If Yuan Xi didn't give the Karasuma people grain and grass, he was only afraid that the last grain and grass that would maintain the two sides would break, and this winter, they would definitely have a fight.

Once this battle starts, it will be very easy, and the winner will be distinguished, the Karasuma people and horses are strong and strong, although they can't beat Liu Zheng, but it is more than enough to beat Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi himself only has thirty or forty thousand people in Youzhou, and once he really fights with the Karasuma people, it is almost impossible to be the opponent of the Karasuma people.

"Haha, this guy Yuan Xi is indeed in a difficult situation, so it's okay, once they fight and divide the winner, it will save us a lot of effort."

Liu Zheng heard Tai Shici's description, and he had a relatively clear understanding of the situation in the north.

Liu Zheng didn't have a good impression of Yuan Xi and Karasuma people, after all, the Karasuma people who had some business dealings with Liu Zheng before were basically cold.

Even if it wasn't cold, it was mostly destroyed by Qiu Liju and others.

Liu Zheng has no good impression of all the ethnic groups in the north now, and it can't be said that he has no good feelings, and he even has a little dislike.

After all, these people are not an agrarian civilization, and their nomadic civilization is aggressive.

Whether it was the Wuhu Rebellion in later generations or the Mongol invasion, as well as the entry of the Qin soldiers, they were all lifelong enemies of the land of China.

That is, Liu Zheng has not yet finished his own three-acre land, waiting for Liu Zheng to free his hand.

He was determined to sweep away the nomads of the north.

Cultivate a group of their own cavalry, and go to the north every year to sweep around, so that many tribes on these steppes can only be reduced to inferior peoples.

"Come, have a drink, celebrate your return from the north, and celebrate that Yuan Xi that guy is in trouble."

Liu Zheng picked up the wine bottle, raised it, and then took the initiative to drink the Sanliangye in the wine bottle.

Xu Huang, Tai Shici and others, who were sitting on the left and right in the courtyard, did not dare to slack off, and immediately picked up the wine bottle, followed behind Liu Zheng, and drank a glass of refreshment.

"By the way, Your Majesty, although the Karasuma people have a dispute with Yuan Xi, they shouldn't be able to fight."

"Huh? Why is that? ”

"That's because, we learned from Yuan Shang's adviser that Yuan Xi was in contact with the people of the Xianbei tribe."

"Xianbei?"

When Liu Zheng heard this name, he couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.

In fact, Liu Zheng is not unfamiliar with the name Xianbei, although the Xianbei clan has long been wiped out in the long river of history in later generations, like Karasuma, but during the Three Kingdoms period, this northern nomadic people had a great reputation.

The Xianbei people are a nomadic people who rose on the Mongolian Plateau after the Xiongnu and arose in the Great Khing'an Mountains. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was the nomadic people who had the greatest influence on the land of China.

They originated from the Donghu ethnic group and are distributed in the northern part of the Chinese land. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan Yu and was divided into two parts. Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain were surrendered respectively, and the name of the mountain was used as the clan name, forming the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, which were enslaved by the Xiongnu.

Therefore, the customs and habits of the Xianbei people are similar to those of Wuhuan and Xiongnu.

In 45 AD, Xianbei followed the Xiongnu to invade the border, and Xianbei was known to the Central Plains Dynasty as a national entity.

After the division of the Xiongnu, the Xianbei gradually got rid of their control. In 85 and 87, Xianbei attacked the Xiongnu twice and resisted oppression. In 91, the Northern Xiongnu, who had been attacked by the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu, were forced to move to Central Asia, and the Xianbei took the opportunity to occupy the Mongolian steppe.

However, the Xianbei tribe, like the Karasuma tribe, are inhabited by various tribes and are relatively scattered.

Forty years ago, the Xianbei tribe had a male lord named Tanshi Huai.

This man was brave and sturdy, and he was even more ambitious when he was elected as the leader of the tribe. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tanshihuai established a royal court in Danhan Mountain, plundered the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the south, resisted Ding Ling to the north, repelled Fuyu to the east, and attacked Wusun to the west, completely occupying the homeland of the Xiongnu.

It even once attacked the Wa Kingdom, reaching more than 14,000 miles from east to west and more than 7,000 miles from north to south. In the second year of Yongshou, that is, more than 30 years ago, he led an army to attack Yunzhong County.

Later, he repeatedly attacked the nine counties on the border and harassed the vassal states of Liaodong. At that time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was very worried and wanted to be crowned king and asked for peace.

However, Tanshi Huai insisted on not accepting it, and stepped up the invasion, established three departments, and put each adult under the leadership.

During the period of Emperor Ling, during the period from 168 to 178, the border counties of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou were attacked by Xianbei every year, and countless were killed and looted.

In 177 years, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in order to prevent future troubles, once formed a team of soldiers and horses, he sent the then Karasuma captain Xia Yu from Gaoliu, Po Xianbei Zhonglang General Tian Yan from the clouds, Xiongnu Zhonglang General Zang Min led the Southern Xiongnu men and horses from Yanmen, each led more than 10,000 cavalry, three ways out of the fortress, intending to advance more than 2,000 miles.

As a result, Tan Shihuai ordered the leaders of the eastern, central, and western divisions to lead their subordinates to meet the battle. Xia Yu and others suffered a crushing defeat, and even lost all the charms and baggage, and each led dozens of cavalry to flee for their lives, and the Han soldiers were killed in as many as seven or eight tenths, and only one-tenth of the Han soldiers returned to the Han Dynasty.

In the later period of the Han Dynasty, the real enemy was only the Xianbei clan.

The Xiongnu, Karasuma, Qiang, Nanban and others, in front of the Xianbei clan, are all pediatrics.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that Tanshi Huai suffered from jealousy and died young.

Not long after the battle with Emperor Ling of Han, he fell ill and died.

Perhaps this is also the heavens' favor for Emperor Han Ling.

If it weren't for the death of Tanshi Huai, with the male lord of Tanshi Huai, he would inevitably raise troops to invade the Han after controlling all the power of the Xianbei clan in the north.

Maybe the Han Dynasty will not die in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but in the Xianbei invasion.

After Tanshi Huai fell ill and died, the entire Xianbei clan became a mess, and once again fell apart from the situation of joint gathering of troops, and evolved into several small tribes.

The huge threat that formed around the Han Dynasty also collapsed in an instant.

The power of the Xianbei clan was also split in this way, forming several large and small tribes scattered together.

Like the later Karasuma clan, everyone did their own thing, competing for the position of Shan Yu.

Although Tan Shi Huai left a son to take over his own business.

My son doesn't have the same eloquence as he does.

There is no way to control the Xianbei clan, the leader of many tribes.

The career that was handed over to him, he could only watch it fall apart, and it just declined.

Although he wanted to emulate his father, he was not good enough.

It also doesn't help.

If Tanshi Huai is compared to Qin Shi Huang in the land of China, then his son is Hu Hai, who died in the second generation.
