On October 15, the fifth year of Datang Tianbao, light snow suddenly came, making people realize that winter had come.

However, this year's winter came later, and the Liao River is only a little thin ice in the early morning, and it will completely dissolve by the morning, so it will not affect the navigation of ships here.

An Lushan was on a boat, dressed in a robe, looking at the east bank of the Liao River, and all he saw was a vast expanse.

"Ye Chang's house is interesting, these days he has been busy moving the people of Anshi City to the south, in such weather, I don't know how many people will die on the way," said Gao Shang next to him.

They were very happy to hear the news that Ye Chang had moved south, which had already exposed Ye Chang's plans to a certain extent.

An Lushan smiled, and turned his gaze to a young man in front of him: "Li Huaiyu, you will have to recognize which one is Ye Chang in a while." ”

The young man was Hou Xiyi's Goguryeo cousin Li Huaiyu, and he was ordered to ask for help, but although An Lushan mobilized troops and horses to Liucheng, it was too late, and Hou Xiyi was already defeated and died. Li Huaiyu originally looked down on his cousin a little, but he was grateful for his grace in getting rid of him, so he vowed to avenge him

Although he was young, he was strong and vigorous, and An Lushan intended to make it his own trailing river, so he took it with him to listen to.

"Thank you, Doctor An" listened to An Lushan's instructions, Li Huaiyu gritted his teeth and said.

"This guy is rude, the time is coming soon, but others haven't appeared yet," An Lushan said

"How long is it until noon?" An Lushan asked.

"There is still a moment."

"Keep waiting...... If we can wait for the result we are satisfied with, why not stay a little longer? "An Lushan Road.

Naturally, they would not come by lone boat, not far behind An Lushan's ship, there were more than 20 ships of different sizes. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement on the east bank of the river, An Lushan frowned, and when he was wondering if Ye Chang was playing tricks on himself, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's coming."

The boat did not come from the east bank, but from the lower reaches of the Liao River. An Lushan raised his eyes and felt a pang in his heart: it was a big ship

This ship is larger than the boat that An Lushan is on, but it does not have a few floors of shipbuilding, so it does not appear to be tall. Seeing that the ship was going upwind and the speed was not fast, An Lushan shook his head slightly: "I heard that Ye Chang built a ship in Lushun to build a ship, could it be that this thing was built?" ”

Gao Shang looked at the ship with a fixed mind, and also felt a little puzzled, this ship seemed to be unsuitable for warship.

Although the ship was slow, it was still getting closer, and soon it was on par with the An Lushan boat, and then dropped anchor and stopped.

Although the boat that An Lushan took was not as big as the other party, it had a three-story shipbuilding, so he could be condescending and look at the boat, only to see that the ship's sailors were very proficient, although they were busy, but there was no chaos.

Then I saw a team of people coming out of the cabin, and the leader was Ye Chang.

Ye Chang raised his head to look this way, and when he saw An Lushan overlooking the side, he smiled and arched his hand: "I've seen Dr. An."

"Master Ye Sima, it's really hard to invite." An Lushan Ha Lu Ha Da Lu said with a smile: "Chang'an farewell, see you again today, I am very relieved." ”

"Seeing that Dr. An is fine, my heart is also very relieved." Ye Chang smiled and said, "Doctor An summoned me to meet, I don't know what to order?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, seeing Ye Sima in Chang'an City, I have a feeling of familiarity at first sight in my heart, let's not be in a hurry to talk about business today, we might as well talk about goodbye first......"

Ye Chang scolded secretly in his heart, what is the relationship with you, a fat man, but since An Lushan said so, he didn't want to look like he was very urgent, so he smiled at the moment: "Doctor An wants to talk about his farewell, I don't know how to narrate?" ”

An Lushan smiled and didn't speak, and at this time, the noble man next to him stretched out half of his body and said condescendingly: "I heard that Ye Sima is good at poetry, Wang Changling next to him is known as the poet of heaven, and Cen Shen is also famous for his poetry. Today, Dr. An and Ye Sima meet, and they are meeting in the middle of the storm, and I invite Ye Sima to compose a poem to congratulate Dr. An."

Hearing these noble words, Wang Changling and Cen Shen were furious, and in the noble words, they regarded Ye Chang as the Qing guest literati around An Lushan and the others who helped the idle people in the city of Anshi that day, and they had the upper hand with the advantage of their tongues, Ye Chang didn't bother with him at that time, and he still wanted to be like that time today

Without waiting for Wang Changling and Cen Shen to speak, Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Ye Sima waved northward, the Khitan Dilie Khan was defeated, and the rebel general Hou Xiyi awarded the first Jian'an, such a meritorious deed, he should be congratulated." I heard that Dr. An is good at Hu Xuan Dance, and now Dr. An is like a high platform, and he is just doing Hu Xuan Dance for Ye Sima He."

