Compared with the information provided by Ma Teng and Fazheng about the Xianbei people, Liu Zhang believed Ma Teng more.
Fa Zheng is just a young boy with limited information.
After all, Ma Teng was the governor of a state, with tens of thousands of troops under his command. Coupled with his relationship with the Qiang people, he must be more accurate about Xianbei's situation.
"What is the relationship between Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan?"
The top priority now is to sort out Xianbei's internal relations as soon as possible.
If it is true as Ma Teng said, it is impossible for the Xianbei people to invade, then for Liu Zhang it would be nothing less than joy falling from heaven.
"Fu Luohan is Bu Dugen's elder brother, and both of them are direct descendants of Tan Shihuai."
No wonder Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen could easily conquer Qian Man and Kuitou's old men!
After calling back and forth, it turns out that they are all members of the same family!
"I heard that Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng have a very bad relationship. They often fight. Is it true?"
Ma Teng nodded and answered Liu Zhang firmly.
"That's right! Ke Bineng is from a small tribe, similar to the poor families or common people in the Han Dynasty. Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan are descendants of Tanshihuai, so they naturally look down on Ke Bineng."
"It's a pity that the battle between Qianman and Kuitou greatly consumed the strength of the Xianbei Royal Court, especially Bu Dugen, who was unable to compete with Kebineng and could only join forces with Fulohan."
"However, Ke Bineng's ability is much stronger than these two brothers, and he is very popular among the Xianbei people in central China. Currently, Ke Bineng is the most powerful force among the Xianbei people."
Now Liu Zhang had almost figured it out. Except for Bu Dugen, who had some differences, it seemed that the other information provided by Fazheng was relatively accurate.
That also shows that the Xianbei people will still choose to attack!
"Brother Shoucheng, why are you so sure that the Xianbei people will not invade?"
Liu Zhang was not in a hurry to convince Ma Teng, he also wanted to hear Ma Teng's thoughts.
"General Wei, Ke Bineng is very ambitious and has always wanted to be second in Tanshihuai! Do you think Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen will tolerate his existence?"
In Ma Teng's view, this Tanshihuai is like the great ancestor, Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen are like the direct descendants of the great ancestor, and Kebineng is just the son of a commoner on the border.
This is equivalent to a poor family or common people suddenly gaining power one day, and still clamoring to be emperor in front of the Han clan clan every day. What will the descendants of the Liu family think?
He will definitely not let this common man get his wish! He even wants to let him die immediately.
Liu Zhang was also shaken by Ma Teng and became hesitant.
It would be okay if there was only one leader in Eastern Xianbei, but in Eastern Xianbei both Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen have a say.
The difficulty of convincing one person is definitely not the same as convincing two people at the same time.
But can we really conclude that Xianbei will not attack based on Ma Teng's words?
After much thought, Liu Zhang still felt that it was too risky.
If the street pavilion's power was removed, it would probably keep him awake at night.
"Brother Shoucheng's words are reasonable, but it does not mean that Xianbei will not attack at all! What if the Xianbei army really attacks from Xiao Pass?"
Ma Teng also nodded slightly, but still insisted on his own point of view.
"General Wei didn't know the power structure of the Xianbei people, so Tan Shihuai divided Xianbei into three tribes: the west, the middle and the east, and personally appointed the leaders of the three tribes."
"Tan Shihuai leads the three tribes, and the three tribes govern the large tribes of Xianbei, and the large tribes control the small tribes."
"Such top-down obedience is not absolute. It will only take effect when there is a war. At other times, it is tribal autonomy!"
Ma Teng's words not only made Liu Zhang's eyes widen, but also refreshed his understanding of Tan Shihuai.
Isn’t the system of the Xianbei people too ridiculous?
I thought that Tan Shihuai was the proud son of the Xianbei people, but I didn't expect that such a stupid system would be left behind.
When Xianbei was at its most powerful, its land area was almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty, and even its military strength was not far behind.
I thought that Tan Shihuai established the royal court in Danhan Mountain because he understood the essence of the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty, but I didn't expect that he was just a formality.
"No wonder the whole Xianbei fell apart as soon as Tan Shihuai died..."
The shortcomings of this system are too obvious, just like the eunuchs and relatives who interfered with politics in the Han Dynasty.
Large tribes and small tribes cannot directly compete with the Shanyu. Doesn't this give the three adults an opportunity to rebel?
If there are really ambitious people in the big Xianbei tribe, I'm afraid all the three tribes will be ignored!
"General Wei, do you now understand why it is difficult for Xianbei to attack? First of all, Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen will not let down their bodies and join forces with Kebi Neng. Secondly, they need to have enough benefits to drive the Xianbei tribes to unite.
stand up."
"Recently, the nearest Fuluohan tribe in Xiaoguan is still in the north of Bingzhou. As for Kebineng, it is even in the north of Daijun. From Daijun to Xiaoguan, it is not a journey that can be completed in one or two days..."
Ma Teng doesn't look down on the Xianbei people, but looks down on Han Sui!
Now that Han Wenyue is at the end of his rope, what can he do to tempt the Xianbei people?
If you just come to Xianbei, there will only be tens of thousands of string control people at most. These people may not be enough for Liu Zhang to squeeze his teeth!
If you want to pose a threat to the Yizhou Army, you need at least the western Xianbei to attack together.
Putting aside whether Han Sui can bring out these benefits, do Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen dare to come to Yongliang to make a desperate move?
I'm afraid that as soon as the two of them take the lead, Ke Bineng will cut off their retreat!
"I suggest that General Wei just concentrate on dealing with the Qiang people. As for the Xianbei people, even if they dug through Longshan, they would not dare to come!"
Ma Teng showed a proud smile, which taught Liu Zhang a lesson and made him feel relaxed.
"General Wei, please rest assured, Han Sui does not have such a big benefit to share with the Xianbei people! If he cannot fulfill his promise when he recruits the Xianbei people, then Han Sui will have to suffer the consequences without General Wei's intervention!"
It was Ma Teng's words that suddenly awakened Liu Zhang as if he was enlightened.
Benefit!
Ma Teng felt that Han Sui could not afford such a large reward to the Xianbei people, but the benefits Han Sui offered were completely irresistible to the Xianbei people, and it did not even cost Han Sui a penny!
Liu Zhang complained secretly in his heart, almost letting Ma Teng mislead him!
"Brother Shoucheng, you are wrong! Han Sui has already paid his dues!"
"What's the reward? Apart from Jincheng's lair, what else can Han Wenyue offer?"
Ma Teng still disagreed. His understanding of Han Sui was far more confident than Liu Zhang's.
Ma Teng knew exactly what territory Han Sui had and how many coins he had in his pocket.
"Xiao Pass! Han Sui destroyed Xiao Pass, which is equivalent to paying the Xianbei people!"
Ma Teng looked at Liu Zhang strangely. He even felt that Liu Zhang was a little... mentally retarded today!
"Did General Wei not hear what I just said? Not to mention the destruction of Xiaoguan, even if Longshan was leveled, the Xianbei people would not dare to come!"
