In Anshi City, Ye Chang did not pretentiously refuse to live in the most luxurious former city lord's mansion, but his entourage was simple, and if it was a large city lord's mansion, it only occupied one courtyard.

"That's it?" Ye Chang stared at the soldier standing in front of him, his voice was still very soft, and his expression looked very flat, but the soldier suddenly felt a little cold.

"That's right, the subordinates are true, that guy claims to be the protector of the Andong Metropolitan and the vanguard of the Pinglu Army." The soldier said indignantly: "That Fan Chongwu actually followed the other party, it is really ungrateful

Ye Chang was also annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.

A mere vanguard general of the Pinglu Army also dared to snatch food and snatch his spoils

However, since the other party knows his identity, he still dares to do so, and he must also rely on it. The troops in his hands can be hidden from the Khitans, but they can't be hidden from the Pinglu army, and the other party thinks that he will not dare to fight

"What do the gentlemen think?" He looked at Zhang Hao and the others.

Zhang Hao was also full of anger, the people of the Pinglu Army had performed very poorly over the years, and An Lushan was a little unkind to see them, but now he dared to come to Ye Chang to grab food, which was unbearable

"It doesn't matter if anything else, but this Fan Chongwu will definitely be captured, he violates military discipline and throws himself to others, and he will be beheaded and unforgiving" Therefore, hearing Ye Chang ask, Zhang Hao replied in a hurry.

He was in charge of the law, and it was up to him to deal with the violations of discipline by the officers and men of the army, so although he was angry, he first answered from his own division of labor.

"Exactly, these wine bags and rice bags dare to be so rude" Wang Changling was also furious, because of his reputation and low background, he was often ostracized by his colleagues, and he hated this kind of colleague who stabbed in the back: "In a certain opinion, Ye Sima should take a two-pronged approach, one is to send troops and send generals to arrest them, and the other is to immediately send people to Chang'an to send a letter to Chang'an, and ask the Son of Heaven to severely punish such despicable people"

"What the prince said is the right way." Cen Shen also nodded in support.

"What do you think, brother?" Ye Chang looked at the clouds in the south.

Nan Jiyun hesitated slightly, and then spoke: "Sima Yu Fan Chongwu has great kindness, I look at his person, although he is a cunning person, but he is not a righteous person, so I think he took refuge in the other party because he was forced to do so, and maybe he had something else." ”

"What else can I do, it's nothing more than that I am afraid of the enemy's strength, I don't dare to fight, and I lost the escort character, and I don't dare to come back to see Sima" Zhang Hao snorted: "If you do this, you can also be pardoned, and above the battle array, who is willing to fight to the death?" ”

When it comes to debate, Nan Jiyun is not Zhang Hao's opponent if he has ten more tied together, Nan Jiyun has a self-conscious temperament, and he has no intention of fighting with Zhang Hao, so he squinted at him with his beard, and his eyes were somewhat contemptuous. Zhang Hao was suddenly furious, and couldn't help but speak again: "He treats the ignorant rats, and it is rumored that he also covets Di Lie's daughter, and for this reason the daughter even forgot the grace of Sima's promotion." Such a person must be punished in order to show the majesty of our army

Ye Chang had a headache, his team was only one of those people now, but the contradiction between civilian and military was already looming. After all, Zhang Hao and the others are from scholars, and although they value Nan Jiyun and Fan Chongwu, who are low-level soldiers, they may not respect them. And Nan Jiyun and other meritorious officials who fought hard and fought bloodily are not very convinced by these people who won the official position by shaking the fan and chanting poetry.

We must establish our own mechanism for cultivating military personnel and allow contradictions in the military, but we must not allow confrontation between such big factions as the Wenzhi faction and the martial arts faction, which are hostile to each other, because it is too easy to trigger military coups and the like.

"We must thoroughly investigate the matter of Fan Chongwu, if it is really that he is afraid of the enemy surrendering, then he will be punished with a correct punishment. If you still have any intentions, you can't spare it" Ye Chang pondered about the establishment of the army's talent training system, and at the same time opened his mouth and made a thin mud: "Even if you want to punish Fan Chongwu, you have to arrest him back first...... If you want to catch Fan Chongwu, you must fight with the Pinglu army, do you think, do we completely tear our faces, or do we have leeway? ”

At this moment, everyone fell silent, completely tearing their faces, that is, to eliminate the so-called vanguard of the Pinglu Army, and the next situation was not under Ye Chang's control. This kind of decision is not easy to do, and after a while, Nan Jiyun said: "No matter how Ye Sima decides, he is willing to be the striker." ”

Ye Chang was secretly happy in his heart, this was to show his attitude, even if there was infighting with the Pinglu Army because of this, Nan Jiyun would be on his side. Nan Jiyun is now the first general in Jili Prefecture, the number two person in the military, and his statement is almost the attitude of the military.

