At the mention of An Lushan, Gao Lishi's eyelids jumped a few times.

In the past year, Li Longji has become more and more suspicious of An Lushan, especially last year, he sent Zhongguan Fu Baolin to secretly visit the three towns of Fanyang, and Fu Baolin reported that the soldiers and horses in the three towns were normal, and there was no anomaly in the reserves of grain, grass, weapons and horses, and he also implicitly said a lot of good things for An Lushan.

Li Longji's suspicion this time was finally used in the right place, he was not only suspicious of An Lushan, but also suspicious of Fu Zhaolin.

After Fu Baolin returned to Chang'an, Li Longji secretly instructed Gao Lishi to take him to prison, and after being tortured, Fu Baolin finally admitted that An Lushan had paid him a huge bribe, so he said good things about An Lushan in the newspaper.

Fu Zhuolin's fate is not to be said, and she was ordered by Gao Lishi to be killed in prison with a cane, almost beaten into a pile of minced meat.

After Li Longji got Fu Baolin's confession, he was both angry and uneasy.

Logically speaking, since Fu Baolin accepted a bribe and said good things for An Lushan, then the so-called "no sign of rebellion" is a lie, and the opposite of the lie is the truth.

With such thoughts, Li Longji became more and more suspicious, An Lushan's authority was too heavy, and he was already a behemoth, Li Longji did not dare to speak lightly about cutting power, for fear of stimulating An Lushan, and he did not want to plant such an unscheduled bomb for his country.

Swaying from side to side, helpless.

This is probably Li Longji's mood now, so Li Longji has actually had a very unsatisfactory life this year, An Lushan has become a thorn in his heart, and his favor to An Lushan in the past has now turned into a slap of remorse, slapping his face one after another.

At this moment today, Yang Guozhong talked about An Lushan again, and Gao Lishi couldn't help but secretly hang his heart.

"Yang Xiang, the slave suggests that you should not talk to Your Majesty about this matter......" Gao Lishi said earnestly.

Yang Guozhong was stunned: "Why?" ”

Gao Lishi sighed: "Your Majesty has been worried about An Lushan for many days, and finally went out of the palace to patrol the fortunate, and just got a few days of leisure when I came to Huaqing Palace, why don't you let Your Majesty relax for a little more time, the slave maid sees the changes of Your Majesty this year, and is much older than in previous years?" The temperament is also becoming more and more ...... Hey, in short, how much does Yang Xiang bear? An Lushan's recital is temporarily suppressed first? Later, when Your Majesty is in a better mood, let's play again. ”

Yang Guozhong seems to have realized? There was a sudden look of excitement in his eyes: "Your Majesty is also worried about An Lushan's rebellion?" ”

Gao Lishi was taken aback, and his face suddenly became ugly, this guy? Already right-phased? Why is the speech so unobtrusive? If you don't dare to talk nonsense in the palace without evidence, if it weren't for the fact that you are the eldest brother, just rely on your mouth? It's already dead.

Silenced your voice? Gao Lishi arched his hand with a panicked face: "Yang Xiang? Yang Xiang! Don't talk nonsense? Is it a disaster to be heard? If you don't have a reason, you might as well say a few words. ”

Yang Guozhong didn't care about it: "Sooner or later, the lid will be lifted?" I can't hide it, General Gao, to be honest, I also suspect that An Lushan has a heart of disobedience, and I haven't told Your Majesty that after receiving his recital yesterday? More and more sure that An Lushan has bad intentions? General Gao, think about it? The soldiers and horses of the three towns have not expanded their army? Why did the amount of grain, grass and weapons from the imperial court this year triple that of previous years? It's clear that you want to hoard grain, grass and weapons, why do you want to hoard these things? Does it still need to be explained? ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Then you don't have to say it explicitly, Yang Xiang said carefully?" Don't say it again, Your Majesty is not in a good mood, and I can't hear bad news recently, so I ask Yang Xiang to consider one or two. ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes still flashed with excitement.

An Lushan is his mortal enemy, if today's son suspects An Lushan, it is good news for him, what he has to do is to fall into the well.

It doesn't matter if An Lushan is against it or not, even if it is the opposite, can he still enter Chang'an City?

But it is very important that An Lushan is not favored, if he is not favored, Yang Guozhong's heart will be balanced.

That's right, this is Yang Guozhong, a short-sighted idiot.

"General Gao, rest assured, I will definitely suppress An Lushan's performance, and there is no need to ask Your Majesty, I will directly refute it, dare to make such an excessive request to the imperial court, his heart can be punished."

Yang Guozhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, I won't make Your Majesty uncomfortable, and when I go back, I will convene the courtiers of the three provinces to discuss the matter, isn't Your Majesty worried that An Lushan's authority is too heavy?" When I go back, I will discuss with the courtiers about reducing An Lushan's military power, first take back the military power of Hedong Jiedu, and send another courtier to take over......"

Gao Lishi was anxious: "Yang Xiang can't act rashly, if An Lushan receives the rumors......"

"It's okay, let's discuss it first, and then report it to Your Majesty when the discussion has a result, if you can come up with a safe method, you can solve Your Majesty's worries for many days, and this is the duty of the minister."

After speaking, Yang Guozhong turned around and left.

Gao Lishi stood under the porch, stomped his feet helplessly, and then turned around and walked to the door of the begonia soup, hearing the laughter of Li Longji and Yang Guifei inside, Gao Lishi shook his head bitterly.

I can't tell the reason, Gao Lishi always feels that his heart is heavy and weighs on a boulder.

Prosperity is bound to decline, and the Tang Dynasty has always had a feeling of crisis, but ...... If it is said that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty will end at the hands of a Hu person, it is unbelievable.

An Lushan ...... Will it be the other way around?

