Looking at Wang Shu, who was frozen in the local area, Gao Xiangsheng smiled and walked back to the brazier unhurriedly, sat on the small table next to him, picked up the wine glass, raised it, and said, "Zhongshu, why don't you have a drink first?" ”

Wang Shu took a deep breath and waved his hand, and Wang Quan and the housekeeper immediately retreated to the door and closed the door tightly.

"Gao Xiangsheng, you are quite bold." Sitting at the table, Wang Shu tried his best to calm himself down.

"No, I'm very timid!" Gao Xiangsheng stroked his pimpled faces, with a look of remembrance on his face: "Since the last time I survived, I have been very afraid of death, and I will never take risks if I am not completely sure." ”

Wang Shu was stagnant, the last time Gao Xiangsheng was discovered by Liang Jun, after a vicious battle, Gao Xiangsheng raised fire**, but was finally robbed by Liang Jun, in view of the importance of Gao Xiangsheng, Liang Jun rescued him. In the end, one of Liang Jun's chips to exchange for Zhu Youzhen was Gao Xiangsheng.

"Since you are timid, you dare to appear in Chang'an City? Did you know that if I give you an order, you'll be in jail in no time? Wang Shu sneered.

Gao Xiangsheng took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Wang Zhongshu, now your words, will anyone still listen to them?" What is the city of Chang'an like now, you know better than me, right? If it weren't for Chang'an City being like this now, how would I have the courage to appear in front of you? ”

"Even if Chang'an City is not the same now, but if I want to kill you, it is still very easy, and I don't even need to use the power of the government, in my mansion, I want to kill you, and I will turn my ears between my palms!" Wang Shu said coldly.

Gao Xiangsheng laughed: "That's right. However, are you Wang Zhongshu such an impulsive person? You have always done things in a hurry, thinking about the future, and you can't wait to think about the possible consequences of a thing decades later, will you kill me at this time and add another crime to yourself? ”

Wang Shu's face changed slightly.

Gao Xiangsheng poured a glass of wine for Wang Shu, raised his glass, and said, "Wang Zhongshu, there is one thing, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right?" Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of your Great Liang, is afraid that he is almost in Hanzhong at this moment. His 50,000 elite army should also be trudging through the Qinling Mountains at this moment, right? ”

With a bang, the wine glass in Wang Shu's hand fell off the table, and the best liquor flowed down the table and into the brazier next to the table.

"Impossible, Your Majesty is going to have a decisive battle with Tu Lichun and Wang Sili to defend the enemy outside Chang'an City!" Wang Shu said sharply.

Gao Xiangsheng smiled, but he didn't bother to argue with Wang Shuduo about this issue, but took a leisurely sip of wine, and said: "This morning, Hao Ren, the commander of the army in front of the palace, once led his troops into the inner city, you don't know about this, right?" He was ordered to take away Zhu Youzhen's family, and at this moment, he left Chang'an and was also heading in the direction of Qinling. ”

"He, he took the emperor's will, saying that it was the front division of the palace to take over all the guards in the entire imperial city and the inner city." Wang Shu lost his mind.

"It seems that you, a Chinese book, stayed in Chang'an, and people have never believed you at all!" Gao Xiangsheng laughed and said: "This matter is no secret at the moment, if you send your henchmen to chase after you, you may be able to catch up with Hao Ren." ”

Wang Shu sat there like a clay sculpture, but he didn't move.

"Wang Zhongshu, how does it feel to be abandoned?" Gao Xiangsheng asked sarcastically.

Wang Shu was like being hit the head, he actually covered his face with both hands, and cried bitterly: "Why is it so, why is it so, Tongguan has not been lost, there are still 100,000 troops in Chang'an, and the southern direction training has launched a full-scale attack on Li Ze, it is still possible to fight, it is still possible to fight!" ”

"Fight a fart!" Gao Xiangsheng replied coldly: "If Zhu Youzhen is still staying in Chang'an, what will you fight?" Don't soldiers want to eat? There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City, don't these people want to eat? You are a Chinese book, you should be very clear about the situation of the reserves in Chang'an City! ”

Wang Shu raised his head, his face full of tears: "Gao Xiangsheng, are you here today to mock me?" ”

"Of course not, I said, I'm here to save you!" Gao Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "I have never done this kind of thing to mock people, or I have killed them with a knife, and I have never done this kind of thing to mock people, because it is not beneficial to me." ”

"Save me, what do you do to save me? Will Li Ze let me go? Wang Shu laughed miserably.

