Chapter 413 Gao Yan (Two in One)

Yang Tianlong was finally defeated. The [-] Chinese Army was defeated without even a single wave under the pincer attack of Liu De's Jishishi, Huwei, Guan Yu, Yang Ye, Peng Yue, and Wei Yan.

Yang Tianlong wanted to escape back to Beiping City under the escort of his personal guards, but Huo Qubing led cavalry to block the gate. Fortunately, Yang Tianshang desperately opened a way for Yang Tianlong, and rushed forward under the cover of dozens of imperial guards. Out of Liu De's siege.

After Yang Tianshang rushed out of the encirclement, he died due to excessive bleeding and exhaustion. Yang Tianshang can be said to be very honorable, because he fought a bloody road under the obstruction of generals such as Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wei Yan.

Yang Tianlong fled towards the ancient city of Nanping under the escort of a dozen personal guards.

Pinggu City is under Uncle Yang's control.

Yang Tiantan failed to escape from Shengtian in the end, but was directly shot to death by Zhao Yun. Yang Tianlong's army on the left and right also collapsed in an instant because of Yang Tianlong's defeat. Yang Bi looked at the messy battlefield and gradually approached General Liu De, unwilling to let out a roar, swung his knife and killed himself in desperation.

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

Accompanied by his counselors, Liu De slowly drove to Yang Tianlong's luxurious and magnificent palace. Liu De has been to Luodu, even Luodu's palace is not as luxurious as Yang Tianlong's palace, the only shortcoming of Yang Tianlong's palace Maybe it's not as big as Luodu's palace.

Yu Jin hurriedly came to Liu De, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there are still more than a hundred imperial guards in this palace, all of whom have abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and guards have been sent to all the main gates of the palace, and Yang Tianlong's concubine's harem has also been gathered. In one of the palaces."

Li Dian also came on horseback in a hurry and reported to Liu Dehui: "My lord, our army has successfully occupied important places including government offices, granaries, and arsenals. There was some slight resistance, but they were all killed on the spot. .”

"Report to my lord, all the enemy soldiers who surrendered have been imprisoned by General Chen in the barracks outside the city!"

"My lord, General Guan asked if he would continue to send people to hunt down the remnants of the enemy!"

"Chase!"

"Yes!" The soldier replied loudly.

Liu De strode into the palace, and ordered as he walked: "Xu Shu, you issue a notice to appease the people in the city. If there are any people who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble or commit crimes, they will be killed on the spot. There will also be a curfew, and those who go out at night will be killed." , Immediately arrested and imprisoned. Li Yuanfang led the Xuanjing Division to assist Xu Junshi!"

"The minister (the last general) takes orders!"

Xu Shu and Li Yuanfang took orders directly.

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

"The minister will do it right away!"

Fan Zhongyan also hurried down with some soldiers. It is a very cumbersome task to collect all the detailed data of Beiping City, and Fan Zhongyan dare not neglect in the slightest.

"Dai Zong, you immediately lead someone to control the Beiping Prison to prevent accidents."

"Cheng Yu, go and appease the family in Beiping City, and tell them that as long as they are honest and behave themselves, I will never touch them!"

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

The three of them came out and took orders.

After Liu De gave his orders, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Yu Jin were left beside him. Liu De found a stone bench at random and sat on it.

Xu Chu suggested from the side: "My lord, if you are tired, why don't you go to the palace to rest! With me and Brother Dian here, no one will disturb the lord."

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

Xu Chuweng said in a low voice: "What's the matter, my lord will sit on the emperor's throne sooner or later, so it's no big deal to sleep now!"

"Xu Chu, shut up!"

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

Liu De also knew that Xu Chu's mistake was just unintentional, so there was no need to blame him.

Liu De turned his head and asked Yu Jin: "Tell me something about the situation in the palace! Have all the descendants of Yang Tianlong been arrested?"

Yu Jin said: "My lord, Yang Tianlong has three sons and two daughters. Among them, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the three sons were all imprisoned with Yang Tianlong's concubines. Yang Tianlong's eldest son fell into the river and died while escaping. Missing and no one to be found. But now that the gates of the city are closed, if he is still inside Beiping City, he will definitely not be able to escape."

"Okay, let's escape! You don't need to spend manpower to find a child, it's not necessary." Liu De got up from the stone bench, patted his buttocks and said.

At this time, Dai Zong used his magical skills to rush over, and said to Liu De, "My lord, I found Gao Lin, an important minister under Yang Tianlong's command, in the prison. How should I deal with it?"

