Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 181 The bald man is here

It is already autumn, and there is not much time left before the autumn harvest. It is impossible for the 40,000 state and county soldiers brought by Zhu Xu to stay in Liangzhou.

In addition to taking over the task of taking over Xijun, Huanxi also needed to form an alliance with various Xianbei ministries to clarify his relationship with them.

Since it is an alliance, you must bring enough troops and horses to highlight your strength and make all the ministries fearful.

With the surrender of the Qifu tribe, the rebels were eradicated, and the rumors caused by the heavy frost in May naturally dissipated.

The 10,000 elite cavalrymen from Wuwei, Jincheng, and Xiping counties were no longer in panic and were able to respond to the call normally.

At the same time, Huan Xi also brought 5,000 lances and 8,000 bows to Liangzhou, with a total of 23,000 cavalry.

This was still not enough for Huanxi who wanted to show his strong martial virtue to Xianbei in Hexi.

Therefore, even though Huan Xi knew that the Xianbei surrendered soldiers could not go to the battlefield for the time being, he still chose to appease the 30,000 surrendered soldiers and decided to take them to join the alliance with various ministries.

If there is a real battle, it would be enough to assign Liang Jun's spear cavalry, Xiongnu's bow cavalry, and Liangzhou's fine cavalry.

As for the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry, because their families were all under Huan Xi's rule, and with Huan Xi's promise, there was no possibility of rebellion.

Huan Xi only needs them to act as an atmosphere team to give him a strong momentum.

After Huan Xi surrendered the Xianbei cavalry, Zhu Xu asked Huan Xi to resign. After receiving permission, he led 20,000 state and county soldiers to leave.

The 20,000 state and county soldiers who were previously arranged in Xiping County to assist Yang An in stabilizing the situation will be brought back by Qinzhou Sima.

When Huan Xi sent Zhu Xu away, a delegation also came from the north. The leader was named Tufa Sifutan, and he was the son of Tufa Tuijin, the leader of the Tufa tribe.

There is no doubt that Qifu Xianbei, as the most powerful branch among the Xianbei tribes in Hexi, has now surrendered to Huan Xi, which has had a huge impact on various Xianbei tribes.

Especially Bald Xianbei, they are not far away from Yuzhong County where Huanxi garrisoned.

In the 220th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD ), Tuoba Jiefen, the leader of Xianbei Suotou, died. The mother of the second son Tuoba Liwei was regarded as a goddess by the tribe, so he was able to succeed to lead Suotou.

The eldest son Tuoba Pigu failed to inherit the position of leader, but he still got some herdsmen.

Just like the split between Murong Xianbei, the relationship between Tuoba Liwei and Tuoba Pigu also deteriorated due to competition for pasture. In the end, Tuoba Pigu led his troops to move westward, which is the origin of Bald Xianbei.

The head of Xianbei Suo is the predecessor of Tuoba Xianbei.

The strength of Bald Xianbei cannot be compared with that of his distant relative Tuoba Xianbei.

As a tribal alliance similar to the Qifu Xianbei, the combined population of each tribe is equivalent to that of a single Qifu tribe, with only about 40,000 tents.

After all, under the leadership of Bald-Faced Tree Function, Bald-Faded Xianbei resisted the Western Jin Dynasty for ten years and suffered heavy losses, and they have not recovered until now.

The bald Si Futan sat on the horse restlessly. Now that Huan Xi controlled the Qifu tribe, he was even more powerful. No tribe in Xianbei, Hexi, dared to be his enemy.

However, Huan Xi successively moved the Zhang family and the Qifu family to Chang'an for confinement. Tufa Sifutan was also worried that if he obeyed Huan Xi, the Tufa family would follow in the footsteps of the Zhang family and the Qifu family.

If Huan Xi really insisted on doing this, he could only risk uniting various ministries to resist his rule.

When the delegation came to Yuzhong City, Huan Xi was deepening his feelings with the Xianbei cavalry in their camp.

