Emperor Huan was bullied by Xianbei all his life, and he could not solve this problem until his death.
Later, Ling Emperor Liu Hong succeeded to the throne. Not only did this phenomenon not improve, but it became even more serious!
The frontier counties of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou are attacked by Xianbei every year. Countless people are killed and plundered!
Emperor Ling endured the humiliation for nearly ten years, and finally broke out completely in 177 AD.
Wuwan captain Xia Yu set out from Gaoliu, Po Xianbei lieutenant general Tian Yan set out from Yunzhong, Xiongnu lieutenant general Zang Min led Tu Teruo corpse of the Southern Huns and drove Shanyu from Yanmen, each leading more than 10,000 cavalry.
, divide the troops into three groups and go out!
Liu Hong's intention was very clear. Even if he could not destroy Xianbei, he would still teach Tan Shihuai a lesson so that he would no longer dare to underestimate the Han Dynasty or himself, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. Not only did this battle fail to demonstrate the prestige of the Han Dynasty, but it also completely lost the last trace of dignity!
The three armies of Xia Yu and others suffered a disastrous defeat, and even all the talismans and baggage were lost!
Each of the three generals led dozens of cavalrymen and fled back with their lives. As many as seven to eight tenths of the Han soldiers died in battle. In the end, only one tenth of the Han soldiers returned to the Han Dynasty.
After this battle, the Han Dynasty no longer had the strength to fight against Xianbei and could only carry out passive defense.
Tan Shihuai even ignored the Han Dynasty. The soldiers and civilians on the borders of Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou were completely devastated and had to endure several invasions from Xianbei every year.
Fortunately, God could not bear to sit back and watch the Eastern Han Dynasty perish. Two years before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, that is, the fourth year of Guanghe, in 181 AD, Tan Shihuai, the hero of Xianbei and a generation of genius, finally closed his eyes.
After Tan Shihuai's death, his son Helian inherited the position of leader and continued to lead the Xianbei forces.
It's just that there is a huge gap between He Lian's ability and his father Tan Shihuai's. The former can be called the favored son of heaven, while the latter can only be regarded as an ignorant and ignorant playboy.
He Lian was greedy for money and lust, had no talent, was greedy, and was unjust. When he succeeded to the throne, nearly half of the Xianbei people rebelled.
Not only did He Lian not try to extinguish these openly rebellious Xianbei people, but he was also attacking Beidi County.
Perhaps God caused Xianbei to decline, and He Lian was shot to death by the defenders.
The death of Tan Shihuai was the beginning of Xianbei's decline, and the death of He Lian announced the complete decline of Xianbei.
He Lian died too early, and his son Qian Man was too young to inherit the throne. He Lian's brother's son Kuitou could only succeed him.
Now more Xianbei people rebelled against the royal court and established their own families one after another.
Later, Qianman gradually grew up, and his old troops who relied on Helian began to compete with the leader for the leadership position, which made the already fragile Xianbei royal court even more chaotic.
In the end, Qianman and Kuitou were all separated, and both of them died. The shattered Xianbei royal court was inherited by Kuitou's younger brother Bu Dugen.
It was also at this time that several small groups in Kebineng in the central and eastern part of Dai County and Suli, Mijia and Queji near Youzhou became completely independent.
Since Liu Zhang became an official, it can be said that Xianbei has been in the most chaotic period. Various Xianbei tribes are attacking each other, annexing each other, and all are internal conflicts.
Moreover, after Helian's death, Xianbei never invaded Xiaoguan again, but instead placed its main targets in Youzhou and Bingzhou areas.
The reason is also very simple. The frontiers of Bingzhou and Youzhou are easier to invade than Xiaoguan.
If Xianbei invades Guanzhong, Xiaoguan will be able to greatly hinder their progress.
"Xiaozhi, what do you mean by Xiao Guan? Xiao Guan is in Anding County. Hasn't Han Sui given up on Anding?"
Liu Zhang recalled his memories carefully and found that Xiao Guan would not be threatened by anything in the past few decades.
"My lord, Han Sui gave up the entire Anding County, but put his son in Xiaoguan."
"son?"
Liu Zhang thought that Han Sui only had one daughter married to Yan Xing, but he didn't expect that he actually had a son!
"Why did he leave his son in Xiaoguan? Is it possible that Han Sui wants to defect to Xianbei?"
In Liu Zhang's view, Han Sui might have some face in front of the Qiang people, but not at all in front of the Xianbei people!
Escape to the desert is definitely not a good choice, and may even be a bit stupid.
Seeing the faint smile on Liu Zhang's face, Fazheng was even more anxious. Liu Zhang did not understand the current crisis situation at all.
"Lord, Han Sui is going to destroy Xiao Pass!"
After hearing the news, Liu Zhang was still not too nervous.
"Has Han Sui been full? What good will it do him to destroy Xiao Guan?"
"What's more, Xianbei is no longer as brave as it used to be. They have been fighting internally for the past few years. Even the military strength invested in Bingzhou and Youzhou is not as good as before. How can they invade from Xiaoguan instead of staying close?"
If Xianbei sent more than 10,000 men, Liu Zhang would definitely not be afraid at all and could directly send Wu Feng Battalion to crush them.
It also allowed these Xianbei people to understand the strength of Liu Zhang's elite cavalry.
However, Liu Zhang did not feel that Han Sui's plan would succeed. Even if the gates of Xiaoguan City were opened, there was no need to worry.
"Lord, you are wrong! Since Yuan Shao unified the surrounding areas of Hebei, he has deployed more than 100,000 troops on the entire Bingyou border. Both Xianbei and Wuhuan have suffered frequent setbacks at the hands of Yuan's army."
"Especially the Xianbei people. They have many tribes. If we don't rely on plunder, a large number of tribesmen will die every year."
Liu Zhang still didn't understand the reason why Fazheng was so worried. Could it be that Yuan Shao was not easy to chew, and he was a soft persimmon to be pinched by Xianbei?
"Xiaozhi, as far as I know, after the Xianbei split, the most powerful person was Kebineng. I heard that he controlled more than 100,000 strings, followed by Bu Dugen, who inherited the royal court, and controlled nearly 100,000 strings. The rest were
Li and others only control 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
"The one closest to us is Bu Dugen, but he and Kebi Neng are mortal enemies of each other, and both sides want to annex the other's power. Can he lead his army to Xiaoguan in a desperate attempt? Isn't he afraid that Kebi Neng will steal his power?
The way out?"
If the leader of Xianbei is still Tan Shihuai, Liu Zhang will definitely respect him. At present, neither Bu Dugen nor Ke Bineng can see the other side having an easy time, so why would they come all the way to Guanzhong?
"My Lord, I don't know. Ever since Yuan Shao sent troops to garrison the border, the life of the Xianbei people has been very different. They have repeatedly sent out troops to plunder but were repeatedly defeated by Yuan's army. Now every winter, many Xianbei people die due to cold and hunger."
"As far as I know, both Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng are very envious of the Southern Huns for having the Hetao area for their survival!"
Fazheng's remarks gradually attracted Liu Zhang's attention.
Historically, both Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng were always thinking about the Bingyou area and never paid attention to Guanzhong.
Even until Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng died, they had never set foot in Xiao Pass, let alone the Guanzhong area.
It's just that we can't rely entirely on historical memory at the moment, otherwise Liu Biao wouldn't have had an extra son for no reason!
"What Xiaozhi means is that Han Sui will lure the Xianbei people to compete for the Guanzhong area?"