Only then did Liu De ask rather curiously: "Gao Lin? Is he the minister of the puppet emperor's court? He is an important minister under Yang Tianlong's command. Yang Tianlong is supposed to be by Yang Tianlong's side when he goes out to fight. Why is he in the prison?"

"That's the man! According to the jailer, Gao Lin put him in the prison because he persuaded the false emperor to go into the city to avoid our army's sharp edge, which annoyed the false emperor!" Dai Zong replied.

"At that time, if Yang Tianlong hid in Beiping City, it might not be so easy for us to break through the city. Gao Lin is quite strategic, but unfortunately he didn't understand Yang Tianlong's nature, so he ended up like this!" Liu De sighed. One voice: "Bring Gao Lin here!"

When Gao Lin was escorted over, he was quite neat and tidy. After all, Gao Lin was an important minister under Yang Tianlong's command, and the jailers didn't dare to humiliate Gao Lin even if he was not really convicted by Yang Tianlong.

Seeing Liu De, Gao Lin bowed his hands to Liu De neither humble nor overbearing: "Minister Gao Lin of the State of Zhao pays his respects to General Che Qi!"

Liu De looked at Gao Lin with a calm face, and chuckled lightly: "What a bold Gao Lin, how dare you call yourself Minister of the State of Zhao? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

When Liu De asked, he used special skills to check Gao Lin's attributes:

Special skill: capable official [increased efficiency in handling government affairs, increased production of military equipment (armor and blades)] (level [-] internal affairs skill)——
He is very capable, and he is worthy of being Yang Tianlong's right-hand man. It is really wrong for Yang Tianlong to be so contemptuous of Gao Lin. Liu De has a heart for talents.

Gao Lin showed no signs of timidity, and bowed calmly again: "I once advised Your Majesty, although the Zhou family has declined, but the people's hearts are still there, this is not a good time to proclaim yourself emperor, but unfortunately, Your Majesty did not listen, and now Your Majesty has already proclaimed you Emperor." Emperor, I am Your Majesty's minister, and I should die for His Majesty, so why don't you dare to call yourself Zhao Guo's minister in front of the general!"

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

"I have no shame in my heart!" Gao Lin said. Although his tone was calm, Liu De could still hear a trace of dissatisfaction in Gao Lin's heart. Also, the so-called ruler chooses ministers, and ministers also choose rulers. A loyal courtier will also complain in his heart.

At this time, Yu Jin said from the side: "Mr. Gao, it is said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. Now the name of my master's benevolence and righteousness is all over the world. In the land of the three states, Mr. Gao possesses a great talent, why don't you surrender to our lord to fulfill your lifelong ambitions?"

Gao Lin shook his head and said, "A loyal minister does not serve the second master!"

After all, he closed his eyes, stood aside, and stopped talking.

Dai Zong was furious at the side, pulled out the saber at his waist, and cursed: "What a lifeless thing, my lord treats you with courtesy, you are so ignorant of good and bad, and don't know the sharpness of a certain knife!"

Liu De stopped Dai Zong with his hand, and said to Gao Lin, "Since sir is unwilling, is there anything else you want to say?"

Gao Lin shook his head, unwilling to speak anymore, Liu De was also a little annoyed, since you want to be loyal to Yang Tianlong, then I will do it for you!
Liu De waved his hand and asked Dai Zong to take Gao Lin down.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted in the distance: "My lord, wait a moment!"

When everyone looked around, it turned out that it was Cheng Yu who hurried over and approached Liu De. Cheng Yu bowed to Liu De and said, "My lord, Gao Lin, brother of Gao Lin's family, please see my lord!"

"Gao Lin? Is he trying to intercede with Gao Lin?"

Liu De stroked the stubble under his chin, and thought to himself: Where did I seem to have heard this name before?

Cheng Yu recommended to Li'er: "My lord, when I was in my hometown, I also heard of the name of Gao Yu. He has little talent, is extremely smart, and has a great talent. Why don't you summon me and listen to Gao Yu's thoughts?" Say something?"

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

Liu De stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'd like to meet this Mr. Gao's brother! Dai Zong, go to the government office to tidy up a side hall and come out, and bring Gao Yan there. Remember the soup pot and hot wine, this day It's really cold!"

After all, Liu De tightened his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and left the palace. At this time, of course, Liu De couldn't stay overnight in the palace. If the news spread, the influence would be bad.

