Why did the Han Emperor send an envoy to Saibei at this time?

The reason is actually very simple, and everyone knows it very well. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe purpose of the Han Emperor was to win over the Southern Xiongnu to Huchuquan.

Speaking of Huchuquan, many people may not be familiar with it.

He was originally the brother of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Yufro. In the second year of Xingping, Yu Fuluo died of illness, and Hu Chuquan succeeded him as the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu. But don't get me wrong, there's no such thing as intrigue. The reason why Hu Chuquan succeeded Shan Yu was because of the customs of the Huns. According to the custom of the Xiongnu, the brother died in the end, and then the son.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun killed his father and uncle and ascended to the position of Shan Yu.

But not all the Huns can be as ruthless and decisive as Mao Dun, and their methods are clever. At least during the lifetime of the Southern Xiongnu Yuvro, there was no such figure as Maudun. Yu Fuluo's son's name was Liu Bao, and he was not yet twenty years old at the time. is too young, and Yu Fuluo died suddenly, Liu Bao has no chance, no ability and qualifications, and competes with Hu Chuquan for the position of Shan Yu. Therefore, it was easy to call for the kitchen spring and ascend to the throne.

In the first year of Jian'an, Emperor Han Xian returned to the east.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Dao Guo Yan to sit idly by and watch the Han Emperor flee, so he sent troops to pursue him.

Hu Chuquan ordered the Right Xian King to lead the troops to escort him, and fought with Li Dao to block the attack. After the Han Emperor moved the capital to Xu County, he went to Bei and returned to the Southern Xiongnu.

In the eyes of many people, Hu Chuquan has great respect for the Han family, otherwise it would be impossible to go all the way to escort him.

It's just that the Han Emperor was in shock at that time...... In other words, he didn't have the heart to call the kitchen spring at all, and he didn't give any reward. In general, since the Han Dynasty, most of the emperors of the Han Dynasty regarded the Hu people as tigers and wolves and feared them, and on the other hand, they despised the Hu people and regarded them as barbarians. While striking, and at the same time pulling together. This point can be seen from the fact that the Han Emperor handed over the Henan land obtained by Meng Tian, the former Qin general, to the Southern Xiongnu to recuperate.

Cao Peng has not understood this very well.

Perhaps, he couldn't figure it out in his life, he obviously hated the four seas, why did he make a charity and hand over the fertile land of Henan to the Southern Xiongnu? This is clearly another story of a farmer and a snake! When the Huns were weak, they bowed their heads and proclaimed their vassals, sat on the land of Henan, and recuperated; When they were strong, they sent troops to attack and harass, invaded the border, plundered the population, and the blood flowed in the north...... History has proven time and time again that the Hu people are a group of wolves that cannot be raised...... However, the emperors seemed to be immersed in the conjecture of the Celestial Empire, and never accepted the lesson.

Strip with water?

In later generations, the Celestial Empire always used this term to describe the close relationship between the two countries.

But in fact, if you look closely at the source of this water, you can see that this is not a compliment.

"Southern History-Chen Jixia": Emperor Wen of Sui said to Gao Ying: I am the parent of the people, how can I be limited to one piece of clothing and water without saving me?

A strip of water means that it is like a river as wide as a river.

Sui will attack Chen, and Chen is in the south of the river. Emperor Wen of Sui meant that just such a small river, I can hit it at any time to save the people of the world. That is to say, when the expedition is made, the rivers, lakes and seas are not enough to hinder it......

The relationship between the Huns and the Han Dynasty seems to be the same.

Cao Peng vaguely guessed the meaning of why Liu Guang appeared in the mission.

With Yuan Shao's illness and death, Cao Cao's unification of the north was no longer stoppable. But how could the Han Emperor be willing to be a puppet for the rest of his life? After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's prestige grew. In the court, there was even a voice asking Cao Cao to be the prime minister and the general leader of the government. Regardless of whether this voice was spontaneous or Cao Cao was secretly fueling the troubles, its appearance proved that Cao Cao's control in the court was getting stronger and stronger...... Emperor Han was faintly worried.

