The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 225

When the warm spring breeze slowly blows into the outside of the Great Wall, and finally blows a piece of green on the grassland around the Western Xianbei Royal Court, it is already April of the 11th year of Jian'an (206).

The Xianbei people survived another severe winter.

The turquoise spreads from the south and extends to the north at an extremely fast speed. Xianbei women walked out of the tents in groups, holding shovels in their hands and carrying wooden baskets on their shoulders, collecting the remaining withered grass roots on the ground, pieces of frozen grass Horse dung, cow dung.

These are rare fuels.

The Xianbei people didn't know that it was in the Little Ice Age at this time. They only felt that the grassland was getting colder every year, the winter was getting longer and longer, and the days were getting more and more difficult.

Many times, they are thinking about the same question: Is the grassland no longer suitable for survival?
If the grassland can't accommodate them, where should they go?
Migrating south is too dangerous!
After more than ten years of chaos in the Han Empire, the Central Plains and the North have been unified.At this time, the Han Empire had strong soldiers and strong horses, which belonged to the existence that the Xianbei people could not afford to mess with.

If it weren't for the lack of food, they would never dare to go south to plunder.

Because the leader of the Han Dynasty (Cheng Yuanzhi) is a person who hates the Hu people very much. The words he often talks about are: "Anyone who offends our Han people will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

How could Xianbei dare to provoke such a person?

But in the face of an irresistible natural disaster, the Xianbei people had no choice.

Either be frozen to death or starve to death in the grassland; or go south to plunder and survive the difficulties of life.


Danhan Mountain, the holy land of the Xianbei people, is where the royal court of Chanyu is located.


The mountain is bare, and there are countless tents stationed in the flat ground under the mountain depression. Among them, there is the most magnificent, largest and tallest tent, standing in the most central position.


The big tent was overcrowded at this time, there were 40 to [-] people gathered.


Budugen, the leader of the Xianbei, who was in his 30s, was sitting in the main seat. Looking around, his elder brother Fu Luohan and seven or eight cronies were sitting on the left side, and his cronies were all on the right side.

After Tan Shihuai's death, nearly 300 million Xianbei people split into three tribes, led by six chiefs and [-] adults, distributed on the long border from Bingzhou to the north of Youzhou.

At this time, Xixianbei, which lived near Shanyu Wangting, had long lost its former glory. After several years of continuous severe cold, a large number of people under its jurisdiction died, and the population dropped from one million to 70 to [-].

The other two Xianbei films are not much better.

When the survival of the tribe was threatened, the Xianbei people could only choose to rob the south and pass on the disaster of their own tribe to the Han people.

Bu Dugen was relatively pro-Han, and he didn't have too much ambition. When his subordinates robbed big men, their methods were relatively mild. They only robbed food and supplies, and they would not kill Han people randomly unless necessary.

At the beginning, Bu Dugen, who thought he was very gentle, was not worried that this move would provoke revenge from the Han Empire.

But Bu Dugen panicked after learning what Kobe had gained from going south this time!
The Kirby Neng tribe is located in Daijun, Youzhou, to the north of Shanggu. Their tribe is the most ferocious tribe in the southward robbery.In the places where Kirby Nobu invaded, the elderly, children, and adult men of the Han people were all killed, and everything that could be looted was taken away.

including women.

Kebineng's ideal has always been to reproduce the glory of Tan Shihuai in the past, to dominate Xianbei, and to shock the world. Xianbei people can grab wherever they want!
This is consistent with his usual style.

This made Bu Dugen anxious.He knew that Cheng Yuanzhi was by no means a good stubble.Therefore, after learning what Kirby Nobu was doing, he quickly asked his brother Fu Luohan to discuss countermeasures.

"Second brother, do you think the prime minister will send troops to attack us?"

Fu Luohan took a sip of kumiss, shook his head and said, "When our tribe went south, except for "borrowing" food, there were almost no casualties among the Han people. The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty would never attack us."

"However, whether they will attack Kirby Nobu...that is unknown."

