Later, when Jian Man grew up, he competed with Putou for power, resulting in the separation of the Xianbei tribe. Later, Putou died, and his younger brother Budugen became the leader of the tribe, but at this time, the Xianbei west of Daijun had rebelled, and the central and eastern Xianbei east of Daijun was also split into three power groups, namely Budugen, Kebineng and Eastern Xianbei Suli, Mijia, Que Ji, etc.

In this way, Bu Dugen naturally has a feud with the other two power groups, because, from his point of view, he is the supreme leader of the entire Xianbei nation, and he is the king of Xianbei. However, the tribes such as Kobineng and Suli did not listen to him, and even opposed him.

For him, these disobedient tribes were rebellions, and their essence was the same as that of the various separatist warlords in the late Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty entered the Three Kingdoms Era, and in fact, Xianbei was also in the Three Kingdoms Era. Budugen is equal to Shu Han, with the name of the Liu clan, but he can only live in a corner. Kebineng and Suli are equivalent to Wei and Wu, don't say obey you, it's not bad if you don't attack you.

Of course, in fact, there are more than three forces, there are many tribes or tribes on the grassland, they are either allied, or independent, equivalent to various separatist warlords, the three forces mentioned here are because these three forces are relatively large and have a wider influence, while the rest of the forces are relatively weak and are ignored for the time being.

The various forces on the steppe will not only not help each other, but will attack each other and swallow each other. In the process of annexing each other, some forces will stand out, and their strength will gradually grow like a snowball. In the end, there will always be a British lord who will destroy and annex all the forces and unify the grasslands. At this time, it is the time when the Central Plains Dynasty and the Han people are suffering.

This process has been repeated in the history of the steppe, and the ethnic groups that have played this great drama have changed one after another, including the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Uighur (Uighur), Uyghur, Kargas (Kirgiz), Kazakhs, Khitans, Mongols, Sushen, Jurchens, Manchus, and so on.

No matter how these ethnic groups change or how they change, the plot is always the same, and there is also a process of disintegration and gradual unification of the regime on the steppe. Fortunately, now is not the time for Xianbei to unify, when Tanshi Huai unified Xianbei, Xianbei's strength was the strongest, and now it has fallen apart.

For Bu Dugen, in addition to being enmity because of his refusal to obey him, the "King of Xianbei", Kebineng also deepened the hatred between the two sides because of one thing:

Among the three forces, Budugen is relatively pro-Wei. This is the credit of Cao Cao - he has beaten them to the ground. Budugen's middle brother Fu Luohan also has tens of thousands of people to become "adults". During the Jian'an period, Kebineng also paid tribute to the imperial court through Yan Rou to express his submission.

In April 218 A.D. (the twenty-third year of Jian'an), Daijun Bei Wuhuan Nengchen and others rebelled and asked to return to Fuluohan. Fuluo Han led more than 10,000 cavalry to meet him. After arriving in Sangqian County, Neng Chendi and others discussed that the prestige of the Fuluohan army was not very high, and they were afraid that they would not be able to achieve their careers, so they sent another person to send a letter to Kebineng asking for attachment.

Kebineng immediately sent more than 10,000 cavalry to meet him, and swore an oath to the sky with Neng Chendi. Kobineng then killed Furohan at the banquet. Fu Luohan's son Hui Gui Ni and all his subordinates were submissive. As a result, Budugen hated Ke Bineng even more. As a result, a series of major battles broke out between the two sides.

After listening to Guo Youzhi's detailed account of the grievances of the Xianbei tribes, Liu Hou also thought that the plan to sow discord was promising, so he asked: "This plan is feasible, but this matter is very important, I don't know who can take on this important task?" ”

This matter is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, and it is necessary to risk your life to negotiate with the Hu people, and you must have a brave and resourceful person who is very familiar with the various tribes of the Hu people to be competent. There are not no such people in the Shu army, and Guo Youzhi in front of him is one of them, but such people are very important to the imperial court, and Liu Hou is reluctant to let them take this risk.

Guo Youzhi saw that the time had come, and said: "If Weichen recommends a person, he will definitely be able to accomplish this." ”

"Oh? Who is it, Guo Aiqing come quickly. ”

"The surname of the person recommended by Weichen is Tian Mingyu, the word Guorang, and he is the Taishou of the county. This person also has a name, Captain Karasuma. When Karasuma Notochen and others rebelled, it was this person who led the troops to defeat Karasuma's rebellious army, and finally even the Xianbei Kebineng who came to reinforce was also defeated by him, and Kobi Neng was forced to flee to Saibei.

This person is brave and resourceful, and has a wealth of experience in dealing with the Hu people, and he is the best person to carry out this mission. "Guo Youzhi.

"Oh, this person is Wei Chen? Will he help us? Where is he now? Have you already been taken prisoner of our army? Liu Hou asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, Daijun has not fallen into the hands of our army. When our army marched to Zhuogun, we encountered the Karasuma cavalry, and after a great battle with them, we stopped continuing north. And Dai Jun is north of Zhuo County, so our army did not attack Dai County. Naturally, Tian Yu did not become a prisoner of our army. "Guo Youzhi.

"So, we have to persuade Tian Yu to surrender first, and then we can use it for me after he surrenders? What if he refuses to surrender, or if he refuses to accept this difficult task? Liu Houdao.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, Tian Yu had an old relationship with the first emperor in the past, if Your Majesty is willing to write a letter to him, tell him about his friendship with the first emperor back then, and then persuade him with good words, I think he will agree to serve His Majesty.

Moreover, according to Weichen's understanding, Tian Yu has been dealing with the Hu people for many years, and his achievements are impressive, and his wish is to chase the Hu people in the north and calm the northern Xinjiang. If His Majesty appoints him to continue to deal with the Hu people, he will definitely not obey. ”

It turned out that when Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zhan, Tian Yu was still young and once trusted Liu Bei, and Liu Bei valued him very much. Later, Liu Bei served as the assassin of Yuzhou, Tian Yu asked to return to his hometown on the grounds of his mother's old age, Liu Bei said goodbye to him with tears, saying: "I just hate not to build a great cause with you." ”

After Liu Hou learned about the history of his cheap father who had missed Tian Yu back then, he immediately no longer hesitated, personally wrote a sincere letter, and selected an official who could speak well as a proclamation envoy.

Persuading Tian Yu and then letting him do the strategy of sowing discord is a very time-consuming matter, and it is impossible to count on it at the moment. Now the most urgent task is to immediately send troops to fight a few battles with those Hu people, beat them badly, and drive them to the north as much as possible.

This is the most important thing to relieve the people from hanging upside down, and the people near the northern border are suffering from their poison, and they are looking forward to the early arrival of the king to rescue them. Therefore, Liu Hou immediately issued an order to transfer all the troops of the five divisions that had gone to various places to "persuade surrender" to various counties and counties to northern Xinjiang, preparing to fight a battle with the Hu people.

After several months of training, these five divisions have fought more or less several battles, and now they have almost completed their training. Of course, they still need to go through the test of the great war before they can be reborn into real elites. And now the Hu people in the north are providing them with the opportunity to test this trial.
