"Ye Chang, this guy, really came to Liaodong, nominally to worship his father-in-law Li Linfu, but in fact, I am afraid that he came to Liaodong to make trouble."

At the same time that Ye Chang was talking about An Lushan, An Lushan was also talking about Ye Chang.

In front of him, his mastermind Gao Shangzheng handed over the latest report he had received to him: "According to the eyeliner, Ye Chang should arrive in Lushun in these few days." The news from the Bohai Kingdom is ready to be a hand. ”

After Ye Chang rose to the throne of Liaodong, Bohai and Silla didn't care at first, but as time went by, the two countries became more and more aware that allowing Liaodong to develop meant their shrinkage and death. Therefore, they inquired about Ye Chang in many ways, including the discord between Ye Chang and An Lushan, and they also found out. Bohai and An Lushan are close, and the two sides often have messenger exchanges, this time the secret envoy, Yu Juan, made a suggestion to An Lushan, and everyone carved up Liaodong together.

"Li Linfu's old husband arrived in Lushun, to be honest, I really haven't slept well in the past few years, but I am afraid that one day the sergeant from Liaodong will suddenly break into my residence and ask me to sacrifice my head." An Lushan didn't wear a hat on his head, revealing his three locks of braids, he scratched these braids hard, and said with a smile: "It's true that Ye Chang can fight with scheming, but compared to Li Linfu's old husband, it's still tender."

He is really afraid of Li Linfu, Li Linfu lives for a day, he will be frightened for a day, Ye Chang has not been in Liaodong for a few years, but he is still honest and does not dare to make any moves against Liaodong, the reason is Li Linfu. A few times when he had some thoughts, Li Linfu would send a messenger to "greet" him, the old traitor who couldn't even stand up because of the wind disease, made his cunning feel that he was bound everywhere.

After learning the news of Li Linfu's death, his first thought was to deceive people, and sent a messenger to condolence to confirm the news, he was so relieved that he patted his head more than once and said to his subordinates that this head could finally stay on his neck safely.

"The doctor's intention is to join hands with Bohai?"

"Tell Da Qinmao that I can help each other." An Lushan sneered at the corner of his mouth: "This guy wants to trick Aye into letting me be a thug for him?" Dreaming"

"Doctor, you must not, if you don't help each other, won't you sit back and watch the Bohai Sea become strong?" Gao Shang admonished: "I think we want to help, and we have to help Ye Chang"

"Oh, why so?" An Lushan was a little unhappy when he heard it.

"Although Ye Chang is good at fighting, he has also defeated the Khitan tribes in Liaodong before, and he has also won or lost with Silla, but Bohai and Silla have not raised the strength of the whole country to attack the previous victory in Liaodong, it is just a skirmish of thousands or more than 10,000 people on the border. This time it was different, the troops of the whole country in the Bohai Sea could get 200,000, and the number of troops in Silla was not less than that. Ye Chang is in Liaodong, and he only has more than 20,000 troops, which is conscription, and his troops are also difficult to 100,000. Moreover, if Ye Chang raises 100,000 soldiers, the troops of Bohai and Silla will reach 600,000."

"It's just the Bohai people boasting, if they can put together an army of 100,000 capable fighters, it's already good." An Lushan was a little disdainful.

The population of the Bohai State is only a few million, and the mobilization of 200,000 soldiers is not trivial, and the Bohai and Silla countries must gather 500,000 or 600,000 troops unless all the young and strong men in the country are transferred.

"Even so, there is no doubt that the number of people in Liaodong is scarce. Ye Chang has the ability of Zhuge Wuhou, and he can't have fewer enemies and more enemies, and defeat enemies ten times his own. ”

"Then I shouldn't go to work for him, I'm a soldier, but mine" An Lushan said: "He Ye Chang made a fortune in Liaodong, and seeing the wealth rolling, when did he give me benefits?" ”

Gao Shang muttered in his heart, in fact, An Lushan did not get a lot of benefits indirectly from Liaodong. He resold the materials of the Andong Chamber of Commerce, collected the passage fees of the chamber of commerce's caravans, and directly purchased weapons from Liaodong, and sold the ore and captured prisoners of war in his own territory to Liaodong, if there were no these, where would An Lushan be able to afford the current 180,000 troops

"Doctor, listen to me." Gao Shang paused, and then said: "We want to help Ye Chang, but we must pay attention to the timing of help, after Bohai and Silla force Ye Chang back to southern Liaoning, we will do it again and give Bohai a blow from behind." In this way, you can not only ask for merit from the imperial court, but also take advantage of the situation to recover Ancheng Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture. ”

"Jian'an State"

An Lushan's eyes suddenly lit up.

