Chapter 109: What is the price?
There were more than 20 people here.
There are old and young, and there is even an older woman, and their appearance and dress are all varied.
Wen Yang looked at these people, and finally looked at the chief sitting beside him.
He opened his mouth and said: "I was appointed as General Pingbei, and I was ordered by General Zhenbei to inspect the border fortress and crusade against thieves. ”
Hearing this, Duan Qizhen was taken aback, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "General! We've never plundered! We are all self-sufficient, we have never robbed anyone, we are not thieves! ”
"Duan Jun, don't panic, I'm just here to inspect, not to say that you are the thief!"
Wen Yang comforted, and Duan Qizhen hurriedly brought wine and food.
Looking at the good wine and meat in front of him, for some reason, Wen Yang was a little unappetizing.
Maybe it's because staying here always reminds me of what the pioneers of this tribe did
However, seeing that the other party nodded and handed the wine to him, Wen Yang couldn't lose Da Wei's face, he simply picked up the wine jug, drank it all, and then picked up the beef, and bit a large piece of meat in one bite.
Seeing Wen Yang's fierce appearance, everyone was a little shocked.
Duan Qizhen's attitude towards him was even more enthusiastic.
Wen Yang immediately told them about his experience, talking about his many feats in the past, these people were also dumbfounded, Wen Yang drank some wine, his body was hot, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
The banquet was very lively, and everyone present came to toast Wen Yang one after another.
Duan Qizhen respected the most, but he didn't dare to get drunk.
Wen Yang didn't know how much wine he drank, and the whole person was dizzy, he took Duan Qizhen's hand on the side, and his speech was a little unsharp.
"I think you're a good person, let me tell you the truth, the Xiongnu over there have been completely attached to the Great Wei, their nobles have become the officials and nobles of the Great Wei, and their people have been allocated to the public land, have a household registration, move into the city, and have a residence!"
"I see, it is only a matter of time before you come, and when the time comes, if you do not want to, then flee from here, and do not meet me, lest we be embarrassed!"
Wen Yang was domineering and said these things loudly.
Hearing these words, Duan Qizhen's eyes did not have the slightest fear, he suddenly became ecstatic and grabbed Wen Yang's hand.
"General, is that really the case?!"
"What?"
Wen Yang's wine seemed to be awake, and he looked at Duan Qizhen in dismay.
Not only Duan Qizhen, but several nobles around him were also staring at Wen Yang with fiery eyes at the moment.
"General"
Duan Qizhen looked a little embarrassed, he hesitated and said, "I don't know what we have to do to make us merge into the Great Wei like the Xiongnu?" ”
Wen Yang was dumbfounded at the moment.
He wasn't all drunk, he just said that to test the reaction of these people.
But he never thought that it would be such a reaction.
This is begging to be incorporated into the Great Wei??
No, shouldn't you be attached to your power?
Wen Yang opened his mouth and said, "You know what I'm talking about, right? ”
"Of course I do!"
"It's that you give up your status and land and become officials and lords of Great Wei, but you can't continue to stay here."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The more Duan Qizhen listened, the more excited she became.
"General Wen, how can we incorporate it?"
Wen Yang looked around and said vigilantly: "Then you guys should tell me, why do you want to merge into my Great Wei?" ”
Duan Qizhen looked around, only a few people were left, and then the door was closed.
"General Wen, you don't know anything."
Duan Qizhen's face was full of bitterness.
He opened his mouth to talk about the current situation of Duan Bu.
Wen Yang listened to his story, and gradually understood why they had such an attitude.
Unlike other tribes, the formation of the Duan tribe was completely a group of refugees gathered together, and they were forced to form.
And after it was founded, because of the unique way it was formed, they were in an environment that was not accepted.
Murong Xianbei and other tribes did not regard them as serious Xianbei tribes, and were unwilling to have too much contact with them, and even often sent troops to bully them and plunder their supplies.
Murong didn't dare to make a move against Da Wei, and there was still no pressure on him to make a move.
Over the years, Murong has been encroaching step by step, making Duan Bu extremely flustered.
On the side of Great Wei, they are also not taken seriously, because compared to Murong and other Xianbei tribes, their strength is not enough.
Murong can make up 30,000 elite cavalry to fight, and Duan can also make up 30,000 cavalry, and whether the elite is elite or not is open to debate.
The difference between elite cavalry and herdsmen is not small.
The consequence is that they are rejected by both sides, and they have not been able to find a backer, and the north is getting colder and colder, covered with ice and snow, and the life of these nobles here is simply miserable.
For them, if they can go to the Central Plains and become officials of the Great Wei, it will be a great gift.
It's much more comfortable than what you do here!
Duan Qizhen took Wen Yang's hand and told about the suffering of her tribe, and almost burst into tears as she spoke.
