Chapter 1030: Discussing the strengths and weaknesses of various grassland tribes
Liu Yu laughed: "No wonder this Tuyuhun sounds so familiar. It turns out to be Tuyuhun from Hehuang. Now I know. Speaking of their neighbors, the Bald Hair Tribe in Liangzhou seems to be a branch of the Tuoba clan in Xianbei.
, it was a certain brother who settled in Liangzhou after the family separation and changed his name to Tufa. This is not just your family, it seems that even Xianbei has this tradition of brother separation."
Murong Lan nodded: "The five tribes of your Han people are between the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren. The same is true for our grasslands. Such divisions within three generations are called close relatives tribes. For example, those who are divided from the Tuoba family are called Ba
When the tribes such as the Ba tribe and the Shusun tribe became strong and powerful, some of them were appointed as lords in the central region, some as lords in the south, and some as lords in the north, as a helping hand."
"In addition to these closely related tribes, there are also marriage relationships. For example, the Dugu tribe and the Helan tribe are directly married to the princess of the Tuoba clan, or they are married to the Khan Dang Kehe Dun, who is the queen of your Han people.
In-laws from past generations usually find those tribes with strong strength and military strength. This kind of in-laws plus the close relatives tribes ensure that their strength and number are far greater than those of Tiefu's servant tribes. Even Tiefu's own tribe is no match.
"
"So every time there was a fight, the Tuoba clan and the Dugu clan's tribal coalition forces could always directly defeat the Tiefu tribe's servant vanguard, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and disrupt Tiefu's central army. Therefore, although the Tiefu Xiongnu were ferocious,
But in the fight with the Monan tribe, we lost more than we won, and we have not been able to recapture the Monan grassland after so many years."
Liu Yu frowned: "But the separation of brothers has been a tradition in the grasslands for many years. The Xianbei people know it, so don't the Huns know it? I remember that the Huns also used to let their brothers be the king of the left and the king of the right.
King or something, isn’t Liu Weichen’s ancestor Liu Qubei the brother of Yufuluo Shanyu? Isn’t this how the family is divided?”
Murong Lan smiled and said: "You are talking about the Xiongnu in the past. They had this tradition in the early years, and the Xianbei people also learned from them. However, because of this tradition of family separation, the Xiongnu later lost their country and exterminated their nation. In the late Han Dynasty, the Five Shanyus fought in melee.
In the end, the Xiongnu Khanate was destroyed, and after the remaining southern Xiongnu entered the fortress, they forcibly divided Cao Cao into five tribes, and divided the brothers of Shanyu into separate tribes, so that they could not form a joint force. This is why Liu Qubei divided his family.
After leaving the fortress, for the Xiongnu, the pain of this kind of separation was far greater than the sweet memories. Therefore, after the Tiefu tribe arrived at the Hetao Grassland, they did not separate their families. Instead, they relied on their strong military power to conquer and rule other small tribes.
tribe."
"Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Xiongnu went south for hundreds of years and lost their roots on the grassland. Without Monan, there are no large and fertile pastures to share with brothers. In the entrepreneurial stage, it is a more suitable choice to unite to conquer the world.
, if the family division is also done in Hetao, it may be defeated and annexed by other small tribes. In any case, Liu Weichen is also the overlord of Heshuo now, and is regarded as the last Xiongnu Chanyu, and he can be regarded as the overlord of one side."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "I basically understand the situation in Heshuo. With Liu Weichen's current strength, it is impossible for him to enter the Central Plains. His eyes will only be on Monan. If Tuoba Si rebuilds the Dai Kingdom, he will be more
There will be no chance. After all, the current Dugu tribe has an unfair reputation. If he attacks Liu Xian, he might still have a chance."
Murong Lan shook his head: "The chance is not high. The Dugu tribe itself was a southern leader during the Dai Dynasty and was very powerful. Liu Kuren also had multiple marriages with other powerful tribes, such as the Helan tribe and the Yifu tribe. For example,
Liu Xian's younger brother Liu Kangni's wife was the sister of Tuoba Si's biological father Tuoba Yan, and Liu Xian himself had heard over the years that he coveted the beauty of Tuoba Si's mother, Helan, and attempted to seize, perhaps,
He must have taken a fancy to the powerful strength of the Helan tribe."
Liu Yu frowned: "How strong is the Helan tribe? Is it second only to the Dugu tribe?"
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, in the Monan Grassland now, the most powerful one is of course the Dugu tribe with 50,000 to 60,000 string-controlling men, followed by the Helan tribe with 40,000 cavalry. In addition,
The Baba Tribe and the Shusun Tribe, the closely related tribes that the Tuoba Tribe separated from back then, also have the strength of 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry. Liu Weichen's Tiefu Tribe has 38,000 cavalry and can deal with the Dugu Tribe, Helan Tribe and others alone.
The tribe does not suffer a loss, but when they join forces, they are no match for us."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "But he has no good way to alienate the various tribes in Monan. Aiqin, you said that if you were Tuoba Si and temporarily stayed with the Dugu tribe, and then escaped when Liu Xian wanted to attack you, you could summon all the tribes.
, who will come to seek refuge?"
Murong Lan said calmly: "If nothing else, the Helan clan will definitely side with the Tuoba clan. The marriage between the Helan clan and the Tuoba clan has a history of hundreds of years. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a civil war in the Central Plains.
The Tuoba Tribe also had internal conflicts. It was the Helan Tribe who resolutely supported the Tuoba Shi Yijian branch and made them the monarchs of Dai. In terms of their relationship with the Tuoba royal family, they even surpassed that of Dugu.
The Helan tribe lived close to the north of western Liaoning and were not in Monan. Therefore, they are not as powerful as the Dugu tribe, but they are more independent. The tribes on the grasslands of western Liaoning such as He Tu Nei, He
Xi and other tribes all recognize him as the sect master. Once the Helan tribe responds to Tuoba Si, at least Tuoba Si’s strength will not be weaker than that of Dugu tribe.”
Liu Yu sighed: "You said before that Liu Xian has always had a crush on Tuoba Si's mother and wanted to accept her. Even you know this, but the Helan family has been staying in the Dugu tribe. I'm afraid it's because of her early death."
It was a planned thing. Once Liu Xian wanted to attack her son, she could let Tuoba Si escape, and Liu Xian would definitely be angry with her. Whether it was killing or humiliating, he would make a grudge against the Helan tribe and firmly stand by his son.
Confidence on this side. It seems that the Helan family and their son have long had plans for the restoration of the country. Even the death of Liu Kuren, I have a vague feeling that it is closely related to this mother and son."
Murong Lan listened intently for a long time before sighing: "Brother Wolf, when did you understand people's hearts so well? From what you said, this is really what happened."
Liu Yu sneered: "People in this world are all the same in terms of their people's hearts and tactics. I think that before Tuoba Si returned to the Dugu tribe, he must have sent his confidants to secretly contact the Baba tribe. Those in the Shusun tribe are really reliable."
If Liu Xian is provoked to attack him, he will quickly flee to the Helan tribe. As long as the Helan tribe raises troops, all tribes will definitely respond. By then, the Dugu tribe's rule over the grassland will soon come to an end."
Murong Lan smiled and said: "Then what else should we do? It sounds like we don't need it anymore."
Liu Yu began to put on his clothes: "Let's go to Dugu Department quickly. I think Tuoba Si will need us when he escapes. Moreover, I dare to assert that your good nephews
, I will never let go of this opportunity to establish friendship with Tuoba Si!"
