Wu Jun narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something, but this time he was seen by another civil servant, Huang Yuting, who was sitting across from him. Huang Yuting was no match for Wu Jun. He was the first subordinate to defect to Gao'an. Loyalty. Of course, Huang Yuting can see clearly who is loyal to Gao An, Wu Jun and Yang Wutao.

It’s just that it’s not time to turn his face with Wu Jun, Huang Yuting can only reconcile in order to avoid the conflict between Wu Jun and Yang Wutao from becoming too intensified. Seeing that the two of them were still arguing, he hurriedly said: "General Yang, now is not the time to be impulsive. Now that Fujian Road is at a critical juncture, you must be cautious with every step. It is a pity that the gloss is lost, but it's not the case. Worst case. The general might as well go to rest first and prepare to help the adults defend Jianzhou. Jianzhou is our foundation. Only defending Jianzhou is the most important thing. What does the general think?"

Huang Yuting's words can be regarded as a step for Yang Wutao, and he blocked Wu Jun's stinky mouth. Yang Wutao is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Seeing that Gao An hasn't answered his request, he knows that Gao An is not optimistic about his re-entry.

This originally made Yang Wutao a little embarrassed, but now I heard Huang Yu quite say this, just having an excuse to retreat, Yang Wutao nodded and bowed to Gao An: "So, the end will retire!" After receiving Gao An's approval, Yang Wutao stood up. , First gave Wu Jun a fierce look, then turned around and retreated

In any case, Yang Wutao and Wu Jun finally didn't make a fuss, Gao An also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then said to everyone present: "Now Xia Jun has broken through the luster, and will soon arrive in Jianzhou. Xia Jun is so powerful, how should our army resist, and I would like to ask you all to offer advice and suggestions to help me get through this. Difficulty."

After Gao An's words were said, the whole hall was silent, and no one came up with an idea. There is only one topaz left in Gao An's direct line, but Huang Yuting's strengths are not in this marching plan, and now he can't help Gao An at all. Among the Fujian Lu family, the only Shen family who truly trusted Gao An, and only one Shen Tao stayed here, but compared to his brother Shen Zhu, Shen Tao was not only a little worse, Gao An did not expect him to be able to Tell me what a good idea. The remaining faction officials of the Wu family and the Chen family had their own ghosts, and none of them had sincerely considered Gao An.

Looking at the silent people sitting down, Gao An's eyes were full of disappointment. He regretted now, why would he agree to Tong Wenbo and let him go to Guixi. If Tong Wenbo is by his side at this moment, it will help Gao An to some extent, at least it will not let Gao An be isolated and helpless as it is now, and fall into such an embarrassing situation.

Taking a deep breath, Gao An, even if he had another city mansion, was a little bit embarrassed at this moment. Even though he gave a cold snort, he waved his hand and left. And at this moment, a soldier ran into the chamber quickly, clasped his fist and shouted at Gao An with anxious expression: "My lord! A large number of enemy troops were found outside the city."

"What?" Gao An immediately jumped up in shock, and everyone present was shocked. People such as Wu Jun and others had even started whispering, secretly discussing whether to discard Gao An and switch to Xia Cheng. .

Huang Yuting also stood up, looked at the soldier with a face of disbelief, and exclaimed: "How is this possible? Even General Yang has only just returned to Jianzhou just now! Did Xia Jun take a break? There's none?"

And Gao An is also a veteran who has experienced many battles. After the initial surprise, Gao An quickly calmed down. He lowered his head to think for a moment, and then said: "Okay, don't think about it so much, let's go to the city to see the situation." After that, Gao An did not wait for Wu Jun and others to answer, and strode directly towards the hall. Go outside.

And Huang Yuting only froze for a moment, and then he grabbed Shen Tao who was still in a daze, and quickly followed. As for Liu Jiajun and other officials from the family of Fujian road officials, they did not choose to follow suit. Instead, they talked with each other with different looks, seeming to be discussing something.

Gao An had just walked out of Fujian Lujinglue's Mansion, turned his head and saw that only Huang Yuting and Shen Tao followed, his expression also very complicated. He looked around and confirmed that the soldiers around were his confidants, and Gao An stopped.

Waiting for Huang Yuting and Shen Tao to catch up, Gao An said to Huang Yuting: "Huang Yuting, go and call Yang Wutao. It seems that there is no time for him to rest, so that he can carry everything he can. All the soldiers and horses of the country rushed to the top of the city."

"Yes!" Huang Yuting knew that the matter was urgent, but only bowed his hand to Gao An, and rushed out immediately without daring to stay for a moment.

