Chapter Eighty-Seven: The End of a Hero
Speaking of the Wei soldiers, the Qiang soldiers at this time no longer had the courage to fight them, and officially speaking, this was the second time they had been defeated by the Wei army.
From August to September 211 AD, Cao Cao, who was unfavorable in the first battle, defeated Ma Chao, who had already threatened Longxi at that time, at Weihe, and it was in this battle that Ma Chao lost the Xiliang base and went south to Zhang Lu, while the Qiang brothers who followed them were left in Longxi and other places.
In the past, Ma Chao swept through Longxi, and personally stepped forward to confront the enemy generals in every battle, and after dozens of battles, he did not taste a defeat, so he made the Deyi people worship from the heart and respect him as the general of Shenweitian.
So at that time, they were 100% supportive of Ma Chao's eastward expedition to Cao Cao to avenge their father, and Ma Chao did not disappoint them in the early stage, defeated Cao Hong in Tongguan, approached Luoyang, and even killed Cao Cao who came to the aid to cut his beard and break his robe, but unfortunately, Ma Chao and other Xiliang people, although Wu was strong and lacked strategy, Cao Cao's treacherous plan in the Wei River, made a big defeat, fled in panic, and even lost his old nest Xiliang, so he was forced to go south to Zhang Lu and send people under the fence.
Even Ma Chao was defeated, and for the Wei army, which was imposing at that time, the Yi soldiers had no trace of fighting will, so they had to surrender and ask for a place to live. And this time, following Kebineng, he was defeated again, not only his strength was greatly damaged, but even his courage had been exhausted.
What's more, the Wei army I see now is the Yongliang Iron Cavalry, familiar with the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao's retreat to the north, and set up three barriers in the east, middle and west, which were guarded by Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan respectively, so as to win valuable time for the defeated Cao Cao to recover his strength.
And now that the three of them have gone, the Yongliang army with Cao Zhen and Zhang He in charge has become the most courageous force in Wei for a while.
Seeing everything in front of him, Bu Shi became more awe-inspired, and his head lowered a little, not daring to compare with Wei Jun.
"Kebi can I hear that you have taken it down, I don't know where I am now?" Cao Zhen sat on the top and did not speak, Guo Huai stood on the side and asked loudly.
His body trembled for a while, and he said resignedly: "Big... Kobineng is right next door! ”
"Let's go, go and see this king who dominates Xianbei!" Cao Zhen spoke, and everyone came to the camp where Kebineng was located, under the guidance of almsgiving.
Not caring about the guards' worries, Cao Zhen swaggered open the curtain and walked in.
After all, the identity is there, this big battalion is the size of four or five small camps, and the utensils in the tent are also available, looking around, Cao Zhen was also slightly surprised, Xianbei did usher in a spring under the leadership of Kebineng, and his own strength has also improved a lot, not only military, but also economically not weak.
Everyone then found Ke Bineng nested on one side, and next to him lay a corpse, his clothes and hair had been neatly tidied up, and he could see at a glance that he was He Hun, one of the four major generals of Xianbei.
Although he felt that someone was coming, Kebineng became extremely calm at this time, he regretted it before, regretted why he was greedy, why did he go deep into the Wei realm to take advantage of Shu Kingdom, but now it is good, he didn't take advantage of it, and he ended up dying in a foreign land.
Regret at the beginning, now a few days have passed, in a desperate situation, Kebi can also see a lot, during this time, he has thought a lot, when he was young, he sent people under the fence, Taoguang raised obscurity, middle-aged ambition, swept the grassland, unified Xianbei, and the Huns competed for the Xiongnu for a while, and often went south to harass the Great Wei, even if everything was prosperous, in the end it was vain.
"Lord Xianbei, we meet again!" Cao Zhen looked at the figure in front of him, who had long lost his fighting spirit, became lonely for a while, and aged a lot, and finally had a trace of comfort in his heart.
Although he did not take Yangping and did not realize the great cause of exterminating Shu, it was his biggest regret, but fortunately, this time he completely solved one of the two major enemies of the northern grasslands of Great Wei, the Xianbei tribe.
After the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's suggestion, cutting the grass must be eradicated, in order to prevent Yuan Shang from making a comeback with the help of the power of Wuhuan, so he wantonly reorganized the army, temporarily gave up the deployment of the Central Plains, led the army by the famous general Zhang Liao to attack Wuhuan in the north, the two sides fought a decisive battle in the White Wolf Mountain, and finally Shan Yu Tatun was beheaded, Wuhuan was defeated, Cao's army captured more than 200,000 mouths, Daijun Pufulu, Shangjun Nalou surrendered, and Wuhuan was pacified.
Now if Xianbei is redetermined, the burden on the north of the Great Wei is undoubtedly reduced a lot, and now Cao Pi is newly established, and the new policy is promoted, which has made the court unstable, the north is often harassed, and the south needs to keep an eye on Shu Wei, and the internal and external troubles can be described as accurate.
"The winner is the king, the loser is Kou, the greed of a certain time, it ends up like this, no wonder who is, it's a pity to be ashamed of everyone, and the ancestors of Xianbei!" Kebi could close his eyes and say sadly.
"My lord fought and unified the Xianbei tribes, and I also admired it, but my lord should not offend my Great Wei! My Da Wei is by no means something that can be bullied at will. Cao Zhen looked at Kebineng's eyes and couldn't help but be a little sharper.
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Fate!" After that, Kebineng looked at He Hun lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "In this life, I am sorry for you, and I hope that I will have a chance to repay you in the next life!" ”
Behind him, Cao Zhen took the long knife from the soldier's hand, and the blue Xuan Qi overflowed from his hand, sticking to the blade, forming a thin film like light yarn, making the simple and heavy long knife a little gorgeous at this time.
didn't care about these vain things, Cao Zhen held the knife in his right hand, from top to bottom, and the knife slid down, and Kebineng's body then slowly fell, but there was not the slightest trace of blood on the knife.
In October 223 AD, the outstanding leader of the Xianbei tribe, a generation of male lord Kebineng was defeated and executed in the suburbs of Huaili, defeated the Eastern Xianbei Budugen, and completed the great cause of Xianbei unification, Kebineng failed to become the dominant Monan as in history, and died twelve years earlier than history, but also changed the outcome of his assassination by Han Long, the assassin sent by the king of Youzhou.
Compared with the previous trivial matters, there is finally a major event that deviates from the historical track at this moment, Kebi can die, his brother is the king, but his brother does not have the talent of his brother, Xianbei will become scattered without accident, invade each other, the strong are far away, the weak please obey, and the Cao Wei border has also stabilized a lot early.
Since Liu Chan crossed over, the butterfly effect brought by it first appeared in the land of Yongliang, and this effect will spread with the wind, not only in Yongliang, but also in the entire Central Plains.
With Kebi can die, Cao Zhen's task is also completed, after Zhang He converged, he immediately returned to Luoyang to resume his life, the reason why he was anxious, only because Cao Zhen had resentment in his heart, he was fighting on the front line, someone actually made a stumbling block behind his back, dismantling his platform, which he could not tolerate, he went back this time, he must give the other party some color, otherwise if it goes on like this, it will not be good to play him to death one day.
The Qiang army was also repatriated to Longxi and other places after expressing its surrender, and assisted the Great Wei in managing the security of Longxi and other places.
