Xianbei Tuoba Department originally out of Donghu, Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu after the north, according to the research of later generations, may have fled to the Heilongjiang River Valley. When it came to the time of "offering the emperor's neighbor" (alias "Tui Yin") in the Book of Wei, it is said that a god said: "This land is barren and not enough to build a capital, so it is advisable to resettle." Therefore, the neighbor passed on his son "Shengwu Emperor Jiefen" and ordered him to move south, "the birthplace of the Xiongnu", that is, in the northernmost Wuyuan and Shuofang counties of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Jie Fen served his father, led his clansmen, and migrated all the way south, but in fact, it had not been ten years since he entered Bingzhou—in this time and space, it was Shuozhou, the head of the Xunsuo. Most of the nomadic Xianbei tribes in this area had participated in the big alliance formed by Tanshi Huai, and there was a little incense between them, and only the Tuoba Department was an outsider, so the foundation was unstable. In order to be able to occupy a place, Jiefen befriended with the Wulu Hui Department, and married his sister to the Lord Bin of the Wulu Hui Department - Bin's original surname is the Sudouling clan, and after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed the surname of the Chinese people, he changed his surname to "Dou", so he was called Dou Bin in history.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's wife Dou Shi, although she was born in Fufeng Pingling, her ancestor was actually Xianbei Douling clan. Of course, in the official historical records, he clings to the famous family of the Han family, falsely called the Eastern Han Dynasty general Dou Wu's clan, and went north to avoid trouble, and I don't know how he became the Hun - so this Douling clan later became the Dou clan, not to change the surname, but to restore the original surname.

At this time, more than ten towns in the west of Xianbei fell, and the two largest forces were one west and one east, Putou in the west, and Budugen, the heir of Tanshi Huai in the east. Tuoba and Wuluhui are among them. Putou can develop to Liangzhou. Budugen competed with Wuhuan in Youzhou. And the two wings of the seven alliances in the middle were blocked, and if they wanted to grow, they could only go south to fight the Huns in Meiji.

When it comes to equipment and organizational strength, Xianbei is inferior to the Huns, but the barbarism and bravery are excessive, so the strength is comparable on the surface, but in fact, they attack each other every year, and the losses of the Huns are getting bigger and bigger. There is a gradual fear of humility. At the beginning of this year, taking advantage of the winter to have nothing to do, the Seven Alliances planned to grab a vote from the Huns, so that they could wait for spring, Dou Bin went to discuss with Jiefen, but unexpectedly the Tuoba Department was holding a big funeral - "Tui Yin" was over fifty years old, and suddenly he couldn't afford to get sick and hung up.

Dou Bin gave the sacrificial ceremony, and urged Jie Fen, saying that it was not the right time for your Lao Tzu to die. It's better to bury it for the time being, and wait for the funeral to come back - why don't you grab a ticket this winter? I'm afraid that it will be sad to come to spring, not to mention that Putou and Budugen may be killed, the alliance is originally on the surface, and the other department sees that your family is weak, maybe you have to come to get a piece of the pie, so how can it be good? But Jie Fen has always respected his father, and he claimed that he was too sad, and he really had no intention of going on an expedition, so he simply selected his subordinates and belonged to Dou Bin, saying brother-in-law, you take my people to fight, how much do you grab, let's open four or six, you have the lion's share.

The Seven Alliances said that they would go south together, and there were nearly 30,000 people, which was enough for the Huns to drink a pot, but when the troops were mobilized, two of them found all kinds of excuses and refused to participate - only to find out afterwards that they had secretly attached themselves to Putou and planned to follow Putou to the west. The remaining five departments and four adults gathered to discuss, if they retreated and sat on the guard, they were afraid that they would be strongly suppressed by Putou after this autumn, and even attacked, so it was better to take these 20,000 horses and horses to the Huns to crash into the luck. Anyway, the Huns are cowardly, even if they are one against one, we are not afraid of them.

So the 20,000 army immediately slaughtered Meiji - if it were not for the imminent crisis, they might not have been able to make the wisdom faint, got the cattle and sheep offered by the Huns, listened to the situation of the Han land described by the Huns, and turned around without careful investigation, and were made dumplings by Zhuge Liang and Guo Huai.

Through this matter, Jie Fen knew that the Seven Divisions Alliance was no longer in vain, and there was no Luhui Department to rely on, and now the surrounding areas were the most powerful, in addition to Putou and Budugen, there were only the Huns of Meiji and the Han people further south; Putou and Budugen are of the same clan, once attached, they will be annexed, the Huns are their own defeated generals, naturally can not be relied on, so ...... Let's try to find a backer from the Han people?

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and all Shishu were forced to flee to the border - to the south across the Yangtze River, to Jing, to Yang, and even to Jiaozhou; to Yizhou in the southwest, Youzhou in the northeast and even the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula in the northeast; To go north is to flee to the north of the state. Therefore, there are not a few people who have escaped into Xianbei or been taken captive by Xianbei, and many of them have a skill or a talent for the world, so they help those barbarian peoples gradually become civilized. The Xianbei traditional primitive commune system began to collapse in the Tanshihuai era and gradually entered a slave society, in which these Han people played a considerable role in promoting it.