After Huang Yu walked away, Gao An was the one who grabbed Shen Tao and said in a deep voice, "Shen Tao! Come here, I have important things to do for you." Gao An has already settled a marriage with Shen Tao's sister. Soon, Gao An will marry the Shen family, so Shen Tao is also Gao An's future brother-in-law, so Gao An still trusts him.

Similarly, Shen Tao is very loyal to Gao An. Although Shen Tao's mind may not be as flexible as his brother Shen Zhu, Shen Zhu had previously explained to Shen Tao that the Shen family will serve Gao An wholeheartedly in the future. Therefore, Shen Tao also identified Gao An as the master. Hearing that Gao An wanted to give himself an important task, Shen Tao immediately clasped his fists in excitement and shouted: "My lord! Just say what you want."

Gao An is not welcome, leaning his head towards Shen Tao, and said in a low voice: "Shen Tao, you immediately mobilize all available people in the Shen family. I want you to get rid of the Wu family and take over the Wu family in the shortest possible time. The forces in Jianzhou City."

As soon as Gao An said this, Rao Shen Tao was shocked. As a wealthy official family on Fujian Road, Shen Tao certainly knows how powerful the Wu family is on Fujian Road. The Wu family is far stronger than the Shen family, and the Wu family's power is mostly in the military, which can be said to control the most important military power on Fujian Road. The Shen family was originally from an official and business background. If it is said that it is more or less wealthy, I believe that no one on Fujian Road can compare to the Shen family, but if the Wu family is eliminated, the Shen family will definitely not have that strength!

Seeing Shen Tao staring at him stunned, Gao An knew that Shen Tao hadn’t understood what he said, and even patiently explained: “Now Jianzhou is about to be surrounded, whether it is the Wu family or the Chen family, what they can control now , Only the forces in Jianzhou are left. I believe that the strength of the Jianzhou family alone shouldn’t be worse than that of the Wu family? In addition, I asked Yang Wutao to bring soldiers and horses to help you. It is not difficult to get rid of the Wu family. However, what is really difficult is how you should take over the Wu family's power in Jianzhou in the shortest possible time, especially the control of the army."

At present, Jianzhou is about to go to war. The most taboo thing about this war is that the military order cannot be unified. If it's normal, it's fine, but if there is a war, this problem can have a big impact. Maybe it will turn a must-win battle into a big defeat.

Now that the army is close to the city, Gao An will of course not allow such a thing to happen, so Shen Tao will find a way to get rid of the Wu family who is most likely to betray and take over the forces in the army.

After listening to Gao An's explanation, Shen Tao finally realized that actually getting rid of Liu Jiajun was not as unrealistic as he thought. He slapped his chest and said, "Don’t worry, my lord, I’m going to summon the family soldiers at home now. As long as General Yang helps, I will definitely be able to pull out all the staff that Wu’s family has arranged in the city. Without those people, I have to deal with them. It's easy for the Wu family."

"Yeah!" Seeing Shen Tao agreeing, Gao An also nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time patted Shen Tao on the shoulder, and said: "Okay! Shen Tao will leave everything to you, I know you are very good at it. , I believe you will not let me down."

With a few words, Gao An flicked Shen Tao extremely excited, and bowed to Gao An with a fist, and happily went to perform the task that Gao An entrusted to him. After Shen Tao also left, Gao An just turned his head and glanced at the Fujian Provincial Route, and made sure that no one was following. Gao An narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, then turned on his horse and hurried towards the gate of the city.

After Gao An arrived at the city, he was relieved immediately. Because he saw the situation outside the city, it was not as bad as he thought. Although there are a large number of Xia troops outside the city, they are only three or four thousand at most.

It seemed that Yang Lin wanted to sneak attack on Jianzhou, so he chose elite men to ride a fast horse and speed up the march to come here. However, Yang Lin probably didn't expect that Gao An sent someone to close the four city gates early and increased the number of guards. He didn't give anyone a chance to attack at all, and Yang Lin's wishful thinking was doomed to fail.

Under the reflection of the candlelight in the room, it looks extra hideous. Wu Jun glanced at the five important members of the family present, and said: "Now that Xia Cheng's soldiers and horses have already gone outside Jianzhou City, we should have made a decision. If it is too late, it might affect us. The future fortune of the Wu family."

Wu Jun said so, and everyone present was no longer silent. A man sitting on the left hand side of Wu Jun nodded and said, "General, in my opinion, we might as well open the city gate secretly and let Xia Jun enter. City. Now Gao’an’s direct troops have been dispatched to Guixi and Shao Wu’s army. With the troops in the city, it’s impossible to prevent Xia’s offensive. If we continue to follow Gao’an, our Wu family will be in danger. It's better to take advantage of this time to take refuge in Xia Cheng's side early. Maybe, we can take this opportunity to wipe out both the Chen family and the Shen family. At that time, this Fujian Luke will be its turn. Our Wu family has spoken."

