The territory of the Rouran tribal alliance is probably Outer Mongolia and part of Russia in later generations, and their ethnic composition is very mixed, and the headquarters of the supreme ruling tribe Yujiulu clan is actually a branch of the Xianbei tribe.
The population of the Yujiulu clan headquarters does not account for the majority of the Rouran tribal alliance, and the most populous is actually the Zahu who has not formed a unified nation, and then there are Ding Ling people.
It is unclear what the total population of this tribal alliance was, but during the war, it was the Khan of Rouran who gave orders to the tribal chiefs, who summoned the herdsmen to assemble at the designated places.
The current Rouran Khan's name is Bati, and he is the son of the Tunu puppet.
The Tunu puppet died in 344 AD, and was succeeded by Bati after the death of the Tunu puppet.
In the autumn of 445 A.D., he recruited 100,000 troops to go south from the Wolf Juxu Mountain of the Rouran people of the Tianshan Mountains, but he suddenly returned halfway through the march, and it turned out that the Donggaocha from the north suddenly invaded, forcing him to return to the army to fight.
The news of the Rouran Tribal Alliance's war with the Donggaoche Tribal Alliance on the grassland is not taken seriously, and for other countries, the Rouran Tribal Alliance is an outsider, and many times no one will remember the existence of such a force.
The Eastern Gaoche Tribal Alliance was defeated by the Rouran Tribal Alliance, but the Eastern Gaoche Tribal Alliance did not seem to give up and continue to go south, resulting in the failure of Bati's intention to go south, but because of this, there was no conflict with Tuoba Daiguo and Murong Yan Kingdom.
The further north you go, the colder the climate becomes, and it is precisely because of the climate that the Donggaoche Tribal Alliance is moving south one after another.
The grassland white plague is fatal to any tribe, and the climate factor makes the Rouran Tribal Alliance only capture and capture even if it defeats the Donggaoche Tribal Alliance repeatedly, and it is impossible to take a closer step to seize the grassland of the Donggaoche Tribal Alliance.
The normalization of war is a very cost-effective consumption for the Rouran Tribal Alliance, and the cold snap has been pushing southward, not only in the territory of the Donggaoche Tribal Alliance, but also in the territory of the Rouran Tribal Alliance.
Murong Hao sent an envoy to the countries of Wolf Mountain to call Wolf Juxu Mountain, and invited the Rouran Tribal Alliance to join the alliance to conquer the Han State.
Bati wanted to go south, but he felt that the Hu people who didn't want to go south would not be able to get on the stage, and there was a need to migrate when the climate became colder, but he didn't think about crossing the border to fight the Han Kingdom.
For the Rouran Tribal Alliance, not many people have heard of the Han country, what they know is the surrounding West Gaoche, East Gaoche, Tuoba Dynasty, Murong Yan Kingdom, Zhang's Liang Kingdom, and the Central Plains is a legend.
And the legendary Central Plains was not occupied by a slave clan who turned out to be the Huns Suddenly, someone came to popularize knowledge, and Bati gave a good hospitality, and under the deliberate rendering of Yan Envoy Yangyu, Bati gradually understood the situation in the south of Rouran.
The death of the Zhao State of the Qiang tribe did not touch Bati much, and in his understanding, the Shi clan of the Qiang nationality only took shit luck to rise, and the nouveau riche like the Qiang tribe changed from a slave race to a hegemon, and then from the hegemony to the decline There is no reason at all.
What touched Bati the most was that Murong Yanguo, who was very powerful in his eyes, actually regarded the suddenly rising Han State as a great enemy, and it seemed that Murong Yanguo was still a little afraid of that Han State, which surprised him and confused at the same time.
Murong Yanguo gives people the impression that it is quite strong, especially for the Xianbei tribes, the full name of Bati is Yu Jiu Lu Bati, Yu Jiu Lu is another department of Xianbei, which means that Rouran Khan is now Yu Jiu Lu, you can not know how many powerful countries there are in the world, but you must admit that Murong Yan is strong.
In fact, Murong Yanguo is really powerful, which is based on a series of iron-clad facts such as Murong Xianbei destroying Yuwen Xianbei, completely destroying Duan's Xianbei, and scurrying around Tuoba Xianbei like a dog.
Yuwen Xianbei and Duan's Xianbei were not weak in the past, and Tuoba Xianbei was also considered strong, and it would definitely not be difficult for any of them to bully Yu Jiulu Xianbei in the past, but now they are extinguished, crippled, and hidden.