After a pause, Fu Luohan said worriedly: "In the past few years, the grassland has been getting colder and colder every year. Our cattle, sheep, and tribesmen have died of freezing. Many tribes can't survive, so they start to go Migrating thousands of miles to the west, the population of the tribe has decreased a lot. If we can’t figure out any countermeasures, our tribe will gradually perish..."

"Second brother, I know all these difficulties, the most urgent thing is to eliminate the danger from the Han Empire."


Bu Dugen waved his hand, indicating that things are prioritized.

The robbery three months ago is the problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Fu Luohan nodded, pointed to the outside of the tent and said: "In fact, the Han army's threat to us is limited. They have fewer soldiers and horses coming, which is useless; more soldiers and horses are coming, and we can flee far away in Mobei."

At this time, a close friend of Fu Luohan said: "But the winter in Mobei is even colder. If we get there, it only takes one winter, and all the cattle, sheep and horses will be frozen to death."

Kirby fell into deep thought with a solemn expression.

During the period after the robbery, he was always uneasy, and always had nightmares at night. In his dreams, the Han army all over the field held up shining big knives and killed the Xianbei people wantonly.

That scene was chilling.

At the same time, Yecheng, Hebei, the back hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guo Jia looked at the map beyond the Great Wall, which was so simple that it couldn't be simpler. After a while of careful analysis, he coughed and said, "Prime Minister, cough...Xianbei is too powerful to control...cough...Jiaji is poor."


The Xianbei people live on the grassland in a scattered tribe, forming a loose but organized alliance. The most important point is that everyone in the Xianbei is good at riding, has strong combat effectiveness, and is very alert. Ran.

It can't be defeated, it can't be killed, and if you are not careful, you will be backlashed.

Cheng Yuanzhi deeply believed that although the Hu problem was difficult to eradicate, it must be eradicated, otherwise there would be no peace in the northern territory in the future.

Thinking about this, he confessed to Guo Jia: "Three parts of Wuhuanli, Kobineng is the biggest threat. He has the ambition to annex the other two parts, especially Budu Gen. He keeps making small moves secretly. See if you can Do something from here?"


Hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he pondered: "Even if we have cavalry, limited by the map and the Xianbei's strategy of running away if they can't beat them, we can't completely pacify the grassland. Unless..."

"Unless the thief is captured first!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia changed his voice: "Prime Minister, do you still remember Wang Xiong, the governor of Youxi?"

"Wang Xiong?"

Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly realized.

Wang Xiong made his fortune because he captured Liu He alive, and was appointed by Cheng Yuanzhi as the Governor of Youxi.

Guo Jia continued: "In the three parts of Xianbei, the Kebi Neng department is the most vicious, and should be dealt with first. If you want to solve Kebi Neng, why don't the prime minister ask Wang Xiong's opinion!"


Hearing this, Cheng Yuanzhi's scalp tingled.

Because Guo Jia has implicitly given a plan to solve Kirbineng...

Assassination!

Don't look at Kirby's energy department is very arrogant now, he has robbed the big man several times, and defeated Wang Xiong who went to crusade several times.

But if Kebi can be assassinated, his tribe will immediately become a mess, vulnerable to a single blow, and instantly annihilated under the bow and arrows of the Han army.

What a vicious strategy...

I like!

After thinking for a while, Cheng Yuanzhi decided to use this strategy and shouted outside the door: "Come here."


A guard came in.


Cheng Yuanzhi wrote five words on the secret letter, pretended it and handed it to the soldiers, and ordered: "Go to Daijun immediately, and hand this letter to Wang Xiong, so that he can act as he sees fit."


The personal guard took the letter, complied with the promise, turned around and left quickly.


Guo Jia glanced at Su Gai, who was dozing aside, and said to Cheng Yuanzhi, "Jia resigns."

Cheng Yuanzhi walked up to Guo Jia, held his hand, and told him, "Be filial and take care of yourself."

Guo Jia was greatly moved when he heard the words, and while saluting, he stepped backwards out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
