Wu Zhao also noticed something was wrong with Gao Yang's eyes, and she was a little embarrassed.

This scientific method is really profound and unfathomable.

But how can a generation of emperors easily admit that they don’t understand?

She coughed twice and changed the subject, "I leave all this to you. You can take care of it yourself. Even I obey your orders."

"But what I'm curious about is, why did you still run when you were 90% sure? Why did you choose to come back in the end?"

"You proposed to cut off the Canglan River and the Brahmaputra River to cut off the water between Chu and Yan. Once the Chu army enters the city, you should know your end."

When Gao Yang saw this, he said with a helpless look, "Your Majesty, I'm just blowing a rumor. You don't really believe it, do you?"

"Ninety percent of it is just to stabilize the people's hearts. After all, your Majesty also knows a little about my reputation. I still have a certain reputation in the court and among the people."

"In this battle, if you want to defend Chang'an City, let's fight 50-50."

Wu Zhao didn't have many surprises, and she had guessed it, but she still held a huge possibility in her heart.

If there was a 90% chance, Gao Yang wouldn't be preparing to run away early in the morning.

"As for why I stayed, it's because of Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty still wants to fight to the death, why should I withdraw first?"

Gao Yang looked upright and solemn.

The corners of Wu Zhao's mouth twitched. She believed the first half of the sentence 50-50, but she didn't believe a word of the second half.

The word loyal minister is really too far away for Gao Yang.

But Wu Zhao suddenly said solemnly, "No matter who you stay for or why, I assume that you stay for me."

"I will remember this love for a lifetime, and the people of Chang'an will also remember it for a lifetime."

"I will do as you say, stabilize Chang'an City and buy you time, but I will leave the country and the millions of people in Chang'an City in your hands."

"This time, you are the chosen one and the only one!"

Wu Zhao slowly bent towards Gao Yang and bowed to Gao Yang like an emperor.

There was a hint of sincerity in her tone.

Gao Yang glanced at Wu Zhao without leaving any trace, then stepped forward to help Wu Zhao up.

"This is your duty as a minister, why should your Majesty do this?!"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Gao Yang, her lips moved, but she didn't speak in the end.

After Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er left, Gao Yang said to himself.

"Anyway, after leaking so many trump cards, it's not a loss to get a favor from the empress."

At this time, Qin Zhenguo also came to Gao Yang. He saluted and said, "Master Gao, we raided all the wineries in Chang'an City and killed thirteen people."

"Ten thousand jars of wine have arrived outside the imperial city."

Gao Yang calmed down and said with twinkling eyes, "Everyone move in."

"Bring in dozens more cauldrons and start the fire!"

As soon as Gao Yang's military order came out, Qin Zhenguo immediately ordered the imperial guards in the palace to move all the wine jars in.

Soon, a strong aroma of wine filled the entire palace.

The wine is heated to high temperatures and turns into steam. After cooling, it turns into high-concentration wine after passing through a huge conduit made of bamboo tubes.

The principle of distillation is not difficult. The main problem is that time is tight and there is no glass tube, so it can only be replaced by a simple bamboo tube.

This thing doesn't even take any effort, because the bamboo tube-type mercury refining device used by Da Gan and the alchemists to make elixirs is a still.

It's just that the disadvantages of bamboo tubes are not small, they are not heat-resistant and easy to damage, and the distilled wine may also have some problems.

But these are minor flaws, because Gao Yang wants a high concentration of alcohol.

This is not for drinking.

Qin Zhenguo is an old gourmet, and when he smelled the rich aroma of wine, he couldn't help but take a few deep sips.

"This wine smells so good, it looks like strong alcohol. Do you want to drink it to make people more courageous? Use strong alcohol to stimulate the bloodiness of the soldiers on the front line?"

Qin Zhenguo looked curious.

Hearing this, Gao Yang just smiled and said, "Grandpa Qin, this is wrong. This batch of wine is not for drinking, but for the Chu army."

"use?"

Qin Zhenguo caught this word keenly.

"Yeah, treat them to a barbecue."

A smile broke out on Gao Yang's face, but this smile made Qin Zhenguo shudder.

"..."

One night passed quietly.

On Chang'an City, flags cover the sky.

But Lu Zhen took a look and still felt that it was not spectacular enough, mainly because there were few people. Once he got closer, the flag would be revealed.

This is not enough to scare the Chu army!

So, Lu Zhen rode a tall horse and found Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao waved his hand and followed Gao Yang's steps, and began to post notices everywhere in the city.

Recruitment order!

The emperor was sent to heaven to summon him and said:

"Now the King of Wu has rebelled. Hundreds of thousands of troops from Chu are pointing their swords at Chang'an. Chang'an is in danger!"

"However, the inheritance of our ancestors cannot be lost, and I cannot bear to abandon the people of Chang'an. I am determined to use the body of the emperor to personally control the nine gates of Chang'an. The emperor will guard the gates of the country, and the king will die in the country!"

"My Daqian men are very hot-blooded. I hope that my Daqian hot-blooded men will join the army enthusiastically and use our blood to forge the soul of my Daqian army and protect Chang'an together!"

Almost at the same time, this recruitment order was posted all over the streets of Chang'an.

The news spread throughout Chang'an City at a flying speed.

If yesterday's rumors were intended to block the people's retreat, then this conscription order will test the patriotism of the people.

Lu Zhen and Qin Zhenguo stood on Zhuque Street riding tall horses.

Even they took a deep breath.

Wu Zhao did not fail the people, and Gao Yang did not fail the people either.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stayed up all night just to maintain the operation of Chang'an City.

Now, when the road back is blocked, it depends on the people's choice.

Wu Zhao stood on the second floor of a restaurant, looking at the empty Zhuque Street.

She clenched her fists and suppressed the tension in her heart.

To this day, Wu Zhao will never forget the words her father left for her when he was dying.

The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!

If the people's support is there, the country will be there. If the people's support is not there, it will be the time for the country to perish.

She has always kept this sentence in mind and dare not forget a word.

If despite this method, the people are still unwilling to stand up, then Dagan... really should perish.

She looked at the major streets in Chang'an, but they were still dead silent.

It was as if they were shrouded in fear that the Chu army would arrive and massacre the city. They wanted to be the lambs to be slaughtered and try their best to hope that the Chu army would not massacre the city.

Wu Zhao's eyes were a little disappointed.

"That's all..."

Wu Zhao just turned around and was about to leave.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes also dimmed.

But the next second.

boom!

A huge noise, boiling sound, mixed with curses, went straight into the sky!