Cen participated in Wang Changling's face changed, and the two of them tended to leave room for it. It is not easy to make enemies of the Lu Long Army and even the Fan Yang Jiedu envoy behind the Lu Long Army.

Zhang Hao smiled: "Ye Sima's words are bad. ”

"Oh?"

"Up and down Jili Prefecture, you are the only one who can make this ruling, it should be you who decide whether to fight or peace, and then our staff will give you advice, and General Nan and these soldiers will fight for you. The handle of Tai'a shall not be given to others. ”

The standard of this is high, and the tong Mu Ding on the side nodded secretly, he is now a high-level person in Jili Prefecture, but on most issues, he is good at his duty and never says much. Cen Shen and Wang Changling, in his opinion, are people who dance and write ink, and only Zhang Hao's words show a bit of strategist style.

"I'll decide......"

"Exactly, if it weren't for Ye Sima's arbitrary ruling, who would be like this?" Zhang Ho is naturally authentic.

Ye Chang suddenly understood that after all, he still hadn't completely gotten rid of the influence of another life, forgetting that in this life, since he was the leader of this team, he naturally had the final say on the future direction of this team.

"Since it is my decision, then ......" Ye Chang was still a little hesitant at first, but gradually became firm, why did he come to Liaodong to open up the territory, to say that it was for the Han people, but to say that it was for the Han people, but to say small, isn't it just to get rid of the fate that as long as you get some good things in the Central Plains, someone will come to snatch them?

When he was in the Central Plains, he was alone, surrounded by strong enemies, and had to support him left and right, trying to find ways to maneuver around those with bad intentions. But now in Liaodong, he has two states, more than 100,000 people, thousands of tigers, and more than 10,000 regiments.

People fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a pillar of incense. Now he is only a mere vanguard of the Lu Long Army, if he does not meet the head-on attack, I am afraid that some people will think that he is weak and can be bullied, and any kind of thing will dare to run in front of him to show off his might.

"If he wants to fight, then he will fight" Ye Chang thought of this, only felt that his thoughts were suddenly clear, he clenched his fists, and said in a cold voice: "Those who dare to rob my subordinates and capture them must die."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was awe-inspiring, it was Zhang Hao, and they didn't expect Ye Chang to make up his mind in such a short time.

"That being the case, we should plan for it." Zhang Hao said: "The number of our army is 4,000, plus the 10,000 troops of Jian'an Prefecture, which is enough to suppress the thieves who entered Liaodong." Sima can now send an army to guard the crossing of the Liao River and hurriedly order the thieves to escape. The army rushed straight to the big stone bridge and broke the thieves with one blow"

"Will the thieves be on guard?"

"Otherwise, I know the heart of the border generals, they are actually watching ...... now"

Zhang Hao analyzed the psychology of the generals of the Pinglu Army to Ye Chang, and it was only Dong Qin, the vanguard of the Pinglu Army, who crossed the Liao River this time, and Hou Xiyi, the leader of the team, was only a general. It's not that the Pinglu Army can't get more manpower, but because the generals of the Pinglu Army are all waiting and watching, if Ye Chang shows weakness, they will definitely rush over without hesitation and devour Ye Chang's spoils, but if Ye Chang shows enough toughness and strength, they may not have the heart to completely turn their faces.

"Therefore, since Sima is determined to go toe-for-tat with him, he must not show the slightest intention of backing down, and will attack him head-on first."

"If this is the case, how should An Lushan deal with it, the Pinglu army is his subordinate, and after the pain, An Lushan will inevitably come forward." Wang Changling said worriedly: "The Pinglu army is 37,500 people, but Fan Yang is 91,400 people, the two add up, the number of soldiers is nearly 130,000, and our army is only 21 of them."

"It's okay, after I arrived in Liaodong, I was ordered to be the master of Ye Sima, and I also inquired about the news. Although the Pinglu Army is under the jurisdiction of An Lushan, unlike Fan Yang, An Lushan draws more warriors and horses from the Pinglu Army to serve Fan Yang, and obviously does not regard the Pinglu Army as his own cronies. The Khitan people were able to enter Liaodong, and there was a deliberate slack in the battle of the Pinglu army, and according to what I saw, An Lushan may not be willing to take this head for the Pinglu army. What's more, Anhu'er is the most greedy for side work, weren't we originally going to share the profit of seizing Anshi City? Originally, I wanted to give it to the Pinglu Army, but now I don't give it, and I give it to An Lushan."

