And the two Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo in Chencang City sat down together and discussed after learning that the rebels of the kingdom were not attacking the city, but were practicing day and night, and at the same time strengthening the defense against the army in Chencang from attacking out of the city.

"Why is this the kingdom, but it is not in a hurry to achieve Chen Cang under the superiority of troops?" Dong Zhuo said to Huangfu Song.

"I'm also thinking about this, it's obviously unrealistic to want to besiege Chencang, our army's grain and grass energy is constantly being transported from the land of Sanfu, why don't you attack Chencang?" Huangfu Song seemed to answer Dong Zhuo, and said to himself!

"Could it be that the Chinese New Year is about to come and the kingdom will have a temporary truce? Attack after a year? Dong Zhuo thought for a while, and found another reason to cry and laugh.

"Report, there is an army of about 30,000 cavalry in the kingdom army and left for Zhangye County." At this moment, the scout reported on the sidelines.

"I see, I see, it must be the capital of the Western Regions to protect Liu Bei Liu and Liu Xuande to send troops to the Western Regions, so the kingdom has no choice but to divide troops against Liu Bei!" Huangfu Song listened to the scout's advice and suddenly realized.

"It should be, that's so good, I'll lead the whole army to attack the kingdom camp, so that we can win the battle!" Dong Zhuo suggested.

"No, our army does not have an advantage in strength, and at the same time, the kingdom is ready for battle, if we fight a decisive battle, our army will be defeated! At this time, our army should be strictly guarded and wait for the results of the battle at Liu Bei. ”

In order to adopt Dong Zhuo's suggestion, in just half a month, Huang Fusong rejected Dong Zhuo's two suggestions in a row, and Dong Zhuo has held a grudge against Huangfu Song since then.

Zhang Liao and Qin Liang led an army of 10,000 and brought Xihai County under Liu Bei in only five days.

After that, Liu Bei was anxious about Zhang Zhao and Jia Xu, but he discussed how to govern and guard against Xihai County.

"My lord, Xihai County has been under the rule of the lord, Xihai County should follow the example of the four counties of Wusun, establish a city to prevent Xianbei invasion, and at the same time appoint officials to govern Xihai County as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhang Zhao learned that Qin Liang and Zhang Liao had taken Xihai County, he eagerly suggested!

"Not only that, my lord, should send an envoy to Xianbei to open a border market with Xihai County and trade with Xianbei. So as to achieve the goal of Xianbei not to invade Xihai County. Jia Xu also suggested.

"Well, yes, I only need a few years, and when it is relieved, I will not hesitate to fight with Xianbei, who is the Xianbei tribe in the north of Xihai County at this time?" Liu Bei opened his mouth and said.

"When it is the root of the step." Jia Xu replied when he heard this.

"So, send an envoy to the root of Budu, but who can be the messenger?" Liu Bei asked again!

"Lord, Zhang Hong, who came with Zhao this time, can be the messenger." Zhang Zhao suggested.

In this way, Liu Bei sent Zhang Hong to envoy Xianbei Budu Root.

At this time, Wuhuan had already been incorporated into the Han Dynasty, but Xianbei was still there, and Xianbei was still divided into three parts: eastern, central and western, the western Xianbei was the root of Budu, the central Xianbei was Kirbyneng, and the eastern Xianbei was dominated by many tribes of Fuluohan.

The Xianbei people are an ancient nomadic people who rose in the Mongolian Plateau after the Xiongnu, belonging to the Mongolian language group of the Altaic language family, and arose in the Great Khing'an Mountains. It is the nomadic people who had the greatest influence on China during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, originated from the Donghu people and distributed in northern China.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan Yu and was divided into two parts. Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain were surrendered respectively, and the name of the mountain was used as the clan name, forming the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, which were enslaved by the Xiongnu. Therefore, the customs and habits of the Xianbei people are similar to those of Wuhuan and Xiongnu.

In 45 AD, Xianbei followed the Xiongnu to invade the border, and Xianbei was known to the Central Plains Dynasty as a national entity.

After the division of the Xiongnu, the Xianbei gradually got rid of their control. In 85 and 87 AD, Xianbei attacked the Xiongnu twice and resisted oppression.

In 91 AD, the Northern Xiongnu, who were attacked by the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu, were forced to move to Central Asia, and the Xianbei people took the opportunity to occupy the Mongolian steppe.

In the middle of the second century, Tanshi Huai led the troops to unify the Xianbei tribes, and after the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei fell into division.

In the early third century, Kebi was able to reunite the eastern and central Xianbei, but after the death of Kebineng, the tribes began to develop independently. During this period, Xianbei fought with the Central Dynasty from time to time.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Xianbei tribes took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to establish countries one after another.

In 385 AD, the Tuoba tribe established the Northern Wei Dynasty and unified the north in 439 AD.

In 439 AD, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang and Sinicized it on a large scale.

In 534 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into the Eastern Wei and Western Wei.

In 557 AD, the Northern Zhou Dynasty replaced the Western Wei Dynasty. The Xianbei people established a total of ten states.

In addition, in Qinghai and Gansu, there was also the Tuyuhun regime partially transformed by Xianbei Murong, which was not annexed by Tubo until 663 AD.

After the establishment of political power by the Xianbei people, most of the tribes disintegrated, and the people mostly turned to settled agricultural production, and with the deepening of the feudalization process, the integration with various ethnic groups accelerated.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, Xianbei integrated into other ethnic groups as an ethnic entity and a political entity, and gradually died out.

