Now, Yang Qing has developed the habit of staying in the hut next to the study in the middle courtyard for several hours every day. （ . Except for the merchant Han Zhang Nan, no one knew why the second prince had stayed in that hut for so long. The subordinates of the Yang Mansion are not so gossipy, and the masters never dare to inquire more about their affairs. Besides, the old man had spoken, and no one was to disturb the gentleman who lived in the hut.

The hut is really small, after Yang Qing pushed the door in, everything was clear at a glance, and they were placed in their respective positions in an orderly manner.

Including, the one who seems to sit at the table forever.

Gao Pu, who used to be Yang Shi'an, who is now given the surname Yang, sat there quietly, watching Yang Qing, who was dressed in sunshine, slowly walk in.

"Brother Shi'an, didn't you go out for a walk today?"

At Yang Qing's suggestion, Gao Pu accepted the new homonym "Shi'an". In Yang Qing's words, killing An Lushan is also to ensure the safety of the people and the Tang Dynasty.

"Am I scary to go out like this?" Hoarse voice, flat tone.

Yang Qing's eyes lit up when he heard it, and Gao Pu actually made a joke! Has his mood finally calmed down now?

"Actually...... Sir, if you would like to go out and walk around...... At first, some people may be frightened, maybe no one dares to approach Mr. or dare to talk to you, but as long as you are familiar with him, after a period of time, I believe that everyone will treat Mr. as an ordinary person. What do you say? Yang Qing was blunt, because he knew that Gao Pu would not care if he pointed out that his appearance was terrifying.

Sure enough, Gopp was visibly hesitant.

"Besides, the gentleman is stuffy in the house all day, and as the days go by, the suspicious will only become more and more suspicious."

“…… Okay, I'll listen to Childe. ”

Yang Qing was very happy and took the opportunity to say: "Walk around the house first, and when people are familiar with you, you can try to go out a few times." Don't forget, you're a florist in my house now, and although you have a special status, you must at least be able to know the real skills of flowers and plants, right? If you don't go out for a long time to buy flowers, fertilizers, seeds, or something, wouldn't you be derelict in your duties? ”

Gao Pu pursed his lips with a strange expression and did not say anything.

Yang Qing smiled knowingly and opened the topic.

"What to say today? Is it still a matter of Xiongwu City? ”

Gao Pu shook his head: "The details of Xiongwu City, Gongzi now knows almost everything. Today, Shi'an wants to talk to Gongzi about An Lushan's character and life. ”

Yang Qingqi said: "Conduct yourself in the world? ”

"Yes. An Lushan can have today, although it is indispensable to coincidence, but he can do the two towns and festivals, hold hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and worship the king of Tang County with Hu people, but it is by no means only flattery and sycophancy can be exchanged. This person has real skills! There are many outstanding things that are difficult for ordinary people to reach! ”

Yang Qing noticed that today's Gao Pu, when he mentioned An Lushan's name again, had hidden the hatred that hurt into the bone marrow, and it was so plain that he seemed to be talking about an unknown passerby. Perhaps, the pain hidden in the deepest part of the heart is not so easy to be seen.

"Sir, I was just about to tell you that now An Lushan's strength has further increased. A few days ago, the Holy Lord had issued an edict, Han Xiumin was transferred to General Zuo Yulin, and An Lushan was also the envoy of the Hedong Festival! ”

Gao Pu was silent for a long time, and said bitterly: "In this way, the number of troops in An Lushan's hands has actually exceeded 300,000, accounting for almost half of the total military strength of my Tang Dynasty!" ”

Yang Qing stared at Gao Pu: "According to Mr. 's opinion, if An Lushan raises troops now, how many sergeants under his command will follow him?" ”

"Gongzi wants to take advantage of An Lushan's new leadership of Hedong and his unfamiliarity with personnel to provoke him to rebel immediately?" Gao Pu keenly captured Yang Qing's boldness, "Childe is scheming, ordinary people can't think about it!" Shi'an admires! It is indeed a clever plan, if it is ignored, in another three or two years, when An Lushan completely controls the Hedong Army, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to resist this thief! No matter how you say it now, there are still Wang Zhonghe, Ge Shuhan and others to restrain him......"

Yang Qing was about to answer, but Gao Pu had already shook his head: "But after all, it's too risky, it's not appropriate!" ”

"What do you mean by ......?" Yang Qing was very puzzled, and then denied it after praising it, what does it mean?

"This brings us back to the previous topic, it depends on An Lushan's character and habits of dealing with the world." Goep stood up and paced back and forth in the small room. "An Lushan has been favored by the emperor for a long time, and if he says that he has no respect for the saint, it is not true. Moreover, there is another person in the court, An Lushan is deeply afraid, with him, the thief will not act rashly. ”

"Li Linfu?"

"That's right! Exactly the right phase! Li Linfu has been in charge of the government for many years, although he is harsh and narrow-minded, rigid and self-serving, but he has never lacked scheming means, An Lushan has confided in Fanyang more than once, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can not be taken into account, but Li Linfu, An Lushan is not able to understand his thoughts, and is afraid of his means. It's a pity that Yang Guozhong has been staring at the right side recently, and Li Linfu has long had no time to control the border towns. ”

"This is the situation in the court, at present, for An Lushan, regardless of whether he is really anti-at the moment, the current situation is not the best time - if he raises troops, Chang'an will definitely unite the monarchs and ministers to deal with him, and Li Linfu may not fall."

"Speaking of military strength, we can see it now, can't An Lushan see it clearly? If he rebels now, at most he can fight with the imperial court, and it would be good to form a confrontation, but his territory is sandwiched between Beihu and Datang, how can the Beihu alien clan give up such a good opportunity? must wave his army to the south, and when he An Lushan is fighting or peace? Or do you just team up with Beihu to carve up my Tang Dynasty? No matter how you choose, it's not the best. war, Datang oppressed step by step behind the back; and, just lingering, it is difficult to escape the end of destruction; Collusion with Beihu to go south seems feasible, but it will inevitably lead to the fiercest resistance of our Datang, and in the end, Beihu is cheaper. ”

"So An Lushan can only hope that today's situation will continue until he has the strength to conquer the entire Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop! In recent years, he has repeatedly used tricks to deceive the envoys of neighboring Jiedu to lead troops to help in the war, taking the opportunity to seize his elite soldiers, and constantly asking the court for more official powers, all with their eyes on this! At that time, it is difficult to say whether An Lushan must achieve the goal of seeking the country through such military means as raising troops and raising incidents! ”

"If we provoke him to rebel now, even if we can do it, then most of the end will be that Hebei Province will break away from the Tang Dynasty and become a country of its own, a country under the rule of An Lushan!"

Yang Qing was terrified when he heard it, although he knew the trend of history, but he had never thought deeply about An Lushan's strategy, although he knew that An Lushan himself commanded the war very well, but he didn't know that An Lushan's strategic vision was also so long-term!

Yang Qing frowned deeply: "In the opinion of Mr., how to deal with An Lushan?" ”

Gao Pu took a deep breath: "Arrange it early and draw it slowly; Know yourself and know your opponent, be prepared! ”
