The next few caravans all confirmed what Li Xian said. All the fragmentary information is gathered together, that is, the Yanmen Han army is already ready and heavily guarded. There is also Lord Xianbei who didn't believe the words of the Han caravan, but was pushed back: "Those merchants, as long as you give enough money, he will be eager to pull a knife and die for you, how can there be lies?" "Everyone thought about it, too, in the past, the Han people did not trade with Xianbei, and things were not all smuggled by the Han people. These people are mercenary, and how can they ever put the court and officials of the Han people in their eyes.

Yanmen did have a big move, but the movement of soldiers and horses back and forth was just to hide people's eyes. Liu Bei's main purpose was to tell the Xianbei people that Yanmen had made sufficient preparations. If you want to enter the Koukou from Yanmen, be prepared for a river of blood. Sure enough, after some discussion, the Xianbei people decided to give up the line of Yanmen. As a result, the cavalry of the Xianbei people gradually began to appear on the grasslands in Yunzhong, Wuyuan and other places.

And Liu Bei's estimate is right, Xianbei people want to go south and don't go to Yanmen, so in addition to going to Youzhou, there are only Yunzhong and Wuyuan here. Because there is no way to farm on the prairie, the Xianbei people also have to bring rations when they fight, and the soldiers ride on horses and drive cattle and sheep to come, such groups of cattle and sheep, often in the number of 100,000, if there is no good place to station, how can it work. The surrendered city north of Wuyuan and west of Yinshan was included in Budugen's field of vision. After all, Bu Dugen and Kebi can not deal with each other, the two have hurt each other for many years, and now although they have put aside their hatred and plan to deal with the Han people together, how can they not have mustard and vigilance in their hearts. Therefore, Budugen will not merge with Kebi to send troops under any circumstances. You can't go to Yanmen, but the side of Youzhou is where the Xianbei royal court used to be, and now it is Kebineng's lair, Budu is not stupid, how can you go there?

Lu Bu, who knew Budugen's actions, grinned. Sensen's white fangs glowed, like a beast that hadn't eaten meat for a long time, baring its fangs. The big river comes from Beidi County of Liangzhou, then bends upwards to Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong in Bingzhou, and then turns down to Xihe, Shangjun, and joins Weishui from Dongfeng Lingdu of the river, and then flows to the east. This flow direction, looking at the map, forms a big "several" character, in fact, this is the later history of the Hetao. The Yellow River is harmful, but only rich is one set. Here, it is as smooth as a mountain, with abundant water sources, abundant vegetation and abundant products. Can farm, can raise horses. Really good place. Ming's "Preface to the Minutes of Reading History and Public Opinion" once said: "The Hetao looks south of Guanzhong, the head of the control of the world, those who get the Hetao go to the world, those who lose the Hetao lose the world, the Hetao is safe, the world is safe, the Hetao is chaotic, the world is chaotic, the world is chaotic." "It is also true, in the pre-Qin period, this was the land of the Huns grazing horses, and later the first emperor sent the general Meng Tian to drive 100,000 soldiers to the Xiongnu outside the Saiwai and occupy the Hetao. For the first time, the two counties of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan were set up to defend the border. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the general Wei Qing attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and the minister's father Yan Shangshu suggested that a city be built in Hetao to build a city to tuntian and raise horses as a base for defense and attack on the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted this suggestion and placed Shuofang County and Wuyuan County that year. Later, it was placed in Xihe County. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu who belonged to the Han Dynasty were placed in Xihe. Later, it was often occupied by the Hu people. The Song Dynasty was the worst, because there was no Hetao, and it was made to death by the Western Xia and Liao people.

The Hu people of the past dynasties, every time they invaded the south, almost always chose Hetao here, because at a glance, it was a plain, which was very suitable for the actions of cavalry. All the way south, you can directly hit Xiaoguan, and if you are lucky, you can even enter Chang'an City. This time, Budugen plans to do the same.

So not only the surrendered city, but also the Gaoque Pass and the Jilu Plug in Shuofang, there were traces of the Hu people. After receiving this news, Lu Bu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the situation to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei saw it, he smiled, there are Zhang Xiu, Lu Yi, and Duan Xuan in Liangzhou, if you can still let the Hu people break through Beidi County and knock on Xiao Pass, then you will come to the ghost. So he sent a letter to Zhang Xiu, ordering him and Liyi and others to gather soldiers and horses to prepare for Hu, if the Hu people went south into Liangzhou, he didn't care how to fight him, but he must leave the Hu people, and the corpses should be used as fertilizer for the land of Liangzhou.

After giving the order, Liu Bei summoned Ma Chao, the border line was too long, he couldn't defend passively, and he had to let the Xianbei people come according to their own intentions. After Ma Chao came, Liu Bei said: "Meng Qi, would you like to go to the grassland?" ”

Ma Teng arrived in Qingzhou and was worshiped as Guangluxun, and he expressed his satisfaction with this position. One of the Nine Qings, with a noble status. Further up is the Three Princes. And his other sons were also worshipped as Langzhong. So Ma Teng, who was satisfied, admonished Ma Chao earnestly, so that he could serve the general and not be lazy. Ma Chao had long been jealous of Liu Bei's generals who had been promoted to the rank of marquis, and after listening to his father's admonitions, he was naturally as good as a stream.

Ma Chao, a super-first-class warrior in the late Han Dynasty, many people like him, and many people scold him. The people who scolded him were mainly because Ma Chao in history insisted on rebelling against Cao Cao despite his parents and brothers being on Cao Cao's side, resulting in hundreds of people in the clan being killed by Cao Cao. Therefore, I feel that Ma Chao is a jackal and a vicious person. Actually, this is too biased. Because Ma Chao never thought that Cao Cao would be so ruthless and would kill his entire family. In history, Cao Cao, in addition to the siege of cities often likes to slaughter cities, he is not cruel to his main enemies. The princes who were defeated or surrendered to him, such as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, etc., their families were well settled, and they were not completely killed by Cao Cao. is Liu Bei in history, he ran away by himself, and his family fell into the hands of Cao Cao, so he was not safe and sound?

Yuan Shao is dead, and his three sons have been fighting Cao Cao for several years, this feud is big enough, right? Cao Cao also killed Yuan Tan and the other three, but their families all survived. Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao fought, Cao ** had an eldest son, a general died, and he almost died, and later divorced his wife because of Cao Ang's affairs, which is not good for Zhang Xiu? Tao Qian and Cao Cao have a deep enmity, right? His family, Xiao Cao Cao, didn't move. Lu Bu and Chen Gong both died at the hands of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao treated his family well...... There are too many such examples. The only one who made Cao Cao go on a killing spree was Zhang Miao. This person who was regarded by Cao Cao as a sibling and could entrust each other's future affairs, his betrayal made Cao Cao feel very painful, so in a fit of anger, he slaughtered the city after breaking through the city, and then destroyed his family.

Ma Chao raised his troops, mainly because he was afraid that Cao Cao would come to annex his troops, but he was not worried about the safety of his father Ma Teng and others. Because Ma Teng was a guard of the imperial court at that time, he was also a high-ranking official of one of the nine Qings. In addition, it may be that in view of Cao Cao's past performance, Ma Chao feels that Cao Cao will not deal with his family. Therefore, this caused the tragedy of the Ma family. And Ma Chao was very depressed all his life and died young......
