Northeast History (4): Why are there no Wuhuan people running out of the northeast now?

As an indigenous people in the northeast, the Donghu people were very cattle when they were strong, but after being defeated by the Xiongnu, most of them became slaves of the Xiongnu. There was oppression and resistance, and some of the Donghu began to flee, and one of them ran to today's Wuhuan Mountain, gradually developing into the Wuhuan tribe. So, why is there no Wuhuan tribe running out of the northeast now?

The Wuhuan people

After Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu, the alliance collapsed, most of them became slaves of the Xiongnu, and a small number of people began to flee. Some of the people who escaped came to Wuhuan Mountain. Where is Wuhuan Mountain? North of the Arukorqin Banner in present-day Inner Mongolia, at the southern end of the Daxing'anling Mountains. Fearing that the Huns would know their true identity, this part was renamed the Wuhuan Clan in the name of Wuhuan Mountain, no longer called the Donghu Clan, and was active on both sides of the present-day Silamulun River and in the southwest of the Gui Larry River.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Wuhuan people know that the Han and the Xiongnu often fight, so they naturally have a sense of closeness and often help the Han Dynasty to do things. In 119 BC, the Han army broke the Xiongnu and expelled the Xiongnu from the south of the country. In this battle, the Wuhuan clan helped a lot, and it can be regarded as revenge for the ancestor Donghu. After that, the Wuhuan clan was listed on the table, subject to the Han Dynasty, and moved south to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong five counties, stationed outside the pastor, and acted as the Xiongnu of the Northern Han Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuhuan moved south from the five counties of Saiwai to the ten counties of Liaodong, Yuyang and Shuofang in Sainei, that is, in the lower reaches of the present-day Liaohe River, the northern part of Hebei in Shanxi, and the Hetao in Inner Mongolia. Wuhuan moved south twice during the two Han Dynasties, and gradually developed and grew. In order to facilitate contact with the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty also established the Wuhuan Lieutenant to administer the Wuhuan people.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuhuan gradually became a unified tribe, and the name of shan Yuton in the last era was known to many people familiar with the history of the "Three Kingdoms".

During the early Ping dynasty of Emperor Xian of Han, Jiandun took the throne and became the Wuhuan tribe of Wuhuan Shan Yu, who led the three counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu. He was brave and wise and was deeply supported and convinced by the clan. However, in the chaotic era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jian Dun looked away and stood in the wrong line.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, China became a pot of porridge, and the warlords were constantly fighting and wanted to expand their territory. In the north, Yuan Shao, a pastor from Jizhou, who was headquartered in Hebei, and Gongsun Zhan, a former general headquartered in Liaoning, were constantly at loggerheads. In the case of their dispute, Wu Huan was very important, because he was on the north side of Gongsun Zhan, and once he joined forces with Yuan Shao, he would form a two-sided attack on Gongsun Zhan and would undoubtedly be defeated.

Yuan Shao adopted a policy of peace and affinity, marrying the daughter of the Emperor to Wuhuan Shan Yu Yu Dun. In the end, Wuhuan and Yuan Shao joined forces to defeat Gongsun Zhan, so Yuan Shao pretended to be in the name of the imperial court and rewarded Wuhuan leaders such as Jian Dun.

As a descendant of the Donghu people, Heton walked a road to black. At the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao died shortly after his defeat at Cao Cao, and Jian Dun continued to support Yuan. Later, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan and his youngest son Yuan Shang fought each other for the right to inherit, and Cao Cao profited from it. Soon, Yuan Tan was killed while fighting Cao Cao, and Yuan Shang defected to Yuan Xi, the second brother of Youzhou. The Yuan brothers were attacked by another military in Youzhou, and fled north to Wuhuan for help, hoping to use Wuhuan's strength to restore the Central Plains."

At this time, Wu Huan was very powerful under the leadership of Jian Dun. In particular, after the arrival of the Yuan brothers and a large number of followers, Jian Dun was able to command the Wuhuan and Han populations of more than 300,000 people, and the history said that Jian Dun was "a man of a hundred barbarians". He was also ambitious, trying to emulate the Xiongnu Andun Shan Yu and Xianbei Sandalwood to establish hegemony among the nomadic tribes in the north.

There must be a reason for fighting a war, and under the pretext of reclaiming yuan shang's old land, He dun attacked the border several times and robbed 100,000 households of the people of Youzhou. In the tenth year of Jian'an (205), Jiandun led the three counties of Wuhuan to attack Cao Wei Xianyufu. To this end, Cao Cao was determined to go on an expedition to Guandun to eliminate the troubles in order to unify the north.

Cao Cao stills

As the leader of the Wuhuan clan of donghu descendants, Jian Dun's heart and eyes were very solid, and he could not play the treacherous Cao Cao at all.

In May 207, Cao Cao led a large army to attack Wuhuan Province, arrived in present-day Jixian County, Tianjin, and prepared to leave the coastal road and cross the Jieshi to attack Liucheng in Wuhuan. It was just in the summer, heavy rains were not stopping, the coastal area was muddy and difficult to travel, and the Wuhuan people were still sending troops to guard the main traffic routes, and the Cao army was hindered from advancing. Therefore, Cao Cao decided to withdraw his troops, leaving a large wooden sign on the side of the road by the water, which read: "Now the summer is hot, the road is impassable, and wait until autumn and winter, and then send troops to fight." "After the Reconnaissance Cavalry of the Wuhuan People saw it, they really thought that the Cao Army had left.

Cao Cao had a lot of heart and eyes, and taking advantage of the Factual Tribe's relaxation of vigilance, he ordered the general Tian Yu to lead his men as guides, from another road, Xu Wushan, chiseling mountains and filling valleys, marching more than 500 miles, passing through Baitan and Pinggang, and then through the royal court of the Xianbei tribe, and pointing east to Liucheng. When the distance was more than two hundred miles, Wu Huan knew. Cao Cao's generals were like clouds, and Zhang Liao was one of them, and at the critical moment, Cao Cao appointed the general Zhang Liao as the vanguard, taking advantage of the change in the formation of the Wuhuan army to launch a fierce attack. Wu Huan was suddenly attacked, the situation was chaotic, Wu Huan Shan Yu Jian Dun himself was also killed by Zhang Liao, and the Wu Huan soldiers were killed all over the field.

After this battle, the Wuhuan clan was seriously injured. Cao Cao also moved Wuhuan's important strategic materials and elite soldiers to the Central Plains, fought with the army, and was gradually assimilated by the Han people. The Wuhuan people who remained in their homeland were soon occupied by the rising Xianbei tribe, and the Wuhuan as a nation did not exist, which is the main reason why we can't see the Wuhuan tribe today. The Wuhuan clan, we can't see it today, and the Xianbei clan, which is also a descendant of Donghu, why can't we see it today?
