Chapter 348 – Hunting for He Xing
Budugen, the current young leader of Xianbei Tribe, was overseeing 15,000 men of Gongsun Du Army.
The Xianbei Tribe was one of many tribes among the northern lands beyond the Great Wall of China. Unlike the aggressive Xiongnu Tribe, Xianbei under Budugen was less aggressive.
In history, after Cao Cao defeated the Wuhuan Tribe along with Yuan Shao's sons in the year 207, Budugen sent tributes and formed a peace treaty with the future Wei Empire. As a result, his Xianbei Tribe maintained a peaceful relationship with the northern warlord.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the northern tribes was similar to the relationship between the warlords of China. Tribal chieftains also struggled for the supremacy over the other tribes for resources.
In 224, Budugen formed an alliance with Cao Pi to eliminate his rival, Kebineng.