His covetousness for Jian'an Prefecture was almost to the point of drooling, and Ye Chang moved most of the craftsmen and equipment of the iron-smelting workshop in Liaodong to Jian'an Prefecture, and he was clear about this matter. He even knew better than Li Longji and Yang Zhao in Chang'an City the amount of steel produced in this Jian'an Zhou City every year

20 million pounds of steel

Before the rise of Liaodong, the steel output of Datang was only about two million catties, and now there are 20 million catties in Liaodong alone, ten times that of Datang It is precisely with sufficient iron tools as tools that the development of Liaodong will be so rapid, and a large area of wilderness has been turned into fertile land.

"In our hands, does he Ye Chang still have the face to go back?" Gao Shang smiled and groaned.

An Lushan felt that this strategy was very much in line with his own wishes, and he took advantage of it, but the risk was not much, as for fighting with the Bohai Kingdom, the other party was exhausted at that time, and he would fight it, what could he be afraid of.

"Good plan, good plan, really good plan" An Lushan patted his arm and shouted, but then frowned: "It's just that Ye Chang is cunning, how can he be so easy to deal with, Bohai and Silla are too stupid, too stupid, they should take advantage of Ye Chang's absence in Liaodong to do it again"

"Ye Chang is not in Liaodong, he is in the center, if Ye Chang says that the Son of Heaven will be mobilized and the power of the Tang Dynasty will retaliate, how can Bohai and Silla afford it?" Gao Shang did not approve: "It's better for Ye Chang to do it in Liaodong, Ye Chang will not dare to leave......"

At this moment, suddenly a person from outside hurriedly broke in and knelt in front of An Lushan: "Doctor, there is an urgent envoy from Chang'an."

"Chang'an urgent envoy?" An Lushan patted his fat belly with a pu fan, frowned, and his excitement quickly cooled down: "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"Urgent military situation, say it is...... Some thieves have rebelled. ”

"The thieves rebelled, what does that have to do with me?" An Lushan pouted.

"It must be news from Liu Luogu and Ji Wen, doctor, in my opinion, let's see you quickly." Gao Shang Dao.

Yan Zhuang next to him also nodded, and the two masterminds agreed on the same opinion, and An Lushan ordered the envoy to enter.

Gao Shang guessed correctly, it was the messenger sent by Liu Luogu. An Lushan is quite an atmospheric person, although he has a son in Chang'an, but the affairs of Chang'an are mainly handed over to Liu Luogu to deal with.

"Meet the doctor" The envoy knelt down and looked around: "It's very confidential......

"It's okay, I'm surrounded by people under my curtain." An Lushan waved his hand.

"Liu Gong said that there may be changes in the DPRK and China." As he spoke, he took out a wax pill from his underwear and handed it to Yan Zhuang in front of An Lushan.

After Yan Zhuang checked that the fire paint was correct, he twisted the wax pill, and the silk inside was exposed. This silk is as thin as a cicada's wings, although it is only a small ball, but after it is unfolded, it is not small, and there are dense handwriting on it.

"What did Liu Luogu say?" An Lushan asked.

"It's a paraphrase of Giwin." Yan Zhuang read it hastily, and his face also showed a look of horror: "Ji Wen said that there will be a big change in the DPRK and China"

"I know the way, I know the way, what's going on?"

Yan Zhuang only said in detail, it turned out that since Yang Zhao was misled by Ye Chang three years ago and burned the Zhuangzi of the crown prince Li Heng in secret, the contradiction between the two has become acute. It has always been rumored that Yang Zhao wants to ask Yang Yuhuan to recognize the young prince in the palace as his son, and with the help of Yang Yuhuan's favor, he will abolish Li Heng and make another new prince. This rumor even conclusively said that Yongwang Li Phosphorus was very likely to be the lucky one.

An Lushan had already known about this matter, and through some channel, An Lushan and Li Heng had caught up with each other, so he frowned again.

However, the source of the chaos in Beijing is not this, but the golden stamps issued by the chambers of commerce and banks, especially the Luzon Chamber of Commerce, which have become popular in recent years, have involved more than 100,000 people in Gyeonggi and the capital, and the money involved is more than one million. Ji Wen has found out that the person behind the golden ticket is Yang Zhao, who used this to secretly accumulate wealth to flatter the Son of Heaven. It's just that now the golden ticket has been accumulated, he was initially tempted by high interest rates, but now he can't issue high interest rates, so the short is ten days and a half months, and the long is one or two months, and the Luzon gold tickets will cause civil unrest. ”

"Ha Lu Ha" An Lushan didn't understand what this Luzon Golden Ticket would cause civil unrest, so he just patted his thigh and laughed. He and Yang Zhao did not have a good relationship, and he was naturally happy to see that Yang Zhao had made a mistake.

"Doctor don't laugh, there is an article behind this matter." Yan Zhuang twisted his eyebrows: "Yang Zhao This is a plan to blame, no one knows that Lu Dao, the person behind the Luzon Golden Ticket, is just because it is quite similar to the Anton Chamber of Commerce, so the people think that Ye Chang did it." If the Luzon Golden Ticket collapses, Yang Zhao will hide in the dark, but Ye Chang will inevitably be the first to be rushed by public opinion."

