Brothers, I have updated the seventh consecutive time, please support me by monthly tickets.

"I decided to open the Yangzhou city gate." said the warrior.

"Governor?" A group of generals and schoolmen in the Governor's Mansion were extremely surprised. He came from Hanjing and was the emperor's confidant. Why did he say that he wanted to open a city at this time?

No one thought that the warrior general said Kaicheng was going to fight against Li Chao.

Warriors knew that when he said this, countless people must have despised him and scolded him for being fickle. But I had no choice, maybe I was wrong from the beginning. He thought to himself that I betrayed my faith for my family.

He looked around the generals, "Do any of you have any objections to this?"

A general from Chang'an asked, "Governor, why?"

With this shout, the hall was silent.

Yes, everyone wants to know why.

The warrior crossed his fingers and leaned back, and he leaned his body as much as possible on the back of the chair.

"Why? Because Your Majesty did not die in the Western Regions."

"Because the Supreme Emperor is actually wrong."

"Because I was wrong before."

"Duke Zhao told me that if you make mistakes, you can correct them. I hope that you can correct them, not for yourself, for our wife and children, and for our family. Everyone, see the reality clearly. This turmoil is doomed to fail. Now, let us do something for our family, for our wife and children."

After hearing the Samurai Tsu, many people lowered their heads.

In this hall, some people actively participated in the restoration and chaos, while some people were passively pulled in, and everyone was different. But since they had already come in, everyone was still hoping that the Supreme Emperor could successfully restore the reign. Many people also believed that the emperor really died in the Western Regions. Although the news was not reliable no matter how you heard this, they believed it wishfully and even expected it to be the fact.

Now, the governor from Hanjing, the confidant member of the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, has no hope for this. If you say such words, the hope in many people's hearts will be shattered.

He rebelled with his head, but now he has declared failure.

Some are sad and some are at a loss.

But some people drew their swords.

"Samurai, you betray Your Majesty!"

The warrior general was not moved at all when facing the sword, but just asked coldly, "Is there anyone else?"

"Who else?"

Another man stood up and drew his sword.

Then the second, the third...

Finally, more than a dozen generals in the hall drew their swords.

"What do you want to do when you draw your sword? Kill me? Then what?"

A general said, "Kill you, a traitor, and we will continue to fight Li Chao here!"

The warrior shook his head, "You can't beat Li Chao."

"We have more soldiers than Li Chao, and there are also Yangzhou Jiancheng, with sufficient weapons and food!"

"You can't beat Li Chao." Samurai said coldly.

The general said angrily, "Dog thief, disrupt our morale, die!"

The warrior shook his head and sighed, "Just with your little mind, I want to beat Li Chao, do you dream? Do you think if I have no arrangements or support, I dare to say these words openly?"

After saying that, he picked up a cup from the table and smashed it on the ground.

Smash the cup as the number.

The door of the hall was knocked open, and teams of warriors rushed in with swords and cards.

The warrior leader had already stood up and retreated to the back.

He pointed at the generals who were unsheathed their swords, "Take them all down for me, and those who dare to resist will kill them!"

This is betrayal, this is also a letter of fame.

The generals changed color one after another, "Samurai, you must die a good death."

"You guys go first." The warrior shook his head.

After a moment, all the generals were disarmed and captured and tied up into rice dumplings.

The warrior ordered these people to be imprisoned, and then his personal soldiers took their own warrants, but opened the city gate and led the royal army into the city.

"Governor, don't you go to welcome Duke Zhao into the city in person?"

"I have something to do, come later."

The Yangzhou city gate slowly opened and the suspension bridge was lowered.

Everything was as agreed. After the warrior returned to the city, he indeed opened the city and surrendered.

Shangguan Yi admired Wang Xuance and said, "The teacher is indeed powerful. He beat 100,000 soldiers with one mouth, and directly persuaded the warrior to surrender."

"No, the teacher was the first formation, but he just went to Mingzhou City alone to persuade him to surrender."

Gao Kan said on the side, "Yes, the teacher persuaded surrender was Senior Brother Su Dingfang."

Li Chao cautiously sent a team of vanguards into the city first. After no problem, he took over the city gate first and then ordered the army to enter the city. The Marines entered one after another and occupied the city gate, warehouse, military camp, yamen and other places step by step as planned.