In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, after Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu, Xianbei retired to protect Xianbei Mountain, and the world was enslaved by the Xiongnu.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he defeated the Xiongnu and moved Wuhuan to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong five counties, and Xianbei also began to go south to the Raoleshui (that is, the Xilamulun River in later generations) basin of Wuhuan's hometown.

Previously, Xianbei had not been in contact with the Central Plains Dynasty because it was in the north of Wuhuan.

It was not until the 21st year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (45 AD) that Xianbei followed the Xiongnu to invade the Han territory, and Xianbei began to be known by the Central Plains Dynasty and officially appeared on the stage of history.

In 49 A.D., the Xianbei leader was attached to the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 54 A.D., the Xianbei leader Mantou and Yu Qiu Ben led his troops to Luoyang to congratulate, and was named a prince by the Eastern Han Dynasty, governing the Xianbei and Wuhuan departments.

With the division of the Xiongnu, Xianbei gradually got rid of the control of the Xiongnu. In 85 AD, Xianbei united with Wuhuan, Ding Ling, the Southern Xiongnu and the countries of the Western Regions to defeat the Northern Xiongnu, and the Northern Xiongnu were weak.

In 91 AD, the Eastern Han government united with the Southern Xiongnu to defeat the Northern Xiongnu, and the Northern Xiongnu were forced to move to Central Asia.

During the time of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tanshi Huai unified the Xianbei divisions, and the land was divided into three: the east of the right Beiping was the east, the right Beiping to the upper valley was the middle, and the west of the upper valley was the west. The three departments are managed by adults, and they are directly under the sandalwood acacia.

The important strategic materials on which the nomads rely are "water grass" and "harvest" and "salt land", and after becoming a Xianbei adult, Tanshi Huai began to carry out a series of rectification measures: "Nai Liting is on the water of Danhan Mountain, and goes to the north of Gaoliu for more than 300 miles, the soldiers and horses are very prosperous, and the adults in the east and west are all returning."

Later, under his command, "because of the south copying the edge, the north rejects Ding Ling, the east is more than Fufu, the west is Wusun, according to the Xiongnu hometown, more than 14,000 miles from east to west, more than 7,000 miles from north to south, Luoshan River and water Ze salt pond."

"There are many days of planting, the field animals are not enough to shoot and hunt for food, the sandalwood is self-restrained, see Wuhou Qin Shui Guang from hundreds of miles, the water does not stay, there are fish in it, can not get it.

Wenlou people are good at Pu, so they hit the Junren country in the east, get more than 1,000 families, relocate to Qinshui, and order fishing to rib grain. After reunification, Xianbei invaded the Eastern Han border for many years.

In 177 AD, Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty ordered Xia Yu, the captain of Wuhuan, Tian Yan, the general of the Xianbei Zhonglang, and Zang Min, the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, each led more than 10,000 cavalry. They were from Gaoliu (that is, Yanggao, Shanxi in later generations), Yunzhong County (northeast of Inner Mongolia Tuoketuo in later generations), and Yanmen County (northwest of Xidai County in later generations), and attacked Xianbei in three ways.

The Han army went out of the fortress for more than 2,000 miles, and the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai ordered the eastern, central, and western three adults to lead the crowd to meet the battle, and defeated the Han army.

It was in this battle that Liu Bei found Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Gao Shun and Cheng Lian.

After the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei was divided, Xianbei in the west rebelled, and Mo Nan was split into three groups from the east of Yunzhong:

The first is the Budugen Group, with tens of thousands of people, according to the Yunzhong and Yanmen areas;

the second is the Kebineng Group, which is distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places;

Third, a number of groups under the leadership of the original alliance "Eastern Lords" were scattered outside Liaoxi, Youbeiping and Yuyangsai. Among them, the Kebineng Group is the strongest,

Kebineng was determined to unify Xianbei, so he expressed his deference to Cao Wei, who had just been established.

In 220 A.D., Kebi was able to offer horses to Emperor Cao Pi of Wei;

In 221 A.D., Kebi was able to return more than 500 Han families who stayed in Xianbei to return to Han; In 222 A.D., he led more than 3,000 horsemen, drove more than 7,000 cattle and horses to "exchange markets" with Wei, and then sent more than 1,000 families of Han people to return to Shanggu and other places.

After maintaining good relations with Cao Wei, Kebineng began to annex other tribes.

In 228 A.D., Kebineng annexed the Xianbei tribes in the east. In 233 A.D., Kebineng annexed the root of Budu, unified Monan, and posed a threat to the Cao Wei border.

In 231 AD, during Zhuge Liang's fourth Northern Expedition, he sent envoys to contact Kebineng, intending to flank Cao Wei back and forth. Kebineng led his troops to Shicheng (Gaolan, Gansu in later generations) and stationed troops on the border.

In order to prevent Xianbei from going south, in 235 A.D., Cao Wei Youzhou Assassin Shi Wang Xiong sent the assassin Han Long to stab Kebineng to death, Xianbei began to "scatter the tribes and conquer each other", and the Xianbei tribes entered a period of independent development.

In the east, Xianbei successively formed the Murong Department, the Yuwen Department, and the Duan Department, occupying western Liaoning;

Under the leadership of Tuoba Liwei, the Tuoba Department moved south for the third time to Yunzhong (that is, the area of Tuoketuo in Inner Mongolia in later generations);

The baldness department was also separated from the Tuoba department and moved from Saibei to Hexi; Before the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, the beggar department had moved into Yongzhou and Liang on a large scale.

And Xianbei is the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, after the Xiongnu, another big hidden danger, but Liu Bei has long known it, but at the moment, Liu Bei is unable to fight with Xianbei, so he can only send an envoy!
