~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May Conference Dragon City: Every year in May, the big and small leaders gather in the Dragon City, led by Shan Yu to worship the ancestors, fields, ghosts and gods, which is the most important and solemn sacrificial activity of the Xiongnu.
August Congress: Every August, leaders of all sizes gather in the royal court to gather in the forest, and this time it belongs to the administrative conference. The main purpose is to calculate the number of people and livestock, and to carry out administrative matters such as prison sentences.
These were the two most important royal court-level meetings of the Xiongnu era, and the Xianbei people, who had been vassals and vassals of the Xiongnu for nearly a thousand years, accepted these two important traditions without any psychological obstacles. In the era of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei was unified, and several conferences were held in Longcheng. However, the name of the party remains the same, but the location has changed, it is no longer the Dragon City of the Xiongnu Palace, but at the foot of Daxianbei Mountain, by the Raole Water. It's just that the glory of Xianbei people comes and goes quickly. After the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei was divided into three divisions, attacking each other, and the Dragon City (Rao Leshui) of the May Conference became yesterday's yellow flower.
The meeting of Dragon City is yellow, but the August conference has continued, after all, this is just an administrative meeting, the territory is bigger, there are more people, and the administrative meeting will be held; The site is smaller, and there are fewer people, so a small administrative meeting will be held. Counting the number of people and livestock, as well as the sentence of the prison sentence, are all necessary.
The three Xianbei tribes, every August, each hold its own forest conference, and compete to invite forces adjacent to their own territory or friendly to participate, so as to strengthen their momentum. For example, the western Xianbei will generally invite the Southern Xiongnu, Tu Gehu, Xian Lingqiang, etc.; In the central and eastern Xianbei, the three counties of Karasuma, Goguryeo, Buyeo, and Zhan will be invited. Of course, there is one force, and the three Xianbei will definitely compete to invite, and that is the captain of the Karasuma who manages the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people.
There is only one captain who guards Karasuma, how can he be separated from three places? And after half a month, I have to participate in the Karasuma people's forest meeting. This kind of thing cannot yet send a messenger, but must attend it personally, otherwise it will offend one party. Previously, the most common method used by Captain Karasuma was to take turns, so that everyone had nothing to say. Although the Han Dynasty was weak at this time, and the captain of the Captain Gokasuma became less and less authoritative in the eyes of foreign peoples, so that when it came to Cheng Dù, who shouted and shouted and killed, it was still a good drop of gold and platinum used as a face.
At this year's party, Captain Gokarasuma happened to be the turn of the central Xianbei to sit in the village, that is, the Kobi Noh Department. It is understandable why the Hango Ministry was invited. But is it just because of the rise of the Hango tribe that can Kebi ignore it?
Ma Han threw this question out and asked Tian Yu.
Tian Yu replied without hesitation: "No, it's because of fugitive slaves." ”
Ma Han nodded and smiled, the hero saw the same thing.
How did the Hango tribe rise? Raid other departments, save Han Nu, and then combine Han Nu as the main body into a close group, they have a centripetal force and cohesion that other departments do not have. But the question is, if you save the slaves, encourage the escapes, and collect the fugitive slaves, aren't you digging up the roots of the tribes and sucking their blood? Whether it's a Xianbei person or a Karasuma person, how can they be indifferent to this? If Ma Han is allowed to continue like this, the tribes in Mobei will be defeated sooner or later.
In the face of Ma Hu's aggressive momentum, the Xianbei people were tempted, and the Karasuma people made a move, and it turned out that it was not possible to do it, so the next step would be to negotiate. Taking advantage of the conference, it is undoubtedly the best solution for the Xianbei Lord Kebi in the central part of the country to come forward in person.
Ma Han also needs such a solution, after all, the Hange is still too weak, it is okay to suck a mouthful or two of blood, if the Xianbei people and the Karasuma people bite too painfully, and join forces to deal with him, even the captain of the Karasuma Captain will not be able to protect him at that time. Therefore, Ma Han must go to this forest conference.