"Of course I have a way to save you. As I said, I never do things that don't make sense. Gao Xiangsheng said: "As long as you do the rest of these things, even if you wait until Li Xiang enters Chang'an, even if you can no longer keep your wealth, it is always no problem to leave a life, and your Wang family will be spared because of this." ”

Wang Shu glared at Gao Xiangsheng: "Tell me to listen, now, what else can I do?" ”

Gao Xiangsheng stood up, pushed open the window, looked at the Tang Imperial City and the Palace City with the golden walls in the distance, and said, "Do everything you can to ensure that a complete Chang'an is handed over to Li Xiang without damage, this is the only thing you can do now." ”

"That's it?" Wang Shu was a little incredulous.

"Do you think it's a simple thing to do?" Gao Xiangsheng sneered: "Now Chang'an City is completely out of control. And that's just the spontaneous actions of a mob that has lost all hope. And outside Chang'an City, there are still three large battalions, as well as forty or fifty thousand original Shence army battalions, they still don't know that Zhu Youzhen has abandoned them, and the grain and grass in their camp can probably be managed for three or five days. The news of Zhu Youzhen's escape will soon leak out, and at that time, once these troops are in chaos, Chang'an will suffer a catastrophe. ”

Wang Shu suddenly realized.

"Li Xiang doesn't want to see Chang'an in ruins when the time comes!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "So Wang Zhongshu, this is your last chance. You know all the generals of the Divine Army, and they have always had a good relationship with you. ”

"You want me to gather them all and defend Chang'an?" Wang Shu said in a low voice. "I don't know what conditions you gave them, General Gao?"

"Gao has only one guarantee, as long as they do this, when the time comes, they can have no worries about their lives." Gao Xiangsheng said: "Other things are not something that Gao can say." ”

"How can this make them bow their heads to their ears?" Wang Shu said in embarrassment: "They are only afraid that they still want to be rich." ”

Gao Xiangsheng said coldly: "If you want too much, you may not get anything in the end." They can think about it for a while, if they don't promise to do this thing well, when our Tang army enters Chang'an, what will happen to them? At that time, not to mention wealth, they will not even be able to save their lives, so it is up to them to choose which is more important! ”

"I'll do my best!" Wang Shu said helplessly: "I will immediately ask people to invite them to my mansion, or, some things, General Gao will personally come and tell them, the effect will be better." ”

"Yes!" Gao Xiangsheng nodded.

That night, the commanders of the three battalions outside Chang'an City, Gou Rong, Zhao Xi, and Wu Hou, gathered in Wang Shu's mansion.

Like Wang Shu, when they learned the truth of the whole incident, they were shocked, terrified, and fearful, and they were already desperate for the future, but now they are even more extreme.

Wang Shu's suggestion made them see a glimmer of hope in despair.

The high elephant rises at the right time.

These three people used to be just middle-level generals in the Shence Army, and Gao Xiangsheng, when Li Yan left Chang'an, was already a mid-level general of the prison guard, and his rank and status were naturally not comparable to these three people.

"General Gao, if we can make some more contributions, will Li Xiang be more tolerant of us?" Among the three, Wu Hou, the eldest, spoke.

Gao Xiangsheng only ensured that their lives were worry-free and that their private property would not be confiscated, but the rest would not let go.

"I wonder what General Wu thinks you can do other than what I said?" Looking at the three of them, Gao Xiangsheng said easily.

He thought it would take a lot of effort to convince the three of them, but he didn't expect to submit them so easily.

"Tongguan is dangerous, and General You may not be able to take it easily. If we organize an army and launch a surprise attack on them from the rear, it is impossible to say that we can help the Tang army easily take Tongguan, which should also be regarded as a great merit, right? Wu Houdao.

"Do you think your army can do this?" Gao Xiangsheng was a little unconvinced. The army in Tongguan is the elite under Cao Xuan, the soldiers of a hundred battles, and the Shence soldiers here in Chang'an, to put it mildly, are a bunch of waste, otherwise Zhu Youzhen would not have been so simple when he abandoned them.

Wu Hou blushed a little, but still said: "Under the command of the three of us, there are still some soldiers who can recruit accustomed to war. Although the number of people is not too much, if it is unexpected, it will inevitably make the Tongguan army dishearten and panic, isn't this an opportunity? ”

Gao Xiangsheng understood. Pro-soldiers, pro-soldiers of these people.

This was originally the practice of the Tang army in the past. In the Tang Dynasty in the past, the generals would be greedy for most of the soldiers' salaries to support their own soldiers, and when they were fighting, they basically relied on this team of soldiers. It's just that he has been in the north for a long time, and he is used to seeing the appearance of the Tang Army under Li Ze, and he has forgotten these bad habits a little.

"The three of you, how many people can you organize together?"

"If we are all together, 3,000 to 5,000 people can still pull it out." Wu Hou glanced at Gou Rong and Chen Xi and said.

Gao Xiangsheng shouted, forty or fifty thousand troops, and there are only three or five thousand people who can fight.

However, what Wu Rong said is still reasonable, if these three or five thousand people can really pull out the strength to fight, for Tongguan, it will be the last straw that crushes the camel.
