The second year of Wude, 316.
spring.
Daizhou, Shengle City.
The so-called 'Daizhou' is actually the new name this land has just received.
As the same administration as the Central Plains states, the newly established Daizhou basically governed the original Tuoba Xianbei territory.
Tuoba Xianbei, who originally ruled this land, broke out in civil strife last month.
Suotou Xianbei's eastern leader Yuan Mogen, Wulu Gubu leader Dou Luping and others suddenly launched an attack on Tuoba Pugen.
The Han troops who followed closely took the opportunity to advance from Yanmen and Daijun. Suotou Xianbei, who was already in civil strife, was unable to resist.
Da Shanyu Tuoba Pugen did not dare to fight, so he had to abandon Shengle City, which was surrounded by enemies both inside and outside, and led his followers to flee to Yinshan Mountain.
The Han army effortlessly conquered the Yunzhong County of Han Dynasty.
"The Holy Dynasty pardons sins and merits, abandons flaws and hires,,,,"
"Today you have abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and have attacked the captives. The Emperor has pardoned you for your past sins, and appointed you as county magistrates. I hope you will be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous to the herdsmen,,,"
In Shengle City, dozens of Tuoba Xianbei leaders who had surrendered were kneeling on the ground respectfully, listening to the edict issued by an emperor's envoy in front of them.
As a reward for abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side, these Tuoba Xianbei leaders were given Han surnames one after another, and served as the governors of counties under the newly established Daizhou Governor's Department.
Especially for the old Tuoba Xianbei tribe near Shengle City, which is now the new Yunzhong City, the grant from the Han army basically determined the authority relationship between their large and small tribes.
From then on, these Xianbei people directly obeyed the orders of Daizhou governor and governor, and no longer obeyed the orders of Tuoba Xianbei Great Chanyu.
As a reward for their loyalty, these tribal leaders will receive monthly payments of money, food, cloth, and silk, just like real officials.
These are things that the previous great Chanyu could not give.
Even the newly appointed Great Chanyu is even more impossible.
After all, the newly appointed Grand Dan Yu Yuan Mogen himself was just the governor of a county under Daizhou, and he was even on an equal footing with Dou Luping and others who had no deer bones.
After Liu Yu's envoy announced the edict, everyone present kowtowed and thanked him.
Everyone seems to be very satisfied with these rewards, but there is only one exception, and that is Yuan Mogen.
"Okay, the name of the emperor is here. As long as you obey my orders wholeheartedly, it will be no problem to be granted the title of marquis or noble in the future."
A Han general in military uniform stood up and said loudly.
This person was none other than Liu Kun, who had just led his troops from Dai County to settle in Shengle City.
Since his nephew Liu Yan led the remnants of his army to join the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou, Liu Kun hid in his hometown in Zhongshan and seemed to have the ambition not to eat Zhou Su.
However, as the Huns were massacred in Chang'an and Liu Kun's revenge for killing his father and mother was avenged, he immediately felt relieved.
Coupled with the desperate persuasion of his nephew Liu Yan, Liu Kun finally took the opportunity to attack Tuoba Xianbei and came out.
You know, Tuoba Xianbei is an old acquaintance of Liu Kun.
Liu Kun's reputation is very resounding in the northwest, so he is most suitable for recruiting.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. Although we are from Xianbei, from now on, we will all be subjects of the Emperor of the Han family, but we will be driven by him without any hesitation!"
Dou Luping, the leader of the Deer Bone Department who had just been appointed as the prefect of Hequ County, was in a good mood and expressed his loyalty to Liu Kun by patting his chest.
"Now that Tuoba Pugen is fleeing to Yinshan, there is a big threat of invading Hequ County and other places. The emperor has ordered Gou Xi of Baitu City to be the general in the northern expedition, and is ready to go straight to Yinshan to capture Pugen. You will also contribute horses, soldiers and Show loyalty!"
Another Han general next to Liu Kun said loudly.
Unlike Liu Kun, who was kind and friendly, this general had a serious and cold expression when he spoke. At first glance, he was not someone to be fooled.
This person is none other than the newly appointed Anbei General Ran Long.
As a general who came from the beggar army, Ran Long now had a higher status than his former superiors Chen Wu and others, and was already considered one of the most important generals.
Although Liu Kun, as the Duke of Zhongshan, holds the official positions of governor of Daizhou and governor of Daizhou's military affairs, there are not many local military soldiers in Daizhou. The real troops are all in Jizhou and Youzhou led by Ran Long. In the hands of the army.
"Don't worry, General Ran. That guy Tuoba Pugen is ignorant and dares to go against the emperor. We will capture him as soon as possible!"
A Suotou Xianbei who had just received a reward said loudly.
The rest of the Suotou Xianbei leaders also spoke in agreement.
Obviously, they are all very afraid of the fierce-looking Ran Long. After all, with Duan Xianbei's strength, they have been suppressed by the Han army led by Ran Long and are as obedient as hounds. These Suotou Xianbei still have self-awareness.
"The crusade against Tuoba Pugen still needs to wait for Gou Xi to pacify the remnants of the Huns who caused rebellion such as Tiefu. In the meantime, in addition to guarding the land and pacifying the people, you must also follow the emperor's orders as soon as possible, abide by the Holy Mandate and enlightenment, so that the tribes who did not know etiquette, justice and shame in the past can Everyone, please truly be good citizens!”
Zhongshan County Duke Liu Kun gave the instructions very seriously.
After hearing the order, everyone expressed their determination to obey the order and educate the people according to the imperial order.
After giving some more orders, Liu Kun asked them all to go back and wait.
After everyone left, Anbei General Ran Long immediately said to Liu Kun.
"Mr. Liu, your Majesty has an order to strictly supervise these Suolu leaders to prevent the lessons of the five Xiongnu tribes from happening again. Why didn't you just take the opportunity to ask these Suolu leaders to hand over hostages to prevent them from causing trouble again after they return?"
Ran Long knew that the Xianbei tribe in Daizhou was now numerically superior. If they did not rely on these tribal leaders, the only places the Han army could really control were the few cities in Shengle and Dongping.
However, the five Xiongnu tribes back then were also obedient internal subjects, even more obedient than today's Tuoba Xianbei, but they eventually turned into a major trouble that plagued the Central Plains for more than ten years.
"The general doesn't know that although these Suotou Xianbei look similar to us, the thoughts in their hearts are completely different," Liu Kun said.
"What do Mr. Liu mean by these words?"
Ran Long was a little curious. He had guarded Liaoxi and Dongping Prefectures. Whether they were Duanbu Xianbei, Haoqi, Woju and other miscellaneous barbarians, as long as they handed over hostages, most of them would be honest.
"These captives don't care about human relations with each other. Although they are father and son, they rarely have admiration. Even if they hand over their sons as hostages, they will never care if they have any objections."
Liu Kun's words made Ran Long immediately understand the difference in philosophy between them.
