"Kill!"

The escape of the rebels did not surprise Ye Chang, there was the first battle of Ye Zhai, and everyone knew very well how these people would react after encountering gunpowder weapons.

So at the same time as An Lushan turned the horse's head, Ye Chang also gave an order.

"Grenadier, defend in place!" Cai Chenmin ordered after Ye Chang.

According to the "Grenadier Drill Code" compiled by Ye Chang, unless ordered by the commander-in-chief, grenadiers are not allowed to participate in the pursuit - they are the "technical arms" of this era, and they are hard-won, and they must not participate in short-handed matters unless they are forced to do so, so as not to suffer losses in the event of victory.

It was Shanzhi and other melee foot soldiers who rushed forward, but they didn't have long to rush before they heard the sound of a horn behind them.

This is the unified military number of Ye Changjun's system, and the meaning of collecting troops is also understood by them.

An Lushan hugged the horse's neck, lay on the horse, and galloped on the horse. His horse overturned several of his men, and he didn't even notice it.

The fear of the unknown made him fall into extreme confusion, and there was only one question in his heart: what kind of demon method did Ye Chang use.

The war horse led him around in an unclear direction, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and then looked at his position, but fled back to his own mansion. He was still followed by dozens of cronies, all of whom were also lost in their souls, and they had no courage at all.

"Doctor An, Doctor An, can a big thing be done?" He was in a daze when he heard someone shouting.

Looking at it from the side, it is solemn.

Yan Zhuang returned to his mansion to dispatch the town, this was the original arrangement of them, at this time, An Lushan couldn't help but get angry, and whipped to beat: "It's you who instigated me to collude with the prince to start an incident, but now I have suffered such a defeat, and my life will not be guaranteed, what can I do?" ”

Yan Zhuang was whipped, he even forgot to flash, and asked in surprise: "How is this possible, we have already deduced countless times, there is no problem!" ”

"Ye Chang, Ye Chang, we still missed Ye Chang......"

"Where did you miss the calculation, Ye Chang has more than a thousand people, and he is sure to die...... Could it be that he has demonstrated his ability to scatter beans into soldiers? ”

Ye Chang's defeat of the rebellious people with veterans and martial arts workers has always been rumored to have the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, Yan Zhuang and other people who know the inside story naturally know that this is impossible, but at this time, in a panic, he couldn't help but take out the version of this folk rumor.

"It's more powerful than sprinkling beans into soldiers, he will summon thunder, summon thunder fire!"

"No, no, if he can really summon thunder, Doctor An, where can you come back alive?" Yan Zhuang was stunned for a while, and then said, "He must have done something to cover his eyes......

"The thunder shook the sky, the flames soared, the dead and wounded were everywhere, and under the thunder, it eroded for miles...... An Lushan said angrily: "I saw it with my own eyes, could there be any mistakes?" ”

"Don't be fooled, Ye Chang is used to tricks...... By the way, he's good at ingenuity, could it be some new weapon? ”

Yan Zhuang is quite wise, and he also knows Ye Chang very well, and his words are the essence of the matter. When An Lushan heard this, he thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but doubt his belief: "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure, it must be!" Solemn and unequivocal.

He gambled his future and net worth and life on An Lushan, and An Lushan is now depressed, even if he lies, he has to give him a lot of energy.

"Yes...... If he can really summon thunder, he should not stop pursuing, not stop halfway. "An Lushan Road.

"Doctor, what is the situation now, where is the Son of Heaven, and where is the Prince?" Seeing that he was recovering from his breath, Yan Zhuang asked again.

"The Son of Heaven was rescued by Ye Chang, and the prince is in Xingqing Palace."

"What, the Son of Heaven has escaped?" Yan Zhuang was taken aback: "How is this possible?" ”

"The prince acted too rudely." An Lushan commented: "There are mistakes everywhere...... It's no wonder that even Yang Guozhong can suppress him! ”

Such a situation...... The matter is urgent, Dr. An should immediately return to Xingqing Palace, help the prince ascend the throne, summon hundreds of officials to worship, and declare that Ye Chang is holding the emperor hostage, trying to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he is reckless in the world! Yan said solemnly.

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" An Lushan suddenly woke up.

This coup d'état allowed Li Longji to escape, which can be said to be incomplete. No matter what the secret weapon used by Ye Chang was, the next thing would inevitably be that the Tang Dynasty would split into two parts. What they need to do now is to take advantage of their current advantages to attract as many people as possible in their own hands.

"At the same time, we have to mobilize a large army to continue to pursue Ye Chang, and we must not let him escape." Yan solemn and said.

The reason why Ye Chang rescued Li Longji at any cost was to use the banner of Li Longji to order the Quartet. Maybe Ye Chang himself doesn't care about this righteous name, but for the generals and commanders who hold military power in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, this title still has great influence.

