Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

The sun rose from the east as usual, and a new day began. There was a fierce battle last night and explosions rang out in the middle of the night. The people of Valley City had not slept all night and got up early.

Yuan Ce had met Lu Dongyuan last night. This morning, he went out and walked directly to Xingzheng Street. He soon arrived at Gao's residence. Gao Hua, the doorman of Gao's residence, saw Yuan Ce and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Please come in, Sir Yuan. My master is in the study."

Yuan Ce nodded and walked directly into Gao's house. During this period, Yuan Ce would come to Gao's house every day to drink tea and chat with Gao Yanqing. The people in Gao's house also knew Yuan Ce and knew that he was the master's student. Yuan Ce came to the study room of Gao's house very smoothly and knocked on the door. "Knock knock knock!"

"Please come in!"

Gao Yanqing's voice came, and Yuan Ce walked in directly. Gao Yanqing looked up and said, "Xiao Yuan, why are you here so early today?"

Yuan Ce quickly cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, Yan Jun's bomb exploded all night last night, and I couldn't sleep, so I came to your house early to talk to you."

Gao Yanqing smiled and asked, "Xiao Yuan, are you going to discuss political affairs with me today?"

Yuan Ce waved his hand and sat down directly opposite Gao Yanqing. "Teacher, I am not interested in the political affairs in the court. I just want to discuss current affairs with you and clear my doubts."

Gao Yanqing reached out and touched his beard. "Xiao Yuan, current affairs are inseparable from politics. Current affairs are political affairs. Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Yuan Ce smiled and said, "In the battle last night, the 100,000 Tiger Guards were completely wiped out, and more than half of the 100,000 provincial troops were also killed. I wonder what your plan is next? Are you going to sit and wait for death? Or are you going to find another way out?"

As soon as Yuan Ce said this, Gao Yanqing stood up from his chair and looked at Yuan Ce with a puzzled look on his face. "Xiao Yuan, what you just said are all court secrets. How did you know?"

"Teacher, have you forgotten? I have been an envoy to Yan State for three full years. It shouldn't be difficult for me to know these things, right?"

Gao Yanqing's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yuan Ce who was sitting opposite him thoughtfully, "Xiao Yuan, I understand. Tell me, who are you representing to talk to me today?"

Yuan Ce smiled and said, "Teacher's sense is still so sharp. To be honest, the student represents His Royal Highness King Yanguoxian."

"Impossible, how could a mere sixth-rank envoy like you have any connection with Lin Feng?"

"Teacher, you are right. Logically speaking, I am not qualified to associate with His Royal Highness the King, but how can I have a teacher like you who is the Minister of the Central Secretariat?"

Gao Yanqing shook his head with a wry smile, "I see! Tell me, what does Lin Feng mean?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Virtue said that the Yan army will attack the city at 3:30 pm today. If the teacher can take the initiative to open the city and surrender, His Royal Highness the King of Virtue will not only pardon the teacher and the Gao family's crimes, but also allow the teacher to continue to serve as an official in Dayan."

"And His Royal Highness the King of Virtue promised that all the Vietnamese soldiers who surrendered outside the city could retain their original military positions and continue to serve Dayan."

"What if the Master doesn't surrender?"

"His Royal Highness the Wise King said that you should think about the consequences of not surrendering yourself."

"What else did Lin Feng say?"

Yuan Ce shook his head. "No, there are still two and a half hours until noon. Teacher, please take care of yourself. I still have to go to the embassy for duty, so I'll take my leave now."

Yuan Ce immediately stood up, bowed, and turned to leave Gao's study...

Gao Yanqing closed his eyes and began to think, and the whole study room was silent...

Once the 100,000 Tiger Guards died, the Yue State was doomed and its destruction was inevitable.

In Gao Yanqing's heart, the interests of the Gao family are above everything else. If Gao Yanqing wants to preserve the Gao family, leaving the city and surrendering is his only choice.

Thinking of the death of his nephew Gao Jialin, Gao Yanqing immediately opened his eyes, stood up from his chair, and shouted, "Someone come!"

Gao Quan, the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion, who had been guarding the door of the study, walked into the study quickly and bowed respectfully, "Please give your orders, Master!"

"Prepare the car now!"

"Yes, master!"

After a while, a carriage slowly drove out of the main gate of Gao Mansion, escorted by a large group of Gao Mansion guards, and headed directly to Tianshan Street where the west city gate was located...

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the west gate. As Gao Yanqing got off the carriage, he saw Cao Chun, the chief steward of the imperial palace, directing the soldiers to block the city gate with mud, so he walked over immediately.

"Manager Cao, what are you doing?"

Cao Chun looked up and hurried forward to bow, "Mr. Zhongshu Ling, why are you here?"

Gao Yanqing smiled and said, "General Manager Cao, everyone has the responsibility to defend Hegu City. As the Minister of the Central Secretariat, I have received great favor from the Emperor, so I naturally have to do my part. These 300 Gao Mansion guards are here to assist General Li in defending the city."

Cao Chun quickly cupped his hands and said, "The Minister of the Central Secretariat is very kind and righteous. I will report the truth to His Majesty after I return to the palace."

Gao Yanqing quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Manager Cao."

Cao Chun waved his hand and said, "You are welcome, Lord Zhongshu Ling. This is what we should do. Oh, and by the way, it is His Majesty's order to block the city gate with mud, and we are also following his order."

Gao Yanqing nodded, "I see! I didn't sleep last night, and I had some ideas about defending the city. I wanted to talk to General Li this morning. I wonder if General Cao is willing to come with me?"

Cao Chun nodded and said, "The Minister of the Central Secretariat has invited me so kindly that I cannot refuse. General Li is currently observing the enemy from the tower. Sir Gao, please come in."

"Manager Cao, please!"

After the two men showed courtesy to each other, they walked up to the city wall together. Gaozhou General Li Yan immediately stepped forward and bowed, "General Li Yan greets the Minister of the Central Secretariat! And greets General Cao!"

Gao Yanqing nodded and said, "General Li, how about we go to the tower and talk together?"

Li Yan immediately pointed to the gate of the tower behind him and said, "Central Secretary Cao, please come in."

Gao Yanqing looked back at the butler Gao Quan, who nodded and then walked into the city wall with two Gao family guards.

"squeak……"

After everyone went in, two Gao family guards immediately closed the gate of the city tower.

Cao Chun's face changed, "Minister of the Central Secretariat, why did you ask people to close the door?"

Gao Quan immediately drew out the dagger in his hand and stabbed it into Cao Chun's body with lightning speed.

"Gao Yanqing, you are going to...rebel...."

Cao Chun pointed at Gao Yanqing and fell to the ground with an unwilling look on his face.

Li Yan immediately asked, "Master, what are you doing..."

Gao Yanqing smiled and said, "Eunuch Cao is right. This family master wants to rebel."

Li Yan quickly cupped his hands, "Li Yan swears to follow the master until death."

Gao Yanqing nodded and said, "Li Yan, find a way to call General Liu Qian of Dezhou, General Zhou Yi of Chengzhou, and General Hu Yan of Yangzhou here. This family master has something to say to them. Go!"

"Yes, master!"

Li Yan clasped his hands together, bowed, and turned to leave the tower...
