The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 577 Broken
At this moment, a skinny old man was lying on the bed with his legs twisted unnaturally. He looked at the tall young man standing beside him and couldn't help frowning.

"My son, what happened?"

This old man was none other than Murong Muyan, the previous generation ruler of the Xianbei. He had followed Guanqiu Jian to attack Goguryeo, had made many military achievements, and was loyal to the Wei Dynasty.

And standing before him was none other than the current leader of the Murong tribe, his son Murong Shegui.

Shegui is still young and looks energetic, but at this moment, his face is full of anger.

"A Wei general has arrived and attacked our army indiscriminately. I've already sent someone to negotiate with the governor!"

Hearing Shegui's words, Mu Yan was very surprised, "My son, didn't I ask you to send someone to welcome him? Why did this happen?"

Shegui was stunned and shouted hurriedly, "I sent people to greet him out of kindness, but he suddenly attacked and killed my men and my adopted son! I will never forgive him!"

Mu Yan suddenly became angry. "Why would the Wei general attack your envoy for no reason? Tell me the truth! What did you do?!"

Mu Yan was still relatively loyal to the Great Wei, and the reason he fell into his current state and became disabled was because of the affairs of the Great Wei.

Previously, due to the dispute between Cao Mao and Sima Shi, unrest broke out in Hebei and the Youzhou clans suffered a huge attack. However, Chen Ben chose to remain indifferent at the suggestion of the court.

Only after He Zeng's order was issued did Chen Benfang begin the pursuit. A large number of rebels fled from Liaoxi and other places in Yan State to Liaodong.

As a loyal Murong of the Wei Dynasty, Murong Muyan led elite cavalry to fight against the rebels.

But what he didn't expect was that these rebels actually had powerful crossbows and armor! !

Mu Yan was not defeated, but was shot off his horse and his legs were trampled by the horse.

Under Cao Mao's butterfly effect, this Xianbei leader, who was supposed to rule for another ten years, became disabled, while his incompetent and ambitious son took the throne ahead of time.

In order to guard against his ambitious younger brother, the young Mu Yan adopted another son and named him Tuguhun.

Everything has changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed.

Shegui was different from his father. He was young and energetic, and had never witnessed the heroic feat of Guanqiu Jian commanding his army to capture the capital of Goguryeo, massacre the city and kill its king.

The older generation, such as Mu Yan and Duan Qizhen, who had truly followed Sima Yi and Guanqiu Jian, knew how terrifying the Wei Dynasty was and how they should get along with them. Even people like Tuoba Liwei, although they had never followed the Wei Dynasty, had experienced the war against Goguryeo after all.

They saw that a regime with power similar to their own was conquered by the Wei Dynasty after a long expedition, with many people killed, the royal city was massacred, and the heads of the leaders were hung on the city gates.

Therefore, they are all willing to live in harmony with the Wei Dynasty.

Shegui didn't quite understand why his father was so polite to the people of Wei. In his opinion, his grandfather and father had made great sacrifices for the State of Wei, but they did not receive corresponding rewards.

Seeing his son's expression, Mu Yan suddenly remembered something. He became furious and struggled to get up.

"Did you send someone to humiliate General Wei?!"

In other words, the Xianbei people today have become civilized. Otherwise, given Mu Yan's current state, he would have been lucky not to be hacked to death by his own sons in the past Xianbei system.

Whether it is the Duan tribe or the Murong tribe, their degree of sinicization is relatively high, higher than that of the Tuoba tribe. They are ranked: the Duan tribe first, the Murong tribe second, and the Tuoba tribe third.

Therefore, Shegui is quite respectful to his father.

He hurried forward, supported his father, and said unhappily, "Father, I only sent people to investigate their identities. I never humiliated them. Besides, what would it matter if I humiliated them? A few years ago, you broke your leg to help them quell the rebellion, but what about them?"

"Have they sent anyone to inquire about your injuries? Have they given you any reward?"

"You eliminated those rebels at a great cost, but in the end, those Wei people were promoted, and we didn't get any reward!"

"Father, please stop doing this! We are not vassals of Wei! If they want to attack us, we will occupy Goguryeo's territory and establish ourselves as kings! Do they dare to send troops to attack us?"

When Mu Yan heard the word Goguryeo, several horrible memories suddenly emerged in his mind and he couldn't help but tremble.

He looked at Mu Yan in front of him angrily, "You bastard."

He wanted to say something, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak and started coughing violently.

Shegui didn't dare to say anything more and quickly asked someone to bring some water.

Watching his father gulp down the water, Shegui finally said, "Father, don't worry. I won't go deal with that Wei general now. Over the years, I, Murong, have done my best for the Wei Kingdom. The local governor asked me several times to attack bandits and guard against Tuoba, and I never refused."

