Chapter 1147 Letter From Youzhou

After Liu Yan finished writing the letter, he ordered the guards to deliver the letter to Kebineng's tent on the grassland.

Bai Feng, Liuli and the other four stayed in Liu Yan's house, waiting for Kebineng's reply.

On the grassland.

Kebineng was taking his people hunting.

The harvest was not great for the whole day, with the most being hares.

When he returned to the tent at night, Kebineng saw the guards of the prefectural governor's mansion who had been waiting.

"Khan, a letter from the governor of Youzhou to you!"

The guards of the prefectural governor's mansion personally handed the letter to Kebineng.

Kebineng reached out to take the letter, opened it and read it carefully.

After a while, Kebineng said to the guards of the prefectural governor's mansion who came to deliver the letter:

"You rest on the grassland for one night, and I will reply to the governor tomorrow."

The guards of the prefectural governor's mansion were taken to rest by the servants in the tent.

Kebineng then called the tribal leaders who had not gone out to the tent.

"This is the letter sent by the governor of Youzhou today. Everyone, take a look."

When the tribal leaders came to the big tent, Kebi Neng circulated Liu Yan's letter to the tribal leaders.

A quarter of an hour later, the letter passed through the hands of more than ten tribal leaders in the big tent and returned to Kebi Neng again.

"What do you think? Everyone, please say it!"

Kebi Neng said to all the tribal leaders in the big tent.

"Khan, the trade mentioned in the letter of the governor of Youzhou is of great help to us now!"

A tall tribal leader with curly hair said first.

Then other tribal leaders also spoke out, but some were in favor of the trade and some were against it.

"Khan, the grassland is dry now. If we don't trade with Youzhou, this winter will be hard to endure!"

"But the governor of Youzhou wants our children to be taken hostages in Youzhou. The Great Wei wants us to surrender!"

"Yes, the Emperor of Wei's intentions are too obvious!"

"If we refuse to trade with Youzhou, how should we spend this winter?"

"Go fight Budugen or Suli and steal their cattle and sheep!"

"The letter says that the envoy this time is Bai Feng, the Marquis of Hanzhong!"

"If we don't agree to trade with Youzhou, the Marquis of Hanzhong may send troops to attack us!"

The tribal leaders expressed their opinions in unison.

Kebi Neng listened to their opinions and observed their expressions.

It was not until a tribal leader mentioned Bai Feng, the Marquis of Hanzhong, that the other tribal leaders quieted down.

Then all the tribal leaders looked at Kebi Neng at the same time.

"Trading with Youzhou is really disadvantageous to us in the long run."

"The Great Wei wants to completely control us Xianbei, otherwise it would not have proposed to trade with us at the critical moment of the drought in the grassland."

"As for the fact that Hanzhong Hou Bai Feng came personally as an envoy, it shows that the Great Wei is still very sincere in wanting to trade with us."

"Otherwise, it would be Bai Feng and 120,000 Youzhou cavalry."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Kebi Neng expressed his opinion.

Regarding whether to agree to trade with Youzhou in the end, although Kebi Neng did not express his decision on the spot.

However, Kebi Neng's words still tended to trade with Youzhou. The key is that Bai Feng will come to the grassland in person to preside over the trade.

The name of Hanzhong Hou Bai Feng is also known to everyone on the entire grassland.

Kebi Neng had to consider the consequences of offending Bai Feng.

After listening to Kebi Neng's words, the tribal leaders who were originally inclined to oppose the trade with Youzhou did not speak again for a while.

"No matter what, I have to talk to Bai Feng in person."

"Besides, we are not the only ones on this grassland. If Budugen and Suli agree to trade with Youzhou."

"Then we must also trade with Youzhou."

After Kebi Neng finished speaking this time, all the tribal leaders nodded in approval, regardless of whether they supported the trade with Youzhou or not.

In Kebi Neng's view, trading with Youzhou to solve the problem of drought and food shortage in the grassland is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst.

All the tribal leaders who have read Liu Yan's letter know what the Emperor of Wei is thinking behind the request for trade.

Cao Cao will naturally not hide the Xianbei tribe.

And Cao Cao sent two signals to the Xianbei people very clearly through the trade.

Accept the trade and become a part of the Great Wei, then life will be guaranteed.

Not accepting the trade is no problem now, but after the Great Wei recovers its population, it will be a matter of time.

What seemed to be in front of Kebi Neng was the question of whether to trade or not, but in fact it was the question of the future of the Xianbei people.

"Regarding the issue of trade, we will have a conclusion after I meet with Hanzhong Hou Bai Feng."

Kebi Neng saw that no tribal leader expressed his opinion again, and after he finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the tribal leaders in the big tent to do what they should do.

The tribal leaders who left Kebi Neng's big tent all looked thoughtful.

Whether there is trade or not, the sky on the grassland will change

After all the tribal leaders left the big tent, Kebi Neng rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes to meditate.

Kebi Neng, who has been constantly learning the culture of the Central Plains, knew that this was Cao Cao's conspiracy.

And it was Hanzhong Hou Bai Feng who handled the trade.

"Alas"

Kebi Neng sighed lightly.

This year, there was a severe drought in the grassland. I didn't expect that the emperor of Wei would seize this opportunity to attack the Xianbei.

However, Kebi Neng would not have thought that this trade strategy was proposed to Cao Cao by Bai Feng, who was about to come to the grassland.

If Kebi Neng knew about this, he would probably no longer have any hope that the Xianbei people would unify the grassland again.

Kebi Neng, Budugen and Suli, the leaders of the three major Xianbei tribes.

All want to unify the grassland again.

But after the trade was proposed, the Wei Dynasty would inevitably interfere more deeply in the affairs of the grassland.

This is exactly what Kebi Neng did not want to see the most.

Originally, this drought was a disaster for all the Xianbei tribes on the grassland.

But in Kebi Neng's view, this is also his opportunity to unify the grassland.

After learning the Central Plains military strategy, Kebi Neng believed that the Xianbei cavalry under his command would be stronger than Budugen and Suli.

This has also been verified in several battles.

Otherwise, the Kebi Neng tribe would not have become the strongest among the three major tribes on the grassland because of its largest population.

Therefore, Kebi Neng originally planned to launch another attack on Budugen and Suli when the drought reached its peak.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor come in danger, and this drought is the opportunity given by Changshengtian to unify the grassland.

However, this opportunity has become out of reach again with Bai Feng's participation.

Thinking of this, Kebi Neng's eyebrows have been wrinkled into the shape of the word "chuan".
