Chapter 427 What is hidden in Guangning County?

"The Xianbei tribes are about to have civil war?"

When Shu Jiao, Zhang Kang and others heard the news, their first reaction was an accident and their faces were solemn.

"Is this true or false?"

"It shouldn't be fake," Chen Zhi said calmly at the two newly-coming figures, "These news was revealed by Tuoba Yulu inadvertently. I was surprised when I asked him, and after that, he also mentioned his concerns."

Yang Song scratched his head. He noticed that everyone's expressions were solemn. He heard Chen Zhi's solemnity and couldn't help asking: "The Xianbei tribes are the Tuoba Xianbei who are the most close to the west and directly border the Xiongnu. The main center of the Xianbei is in the northeast. Murong, Yuwen and Duan Xianbei are all among them. They have many disputes and often attack each other. There are countless disputes of all sizes. There is almost no stop. They want to fight, don't make a fuss?"

Chen Zi said: "What you are talking about is an ordinary tribal war. The grassland people and the forest people do not work for production and make a living by plundering. In addition to invading the Central Plains, they attack each other and compete for livestock and population. However, the scale of this war is not large and does not last long. It is rare to last for several days. It is often a robbery and then change the place."

Su Liao then added: "In addition to the plunder among tribes, this group of people on the frontier also often annexed. In the most chaotic time, within a month, the name of the tribe can be counted because of repeated annexation and uncertain names. This combination is different from plunder and often has a profound impact."

"If the tribes on the frontier change again, after the annexation, there will often be power to rise!" Shu Jiao's expression was grim, and his eyes were flashing with memories. "My father once mentioned that annexation in nomads is the most cruel. The failed tribe is not only a country and a race, but even its own traces in history will be covered by the winners and replaced by them!"

"Yes," Zhang Kang nodded, "The nomads who can leave their names are all powerful, with vast grasslands and hundreds of tribes, but only those who can really know are those few. All the rest are submerged, either destroyed by migration or merged by most of them. After being merged, even the original name cannot be retained. In the end, all kinds of people are considered to be a tribe. This is the end of no historians, and even their own origins are unknown. Poor and sad."

Yang Song looked at the two of them in surprise, nodding to say that they had been taught, but secretly wondered why these two people were willing to speak suddenly? They had only heard and said nothing before.

But he didn't know that Shu Jiao and Zhang Kang lived in Jizhou all year round and were very close to Youzhou. The natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years have long affected Jizhou from Youzhou. Therefore, they were quite concerned about the nomads in the north, and their families also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this regard. In a certain aspect, their understanding of the grassland must be higher than that of ordinary scholars.

Chen Zhi then spoke again: "This time is not a simple tribal conflict. It is led by the Yuwen Xianbei and Duan Xianbei. They contacted several tribes around and formed a coalition force to attack Murong together!"

Su Liao frowned and asked: "Does the master of this coalition know which companies are there? Which general Wang has joined?"

"According to Tuoba Yulu's statement, there are four companies that have been identified. In addition to the Yuwen Xianbei and Duan Xianbei, they are the Youping prefectures of General Wang. As for the fourth one, it is Goguryeo. Tuoba Xianbei only received an invitation to raise an army and has not agreed. But I heard Tuoba Yulu's tone. His uncle, the leader of Tuoba Yilu, seemed to be interested in sending troops to take advantage of the situation."

"Goguryeo?" Su Liao's brows became tighter and tighter. "This country is located in the northeast, and its power has penetrated into several counties in North Korea. It has the intention of annexing four counties, exterminating the three Koreans, and replacing them. But after all, it is just a small border country. It is reported that it was also attacked by General Wang, so the other three are the real important ones."

Chen Zi nodded and said, "Especially Wang Jun, if he sends troops, Murong Xianbei will be unlucky! However, the internal disputes between the Xianbei do not involve the Central Plains, why should Wang Jun get involved? Could it be that he wants to balance? If so, the best way is to be an intermediary, weigh all parties, and maintain the existence of Murong Xianbei so that the Xianbei people can restrain each other."

"What the general thinks? Naturally, we have no way to know. Perhaps in order to fulfill the obligations of allies, he has a close relationship with the Duan Xianbei. He heard that he is a relative of his children. The initiator of this coalition was the Duan Xianbei. Yuwen Xianbei had a feud with Murong Xianbei and intended to get close to General Wang, so he agreed. In contrast, Tuoba Xianbei was not eager because of his distance, and was still separated by Yuwen and Duan."

