Chapter 177: The Pu Family of Luoyang

Compared with the joy of rejuvenating Chang'an City, Pingxiang City of Luoyang County seems to be much more relaxed, as if any war is chaotic and irrelevant. But if you enter the huge watchtower made of huge stones in the north of the city at this moment, you will feel that the atmosphere is obviously solemn and depressed, but this is the center of Pingxiang City and even Luoyang County.

In the watchtower, Chief Pu Huaigui sat with his arms folded, his brows tightly locked. Pu Huai returned to his fifties, and he felt that his energy was low, and he was always weak. But at the moment, the stakes are high, and he can't help but cheer himself up. Pu Huaigui glanced at a piece of thin paper on the table in front of him from time to time, thoughtfully. In the lobby, more than a dozen people whispered, with different faces, and around Pu Huaigui, there were four young people who bowed down and stood solemnly, did not speak, and all looked at Pu Huaigui with their eyes.

"What do you guys think?" Pu Huaigui pondered for a while, and finally broke the silence in the hall, raised his eyelids and glanced for a moment and said, "You people, either my most trusted and valued nephews, or my loyal subordinates who have followed me for many years, government and military, all have this right and obligation to come to the counselor, everyone talk about it." ”

Everyone below already had their own thoughts, and when they saw Pu Huaigui speak, they looked at each other and spoke one after another.

"Father, let's not wade into this troubled water. If it's so chaotic today, let's be relatively stable in Luoyang, and it's better to avoid those things, regardless of who becomes the king or loses. Father might as well refuse, let's live our own lives in the sun. Pu Huaigui's second son Pu An looked left and right, and no one made a sound, so he spoke first.

Pu Huaigui is named King Luoyang, but in essence he is just the leader of the tribe, and he has not been canonized by the imperial court, unlike Yang Mao, who has the official title of King Zuoxian of the Jin Court, and calls the king's name right, so Pu Huaigui's sons do not call him his father.

Nephew Pu Guang then said: "Although the second brother is reasonable, but in my nephew's opinion, the momentum of the Huns is as good as the sky, and it is very unstoppable. Just now, everyone also read Liu Yao's letter, which is coercion and temptation for us, in short, it means that it is not allowed. In this case, my uncle still gave him a favor, so let's take it right, in case he disobeys him, we will always have hidden dangers in the future. ”

The son and nephew all told their true thoughts, whether they were right or wrong, whether they liked it or not, it was always a reference, and it was a big matter, and they were about to brainstorm. Then the people in the hall, either worried or excited, cried out. Pu Huaigui sighed, noncommittal, but his gaze moved to another person, "Guangshi, as the eldest son, you didn't say a word, but why?" ”

The one he called was his eldest son, Puhong.

"Father, son, this is a good opportunity for me to get out of the way!"

Pu Hong is twenty-nine years old, with a well-proportioned figure and very capable, and he is more resourceful on weekdays, and he is good at riding and shooting, and his temperament is extraordinarily outstanding. At this time, he had his own thoughts in his chest, heard his father's question, and saw that several brothers were looking at him in puzzlement, Pu Hong opened his mouth and talked eloquently.

"In the past, the Great Jin Dynasty unified all the states, was very strong, and coerced and oppressed the Hu tribes on the four sides, and took them away. There was a huge disparity in strength, and we had to swallow our anger at that time. But if there is chaos today, the court itself is in danger, and it has actually lost control of the tribes. Since our clan is now in a troubled era and has been freed from its shackles, it is either inactive and annexed, or it is hard to make our clan bigger and stronger, and there is absolutely no reason to stay out of the matter and be at ease. ”

"The Huns, back then, were just attached to the north of the imperial court, and they were as obedient to the imperial court as we are. Now he just took advantage of the civil strife in the country, he dared to jump out first, show off his martial arts, and was able to make today's great cause, openly calling the emperor very majestic. But what is inferior to them? is also ranked in Wuhu, carving up the Central Plains, why not us. They can think of fighting the country, why do we have to sit here? ”

Unconsciously, Pu Hong's voice was getting higher and higher, and his eyes were shining brightly, and he felt very excited when he saw that everyone was listening carefully, and then said loudly: "I heard that Liu Yao of the Huns marched into Chang'an, but was defeated by the county soldiers, which shows that Liu Yao is afraid that it is actually difficult to live up to his reputation." At present, he sent people to ask me, so he just sent troops to attack, not for the Huns, but to expand our own strength, and to get a piece of the pie in the troubled times. ”

"For example, the dragon goes out to sea and the tiger goes down the mountain, we should take advantage of this to move towards a broader world. And since ancient times, countries have been founded by people. My tribe now has both sharp blades, warriors who dare to fight, and a father who is wise and heroic, as long as we work together, why can't we create our own country! ”

After some impassioned words, the hall was quiet, and everyone frowned slightly in their hearts. When Pu Huaigui heard this, his eyelids jumped, his heart drummed, and his eyes when he looked at Pu Hong also deepened. After pondering for a moment, Fang said slowly: "Guangshi, you have such a big mind!" ”

Pu Hong was full of anticipation, looked straight at Pu Huaigui and said: "For the sake of the family and the country, I have to do my best. In this way, the father is a wise lord, and he will know better than the son. ”

Why is Pu Huaigui unclear! As the big leader of the Luoyang Di clan, although he has not moved, he has been paying attention to the general trend of the world all the time in private. Secretly thinking that the Jin Dynasty is afraid that it will be difficult to return, then, from now on, where to go, he has been thinking for a long time, and always feels that a careless mistake will lead to the tragic consequences of the destruction of the family, and he can't be cautious.

