The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 226

Play the big tent of Khan Mountain.

Fu Luohan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, compared to the invasion by the Han army, I am more worried that Kebi will plot against us! Before that, he secretly instigated many of our tribes and clansmen."

"Otherwise, after these few winters, our troops will not be reduced to only 70 million!"

"On the other hand, many members of his Kirby Department also died due to the severe cold, but the population has not decreased but increased!"

"I propose that our two departments jointly send troops to ask Budugen for an explanation, and by the way, bring back all the clansmen who were taken away by him!"


After all, seeing that Bu Dugen was silent for a long time, Fu Luohan raised his voice and shouted:
"Hey, third brother, what are you talking about! Don't tell me you want to watch all the members of our tribe being snatched away by Kirby?"

Hearing this, Bu Dugen came back to his senses, looked around the crowd, and finally fell on Fu Luohan's face, spread his hands and said:

"Brother, of course the people of the tribe cannot be robbed, but Kebineng's tribe is stronger than ours. If we rashly raise troops to attack him, let alone the uncertainty of the outcome, wouldn't it mean that the Han court would be defeated once the civil war started?" The opportunity to take our Xianbei tribe to the ground. In my opinion, it is better to endure it first, and then make a fuss."


"What else is there to endure?"

"He has bullied us!"

Fu Luohan waved his hand excitedly, with a rather dissatisfied expression, but he did not insist on starting a war with Kirby.


After a while, he looked at Budugen and asked, "Third brother, what shall we do next?"

Bu Dugen pondered: "I have nothing to do, but Kirby will be in trouble this time. Whether he can survive this difficulty depends on whether the God of the Grassland will care about him."

"What does this mean?"

Fu Luohan glanced at his cronies and asked in confusion.


Bu Dugen explained: "Yuan She hated the Hu people very much in his life. The Eastern Qiang, the Southern Huns, and the three tribes of Wuhuan have been exterminated and moved inwards in the past 20 years. Now, the entire We Xianbei people are left in the north."

"We Xianbei people can live peacefully until now, not because we are more powerful than Wuhuan or Southern Xiongnu, but because we are farther away from the Han than they are."


"Therefore, the actions of our three Xianbei tribes to plunder the Han Dynasty will definitely lead to revenge from Yuan She."

"Although he hasn't done anything until now, I have a strong feeling that no one will be spared from this incident!"

"For the current plan, if we don't want to escape to Mobei, we should consider retreating earlier."

Because of the thorough study of Cheng Yuanzhi's character, Bu Dugen knew that this time Kebi would be in serious trouble, and even the tribe of himself and his brother Fu Luohan couldn't stay out of it.

This is what he deduced from Cheng Yuanzhi's rush back from Jiangdong after he learned that the three tribes of Xianbei had plundered the Han territory.

If you don't choose to burn everything together, and you don't want to escape to Mobei, there is only one way left.

Move inland, accept rule and Chineseization.

Hearing this, everyone in the big tent fell silent.

a long time.

Fu Luohan said with a hoarse voice, "What are you going to do, third brother?"

Bu Dugen sighed, "The winter is getting colder and colder now, and fleeing to the north is a dead end, and if you go to the west, there are only neighbors and deserts, and there are grasslands until thousands of miles away, but according to people who have been there The tribe said that the winter there is as cold as this."

"Second brother, we actually have no choice..."


"After all, the Han Empire is too powerful."

Fu Luohan came to a sudden: "Then the third brother is planning to join the big man?"

Bu Dugen nodded: "It doesn't matter what I say alone, why don't everyone vote, those who agree to go to the big man raise their hands, and those who oppose it don't."

After saying that, Bu Dugen raised his hand first.

His cronies then raised their hands.

The winter on the grassland is too hard, they yearn for the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Han Empire, and the warm climate.

More importantly, after defecting to the big man, he can survive!

Previously, every cold morning spent on the grassland, people of the tribe would die silently in tents, in the wild, or in moments of being caught off guard.

At first, only some elderly people died, but later, even middle-aged people with weak health also died one after another.

Afterwards, as the severe cold continued, children, cattle, sheep, and horses also died.

They've had enough of this frightening life of belching sudden farts without knowing when!
Bu Dugen looked expectantly at his second brother Fu Luohan and his cronies.


They also slowly raised their hands.

Fu Luohan thought for a while, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Although this is not good, there is no better way right now."

"Survival is the most important thing. We don't want to imitate Kirbineng and risk the lives of the entire clan to anger the Han Empire. We can't bear the consequences."

"In fact, even within the Han Empire, as long as we don't forget the Xianbei language and customs while speaking Chinese, no matter how many years later, we will still be Xianbei people!"

"We can come back when the grassland is not so cold!"

