible that he wants to be granted the title of the southern thieves Chanyu?"
"Based on the current situation and my ambition, if the Chanyu can destroy Putou, then all the people in Monan will surrender to the Chanyu. At that time, the Chanyu may not be able to repeat the great achievements of the Xiongnu Chanyu, which is powerful in the desert. Starting from the seaside in the east and reaching the Western Region in the west, he is the hero of the moment!"
Kebi Neng showed a smile and said: "What Yan Jun said must be in line with my heart. It is not that I want to be an enemy of the Wei Dynasty, but because Budugen has always been interested in me in the past, I have to raise troops to fight with him. The two thieves were defeated and fled. When we reach the Wei Kingdom, I wonder if your country can hand it over so that I can avenge the death of the soldier?"
"Hand over Budugen and Suli?" Yan Zhiduo hesitated.
After Bu Dugen and Su Li were defeated by Ke Bineng, they surrendered to Cao Wei one after another because they were afraid of being chased by Ke Bineng. Bu Dugen was placed in Bingzhou, and Suli was placed in Youzhou.
Jin Ke Bineng wanted to kill the two men. In addition to wanting revenge, he also wanted to test Cao Wei's details to see if Cao Wei was really serious about signing a contract with him.
Yan Zhi hesitated for a while and then said: "The two of them have surrendered to the Wei Dynasty now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Shan Yu to achieve what they want!"
As soon as Yan Zhi finished speaking, the attendant came to Ke Bineng's ear and whispered, "Chanyu, I didn't go back to the Lu tribe to escort the Han envoy to Chengle City. What should I do now?"
"Han envoy?"
Kebineng's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he looked a little disbelieving, and asked: "Is it true?"
"Come on, Chanyu, look at his attire and the demeanor of the leader. It doesn't seem to be fake!" the attendant replied.
"Is that so?"
Kebi Neng stroked his beard and took a look at Yan Zhi again.
He was originally persuaded by Yan Zhi to grant him the title of Shan Yu. But now that Deng Zhi suddenly appeared, his heart was moved and he became immersed again.
After a while, Ke Bineng said: "I deeply agree with what Yan Jun said. It's too late today, why don't we talk tomorrow."
"good!"
Although Yan Zhi didn't know what was going on, he could only obey Kebineng's words.
After Yan Zhi retreated, Ke Bi Neng ordered his attendants and said, "Let the Han envoys come to see you tomorrow. What can we say then?"
"correct!"
Ke Bineng seemed to remember something and ordered: "Send someone to closely guard the Han and Wei envoys tonight, and there must be no conflict."
"promise!"
