Chapter 419: Badun's True Plan
Kebi can have his considerations, his worries, and his forbearance for the long-term interests and development of the Xianbei clan.
However, compared to Badun, how could he not have his own plans?
Back then, in Tianzhen, he sent his beloved concubine Hongyue to Liu Yi, which made him a laughing stock in the clan and even in the entire grassland outside the Guan, a shame that made him unforgettable. He didn't think about revenge all the time, but as powerful as the Huns were destroyed by Liu Yi, and as strong as Dong Zhuo was also destroyed by Liu Yi, he didn't dare to provoke Liu Yi lightly. Over the years, he not only did not dare to provoke, but also restrained his tribe as much as possible, so that his tribe would not invade the border of the New Han Dynasty as much as possible, so as not to attract the attack of the New Han army.
There is one thing that even Kebineng has not considered. Or, it is the relationship between Kebineng and the New Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, separated by a Wuhuan tribe, and the Xianbei tribe and the Han Dynasty seem to be more distant from each other. However, as the king of the Wuhuan clan, Bun Dun couldn't help but think about it.
What is it? It is the problem of the living space of their Wuhuan people, and the problem of the activity space of their tribe. How so? Comparatively speaking, their Wuhuan people already live in the northernmost part of this world. Of course, there are places further north. But are those places where people can live?
Especially now that the entire Northwest Desert is under the control of the New Han Dynasty. Once they fought with the great armies of the New Han Dynasty. When the New Han army came out to attack him, if he could defeat the New Han army, it would be fine, but. What if you can't defeat it? What if his own Wuhuan army is defeated? When the time comes, where will it go? Estimate. It must have ended up the same as the Huns, right? The Huns could continue to flee westward, but what about his Wuhuan people? You can also go further north. Escape from a place full of ice and snow? Where did you flee and survive?
Therefore, over the years, he has always been extremely honest, as if he is being his king with peace of mind, and he is a king with no ambitions.
Of course, as the king of the Wuhuan clan, he is naturally also a warrior of the Wuhuan clan. How could he be so cowardly? He's actually waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
Because of the shameful incident in Tianzhen. The prestige of the Wuhuan king has been greatly reduced, and since then, he is no longer enough to command the entire Wuhuan tribe. Actually, it's not just because of the incident in Tianzhen. Originally, the Wuhuan tribe was divided into several tribes, and in the clan, there were also East Wuhuan and West Wuhuan and North Wuhuan sayings, and the various tribes did not obey each other and came all the time. It is difficult to achieve the true unity of the Wuhuan tribe.
At that time, he could command a third of the Wuhuan tribe at most. With just this one-third of the Wuhuan tribe, how can he fight against the New Han army? Rather than this, it is better to endure it first. Wait for your chance.
Now, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Now, the tribe is facing another existential crisis. If one is not good, the entire Wuhuan tribe. It is a bit difficult to survive this cold winter. Estimated, when the time comes. The number of people of the entire tribe will be reduced by one-third or even more than one-half. So many cattle and sheep died at one time, and the tribe had no food source, and they could not exchange the cattle and sheep for the necessary materials for the winter with the Han people of the Han Dynasty. In this way, in the cold winter, there are countless clansmen who starve to death and die of cold.
In such a grim situation, the leader of any tribe must worry about the survival of his tribe and find a way. But what can be done?
No matter what they think, food supplies will not fall from the sky for them. In this way, they can only think of robbing from other tribes, from the Han people. The tribes on the prairie will not think about it, because the situation of each tribe is similar, everyone is short of food and supplies, and if they are killed, I am afraid that they will not get much food and clothing. Therefore, if they want to continue to survive, they must rob the Han Chinese.
However, the Han people are no longer the same as in the past, and the strength of the new Han army is no longer something they can provoke. It is impossible for a tribe of them, even if it is a larger one, with more than 10,000 horses, to break through the Great Wall and enter the pass. Then, only by uniting and forming a more powerful army can it be possible to break through the Great Wall in one fell swoop and enter the pass to plunder the supplies of the Han people.
But then the question arises, who can call more tribes together? When it comes time to come together, who do you listen to? Who was the vanguard to break through the Great Wall of the Han Chinese? Everyone is here to survive, no one wants to be the first to die, and everyone wants to be the last to break into the Han people's house to snatch food and materials.
Therefore, at this time, they need someone with a certain prestige to call them on and lead them through this food crisis.
However, the Wuhuan King has fallen to a very low level, and his appeal is useless.
And at this time, the mysterious person, that is, Liu Bei, came. He brought with him a quantity of food supplies.
After listening to Liu Bei's plan, he naturally hit it off, thinking that the time he had been waiting for had come.
This is an opportunity for him to re-establish his prestige among the Wuhuan clan and officially re-unify the entire Wuhuan clan. With the batch of materials sent by Liu Bei, he could use this batch of materials as bait to summon the Wuhuan people to a place to assemble. As long as they come together, then there is a way for them to have to obey their orders.
Sure enough, when he issued an order to the Wuhuan tribesmen, and faintly revealed to the Wuhuan tribes scattered on the grassland that he had food and supplies, soon, many Wuhuan tribes joined together.