Wang Changling and Cen Shen both turned their anger into joy, although they were noble and sharp-tongued, but Zhang Hao was not inferior to him at this time. The noble ridiculed Ye Chang as a Qing guest literati, and Zhang Hao ridiculed An Lushan as a maiko musician. Zhang Hao's counterattack was so sharp, Gao Shang was stunned for a moment at the time, only to feel that Zhang Hao today seemed to be completely different from that time.

An Lushan heard this, and said with a smile: "I am for the dance of Hu Xuan, only dancing with the Son of Heaven and the concubine to watch, Ye Sima wants to see, but I am afraid that it will be done in the Chang'an Palace." ”

He didn't think he was ashamed of being a maiko musician, but felt that he could dance in front of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, which was trusted and reused by the Son of Heaven. When he said this, he couldn't say what he was originally noble to sneer at, so he swallowed it back, suffocating so much that the blood in his chest was surging, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Doctor An, how can you say that."

"What does Doctor An say, he has his own reason, noble, don't be too rude" Yan Zhuang said on the side

Gao Shang could only shake his head again, An Lushan smiled, squinted at Ye Chang, and saw how he responded.

Ye Chang would not compete with him for the position of this courtier, and said with a smile: "Doctor An is very good...... Now that the love has been explained, why doesn't Dr. An get back to the point? ”

"Since you can't wait, then I want to ask, what is Hou Xiyi's crime, and he was actually harmed by your treacherous schemes?" The smile on An Lushan's face was not retracted, his face was as heavy as iron, his eyes were as cold as stars, and he stared at Ye Chang, like a fierce beast, about to pounce and devour people

"Exactly, Hou Xiyi is the general of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, who has fought in the frontier for many years, and has made a lot of contributions, and Dr. An is about to recommend it. Ye Sima, did you kill the general without authorization, did you treat the laws and decrees of the Tang Dynasty as nothing, Doctor An as nothing, and the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty as nothing? Gao Shang felt that this was another opportunity, and immediately jumped out and shouted again.

Before Ye Chang could answer, he heard a cry on the bow of An Lushan, and a young man appeared on the side of the ship, pointing at Ye Chang with a halberd, and scolded: "Dog thief, you immoral and incompetent horseman, kill my brother, harm my soldiers, take away my merits, and harm me Ye Chang, you pig and dog are not as good as the animal"

Ye Chang didn't say anything, he glanced at Nan Jiyun, Nan Jiyun understood, and suddenly raised his hand, raising his hand is an arrow. He was holding a crossbow in his hand, which had already been wound, and the other person was at the other end of the boat, and everyone's attention was on Ye Chang, and they didn't notice him. The guards around An Lushan noticed him and were also busy guarding An Lushan, so Nanjiyun loosened the crossbow machine, the strings sounded terrible, and the arrows broke out of the air.

Li Huaiyu was crying and scolding at Ye Chang, and it was too late when he heard the sound, the arrow pierced through his neck, his scolding stopped abruptly, and the person was stunned for a moment on the boat.

In front of An Lushan, he thought that he was very safe, but he never thought that Ye Chang would shoot him without hesitation

He leaned forward, tumbled off the side of the ship, and fell into the water with a thud, and a faint trail of blood rose on the water.

"Bold"

"Presumptuous"

"Damn it"

With Li Huaiyu falling into the water, An Lushan's boat was in chaos, more than ten shields protected An Lushan and other groups, and dozens of armor soldiers in the cabin rushed out, with bows and arrows against Ye Chang's boat, just waiting for An Lushan's order, he wanted to shoot a hedgehog

An Lushan was also shocked and angry in his heart, he glared at Ye Chang, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"The noisy people are gone, and now we can talk to Dr. An about Onshizhou." The corners of Ye Chang's mouth rose, but he smiled lightly.

"Ye Chang, what do you mean by this?" Ye Chang's expression made everyone on An Lushan's boat at a loss for a while, and after a while, the noble screamed and asked.

"Hou Xiyi dared to come to my mouth to grab food, that was self-defeating, he was exhausted in the army, only his cousin Li Huaiyu escaped. I wanted to punish this thief for a long time, in order to deter Xiaoxiao, but today Dr. An sent it, but I was disrespectful, so I had to take his life. Ye Chang said calmly.

Gao Shang was still about to speak, but he felt that his throat was tight, his voice was astringent, and he only made a muffled grunt, and then he didn't know what to say.

In addition to shock, there was also fear in his heart.

