Chapter 332 The King of Xianbei.
Chapter 332: The King of Xianbei.
Sun Zhongmou, kneeling on the ground, stared blankly at Liu Wu, who was sitting on a tall horse, and felt as if he were in another world.
At the beginning, someone kidnapped his sister Sun Shangxiang, which led to many disputes with Liu Wu...
In fact, among Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, Sun Quan was the first one to know the true identity of the Xiling bandit general.
When Sun Bofu, the first ruler of Jiangdong, was establishing his career, he fought the Battle of Shentingling.
If Liu Wu had decided to fight for Jiangdong at that time, it would be unknown to whom the six counties and eighty-one states of Jiangdong would end up...
Thinking of this, Sun Quan smiled broadly. Now that the whole world was going to be his, what was the point of talking about the eighty-one states of Jiangdong and Liujun?
At this time, Liu Wu had already dismounted from his horse.
He walked forward slowly and helped Sun Zhongmou up: "Zi Lie can be where he is today, all thanks to the efforts of my uncle. Since I fled to Gong'an, from the princess to Gan Ning, and the Shanyue soldiers, they helped me defeat Cao Cao in Xiling."
"Not to mention that the coalition forces later conquered Jingnan. Without the Jiangdong navy, how could I return to Gong'an?"
"Later, during the battle of Xiangfan in the north, my uncle helped Zilie capture the important town of Xiangyang."
"Finally, I even mobilized the troops of Danyang and the generals of Jiangdong to help me conquer Guanzhong, pacify Liangzhou, and take over the Western Regions..."
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment...
How is this going?
Did he really help Liu Wu so much?
How can it be?
Haven't I been hesitating... No, haven't I been waiting for an opportunity to act?
How could Liu Wu say that he seemed to have been supporting him unwaveringly from the very beginning?
but,
After a brief thought, everything Liu Wu said just now was actually happening!
There is no falsehood...
This time, Sun Quan actually felt flattered.
I feel that I have also contributed a lot in supporting the throne.
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty still remembered all these old things." Sun Quan seemed very moved, with tears in his eyes.
Patting the back of Sun Zhongmou's hand, Liu Wu said, "Uncle, don't kneel when you see me in the future. Not to mention now, even if I ascend the throne in a few days, you won't have to kneel."
This was considered an extremely special treatment for Sun Quan.
"It was fine that the Han Dynasty was weak in the past, but now that the new king has ascended the throne, the government needs to be revitalized. I don't want to destroy the etiquette and laws!" Sun Quan spoke with confidence.
This scene stunned Liu Feng and Cao Pi who came over. How skilled and slick he was... It was definitely not something that these green hands could compare to.
Liu Wu no longer wanted to continue tangling with Sun Quan like this, so he threw his sleeves and said, "Uncle, please do as you please."
As he said this, he walked towards Cao Pi and Liu Feng, and Sun Quan hurriedly accompanied him...
Swish! ~
Before Liu Wu came over, everyone knelt on one knee...
"This is Cao Pi, the Crown Prince of Wei."
Sun Quan introduced Liu Wu to...
Liu Wu only glanced at Cao Pi, saw the scar on his neck, and looked back at Sun Quan: "This is a matter between Wei and Wu, I will not get involved."
Cao Pi couldn't help but grit his teeth, he knew that Liu Wu was no longer going to take care of this matter.
He got whipped for nothing.
"Master Pi, why haven't you seen your father, the King of Wei?" Liu Wu asked.
Cao Pi bowed and said, "Your Highness, after my father returned to Yecheng, he caught a cold and was bedridden, so he asked me to come to the court on his behalf..."
At this time, Liu Wu was equivalent to the crown prince.
Calling him Your Highness is quite appropriate...
Cao Pi turned around and pointed at the person behind him: "Your Highness, this is Gongsun Kang of Liaodong."
Gongsun Kang took two steps forward and knelt at Liu Wu's feet.
Cao Pi continued to introduce:
"Gongsun Kang is the son of Gongsun Du of Liaodong. After he inherited the family business, the Gongsun family of Liaodong became quite powerful. They once defeated Goguryeo and captured its capital. They also set up Daifang County (in Gyeonggi Province and Chungcheong Province of Korea), raised an army to attack Han Ye, and made their mark on the Korean Peninsula..." Liu Wu nodded. He was quite familiar with the affairs of Liaodong.
After the Yellow Turbans, the country was in chaos, and many people from the Central Plains took refuge in Liaodong
The enterprising spirit and hard work of Gongsun Du, the Marquis of Yongning Township, brought temporary peace to Liaodong and promoted the development of local production technology and feudal culture. During this period, Liaodong was peaceful and "the strong did not bully the weak, the majority did not oppress the minority, and merchants did not bargain for prices." At the same time, the Central Plains was in turmoil and war, and many people from the Central Plains took refuge in Liaodong.
