Yang Tianlong was finally defeated, and the 10,000 Chinese army was defeated by the generals of Liu De, Hu Wei, Guan Yu, Yang Ye, Peng Yue, and Wei Yan.

Yang Tianlong wanted to escape back to Beiping City under the escort of his own guards, but he was blocked by Huo Quzhi's cavalry, and fortunately, Yang Tianshang desperately opened a way for Yang Tianlong to kill, and rushed out of Liu De's encirclement under the cover of dozens of Praetorian Guards.

After Yang Tianshang broke out of the encirclement, he died of excessive bleeding and exhaustion, Yang Tianshang can be said to be very glorious, because he was a bloody way to fight under the obstruction of generals such as Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wei Yan.

Yang Tianlong fled in the direction of the ancient city of Nanping under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards.

Pinggu City is under the control of Uncle Yang.

Yang Tiantan did not escape from Ascension in the end, but was directly shot to death by Zhao Yun, Yang Tianlong's left and right armies also collapsed instantly because of Yang Tianlong's defeat and escape, Yang Bi looked at the messy battlefield, and the gradually approaching Liu De soldiers, unwilling to look up to the sky and roared, in despair, swinging a knife to commit suicide.

Yang Tianlong's rest of the generals fled and surrendered, and the decisive battle finally came to an end in the evening, and Liu De occupied Beiping City.

Liu De, accompanied by the strategists, slowly drove his horse to Yang Tianlong's luxurious and magnificent palace, Liu De has been to Luodu, even the palace of Luodu is not as luxurious as Yang Tianlong's palace, and the only drawback of Yang Tianlong's palace may be that the scale is not as large as the palace of Luodu.

Yu Ban walked quickly to Liu De and bowed his hand: "Lord, there are more than 100 forbidden soldiers in this palace, all of whom have abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and the main roads of each palace have been guarded, and Yang Tianlong's concubine harem has also been gathered in one of the palaces..."

Li Dian also hurriedly rode over and reported to Liu De: "My lord, our army has successfully occupied important places including the government office, granary, and arsenal, and there is some slight resistance, but all of them have been killed on the spot. ”

"Tell the lord that the enemy soldiers who surrendered have all been imprisoned in the barracks outside the city by General Chen!"

"Lord Qi, General Guan asks if he will continue to send people to pursue and suppress the remnants of the enemy!"

"Chase!"

"Yes!" The soldier replied in a loud voice.

Liu De strode into the palace, and ordered as he walked: "Xu Shu, you issued a notice to appease the people in the city, if there are those who take the opportunity to make trouble and commit murder, they will be killed directly on the spot, and there will be a curfew, and those who go out at will at night will be directly arrested and imprisoned." Li Yuanfang led the Hanging Mirror Division to assist Xu Junshi! ”

"The minister {the last general} takes the order!"

Xu Shu and Li Yuanfang directly received the order.

"Fan Zhongyan, you go and take over the government office, count all the population, taxes, and acres of land in Beiping City, register and make a register, and properly seal it!"

"I'll do it right away!"

Fan Zhongyan also hurriedly took some of the soldiers down, counting all the detailed data of Beiping City was a very cumbersome matter, and Fan Zhongyan did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"Dai Zong, you immediately take someone to control the Beiping Prison and prevent anyone from happening."

"Cheng Yu, you go to appease the Beiping City family and tell them that as long as they are honest and keep to me, I will never touch them!"

"Jian Yong, you go and count our casualties, and report to me later!"

The three of them came out of the ranks and received the order.

After Liu De finished ordering, there were only three people left around him: Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Yu Ban, and Liu De found a stone bench at random and sat on it.

Xu Chu suggested on the side: "If the lord is tired, it is better to go into the hall and rest!" With me and Brother Dian here, no one will be able to disturb the lord. ”

"Okay, there's no need, it's not a good reputation for me to sleep in the palace!" Liu De waved his hand, "I'll just rest here!" ”

Xu Chu said angrily: "What's this, the lord will sit on the emperor's throne sooner or later, what's the big deal about sleeping now!" ”

"Xu Chu, shut up!"

Liu De scolded, Xu Chu came to his senses and quickly closed his mouth.

Liu De also knew that Xu Chu was just an unintentional mistake, and there was no need to blame.

Liu De turned his head and asked Yu Bandao: "You tell me about some situations in the palace!" Have all Yang Tianlong's heirs been caught? ”

Yu Bandao: "Lord Qi, Yang Tianlong has a total of three sons and two daughters, of which the eldest daughter, two daughters, and three sons are all imprisoned with Yang Tianlong's concubines, Yang Tianlong's eldest son fell into the river and died in the process of escaping, and the second son disappeared and could not be found. However, now that the city gate is closed, if he is still in Beiping City, he will definitely not be able to escape. ”

"Alright, get out of here! You don't have to spend manpower looking for a small child, it's not necessary. Liu De got up from the stone bench, patted his buttocks and said.

