Watching Tuoba Desert Khan go out with some sadness, Tuoba Li slightly pulled the fine and warm wool wrapped around his body and sighed slightly:

"Although my son is considered a great hero, he is a little too upright and doesn't know how to adapt."

In the past, Wei was strong and Han was weak, so it was right to help Han.

This was the reason why Ke Bineng once wanted to attack the Wei State from the north and the south with the Han State.

Ke Bineng can understand the truth, but his son has not yet seen through it.

Later, the Han and Wei Dynasties were equal, so the two sides did not help each other and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

Later, I asked him to go to the border fortresses of You and Bing to investigate the truth and do things cheaply, just to make him see more and think more.

Unexpectedly, after he returned to his clan, he tried his best to persuade him to be friendly to the Han Dynasty.

The Han was strong but the Wei was weak, and being close to the Han but sparing the Wei could be said to help the strong and destroy the weak.

I have watched the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years. When the Han Dynasty was strong, it was a day when the grassland had no peace.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Liwei sighed again:

"This matter is also my fault, because I once told him that in the past, the Xiongnu, Tadun's followers, were greedy for money and profit, and plundered the border people. Although they gained something, their casualties were not enough to make up for the loss, and they also attracted bandits and made the people miserable.

, it’s not a long-term plan.”

"It's hard for him to keep it in his heart. It's a pity that he only hears the superficial words, but doesn't think about the meaning."

The purpose of being friendly with Nan Xia is to protect the peace of the tribes on the grassland.

Instead of being on good terms with Nan Xia, he would rather make his tribe slaves.

If the purpose and means are reversed, the original intention will be lost!

The black-clothed deacon nodded:

"What Ke Han said is absolutely true. I once heard that before Feng Mingwen left Shu, there was a rumor that he 'ate barbarians' flesh and blood by day and tamed three thousand barbarian women at night'. The barbarians in the south were horrified when they heard this and called it "

The Ghost King shows how cruel his methods are."

(Note: Khan may have originally come from Xianbei, and was originally Kehan. Emperor Tuoba Tao of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent someone to carve a stele to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and to worship his ancestors. It clearly says "Kehan" instead of Kehan ​​as passed down by later generations.

sweat)

"When they arrived in Liangzhou, the Xianbei people in the west were either driven back to Mobei to face natural disasters, or were plundered and made into slaves. This is enough to prove that the rumors are not false."

"After arriving in Jiuyuan, Ke Bineng and his ilk thought they could form a close alliance with them. Who would have expected that in the end not only all the elite knights in the clan would be wiped out, but they themselves would also die in front of the battle. It's really ridiculous!"

"In the Han Dynasty, this person was the chief commander, who held the power and military talisman. From the emperor of the Han Dynasty on down, everyone would obey his orders. If we were lucky and had illusions, we would probably follow in the footsteps of Ke Bineng."

"Yes!" Tuoba Li nodded slightly in agreement, "If the Han State does not govern the country with notorious people like Feng Mingwen, then there is nothing wrong with me and the Han State being on good terms..."

Just thinking of all the shocking rumors about a certain guy named Feng, even though Tuoba Liwei was considered a great talent on the grassland, he felt like shrinking back.

Notoriety not only makes people shrink, it also makes people fearful.

The more Tuoba Liwei thought about it, the more he could not help but feel worried:

"Aligning with Wei and resisting Han is not the best strategy, but it can be regarded as the middle strategy. However, now that Han is powerful, Wei's powerful ministers are at odds with each other and are fighting each other."

"Wei can't fight the Han together. I'm afraid that Wei's Sima Yi alone can't stop Han's Feng Mingwen!"

The black-clothed deacon smiled and said:

"Why is Ke Han so down on himself? In the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was strong and Sun Liu was weak. Therefore, Sun Liu allied with one hundred thousand troops to defeat Cao's millions of troops, thus establishing the Three Kingdoms."

"Today Han is strong and Wei is weak, but Han has 150,000 people who can control strings, which is far more than Sun Quan's 100,000 weak people in the past. What more worries?"

Tuoba Li heard the words slightly, but the worry on his face never dissipated. He could only hear him saying to the black-clothed deacon:

"I heard that Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi because he didn't know how to operate a ship. Now that the Han cavalry is very prosperous, I'm afraid we can't make this analogy, right?"

The black-clothed deacon was a little helpless:

"Kehan, no matter how prosperous the Han cavalry is, won't Kehan's 150,000 string-controllers be powerful?"

"What's more, if Kehan ​​is compared to Sun Quan during the Battle of Chibi, then the Wei state is more than ten times stronger than Liu Bei at that time."

He paused and lowered his voice slightly:

"If Ke Han feels that 150,000 yuan is not enough to control the strings, then add another 50,000 yuan, how about 200,000 yuan?"

