The ice and snow melted under Helan Mountain, and the grassland had only three colors: white snow, green grass, and withered yellow grass.

Just when the ice and snow melted, and the various departments of Western Xianbei were facing the muddy ground that was about to form, and the early spring meeting, which was related to the livelihood of the year, the competition within Western Xianbei was far less fierce than the outside world had speculated.

In the early years, when Tuoba Xianbei split up, he led the largest number of troops to move to Hexi as the eldest son, and almost collided with Wu Zhen.

Fortunately, he ran fast and fled to the Helan Mountain area where the Xiongnu Youxian King was stationed, which was also one of the core battlefields where the main forces of the Han and Huns fought for blood, and the geographical location can be imagined how critical it is.

During the chaos in the Central Plains, no one cared who occupied the Hetao or who occupied the Hexi Corridor...... Now it is different, and I am eager to find out the origin of the surrounding tribes and compile them into the military service list.

There are not many options in front of the bald Pi Gu now, and the war between Han and Wei will be like a storm, mobilizing all the forces that can be drawn and mobilized around.

Not to mention the Hexi Xianbei differentiated from Tuoba Xianbei, that is, the entire Western Xianbei, and at this moment, we must also worry about the fate of the future.

Worries came from all sides, and externally, both the Wei and Han armies abandoned the burdens that affected their combat effectiveness...... The Wei army did not want to cut off these burdens for the sake of stability, but the Han army was lightly armed, and the Wei army must make similar changes, otherwise it will definitely be completely defeated by the Han army like the wars of the past few years, and there will be no chance to rise.

For a person who witnessed the decline and demise of the Southern Xiongnu, and learned the knowledge of the fleeing Han people, although he can't understand the overall situation now, he can also know the approximately.

At present, the dispute between the Han and Wei dynasties is no longer a matter of legal unity, orthodoxy, and who will be the emperor, but a fundamental event in the future government structure.

The difference between this, the bald Pi Gu is also a little confused, but he also knows how good Liangzhou Sanming, who was bound by the Eastern Han Dynasty, was able to fight. The so-called Liangzhou Sanming is a general from three scholars who are familiar with military affairs and border conditions in Liangzhou area.

If the border army is replaced by such a warrior from a humble background as a general...... Those many things are a different situation, and they will definitely not get to where they are now.

And the current Beifu and Wei armies have this kind of momentum, and people who are professional, eager for meritorious service, and willing to work hard are generals...... In contrast, the leaders of Zhuhu are military democrats, and they are no strangers to war, and their overall quality must exceed that of too many Han and Wei county officials and celebrities, but they cannot be compared with professional Han and Wei generals.

What's more, the Han and Wei armies also had a stricter military system, strict subordinate relationships, sophisticated equipment, sufficient logistical supplies, and a steady stream of excellent soldiers.

Therefore, it is measured and calculated from various aspects of information...... It only makes sense for the Han and Wei to use the right people to command the army and defeat the Zhuhu coalition army.

Coming to this conclusion leads to another sad result...... It's good that the civil war in Western Xianbei continues to stalemate, but if a leader is really elected, then the Wei army and the Han army will definitely invest more forces to compete for control, dominance, and leadership qualifications in Western Xianbei.

In other words, now that there is a civil war, the respective camps can still call the shots; When more Wei and Han forces are put into it, the Xianbei tribes in the west will only become vassals, subordinates, and slaves; Then in the new round of Han and Wei battles, the young and strong will be consumed.

It's not malicious speculation about the Han and Wei dynasties, but that's how the living conditions outside the border plug are.

In a war, the weak must be consumed first, how can anyone consume their own first?

The environment is generally so bad, and there are many obvious unfavorable factors.

For example, the ultra-fast propagation of bilateral stirrups...... This weapon of militarism and civilization is just a concept.

If it weren't for the closed news, Kebineng, the leader of Xianbei in the central region, would not have been completely annihilated by the Wei army; But it was precisely because the news was blocked, and the Wei army carefully laid out that the first battle was successful.

Now that Western Xianbei has learned about the bilateral stirrup, he also knows the power of this kind of thing.

But even if you have bilateral stirrups, you can't compare with the Han army and the Wei army.

Because the Han and Wei dynasties already had strong armor reserves, even if the Wei army was defeated again and again, they still had armor reserves that were proud of the three major departments of Xianbei.

In the face of the armored cavalry armed with bilateral stirrups, the current Xianbei tribes are helpless.

As for the cavalry and archery advantage brought by bilateral stirrups, when there is a lack of strong bows and sharp arrows, as well as a lack of armor and combat confidence, this militaristic weapon that innovates cavalry tactics does not bring much benefit to the western Xianbei, and at present, it is also marching and hunting.

As for combat, the light cavalry relied on cavalry archery to consume the Han and Wei heavy infantry in vain...... Before the cavalry daggers can shoot a certain amount of arrows, they will surely be shot into hedgehogs by the calmly and calmly heavily armored crossbowmen.

The bilateral stirrups have no substantial combat effectiveness improvement for the current western Xianbei.

This requires a process of accumulation, and the Xianbei tribes that have not completed the accumulation are now poor.

Trapped in Baoshan, there is no room for utilization.

The Han and Wei dynasties sharpened their knives and could rush up at any time and swallow the entire western Xianbei...... In this case, the civil war in Xianbei in the west has too many variables.

People who are as talented as Tanshi Huai, in the past fifty years, there has been a Kebineng, as well as the famous Wuhuan kings Qiu Liju and Badun, all of which are dead, or they were defeated by the Wei army.

And the Han army was the Wei army that was defeated.

People with a little common sense know that it is very dangerous to stay in Hexi and Hetao now, just like rabbits competing for superiority in the pot, no matter who is the king of rabbits, all rabbits will not end well.

Wu Zhen had already expressed the attitude of Wei with his practical actions; After Wu Zhen was hacked to death, Sima Yi followed closely to annihilate Kebineng's main force, and shot one more ruthlessly than the other...... Even Putou, who is close to the Wei State, is probably worried about becoming the ghost of the next Han-Wei war.

So, what to do?

So, just as the ice and snow melted and the grassland under Helan Mountain sprouted new green, Putou and Tuoba Liwei each led many tribal leaders to the bald and lonely territory to discuss the general division of the western grassland this year.

This is a tradition derived from the Huns, who held three gatherings a year.

One is the spring rally, where the various ministries gather together to divide the pastures to avoid conflicts in the new year due to the unclear division of pastures.

The second is in June and July, when the grass grows and the kites fly, the cows, horses and lambs of all departments are fat and full, which is suitable for gathering together for various activities, whether it is horse racing, archery or wrestling, it is a rare and sought after collective activity of nomadic tribes.

The third is in September, when the grasslands are closed by heavy snowfall, and the various departments move to the mountains to shelter from the wind for the winter.

Festivals and gatherings, which are determined by the mode of production, have their own necessity and have been sacred over time.

As a result, the meeting that had a bearing on the long-term future of Xianbei in the western region took place so naturally.

The chiefs of the Xianbei tribes in the western part of the country with a pessimistic attitude are ready to give up the Hetao in the land of the fat and Xiongnu kings, and they are also ready to give up the fertile Hexi Corridor, which is almost a no-man's land.

Prepare to take the Hexi Corridor, turn to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and migrate to a distant place where the milk and honey of gold flow.

There's stirrups anyway...... Definitely not to suffer.
