Chapter 371: The Rise and Fall of the Tuoba Dynasty
Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, it was the participation of the Tuoba clan, but it was not mixed with the candidates, only mixed with the errand of guarding the fire." After all, compared with the various candidate states in the Central Plains, the Tuoba tribe at that time was still too weak, and they didn't even mix up with a vassal. ”
"Later, during the Warring States Period in your Central Plains, the Tuoba tribe on the grassland was only a member of the Donghu Alliance in the east, when the Xiongnu rose, they defeated Donghu, and the Tuoba clan fled eastward and entered the Great Xianbei Mountain, and since then they have submitted to the Huns, the overlord of the grassland, and regularly paid tribute to cattle and sheep, war horses and women."
"Oh, by the way, after Li Ling, the Han general of your Han Dynasty, surrendered to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Shan Yu also married him a woman from the Tuoba clan as a wife, which is about the tribute of the Tuoba tribe."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "I have also heard this, fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty counterattacked the Huns, and the hundred-year Han-Hun War finally defeated the Huns, otherwise how could there be the rise of Xianbei?" ”
Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, but when the Later Han Wudan was in the melee, the Tuoba tribe was still hiding in the deep mountains and old forests of the Great Xianbei Mountain, at this time, the Donghu tribe that was scattered gradually came out of the forests of the white mountains and black waters, and there was a powerful tribal leader, named Tanshi Huai, who unified all the tribes of the grassland, and he used the name Xianbei as the general name of his own ethnic group, in order to show the difference from the Xiongnu. ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "This Xianbei is the name of our Han people, Xianbei, widow, low, low, which means that the number of Xianbei people is scarce, and the race is low, which is not a good name." ”
Murong Nan sneered: "You Han people in the Central Plains just regard yourself as the pride of the sky, the Quartet is a barbarian, and even naming them is all kinds of contemptuous names, what Xianbei, Xiongnu is not a good word." Forget it, don't mention this. Tanshi Huai is a generation of male masters, the Eastern Han Dynasty army was defeated one after another, and for a time the shock was outside, and the grassland tribes that did not move west with the Xiongnu headquarters all called themselves Xianbei. Even Yuwenbu, who was once a descendant of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, also changed his name to be a Xianbei person. ”
Liu Yu softly "oh": "The Yuwen tribe turned out to be a Xiongnu nobleman? ”
Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, they are the descendants of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu and Nandan Yu, so they were given the title of Lord of the East during the Tanshihuai period and ruled Liaodong, and at that time, our Murong tribe was also a small tribe under them, and it did not become a climate, as for the Tuoba tribe, it was about this period that left the Great Xianbei Mountain, went to the grassland of Hulunbuir, and became a nomadic tribe again." ”
"In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yuwen tribe produced a powerful leader named Yuwen Mona, who moved to the western Liaoxi area with twelve subordinate tribes from the Yinshan region, and his subordinates persuaded him to be called the King of Heaven, and he was also the highest leader of our Hu people, and he was worried that he would send troops to the Han people to fight, so he only used the Tianwang in the Xianbei language, transliterated as Yuwen, which is the source of the Yuwen tribe."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It seems that this Yuwen and your Murong tribe are close to each other and named Murong with the sound of the stepping crown, and they also have the same effect." ”
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Yes, because after the death of Tanshi Huai, the grassland is once again ownerless, although all tribes call themselves Xianbei people, but there is no unified core tribe that can command everyone." The Yuwen Department and our Murong family started in Liaodi, and the Tuoba Department went out of the Great Xianbei Mountain, and their leader Tuoba Mao began, after more than ten generations, and finally formed a climate in Mobei and became the overlord of Saiwai. ”
"Our Murong family has experienced many years of struggle, defeated the Yuwen clan, unified Liaodong, and the Tuoba clan took advantage of the Eight Kings Rebellion, Liu Kun, the last loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, to guard Jinyang, and invited Xianbei soldiers and horses to help defend many times, they took the opportunity to expand their power from Mobei to Monan, and became a local power of thousands of miles, controlling hundreds of thousands of foreign powers, and they also founded the country as a generation, which is considered a force in the world."
"But the Tuoba clan has never waited for a good opportunity to enter the Central Plains like our Murong family, on the contrary, they are fighting for power and profit, and vendettas are constantly killing. For example, the former acting lord Tuoba Shi Yijian was assassinated by his own general, Changsun Jin, and his son Tuoba Yanjun, and the country also fell into division and strife, which would allow the Qin State to take the opportunity to send troops to eliminate it. ”
Liu Yuqi said: "It is understandable to say that the general assassinated the monarch and wanted to usurp the throne, but what happened to this son who killed his father?" ”
Murong Nan Zhengse said: "That Tuoba Yanjun is the eldest son of Shu and has no power to inherit the country, but he is brave and has made many military exploits, so he is unhappy, and it was his cousin Tuoba Jin who instigated him to rebel and kill his father." ”
"At that time, Tuoba Shiyi fitness was the prince of the country, the eldest son, but because the country was weak and the Shizhao Empire in the Central Plains was strong, he went to Zhao as a hostage, his father, the former monarch died violently, and the ministers in the country elected his younger brother Tuoba Gu as the monarch, and Tuoba Gu welcomed Tuoba Shiyi Jian back from Zhao and gave the monarch to his brother, so Tuoba Shiyijian was very moved, and vowed in public that he would give half of the country to Tuoba Gu's son in the future."
"Decades have passed, and Tuoba Gu has been dead for many years, but Tuoba Shi Yijian did not return half of the land to his son Tuoba Jin as promised back then, so this person was resentful, and deliberately approached Tuoba Yanjun, who was also resentful, and instigated him to rebel."
"Tuoba Yanjun was born to Tuoba Shi Yijian when he was a hostage in Zhao and Zhao Guo's maidservant, his status was low, but he was the eldest son, and later after Tuoba Shi Yijian came back from Zhao State, my Murong clan was strong and entered the Central Plains, Tuoba Shi Yijian turned to me Dayan and proposed to me, married the princess of the Murong clan as his wife, and gave birth to several sons. Tuoba Jin then instigated, saying that Tuoba Shi Yijian was ready to get rid of Tuoba Yanjun in order to let Princess Murong's son ascend the throne smoothly, and this Tuoba Yanjun had just been defeated when he faced the Qin army, and he was afraid of being held accountable, so he simply killed his father and brother. ”
Since then, the civil strife of this generation, all tribes are no longer willing to obey Tuoba Yanjun, the murderer of his father, and have rebelled against Qin. The Qin army took Liu Weichen, the leader of the Hun Tiefu tribe who was defeated by the Tuoba clan as the leader, attacked the dynasty with a large army, destroyed it in one fell swoop, captured Tuoba Yanjun and Tuoba Jin, and sent Chang'an Che to be executed, in order to warn the world that the murderer who killed the king and killed his father would end. ”
Liu Yu laughed and breathed a sigh of relief: "What a wonderful story, Tuoba Yanjun really deserves it, but it's a pity that more than ten generations of people on behalf of the country, hundreds of years of struggle, have been ruined by this idiot." By the way, your Murong family united with the Yao clan and the Qiang clan, didn't you think about going over to find the descendants of the Tuoba clan to restore the country together? ”
