"Let's talk about the movements of the Karasuma people, especially the Nanlou in Shanggu County. Oh, by the way, there is also Karasuma Colonel Xing Ju."
The memory of Gongsun Zan will not take up much of Li Shushi's time. After all, the contact between the two people is still too little. If it weren't for Gongsun Zan himself being considered a celebrity in the late Han Dynasty, perhaps even this memory would have long been forgotten by Li Shushi.
forget.
So it would be hypocritical to say that hearing the story of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan would make Li Shushi feel sentimental.
Li Shushi didn't have the time to play that kind of sentimental game, nor was he in the mood to pretentiously recite a sentimental song. The most realistic problem for him was the aliens who were originally won over by Liu Yu after his death.
What changes will occur.
Because this issue is related to the security of Bingshuo and Bingzhou as well as the trend of civil strife among the Xianbei people, the biggest enemy of the Bingzhou Army.
"My Lord, it's better to ask Jia Wenhe about this question. The news from him is more detailed. In addition, Madam's meals should be almost ready. Ever since I listened to Lord's words, my stomach has been thinking about my protest.
.”
Cheng Yu's joke added a bit of relaxation to the originally solemn air in the room, and everyone was able to temporarily relieve themselves from the heavy official duties and enjoy a delicious home-cooked banquet.
After the meal, the discussion continued, but there were a few more people around Li Shushi.
For example, Guo Jia was dragged out from who knows which wine shop, such as Fazheng who was looking at Zhenghuan with the military book given by Li Shushi, Tuoba Liwei, Sima Yi and the one who had been raised by Su Xiaoluoli.
Yan Rou is still calm as usual.
Of course, Xiaoqiang, whose eyes lit up when he heard such news, and Gao Shun, who came to report his work and was caught as a young man, were indispensable.
What everyone will discuss this time is the issue about Karasuma.
It has been said a long time ago that Wuwan, like Xianbei, comes from Donghu. It is not the name of a certain ethnic group, but the name of a group of tribes. They originally lived on the grasslands in the northeast. With Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu
Entering the Central Plains, many people have helped
His Wuwan tribe also entered the Han area, and some tribes even integrated into the Han people. So at this time, the Wuwan people can be said to be spread all over the Han Dynasty in Youji, Hebei, Sanzhou and the grasslands outside the Great Wall. Between them and the Han Dynasty
The relationship is also quite complex.
But in general, the relationship between the Wuwan people and the Han people should be closer than that between the Qiang people and the Shanyue people in the south, and only slightly worse than the Qiang people and the Bajun people who are almost integrated into the Han people.
The Wuwan people in Bingzhou have basically integrated into the Han nation after being appeased and surrendered by Li Shushi through coercion and inducement. Especially Wu Ze, who was once the young leader of Wuwan in Xihe. Now he is not much different from the Han people. He was appointed by Li Shushi
Being the prefect of Yinping County, which is now the vassal state of Guanghan, was a sign of Li Shushi's trust in him.
However, the Wuwan tribe in Bingzhou has a strong foundation of Chinese culture, and many of them have begun to learn the Han lifestyle. Even though many tribes still retain some traditions as nomadic people, they still yearn for the life of the Han.
But this is not the case for the Wuwan people who are distributed in Youzhou and the north of Youzhou.
"Yuan Shun, you are relatively familiar with the grassland barbarians near Youzhou. I will let you tell me about the situation of the Wuwan people near Youzhou."
Although Jia Xu has collected a lot of relevant information over the years, Li Shushi still found Yan Rou, hoping that he could provide some unique information, and it would not be too late for Jia Xu to check and fill in the gaps later.
"Back to my lord, although there are many Wuwan tribes in Youzhou, there are only three that are the most powerful: Qiu Liju in the west of Liaoning, Shanggu Nanlou, and Su Puyan in the eastern Liaoning state. The rest are like Daijun Nengchen Di, and Wuyan in Youbeiping barely occupies one
In the land of the county, Gu Jin, Wang Tong, Wang Ji and others were wandering around
Although the tribes in various parts of the grassland are quite powerful, they are far inferior to the tribes of the three people mentioned above. The remaining tribes do not exceed a thousand households at most. Although they are scattered, they are flexible in their movements, either hiding in the Han region or escaping to the grasslands.