"Two hundred thousand?" Tuoba Li was slightly startled, "How can I get two hundred thousand warriors?"

The black-clothed deacon softly uttered four words: "No deer returns to the ministry."

Although his voice was soft, it sounded like thunder to Tuoba Li's ears. He was so shocked that he suddenly lifted up the wool on his body and stood up:

"no!"

Tuoba Li stared at the black-clothed deacon:

"Lord Wu Luhuibu is my maternal uncle. What I am today is all thanks to his past kindness. If I take advantage of his tribe's weakness and devour it, how will I face Ke Dun? How will I control the grassland in the future?

Are all the tribes convinced?"

(Ketun: Khan’s wife, also the daughter of Dou Bin.)

Under Tuoba Liwei's gaze, the black-clothed deacon's expression remained unchanged:

"Kehan, Wuluhui tribe is certainly our benefactor, but Khan must not forget that according to what the eldest prince said, he once met Dou Bin's second son Dou Suhou and Dou Huiti in Pingcheng."

"Even Dou Suhou and Dou Huiti deliberately made things difficult for the eldest prince."

The black-clothed deacon emphasized his tone:

"Kehan, Wuluhui tribe is in the southwest of Beichuan, not far from Pingcheng. If we don't make a plan early, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

When Tuoba Li heard the words, his expression changed, and then he showed a look of hesitation and embarrassment:

"This...but Lord Dou Bin..."

In the end, he shook his head and looked at the black-clothed deacon:

"Deacon, I swear that I will not be a person who betrays my kindness," he paused and continued, "I know that the deacon is doing it for my own good, and it is indeed worthwhile for Dou Suhou and Dou Huiti to go to Pingcheng.

Pay attention to."

"It's better than this. After returning to Beichuan, I will personally send someone to the Molu Hui tribe to ask Lord Dou Bin about his wishes."

Having said this, he said with some confidence, "And I believe that Mr. Dou Bin will never have the intention to return to the Han Dynasty!"

The reason is simple.

Lord Dou Bin was originally a Han Chinese and had a distinguished family background. His father was originally the governor of Yanmen. Because his family suffered a great disaster, he fled outside the Great Wall to seek refuge with the Huns.

The father and son have been the masters of the Moluhui tribe for nearly eighty years.

I heard that as early as fifty years ago, the Han emperor had rehabilitated Lord Dou Bin’s family.

If Master Dou Bin had the intention to return south, he would have had the opportunity to return to Han.

Even if he had concerns at that time, when Cao Cao moved the Huns inland, why did Dou Bin prefer to leave Yinshan and go north to join Xianbei rather than go to Han?

In his early years, Tuoba Liwei and Lord Dou Bin repeatedly conquered Xianbei in the west, knowing full well that Dou Bin would never defect to the Han Dynasty.

When the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty was on the throne, he had no intention of returning south. Now that he has come to a Han Dynasty who does not know whether he is real or fake, he is even less likely to go and seek refuge.

The deacon in black knew that Tuoba Liwei had a deep friendship with Dou Bin, and that Dou Bin, as Tuoba Liwei said, had a grudge against the Han Dynasty.

In fact, he even tried to drag Dou Bin into the century-old cause.

It's a pity that the stubborn old man, I don't know what he was thinking, actually refused sternly.

But that's not important.

"Kehan, Master Dou Bin is already old!" the black-clothed deacon reminded, "I am not saying that Master Dou Bin will return south and join the Han Dynasty."

"What I want to say is that his sons have been disrespectful to Kehan ​​for a long time. If they take charge of the Luhui Department in the future, it may be detrimental to Kehan."

"Even," the black-robed deacon solemnly warned Tuoba Liwei, "they may move south to the Han Kingdom and borrow the power of the Han people to deal with the Xianbei tribes on the grassland."

When Tuoba Li heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Because he knew that what the deacon said was not impossible.

Tuoba Liwei is nearly seventy years old, and his uncle Dou Bin is naturally older.

Even if you live a long life, how many years can you live?

If he and Master Dou Bin went to see the God of Heaven together, and if Suo's head and Wu Luhui's head were turned around, the dog's brains would be knocked out, it would not be impossible.

Is Tan Shi Huai powerful?

It could force the Han emperor to directly sue for peace.

In the end, wasn't it because the posthumous affairs were not properly handled that the Great Xianbei fell apart?

Thinking of this, Tuoba Liwei's face became increasingly ugly.

It’s just that he is a man of great perseverance, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"This matter will be discussed in the long term, and Master Dou Bin is still in good health, so we don't need to consider this issue for the time being. Our most important thing right now is to return to Changchuan as soon as possible and be prepared to resist the white disaster."

Living in Changchuan, far away from the frontiers, can certainly avoid falling into Han-Hu disputes and tribal wars.
