Chapter 480: The Unrivaled Hero! [Vote Request]
"Your Majesty, I am pleased to see you."
After Ke Bineng entered the tent, he bowed with great respect and said, "My son greets my foster father."
He paid homage twice, calling himself "subject" and "son" respectively, to show that he would be loyal to Cao Cao both in public and in private.
This is a very important moment in his life.
It was impossible for Cao Cao to kill everyone in the vast grassland. He had to keep some people to herd horses and sheep and take charge of the area.
Kebi Neng came from an ordinary Xianbei tribe.
But when he was less than 20 years old, he had already established a strong prestige among the surrounding tribes. He was truly a rare genius among the Xianbei.
After he developed some power, he weighed all parties and took the initiative to contact Cao Cao, including the Eastern and Western Xianbei.
He realized that it would be difficult to grow stronger in the Central Xianbei, so he led his own forces to unite with the Western Xianbei, and quickly gained a foothold in the Western Xianbei, becoming one of the most important tribal leaders.
When Cao Cao defeated the Western Xianbei, he ran around everywhere and became an important figure connecting the various Xianbei factions.
Historically, Kebi Neng was the second person to unify the Xianbei after Tan Shihuai.
As their troops grew stronger, they began to harm Han territory and plunder on a large scale.
Under his rule, the Xianbei always maintained its prosperity.
It was not until his later years that he was assassinated by Han Long, an assassin sent by Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou of Cao Wei.
At this time, Ke Bineng knelt in front of Cao Cao, with a look of awe, and said:
"I have been running around for more than half a year, contacting various tribes on the grassland and convincing them to join the Wei Dynasty."
"I am willing to defend the grasslands for the Great Wei, wait for the emperor's orders, fight to expand the borders, defend the land and guard the borders, and I will obey you without hesitation."
The grassland was originally a political system composed of various tribes.
The overthrow of the Xianbei and the replacement of a grassland tribe in power actually had little impact on other tribes scattered around the place.
Kebi Neng started his business very early. Cao Cao dealt a heavy blow to the Eastern and Western Xianbei, and then defeated the eight kingships of the Central Xianbei. During this period, Kebi Neng had been absorbing some grassland tribes in the middle faction to strengthen himself.
The remaining forces of the Eastern and Western Xianbei were also annexed by him.
Therefore, once Cao Wei defeated the Central Xianbei, Kebi would be able to quickly suppress all parties and take control of the situation of the remaining tribes.
Therefore, he believed that he was the best candidate and that as long as he showed enough loyalty, he could become Cao Cao's agent to control the grassland.
Apart from him, there is indeed no one else who is more suitable to be the ruler of the grassland.
Kebineng then reported in detail how many tribes there were on the grassland, their approximate population, the military strength of each party, the areas they ruled, etc.
"well done."
Cao Cao stood up and walked out of the tent.
Ke Bineng, Xu Zhe and others followed behind.
Outside the big tent.
Looking down from the high ground, you can see endless fertile land stretching as far as the eye can see.
A little further down the hill was the battlefield where the two armies had previously fought.
The scene on the battlefield at this moment made Ke Bineng feel frightened.
When he arrived just now, he saw that a huge deep pit had been dug by Cao's army on the battlefield!
Recently, the killed Xianbei people were thrown into a pit, then firewood was added, burned, and finally covered with a layer of soil.
After filling one deep pit, dig another one next to it.
Thinking that those who died were all elite Xianbei soldiers and that those were mass graves, Kebineng's palpitations became more and more intense.
The Xianbei were badly damaged this time. Without Cao Cao's support, they could never control the grassland again.
"The bodies in the pit can never be filled. There are still too few."
Cao Cao looked at the burial pit in the distance with an expressionless face.
Ke Bineng immediately knelt down again and said: "I am willing to lead the army to fight and kill all the remnants of the Wangzhang tribe who are against the Wei Dynasty."
Cao Cao lowered his head and looked at Ke Bineng.
[Kebi Neng, Xianbei, leader of the Xianbei during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period]
[He is concentrating on practicing the art of shaman totem, and is ambitious, trying to take charge of the Xianbei and lead the tribe to prosperity]
[He has extraordinary talent. With or without your support, he will become the leader of Xianbei. You can kill him or keep him.]
