Ye Chang also saw Yang Xun's gaze when he looked back, and that gaze was extremely strange, which made Ye Chang stunned in his heart.

He never felt that he could hide his hatred with Yang Wei forever, so when Yang Wei talked to him, he was still guessing whether the other party knew that he was the brother of Ye Shu who had been killed by him.

But now Yang Xun's gaze was so complicated that Ye Chang couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Seems a little ...... for him Fear?

With his identity as a colt, there is no need to be afraid at all, even if he can exert some influence on Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, but this influence is still too far from that of old traitors such as Li Linfu and Gao Lishi.

Just after this wordless glance, Yang Wei turned around and left, and Ye Chang also walked towards the Moon Hall.

Li Linfu summoned Ye Chang to meet him, and after Ye Chang sat down, Li Linfu said with a smile: "Ye Chang, don't leave at noon today, accompany the old man to have a few drinks."

Ye Chang was a little inexplicable, he was still hanging him yesterday, and even this morning, he was clearly going to dry him at the beginning, why ...... now Attitude changed?

"Li Gong wants to drink, I have some self-brewed wine, but my temperament is stronger, I don't know if Li Gong wants to drink?" He didn't understand it in his heart, but he followed Li Linfu's meaning in his mouth.

"Your Majesty said that he wanted to point out the marriage for you, and the old man knew about it, and the old man would arrange it, so you just have to rest assured." Li Linfu said with a smile again.

"Huh?" Ye Chang was stunned.

This kind of daze was regarded as a surprise by Li Linfu, and he laughed: "There are no elders in your family, some things are inevitably not well considered, if you have any questions to ask, just ask the old man, don't feel ashamed."

Ye Chang only felt that his head was a little insufficient, but Li Linfu did not show hostility, he was always disappointed when he came up, so he smiled and said: "There are some things that I really want to ask Gong Li...... The ...... of Liaodong"

As soon as he said this, someone suddenly outside: "The military department is urgent, asking to see the prime minister"

"Present" Li Linfu's brows suddenly furrowed, and he only felt disappointed.

However, since he is a powerful minister, he always has a desire for power, and he knows that since he is called the emergency report of the military department, it must be a very important thing. After a while, a petty officer hurriedly entered and presented a military report to Li Linfu.

After Li Linfu saw it, his expression changed slightly: "Take my map"

Someone brought the map to him, Li Linfu was a little presbyopia, looked at the map very hard, thought about it, he recruited Ye Chang: "An Lushan's good news, it is said that it is a great victory in the battle with the Khitans, breaking the Khitan alliance in Yanjin Prefecture, and the Khitan part of the Khitan broke up to South Suzhou, and then invaded Gaimu Prefecture in the south, and the local Hu chieftains have lost their sincerity and surrendered, so An Lushan intends to go to Liaocheng Prefecture to ......"

Listening to him read, Ye Chang looked at the map, and then his face became gloomy.

To the south of Gaimu Prefecture is Liaocheng Prefecture, and further south of Liaocheng Prefecture is Anshi Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture, and further south of Jian'an Prefecture is Jili Prefecture

In other words, the Khitans were only three states away from Jili Prefecture at this time

"Can An Lushan hold the Liao River?" Li Linfu asked.

"He can't hold on...... The news when I came was that he was a mocker, and he was beaten to the ground," Ye Chang gritted his teeth and said.

He could almost guess that An Lushan's so-called victory in Yanjin Prefecture was only afraid of a big defeat, and it was best to see the Khitans crossing the border and not dare to stop the Khitans from crossing the Liaoshui from Yanjin Prefecture, and then to the north and east was the Bohai State, and their strength was not great at this time, and the eight tents of the Ju clan were only one or two hundred thousand people, and it was impossible to challenge the Bohai State, so they could only go south.

These 200,000 people, with the skills of nomads, can get 350,000 soldiers, and the Khitan southward states are the areas under the jurisdiction of the former Andong Protectorate, and they gradually gave up after the rebellion in Yingzhou, just like Ye Chang to the previous Jili Prefecture, which was controlled by the chieftains of various ethnic groups and was nominally canonized by the imperial court. It is impossible for them to resist the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers, and even if they are united, they are afraid that they can withstand the Khitans

"In this case, although this letter was sent urgently, this battle took place at the end of February, and it has been nearly two months now." Li Linfu groaned slightly, and then looked at Ye Chang: "You stay in Beijing......"

Li Linfu's meaning is obvious, that is, now that Liaodong's clouds have changed abruptly, Jili Prefecture is facing a crisis, so let Ye Chang stay in Chang'an to avoid being in danger.

Ye Chang would never make this choice.

"Please allow me to return to Liao quickly." Ye Chang shook his head and said: "Don't let the Khitan sit big, otherwise Youyan will be in danger."

