Chapter 29: The Du Family
In the north of Yongcheng City, a field.
Liu Yu looked at the powerful private general in front of him who was clamoring for him to have no return, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
These people were originally Cao Wei's warriors, who didn't want to protect their own people, and even aided and abused these people as slaves.
Liu Yu no longer talked nonsense with these people in front of him, and immediately waved his long knife and shouted angrily:
"Since you are looking for death, then so-and-so will give you a ride."
"Kill!"
The cavalry under his command were all well-trained, and after hearing Liu Yu's order, they did not hesitate, and directly brandished the ring-headed sword and rushed towards the enemy.
On the other hand, the leader of the other party, seeing that Liu Yu was so decisive, he actually panicked for a while.
The private soldiers under his command are usually strong, and they are also wearing leather armor, but in front of the army, they look vulnerable.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yu and the others rushed in front of those people, and the person led by the other party reflexively raised the lance and stabbed Liu Yu.
Liu Yu originally saw that this person was so arrogant, and thought that the martial arts were so strong, but in the end, he didn't expect that it was a silver-like wax gun head, which was useless.
The lance was soft in his hand and didn't have any strength, just looking fierce, but Liu Yu saw the opportunity and grabbed it.
Then along the lance, Liu Yu directly dragged the man off the horse.
As soon as the battle began, it was already over.
More than 100 cavalry slashed like scimitars, leaving only the neighing horses on the ground, and the horses on the knights were all swept off their horses by the Shu army, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Liu Yu stood at the head of the man again, and asked in a deep voice:
"Who the hell are you?"
Liu Yu's voice was not loud, but it was full of murderous intent, which frightened the person into a spirit, and there was no longer the show of strength just now.
Hearing the question, he hurriedly replied:
"I... I am the Du family, the Du family... The eldest son, Du Lan. ”
"The Du family?"
Liu Yu recalled some memories about the Du family in his mind, but he remembered that the Du family should be in Luoyang Capital now, and should not appear here.
The Du family is more famous in Cao Wei's entry into the Shi is Du Xi, and then Du Shu.
Du Xi served under Cao Cao and Cao Pi, and won the trust of the two, and Du Xi even achieved the position of Shang Shu's servant under Cao Pi, known as Du Shaofu.
Du Shu is the son of Du Xi, and in the future, Du Shu will become Cao Wei's Youzhou Assassin History, holding festivals, and protecting the captain of Wuhuan, which can be described as a high authority.
However, the current Du Shu should still be serving in the capital and serving as the waiter of the Yellow Gate, why did the Du family appear here?
"Who are you, Du Shu?"
"Uncle."
Du Lan explained:
"The Du clan in the world is from the Yingchuan Du clan, but my uncle is upright in the court and has offended many scholars."
"That's why we had to move to Fufeng County to settle down."
"I see."
Liu Yu then understood.
I have to say that this Du Shu is indeed a stunned young man, an iron-headed baby, not afraid of death.
Du Shu himself was born in the scholar clan, but his position was contrary to that of the scholar clan.
As soon as he became the squire of the Yellow Gate, Du Shu suggested that the assassin should not be in charge of military power, but should specialize in government affairs, develop the economy, and care for the people.
At the same time, he also wrote that the evaluation system of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was very inappropriate, and that internal and external officials should be evaluated by their political performance, and then promoted and promoted officials based on merit and inferiority.
Not to mention the first article, even the second article has already offended all the court sergeants.
You must know that the nine-rank Zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun at the beginning was to allow the scholars to completely control the promotion channels of the world's scholars.
In the DPRK and in the locality, there is a great zhongzheng, and if you want to enter the court as an official or be promoted, you must be recognized and recommended by the great zhongzheng.
And Dazhongzheng is generally served by celebrities, so what about celebrities? Naturally, all of them are highly respected people among the scholars.
In the Han Dynasty, where the imperial examination system did not arise, this nine-grade Zhongzheng system simply put the selection of court officials in the hands of the scholars.
Since then, the poor students have no chance to be promoted, or they will devote themselves to the scholar clan and become the lackey of the scholar clan.
Honestly rely on the scholars, otherwise no matter how talented you are, you will not have the slightest chance to be an official.
The road to promotion has been blocked, which means that the nobles can enslave the people of the world at will, and no one will stand up to cry out for the people.
Because these people are all vested interests, no one will stand up against a system that is beneficial to him, unless he is a fool.
However, Du Shu is this kind of fool, so he is not tolerated by the scholars, so he can only run to a remote place like Fufeng County.
After all, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and now that Du Shu wants to cut off the rights of the family, how can the family give him a good face?
"Where is Du Shilang now?"
Liu Yu originally thought that if he had the opportunity, it would be okay to meet Du Shu, after all, Du Shu was loyal to Cao Wei, not the father and son of the Sima family.
If the Sima family's father and son usurp power in the future, maybe there will be a chance to join forces with Du Shu.
However, after this sentence was asked, Du Ran was a little hesitant, vague, and unwilling to answer.
Liu Yu immediately realized that something was wrong, and shouted:
"Where's Du Shu?"
"My uncle is in the Dock Castle, but... But..."
Du Lan was stuck again in the end, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
"But what?"
Liu Yu had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still wanted to know the exact news from Du Lan's mouth.
"But my uncle plans to send troops to rescue Yongcheng."
Du Lan didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he could only tell the truth.
When Liu Yu heard this, he was shocked, but he didn't expect that at this time, there were still people who dared to rescue Yongcheng.
You must know that in Fufeng County today, the soldiers and horses have been exhausted by Sima Yi, even if they really send hundreds of people to rescue Yongcheng, the result is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.
But for the Du family, if Yongcheng is broken by Jiang Wei, the Du family will inevitably be left behind.
After all, the Du family may be the only one who dares to support Yongcheng, if they don't kill chickens and monkeys, the offensive of the Shu army will be very troublesome.
However, regardless of the Du family, Liu Yu's mission was to intercept the enemy in the north.
Liu Yu would definitely not let the Du family pass through his own defense line and enter Yongcheng.
Immediately, Liu Yu tied up Du Lan and threw him on the horse, and he turned to return to the camp.
The matter is urgent, Liu Yu must immediately lead the army to Dujiawu Fort, and he can't let the Du family really send troops to aid Yongcheng, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Before long, Liu Yu took a thousand soldiers and horses, under the command of Du Lan, and rushed towards Dujiawu Fort.
Liu Yu wants to show an attitude to the Du family, and if he stays in the dock fort honestly, he will naturally be safe and sound.
But if you dare to come out, you are looking for death.
When Liu Yu rushed to the vicinity of Dujiawu Fort with the fierce Shu army, he was caught off guard by the situation in front of him.