This is the strategy that Yang Zhao made with his henchmen, Ye Chang is famous for his good financial management, and he is the most useful in Li Longji's eyes, that is, he can make money. But when Ye Chang's financial reputation was ruined and became a source of chaos, Li Longji would no longer trust him even if he didn't punish him.

In Yang Zhao's view, losing Li Longji's trust also means the collapse of Ye Chang's military capital system, and at that time, Ye Chang's military capital system will be a piece of fat, waiting to be divided by the meat eaters led by him. As the minister of power, he will inevitably be able to get the largest and fattest piece.

After listening to Yan Zhuang's explanation of Yang Zhao's intentions, An Lushan pouted: "Daydreaming"

This is An Lushan's evaluation of Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao has stayed in Chang'an for a long time, so it is not clear that Li Longji's holy family has always been an important condition for Ye Chang's military capital system, not the main condition, or even a necessary condition.

"The second source of chaos in Beijing, and the third source of chaos in Beijing." Yan Zhuang said: "Guanzhong and Henan are connected to famine, and Yang Zhao has connived at the annexation of land and replanting cotton in order to make Ye Chang ruined, so the people of Guanzhong and Henan are on the verge of death. Ji Wen previously found that the matter of resisting taxes and donations has been more than ten times more than five years ago, and you must know that five years ago, but the dead ghost surnamed Wang was the one who interviewed Gyeonggi and received donations for 30 years at a time."

Speaking of this, Yan Zhuang couldn't help but inhale, no one thought that under the harmonious and prosperous appearance of Datang, there was such a crisis of cooking oil with fire

"Ji Wen is a person, he is a character, if he is the prime minister, he is much better than Yang Guozhong, a fool"

Because of the proverb, Yang Zhao changed his name to Guozhong, and An Lushan sometimes called Yang Zhao and sometimes Guozhong, which was also a habit.

"Doctor, this is a good opportunity, a God-given opportunity" At this moment, Gao Shang, who had read the letter carefully, stood up suddenly, almost raised his hands, and shouted to An Lushan.

"What, the trouble of the imperial court, although it is indeed good for me, but where can it be said that it is a godsend?

"Doctor, Ji Wen said here that if Guanzhong is shaken, maybe he will ask the doctor to enter the king of Jingqin - this is not a godsend, what is this" Gao Shang said: "If you can enter the center, the doctor can be with Ji Wen, why bother to fight with Ye Chang for this corner of Liaodong?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The doctor forgot, but Jiwen was ordered by the doctor to secretly marry the prince. Although the crown prince has been severely suppressed by Yang Guozhong in the past few years, Yang Guozhong is not Li Linfu after all, and he can't shake the foundation of the prince" Gao Shang looked around, confirmed that they were all An Lushan's cronies, and then continued: "Doctor, you still don't understand what the prince said before?" ”

"What does he mean......"

At this time, An Lushan could not understand that Liu Luogu's secret letter should have been sent at the request of Ji Wen, and Ji Wen did it under the hint of the crown prince Li Heng

Although Yang Guozhong can't suppress the crown prince, Li Heng can't wait at all, he himself is over forty years old, if Yang Zhao jumps up and down, and really lets Yang Yuhuan succeed in accepting a young prince as his heir, then where can he keep the position of the prince?

And judging from the current situation, Li Longji's body seems to be better than his body as a prince, maybe Li Longji will live to be eighty years old, but he will die at the age of fifty

"The prince's meaning is to imitate the actions of the present year, please ascend to the throne today" Gao Shang sneered: "Yang Guozhong's biggest problem is that he thinks he is strong, so he has made too many enemies at the same time, and he provoked the resentment of the people of the two capitals against Ye Chang, originally to solve Ye Chang, but he never thought that if these grievances were guided, he himself would not be able to protect himself." And if Gyeonggi is in chaos, how can it protect the Son of Heaven by relying on those pampered and excellent Jingzhong forbidden troops who are reluctant to even kill chickens? At that time, we will inevitably summon the border town to enter and King Qin, although we are not the closest to the Beijing Division, but as long as the prince uses some means, those who enter the Beijing Division first, how can they succeed, and at the end of the day, they still need the 180,000 elite soldiers in the hands of the doctor."

When Gao Shang said this, he exchanged a look with Yan Zhuang, and both of them became excited.

They both understood what each other meant, and An Lushan also understood what they meant, but the words that were not said were not suitable for speaking now.

If An Lushan's 180,000 elite soldiers are really allowed to enter the Guanzhong, then the retreat can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, with the power of the Central Plains, to suppress the four sides of the ministers, so as to achieve Cao Cao's feat.

Enter...... That's how expensive it is
