Chapter 512: Seeking an alliance to defend against it
Qin Dan spit out a piece of sheep bone, paused and said: "If Kebineng is still alive, it is probably me, Jiangdong, who asked him to form an alliance.
And if Gao Xunli has not subjugated the country today, I am afraid that he will not be a force that can be fully used by me. I think they will raise prices for gold, silver, weapons, women, and even the land of Youzhou.
."
Quan Cong also nodded and said: "Yes, after all, those who are not from my race must have different hearts. For foreign races such as Xianbei and Gao Xunli, we must not dig deep into our hearts to form alliances with them. We must both use them and guard against them!"
Quan Cong thought for a moment, looked around at the generals in the hall and warned: "Generals, please remember not to teach them the art of war, the art of war, or the manufacturing methods of siege equipment that you have learned.
Of course, we must always be wary of them. Ke Bineng became powerful only after he learned some of the Central Plains' methods of leading troops."
How to completely solve Kebineng has become a problem that Cao Wei has to consider. In this regard, Cao Wei has two schools of opinion.
One group, represented by Tian Yu, advocated continuing to divide Kebineng and using Xianbei's internal conflicts to resolve it. However, this would take a certain amount of time and would not be effective quickly.
The other faction is represented by Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou. He believes that Tian Yu's method will continue to disrupt the borders of Youzhou and consume the country's strength, so the strategy must be changed.
Tian Yu and Wang Xiong had different opinions, and the discord between the two sides quickly evolved into impeachment and criticism among officials.
Because Tian Yu lived a frugal and poor life and did not save money, he had no connections in the government and the public. Wang Xiong, on the other hand, had many "branch parties" in the government and the public, and had intricate connections in Youzhou. In order to concurrently hold the position that Tian Yu held, he
As Colonel Karasuma, he used his connections to impeach Tian Yu's actions during his tenure.
In the end, Tian Yu was transferred to the post of governor of Runan, resigned as captain of Karasuma, and left the northern Xinjiang region where he had been fighting for many years.
When Ke Bi Neng saw Tian Yu's transfer, he launched a large-scale invasion of Cao Wei. Wang Xiong felt the pressure. In order to completely solve the problem of Ke Bi Neng, he came up with a completely different strategy from Tian Yu, which was to take a beheading action and directly assassinate Ke Bi.
Able to avoid future troubles.
However, this method is too risky and has a low success rate.
However, Wang Xiong had already impeached and transferred Tian Yu, so in the face of pressure, he had to give it a try, so he sent the warrior Han Long as an assassin to assassinate Ke Bineng outside the Great Wall, and finally succeeded.
This beheading operation is only briefly mentioned in historical records as "Wang Xiong sent Han Long out of the fortress to assassinate him and make him his younger brother." Although the specific process is unknown, it leaves us with too much room for imagination.
According to "Assassination", it is known that Han Long was most likely to go to the outside of the Great Wall alone in this operation, but from the "replacement of his younger brother" and the fact that Cao Pi once praised Wang Xiong for his "guts, intelligence, skills, civil and military demeanor"
look,
Wang Xiong should have done enough work beforehand. The most likely way is to take advantage of internal conflicts and have already reached a consensus with Ke Bineng's younger brother, asking him to serve as an internal coordinator to support Han Long, and to correct his position after the incident is completed.
After Cao Wei succeeded in beheading Ke Bineng, he appointed his younger brother to rule them all.
This not only completely solved the Kebineng problem and caused it to fall into large-scale civil strife again, but also greatly frightened other Xianbei tribes.
After that, the stronger Xianbei tribes stayed away from Cao Wei's attack, while the weak ones moved in. There were no more wars in the Monan area for decades, and Cao Wei's frontiers gained rare peace.
It is said that in the early years of the Huang Dynasty, Kebi was not able to defeat the Wei army in a hundred battles. There were wins and losses from time to time, but Cao Wei still saw the threat he posed to the Central Plains. After all, he sometimes rebelled and sometimes surrendered, and was capricious.
