Chapter 1300 Grassland(2/2)
But at the same time, we will also face more serious white disasters than those in the south.
As well as the disadvantage of being inconvenient to trade with Nan Xia in exchange for supplies.
And as more and more tribes came to rely on them, the population also continued to increase, and the pressure on food rations became greater and greater.
This transaction going south was actually a test by Tuoba Liwei.
Because Beichuan can no longer bear so many tribes and people.
Coupled with the unpredictable climate in recent years, the matter of moving south has reached a point where it has to be put on the agenda.
The situation in Southern Xia forced Tuoba Liwei to make a choice between Han and Wei.
Obviously, Tuoba Liwei chose Wei in the end.
"Profess Wei and abandon Han!"
Tuoba Desert Khan walked out of his tent, looking gloomy.
To this day, Tuoba Desert Khan is still a little frightened when he thinks of the extremely sharp Han army he saw outside Pingcheng.
Also in Youzhou, the frontier fortress of Wei State, it was not like he had never seen the Wei army before.
If he really had to choose between the two as his opponent, he would rather choose Wei Jun.
However, what the deacon said was not unreasonable.
Both the western and central parts of the country perished at the hands of the Han, especially figures like Ke Bineng, who were rare figures in Xianbei and could not escape the fate of death and annihilation.
So if Suotou was close to the Han Dynasty, how could he avoid such a fate?
The noise that sounded not far away interrupted Tuoba Desert Khan's thinking.
He looked up and saw that it was getting late and someone had lit a bonfire and started grilling mutton.
A group of people gathered around the bonfire, many of them wrapped in fine woolen clothes exchanged from Wei State, singing and dancing.
Others couldn't wait to take out the spirits that were also obtained from the Wei people. You take a sip and I take a sip.
In the grassland in September, the nights have begun to get cold.
A few sips of strong liquor can warm up the body, which is really the best thing.
Seeing his subordinates enjoying the materials exchanged from Wei State, all looking happy and happy, Tuoba Desert Khan's heart moved:
It seems that these things were originally produced in Han Dynasty, right?
Unexpectedly, in order to win over Kehan, Wei Guo was willing to give up all the good things in exchange.
In fact, if you really want these things, you can go to Pingcheng.
But to be honest, Wei seems to be much more generous than Han.
Not only were they given more things than those in Han, but they were also better than those in Han.
So I can’t really blame you for choosing to trade with Wei...
Um?
Pingcheng?
Tuoba Desert Khan seemed to have a vague idea flashing across his eyes.
At this time, people on the other side of the bonfire also saw Tuoba Desert Khan. Someone raised a wine bag and greeted him loudly:
"Eldest Prince, come over and have a drink together!"
At this time, Tuoba Desert Khan finally caught the thought that almost slipped away. He didn't even notice that someone was calling him. He suddenly turned around and ran towards the sweat tent again.
The person holding the wine bag is Kuxian, the king of Wuwan. He is not from the Xianbei tribe and can only be regarded as a new member.
However, Tuoba Liwei paid great attention to him because of his whole clan. Otherwise, he would not have been able to install the felt tent near the Khan tent.
At this time, not only did he not get a response from the eldest prince, but he was humiliated in front of everyone.
In addition, after drinking, my face suddenly became a little uneasy, and my face became ugly.
"Hahaha, that brother of mine has always been aloof and doesn't like contact with strangers. Don't blame King Ku Xian. Don't blame him! Come on, let me invite King Ku Xian to drink this wine tonight, so I can apologize!"
A man came over from nowhere, laughed and said to Ku Xian. At the same time, he held up the wine bag in his hand, took a big sip, and then handed it to King Ku Xian.
Karasuma King Ku Xian, who felt that he had been humiliated by Tuoba Desert Khan, forced a smile on his face when he saw this man apologizing:
"I don't dare to be the second prince, I don't dare to be the second prince! I should respect you."
In the sweat tent, Tuoba Desert Khan faced Tuoba Liwei, who was a little shocked that he had left and returned, and directly asked:
"Sir, I want to go to Han again!"
"Huh?" Tuoba Liwei, who was about to go out to drink and eat meat with the tribesmen, was startled when he heard his son's words:
"My son, what do you mean?"
Tuoba Desert Khan took a breath:
"My lord, please listen to what I'm saying. In order to win over the tribes on the grassland, the Han Dynasty specially set up a market in Pingcheng."
"When I was in Pingcheng last time, I heard that many nearby tribes had defected to the Han State and received preferential treatment from the Han State."
"It's just that at that time, as a child, I was only thinking about how to get Han to recognize us as the lords of the grassland and do business with us, but I didn't bother to inquire about the details of the matter."
At this time, the deacon next to him spoke with some sadness:
"Does the eldest prince mean that we, like those tribes, should surrender to the Han and rely on them, and hand over all the lives of our tribes to the Han?"
"of course not!"
Tuoba Desert Khan waved his hands repeatedly and explained:
"What I mean is, if this matter is true, does it mean that the Han State cannot tolerate the barbarians on the grassland? Do we not have to be enemies of the Han State?"
When Tuoba Desert Khan heard his son's words, he immediately frowned. He wanted to say, "Absurd!"
In the Battle of Chibi, Sun and Liu joined forces to fight against Cao, so that the Three Kingdoms could stand together.
If Sun and Cao join forces to destroy Liu, is Cao Cao afraid that he will turn around and destroy Sun Quan?
But just as he was about to say the words, another thought suddenly came to his mind: What if it's not Cao Cao but Cao Pi?
I heard that Sun Quan was the king of Wu in the Wei Dynasty...
The black-clothed deacon had been with Tuoba Liwei for a long time and knew his temperament well. When he saw the change in his expression, he knew that his determination to resist the Han was not yet firm.
So he took the initiative and said:
"Ke Han, since the eldest prince has such intention, he takes the initiative to ask for help, which is very commendable. If this can help us find another way out, it might not be a good thing."
When Tuoba Liwei heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief:
"Since the deacon said so, I might as well go and find out more."
When Tuoba Desert Khan heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy:
"My child obeys your orders!"
The deacon in black also smiled and nodded, looking very pleased with what the eldest prince had done.
But when he came out of the sweat tent and returned to his felt tent, his face immediately darkened.
I could only hear him murmuring:
"If you are sensible, I think you have the blood of the Han family in your body, so I can help you rise to the top."
"If you are determined to join the enemy, even if you are a descendant of the Han family, you will have to kill your relatives out of justice."
"And Dou Bin, you have lived long enough. I could have waited for you to die before taking action because of your hatred of the Han Kingdom, but it is a pity that time does not wait for me!"
"Don't blame me. If you do, blame your two sons for being useless!"