Ye Chang's meaning was very clear, if he dared to provoke him, even if he hid beside An Lushan, he would think of taking his life. Li Huaiyu was brought here by An Lushan, originally as a bitter witness against Ye Chang, but he was shot under Ye Chang's eyes

This proves at least two points, one is that Ye Changming is clever and decisive, and he expected that Li Huaiyu would appear, so he made such an arrangement early; The second is that Ye Chang will repay him, this kind of temper is better than rumors, and even more domineering than An Lushan, who is known for his domineering

It's true that Li Huaiyu offended Ye Chang, but didn't he offend Ye Chang if he was noble? Whether it was the sunrise or the time when Fang Cai was arguing, his humiliation of Ye Chang was far below Li Huaiyu. Ye Chang can make someone shoot Li Huaiyu, can't he shoot him noble?

An Lushan's eyes flashed fiercely, and Ye Chang shot Li Huaiyu in this situation, which lifted the anger in his chest. He almost couldn't control his temper and ordered a duel with Ye Chang, but although he was fierce and brutal, he had the cunning of a fox, Ye Chang dared to be so unscrupulous, how could he have nothing to rely on

After calming down, An Lushan could feel his hands trembling, and Yan Zhuang next to him whispered: "Gong An, Doctor An, control anger, control anger"

After a while, An Lushan finally controlled himself, and he said coldly: "Ye Chang, what do you want to say, just say it." ”

"Five days later, Dr. An will come to take the city of Anshi." Ye Chang said: "Take this as a congratulatory doctor"

An Lushan frowned and said, "That's all? ”

"Another 1,000 achievements, left with Dr. An to reward his subordinates." Ye Chang smiled and said, "With this, Dr. Xie An gave me this little thief Li Huaiyu." ”

"That's all?"

"That's enough, the next thing is what Dr. An can give me."

An Lushan hadn't spoken yet, and Yan Zhuang next to him said in a low voice: "Doctor An, ask him what he wants."

"Do you think we should take what he sent?"

"When you receive, you naturally deceive, kill the enemy and regain the land, this is a great achievement, and I like it the most, Dr. An has made this contribution, why worry about no reward in the palace?"

"Aren't you afraid that these credits are poisonous bait?" An Lushan has always been greedy, but today he has to be cautious.

Speaking of which, it was Ye Chang who ordered to shoot Li Huaiyu just now, which gave him too much shock. He has always regarded human life as a mustard, grinding his teeth and sucking blood to kill people like hemp, which shows that when someone is more ruthless and decisive than him, the fear in his heart is also extraordinary.

"I don't expect that it will be a poisonous bait, Ye Chang has taken Jian'an Prefecture, and the merit of opening up the territory has already been made, one more state and one less state, it doesn't mean anything to him, could it be that the imperial court of one more state will give him the post of head of the Liaodong marching army?" Yan Zhuang's eyes flashed, and he said quietly and quickly: "The first achievement is also the same reason, he won a big victory over the Diera Department this time, and he was afraid of nearly 10,000 and more than 1,000 first achievements, what is it?" ”

An Lushan was still hesitating, and Yan Zhuang said: "I asked the doctor to ask him what he wanted, and for this reason, if he gave up Anshi City and Shouji like this, then there may be fraud in it, but if he still has other plans, then the possibility of fraud is extremely small." ”

When a person next to him heard this, he felt that it was not like that, and couldn't help but interject: "Doctor, no, if this is the case, Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu died in the hands of Ye Chang, wouldn't they not be held accountable?" Doing this will chill the hearts of soldiers."

"Otherwise, the person that Dr. An relies on, Fan Yang, Pinglu Second Army, Hou Xiyi, is a subordinate general of the Protectorate of Anton, although he is dispatched by Dr. An, he has always been arrogant and quite disagreeable. His fellow party members also had discord with us in the same face, and borrowed Ye Chang's hand, in addition to the fangs of his generation, and took the opportunity to install generals loyal to Dr. An and annex his subordinate soldiers, just at this moment" Yan Zhuang said with a smile.

An Lushan felt that what Yan Zhuang said was very reasonable, nodded, and immediately raised his voice: "What do you want?" ”

Ye Chang laughed, An Lushan was willing to say this, which proved that he was already moved.

"What I ask for is good for me and for Dr. An." Ye Changdao.

"Oh?"

"Dr. An should know about the Andong Chamber of Commerce." Ye Chang said slowly: "This is a joint venture between the nobles of Beijing, and Ye is only the manager of the middle, and he must earn enough money every year to pay the dividends of the nobles in Beijing." ”

An Lushan not only knows the Andong Chamber of Commerce, but also knows the inside story of it, this organization with a strange reputation, behind it is most of the powerful forces of the Tang Dynasty, and even Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan have profited from this Chamber of Commerce

"Ye Sima's skills are okay, but I admire your ability to make money." An Lushan also said bluntly.

"What I ask for is that the caravan of the Andong Chamber of Commerce can trade freely under the jurisdiction of Dr. An, and if Dr. An is willing to send troops to protect him, I will have to speak well for Dr. An from the nobles in Beijing, and I will not let Dr. An contribute in vain." Ye Chang said with a smile.
