After Cao Pi left Yecheng, he took his entourage lightly and traveled northward.
During this time, Zhao Yun led an army to attack Youzhou. The whole Youzhou was in chaos and the situation was turbulent. Therefore, Cao Pi did not rush on the road with great fanfare. Instead, he avoided the governors of various counties and the Shu army and headed north to Liaodong.
Liaodong is where the Wuhuan people live.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were three main foreign races in the north that were relatively powerful.
One is the Wuhuan people. Lord Wuhuan Tadun was extraordinary in martial arts. He reorganized the army and captured Liaodong, Liaoxi and Youbeiping. He was powerful and a famous figure in history.
The second is the Xianbei people. Xianbei was very powerful when Tanshihuai was under the rule, claiming to have 100,000 people who can control strings. After Tanshihuai died, Xianbei was divided into three separate groups. The first was entrenched in Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Yun
The second is the Kebineng tribe who is entrenched in Daijun and Shanggu counties in Youzhou; the third is the Suli tribe who is scattered in western Liaoning, Youbeiping and Yuyang. These three forces attack each other and want to unify.
The other party, however, failed to complete it.
The third is the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu are entrenched in Hetao and other places. The Xiongnu is in Huchuquan. There are also Liu Bao, the Xianwang on the left, and Qubei, the Xianwang on the right. The Xiongnu are stronger than Wuhuan and Xianbei. In addition, the Xiongnu
Far away from the Central Plains and in the northwest of Bingzhou, it is not as vulnerable to attack as Wuhuan and Xianbei.
After Cao Pi left Youzhou, he entered Liaodong directly and paid a visit to Lord Wuhuan Tadun.
In the king's tent, Tadun is wearing a fur coat and a felt hat. He is tall and tall, and has a powerful look. Below the king's tent, on the left is Lou Ban, the son of the former Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju, and on the right is Qiao Wang Su Yanpu.
Cao Pi stood in the tent, erect and calm, without any panic.
He just bowed his hands and bowed as a courtesy.
Su Yanpu saw this and shouted: "Why don't you kneel down when you see my king?"
Cao Pi said: "I am the son of the emperor of the great Wei Kingdom. How can I kneel down to the leader of a small country? It is ridiculous."
Cao Pi is young, but he is also a thoughtful person. He knows that if he takes the initiative to show weakness now and makes any demands in the future, he will definitely be asking for help, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative. Therefore, Cao Pi must be in a position from the beginning.
Take the commanding heights, grasp the rhythm, and seize the initiative. Even if there is a certain degree of danger, it is worth doing.
After Tadun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his rough face.
The little doll in front of me is not simple.
Lou Ban was dissatisfied and shouted: "Humph, when you come to Liaodong, who cares what your status is? Whether you are the son of the emperor of Wei or the emperor of Shu, you must abide by our rules. Come and let him
Kneel down."
As soon as he finished speaking, two powerful men came towards Cao Pi, ready to force Cao Pi to kneel down.
The entourage standing next to Cao Pi immediately became alert and had a strong tendency to take action.
Cao Pi looked as usual, without any panic.
Before he came to Liaodong, he had already thought about what problems he would encounter. He was mentally prepared and did not panic. Furthermore, if he did not kneel down, Tadun would not dare to really force him. After all, Liaodong and Youzhou bordered, and the Wei army could
Ready to attack at any time.
No matter how tough Lou Ban was, Cao Pi would never kneel down.
In the big tent, the atmosphere became tense and on the verge of breaking out.
"Okay, if you don't want to kneel, don't kneel."
Tadun waved his hand, and the two soldiers who came out immediately retreated. Cao Pi noticed a flash of dissatisfaction in Lou Ban's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant without showing any expression.
Tadun continued: "Master Cao, you are a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old kid, can you make the decision?"
This sentence is questioning whether Cao Pi can represent Cao Cao.