In the past, only Ma Teng and Liu Bei remained.

Ma Teng is located in Xiliang and has a very strong force. But the problem is that Emperor Han has always had a trace of fear for the Liangzhou soldiers, and he does not dare to trust Ma Teng easily. In the past, Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou soldiers brought what kind of disaster to the Han family? The Han Emperor still remembers it vividly. Do you know that Ma Teng is not the second Dong Zhuo? Do you know that this Xiliang soldier is not the Xiliang soldier of the year?

The so-called once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, roughly so.

Emperor Han's attitude towards Ma Teng was ambiguous and complicated.

That is, pinning hopes on Ma Teng, and at the same time preventing Ma Teng......

This is also the main reason why Ma Teng still has only one title of General Andy, but he has never been officially promoted.

On the contrary, in the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao appointed Ma Teng as the general of the southern expedition, and he was a serious general.

At that time, Yuan Shang was placed in Hedong Taishou Guo Yuan, and joined forces with the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan to attack Guanzhong and fought in Pingyang. Although Ma Teng had a bad feeling towards Cao Cao, he finally decided to send troops to assist Cao Cao. He ordered his eldest son Ma Chao to lead 30,000 troops to assist Zhong Xuan in resisting Guo's reinforcements. Later, Guo Yuan was defeated even more, and his son Ma Chao came to the battle, killed Guo Yuan, and made great achievements. Because of this, Emperor Han was a little more cautious about Ma Teng.

As for Liu Bei......

Now trapped in Jingzhou, he can't even gain a foothold.

The Jingzhou clan has always harbored a trace of hostility towards Liu Bei's arrival.

Although there are Yi and others secretly supporting, it can be seen that it is not easy for Liu Bei to gain a firm foothold.

The Jingzhou family spared no effort to suppress Liu Bei.

And Liu Biao still had a trace of concern about Liu Bei in his heart, and even faintly stood on the side of the Jingzhou clan.

Emperor Han knew that it seemed impossible to count on Liu Bei for a while.

What he can count on, or what he can count on in the north, is only the Southern Xiongnu who had supported him at the beginning.

The Southern Xiongnu were defeated by Cao Cao last year, and the losses were not small.

There was a faint vacillation after Hu Chuquan, which made the Han Emperor feel panicked.

He hoped that the Southern Xiongnu could put some pressure on Cao Cao, and then he would come forward to appease the Southern Xiongnu and establish his prestige.

Therefore, the Han Emperor will inevitably win over the Southern Xiongnu.

If the Southern Xiongnu threw themselves at the Han Emperor, they would make trouble for Cao Cao on the side...... That will inevitably make the great cause of unifying the north even more arduous. Cao Cao also saw this problem, so he ordered Tian Yu to be the deputy envoy and sent an envoy to Saibei......

Tian Yu has dealt with the Hu people a lot and knows the habits of the Hu people very well.

In addition, Cao Cao's new defeat to Hu Chuquan last year, as long as some pressure is exerted, it will definitely make Hu Chuquan dare not act rashly.

It's a game of chess, a big game.

It was Cao Cao and Emperor Han who played chess.

Whether it is Cao Peng, Liu Guang, or even the Southern Xiongnu, they are just a chess piece on the chessboard......

It's just that Cao Peng didn't expect that Emperor Han would actually send Liu Guang.

It was the most trusted chess piece in his hand, but now it was thrown on the chessboard of Saibei, which also shows that Emperor Han is really exhausted now and can't find any other way out. Otherwise, with Liu Xie's temperament, he may not be willing to pull down his face and win over Hu Chuquan. After understanding the mystery of this, Cao Peng's mood became very gloomy.

Southern Xiongnu ......

