Tuoba Xianbei is a branch of Xianbei, also known as other Xianbei.

Their origin was originally in the northeast, the area of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and later after two migrations, the second migration came to the homeland of the Xiongnu, the north of the Hetao, and the area of Guyang Yin Mountain.

The water and grass here are abundant, and it is a good place for grazing and hunting.

Later, Tanshi Huai established the Xianbei royal court in Danhan Mountain, conquered the entire Xianbei, and all the tribes and clans identified with the Danhan Mountain royal court and identified with Tanshi Huai Shan Yu.

Xianbei's strength skyrocketed, and at this time, it was the period of the Second Emperor Huan Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The current Xianbei, after the death of Tanshi Huai's son and Lian, is divided into three parts, and it is also the three most powerful tribes, namely Budugen and Kebineng, and Suli, Mijia and Que Ji in the eastern Xianbei.

The Tuoba Department in the north of Hetao and Yanmen was under the rule of Budugen.

Now Tuoba Xianbei's Shan Yu, called Tuoba Liwei, agreed to send troops to support the Xiongnu, and the person who wanted to take the opportunity to enter the state was Tuoba Liwei.

For this reason, he also personally led the army south, came to Wuyuan on the north bank of the Yellow River, waited for their Xianbei good news, and then prepared to lead the army to the south in one fell swoop, kill the Han Dynasty, and seize the richer Han land.

But before the good news arrived, they got the news that they sent out, and the Xianbei generals who arrived at the Xiongnu were all killed by Yang Zhao.

The Xianbei army fled across the river in disarray, and had come to the city.

"What!"

Tuoba Liwei got the news, and the whole person was stunned for a while.

They are Xianbei people, the cavalry is invincible, no one is invincible, the strength is as strong as it is, the current Han is deep in the civil war, he thinks that the Han has been almost consumed internally, and it must not be the opponent of their Xianbei warriors.

How can the result now be that they Xianbei people were hanged and beaten.

Tuoba Li didn't believe it, and couldn't accept it, so he hurried out of the city to take a look.

Sure enough, it was the soldiers who fled back from the rout, and the wounded soldiers, the blood on their bodies, and the wounds, were telling him that this was the truth, not a fake.

"That Han man named Yang Zhao is so strong?"

Tuobali was slightly shocked.

"Shan Yu, not only did we lose the battle, the Xiongnu army was annihilated, and the Huns living in the Hetao area are being driven out of the Hetao and going north." A general who had fled back said eagerly.

Tuoba Li thought for a while, raised his head suddenly, and said: "Take over all the Huns who were driven north, and arrange for the army to be stationed in Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Lesheng, and wait for my arrangement." ”

He decided to return to the north of Yinshan Mountain first, and go back to see their Dadan Yu Budugen.

Next, it is possible to fight Yang Zhao again.

They should not be able to avoid this battle, Yang Zhao may take advantage of the situation, if they are really suppressed by Yang Zhao, in the next ten or twenty years, don't think that they still have the ability to go south again.

He wanted to break the game.

broke the situation of Yang Zhao's strong combat power.

Otherwise, they will be Xianbei and will really be confined to death by the Han people, and they will not be able to go south anymore, and even the counties south of the Great Wall may be recaptured by Yang Zhao.

This is not in their interest.

Tuoba Li thought of so much, and hurried through Yin Mountain to Danhan Mountain in the north.

The person who occupies the north side of the Hetao is Budugen, and the royal court of Danhan Mountain is the royal court of Budugen.

——

Xiangyang.

Liu Biao's condition worsened, and he could only lie on the bed, his face was pale, and he looked like he was about to die.

Liu Cong looks like a filial son, kneeling on the couch every day and serving his father in person.

The current Jingzhou can be regarded as internal and external troubles.

The internal worry is that after Liu Biao fell ill, the two sons began to fight openly and secretly, and the external trouble was that Cao Cao hit Xinye, and was about to come to Xiangyang City to seize Jingzhou.

In the past, when Liu Biao was not seriously ill, the combat strength of the Jingzhou soldiers was acceptable, and they could still get the support of various families, and a large number of troops, grain and grass and baggage were sent to the north, barely able to block Cao Cao's attack.

Now that Liu Biao is ill, internal chaos has begun, and the two sons have formed a gang, and Cao Cao has taken the opportunity to drive straight in.

It was caused, today's results.

"Father, you will definitely get better."

Liu Cong saw Liu Biao fall asleep again, said a few words softly, and walked outside.

At this time, Cai Mao had been transferred back by Liu Biao, and after falling ill, Cai Mao's affairs in Xiangyang were basically handled and responsible for by Cai Mao.

Cai Mao happened to come over, saw Liu Cong come out, understood that Liu Biao was asleep again, and frowned: "I just got the news, Xinye was broken, Cao Cao continued to go south, what does the second son think?" ”

Liu Cong took him to the study, and then said: "Uncle, we Jingzhou, if we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to hold it, and when the city of Xiangyang is broken, we will either die, or we can only flee to the south." ”

"What are you going to do?"

Cai Mao asked.

"Shall we surrender?"

Liu Cong thought for a while and said: "Father is like this, it shouldn't be long before he lives, as soon as he dies, we can't hold Xiangyang, even if we flee south, Cao Cao will not let us go, surrender may be the best choice, but my eldest brother ......"

Liu Qi definitely does not want to surrender and will definitely resist to the end.

"Liu Qi, you can't stay!"

Cai Mao also agreed to surrender, and said coldly: "Since he wants to resist to the end, we will let him resist Cao Cao, and then join forces with Cao Cao and kill him on the battlefield, and then we can lead Xiangyang and surrender Cao Cao, in fact, we will also return to the imperial court!" ”

Cai Mao has long thought about surrender, but she hasn't proposed it yet.

Now it was Liu Cong who took the initiative, and they hit it off and felt that it was feasible.

"Then do it!"

Liu Cong was also a ruthless person, narrowed his eyes and said: "The doctor said that my father can live for a few more days at most, and he can prepare now, and when he dies, the whole Jingzhou will be our final say." ”

"I know how to do it."

Cai Mao nodded slightly and went out directly to make arrangements.

——

Shinno.

At this time, there was no more fire to burn Xinye, and the burning of Bowangpo did not exist, Cao Cao successfully captured here, and by the way, he sent people out again, leveled Nanyang, and continued to go south, which is Xiangyang.

If Xiangyang is taken, Jingzhou will take most of it.

"I heard that Liu Biao was seriously ill, and in Xiangyang City, Liu Qi and Liu Cong fought with each other in order to fight for power."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Help me this day!" ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations to the lord!" ”

Several other strategists also smiled, thinking that Xiangyang would be a hard bone, difficult to gnaw on, difficult to attack, and now that this kind of thing is happening, it is indeed like God's help.

"Who's going to stand against us next?"

Cao Cao said again.

Chen Qun said: "According to the news of the scout, it is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao. ”

As soon as these words fell, before Cao Cao could respond, a soldier hurriedly walked in and said, "Lord, there is a letter sent by Cai Mao. ”

Cao Cao took it, opened it and looked at it for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "Cai Mao said that Liu Cong was willing to lead Jingzhou and return to the imperial court, but Liu Qi was unwilling to surrender, led his troops north, and resisted stubbornly. ”

"It's a good trick to kill people with a knife."

Xi Zhong said suddenly: "Cai Mao wants to borrow our knife and kill Liu Qi." ”

Cao Cao said lightly: "I will lend him this knife, and I am ready to take over Jingzhou!" ”
