Chapter 22 Ke Bi Neng holds the whip and fights against Youzhou
It has been more than a hundred years since the rise of Xianbei, but since the death of Tan Shihuai, its influence has been greatly weakened. Tan Shihuai's grandson Qianman and the regent Kuitou have been fighting for power for several years, superimposing official titles and issuing many orders.
In just a few years, all the tribes were separated from each other. From the north of Helan Mountain to the south of Yinshan Mountain, they were all fighting against each other. It was no longer like the time when Tan Shihuai gave an order, and half a million warriors gathered in the palace of Khanshan. Kyushu was
Spectacular scene taken by the soul.
But this does not mean that Xianbei is declining. On the contrary, among the struggles and struggles of various tribes, Xianbei is brewing more and more heroes. Tan Shihuai's unification has given them a clear goal, and Tan Shihuai's
Death gave them another chance to rise. On the vast plateau from Yanran Mountain to Xianbei Mountain, the warriors on horseback and holding bows had great ambitions. God destined them to do something earth-shattering.
The leader among them is Kebineng.
No one knows what Ke Bineng's real surname is, and no one knows where he was born. When the Xianbei people first met Ke Bineng, he appeared in Baishan and was a handsome man from a small tribe.
He is not from here. He was elected as the leader because he helped this tribe avoid the jackals and survive the winter. When others asked him about his surname and origin, he only smiled and said that a surname like a rat or a rabbit is not
It is worth saying, but speaking out will only lead to contempt in vain. He just wants to use swords and whips, bows and horses to carve his name of Kebineng into the blood of the Xianbei people, and then use Kebineng as his surname to be passed down to future generations.
.
He said this in his mouth and acted in this way. Among the Xianbei tribe, Tanshihuai was valued highly, so he imitated Tanshihuai everywhere.
At the beginning of Tan Shihuai's rise, he was the commander-in-chief of his maternal ancestors. He established the Xianbei laws and rectified the faults of all tribes, and then he was elected as the leader of most tribes. Even though Ke Bineng was born unworthy of Tan Shihuai Yuan Yuan, the same was true.
As a result, whenever there is a situation where a large clan oppresses a small clan, Kebineng will personally mediate the dispute regardless of the difference in power.
At the beginning, due to his weak power, his actions were mostly laughed at by others. However, he was a strong man, upright in dealing with things, upright in his judgment, and not greedy for money. As time went by, he really won the hearts of the people of the Baishan tribe, and was later officially elected as the leader of the Baishan tribe.
Coinciding with the great chaos in Hebei, many Han people from Hebei Province fled outside the Great Wall. Kebi was able to encourage them with farm animals, and also reused his craftsmen to excavate rocks for gold and silver. From then on, he gradually prospered and became one of the rare forces in eastern Xianbei.
Qianman heard of his virtuous name at Danhan Mountain and ordered to summon Kebineng. Kebineng immediately led his people there and delivered four carts of swords, thousands of war horses, and three hundred slaves to Danhanshan. When he met Qianman, he
His attitude could not be more submissive. Qian Man was deeply satisfied and immediately appointed Ke Bi as the Lord of the East, giving him the power to control the eastern tribes so as to help him fight against the leader.
However, a few years later, Qian Man did not expect that Leader and Bu Dugen, whom he thought were powerful enemies, died at Yanmen at the same time, and Ke Bineng, whom he thought was a strong supporter, gradually became independent. In the third year of Chuping,
Qian Man tried to conquer the newly-rising Tuoba Xianbei, but fought with him in Wuquan, but was defeated.
In desperation, Qianman ordered Kebineng to come to help. But when Kebineng came to Danhan Mountain again, he brought 60,000 people to control the strings. He led the army and drove straight into the royal court. Then he summoned the leaders of various ministries and angrily rebuked Qianman in public.
: As a Chanyu, the country was in chaos but not peaceful, and the people were not saved from disasters. He acted for personal gain and kept himself in prison, which caused the various departments to alienate and the country collapsed. Jianman was silent but could not answer, and Kebi Neng then announced in public that he would abolish Jianman as Chanyu.
He married Qian Man's sister and established himself as a chanyu of Xianbei.
Since then, Kebineng has ruled more than 600,000 people, ruling a vast area west of Danhan Mountain and east of Yuyang, and has 100,000 warriors under his command.
