Wei Wuhou

Chapter 644 A Visit from the Gao Family

On the second day of August in the 16th year of Marquis Wei, Wu'an.

As the capital of Wei State, Wu'an has always been a place where news circulates quickly.

After the news of the fall of Beiping Pass just came out, it spread to the upper-level people within a day, and quickly spread to the lower-level people.

In the eyes of the Wei people, the Huns have always been tigers and wolves. Last year when they entered the customs, Yanshan suffered a great disaster. Fortunately, Lord Wu Yang drove all these vicious people out.

Now that the Huns have come in again, who can resist them?With the defeated Lingbei Camp?
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 it was more affected by the general trend of the world today.

Now Qin State and Chu State to the west of Wei State have fought against Wei Jun many times, winning and losing each other.Today, if everyone of the Huns breaks through Yanshan, the Wei State will be attacked by enemies one after another.

At this time last year, although the Qin and Chu countries were also aggressive, the scale of the real action was not as large as it is now, and all Wei talents would have a vague sense of crisis.

However, this sense of crisis was quickly overwhelmed by another issue, which was to discuss who should go to Yanshan to clean up the mess.

At the beginning, there was basically only one point of view, and that was to ask Wu Yangjun to come out of the mountain and return to the Lingbei camp to fight against the Xiongnu.

But later, some voices pointed out that it would be safe to let a veteran play the horse, so Gao Chengde, who had won many battles between Qi and Lu, was pushed to the fore.

This is of course a drama arranged by the family, in order to create momentum for Gao Chengde who is about to return to the imperial court.

Ever since, in the discussion of who would go to Yanshan to clean up the mess, the candidates were arguing between Gao Chengde and Wei Wuji.

And the heat of the debate finally reached its peak today, because today is the day when Gao Zhuguo's class teacher returns to the court.

Contrary to what many people expected, after the acquisition of the Lu State, Gao Chengde did not follow his army to support the Qin and Chu fronts, nor did he sit in the Lu State and Xiangping County.

In fact, this is already three years later, the Gaozhu Kingdom who went out to fight for the first time returned to the court.

Among the people at the peak of power in the Wei state, Gao Chengde can be said to be the one with the weakest sense of existence, and he didn't seem to have any other topics except fighting.

But today, under the deliberate promotion of some people, Gao Chengde suddenly became popular in Wu'an.

Although Gao Chengde came back with a big victory, Wei Wuji's own mass base is not bad, so that the two voices are still evenly matched in this matter.

However, this is the opinion of ordinary people after all. Although it can reflect some problems, the final decision is still made by the court officials.

Therefore, when the parents of the common people were chatting about important military and state affairs, the lively officials and nobles in the high mansion were not idle at this time.

As one of the three generals of the Zhu Kingdom, Gao Chengde's mansion was also magnificent, and it was now decorated with lights and festoons.

Meanwhile, Gao Chengde's eldest son, Gao Changcheng, was welcoming the guests at the gate of the mansion, and next to him was Young Master Gao Yang who was forced to come together.

"Father, our family is really powerful. Grandpa just came back, and the Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang families all sent people here!" Gao Yang said to his father while there was no one around.

It is also rare for him to express his emotions seriously, in order to pretend to be mature in front of his father, and then lift the restraint on him.

But Gao Yang didn't know that when he heard about the four families of Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang, there was a flash of worry in his father's eyes.

Then, Gao Changcheng asked his son, "Do you think it's a good thing that these four families came to us?"

Gao Yang suddenly felt speechless, isn't it like this?These four families are more prominent than my own. Wouldn't it be a good thing to let these people visit together?
But Gao Yang is not stupid, he knows that his father must have his own opinion, so he respectfully said: "My child is stupid, please teach me my father!"

Gao Changcheng sighed, and just said: "There are some things that you should experience yourself... Being a father can't protect you for the rest of your life!"

Seeing his father like this, Gao Yang couldn't understand why he was so sad on the day when the class teacher triumphed!
As for Gao Changcheng, he turned his head and looked deep into the courtyard wall, where the trouble was!
Yes, from Gao Changcheng's point of view, it would be a trouble for these four companies to find them. You can understand what happened to Wu Mingyan.

As one of the three major kingdoms, the current Wu Mingyan has fallen into such a difficult situation in the struggle of the poor family.

Combined with the current public opinion in Wu'an, Gao Changcheng didn't have to think about what the purpose of these people came to him.

…………

In the inner mansion, Gao Chengde, who had just returned, had no choice but to welcome several important guests before he took off his armor.

These people are the descendants of the Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang families. Anyway, in front of Gao Chengde, these people are called brothers and sisters with Gao Changcheng on weekdays.

This includes Mrs. Wei's brother, Xie Chang, the heir to the head of the Xie family, who is also speaking on behalf of the four families today.

After saying a lot of polite words and exaggerating Gao Chengde's military achievements, Xie Changcai casually said, "Uncle, you know how the situation in Yanshan is now!"

Although he was praised by these juniors, to Gao Chengde, these things were like a breeze, and did not cause the slightest disturbance in his heart.

Therefore, when asked about the situation in Yanshan, Gao Chengde still answered very clearly: "I heard that the Xiongnu have already invaded the Great Wall, and the Lingbei camp can only rely on the city to hold on. Yanshan must have been run amok by barbarians!"

In fact, Gao Chengde could also guess the purpose of these Xiaobei's trip, but the rules are like that, so he can only cooperate with acting.

"That's right, now Yanshan's army and civilians are trapped in water and fire, we are all worried, and we can't wait to fight to save thousands of people!" Xie Chang said very sadly.

At this time, the few people who were listening by the side agreed again and again, saying how worried they were about the situation in Yanshan.

"Several nephews are worried too much! I heard that the emperor issued an edict just two days ago, ordering troops from the counties near Yanshan to dispatch, and reinforcements from the Wu'an camp also went north!" Gao Chengde said very calmly.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him continue: "Besides, Yanshan has the Wuzhu Kingdom sitting in the town, so the Huns must not be able to make any big waves!"

Xie Chang glanced at Gao Chengde's calm face in Gujing, and cursed the old fox in his heart, this is not a rhythm at all!

For a long time, these four families have been deeply criticized for the Gao family's attitude of not helping each other in the struggle between the aristocratic clan and the poor family.

Seeing that Gao Chengde still seemed to have nothing to do with him at this time, Xie Chang also lost the patience to beat around the bush, but said directly: "Wu Zhuguo is now defeated, if uncle can go to Yanshan to help, I think it will be difficult for barbarians to make trouble!"

Gao Chengde couldn't help being stunned, and when these people were asking if this person was thinking, Gao Chengde suddenly asked: "Is this what you mean, or what your parents mean?"

Before these people could answer, Gao Chengde continued: "If your parents want it, then let them come and talk to me in person, you juniors...you can't decide on some things!"

These words made Xie Chang and the others speechless. Gao Chengde was a typical rogue, with the meaning of relying on the old to sell the old.

In fact, it's not that their elders don't want to come, but they also want to avoid suspicion.

If the real masters of the four families came to the Gao Mansion today, then it is difficult to guarantee that Marquis Wei will not be suspicious of something, and things will explode.

And Gao Chengde was also aware of this, so he blocked the juniors in front of him with these words.

If you want to talk to me, you can, but you have to ask your parents to come.
