Liu Yu felt a little dissatisfied, secretly thinking that if he had been born in that era, he would have been at odds with the grassland overlords such as Maodun Shanyu and Tanshihuai Chief. However, he did not say it directly. He only heard Murong Lan continue to say:
"After the death of Tan Shikai, various disciples fought for the throne, and the grassland was in chaos again. The Xianbei Khanate collapsed before it could be established, but the Xianbei nation was established. Tuoba Xianbei came out of Mobei, and the Murong family, the Yuwen family, and the Duan family
The three major tribes lived in Liaodong, and the Southern Huns still attached themselves to Monan, but they were not strong. This relationship lasted for decades until the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "I know the affairs of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. After Cao Cao unified the north, he traveled thousands of miles to defeat Wuhuan, and carved stones to record his achievements. The prairie barbarians who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation did not dare to make any move. Speaking of which, Cao Cao is really first-class.
A heroic hero."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Yes, Emperor Wu of Wei was of course a famous general throughout the ages. He not only defeated Wuhuan in the north, but also moved the five southern Xiongnu tribes that were originally attached to the Central Plains. The previous southern Xiongnu were nomadic on the Monan grassland.
It was not until Cao Cao that I truly entered the Central Plains for the first time."
Liu Yu frowned: "Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? It's a way to cause disaster. How could Cao Cao, a great hero of his generation, do such a thing?"
Murong Lan said seriously: "I once asked my elder brother this, but he said that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains has been in war for decades. Diseases have been prevalent, production has been destroyed, and a large number of people have died. Ten houses are empty, and more than a hundred people live.
, the bones were exposed in the wild, it was a tragic sight that only happened once in hundreds of years, and I’m afraid it would be much worse than what we see today.”
Liu Yu was speechless. His experiences in the north in the past few years have gradually made him numb. Especially the war in Guanzhong, thousands of miles of uninhabited people, and even the tragic situation of cannibalism made him no longer the hot-blooded young man he used to be.
, but when I heard the scene of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, I couldn't help but be moved. I sighed and murmured: "In the past, I didn't believe that any troubled times would really be like this. I always thought that it was the historians who made shocking remarks to warn the king.
They are cruel and bring trouble to the world, but now I realize that these hells on earth are all real."
Murong Lan sighed: "At the time of Emperor Huan, we once counted the world's population. At that time, there were 60 million people. But by the time of the Battle of Chibi, there were only about 4 million left. Until the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, the whole country had a population of 60 million.
The population is only seven to eight million. This shows the terrible impact of the war. After all, this was a chaotic time that lasted for nearly a hundred years, not just a few months. Even a hero like Cao Cao felt the trouble of lack of manpower, so he sent the Huns to
The people who moved into the Central Plains were not only affected by the Xiongnu, but also the Qiang and Di people in the areas of Hexi, Longyou and Hehuang."
Liu Yu suddenly realized: "No wonder these foreign races were all in the Central Plains during the Wuhu Rebellion. It turned out that Cao Cao moved in!"
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, the production level of the nomadic aliens on the grassland is low. They cannot even make basic pots and pans. They completely rely on trading with the Central Plains. Therefore, when the Central Plains is in chaos, these grassland barbarians
I can't live anymore. You can still rob people in peacetime, but if there is a war, can you still rob people to death? If you are used to trading with the Han people, you can't go back to the tough Mobei grassland and live like your ancestors."
"So when Cao Cao let them enter the Pass, these Huns were overjoyed. They settled in with their whole family, and hundreds of thousands of households moved in. Liu Yuan was the grandson of the Xiongnu Chanyu at that time and a direct descendant of Maodun Chanyu.
When they entered the Central Plains, they farmed like the Han people and became farmers. They even changed their surnames. For example, the Luoti clan had a marriage with the Han Dynasty and married a Han princess, so they all changed their surname to Liu, which was later Liu.
When Yuan rebelled and established the Han-Zhao Empire, Liu Chan, the last monarch of the Later Han Dynasty, was the first emperor."
Liu Yu sighed: "Then who is Liu Weichen?"
Murong Lan smiled and said: "Liu Weichen's Tiefu tribe, according to Han standards, is the clan of the Xiongnu. His ancestor Liu Qubei was the Youxian King of the Xiongnu, the second son of Yufuluo Chanyu, and the third son of the Xiongnu
The virtuous kings on the left and right were often brothers of Shan Yu, who came out of the eastern and western grasslands of the town to command the servant tribes, which was equivalent to the Han people's splitting of the land and dividing the territory, and this Liu Weichen was the fifth generation grandson of Liu Qubei."
"Liu Weichen's grandfather Liu Hu did not want to be ruled by the Han in the pass, so he led his tribe out of the fortress and returned to the grassland. However, after the Xiongnu moved inland, the grassland was ownerless, and the Monan area was occupied by the Xianbei Tuoba and Dugu tribes who moved south.
Waiting for the occupation, Liu Hu could only take his tribe all the way west to the land of Shuofang, Hetao, where he established the Tiefu tribe, which has been there to this day. Because of this relationship, when Liu Yuan founded the country, he once granted Liu Hu the title of
The clan princes, after Liu Yuan's empire fell and Liu's direct descendants were almost killed, Liu Weichen's line was regarded as the direct descendants and authentic descendants of the Xiongnu."
Liu Yu laughed: "I see, so to speak, just like the ancestors of the Huns, they couldn't stay in the Central Plains any longer, and finally fled to the grasslands. They were not even as good as their ancestors. They couldn't even stay in Monan, so they had to go
Further west is the Hetao area. I can imagine why Liu Weichen and Liu Kuren have such a deep hatred, probably because of the fight for their hometown in Monan."
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, to put it bluntly, the Hetao grassland is also rich in water and grass, but it is still inferior to Monan. Just like you Han people, the Central Plains is the Central Plains. It is still better than places like Jingzhou and Bashu.
Many more, and more importantly, the Yinshan and Monan areas are where the royal courts of the Xiongnu chanyus were located in the past, similar to Luoyang and Chang'an of your Han people. Now they are in the hands of other tribes. If they are not taken back, they will be in vain as descendants of the Xiongnu."
Speaking of this, Murong Lan smiled and said to Liu Yu: "Just like you, who are clamoring all day long to regain the two capitals, isn't this the same idea?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Restoring the rivers and mountains and returning them to the old capital is the same whether it is for the Huns or the Han people. The Huns moved south to the fortress and lost their grasslands. It is the same as our Jin Dynasty abandoning the people of Central China and settling in the south of the Yangtze River.
When my children and grandchildren wanted to return to their former home, they found that someone else's world was already under their control, and I suddenly felt a little sympathy for Liu Weichen. After all, he was doing the same thing as me."
Murong Lan smiled and said: "Who can tell clearly about the rise and fall of this world? The king's flag changed on the city wall, and the overlords of the grassland also changed one after another. The Xiongnu weakened, the Xianbei rose, and the southern Xiongnu moved inward, achieving the expansion of the country.
The Ba family of Xianbei dominated Monan, and Cao Cao defeated Wuhuan, which allowed the Murong family, Yuwen family and Duan family of Xianbei in Liaodong to rise. But now, the Dai state established by the Tuoba family has died at the hands of the former Qin Fu Jian.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Jian's own former Qin Dynasty also perished. It was just the ambition of these kings who wanted to unify the world and make great achievements, which caused countless people in the world to suffer, whether they were Han or barbarian."
