The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 580 It turns out to be you!

"General, why are you so concerned about a scholar?"

Duan Qizhen's face was full of confusion. He rode on his horse, looked at Wen Yang beside him, and couldn't help asking.

Wen Yang looked around, rode his horse forward a little, and Duan Qizhen followed.

Wen Yang whispered, "Perhaps you've noticed that although I'm skilled in combat and brave, I'm still somewhat lacking in strategy."

Duan Qizhen pursed her lips.

General, you are not enough! !
You don’t have any at all!!

When have you ever used strategy? You just rushed in and killed!
Duan Qizhen didn't know why Wen Yang had such a misunderstanding, but considering his fighting ability, Duan Qizhen still showed a surprised expression.

"If the general didn't have strategy, how could he have achieved so many military feats? You are too modest!"

Wen Yang laughed out loud. "Although you're just flattering me, it sounds pretty good."

He added, "Anyone who can make the governor worried must be a very talented person. If such a person stayed in Xianbei, he would definitely be our great enemy. Besides, I also want someone with strategy to assist me."

Wen Yang expressed his thoughts.

Duan Qizhen finally understood.

I understand the principle, but don’t you treat me as a Xianbei?
Wen Yang followed Duan Qizhen on the road. The age difference between the two was huge.

Duan Qizhen once followed his brother Sima Yi to fight against Goguryeo. Now he is over sixty years old, which is enough to be Wen Yang's grandfather.

However, Duan Qizhen has taken good care of himself, he is fair and plump, and he doesn't look old at all.

It seems that the Hu people of this era were quite long-lived, whether they were the Xiongnu or the Xianbei, as long as they did not die an unnatural death, they basically lived long lives.

Maybe it’s because I’m not picky about food.

The nobles of this era were morbid both in their thoughts and in their living habits.

Wen Yang told Duan Qizhen about his experiences over the years.

"I actually understand General Yang's idea. He wants me to become the kind of general who can rule a region. They don't want me to be Fan Kuai, they want me to be Han Xin and Peng Yue."

"But becoming that kind of commander is not my ambition."

"Even though they look down on generals who lead the charge, I prefer being a general. I prefer leading cavalry charges, not commanding armies from a high platform."

Hearing Wen Yang's words, Duan Qizhen smiled bitterly.

On the one hand, he admired this young man very much and even envied his unique vitality.

On the other hand, he was jealous.

Damn, it’s great to be a kid from an aristocracy. You can be whatever you want and you have the chance to choose.

Duan Qizhen pondered for a moment before speaking: "General, you are still young. There is no need to rush to become Han Xin or Peng Yue. The Great Wei has many generals who can lead the army to war. When you are older and can no longer charge, you can become a commander-in-chief."

"After accumulating decades of combat experience, the general will surely become an outstanding commander."

Wen Yang was very happy to hear Duan Qizhen's words.

"This is the first time someone has spoken to me like this. Thank you very much!"

Duan Qizhen hurriedly shook his head, "I am Hu Su, how dare I ask the general to express his gratitude?"

Wen Yang laughed and said proudly, "That's not necessary. I do have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should tell you."

"General, please speak."

"Just merge directly into the Great Wei. I will write to His Majesty directly, stating that you are voluntarily merging. Then all your people will be given public land and directly obtain household registration!"

"As for Lord Duan, if you don't mind, how about staying by my side and becoming a captain? With my current rank, I can only keep you by my side as a captain. This is not disrespectful to you. If you make military achievements in the future, I will definitely submit a petition for you."

Duan Qizhen's eyes widened. "I do! Of course I do!!"

The Duan tribe at this moment is not the one that can become the General of Cavalry in the future. They are still just a struggling refugee group.

Duan Qizhen was certainly willing to be promoted from the leader of the refugee group to a real captain of the Wei Dynasty. Moreover, he was following Wen Yang. No matter how you looked at it, his future official rank would not be lower than that of the Four Expeditions.

"Thank you, General!!"

"Hahaha, there's no need for that!"

Duan Qizhen said with emotion: "If I ever have a grandson, I will definitely give him the name of General!"

Wen Yang was stunned for a moment, "What does this mean?"

Duan Qizhen smiled and said, "We usually give our children the names of the most noble people to express our expectations for them!"

Wen Yang thought this was a bit strange, but also quite amusing. He laughed again, "Okay, it's a deal!"

In history, Duan Qizhen had a grandson.

His name is Duan Wenyang.

It can be seen that Duan Bu has high expectations for him.

Duan Wenyang did not disappoint the expectations of his family.

Duan Wenyang was the bravest and most loyal person in the entire Duan tribe. He followed his brother Duan Pidi to lead troops to attack Shi Le many times, and later joined forces with Liu Kun and Shao Xu to jointly attack Shi Le.

