Chapter 311: Where to go
Not long after Kebi was beaten into Hanhai, the weather suddenly turned cold, and while the snow had not yet fallen, Tai Shici sent troops to return to the blockage. On the way back to the Sene, the envoy sent by Budugen to the Senet also arrived.
The envoy sent to Han by Budugen is very interesting, maybe it is not that the envoy is interesting, it should be that the envoy behind Budugen is interesting. The leader of the Xianbei tribe, who is currently the most powerful in the Saiwai grassland, seems to be unsurprised by the Yan clan's crusade against Xianbei, and sent an envoy to explain to Yanbei the current situation in the Saiwai grassland in the Zhao Palace, and even how many warriors he has under him can clearly state.
More than 54,000, some are whole and some are whole.
The envoy seemed to be a Xianbei man who was proficient in Sinology, and he said a lot of things that Yanbei couldn't understand because of the classics, and he also deliberately stated that the Xianbei Western Tribes had not plundered the Han Lands like the Eastern Ones, and only finally said Budugen's requirements.
"My lord in the western tribe has no other meaning, after this battle, I deeply feel that the three lords of Xianbei have not managed my great Xianbei effectively, which has led to a border provocation. Therefore, in this eventful autumn, I asked the king of Zhao to canonize my tribe as the king of Xianbei, and the fellow practitioners worked together to defend against foreign enemies, and then paid tribute every year to the country of his subordinates. ”
It's not the right way.
Yanbei was confused by the envoys, and thought that Budugen would send people to negotiate peace or truce or something like that, but he didn't expect that Budugen sent envoys to come all the way to ask for a seal. And...... Or let him be canonized.
Did one king canonize another?
It is true that the Xianbei tribe has never plundered the Han land like Micah or Kebineng year after year, but this is not because he doesn't want to, but for another reason. The reason why the Central Plains is called the Central Plains is because it is the center of the world, and for the Western Regions, the Central Plains is the Central Plains, and the Saibei is also the Central Plains. Nowadays, many countries in the Western Regions pay tribute to the east every year, both to the Central Plains and to the north, and the north of the country is ...... Naturally, it is a tribute to Xianbei.
Yan Bei didn't believe that those tribute Budu roots could still be handed over to Kebineng.
Xianbei Western Fall is adjacent to Liangzhou of the Han family, not to mention the Wuwei desert in the middle, everyone knows what the chaos in Liangzhou has become a few years ago, and the court of the Han family has issued a voice of giving up Liangzhou in the temple in the past. That's a real hard nail, it's not as easy to bully as the merger of the three states, not to mention that Budu doesn't plunder, let him try to plunder? The tribal adults in Liangzhou are so poor that they are almost pants, and the Xianbei people will plunder again?
It would be good if the Qiang people, who had fought with themselves for hundreds of years, did not form a group to cross the curtain and grab the Xianbei people!
Now Bu Dugen is asking for credit for not robbing Liangzhou, which really makes Yanbei want to laugh, not to mention such a thing as canonizing the throne, how can Yanbei canonize others...... has nothing to do with legal principles, if you really canonize him, how will you beat him in the future?
"Before April next year, if your tribesmen come to the imperial court, you can discuss this matter according to their attitude." Yan Bei waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say much at this time, you can rest and go on the road." ”
At least dare to come and see me, then you can be considered a loyal minister, and it is not impossible to canonize a Xixian Bei Guiyi King.
If you don't dare to come, you will continue to fight in April, and you will directly drive them all the way to the west of the Western Regions to play with Guishuang! The right is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, Guishuang and Song Jian didn't fight, but they may not be able to fight with the Xianbei people...... If Yanbei is not mistaken, it seems that Guishan also has tens of thousands of weak soldiers in the ancient books, and it is undoubtedly a great thing for Zhao Guo to let them fight against each other.
It doesn't matter who fights with whom, as long as it's not on the land of the Han family, it's all a good thing.
As for the union of the two of them, it is not that Yanbei has no concerns, it is really impossible. Guishuang is so big in total, tens of thousands of warriors and hundreds of thousands of people in Xixian have moved west, and no one in the world except the Central Plains Dynasty dares to let such a tiger sleep soundly on the side of the couch, let alone Guishuang, even if it is a short time to negotiate and form an alliance, sooner or later it will have to fight.
This was originally Yanbei's plan for the Xianbei people, who knows what was going on, Kebi was able to run away and go to the north by himself.
However, for Saibei, Yanbei is no longer worried. After the expulsion of Xianbei, there were no more tribes outside the Saiwai that could threaten the Han family, and the next thing would depend on the princes in the south.
Jingzhou's forces have fallen apart, and the only one who is worried is Cao Sun Liu.
But they all rely on strong support. Now Liu Bei relies on the terrain of Yizhou, Cao Cao relies on the geographical advantages of Wuling, and they have become difficult bones to gnaw, and it is difficult for soldiers and horses to win in a short period of time, and the most likely result is the Sun family in Jiangdong within this year.
The southeast is almost unaffected by the cold winter, and the biggest reliance on the Sun family is only the Yangtze River, which is now all crossed by Xu Huang, and the war enters Yangzhou to start a war, and Yanbei has nothing to worry about.
What Yanbei is doing now is to prepare baggage for them, supervise the escort, and send it out through the various news collected by the temples all over the world to select the part that should be known to the generals who are leading the army.
In fact, it was only at this time that Yanbei could feel the reason why the Han Dynasty set the capital in Luoyang in the past. Everything else is empty talk, and in Yanbei's view, the most convenient aspect of Luoyang is time. Because the Guanzhong Road extends in all directions, the distance from all parts of the world is about the same, and the roads are the closest...... Handan, on the other hand, is different.
Handan is located in the east-central part of the country, and although it is not far from Luoyang, it is indeed far from other places. In addition to the close distance between Qing, You, and Yan, if you want to go to Bingzhou, you have to cross the Taihang Mountain, and if you want to go to Sizhou, you have to cross the Yellow River and go westward, not to mention the Liang, Yi, Henan, Jing and other prefectures in the distance.
In Luoyang, it is guaranteed that no matter where something happens in the world, the rider will be able to deliver the letter to Guanzhong within ten years, while in Handan, this time is two to three times larger, at least now the letter evolution in Jiaozhou is still receiving the news three months ago.
That's right, Yanbei had just received a letter from Shi Xie in late July, in which he mentioned that he knew that Yan was fighting Liu Bei from north to south in Yizhou, and that he would lead 5,000 Jiaozhou soldiers from the west of Jiaozhou to the south of Yizhou and launch an attack on Chengdu.
Yanbei thinks that Shixie is still very good.
However, he did not put the news of Shixie's attack on Yizhou and Cao Cao's southward expansion in one place, otherwise he would have found that he had missed a very important link in the southern military strategy.
If it doesn't exist, Nanjun is occupied by the Yan clan, and the western part of Yangzhou is now full of Xu Huang's soldiers and horses fighting with Sun Ce, so where else can Cao Cao go?
