Chapter 63 Wuhuan abroad, wolf ambition
To the north of Youzhou in the Han Dynasty, the northern grasslands were where foreign tribes plundered.
Compared with the prosperous culture of the Han Dynasty and the evil of settling down and settling down, the characteristics of the grassland tribes are that they are nomadic and live in no fixed place. The people who live in them all set up tents. After one resource is exhausted by them, they will change to another.
They even went south to rape, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil. Once they broke through the border defenses, they would cause trouble in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, the Han people in the border areas hated the foreigners. The kings of all dynasties also attached great importance to the border areas and sent heavy troops to guard them. The purpose was to guard against them and protect the Han people.
However, the kings of the dynasties in the past could only strengthen the defense of the border areas, but they were unable to eliminate all the alien races. Even the original Qin Emperor and Han Wu could not wipe out all the alien races.
Not far from Youzhou, there is a large tribe of 100,000 people, the Wuhuan tribe, close to the territory of the Han Dynasty.
In the northern grasslands, the foreign ethnic groups are not a single ethnic group, but include the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and the Qiang people close to the Western Regions.
Among them, these foreign races are divided into tribes. A thousand people are a small tribe, a tribe of ten thousand people is a medium-sized tribe, and a tribe with more than 100,000 people is a large tribe. A tribe with more than 100,000 people must also be the seat of the royal court of the same tribe.
.
The Wuhuan tribe in front of us is where Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun is located, and where the Wuhuan royal court is located.
In the king's tent.
Tadun was sitting on the throne of his Chanyu, with their Wuhuan generals on his left and right. At this moment, their eyes were all focused on a person in the center of the tent.
"Han people, why did you bother to see me?" Tadun asked fiercely, wearing a wolf-skin king's robe and a smooth beard.
"Reporting to Shanyu, I am a counselor under the command of Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou. I have come all the way to see Shanyu today just for cooperation." Feng Ji suppressed his fear of foreigners and pretended to be calm.
"This Chanyu only knows about Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, but I don't know about Yuan Shao, the pastor of Jizhou." Tadun glanced at him and said coldly.
"To be honest with Shan Yu, the emperor of our dynasty is now weak and ignorant. My lord Yuan Shao rose to the occasion and captured Jizhou. However, the emperor of today has mobilized an army of princes to encircle and suppress him. Now my lord has sent me here to ask for help.
Chanyu sent troops to help." Feng Ji said with some respect.
"Rebellion means rebellion, why bother pretending to support justice? You Han people are like this. You always have the same face in everything you do. It's really ridiculous." Tadun said mockingly, with a disdainful smile on his face.
"Hahaha, Shan Yu is right, the Han people are so self-righteous, but in fact they are very shameless behind their backs."
"It's ridiculous..."
As soon as Tadun finished speaking, the Wuhuan generals in the tent laughed mockingly, which showed that they looked down on the Han people from the bottom of their hearts.
"Chanyu, please calm down. Today my lord sent me here just to ask the chanyu to send troops. No matter what conditions the chanyu has, my lord will definitely agree." Feng Ji gritted his teeth and said.
"You Han people are having internal strife. What's the point of Guan Shan Shan?" A strange light flashed in Tadun's eyes, but on the surface he was nonchalant.
"Five hundred thousand stones of food and grass, as long as the Chanyu agrees to send troops, my lord is willing to offer five hundred thousand stones of food and grass." Feng Ji said loudly.
"Seven hundred thousand dan, I, Wuhuan, will send troops, even if there is one less dan," Tadun clapped his hands and shouted.
"Okay, I agreed on my lord's behalf. As long as Chanyu mobilizes troops to attack Youzhou and hold back Liu Yu's army, my lord will donate 700,000 stones of food and grass." Feng Ji said with some heartache.
"Remember what you said, if I don't have food and grass delivered after I send out troops, I will definitely not spare you." Tadun said coldly.
"Please rest assured Shanyu, the Jizhou controlled by our lord is the richest among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. As long as Shanyu sends troops, 700,000 stones of food and grass will definitely not be missing." Feng Ji said anxiously.
"Okay, I will send out troops in the near future. You can go and report to your lord." Tadun waved his hand at Feng Ji and directly issued an order to expel the guest.
Naturally, Fengji didn't dare to say a word and left immediately.
Wait until there are no more outsiders.
"Chanyu, the Han people are very cunning. They said they gave 700,000 stones of food and grass, but if they don't give it to us after we send out troops, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?" A Wuhuan general said with some surprise.
unexpectedly.
Tadun just smiled coldly, with a calculating look on his face: "The Han people are cunning, but are they only allowed to be cunning? Now that winter is approaching, the food crisis of our grassland people has not been solved, and these Han people have come to beg us to send troops.
It is true, and Ben Shanyu got it from his mouth
Two pieces of news are true. First, the Han Dynasty is no longer as powerful as it used to be. Otherwise, that piece of shit Yuan Shao wouldn’t dare to rebel. Second, Liu Yu from Youzhou led an army to attack Yuan Shao. This
This means that the emptiness of Youzhou is a great opportunity for Wuhuan."
"The Shanyu doesn't care about the 700,000 stone grains and herbs. What the Shanyu cares about is that Youzhou's army is weak, which is a great opportunity for plunder." Tadun sneered, full of ferocity.
"Chanyu Yingming."
After hearing what Tadun said, many Wuhuan generals in the tent were extremely excited.
Originally, the reason why he agreed to Fengji so happily was not because of the 700,000 stones of food and grass, but because he had originally intended to go south to plunder. Now that he learned about the emptiness of Youzhou, it made him even more determined.
"With such a good opportunity to attack the south, if the Han people go to Xianbei, wouldn't we be short of it?" said a Wuhuan general.
"No, Xianbei will not send troops. They are far away from Youzhou, and the one thing Ke Bineng doesn't trust the most is the Han people. He won't believe the Han people's promises." Tadun said wily.
"Chan Yu Yingming, then our hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhuan can have a good winter this time."
"Kill all those Han people and take all their women back to be slaves, hahaha..." All the Wuhuan generals laughed wildly.
Eyes shift.
Jizhou!
"My lord, I'm so happy. Fortunately, my subordinates have fulfilled their orders and successfully persuaded the Yellow Turban Army to send troops to help." After Guo Tu received a positive reply from Zhang Yan and others, he rushed back without stopping to report the good news to Yuan Shao.
"Okay, okay."
"With the Yellow Turbans sending troops, Liu Dai's troops in Yanzhou were held back, and Fengji also persuaded Wuhuan to send troops to deal with Liu Yu in Youzhou. Both major armies were held back. This time the little emperor was bound to lose.
"Yuan Shao looked at the civil and military officials in the palace and laughed wildly.
"I disappoint my lord, my subordinates failed to persuade Xianbei to send troops." Feng Ji said with some shame.
"It doesn't matter. It's the same if Wuhuan sends troops. Here, Benzhou Mu can also pay a little less price." Yuan Shao said without any disappointment.
It seemed that he was very benefited by the good news he received one after another.
