Although it is said that "thousands of miles together Chanjuan", the moon in the desert is different from the king's capital.

The desert area is warm during the day and cold at night. The sand layer was still hot from the previous day, and a gust of wind made people feel cold. The yellow sand fluctuated like waves, and the bonfire flickered and flickered.

The sheep was wrapped tightly, first wiped off the sand blown by the wind on his mouth and nose, and then replied to Xin'er's words.

He said: "If you want to talk about the Tiefu Xiongnu in detail, you have to talk about the Southern Xiongnu first. ”

There are so many species of Hu in the Northland that few people can distinguish the origins of their various tribes. Xin Er only knows a little about Tiefu, and is not very clear about their origins, origins, and specific continuations.

The long night was long, just to broaden his knowledge, Xin Er smiled and said, "You speak slowly." ”

Yang Chao said: "In the middle of Qin, the Xiongnu were divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the southern Xiongnu were attached and moved into the northern land, Shuofang (west of Baotou in later generations), Wuyuan, Yanmen and other counties. At the beginning of the Southern Xiongnu, there were only 40,000 or 50,000 people, and after many years, the household registration gradually grew, and then spread to the northern Xinjiang.

"At the end of Qin, there was a great chaos, Xianbei rebelled, and the Southern Xiongnu sent his son Yu Luo to help Qin in Tongqu. Unexpectedly, because some nobles of the Southern Xiongnu were unwilling to help the Qin Dynasty, Tongqu was killed by the right part of the Southern Xiongnu, so Yu Fuluo stayed in Qin.

Later, he set up his own and competed with the old royal court.

"Zhao Yanli's distant ancestor went to Bei, when he was the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu, subordinate to Fuluo."

Speaking of this, Yang Chao inserted another sentence and said, "Yu Fuluo has a son named Zhao Bao, who was later the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu. Before Pu Qin and Wei Wei, Zhao Yuan, who claimed to be the nephew of the Qin Dynasty and usurped the title of emperor, and still took 'Qin' as his country name, was a descendant of Zhao Bao. ”

Xin Er said: "In this way, Zhao Yanli is also a noble breed of Huns. ”

"Not only is it a noble species, but it is also a very expensive species among the Huns."

The Xiongnu people's Zuoxian King and Right Xian King are usually held by Shan Yu's sons, and they are the two highest-ranking Xiongnu princes, and the Left Valley Li King, the Right Valley Li King, and called the "Four Corners". Among them, the status of the Zuo Xian King is higher than that of the Right Xian King, and he is often referred to as the "crown prince".

Xin Er was amused by the words of the sheep, and wanted to tell a joke, Gu Nian went to the fire to sit by the fire several "Zhizhenlang", all of whom are the children of the chiefs of the Beishan Xianbei tribes, although they are different from the Xiongnu race, but it is also true that the Hubu is a "noble race", in order not to cause them to think too much, swallowed the words that came to their mouths, and said: "Zhao Yanli's ancestors are the noble races of the Huns, why is it now called 'Tiefu'?" ”

The implication is that Zhao Yanli, who was originally a noble race of the Huns, how did it develop to the present and become the "mongrel" of Hu's father and Xianbei's mother?

"Qin died and succeeded. In the early years of the Cheng Dynasty, the policy of partition and rule was adopted, leaving the Southern Xiongnu alone in Juye City, and dividing the Southern Xiongnu tribesmen in the border counties into five parts; But soon after, the five Southern Xiongnu were merged into one by Zhao Bao on the left side of the Shitong. Zhao Leopard's power is heavy in the north. ”

The same is to be afraid of those straight and true langs, Yang Chao looked at them twice, and did not elaborate on this problem.

What is the reason why the policy of divide and rule is good, but it has not had the desired effect?

Sheep fashion has his opinion.

He believes that this is because the partition and rule policy of the Cheng Dynasty is only superficial. In other words, the Cheng Dynasty did not make any effort to break the original tribal structure of the Southern Xiongnu tribes, and as a result, although they were left in the interior and the people were divided into five divisions, they soon became one when a new and noble-born leader took the lead, and the five Southern Xiongnu were re-merged into one.

Yang Chao's opinion is related to how the Xia people should rule the Hu people, and he doesn't want the Zhizhen Lang to hear it, because he didn't expand it.

