Chapter 630
In Jizhou Mansion, the dark tide is surging.

During the day, tens of thousands of Cao Jun cavalry besieged Jizhou Mansion, and Cao Jun set up camp outside the city.

Since Cao's army was in camp, it was difficult for them to fight in the field.

The gates of the four lower cities of Jizhou Prefecture were closed, and hundreds of thousands of residents besieged the city.

The siege was too sudden, and it was fine a few days ago. Although there was a fight with the people of Youzhou in the north, it is Youzhou after all, and it is still hundreds or even thousands of miles away from here, and many residents feel that it is very far away.

As a result, within a few days, people from Youzhou came, and with them was the defeated Jizhou Army.

So weak and vulnerable?
Before the Jizhou army set off, the people in Jizhou Prefecture didn't think so.

At that time, with the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers, many officials and nobles praised the Jizhou army for its majesty and well-trained. This time, they will definitely be able to repel the Zhenbei army in a battle, so that the people of Youzhou can also know how powerful the Jizhou people are.

Unexpectedly, this was defeated, and it turned out that those who turned back and sprayed on the Jizhou Army were the same group of people who cheered for the Jizhou Army before.

"In the final analysis, Zhencang is still an idiot, with an army of [-], he was defeated by Cao Jun overnight."

"Even if Cao Jun chops [-] pigs, it will take three days and three nights, right?"

"It was I who went out to fight Cao Jun. Cao Jun came on an expedition, but there were only a few tens of thousands of people, and the distance was long and the boats and vehicles were exhausted. It was a good opportunity to win a battle."

There was a lot of discussion in the city, and some families in the city who were dissatisfied with Pu Chengye seemed to have a little change.

In the Gao family in Jizhou Prefecture, the 37-year-old Gao Lin can be regarded as the young helm of the new generation of the Gao family.

The Gao family has been passed down in Jizhou for hundreds of years. In the early years, the Gao family was a surname from Youzhou. Later, due to natural and man-made disasters, the Gao family migrated south, and then came to Jizhou Prefecture and took root in Jizhou Prefecture.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, who still remembers that the Gao family came from Youzhou?

Only the Gao family themselves.

In recent years, the Gao family has been weak in Jizhou Prefecture. When Gao Lin took the position of head of the Gao family, his father, Mr. Gao, died in Xinghualou in the city.

This Xinghualou is the property of the Zhang family in the city, and Mr. Gao died there because of an accidental death due to the struggle between the Jianghu people.

Logically, the Zhang family should give some explanation to the Gao family, at least they should send out a few important people to send the old man Gao to his end.

But the Zhang family is the first family in Jizhou Prefecture, and the Zhang family in Jizhou is closely related to Pu Chengye and Rong Taiwei.

In the end, the Zhang family gave the Gao family hundreds of taels of silver like sending off beggars, without even apologizing.

This incident made the entire Gao family the laughing stock of Jizhou Mansion, and later became Gao Lin's superior.

After Gao Lin came to power, the entire Gao family did not change much. When the old man was there, the Gao family still had a bit of a face. After the old man left, the major families in Jizhou Prefecture bullied him when he was young. The Gao family was hit everywhere, and the property continued to shrink. .

Fortunately, years ago, with the help of a good friend, the Gao family got involved in a fur business from Youzhou.

This fur business seems to be a small business, but the profit is very high. The Gao family has made a lot of money in the past six months since they started this business. A few days ago, there was a truckload of fur goods that were about to be shipped to Jizhou. sold.

Unexpectedly, Jizhou and Youzhou would go to war directly. Before the goods arrived, there would be no more.

At this time, Gao Lin was sitting alone in the hall of the Gao family, holding a note tightly in his hand. He dismissed the servants and guards in the hall, and the whole hall was extremely quiet, and he could even hear His own breathing and heartbeat.

During the day when the Zhenbei Army came, Gao Lin, like other dignitaries in the city, climbed up the high wall and took a look outside.

The Zhenbei army outside is naturally extremely majestic, the black armor and black cavalry are mighty, and the blood gathered by the warriors is like a soaring blue dragon, full of evil spirits.

