Chapter 107: We can make a contribution

Looking at Wang Shu who was froze in the local area, Gao Xiangsheng smiled and walked back to the brazier slowly, sat on the small table next to him, picked up the wine glass, raised it, and said, "Shu Shu, why not have a drink first?"

Wang Shu took a deep breath and waved his hand. Wang Quan and the butler immediately retreated outside the door and closed the door tightly.

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

"No, I'm very timid!" Gao Xiangsheng stroked his face full of bumps, and a look of remembrance appeared on his face: "Since I survived by chance, I have been afraid of death very much. I am not sure, and I will never take risks."

Wang Shu was stunned. The last time Gao Xiangsheng was discovered by the Liang army. After a fierce battle, Gao Xiangsheng raised fire and burned himself, but was finally snatched out by the Liang army. Given the importance of Gao Xiangsheng, the Liang army rescued him. In the end, one of the bargaining chips for Liang army to exchange for Zhu Youzhen was Gao Xiangsheng.

"Since I'm timid, I dare to appear in Chang'an City? Do you know that as long as I give you an order, you will be imprisoned immediately?" Wang Shu said with a sneer.

Gao Xiangsheng took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Wang Zhongshu, is there anyone who listens to what you say now? What is Chang'an City like now? You are more clear than me, right? If Chang'an City didn't look like this now, how could I have the courage to appear in front of you?"

"Even if Chang'an City is not like now, it's still very easy for me to kill you, and I don't even need to use the power of the government. In my mansion, I want to kill you, just by turning my hands!" Wang Shu said coldly.

Gao Xiangsheng laughed: "This is true. But is your Wang Zhongshu like this impulsive person? You always have a delusion in your work, thinking about it, and wishing to think about the possible consequences of something that may occur in decades. Will you kill me at this time and add another charge 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 you probably don't know yet, right? Your Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Daliang is probably about to arrive in Hanzhong at this moment. His 50,000 elite army should be struggling in the Qinling Mountains at this moment, right?"

With a sound, the wine glass in Wang Shu's hand fell off the table, and the best spirits flowed down the table and into the brazier beside the table. With a sound of surging, the green and miserable flames surged high.

"Impossible, Your Majesty is going to fight Tu Lichun, Wang Sili to fight to defend the enemy outside Chang'an City!" Wang Shu said sternly.

Gao Xiangsheng smiled, but was too lazy to defend Wang Shuduo's question. Instead, he took a sip of wine leisurely and said, "This morning, Hao Ren, the general in front of the palace, once led his troops into the inner city. You wouldn't know about this? He took Zhu Youzhen's family away and left Chang'an at this moment, and was also heading towards the Qinling Mountains."

"He, with the emperor's will, he said that the Palace Front Office took over all the guards in the entire imperial city and the inner city." Wang Shu said in a daze.

"It seems that you, the Secretary of the Central Committee, are left behind in Chang'an, and they have never believed you!" Gao Xiangsheng chuckled and said, "This matter is no longer a secret at this moment. If you send your confidant subordinates to chase you, you might be able to catch up with Hao Ren."

Wang Shu sat there like a clay sculpture, but there was no movement.

"Wang Zhongshu, how about being abandoned?" Gao Xiangsheng asked sarcastically.

Wang Shu felt like he was knocked hard on the head, and even covered his face with both hands, crying bitterly: "Why is this so? Why is this so? Tongguan has not been lost, and there is still a hundred thousand troops in Chang'an. Nanxingxun has launched a full-scale attack on Li Ze. You can still try it, but you can still try it!"

"It's a big deal!" Gao Xiangsheng replied coldly: "If Zhu Youzhen is still in Chang'an, what should I do? Should the soldiers not eat? There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City, so don't these people not eat? You are the Secretariat, so you should be very clear about what the reserves in Chang'an City are like!"

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 came to save you!" Gao Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "I have never done anything like mocking people, or I just killed them with one knife. I have never done anything like mocking people because it does not benefit me."

"Save me, what are you going to save me? Will Li Ze let me go?" Wang Shu said with a tragic smile.

"Of course I have a way to save you. I said, I never do meaningless things." Gao Xiangsheng said: "As long as you do the rest, even if Li Xiang enters Chang'an, even if you can't keep your wealth and honor, it's always okay to leave your life. Your Wang clan will be spared."