Yang Chao continued: "In order to weaken Zhao Bao, the Cheng Dynasty gave Zhao Meng, the son of Qubei, a prominent name, so that he could command the northern part of the five Southern Xiongnu. The northern part of the Southern Xiongnu originally lived in Xinxing County, and at this time, under the leadership of Zhao Meng, they moved to Daibei, that is, the northeast area of Shuofang County.

"From the early years of the Cheng Dynasty, although the Southern Xiongnu had a false name, but at the same time they accepted the title of the Cheng Dynasty, and other border ministers of the Cheng Dynasty had lost the direct ruling power over the people, and 'from the princes, to the same household'; Zhao Meng was so angry about this that he rebelled."

Zhao Meng's brother is Zhao Yanli's great-grandfather.

The reason for Zhao Meng's rebellion is not as simple as Yang Chao said, not just because of "from the princes and princes, to the same household", his own rights and interests are damaged, but there are deeper political reasons, that is, this is also the voice of the general people of the Southern Xiongnu.

The policies of the Cheng Dynasty and the present dynasty towards the Southern Xiongnu can be summarized into two types.

One, it is a divide and conquer at the top. The other is the oppression and exploitation of the ordinary Southern Xiongnu tribesmen.

Some of the tribesmen of the Southern Xiongnu became the "righteous servants" and "brave soldiers" of the ruling class of the Cheng and Tang dynasties, fighting for the rulers everywhere; Some of them became the "tribesmen", "tenants" and even slaves of the wealthy families of the Xia people, and their daily lives were quite difficult and miserable.

In fact, not only then, but also the Southern Huns, Xianbei, Lushui and other Hu who now live in Longzhou are still being exploited by the Xia people of Dingxi. Didn't the Xianbei righteousness such as Lan Baozhang and other pigs in the Xin Er Army such as Wild Ze Zahu and Bald Boye never come from this way? And the people of Qu Yuanguang, aren't they also being ruled by Kojiqiu, working hard for Dingxi?

Of course, this is not to say that the Xia people are not good to the Hu people.

In exchange for the Xianbei Wei State and the Rong Qin State, their exploitation of the Xia people in their territory was equally cruel.

At a deeper level, is it just the exploitation of aliens? Not really. The rulers of the Xia people also spare no effort to squeeze their own people, and the rulers of the Hu people to their own people.

This is the background and limitations of the times.

All in all, Zhao Meng's rebellion was related to his own interests, and it was also related to the unbearable oppression of the Southern Xiongnu tribesmen.

Yang Chao continued: "Zhao Meng was immediately defeated, and his son defected to the Xianbei Tuoba Division, and his headquarters was led by Zhao Meng's brother Zhao Xun.

"Zhao Xun is Zhao Yanli's great-grandfather. During this period, when Tuoba Xianbei moved south again, they became close neighbors with Zhao Meng and Zhao Xunbu, living in mixed places, and had frequent marriages, so there were many hybrid descendants of Xianbei and Xiongnu, and the title of 'Tiefu' appeared at this time. ”

"In this way, the year of the appearance of the 'Tiefu' is not far away."

"Exactly."

"Tuoba Xianbei and Tiefu Xiongnu, as Qing said, are quite related." Xin Er smiled and asked the bald Bo Ye who had just turned back, "Bo Ye, do you know this?" ”

The bald man did not sit, but stood by the fire.

He was tall, and his clothes were blown by the night wind, and he made a rustling sound, and he saw and heard it like the wind of a jade tree.

Bald Bo Ye replied with a calm smile: "Its name is Tuoba, and I call myself Bald." General, as the last general said before, the Despise Department and the Tuoba Department have long been separated, and they are already two families. ”

Tuoba Xianbei was strong decades ago, once known as the control of millions of strings, in the last years of the Western Tang Dynasty, there was also a "no owner in the Central Plains, I care about the talent" greed, and set himself up as the king, and then due to civil strife, fell into more than ten years of struggle for the throne, in the present vitality has not recovered.

