Wuruan Pass fell?
Gao Lin, the leader of the Gao clan, was so surprised that his eyes widened when he heard the news.
Wu Ruan Pass, a place where one man is in charge and no one can open it, how can it be easily lost?
After asking a group of fleeing soldiers, Gao Lin knew the reason. His old face was so dark that he could bleed.
Boom...dong-dong-dong...
The police drum sounded in Guangchang City and the city gates began to close.
The people who heard the sirens dispersed in panic. The patriarchs and people in charge of other aristocratic families hurriedly rushed to the Gao family after settling their household affairs...
Wuruan Pass fell?
Jushu, who was lying under the willow tree with a crooked neck and holding a letter, listened to the police drums and frowned slightly.
The thieves wanted to attack Guangchang. This was Jushou Jugongda's first judgment.
A few days ago, I heard that the Gao family was driving away the refugees. I didn't know why for a while. Later, I sent my subordinates to inquire and found out that the thieves had entered the mountain. At that time, he thought about it for a long time before he roughly guessed the thief's intention. However, when he thought of Wuruan Pass, he stopped thinking about it.
Shen Mingfa is in front of him, "A group of thieves are not aware of it, and those who are aware of it and fail to capture the full number of people will die, including those with less than 2,000 stones and even the minor officials."
Now, as the king of a county, he had to face this problem. Although, at this time, the imperial court's rules and regulations were corrupted, Shen Mingfa had already existed in name only, and the imperial court might not have the time to punish him. In addition, Zhang Jiao's traitor climbed up and shouted, and more than half of the prefectures and counties were followed by thieves. Breaking the city, killing officials, and losing the city and county were nothing new in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, once the thieves broke the city, their reputation would always be unfavorable. Moreover, , what should Huer and his wife do? As soon as he thought about this, Jushou looked towards the passage in the back hall, his eyes full of thinking.
"Aweng."
"Mr. Lang."
As if to verify Jusuke's worries, a beautiful woman and a half-year-old boy appeared at the entrance of the passage. If you look closely, the complexion of this young man in brocade clothes is very similar to Jusuke's.
Seeing these two people, Jushou's eyes showed a trace of tenderness. He knew that his days of watching theaters should be over. Even if it was not for himself, then for the sake of his children and wife, he could not let the thieves break into the county town.
"Aweng, I heard from Lu Bo that the thieves have broken through the Wuruan Pass. Are they going to attack Guangchang?" Jushou came to his father and carefully asked about his worries.
"Haha, Hu'er, don't worry. The thieves may have the intention to attack Guangchang, but the walls of Guangchang are high and deep, and the soldiers are vast. It is not something that the thieves can defeat if they want to." Looking at his children and his wife, Jushou rarely said something against his will.
It is true that Guangchang City is high and deep, and it is true that the soldiers are widely equipped. However, this offensive and defensive battle seems to have nothing to do with it.
"Mr. Sir, I have been feeling unwell these days. Hu'er has been away from home for a long time, and Uncle Weng will be worried about her..." As the daughter of a wealthy family, Mrs. Ju is knowledgeable. She knows her husband's situation. She is also worried about her husband and children. She said a lot before, but she actually expressed her meaning euphemistically.
go home!
Jushou understood what his wife meant, but did he really want to abandon his official position and go home?
Jushou hesitated in his heart.
Think about it, it takes the whole family's efforts to gain the reputation of being a talented person, and through this, they can seek the position of the county king. Although Guangchang is located in an extremely remote location in the Taihang Mountains, and he has been ignored, at least his reputation as county king still exists. If, fearing the power of thieves, you abandon your official position and return home, all your family's efforts will be wasted. From now on, where will your future be?
Never go home!
After thinking for a long time, Jushou made his decision.
"Xi Jun, you can rest assured and take good care of Hu'er, Guangchang City will not suffer any loss." Jushou stood up, took a reassurance for his wife, and persuaded his wife and children to return to the back hall.
For the sake of his wife, his children, and himself, it is time to consider how to deal with the situation in Guangchang City...
"Mr. Gao, the thieves have broken through the Wuruan Pass. What should we do?" The big families in the city once again gathered at the Gao family. Chen Sheng, the leader of the Chen family, the second most powerful family in Guangchang City, asked Gao Lin anxiously.
When Gao Lin heard Chen Sheng's inquiry, he saw sweat on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth turned up and down slightly unconsciously.
As the descendants of Chen Ping, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, how could the Chen family be like this when things happened? The Chen family in Guangchang has lost such a good family background in vain. The next generation is inferior to the previous generation, which is a disgrace to the ancestors of the Chen family.
Criticisms come from the belly, and things still have to be dealt with.
Gao Lin looked at the chiefs of the big and small families who had gathered together anxiously, thought for a moment, and said: "Everyone, this is a time of life and death for Guangchang City. I hope that everyone will not hide their secrets. We should work together to reject the Zhang thief... …”
Gao Lin kept talking, telling his thoughts one by one.
Everyone in the hall listened to what he said, nodding or frowning, and there were endless whispers in the hall.
The first is to close most of the troops stationed at each pass.
Everyone agreed on this point. After all, several passes around Guangchang City are still relatively peaceful. There is no news of thieves or harassment for the time being. A few people are left on duty, and most of the others return to Guangchang. , This is the right intention to deal with Zhang Thief.
Article 2: The servants and private soldiers of each family are centrally dispatched and used centrally.
Regarding this article, everyone is more or less resistant to it.
In troubled times, everyone wants to keep some manpower at hand to protect their lives. Now, wouldn't this centralized dispatch be equivalent to taking away the time for the guards in the mansion? What if something happens in the city, how to deal with it? In addition, who is commanding these servants and private soldiers? How to distribute? What if someone uses one of their own people as cannon fodder?
As for the third and fourth items that follow, no one talks about why tenants are asked to help defend the city and the people in the city gather, because that is what the question is supposed to mean.
Gao Lan, who was standing at the door, felt quite disdainful as he listened to the discussion in the hall.
When did this happen? Why are two of them still arguing over trivial matters? In a dignified family, thieves have already come to the door, but no one stands up to defeat the thieves?
Sigh, sad, ridiculous...
Listening to the whispers below, Gao Lin knew that if the discussion continued like this, they might not come up with a result if the thieves broke through the city. For the sake of the ancestor's inheritance, it was time for the Gao family to stand up.
"Everyone, the matter has come to this. If you have a good way to defeat the thief, you can ensure that the thief is defeated, and the entire Gao family is willing to listen to his orders and hand over all his servants to help him defeat the enemy. If you don't have a good way to defeat the thief, then Everyone, please listen to Gao's orders and help Gao to defeat the enemy." After Gao Lin finished speaking, his eyes majestically scanned the people in the hall.
All the families have no objections.
One by one, the servants rushed out of Gao's mansion with Gao's orders, and the scouts galloped out of the city and scattered in all directions.
Guangchang City is busy again...
