Chapter 183 Inspecting States and Counties ([-])

Cao Ren still had to deal with Guan Yu, so he didn't have time to suppress the bandits himself, so he could only let Dongli Gun be responsible for catching the bandits.

With such chaos in Nanyang under the rule of Dongli Gun, it is naturally not suitable to continue to serve as the prefect. At this time, Cao Cao thought of Tian Yu who had just made a contribution, so he asked him to serve as the prefect of Nanyang to fight the fire.

Tian Yu handed over to Dong Li Gun. Dong Li Gun said that he had caught more than 500 thieves and believed that they should all be executed. This was also in line with the policy of Cao Ren, the general who conquered the South, but Tian Yu did not do so.

Tian Yu came to the prison to visit the prisoners in person, comforted them with good words, gave them a chance to reform, and released them all on the spot.

The prisoners who thought they would die were so moved that they kowtowed and volunteered to be Tian Yu's mouthpiece, telling each other and publicizing the new prefect's lenient policy.

Originally, these people were all ordinary people who were oppressed by corvee and had no choice but to revolt. Their demands were never high, and they followed Hou Yin and others to rebel because they were forced to survive.

Tian Yu opened a window for them, and these people were immediately grateful, and they came out of the mountains one after another, and went back to their homes. Since then, Nanyang has returned to calm. Tian Yu reported the situation truthfully, and Cao Cao was also very satisfied.

Whether directly or indirectly, the rebellion in Wancheng has the shadow of Guan Yu. Tian Yu came here to clean up the mess and manage the rear for Cao Ren. It can be seen that Cao Cao trusted Tian Yu.

However, Cao Cao trusted Tian Yu, so Cao Pi may not. Don't forget that Tian Yu's battle of fame was fought with Cao Zhang.

Tian Yu first followed Cao Zhang to quell the rebellion, and then went to Nanyang to quell the influence of the massacre for Cao Ren. These are all particularly outstanding and important contributions. If there is no accident, the probability of Tian Yu's promotion should be very high.

However, after Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, he immediately faced Guan Yu's Northern Expedition. Soon after the war ended, Cao Cao died in the first month of the 25th year of Jian'an.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, he thought that the time would come and go, but he didn't expect that the luck would come to an abrupt end. When Cao Pi ascended the throne, Tian Yu's promotion path would also be temporarily closed.

Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor in 220 A.D. Since the dynasty changed, the Central Plains dynasty must of course send people to spread the word to the surrounding ethnic minorities, asking them to respect the new dynasty as orthodox, and at the same time strengthen the security work in the border areas.

Therefore, Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei Dynasty, took Tian Yu as the guard of Wuhuan, and Qianzhao and Xie Jun as the guards of Xianbei. All three held festivals and were responsible for communicating with the northern nomads.

It can be seen from the simultaneous appointment of two captains protecting Xianbei that the Xianbei people were more powerful at that time. Although Tian Yu was named Captain Huwuhuan, his actual opponent was also a Xianbei, but the area under the jurisdiction of Qianzhao and Xiejun was different.

Tian Yu assisted Cao Zhang to defeat the Wuhuan rebels, and the backer of the Wuhuan rebels was Ke Bineng, the leader of Xianbei.

In order to annex other forces, Kebi Neng killed Fuluohan, the leader of another tribe, and supported Fuluohan's son Xie Guini as a puppet.

Bu Dugen, the younger brother of Fu Luohan, fought many times with Ke Bineng, and was defeated by Ke Bineng, so he retreated into Bingzhou and surrendered to Cao Wei.

Speaking of the northern border, Youzhou is far longer than Bingzhou, and the general guarding the border in Youzhou is Tian Yu.

After the Xianbei tribe north of Bingzhou was unified by Ke Bineng, the direction of Youzhou is not optimistic.

