The reason why Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi were able to hold Jinyang and resist the siege of Hu soldiers for nearly ten years, and even had the spare strength to send Liu Yan to surpass Taihang and develop near Linzhang was mainly to rely on the foreign aid of the Xianbei Tuoba Department.

Liu Yueshi's pacification is long, control is short, the good and bad of the department are uneven, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has never been improved, in fact, if you really want to compare, Liu Yan's troops in Linzhang are even stronger, and with one enemy and two enemies, they can completely overwhelm his uncle. Hu soldiers attacked Jinyang many times, Liu Kun only barely parried, and had no power to fight back, if it weren't for Tuoba Yilu's help, he would have been defeated long ago - before carelessly losing Jinyang, but also relying on Tuoba Xianbei's reinforcements, he was able to recover the lost territory.

Then once Tuoba Xianbei gives up his full support for him, or even just between the two Liu and Wang, it is estimated that the situation in Jinyang will be precarious. Jinyang is the backing of Linzhang, once Jinyang is lost, I am afraid that Liu Yan will be difficult to survive in Linzhang. Lu Zhifu considered that he went to Liaodong this time and went around such a big circle, and when he returned to Linzhang, it would take four or five months to say that it would be four or five months, and whether Linzhang was still under Liu Yan's rule really needed to put a big question mark.

In that case, is there any point in going back by yourself? Whether it was the Hu army attacking from the west, or the thieves abandoning the alliance and going south, they would inevitably be tied to their Liu family and burned. He himself is very keen on fame, but no matter how keen he is, he has to have a life to obtain it, and it is worth taking the risk if there is a fifty percent chance, but what if there is not even a fifty percent chance? After all, I am not my uncle Lu Chen, and I have no relationship with the Liu family, so why should I die for it?

Fortunately, I am alone, I have no property and no family in Linzhang, and I can go at any time. The question is where to go? Although the world is big, where is my place?

It seems that following Todd to Xuzhou is a path that can be chosen......

Yu Lu repeatedly planned, but before he could make up his mind, the group arrived in Liaodong, and found Murong Xianbei's royal tent forty miles north of Changli County. The lord of Murong Xianbei also called himself Da Shan Yu, named Murong Diao, nearly fifty years old, born with a tall horse, thick beard, and extraordinary heroism. Tuoba Tou presented Tuoba Xianbei's tokens, as well as Wang Jun's letters—naturally there were many promises in the letter, such as that once the Duan Department was destroyed, he was willing to give all his pastures to the Murong Ministry—Murong Diao was overjoyed, and immediately set up a feast to entertain the guests.

Lu Zhi's father discussed with Tao De, saying that he had already arrived in Liaodong, so we should be able to flash people, right? Tao De went to ask Tuoba Tou, and Tuoba Tou smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, and wait for me to report to the Murong Ministry, send a guide, and send you to Xuansu." When he was finished, he took Todd's hand and said, "If your master has the intention of exterminating Hu in the Northern Expedition, maybe you and I can still meet in the battle array, and we should fight side by side to kill all the thieves!" ”

Along the way, Tao De naturally followed Pei Gai's instructions, poured a lot of ecstasy soup into the Xianbei people of the Tuoba Department, and listened to stories such as "Empty City Strategy" from Tuoba Tou down, and naturally all of them sincerely admired Pei Gai. Tuoba Tou once said: "I thought that the only person who could fight in China was Liu Bingzhou, and I couldn't imagine that there was also a Pei Xuzhou - if I could see the face of a hero, this life would not be wasted!" ”

So he went to ask Murong Diao for instructions, and Murong Diao not only immediately sent a guide, but also said: "Pei Xuanwu has never met, but his brother Pei Changli has always been friends with me. In the past, the hateful Yuwen Xi sent troops to harass him, and it was all because Pei Changli made peace in the middle, so that our department was not greatly damaged. If someone wants to go to Xuansu, please help pass the word to Pei Changli, saying that my Murong subordinates feel their virtue, and if there is an order, don't dare to disobey it. ”

As soon as Tuoba went back and said to Tao De, Tao De knew that he dared to love Changli County Shou Ye's surname Pei, or the brother of Xuanwu County Shou Pei Wu - it is not clear whether it is a brother or not. So he asked whether Changli was near or Xuansu, and the guide pointed to the direction and replied: "Two hundred miles to the south is Changli, and six hundred miles to the east is Xuansu." ”

Tao De returned to his heart like an arrow, so he discussed with Lu Zhi's father, saying that in this case, we might as well go to Changli, hand over the letter to Changli County Shou, and ask him to pass it on to Pei Wu of Xuansu, wouldn't this save a long distance? Lu Zhifu naturally had no objections.

