Shang Han and Zhang Nan helped Gao Pu back to the bed and quietly listened to him explain the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

"Thank you. In Xia Gaopu, the word is like the first, and the people of Cangzhou, Hebei Province ......"

It turned out that Gao Pu was a noble brother of An Lushan's confidant, and he was also familiar with the art of war and read a lot of books since he was a child, but unfortunately he failed to take the exam several times in a row and couldn't pass the Ming Jing. Gao Shang knew the ability of this clan brother very well, so he revised a letter two years ago to persuade Gao Pu to Fanyang and became a staff member under An Lushan. As his talents were revealed step by step, An Lushan's trust in Gao Pu gradually increased, and half a year ago, Gao Pu finally became the governor of the Central Governor's History, specializing in the management of soldiers, weapons, grain and grass registration and other management in Xiongwu City. It was this appointment that finally gave Gao Pu insight into An Lushan's heart.

Xiongwu City is an important military town that An Lushan has been operating painstakingly in the north of Fanyang City for several years. Nominally, this is to resist the invasion of the Khitan, Xi and other Hu tribes in the north, and prevent the Hu people from directly attacking the Acropolis of Fanyang, but in fact, as a city in a purely military sense, there is no city of ordinary people, except for An Lushan's henchmen, generals and strategists, no one knows how many soldiers, grain and grass and rare treasures are hidden in Xiongwu City.

Since An Lushan grasped the military and political power of Pinglu and Fanyang, he immediately organized a huge caravan to do business with various ethnic groups in the north, and the ban of the imperial court was a piece of waste paper under his jurisdiction. In the past few years, the wealth accumulated by An Lushan has been able to compete with the central court.

In order to enrich the military strength that he values most, An Lushan can be said to have done everything. First of all, the number of soldiers of his two towns is 140,000 according to the regulations, and An Lushan is very clever in this point and does not exceed the number, but he reorganizes the old, weak and disabled soldiers into baggage logistics, and its vacancies are still filled according to the establishment, and the full elite soldiers are all elite divisions that can fight, which is enough to make him proud of the rest of the border generals; Secondly, An Lushan repeatedly provoked wars in the jurisdiction, and every time he fought a battle, he would ask the imperial court to allow him to temporarily recruit the elite soldiers of the rest of the adjacent Jiedu envoys to help in the war, although shrewd people such as Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan had already taken precautions and were not annexed by him to the elite troops under his jurisdiction, but there were also Abusi and others who were swallowed up by him with both soft and hard tactics Tens of thousands of soldiers, and these troops who could not get on the stage were hidden in Xiongwu City by An Lushan; Also, during the Xuanzong period, the number of personal soldiers of the generals of the unified army, especially the border generals, became more and more loose, An Lushan took the opportunity to select more than 8,000 elite soldiers from the Khitan, Tongluo, Xi and other Hu people, and organized them into his own pro-army, called "Luohe" (Turkic "strong man" meaning), and selected hundreds of strong boys, strictly cultivated from an early age, and accepted as his own henchmen and soldiers, some of these most elite and warlike troops, some of them were also hidden in Xiongwu City.

Up to now, the number of people under the actual control of An Lushan has approached 200,000, accounting for about 50% of the border army of the Tang Dynasty and one-third of the total strength of the Tang Dynasty!

Gao Pu watched teams of new soldiers drive into Xiongwu City every day, watched loads of grain and grass transported into Xiongwu City, and watched bundles of weapons and boxes of money and jewelry (An Lushan had obtained the right to mint money in the early days of Tianbao) being moved into Xiongwu City in a steady stream, what else could he have in his heart besides fear? Who is An Lushan's private and crazy preparations aimed at? Can he still be unclear?

A few years ago, Gao Pu saw that the situation was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and An Lushan did not restrain at all, and naively knocked on An Lushan's side, admonishing him not to arouse the suspicion of the court, but An Lushan was directly suspicious of himself. Behind the cold refusal, Gao Pu was transferred out of Xiongwu City. At this point, Gao Pu finally knew that it was no longer something he could stop.

Gao Pu, who wanted to escape from An Lushan's control, thought about it for two months, but was still at a loss. An Lushan was very suspicious, Gao Pu's performance of not being in harmony was naturally remembered in his heart, and he told Tian Qianzhen to take care of it on weekdays, and he simply brought Gao Pu with him when he came to Chang'an this time. Fortunately, when he arrived in Jinzhou, Gao Pu accidentally discovered Sima Chuan's figure, and Gao Pu, who had always been friends with him, immediately thought of Sima Chuan's connections and experiences all over the country, so he boldly made a private appointment with Sima Chuan and asked him to plan a safe escape route for himself. Sima Chuan would not give up such an important person, so he immediately carefully wrote a rather obscure letter, asking Gao Pu to continue to enter Beijing with An Lushan, and then take advantage of the chaos to find Yang Qing when entering the city gate.

Originally, everything was going smoothly as planned, but unexpectedly, Gao Pu's strange behavior after entering the city was still unfortunately bumped into by Tian Qianzhen's subordinate Ba Leno, and the nervous Gao Pu didn't dare to use words to stabilize Valerno, and stabbed him to death with a sword directly through the heart while he was unprepared, but the other party's counterattack before his death still seriously injured him. When Gao Pu came to the vicinity of Daningfang under the pressure of his injury, he could no longer bear it and finally stumbled to the corner......

Yang Qing was as if listening to a story, and he was fascinated, and the businessman Zhang Nan was also embarrassed. When Gao Pu was tired and silent, Yang Qing was shocked to realize that Mr. Gao in front of him really had the potential to tell stories, and many thrilling things made him sweat for him.

"Mr. Gao, you are seriously injured, and you must be tired after talking about it for so long just now, so let's rest first. Rest assured, at least in Yang Mansion, you are safe for the time being. Yang Qing said that he wanted to leave.

"Young Master Yang, please stay. Gao also had a word to ask. ”

"Sir, please."

"Yiqing once said to me that Gongzi has a big plan in his heart, and it has a great deal to do with Gao's jealousy. Now Childe does not hesitate to take risks to save Gao, which is naturally true. But I don't know if Childe can make it clear, what is the so-called big plan? Although Gao Pu's face was poor, his eyes were very sharp, and he stared at Yang Qing's eyes for a moment.

Yang Qing smiled slightly: "I don't know what Yiqing said to Mr.?" ”

"The situation was urgent, so I didn't have time to elaborate."

Yang Qing pondered for a moment, glanced at Zhang Nan, who nodded knowingly, and walked outside the door.

"What Qing is worried about is actually the same thing that Mr. is worried about."

Gao Pu nodded with a smile, he already knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have believed Sima Chuan's words and defected to Yang Qing: "I just don't know how sure Gongzi is, An Lushan will definitely rebel?" ”

Yang Qing and Shang Han looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that what they had said to Sima Chuan before had to be explained again.

"Originally, I wanted to wait for my husband's injuries to calm down, and then move him to another safer place, and then discuss with him in the long run. However, in this case, the gentleman must be uneasy. Okay, just ask Mr. to listen to Yang Qing's words, and you will naturally understand. Not long ago, Luo Gongyuan Luo Immortal Master ......"

Zhang Nan listened to the sounds in the room from high to low, a pair of vigilant eyes constantly patrolled the surroundings, but in his hand was a knife skillfully carved something on the wood. The lazy early spring sun shone on him, looking extremely bright and warm, just like the knowing smile on Zhang Nan's face now......
