"When I was in Liangzhou, I heard rumors about the Tuoba family of Xianbei: Tuoba Jiefen has no wife's family, and Tuoba Li is weak and has no uncle's family."

Feng took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food on the plate, put it into his mouth and chewed it twice symbolically.

Then he put down his chopsticks and looked at Tuoba Desert Khan opposite:

"Tuoba Xianbei is the current leader, but Tuoba is still weak?"

Hearing the nobleman mentioning his lord, Tuoba Desert Khan, who had just sat down, quickly stood up again and replied respectfully:

"Aye is naturally still the leader of the tribe."

Seeing Tuoba Desert Khan's words and deeds, Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the consciousness of most people, the Tuoba Desert Khan comes from the Suo head, which is not much different from the tribes on the grassland.

Because there are too many tribes on the grassland now.

Not to mention the origin of the Xianbei people is really too complicated.

After the Xiongnu completely declined, Xianbei took the opportunity to annex more than 100,000 of them and occupied the Monan area.

In recent years, the Dingling people and Gaoche people from Mobei have also been moving southward, so they inevitably have disputes with the Xianbei people.

So the Xianbei people merged with some Dingling and Gaoche people from Mobei.

Wuhuan was defeated by Cao Cao, and many Wuhuan people changed their identities and merged with Xianbei.

This situation allowed Xianbei to grow the tribe as quickly as possible when it was strong, such as in the early stages of Tanshihuai and Kebineng.

But the hidden danger is that it expands too fast and the outside tribes are not fully absorbed and assimilated internally. Once there is a trend of decline, it will easily split.

Still taking Tanshihuai and Kebineng as examples.

Once these two people die or become weak, the race will immediately fall apart.

It is precisely because of these years that the tribes on the grassland have become more and more complex and numerous.

So although Suotou is a large tribe with 100,000 string control people.

But their reputation within the fortress is not even as good as that of the tribes who are close to the border fortress all year round and trade with the Han people.

It just so happens that they are such a grassland tribe that lives in the northern part of Monan, far away from the frontiers and has few interactions with the Han Dynasty.

As a young patriarch, Tuoba Desert Khan seemed to be just subconscious in his words and deeds, but he revealed a very important message:

Only those who are deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains can achieve such performance.

It is not unusual for the Hu people to admire Han culture.

Especially in the western Xianbei area, the Liangzhou army drove an unknown number of Dingkou captives into labor within a few years.

In the central Xianbei area, Kebi Neng died and his family was wiped out, and tens of thousands of fine cavalry were buried in Qiaoshan and Jiuyuan.

Xianbei's last ridge bone was finally broken by someone Feng.

The psychological advantage that Xianbei had over the Han people created during the Tanshihuai era was completely shattered.

In addition, Jihan has an industrial chain that is unparalleled in the world, and the products it produces are like magnets, attracting the barbarians on the grassland.

From Juyan to Jiuyuan, and from Jiuyuan to Pingchang, everywhere is filled with barbarians who speak mixed Chinese and learn nondescript Han etiquette.

But without professional guidance and systematic study, they would never be able to be as smooth and natural as Tuoba Desert Khan.

Feng's mind was spinning and he asked:

"Tuoba Liwei is your master?"

"Adult" in Chinese and "adult" in Xianbei dialect have different meanings.

But Tuoba Desert Khan was familiar with Han family etiquette, so he naturally understood the meaning of the noble man's words.

"Back to my lord, that's right."

"Is he feeling well?"

"Thanks to your concern, Aye can still ride a horse and hunt, and he is still strong."

Hearing this, Feng couldn't help but sigh:

"I remember that he is just a few years younger than the bald boy, so he is almost 70 years old, right? I didn't expect that he is still so healthy."

Tuoba Desert Khan was sent here by Tuoba Liwei, so he was certainly not an ordinary person.

Seeing Mr. Feng's aura, and then hearing him mention Liangzhou, his tone seemed to be very familiar to the Tuoba clan.

When he heard the other person mention the bald orphan again, his heart moved.

Others don't know about the bald man, but how could Tuoba Desert Khan not know about it?

I heard that the Bald Tribe, which was separated from the Tuoba Tribe, had attached itself to Feng Duhu in Liangzhou in the early years.