At the tribal assembly, when Ma Han informed the elders and leaders of his decision and reasons, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Tang Nu said: "The most afraid is that the Xianbei people are malicious, and on other people's territory, if the Xianbei people turn their faces......"
At this time, Yan Zhi, who lived in the Han Ge Department, hurriedly stood up and said: "My Yan clan's private soldiers have five hundred horses, and I am on the side of the Han Ge Department with all my strength, no matter how arrogant the Xianbei people are, they have to take care of the face of our brothers." If Kebi can have a bad heart, my Yan clan's five hundred horsemen will be dead, and I will also protect the horse commander. ”
Yan Zhi came to form an alliance with the Han Ge Department on behalf of the Yan Clan, and he had reached a preliminary intention, waiting for Yan Rou to finalize it in person. Unexpectedly, Yan Rou hadn't come yet, and Kebineng's invitation card came first. Yan Zhi, who was about to be integrated with the Han Ge Ministry, naturally wanted to pat his chest and proclaim that he would share weal and woe.
Sure enough, Yan Zhi's bold words received a lot of grateful eyes, and the old man Muji even saluted him as an elder to express his gratitude.
No one dissuaded Ma Han, because everyone knew that this move was imperative, and it was related to the future survival and development of the Hango tribe. Adventure is a must be taken, in fact, every day that the Hange Department saves zài, why not take risks? When and where you don't need to risk to survive in this land of iron and blood?
After the matter is cleared, the next step is to arrange the personnel who stay behind and the accompanying personnel.
Tian Yu is going. When negotiating this kind of thing, it is best not to let the boss go shirtless at the beginning, so that once the negotiation is deadlocked, there is no room for maneuver. It is best to go to a deputy as the front of the stage first, and Ma Han hides behind the scenes, so that he can advance or retreat. It's true that Ma Han is a gang, but which gang doesn't have a number of legitimate businesses under its name? At the beginning, he had a bunch of titles as chairman and general manager on his head, and he didn't know how many business negotiations he had participated in, and there were more first-class negotiations.
Another thing that cannot be said to others is that Tian Yu is the deputy sent by Captain Gokarasuma and the second person in the Hange Department, and he will be under Ma Han, if he doesn't take it away, how can he rest assured?
Then, Uchai is going to go. One of the leaders of the Hango cavalry was now the equivalent of the leader of the guards. In addition, twenty Hange cavalry were selected - it is useless to bring too many people, after all, it is someone else's territory, if you really want to clean you up, it is not enough to bring a few hundred people. On top of that, there were so few Hango cavalry that they barely reached four hundred, half of which were auxiliary cavalry. These Han people, who have just been washed away from slavery, have not yet passed the riding skills, and they are barely guarding the village, and they are fighting in the field? Or a field battle with the Hu people? It is not interesting to use this method to find death.
The few soldiers, the old and the weak, the weak defenses of the stockade, and the wolves around them - this is the difficult situation that Ma Han and his Hango tribe face. If it weren't for that, how could Ma Han immediately rush to Ning County to discuss as soon as he heard Xing Ju's call? Even though they were wary of the Yan brothers, they had to accept their joint request. Including this trip to the north, this is all the same.
Like a newborn baby, Hango really needs help and a suitable environment to grow up.
"I've handed over most of my troops to you, you have to take care of your home." Ma Han patted Tang Nu's thick shoulder with his left hand, "No matter what happens, take the principle of guarding your homeland as the principle, and wait for me to come back." ”
Donnu clenched his fists, his eyes slightly red, and he paused heavily.
On the third day of the first month of August, Ma Han, Tian Yu, Yan Zhi, and Wu Chai, each led their headquarters to send thousands of people to each other for more than ten miles, and they crossed the water and went north to the Great Xianbei Mountain.
