Chapter 515: A foreign race with many talented people, entrusted to the virtual snake's necessity
Quan Zong looked at the map of Youzhou and thought of the three major tribes of Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan who once wreaked havoc in Youzhou.
He couldn't help but sigh alone: "This alien race is just like the Central Plains. There are many capable people. From the Warring States to the present, many military conquests have been sent out but they have not been able to completely destroy them.
It is still a serious problem in the Central Plains. I never thought that today I would have to rely on the help of foreigners like the Yuan family. Alas, it’s only my fault that the combat power of my Jiangdong cavalry is still a little weak!"
In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao died shortly after being defeated by Cao Cao, and Tadun still supported the Yuan family. Subsequently, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought with each other for inheritance rights, and Cao Cao benefited from it.
Soon, Yuan Tan was killed in a battle with Cao Cao, and Yuan Shang defected to his second brother Yuan Xi in Youzhou. The Yuan brothers were attacked by rebels in Youzhou, and fled north to Wuhuan for help, hoping to use Wuhuan's strength to regain control of the Central Plains.
.
At this time, Wuhuan united under the leadership of Tadun. Tadun's powerful power led to rumors that he would imitate the Xiongnu Maodun Chanyu and Xianbei Tanshihuai to establish hegemony among the northern nomadic tribes.
After the Yuan brothers and a large number of followers arrived, Tadun was able to command the Wuhuan and Han people, with a population of more than 300,000, to dominate the barbarians.
Tadun thought that Yuan Shang was taking back his hometown, so he attacked the border several times and robbed 100,000 households in Youzhou.
In the tenth year of Jian'an (AD 205), Tadun led three counties, Wuhuan, to send troops to attack Xian Yufu.
For this reason, Cao Cao determined to expedition to Tadun to eliminate future troubles for the unification of the north.
Since the time of Yuan Shao, the three counties of Wuhuan have been Yuan's military allies; during Cao Cao's attack on Ye and Yuan Shang's escape to the north, the position of Wuhuan of the three counties in supporting Yuan against Cao was very clear.
In the ninth year of Jian'an (AD 204), Cao Cao wanted to attack Yuan Tan, "but Wu Wan from Liucheng wanted to ride out to assist Tan." Cao Cao ordered him to recruit Wu Wan to Liucheng.
, King Qiao and others were convinced and did not send troops, so Cao Cao was able to attack Ye with all his strength.
In the 10th year of Jian'an (205), Yuyang Xianyu surrendered to Cao Cao, and "Wuhuan from the three counties attacked Xianyu Yuyubaoping. In autumn and August, Cao besieged Du and others and beheaded them; then he crossed the Lu River to rescue Guangping, and Wuhuan walked out
"Fortress." At this point, Wuhuan from the three counties had a military conflict with Cao Cao.
In May of the twelfth year of Jian'an (AD 207), Cao Cao led his army to Wujing (today's Ji County, Jin City), preparing to leave Binhai Road, pass Jieshi, and attack Liucheng.
However, it was summer at that time, and the heavy rain continued, making it difficult to travel in the mud along the coast. The Wuhuan people sent troops to guard the important transportation roads, and Cao Cao's army was blocked and unable to advance. Cao Cao worriedly asked Tian Chou for countermeasures.
Tian Chou replied: "This road often accumulates water every summer and autumn. It is too shallow to carry cars and horses, and too deep to carry boats. It is a long-term problem that cannot be solved."
It turns out that Youbeiping County was located in Pinggang, and the road passed through Lulongsai and reached Liucheng.
It has been nearly two hundred years since Emperor Guangwu established his military power, and the roads have been damaged and no one has walked on them, but there are still remnants of the roads to follow.
Now the Wuhuan people thought that Wu End was the only way for our army to pass, and that the army could not advance and had to retreat, so they relaxed their guard.
If we silently return to the army, but cross the dangerous Baitan barrier from Lulongsaikou, and enter their undefended area, the road is short and easy to move, and we are unprepared, and we can capture Tadun without a fight."
Cao Cao said: "Very good!" So he led his army to retreat from Wujing, leaving a large wooden sign on the roadside by the water, which read: "It is hot in summer and the roads are impassable, and we will wait until autumn and winter before sending out troops to attack." Wuhuan.
When the people's scout cavalry saw this, they really thought that Cao Jun had left.