, it is difficult to accurately know their whereabouts."
"What is their relationship with each other, with the counties in Youzhou, and with the Xianbei people? Also, does Yuan Shun understand the personalities of these tribal leaders?
"
"Back to my lord, there is no subordinate relationship between the various tribes in Karasuma. Although they have united several times before under the pressure of the Xianbei people, they all relied on Han officials to mediate.
That’s all.
However, the relationship between the Karasuma people and the Han people is quite close. It can even be said that the Karasuma tribe that can be entrenched in the counties of the Han people has a very subtle relationship with the local prefecture and county magistrate. Maybe they use each other, maybe they
It was a congenial feeling. In short, Han officials could not ignore the Wuwan people's tribes, and the Wuwan people's tribes could not completely operate unscrupulously in the Han territory. There was only one person who did not follow this practice very much, and that person was Gongsun Zan.
The relationship between the Wuwan people and the Xianbei people is somewhat special. It was once said that they were both conquered by the Huns, but later the Wuwan people took refuge with the Han people, while the Xianbei people were still subordinate to the Huns. As a result, the Xianbei people suffered a lot. Later
There is a name among the Xianbei people
Tanshihuai's people united the Xianbei people, but the Wuwan people fought independently. As a result, the Xianbei people gained the upper hand. Especially when the Han people sent troops in three groups to attack the Xianbei people but suffered a disastrous defeat, Wuwan people were even more worried.
People can only petition to move inland to avoid the limelight.
Now that the Xianbei people are in civil strife, although the Wuwan people are still scattered, they have obtained many refugees and slaves from the Han people, so they are very strong. Especially Qiu Liju in western Liaoning, it is said that he once had a
The scale of 15,000 households is only due to the fact that they once followed the Han people.
As a result, Liu Yu took advantage of the differences among the Karasuma tribes to create a wedge between the rebels, and Gongsun Zan defeated the Karasuma coalition, which greatly damaged their strength. However, after several years of development, they now have more than 12,000 households.
Therefore, in the past two years, with the support of Liu Yu, the Wuwan tribes often went north to annex some small Xianbei tribes.
This is probably all I know, and it was all told to me by the old shaman from Xianbei. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong.”
"It doesn't matter, at least it gives us some understanding of the Karasuma tribes in Youzhou, and isn't there Wenhe as well."
"Actually, Commander Yan has already explained the general situation very clearly just now, so I will just add a few words.
The various tribes in Karasuma are indeed loosely related, but since Liu Boan used clever tricks to drive a wedge between the major Karasuma tribes during Zhang Chunzhang's rebellion, causing civil strife in Karasuma and forcing them to surrender, the major Karasuma tribes that participated in the rebellion that year
The tribe has already agreed
Realizing the importance of unity, several major Karasuma tribes in Western Liaoning, Liaodong and Youbei jointly promoted Qiu Liju, the leader of Karasuma in Western Liaoning, to jointly resist Gongsun Zan's oppression. It is precisely because of this that several Karasuma tribes
He was not destroyed by Gongsun Zan.
As for Nanlou in Shanggu and Nengchen Di in Daijun, although there is no subordinate relationship according to various information, there are many connections between the two departments. Among them, Nanlou is stronger. Therefore, it is usually seen in Shanggu
Karasuma is the leader in this alliance.
As for the specific strength of these units, because the situation on the grassland has been relatively chaotic in recent years, the numbers given by Xu can only be used as a reference. Please forgive me if there are any discrepancies."
"It doesn't matter. It's not easy to have a rough figure. How can I blame you for this kind of thing?"
"This will put your mind at ease. According to Xu's analysis and summary of the information obtained from various aspects, the Qiuli Residence Department in Western Liaoning has a population of approximately 13,000 to 17,000 households. That is to say
At this time, the Qiu Li Residence Department has probably exceeded the maximum size that Yan Wuchang said at the time.
Nanlou's headquarters has a population of between 9,000 and 11,000 households. Its strength can indeed be regarded as the second largest among the Karasuma tribes. And if there is no news, this number may change.
.I will talk about it later.