In the middle of it, a certain scholar from the Central Plains fled to the Tuoba Department, and was treated as a guest by Fen, asking him about the way to enrich the people and strengthen the country, as well as the basic situation of the vast southern Central Plains. This scholar tried his best to boast about the wealth of the Han land, but he was also afraid that this would cause the Tuoba clan to covet it, so he even said that the Han soldiers were strong - "The Han has a strong crossbow and a sharp blade, and its soldiers have been trained for a long time, so there is a cloud: 'One Han is ten Hus.'" 'In the heyday of the Xiongnu, the east and the east Hu, the west but the Yue, there was a grassland desert, and for the Wei, Huo Shu defeated the battle, so there was a sad song of "death I Qilian Mountain". ”

This scholar said that before the ministers were in chaos, the Han soldiers gathered in the center to suppress the thieves (it should refer to the Kwantung princes to kill Dong Zhuo), so they let the Xiongnu and Wuhuan take advantage of the loopholes, just wait for the civil strife to be certain, and it will be pushed back, and when the time comes, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan will not be able to run away, and they will have to settle the general account. He advised Fen that he could attack the Huns, do not disturb the Han land, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he must have a good relationship with the Han family, and serve it as the master, but he is not afraid of Putou and Budugen.

Of course, this scholar himself may not believe this kind of words, but he also sincerely hopes that one day, he will still have the opportunity to return to his hometown, and there is no need to die in a foreign country like the Bank of China and Li Ling, bury the bones in the borderland, and even leave a reputation for eternity.

Jie Fen respected this scholar very much, and naturally took his words as the truth. The Chinese dialect of Jiefen is taught by this scholar, and as for the so-called "prestige" and merits of the so-called Xun, it is also heard from the mouth of this scholar - although it is remote and remote, a lot of information really needs to be inquired carefully, and you can always inquire about it, of course, the situation in Jing, Yang, Yi, Jiao and other places farther away in the past few years, the scholar can't inquire at all.

Therefore, when Jiefen encountered a crisis, the first thing he thought of was to take the opportunity to attach himself to the Han family and let the Han soldiers support him. He heard the scholar say that the Han people are very merciful, as long as they are vassals to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, serve him Zhengshuo, and make a little tribute every year, then the Han family will have wealth to give, and in case of danger, they will also send troops to help each other - "Xi Nan Dan is in Hu Han's evil force, and the enemy of Non-Bei Dan is in Zhizhi, and in order to call Han evil south, Han Sui sent troops to chase Zhi Zhi, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang Wanli expedition, and beheaded the Zhi branch ......"

As for the fact that Zhizhi Shan Yu also wanted to attach himself to the Han Dynasty, but was divided and disintegrated by the Han people, treating him differently from Hu Han Evil, first forcing him to move west, and then directly taking his court, similar to the inside story, do you think that scholar would say it?

So, just like that, Jie Fen went to the frontline base to meet Shixun, and asked Shixun to return his people, he was willing to raise his clan to join him, pay tribute to the Han Dynasty, and send his eldest son Liwei to Shixun as a hostage. Yes Xun said that I still have to think about this, you go down and rest first, and I will call you over later and give you an explanation.

At that moment, he ordered someone to take Jie Fen down, but secretly ordered him not to let him meet with Dou Bin and others, but among the Huns he belonged to, let those Huns help boast about their own abilities - including magic weapons that can be used to release fire snakes in the sky, and those who stand up servants or something can be open to nonsense.

Then the group of people was summoned to discuss. Just in time for Zheng Hun, the guard of Xihe County, to escort a team of grain trucks to come, by the way, he urged Shixun to march quickly - you have to be cautious here, if you don't fight Meiji, I will soon run out of food supply behind me. Therefore, Shi Xun also summoned Zheng Hun to attend the meeting, reported the situation of the battle with Xianbei a few days ago, and comforted him that a large number of cattle, sheep and good horses would soon be transported, not only was there no shortage of grain, but also a part of the good horses could be allocated to Zheng Hun so that he could trade materials with other counties. Zheng Hun was overjoyed, and took advantage of the words to speak:

"Since the Tuoba Department intends to be attached, it is better for you to allow it. That is, to take the strength of the small, pull out the livestock and the wild captives, and teach the way of the saints, and strengthen their loyalty and benevolence. In the future, it will be able to sweep away the northern captives for the Han family and guard the border towns, and then it will call the Han evil again. ”

Shixun smiled and twisted his beard silently. He said in his heart that although Zheng Wengong is also a famous guard, you are still too angry after all in this difference between Hu and Han...... Or more precisely, the poison of Confucianism is too deep. Do you think that even if he is a foreigner, as long as he teaches him Confucian etiquette and teaches him loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, he will naturally transform into a Han Chinese? Will he no longer pose a threat to the Central Plains regime? Let's not talk about the wolf-hearted guys among the Han people who also grabbed a lot of them, just talk about the later Liu Yuan and Liu Yuanhai, who also lived in the Central Plains for a long time and learned Confucian classics from the great Confucian Cui You, Sima Yan compared him to You Yu and Jin Riyan. But people say that rebellion is rebellion, and they don't beat a single one!

"Five nonsense chaos", Liu Yuan has been the beginning since then.

Therefore, in terms of the transportation and communication conditions of this era, as well as military technology, it would be a fool's dream to solve the problem of traveling to the northern steppe once and for all. The Han family relied on its own strength, and there was never a Central Plains Dynasty when it was strong and could not defeat Hu, nor was it able to defeat Hu when the Central Plains Dynasty was weak. When the Central Plains Dynasty was not strong enough, the only way to deal with the Hu people was to divide and disintegrate, "to raze and raze", or to be a little lighter.

Therefore, I do have plans to support the Tuoba Department to fight against the Huns, and to restrain Putou, Budugen, Kebineng, etc. in the future, but I don't plan to rely on any "sage's way" to train Tuoba Liwei. To be gracious to the power of the force, is this kindness...... I could try to copy the same method used by another foreign race more than a thousand years later, and it might work wonders!