The vast desert to the north of Youzhou was mainly divided among the three chiefs Ke Bineng, Mijia, and Suli, and under the leadership of Ke Bineng, the three tribes reached an agreement to refuse to trade horses with Cao Wei.

This is an obvious threat signal. After decades of war, the power of the Central Plains Dynasty has been greatly reduced. If the Xianbei tribe is successfully integrated by Kebi at this time, it will become a powerful opponent of Cao Wei.

Tian Yu was aware of this, and used the strategy of alienation to provoke the relationship between the three tribes, making them suspicious of each other and even attacking each other.

The detailed history of Tian Yu's plot has not been preserved, but considering the bad past of Ke Bi Neng's assassination of Fu Luohan at the Hongmen Banquet, Mi Jia and Su Li should have no sense of trust in Ke Bi Neng.

In 222 A.D., the three tribes of Kebineng, Suli, and Budugen clashed. At this time, Tian Yu stepped forward to mediate and made the tribes stop fighting.

The Xianbei civil war was beneficial to Cao Wei, and Tian Yu's instigation played a role. Why did he come out to put out the fire at this time?This is where Tian Yu excels.

Blindly provoking can only make the Xianbei tribe fight among themselves, and it has no direct benefit to oneself. It is better to win over one side secretly, so that it will be more profitable for oneself to put a long line to catch big fish.

Bu Dugen was suppressed by Ke Bi Neng to the territory of Bingzhou, and he was pacified by other tricks. Ke Bi Neng was the strongest and only wanted to integrate the various ministries of Xianbei, so he could only be his opponent, so Tian Yu set his eyes on Su Li.

Su Li was not as strong as Ke Bineng, so of course he was willing to make friends with Cao Wei, so he quickly sold a thousand horses to Cao Wei's government.

This seriously violated the agreement of the three major tribes of Xianbei that they were not allowed to trade horses with Cao Wei, so they were retaliated by Ke Bineng. Su Li asked Tian Yu for help.

Tian Yu led his army into the hinterland of Xianbei and encountered Ke Bineng's army. Of course, the Xianbei people were mainly cavalry, so soon an army surrounded Tian Yu's rear and cut off his retreat.

But Tian Yu didn't panic, and led the army to fight and advance. After driving the Hu people back more than ten miles, he set up camp on the spot, as if he was in a protracted war.

When the scouts of the Hu people came to observe again, they found that the camp was full of fireworks, thinking that Tian Yu's troops were all inside, so they replied to the report, and the Xianbei army was not in a hurry to attack, and also made some repairs.

When the Xianbei people recovered their spirits and went outside the camp, they found that there was no one there. It turned out that Tian Yu had already sneaked away by another road.

Ke Bineng's army pursued to Macheng and surrounded Tian Yu tightly. Tian Yu ordered Sima to spread banners and lead an army to break out from the south gate with drums and gongs. Seeing this, the barbarians chased after him.

At this time, Tian Yu led the elite soldiers to fight out from the north gate, and surrounded Ke Bineng's army. Although Tian Yu had few soldiers, the Hu army was relatively loose. All over the field, there are not a few people who discarded their war bows and even their horses in a panic.

Suli surrendered to Cao Wei, and another leader, Mi Jia, also stood by Cao Wei, so Cao Pi named the two as King Guiyi. Later history books did not explain Mi Jia's deeds, but Suli will still appear, this is a later story.

The Xianbei tribe temporarily regained calm, and the Wuhuan people began to provoke troubles again. Tian Yu received news that the leader of Wuhuan, Gu Jin, was rebellious and seemed to have rebellious intentions.

Tian Yu only brought more than a hundred cavalry, and went to Gu Jin's tribe in the name of patrolling. He deserved it.

Although Tian Yu has been a civil servant for many years, judging from his past experience, his decisive personality can be seamlessly connected as a military general.

And because Tian Yu is from Youzhou, he has a deep understanding of the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other nomadic peoples, so he will not be soft when it is time to make a move.