In the second year of Huangchu (221), Kebineng expelled more than 500 Wei people living in Xianbei and asked them to return to Dai County to live.
In the third year of Huangchu (222), Ke Bineng led more than 3,000 tribesmen cavalry, drove more than 70,000 cattle and horses to trade with the Central Plains, and sent more than 1,000 Wei people to live in the upper valley.
Later, Kebineng fought with the eastern Xianbei leaders Suli and Budugen. Suli asked Wuwan captain Tian Yu for help. Tian Yu was worried that they would merge with each other and cause greater harm. He believed that the kind should be rescued and the evil punished.
, to show prestige to various tribes.
So he led his elite soldiers alone and went deep into the areas controlled by Xianbei. There were many Xianbei troops, and they looted the Wei army in front and behind, cutting off the retreat route.
Tian Yu then led his army to advance. When he was more than ten miles away from the Xianbei army, he set up camp, collected a lot of cow and horse dung, burned it, and withdrew by another road.
When Kebi saw the fireworks, he thought Tian Yu's army was still there, so he left. After walking for dozens of miles, he discovered that Tian Yu had withdrawn.
Ke Bineng then led his army to pursue Tian Yu to Macheng and besieged it heavily. Tian Yu defended tightly and ordered Sima to set up flags, play drums, and led the infantry and cavalry to fight out from the south gate. Where did the Xianbei army focus their attention?
, and attack wherever you go.
Tian Yuze led the elite cavalry to rush out from the north gate, beating drums and shouting for a kill. Attacks were launched from both sides. The Xianbei army was caught off guard, and their positions were in chaos. They all abandoned their bows and their horses fled.
Tian Yu led his troops to attack continuously for more than 20 miles, and the corpses of Xianbei soldiers were all over the field.
In the fifth year of Huangchu (224), Kebineng invaded Suli again. Tian Yu led his light cavalry to contain Kebineng's rear. Kebineng sent his troops, Suonu, to resist Tian Yu. Tian Yu sent out a surprise force to repel Suonu.
.
In the sixth year of Huangchu (225), Kebineng was defeated by Liang Xi, the governor of Bingzhou.
Kebineng was repeatedly interfered by Tian Yu and others in the war to annex various ministries. As a result, he became rebellious and wrote a letter to General Xian Yufu, saying: "Hu people are illiterate. The late captain Yan Rou
Recommend it to the emperor for me.
I had an enemy with Su Li and sent troops to attack him in previous years, but Tian Yu helped Su Li.
I sent Zonu to the position. When I heard that you were coming, I immediately withdrew the army.
Bu Dugen robbed everywhere, killed my brother, and falsely accused me of being a robber.
We are backward and do not know etiquette and justice, but we accept the emperor's seal and ribbon, and the cattle and horses know that water and grass are beautiful, not to mention that I still have a human heart. The general should explain the situation to the emperor for me."
After Xian Yufu got the letter, he reported it to the court, and Cao Pi sent Tian Yu to recruit and comfort him. As a result, Ke Bineng's power became stronger, commanding more than 100,000 people.
He distributed the looted property equally and dealt with it in front of everyone. He never acted selfishly, so his subordinates were willing to work for him to the death. The leaders of other tribes respected him.
But his power is still not as powerful as Tan Shihuai.
In the second year of Taihe (228), Tian Yu sent his translator Xia She to the tribe of Yu Zhugejian, the son-in-law of Kebineng. Xiashe was killed by Yuzhugejian.
In the autumn of this year, Tian Yu led Putou, Xianbei in the west, to go out of the fortress to attack Yuzhu Gejian, and won a great victory.
When Tian Yu led his troops back to Macheng, Kebineng led 30,000 troops and besieged Tian Yu for seven days.
Yan Zhi, the governor of Shanggu, was Yan Rou's younger brother and had always been trusted by the Xianbei people.
Yan Zhi went to explain and persuade Tian Yu to relieve the siege.
Later, Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, also served as the school captain and implemented a policy of appeasement and trust towards Xianbei. Kebi Neng entered the fortress many times and paid tribute to Youzhou...
