After sending Liu Ba away, Chen Xi had no intention of going back to sleep, and instead began to think about and study the intelligence that Jia Xu had sent him.
"What a ghost. It is said that this year the Bingzhou border will be attacked close to Yongzhou, but so far I haven't seen the ghost of the Northern Huns. Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Chen Xi reported all the information related to Bingzhou After reading it once, I felt puzzled.
Chen Xi himself did not believe that Lu Bu brutally defeated Xi Xianbei and caused the Northern Huns to not dare to go south. According to his inference, the Northern Huns should be to the west of Bingzhou, and on the grassland, even Liu Bei knew how to use war eagles to collect intelligence. , would the Northern Huns not understand?
What's more, Lu Bu turned Langjuxu Mountain into a lake. This is an ancestral tomb. If the Northern Huns didn't respond, Chen Xi would never believe it. But the current fact is that there are not a large number of barbarians north of Bingzhou. This is simply unbelievable. science!
To be honest, Chen Xi's eagerness to deal with Yuan Tan and Bei Xianbei, Fuyu, and Karasuma actually had some intentions that Cao Cao couldn't deal with.
After Cao Cao killed Xi Xianbei, it seemed that there were no enemies in the north, and he basically didn't have to worry about being attacked while sitting in the Hetao. But in fact, Chen Xi was waiting to see how much fun Cao Cao had.
It stands to reason that starting from this year, the difficulty of the Hu people north of Bingzhou will rise from the ordinary level to the hell level for the Han Dynasty, because the template of the Hu people has been changed to the Northern Huns.
If Chen Xi guessed correctly, the so-called Xianbei who occupied the entire Bingzhou at that time should be the Northern Xiongnu.
At least Chen Xi would not think that the Han army, which had fought with Xianbei for more than a hundred years and had only lost once, could suddenly be defeated so miserably. Apart from changing opponents, Chen Xi could not think of any other possibility.
Only in this way can we explain that the Northern Huns, who were defeated fifty years ago and only had a few hundred thousand people left, actually had more than a million people when they were destroyed after more than ten years of rest, and the number of people who controlled the strings exceeded Two hundred thousand.
Without this combat effectiveness, even if the Northern Huns' combat effectiveness was equal to that of the Han army at its peak, they would not be able to break through the new Central Asian empire that was being formed at that time - the Sasanian Persian Empire.
As a tribe that was almost exterminated, it can only be said that they have found a way that does not require consuming their own strength to be able to regain their combat effectiveness in such a short period of time. And that is definitely not an escape, it can only be a place where you have no worries about food and clothing!
Based on this, the Battle of Bingzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was obviously a lot weirder. As for why it is recorded in history that it was the Xianbei and not the Northern Huns who invaded Yongzhou. Chen Xi understands it very well. This is too simple. Are you really a big man who knows all the tribes on the grassland?
Xianbei, Wuwan, Xiongnu. This is a general term, just like the pronunciation of Ten Miles and One Township in the Han Dynasty. The words spoken by these tribes must be different. Basically, they say that they are what they are. This is also recorded in the Han Dynasty.
This is why Gongsun Zan only said to kill the barbarians, not which tribes to kill, because he couldn't tell. If Gongsun Zan said that he only killed Wuwan, believe it or not, the Wuwan tribe would be renamed Xianbei tomorrow. This kind of thing. Where is survival important?
Anyway, it is not unheard of in the Han Dynasty that a certain tribe of the Southern Xiongnu was regarded as a Xianbei tribe and was exterminated. They all wore furs and looked different from the Han people. They were collectively called Hu people. If you can distinguish Xianbei, Karasuma, the Xiongnu is really capable.
Therefore, Chen Xi suspected that Bingzhou was completely taken away by Xianbei. Either the Northern Xiongnu claimed to be Xianbei, or the Northern Xiongnu swallowed up Western Xianbei, inserted its own backbone, and let a lion lead the flock. Don’t say that you are a Northern Huns...
Chen Xi would never believe that Xianbei, the scumbag who had been beaten on the ground by the Great Wall garrison, would suddenly burst out with strength far beyond this level.
If you look at the map of the late Han Dynasty and the map of the Three Kingdoms, you can clearly see the difference. Before the Battle of Guandu, the Xianbei people had reached a place one or two hundred miles away from Chang'an. This is the capital of the country!
The northernmost part of Bingzhou is almost more than a thousand miles from Chang'an. This is a national war. The national war front has been pushed for more than a thousand miles, and it is almost pushed to the capital. It seems that the last time foreigners pushed to this place was the Western Han Dynasty, when the Xiongnu beacon fire sweet spring.
As for why they are not called Northern Huns, Chen Xi knows very well. If we call them the Northern Xiongnu, just look at Liu Zhi, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. The Northern Xiongnu had just raised his flag and barked twice at Puleihai. Emperor Huan directly sent troops thousands of miles away to fight to death the Northern Xiongnu.
Everyone probably knows how much of a scumbag Emperor Huan Ling is. As a loyal member of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang denounced these two men for causing chaos in the world. But even if they were such scumbags, Emperor Huan heard the Northern Huns shouting from thousands of miles away. , all know that they will send troops to start a war without hesitation.
This shows how great the hatred between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu orthodoxy was. Let alone the Northern Huns attacking Bingzhou, as long as it was known that the Northern Xiongnu still existed, the Han Dynasty would have meaning to continue fighting.
It can be said that in the Han Dynasty, killing the orthodox Xiongnu was both politically correct and morally correct. Killing the orthodox Northern Xiongnu, enfeoffing princes and tearing up the soil can be discussed. Therefore, with just a few people from the Northern Xiongnu, if they dare to openly call themselves Northern Xiongnu, they will not die. That’s weird!
In order to be politically correct, all the warlords in the late Eastern Han Dynasty needed to fight the Northern Huns first. The banner of royal orthodoxy may not be as confusing as this blood feud that lasted for hundreds of years.
Therefore, if the Northern Huns had set a clear banner, there might still be hope for the Han Dynasty not to collapse. The possibility of the civil war turning into a foreign war was almost 100%. And once there was a foreign war, if the Northern Huns chased and fought with them, they might still be able to survive. Find a bargain.
But what's weird about the current situation is that Chen Xi didn't see the intelligence that a large number of Western Xianbei tribes had gathered in the north of Bingzhou.
And if the troops are not assembled, let alone the scattered troops of the Xianbei people, even if they are really the Northern Huns, they will be useless. This is simply impossible for the situation that Chen Xi has always speculated!
[Could it be that it was really Xianbei who pushed the battle line from the northern part of Bingzhou to the northern part of Yongzhou? Don't tell me it was the Xianbei group headed by Helian last year? 】Chen Xi felt that his brain was a little lacking. If He Lian had such ability, would Ke Bi Neng kill him?
Last year's wave of Xianbei was quite good, but because it was beaten by Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Ma Chao, it looked awkward, but to be honest, the strength was actually quite good.
But even though it was pretty good, Chen Xi didn't believe it at all. That group of Zhan Wu Zha, led by He Lian, the Zhi Wu Zha, could reach Yongzhou without the resistance of Lu Bu and Cao Cao. It was more than a thousand miles away, right? , In addition, Bingzhou is a military nest.
If Xianbei had this ability, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu had left Bingzhou for seven or eight years, why were they still stuck in those places in Hetao Yunzhong for the first seven or eight years! (To be continued.)