"Hmm...... Good. Tell me more about it. ”

Pu Huaigui's face was as usual, and he couldn't see any joy or anger. Pu Hong has already spoken, where can he hold back, simply put his thoughts and thoughts.

"In the past, we lived in LΓΌyang with Yang Maosou, and there were disputes. Fortunately, Yang Maosou offended Sima Bao and was afraid to flee to Wudu. We are polite and polite to Sima Bao, and Sima Bao is willing to support us, so until now, Luoyang is still our tribe's final say. If there are no internal worries, we must always pay attention to external troubles. ”

"Sima Bao and Liu Yao are not kind-hearted and kind-hearted people, they can only be false and wronged, and they can't be friends for life, and they can't say that one day they will suddenly face us with swords. Therefore, it is important to strengthen your own strength in advance, if you don't take advantage of the fact that these two people have no time to plot against me, I just happen to develop rapidly, and when will it be! ”

"At present, the Huns are anxious for quick success and quick profit, and want to break through Chang'an and destroy the Great Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, but they are temporarily trapped in the Longxi army and want us to secretly send troops to attack Shouyang City in Longxi. Let's agree, after all, the Huns are strong, and it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship, so as to leave some room for the future. ”

"Longxi, now the eyes are on Chang'an and Shangqi, I never expected that we would suddenly attack him, and the rear is relatively empty, so I can be sure that Shouyang will fall into our hands. Anyway, the Huns will fight to the death with the Jin Dynasty in Chang'an, and Longxi will also fight with Sima Bao, so they don't have time to point the finger at us for the time being. Therefore, by the time these four forces are intricate, sort out a clue, and divide the kings and losers, we will already expand our territory and greatly increase our strength. At that time, it is necessary to either seek the status of a great domain, or establish itself as the king and inherit the sect, in short, it should be moved from time to time. ”

"Well said!"

The fourth son Putu is tall and rugged, majestic and easy to kill, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, and shouted with his mouth open: "What the eldest brother said, I agree with it!" Please give my father's order, then send troops, anyway, it's all a war, who is not fighting, I Pu Tu invited myself to be a striker, so I can kill for a while and be too addicted! ”

"Bastard!"

Pu Huaigui glared at Pu Tu angrily, and reprimanded: "Military affairs, be cautious and cautious, how can you use it casually to enjoy it?" Something that doesn't make it. ”

Hearing that there was no real anger in his father's tone, Pu Tu grinned and said, "Military affairs, let my father and brothers decide." Anyway, if you want to fight, you must give me the forward general, and I will do my best to drive the enemy for my father and brother. ”

The brothers looked at each other, exchanged a few words, then nodded, bowed to Pu Huaigui and said: "Father, what the eldest brother said is very reasonable, our brothers are willing to work together to break through!" ”

Pu Huaigui was silent, lowered his eyes and pondered, and finally his complexion changed, and he opened his eyes and sighed: "I am a little Yangqiang people, I have lived here for many years, and I have no ambitions. Now that the wind and clouds are coming, I can't say it, and it is also the time when your younger generation wants to win wealth and nobility, and I can't pull your hind legs. Guangshi. ”

"Father, son here."

Seeing Pu Huaigui beckoning again and again, Pu Hong didn't dare to be distracted, took a few steps forward, came to Pu Huaigui and stood still, looking inquiringly.

Pu Huaigui nodded to him, but turned his head to everyone below, and opened his mouth with a serious face.

"Since the beginning of the year, I have felt that my health is getting worse day by day, but I can't help but let go of the major affairs of the tribe. Now I see that Guangshi is brave, resourceful, ambitious, and is my good son. From now on, I officially hand over the position of Great Chief to Guangshi, and you all come to meet the new chief. ”

Not only was everyone in the hall surprised and dumbfounded, but Pu Hong was even more shocked in his head, never expecting that his father would suddenly make such a major decision in public. Hot sweat immediately poured out of his body, and he hurriedly knelt down and said urgently: "Father! The son categorically does not have such a mind, my father is in his prime, it is an accidental illness, and it is not a matter of urgency, my thousands of people still expect my father to live a long life and lead us to prosperity, father, I am not ......"

Seeing that Pu Hong was anxious and incoherent, it was indeed out of a true feeling, Pu Huaigui was also very relieved in his heart, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull up Pu Hong, but found that he couldn't pull his adult son anymore, so he had to order Pu Hong to stand up first.

Pu Huaigui waved his hand, his eyes sparkled and said, "I know your sincerity." In short, you don't have scruples, just do it well, I give you this burden, it is your expectation and spur. In the future, I will be prosperous and prosperous, and I will also count on you to lead it well, whether you will turn your family into a country, or whether your family will be destroyed depends on your ability. Guangshi, you don't want to live up to your father and tribe, it is your greatest filial piety! ”

Seeing that his father's old face was extremely firm, Pu Hong should have been overjoyed, but he couldn't help but feel sad. His eyes were red, and just when he didn't know what to say, everyone in the hall came over, bowed down in unison, and said respectfully: "Meet the big leader!" ”

Looking at Pu Huai's return, and looking at his subordinates who were crawling all over the ground, Pu Hong's heart was surging, his snort became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart: "I'm a little yang, I'm here!" ”
