In the spring of 49 A.D., the Tibetan people from outside the Liaodong frontier (an ancient ethnic group in northeastern China and northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula, also known as Tibetans) suddenly invaded the border, disturbing the tranquility of the frontier. However, he used his wisdom and strategy to successfully recruit these invaders and defuse a border crisis.
Sai Wei's gaze did not stop because of this, and he turned his gaze to Xianbei's Dadu Protector. He used financial gain as a lure and grace as a soothing thing, skillfully won the submission of Bian He, and suggested that Bian He attack the Xiongnu in order to further consolidate the alliance with the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He was moved by the sincerity and words of the sacrifice, and he resolutely led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the Xiongnu. In the battle, they beheaded more than 2,000 people and sent the heads of the Xiongnu to the county capital to prove their loyalty and strength.
Since then, he and others have been at war with the Xiongnu every year, and each time they will send the head of the Xiongnu and accept the reward of the Eastern Han court.
Under the careful planning and wisdom guidance of the priests, Xianbei and Wuhuan also paid tribute to the Eastern Han Dynasty, expressing their submission and respect for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At the same time, the conflict between the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu intensified. Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu decisively sent his younger brother Zuo Xian Wang Mo to lead more than 10,000 elite cavalry to attack Bei Dan Yu's younger brother Xue Zuo Xian Wang.
In this fierce confrontation, the Southern Xiongnu army successfully captured the king of Xuqi Zuoxian alive and achieved a brilliant victory.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and it plunged the Northern Xiongnu into shock and fear. They had to choose to retreat and give up more than a thousand miles of territory.
Seeing the strong strength and irreversible situation of the Southern Xiongnu, they finally decided to lead more than 30,000 people to submit to the Southern Xiongnu after careful consideration.
This move undoubtedly further weakened the overall strength of the Xiongnu, and at the same time brought more troops and resources to the Southern Xiongnu.
At the same time, Ma Yuan was ordered to go to Wulingman. However, due to the harsh geographical environment and climate, coupled with the epidemic of epidemics in the army, Ma Yuan's army was in a difficult situation. Despite this, he persisted in fighting until the last moment of his life.
However, it is regrettable that Ma Yuan's death did not make his glory peaceful, but caused a storm.
The root of this turmoil lies in the grudge between Ma Yuan and Liang Song, the general of the Tiger Ben. Liang Song was the son-in-law of Emperor Guangwu and had a prominent status, but his relationship with Ma Yuan was not harmonious.
Before Ma Yuan's death, the two had conflicts and estrangements because of various things. And when Ma Yuan died suddenly, Liang Song took the opportunity to slander Emperor Guangwu and frame Ma Yuan for his crimes in the war.
Liu Xiu listened to Liang Song's slander in anger, and angrily withdrew Ma Yuan's new Hou Yin ribbon. Ma Yuan's family was shocked by the emperor's wrath, and they did not know what crime Ma Yuan had committed, and their hearts were full of panic and uneasiness.
After Ma Yuan's body was brought back, they did not dare to bury it in the original cemetery, so they had to buy a few acres of land in the west of the city and bury it in a hurry. Ma Yuan's relatives and friends did not dare to come to mourn, and the whole funeral looked extremely bleak.
In this year, Hao Dan, the leader of the Wuhuan tribe, and others led his tribe to submit to the Han Dynasty. As a token of appreciation, Liu Xiute issued an edict conferring on 81 Qushuai marquises, princes and monarchs.
The Wuhuan leaders who were awarded the title were able to settle down in the border areas and were distributed in the border counties. The Han Dynasty promised them food and clothing, and gave them the responsibility of recruiting their own clansmen, and at the same time incorporated them into the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty to jointly resist the invasion of the Xiongnu and Xianbei.
However, at that time, there was a Situ Peng (official name) named Ban Biao who had a different view of Wuhuan's subordination. He wrote to Liu Xiu, warning the Wuhuan people that they are cunning by nature and prone to plundering, and if they are not properly managed, they may once again harass the people.
To this end, Ban Biao proposed to re-establish the post of captain of Wuhuan in order to more effectively manage the clan and maintain the security of the frontier. After careful consideration, Liu Xiu adopted Ban Biao's suggestion.
Subsequently, the school captain's office was rebuilt in the city of Shanggu Ningcheng and a military camp was set up. This agency is not only responsible for Wuhuan affairs, but also involved in the reward, hostage acceptance, and annual transactions of Xianbei.