Later, Shi Hu attacked Duan Pidi, the governor of Youzhou, who was stationed at Yanci. The governor trapped his men in the isolated city. Kong Chang then conquered several other cities under Youzhou's jurisdiction, where he brutally slaughtered the civilians. Duan Wenyang said to Duan Pidi, "I am renowned for my bravery, and therefore the people rely on me and place their trust in me. Now, I see the people being plundered and do nothing to help them. This is a sign of cowardice. If I disappoint the people, who will serve me again?"

So, this tough guy decided to live up to his name. He led a dozen warriors to charge the enemy camp. He killed many enemies until his horse fell down.

Shi Hu tried to persuade him to surrender, but he said: We are all Hu people, like one family, please lay down your weapons!

Duan Wenyang cursed: "Who would be a family member with a thief like you? I would rather die in battle than surrender."

Then he dismounted and fought until even his spear broke. He then continued fighting with a knife, from the hour of Chen to the hour of Shen. Finally, he was surrounded by soldiers, who used their robes to capture Duan Wenyang, who had completely lost his strength.

Later, because his brother lobbied for him, he was also poisoned.

There were two Wen Yangs in the Western Jin Dynasty, and both of them lived up to the name.

Murong Nai followed behind them, watching them laugh from afar, his heart filled with jealousy.

How could this old dog deserve the favor of a royal family member?

He wanted to go up and curry favor with him, but when he thought of Wen Yang's murderous look, he became a little scared. He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, his head would be chopped off.

Under the leadership of Murong Nai, they returned to the city of Murong tribe and came to Murong Nai's mansion.

Wen Yang ordered the knights to surround the place and asked Murong Nai to take him to find the scholar.

Murong Nai was clearly worried at this moment. He kept explaining to Duan Qizhen, "Uncle, if this person knew I was doing something bad to him, he might slander me. Please explain to the general that I have absolutely no intention of being disloyal."

Duan Qizhen chuckled and said nothing.

Finally, they arrived in front of a study.

Murong Nai pointed to the study in front of him and said, "He lives here."

Wen Yang sneered and rushed into the study.

A man dressed as a scribe was sitting in the house reading. When he saw someone breaking in, he quickly drew his sword.

When Wen Yang saw this person, he was stunned.

"How could you?"

The man was also shocked.

Wen Yang wanted to say something, but then realized what was happening. He frowned and said, "He doesn't want to be an official, yet he actually ran here. Oh, all of you, get out. I have something to say to him!"

Duan Qizhen and Murong Nai turned around and left.

After they left and closed the door, Wen Yang finally shouted, "How could it be you?! You're called strategic? Resourceful? Proficient in the classics?"

The scholar sitting in front of him, no, a fake scholar, was Wen Yang's old acquaintance, Liu Lu.

Liu Lu also smiled bitterly at this moment, "How did you get in? Has my reputation spread to General Yang?"

Wen Yang sat in front of him, still a little confused at this moment.

"As a general of Pingbei, it's perfectly normal for me to be here, but why are you here?"

Liu Lu blinked and said, "As a lieutenant, I cannot tell you this."

Wen Yang's face suddenly fell.

Liu Lu laughed again, "But as a friend, I can still tell you."

Liu Lu whispered, "Our Dianshifu is expanding to Liaodong. We have never had any of our people within the Xianbei. Your Majesty feels this is inappropriate. In order to detect the actions of these Hu people in time, I came here. I originally wanted to do something small, but I didn't expect you to come in."

Wen Yang asked, "Are you here to provoke civil war among the Xianbei?"

Liu Lu immediately raised his head and said, "That's not what I told you."

Wen Yang was very surprised when he heard this. "I didn't expect that you have expanded your influence here in just a short time?"

Liu Lu didn't say anything. This was not something that could be told to anyone.

The Dianshifu today is completely different from that during Cao Cao's time.

During the reign of Cao Cao, the Dianshifu was very open and aboveboard, exposing almost everything to the public. It was more like an institution used for intimidation.

But now, in addition to the commander in public, there is also a commander in secret.

Only the emperor, Liu Lu and Wang Yuan know how big the Dianshifu is now and what extent it has reached.

Cao Mao also issued an order that no one should disclose these matters and no one should know about them.

Even when facing Wen Yang, Liu Lu didn't dare to say much.

The purpose of his coming this time was to sow discord among the Xianbei tribes, and at the same time to stir up some small troubles to weaken their strength.

According to His Majesty the Emperor, it is to help them complete their education as quickly as possible.

Unexpectedly, all his plans in the Xianbei tribe were disrupted by Wen Yang.

However, this does not matter, after all, there is still the Tuoba tribe.

Wen Yang did not ask any more questions. The two of them exchanged greetings warmly. After chatting for a long time, Wen Yang talked about the current situation of the Murong and Duan tribes.