At this time, he was so blessed that he suddenly remembered a very memorable encounter on the Baishan Mountain Trail a few days ago:

Feng Duhu, who came to Pingcheng a few days ago, isn't his surname Feng?

As soon as he thought of this, Tuoba Desert Khan's heart suddenly began to beat loudly.

He swallowed a mouthful of water with some difficulty, his heartbeat quickened, and his energy and blood surged.

I saw him asking tentatively:

"Listen to the noble man's tone and get acquainted with Aye?"

Feng shook his head:

"I don't know him, but he has been famous for a long time."

Now the Liangzhou Bald Tribe is split from the Tuoba Tribe.

Bald Pigu, the lord of the Bald Tribe, was originally the successor of the previous Xianbei lord of the Tuoba Tribe, Tuoba Jiefen.

Who would have expected that Tuoba Liwei, the son of a goddess, would appear halfway.

For the sake of what the goddess said, "descendants will inherit the throne and be the emperor from generation to generation", Tuoba Jiefen finally changed his mind and made Tuoba Liwei the heir of the tribe.

Tuoba Pigu was not angry, so he and his tribesmen who supported him fled westward.

Then he met Feng, and the fate of the tribe changed.

As for the Tuoba Xianbei who stayed on the grassland, their core tribe was Suotou.

Tuoba Xianbei was originally just a small species of Xianbei.

But as Tuoba Liwei is the son of the goddess of heaven, he is naturally not comparable to those ordinary leaders in the grassland, and he can be regarded as a heroic figure.

After the death of Tanshihuai, Xianbei was divided and various tribes attacked each other.

The Tuoba tribe was also inevitably involved in this chaos.

Knowing that he was unable to withstand this chaos, Tuoba Liwei took the initiative to rely on Dou Bin, the leader of the Moluhui tribe, to resist the Xianbei invasion in the west in order to avoid being exterminated.

In a certain battle, Dou Bin was defeated and even lost his horse, so he could only escape on foot.

At this critical moment, Tuoba Liwei gave him his handsome horse.

It was precisely because of this incident that Dou Bin was deeply moved and planned to give half of his land to Tuoba Liwei.

Of course, Tuoba Liwei must have strongly refused.

So Dou Bin married his favorite daughter to Tuoba Liwei.

At the same time, he helped Tuoba Liwei to go to Changchuan in northern Monan to establish a foothold.

Others were desperately trying to go south, but Tuoba Liwei's seemingly retrograde move actually gave Suo Toutou a chance to breathe and grow stronger.

Not only did it avoid Kebineng's annexation of the grassland tribes in the next ten years, but it also avoided being involved in disputes between Kebineng and the Han people in the south.

He was surrounded by endless wars, but Suo Touhou stayed peacefully in Changchuan, allowing many Xianbei people to seek refuge.

At the same time, when Kebi was defeated by the Wei State and Xianbei in the west was expelled by the Liangzhou Han people, Suotou took the opportunity to absorb many fleeing Hu people.

Over the years, Xianbei in the west, which was the first to split off, was almost destroyed, and Kebi Neng, the most powerful after Tanshihuaai, was exterminated.

Tuoba Xianbei, who lives in the northern part of Monan and is led by Tuoba Liwei, is growing stronger day by day, and unknowingly, it quietly controls half of Monan.

From a small tribe, Xianbei, it became the largest tribe on the grassland.

Feng was naturally well aware of this information.

But at this time, he deliberately looked at Tuoba Desert Khan with an appraising look:

"However, I heard that there are now 100,000 string-controllers in Suo's head, making it the largest tribe in the grassland."

"If you really wanted to kill someone on the head, why were you being harassed on the mountain road?"

Tuoba Desert Khan was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that the other party even knew about this.

But when he thought of the other party's possible identity, he quickly felt relieved.

"Since your noble lord knows what happened that day, you must also know that the people who made things difficult for me on the mountain road that day were people from the Wuluhui tribe."

"Then this matter becomes even more unreasonable. If I remember correctly, Suotou and Muluhuibu are related by marriage, right?"

"The nobles only know one, but don't know the other." Tuoba Desert Khan smiled bitterly, "It's true that the two tribes are related by marriage, but the Lord Wuluhui regards us as relatives, but his two sons may not."
