The method of nomadic people relying on the Central Plains.

There are only two.

The first is trade.

Everyone is harmonious and brings wealth, and they communicate with each other.

There is agriculture in the Central Plains, which can grow grains, while there are cattle and sheep in the grassland. People in the Central Plains eat too many grains and grains, and they also want to change their tastes and occasionally eat meat.

So the transaction can be reached.

The second is robbery.

In the event of an agreement, or the grassland nomadic people cannot come up with something that can attract people from the Central Plains, they will not sit and watch themselves starve to death, so they can only use violent means.

Therefore, if you look at history, you can find a rule.

It is the Central Plains region, the more chaotic it is, the more fierce the nomadic invasion it is.

For example, during the Warring States Period, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, etc.

This has nothing to do with whether the Central Plains is strong or not.

During the Warring States Period, the State of Zhao was also very powerful and defeated the Huns many times, but the Huns continued to come, and there were more people at once.

This is not because they are not afraid of the power of the Central Plains dynasty, but because they want to survive.

If there is a unified dynasty in the Central Plains, both sides can also engage in peaceful trade.

And without a unified dynasty, trade will be difficult to do.

Just like now, the Central Plains dynasty is divided into three countries, the original Han court, the Han Dynasty of Liu Zheng, and the pseudo-Han Dynasty of Yuan Shao, who is on the verge of collapse.

It is precisely because of such chaotic times that the Xianbei and Wuhuan people were unable to sign a consistent peaceful trade treaty with the Central Plains dynasty.

In this way, they will not be able to exchange for the food, cloth and other daily necessities they need for survival.

Therefore, "Book of Han, Biography of the Xiongnu" once recorded.

When the two sides exchanged trade, they were from the Xiongnu Khan, and they were close to Han and went to and from the Great Wall.

This means that in the entire Huns, except for the Shanyu, everyone else liked the Han Dynasty very much. They often went around the Great Wall to trade with the Han people. They used cattle and sheep to exchange for grain cloths, and even salt and iron.

But what is interesting is that this scene of everyone being happy was the Xiongnu Khan who was unhappy.

Why were the Huns and Khans unhappy?

Why did the Xiongnu Khan not like the Han Dynasty?

The reason is actually very simple.

The regime system of nomadic peoples is different from that of the Central Plains dynasty.

The emperor of the Central Plains dynasty is the king of a country, and the entire country belongs to the emperor.

The political status of the nomadic Shanyu was basically determined by his military role.

Because of military combat, a unified commander is needed. Once the nomadic peoples are threatened by military forces, their Shanyu have absolute power.

On the contrary, when military demand decreases and everyone lives in peace, nomadic peoples that exist in tribal situations will not catch a cold about the identity of Shanyu.

It is more willing to let the leaders of each tribe.

The leaders of each tribe began to act on their own, and the status of the Shanyu naturally became lower.

Therefore, in peacetime, everyone was happy, but only the Shanyu was unhappy.

Therefore, people who became Shanyu always like to do something.

For example, Maodun Shanyu during the Qin and Han dynasties not only dared to commit such feat as besieging Liu Bang, but also dared to tease Liu Bang's wife Empress Lu.

The purpose is nothing more than to make enemies so that the Huns and the Han Dynasty are not so peaceful.

Therefore, nomadic regimes such as the Huns and Turks have little use to them for their fertile trade policies.

In the early Han Dynasty, they often married the Huns, but they were useless. Such a marriage method could only maintain a short-term peace, and they would still often go south to rob.

In this situation, it was not until the emergence of the Liao Dynasty that the Song and Liao dynasties could maintain a century of peace.

Because the political structure of the Liao Dynasty was completely different from that of the Huns and the Turks.

Later, the nomadic peoples actually did not rely entirely on the Central Plains people. In addition to doing trade with the Central Plains dynasty in the south, they were able to trade to the west.

Therefore, the demand for the Central Plains has been reduced.

Now, in the era in which Liu Zheng lived, the nomadic peoples in the north basically had to rely on the Central Plains dynasty if they wanted to have enough food.

This is why, every two or three years, the north is just robbed by these nomadic peoples.

Two years ago, these nomadic peoples were able to trade with Yuan Shao and trade some materials.

But now, Yuan Shao is dead, and the Yuan brothers are fighting and dead, and there is no effective unity.

Yuan Xi himself occupied only one Youzhou, and most of this Youzhou had been occupied by the Wuwan people.

This made the Wuwan people and the Xianbei people a little difficult.

They naturally wanted to seek cooperation with Liu Zheng or even Liu Bei, but both sides had a tough attitude and had no good impression of the nomadic peoples.

Liu Bei was closer to the Xiongnu people, and he had little friendship with the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people. Because of Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and the Wuhuan people still had some hatred.

Liu Zheng has always had no good feelings for these nomadic people, so he has no good feelings for nomadic people.

If it weren't for his territory that did not have borders on these nomadic peoples, I was afraid that Liu Zheng would have led his troops to the tribes of these nomadic peoples long ago.

If you look at it this way, it is also possible to imagine that these nomadic peoples will unite and launch an attack on Liu Zheng's side.

Another day.

Xu Huang's army and more than 10,000 cavalrymen came to Xindu and joined Liu Zheng's troops.

Although Xu Huang's men came, Xu Huang only had more than 10,000 cavalrymen and did not have much effect.

Even if Xu Huang was asked to leave the city to fight these Wuhuan people, more than 10,000 cavalry would not be able to repel the tens of thousands of troops of these Wuhuan people.

Liu Zheng still had to wait, waiting for Wen Pin's soldiers to come.

And we must quickly use the war elephant troops to give these Wuhuan people some colors in one fell swoop.

However, from Xu Huang's arrival, Liu Zheng and others knew that Wen Pin's men were not far from Xin.

Time is tight, and they don’t need to wait for Wenpin’s army to arrive before fighting with these Xianbei people.

Wenpin's army came, and it was the trump card that directly damaged these Xianbei people. Before that, Liu Zheng planned to let his cavalry team start a test first.

Let’s see what these Xianbei people have.

evening.

The scorching sun extinguished his power, and the afterglow had not yet dissipated.

The gate of Xindu City is open.

Liu Zheng climbed the city tower, and Xu Huang led 10,000 cavalry to rush out of the city.