Murong Yanguo, who can "punch the Nanshan Nursing Home and kick the Beihai Kindergarten", would be afraid of another country that has been founded for five years, which is really incomprehensible to Bati.
Of course, the Han State is too far away from the Rouran Tribal Alliance, and there is still a Tuoba Dynasty State in the middle, Bati doesn't care whether the Han State is really strong or not, he agreed to participate in the Han Alliance for only one reason, is to take this opportunity to swagger south, find out what kind of mountains and rivers the south is, and see what kind of strength the Tuoba Dynasty is.
The nations agreed to set the location of the alliance at the former site of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and Bati readily agreed to be the host.
In his understanding, all countries should know that Rouran is strong, so they will choose Tianshan as the location of the alliance, so as the host, can he be regarded as the leader of the alliance this time How to say that the tribal alliance of Rouran is a nomadic people, but for the Huns and Xianbei steppe Hu people, they should be completely uncivilized.
There is such an event in history, that is, the Tuoba clan developed after a series of tribulations, and the Tuoba clan established the Wei State and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran have been in a long-term relationship of military friction.
Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao thought that Rouran had low intelligence, and that he only relied on force to fight, without strategy, and that he had more defeats and fewer victories, so he ridiculed them as insects who couldn't think, and ordered the military and civilians across the country to change the name of Rouran to "worms" for insulting insults.
Whether or not they have accepted the knowledge of Han civilization is probably the basis for judging whether the Hu people are civilized or not, and it is usually the Hu people who have accepted the knowledge of the Han civilization that will look down on other Hu people, and I have to say that discrimination is everywhere.
Of course, Bati didn't know what he or the Rouran tribal alliance was like in the eyes of the rest of the forces that were also Hu people, he was the first to welcome Tuoba Shiyijian, the king of the Tuoba Dynasty, with great enthusiasm, and the second king to arrive was Zhang Chonghua of the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family, and Murong Hao was replaced by the crown prince Murong Jun because of his serious illness.
The kings came to the territory of the Rouran tribal alliance, Zhang Chonghua with infantry, cavalry, retinue, and maids had more than 20,000 people, Fu Hong also brought 20,000 people, the most exaggerated thing is that Tuoba Shiyijian brought 50,000 cavalry, but Murong Jun only brought 5,000 cavalry.
However, among the cavalry brought by Murong Jun were two thousand mink leopard cavalry.
If you are a king with a slightly more normal brain or is not ignorant, in the face of other countries' forces entering the country with troops, you will definitely not allow more than a few of them, but Bati is completely fine.
It cannot be said that Bati is ignorant, but that his cognition is the "nature" of nomads, as long as they do not come to fight for pastures and do not attack the tribes along the way, they will not have too obvious territorial ideas.
After all the people who should have come came, Bati did not hold an alliance at the first time, he also deliberately separated the three forces, and ordered the leaders with smarter brains to contact the three kings more often to understand what the situation of each country is now, and pay more attention to the intelligence collection of the Tuoba Dynasty.
Huimeng was that Murong Jun felt impatient, and Bati arranged the venue.
Murong Jun is the crown prince of Murong Yan Kingdom, when Murong Hao was seriously ill, he really didn't want to stay outside for too long, what he wanted was to get things done quickly and return to Dragon City as quickly as possible, but Murong Hao died when others were not in Dragon City, so it is still unknown whether the throne of King Yan will be seated by him.
It is very interesting that Batirang arranged the site of the alliance, and he made people go to great lengths to get twelve golden men to stand at the location of the alliance, but the Rouran tribal alliance did not have smelting technology, and even if there was not enough copper, in the end, twelve giant statues carved from wood were placed in a nondescript manner.
The Tianshan Mountains of the Rouran Tribal Alliance used to be the wolf Juxu Mountain of the Huns, and the Huns used to worship their ancestors here, until Huo Quai's thousands of miles away from the twelve golden people used by the Huns, there are twelve giant statues made of copper erected here all the year round, which is a very meaningful symbol.
If the Hu people recognize that one ethnic group, even if they are unwilling, they will recognize in their hearts that the former Xiongnu are the most qualified to be worshipped, and the more uncivilized the Hu population, the more they recognize the Xiongnu, so that when Bati receives visitors, he wants to imitate the Xiongnu.
Zhang Chonghua was very unaccustomed to the climate and environment here, and said that the good King Huimeng came to a Prince Murong, and he felt that he was underestimated and regretted how to come in person.
