Chapter 177: Du Wuku

Yanghu saw Cao Liang's gaze looking at Du Yuankai, and hurriedly introduced: "I forgot to introduce, Brother Ziming, this is Du Yuankai of the Jingzhao Du family; Brother Du, this is the little marquis of Gaoling Mansion, Cao Liang and Cao Ziming, who I often mentioned, and the two of them are very close. ”

Du Yu immediately smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Look up for a long time." ”

Cao Liang suddenly realized at this time that this Du Yuankai was Du Yuankai, and he hurriedly replied: "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

This fortunate meeting is not an ordinary polite and perfunctory words, but Cao Liang's words from the heart, Du Yu is not an ordinary character, but a hero who destroyed Wu, and Yanghu is listed as one of the sixty-four generals of Wumiao.

This ranking is not arranged by the common people according to their preferences, but is selected by the evaluation of the orthodox dynasty, and it is worthy of enjoying the temple of King Wucheng and being sacrificed by the emperors of the past dynasties.

King Wucheng is Jiang Shangye, Jiang Shang assisted King Wu of Zhou to destroy Shang, before the Tang and Song dynasties, Jiang Taigong was named "Wusheng" by the emperors of the past dynasties, Tang Suzong named Jiang Taigong as "King Wucheng", the edict ordered the capital and all states to set up Taigong Temple, with Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Bai Qi and other 74 famous ministers of the past dynasties and famous generals to enjoy Jiang Shang on both sides. Ten of them are revered as the "Ten Philosophers", and the remaining sixty-four are called the "Sixty-four Generals of the Wucheng Temple".

These are officially certified famous generals, and they are the most authoritative, and the folk rumors in the Three Kingdoms, Lu Er, Zhao Sandianwei, are not on the list. The highest status among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms is Zhuge Liang, who is respected as one of the "Ten Philosophers of Wumiao", and the sixty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms occupy eleven places, namely Zhang Liao, Deng Ai, Yanghu, Du Pre, and Wang Jun of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of the Shu Kingdom, and Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Lu Kang of the Wu Kingdom.

The Three Kingdoms is an era of brilliant stars, and in just a few decades, countless famous generals have emerged, both in quantity and quality, which are incomparable to other dynasties.

Now among these famous generals, except for Lu Xun and Lu Kang of Wu State, the others are all in Wei State, Cao Liang counts on his fingers, these four famous generals in the later period of Wei State, except for Wang Jun, the other three will more or less climb up to friendship by themselves, which is really joyful.

Du Pre was born in the Jingzhao Du family, the Jingzhao Du family is a big wealthy family in Guanzhong, Du Pre's grandfather Du Ji was a famous minister of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, served as Hedong Taishou for 16 years, because of the close relationship with Xun Yu and Geng Ji, so he was not trusted by Cao Cao, until Cao Pi was the throne of Wei, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei, and entered the dynasty as Shangshu. After Cao Pi became emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, Du Ji was named the Pavilion Marquis. Acting Si Lixiao Lieutenant of Shangshu as Shangshu, until October of the third year of Huang Chu, Cao Pi conquered Wu, Du Yi was promoted to Shangshu servant, Du Yi stayed in Luoyang, and was ordered to build a dragon ship, as a result, Du Yi was killed during the trial ship in Mengjin, posthumously presented as a servant, nicknamed Dai Hou.

Du Shu's father, Du Shu, served as a free cavalry attendant during the Ming Emperor's reign, was loyal and upright, and was assigned to serve in a quanwu in Yiyang because of the impeachment of Cao Zhen's younger brother Cao Fan, and then said that he was ill and lived in seclusion in Yiyang's Yiquanwu. After Cao Ei's death, he was able to serve as the Taishou of Hedong.

Due to the tense relationship between Du Shu and the powerful people in the DPRK and China, Du Pre did not have any chance to go out early, but Du Pre was not like other gentlemen, he only knew that the sound of dogs and horses was eating, drinking and having fun, and his favorite thing was to read a wide range of books, study the art of war, ponder the scriptures, and be knowledgeable, so he got the nickname of "Du Wuku".

However, because Du Pre is not good at martial arts, his riding skills are not good, and his archery skills are even more of a mess, so the people of the time also laughed at him, thinking that Du Pre was just a nerd, who only knew how to read dead books and read dead books, at best, he was a Zhao Kuo who talked on paper.

Only people like Yanghu have a discerning eye and can introduce Du Pre as a confidant, the two are similar in age and like-minded, so they are naturally friends.

In this era, most of the celebrities and scholars of the Han Dynasty inherited the tradition of the Han Dynasty, often ignoring the conquest of the imperial court, not that they did not like to be officials, but they were not willing to give in easily without a suitable position.

Yang Hu has big ambitions, how can he be willing to be a small accountant, so he naturally refused, he is waiting for a suitable opportunity, seeking an official position that is suitable for him and can be promoted quickly.

His thoughts coincided with Du Pre, this time the Eastern Wu attacked, and Xiahou Xuan served as the general of the expedition to the south, which undoubtedly made Yanghu and Du Pre see the hope of Zhishi.

So Yanghu ran to find Xiahou Xuan, and now he has been engaged to Xiahou Hui, Xiahou Ba's daughter, and is also Xiahou Xuan's cousin-in-law, hoping to find an errand for himself and Du Yu under Xiahou Xuan.

The expedition was imminent, and what Xiahou Xuan lacked was manpower, so he readily agreed at the moment, and hired Yanghu and Du Pre as the general of Zhengnan to engage in Zhonglang.

There are many subordinates of General Zhengnan, and the highest official rank in the government is Changshi, which is the chief staff of General Zhengnan, followed by joining the army, which is equivalent to a staff officer, and then is engaged in Zhonglang, although it is also regarded as a staff member, but it is more like the general's adjutant and attendant.

Yanghu and Du Yu had never held an official position before, so it was normal for them to be in Zhonglang this time.

However, Yang Hu and Du Yu are very satisfied, although Zhonglang is a low-level official position of the ninth grade, but this time they followed Xiahou Xuan on the expedition, as long as they can get military merits, promotion is just around the corner.

In fact, what Yanghu and Cao Liang said just now about going to fight on the orders of his sister was just a joke, the real situation is that Yang Huiyu heard the news that Yanghu was going to go on the expedition, but he was worried, and strongly advised Yanghu not to join the army to participate in the war, so as not to be in danger.

But Yang Hu had already made up his mind, and Yang Huiyu didn't listen to him no matter how he persuaded him, but told her that Cao Liang was also transferred to the general of Zhengnan to join the army this time, and he was going to fight together.

When Yang Huiyu heard this, he was silent.

Yanghu and Du Pre hurried to the south of the city, because Du Pre couldn't ride a horse, he didn't dare to ride too fast, so after Yanghu saw Cao Liang from a distance, he shouted loudly before drinking Cao Liang.

Cao Liang was very happy to hear that Yanghu Du Pre was also going to fight in the army, Yang Hu needless to say, his brother-in-law, that was not to run, but Du Pre and him were not very familiar with him, this southern expedition, no matter how much he had to contact Du Pre to have a relationship, it was a pity that such a famous general from the past and present was not encountered, and it was the most annoying thing in his life, so no matter what, he couldn't miss Du Pre.

The three of them were noisy for a while, went out of the city together, and looked at the school field in the south of the city.