The introduction to Kebineng is quite detailed, which shows that he is a person of important historical significance.
He was the most important historical promoter during this period of the Xianbei.
"There is a saying that goes, those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
Cao Cao: "Ke Bineng, I know exactly what you are thinking!"
Ke Bineng was slightly startled, his thoughts raced, and then he regained his composure.
In a sense, he is irreplaceable. If Cao Cao wants the grassland, he must use him.
There won't be another person more suitable:
"I am willing to serve you with all my strength..."
Before Ke Bineng finished expressing his loyalty, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Xu Chu reached out from behind, pressed on his neck, and then crossed his hands.
There was a click.
Ke Bineng's cervical vertebra was broken and his breathing stopped.
The expression of fear and confusion on his face froze.
In his opinion, the relationship between him and Cao Cao, at least for the time being, was one in which both sides gained what they needed and there was no conflict.
Cao Cao had to rely on him as an agent to control the grassland.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to quickly quell the unrest and take over the resources and power on the grassland for one's own use.
In this case, he is the perfect choice.
If Cao Cao kills him now, he will actually hurt one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own.
Ke Bineng thought about it over and over again and believed that he and Cao Cao had a relationship that would be stronger if they worked together, so he made a series of arrangements and ideas to recognize Cao Cao as his father.
But his painstaking arrangements came to an abrupt end and were strangled by Cao Cao!
Before this, Cao Cao had learned the method of practicing and applying the appearance of all living beings from Buddhism.
He once asked Jia Xu to select the best spies for training.
Among them, the first two people who practiced this magical power and achieved good results were a man and a woman.
The young man was Xu Zhe and the woman was Li Yin.
Xu Zhe is more talented. After practicing the art of imitating all living beings, he can imitate the voices and appearances of others very vividly.
After Ke Bineng went to Yecheng, Cao Cao asked Xu Zhe to follow him everywhere.
Ke Bineng believed that Cao Cao had sent a confidant to follow him and monitor him. This was understandable and showed that Cao Cao intended to cooperate with him for a long time.
Therefore, he was transparent and honest with Xu Zhe in order to gain Cao Cao's trust.
What he didn't know was that Xu Zhe was following him to observe him and understand him so that he could replace him without any flaws.
More than half a year has passed.
As they spent time together, Xu Zhe became familiar with Ke Bineng's living habits, relationships, character, etc. Ke Bineng couldn't understand why Cao Cao wanted to kill him, and felt that he was irreplaceable.
The truth is, he is replaceable.
Kebi Neng died, and Xu Zhe's facial features changed, and he became Kebi Neng.
Ke Bineng's loyalty is certainly not as good as Xu Zhe, the confidant cultivated by Cao Wei.
What's more, Xu Zhe wanted to change Kebineng's appearance, so he needed Cao Cao to promote his reputation and fortune and bless him.
If Cao Cao takes away Xu Zhe's luck, he will be exposed soon.
With these two weak points in hand, Xu Zhe is the infallible candidate who will never betray.
Cao Cao was able to control the Xianbei by using the interrogation beads, which allowed them to consult him at any time when they were undecided.
Replacing Kebineng with Xu Zhe, with the support of Cao Wei and eliminating some dissidents, will be a seamless success.
Considering the future generations, Cao Cao could not allow Ke Bineng, a man with hidden ambitions and who was always trying to gain leverage, to become a threat.
Eliminating the Five Barbarians who brought disaster to future generations was one of Cao Cao's most important missions.
Most of the work has been done now.
When Xu Zhe came in just now, he nodded to Cao Cao, which meant that he was confident that he could impersonate Ke Bineng without any flaws.
In the following days, information from all sides continued to be compiled.
Then "Kebineng" came forward and became the agent recognized by Cao Wei, and began to take over various parties on the grassland.
On the grassland, the forces opposing Cao Wei will be further eliminated.
The people of the middle faction were controlled by Xu Zhe and used by Cao Wei.
Later, Cao Cao would dilute and relocate the population, destroy its cultural and historical heritage, and gradually complete the control of the grassland.
Yecheng.
in the afternoon.
Xun Yu couldn't help but stand up in his own board room, and waved his fist vigorously, his joy beyond words.
He had known for a few days that Cao's army had defeated the Xianbei and was taking over the grassland.