Chen Zhi explained it again, and then added: "Of course, these are all the same words as Tuoba Yulu, which are credible or not, and they need to be verified before they can be known. But if what he said is true, then the entire north, especially the front line, will have huge changes, and we must prepare in advance!"

Chen Zhi knew very well that the GDP of nomadic peoples was basically robbed, so the wars between tribes were often more cruel and fierce. Judging from the nomadic people he was currently in contact with, the situation of Chineseization was not optimistic. Although the strategies left in his previous life left traces on them, the impact of life on them was even deeper.

Nomad leaders who have been influenced by the Central Plains culture will show the habit of the Central Plains when they are studying in the Central Plains, but once they return to the tribe, are influenced by tribal culture, participate in tribal power struggles, and even struggle for survival and reproduction in the harsh grasslands and deserts, the etiquette of the Central Plains will naturally be replaced by more practical behaviors.

"I took it for granted in my previous life, and my ideas were not mature enough."

With this understanding and looking at the people in front of him, Chen Zhi said earnestly: "If this battle comes true, no matter what the result is, the chaos will continue for a period of time. During this period, several major forces in the north and northeast will be involved. Even in Youzhou, Pingzhou, some of the troops will be restrained. Judging from Tuoba's tone, they also want to take advantage of the situation and get some benefits. They will inevitably invest some of the troops in. The forces of several major forces are involved. You can definitely see the hidden dangers behind this."

Chen Zi narrowed his eyes and said in a cautious tone: "The Murong Xianbei will become a depression, attracting all the forces of the surrounding forces. The remaining troops of those forces will become weak, especially General Wang and Tuoba Xianbei. Some of their troops were originally going to contain the Huns. If they invest too much in the Murong Xianbei, the restraint on the Huns would become smaller!"

Su Liao's eyes leaped and continued: "Not only that, the war between the big clans will inevitably bring chaos among the small clans, and the rampant scattered soldiers and raids. Although the major clans on the frontier often invade, their organizations are relatively stable and maintain the order of the grassland to a certain extent. Once they fall into war, they have no time to take care of them. The small forces that were originally suppressed and controlled by them will become active. These small forces have no foresight and do not know the importance of the severity. They are likely to go south when they are not controlled to disrupt the frontier prefectures and counties! In the end, although they are easily eliminated, the impact they cause will not disappear!"

After he said this, even Yang Song changed his color. He looked at Chen Zhi and asked, "Brother-in-law, when will this battle happen?"

"There is no exact date for such a thing," Chen Zhi shook his head. "We don't have any espionage persons, so we can only ask more questions from Tuoba Yulu, but he didn't want to reveal too much. According to his statement, the Xianbei of Duan tribe originally wanted to rely on Wang Jun to obtain a title from the court, and then send troops legitimately, but now it seems that they have not been able to do so, so this day of sending troops was put on hold."

Su Liao pondered for a moment and said, "Murong Xianbei must be preparing too. We will hurry up and send one or two men to resettle several Xianbei people, lurk and collect information, maybe it is still time."

"Well, you can arrange this matter, but don't have to be too anxious. Otherwise, if you send it to someone, it will be more cost-effective," Chen Zhi nodded, and then changed his subject, "But, spies are ultimately a means, can warn, but not a way to deal with the crisis. Everyone, tell me, if the crisis breaks out and the war comes in a month or less, how will Dai County deal with it? What force do we have to resist?"

Chen Zi looked solemn and estimated the time: "If the war breaks out, at most half a month, the small tribes on the grassland will realize that the major tribes that originally restricted themselves have lost some control. They may be involved in it at first, but they will definitely be consumed. When they suffer heavy losses, the war will enter the direct confrontation between the major tribes, and these small tribes will be liberated, perhaps when they go south..."

Su Liao said with a serious expression: "At most, in March, the Huns will be ready for invasion. Whether it is a decisive battle with the Xianbei in the north or a decisive battle in the south, they can all move calmly. However, if the Tuoba Xianbei decides to join the war, they will definitely make good response measures, and the Han court is even more difficult to deal with. Therefore, the Huns are likely to enter Youzhou east! Then Dai County will be the first to be blasted!"

"Not these must have happened, but just speculation." Yang Song suddenly said, "It's hard to say whether Tuoba Yulu is credible or not."

"No," Chen Zhi nodded, and then smiled, "But he also revealed a message. Perhaps through this message, we can see a little bit."

"What news?"
