Chapter 337 Bingzhou Xianbei (Thanks to [Mercury's Masked Superman]
Ma Teng seemed to realize that he had let something slip, and immediately apologized to Lu Yan non-stop.
"This guy has always been mature and prudent, and he doesn't look like someone who can accidentally let slip something..." Lu Yan looked at Ma Teng, his thoughts changed, and he said to himself: "It seems that he came to my place on purpose to test Boss Cao's thoughts.
Already."
Sure enough, people who have lived a long life and become princes along the way are not fuel-efficient.
Although Ma Teng was a bit wavering, he was quite popular among the people both in Xiliang and Sanfu.
"Be prepared for barbarian bandits in the north, white cavalry in the east, wait for the talents to be promoted, and save the lives of the people with caution."
In general, what he did was still very loved by the people.
Moreover, Ma Teng can be regarded as a prince who is relatively loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he is also one of the only two forces in the Han Dynasty that is close to Cao Cao.
Ma Teng is also ambitious, but compared to Ma Chao, he knows how to exercise restraint.
Historically, Ma Teng and Han Sui had a falling out, and the two sides attacked each other for nearly ten years. In the end, Ma Teng fell into a disadvantage and had to seek refuge with Cao Cao. It was at that time that Ma Teng accepted the emperor's edict and entered Xuchang
Be an official.
However, Han Sui and Ma Teng have not yet reached the stage of separation, but they still need to be prepared for this matter.
Lu Yan felt that it was obviously safer to leave Ma Teng outside than to leave Ma Chao outside. At least Ma Teng would not rebel against Cao Cao for the sake of territory, and personally send his parents, wife, children, and members of the three tribes to Cao Cao's butcher's knife
Down...
As long as Ma Teng does not rebel, there will always be a force representing Cao Cao among the many forces in Xiliang, and the people in Xiliang will not be able to unite. When Cao Cao wants to annex Xiliang in the future, the difficulty will naturally decrease a lot.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan said to Ma Teng: "General Ma, this annexation of the state and the previous series of wars in Dongjun are all thanks to your and General Han's help. I hope your rewards will be distributed soon.
I hope that your Xiliang army can continue to serve the imperial court in the future."
Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately stood up and said, "Thank you Lu Qiaoqi, and thank you Prime Minister Cao!"
...
Xu Huang stayed in Huguan City, while Huang Zhong took Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao to Lu Yan's military camp.
When he entered the Chinese army's tent, Lu Yanzheng was reading the military information sent from Hedong County by the Shadow Guards alone.
Seeing Huang Zhong, Deng Sheng, and Xia Zhao come in, Lu Yan said with a smile: "The safety around Shangdang County will be in trouble for these two generals in the future!"
Lu Yan's words undoubtedly gave Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao some reassurance.
But they also remembered the incident where high-ranking officials were forced to serve as officials in Xuchang. Comparing this, they immediately understood, "Prime Minister Cao, oh no, it's the lord... It turns out that the lord was targeting only high-ranking officials!"
"
Thinking of this, Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao were determined and even a little excited, "The last general Deng Sheng (Xia Zhao) is willing to be the prime minister, and he will do his best to the imperial court, and he will not hesitate to die!"
"Very good..." Lu Yan still smiled and nodded, and continued: "You two have lived in Bingzhou for a long time, so you should be the most aware of the dangers of the alien races in the north. I want to know, what do you think of the alien races in the north?"
Seeing that winter is about to enter, the foreign tribes in the north are beginning to make moves. They may one day strike out at the people of Bingzhou again.
After Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao looked at each other, Deng Sheng said with a serious face: "Returning to Lu Hussar, I think that compared to the remnants of the Xiongnu, the few Wuhuan and Qiang people, and the Xianbei people entrenched in the north of Bingzhou, deserve the most attention.
!”
Speaking of Bingzhou Xianbei, Lu Yan could not help but think of a lot of information related to Bingzhou.
The Bingzhou Xianbei Tribe is commanded by Bu Dugen, and its base camp is located on the fertile grassland between the north of Bingzhou and Youzhou. If the Bingzhou Xianbei Tribe is stronger, they can attack Bingzhou from the south or attack the Youzhou Xianbei from the east.
Fortunately, the Xianbei tribe is not very powerful, so conquering Bingzhou and Youzhou is just a dream of their leaders for generations.
Xianbei once had a very great commander named Tan Shihuai. He was brave, strong, strategic, and full of hostility to the Han Dynasty. During the years when he led Xianbei, the Han border counties were repeatedly plundered by the Xianbei people.
Tanshihuai also followed the model of the Huns and divided each part of Xianbei into three parts: eastern, central and western, each with its own war zone.
The eastern Xianbei war zone includes: Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Xuantu, and Liaodong counties;
The war zone in central Xianbei includes: Yuyang, Shanggu, and two counties;
The western Xianbei War Zone includes Daijun, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and other counties.
Tanshihuai set up his royal court in Danhan Mountain, north of the Great Wall. This location is located at the intersection of the Yanshan Mountains and the Yinshan Mountains. It can easily send troops to the Hetao area, the Shanxi Plateau, and the North China Plain.
.
After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the Xianbei people who had completed their internal integration invaded Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Liangzhou every year. Not only the border counties in the northern Han Dynasty, but also the Fuyu people in the northeast and the Wusun people in the Tianshan area.
It was attacked by the Xianbei people. The whole situation was just like the Xiongnu Empire at its peak when the Han Dynasty was first established.
During the Tanshihuai period, the Xianbei Empire gradually became stronger, and even the Eastern Han Dynasty felt tremendous pressure.
At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty thought of restraining Tan Shihuai's ambitions by conferring a kingship and making a marriage alliance, but they were all rejected by Tan Shihuai. Subsequent tough military actions taken by the Eastern Han Dynasty against Xianbei also encountered repeated failures. West of Yanmen
The counties in Hetao have been completely reduced to Xianbei territory, and even the northern area of Yanmen County centered on Pingcheng has become Xianbei territory.
However, Xianbei, which was still growing vigorously, encountered a huge setback, which brought its development to an abrupt halt and then rapidly declined.
Because in 181 AD, Tan Shihuai died!
As soon as Tan Shihuai died, Xianbei immediately fell into a serious state of division. The position of Xianbei Chanyu changed hands several times, and finally passed to his grandson Bu Dugen.
Compared with the Mongol Empire in later generations, which also came from the Donghu lineage, the family of Tanshihuai's descendants can be called the "Xianbei Golden Family". Unfortunately, the descendants of Tanshihuai are not as powerful as the descendants of Genghis Khan.
The "Xianbei Golden Family" represented by Bu Dugen controlled the area only from Danhanshan to Pingcheng. Kebineng, the leader of the central Xianbei, and the eastern Xianbei represented by Suli were not willing to accept his control.
.
In addition, the western Xianbei in Hetao, Hexi and other areas also went their own way. This part of Xianbei included Tuoba Xianbei who would later take over the Central Plains.
Bu Dugen was determined to unify all Xianbei tribes, but he was just powerless.
To the east, Kebi Neng's troops are strong, numerous, and ambitious... If Kebi could not lead his troops to attack Budu, Budu would have to thank God for his grandfather, let alone give in to Dugen and take the initiative to find Ke Binneng.
Trouble.
Xia Zhao's words reminded Lu Yan of many things, but he vaguely remembered, "Bingzhou Xianbei Bu Dugen seems to be close to the old Cao family, right?"
Thinking of this, Lu Yan changed his mind and said to himself: "I wonder if there is a chance to win over Bu Dugen now?"