The Yangzhou defenders did not resist and surrendered one after another.

"Where is Duke Ying?" Among the surrendered civil and military officials, Li Chao did not see the warrior leader.

"The governor said there are still some things to do, and they will be in the study of the governor's office and will not be disturbed."

Li Chao nodded, and then suddenly realized something bad.

"Take me to the study immediately."

When Li Chao arrived, the study room of the Governor's Office was bolted from inside, and after a few screams, he still didn't respond. Li Chao kicked the door open, but he was still one step too late.

The warrior hangs himself on the beam of the study with three-foot white silk, leaving a suicide note on the table.

I hug the person down, but I have no breath, and it is only a step later.

"Why are you so stupid? Why are you so?"

There are four suicide notes, written to Li Chao, Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his wife and children.

Li Chao read all four suicide notes. After reading them, he understood why Warrior Tsang had come to this point. He was grateful to Li Yuan for his always-knowing gratitude, Li Chao and Li Shimin, and full of love for his wife and children.

But when the situation was step by step when he had to choose, no matter how he chose, it was all in contradiction and pain. He originally chose to follow the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, but his wife and children went to the East Palace again. After Li Chao said that to him, he finally chose to open Yangzhou City and surrender.

But not for yourself, but for your wife and children.

When Yangzhou City opened, he felt that he had no face to live in this world anymore. He chose to commit suicide by hanging his beam, an ending that makes people sigh.

Li Chao felt stupid for such behavior, but he admired it because he always had his own persistence in his heart.

"Find the best golden nanmu coffin for Duke Ying and restrain him well. I want to take him back to Hanjing and hand him over to his family for burial."

After being saddened by the in-laws, the warrior, for a while, Li Chao cheered up.

He came to the lobby of the Yangzhou Governor's Office and summoned the civil servants and generals in Yangzhou City, as well as local wealthy businesses and giants.

Yangzhou was not too big in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, trade emerged and Yangzhou became the largest town in the southeast. It was one of the six major ports, and it was also the center of the intersection of north and south. Therefore, a city was built outside the original Yangzhou City. The original Yangzhou City became the yamen city, and the various yamen were located.

Luocheng, which later emerged, was a market, workshop and newly built residential areas.

At this time, Yangzhou, the largest city in the southeast, had a combined total of more than 300,000 people in the urban area, not counting the population of counties and townships under its jurisdiction.

Li Chaobing took Yangzhou without bloodshed. It can be said that it not only solved the obstacles to progress, but also obtained an adequate supply base for food, grass and military weapons.

It also cracked down on the strongholds that the Supreme Emperor restored the party and tried to establish in the southeast.

Perhaps it was because Li Chao and his friends went into the city so smoothly that the people in the city could not understand the power of the royal army. After Li Chao's order was sent for a long time, only a few people came, and the others were delaying, especially those big clans and merchants in those places.

"Put the rioters locked in the prison and cut them out and show them to the public!" Li Chao was very polite to use the heads of those unlucky guys to kill a few chickens to warn the monkeys.

Sure enough, Li Chao used this move.

Soon, the Governor's Office was already full of people.

All those who were invited came, and no one dared to find any reason to shirk it.

Li Chao coughed, and the hall where the noise was originally noisy was silent.

"Everyone, the rebels have been executed and Yangzhou City has been restored again. This is a very pleasant event. However, I still have to go to Beijing to serve the king and cannot stay here for a long time. Someone must guard the number one important town in the southeast of Yangzhou. Now, I will introduce to you the new Yangzhou Governor Cui Yan, the governor of Yangzhou."

"Cui Yan, come and talk to you a few words."

Cheng Chumo went to Nanzhao to serve as the Nandu Protectorate, Yangzhou, and Li Chao chose his own student and brother-in-law Cui Yan as the main place.

Cui Yan, the Qinghe Cui, who has five surnames and seven sects, was born as a maid. Although he was a maid, he has earned himself a title of founding marquis of the founding country over the years, and has a general who has followed Li Chao for three years.

Li Chao asked him to be the governor of Yangzhou, but no one opposed it.

After some introduction, Li Chao ended the meeting.

"I chose you to stay in Yangzhou. Do you have the confidence to manage Yangzhou well?" Li Chao asked Cui Yan.

Cui Yan is actually more willing to go to Beijing with Li Chao to serve the king.
