In the blink of an eye, it is already the summer and May of AD 207, the fifteenth year of the Yanxing period of the Han Dynasty. Two years have passed since the thrilling battle at the foot of Baishan Mountain. This time is the hottest time of the year, but
For the terroir of the desert Saibei, it is a different story.
The hot wind from the Bohai Sea was blocked by the Yinshan Mountains of Yanshan, causing sudden rain in Hebei. However, the wind on the Saibei Plateau was still desolate and dry. It came from the extreme north, blowing from the icebergs to the sand sea, carrying a
The strange roughness of the gravel in their mouths, such a strange feeling, made a team of people who could climb over the Yinshan Mountains and continue their journey north feel fresh.
When they set out from Jinyang, they were still wearing single clothes and even silk clothes, and they were carrying wine and plum juice to relieve the heat on their horses. Even so, a dark and hot damp mist shrouded the mountains and rivers, making everyone sweat profusely every day, and soon they
I finished the drink I had brought with me. Then I looked for cold water along the way and drank from it repeatedly. Both humans and animals were listless.
Unexpectedly, after crossing Yinshan Mountain, at dusk that day, a cold mud rain suddenly fell head-on. The soldiers hurriedly took out the raincoats from their luggage and put them on, looking at the surrounding fields, they saw that the originally green cliffs were slowly covered by muddy yellow. The river valleys were covered with yellow mud.
It was completely silent, and only the sound of rustling muddy water hitting the ground could be heard. This group of lonely people and horses walked helplessly in the endless muddy world, waiting tremblingly.
Let the rain stop.
When the rain stopped at night, before everyone had time to rejoice, they discovered that the wind on the plug seemed to be unstoppable. After a while, the water vapor dried up, and there was still the heat of the south of Yinshan Mountain. When the sun rose the next day, the dim sunshine
When it fell, people felt that the warmth was weak. Fortunately, everyone put on fur coats and animal skin hats, which were enough to withstand the blue wind. They walked all the way through hundreds of miles of yellow sand and were able to see Mobei.
This vast and endless prairie.
The guide led them on horseback to the north, whereupon the people galloped in the open fields, and billows of dust and smoke rose on the ground. At this time, clear cries came from the sky, and looking up, several goshawks were seen circling in the clear sky, seemingly
The floating yellow dust was used as a target for fighting. This made the people on the ground laugh, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, singing in harmony with the goshawks.
After running through dozens of green hills, people finally saw a towering mountain still covered with white snow. That was their destination - Langjuxu Mountain. As soon as they saw the foot of the mountain, a group of people and horses were far away.
He came up from a distance and asked as he walked: "Are they the general and Prime Minister Chen?"
Liu Bei, the leader, recognized that it was Tuoba Liwei's cousin Tuoba Fei, and immediately waved his hand and replied: "Ha, they are all here, where are Yuanlong and Liwei?"
Tuoba Feilema smiled and said: "Of course I'm waiting for you two!"
Chen Chong, who was beside Liu Bei, took off his fur hat and asked, "Are the rest of the people here? It's no surprise, right?"
"If we don't all arrive, how can we dare to send a message to you? They are all waiting in the big tent!"
The group of people then dismounted and walked slowly toward the valley.
After the Second Battle of Pingcheng, although the Western Dynasty won a complete victory, it suffered heavy losses and had to spend a year to recuperate. It had no plans to launch another offensive against the Eastern Dynasty in a short time. But for the future
Kebineng's vitality was damaged, but Chen Chong persisted in pursuing and annihilating the fundamental idea. Therefore, in the 13th year of Yanxing, the Yunbei Changshi Mansion was established to help Tuoba Liwei restore the country, while appeasing and recruiting the Xianbei tribes in Monan.
Department, while inquiring about Ke Bineng's information.
In the fourteenth year of Yanxing's reign, Chen Deng found out that Kebineng was temporarily stationed in Jiluo Mountain in Mobei, trying to recruit Gao Che, Duan, Murong and other tribesmen in order to make a comeback. He made a prompt decision and only sent a letter to
After taking over the mansion, he and Tuoba Li led six thousand elite cavalry to secretly cross the desert, drive straight into the Junji Mountains, and take Kebineng's royal court directly.
It was the first month of spring, the weather was bitter and cold, the horses were hungry and thin, many of the tribes under Kebineng were separated, and there were still many wounded soldiers who had not yet recovered. These matters made Kebineng very upset and he did not go outside the royal court.
Spreading scouts. This caused him to be completely unprepared for the coming danger. He didn't notice it until Heng's army was twenty miles away from camp. At this time, he could not reorganize his army and fight again, so he could only abandon his tent and flee westward again. Tuoba Li was weak day and night.
They chased and followed him for more than sixty miles. Although Ke Bineng was lucky enough to escape again, at this time, of the more than 30,000 people who had followed him, less than 4,000 people were left around Kebineng.<
/p>
Tuoba Liwei's reputation shocked Mobei, and Chen Deng took advantage of the situation to send out messages to various tribes in Xianbei, asking for Kebineng's head for thousands of gold. For a while, Kebineng was in great trouble, and he didn't know where he was, so he could only spend his days hunting in the Yanran area.
, no longer have the style of dominating the grassland in the past.
In the middle of this year, Kebineng's son-in-law Yu Zhugan couldn't bear the bitter cold, so he assassinated Kebineng and his brother Juluohou, and took their heads to the Changshi Mansion to receive the reward. After hearing about this, the court couldn't help but sigh.
The number one hero of Xianbei since Tan Shihuai died quietly in the hands of his own people. I wonder if he regretted his hesitation on the battlefield of Pingcheng before his death?
