Chapter 992 Bu Dugen

Jia Xu smiled at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, it's up to you to speak."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "When Tan Shihuai was there, Xianbei was unified by him and became extremely powerful. He even defeated my Han Dynasty's 30,000 cavalry. However, since Tan Shihuai's death, Xianbei has been divided into three again. The departments are respectively led by Ke Bineng, Bu Dugen and Su Li, the descendants of Tan Shihuai."

"Among them, Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen are quite talented and have strong military power, but Su Li has not inherited Tan Shihuai's talent and strategy at all. He just eats, drinks and has fun all day long, which is of no use."

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng were quite ambitious and secretly at odds with each other. They once attacked each other. Now that Ke Bineng has sent troops south, his nest must be empty. We only need to follow the strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao and send people to tell them." If Bu Dugen calls out, Bu Dugen will naturally send troops to attack Kebineng's lair, and there is no need for our army to send troops."

In fact, this group of grassland aliens usually fights fiercely among themselves, but occasionally, talented and strategic leaders like the military minister Chanyu, Maodun Chanyu, and Tan Shihuai appear out of the blue, unify the tribes, and then go south to pose a threat to the Han nation. . Historically, before the Song Dynasty, what the Han people were best at was actually fighting against and exploiting foreign ethnic groups, rather than forcefully conquering them. They could conquer the other party with other people's hands, so why waste their own efforts?

"Okay, you can quickly send an envoy to Bu Dugen. At the same time, you can promise Bu Dugen that if he is willing to send troops to attack Ke Bineng's lair, he can be canonized as a chanyu." Liu Ye promised, but now he can use political means To achieve this, he was unwilling to use military force, especially the Northern Expedition. Because it was difficult to obtain food and grass supplies during the Northern Expedition to the Huns and Xianbei, once the enemy troops hid, they would waste food and grass in vain, and it was easy to get lost, so it was "difficult to seal Li Guang".

Liu Ye immediately accepted the suggestions of Guo Jia and Jia Xu and sent an envoy who was well versed in grassland travel to the palace of Budugen.

"I met Master Bu Dugen in Xiawei."

"Haha, it turns out to be Mr. Wei, please sit down quickly." Bu Dugen showed a generous look and invited Wei Dong to sit down.

This Wei Xi was none other than Wei Xi, the hero of the Western Jin Dynasty who later arrested Deng Ai and killed Zhong Hui in Chengdu. Wei Xi was later sent to Liaodong to serve. He used strategies to provoke the two Xianbei tribes to fight against each other. He was an expert in handling ethnic conflicts. Master.

Bu Dugen smiled and said: "The general sent Mr. Wei here, but do you want to inform me of anything?"

"To be honest, Your Excellency, the General has always heard that Your Excellency has great talents and great strategies. He is an unparalleled hero among the Xianbei people, second only to Tan Shihuai back then." Wei Tong first praised Bu Dugen a lot, and he said it very well. Bu Dugen was overjoyed.

"Therefore, the general is going to report to the emperor to make you the Chanyu of Xianbei and unify Xianbei!" Wei Tong said word by word.

"What?"

When Bu Dugen heard this, he was immediately ecstatic! Since the death of Tan Shihuai, Xianbei has weakened for a time and split into three tribes. If anyone can be canonized by the Han Dynasty and become a Chanyu, it is tantamount to becoming the king of Xianbei!

"Is this really what the general said? Has Shan Yu brought the golden seal?" Bu Dugen said impatiently.

Wei Tong sneered in his heart, it seemed that Bu Dugen was nothing more than that, too impatient.

"My lord, don't be anxious. Before being canonized as a Chanyu, the general has one more request. I hope your lord can fulfill it."

"Oh? What does the general want?" Bu Dugen showed hesitation.

Wei Tong smiled: "It's very simple. Lord Kebineng should know."

"Of course I know." Bu Dugen frowned: "Is it possible that the general asked me to attack Kebineng in order to canonize me as a chanyu? This is a bit difficult, right? The Kebineng tribe is not behind me. If they send troops to attack Kebineng Nengbu, we don’t know the outcome yet, I’m afraid I won’t be able to be this Chanyu anymore.”

"hahahahahahahaha!"

Seeing Wei Tong suddenly burst into laughter, Bu Dugen couldn't help but frown: "Does the envoy think that I am too timid? Humph, I have hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people's lives behind me, how can I just make a joke about it?"

Wei Tong shook his head: "That's not it. Doesn't Master Bu Dugen know about it?"

"What do you know?" Bu Dugen frowned.

"Kebineng responded to the invitation of the Yuan brothers and sent a large army south to attack Bingzhou. Now the court of Kebineng is full of old and weak people. With only 20,000 cavalry, we can wipe them out in one go!" Wei Xi said proudly: "This is the defeat. Ke Bineng has a good opportunity, doesn’t Master Bu Dugen still dare to go?”

"Is this true?" Bu Dugen said excitedly. If it were true, there would be only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the Kebineng camp. Wouldn't it be easy to wipe them out in one fell swoop?

"Of course, Ke Bineng has led a large group of troops south. If you don't believe me, Lord Bu Dugen can go and check it yourself." Wei Tong said sternly: "It is easy for Sir to defeat the old, weak, sick and disabled under Ke Bineng. As long as you do it for The general has solved this trouble, and the position of Shanyu belongs to you!"

"good!"

Bu Dugen readily agreed: "In that case, I'm relieved. Aren't they just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled? Even if we compete with Kebi Neng, I won't be afraid."

Wei Tong just smiled and said: "In that case, I will stay with you during this period. After you defeat the Kebineng tribe, I will return to the general, and then ask the general for the position of Shanyu for you. "

"It's easy to say, it's my duty to serve the general, the emperor and the court. There's nothing to say, haha." Bu Dugen said with a smile.

"Wenyuan, how far is it from Yanmen County?"

"Marquis Wen, there are still less than thirty miles to go."

Zhang Liao looked to the north, his expression a little excited, because Yanmen County is Zhang Liao's hometown, and Lu Bu's hometown is Wuyuan County in the west. The generals and soldiers under Lu Bu's command are basically from Bingzhou, so Naturally, he was filled with indignation at Ke Bineng's invasion of his hometown.

"Report! Kebineng's vanguard Zonu leads 10,000 light cavalry, and they are less than twenty miles away from Qiangyin City!"

"Huh?" Lu Bu frowned. Qiangyin City is the northernmost city in Yanmen County, but it is a small city with a population of less than ten thousand people. Although Xianbei is all cavalry, it is not too difficult to attack such a small city.

Zhang Liao himself was from Yanmen. When he heard about this incident, he was naturally very anxious and took the initiative to ask for help: "Marquis Wen! Liao asked for orders to be the vanguard to attack the Suonu tribe and make the first contribution to our army!"

"Okay! Wenyuan is indeed generous. You will lead the five thousand cavalry to attack first and let these Xianbei people see how powerful we are!"