But they didn't expect that when they rushed to Changli, they got the news that because Pei Wu was seriously ill, the county guard Pei Wei left his post and went to Xuansu to visit his brother - the county guard left the country, which was theoretically out of line with the system, but the emperor was far away, and now who can manage Liaodong. In desperation, the two had to go east again under the guidance of Murong Xianbei's guide. Todd was very depressed, and Lu Zhi's father couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The so-called 'no desire for speed, no small profits; If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and if you see a small profit, you can't do a big thing', the saint has already had a clear instruction, I don't listen, and even this! ”

——————————

Hedong Wenxi Pei's world is high, the people are prosperous, and there are many branches, of which the main branch is divided into four rooms - the Eastern Han Dynasty Du Liao general, and the state assassin Shi Pei Ye has two sons, the eldest man Pei Xi died early, and the second man Pei Maoguan is still the book order; Pei Mao's five sons, except for the last son Pei Wan, who has no heirs, the other four sons have been passed down to their great-grandchildren.

Changfang is the descendant of Pei Qian, and there are only Pei Gai left, as well as his cousin Pei Jing, who doesn't care whether he lives or dies. The second room Pei Jun Shishu, the descendants are Pei Si and Pei Chang's father and son who are stranded in Jiangdong - this branch has been out of the ancestral home for too long, and it is almost expulsion.

The third room is the descendants of Pei Hui, the most prosperous, only Pei Hui's grandchildren (the same generation as Pei Hui), men and women, or concubines or concubines, add up to twenty young people, including: Pei Bao, Pei Cui, Pei Dun, Pei Shao, Pei Xian, Pei Yao, etc., as well as the princess of the East China Sea and the Pei family of Weimen - Dumen Pei, and the Pei Tong who once came to Xuzhou to fight, are also from this branch, but they are one generation younger.

The fourth room is a descendant of Pei Ji, and the current two grandsons - Pei Wu and Pei Wei - are in Pingzhou.

Pei Wuzi Dajun, the second in line, is nearly sixty years old and is dying; His younger brother Pei Wei is twenty years younger than his eldest brother, he is a posthumous son, and he was raised by his brother when he was young.

This Pei Wenji is fair and honest, and knows power and strategy, and has a high reputation for Zhongzheng, so after entering the office, he is promoted steadily - first as a Zhongshu waiter, and then changed to Huangmenlang, and was able to serve as Xingyang Taishou before he was thirty years old. Pei Wu was much worse, struggling until he was in his fifties before he was appointed as Xuanwu Taishou. Although they are both Taishou, Xuansu County is in Pingzhou, when Liaodong is extremely far away, how can it be compared with a hinterland county like Xingyang? To tell the truth, officials with a better future are generally not sent to the kind of places where birds don't.

Pei Wu received the edict, and then stayed on the road, when he broke up with his brother Pei Wei, he said with tears in his eyes: "Xuansu is remote, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to return to my hometown, when the time comes, let the children help me with the coffin and return, and the funeral will be entrusted to the virtuous brother to ......" Pei Wei sighed, immediately gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and asked to be transferred to Changli County.

Changli County is next door to Xuanwu Jun, and when I get there, I can help my brother and watch. Although according to the law, the county and the state are not allowed to arbitrarily cross the border, but our brothers occasionally run to the border line to meet each other, and no one looks for him, right? If my brother does the same, I will resign and help his coffin back to his hometown—my nephews are still young, and I don't worry about them.

As a result, the four rooms of the Pei family's main branch moved to the Liaodong region, including Pei Wu, Pei Wei brothers, and the four young people of the next generation. Later, the "Yongjia Rebellion", Emperor Huai was taken captive, and then Emperor Chu succeeded to the throne, the two imperial courts, including the newly built Xingtai of all parties, all the big guys forgot about the place in Pingzhou, and no one thought of appointing another official to replace the Pei brothers, so they took up the post of Xuansu and Changli, and stayed in the place for nearly ten years.

Pei Wu's health was not very good, and when he was sixty years old, he suddenly became ill, Pei Wei heard the news, and knew that his brother's growth limit was coming, and he didn't care about any court regulations, so he immediately left political affairs, left Changli, and went to Pei Wu's sickbed to take care of him. Also staying by Pei Wu's side are his two sons: Pei Kai and Pei Zhan - Pei Wei also has two sons, but after arriving in Liaodong, they died one after another, and his knees were empty.

Pei Wu lay on the sickbed, took Pei Wei's hand and said, "How about I pass Ah Zhan to the virtuous brother as a son?" ”

Pei Wei shook his head: "Brother has an heir, just like a foolish brother has an heir, why bother?" ”

Pei Wu gasped for breath and struggled to ask: "After I died, I ordered Ah Kai and others to return to my hometown with my coffin, but now that Hedong is occupied by Hulu, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so...... It is convenient for this Xuansu County to choose a good place and bury me, the virtuous brother should go back to Changli, it is not easy to get an official, how can you give it up? ”

Pei Wei smiled bitterly: "The officials of such a wild place are not happy to get it, and it is not a pity to abandon it." Back then, it was to protect his brother, and the foolish brother came to Pingzhou, but now if the brother is not secret, this far county guard, don't do it. ”

Pei Wudao: "It's all for my brother to delay the virtuous brother...... With the talent of a virtuous brother, if you are in the Central Plains, Jiuqing can get it at your fingertips......"

