Chapter 215: A Delicate Balance

Later, at the instigation of Qianman and his allies, Western Xianbei rebelled and split into Western Xianbei. Qian Man is a guy with ideas, since Jiang Zi can't get a big order for a position, then Lao Tzu won't play with you, set up his own door, and make himself a big single.

Xianbei to the east of Yanmendai County in the east was also divided, and Budugen was only one of the three major forces in the east. In addition, there is also Youzhou and Shanggu generation Kebineng, this guy is very tightly involved with Gongsun Zhan. Further east are the tribes of Suli, Micah and Que Ji, mainly distributed in the right and north of Liaoxi, which is roughly equivalent to the later generation of Beijing and Tianjin.

Of course, these are only the territories they are closest to the Han Chinese, and as for the territories they extend to outside the Saiwai, it is not easy to count due to their perennial conquests. But what can be imagined is that their territory outside the Saiwai extends to the north, and the territory is not small, and it is not necessarily much smaller than the annexation of any one.

Among the three forces, Bu Dugen is relatively pro-Yuan Shao, although he often harasses and merges the state, it does not mean that Yuan Shao hates him more, in fact, Yuan Shao's cheap bones still attach great importance to Bu Dugen. At the beginning, when besieging Gongsun Zhan, it was Bu Dugen's men and horses who helped Yuan Shao, and it was Bu Dugen's son Grodan and Bu Dugen's second brother Fu Luohan's son Ji Gui Ni who led the team, but they only cared about robbing their homes and houses, and they didn't go to the battlefield much, so they didn't meet Lu Chen. And it was the Kebineng tribe that helped Gongsun Zhan.

Budugen's second brother, Fu Luohan, also has tens of thousands of horses, and is in his own right, and is also a lord of the party (the name of the leader of the Xianbei tribe), however, his tribe does not border the Han Dynasty. It's a bit further north, so it's less informative. Bu Dugen, the nominally orthodox Da Dan Yu, is a little aggrieved, and now the people he can mobilize, in addition to his own tens of thousands of horses, are some of the people and horses of Fu Luohan.

Kebi can not call Bu Du at all, and it can even be said that he is not bird him at all, and he may even stir up the base with Qian Man in the west if he is in a hurry, so Bu Du Gen can only treat Ke Bi Neng tribe leniently.

The three small tribes further east had a better relationship with Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and Budugen had some influence on them. But. First, the other party has too few people, and second, it is really too far, and if the army is dispatched, the grain and grass will have to be consumed to death. So. He didn't dare to greet them lightly.

According to intelligence. If it weren't for Qianman's two great enemies in the west, the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu, he would have the strength of 150,000 cavalry, but he was afraid that he would have exploded the old chrysanthemum of Budugen. In fact, the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu were separated. The strength is not as good as before, but the obsession is deep, and they all want to recapture the prairie, so the battles with the Qianman tribe are extremely frequent, which leads to the inability of Qianman to hit the troops and the two brothers.

And as far as Bu Dugen and Fu Luo Han are two brothers, they are not united, Fu Luo Han's strength is not weaker than Bu Du Gen, and there are some signs of differentness. Especially his son is even more arrogant, this guy who is also known as the three great eagle warriors of the Huns, the most unconvincing is the "prince" Grodan, so he always encourages his father to unite with Kebineng and others to stand on their own.

It's just that hesitating to help Luo Han's territory move away from the Han land and closer to Qian Man's cavalry, he often feels that Qian Man covets his fat ass, and needs Bu Dugan's help to resist the violent actions that the other party may launch at any time. In this case, if he turns his face with Bu Dugen, Fu Luohan is likely to be spit by Qianman's hundreds of thousands of cattle. In addition, necessities such as salt, iron, tea, and cloth had to be purchased from the Guò Han merchants on the Budugen territory, and the regular feast at the end of each year - the plundering of the Han people - also had to go to the territory of Budugen, so Fu Luohan still maintained a good friendship with his brothers.

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief after reading the information, fortunately, Bu Dugen is only a big single in name, and it is only in name of their group, and the other group of people will not take you to play. Such a position is undoubtedly somewhat similar to Liu Bao, Liu Bao's father is a genuine prince, of course, he did not get to the throne later, and went south to seek refuge in the Han princes, and his attempt to borrow power was unsuccessful. This almost indicates the future of Budugen, under the simple and crude rules of the nomads, it is difficult for him to truly dominate the grassland unless he is open, in this case, his strength will become weaker and weaker, which is almost doomed. Just like Liu Bao, it is really because of the identity of the nominal heir of Xiongnu Shan Yu, the guide is guarded everywhere and eroded everywhere, and everyone will be wary of him, so he is getting weaker and weaker. Budugen is the same, the adults of Xianbei in the east may be able to tolerate others to grow, but it is difficult to tolerate Budugen to become stronger, even if it is Budugen's second brother Fu Luohan, he also has the same mind.

In this way, Lu Chen has a spectrum in his heart, if he really fights with Budugen, it may be dangerous, but Budugen will also be chrysanthemum-dewed, and he will also worry about whether a hairy man behind his ass will suddenly lean over with a smile. In other words, the reason why Bu Dugen has not agreed to Zhang Yan's request until now and fought Yanmen together is because he has a lot of scruples. The news shows that Zhang Yan has made a bloody investment, and it is said that he dares to nominally vote for Budugen, which is a difficult step for a Han person, even if he was born in a yellow scarf and created a rebellion in the imperial court, it is not important, but if he changes his ancestors, he will be pointed out by thousands of people.

Since Budugen has a reason to hesitate, then Lu Chen is confident that he can put forward ten or eight reasons for the peaceful coexistence of Budugen and Yanmen, and on the basis of economic alliance, appropriately disclose the vision of helping Budugen regain the grassland. Although in terms of Yanmen's strength, such words are tantamount to a toad yawning, but it is important to have an attitude.

Combining Budugen and dealing with Qianman, this is enough to make Budugen excited, as for whether it can be realized, this is not very important, it is more important to stand in line. Moreover, Lu Chen did not kill Grodan, once the relationship eases, Grodan can also come to Ma Yi to lie on the woman to mine, where to dig or not? Budugen disagrees? This possibility is not very high, does he want Han land or grassland? Lu Chen believes that for the Xianbei people, herding is the main business, looting? It's just a side hustle or hobby. It's sad to say, but it's the truth.

After making a plan, Lu Chen asked Lu Zhan, who was holding a letter and biting the pen: "Yikuan, from yesterday to this morning, can the Xianbei people take revenge?" Did our army clash with them? ”

Lu Zhan thought for a while and shook his head: "I just skimmed through the official documents and intelligence, and there was no war, it is said that the Xianbei people in the north of Yanmen suddenly retreated for dozens of miles last night, probably because they received an order from Budugen." ”

Sure enough, Lu Chen smiled and nodded, this time he was right. However, such a thing can't happen again, gambling is gambling after all, and there is no sure thing to win, Lu Chen hates it. Just like this time, he was forced under his nose by Grodin, and he had to take the risk of fighting back, and if he didn't do a good job, he might start a war.

This is not to say that Lu Chen will be more ruthless to Grodan, on the contrary, if Lu Chen's appearance is a little softer, maybe the Xianbei people have already come to the city, and sometimes, it is precisely their own weakness that boosts the other party's confidence and arrogance. So, when you're in a weak position, the best option is to be tough. There are not many singles who really dare to fight and kill, especially the princes of one side, no one is barefoot, including Lu Chen, who now has a territory and a team, all need to be properly cautious.

Balance has always been the most delicate, and although the straw is light, it can sometimes crush the camel. (To be continued......)
