"Tuoba Liwei has many sons."

"But there are only four people who really have the right to inherit."

Along the way, Duan Qizhen was talking about the situation of the Tuoba Department, and he said seriously: "Liwei has changed the way of inheritance in the past. ”

"In the past, the choice of the successor was personally appointed by the adult, and whoever he liked, who could become the successor would have a greater chance, but Liwei stipulated that the eldest son must inherit the Xianbei tribe, and most of the Xianbei tribes adopted the method of brother to brother."

"But if a leader has too many children, it creates some confusion."

"Liwei then made a lot of provisions for the successor"

Wen Yang listened to Duan Qizhen's talk about the situation of each ministry with relish, and at this moment, Zu Wu suddenly asked: "Duan Gong, I have always wanted to know, what is the situation of this Yuwen Ministry?" ”

There are many tribes in Xianbei, and in the north, it is not just the three of them, in fact, there are many more, and the Yuwen Department is one of them.

The Yuwen Department was not in the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they were sandwiched between the Duan Department and the Tuoba Department.

This time, from the Duan Department to the Tuoba Department, you have to pass through the territory of the Yuwen Ministry, and the Yuwen Department has been very low-key in these years?

They hardly have any dealings with any tribes, they are very low-key, and they have never robbed anyone, and they have heard that they don't have much contact with the Xianbei tribes, so they are invisible.

This makes Da Wei know very little about them.

How much less?

Da Wei doesn't even know what the adult of Yuwen Xianbei is called!

Duan Qizhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zu Wu's inquiry, "You are asking the right person, the situation of this Yuwen Department, the entire Great Wei, there are really not many people who know!" ”

"Actually, this Yuwen Department is not a Xianbei tribe."

"Huh??"

Wen Yang was taken aback, "Could it be that they were also formed by local people?" ”

Duan Qizhen replied: "They are Huns. ”

"Huns?? How is this possible? ”

Duan Qizhen explained seriously, it turned out that this was a group of Huns who ran out, and after running here, they were besieged by several Xianbei tribes, so they began to Xianbei, that is, they were Xianbei Huns.

But their language is completely different from that of the Xianbei people around them, and their customs are not similar at all.

Except for the nominally known as the Xianbei tribe, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Xianbei in fact.

Moreover, they also kept a distance from the several tribes of Xianbei, never interacting with them, and only developed their own with peace of mind, because they were in the middle of the three major tribes, many of them could not mix in their own tribes, and those who offended the authorities ran here, and over time, the development of the Yuwen Department became more and more rapid.

According to Duan Qizhen, their current adult is very old, he is a kind and generous old man, who has restrained the clan over the years, does not expand outward, only farms with peace of mind, and is kind to others.

But his eldest son, Yuwen Mohuai, was a very murderous young man with great ambitions.

While the two sides were talking about these things, Wen Yang's scouts noticed that there were cavalry approaching in the distance.

Although Wen Yang had no idea of fighting, he still ordered the knights to line up and prepare to charge.

And this cavalry close to them was the cavalry of the Yuwen Department that Fang just mentioned.

The leader of the troops was a young man, who looked no more than in his early twenties, full of vigor and bright eyes.

He only brought a few hundred cavalry, and when he saw the huge army in front of him, panic flashed in his eyes, but he did not feel afraid, and he rode forward alone.

"This is the territory of my Yuwen Department, I don't know what the general commands?"

As soon as this person opened his mouth, he was fluent in elegant language, which made Wen Yang and the others a little surprised.

Wen Yang didn't speak, Duan Qizhen hurriedly stepped forward, "Virtuous nephew, do you remember me?!" ”

When the man saw Duan Qizhen, he hurriedly saluted, "It turned out to be uncle!" ”

Duan Qizhen looked at Wen Yang and the others, and explained: "This person is the second son of Lord Yuwenbu, called Yuwen Pupa."

Duan Qizhen said with a smile: "Pupai, this is General Pingbei of the Great Wei, he is going to the Tuoba Department, and I will lead the way for them, so I passed through here." ”

Yu Wenpu suddenly realized, "Uncle, in this case, I am willing to lead the way for you, my department is weak, and there are thieves in the territory, so as not to disturb the general and others." ”

This guy can still speak, obviously he wants to watch them leave his own situation, but he said it so tactfully.

Next, this guy followed them and led them towards the side of the Tuoba.

Wen Yang tried to ask, "I happened to be passing by this time, I wonder if I can meet your father?" ”

Pu said very sadly: "General, my father is ill and I can't meet the guests at this moment, and when my father recovers, I will definitely send someone to inform the general." ”

Wen Yang had no choice but to give up.