This time, whatever he said would also destroy the Han Emperor's plan to win over the Southern Xiongnu.

He could imagine what a huge price the Han Emperor would pay. If the Southern Xiongnu really stood on the opposite side of Cao Cao, I am afraid that it will make this situation more complicated and even ...... There is a high probability that it will deviate from its original trajectory.

Anyway, in Cao Peng's memory, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Hu people did not make any changes, and they were even very honest.

At least when Cao Cao was alive, these Hu people were like grandsons one by one. On the contrary, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the Hu people repeatedly appeared in historical materials, and gradually integrated into the historical stage of China, so that in the end......

In history, every time Hu participated in the war in the Central Plains on a large scale, it would bring disaster to China.

The Three Kingdoms are like this; The late Tang Dynasty was like this......

Cao Peng didn't have a good impression of the Hu people, and he seemed to understand that the purpose of Cao Cao's envoy this time was probably to prevent Hu *** from entering the Central Plains on a large scale. Sitting in the military tent, Cao Peng took a deep breath and used a dry rag to slowly wipe the tiger roar knife in his hand...... When necessary, he did not hesitate to kill Liu Guang.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Leng Qing, who do you guess I saw today?"

Just when Cao Peng made up his mind to kill Liu Guang, Liu Guang had already returned to the camp and walked into a small tent.

In the small tent, the candlelight was dim.

A white-haired old man was sitting quietly on a mat, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Who did Liu Hou meet?"

"Cao Peng!"

The old man's cheeks twitched suddenly, and he opened his eyes, and his eyes were bright.

He was fair-skinned, had no need under his chin, and was dressed as a palace servant, making people feel a little lifeless.

Cold Fly!

This old man is Leng Fei, a regular servant in the palace, and he is also Liu Xie's most trusted confidant.

Liu Xie sent Liu Guang and Leng Fei, the Marquis of Linyi, this time, and it can be seen how urgent he was to win over the Southern Huns in his heart. In the fifth year of Jian'an, after Leng Fei's assassination of Cao Peng failed, he disappeared and was never heard from again.

People who knew him well before thought he was dead.

But in fact, Leng Fei has been staying in the bamboo garden under Yuxiu's stage, acting as an old eunuch cleaning the altar.

"Could it be that the news leaked?"

Liu Guang sat down in front of Leng Fei and coughed lightly.

"Probably not," he said...... When I saw Cao Youxue, he seemed very surprised and a little afraid to confirm my identity. I didn't linger much longer with him, and hurried away. In my opinion, Cao Youxue is not coming at me. ”

"Well...... In fact, His Majesty's hand is not very clever.

With the wisdom of a thief, how can he not be aware? It's just that he has no excuse to obstruct the mission, so it is normal to send people to obstruct it. However, Cao Thief is too confident, thinking that sending a hairy boy can stop us? ”

Leng Fei said and suddenly sneered.

"No, let me take that thief's life."

Liu Guang hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, "Now is not the time." ”

"Oh?"

"In my opinion, even if Cao Peng knows about my existence, what can he do to me? It's a big deal that I took Zhou Liangzheng's post as an envoy and acted as a messenger in the name of righteousness, and Cao Cao had nothing to say. I have His Majesty's edict in my hand, so there is no need to worry...... It's nothing more than going from the dark to the light, I'm a descendant of the royal family, what is he Cao Peng? ”

Leng Fei smiled slightly, and his chin was silent.

"Therefore, Cao Peng can't help me, and I have ordered someone to keep an eye on him.

But it's not appropriate to kill him now. This place is too close to Xudu, and killing Cao Peng will inevitably give Cao Thief an excuse. Leng Gong, let's wait until we enter Saibei, and then settle accounts with him. At that time, even if this person is killed, the Cao thief will not be able to whip him.

But before that, please try not to show the flaws of the horse's feet and hide it.