At this time, Dai Zong picked up the Divine Movement Technique, rushed over, and bowed to Liu De: "Lord, I found Gao Lin, an important minister under Yang Tianlong, in the prison, what should I do?" ”

Liu De asked curiously, "Gao Lin? Is it the minister of Shangshu of the puppet emperor's court? He is an important minister under Yang Tianlong, Yang Tianlong should be next to Yang Tianlong when he goes on the expedition, why is he in prison? ”

"This is the man! According to the jailer, Gao Lin was put in prison because he persuaded the puppet emperor to enter the city to avoid the edge of our army, which made the puppet emperor quite angry! Dai Zong replied.

"At that time, if Yang Tianlong hid in Beiping City, it would probably not be so easy for us to break through the city, this Gao Lin is quite strategic, but unfortunately I don't understand Yang Tianlong's temperament, so I ended up like this!" Liu De sighed: "Bring Gao Lin over!" ”

When Gao Lin was escorted over, his whole body was quite neat, and it was also, after all, Gao Lin was an important minister under Yang Tianlong, and the jailers did not dare to humiliate him when Gao Lin was not really convicted by Yang Tianlong.

When Gao Lin saw Liu De, he bowed his hand to Liu De without humility or arrogance: "Gao Lin, the minister of Zhao Guoshangshu, meets the general of the chariot cavalry!" ”

Liu De looked at Gao Lin with a calm face, and chuckled: "What a bold Gao Lin, you still dare to call yourself the Minister of Zhao Guoshang?" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”

Liu De asked, and then used stunts to check Gao Lin's attributes:

---------------------

has good ability, worthy of being Yang Tianlong's right-hand man, Yang Tianlong despises Gao Lin so much, it really shouldn't be, Liu De has a heart of love.

Gao Lin did not see the color of timidity, and bowed calmly: "I have persuaded Your Majesty, although the Zhou room has declined, but the hearts of the people still exist, this is not a good time to call the emperor, but unfortunately Your Majesty does not listen, now Your Majesty has called the emperor, I am Your Majesty's minister, I should die for Your Majesty, why dare not call yourself the minister of Zhao in front of the general!" ”

"You were imprisoned by Yang Tianlong because you persuaded Yang Tianlong to enter the city to hide, so you don't resent him?" Liu De asked.

"I'm just worthy of my heart!" Gao Lin said, although his tone was calm, Liu De still heard a trace of dissatisfaction in Gao Lin's heart, too, the so-called monarch chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the king, if the lord punishes the courtiers at will, there will be complaints in the hearts of the loyal courtiers.

Yu Ban said on the side at this time: "Mr. Gao, the so-called good birds choose trees and perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord and do things, now the name of my lord's benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, the soldiers are flourishing, invincible, and won Beiping City, has been in charge of the land of Sanzhou, Mr. Gao has great talent, why not surrender to my lord, in order to show the ambition of life?" ”

Gao Lin shook his head and said, "Loyal ministers don't serve the two masters!" ”

With that, he closed his eyes and stood aside, no longer speaking.

Dai Zong was angry on the side, pulled out the saber on his waist, and scolded: "What a thing that doesn't know life and death, my lord treats each other with courtesy, you are so ignorant of what to do, you don't know how to call a knife!" ”

Liu De stretched out his hand to stop Dai Zong, and said to Gao Lin: "Since Mr. is unwilling, does Mr. have anything else to say?" ”

Gao Lin shook his head, unwilling to speak again, Liu De was also a little annoyed in his heart, since you want to be loyal to Yang Tianlong, then I will fulfill you!

Liu De waved his hand and asked Dai Zong to take Gao Lin down.

And at this moment, suddenly there was a shout in the distance: "Lord, wait a minute!" ”

Everyone looked over, it turned out that Cheng Yu hurried over, and when he came to Liu De's approach, Cheng Yu bowed to Liu De and said, "Lord, Gao Xi, the younger brother of Gao Lin, begged to see the lord!" ”

"Gao Xi? Did he want to intercede for Gao Lin? ”

Liu De touched the stubble under his chin, and said secretly in his heart: Why do I seem to have heard this name somewhere?

Cheng Yu recommended to the strength of the amount: "Lord, when the minister was in his hometown, he had also heard of the name of Gao Xi, he was rarely talented, intelligent, and talented, why didn't the lord summon a summons and listen to what Gao Xi wanted to say?" ”

Gao Lin heard Gao Xi's name, slowly opened his eyes, and sighed.

