Chapter 593

The Xianbei leader who spoke was named Tuoba Liwei, a leader of the Xianbei tribe.

The Xianbei people originated from the Donghu people and are distributed in northern China. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Donghu people were defeated by the Huns Maodun Shanyu and divided into two tribes. They retreated to the Wuhuan Mountains and the Xianbei Mountains, and both took the name of the mountain as their clan name, forming the Wuhuan tribe.

The Xianbei people were enslaved by the Xiongnu. Therefore, the customs and habits of the Xianbei people are similar to those of Wuhuan and Xiongnu.

For a long time, the Xianbei people, who were vassals of the Huns, basically played the role of thugs for the Huns, or cannon fodder for the Huns. It was not until the split of the northern and southern Huns that the Xianbei people gradually became stronger and replaced the northern Xiongnu as the dominant force in the desert.

Master of the prairie.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a strong man named Tan Shihuai appeared in the Xianbei tribe. He unified the Xianbei tribes and divided the territory into three parts: the east from Beiping to the east, the middle from Beiping to Shanggu, and the west to the west of Shanggu. Three.

Each of the tribes was under the management of adults, directly under Tan Shihuai. Under his commander-in-chief, "because they raided the margins in the south, rejected Dingling in the north, captured the rest of the population in the east, and attacked Wusun in the west, they completely occupied the Xiongnu's homeland, covering more than 10,000 miles from east to west and from north to south.

It is more than seven thousand miles away, the territory is vast and extremely powerful.

In order to eliminate the threat of the Xianbei people, Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty ordered the Wuhuan captain Xia Yu to protect Xia Yu, the Xianbei Zhonglang general Tian Yan, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zang Ge to lead more than 10,000 cavalrymen from Gaoliu, Yunzhong County, and Yanmen County respectively.

They left the fortress and attacked Xianbei in three groups. The Han army marched more than 2,000 miles out of the fortress. Tan Shihuai, the leader of Xianbei, ordered the adults from the east, middle and west tribes to lead their troops to fight separately and defeated the Han army.

After Tan Shihuai's death, Xianbei split, western Xianbei rebelled, and Monan split into three groups from the east of Yunzhong: one is the Budugen Group, with tens of thousands of followers, occupying the Yunzhong and Yanmen areas, and the other is the Ke

The Bineng Group is distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places. The third is a number of small groups belonging to the original alliance's "Eastern Masters", scattered outside the Great Wall of Liaoxi, Youbeiping and Yuyang.

Among them, the Kebineng group was the most powerful. Kebineng was determined to unify Xianbei, so he showed respect to the newly established Cao Wei, presented horses to Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, and returned more than 500 Han families living in Xianbei to the Han Dynasty; he also "contacted with the Wei State"

"Mutual trade", and then sent more than a thousand families of Han people back to Shanggu and other places.

After maintaining good relations with Cao Wei, Kebineng began to annex other tribes, annexing various tribes in the eastern Xianbei, and then destroyed the Budu roots, unifying Monan, posing a threat to Cao Wei's border.

Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou in Cao Wei, sent the assassin Han Long to stab Kebineng to death. Xianbei began to "disperse tribes and conquer each other", and each Xianbei tribe entered a period of independent development.

The eastern Xianbei tribe formed three tribes: the Murong tribe, the Yuwen tribe, and the Duan tribe, occupying western Liaoning; the Tuoba tribe also moved south to Yunzhong under the leadership of Tuoba Liwei; the Tufa tribe also separated from the Tuoba tribe,

They moved from Saibei to Hexi; the Qifu tribe had already moved into Yongzhou and Liangzhou on a large scale in the late Wei Dynasty.

Tuoba Liwei was born in the second year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His father was Tuoba Jiefen, the leader of Suo Tou. After Tuoba Jiefen died, civil strife broke out in the tribe over inheritance rights. Tuoba Liwei was forced to flee and defected to Miu.

Sir Lu Huibu.

Dou Bin greatly appreciated Tuoba Liwei and betrothed his daughter to Tuoba Liwei as his wife, and Tuoba Liwei became Dou Bin's son-in-law.

The expansion has made many achievements.

Later, Dou Bin died and his son Suhou succeeded to the throne. Because Tuoba Liwei had outstanding achievements and was well-supported by others in the tribe, Suhou was deeply worried and plotted to get rid of Tuoba Liwei.

However, the news leaked out, and Tuoba Liwei decided to act first. He killed his wife, falsely claiming that she died suddenly of illness, and then tricked his two brothers-in-law into attending the funeral and secretly killed them.

Ba Liwei swallowed up all the tribes in the central part of northern Xianbei and became the most powerful branch of the Xianbei people, known as the 200,000 string-controlling people.

Tuoba Liwei has great ambitions. He not only has the idea of ​​dominating the grasslands and deserts, but also covets the Central Plains. Although he has never been to the Central Plains, this does not prevent him from learning about the Central Plains through various channels.

Prosperity and wealth.

After annexing the Luhui tribe and the central tribes, Tuoba Liwei moved the tribe's residence to Yunzhong.

Yunzhong is close to Yanmen and Daijun. Tuoba Li moved his tribe here slightly, and his ambition to get involved in the Central Plains was clearly revealed.

Ever since the Huns rebelled in Bingzhou, they have become so powerful that Tuoba Liwei can't help but feel itchy.

During Cao Cao's period, the Xianbei people were indeed afraid of being beaten. Especially after Ke Bineng, the Xianbei tribes were fearful of the Cao Wei regime and did not dare to easily disturb the Central Plains for more than ten years.

But this Xiongnu rebellion did indeed breed a small flame in Tuoba Liwei's heart.

Tuoba Liwei had great contempt for the Huns, and looked down upon them at all. In Tuoba Liwei's eyes, the Huns were just defeated generals. Nowadays, there are still many captured people among various Xianbei tribes.

The Huns were all their slaves. They did the dirtiest and most tiring work. If they didn't like it, they would kill and chop them into pieces whenever they wanted.

As for the Huns who fled south to Bingzhou, Tuoba Liwei regarded them as lost dogs. Even if they could make trouble in Bingzhou, it would be like a rabbit's tail.

Just when Tuoba Liwei was trying to make a move, there was a news spread on the grassland, that is, Cao Liang, the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou in Wei State, wildly said that he would not only annihilate the Xiongnu, but also go north to attack Xianbei and unify Monan.

Hearing this news, the Xianbei people in Suotou were extremely angry. The Wei people were really arrogant. They had not solved the Huns' rebellion yet, and they dared to challenge them, Xianbei. It was really unreasonable.

These leaders ran to Tuoba Liwei's tent and asked for a fight, hoping to teach Cao Liang, the governor of Bingzhou, who did not know the heights of the world.

This matter also played into Tuoba Liwei's plan. He had already intended to march, but he had no excuse and was afraid of opposition from other ministries. Now he has this matter as an excuse, whether it is true or not.

Any groundless rumors can be used as a reason for Tuoba Liwei to march into the Central Plains.

People are already shouting and protesting. If the Xianbei people don't show some courage and courage, they will be looked down upon.

So Tuoba raised an army of 100,000 men with only a small amount of force and marched towards Yanmen Pass to kill them.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of Yanmen Mountain, they encountered the Huns walking on foot. These people were in ragged clothes and looked like beggars. The leader of them, the Central Marshal Liu Jiao, actually dared to make a condition with him in such a brazen manner.

What a big joke. These Huns are, at best, slave material.