Su Puyan's tribe has a population of about 7,000 to 8,000 households, ranking third. Wuyan's tribe has a population of about 6,000 to 7,000 households.
Nengchen Disuo has a population of about four to five thousand households, but like Nanlou, his strength has also changed recently.
The remaining tribes such as the Amugulang Alliance have about 4,000 households, and the affiliated tribes of Karasuma in Liaoxi have a total of about 7,000 households.
In other words, the population that Qiu Liju can control now can reach a maximum of nearly 40,000 households. And this should not include the slaves owned by various ministries. In this way, the population that it can control is larger than some in Youzhou.
The population of each county is larger.
As for the loose Karasuma tribal alliance in Shanggu and Daijun, the total population has reached at least 20,000 households.
It can be said that due to years of war, a large number of people in the Central Plains have fled to the frontiers, and many originally hidden populations have therefore gathered into powerful alien tribes. They may not be able to increase the combat effectiveness of the Karasuma people, but they will bring something else.
Things, and these 'things' are enough to make the Karasuma people a trouble that we cannot underestimate."
"It sounds like there are quite a few tribes with names, but if you look closely, they don't seem to pose much of a threat to us. Even Shuofang County, which has the smallest population in the Bingshuo area, has a population of more than 50,000 households, although the population is small.
A little bit, but because the combat effectiveness of Qingzhuangduo will never be lower than that of the Karasuma tribe, if there are enough horses, I can let them counterattack the desert in less than five years."
As expected, Xiaoqiang obviously thinks that Li Shushi's emphasis on the Wuwan people is a bit unnecessary. Perhaps in his understanding, the current Wuwan people are just a piece of food for the Bingzhou Army, and Gongsun Zan back then could easily crush them.
To suppress them, today's Bingzhou Army is far superior to the Baima Yicong of the day - as for Gongsun Zan being surrounded and managing Zicheng, it is not a matter of combat effectiveness but a matter of dizziness.
However, Xiao Qiang didn't notice that the man next to him, who didn't like to talk much in the first place, frowned after hearing what Jia Xu and Yan Rou said. He seemed to be deep in thought, but he didn't know what aspect he had considered.
Originally he was just a vanguard general who could command a desperate fighting regiment of less than a thousand people. After several years of training in northern Xinjiang, he now has some unique experience in strategic vision. It seems that he is more powerful than Lu Bu and Zhao Yun who are always tied to him.
A little more mature.
Li Shushi felt that maybe he should consider letting Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang out, especially the latter, who originally had the potential to be independent, but being with him was not conducive to the cultivation of independent thinking ability.
Tsk tsk tsk, sometimes it’s troublesome if a subordinate is too obedient.
Well, this is a happy trouble. It is also a trouble that makes people envious, jealous, and hateful.
These thoughts just flashed through his mind for a moment. Looking at Jia Xu's strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Li Shushi knew that he still had something to say, and he seemed to have said something about a new situation just now...
Thinking of this, Li Shushi couldn't help but look at Xiaoqiang with a little pity in his eyes.
Xiaoqiang from the Kingdom of Heaven, I feel good now, please feel free to go.
"Ahem, didn't Wen He just say that there was something wrong with Shanggu Nanlou and Daijun Nengchendi's tribe? What happened?"
"This is exactly what my subordinates are worried about the Wuwan people. I just got the news that the death of Liu Yu triggered large-scale turmoil in Youzhou. Naturally, Gongsun Zan went to suppress it in the central area of Youzhou. But in the western area of Youzhou, because of
The turmoil sparked a storm..."
"Xing Ju, Colonel Karasuma!"
Just when Jia Xu was about to continue talking, a loud shout suddenly came from the room, which immediately startled several "timid" guys. It made people wonder if someone was planning to recruit troops to rebel.
Yes, I'm talking about you, you dead ant that fell under the table.
As for Li Shushi's angry glare, little Sima Yi, who kept his eyes level, seemed a little aggrieved.
As for Gao Shun, who was the focus of everyone's attention, although he seemed to be completely unafraid, his face also turned red and black.
However, Jia Xu felt that he no longer needed to increase his presence, so it was rare for him to let go of a certain young man.
