Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 665 Even Xianbei thinks you are talking nonsense
"Where did you hear this news?"

Before Duan Pizhen could say anything else, Yu Liang asked solemnly.

"Although I heard this news, it was mixed with military information." Duan Pixian chuckled and cupped his hands towards Yu Liang, "Your Excellency is the imperial censor and the heir of a large family, so it should be It’s only right to know this information, we don’t believe in the theory of sky fire equipment at all, but we have different views on that equipment!”

As he spoke, his eyes scanned the surroundings.

This is just a small town, but because it is located on an important transportation road, half of the people who want to enter Dai County from other parts of Youzhou must pass through this official road. Therefore, although this town is small, it also has inns and taverns.

At this moment, the convoy, accompanied by the three elders and others, stopped at the edge of a tavern. Duan Pizhen and the others were in the tavern, with guards inside and outside, including the waiter. If I want to deliver a bowl of tea, I have to go through multiple rounds of questioning and repeated questioning.

Therefore, Duan Pixi could not see any hidden dangers with this glance, so he lowered his voice and said: "We in Youzhou, together with Pingzhou in the northeast, and even the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, are all exploring the so-called Equipment, how many of these organs and equipment are not related to the Mohist family? So I checked layer by layer and found that Ma Jun's line of Mohists had just been incorporated by Chen Zhi some time ago. Calculating the time , just before the Battle of Daijun, two gentlemen, do you think there is a connection between them?"

"Chen Zhi recruited Mo Zhi, why didn't the court get this news?" Yu Liang frowned and looked directly at Zhang Yang, with displeasure in his tone.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel that he had been wronged. What did the affairs of the court have to do with him?Each of these censors always looks at problems with the eyes of others!
I thought so, but I definitely didn't dare to say it out loud, so Zhang Yang could only laugh dryly, and then said calmly: "Perhaps such things are trivial in the eyes of the imperial court."

"This is a small matter for the imperial court of China, but for tribes like us, it is a big deal." Duan Pizhen grinned, "Since my tribe, my tribe, and even the Northeast and grasslands, it is particularly important. We attach great importance to these new weapons and forged iron weapons, and I believe that with your status, you are well aware of these matters."

After hearing what he said, the expressions on Yu Liang and Zhang Yang's faces became more and more complicated.

Just like what this paragraph says, the tribes in the north really attach great importance to this technical issue. As long as there is a breakthrough in iron smelting or an improvement in war weapons, they can run faster than anyone else, and they will try their best to obtain technology. content and then imitate it.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords were separatist, wars in the north had led to a significant population decline. Many craftsmen had fled everywhere in order to survive. Many of them either took the initiative to avoid disasters outside the Great Wall, or were passively robbed by grassland tribes, resulting in the loss of technology in the Central Plains. .

This is also the reason why the Xianbei tribes and the Xiongnu tribe pose a serious threat to the imperial court.

But I know that Yu Liang and others would still be embarrassed if someone said this to their face, especially since the other party also vaguely pointed out the problems on both sides——

The Xianbei tribes attach great importance to these, but the nobles in the Central Plains think that craftsmen are despicable, but they have to rely on them at critical moments. This contradictory understanding is just a joke within the Central Plains. Occasionally, some people use it to laugh at themselves, but it comes from the mouths of foreigners. , this feeling is completely different, making people feel a little embarrassed.

Duan Pizhen didn't seem to feel this. He still smiled and continued: "Now, I don't know how many people have sent spies to Dai County and Dangcheng. Some people even intend to use the fire equipment, yes, because they don't Knowing the specific name, in our tribe, we always refer to the artifact as the Skyfire Instrument. Some people try to steal the entire Skyfire Instrument. Of course, more people want to get the formula behind it, but now More people realize that these devices will not be born out of thin air, but..."

"It's a legacy from the Mohist family!" Zhang Yang slapped his hand on the table with annoyance on his face, "Why is he, Chen Zhi, so lucky! Even this kind of thing can happen to him! I have long heard that Mohists from the Mohist family have Many families have heirloom diagrams that record the creations of the ancient pre-Qin period, but such powerful creations are not common, how come Chen Zhi can find them!"

"Pay attention!" Yu Liang glared at Zhang Yang, making the latter startled and realized that he shouldn't have been so obvious.

"Mr. Duan, I'm afraid all this news about you is just hearsay. If the Mohist had such a sharp weapon, he should have taken it out long ago. Why wait until now?" Yu Liang looked at Duan Pixi and smiled lightly, "You Duan There is a big enmity between the department and Chen Zhi. What I said was just to sow discord between the court and him, and to kill someone with a knife. Although I went there this time for inspection, I acted impartially and there was no personal grudge involved. , It should be Chen Zhi’s fault, and no one will erase it, and it should be Chen Zhi’s fault, and no one will cover it up.”