"What do you mean by that?"

"In the past, Xi was in Raole, Khitan was in Songmo, and Fan Yang was guarded by the strength of a town, and Lu was divided into Lu to Fu Murowei and Bohai to help Fan Yang's momentum. Now there are millions of people in Andong thousands of miles, if the Khitan collects and uses it, if this and Goguryeo are also like this, then Liucheng is not guaranteed, and Fanyang is in danger. If the Central Plains is strong, it will harass and encroach on Youyan, and if the Central Plains is weak, it will destroy the Great Wall and enter Hebei, and the disaster of hundreds of years for future generations must not be allowed to happen

Ye Chang pointed and said while pointing on the map, Li Linfu frowned, and said for a while: "You are right, although it is a problem of ringworm and scabies, if you ignore it, it will be a disaster for future generations." ”

But he still had a difficult look on his face.

Ye Chang understood why he was embarrassed: "The imperial court has no soldiers and no food?" ”

"Exactly, the sage wants to recruit Xiao Bolu, and he has made Gao Xianzhi ready" Li Linfu squinted, quite embarrassed: "Longyou, Fanyang, these two towns can't relax, and on the side of Beiting, although Bai Mei is dead, but if the Hui people don't take precautions, they can't do it......"

Not only that, but he looked at Ye Chang again: "In the southwest, there are also changes in the barbarians...... The imperial court not only can't draw soldiers, but also can't transfer money and food, if you can bear it, after two or three years, when the battle of Xiao Bolu is over, the old man should allow you to recapture Jili Prefecture."

Ye Chang said almost without hesitation: "I have been captive for two or three years, and I have lost two or three years...... Xianggong, if you go to Liaodong here, you don't need money and food for the imperial court soldiers, you should have materials, and the Free Andong Chamber of Commerce will accept it, just allow me to recruit exiles and move to Jili Prefecture for use in war."

Li Linfu was shocked in his heart, in his opinion, Jili Prefecture is really not an important place, and even the entire Liaodong is dispensable, but Ye Chang's attitude is clearly to coexist and die with Jili Prefecture. His perception of Ye Chang has changed again, Ye Chang is by no means a person who does not know how to choose, but he still makes such a choice, what is the purpose of this?

At this time, he felt that the relationship with Ye Chang was different, so he didn't guess, and asked directly: "If you want to defend Jili Prefecture, what is the purpose, just talk to the old man, don't you still believe the old man?" ”

Ye Chang glanced at Li Linfu, a little surprised by his attitude, and wondered why Li Linfu would talk to him. He didn't know that Li Linfu mistakenly thought that Yang Xun was the person he invited to explain his hardships, and he was already old at this time, and looking at him was looking at his son-in-law

"If you want to go overseas to find Xianshan, Lushun must be protected, if you want to protect Lushun, Jili Prefecture must be protected, and if you want to protect Jili Prefecture, the old land of Andong Duhufu must not fall into the hands of the Khitans." Ye Chang hesitated for a moment, and decided to use the search for overseas immortal mountains as an excuse: "Gong Li, if you can find overseas immortal mountains, all the problems now will not be a problem."

What he said was very vague, but Li Linfu was a person with nine know-hows, and his thoughts turned sharply, and he immediately thought of two things.

One is Li Longji, Li Linfu knows very well that whether it is himself or Ye Chang, today's wealth and power are all attached to Li Longji, if Li Longji dies, then he and Ye Chang will have to fall down. If he can find overseas immortal mountains and seek the medicine to prolong life, then Li Longji can live for a few more years, and the wealth and power of himself and Ye Chang can also continue. is not thinking about Li Longji, he is actually older than Li Longji, although he is still full of energy, but he also knows that his body is gradually showing signs of decay

The second is for the future, even if you can't ask for immortal medicine, if you can't maintain your power, then there is a land of Jili Prefecture, and there can be a back road - the story of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, Li Linfu is still very clear.

Thinking about this, Li Linfu's eyes flashed: "What you said was what you wanted, just ask, the court here, what can be given to you, I will try my best to give it to you"

He thought far-reaching, Ye Chang was bent on visiting overseas immortal mountains, so if the big Jili Prefecture always needed someone to control it. The Ye family itself has nothing worth mentioning, and among his Li Linfu's sons and nephews, although they are relatively mediocre, they are at least ...... Let's get a piece of the pie in Jili State.

What's more, if the marriage between Ye Chang and Tengkong can be completed, half of this Jili Prefecture will also be his Li family. To guard Jili Prefecture is to guard the family business of his Li family

If Yang Wei didn't come to visit, Li Linfu would definitely not support Ye Chang unreservedly, and it was even very likely that Yu Crisp would leave Ye Chang in Chang'an, and let Jili Prefecture gain and lose. But because of Yang Huan's tentative words, Li Linfu misunderstood and really regarded Ye Chang as his own, so he said what he could to give. If Yang Wei knew about this, he was afraid that he would vomit three liters of blood again.