Gao Lin got down from the city wall and walked past many soldiers in the palace.

Unexpectedly, he got a note in his hand that he didn't know where. His heart trembled, and he went all the way back to the Gao family compound with the note in his hand. After opening it, there were four words written on it——

"Zishi Gaojia".

There was still a signature on it. After reading it, Gao Lin immediately dismissed all the servants in the hall.

Because the word "Cao Su" was written on the signature.

There are many people named Cao Su in the world, but at this moment, in this situation, who else can appear in Jizhou Mansion?

The answer was ready to come out, Gao Lin was struck by lightning, Cao Su wanted to come to him?Zishi Gao's family?

Gao Lin's first reaction was to report to the official, and hurriedly told Pu Chengye, Mr. Pu.

However, he soon realized something was wrong.

This is Cao Su, the world's top first-rank martial artist, a dignified general who suppresses the north.

Cao Su wanted to come to him, but he told Pu Chengye backhandedly, once Cao Su was annoyed, Cao Su would go crazy, wouldn't it be easy to destroy a small Gao family?
As a first-rank martial artist, only Zhen Cang in the city can stop one or two people. If other people meet Cao Su alone, they will be dead anyway.

You can't go to Pu Chengye, at least you can't go to Pu Chengye before you meet Cao Su.

This was Gao Lin's judgment, and he felt somewhat aggrieved in his heart.

After a long time, he figured it out again, this is the way of the world.

It's impossible to reason. Only when your fist is as big as your fist can you reason with you. There is a gap in level. It really doesn't make sense at all.

Pu Chengye couldn't afford to provoke him, and Cao Su couldn't afford to provoke him even more.

So he could only obediently wait at home, probably already having a glimmer of anticipation of Cao Su's arrival in his heart.

This was the night that made Gao Lin feel the most disturbed. It was the Zhenbei Army who passed the note to him.

Did the Zhenbei Army even plant eyeliner in the Jizhou Prefecture Army?

The more he thought about it, he suddenly felt that the entire Jizhou Mansion was like a puddle of muddy water, and anyone might lose their wealth and lives in this turmoil.

With a very disturbed and complicated mood, he stayed in the hall until midnight.

As soon as midnight arrived, Gao Lin subconsciously walked out of the hall and looked outside the room.

In the rustling courtyard, it was empty, and no one came.

"Not coming? Could it be that you are cheating on me?"

Gao Lin was stunned, the courtyard was very quiet, and no one came.

What's the point?Didn't we agree on Zishi?For Zishi's meeting, he dismissed all the servants and guards, which can be said to be full of sincerity, there is no reason for the other party to put pigeons on him, right?

He waited in the yard for a long time, but there was no movement, and suddenly showed a more complicated expression.

"Hey--"

He heaved a long sigh, finally letting go of a stone in his heart.

When he was about to turn his head and go back to the room, a laughter suddenly came from his ears: "Patriarch Gao is very determined."

The laughter was very soft, but it clearly appeared in Gao Lin's ears.

Gao Lin's martial arts are average, and he is only at the eighth or ninth rank of the strength realm. At his age, he is only at the lower rank of the strength realm. In this life, he will only be at the lower rank of the strength realm.

But even at the eighth and ninth ranks, he is also among the top two existences in the entire Gao family, second only to a young junior of the Gao family, the young general Gao Lan who is now serving in the Jizhou government army.

Gao Lin never thought that someone could touch his side so silently.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see a tall man in black armor looking at him with a half-smile, only a step away from him.

This man was as tall as a mountain, and after wearing the black black armor, a wave of evil spirit from a veteran in the battlefield rushed towards his face.

With just one glance, Gao Lin felt as if the whole world was about to collapse. He couldn't even control his breathing and heartbeat. From his perspective, the black-armored man who appeared suddenly seemed to be able to crush him with just one look. pressure.

"Cao Cao Town North."

How could Gao Lin not know that this was the commander of Zhenbei Army.

Cao Su really came to Gao's house and touched his yard directly.

This... This can no longer be described as a lone army going deep. It is like sending the head to the Jizhou army, and it depends on whether the Jizhou army can chop it off.