Finally, he commented on Gongsun Kang: "He is a local hero, and quite a figure."
Gongsun Kang immediately prostrated himself: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind praise..."
Liu Wu then began to shift his attention. He did not try to win over Gongsun Kang because there was no need to. The people brought by Cao Pi were all Cao Mengde's men.
The Central Plains is too far away from them, and Hebei is too close...
"Your Highness, this is the current ruler of Goguryeo."
The capital of Goguryeo had just been conquered. Although he was wearing a gorgeous robe, he looked timid. "Although Goguryeo is a small country, it admires the culture of the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, it has been able to enter the Heavenly Dynasty to pay homage..."
"Yes." Liu Wu responded: "From now on, Goguryeo must listen to the words of the King of Wei of the Han Dynasty, otherwise the country will be destroyed at any time..."
at last,
Liu Wu's sight fell on a group of Hu people.
"Your Highness, these are the Xianbei princes."
Xianbei...
At that time, the Huns swept across the grasslands and attacked in all directions. The Yuezhi were forced to migrate westward and later established the Kushan Empire.
The Dong Hu fled to Wuhuan Mountain and named themselves Wuhuan. The Wuhuan fought against Yuan Shao but were slaughtered by Cao Cao and never recovered.
A branch of the Donghu who fled through the Xianbei Mountains was named Xianbei.
Because the Northern Xiongnu fled westward, the Dayue people fled westward, the Southern Xiongnu surrendered, the Wuhuan was unable to recover, and after a hundred years of war between the Qiang and Han, the Qiang people were also in trouble. As a result, the vast grasslands in the north fell into a vacuum, and this was the most important period of development for the Xianbei people.
Among the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the foreign tribe that ultimately reaped the greatest rewards was the Xianbei.
"Your Highness, this is the Xianbei ruler of the Duan clan."
Among the Xianbei, the Duan clan was the first to rise and was loyal to the Jin Dynasty. However, they declined due to the mistaken killing of Liu Kun and were destroyed by the Jie tribe.
"This is the Qifu tribe..."
The Qifu tribe was a fusion of the Xianbei and Gaoche peoples. The Gaoche people migrated south to the Qifu Mountain in the northern desert and merged with the Xianbei people to form the Qifu tribe.
In the early period of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the Former Zhao Dynasty dominated the Central Plains, and various ethnic regimes competed for supremacy in the Central Plains. The Qifu tribe developed rapidly in Gaopingchuan (now the Qingshui River Basin in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region) and established the Qifu Kingdom.
"Tufa tribe..." The Tufa tribe of the Xianbei people established the Southern Liang Kingdom in the Hexi Corridor during the turbulent period of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China.
"This is the leader of the Tuoba tribe."
During the period of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the Tuoba tribe established the Dai Kingdom, which dominated the frontier, and the Northern Wei Dynasty, which unified the entire northern China.
"Your Highness, this is the Yuwen tribe."
During the Taikang period of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Yuwen tribe of the Xianbei people in Liaoxi rose up and repeatedly attacked the Former Yan.
In 302 AD, its leader Yuwen Mowei proclaimed himself Chanyu and established a regime, calling himself the Yuwen Kingdom, known in history as the Yuwen tribe, with Zimengchuan (now northwest of Chaoyang, Liaoning) as its capital. In 344 AD, it was destroyed by the Former Yan.
Although the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei disappeared, they did not completely disappear from the historical stage. The Yuwen tribe of Xianbei later developed into the Kumo Xi tribe during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which was called the Xi tribe after the Sui Dynasty. Another branch of the Diela tribe also developed into a tribe that had a great influence in later generations during the Southern and Northern Dynasties - the Khitan.
"This is the leader of the Murong tribe..."
During the Five Barbarians' Rebellion, the Murong Xianbei successively established the Former Yan, Later Yan, Western Yan, Northern Yan, and Southern Yan, as well as the Tuyuhun, which ruled the Qinghai region for more than 300 years...
Wang Yuyan's cousin was from the Murong clan of the Xianbei.
Liu Wu looked at the group of Xianbei people kneeling on the ground. It was really hard to connect them with the romantic and suave Murong Fu in the novel...
Looking at the leaders of the various Xianbei tribes kneeling on the ground and being respectful, Liu Wu felt mixed emotions.
In a sense, the Xianbei are to China as the Germans are to Rome.
The difference is that the Xianbei inherited the Han system, so they started the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the Germans did not absorb Roman culture, causing the whole of Europe to fall into the dark Middle Ages...