Its subordinates occupy the Dai Di (the main area is between Zhangjiakou, Datong, Hohhot, Baotou in the later generations, north to Erenhot and other places), north of Rouran, west of the Tiefu Xiongnu, south of the Xianbei Murong Wei border, in order to deal with Rouran and Tiefu Xiongnu, they are an ally of the Wei State, this time the Wei State of the Northern Expedition of Rouran, Tuoba Xianbei also sent troops to follow.

In the eyes of the Xia people of Dingxi Kingdom, Tuoba Xianbei and Xianbei Wei, Tiefu Xiongnu and Pu Qin are not much different, they are all enemies.

After listening to the bald Boye's answer, Xin Er knew that he was expressing his loyalty euphemistically, smiled, patted his arm affectionately, pulled him to sit down beside him, did not continue the topic, and asked Yang Xian: "Tiefu Xiongnu and Tuoba Xianbei are related by blood, Zhao Meng was defeated, and his son Shang defected to Tuoba; Shidao, why in modern times, Tiefu and Tuoba have fought each other more? ”

"When I moved to Ding, Tuoba Xianbei was prosperous, Zhao Meng's son Zhao Huchu surrendered, and then thought that the crowd was a little more, but he raised troops to rebel, and joined forces with Baibu Xianbei to attack Shuozhou's Xinxing and Yanmen. Shuozhou Thorn Shi called Tuoba Xianbei to join forces to attack and break it.

"Zhao Hu led the remnants west into Shuofang County. Since then, Zhao Hu, his son Zhao Leopard, and now Zhao Yanli, the son of Zhao Leopard, three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, based on Shuo Fang, first attached to the pseudo-Qin, Pu Qin to build the country, and then attached to Pu Qin, often fighting with Tuoba Xianbei, winning less and losing more. ”

After listening to this history, Xin Er sighed: "No wonder the people of the time commented on the Tiefu Zhao clan and derogated it as 'rebellion and impermanence'!" Gu said with emotion, "Who has no ambition? Zhao Hu's ancestors and grandsons, the noble breed of the Huns, are unwilling to be subordinate, it is understandable, but regardless of the lack of strength, because of their own ambitions, vainly trying for the mandate of heaven, resulting in years of war, affecting the people, and gaining a reputation for cunning, but it is a mouse's eye! ”

In this life, although Xin Er does not believe in the "Mandate of Heaven", he can also follow the customs of the locals and borrow it casually.

Bald Bo Ye and the others all looked approving.

The bald man said with admiration: "The general's comments on the Tiefu Huns are very good. For some reason, he suddenly remembered and Qu Yuanguang, and said in his heart, "Isn't that stupid monkey of Yuanguang like this?" "Those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine are heroes". He has been studying Yin Master for many years, and he has not learned any of the burning words in the Tang classics! ”

Xin Er doesn't know this history, but he doesn't know that in the original time and space, the "Mandate of Heaven" still gave the Tiefu Xiongnu a little, and Helian Bobo, who later established the "Xia" country, was the Tiefu Xiongnu. Compared with the order of inheritance of the Tiefu Xiongnu Department in this time and space, Helian Bobo's father Liu Weichen is roughly equivalent to the current Shuofang occupant Zhao Yanli.

The bald Boye personally led people to set up a tent for Xin Er, and it was late at night, so Xin Er entered the tent to rest.

There were not many tents brought by the soldiers, and most of the soldiers could only sleep in the open air.

Xin Er originally wanted to share weal and woe with the soldiers, but Yang Chao and others resolutely asked him to rest in the tent on the grounds that he was "the main general".

What Yang Chao and others said is reasonable, this long-distance attack is already very dangerous, as the main general, Xin Er has to feel a fever and have a fever again, and he has no spirit to command the battle, then there is no need to fight this battle. Therefore, Xin Er accepted their advice.

That night, as in the previous nights, the bald Boye, Xiang Kui, and Wei Shu three battalions surrounded the main tent of Xin'er, and the three of them took turns to guard until dawn.

Early the next morning, the three armies set out.

I took enough spare water from the spring found by Yuanguang and others, and walked until the afternoon, when the scout in front came to report: It was not far from the warm pool.

Two hundred miles north through Wenchi, it is the first target of this battle, Sanfeng County, the ancient city of Hetao in the Qin period.

The two strategies of the sheep fashion need to be prepared in advance to be put into use.
