The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 685 But you are just a child!

Bingzhou, Taiyuan.

The Southern Xiongnu have been paying close attention to the affairs of the Xianbei these days.

They had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the enemy outside the Great Wall, despite having an advantage in military strength, which made the Huns feel ashamed to face their ancestors.

When they talked about the Tuoba tribe, each of them gnashed their teeth. In their words, the Tuoba were all insidious villains who only knew how to use tricks. If they had not been careless at the beginning, they would not have been defeated by these guys.

Liu Bao sat in the upper position, and now he had the highest prestige among the Huns.

The original commanders of various departments are no longer responsible for specific affairs, but they often come to him to discuss some things together, such as how to carry out future cooperation work.

The leaders of various tribes, as well as some famous Xiongnu people, scholars and other outstanding talents, all gathered here.

Of course, Liu Yuan is also included.

The young Liu Yuan stood beside Liu Bao, standing out like a crane among chickens.

Although he is still very young, his expression and temperament make him an absolute celebrity!
This person looks more like a celebrity than Liu Xuan.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Yuan did not participate, but just stood aside with a look of disdain.

After returning to his hometown, Liu Yuan really gained the respect of everyone.

Although he knew nothing about anything when discussing classics with Liu Xuan, it did not affect his status in everyone's heart at all.

There is a feeling that "Liu Xuan is knowledgeable, but those who stand beside him with their heads raised are truly famous scholars."

But only his father Liu Bao knew that his child was useless.

After Wang Su died, he became a disciple of Zhong Hui, but he did not expect that Zhong Hui was such an eccentric person.

I have been teaching my son for so long, but I haven't taught him anything except pretending. What a smart child he is.

Liu Bao had made up his mind that he would never let his son return to Luoyang.

As for people like Zhong Hui, forget about them. If you follow a teacher like that, who knows what kind of teaching you will get in the future!
It's already outrageous now, what will happen if we continue teaching it?

"Hahaha, the Xianbei are going to suffer this time! How can General Wen be easily dealt with? Isn't he going to chop off that old thief Tuoba's head?!"

"Alas, it's hard to say. The old thief Tuoba is cunning, and this is outside the Great Wall. This war will not end so easily."

"Why didn't General Wen call us?"

Everyone talked about their views on the war.

They were looking forward to the Xianbei being severely beaten, but they were not very optimistic about the progress of the war.

"Everyone, I think we can report this to His Majesty!"

At this moment, Liu Jing spoke. He looked at everyone and said, "There are mostly cavalry outside the Great Wall. If we want to deal with Tuoba, we still have to use us. We can report to His Majesty and ask him to send us to the Great Wall. With General Wen and others here, we don't have to worry about being defeated. If we can chop off a few heads, we can make further progress!"

As he spoke, someone suddenly asked, "You are quite right, but what if His Majesty is unwilling?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Even if His Majesty doesn't agree to let us send troops, it can be regarded as a recognition of our loyalty, which is not a bad thing for us."

Everyone nodded in approval.

At this moment, Liu Yuan suddenly said, "I still advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Liu Bao frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be rude."

Liu Yuan said unhappily, "That's exactly how it is. Your Majesty has finally dispersed our tribes and relocated them to various counties. Are you going to make all of His Majesty's previous efforts go to waste with just this one memorial? How is that possible?"

"Besides, submitting a memorial like this will only make His Majesty think that you are reminiscing about the time when you had military power, and that you want to take this opportunity to reclaim it and even expect to receive a reward?"

"If you want to receive His Majesty's reward, it's easy. Just submit a memorial now, expressing your gratitude for His Majesty's kindness and asking about His Majesty's recent health. If you write with a little emotion, you will be rewarded immediately, and you may even be promoted to a higher rank!"

After hearing Liu Yuan's words, several people looked at each other, speechless.

Liu Bao also glanced at Liu Yuan at this moment, with obvious surprise in his eyes.

"Yuan! Don't talk nonsense! Your uncles are here to help His Majesty share his worries!"

"Sharing worries? What kind of worries can the Xianbei have?"

"They may seem powerful, with hundreds of thousands of people, but in my opinion, they are not as good as Goguryeo! Goguryeo has its own king, who can appoint his ministers to titles. Therefore, when they are attacked, they can lead their ministers to flee. Can the Xianbei do that?"

"The Tuoba are just a big alliance. If they encounter setbacks or threats, they will fall apart!"

"The Grand Marshal is a famous general of the time. How could he not know this truth?"

"Whether a country is strong or not depends not on the size of its army but on its domestic system!"

"The Tuoba army is powerful and numerous, but their system is too backward. With that system, they can only bully barbarians and small countries. If they encounter a truly powerful country, they will be powerless to fight back!"

Liu Yuan began to analyze.

Everyone fell silent, looking at him, not daring to say a word.

Although there is some truth to this, it is not very convincing. Even they were chased and attacked by the Xianbei. How could they be so weak when they had 200,000 men who could draw bows? And why do they say they were not as good as Goguryeo?
Just when Liu Jing was about to scold this little thing, someone suddenly rushed in.