Although Cao Peng knew about my existence, he didn't know that Leng Gong was also with him. When the time comes, the cold palace can ...... it"

Liu Guang said, reaching out and making a motion to wipe his neck.

Leng Fei smiled and nodded, "Since that's the case, then let him live for two more days." ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Life is sometimes so wonderful.

Cao Peng has always felt that if he lived in the afterlife, he might be able to become friends with Liu Guang, discuss wine, and even marry Jinlan.

Now, in troubled times, the two of them are their own masters.

Cao Peng has Cao Peng's dream, and Liu Guang has Liu Guang's persistence.

No one can tell which of them is right and who is wrong, in short, although everyone admires each other, they have to fight each other.

But this time, Liu Guang seems to have taken the initiative.

In the eighth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan once again conquered Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu......

In Poyang and other places in Jiangdong, Shanyue suddenly rose up, forcing Sun Quan to make a decision to return the army immediately and pacify Shanyue.

Sun Quan ordered the capture of Zhonglang General Lu Fan, Dangkou General Cheng Pu, and Jianchang Commander Tai Shici to attack separately.

Subsequently, Sima Huanggai Han Deng of the other department was ordered to guard the counties frequented by Shanyue, and put down the war in April......

And Cao Cao originally intended to take advantage of the fishermen and meddle in Jiangdong affairs.

Unexpectedly, something happened that forced Cao Cao to withdraw his attention and turn to the Hebei region.

In April, Yuan Tan asked his brother Yuan Shang to increase the number of troops in his subordinate and update the armor of his commander, preparing to attack Cao Cao and advance to the south bank of the river. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang suspected that Yuan Tan had a bad heart and rejected Yuan Tan's request. caused Yuan Tan to be furious and immediately raised troops to attack Yuan Shang. The two fought at the Yecheng Gate, but were finally defeated by Yuan Shang due to Yuan Tan's lack of strength, and retreated to Nanpi in May. But although Yuan Tan retreated, Yuan Shang refused to give up, followed the pursuit, and Yuan Tan was defeated......

Subsequently, retreat to the plains.

The strategist Simbi offered advice and could ask Cao Cao for assistance.

After thinking twice, Yuan Tan sent Xin Bi to Xudu, begged for Cao Cao, and asked to marry Cao Cao.

Speaking of which, Yuan Tan is Cao Cao's junior.

Cao Cao didn't want to agree, but was persuaded by Guo Jia and finally agreed to let his son Cao Quan marry Yuan Tan's daughter. However, Cao Cheng is not yet a year old this year, but Yuan Tan's daughter is already 14 years old...... What the final result of this family business will be can be imagined.

In April of the eighth year of Jian'an, just when the Jiangdong Rebellion subsided and there was turmoil in Hebei.

The Han envoys, led by Zhou Liang and Tian Yu, arrived at Xiaoguan.

Xiaoguan is located in the southeast of Guyuan County, Gansu Province.

According to the "Historical Records-Chronology", the East Han Valley, the South Kunwu, the West Umbrella Sanguan, and the North Xiao Pass are the four major passes in Guanzhong.

Its specific location is on the church point of the Great Wall of Qin and the old road of Xiaoguan in the territory of today's Huan County.

He is located on the open platform on the east bank of the Huanjiang River, which is the north gate of Guanzhong. Since the Warring States period, the Xiaoguan Ancient Road has been a channel for military, economic and cultural exchanges between Guanzhong and the north. It is one of the earliest passes in the history of the Great Wall, and its strategic location is extremely important.

However, after the rebellion of Li Dao Guo Yan and the melee in Guanzhong, Xiao Guan was broken.

After the mission arrived at Xiaoguan, it would stay for three days, and after replenishing supplies and other supplies, it would leave the north and plug it.

Cao Peng has experienced a bumpy road, and it is rare to be idle.

On this day, he led Han De and Wang Shuang, took Pang Tong, and rode out of the camp Yuanmen......
