Chapter 205: The eldest husband Sun Ji
At night, after all the merchants in the secret room of Gongsun Mansion left, Gongqi Chou and many elders of the Gongsun family gathered in the secret room of the underground palace, all of them bowed their heads and pondered, and the atmosphere was extremely dull, and Gongsun He was also among them.
"Boss, according to the detailed report, there are still more than 100,000 foot soldiers following Gao Shun's army, these foot soldiers have entered the Liaoshui range, less than fifty miles away from my Xiangping, and they can reach the outside of the city to join Gao Shun's army at the latest." Sitting at the top is an old man with his eyes closed and gray hair, and the old man's lower left head is Gong Qi Chou, who saw that everyone was reluctant to speak, so he arched his hand to the old man at the top and said.
"Hey" The old man opened his eyes, glanced at Gongqi Chou, frowned, sighed and said: "The Tianci army is extremely good at fighting, and I have less than 20,000 defenders in Xiangping City, it seems that my Gongsun family is really in a catastrophe this time." ”
The identity of this old man in Liaodong is not ordinary, the real emperor, the pillar of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Du's biological father Gongsun Ji, Gongsun Du lost his mother at an early age, in order to cultivate Gongsun Du, Gongsun Ji since the death of the main room, never renewed, with the young Gongsun Du left the glorious and rich Gongsun family, went to the bitter cold land of Xuansu County, and dug out his mind to teach his martial arts, the art of war, political theory, and knowledge.
Gongsun Du did not live up to Gongsun Ji's expectations, and with his ability, he pushed the Gongsun family to the scale of the largest family in Liaodong, and Gongsun Du can have today's achievements, and the biggest credit is still on Gongsun Ji.
When those clan elders heard Gongsun Ji's words, their breath became much thicker, and some even clenched their fists, with red threads in their eyes. Gongsun Ji is like Gongsun Du, it is a banner of the entire Gongsun family, if Gongsun Ji gives up, then the Gongsun family is not about to be defeated?
"Boss, my Liaodong has not yet reached the moment of complete defeat, there are still more than 200,000 troops in the hands of the lord, as long as we hold on until the lord comes back, then we still have hope." Seeing the decadent looks of everyone in the field, Gong Qihou gritted his teeth and said.
"Reinforcements?" Gongsun smiled bitterly, seeing that the children of the Gongsun family present were all bright-eyed, and said with a blow: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, Wuxian County would have been taken down by Tianci County a long time ago, right?" ”
Gong Qichou was speechless for a while, this news was just known by Gong Qichou, Gongsun Ji actually guessed it, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.
"Uncle and grandfather, how could Wuwu be so easily defeated? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I saw Gongsun He sweating profusely, and his lips were purple and he asked.
Everyone knows that if Wuxian loses, the situation in Xiangping is even worse, Wuwu is the north gate of Xiangping, as long as Wuwu is in his hands, Xiangping can form a pincer with Gongsun Du who has returned to help, and the Tianci army does not need to worry about it at all, and can even hit the northern Xinjiang, but if it is lost, even if Gongsun Du can recapture Wuxi, it will be at least ten days and a half months later, can Xiangping keep the time? Without confidence, few people can still have the confidence to hold in the face of hundreds of thousands of heavenly troops. Of course, if there were hundreds of thousands of defenders in Xiangping City, it would be a different matter.
"Not only is there no worry about losing the ground, but the Liao team and the Liaodong vassal countries have been captured by the Tianci army" Gong Qichou's face was extremely ugly, and he threw out a big bomb, which shocked everyone present, and opened their mouths wide one by one, not knowing what else to say.
"Chang Li, how could Chang Li have been lost in such a short period of time?" A sixty-year-old man opposite Gong Qichou, with an extremely ugly face, asked in a gloomy voice.
This sixty-year-old man is named Gongsun Fang, and his position in the Gongsun family is second only to Gongsun Du and Gongsun Ji, and Gongsun Fang is also the only one in the Gongsun family who supports Gongsun Zhan, and the relationship with Gongsun Chan is very good, although it is a distant relationship, but Gongsun Chan still calls him his uncle, and because of the help of this person's money and power, Gongsun Chan Fang can recruit troops and buy horses in the subject country of Liaodong and gain a foothold in the northeast.
Now that Changli is lost, doesn't it mean that Gongsun Chan has been cut off? Changli is not only Gongsun Zhan's nest, but also a hoarding place for Gongsun Fang's large amount of personal money and grain, losing Changli is equivalent to Gongsun Fang completely losing everything!
"Yes, three days, it only took three days, Changli was broken, Gongsun Fan was captured, and the entire territory of Liaodong Shu fell." Gong Qichou's mouth was full of bitterness, sighed, and said helplessly.
"What about Gongsun Yin?" Gongsun Ji, who was on the top, suddenly asked out loud. made everyone present dark-colored and stunned.
Gongsun Yin's status in the clan is not low, he is the uncle of Gongsun Du, he has made a lot of meritorious achievements, and he can be regarded as an old hero of the Gongsun family.