The endless grass, so blue that it makes people feel pure sky, you will feel very comfortable when you first arrive, and you will be dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
Not to mention, the longer Zhang Chonghua stayed, he really felt that he fainted more times, and even occasionally felt that his breathing was a little unsmooth.
He didn't know that this was a kind of altitude sickness, but he subconsciously didn't want to stay longer, and he had already decided to leave the important ministers to replace the alliance, but he was notified that the alliance would be held.
In addition to the twelve wooden statues of giants, Bati also made a wheeling platform, and also brought colorful fabrics, and made ribbons around the wheeling platform.
He still asked the shaman, and learned from the shaman's mouth that the former Huns did this, so they drew gourds in the same way.
"Flowers and green, miscellaneous and crumbling" Zhang Chonghua saw such a scene from a distance, and lifted his forehead: "The widow feels even more dizzy." ” The area of the platform is not small, and the surrounding area is crowded with people, and there are some girls singing and dancing around the campfire, and the bonfire is roasting cows or sheep, and the noise is very uncomfortable to the ears just by sounding.

"Your Majesty, bear with me."
Zhang Wei actually felt out of place after arriving here: "On the first day, you can be replaced by a minister." ” Zhang Yi was Zhang Chonghua's favorite courtier, and Jincheng, the most important town in the east, appointed Zhang Yi as the Taishou.
This time, Zhang Chonghua participated in the alliance and designated Zhang Yi to lead the army to support him.
Zhang's Liangguo is a descendant of the Han family, from ideology to culture, and then talking about life customs, it can be said that it is really different from the Hu people.
They are such a group of people in the old site of Wolf Juxu Mountain, which is that everyone else wears fur, but they are cloth, they are tied with their hair and crowned, and others are clothed, as long as they are not blind, they can see the absolute difference.
And it seems that after the arrival of Zhang's Liangguo, she enjoyed more "preferential treatment" than Murong Yanguo, Tuoba Daiguo, and Fu Hongdi, not anything else, it was the Rouran girl who found that sleeping with the people of Zhang's Liangguo could get some rare things, which caused the Rouran girl to have unimaginable enthusiasm for the people on Zhang's Liangguo's side, but the rest of the Rouran men didn't feel anything wrong, and even some Rouran men encouraged their daughters-in-law or daughters to drill into the tents on Zhang's Liangguo.
That's not the unrestrained people of Rouran or something, there is a custom on the grassland, that is, there will be women to sleep with after the guests come, in order for the race to have more fresh blood, but also to increase the population of non-close relatives, to put it simply, it is not caring about chastity or anything, and even whether the descendants have their own blood or not.
"The widow is almost unbearable."
Zhang Chonghua smiled bitterly: "This trip to the far away is almost a widow's life."
Zhang Yi was directly speechless, he was also very uncomfortable, okay, the rest of the people who came from Liangzhou were almost like this, and then there were soft women who were so enthusiastic that there were already people who accompanied them who died on the woman's belly, which was really laughable.
This trip to Zhang Chonghua was not completely fruitless, for example, the marriage was confirmed in the exchange with Bati, and the two sides finalized the trade of war horses.
For Zhang's Liangguo, the marriage is extremely tangled, the reason is that Rouran women have no concept of chastity, and they really don't know if they will marry a person who is as good as she can be.
In terms of war horse trade, Zhang's Liangguo will exchange cloth for it, and the first transaction volume is 20,000 war horses, which is extremely important for the current Zhang's Liangguo.
"The in-laws are coming slowly."
Bati does not speak Chinese, Zhang Chonghua does not know Altaic, and the communication between the two sides needs an interpreter.
Bati got up from his seat very enthusiastically to greet Zhang Chonghua, and said in the next sentence: "The body of the in-laws is a little worse, it's too empty", and muttered after a short pause: "Don't be unable to satisfy my sister" Zhang Chonghua, who listened to the translation, was stunned at first, and then didn't know whether to be angry or smile bitterly.
After Zhang Chonghua came over, he found that everyone except himself was already present, endured the discomfort of his body and heart, greeted them one by one with more grace, and looked around after sitting down, before he could react to what the situation was, he high-fived over there, and as soon as the applause fell, a large group of soft girls who only wore animal skin skirts around their waists rushed out.
After the Rouran girl came out, she jumped up directly in the open space on the field, her body movements had obvious charm, and from time to time she would do some poses in pairs, which simply made Zhang Chonghua want to hide her face, if he knew that the woman he wanted to marry was also jumping with her breasts exposed, she would definitely withdraw from the marriage.
However, for the Rouran Tribal Alliance, there was nothing wrong with doing such a thing:
