Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 413 The Last Huns
Guo Jia persuaded Cao Cao that once the Huguan was lost, Gao Gan was already a frightened bird, and he should take Bingzhou with all his might. He led [-] troops to attack Shangdang.

As soon as Cao Cao's army came out, Gao Gan felt that he was invincible, so Liu Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng accepted the Shangdang, and fled to the Xiongnu with thousands of cavalry.Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng were killed by Zhang Liao and Zhang Jai respectively.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing beat the Xiongnu to the ground and began to decline. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, after the death of the Huns, the Huns were divided into North and South Xiongnu.The northern Xiongnu lived in Mobei, and were defeated by the Eastern Han Dynasty several times and split again. One part moved westward to Europe or scattered in the Western Regions, one part was annexed by Xianbei, and one part went south and merged into the Southern Huns.The Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty and lived in Hetao and Bingzhou Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and other counties, and Wuyuan is the hometown of Lu Bu.The Yellow Turban Uprising, Dong Zhuo's chaos, and feudal lords' disputes made the Southern Huns restless, once again showing their original shape and looting everywhere, taking the opportunity to occupy a large area.

Cao Cao's first battle at Guandu established his dominance in the Central Plains, captured Jizhou and Youzhou, shocked Hebei, and also shocked the Huns.The Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan discussed with his subordinates that he must not offend Cao Cao because of the senior officials. Therefore, not only did he not accept the senior officials, but he also planned to capture the senior officials and give them to Cao Cao as a meeting gift, in an attempt to continue to retain the existing status and land.

The poor high-ranking officer ascended to heaven and had nowhere to escape. After thinking about it, his father Gao Gong had an old friend with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so he abandoned his soldiers and horses and fled to Jingzhou with only a few cavalry with his confidantes.

After Gao Gan died, Cao Cao was not satisfied. He wanted to solve the problem of the Huns.However, the declining Huns are already powerful, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them, they can only be divided.

First of all, Cao Cao took advantage of the contradictions among the tribes of the Xiongnu and the ambitions among the leaders of the tribes to divide the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes, the left, the south, the north, the middle, and scattered them to live in various places. A Sima is sent to supervise and is under the jurisdiction of the states and counties.The status of the nobles of each tribe has been improved, and they are happy and comfortable, and they go to their respective territories.

Second, cancel Shan Yu's rights.Cao Cao detained Shanyu Huchuquan in Yecheng, awarded him a high title, and raised him like a pig, while the various ministries of the Huns were governed by King Youxian.Since then, Shan Yu has lost his appeal among the tribes and has only become a decoration.

The last step is to draw the bottom line.In order to disintegrate the Huns from the root, Cao Cao compiled the middle and lower Huns into the Chinese register, changed their Chinese surnames, learned Chinese characters, practiced Han rites, wore Han clothes, retired from pastures to farming, and allowed intermarriage with Han people in order to gradually Sinicize.Even Cao Cao moved some of the Huns to Hanoi, Luoyang and other places, which not only solved the problem of insufficient population, but also weakened the population of the Huns.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, even though Hu Chuquan has all kinds of thoughts, but the tribes have been divided, and he has become a naked man, so he has to go to Yecheng to live a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day.

Cao Cao took several measures to bring the southern Xiongnu into the territory of the Han Dynasty. Except for Wuhuan, the north was basically peaceful.But from then on, the Han people in the north began to mix.Cao Cao did not forget to inquire about Cai Yan's whereabouts from Huchuquan, and learned that Cai Yan was taken away by Liu Bao, the virtuous king of Zuo, and he seemed to have given birth to two children.

Liu Bao was the son of Yu Fuluo, Shanyu of the Southern Huns. After Yu Fuluo's death, his younger brother Huchuquan succeeded Shanyu and was named King Zuoxian.Liu Bao is a descendant of Maodun Chanyu, the leader of the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, married a daughter of the clan to Modun Chanyu as a concubine princess, and became brothers with Modun Chanyu. Therefore, Maodun Shanyu His descendants all take Liu as their surname.