Liu De got up and said, "Since that's the case, I would like to meet this Mr. Gao's brother!" Dai Zong, go to the government to clean up a side hall and come out, bring Gao Xi over, remember the soup pot hot wine, this day is really a little cold! ”

After that, Liu De tightened his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and left the palace, at this time, of course, Liu De could not stay in the palace overnight, if it was spread out, the impact would not be good.

Gao Lin was also taken back to the prison by the guards and imprisoned to await Liu De's disposal.

When Liu De arrived at the mansion, the side hall had already been sorted out, and a scholar dressed as a literati stood respectfully aside, presumably Gao Xi.

"Grass people Gao Xi meet the general of the chariot cavalry!"

Gao Xi knelt down to Liu De and said.

"Get up! Sit! ”

Liu De sat on the main seat, pointed to the seat on the side, and said to Gao Xi.

"Thank you, General!"

Gao Xi was worshipping and sat down in his seat quite respectfully, and Liu De used stunts to check Gao Xi's attributes:

I'm going to go!

Liu De didn't care too much about it, but when he saw Gao Xi's attributes, he was completely stunned, intelligence 101, politics 105, stunt Wang Zuo, and even the command was 84!

Is this going to heaven?

"System, who the hell is this person? Did you summon it? Or locals! Liu De quietly asked the system in his heart.

System: "It is summoned by the system, and the player obtains a military general {Wenchen} with a single attribute of more than 90 in the Sui and Tang dynasties in the New Year, and Gao Xi is a famous minister of the Sui Dynasty." ”

Only then did Liu De learn about Gao Xi's deeds, Gao Xi led the generals, prime ministers, and Taichang in the Sui Dynasty, and once broke the lieutenant Chi Yuanjun; He Ruobi and Han Baohu are also recommended; Fighting the Turks and relieving the remnants of the people, there are several meritorious deeds; When destroying Nan Chen, he assisted Yang Guang to pacify Nan Chen in one fell swoop.

However, because of his opposition to the abolition of the crown prince Yang Yong and offended Queen Dugu, he was suspicious of Emperor Wen of Sui, and was removed from the official position of the people, and was removed from the position of duke soon after.

In the third year of the great cause, seeing that Emperor Yang of Sui was extravagant and worried, some people slandered Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Guang issued an edict to kill Gao Gong, He Ruobi, Yu Wenbi and others on the charge of "slandering the government", and self-destructed the Great Wall.

Gao Xi is humble and not arrogant. History says that it has a literary and military talent, and knows the world.

He is also good at identifying and recommending talents, and pays attention to protecting those who have made meritorious contributions. It can be described as a good minister.

Gao Xi saw that Liu De had not spoken, so he waited patiently, and Liu De was quite impressed when he saw this.

So Liu De said to Gao Xi: "I heard Cheng Yu praise you for being famous for your few things, far better than your brother, why didn't you serve the puppet emperor?" ”

Gao Xi smiled and said, "Since you are a puppet emperor, why do you want to work for him?" ”

"Haha!"

Liu De laughed: "What Mr. Gao said is very true, Mr. Gao, please!" ”

Liu De picked up the wine cup and asked Gao Xi. Liu De knew that Gao Xi must have come to intercede for his brother Gao Lin, so Liu De was not in a hurry at all, and there were still important matters in the army, and he would have to deal with them later.

Gao Xi pondered for a moment, and finally spoke to Liu De, "General, I hope that the general can spare my brother's life!" ”

Liu De put down the wine cup, raised his head slightly, and motioned for Gao Xi to continue.

Gao Xi continued: "The elder brother is upright and a little stubborn, often provoking the puppet emperor unhappy, the grass people have persuaded the elder brother many times, but the elder brother told me that this is what the courtiers should do, so the grass people have not persuaded again, now that the elder brother has been captured, the grass people are willing to be loyal to the general, and offer half of the family assets, and persuade the Beiping family to be loyal to the general, to save the life of the elder brother, I don't know if the general agrees?" ”

"Threaten your brother's life to join my command, how could I do such a thing!"

Liu De refused.

"But I agreed to the other two! That's it! Come on, pass the order down, and let Gao Lin go home! ”

"Yes!"

One of the guards quickly went to give the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Xi hurriedly bowed.

"There's no hurry!"

Liu De looked at Gao Xi with a smile at this time.

Gao Xi's heart thumped, and it felt like something bad was about to happen.

"Now that we're done with your brother's business, let's talk about your business!" Liu De picked up the wine cup again, "I want to recruit you as the head of the Cheqi General's Mansion, are you willing?" ”

Gao Xidun bowed and said: "The grass people are willing!" ”