In October of the first year of Yanxing, after Yuan Shao negotiated peace with Gengcang's army, he began to think about how to recover the lost territory in the north. Xu You, the military advisor, came up with a plan and said that if he wanted to get rid of Gongsun Zan, Jizhou would have to do it alone, so it would be better to rely on Xianbei Wu.
Huan's forces will attack from the north and the south, and Gongsun Zan will be unable to defeat him.
The rest of the counselors also generally agreed with this idea. After all, supporting Ke Bineng would not only have the effect of attacking Gongsun Zan from both sides, but also restrain Bingzhou so that he would not dare to use his troops rashly. Yuan Shao then sent Wu Meng from the Prefectural Mufu to engage in Qu Yi and his nephew Gao Gan and others.
Carrying the map of Youzhou and Bingzhou, he secretly went to the royal court of Danhan Mountain, hoping to make an alliance with Ke Bineng.
Kebi Neng was overjoyed after receiving the map and immediately formed an alliance with Gao Gan and others. However, he postponed the attack on Gongsun Zan until next year. Kebi Neng wanted to invade Bingzhou directly and eliminate Tuo Tuogen on the grounds of revenge for Bu Dugen, the leader.
After Xianbei, he invited Gao Gan and his entourage to accompany the army. Gao Gan and others also wanted to see the bravery of this new chanyu, so they happily agreed.
It was November in winter, the weather was freezing, the horses were hungry and thin, and the pastures were all yellow. Ke Bineng led his army around Yanmen, sneaked into Yunzhong County from the north bank of Yanze, bypassed Wujin and Chengle all the way, and headed straight for Tuo.
In the clouds of Wang Ting of Xianbei.
At this time, the main force of the Tuoba tribe was still resting in the Wuquan area. The only ones in the clouds were the old man Tuoba Lin and his various tribes, old and young. They were completely unprepared for the coming danger. It was not until Kebi could go to camp thirty miles away
Only then did they realize that when all the tribesmen saw this, they knew that it was impossible to fight against them, so they fled to Wuquan in a hurry, but Kebi Neng chased them day and night, and ran into Wuquan's returning army the next day.
The two sides immediately started a battle in Beiyu. Tuoba Jiefen formed the formation in a hurry, but Kebi had no time to eat and drink, so he immediately charged into the formation with thousands of horses. At this time, the northwest wind was strong, and the cold wind hit his face like a knife.
Neng's subordinates fired arrows in the wind, and thousands of arrows flew into Tuoba's formation like locusts.
Ke Bineng divided his cavalry to outflank the flanks. Not to be outdone, the Tuoba people also spread their wings to resist. The two armies crisscrossed each other like a long dragon entangled, and the sound of killing shook the heaven and the earth. Jizhou Wumeng had been engaged in Quyi for a long time and was Yuan Shao's rely on.
The general who was fighting against Gongsun Zan could not help but change his face in this situation. When he saw the high official covering his face with a turban to protect him from the wind, he grabbed his bridle and pointed his head at him and yelled at him: "The Eastern captives are more powerful than the Western captives. Today
Ke Bineng will definitely win a great victory, but it is hard to say whether the country will be peaceful within a hundred years!"
As he spoke, both wings of the Tuoba tribe were defeated, and the battlefield turned into a massacre. Shortly after Tuoba Lin returned to his son, he was shot to death by random arrows. Tuoba Jiefen himself was also hit by an arrow and fell from his horse.
Knowing that the deadline had come, he only told Tuoba Liwei to flee eastward to Pingcheng for help, and then slit his throat and killed himself. Most of the other children and adults of the Tuoba tribe were captured, except for the prince Tuoba Liwei and Tuoba Jiefen's younger brother Tuoba.
Basao Wu's son Tuoba Gutu fled with hundreds of horses to Yanmen Pingcheng.
The Xianbei tribes in Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and Monan were all horrified when they saw that the Tuoba tribe was defeated in one battle. They all offered tribute to Kebineng and recognized Kebineng's dominance. The few who were unwilling to surrender were
Fleeing to Xianbei in the west and even the Western Regions, patrolling the northern wilderness and not daring to return, it is quite similar to the sad scene when the Northern Huns drove out the grasslands for Xianbei.
