On the second day of the eighth month of the sixteenth year of the Marquis of Wei, Wu'an.

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

After the news of the fall of Beipingguan just came, it spread to the upper echelons in less than a day, and quickly spread to the lower echelons.

The Xiongnu have always been tigers and wolves in the eyes of the Wei people, and Yanshan suffered a great disaster when they entered the customs last year, but fortunately Wu Yangjun drove out all these murderous people.

Now that the Huns are coming in again, who can resist them? With the Lingbei camp that suffered defeat?

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 and the defeat of the Lingbei battalion was only an introduction, and it was more affected by the general trend today.

Now the states of Qin and Chu to the west of Wei have fought with the Wei army many times, and they have won and lost each other. Today's Huns have broken through Yanshan again, and the Wei State has been attacked before and after.

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

However, this sense of crisis was also quickly suppressed by another question, that is, to discuss who should go to Yanshan to clean up the mess.

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

But later, another voice pointed out that when a veteran is safe, then Gao Chengde, who has won many battles between Qilu and Qilu, has been pushed to the forefront.

Of course, this is a drama arranged by the clan, in order to build momentum for Gao Chengde, who is about to return to the dynasty.

So, 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 controversy finally reached its highest today, because today is the day when Gao Zhuguo's class returned to the dynasty.

Unlike 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 the first time that this Gao Zhuguo, who went out to fight, has returned to the dynasty after three years.

Among the several people at the peak of Wei's power, Gao Chengde can be said to be the one with the weakest sense of existence, and he doesn't seem to have made any other topics except for the war.

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

Although Gao Chengde returned with a big victory, Wei Wuji's own mass base is not bad, so that the two voices are still fighting evenly until now.

However, after all, this is the remarks of ordinary people, although it can reflect some problems, but it is the court and the princes who make the final decision.

Therefore, when the parents of the common people were talking about military affairs, the ministers and nobles of the high mansion were not idle at this time.

As one of the three generals of the Pillar Kingdom, Gao Chengde's mansion is also extraordinary, and it is full of lights at this time.

And Gao Chengde's eldest son, Gao Changcheng, greeted the guests at the gate of the mansion at this time, and next to him was Young Master Gao Yang, who was forced to call together.

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

He also had a rare serious emotion, in order to pretend to be mature in front of his father, and then lift the ban 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 have found us?" ”

Gao Yang was speechless for a moment, isn't that so? These four families are more prominent than their own families, isn't it a good thing to let these people visit together?

But Gao Yang is not stupid, knowing that his father must also have his own opinions, so he said respectfully: "The child is dull, please ask your father to teach you!" ”

Gao Changcheng sighed, but said, "There are some things that you should experience by yourself...... A father can't protect you for a lifetime! ”

Seeing his father like this, Gao Yang didn't understand even more in his heart, how could he still be sad in the days when the class teacher triumphed!

And Gao Changcheng looked back at the depths of the courtyard wall, where the trouble was!

Yes, in Gao Changcheng's opinion, it will be a trouble for these four to find it, just look at what Wu Mingyan is going on.

As one of the three pillar countries, the current Wu Mingyan is not in the struggle of the Hanmen clan and has fallen into the difficult situation he is in today.

Combined with Wu'an's current public opinion, Gao Changcheng doesn't have to think about what the purpose of these people coming to the door is.

…………

In the inner mansion, Gao Chengde, who had just returned, had not yet taken off his armor, so he had to welcome several important guests.

These people are the descendants of the four families of Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang, anyway, they are like this in front of Gao Chengde, and these people are brothers and sisters with Gao Changcheng on weekdays.

This includes Mrs. Wei's elder 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 before, praising Gao Chengde's military exploits, Xie Changcai inadvertently said: "Uncle, do you know what the situation in Yanshan is now!" ”

Although he was praised by these juniors, these were also like a breeze for Gao Chengde, and they did not cause the slightest ripple in his heart.

Therefore, when asked about the situation in Yanshan, Gao Chengde still replied very clearly: "I heard that the Xiongnu have invaded the Great Wall, and the Lingbei camp can only rely on the city to defend now, presumably Yanshan is already rampant with the Hu people!" ”

In fact, Gao Chengde can also guess the purpose of these little sorrows, but the rules are like that, so he can only cooperate with acting.

"Yes, now that the soldiers and civilians of Yanshan are trapped in fire and water, we are all worried, and we can't wait to save 10,000 people!" Xie Chang said very sadly.

At this time, several people listening to the side also agreed one after another, and they all said how they were worried about the situation in Yanshan.

"A few virtuous nephews are too worried! I heard that just two days ago, the king issued an edict to send soldiers from the neighboring counties of Yanshan, and the Wu'an battalion also had reinforcements to go north! Gao Chengde said very calmly.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him continue: "Moreover, Yanshan has Wuzhu State in charge, presumably the Huns can't make any big waves!" ”

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

For a long time, the four of them have been deeply criticized for the attitude of the Gao family in the dispute between the world and the poor family.

Seeing that Gao Chengde still didn't care about himself at this time, Xie Chang also lost his patience to beat around the bush, but said directly: "Wu Zhuguo is now defeated, if my uncle can go to Yanshan to help, presumably it will be difficult for the Hu people to make trouble!" ”

Gao Chengde couldn't help but be stunned, just when these people were thinking about it, 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, then let them come and talk to me in person, you juniors...... There are some things that cannot be done by the Lord! ”

These words made Xie Chang and the others speechless, Gao Chengde This is a typical scoundrel, and he has the meaning of relying on the old and selling the old.

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

If the four of them are really in charge of the mansion today, then it is difficult to guarantee that Wei Hou will not suspect something, and then the matter will be a big deal.

And Gao Chengde also knew this, so he used these words to block the juniors in front of him.

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