"There is no accurate news yet, I heard that I escaped the tracking of the Tianci Army and went north directly." Gong Qichou frowned, and said with unconfidence. Gong Qichou really didn't believe that Gongsun Yin could escape surrounded by tens of thousands of troops.
"It's good if there's no news, it's good if there's no news." Gongsun Ji nodded comfortingly, for this distant cousin, Gongsun Ji still likes it a little, he is very capable, and he is also very loyal to the family.
"Great Elder, where is my Gongsun family now?" Gongsun Fang was now disheartened, and asked Gongsun Ji with a dead face.
"Seeing Gongsun Fang's appearance, Gongsun Ji really couldn't laugh at all, although Gongsun Ji was the eldest elder in the family, and his son Gongsun Du was the patriarch, but this Gongsun Fang didn't deal with it at all, and he did everything against Gongsun Ji, which made Gongsun Ji and Gongsun Du hate itchy.
"That's it, let's arrange it, let the Gongsun family and some officials who are willing to live and die with Xiangping escape from the city from the secret passage, let them take a thousand guards, and hide in Wadao first, after the war, if my Gongsun family is lucky to be saved, then return, if the Gongsun family is destroyed" Gongsun said here with a gloomy expression, paused, sighed and said: "Let them be incognito, never come back"
Wadojima, far away from the Central Plains, but adjacent to the northeast, as long as you pass the territory of Sanhan, take a boat to the east, it is Wadojima, as for why not go to Goguryeo, but to go to Wadojima, everyone understands that Goguryeo is a tiger and wolf, and it is not reliable at all.
"Boss, do you want to send it away?" Gong Qichou frowned and asked a little embarrassed. Xiangping City was already understaffed, and wouldn't it be even more empty to use a thousand elite soldiers to escort these noble disciples away.
"What, there's a problem?" Gongsun glanced at Gongqi Chou very lightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, no matter how capable Gong Qichou is, but if Gongqi Chou wants to cut off the bloodline of Gongsun family, it will be endless!
"No problem" Feeling Gongsun Ji's fierce gaze, Gongqi had goosebumps all over his body, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he pulled his mouth, and said dryly.
"Great Elder, it's not appropriate to send them all away." Gongqi Chou didn't dare to say, it didn't mean that Gongsun Fang didn't dare, but Gongsun Fang looked at Gongsun Ji indifferently and said: "There are hundreds of descendants of my Gongsun family's main lineage, plus the side branches scattered in Xiangping City, I'm afraid there are no less than two or three thousand, so many people get together, it is inevitable that something will happen, and it is easy to be discovered by the Tianci army." ”
"Hmph, Gongsun Fang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that my side branch can't save the bloodline? I saw one of the clan elders, his face flushed, and he got up and scolded angrily.
Not only this clan elder, but a large part of them were furious, and even Gongsun He, who could barely be regarded as one of the two young leaders of the side branch, was also flushed, his forehead was bruised, and he glared at Gongsun Fang angrily.
"Hmph, Gongsun Festival, what kind of thing are you, dare to shout at the old man like this?" A cold light flashed in Gongsun Fang's eyes, and he stood up and looked at the old man known as Gongsun Festival and said.
"Hehe, usually the old man still looks at your face, but now you are a tiger with teeth extracted, what else is there to be arrogant? In this Xiangping City, although my side branch is not as good as the main line, it is not a small force, if we don't let our juniors leave, don't blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless! Gongsun Jie smiled disdainfully, looked at Gongsun Fang with contempt and said.
"Gongsun Lao'er, it seems that you want to join the enemy, oh, I almost forgot, your grandson Gongsun Ce is still in Beijiang University, I see, you have already hooked up with Liu Tai in Huacheng, otherwise how could we not get any news in advance of Gaoshun's march this time?" Behind Gongsun Fang, a sixty-year-old man, yin and yang, stood up and said to everyone present, and then looked at Gongsun Jie, with an extremely provocative expression.
"Bastard, you bastard, when did Lao Tzu betray the family? You dare to spew blood, Lao Tzu fought with you!! Gongsun Jie looked furious, gritted his teeth and was about to step forward, but fortunately he was dragged by the clan elders behind him.
"Want to fight like this? Lao Tzu accompanies you, today I have my old bones out!! The sixty-year-old man who spoke, with a hideous face, wanted to step forward and share the high and low with Gongsun Festival.
"If you have enough trouble, sit down for me!!" Suddenly, there was a loud cry from Gongsun Ji's mouth, and the people in the hall were slightly stunned, and they put their eyes on Gongsun Ji.
Gongsun Jie looked at Gongsun Ji with grievances, but Gongsun Fan and the supporters behind him were extremely indifferent, in their opinion, although Gongsun Ji was a side branch before, but now he is the head of the main lineage, so he will naturally agree with his opinion.
Gongsun Fang looks down on the side branch, it is well known, if it is really counted, everyone present, the real main line, only Gongsun Fang's one line, Gongsun Ji's predecessor is actually a side branch, but because Gongsun Du is too strong, he dominates the main line and becomes the controller of the Gongsun family, and because of this, Gongsun Fang and Gongsun Du and Gongsun Ji are at odds everywhere.