They have been on the road for a long time, but this guy didn't reveal his situation at all, and he didn't even meet any people from the Yuwen Department along the way, maybe they were all bypassed by him.

When they left the country, Yu Wenpu saluted again and again, and sincerely said that in the future, when his father's condition improved, he would definitely invite Wenyang and others to come.

After leaving here, Wen Yang said, "I really don't want to interact with the outside world." ”

"But there's no rudeness to it."

"Do you know how many troops they have?"

Duan Bu pondered for a moment and replied: "In the past, it was inferior to ours, but to what extent it has reached over the years, I don't know, they are in the border of the three departments, and many people have fled there over the years, and some people from our department have fled here. ”

While they were talking about Yuwen, Takuba had already noticed their movements.

The Tuoba tribe close to the border quickly began to migrate, and the news was spread to Tuoba Liwei's side, and Liwei hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Knowing that the Wei army suddenly appeared, everyone had different ideas.

Li Wei can vaguely understand the other party's intentions.

The comers are not good.

Previously, Yanghu wrote to himself asking for trade, but he did not agree, and then this army appeared in the territory, which was to demonstrate to himself?

Liwei only felt tired.

There are so many things in the country that haven't been solved yet, and this Yanghu has begun to look for trouble again.

So what's next?

Is it to send someone to fight back?

Liwei thought about it, and gave up this plan, this is not appropriate, maybe that Yanghu just wants to let himself fight back, and then there is a reason to attack himself?

The son once wrote to himself, saying that the generals of the Great Wei were very restless, because they all needed military merits to be promoted to knighthood, so they were all very belligerent and hoped to provoke war.

also told what they did in Yongliang.

After Li Wei learned about Deng Ai and Shi Bao's behavior, he was particularly jealous of these generals.

But these generals under his command are far less calm than Li Wei.

They were furious.

"We sent the prince to Wei to make friends with them, and they actually led people into our territory without telling them!"

"Too much deception!"

"It should be fought back!"

The crowd shouted.

Liwei's attitude towards them was tacit, but in fact, Tuoba had a lot of dissatisfaction with Wei State, and this dissatisfaction was the result of Liwei's push.

On the one hand, Liwei adopted a policy of active friendship with Wei, and on the other hand, he secretly promoted hatred of Wei among the domestic aristocracy.

The reason why he did this was also because he was worried that over-emulating Wei's policies would lead to a large number of pro-Wei factions in the country, and finally let himself be sent to Luoyang to retire like the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Although Li Wei is old, he does not have the twilight of old age at all, on the contrary, he is more ambitious than Desert Khan, he is unwilling to be sent to retire, he is determined to create a great cause that is bigger than the Xianbei adults in the past.

During these years, Tuoba Liwei, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, continued to expand its territory, gradually occupying the vast grasslands of northern Cao Wei, and became a huge force second only to Wei.

In terms of territory alone, Duan Bu and Murong are not worthy of lifting shoes for him.

Tuoba Liwei even sent people to contact the bald Xianbei in the northwest for a time, hoping to pull them into his tribal alliance, so that his territory could catch up with the original Xiongnu alliance.

It's a pity that before this idea could be implemented, the baldness was destroyed by Deng Ai.

Small clans after all.

It's also understandable.

Li Wei looked at his excited subordinates and said, "Don't panic, let alone thousands of cavalry, even tens of thousands, what do we have to fear?" ”

"Prepare armor for me, I want to go and see in person what this general of Wei wants to do!"

Hearing Liwei's words, everyone was shocked, and they all wanted to persuade Liwei to let them go.

Li Wei said solemnly: "Although I am old, I will not even be able to get on the horse!" ”

The crowd did not dare to persuade any more.

Li Wei put on his armor, got on his horse, and then led the elite cavalry and galloped in the direction of the Wei army.

Liwei was very strong, which made his subordinates respect him even more, but Liwei went this time, but not to fight against the Wei army.

When the two sides came into contact, both sides invariably stopped.

Wen Yang looked at the mighty cavalry in the distance, his eyes were full of surprise.

Sure enough, this big tribe is different!

This is cavalry!

This is different from the armed herdsmen of Duanbu and Murong, these people are real cavalry, at first glance, they have fought and killed people, and they are violent, and he doesn't know how many people there are on the other side, anyway, he can't see the edge after the formation is lined up, and he thinks that there are more than 10,000 people.

Dressed in extravagant armor, Tuoba Liwei was at the forefront of the army.

And after he saw the other party, his expression was not so calm.

He saw a murderous cavalry corps, these formations were so tightly aligned that even the horses were not in a misaligned position, and it was terrifying to look at.

Does this Wei really want to go to war with himself??

Li Wei's thoughts at the moment were a little shaken.