On this day, in Li Linfu's mansion, it can be said that the guests and hosts were happy, but Li Tengkong did not come out to see each other again. Ye Chang got Li Linfu's letter, and when he went home again, his expression was much more relaxed.

The support that Li Linfu promised to give was the most important in three aspects: First, people were allowed to recruit exiles, servants, and criminals in Hebei Province and Henan Province, and an average of 20,000 people could be recruited into Liao every year, so as to enrich the population of Jili Prefecture. The second is grain, which is allowed to be purchased in Huainan Province and transshipped to Liaodong.

As for the third article, the post of the chief of the Liaodong marching army was established, and the Xiangping Shou was transferred to the subordinate jurisdiction of the Liaodong Governorate, so as to avoid being controlled by the Fan Yang Jiedu envoy and the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and allowed to raise no more than 3,000 regular troops and no more than 15,000 regimental training in Jili Prefecture, and the cost should be borne by the national treasury of Jili Prefecture, as in the case of each town. If a new state is annexed, it will be increased accordingly. The opening of these policies almost allowed Ye Chang to develop in Liaodong without restrictions, such as the salt industry and the iron industry, which were originally monopolized by the state, and now he can do things in Liaodong. What's more, Ye Chang didn't have to care about An Lushan's moderation at all, to a certain extent, the governor of Liaodong had replaced the position of Andong's protectorate and became the envoy of half of the festival.

The position of the chief of the marching army was not originally newly created, but some of it was changed to the governor's office, and now that it is taken out, it will not receive too much doubt and opposition. Moreover, the general manager of the march can be led by the prince Yao, and his chief official is the official who really presides over the work, which is convenient for Ye Chang to perform.

With Li Linfu's active promotion, just waited for another three days, Ye Chang's farewell was issued, and his new official position was the judge of the Liaodong Marching Army and the record of joining the army, trying to accumulate Lizhou Sima, inspecting the school writers, guerrilla generals, Xiao cavalry captains, Jili Prefecture camp field envoys, degree support envoys, transfer envoys, a lot of names, and the rank was also promoted to the fifth rank, and according to his wishes, his vacant official positions and subordinate official positions were all made by him.

Therefore, Luo Jiuhe became the new Xiangping Guard, Nan Jiyun was the training envoy of the Liaodong Regiment, Cen Shen was the secretary of Jili Prefecture, Zhang Hao was the official of Jili Prefecture, and the rest of the people had their own functions.

Even so, Ye Chang still has a large list of official positions in his hands that can be arranged, but not all the people he wants to recruit are in place, for example, to come to II, Ye Chang invited him with his position, he is still hesitating, and Wang Changling is still in Jiangning at this time, and he still doesn't know if he has received the letter sent by Ye Chang and Cen Shen.

The matter of Chang'an has been completed so far, Ye Chang still has to go to Luoyang and cultivate martial arts, so he will not delay, and after saying goodbye to the corresponding people, he will prepare to leave Chang'an.

This time he did not choose to take a boat, but by land. On the ninth day of the first month of April, the people who had made friends in Chang'an arrived at Baqiao to bid farewell to him, he looked back at everyone, and was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly heard a cry.

"I don't know who it is, the injuries are separated, and they are like this." Cen Shen sighed next to him.

"The eldest husband should take advantage of the Quartet, how can he follow the attitude of his children," Zhang Hao said angrily.

This is not to laugh at others, but to motivate yourself. He traveled the most extensively in Chang'an City, so there were more people who came to see him off than Ye Chang. He has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and he can't help but feel a little melancholy when he thinks that this trip will be to Liaodong, which is known for its bitter cold and barrenness. In such a situation, there is only such self-motivation.

"What Zhang Gong said is very true, a good man is ambitious in all directions, and if he separates for a while, what is it. In the past, Wang Bo sent Du Shaofu to Shuzhou, and there was a poem 'confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other, we are confidants together, and there is little loneliness in the road"

The two of them encouraged each other by Ye Chang's side, but Ye Chang's attention turned to that side, because he always felt that among the crying and crying people over there, there seemed to be a pair of resentful eyes staring at him.

But whenever he went to look for it, he couldn't see anything.

"Let's go......" he smiled and shook his head, perhaps because he was too sensitive.

But at this moment, I heard someone shouting: "Ye Sima, please stay"

Sima refers to his position as Sima of Lizhou, Ye Chang heard that the voice was coming from the place where he was crying, so he looked over. I saw an old man come out of the crowd, this old man was very haggard, dressed in his usual clothes, and slowly walked towards him.

Zhang Hao was taken aback by the side: "Li Shizhi"