Now, about two-thirds of the Wuhuan tribe has gathered at the foot of this Chifeng Mountain. Willing to obey Badun's orders.
However, Liu Bei was not too kind, because Liu Bei also gave some materials to the Xianbei tribe, as well as some Wuhuan tribes who had a bad relationship with him. The Xianbei people obtained some supplies, and those Wuhuan tribes who did not obey his orders, so that they could temporarily alleviate the food crisis. Let the Xianbei tribe and those Wuhuan tribes not have to be restrained by him, so that he cannot completely unify the entire Wuhuan tribe and cannot subdue the Xianbei tribe. For this. Badun's heart was extremely unhappy. Of course, this is unpleasant. He can only keep it in his heart and can't say it openly.
Actually. Liu Bei united with the Xiliang alien race, the Wuhuan alien race, the Xianbei clan, etc., naturally he didn't really want to let these aliens finally enter the Han Dynasty. If this is the case, what benefits can Liu Bei get? Liu Bei's real purpose was just to use the aliens to eliminate the New Han Dynasty. After the New Han Dynasty was destroyed, it was possible for him to dig up from it. One day the New Han Dynasty was still there, Liu Yi was still there, and Liu Bei knew that he would never have a chance to come out again. In this way, in order to destroy the New Han Dynasty. He did not hesitate to betray the Han people and unite with foreign races to invade the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he must not let a certain alien race sit big, so that the Wuhuan people can not only destroy the New Han Dynasty, but also contain the Wuhuan people.
Well, let's not talk about Liu Bei first, let's talk about it. Naturally, he would not know Liu Bei's final plan, his final plan. However, Bunton did not intend to act according to Liu Bei's plan.
Badun's plan. It is necessary to completely unify the Wuhuan tribe and the tribes outside the Guan, including the Xianbei tribe. After that, he will attack the New Han Dynasty depending on the situation.
After all. There are already lessons learned. The Xiongnu were destroyed, and the desert fell into the hands of the New Han Dynasty. Badon didn't think so, just by his horses. You will definitely be able to destroy the New Han Dynasty. For the matter of plundering the Han Dynasty, completely solve the problem of your own tribe surviving this cold winter. Raton doesn't think it's too much of a problem. However, it is so unashamed to say it. Want to destroy the New Han Dynasty? There was no bottom in his heart. Although he is not a Han Chinese, he also knows some Han allusions, such as that if you don't die if you fight a snake, you will suffer from it.
It is easy to loot, but it is difficult to destroy the New Han Dynasty.
How so? Badun can imagine that his Wuhuan army may be able to enter Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and even Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places in the Central Plains. However, can his army enter the state? Can you go from Jizhou Tongguò Tiger Prison to Luoyang? You can think about it, back then, didn't the Huns enter the customs from the state? But what happened in the end? And back then, the heroes of the world crusaded against Dong Zhuo, so many heroes were in the Tiger Prison Pass, if Dong Zhuojun hadn't taken the initiative to retreat, then it would have been really difficult to forcibly capture the Tiger Prison Pass. Not long ago, didn't Cao Cao already seize the Tiger Prison Pass? But so what? In the end, it's not a loss of soldiers? Obediently retreat?
Therefore, Badun thinks that this time, he only relies on his own military horses to completely eliminate the New Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it is really impossible. Don't say too much or anything, even if it's a tough weapon, he can't make it now. How did he attack the pass city of the New Han Dynasty?
Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, he thought that if he wanted to destroy the New Han Dynasty, in addition to his own military horses, he had to enter Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou. It also needs the cooperation of the allies that Liu Bei said, and the allies who can make achievements, so that it is possible to destroy the New Han Dynasty.
In Badun's heart, he believes that first of all, the most important thing is that the allied forces in Xiliang can completely eliminate the New Han Army in Xiliang, and only by eliminating the New Han Army in Xiliang and marching to Chang'an, Guanzhong, it is possible to shake the foundation of the New Han Dynasty. If the allies on the Xiliang side can capture Chang'an, it would be the best. In that case, it will definitely shake the government and opposition of the New Han Dynasty, and when the time comes, the New Han Dynasty will definitely mobilize a large army to guard against the allies in Chang'an, or mobilize a large army to recapture Chang'an, Guanzhong. If the Xiliang Allied Army can't make some achievements, then, Bun Dun thinks, don't expect to destroy the New Han Dynasty at all.
Suppose, the allies on the Xiliang side can do it. Then, as Liu Bei said, the military horses of Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong must also attack Jingzhou, and they must go out of Jingzhou, so that it is possible to attract the New Han army in Jingzhou, Dongting Lake, and even the entire south.
Only in this way can his Wuhuan army kill Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou from the north, and then the main army will kill Luoyang from Bingzhou. At this point, Badun dared to say that he could destroy the New Han Dynasty.
Because, if the New Han Dynasty really folded in Xiliang and lost Guanzhong Chang'an, and let the military horses of Yizhou and Hanzhong highlight Jingzhou. This is tantamount to putting the New Han Dynasty in an embattled situation. Because, another big force, Cao Cao, in the early days, may not immediately tear his face with the newly repaired New Han Dynasty, but when the New Han Dynasty falls into an extremely unfavorable situation, Cao Cao will definitely be happy to fall into the ground, and then wave his army to attack Tiger Pass. If things can develop to this point, will the New Han Dynasty be immortal?