This man is Wu Jun's younger brother Wu Yong. He is now the captain of the city gate of Jianzhou and is in charge of the defense of the city gate. At the beginning, the inner Ying sent by Fan Ruwei was listened to by Wu Yong's hands, but later it was Wu Yong who killed the inner Ying with his own hands, and directly forced Fan Ru to death.

Wu Jun seemed to be a little excited about Wu Yong's proposal, but soon another man who looked much older than Wu Jun said: "No, it's natural to take refuge in Xiang Xia Cheng, but we can't do it so quickly. Really To make Xia Cheng remember us, we can only rely on the snow to send charcoal. Now that Xia Jun has not yet begun to attack Jianzhou, it is better to let them fight, let Xia Jun also know that Gao An is very powerful, and we will surrender again. It was reused by Xia Cheng."

This person is Wu Jun’s cousin, Wu Xin, and is considered a pivotal figure in the Wu family. He used to serve as the commander of Fujian Road in his early years, but now he is old enough to resign from his post and return home to provide for the elderly. At the moment this situation is so important and related to the future of the Wu family, so Wu Jun also invited him.

"But, second uncle." Wu Yong was a little confused, and immediately asked: "Here, if Xia Jun breaks Jianzhou, what should we do? Then, our Wu family missed the opportunity. "Wu Jun also had the same question, and turned his head to look at Wu Xin.

"Humph" Regarding Wu Yong's question, Wu Xin snorted coldly, glanced at Wu Yong, and said: "Break through Jianzhou? It's easy to say. You really think that Gao An has no other ability besides bewitching people's hearts. Don’t forget that Gao’an is able to have the current reputation, which is also made with one blow. Although Xia Cheng’s soldiers and horses are strong, Gao’an’s strength is not weak. Xia Cheng’s soldiers and horses want to defeat Gao’an in a short time. , I’m afraid it’s not that easy."

When Wu Xin suddenly said something like this, the brothers Wu Jun and Wu Yong couldn't help being surprised. At the same time, there were Wu Jun's two cousins sitting at the last table, they both looked at Wu Xin with amazement. It's no wonder they were so surprised. After all, Gao An's performance has been very low-key since he entered Fujian Road. Even in the past few months, Gao An sent Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong to suppress bandits on Fujian Road.

In the eyes of the family of road officials and eunuchs in Fujian, Gao An was just a lucky one who happened to have two brave generals. It is precisely because of this that the family of Fujian road officials and eunuchs agreed to promote Gao'an, who came by order, to the position of governor of Fujian Province. The goal was naturally to have a puppet that they could easily control. As for Zhao Gou's imperial edict, it is no different from waste paper.

But Wu Xin is different from Wu Jun and others. He has seen through Gao'an's heroic heart a long time ago, so Wu Xin's attitude towards Gao'an has always been completely opposite to that of the Wu Jun brothers. It's just that now that Wu Xin is getting older, and it's not his turn to decide what happened to the Wu family, this has caused the wrong relationship between Wu family and Gao An.

Although Wu Xin said so, it fell into the ears of Wu Jun brothers, still a little disapproving. In the eyes of Wu Jun and others, this was entirely due to the fact that his second uncle had grown older and became timid and fearful. Just respecting Wu Xin's seniority, Wu Jun didn't say much, but just responded, obviously not taking Wu Xin's words to heart.

Seeing the appearance of Wu Jun brothers, Wu Xin only sighed, and said to Wu Jun and others: "Forget it, now the Wu family is in charge of you, and I won't stay here to annoy you anymore. In the future, you will try to do it yourself. Just destroy the foundation created by the ancestors." After speaking, Wu Xin got up and left the study with a look of loneliness.

Wu Xin was about to leave, so the Wu family brothers naturally stood up respectfully to send them off, but after Wu Xin left, Wu Jun and others immediately changed their faces. Wu Yong slobbed at Wu Xin's back. He cursed fiercely: "Things that don't die know that they rely on the old to sell the old."

"Forget it, leave him alone." Wu Jun also waved his hand indifferently, and then said: "Anyway, I think Gao An must be unable to stop Xia Cheng's attack this time. We should be prepared. That's right. Second brother, you will pick a more sophisticated subordinate later, sneak out from the West Gate, and go to the Xia Jun army camp outside the city to express our Wu family's goodwill to Xia Jun."