Not to mention anything else, Ye Chang himself ordered that Gao Shi of Jiannan and Nan Jiyun of Beiting would return to the army, and the two of them would hesitate somewhat, but if they gave the order in the name of Li Longji, they would not hesitate. The rest, like Li Guangbi and Ge Shuhan, are even more unlikely to obey Ye Chang, but they will obey Li Longji.

It's easy to say that he is holding hundreds of officials hostage, but the pursuit of Ye Chang made An Lushan hesitate. Yan Zhuang urged: "Ye Chang's troops are insufficient, even if he has a divine weapon, he always has to rely on people to use it." If we do not take advantage of his lack of soldiers to destroy him, when he returns, we will be in danger. Since the doctor has already done something, there is no way out, and his life should not be in the hands of others. ”

An Lushan was shocked: "That's right, I'll go!" ”

He returned to Xingqing Palace and mobilized people to not mention it, Li Longji and others, under the escort of dozens of forbidden soldiers, finally arrived at Jinguangmen, and then looked back to the east, the entire Chang'an City was already in turmoil, and the original peaceful atmosphere of the New Year was gone.

"I don't know if Ye Chang can stop the thief." Li Longji muttered to himself.

"It can be stopped, it must be stopped!" Next to Shou'an Road.

"But, but ......" Wei Jiansu was worried, and he couldn't make up his mind.

"Say." Li Longji rolled his eyes and glared at him.

"In the city, An Lushan...... There are nearly 10,000 thieves, and there are only a few hundred people in Ye Gong, how to stop them, it is to stop them, outside the city, there are 100,000 thieves and 100,000 military horses, all of them are ...... They are all Hu soldiers who are loyal to the thief! Wei Jiansu was a little desperate: "The thief's military power is too heavy, and the soldiers and horses given by the imperial court plus his own private soldiers are enough to ...... 200,000."

Li Longji felt that his eyes were black, his body shook, and Shou An next to him hurriedly supported him.

What Wei Jiansu said, how Li Longji is not clear!

It was precisely because he was clear that he pinned his hopes on Ye Chang, counting on Ye Chang to quickly defeat An Lushan, and then take over the city defense of Chang'an City, and block An Lushan's army with the help of a strong city.

Reason told him that this was an impossible task, but emotion forced him to think about the good side. Wei Jiansu exposed his illusions, so he had to face up to this problem: if Ye Chang lost, what should he do.

Yang Guozhong was there, his eyes kept rolling.

Tonight the situation changed so quickly that he realized that he was the most dangerous of all. Whether Li Heng gains power or Ye Chang succeeds, his fate will not be easy.

You have to adapt, you have to think of a way!

"General Chen is back, General Chen is back!" Yang Guozhong was pondering when he heard someone shouting in front of him.

Just when they were fleeing, Chen Xuanli asked Ying to go to Jinchengfang and other places to recruit the forbidden army. There were originally several thousand forbidden troops in Chang'an City, and because of the Chinese New Year's Eve, most of them went home to reunite with their families, and there were not many people in Xingqing Palace, so he estimated that he should be able to recruit one or two thousand people back here. Li Longji was naturally accurate, and now that he heard that he was back, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward in person and go over to greet him in person.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Chen Xuanli came with nearly 2,000 people, not all of whom were forbidden soldiers, some of them were fathers, brothers, sons and nephews of the forbidden soldiers. Seeing Li Longji personally come to greet him, Chen Xuanli was both moved and ashamed: "The incompetence of the ministers has caused Your Majesty to meet this calamity, how dare you welcome Your Majesty in person?" ”

"The one who recruited this catastrophe is myself, I believe in treachery, so that the rebel thief will be successful, fortunately, there are loyal guards such as Chen Qing and An Qing......"

Li Longji saw that there were a lot of people, and his heart was a little settled, but when he said this, his words suddenly froze.

Yang Guozhong was accustomed to figuring out, and in the middle of his thoughts, he guessed why Li Longji was stuck.

The person who contributed the most tonight was undoubtedly Ye Chang, but Li Longji didn't say a word to Ye Chang!

An Lushan has not chased after him so far, proving that Ye Chang has repelled him, but Li Longji is still not at ease, worried and worried!

He was worried about Ye Chang, even if he had to rely on Ye Chang's ability now, Li Longji still wanted to master some power to make him safer.

An Lushan can be opposed, can't Ye Chang be opposed?

