Chapter 644: A Visitor from the Gao Family
On the second day of the eighth month of the 16th year of the Marquis of Wei, Wu'an.
As the capital of Wei State, Wu'an has always been a place where news flows quickly.
After the news of the fall of Peiping Pass just came, it spread to the upper class within a day and quickly spread to the lower class.
In the eyes of the Wei people, the Huns were always tigers and wolves. Last year, they entered the pass and suffered a great disaster. Fortunately, Wu Yangjun drove all these cruel people out.
Now that the Huns are fighting in again, who can resist them? Will the Lingbei Camp be defeated by the defeated battle?
As a result, a sense of crisis began to spread in Wu'an City, and people were also very dissatisfied with the defeated Wu Mingyan.
Of course, the Wei people's sense of crisis was just an introduction to the defeat of the Lingbei Camp, and was more affected by the current trend.
Now Qin and Chu, which are west of Wei, have fought with the Wei army many times and have won and lost each other. Now that the Huns have broken through Yanshan again, Wei is in a state of being attacked from both sides.
At this time last year, although Qin and Chu were also aggressive, the scale of their real attack was not as large as the current one, and all Wei people would have a vague sense of crisis.
However, this sense of crisis was quickly suppressed by another question, which was to discuss who should go to Yanshan to clean up the mess.
At the beginning, there was basically only one point, that was, to invite Wu Yangjun to come out of the mountain and return to the Lingbei camp to fight against the Huns.
But later, another voice pointed out that when a veteran was on the move, Gao Chengde, who had won many battles between Qi and Lu, was pushed to the front.
This is of course a play arranged by the aristocratic race, in order to build momentum for Gao Chengde who is about to return to the court.
So, in the discussion on who went to Yanshan to clean up the mess, the candidates were arguing between Gao Chengde and Wei Wuji.
The heat of debate finally reached its highest today, because today is the day when Gao Zhuguo returned to the court.
Unlike many people expected, after the acquisition of Lu State, Gao Chengde did not follow his army to support the Qin and Chu front in all respects, nor did he take charge of Lu State and Xiangping County.
In fact, this is the first time that Gao Zhuguo, who went out to fight, has returned to the North Korea three years later.
Among the few people at the peak of Wei's power, Gao Chengde can be said to be the one with the weakest sense of existence. He seemed to have no other topics except for war.
Today, under the deliberate push of some people, Gao Chengde suddenly became popular in Wu'an.
Although Gao Chengde returned with great victory, Wei Wuji's own mass base was not bad, so the two voices still fought equally.
However, this is the remarks of ordinary people after all. Although it can reflect some problems, the final decision was made in the court.
Therefore, when the people were talking about military and national affairs, the lively nobles and nobles in the Gaofu were not idle at this time.
As one of the three generals of the pillar state, Gao Chengde's mansion was also extraordinary, and it was decorated with lights.
Gao Chengde's eldest son Gao Changcheng was greeting guests at the gate of the mansion, and next to him was Young Master Gao Yang who was forced to call together.
"Father, our family is really amazing. Grandpa has just returned. Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang families have all sent people!" Gao Yang took advantage of the gap when no one was around to say to his father.
He also felt a rare and serious expression, in order to pretend to be mature in front of his father and then lift his confinement.
But Gao Yang didn't know that when he heard the four families of Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang, there was a flash of worries in his father's eyes.
Then, Gao Changcheng asked his son: "Do you think it's a good thing for these four families to come to us?"
Gao Yang suddenly felt speechless. Isn’t that the case? These four families are more prominent than their own. Isn’t it a good thing that allows these people to visit together?
But Gao Yang was not stupid either. He knew that his father must have his own opinions, so he respectfully said: "The child is stupid, please ask his father for advice!"
Gao Changcheng sighed and said, "Some things should be experienced by yourself... I can't protect you for the rest of your life for your father!"
Seeing his father like this, Gao Yang felt even more unaware of why he was sad when he was a happy and triumphant life!
Gao Changcheng looked back to the depths of the courtyard wall, and the trouble was just there!
Yes, in Gao Changcheng's opinion, these four companies are in trouble. Just look at what Wu Mingyan is doing.
As one of the three pillar countries, Wu Mingyan is now in a difficult situation in the struggle between poor families.
Combined with the current public opinion in Wu'an, Gao Changcheng doesn't have to think about the purpose of these people coming to visit.
…………
In the inner palace, Gao Chengde, who had just returned, had to welcome several important guests before he took off his armor.
These people are the descendants of the four families of Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang. Anyway, this is true in front of Gao Chengde. On weekdays, these people are called brothers and brothers with Gao Changcheng.
This includes Mrs. Wei's brother, Xie Chang, the heir to the head of the Xie family. Today he also speaks on behalf of the four families.
After saying many polite words and praised Gao Chengde's military achievements in a scattered manner, Xie Chang inadvertently said: "Uncle, can you tell me what the situation in Yanshan is now!"
Although these juniors praised them as being praised by them, these were like breezes blowing on their faces, and they did not cause any turmoil in his heart.
Therefore, when asked about the situation in Yanshan, Gao Chengde still answered clearly: "I heard that the Huns had already attacked the Great Wall. The Lingbei Camp can only rely on the city to defend. I believe that Yanshan is already rampant!"
In fact, Gao Chengde could also guess the purpose of these little sad trips, but the rules were that, so he could only cooperate with the acting.
"Yes, now the soldiers and civilians in Yanshan are trapped in water and fire, and we are all worried, wishing to hold our swords and save thousands of celebrities!" Xie Chang said sadly.
At this time, the few people listening next to him were also in line with each other, and they all said how they were worried about the situation in Yanshan.
"A few nephews are too worried! I heard that the emperor issued an edict two days ago to send troops to the nearby counties and counties in Yanshan, and reinforcements from the Wu'an camp also headed north!" Gao Chengde said calmly.
Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Besides, Wu Zhuguo is in charge of Yanshan, I believe the Huns can't make any big waves!"
Xie Chang glanced at Gao Chengde's face as if he was Wubo, and cursed the old fox in his heart. This is a rhythm that is not a trap at all!
For a long time, the four families have been criticized for the Gao family's attitude of not helping each other in the dispute between the aristocratic and poor families.
Seeing that Gao Chengde was still unrelated to his affairs, Xie Chang also lost his patience and said directly: "Wu Zhuguo is now defeated. If his uncle can go to Yanshan to help, the Hu people will definitely not be able to make trouble!"
Gao Chengde couldn't help but be stunned. Just as these people were thinking, Gao Chengde suddenly asked, "Is this what you mean, or what your elders mean?"
Before these people could answer, Gao Chengde continued: "If it is what your elders mean, then let them talk to me in person. You juniors... have some things that cannot be decided!"
Xie Chang and others were speechless. Gao Chengde was a typical scoundrel, and he was somewhat dependent on his seniority.
In fact, their elders don’t want to come, but they also want to avoid suspicion.
If the four of their families who are really in charge of the matter come to Gao Mansion today, it will be difficult to guarantee that the Marquis of Wei will not be suspicious of anything, and that will be a big deal.
Gao Chengde also knew this and used this to block the younger generation in front of him back.
I want to talk to me, yes, but I have to let your elders come.
