I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 211 Central Xianbei

God seemed not to want Liu Bian's first year of Guangxi to go too smoothly.

It's winter, it's cold.

The cold wind howled.

Liu Bian was in the palace, and everything from his clothes to the stove in the palace protected him from the severe cold.

But most people don't have such conditions.

The only good news is that there won't be any massive snowfall this winter.

However, misfortunes lie on the back of blessings, and blessings lie on the backs of misfortunes.

The people in the fields in Sanfu were able to continue to strengthen their houses, but facing Xianbei who was short of supplies in Youbin Erzhou, they lost the barrier of ice and snow.

Danhan Mountain, Xianbei Royal Court.

After Qianman died in Shanggu County, Kuitou gained great power and even hoped to trace the story of his grandfather Tanshihuai, which once again attracted the Xianbei masters from the east and west to surrender.

Therefore, although Kuitou did not expect his son to become the new leader of the Xianbei royal court, he still hoped to accumulate some political capital for his heirs in his remaining days.

At the peak of his career, when he should be full of ambition, his body could not support it.

Time waits not for us!

However, his son, like Qian Man, who had fought with him, was too young to inherit his position, and forcing him to do so would only repeat Qian Man's fate.

Once he dies, his two younger brothers must not bully his son like he bullied Qian Man.

In the cold wind, Kuitou led his two younger brothers, Fu Hanluo and Bu Dugen, to walk on the winter grassland.

Thereby providing blessing to the heirs.

Rather than like now, although he inherited the royal court established by Tan Shihuai, he was actually just the Lord of Xianbei in the central region.

Fuhanluo was rough and irritable, and even his own son was not close enough to him.

But at the beginning, Tan Shihuai was unwilling to accept the canonization and marriage of the Han people. Kuitou had always followed Tan Shihuai as an example, and of course he would not make this decision that went against his ancestors.

In fact, Kuitou had another choice, to show favor to the Han people and use the power of the Han people to help his son inherit his position.

The Xianbei people were influenced by the dual influence of the Huns and Han people, and were inevitably influenced by the customs and habits of both.

When the leader suppressed Qian Man before, he never thought that the boomerang would come back to him so quickly.

The leader will not underestimate him for anything.

But his family knows his own affairs, and only he knows the troubles of the leader.

But the leader has no choice. Once something happens to him, he will pass over Fu Hanluo and pass the leadership position to Bu Dugen.

But he still suppressed his physical discomfort, stretched out his hand, and stopped his two younger brothers and cronies from moving forward.

Behind them are the warriors of their tribe.

Compared with the greedy Fu Hanluo, Bu Dugen, who is more intelligent in doing things, is more interested in Kuitou, although in Kuitou's view, Bu Dugen may not be enough to defend Chengdu.

Just as the leader was about to speak, a violent cough interrupted his thoughts. His face flushed red and his eyesight turned black, as if his heart and lungs were about to be coughed out at the next moment.

The leader looked at his two younger brothers.

Even if he is given another ten years... no, five years, he is confident that he can regain the glory of his grandfather.

"This year Shaoxue, I want to unite the masters from the east and west and go south to get grain slaves."

For Xianbei people like Fuhanluo and Budugen, going south since Tanshihuai is nothing new and has become commonplace.

But uniting East and West? The word had not appeared since their uncle and company were shot dead by the Northlanders in the west.

The east is the birthplace of the Xianbei people. A large part of the Xianbei tribes in the west were originally Huns. They lived together with the Xianbei people who later moved westward, intermarried with each other, and were gradually transformed into Xianbei people.

During the Tanshihuai period, in order to better control the east and west, the western Xianbei with obvious Xiongnu characteristics were transferred to the east to play the role of the eastern master. At the same time, the Xianbei people who migrated from the east served as the western leaders.

But the descendants of Tanshihuai obviously did not have such reputation and means. Before the next Xianbei people with the same reputation as Tanshihuai appeared, no one could gather these three scattered forces, including the central Xianbei.

Bu Dugen looked at Kuitou. He was the most influenced by the Han among the three brothers. He tried his best to remind Kuitou in a gentle manner - I know you want to integrate the east and west, but wake up, you don't have the ability, do you know?

You couldn't do it when you were healthy before, but now that you're not doing well, do you think you can do it again?

I'm afraid there's something wrong with my thinking!

Bu Dugen's worries were reasonable. The most important thing was that he had received a hint from the leader that he would become the successor to the leader's position.

If you want to unite the East and the West and get help from these two parties, what will be the price?

Bu Dugen didn't know, but he knew that what he had to pay should originally belong to him in the future.

But Fu Hanluo's thinking was even simpler. He was worried that the leader would take this opportunity to attack the tens of thousands of subordinates in his hands.

Kuitou knew that Fu Hanluo and Bu Dugen would not agree, but Kuitou didn't care.

"Remember, what I give to you is yours."

He looked at the two of them with sharp eyes and said word by word: "I have decided on this matter!"

The cronies who followed the leader were ready, but the only sound from the scene was the neighing of the war horses.

He met the two of them not for discussion, but just to inform them personally.

Because he is still the leader of the royal court and the Xianbei Lord in the central region.

"Only what brother's riding whip points to!" Bu Dugen, who understood the extra meaning of Kuitou's words, immediately changed his stance.

Although Fuhanluo was dissatisfied, he could only agree.

He then questioned: "In the past two years, our troops have often suffered setbacks when going south. I heard that this is the case for both the Eastern and Western troops."

Fu Han Luo told the truth.

The Han Dynasty deployed many soldiers and horses in You and Liangzhou.

There are Dong Zhuo's trusted soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, as well as Cao Cao's headquarters troops and horses. After Youzhou put down the Erzhang Rebellion, Youzhou has maintained a county army of more than 10,000 people.

In addition to ensuring that the Hu people in the state can sing and dance well, the most important duty of these soldiers and horses is to guard against intruders from Xianbei tribes who have been invading for many years.

"Go back to the tent first!" Kuitou didn't care about Fu Han Luo's little thoughts.

In his big tent, there was a huge map, which included Fuyu in the east and Wusun in the west, including all the Xiongnu's former territories.

To the south, the map not only includes the nine peripheral counties of the Han family and the vassal state of Liaodong, but also extends southward until the words Luoyang and Chang'an appear.

This is what Tanshihuai left behind.

"The Han people have heavy troops in both Youzhou and Bingzhou, but I discovered an omission."

The leader stretched out a hand and patted the map. The place he was pointing at was Beidi County.

Kuitou put the direction of the main attack here carefully.

First, the Xianbei tribe in the east is divided, and the authority of the Eastern adults is limited. But the Westerners, like the central ones, still retain their appeal. In other words, Western Xianbei is reliable.