"But we've done so much, yet we haven't received any reward at all. They still look down on us."

"This time, I just want the governor to give me an explanation. Next, I will lead my people to find a suitable place for us!"

There was a gleam in Shegui's eyes.

Mu Yan finally calmed down at this time, and he looked at Shegui angrily.

"You let that Wei general go? I'm afraid that Wei general won't let you go!"

"I originally thought you were brave, so I let you inherit my position. Now it seems that I was wrong! You are not as smart as your brothers!"

"You just showed off your strength in Liaodong and think you are invincible?! Have you ever seen a 100,000-strong army marching out to fight?!" Mu Yan took a deep breath, "Before I dismiss you, take back all your troops and tie yourself up to apologize."

Shegui's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.

He was really too young. For a young man like him, it was extremely difficult to accept being scolded by his father and even being compared to others.

He frowned and said, "Father, wait until that man is caught, then I will confront him face to face."

Just when Shegui was about to install one for his father, someone suddenly rushed into the mansion in a panic. He looked much younger. His name was Murong Nai.

He is Shegui's younger brother.

He has a completely different personality from his brother.

Shegui is warlike, brave, ambitious and domineering.

Murong Nai was not good at fighting. He was a very cunning person. He always liked to hang out with Han scholars, do things behind the scenes, and use various means to gain his father's favor.

Mu Yandu hinted to Murong Shegui several times, hoping that he would choose his younger brother as his successor.

But Shegui really disliked his younger brother.

He always felt that his younger brother was very insidious and was plotting to take his place.

Shegui even thought about killing his brother.

Once, he asked his brother to go hunting with him, and then forced him to shoot a tiger as a tribute to him.

Murong Nai bribed several professional hunters and bought an underage tiger from them, and presented it to his brother to save his life.

Murong Nai walked into the house and looked at his brother. He was about to say something, but then he noticed his father standing beside him. He quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

She Gui sneered, "You've already broken in, why bother pretending? Tell me, what happened?"

Murong Nai hurriedly said, "Brother, it's bad! The Wei generals are coming to kill us!"

Shegui was shocked, "What did you say?"

He immediately lost his momentum and asked hurriedly, "How many men did you bring?"

"More than 500 people."

Shegui was shocked and angry. "How could more than 500 people come to kill us? You incompetent bastards!"

Hearing his brother's scolding, Murong Nai hurriedly said: "Brother, those 500 people are not ordinary soldiers. They are extremely elite and good at fighting. The 1,000 people before were defeated by them. Mu Lie and others who were patrolling outside went to stop them, but they were directly defeated. Even Mu Lie was killed. They are coming towards us. We don't have many troops left in the city."

After hearing what the other party said, Shegui said nothing more to him, but just said coldly: "Take good care of father! I will go and meet these ignorant guys by myself!!"

Mu Yan hurriedly dissuaded him, "No! Don't do it."

But before he could finish, Shegui left in a hurry.

After Shegui left, Murong Nai looked at his father beside him and suddenly burst into tears.

Mu Yan was already upset, and when he heard his son crying, he became even angrier.

"How can a man weep like a woman?"

Murong Nai wiped his tears and said aggrievedly, "Father, if the enemy attacks, we can all escape, but father is ill and cannot leave. Thinking of this, I can't help but cry!"

Mu Yan's expression softened a bit. "Nai, don't worry about me. Send someone to stop your brother and don't let him make a big mistake."

Murong Nai said, "Father, my brother won't listen to me. If I try to stop him, I'm afraid it will cause a quarrel."

"Father, don't worry. I heard that the Wei general coming is Wen Yang, the son of General Wen Qin, who once captured Sima Zhao alive. He is so brave that he can withstand thousands of men. He is a favorite of the emperor. The cavalry he leads are the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. These elite soldiers can fight ten to one, and they were all selected from the centurions."

"I'm really worried about my brother's safety now. Facing an enemy like this, I'm afraid even if you have the most courage and strength, you won't be able to win."

"My brother has always been conceited. Since he came to power, he has repeatedly attempted to establish himself as the king. He even told his attendants to address him as the Great Chanyu, not the king."

"Father, I think the best thing we can do now is to prepare to persuade my brother before he is defeated. Father has made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty and has made countless military achievements. If you can personally meet this man and apologize to him, he will not dare to attack us again."

Murong Nai began to tell the story.

Murong Muyan slowly looked at him, "My son, you said it very well."

"It's just that there's one thing I don't quite understand."

"How do you know so much about each other when even your brother and I don't know each other's details?"