To prevent the conflict from intensifying, according to the rules of the Huns, Cao Cao paid a lot of money to Liu Bao, the wise king of Zuo, to redeem Cai Yan.This made Cao Cao very unhappy. He resettled Zhang Yan and the residents of Heishan in Bingzhou, which not only solved the problem of resettlement, but also reduced the territory of the Huns. He promoted Zhang Yan to General Anbei, and gave Zhang Yan a secret order: The Huns made trouble and suppressed it mercilessly.

If Zhou Cang were here, he would definitely persuade Cao Cao to kill Liu Bao, not only because Liu Bao was capable, but he also gave birth to a remarkable son named Liu Yuan, who was the son of the Han Zhao Dynasty in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. The founding emperor.

Until July of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao took Sikong Xi Cao Lingshi Liang Xi as the governor of Bingzhou, and led the army back to Yecheng. It should have been a great event to pacify the north, but Cao Cao couldn't be happy at all.Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to Wuhuan. King Tadun of Wuhuan and Shanyu Louban thought that Yuan Shang had taken back his hometown, so they attacked the border several times and robbed [-] households of Youzhou people.A month ago, Ta Dun led three counties Wuhuan to send troops to Luping to attack Xianyufu, Xianyufu was invincible, so he could only sit and watch the Wuhuan people plunder Youzhou.

Cao Cao was furious, what a Wuhuan, he dared to be so arrogant, he had to defeat Wuhuan and behead Er Yuan if he wanted the stability of the north.Before convening his subordinates to discuss, he took Cai Yan to visit Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was bedridden at this time.Seeing Cai Yan, Zhang Xiu's face glowed red: "I am worthy of Zhou Weiguo!" After saying that, he passed away forever.

Cao Cao ordered Zhang Xiu to be buried thickly, posthumously named Marquis Ding, and his son Zhang Quan succeeded him.Cao Cao was worried about how to arrange Cai Yan, should he give it to Zhou Cang?Cheng Yu advised Cao Cao to send Cai Yan to Zhou Cang, and at the same time asked Zhou Cang to send troops from western Liaoning to attack Wuhuan. Cao Cao thought it was reasonable and sent Xinpi to send Cai Yan to Xuzhou.

Wuhuan is located in the narrow strip northeast of Youbeiping, the terrain is dangerous, and there are many Hu people who are good at riding and shooting.Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were originally stationed in Yuyang, but the people of Yuyang were almost wiped out by the Wuhuan people, so they also came to Liucheng, the seat of Wuhuan.

Cao Cao summoned his men to discuss how to send troops. "I have sent Simpi to Xuzhou to order Zhou Weiguo to send troops from western Liaoning. How should our army advance?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Guo Jia coughed loudly, waved his hands to indicate something was wrong, and managed to stop the coughing. "My lord is wrong."

"What's wrong with Feng Xiao?" Cao Cao noticed that Guo Jia's cheeks were flushed, and he coughed more than usual.

"A little illness, don't bother me. My lord wants Zhou Weiguo to send troops. I'm afraid it's wishful thinking. Zhou Cang is currently using troops against Goguryeo and Dongyi, fighting on two fronts. I can't take care of myself. How can I send troops to Wuhuan? Even if I have soldiers, how can I come?" Grain supplies?" Guo Jia coughed violently again.

Cao Cao squinted at Cheng Yu, but said nothing.Cheng Yu had been thinking about killing two birds with one stone, but after hearing Guo Jia's words, he realized that he had come up with a bad idea, and even handed over a good card to Zhou Cang, feeling terrified.

No one thinks about it, and no one thinks that Zhou Cang sent troops to Goguryeo and Dongyi to avoid fighting Wuhuan. If Zhou Cang had such a foresight, wouldn't he become a god-man.Without Zhou Cang's help, Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan was even more difficult.

"Then what's Feng Xiao's idea?"
