Feng He's face changed drastically, and he said sternly: "Gao, what do you mean? Do you expose my Feng family's shortcomings here to show your ability? Do you believe it or not? I will tell you what you just said right now."
Report it to His Majesty, and then we will see who is left in your Gao family!"
Han Chuo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Feng He and said: "Brother Feng, please calm down. Brother Gao didn't mean it like this. He just blurted it out in a moment of impatience. What happened last time involved many people, including the Gao family and our Han family."
No matter what, there are also tributaries of the tribe who were involved and died. Brother Ling is not the only one who suffered."
Feng He said bitterly: "When Murong Chao, a boy with unknown origins, came back from the Later Qin Dynasty, we had a meeting together and questioned him. In the end, Prime Minister Han made the decision and said to wait and see first. Didn't you do the same at that time?
Don’t you trust this kid?”
Han Fan sighed: "The matter of the crown prince involves the foundation of the country. I did not take the lead against Murong Chao at that time, not because I had any friendship with him or because I was optimistic about him, but simply because there was no one to succeed the emperor at that time, and the vassal kings were all looking for heirs.
If there is no heir recognized by everyone, I am afraid that Dayan will quickly have an intraclan war like the Hou Yan before. At that time, all of us Han powerful families will be unlucky. We discussed this at the time. Feng Shangshu,
Your brother is stubborn and wants to support Murong Chen. Finally, he was discovered by Murong Chao's spy and reaped the consequences. We can't blame us."
Feng He was speechless for a long time, and then sighed: "Isn't it because Empress Dowager Duan felt that Murong Chao was not obedient enough, especially because she was afraid that the black robe would take the opportunity to seize power, so she wanted to replace him? It's just that we all underestimated the black robe's situation.
Ability, let alone expect that this woman Murong Lan is actually his disciple, and she personally sabotaged this major event!"
Han Fan curled his lips: "Princess Lan is showing mercy. At least, she didn't continue to investigate you from your cousin Ling. Feng Shangshu, don't think that I don't know. You are also deeply involved in this matter!"
Feng He gritted his teeth: "Yes, I did participate at that time, so I haven't been able to sleep well in the past six months. I have nightmares every day that the black robe like executed my cousin and tore me apart. Look at me.
,How much more white hair are there?!"
Gao Gai sneered and said: "After working on it for a long time, it turned out that I was uneasy, so I wanted to take the opportunity to replace Murong Chao. Yes, we all don't like Murong Chao. In the past year since he came to the throne, he has doted on Gongsun Wulou.
People, alienated local rich families like us, even killed many of their Murong family’s veteran generals, and entrusted all military and state affairs to that unknown black robe. Humph, this time he was defeated in the front, don’t think about it
How to change the past, not thinking about how to win the support of local powerful people like us, but they regard us as spies, expel our families, and drive away the Han people in the city. They are so crazy. I think, this Nanyan
We can’t hold on for much longer and we will definitely perish, so what we have to discuss now is what to do next and whether we should seek refuge with Liu Yu.”
Feng He's expression changed: "Lao Gao, are you crazy? Do you really want to surrender to Liu Yu? The Eastern Jin Dynasty has deceived us for so many years, and you still have hope for them?"
Gao Gai gritted his teeth: "A dead horse can be treated as a living horse. Liu Yu is different from any previous Jin generals in the Northern Expedition. He really wants to make great achievements and destroy Hu in the Northern Expedition. If he can really destroy it this time
After leaving Nanyan, I think he will station troops permanently in Qilu and turn it into a prefecture and county instead of just withdrawing from it like before."
Feng He shook his head: "He did win a battle in Linqu, but Nanyan has not yet reached a desperate situation. This Guanggu is a strong city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. These days, Xianbei tribes from all over the country have gathered
At this time, more than 40,000 troops have been reorganized. Including the troops who have been withdrawn from the front line, the number is probably no less than 100,000, and the city will have enough food and grass for a year."
"When the Murong family was in Liaodong, they used thousands of troops to defeat Hou Zhao Shihu's 200,000 troops in Jicheng, and gained a great reputation. It was the Murong family in Hebei when the Northern Wei Dynasty entered the Central Plains and destroyed Hou Yan a few years ago.
Core cities such as Zhongshan, Xindu, and Yecheng also persisted for a long time, leaving the Wei army unable to do anything. Even Tuoba Gui once wanted to withdraw his troops back to the grassland. If Murong Lin had not caused rebellion, I am afraid that Hebei would still belong to the Yan State.
Woolen cloth."
Gao Gai gritted his teeth: "Wealth is sought in danger. Even if we can defend an isolated city in Guanggu, what can we do? Pilu Daoxiu has taken the lead to join Liu Yu. Once the report of the Battle of Linqu spreads to all places, I am afraid that everyone, big and small, will
The powerful Han people will all rush to join Liu Yu. If we are slow to act, I am afraid that the old and new accounts of Jin will be settled together later, and it will be a question mark whether we can continue to hang out in Qilu!"
Feng He said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? We haven't fought yet. In the past, we would make a decision when the situation became clear. Now that the Jin army has not even reached the outside of the city, you are thinking of taking refuge. What are you going to take refuge with?"
Can the people in your hometown respond to you? Or can you help the Jin army open the city gate in this city?"
Gao Gai was at a loss for words for a long time, and then he sighed: "Now I understand how powerful Murong Chao and Heipao were able to issue this order when they were defeated. It can really prevent us from taking refuge with Liu Yu.
, but, since they can’t trust us, why don’t they expel us too?”
Han Chuo's expression was serious: "After all, we are all the clan heads of major families. In this land of Qilu, words are still very useful. If we are returned to our respective hometowns, I am afraid that we will soon call on the whole clan to rise up."
We support Liu Yu, but now they have expelled our family members, but are holding us hostage in the city. The branches of villages and Wubao outside will not dare to take the initiative without the leaders like us taking the lead.
Respond to the Jin army. If our nephew really joins Liu Yu, maybe Murong Chao will attack us."
Gao Gai and Feng He both stood there sadly, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and even the silk official robes were soaked. After a long time, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Could it be that we really can only live with this Nan Yan?"
We live and die together."
Han Fan said calmly: "Gao Shangshu, Feng Shangshu, I understand your anxiety and understand your thoughts, but now we are no longer able to secretly marry Liu Yu. The painful lesson of Feng Pushe last time shows that
Our actions have long been targeted by Heipao and Princess Lan, and we cannot avoid their spies. This expulsion of our family may be a trap set up by them. Depending on our reaction, we must not act rashly at this time.
.One more thing, we are all alone in this city now. Even our nephew's family has been driven out of the city. How can we cooperate with the Jin army? The only solution now is to calm down and continue to wait and see. The first thing is to see Murong Chao and
Whether the black robe can return to the city within two days, let’s worry about it again!”