The Jizhou army obviously couldn't cut it down, and it might not even know it.

"It seems that you have recognized me, Master Gao is a smart man."

Cao Su smiled slightly, and the white shadow beside him flashed past.

Gao Lin didn't understand why Cao Su could suddenly appear in the city, even in his home, without disturbing Jizhou's tight protective net. Isn't it said that there are more than a hundred monks watching day and night in this city, and not a single fly can fly in? ?
There was no need for Cao Su to explain to Gao Lin what the "teleportation and movement formation" was. It would be beneficial for both parties to maintain a sense of mystery.

He walked straight into the hall, regardless of Gao Lin behind him.

Gao Lin was taken aback for a moment, and hurried in with Cao Su, who was "anti-client".

Cao Su took the chief seat unceremoniously, and Gao Lin's seat was taken away. He was so embarrassed that he had to stand in front of Cao Su.

"Patriarch Gao is a smart man."

Cao Su reiterated the argument that Gao Lin is a "smart person": "The servants and guards in the dismissal hall did a good job. It can be seen that the owner is a careful and decent person. No wonder he can cooperate with Cao."

Gao Lin was stunned, how did he get things done when he came up?Don't you know the reason why I dismissed the servant guard?Is it because you are worried about leaking the news?

He kept complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much expression on his face. After seeing Cao Su sitting in the chief seat, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's a great honor for Cao Zhenbei to come to my Gao family late at night, but my Gao family is just Jizhou. It’s just a small family in the mansion, how can we cooperate with the general?”

The high-sounding act of fear, worried that the entire Gao family would be brought to a point of no return, so before Cao Su proposed how to cooperate, Gao Lin had already tried his best to politely reject Cao Su, but he was afraid of angering Cao Su, so his speech was beating around the bush. , is not easy.

Cao Su couldn't help laughing. Of course, he was clear about the thoughts of this small family.

Hearing this, he was not in a hurry to put pressure on him, and asked instead: "Patriarch Gao is too modest. The Gao family has cooperated with Cao in the fur business for more than half a year. This fur was sold to the south of the Yangtze River on Gao's boat, but Patriarch Gao proposed It is a wonderful business route, and Cao has made a lot of money because of it."

"Ah this."

Gao Lin was dumbfounded. After listening to Cao Su's words, he immediately stayed where he was.

Fur business?The fur business that has earned a lot of money for more than half a year is actually cooperating with Cao Su?

He shuddered instantly. No wonder, no wonder merchants from Youzhou approached him. No wonder he was able to earn so much after the opening of this business route. Is this all under Cao Su's instruction?

His face turned slightly pale. He didn't expect that he had been secretly cooperating with Cao Su for so long?
If Pu Chengye finds out about this
Cao Su waited for Gao Lin to digest the information, and then laughed again: "Patriarch Gao, sooner or later this Jizhou mansion will belong to me, Cao. The Gao family is in the Jizhou mansion, so it doesn't seem to be a first-class family!"

Cao Su pretended to be puzzled as if he had come to Jizhou Mansion for the first time, and said, "A family as outstanding as the Gao family should be the main surname of Jizhou Mansion."

Gao Lin was so squeezed by Cao Su that he was speechless, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Gao family was not considered a big family in Jizhou Prefecture.

Some of them are not even ranked. If they are more familiar with the Gao family, they even know that the Gao family has been hit and squeezed out in Jizhou. The life of the Gao family will be even more difficult.

Gao Lin thought of this, and suddenly understood.

He looked at Cao Su in shock, and then his face became even uglier: "Cao Zhenbei doesn't know something. Although my nephew is a general of the government army, he is a capable person, and he doesn't think highly of my uncle. never listened to me."

Cao Su frowned, his momentum was like a stormy sea.

Gao Lin was rushed by Cao Su's breath, and his whole body took three steps back, only feeling his heart beating "puffly", as if it was going to burst at any moment.

Cao Su stared at Gao Lin, Gao Lin felt as if he was being watched by a man-eating monster, and he dared not move the slightest.