From then on, Ke Bineng returned to Danhan Mountain and made an appointment with Gao Gan and others to attack Gongsun Zan from both sides in the autumn of next year. Although Gao Gan and others were worried about Ke Bineng's strength, they were full of confidence in defeating Gongsun Zan.
In the Ming Dynasty, the state capital was able to occupy the land of Youyan and dominate the world with its powerful cavalry. Everyone was elated and overjoyed.
When it came to returning to Youzhou, although Gongsun Zan was not clear about Yuan Shao's movements, he was not unaware of them. Since the truce and peace talks, he had been always preparing for next year's war. As soon as Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Xufu entered Zhongshan,
In the two kingdoms of Changshan, Gongsun Zan immediately ordered them to recruit more troops and contact the powerful.
At the same time, Gongsun Zan himself recruited warriors in Youzhou to form a new army. He asked Tian Kai and others to reorganize the army while personally negotiating with Wuhuan tribes in an attempt to obtain some war horses. However, within half a year, Gongsun Zan got another
There were more than 40,000 people, including more than 20,000 cavalry. Their momentum was so powerful in Hebei that their military fame spread beyond the Great Wall. Even Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, sent envoys to make friends with them. The local people lamented: When Sanming in Liangzhou pacified the border areas, its momentum was probably only
It looks like Jihou.
It's just that although Gongsun Zan won a powerful army, he gradually developed a rift with Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.
As a shepherd in Youzhou, Liu Yu was also granted the title of Grand Sima by Dong Zhuo. His prestige in the government and the public was unmatched by anyone. Not to mention Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, even Liu Bei, who was now a general, was not as good as him. In terms of moral standing alone, Liu Yu was an honest official, cherished the power of the people, did not attach importance to the powerful, did not worship the superiors and belittle the inferiors, and had the style of an ancient saint. In the muddy court of the late emperor, he could be called a real clean stream.
In addition, Liu Yu was not only a famous minister in the court, but also the descendant of Guangwu's eldest son, Prince Donghai Gong. In terms of blood lineage, apart from the current emperor, Liu Yu was the most recent. Therefore, the world not only regarded Liu Yu as a good minister who helped the country, but also regarded him as a good minister.
As the leader of the clan.
But Liu Yu was so prestigious and entrusted with such an important task for the country, Gongsun Zan actually refused to obey orders. Earlier, Yuan Shao and Liu Yu had a good relationship and did not allow Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou, but Gongsun Zan refused to listen. After a year without success, Gongsun Zan still refused to obey orders.
He conscripted troops without authorization, and when making a deal with Wuhuan, he forced Wuhuan to recruit 9,000 horses in the name of the general Liu Bei. Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun reported this to Liu Yu. Liu Yu was very angry and ordered Gongsun Zan to return the troops.
Ma, Gongsun Zan still doesn’t listen.
Yuan Shao's agents in Youzhou learned of the news, and took the opportunity to go for a walk among the people and sing a ballad: "The white horse rides on the clear stream, dominating the second grandson of Yan. Pity Bo An Gong, Jicheng is like a sand dune." Another saying: "You have no idea.
The officials and ministers have no top, how can the ten counties be like Youzhou?" These ballads mean that Liu Yu was replaced by Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du, and no one in Youzhou obeyed the orders of the state capital.
After Liu Yu heard about this, he became even more resentful towards Gongsun Zan. After discussing with the state staff, he first went to the court to reprimand Gongsun Zan for all his violations of discipline and law, hoping that the court would uphold justice. Then he issued the order in the name of Grand Sima.
Gongsun Zan abandoned his army and returned to his government.
Although Gongsun Zan was not willing to obey orders, Liu Yu sent two articles, and he also returned two articles. First, he returned the letter to Liu Yu on the grounds that he had the post of General Fenwu, saying that he had the right to make arbitrary decisions and not obey orders. At the same time, he also sent a letter to Liu Bei,
He expressed Yuan Shao's rebellious intentions and hoped that Liu Bei would appoint him as Jizhou Mu. Once Yuan Shao rebelled and declared chaos, he would be able to eliminate the troubles in Hebei.
As a result, Chen Chong received a letter from Liu Yu, and Liu Bei received a letter from Gongsun Zan, and both of them fell into deep thought.
