Fortunately, the scale of Hualong City is not large, although the manpower is slightly insufficient, but 500 elite soldiers and 2,000 strong people can barely support it.

In terms of how to arrange the city defense, Ye Chang is a layman, although he knows the crossfire of the Dao Fortress, but these are not useful for the time being. Seeing that Yang Jinghui was quite knowledgeable, Ye Chang pulled him and Gao Shi and let these two decide how to arm. Li Bai always pointed fingers at his side, but in most cases, he was ignored by Ye Chang, but Cen Shen memorized it very carefully, obviously learning how to arrange city defenses.

Later, Ye Chang didn't care about this side of the matter, he ran to the artisan camp station, watched the craftsmen raise the fire and began to build blades

I walked around the craftsman's camp, gave some orders, and then went to look at the storehouse. Here, Ye Chang found a problem, Huangfu Weiming kept saying that the grain and grass were mostly concentrated in Hualong City, but in fact, the treasury was very empty, which made Ye Chang's heart tighten: He wouldn't be tricked by Huangfu Weiming, right?

After careful scrutiny, it is really possible that Huangfu Weiming did not store too many materials in Hualong, so abandoning this bait would be just a loss of five hundred soldiers who were not considered cronies to him, and then there was Ye Chang, a person who did not like his eyes......

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Chang suddenly jumped up.

He has never been afraid to speculate on those who calculate him from the greatest malice, which is very unpleasant to him, and it has made him many enemies. However, this kind of personality also made him smell danger more than once before he fell into danger.

If Huangfu Weiming really sacrificed them, it would be better to report to the court that they fought to the death, and if it was not good, Yu Crisp completely put the responsibility for the loss of Hualong City on their heads.

Anyway, Gao Shi offered him a time, and there are not many people who know the Tao, so he can take all the credit for the defeat of the dog

The more he thought about something wrong, Ye Chang's expression was solemn, it seemed that his original plan was not enough, and he had to be more fully prepared

"There are a lot of ordnance, and the people will be armed immediately, they can't be counted on in the field, but they can still play a role when defending the city under the leadership of the sergeants......"

While thinking, he hurried back to the city, and when he arrived at the city, he saw that Gao Shi and Yang Jinghui were still discussing there, Ye Chang said: "Just in case, put the winch crossbow on the city, the craftsman, I have asked them to step up the manufacture of simple winch crossbows, which can cope with it for a while."

"That's nature." Yang Jinghui said.

"In General Yang's opinion, when will the dog Rong attack?"

"It will take a day or two for Inu Rong to get the news, and it will take another day or two to send someone to confirm it. It will take four days for us to enter the city. As I expected, it would be eight days later. ”

"So, there's still time, then...... Can General Yang ask the Imperial Doctor for help, oh, that's it, if you ask for help, the Imperial Doctor will not send you. ”

"But your robe is still related, General Yang, you send someone back to find out why the Imperial Doctor transferred those 1,000 soldiers." Gao Shi was on the side.

There are 1,500 sergeants, plus 2,000 minmen, so there is no need to worry too much about this battle.

Yang Jinghui soon found out the news, which made Ye Chang grit his teeth. It turned out that Bian Lingcheng only brought more than 500 people, and at first he felt that the Tang Dynasty was overpowering the Quartet, and most of these more than 500 people followed him to mix the credit, but after understanding the ferocity of the dog Rong, he pestered Huangfu Weiming to protect him. He is the envoy of the prison army, and it is not wrong to ask for someone to guard, but Huangfu Weiming allocated him 500 people, he is too little, and named Wang Yuan's troops to protect him, Huangfu Weiming thought that he had spoken for Ye Chang, and in a fit of anger, he transferred back the manpower allocated to Ye Chang.

When he said this, Yang Jinghui said angrily: "You said that he is a eunuch eunuch, and he doesn't serve the concubines of the Son of Heaven in the palace, what is he doing here is not a good thing, and it really hurts people."

He and Ye Chang are difficult brothers, so some complaints dare to attack in front of Ye Chang. But he didn't get Ye Chang's response, and when he raised his eyes to look, he found that Ye Chang's face was pale and stunned.

Ye Chang was indeed stunned.

Bian Lingcheng got his benefits, and he wanted to speak for him in front of Huangfu Weiming, but it turned out to be like this...... Sure enough, he deserves to be the most famous teammate in history.

cheated Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and brother Shuhan - the problem is that now he is pitting himself.

"The dead eunuch on the donkey day, the goods without eggs" scolded twice in his heart, Ye Changzhi said, it is too late to scold now, unless he abandons his post and runs away, he will have to face this embarrassing situation. And the result of abandoning his post and escaping is inevitably wanted by the imperial court, and it is a dead end if he is caught.