Pei Wei waved his hand to stop Pei Wu from continuing: "Yimin (Pei Wei) established a dynasty and was victimized by traitors; The former Wen Zhengwei (Pei Dun) also died at the hands of Hu Lu...... The Central Plains is bandang, if the younger brother is there, it may be difficult to protect his life, but he came to Liaodong with his brother, so he has to save his life - Saiong lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing? Brother Zheng doesn't have to blame himself. ”

Pei Wu then asked: "After I die, if the virtuous brother doesn't want to defend Changli anymore, where will he live?" ”

Before Pei Wei could answer, Pei Kai next to him interjected and said: "Uncle has always had great ambitions, and he should be loyal to the imperial court, in order to expel Hu Lu, restore the Central Plains, and return my ancestral home in Hedong...... If you don't keep it for Chang Li, how can it be done? Isn't it possible to vote for that Cui Yu? ”

Cui Yu is a son of the Qinghe Gaomen, the great-grandson of Cui Yan, a famous minister in the late Han Dynasty, and also the uncle of Wang Jun. A few months earlier, Wang Jun was appointed as the commander of Pingzhou Assassin Shi and Dongyi, and Cui Yu led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Pingzhou Prefecture to govern Xiangping, and summoned the ministers of all counties under his jurisdiction to meet him. Pei Wu couldn't make the trip due to illness, but Pei Wei went on a trip, and by the way, he also made a detour to visit his brother.

Hearing Pei Kai's question, Pei Wei couldn't help but shake his head: "Cui Yuanjun is not a loyal minister, not only is he not loyal to the imperial court, but he is even not loyal to Wang Da Sima. In fact, if you can really ensure the peace of a realm, even if you can't afford to go south to recover the Central Plains, you should also help, but talk to it, there are many nonsense words, and there is really no talent for the director of the country, such a person, sooner or later, it will be destroyed, and An Ke will supplement it? Xiangping: I'm definitely not going to go again......"

After saying these words, he muttered for a while, and then glanced at his second nephew, Pei Kai and Pei Zhan understood, and then quit and withdrew. Pei Wei approached Pei Wu at this time, lowered his voice and said, "Brother has something, may I ask Brother." ”

"Say it."

"When I heard that the Central Plains families, they often protect their own foundation and do not want to forge ahead, such as Wang Da Sima's generation, and they want to usurp even more! If this continues, I am afraid that Luoyang will never recover, the country will not be at peace, and our desire to return to our hometown will also be vain...... The brother's intention is in Xianbei, what does the brother think? ”

Pei Wuyi frowned: "Does the virtuous brother want to lead the Xianbei soldiers south to fight against Hulu?" ”

Pei Wei nodded: "Liaodong Murong Diao, my brother has met once, he is a heroic and heroic, he is an immortal talent, and his sons are also considerable, if they can be supplemented, they can merge all departments, unify soldiers and horses, and go south to destroy Hu, they will not be embarrassed." However, now that the Duan clan in Liaodong is the only one, his younger brother also wants to go to Duan Jian Lu to see if he is more ambitious than Murong Diao, and whether his sons can inherit his father's business......"

Pei Wu shook his head and persuaded: "If you are not of my race, your heart is unpredictable, aren't you afraid of rejecting wolves at the front door and entering the tiger at the back door?" When Murong Diao was young, he also repeatedly invaded our realm, and then sent a large army to repel for Emperor Wu, and Fang Shi surrendered. Now that China's power is declining, I am afraid that the artifact will not fall into the hands of Hu Lu, but will be stolen by Xianbei! ”

Pei Wei smiled bitterly: "If people are hungry and thirsty to death, even poison is difficult to resist, if you can live for a while, it is a while, and in the future, can An think about it too long?" If the foolish brother can assist Xianbei, even if he eventually overthrows Sheji, he can repay the hatred of the Son of Heaven, and return to my hometown and rebuild the family. Shall I live forever in this remote and desolate place? ”

Pei Wu still shook his head: "In this way, even if the family can prosper, the virtuous brother will inevitably fall into a thousand years of infamy......"

Pei Wei said: "Brother, Huayi's distinction doesn't have to be too clear. The ancestor of the Murong clan is also said to be a descendant of the Xiong clan, and during the Xia and Shang periods, he entered Donghu in the north and became Xianbei. If the younger brother can guide him back to the Central Plains and become the lord of China, how can he be infamous behind him? The Bank of China said that the matter of Li Ling, the foolish brother will not do it, and the elder brother does not have to worry. ”

Pei Wu sighed softly: "Let's discuss it again...... No, if the virtuous brother has already made up his mind, I will not persuade him more, and I will ask for more care of Ah Kai and Ah Zhan after my brother'......s death."

Pei Wei said that of course, brother, you don't have to entrust-"Brother should treat his second nephew as his own son, help him shine brightly, and continue my Pei family." ”

As he was talking, Pei Kai's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Daddy, uncle, a messenger came from Youzhou and sent a letter from Uncle Jing Si. ”

Pei Wei frowned slightly: "I haven't asked for a long time, why did you suddenly send someone to send a letter?" Could it be that Cui Yu came to recruit my brother? ”
