The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 455: Those barbarians are nothing to be afraid of

Sima De, who was standing by, nodded secretly after listening to Tian Yu's analysis.

The situation described by Tian Yu was roughly the same as the historical records he remembered.

In fact, since the end of the Han Dynasty, there have been many Hu people wreaking havoc in the border areas.

Among them, the five major Hu tribes: Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang and Di are the most famous.

That is, after the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty.

A series of protagonists in an incident known in history as the "Five Barbarians Invading China."

For the Han people today, the most famous of them are naturally the Qiang people in the northwest.

After all, the "Qiang Rebellion" was a major reason for the collapse of the Han Dynasty court.

Even Dong Zhuo in the past was able to control the Han Dynasty and dominate the world.

The help of the Qiang people was also indispensable in this process.

After all, it was the Xiliang Army under his command back then.

But there were quite a few Qiang soldiers mixed in.

However, this is the biggest threat to the Han regime in the future.

That had to be the Xianbei Mountain that rose up north of the Yin Mountains.

The Xianbei people belonged to the Donghu tribe.

It is said that the Xianbei originated from the Donghu.

Later during the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu defeated the Donghu.

The Donghu then split into two groups and retreated to the Wuhuan Mountains and the Xianbei Mountains respectively.

Later, the two tribes took the names of the mountains as their tribe names and developed into the present-day Wuhuan and Xianbei.

The Xianbei, who were defeated by the Xiongnu, fled to the Xianbei Mountains.

That is, the weak tribe in the Greater Khingan Range area in later generations.

However, it later flourished during the period of "Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms".

Not only did they gradually annex the tribes that had originally been subject to the Huns by force.

It became the largest Hu tribe in northern Xinjiang.

Even eight regimes were established in the Central Plains.

Among them, the Northern Wei Dynasty established by Tuoba Xianbei was the most dazzling.

The remaining Hu regimes in the north were successively destroyed, and the unification of the Yellow River Basin was basically completed.

A long-term confrontation occurred with the Han regime in the south.

And this Hu tribe dominated the north in the future.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, its potential has already begun to show.

They trampled under their feet their former big brother, the Xiongnu, and the Wuhuan, who were originally of the same clan and origin.

As early as during the reign of Emperor Huan, the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai unified the Xianbei tribes by force.

They even established a country and created an area of ​​15,000 miles.

The great Xianbei Kingdom, a nomadic and hunting country covering a distance of 5,000 miles from north to south.

After this, the Xianbei became increasingly powerful and often invaded the borders of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

By the way, Tan Shihuai can be considered a heroic leader of the Hu people.

His ability and vision are comparable to that of Genghis Khan of later Mongolia.

If he had lived a little longer, he might have become a genius of his generation.

This Xianbei Khan was ultimately a warlord on the grassland.

And because the culture of the Xianbei people themselves was too backward.

Therefore, after the Xianbei people established their system, they only used the simplest and roughest method to divide their internal ethnic groups.

This also caused the Xianbei to split into three tribes again after Tan Shihuai's death.

That is, the three parts divided by geography: East, Central and West.

The east of Youbeiping is the eastern part, the area from Youbeiping to Shanggu is the central part, and the area west of Shanggu is the western part.

The sphere of influence spanned the two states of You and Bing of the Han Dynasty.

Among them, the Eastern Xianbei had the largest population, but was internally loose.

And because of this branch of Xianbei, they not only had to face the two counties of Xuantu and Liaodong of the Han Dynasty.

They also had to face threats from Buyeo and Goguryeo in the east.

Therefore, its military strength was the weakest, so it had no sense of existence to the Han Dynasty...

The central Xianbei were next, and this tribe was close to the Xianbei royal court.

In the past, he was deeply trusted by Tan Shihuai.

Now he directly obeys Budugen, the grandson of Tan Shihuai.

The Western Xianbei were in a state of chaos due to the fighting between the Qiang and the Han people.

It has the greatest aggressiveness and of course the strongest military strength.

Even this branch of Xianbei had a leader named Kebineng, who was diligent in governing the country and had the style of Tan Shihuai in the past.

Even because of the influence of the Central Plains civilization, the Western Xianbei led by Kebi Neng.

Whether in cultural education, military system, weapons manufacturing or politics.

They all consciously imitated Han culture, so they seemed to have the most presence in the eyes of the Han people.

In addition, after Tan Shihuai's death, his descendants continued to fight among themselves.

As a result, the Xianbei tribes became less and less respectful of the royal court established by Tan Shihuai.

The Xianbei people no longer believed that the Great Khan of the Xianbei could only be the descendants of Tan Shihuai.

Ke Bineng was a man of great martial power and courageous by nature.

A leader who can enforce the law fairly when there are tribal disputes and is not greedy for money.

Thus he stood out among the leaders of the Xianbei tribes.

Now his popularity is gradually overshadowing that of Budugen, the descendant of Tan Shihuai.

And this time when the Wuhuan rebelled, Kebi was the one who supported them behind the scenes.

When Cao Zhang heard this, he sneered:

"Who cares if they are Wuhuan, Xianbei or Xiongnu!"

"To this general, they are all just small slaves."

"In the past, Huo Qubing sealed the Wolf's Lair, and Dou Xian carved a stone tablet at Yanran."

"If you ask me, deal with these prairie wolf cubs."

"That's just one word - beat!"

Xiahou Shang, who was standing by, was startled when he heard this!
He hesitated to speak: "My Lord, you..."

"Huh?" Cao Zhang's eyes suddenly became stern when he heard that!
He glared at Xiahou Shang fiercely and asked, "What objection do you have?"

Cao Zhang knew this as early as when he set out for Youzhou.

Xiahou Shang was a spy planted by Cao Pi.

So I was very displeased with it along the way.

Xiahou Shang also knew that he was not favored by the coach.

So I worked hard all the way.

Seeing Cao Zhang was unhappy, he quickly adjusted his tone and said:
"General, you are wise, but this operation is aimed at suppressing the rebellion, not an expedition to the northern border."

"The southern bandits have not been eliminated, and the national affairs are not settled."

"It is not advisable to create a deeper hatred with the northern barbarians."

Cao Zhang continued to be aggressive when he heard this.

"I know this clearly, no need for you to explain!"

"I know how to deal with these Huyi better than you do."

"These northern barbarians are bullies who only fear the strong and bully the weak."

"Only by defeating them completely can we ensure long-term peace and stability in Youzhou."

"To be timid before the battle is not the style of our army!"

"If you dare to say anything more and destroy our army's morale, I will send you back to the court immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Shang nodded in agreement, feeling mixed emotions.

Although he was sent by Cao Pi, his intention was to assist and monitor Cao Zhang at the same time.

In order to find an opportunity to weaken his achievements, but he was in the army.

Only then did he realize the difficulty of this task.

Faced with Cao Zhang's unparalleled arrogance and the unconditional support of his soldiers.

It is difficult for his relative, who has been in politics for many years, to interfere.

Sima De also smiled slightly at this.

Everyone knows that Xiahou Shang is Cao Pi's man.

So there was no need for him to speak for this guy.

Besides, what Cao Zhang said this time was not wrong.

So he also echoed:

"What the general said is very true."

"They are barbarians, without system or honor."

"They often come in large numbers at the beginning, relying on their bravery and valor, so they are full of momentum."

"But once the two armies are fighting, their morale will collapse."

"Then the Hu tribes will scatter like birds and beasts, and will be slaughtered by our army."

"In the past, General Gongsun Zan of the White Horse was able to defeat the Hu and Yi tribes many times."

"And every time we fight, we win with fewer troops, that's why."
