After the death of Tanshihuai, Xianbei immediately split.
Although Tan Zhe is a tribal leader and has hereditary control over the two Xianbei tribes of Heishui and Xihe, his situation is not very good. The reason is because of the rapid rise of the Southern Huns. The Southern Huns dominate Shuofang and occupy the most fertile pastoral land in Hetao. In addition, they are subject to
With the secret support of the Han Dynasty, the strength of the Southern Xiongnu surged, and they gradually expanded to the north of the Great Wall, and annexed many Xianbei tribes, regaining a lot of the Xiongnu territory occupied by Tanshihuai, and putting great pressure on the Xianbei people.
Relatively speaking, the eastern and central Xianbei regions are under less pressure.
Xianbei in the west of Tanzhe, because it was adjacent to Shuofang and occupied the Xitao area, had the greatest conflict with the Xiongnu.
"In the past ten years, Tanzhe has lost the pastoral land of Heishui Xianbei and was forced to retreat to the Xihe area to survive.
The Southern Xiongnu were indeed bound to win the Hexi area.
Since Huchuquan succeeded the Chanyu, he secretly allowed Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, to fight with Tan Zhe, and gained huge benefits. Therefore, Tan Zhe's current situation is not very good. Just now Hongdu said that Tan Zhe was under Tan Zhe
On the way back from Shanshan, we were ambushed. I guess it was Liu Bao. As for his purpose of going to Tanhanshan, he must have hoped to get help from the adults in central Xianbei. However, depending on the situation, the result may not be very ideal.
Ke Bineng, the lord of central Xianbei, is very ambitious and powerful. He has hundreds of thousands of people who can control strings under his command... Nowadays, Ke Bineng and Yan Liyou, the lord of eastern Xianbei, are competing for the pastureland. Even if he wants to, he cannot estimate Tan Zhe.
It was precisely because of this that the Southern Huns dared to ambush Tan Zhe.
Youxue, the current situation in the fortress is changing, and it is the most chaotic time. The reason why I said now is the best time for you to obtain the land west of Hexi comes from this. If the situation in the fortress is stabilized, I am afraid it will be me
When the frontier is suffering, Youxue can use the relationship with Hongdu to get in touch with Tanzhe. If Tanzhe is smart, he will definitely bow to you... When the time comes, you can support Tanzhe to go north from Shizuishan and participate in the battle for Mobei.
, making this pool of water even more muddy.
Then, when you, Tan Zhe, marched north, you wiped out the Hexi Qiang and Di...
In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once established farming in Hexi, and the foundation is still there. Youxue, you can continue to implement the farming method here, recruit the people, and unite with Tanzhe, then Hexi can be settled."
The so-called strategist does not necessarily have to have any fantastic ideas.
The greatest role of a strategist is to fill in the gaps, think about what others have not thought of, and see further.
Pang Tong's words seemed to open a new door for Cao Peng.
He once determined to make eternal achievements, but he never had a foundation; now, Haixi's financial resources are about to be lost, and he must obtain greater financial resources to support his future development. Want to develop? There are only three points: land, population
There is also property. Among them, land is undoubtedly the most important. With land, you can gain population, and with population, you can create wealth. The Central Plains... is too small! Haixi, even less important. And the land of Hexi...
"But I'm worried about raising tigers."
"oh?"
"If Tan Zhe rises, he will become the second Xianbei sooner or later."
"Then don't let him rise... Moreover, I believe that Ke Bineng will not sit back and watch his rise. What we need is Tan Zhe to muddy the water. As long as he maintains a certain strength and allows him to gain a foothold in Mobei, it will be enough.
success."
"But how can my lord let me sit on the west side of the river?"
Pang Tongtong smiled, "Did Youxue forget, Xiliang Ma Teng?"
When Cao Peng heard this, he suddenly understood.
Yes, Xiliang Ma Teng is also a thorn in Cao Cao's side.
Although Ma Teng seems docile now, he has always been a thorn in Cao Cao's heart.
The edict on his clothes made Cao Cao choke. If Ma Teng is not removed, the northwest will be unstable, and Cao Cao will not have peace of mind.
"Then what should I do?"
"Youxue, your first priority is to try to get in touch with Tan Zhe, and now Hongdu is the best person to recommend.
At the same time, you need to have a foothold... In my opinion, Lian County is very good. As long as you occupy Lian County, you can be invincible. To enter, you can go north through Shizuishan, and to retreat, you can cross the river and defend it. As for this
As a candidate... I can recommend one person. This person is talented in the world and is very good at managing the local area. He also has a very good reputation."
A talented person with vast experience in the world?
who!
Cao Peng looked at Pang Tong in astonishment and thought to himself: Are you trying to recommend Zhuge Kongming to me?
"Meng Jian!"
"he?"
"This person is qualified to take on this important task."
Of course Cao Peng knew who Meng Jian Pang Tong was talking about.
This person is Meng Gongwei, one of the four friends of Shuijing Villa. Although he has not taken refuge with anyone, he is in Jingzhou.
Previously, when Xu Shu and Pang Tong Shi Tao came from Jingzhou, Meng Gongwei did not follow him.
Cao Peng said softly: "Can he come?"
"As long as Youxue tells him that if he wants to bring peace to Hexi, this person will definitely come."
It seems that this Meng Gongwei is also a man who hopes to open up borders and expand his territory. Historically, both this man and Shi Tao were governors of one side, and the area they controlled was in the northwest. Now that Shi Tao has been appointed as the Lintao Order, then Meng
It is also time to go out to build a mountain.
Cao Peng thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave it to Shi Yuan."
"I'll write to him right now."
After Cao Peng walked out of the small tent, he walked all the way to the military tent.