This is Liu Bao's retainer.

He looked at everyone, and finally at Liu Bao. "Master!! The Xianbei were defeated!! Tuoba Liwei was captured alive!!"

"what?!"

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar, their eyes full of astonishment. At this moment, they looked at Liu Yuan again, and there was not only admiration in their eyes, but even some fear.

What on earth did this guy learn in Luoyang? Did he learn some sorcery?

Liu Bao took the letter from his retainer and read it for a moment. He was surprised to find that it was just as Liu Yuan said. The Xianbei alliance was disbanded, everyone fled, and was quickly defeated.
He took a deep breath and looked at the little thing.

"How did you know? You are in Luoyang, so why are you so familiar with the affairs of the Tuoba tribe?"

Liu Yuan snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "That Li Wei from the Tuoba tribe is always pestering my teacher and writing letters to him. Sometimes my teacher is too lazy to reply, so he asks me to read and reply on his behalf!"

"what??"

Liu Jing was stunned at this moment.

You exchanged letters with Tuoba Liwei?

But you're just a teenager. What kind of ruthless person is your teacher?

How could he do such an outrageous thing?
Liu Bao pursed his lips and asked, "Besides reading letters, what else do you do on weekdays?"

"Just doing some small things, looking at the imperial edicts issued by the Zhongshutai, looking at the meeting minutes of the Shangshutai, etc."

"."

The whole house was silent.

Looking at the astonished eyes of the crowd, Liu Yuan felt extremely comfortable in his heart!

Is this how teachers feel on a daily basis?
It turns out to be such an enjoyment!
Everyone's attitude towards Liu Yuan became even more respectful. Before leaving, Liu Jing took his hand and whispered, "You know my useless grandson, who is a few years older than you. Do you think it would be possible to let him go to Luoyang to study as well?"

"He's stupid and nowhere near as good as you. I don't dare to hope that your teacher will take him in. I just hope to find a famous scholar who knows some classics to teach him."

Liu Yuan shook his head.

"Your grandson doesn't have the appearance of a famous scholar."

After saying that, Liu Yuan turned and left.

Only Liu Jing was left, completely confused.

The appearance of a celebrity?

What does a famous scholar look like? Doesn't he have the temperament of Liu Yuan?
Got it! Let him learn it when he gets home!!
That night, Liu Bao ordered his men to pack up and prepare to send someone to escort Liu Yuan to Luoyang.

Liu Yuan's mother was very surprised.

"Didn't you say earlier that you wanted A Yuan to stay and not rush back to Luoyang? Why are you in such a hurry to send him there now?"

Liu Bao shook his head and said, "I was ignorant in the past. The Five Classics are nothing to me. What my son has learned is what a true scholar should learn!"

"I have to prepare a generous gift for his teacher. It must not be taken lightly!"

Wei went to war with Tuoba.

Goguryeo was in dire straits.

At first, Guanqiu Jian pretended to attack Goguryeo, which scared the King of Goguryeo so much that he fled the royal city overnight. They abandoned a large number of cities and carried the people and a large amount of supplies towards Sushen, for fear that Guanqiu Jian would start chasing them.

Along the way, there were quite a few casualties among those who brought their families with them.

In the end, it was discovered that Guanqiu Jian had gone to attack the Tuoba tribe!
The King of Goguryeo was both happy and angry.

I was happy that I was safe, but angry that I had run so far in vain.

Goguryeo decided to stay and wait and see, and did not continue to run away.

When they saw the Wei State killing people everywhere in Tuoba's territory and forcing Tuoba to flee in fear, they felt indescribably happy.

I've said it before, you can't use guerrilla warfare when fighting against Guanqiu Jian. Don't you remember this?
They were even happy for Guanqiu Jian's victory. It seemed that the stronger the opponent, the more it proved that it was not that they were too weak at the beginning, but that they were really unable to turn the situation around.

But as they watched, they felt something was wrong.

The Tuoba tribe was defeated, and then they started running. There was nothing wrong with that, but why the hell were they running towards me?
What should we do if Guanqiu Jian is provoked again?
Just when they were about to warn the other side and ask them to leave, the Tuoba tribe launched an attack on Goguryeo. They captured Goguryeo's cities, plundered its people, and vaguely intended to swallow up the other side.

The King of Goguryeo was furious.

It’s fine that Guanqiu Jian came to bully me, but how dare you, a mere barbarian, come and provoke us?

Do you really think we are made of clay?

The two sides immediately started fighting.

Goguryeo was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and the other side was commanded by outstanding generals such as Tuoba Chuo, so Goguryeo was defeated step by step.

The defeated soldiers who were driven away by Guanqiu Jian beat them so badly that the King of Goguryeo almost vomited blood.

He immediately decided to lead the army himself and give this group of people a good fight.

Guanqiu Jian was standing by at the moment, watching the two players in the loser group fighting.