Yang Guozhong understood this in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you can't stay here for a long time!" ”

Li Longji turned his face sideways, squinted at him, and seemed to smile: "Oh? ”

"Although Ye Chang is brave, he has few troops, An Lushan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city, since he has done such a rebellious thing, how could he not prepare in advance? Thinking of his soldiers and horses, he was almost in the city at this time. We don't know where the thieves are attacking the city, and if we don't retreat at this time...... When the enemy is attacked on the back of the abdomen, Ye Chang has the courage to be unstoppable, how can he deal with it? ”

Yang Guozhong did not attack Ye Chang, but followed Wei Jiansu's words, but Li Longji heard what he meant: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Chang'an is not far away from Longyou and Hexi, and now these two towns are full of soldiers and loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty can temporarily tour the west and call Ge Shuhan to protect. An Lushan still has half of the soldiers and horses in Fanyang and Hedong, and he can be the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu and lead Shuofang's troops to capture Fanyang and Hedong. ”

Yang Guozhong understood that this remark was related to his fate, and he talked eloquently, even exceeding the usual level several times and giving full play to his ability. Li Longji's expression was still noncommittal at first, but after hearing this, he nodded slightly.

Yang Guozhong's forehead was already sweating, and he didn't know it yet. Seeing Li Longji nodding slightly, he struck with a hot iron: "Now General Chen has led two thousand loyal people to come to escort, Your Majesty is touring the west, at the right time, with the help of the rutted train, you will be able to meet Ge Shuhan in a few days, if you can do so, then Your Majesty will be safe, and the Tang Dynasty will be safe!" ”

"If that's the case, just follow Qing's words!" Li Longji pondered for a while and said.

Shou An was anxious to listen, and stepped forward and said: "Father, by all means, now Ye Chang is still killing the enemy, maybe it is, if the father and the emperor retreat, the morale will be depressed, and the prince and An Lushan collude, and the father leaves Beijing, will the towns in the world be deceived by the prince?" ”

"Ge Shuhan has always been loyal to the saint, as long as the saint sends an envoy and summons him to lead the army to escort him, he will definitely gallop in the starry night!" Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice: "The minister is willing to bear it with his life!" ”

He also gave up at this time, and even put his net worth and life on the line. Ge Shuhan's relationship with him is actually not good, but he has a very good relationship with Gao Lishi, but the best relationship with Yang Guozhong is An Sishun, but he is An Lushan's brother, and he is living in Chang'an, obviously it is impossible to be a general, and now the only plan is Ge Shuhan.

"I heard that Ge Shuhan is not in good health, and he is still recuperating in Chang'an in the first half ......of the year," Shou Anxin was anxious, and said: "The important responsibility of the country, when it is paid to the strong and healthy people, how can it be entrusted to a sick man?" ”

"Although Ge Shuhan has been old and sick recently, he has recovered in the first half of the year, so he can return to Jiedu, but Ye Chang heard that he had a cold wind not long ago." When Yang Guozhong said this, he said to Gao Lishi: "General Gao, you have always known about military affairs, what do you think?" ”

The reason why Yang Guozhong said to Gao Lishi has its own reasons. Li Longji did not allow courtiers to marry border generals, but Gao Lishi was an exception, when An Lushan and Ge Shuhan were not in harmony and quarreled repeatedly, Li Longji once sent Gao Lishi to mediate between the two. Ge Shuhan's biggest reliance in the court is this Gao Lishi. If it had been placed before, Yang Guozhong would definitely not be at ease with Ge Shuhan, but now, just like he once used An Lushan to deal with Ye Chang, he wanted to use Ge Shuhan to maintain his position.

As for whether he can control Ge Shuhan, and what kind of attitude Ge Shuhan has towards him, it is not something he can consider now.

"The slave maid thought that Ge Shuhan had an enmity with An Lushan, and when he heard that His Majesty had summoned him, he would definitely come to King Qin." Colliers pondered for a moment, but did not answer directly.

Li Longji's biggest hatred now must be Li Heng and An Lushan, as for Ye Chang, he is a little worried at most, so Gao Lishi is still the same as before, and he did not choose a side.

However, his words reminded Li Longji: Ge Shuhan and An Lushan have a personal enmity, although it is not as incompatible as Ye Chang and An Lushan, but it also means that it is impossible for Ge Shuhan to join forces with An Lushan!

Ge Shuhan was still recuperating in Chang'an in the first half of the year, and later after the civil unrest, Li Longji summoned An Lushan into the house, and at the same time, he also appointed Ge Shuhan as the two towns and let him return to the station, the original purpose was to contain An Lushan in case of emergency. Thinking of this, Li Longji made up his mind: "Send someone to deliver a letter to Ye Qing, I will withdraw from Chang'an first, and ask him to be the Wubu Shangshu, Xijing to stay behind, Jing Zhaoyin, if there is any disharmony, come to me to protect me!" ”
