Liu Bao did not deliberately go against Qubei, he was completely considering the actual situation of the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu had a total population of only more than 300,000.
The previous disastrous defeat in the Hedong battle made it even worse.
In fact, failure is not terrible.
The Huns lost far more battles than they won!
The terrible thing is that after the failure, a large number of young people were killed and injured.
An adult Hun cavalry cannot be trained in a few years.
It takes at least fifteen years from birth!
This means that a defeat with heavy casualties will take fifteen years to recuperate.
This also requires that the overall population is large enough.
Three hundred thousand is obviously not a large amount.
In other words, if one Hun soldier dies, one is missing.
Under such circumstances, we still have to compete with the Xianbei people for supremacy?
It’s okay to win.
If defeated, the Xiongnu will perish by itself without anyone else taking action.
It's a pity that this analysis of the essence not only failed to gain the approval of Qubei, but also attracted angry rebuke.
First there was an extremely unpleasant, sarcastic laugh for the sake of sarcasm.
Later, Qubei refuted it by saying that Xianbei had long been in decline.
Outside Xiaoguan City, one hundred thousand Xianbei are still buried.
There were several battles in Guanzhong, and hundreds of thousands of Xianbei corpses were bullied by jackals.
The eastern, central, and western Xianbei took turns to fight bloody battles, almost causing the dying Xianbei people to breathe their last breath.
In Qubei's view, as long as he leads all the Xiongnu warriors to raid the Xianbei royal court, he will definitely win in one battle!
After destroying the Xianbei royal court, other tribes surrendered!
At that time, the former glory of Maodun Shanyu can be restored!
Qu Bei originally thought that his bold words and lofty ideals and shocking plans would make Liu Bao speechless, so admired that he fell to the ground, and even bowed down and surrendered.
It's a pity that Liu Bao didn't give Qubei everything he wanted. Instead, he gave Qubei all his disdain and contempt.
Do you know how many people there are in Xianbei?
Liu Bao only asked this question, leaving Qubei stunned and speechless.
All the heroic words before have turned into jokes.
Even Hu Chuquan, the humble father, showed dissatisfaction.
You don't even know how many people there are on the other side, and you still want to sneak attack on someone else's royal court?
When the time comes, you will bring 100,000 people there, but 300,000 people will be waiting for you. How will it end?
Did you tell Bu Dugen that I would come and see you?
Qubei's father Hu Chuquan's reproach made Qubei completely shattered.
Refute directly and angrily.
After so many changes, even if Xianbei had 10 million people, most of them would be dead now!
Then, he began to insult Liu Bao for being timid, cowardly, and unworthy of being King Zuoxian of the Huns.
Instead of being angered, Liu Bao looked down on Qubei even more.
Liu Bao knew the information that Qubei didn’t know!
The overall situation of Xianbei will be revealed immediately.
Not only the current situation, but also before the change.
Including how to evolve and how to infer, everything is explained!
Qubei was confused when he heard this, and his face was full of doubts.
But when he heard a number, he was stunned again.
Bu Dugen raised the power of three Xianbei troops, with a total of 200,000 people!
Two hundred thousand?
Let’s not talk about whether the Xiongnu can defeat them. We can first see if we can find 200,000 people who can fight on horseback!
The importance of volume is immediately apparent.
During its prosperity, Xianbei had a population of millions.
Even after experiencing repeated heavy losses, its total population is still not something that the Southern Xiongnu can handle.
Perhaps, including the Northern Huns who migrated westward, they can almost give it a try.
Liu Bao knew that being an enemy of Xianbei was actually seeking death, so he refused mercilessly.
When Shanyu Huchuquan heard the figure of two hundred thousand, he immediately gave up the idea of becoming an enemy of Xianbei.
Not to mention 200,000, even if it were a hundred thousand troops, Huchuquan would not take the risk.
Even if he does nothing, Huchuquan can still be a chanyu and command hundreds of thousands of people.
Why take such a big risk?
Maybe one mistake could lead to him getting involved!
Since the defeat of Hedong, Huchuquan's courage has become less and less courageous.
Without support, the reckless plan to go to Bei was completely declared bankrupt.
This once again intensified the resentment in Qubei's heart.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so what can I do?
Qubei posed the problem to Liu Bao and asked him to come up with a solution to get the best of both worlds.
Liu Bao had already considered this and immediately revealed his plan.
On the one hand, he sent people to contact Cao Cao to seek help from Cao Cao.
On the other hand, he sent people to find ways to get closer to Liu Zhang and ease the relationship with Qin.
Subsequently, following the example of the Han people, military fortresses were built in the Hetao area.
Only with strong military power can other forces pay attention.
As long as the Han army cannot capture the Xiongnu, there will naturally be a chance for peace talks.
At present, there are a large number of Han slaves in Hetao, and the construction of the fortress does not require the Huns to do anything. It is simply a God-given opportunity!
As long as you follow this strategy, you will eventually get the results you want.
After blurting out this three-party strategy, Qu humble was instantly shocked on the spot.
They are both human beings, so why does he know how to fight and kill, while Liu Bao knows how to use other methods?
From the beginning to the end, Liu Bao never mentioned who he would send troops to fight.
This means no soldiers are lost at all.
Therefore, even if they return without success, they will only lose some Han slaves at most!
If it works, everyone is happy; if it doesn't work, there is no loss.
Hu Chuquan was overjoyed and immediately expressed his full support for Liu Bao.
But when Liu Bao made the request, the smile suddenly froze on his face.
In fact, the request was very simple. Liu Bao wanted all Han slaves.
It's not that Huchuquan is reluctant to part with it, but simply unable to agree.
During this period, all the work of the Xiongnu was handled by the Han people, and they had developed a habit.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!
Let the Huns, who have been idle for so long, go to herd horses and sheep again?
Huchuquan estimated that raising it would trigger public outrage.
Maybe, this Shanyu is about to reach his end!
Furthermore, if all the Han people are in Liu Bao's hands, then Liu Bao's right to speak will be different!
If Liu Bao raised his arms and agreed to give slaves to all the Huns, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Huchuquan was able to take over the position of Xiongnu Chanyu from various Yufuluo, so he was certainly not a fool.
Soon I thought about whether Liu Bao might have selfish motives or even a conspiracy!
Qubei, who had always been brainless, suddenly became enlightened.
However, still reckless.
He pointed at Liu Bao and cursed angrily.
He blurted out unscrupulous words such as arrogant ambitions and attempts to usurp the throne, etc.
The more he scolded him, the happier he became. However, the more he listened to Hu Chuquan, the more frightened he became.
Although he finally stopped the crazy Qubei, he completely rejected Liu Bao's suggestion in his heart.
For Hu Chuquan, the most realistic thing is that he would rather do nothing than make a mistake!
