Chapter 125 Xianbei dynamics

Xianbei in the west, it was not until September that the tribe found out that it had lost so many towns, and the matter was reported to the tribe lord for a banquet; He was very angry and immediately sent a commander to investigate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The commander first gathered the information, and the phenomenon of losing the Yiluo came from the three affiliated tribes in the south, which were in the border area, bordering the Xiongnu and the Han respectively.

In order to find out the specific reason, the commander led a team of 1,000 people to the tribe where the incident occurred to investigate, and collected evidence in each camp where the accident occurred.

Soon, he discovered a lot of strange things, all the towns disappeared quietly, leaving no traces of large-scale migration, nor traces of large-scale enemy attacks, and all the wealth and population of all the towns were gone, which made him very puzzled.

There were traces of fighting in every town, but the battle was not fierce; What he couldn't understand was that there were twenty towns, why none of them could escape, and if one of them came back to report the news, he would not be so confused.

Since a long time has passed, many traces have been washed away by the rain; The commander led the men to carefully look for possible clues around each camp. The sky paid off, and more and more evidence was collected, and these tribes were attacked and all destroyed.

The evidence points to other tribes of Xianbei or the Huns, not Han Chinese anyway.

Lord Yan Liyou was very annoyed, and asked the commander to expand the scope of the search, to find enough evidence, and at the same time, to order the tribes to reorganize their troops and horses, once he found definite evidence, he would definitely avenge the victimized tribesmen and seek justice for the affiliated tribes.

Since the war was going to be waged, Lord Yan Liyou sent a large number of secret agents to the surrounding forces to collect information from all sides.

Soon, more evidence was found, all the evidence pointed to the Huns, and the news from the scouts showed that the Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang was preparing to launch a bigger war, and Zuo Xian Wang's Zuo General had sent an army to the north and stationed on the south side of the Great Wall, less than 200 miles away from the Xianbei territory.

Being attacked by the degenerate Huns, so that his tribe lost so many people and livestock, Lord Yan Liyou felt that this was a naked slap in the face, a humiliation to the Xianbei tribe, if he couldn't pay back to them fiercely, then he would have no face to continue to serve as Lord Xianbei.

So he ordered all the departments to assemble all those who had the strength to fight, and they must teach the Huns a painful lesson.

Lord Yan Liyou is sad, and Lord Xianbei and Lian are not having a good time.

After the death of the Xianbei king Tan Shihuai in 181, his son Helian succeeded to the throne. The tribe and the army were divided into three nephews to lead, Putou, Fuluohan and Budugen each led 10,000 cavalry, and the company headquarters had 10,000 cavalry.

The Han was attacked again and again when Tanshihuai was in power, and he had no strength to attack, and the Han border was not strictly controlled, and the transactions were frequent, coupled with the occasional plundering of the border counties of the Han Dynasty, and the days were very comfortable.

What made him angry was that a cavalry team of 1,000 men sent out in July to plunder Yanmen County never returned, and did not return until September, and he estimated that things had changed, and they must have been wiped out by the border army of Yanmen County.

Several scouts were sent in a row, and the news he brought back was so varied that he couldn't make up his mind.

At the same time as the disappearance of the thousand-man team, the main trade with the Han was also stopped, and the three small families in Mayi County also disappeared, and they never contacted Helian again, which made him even more worried, and he didn't know what to do.

By October, the Han had finished harvesting the crops, and the herdsmen on the grassland had completed their grazing tasks for a year, and it was time to go south to harvest the grass valley every year.

He Lian summoned Putou and others to discuss the matter of plundering in the south.

Bu Dugen first objected to the south, and suggested: "King, the situation is very grim this year, and Xianbei in the west has long been opposed, and now the team has been assembled, and its movement is unknown, so it is advisable for us to brake quietly." ”

Putou said: "According to the intelligence, the Taishou of Daijun and Shanggu County, as well as the captain of Huwuhuan and the magistrate of Mayi County, come from the same force, they help each other, attack and defense are integrated, and now the western Xianbei and the central Xianbei are all keeping a distance from us, so I suggest that we either go east or west, but we can't go south, otherwise it is easy to be taken by the western Xianbei or the central Xianbei to our royal court; According to the intelligence, the Wuhuan of Shanggu County has recently carried out reforms, reorganized the people, and formed a standing army, which is very incredible for the grassland tribes, they must have received the assistance of the Great Han, and we must deal with it carefully. ”

He Lian said: "The big Han wins the weak, and if you don't loot, how can you explain to the people?" And how to let the people survive the cold winter? ”

Bu Dugen said: "King, the king of Shanggu Wuhuan Nanlou has sent people to negotiate, they can sell grain to us at a low price, one stone of corn per sheep, this is an unprecedented low price." ”

He Lian objected: "Haha, that's not as pleasant as looting." ”

Putou said: "King, it is definitely not the time to go south, otherwise the previous thousand-man team will be a lesson from the past; I suggest that we occupy Yunzhong County first, and then plot Wuyuan County, only to occupy those places with fertile water and grass is the long-term plan of the tribe. ”

Budugen said: "Great King, now that the tribe of Lord Xianbei Yanliyou in the west is gathering troops, I feel that they seem to have action, I suggest that when they move, we will raid their tribe, either absorb their tribesmen, or expel the Yanliyou tribe to a further west." ”

He Lian was originally a person who had no idea, but he also knew that Western Xianbei had long listened to Xuan and disobeyed the tune, and it was only a matter of time before division and turmoil were in turmoil.

So he ordered Bu Dugen to contact Wuhuan Nanlou in Shanggu County to trade a part of the grain so that the people could survive this winter, and at the same time ordered the three of Putou to gather troops and launch an attack on the Xianbei Yanliyou tribe in the west at any time, and divide the tribesmen and livestock of the Yanliyou tribe equally when the time comes.

Soon, it caused a chain reaction, the Xiongnu in Hexi received the information that the Xianbei in the west had gathered troops, and they were afraid that the Xianbei people would take advantage of the Yellow River to freeze and plunder south, and the Xiongnu also began to gather the forces of various tribes in Qiangqu; He also made a report to the Xiongnu Zhonglang General and General Duliao, and King Zuoxian also received an order to assemble troops.

The eastern Xianbei and the central Xianbei also made similar moves to the Huns, all of them were gathering troops, but no one dared to take the lead in attacking, and all of them were waiting for an opportunity.

Although the Wuhuan people are located within the Great Wall, when they learned that the three Xianbei tribes in the west, central and east were all gathering troops, they knew that the annual winter hunting activities were about to begin, but no one knew where the attack targets of the Xianbei people were, so they could only put aside temporary grievances with the Han Taishou and concentrate on dealing with Xianbei; Repelling the attack of the Xianbei people is in the common interests of the Wuhuan people and the Taishou in various places.

The situation at the border is very delicate, and it affects the whole body.