Gao Lishi had the same questions in his heart as Li Longji.

…………

The school field outside the city of Qiuzi.

The 10,000 unity soldiers stood loosely on the school ground, the queue was messy, the personnel were mixed, the generals stood in front of the team for a long time, and the unity soldiers were still giggling, ignoring the iron faces of the generals.

The drums rumbled, Gu Qing walked to the high platform on the east side of the school yard in a draped dress, and the generals clasped their fists and saluted.

Today's Gu Qing is wearing a brand-new black armor, the armor fits very well, it seems to be tailor-made, and the heart guard on his chest is made of iron, and the sword and arrow are difficult to break.

Standing on the high platform, Gu Qing ignored the loose unity soldiers in the audience, still looking at his armor.

"This armor was really picked up by Princess Wanchun in the palace?" Gu Qing asked suspiciously, and wiped the heart shield on his chest with care.

Han Jie next to him said, "That's what the messenger who sent the armor said. ”

Gu Qing hesitated: "The prosperity of our Tang Dynasty has actually reached such a point, and the palace can actually pick up armor anywhere?" ”

Han Jie sighed and said, "Master Hou, you can think so. ”

Gu Qing also sighed: "This is very unfair, why have I never picked up money after wandering around Qiuzi City for so long?" Is it because I'm not as white as Princess Wanchun? ”

"What does this have to do with nothing?"

"It doesn't matter, but you have to say something good about her to explain why she was so lucky that she was able to pick up the armor......"

Han Jie was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "Why does Lord Hou know that Princess Wanchun is very white?" ”

"That's an overstep, shut up." Gu Qing looked up at the school field, and saw that the 10,000 unity soldiers on the school field were black and oppressive, but the military appearance was a mess, Gu Qing couldn't help frowning, and raised his voice: "Where is Liu Hongbo?" ”

Liu Hongbo, who was also wearing armor, stood up, hugged his fists and said, "The last general." ”

Gu Qing pointed to the unity soldiers under the stage and said, "If you ask you to recruit unity soldiers, you have recruited these goods?" Don't say that the army is looking, look at whether they stand or not, they don't even look like people, how did you recruit soldiers? ”

Liu Hongbo said with a bitter face: "Master Hou, I really can't blame the general, Lord Hou asked the general to recruit 10,000 people as soon as possible, and the general tried his best to collect the young people from the nearby townships and counties several times, and even recruited some herdsmen from the Hui Department and the Tiele Department, which only made up enough 10,000 people, and the other generals really couldn't take care of it." ”

Gu Qing sighed and said, "That's it, I don't blame you, it's my military order that is too urgent." Since it doesn't look like a look, let's practice day and night, and after a year and a half, you should be able to practice a look. ”

Liu Hongbo smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not easy to practice, these guys have no military discipline, and they are bold, and they have clashed privately with the officers and soldiers of my Anxi Army in the big camp a few times, and no one can control them." ”

Gu Qing nodded, he knew that these 10,000 people were actually strictly speaking a militia, and they were not even as good as the militia, so it was said that they should not recruit these 10,000 united soldiers, and the trade-off would do more harm than good, not only wasting food, but also making it more difficult to manage.

But seeing that the Anxi army was about to have a strong enemy, Gu Qing could only strengthen his strength by unscrupulous means, no matter what kind of troops, as long as he could use it for himself, he had to accept it.

As a result, Gu Qing's expression gradually became indifferent.

"From today onwards, the united soldiers will practice during the day and recite military law at night, and those who fail will be punished, and you will formulate specific terms of punishment, the more severe the better."

Liu Hongbo said: "Master Hou, there are many unruly people in these united soldiers, I am afraid that even military law is difficult to control, especially those herdsmen, forcing him to dare to fight with the generals, so he can't help it." ”

Gu Qing sneered: "After entering my camp, it is still his turn to be arrogant?" Pick a few of the most arrogant candidates, behead them in public, and hang their heads on the flagpole to show the public, which can be regarded as an example of killing, I don't believe that they are really not afraid of death. ”

Liu Hongbo was stunned, Hou Ye was so murderous, and the training was so violent.

There is another question Liu Hongbo has always been unable to figure out, why Hou Ye is in a hurry to recruit unity soldiers, and one move is 10,000 people, it is said that the Anxi army now has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and it is enough to resist Tubo, and these 10,000 unity soldiers are like chicken ribs, and it is useless to ask for them.

"General Liu, within three months, I want to see that these united soldiers have the same spirit as the officers and men of the Anxi Army, as for the combat strength, they can be trained slowly, but the military appearance and discipline must not be inferior to the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army, can it be done?"

Liu Hongbo hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "It can be done." ”

Gu Qing nodded: "If you can't do it, don't blame the military law for being ruthless." ”

"Yes! The end will definitely do it! Liu Hongbo's expression was open, and his eyes added a bit of murderous aura.

Gu Qing turned around and left, and then he had to go to see the blacksmith Juan from the Great Food Country, the kind of iron pipe he wanted was also very important, and it was related to how much power he could have in the upcoming troubled times.

Seeing Gu Qing leaving, the knife in Liu Hongbo's hand had been replaced with a black long whip, and seeing that the unity soldiers on the school field were still giggling, Liu Hongbo was angry from his heart, and threw a long whip at the nearest unity soldier.

There was a crisp snap, and the long whip left a red whip mark on the unity soldier's face.

"Give me a drill right now! Tell you bastards, just now the Hou Ye gave General Ben authorization, this month I want to kill ten people, with the military discipline of the Zheng'an West Army, ten people, who doesn't want to live, can try to challenge the military discipline! ”

After speaking, Liu Hongbo laughed strangely, his smile was very perverted and creepy.
