Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 641 Xianbei past events (3)

Not long after Boba left, he brought back three people, one in his 60s and the other two in their 50s.Alas, this is considered an old man. It seems that people on the grassland don't live long.The three of them were very talkative, and they didn't hide their pride at all when they spoke.

The Tuoba family was originally the most northeast branch of Xianbei, living in the northern section of the Ergun River and the Daxingan Mountains, also known as the Biebu Xianbei.In the north of the secluded capital, in the vast wilderness, livestock migration, shooting and hunting as a profession.At that time, the chief was called Maoshi, and it is said that it will be 400 years ago.About 200 years ago, the northern Xiongnu moved westward, and the southern Xiongnu protected the fortress. Tuoba Xianbei moved southward for the first time under the leadership of the adult Tuiyin, to Daze.When it comes to Tui Yin, the eyes of the three people are full of admiration, respect and passion.It seems that in the hearts of the Tuoba people, Tui Yin is their great hero.

After the sixth generation of Tuiyin, it was passed down to the neighboring period, and the neighboring period divided the brothers into their own clans, namely, the Hegu clan, the Pu clan, the Baba clan, the Daxi clan, the Yilou clan, the Qiu Dun clan, and the Tuhai clan. Together with himself, he formed the "Eight Kingdoms of Xianbei", plus his two uncles' Yizhan clan and Shukun clan, forming the ten surnames of the imperial family and forming the aristocratic group of the Tuoba tribe.Due to the desolation near Hulun Lake, it was not enough to build a capital city, and with the development of Tuoba society, the tribal leaders inevitably expanded southward in order to plunder wealth and expand their power, and then began to move southward for the second time.Due to old age and frailty, Neighbor died on the way to move south, leaving his seat to his son Jiefen.Jiefen obeyed his orders and led his people to move southward, and after going through many obstacles, they finally arrived at the hometown of the Xiongnu, that is, the Guyangyin Mountain area.It is a good place for herding and hunting, with abundant water and grass and luxuriant trees, and it is close to the culture of the Central Plains.At this time, when Emperors Hanhuan and Ling were two emperors, it was also the period when the Tanshihuai tribal alliance was strong. Because of the strength of Tanshihuai, the Huns did not dare to fight back, so the Tuoba tribe could only attach themselves to Tanshihuai.Speaking of this, the eyes of the three herdsmen not only mourned for their neighbors, but also showed resentment.

After entering the homeland of the Xiongnu and merging with the Huns who stayed in the old place, they officially got the title of the Tuoba family and began to marry with the Murong family.After the Xiongnu tribe joined the Tuoba Xianbei Alliance, they lived together and intermarried with each other, and gradually became Xianbei. In addition to the eight kingdoms and ten surnames, the Tuoba tribe also had 75 tribes with different surnames. Qiulin's, Po Liuhan's, Su Liujin's and so on.

After Jiefen's death, Tuoba Liwei's succession showed his literary talent and strategy, and he showed superhuman talents in political, diplomatic, and military skills. overlord.Speaking of this, the three herdsmen raised their chests high and their faces were full of pride.

Ignoring the deviations in Boba’s translation process, Qu’a and Duanmuling have been able to analyze and summarize the following points from the conversations with the three herdsmen:
First, the Tuoba people are very united and have a strong cohesion. The heroes in their hearts are Tuoba Tuiyin who led the tribe to the south, and Tuoba Liwei who became the overlord.Tuoba Liwei is more popular than his younger brother Tuoba Pigu, and his ability to see and command troops is far better than Tuoba Pigu.

Second, the Tuoba tribe longed for the culture and prosperity of the Han people, that is to say, they had no interest in Budugen or the unification of the Xianbei tribes.It has been several generations since I left the ancestral land, but I don't have much sense of belonging to the ancestral land.

The situation is not good, the two of them frowned at the same time.

"May I ask you, Cao Cao imprisoned the Xiongnu in Huchuquan alone, and its various ministries were led by Liu Bao, the wise king of Zuo. Since your ministry has merged them, where is Liu Bao?" Duanmu Ling asked.

A herdsman laughed and said, "I really know that. I also joined the army back then. Lord Liwei took over the tribes of the Huns, Liu Bao was invincible, and the south was defeated by Cao Zhang, so he surrendered to Cao Zhang and brought his tribe into the army. Bingzhou was settled in Pingcheng by Yanmen prefect Guo Yu, while the rest of the ministries stayed outside Yanmen County."

Another piece of bad news, that is to say, Cao Zhang still has a Hun soldier at his disposal, Qu'a frowned even tighter.It is not easy to borrow from the Tuoba tribe, and it is even more difficult to fight and merge the state.It's not that there is no way to kill two birds with one stone, as long as the Tuoba clan is promised to cede Yanmen to him, the Tuoba clan will not only give excuses, but may even send troops to help deal with the Huns.Qu A didn't even dare to think about this idea, if he did this, he would be beheaded by Zhou Cang!
Besides this, what else can impress Tuoba Department?Duanmuling suddenly thought of something: "Old man, just now I said that I also marched, but I don't know if I have had any contact with that Huang Xuer?"

The old man looked a little gloomy, as if the past was unbearable. "It's more than just some contacts. In that battle, only five of the hundreds of people in my department came back alive. It's a fluke!"

Qu'a and Duanmuling looked at each other and nodded slightly, overestimating Tuoba.With Cao Zhang's strength, the Tuoba tribe will suffer a lot, which shows that the Tuoba tribe's combat effectiveness is not very strong.The decline of the Xiongnu and Qianghu made Xianbei. In another three to fifty years, Xianbei may become stronger, but it is not so strong now.But Cao Cao once again defeated the Xiongnu and Qiang Hu, so that there were no tigers and monkeys to dominate the mountains! More than 50 years ago, Zhou Cang and Gongsun Zan defeated Xianbei hundreds of riders with 30 riders, making Xianbei people dare not go south for 20 years, which is enough to show that Xianbei people are backward. Even if they develop after 30 years, they will not be different people!
The two saw the light of hope slightly. Since the Tuoba tribe is not that strong, then Tuoba Liwei will not easily conflict with the Han people, which means that the current army is safe.The most urgent thing for Tuoba Liwei should be to become stronger. To become stronger, one needs people, the second needs land, and the third needs money. If there is food, more people will be recruited, and the requirements for land will not be so urgent.

With this in mind, Qu'e and Duanmuling had a little bit of a bottom line, as long as they have something to ask, they can make a fuss.Duanmuling took out three silver coins from his bag and held them in front of the three herdsmen: "Thank you, old man, for explaining it to me. This amount of money should be regarded as a thank you gift."

The three herdsmen had never seen silver coins before. Seeing such exquisitely made silver, they knew how valuable it was, so they hurriedly waved their hands and said, "We are just chatting, and the general treats us with wine and meat. How can we charge more money?"

"Then I'll buy three sheep from the three of you, and it will be done." The folk customs are simple, and it seems that Tuoba Liwei is not a greedy person, and Duanmu Ling is a little messy.

The three herdsmen looked at each other and said in unison: "Then thank you, General!"

Three sheep are not enough to feed thousands of people. The three herdsmen and their tribe sent a total of fifty sheep. After receiving fifty silver coins, they left with smiles on their faces.A hundred people are divided into one sheep, and one person can only eat two bites. This is indeed the best meal since the expedition.