Wang Shu stared at Gao Xiangsheng with his eyes: "Let me tell me, what else can I do now?"

Gao Xiangsheng stood up, pushed open the window, looked at the magnificent Tang Dynasty imperial city and palace city with the golden wall in the distance, and said, "It's all you can do to ensure that a complete Chang'an is handed over to Li Xiang without any damage. This is the only thing you can do now."

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

"Do you think this is a simple thing?" Gao Xiangsheng sneered: "Now Chang'an City is completely out of control. This is just the spontaneous action of some mobs who have completely lost hope. Outside Chang'an City, there are three camps, and 40,000 to 50,000 original Shence Army camps. They don't know that Zhu Youzhen has abandoned them, and the food and grass in their camps can be managed for about three or five days. The news of Zhu Youzhen's escape will be leaked soon. By then, once these troops become in chaos, Chang'an will suffer a catastrophe."

Wang Shu suddenly realized.

"Li Xiangke didn't expect that he would see Chang'an in ruins!" Gao Xiangsheng said, "So Wang Zhongshu, this is your last chance. You all know the generals of the Shence Army, and they have always had a good relationship with you."

"Do you want me to gather them all and then defend Chang'an?" Wang Shu whispered. "I wonder what conditions did General Gao give them?"

"Gao only has one guarantee. As long as they do this, they will be safe and worry-free at that time." Gao Xiangsheng said: "The rest of the matter is not something that Gao can decide."

"How can this make them bow their heads?" Wang Shu said in embarrassment: "They just want wealth."

Gao Xiangsheng said coldly: "If you want too much, you may not get anything in the end. They can think carefully. If they don't agree to do this, what will happen if our Tang army enters Chang'an? At that time, let alone wealth, they will not be able to save their lives. Which one is more important, they will choose!"

"I will do my best!" Wang Shu said helplessly: "I will ask them to come to my mansion immediately, or if there are some things that General Gao will tell them personally, and the effect will be better."

"It's all!" Gao Xiangsheng nodded.

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

Like Wang Shu, when they learned the truth of the entire incident, they were shocked, panic and fear intertwined. They were already desperate for the future, and now they are at their peak.

Wang Shu's suggestions made them see such a slight hope in despair.

High elephant rise appears in time.

These three were just intermediate generals in the Shence Army before, and when Gao Xiangsheng left Chang'an, he was already the central general of the gatekeeper. Naturally, the level and status of these three people were not matched by them.

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

Gao Xiangsheng only ensured their lives without worries and their private property would not be confiscated, but he would never let go of others.

"I wonder what General Wu thinks that besides what I said, there are other things you can do?" Looking at the three of them, Gao Xiangsheng said relaxedly.

He thought it would take some time to convince these three people, but he could not have imagined that he would have surrendered them so easily.

"General You may not be able to easily capture Tongguan's natural danger. If we organize an army and launch a sudden attack on them from the rear, it would be impossible to help the Tang army easily capture Tongguan. This should be considered a great contribution, right?" Wu Houdao.

"Do you think your army can do this?" Gao Xiangsheng was a little disbelief. The army in Tongguan was an elite army under Cao Xuan's command, a war-making army, and the Shen Ce soldiers here in Chang'an, to put it bluntly, were just a group of wastes. Otherwise, Zhu Youzhen would not have been so straightforward when he abandoned them.

Wu Hou blushed a little, but still said, "There are still some soldiers under the command of the three of us who can recruit soldiers who are used to fighting. Although the number of people is not too large, by surprise, it will inevitably lead to the morale of the Tongguan army being disintegrated and panic. Isn't this an opportunity to take advantage of?"

Gao Xiangsheng understood. Personal soldiers, the personal soldiers of these people.

This was originally a practice of the Tang army in the past. In the past, the generals of the Tang Dynasty would greed for most of the soldiers' wages to support their own soldiers. When fighting, they basically relied on this team of personal soldiers. However, after going to the north for a long time, they were used to seeing the appearance of the Tang army under Li Ze's command, he actually forgot about these bad habits.

"How many people can you all organize together?"

"Together, three to five thousand people can still be pulled out." Wu Hou glanced at Gou Rong, Chen Xi and the others glanced at him.

Gao Xiangsheng said, "Forty or fifty thousand troops can fight, only three or five thousand people can fight."
