Chapter 81: Heavenly King Yuwen Zhao
Forty years ago, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was swept away by Ye Sheng in one fell swoop, but the Xianbei people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were not exterminated, and some of them still remained in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty and became Jin people.
The other part was brought north of Jimen Pass by the Yuwen clan at that time, returned to their ancestral land, and became nomadic again.
This is the origin of today's Yuwen Tribes.
Of course, at the beginning, the Yuwen tribes were far more than four tribes, and at that time, as long as there was a little force in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they would become a small tribe after fleeing north, but these small forces were gradually integrated and annexed in the following decades, and now only these four big tribes remain.
The current four Yuwen departments are the Yuwen Qigui Department, the Yuwen Helan Department, the Yuwen Futu Department and the Yuwen Vertical Department.
The first three tribes are just ordinary Yuwen clans, and they are far from the bloodline of the Northern Zhou royal family back then, only because when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was shattered, Yuwen Qigui, Yuwen He and Yuwen Futu were all generals who led the troops, so they were able to lead a group of people everywhere and set up their own tribes on the grassland.
The last Yuwentui Department is the son of the last emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwenjing, that is, the prince forty years ago.
Forty years ago, Yuwen was only in his twenties, but because he liked martial arts, he joined the army as a prince, and after the change of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the only remaining prince in the Northern Zhou royal family, with a large number of Yuwen clansmen, fled north to his homeland and re-established the Yuwen tribe.
This Northern Zhou Emperor Yu Wentui also once called the emperor in the north and inherited the Northern Zhou Emperor Zuo, but it was just for his own amusement, and he didn't even recognize the other three tribes, let alone the Great Jin Dynasty that had unified the Central Plains.
Moreover, during the Chengde Dynasty, the Yuwen tribes had a difficult survival and had to be declared a minister to the Great Jin, and Yuwentui also took off the title of emperor and no longer called the emperor.
Now, the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Zhao, has already died, and now the leader of the Yuwen Department is Yuwen Zhao, the eldest son of Yu Wen Zhao, and at the same time, the Yu Wen Department is also the largest one among the Yuwen Ministries, the leader Yu Wen Zhao is less than forty years old, and he is in his prime, and he is determined to turn the Yuwen Ministry into the Yuwen Department again.
This is a very difficult thing, after all, although the strength of the other three departments is not as strong as the Yuwen Division, but together they are better than the Yuwen Division, otherwise it is impossible to still be scattered after so many years.
But now, here's your chance!
Not long ago, the Yunzhou City Seed Army attacked the Yuwen Qigui Department for no reason, so that more than 3,000 of the Yuwen Qigui Division's elite died and the rest were seriously injured together with five or six thousand people!
Yuwen Qigui was the youngest of the four tribes, and after experiencing this incident, it can be said that his vitality was greatly damaged, and for this reason, Yuwen Zhao, who was the most powerful among the Yuwen tribes, sent letters to the other three families, agreeing to discuss how to deal with the aggressive Southern Jin Dynasty together.
This is not the first time.
In fact, forty years ago, when they had just fled to the north, they united in order to drive out the nomads from the north, and after gaining most of the steppe territory, they dispersed again.
On this day, more than half a month after the attack on the Yuwen Qigui Division, a big tent was erected in an open place deep in the grassland.
Near the big tent, four distinct groups of men and horses, guarding the four directions, it is obvious that this is a place for talks.
The person presiding over this meeting is naturally Yu Wenzhao, the leader of the Yuwen Vertical Department.
This is a man in his early forties, unlike the nomads who like to wear fur, the leader of the largest tribe of the steppe likes to wear silk, and although he has a big beard, he wears Han clothes, and he is beautifully dressed.
This is a habit that the Northern Zhou royal family has cultivated for a hundred years.
Before the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they had been in the middle of the country in Shenzhou for more than 100 years, passing on the throne of the Seven Emperors, in this hundred years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in the world for a long time, so that the families of the Central Plains were attached one after another, and there were Northern Zhou clans similar to the Zheng clan of Xingyang, the Li clan of Zhaojun.
At that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had basically been fully sinicized, and the Yuwen clan, as the upper echelon of the dynasty, lived a more particular life than the Jin people in the south.
Now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed for less than forty years, Yuwentui grew up in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and when he came to Yuwenzhao, the old habits were naturally difficult to change.
In fact, because they have been in the Central Plains for a long time, not only the Yuwen tribe, but also the other three Yuwen tribes, all speak sinicization, more than a hundred years ago their Xianbei language, has long disappeared in the dust, except for a few Xianbei nouns have been handed down, there are few people who can speak Xianbei words.
In this heavily guarded tent, Yu Wenzhao, dressed in purple robes, sat at four tables with three other tribal leaders, each with a roasted whole sheep and fresh goat's milk wine in front of them.
Only Yu Wenzhao's wine glass is a very popular toast in Dajin over the years.
Yu Wenzhao lifted the wine glass, and his face was calm: "Everyone, drink this cup full." ”
As he spoke, he drank it all.
The other three people glanced at each other, but none of them drank, and put down their wine glasses with a tacit understanding.
The reason is very simple, this meeting was mentioned by Yu Wenzhao, and the place was also chosen by him, and the three of them were afraid of death.
For decades, the Yuwen Department has not given up the idea of unifying the Yuwen Department, which is something that everyone in the grassland knows.
Yuwen Zhao didn't mind, and after drinking the wine in his own car, he said with a smile to Yuwen Jue, the patriarch of Yuwen Qigui Clan: "King Mueller, I heard that a few days ago, the seed army of Yunzhou City attacked your tribe, causing heavy casualties to your department. ”
Yu Wenjue, who was known as the "King of Muller" on the grassland, moved his eyelids, and said slowly: "Don't worry about the Heavenly King, that kind of Xuantong has been repelled by our department, so don't worry." ”
Yu Wenzhao smiled coldly.
"Don't you want to deceive people!"
"In the battle with the Seed Army that day, 2,771 people were killed and more than 3,400 people were injured in your begging department, all of them were the elite of your department.
As soon as these words came out, not only Mueller Wang Yuwenjue's face changed greatly, but the other two clan leaders also changed their faces.
This is an internal matter of the Qigui Ministry, they all only know that there was a war, and they don't know the number of casualties, but Yuwen Zhao is like a treasure, it is obvious that there is Yuwen Zhao's internal response in the Qigui Ministry, and this person is ......
The status is not low.
None of the three spoke.
Yu Wenzhao, who is known as the Heavenly King on the grassland, patted the table and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Southern Jin Dynasty occupied my homeland forty years ago and drove us to the northern Xinjiang, not to mention, it has become more and more bullying in the past few decades. ”
"A few years ago, they only bought our grassland furs at low prices and sold them, and occasionally robbed our cattle and sheep, which they could endure by gritting their teeth."
"But now, they are directly unreasonable and invade the beggar department!"
"Go back a few generations, everyone is from the Yuwen Department, and they are all in the same spirit, and now the brothers are being bullied by the southerners, how can we just endure it?"
This Yuwen Heavenly King's voice was loud.
"If you endure it this time, next time it will not only be the Qigui Tribe, but your Futu Tribe, the Heran Tribe, or my royal family!"