"Great!" Budugen stood up suddenly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

He considered the idea of ​​taking refuge in the big man for a long time, but he never said it out because he was not sure that he could convince his brother's tribe.

But I didn't expect things to go surprisingly smoothly!
Bu Dugen raised his hands and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "For the sake of the tribe, we should immediately gather all the tribesmen and go south. As long as our tribe is immortal, one day we will be able to return to the grassland and regain the glory of Lord Tanshihuai. !”

Everyone looked fanatical and responded in unison: "For the tribe! Reproduce the glory of Master Tan Shihuai!"


Tan Shihuai is not only the grandfather of Fuluohan and Budugen, but also the hero and belief of all Xianbei people.

When Tanshihuai was mentioned, all the Xianbei people's eyes would shine with fanaticism.

……

Daijun, Dudu Mansion.

After reading the letter from Cheng Yuanzhi, Wang Xiong, the Governor of Youxi, pondered for a while, and ordered the guards standing by:

"Go and call Han Long."

The personal guard took the order and left.

In a short while, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with bright eyes and a strong body came quickly, bowed and saluted:

"Meet the governor!"

Wang Xiong waved his hand to push away the crowd, leaving Han Long alone, and gave him earnest instructions.

Han Long nodded frequently.

Not long after, Han Long expressed his eagerness to try, and left with his fists clenched.

From this day on, no one in the governor's mansion saw Han Long again.

……

Yecheng Prime Minister's Mansion, the backyard.

Cheng Yuanzhi stood with his back facing the sun, looked at Tian Feng who was standing with his hands down, and said with a smile, "Yuan Hao, it has been 11 years since you became the prefect of Shangdang. How have you improved in these years?"

Tian Feng bowed his head and answered, "Which aspect is the Prime Minister referring to?"

Cheng Yuanzhi said: "Every aspect!"

Tian Feng bowed his head in silence, his face was a little decadent, and his expression was very dissatisfied.

In the first five years of these 11 years, he swung back and forth between the positions of Shangdang prefect and eldest son city magistrate, with three ups and downs.

In the next six years, half of the time was spent in prison, and half of the time was idle. The salary was paid, but there was nothing to do.

For someone with no skills, this kind of treatment is naturally excellent. Who doesn't like fishing with a high salary?

But it would be a humiliation to replace this treatment with Tian Feng.

No wonder he can be convinced!
Isn't he just speaking a little bluntly, and loves to contradict the Lord.Could it be that the master doesn't even have such a heart?
Cheng Yuanzhi smiled slightly: "It's not that I can't tolerate you speaking out, but I can't stand your way of acting in the opposite direction."

Seeing that Tian Feng was still puzzled, Cheng Yuanzhi had no choice but to patiently explain: "At the beginning, the Central Plains was undecided, Xiliang was not peaceful, there were tigers in the north, and there were Lu, Liu, Yuan, and Sun in the south. I took every step carefully. , but you often jump out and sing the opposite tune, shaking the morale of the army. How dare I keep you in front of me?"

Tian Feng pouted his neck and said: "Why don't you dare, since the prime minister doesn't listen to me, wouldn't it prove that the prime minister has a broad mind by keeping me in front of him."

Cheng Yuanzhi laughed in surprise: "It makes sense."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Yuan Hao, let's go into the gazebo and talk. I want to hear your opinion on Ke Bineng."

The two of them stepped into the gazebo, but before they could sit down, a soldier came to report:

"Budugen and Fuluohan led their troops to surrender! Now all the troops have arrived outside the city of Taiyuan."


Cheng Yuanzhi took the surrender table, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he said to Tian Feng beside him: "Yuan Hao, is this surrender credible?"

Tian Feng entered the role of a counselor in an instant, and pondered: "In recent years, it has been severe cold outside the Great Wall, and the population of Xianbei has dropped sharply. This time it is a last resort."

"Xianbei has lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, and the people are far away. They come to surrender today, and rebel tomorrow. They are capricious. Only by getting rid of their ethnicity and obeying their will can they really be used by me."

Cheng Yuanzhi took it seriously, nodded and said: "Yuan Hao's words are reasonable, so can he surrender?"

Tian Feng said: "It can be surrendered!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Sugai who was practicing martial arts not far away, and wondered: "According to the past temperament of the prime minister, troops should have been sent to sweep the three Xianbei at this time. Why haven't soldiers gathered yet?"

Cheng Yuanzhi sighed: "You can't solve everything by resorting to military force. Don't you know that no matter how big a country is, it will die if it is warlike. It is the best policy to subdue other people's troops without fighting."

Tian Feng frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Feng can't see through the prime minister's trick."

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't want to reveal the assassination plan in advance, so he smiled slightly: "You will know in a few days."

Tian Feng nodded, the decadence on his face dissipated little by little, and he became energetic again.