Wen Yang was silent for a long time before he said: "Since you have such thoughts, then after I go back, I will tell Your Majesty that if Your Majesty is gracious, maybe you can be like the Huns." ”
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! ”
Duan Qizhen bowed again and again.
Wen Yang suddenly asked, "You just said that the Murong Ministry has a lot of disputes with you, what is the situation with the Murong Ministry?" ”
Speaking of this question, Duan Qizhen's face showed some hesitation.
He pondered for a moment before he said, "General, this is really not easy to say. ”
"It's okay, you just say it!"
After getting Wen Yang's favor, Duan Qizhen said: "The old adults of the Murong Department were called Mo Huba, because he liked to wear a step and shake the crown, so his tribe was called Murong, and these two words are very similar. ”
"When General Biqiu was crusading against Saiwai, this person and his eldest son took the lead and made great achievements, and both generations were rewarded by the temple and became the king of righteousness canonized by the temple."
"Their current adult, called Murong Shegui, he is the grandson of Mo Huba, after he ascended the throne, he moved the capital from Thorn City to Liaodong, he continued to annex various tribes, increase his strength, known as Xianbei Dadan, in a vain attempt to order all the tribes of Xianbei, to become all the Xianbei adults."
Wen Yang slowly frowned.
"So, that's an ambitious man."
Duan Qizhen said helplessly: "The general doesn't know, when his father was still in power, he had close contacts with us and had a very close relationship, but after he took the throne, he began to make enemies with us, they came to take away our people from time to time, and our caravan did not dare to go to Liaodong."
Duan Qizhen talked about the other party's many evil deeds.
Wen Yang's face became more and more ugly.
This righteous king, who was divided by the temple at the beginning, now dares to call himself a big single Yu.
This is obviously to break with Great Wei.
Seeing Wen Yang's expression, Duan Qizhen hurriedly said, "General, if you are going to crusade against their tribe, I am willing to lead the troops to go together!" ”
When Wen Yang heard this, he immediately raised his head and laughed.
"To deal with a little Murong, do you still need others to help?"
"Prepare a guide for me tomorrow, I will go to the Murong Department and ask the chief face to face to see if he is the King of Great Wei or the Great Shan Yu of Xianbei!"
Duan Qizhen hurriedly said: "General, you only brought a few hundred cavalry"
"Oh, that's enough!"
Wen Yang turned around and went to rest, and Duan Qizhen didn't want to say anything more, just sighed.
It's rare to meet a noble person who is willing to accept him, I hope that the other party won't have an accident, perhaps, when the time comes, I will have to take the army to pick it up, so as not to cause any major incidents.
Speaking of which, Duan Qizhen also really hates this neighbor.
If he hadn't heard about the internal relocation from Wen Yang's mouth, he wouldn't have told the Murong Department about it, and maybe he would have to cover it up for them.
This is because both of them are tribes that were rewarded together for helping the Great Wei, and if the Morong Department no longer has the trust of the temple and the temple decides to send troops, then their Duan Department will also be beaten.
After all, in the eyes of the nobles in Luoyang, there is no difference between the Duan Department and the Murong Department, they are just mercenaries at the beginning, and they will fight together.
The next day, Wen Yang got up early, and Duan Qizhen also stood guard at the door.
Wen Yang walked out and asked, "Is the guide ready?" ”
Duan Qizhen raised his head suddenly, "I'm willing to go with the general!" ”
Wen Yang was a little surprised, he looked at Duan Qizhen, and said with a smile: "If you do something with them at that time, I can't take care of you!" ”
Duan Qizhen's face was very calm, and he said seriously: "General, don't worry, if there is a war, I will charge before the general!" ”
Wen Yang laughed again, and then asked him to get ready, and left Liaoxi together, heading towards Liaodong.
And along the way, the climate has become colder and colder.
There seem to be fewer Han people here in Liaodong than in Liaoxi, and Wenyang has not encountered a few caravans or pedestrians along the way.
When they swaggered into Liaodong County, they immediately attracted the attention of the Murong Department.
And Murong Bu's reaction was completely different from Duanbu's.
When they learned that a general of Wei had entered Liaodong, they immediately dispatched troops and began to guard various checkpoints, and at the same time sent people to negotiate.
The man who came to negotiate raised his head high and wrote his arrogance on his face.
He controlled the horse and came to Wen Yang and the others unhurriedly, and his arrogance was still undiminished.
Duan Qizhen said in a low voice: "This is the son of Shegui, named Tuyuhun." ”
Wen Yang looked at the kid in the distance, and then became furious.
"How dare you be so rude in front of me?!"
He unleashed his bow and fired an arrow at the boy in the distance.
Duan Qizhen's eyes were about to fall off.
Murong Tuguhun didn't say anything, he was hit by an arrow first, and fell off his horse with a scream.
Suddenly, the cavalry of the Murong Department was boiling.