It took about half an hour before Cao Su regained his momentum.

Gao Lin was relieved in an instant, and his whole body was drenched as if he had been fished out of the water.

Cao Su sneered and said, "That's why Patriarch Gao is a smart person. You already know what Cao wants to say before he speaks."

Gao Lin said that Gao Lan didn't listen to him, whether it was true or not, it might be difficult to judge for a while.

"Talking to smart people saves effort. Since Patriarch Gao knows what Cao is going to do, Patriarch Gao should understand his situation very well."

When Cao Su said this, he paused for a while, and deliberately said something wrong: "Oh, no, it should be the situation of your Gao family."

He looked at Gao Lin with a sneer, without the slightest hint of threat, but Gao Lin could hear a deep crisis.

Gao Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, his whole mind was spinning wildly.

At this time, if Cao Su is prevaricated, he may be killed, but if he responds to Cao Su in this way, if the Beibei army fails to attack, the Gao family will be finished?
These people in power are so ruthless, the lives of hundreds of members of Gao's family, can they be gambled?

The more Gao Lin thought about it, the more helpless he became, not knowing how to answer.

However, Cao Su was unwilling to give him any more time: "Gao Lan didn't meet his talents in the government army. A first-class general with a fourth-rank strength like this belongs to a senior general in our Zhenbei army, but in the Jizhou government In the army, Gao Lan can only be a general, it's Pu Chengye's ignorance, which led to Mingzhu's secret vote."

"Your Gao family is my favorite family, Mr. Gao is a smart person, so he should know how to choose."

"Sometimes, opportunities pass by in front of us, and those who are willing to catch are destined people. Otherwise, they will always be just passers-by, just like the Gao family in Jizhou Prefecture. If you miss this time, will there be opportunities in the next few hundred years?"

"Being consumed by people like this, I'm afraid it won't take too long before the Gao family will disappear in the rivers and lakes."

Cao Su looked at Gao Lin, said both soft and hard, good and bad, and left the decision to Gao Lin himself.

Gao Lin was stunned, feeling extremely nervous. After being the Patriarch for so long, this was the first time he had to make such a major decision.

If you win, it may be the day when the Gao family rises, but if you lose, the entire Gao family will be completely removed.
The risk and cost of failure were too great, his heart was beating wildly like never before, and he was extremely nervous.

Cao Su stood up from the chief seat, pushed towards Gao Lin, and revealed some plans a little: "Don't put too much pressure on me, I, Cao, always keep three points in everything I do. Tonight, I will attack the town of Jizhou Prefecture. The Northern Army will not rely solely on your Gao family."

Gao Lin looked at Cao Su, shocked.

Cao Su shook his head and said: "You are too smart, so you are easily blinded. Think carefully about how you contacted me, and why you were able to contact me. Also, the [-] troops from Jizhou fly overnight Ash annihilation, do you think that I, Cao, have three heads and six arms to chop it off? Have you ever thought about why?"

Cao Su asked the "smart man" a few questions, and the "smart man" was stopped on the spot. After carefully savoring Cao Su's words, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be other meanings in them.

The line of defense in his heart finally began to loosen. Is there any hidden reason why the [-] troops in Jizhou were defeated so quickly?

As soon as Cao Su arrived in Jizhou today, General Zhen claimed to travel around the three mountains and five mountains to seek help from fellow Taoists?So now that the Jizhou mansion is empty, Cao Su's first-rank realm is rampant here?

Countless thoughts flashed across Gao Lin in an instant, and the more he thought about it, the more frightening he felt. Could it be that Zhen Cang had already surrendered to the Zhenbei Army?
At this moment, some flames suddenly appeared in the direction of the southeast corner of the city.

"Here, let's start."

Gao Lin looked along, and finally the last line of defense was destroyed.

The whole person's legs and feet went limp, and he fell down on the chair.

Cao Su turned his back to him, admiring the fire in the city to himself.

In Gao Lin's eyes, the majestic back is so majestic and brave, as if it is unattainable.

Gao Lin bowed his head and clasped his fists, "Please tell me, the general, what should my Gao family do?"