So. Now, when he learned the news of Liaodong Gongsun Du's submission to the New Han Dynasty. He couldn't resist and did not send troops to attack Liaodong. Now, when I heard that the New Han Army actually took the initiative to fight out of the pass. He still had no intention of raising troops immediately and confronting the New Han Army.
Because he still has to wait, waiting for news from Xiliang, Yizhou, and Hanzhong. For a day, before they started and achieved results, he would not raise his troops lightly. Because this is a matter of life and death for his entire clan in the future, he must be careful.
Badun's plan is that once the war on the Western Front is unfavorable, there is no need for him to be big. There was no need to raise a clan to invade the Han Dynasty. lest the New Han Dynasty come back to its senses and bring in a large army to destroy his Wuhuan tribe. Therefore, if the war on the Western Front is unfavorable, he will at most send men and horses to destroy Gongsun Du of Liaodong, plunder the materials in Liaodong, and then depending on the situation, send troops into Youzhou to plunder. Anyway, try not to arouse the anger of the new Han Dynasty as much as possible. When plundering, restrain your military horses and don't go on a killing spree. In this way, even when the New Han Dynasty wants to attack itself. I have something to say myself. Especially now, although the army of his own tribe is gathered at the foot of Chifeng Mountain. But, here. Hundreds of miles away from the border of the Han Dynasty, he did not say that he was going to wave his army to invade the Han Dynasty. For now. But the New Han Army came to attack itself first, so it was normal for him to fight back and take advantage of the situation to plunder Youzhou. Investigated and investigated, the fault is not all on the side of his Wuhuan clan.
Of course, it is said that if you want to have a dialogue with the New Han Dynasty, you must also have relatively equal strength. Therefore, whether the Wuhuan tribe can all obey his orders is the most critical question. It can be said that if his Wuhuan tribe can work together, with his own tribal army, he does have the strength to compete with the New Han Dynasty, and he doesn't need to be too afraid of the New Han Army at all. The New Han Dynasty can't be destroyed, but it's not impossible to break into the pass to plunder it for a long time, and I believe that the New Han Army can't help them.
As it is now, nearly two million of his clansmen are gathered at the foot of this Chifeng Mountain, and there are more than one million tribal soldiers and horses capable of fighting. On the plain under this Chifeng Mountain, it is all their own cavalry, does the New Han Army dare to come and fight with them head-on? Or, in the face of such a large cavalry army, do they dare to say that they want to destroy their own tribe?
Therefore, for Bunton, it is more important than anything else to completely control the entire Wuhuan clan, completely subdue all the Wuhuan tribes, and let the whole clan obey his orders.
Only if the whole clan obeys his orders, so that they have the strength to talk to the New Han Dynasty and Liu Yi on an equal footing, otherwise, Bandun thinks that it is better to return to the New Han Dynasty as soon as possible, and from then on to be a man with his tail between his legs, and don't think about anything to become the overlord of the grassland and become the most powerful nation in the world. Waiting to accept the rule of the new Han Dynasty and become a subsidiary of the Han people, and then, let the clansmen slowly sinicize and fully integrate into the Han people, and after a certain number of years, there will be no Wuhuan people in this world.
In his own heart, he would not accept such a result. Because, he always believes that the reason why a nation exists is because it has its own spiritual heritage, they are nomads on the grassland, with their own way of life, if they all learn the way of life of the Han people to live, completely consume their own national characteristics, then it is equivalent to this nation has disappeared into this long river of history.
Really, Raton is unwilling, and I believe that Kebi will not be willing. What they want more is for their own people to rule over others and for them to learn their own way of life. Let the place where they live become their own pasture for their cattle and sheep.
I have to say that this kind of thinking is the urinary thinking of those aliens on the grassland, which is their so-called national identity. To put it bluntly, it is actually a kind of wolf nature, a kind of aggression.
They are proud of their way of life, thinking that this kind of life is their life and their national pride. They don't think about why they live this way, and whether they live this way is right, whether it is always appropriate? They will only see that the Han people occupy a place with a better environment to live, but they cannot see how the Han people use their hands to create a better living environment.
They can't see the excellence of the Han people, but only the goodness and weakness of the Han people. As soon as they saw an opportunity, they would rush up and bite the Han people.
Now, he is actually a wolf, crouching on the side, looking for an opportunity to bite the Han people.
But will the New Han Army give him such a chance?
Today's New Han Dynasty is no longer the previous Han Dynasty, these aliens, they can't understand Liu Yi's determination to completely eliminate or subdue these aliens.
At this time, not only the Xinhan army outside the pass has come out of the pass, but also Xiliang and Yizhou have already taken action.
And Liu Yi is also preparing to personally lead the army north to participate in the attack on the Wuhuan tribe.
If Bun Dun can know the situation in Xiliang, can he still gather the tribal army here with such peace of mind?
At this time, the situation in Xiliang suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes. (To be continued......)