But the situation was not yet completely stable.
Until just now, Cao Cao personally sent him a message through the communication bead:
"Wen Ruo, we have achieved another goal that we set together. The overall situation has been determined, and we will take over Wanli!"
Cao Cao's personal message meant that Wei had actually taken control of the situation.
To annex the grasslands and defeat the northern nomadic peoples, the old enemy, a dream that no one had been able to achieve for hundreds of years during the Qin and Han dynasties, was now within reach.
No, it has become a reality.
Leaving a name in history is not enough to describe the achievements of Cao Cao and even the officials of the Wei Dynasty.
Xun Yu will also go down in history as a wise and capable minister who founded a unified dynasty.
Cao Cao's historical status will be comparable to that of Emperor Wu of Han, a heroic ruler unseen in the world.
The more Xun Yu thought about it, the more excited he became.
He usually maintained his dignity in front of his subordinates, but at this moment he was so emotional that he couldn't help but celebrate secretly.
Cheng Yu, who was also staying in Yecheng, walked in and unexpectedly saw the usually steady Xun Yu dancing in the house a dance that was introduced from the Western Regions and had recently become very popular in Yecheng. The dance was incredibly funny and weird.
"Is the Grand Marshal ill? Do you need to summon a doctor?" Cheng Yu asked in surprise.
He has known Xun Yu for many years, but this is the first time he has seen him so abnormal, secretly dancing in the house. What kind of habit is this?
"Why did you come in without permission?"
Xun Yu coughed lightly, and instantly returned to normal, standing with his hands behind his back: "I'm a little tired from handling official business, I'll move around."
"..."
Cheng Yu blinked.
Xun Yu said: "Our army has defeated the Xianbei and announced to the world that we will hold a ceremony of Fengshan at Mount Tai. How are the preparations going?"
"..."
Cheng Yu: "This is not my responsibility."
However, when talking about the great victory of Xianbei, Cheng Yu also became excited:
“It has just been notified to various state capitals.
Soon, everyone in the world will know that the Xianbei have been defeated, and the vast northern pass will become the land of our Shenzhou!"
"Wenruo, how about we have a drink together tonight?" Cheng Yu changed his tone into a private one.
"Right on my mind."
Xun Yu: "Zhongde, ten years ago, when we were in Yanzhou, did you think we would be in this situation?"
Cheng Yu said calmly: "At that time, the whole country was in chaos, with Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao in the south, Yuan Shu and other factions rising up, and Yanzhou was surrounded by four warring states.
My greatest wish is to bring the thirteen states under my rule."
"I never thought that since then, Your Majesty has never made a wrong step, always taking the lead, gathering us together, and pacifying the chaos in the world in ten years. Thinking about it now, I still find it hard to believe."
Xun Yu nodded slightly, and the scenes of the past ten years flashed before his eyes like a fleeting glimpse.
"This time the Xianbei were defeated, and the grasslands belonged to the Wei Dynasty. Throughout the past thousand years, there has never been such a prosperous time."
Cheng Yu asked: "Do you have any other wishes?"
"desire?"
Xun Yu thought about it seriously:
"When the world is more stable, I hope Your Majesty can give me a few days off. I want to go out of Yecheng for a walk. I haven't been out of the city for seven or eight years."
What a simple wish.
Cheng Yu laughed: "Last time the Yellow River flooded, didn't you go out once? Inspect the water conservancy along the coast."
"How can that be counted?"
Xun Yu also started laughing, until he was laughing so hard that he was almost crazy.
That was the result of ten years of hard work. I never dared to slack off and put all my energy into it. It was only at this moment that I could truly relax and release some emotions.
"Your Majesty is not yet in his prime, and he still has ambitions. Next, we will see how far our Great Wei can go."
The Xianbei king's tent.
To be precise, it was the royal tent of the Wei Dynasty.
In mid-October, a personal soldier walked into the tent and said, "Your Majesty, all parties are ready, and we can begin."
Cao Cao stood up happily.
To defeat the Xianbei, a priestly ceremony was required.
It has the same meaning as the historical event of Fenglangjuxu, which was to offer sacrifices to heaven and annex the land to become Wei territory.
After that, the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai was a great sacrifice for the country's destiny, while now it means conferring honors and accepting land, both of which are grand events.
