In March of the second year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, Xianbei Shanyu and his company raised troops in Danhan Mountain to invade.
In fact, during the reign of Tan Shihuai, Xianbei was accustomed to launch southward invasions between October and December in winter, especially winter in December. Although the weather is colder at this time, considering this
At that time, the grain and livestock of the Han people had matured and been put into storage, and the Han people had generally entered the winter rest period. Both officials and soldiers were relatively relaxed, so if a raid was carried out at this time, both resistance and harvest would be greater than at other times.
Much superior.
As for the cold weather and wind and snow, as Xianbei people who have grown up in harsh environments since childhood, this is not an insurmountable difficulty. On the contrary, heavy snow and wind can also give them a sense of pride in conquering nature. Of course, wind and snow are more common
Definitely the allies and accomplices of these invaders, the Xianbei people often take advantage of the wind and snow to raid the Han people's cities. The Han people's combat effectiveness in the cold winter is obviously not as good as the Xianbei people wearing leather clothes, leather hats and leather boots.
That way it's almost unaffected.
In fact, it’s not that He Lian didn’t want to take this opportunity to go south. It’s just that last year, because the Great God Xuanwu sent down oracles, these oracles were naturally interpreted by the shamans of various tribes as content they didn’t like, so the grasslands were fighting for Xuanwu.
God's
Qin Lai then launched a very brutal fight. Not only did Xianbei have to face challenges from foreign tribes, but several rebellions broke out internally.
Maybe it will be a split, but not necessarily.
Of course, this large-scale turmoil in the grassland also became another new shell for Ke Zui and others to oppose Helian's grassland integration plan.
Then came the heavy snow, which was heavy enough to affect the movement of the army. This forced He Company, which had finally ended the civil strife in the grasslands and was preparing to get supplies from the Han people, to stop its march south and wait for the snow to melt enough to march.
Therefore, it was not until this season when all things revived and animals began to come into estrus that Helian finally had the opportunity to realize his ambition. However, since the troops could not stay outside for a long time and missed the mating season of animals, it was destined that Helian's behavior this time would be
It will be a blitzkrieg that will be quick and will never be delayed. For Li Shushi, this will be another piece of good news.
Xianbei's southern invasion was very popular, but in fact there were not as many tribes participating as He Lian had imagined. The main reason was that this time was really embarrassing. The Japanese law deduction also used this as an excuse.
The last time he tried to shake He Lian's mind, He Lian seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. No matter what Ri Lv's deduction said, he would not accept it. Maybe there was something extraordinary in the south that had firmly attracted his attention.
All the efforts that Lu deduced ended up being nothing more than a sigh.
However, as Tan Shihuai's appointed assistant minister for He Lian, Rilu's deduction still mobilized enough soldiers and horses from his own tribe to help He Lian, even though he knew very well that in his deduction this southbound trip was
How dangerous.
And what frightened him the most was that his deduction could only extrapolate to this southern invasion. Even the outcome of the southern invasion could not be predicted. It was as if someone had disturbed his deduction. This fear and expectation of the unknown passed through him.
The two different emotions of working hard and getting a satisfactory result were intertwined in the mind of this young wise man from Xianbei, making him particularly entangled.
The other two large tribes that supported the southern invasion were Tuoba Xianbei, who came from the distant Mobei and had just obtained the qualification to go south through attachment and alliance. Its leader was Tuoba Jie, who had just ascended the throne and was in the prime of life.
Fen. And Tuoba Jiefen's father is a famous wise man on the grassland, a master of Japanese deduction, and Tuoba Lin, who is respectfully known as the "Second Deduction".
It can be said that this Tuoba Lin truly lives up to his title of Second Deduction. He is the sixth generation grandson of Tuoba Deyan, the ancestor of the Tuoba clan who is honored as "Deyan" and whose real name is no longer known.
At that time, due to the decision of Tuoba deduction, the entire Tuoba tribe and their subordinates were brought from the vast mountain forests and swamps in southern Heilongjiang and northern Daxingan Mountains to Hulunchi in the Mobei area occupied by the Northern Huns before they were expelled by the Han Dynasty.
.It is precisely because of this migration that
The Xianbei tribe, which originally focused on hunting and supplemented by animal husbandry, has gradually grown into a powerful grassland tribe. Well, if you think about this family history carefully, you will suddenly feel that it is very similar to a guy named Jin. Of course, considering Jin
North Korea is definitely a pirated version and a copycat, while Xianbei is the original version.
When it came to Tuoba Lin, this guy felt that the treatment of his tribe was similar to the current situation of the tribe led by Tan Shihuai and He Lian, and both had some strong branches and weak trunks, so he came up with a plan.
A rather interesting method - "Divide the people of the country into seven parts, and let each brother take charge of them, and then divide their clans", that is, on the surface, they announce the separation of the family, and then use various means to allow each brother after the separation to share part of the original family.
The scattered tribes are under their control.