As he walked, he considered the possibility that Pang Tong said... I have to say that Pang Tong was right. After losing Haixi, if Cao Peng wanted to develop new ways of making money, then Hexi was undoubtedly the best place.
The land here is vast and the population is sparse. It is also subject to wars by barbarians all year round, so the Han Dynasty does not have very strong control over this place.
The most important thing is that if we can occupy Hexi, we can also solve the problem of Ma Teng in Xiliang.
Cao Peng can't remember clearly whether Cao Cao occupied Hexi in history. But one thing is certain, Ma Chao of Xiliang once brought a huge threat to Guanzhong. In other words, Cao Cao almost lost Hexi before Chibi.
Control. If I get Hexi... Well, actually, it's a good choice. This is a Feng Shui treasure.
Unknowingly, Cao Peng had arrived at the entrance of the military tent.
He calmed down, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and stepped into the tent.
"Master Cao!"
At this time, Hongdu had regained some energy. When he saw Cao Peng coming in, he hurriedly got up and wanted to get down to the ground.
Cao Peng hurriedly stepped forward and signaled Hong Du not to be too polite. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Cao Peng looked thoughtful.
"Sir, I have something to worry about."
"I heard that Hexi once had a population of hundreds of thousands, but why is it so desolate now?"
Hongdu said: "Over the years, Hu troubles have continued. Many Han people in Hexi have fled back to the Central Plains or lived in the north of the Great Wall... Some were kidnapped by the Hu people, and some, like me, stayed under the Hu people's tents.
.There are also some people who gathered together to form a town and established themselves as kings. It is so chaotic that the emperor has no time to care about us ordinary people. He can only try his best to survive."
"What do you think if I can regain control of Hexi?"
"ah?"
Hongdu was startled and looked at Cao Peng. After a while, he suddenly struggled to get up and said, "If you can regain control of Hexi, it will be a blessing for our Han family."
“I have some ideas, but I don’t know much about this place.
Hongdu, you are also an old man here, can you give me some advice?"
"Young master, if you want to give me advice, Hongdu wouldn't dare. Hongdu has only been under Tanzhe for a few years, and his understanding is not very clear. If it's just Tanzhe, I can still give some help; but if it involves the entire Hexi
And Saibei...
Young Master, I do know someone who can help you."
"oh?"
"This man's name is Shi Gong. He lives in the southwest, in a place called Caoji. There are thousands of Han family members there, most of whom were people who originally lived in Hexi. Shi Gong has lived in Hexi for about twenty or thirty years.
He is quite prestigious, and even Tan Zhe would not dare to cause trouble to Shi Gong easily. The most important thing is that he is most familiar with the situation in Saibei, and he has a unique skill in raising horses. If the master wants to control the Hexi area,
This Shi Gong is a key figure."
Shi Gong?
Is it an honorific or a given name?
Cao Peng was certain that he had never heard of such a person.
But since Hongdu said so, there must be something extraordinary about this Shi Gong.
After secretly writing down the name Shi Gong, Cao Peng raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Hongdu, how about you tell me about Tan Zhe first?"

Late at night!
The banquet is over.
In order to show his respect for the Han family, he set up camp next to the inner camp and acted as a protective envoy.
The night on the grassland is particularly cold.
Tonight, there is no trace of the bright moon and no stars.
A thin figure limped out of the main camp of Qubei and arrived at the inner camp without anyone noticing.
"Please inform the Marquis of Linyi that I am an old friend and want to see you."
The visitor whispered to the imperial guards outside the gate of the inner camp.
After a while, news came from the camp that the Marquis of Linyi had asked him to go.
The visitor was dressed in Huns' clothing and followed the imperial army to the large tent of the central army in the inner camp. When he walked into the tent, he saw Liu Guangzheng sitting next to the case, holding a book in his hand.
The visitor bowed respectfully to Liu Guang and said, "Fuchun Fujun, pay your respects to the Marquis of Linyi!"
When Liu Guang heard this, he couldn't help being startled. He used the light of the candle in the tent to identify it carefully... He saw that the person was of medium height, dressed in Huns' clothes, with braided hair. He had a long beard under his chin, and his face was dark, revealing the wind of sleeping in the open air.
state.
"Are you Fu Jun?"
Liu Guang opened his eyes wide, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "You are really Fu Jun!"
The outline of that face was vaguely identifiable, and it was none other than Fu Jun. However, Fu Jun now looked less frivolous than before and more calm. To be honest, if he hadn't announced his family status, Liu Guang would have been
Can't recognize it.
I think back then, when Fu Jun caused trouble in Xudu, it was Liu Guang who sent him out of Xudu.
In a flash, it has been more than three years!
From then on, Liu Guang never heard about Fu Jun again, and even gradually forgot about Fu Jun.
But he didn't expect that during his mission to Saibei this time, he would meet Fu Jun again.
Liu Guang stood up, took two steps, and grabbed Fu Jun's arm.
"Fujun, where have you been all these years?
Do you know how much the emperor's sister-in-law cares about you, and how worried the emperor is about you? You, you, you, why did you become like this after you arrived in the Xiongnu?"
When Fu Jun heard this, his eyes turned red and tears suddenly welled up.
"Fei Fujun refuses to contact his parents. It's really... hard to describe.
Marquis of Linyi, I risk my life to come here tonight because I have something to tell you. I am afraid that Huchuquan may not form an alliance with you."
Liu Guangji shivered, stared at Fu Jun, and after a long time asked softly: "Fu Jun, how do you say this?"
Fu Jun took a deep breath and talked to Liu Guang...

There was another power outage in the afternoon, so the first update will be posted first, and the second update will be posted before nine o'clock.
I've been very emotionally unstable lately, and my state has been up and down, so... in short, I'm very sorry.