Cao Cao ordered Tian Chou to lead his troops as guides and dig mountains and fill valleys on Xu Wu Mountain.
After marching for more than five hundred miles, they passed through Baitan, Pinggang and the royal court of the Xianbei tribe, and headed east towards Liucheng.
When the distance was more than 200 miles, Wuhuan people knew about it.
Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Tadun, Liaoxi Shanyu Louban, Youbeiping Shanyu Nengchenda and others led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Cao's army.
In August, Cao Cao ascended Bailang Mountain and suddenly encountered Wuhuan's army.
Wuhuan's army was powerful. Cao's army's chariots, horses and heavy troops were at the rear, and there were very few soldiers wearing armor.
Everyone around Cao Cao was afraid. However, Zhang Liao, Cao Cao's general, tried his best to persuade Cao Cao to fight Wuhuan's army immediately and to work hard.
Cao Cao admired Zhang Liao's heroic fighting spirit very much, and saw from a high place that although the Wuhuan army was numerous, its formation was uneven.
So he gave his command flag to Zhang Liao for temporary use, and appointed General Zhang Liao as the vanguard. Taking advantage of the change in Wuhuan's army's formation, he launched a fierce attack. Wuhuan was suddenly attacked and the battle was in chaos.
Wuhuan Chan Yu Tadun himself was also beheaded by Zhang Liao on the battlefield. The Wuhuan soldiers died everywhere.
Cao Cao sent an army to pursue and surrendered the Hu. The Han population was over 200,000, and they won a great victory. Yuan Shang and others defected to Gongsun Kang in Pingzhou (now north of Liaoyang, Liaoning).
Both Xianbei and Wuhuan belong to the remaining tribes of Donghu, and they even arose earlier than the Xiongnu.
As early as the early Shang Dynasty, the Donghu were active in the north of the Shang Dynasty. "Yi Zhou Shu·Wang Hui Chapter" mentioned that "Donghu Huangzhu Mountain Rong Rong Shu".
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Donghu lived in the northern part of the Yan State and had frequent contacts with the Yan and Zhao States in the Central Plains.
Donghu once defeated Yan State, and the northeastern part of Yan State from Shanggu (area in Huailai County, Hebei) to Liaodong was often invaded by Donghu.
Donghu and Zhao also had frequent wars. During the Warring States Period, Donghu lived in the north of Yan and Zhao. During this period, Donghu was the most powerful. It was known as the "two hundred thousand people who control strings" and had many times went south to invade the Central Plains. Yan was once defeated.
After passing Donghu, Donghu retreated more than a thousand miles.
The Yan State built the Great Wall from Huailai, Hebei Province, to Liaoyang, Liaoning Province, to defend against Donghu. It also set up five counties, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, to defend against Donghu's southward march. General Li Mu of Zhao State
While defeating the Xiongnu, he also defeated Donghu again.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Donghu gradually declined. When the Xiongnu first rose, they were also blackmailed by Donghu.
When Maodun Chanyu of the Huns first came to the throne, Donghu relied on force and asked for BMWs and beautiful women from the Xiongnu. Maodun Chanyu used the method of paralyzing the enemy to satisfy Donghu's requests one by one.
Maodun Shanyu took advantage of King Donghu's underestimation of the enemy and launched an attack on Donghu, defeating Donghu. From then on, the Donghu tribal alliance collapsed, and the various tribes of Donghu became racial slaves of the Xiongnu.
Of course, the various ethnic groups of the Donghu did not die out. For example, the Wuhuan people who later retreated to the Wuhuan Mountains and the Xianbei people who retreated to the Xianbei Mountains were the main tribal groups of the Donghu. Under the leadership of Tan Shihuai, the descendants of the Donghu conquered the Xiongnu.
Occupying all the hometowns can be regarded as the reincarnation of heaven.
Later, the Donghu clan included many tribes and ethnic groups: Donghu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and the Murong, Yuwen, Duanbu, Tuoba, Qifu, Tufa, and Tuyuhun tribes that were differentiated from the Xianbei, in addition to the Rouran, Ku
Mo Xi, Khitan, Shi Wei, Mongolia,
It can be said that it is endlessly destroyed, endlessly regenerated, like weeds that grow again in the spring breeze. Considering the current situation in the world, it is still necessary for Jiangdong to entrust it to the virtual snake...
