The emperor was very angry, but he was not very happy.

Inside the huge Jinluan Palace.

The civil officials were cursing in their hearts.

But Gao Yang stood on the moral high ground, and they couldn't say a word.

Cui Xinghe stared at Gao Yang as if he had seen a ghost, and he felt lonely.

Set up a heart for heaven and earth, set up a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and open peace for all generations.

This living king of hell is not only a hundred times more capable than him, but also has stronger ambitions than him.

This is the words of a saint!

Once it is spread, the words of a saint will be pursued by all the literati in the world!

But these words actually came from Gao Yang's mouth!

The living King of Hell who would kill people at will and throw catapults at plague corpses, actually wanted to establish his life for the people and bring peace to the world?

Xu Xuanji took a deep breath and felt that he had seen a ghost today.

Damn it, this living King of Hell actually changed his nature!

This sentence of establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past sages, and bringing peace to the world came out.

Killed them instantly!

He took a deep breath and said, "I admire Gao Yuanwailang's ambition, but the key to the problem now is that Chang'an is empty inside. It will take at least half a month, or even a month for the reinforcements from all directions. Once the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops arrive, how can we defend the city?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Gao Yang, even including Song Li, Cui Xinghe, Lu Wen and others.

Different political views are different political views, but everyone knows that under this situation, if you want to defend Chang'an City, the entire Daqian Chang'an, only one person can do it!

That is Gao Yang!

Gao Yang met the gazes of all the officials, he looked at Wu Zhao and spoke directly.

"I have some vicious tricks, enough to give the Chu army a hard time, or even... defeat the Chu army of 100,000!"

"But please, Your Majesty, grant me the power of life and death, and temporarily take over Chang'an!"

When Gao Yang said that he had some vicious tricks, the hearts of all the civil and military officials in the court were much more at ease.

Wu Zhao's empty heart suddenly settled down.

When Lu Zhen thought of the military tactics Gao Yang mentioned, his eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, Gao Yuanwailang has also made great achievements in military tactics."

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary strategies should be used, please grant your majesty's approval!"

Qin Zhenguo and Zhao Po Nu also stood up to support.

"I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!"

Even Cui Xinghe hesitated for a moment and said, "I also think that Gao Yuanwailang can give it a try."

This surprised Gao Yang a little.

But Cui Xinghe only glanced at Gao Yang and turned his eyes away.

A minister of a fallen country has no dignity, let alone revenge, so he naturally doesn't want to lose.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang, almost without hesitation.

"From this moment on, Gao Yang, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue, will be given the title of Minister of War and unified command of the defense of Chang'an!"

"I will also grant you the imperial sword to kill the royal family and the treacherous!"

"Wherever the military order goes, the six ministries of the court, the civil and military officials, including me, will obey it as a whole!"

"Those who violate the order will be killed!"

After these words fell, all the officials were shocked.

He was given the title of Minister of War and the imperial sword that gave him the power of life and death.

Gao Yang can be said to have ascended to heaven in one step!

Even the original Minister of War Yan Hao's face changed, but he didn't say anything after all.

All the officials were silent for a while, and even Yan Zheng didn't object.

Wu Zhao's determination and Gao Yang's words determined that this battle must be fought!

If they want to fight, Gao Yang will be the only one who can turn the tide.

They are also curious about Gao Yang's methods.

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao and smiled.

This empress is really courageous!

If she doesn't give up power, he will have to run away even if he digs a tunnel.

But now, he can still operate.

Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, "Gao Yang, now all the civil and military officials in the court are at your disposal."

"You can start."

Wu Zhao's eyes were full of expectation.

This time she took a gamble and almost put all her hopes on Gao Yang.

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao, then at all the civil and military officials in the court, and he took a deep breath and said.

"King Wu and Xue Yi rebelled, and the Chu army rushed towards Chang'an at lightning speed."

"Their goal is to catch Chang'an off guard, thinking that Chang'an is empty and can be captured in one fell swoop."

"But they can never be 100% sure of this."

"Hearing is false, seeing is true, but eyes can be deceiving."

"When two armies face off, morale is king. If there are few soldiers on the top of Chang'an, the morale of the Chu army will be high. On the contrary, if Chang'an is full of flags and people are crowded, the morale of the Chu army will be greatly reduced."

"So this first strategy is to combine the real and the fake to increase momentum,

Use various means to create the illusion that Chang'an has many soldiers and generals, and it is not empty!"

A word fell.

Wu Zhao's eyes lit up.

Gao Tianlong and Lu Zhen's eyes lit up even more.

"When two armies fight, morale will be strong at first, then weak, and finally exhausted!"

"This plan is good."

Lv Zhen's eyes were full of surprise, but he frowned quickly and said, "But Chang'an has only 30,000 armored soldiers. A good cook cannot cook without rice. How can this create the illusion of crowds?"

Gao Yang replied confidently, "This involves the second plan, which is also the core of this defense of the city, the people of Chang'an!"

Wu Zhao was a little stunned, "People?"

"Although Chang'an has few soldiers, only more than 30,000 people, there are tens of millions of people in Chang'an!"

"Defending the city does not mean that the army will rush in directly, and the people can also exert great power. "

"In the next few days, you can spread rumors in the city, claiming that the Chu army is not far from Chang'an City, and you will die if you leave the city! The commander of the Chu army is a butcher in the world. He will slaughter the whole city if he breaks into the city. Under the butcher's knife, heads are rolling."

"Rumors can spread easily. Only by blocking the retreat of the people and burning their boats can we inspire the people's will to fight!"

"At that time, you can tempt them with silver for killing the enemy, and even your majesty will personally come out to call for the slogan of defending Chang'an together and defending our common homeland. When the people see that there is no way to retreat, they will surely be inspired to be patriotic and transform into a force to defend the city!"

"As long as we can hold on, the Chu army is alone and deep in the city. The longer it drags on, the more advantageous it will be for us! "

Everyone's eyes were shining. These options are very feasible and can strengthen the defense of the city!

Gao Yang played with people's hearts and calculated everything. If people have a way out, they will not fight desperately.

But if there is no way out, it will be different.

Gao Yang continued, "But this alone is not enough."

"With a huge disparity in military strength, if you want to win this battle, you still need some external forces!"

"The blacksmiths and craftsmen in the entire Chang'an City are all treasures. In addition, the fine wine and brown sugar in Chang'an City will be requisitioned."

"Even the feces in the major toilets are of great use."

"This time, I will use all means to let the Chu army know what real cruelty is. Please trust me once and overcome this difficulty together!"

Gao Yang swept his eyes over the officials and showed a hideous smile on his face.

This smile frightened the officials.

Since there is no way to retreat, then don't retreat, just turn the table over!