On the surface, the strength of his own clan was dispersed and weakened. Maybe there were smart people who broke out turmoil for this, but because the brothers worked together, they finally turned the originally scattered and huge tribal alliance into his Tuoba clan's family world, and
The Tuoba clan's credible status was thus established. Later, it is estimated that others
The relatives of his uncles were jealous, so Tuoba Lin promoted the two uncles who had a good relationship based on the principle of sharing the rain and the dew, and thus formed the later "Ten Imperial Surnames". Well, this system is actually quite good.
Tuoba Lin was not the first to create this. In fact, the kings of the Xiongnu were similar to this.
In fact, this method should be familiar to modern people. It is the so-called holding. Based on the parent company, a part of the money is used to acquire the stocks of other companies. As long as it exceeds 40%, you can basically control the entire company. If it doesn't work, just do 51
% of the absolute holding. Although the parent company’s assets have not changed much after discounting, the total assets of the entire group have nearly doubled.
By the way, as Tuoba Lin's apprentice, Japanese-law deduction failed to help Helian solve the problem of the unstable foundation of the Xianbei royal family. Although there may be reasons why Helian did not listen to his opinions, I am afraid that the more reason is the Japanese-law deduction.
I only learned how to "deduct", but I didn't know that sometimes a good political system is far more useful than those deductions, so I didn't do much research at all.
Tuoba Lin made Tuoba Xianbei's strength flourish, but trouble soon came again. There were many swamps in Hulun Pond. Although there were many aquatic plants, they would fall into the ditch if they couldn't hold them up, so Tuoba Xianbei, who also has the title of "Deduction"
Ba Lin knew that he should also learn to deduce that his family would move southward for the rest of his life. But he was old, and his body's functions had been almost completely exhausted by calculations and battles.
So the important task of moving south fell on the new leader of the Tuoba clan, Tuoba Jiefen, the youngest son of Tuoba Lin. You must know that although the Xianbei Alliance in the south, founded by Tan Shihuai, had a lot of cracks, The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Tuoba Xianbei's little possessions are really not enough for him to share. Therefore, Tuoba Jiefen's burden is really very heavy.
Another supporter of He Lian comes from the Yuwen tribe, and his clan leader is named Yuwen Puhui. There is not much to say about this person. The only thing worth writing about is that his descendants said that he was Yandi Shennong when they wrote a biography for him. A descendant of the Xianbei family later picked up three very impressive jade seals while hunting, and then changed his surname to the word Yuwen according to the Xianbei language.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of story is just as far-fetched by future generations as the story about a certain Red Emperor's son killing the White Emperor's son. If it weren't for the efforts of descendants, it would probably become a fantasy that someone picked up three quite unique stones. The surname Yuwen was created after the onset of the disease.
Like Tuoba, Yuwen was also a tribe that came to submit to Xianbei because of its strength. The Yuwen tribe came from the Northern Xiongnu and was mainly located in the Yinshan Mountains. However, because of their origin, they were marginalized by the local Xianbei tribe and the Southern Xiongnu tribes. In order to Regarding the interests of the ethnic group, Yuwen Puhui is also a staunch supporter of Helian. And because his strength is far less than that of the Tuoba clan, Helian is still more inclined to the Yuwen clan than the Tuoba clan, which has a compact internal structure.
These three troops plus the company's own troops formed the main force of the western Xianbei invasion southward. However, Ke Zui and Queju from the central Xianbei were too late to join the company's cavalry, so they could not come to join them, so they could only set the target. Youzhou can be regarded as a side force along the way.
Originally, there was another tribe that could be used by He Lian, and that was the Murong clan. This clan has a long history, and can even be traced back to the Huangdi period, competing with the Yuwen tribe. This tribe is located in Xianbei in the central part of the country. After He Lian came to power, he was gradually supported and used to fight against Ke Zui and others, but this time he went to the east to support him at the request of the Eastern Xianbei Lord Mijia, who was still respectful to He Lian.
However, even with this, the total strength of Helian's troops heading south reached nearly 60,000.
This is not the 60,000-strong Jie people's half of the logistics force that is highly watered down, but 60,000 solid elite troops. Because this time Helian pursues a blitzkrieg of quick strikes and quick closings, so in addition to a certain target Helian is not prepared to spend too much time under other fortified cities, and those logistics personnel also need to replace their men, fathers, and sons at home to carry out the most important breeding work on the grassland in spring. Han people sow seeds and grassland breeding are not essentially the same. Is it the same?
Of course, pulling one out later will result in reduced yields, while pulling out the other later can ensure a better harvest, so there are still differences.
Sure enough, life is just a dialectic, sigh...
Looking at the neatly arranged troops in front of them, they are the source of Helian's pride and the pride of Helian's confidence in being able to unify the grassland. No enemy can stop the direction of his troops.
There was a Qiang rebellion in the west, a Xianbei bandit in the center, and Karasuma in the east was still unstable. If the theme of the first year of Zhongping was civil strife, then obviously the theme of the second year of Zhongping would be foreign enemies.
It seems that I should say something like this at the end of this article: "Rolling wheel of history, you have begun to squeak and squeak forward again." But it seems that there are many little butterflies trying to incite them next to that heavy and heavy wheel.
wings in order to become the much-anticipated Amazon butterfly. So, in fact, people’s wheels mean that their duck pears are very big!