But Kebineng was about to die, and the position of overlord on the grassland would be vacant. In order to prevent the vacuum of power from falling into the hands of others, Fazheng suggested to Liu Bei that he might as well go to the grassland to meet with the leaders of various tribes to reaffirm the authority of the imperial court.
Liu Bei then set the location of the alliance at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain. Firstly, it was to commemorate Huo Qubing's great victory over the Xiongnu hundreds of years ago. Secondly, it was also to comfort the ancestors. After all, future generations will not be inferior to their predecessors.
However, unexpectedly, after Liu Bei decided to travel, Chen Chong also rarely put down his affairs and planned to leave it to Zhong Yao and Kong Ming before heading north with Liu Bei. This caused a lot of discussion among the government and the public. After all, Chen Chong has always been diligent in his work.
He was famous for reporting six hundred stones from each county, and he often personally accepted them all. Before the Lu Bu Rebellion, he stayed away from Chang'an for six years, so the people in Guanzhong joked that he was the "Prime Minister of Anju". This time he wanted to accompany him.
Traveling is really difficult for everyone to understand.
On this day of the meeting, there were as many as thirty-seven Mobei tribes who came to join the alliance at the foot of the mountain. Their residences ranged from the Daxianbei Mountains in the east to the Qilian Mountains in the west, and even to the nomadic Ding Ling in the North Sea.
People also have tribes who come to pay homage.

Liu Bei has lived in Jinyang for a long time and has interacted a lot with the Xianbei people, so he also knows some Xianbei dialect. At this time, he can talk freely with the leaders of various tribes, which makes them quite flattered. After the exchange, everyone saw that Liu Bei was majestic and heroic, and he only interacted with others.
After just a few conversations, I can remember everyone's names and preferences. By the time we have a banquet that night, we have become familiar with each other like old friends, and we gradually develop some admiration for them.
Early the next morning, Liu Bei set up an altar to worship heaven on the hillside of Langjuxu Mountain, and ordered the accompanying musicians to play "He Ming Song". Then he and the others slaughtered a green bull and drank its blood as an alliance. Then Liu Bao was on the left and Tuoba Liwei was weak.
On the right, the leaders of the other tribes behind them all swore an oath to the sky, saying:
"No one is king unless he is ordered by the court, no one is guilty unless he abuses the Han people, and no one raises an army unless he is first victimized."
"Anyone who violates this oath will be attacked by all departments."
After the oath of alliance was over, Liu Bei gave everyone silk treasures. Among them were five hundred swords, made of iron from Xiangshan Mountain. The swords were all inscribed with the word "Zhang Wu", which was very popular among the leaders. When the banquet was held again at noon,
All the leaders present at the meeting agreed to send the hostages to the court, and the purpose of this trip was successfully completed. However, before and after the covenant, Chen Chong only watched from the sidelines and did not participate in it. As a result, everyone in the meeting saw that he was dressed simply and thought he was a hegemon.
He was an ordinary staff member in the government, but after being introduced by Liu Bei, he found out that he was an extraordinary beauty in China.
When the meeting was over, Chen Chong found Master Ding Ling Zhai Sata and asked him in Xianbei dialect: "I want to see Beihai (Lake Baikal) in the north. I wonder if you can lead the way for me?"
Zhai Sata was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Bei. Liu Bei smiled and nodded: "I'm going with him too, so I'll have to worry about you taking care of him on the way."
The next day, the group set out again from the foot of Langjuxu Mountain. They made a large circle from the northwest, and then continued north along an open mountain road. The further north they went, the higher the peaks at the foot of the mountain rose.
The mountain road became increasingly narrow, but the grassland was gradually replaced by dense pine forest. However, everyone rode fast for seven or eight days in a row, covering about 500 miles. There was no time to look at the surrounding scenery. When the wind blew,
After feeling the cold and damp wind, I realized that I was not far from the North Sea.
Only then did they realize that the sky was so clear. The space between the aqua blue sky and the solid rocky ground was as transparent as glass. Even the clouds no longer seemed heavy. The edges were as thin as silk and trembled, as if they could be touched.
As if. The horseshoes are surrounded by shallow wet moss, and clusters of meadows can be seen on the soil in the distance. Between the mountains and the green fir trees, you can vaguely see the snow-white birds and the sound of the waves of the North Sea. p>
After rounding the last cliff, a patch of waves suddenly appeared in front of Chen Chong. He discovered that the white birds he had just seen were seagulls perching on the beach. A few rocks protruding among the pure waves were several seals.
Lazily bathing in the light, and continuing to look north, he could see the snow-capped mountains and their reflections. Chen Chong couldn't help but dismount his horse and walk to the coast, took a sip of sea water and drank it. It was unexpectedly cold and icy.
This cheered up Chen Chong, and then he slowly stood up and said to Liu Bei: "This is where Su Wu shepherds sheep."
Liu Bei walked over slowly, looked around, and felt the slight coolness in the summer wind. He imagined the ice and snow here in winter, and couldn't help but sigh: "Su Ziqing can stick to this place for nineteen years, and his ethics are really better than ice and snow.
Worthy of being a famous minister of Qilin Pavilion1]."
Liu Bao who followed was dumbfounded. He had only heard of Beihai from Yu Fuluo's words. To the Huns, they had not seen this ancestral land for nearly a hundred years.
While Chen Chong looked at the scenery of Beihai, he thought in his heart: "If I have seen such a glorious scenery, how can I be willing to be a secular scholar?" Then he thought: "It's a pity that I can't stay long now until the country is unified.
, I am free, it would be great if I could come here to rest again."
They spent the night by the lake so that they could follow the north wind south to Bingzhou the next day.

He recalled the ministers who had made great contributions to the left in the past, so he had eleven heroes painted in the Qilin Pavilion to commemorate and praise them.