After learning that Tufa Xianbei had sent an envoy, Huanxi returned to his residence to meet Tufa Sifutan as the envoy.

"Sifu Dan paid homage to the Great Chanyu."

The bald Sifu Zhan saluted Huan Xi respectfully.

Da Shanyu is naturally the name given to Huan Xi by the Hu people, but the Han people will still call him Liang Gong.

The bald Si Futan is forty years old and is a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance.

Huan Xi nodded slightly, pointed to the seat beside him, and said, "No need to be polite, please take a seat."

The bald Si Futan expressed his gratitude and then took his seat.

Huan Xi opened the conversation first and asked about the physical condition of Bald Si Futan's father, Bald Tujin.

There is a big age difference between Bald Tuijin and his son Bald Fa Sifu Dan. Bald Fa Sifu Dan replied:

"I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Liang's concern. My father is nearly a hundred years old. Although he has limited mobility, he is in good health and has not been ill in recent years."

It turns out that Bald Fa Tuijin was ninety-nine years old at the time, and Bald Fa Sifutan was his youngest son who was born when he was nearly sixty years old.

Bald Sifu Dan has many brothers, but as of today, they are numbered on one hand.

Huan Xi knew very well that if his memory was correct, Bald Tuijin lived to be one hundred and ten years old, and killed all his sons except Bald Sifutan.

In this regard, Huan Xi said sincerely:

"I really want to meet your father and ask him face to face how to live a long life."

In an era when people in their thirties can call themselves old men, there are people who can live to be 110 years old. Huan Xi can't help but feel envious.

The bald Sifutan complimented:

"The great Chanyu is destined to live a long life."

Huan Xi laughed and shook his head:

"How dare I wish for a long life without borders? If God can give me a life span of eighty years, I will be satisfied."

If Huan Xi could really live to be eighty years old, he would be satisfied. He is afraid that Aman and Xianghaier will jump in anxiety and shout that the enemy is in Weiyang Palace.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and Huan Xi finally asked Bald-haired Si Futan about his purpose.

The bald Si Futan said tactfully:

"My father intends to submit to the Great Chanyu, but it is difficult to leave his homeland. Now that he is old, I am afraid that it will be difficult to follow the Great Chanyu to Chang'an."

Huan Xi finally knew what Mr. Tufa was worried about. He smiled and said:

"Your father is actually overly worried. The reason why I took Zhang away was because I was worried that Zhang Yaoling would be murdered because of his young age.

"Huan is his brother-in-law, so he naturally has the responsibility to protect him.

"If we only take Zhang Yaoling away, we are worried that his clan members will try to seize his inheritance, so we have to move all the Zhang family to Chang'an.

"As for the Qifu clan, although they reined in their horses, Huan really couldn't trust them to stay in Liangzhou, so he had no choice but to do so.

"There is no rebellion in the Bald Hair Division now. As long as you are willing to accept my jurisdiction and obey my command, how can I force you to stay away from your homeland.

"Huan is about to have an alliance with various Xianbei tribes in Guzang. When the time comes, I will answer everyone's questions one by one.

"Please also tell your father for me that Huan sincerely invites you. Don't believe it."

When the bald-haired Sifu Tao heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he agreed.

After talking about the business, Huan Xi immediately invited Tufa Sifutan to go with him to inspect the Xianbei camp. Tufa Sifutan naturally would not refuse.

Huan Xi left and returned again, and was still warmly welcomed by the Xianbei soldiers wherever he went.

The bald Si Futan followed behind, silently watching all this, and then he and Huan Xi inspected the lance cavalry, bow cavalry, and Liangzhou fine cavalry.

In particular, Liang Jun's Lancers left a deep impression on Bald-haired Si Futan, and made him more determined in his thoughts.

　Let’s post a small chapter first. It’s only 9,000 words, but I still haven’t achieved the goal of 10,000 words. Good night, everyone.