Gao Lin was also taken back to the prison by the guards and locked up, waiting for Liu De's disposal.

When Liu De arrived at the government office, the side hall had already been tidied up, and a scholar dressed as a literati stood respectfully aside, presumably it was Gao Yan.

"Gao Min, a grass-roots man, pays his respects to the general of chariots and riders!"

Gao Yan knelt down and bowed to Liu De.

"Get up! Sit!"

Liu De sat on the main seat, pointed to the seat beside him, and said to Gao Yan.

"Grassman, thank you General!"

Gao Yan was bowing, and sat down on the seat respectfully. Liu De used special skills to check Gao Xuan's attributes:
Character: Gao Yan

Sex: Male
Age: 32/66
Injuries: Health

Power: in the wild

Identity: family

Official position: none
Title: none
Reputation: 3254
Merit: none

Force: 53

Charisma: 88
Suitability: Infantry S Cavalry B Archers A Weapons A Water Army A

Stunt: Wang Zuo [increases the speed of handling internal affairs, reduces the error rate, and increases the effect; must find talents in the city where it is located; the law and order of the city where it is located will not decline] (level [-] internal affairs skill)——
I'm going!

Liu De didn't care too much at first, but when he saw Gao Yan's attributes, he was completely stunned. His intelligence was 101, his politics was 105, his stunt Wang Zuo, and even his leadership was 84!

Is this going to heaven?

"System, who is this person? Did you summon him? Or a local!" Liu De quietly asked the system in his heart.

System: "It was summoned by the system. Players get a general (civilian) with a single attribute of more than 90 in the Sui and Tang Dynasties during the New Year. Gao Yan is a famous official of the Sui Dynasty."

Only then did Liu De learn about Gao Yan's deeds. Gao Yan led the generals, prime ministers, and Taichang from the official to the left in the Sui Dynasty. When destroying Nanchen, he assisted Yang Guang to pacify Nanchen in one fell swoop.

However, because he opposed the abolition of Prince Yang Yong and offended Empress Dugu, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was jealous and dismissed from office as a citizen, and soon after he was removed from the position of Duke.

In the third year of Daye, seeing Emperor Sui Yang's extravagance and worrying, some people slandered Emperor Sui Yang. Yang Guang issued an edict to kill Gao Jiong, He Ruobi, Yu Wenbi and others on the charge of "slandering the government" and destroy the Great Wall himself.

Gao Yan is humble and does not take credit for himself.It is said in history that he has civil and military talents and understands world affairs.

He is also good at identifying and recommending talents, and pays attention to protecting meritorious ministers.It can be described as a famous minister and good prime minister.

Seeing that Liu De hadn't spoken, Gao Yan waited patiently. Seeing this, Liu De had a good impression.

So Liu De said to Gao Yan: "I heard Cheng Yu boast that you are famous for doing little things, far better than your elder brother. Why didn't you serve the false emperor?"

Gao Yan said with a smile: "Since he is a false emperor, why should I work for him?"

"Ha ha!"

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

Liu De picked up the wine cup and begged Gao Xing.Liu De knew that Gao Yan must have come to intercede for his brother Gao Lin, so Liu De was not in a hurry, and there were still important matters in the army, which he had to deal with later.

After deliberating for a moment, Gao Yan finally spoke to Liu De, "General, I hope the general can spare my brother's life!"

Liu De put down the wine cup, raised his head slightly, and signaled Gao Yan to continue.

Gao Yan continued: "My elder brother is upright and stubborn, and often makes the puppet emperor unhappy. Caomin has persuaded elder brother many times, but elder brother told me that this is what a courtier should do, so Caomin did not persuade him again. Now My elder brother was captured, Cao Min is willing to serve the general, and donate half of his family assets, and persuade the Peking family to be loyal to the general, so as to save his life, I wonder if the general agrees?"

"Using your brother's life to threaten you to join me, how could I do such a thing!"

Liu De refused.

"But I agree to the other two! That's it! Someone, pass the order down, let Gao Lin go back to the mansion!"

"Yes!"

A guard quickly went to deliver the order.

"Caomin thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Yan hurriedly bowed.

"Not in a hurry!"

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

Gao Yan's heart skipped a beat, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Since we've settled your brother's matter, let's talk about your matter!" Liu De picked up the wine cup again, "I want to enlist you as the head of the Cheqi General's Mansion, are you willing?"

Gao Xun bowed down and said, "Cao Min is willing!"