"Of course, Junzi Yu's name has already been well-known to me in the north, but..." Duan Pixi smiled and changed the topic, "Several articles written by Governor Chen are all shocking, and now there are two The whole world was shocked when he defeated the enemy in battle. In terms of reputation, reputation, and prestige, he is so much beyond ordinary people that even if you go there with the imperial decree, you won't be able to suppress this person!"

"presumptuous!"

When Zhang Yang heard this, his expression changed suddenly. He finally couldn't listen anymore and slapped the table again!
"We are the angels of the imperial court, and we have come here with orders. As an envoy from your clan, how can we compare in terms of personality? Let your convoy go together, all for the sake of Wang Jun. As a result, you still don't know how to advance or retreat, and you repeatedly ask for an audience. , I only agreed to meet because of Duan Bu's loyalty to the court and your repeated requests. However, you did not know the dignity of others and made provocations. Now you are even contemptuous of the court's authority. What are your intentions? "

Duan Pixi stood up, cupped his hands and replied: "I hope you two can forgive me. I am really a foreign minister from a foreign country and I don't know the etiquette. I hope the court can forgive me this time because of Duan Bu's heart."

"In that case, retreat quickly!" Zhang Yang glanced at Yu Liang and said seriously when he saw that the latter's expression remained unchanged and his face was solemn.

Duan Pixi suppressed his smile and bowed to leave.As soon as they left, Yu Liang snorted coldly and said calmly: "This person is also a clever person."

Zhang Yang nodded in agreement and sneered: "This man is indeed arrogant. Duan Bu himself had a grudge against Chen Zhi, but was unable to retaliate for some reason, so he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but he really didn't know how to advance or retreat. How solemn is the imperial court? How could he be like this? Waiting for a wild bastard to take advantage of him? He doesn’t know how to live or die! He doesn’t know etiquette!”

"There is no need to say anything more about people like this," Yu Liang shook his head, stood up, waved his sleeves, and said to the subordinate secretary beside him: "If this person comes to ask for an audience afterwards, just politely refuse. There is no need to listen to his words anymore. "

"That's right, that's right. Don't ever listen to the sinister intentions of these people again!" Zhang Yang also emphasized from the side, "You must remember that this person can't be allowed to come over again!"

………………

"Yu Liang and Zhang Yang, these two people are trying to gain fame. After this incident, they will not let me visit again. You also ask the people below to restrain themselves. Although they are traveling together, they don't need to be too involved with the people of the court. .”

On the other side, Duan Pixun left the tavern and immediately found his adjutant to give him instructions.

The adjutant was suddenly confused: "Aren't we going to use his power to deal with Chen Zhi?"

"The goal has been achieved, there is no need to do anything more." Duan Pixi sneered, "Both of these two people have a grudge against Chen Zhi. No matter how high-sounding they say, about the majesty of the imperial court, in the final analysis, they still want to It’s for my own selfish desires, otherwise why would it be such a coincidence that the two of them came here?”

The adjutant said understandingly: "These two people had bad intentions from the beginning."

"That's right." Duan Pixian nodded and glanced outside the village. "According to our informants in Hanting, these two people came here to trouble Chen Zhi based on their military exploits. They said It was Chen Zhi who falsely reported his military exploits..."

Speaking of this, Duan Pizhen suddenly gritted his teeth, and was no longer as calm as he was in front of Yu Liang and Zhang Yang.

"... Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! Chen Zhi captured them all in one fell swoop. They were either annihilated or captured. Even the soldiers and horses outside the country were forced to scatter. In the end, less than three thousand returned to the clan! Less than three thousand! Duan Wenyang is simply trash!"

At the end, although he tried his best to suppress his voice and didn't want others to hear, the hatred in his words still came out.

The adjutant even dared not speak.

After a while, Duan Pixun calmed down, controlled his emotions, and said calmly: "So, the Han court actually thought that such a record was a false report, how stupid! Once the news spreads, all the tribes in the North will know about it. , this is nonsense! Obviously they are deliberately trying to trouble Chen Zhi. In that case, why don’t we help them? "

The adjutant suddenly became confused: "A helping hand?"

"Yes," Duan Pixian nodded, "A mere false report will at most result in Chen Zhi being reprimanded or cut off. What's more, he didn't make a false report himself, and he might be able to make a comeback, so why not give Yu Liang and the others another chance? Providing some weapons, all parties will soon have news about Mo Zhe. After all, it cannot be hidden. I tested Wang Jun in Jixian County and found that this person already knew about it. In this case, there is no harm in letting Yu Liang and the others know. , just use them to cause chaos in Dai County!"

"But didn't they kick you out?" The lieutenant general was a little puzzled, "I'm honest, I won't be fooled."

"People from the Central Plains like this superficial thing the most, but the bottom line is it's interests." Duan Pixian's eyes flickered, full of cold light, "Why do you think they don't want to have contact with me anymore? It's just to prevent others from gossiping. Only when someone instigates you will you frame the hero! If you don't let me get involved now, you want to deal with the hero in a fair and justifiable way!"

"This hero..." the deputy general thought thoughtfully.

Duan Pilong nodded.

"It's Chen Zhi!"