Ye Chang is not ready to completely occupy Anshi Prefecture, the reason is that his strength is insufficient now, especially from Lushun to Anshi City, nearly a thousand miles away, the supply line is relatively difficult, even if he has a big ship, he is powerless.

There is another reason, it is the news from the north, Di Lie's army was defeated on the way back to Gaimu Prefecture, and was attacked by the forces of all sides along the way, but perhaps it was brought by the Khitans, or maybe it was caused by other reasons, and "pox" began to spread in the north

This is also one of the reasons why Ye Chang is in a hurry to transport the captives back, this pox is actually smallpox, it is extremely contagious, and there is almost no treatment, what Ye Chang can do is isolate and leave him to fend for himself.

"Do you think that's possible?" Ye Chang was inclined to this in his heart, but he had to make a decision in the general direction, and the details of the implementation needed to be discussed with everyone.

"It's a good plan." Cen Shen was the first to support.

"That's a good idea." Wang Changling also agreed.

Nan Jiyun did not object this time, as long as there was a battle, he didn't care who the opponent was.

"That being the case, then Zhang Gong, you lead an army, I will give you a thousand people, cut off the way back of the thieves, Nan Jiyun, I will give you two thousand people, attack immediately, and kill those thieves by surprise" Ye Chang ordered.

Everyone took the order and left, and only Ye Chang and Shanzhi were left in the room, and Shanzhi said: "Why don't you ask me to go to the battle to make meritorious contributions?" ”

Although he is a monk, he is no different from a layman now, seeing Nan Jiyun's repeated meritorious contributions, Ye Chang is also relying on him more and more, and he has the idea of comparing himself in his heart.

"Third brother, the safety of this Anshi City is in danger, but it is on the third brother, how can it not be a meritorious service?" Ye Chang said with a smile.

"You only know how to deal with me." Shanzhi muttered, but when he saw the faint melancholy on Ye Chang's face, he didn't say anything more.

Ye Chang was not worried about not being able to win this battle, he could draw the same judgment as Zhang Hao from the number of people coming from the other side, that is, the generals of the Pinglu Army did not really have the determination to tear their faces, Hou Xiyi waited over, it was just a temptation. What he was really worried about was acne, smallpox was a terminal disease, and he himself had no immunity to it, and now he had only heard that it was in the Gaimu Prefecture area, but who knew if the Khitans had brought it to the south

"Summoning Liang Dong and patrolling the city with me," he ordered.

Liang Dong is a "acting city lord", his foundation in Anshi City is extremely shallow, and he is completely dependent on the Jili Prefecture Army. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Ye Chang was calling, he immediately ran over, and his servile face was that Ye Chang felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw it.

"Hugh wants to be like this, do you do what you do?"

"Alright, alright, lime and white silk are ready. I ordered 500 young men in the city to clean up the garbage in the city, and in the middle of nowhere, I also had people dig pits and fill the garbage."

"What about the cows, have you found the cows with pox?"

Liang Dong muttered secretly in his heart, he really didn't know what this Ye Sima was planning, in addition to cleaning the streets of Anshi City, he also had to look for cows with pox. However, there are also a lot of cattle and horses outside the city of Anshi, especially when the Khitan people went south, they brought a lot of livestock, all of which were stocked on the banks of the Liao River. He whispered back, "I found it, sixteen cows with pox." ”

Ye Chang nodded, feeling a little relieved, but he didn't know what kind of cowpox was in his heart, so he had to drive these cows back and test them again in Jili Prefecture.

He couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, the power of smallpox raging in ancient times, he had long known the Tao, and originally planned to start studying the matter of cowpox after the situation in eastern Liaodong was stable and the basic medical system was completed, but he never thought that the heavens would not be beautiful, and before he completed the preparations, there were already acne sores. He looked at Liang Dong's cautious appearance, and confessed again: "These cattle are very important, you are good to raise for me." ”

"The villain only thinks that he has sixteen more ox ancestors." Liang Dong Road.

Ye Chang smiled, and then asked again: "How many people are willing to move south with me?" ”

Although he was ready to give up Anshi City, Ye Chang was not ready to give up a complete Anshi City, and the population in the city would try his best to take away what he could take. Hearing him ask like this, Liang Dong showed a look of embarrassment and cried out: "The villain has also exhausted his methods, but it is difficult to leave his homeland, these people have not fled when the Khitans came, and who is willing to move now?" With great difficulty, the villain only persuaded more than 200 households, and less than 1,000 people were willing to move south with Sima. It's not that the villain doesn't do his best, but it's really ...... It's too hard. ”