However, seeing Li Shushi's resentful eyes, Jia Xu had no choice but to stand up again.
"What General Gao said is true. It was none other than Xing Ju, the captain of Karasuma. And not only him, Daijun and Shanggu were also invaded and plundered by barbarians led by the Karasuma tribe in both places. The governor of both places died.
One death, serious loss of population and property. But these are not the most important things. The most important issue is that beside the Wuwan people, our detailed work also saw the presence of the Xianbei people."
What seemed like a disaster to ordinary people was not a big deal in the eyes of these guys who managed millions of people. Instead, the first and last two sentences of Jia Xu interested them more.
In other words, they have smelled an unusual smell from these two sentences.
However, Li Shushi discovered that when Yan Rou heard the news of Xing Ju's death, her usually calm face flashed with a twitch.
Is it possible that this little guy and Xing Ju have something to do with each other?
But Li Shushi remembered that Yan Rou was taken to the grasslands as a slave since she was very young, and even if Xing Ju was a border soldier at the border at that time, the most he could do was to be the leader of the Dubo team. Is it possible that there were other positions among them?
A piece of epic shit?!
Okay, please forgive Li Shushi for being unable to help but wandering in random thoughts.
"Although the Wuwan people don't seem to be many, they are more familiar with the Han people than the Xianbei people. Especially when the world is in chaos, many Central Plains scholars fled to the four fortresses to escape the war. Our Bingshuo area gained a lot of benefits because of this.
There are few refugees. Although Bingshuo looks calmer than other places, perhaps the refugees heading to Youzhou
The people here cannot compare with ours, but it is conceivable that some Han people will inevitably appear behind the Karasuma people. In that case, Karasuma will become even more difficult to deal with. In addition, I would also like to remind you not to forget that when we first started
Those Jie people threatened us when we arrived at Xihe, so we must not take this matter lightly."
Cheng Yu mentioned the issue of the Jie people who had been almost exterminated by Li Shushi, and several old men from the Bingzhou Army present couldn't help but look solemn.
The original Bingzhou Army was indeed weak and could not be compared with what it is now. Just to fight against the attacks of several tribes of Jie people, they had to be careful to avoid any mistakes or mistakes. But even though the Bingzhou Army has now become a behemoth, this behemoth
It is also composed of the land and people of one county.
Karasuma's army does not seem to be a big threat to the behemoth Bingzhou Army, but the Bingzhou Army does not only have enemies in the north, and it is impossible to focus all its energy on the northern frontier. And if the opponent of the Karasuma tribe is replaced by one county or several
It's a border county, so who can be confident that there will definitely be no problems?
Xing Ju, who had just been beheaded by the Wuwan people, is the best footnote to this problem.
In other words, if it were not for the civil strife in Xianbei at this time, and the Bingzhou Army continuing to harass and counterattack the border areas every year, I am afraid that just the iron hoof to prevent the Xianbei people from going south every year would completely make them lose the chance to compete in the Central Plains, let alone conquer the present
of this territory.
"I heard before that the guy named Yuwen Tuo next to Qian Man is very capable. I'm afraid that the leader is no match for him. Now he has started to cooperate with Karasuma. Either Qian Man is a strong man but in need of external support, or he
Qian Man has basically stabilized the situation and is preparing to re-implement the policies left by Helian back then. I'm afraid everyone knows the specific situation."
Yes, Jushu made it very clear that he believed that Kuitou was not Yuwen Tuo's opponent. Li Shushi also emphasized the danger of Yuwen Tuo to everyone more than once. He said that with his help, Qian Man would need the help of Xianbei's troops.
?No one will believe it.
so……
"I think everyone should be very clear. The problem of Wuwan is certainly worthy of our attention, but the changes in the Xianbei Royal Court projected from this small incident are still worthy of our vigilance. Bingzhou and the Xianbei Royal Court have an ever-lasting relationship, and our
Success is also forged by the blood of the Xianbei Royal Court, and our future glory will inevitably be baptized by more blood of the Xianbei Royal Court!"
"The book is right, we can't give those Xianbei people any chance!"
"Don't worry, my lord, you won't be fighting alone!"
The rumbling drums of the decisive battle seemed to be echoed by thunder at this moment. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