Cao Pi snorted and said, "Master Tadun, don't you know the story about Gan Luo becoming prime minister at the age of twelve? A twelve-year-old boy can serve as the prime minister of a country, why can't I make the decision?"
Tadun nodded and asked: "Okay, Mr. Cao, please explain your purpose of coming. What is your intention?"
Cao Pi said: "I'm here to give you a gift for Lord Tadun!"
Tadun asked: "Oh, I like giving gifts, but I don't know where the gifts are?"
Cao Pi added: "The gifts are of course ready, but Lord Tadun needs to get them himself. In fact, Lord Tadun cannot bear the troops alone, so I hope that Lord Tadun will find the Xiongnu Chanyu and King Xianbei together.
Come, wait until they are all here, then you can take the gift I sent you in one fell swoop."
Tadun's eyes flashed and he asked: "Mr. Cao, if you don't say secret words, just say it directly."
Seeing that Cao Pi didn't say anything, Tadun lost his patience.
Cao Pi said: "Wei and Shu are at war, and the two sides are in a stalemate. I would like to ask Lord Tadun to unite with Xianbei and the Huns to send troops together, go south to attack Bingzhou and Xiliang, and capture the northern territory of Shu."
Tadun showed a lack of interest and said: "Sending troops cannot be done casually."
Cao Pi said: "Master Tadun is not planning to send troops?"
His words were sharp and did not give Tadun any face.
Tadun still said: "It's not a good decision."
Cao Pi sighed and said: "In this case, I guess I misjudged the person. I didn't expect Lord Tadun to be a person who prefers to live in a corner. No matter what, I will visit the kings of Xianbei and invite them to go south. I think they will be willing to take it.
Those who went down to Bingzhou and Xiliang."
After finishing speaking, Cao Pi saluted Tadun, turned around and prepared to leave.
Tadun wanted to go to war in his heart, but he deliberately refused because he wanted to negotiate terms. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi refused to accept that trick and immediately prepared to leave, disrupting his robbery.
Tadun hurriedly said: "Master Cao, wait a minute, the matter of sending troops can be discussed. I will tell Mr. Cao that because the tribe lacks weapons and food, it is difficult to send troops. As long as Mr. Cao can provide food and weapons, the issue of sending troops
It's not big. You can even send people to find the Xianbei and Xiongnu people and let them send troops together.
Cao Pi looked at Tadun and said, "Master Tadun, do you know where the sharpest weapons are forged?"
Tadun shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Cao Pi immediately said: "Everyone knows that the weapons forged by the craftsmen of the King of Shu are as sharp as clay, and even the weapons of the Wei army are inferior. As long as Lord Tadun unites with Xianbei and the Xiongnu, go south together, and then invade Bingzhou and Liangzhou and other places.
, looting the treasury and seizing food and equipment, wouldn’t it be better?”
Tadun nodded and said: "That's the truth, but we need to discuss it carefully."
When Cao Pi saw that Tadun was willing to discuss, he immediately said: "The matter naturally needs to be discussed slowly. How about asking Mr. Tadun to find the Xiongnu Chanyu and King Xianbei and let us discuss it carefully?"
Tadun said: "Master Cao, you are really eloquent. Well, according to Master Cao's intention, I sent people to find Ke Bineng, Bu Dugen and Su Li from Xianbei, and then sent people to call the Xiongnu leader.
Chuquan is here to discuss countermeasures together."
Cao Pi said: "Master Tadun is wise!"
Tadun looked at Su Yanpu and ordered: "Su Yanpu, immediately send someone to deliver a message and find the leaders of all parties."
"promise!!"
Su Yanpu responded with clasped fists and turned around to carry out the order.
Next, Cao Pi stayed in Liaodong, waiting for Huchuquan, Kebineng and others to arrive, and then discussed the issue of sending troops. If he wanted to send troops to the tribe without spending a single soldier, or even provide food and equipment for these foreign tribes to send troops, he had to do something extra.