After all, I still underestimated the situation on the frontier......

Gao Shi, Li Bai and Cen Shen next to him all frowned, Ye Chang looked at them and found that everyone was at a loss.

Since Huangfu Weiming made the matter of transferring troops from their side, he was obviously angered by Bian Lingcheng, and since he saw that Bian Lingcheng was speaking for Ye Chang, he simply pitted Ye Chang. Therefore, if you want to find the emperor and send someone again, it is purely self-inflicted, and you can't do it unless you have to

"In this way, I'll go back and see Bian Lingcheng and see if I can think of some way......"

Ye Chang pondered and pondered, and only found the edge to Ling Cheng to help. He looked at Gao Shi, Gao Shi nodded, and then looked at Cen Shen, Cen Shen was somewhat unangry, but Li Bai felt that it should be so: "That's it, the trouble he found naturally has to be solved by him, but Eleven Lang, Bian Lingcheng is as timid as a mouse, I'm afraid that I won't lend you my guard." ”

"Guards?" Ye Chang smiled: "As long as he guards him, won't he be cheaper?"

Gao Shi's eyes suddenly lit up: "If there is a way to deceive him, then it is naturally the best, originally the grain and grass smith camp is the place where the dog Rong must take, plus an ambassador of the prison army, how can the dog Rong let it go?" ”

Yang Jinghui heard that they were calculating the ambassador of the prison army here, and Rao did not have the slightest respect for Bian Lingcheng, but he still couldn't help but change color: These people are said to be famous people in the world, and they really live up to their reputation.

But Bian Lingcheng, that coward, how dare he use himself as bait?

"This matter is really only for Eleven Lang to go, Ye Shiyi, how did you trick us three people into coming here, how can you kidnap Bian Lingcheng too." Li Bai said with a smile.

Ye Changyu laughed twice, sure enough, no one is a fool, Li Bai and the three of them now understand that they came to Luoyang specifically to kidnap the three of them. However, Gao Shi is deep and Cen Shen is introverted, and he can't hide his words like Li Bai.

It's okay to say it, and if you say it, the matter will be revealed.

"In this way, Chang will go now, in short, I have to think of a way to kidnap Bian Lingcheng." Ye Chang said: "In the situation here, there are Lao Gaogong, General Yang and the two. ”

Yang Jinghui was skeptical that Ye Chang could kidnap Bian Lingcheng, but at this time, the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, so he could only respond to it

After Ye Chang returned to Hongji City, he did not go to Huangfu Weiming, but went straight to see Bian Lingcheng. Although Huangfu Weiming did not wait to see Bian Lingcheng, the etiquette on the surface was still done, so Bian Lingcheng lived in one of the few complete houses in the city, and the camp of 1,000 elite soldiers was set up around Bian Lingcheng's residence and guarded it.

Seeing this situation, Ye Chang was even more sure that Bian Lingcheng was really as timid as a mouse.

Hearing that Ye Chang asked to see him, Bian Lingcheng didn't let Ye Chang wait for a long time, and after a while, Ye Chang entered his room, and happened to hear that he was losing his temper, just because there was no honey in the army.

Ye Chang thought of something, smiled and took a small bag and handed it over: "Bian Gong, the conditions in the border land are simple, and it is common to have no honey, Bian Gong wants to eat sweet, there is some sugar here, Bian Gong may wish to taste it." ”

He offered sugar cubes. The improvement of sugar making technology was not a difficult task for him, and the white sugar obtained after filtration was made into sugar cubes for sale, which was also the next industry he was preparing for.

"Ye Chang, why did you come to see us until now?" Bian Lingcheng asked the attendant to take the sugar, he was not afraid that Ye Chang would harm him, so he took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and then opened his mouth to blame, but he only said one sentence and then changed his tone: "Hey, it's so sweet, it's so sweet, there is no astringency of other sugar...... Ye Shiyi, this must be a new thing you have made up, I don't know what its recipe is, copy a copy and send it to me. ”

Ye Chang smiled and said: "Bian Gong is embarrassed for me, this is the loot captured a few days ago, we fought with the dog Rong when we first arrived, Bian Gong must also know about it?" ”

Bian Lingcheng didn't know this, he responded vaguely, and was still a little suspicious: "Ye Chang, you have to lie to me, how can the dog Rong have such skills, they can make sugar?" ”

"Emperor Taizong once sent an envoy to Tianzhu to learn the strategy of boiling sugar, and Bian Gong should know about it." Ye Chang said again.

Bian Lingcheng still responded vaguely, he still didn't know, but if he wanted to come to such a thing, he would know when he went back and asked that Ye Chang should not dare to lie to him.

"What is the relationship between Tianzhu and Dog Rong?"

"The relationship between the dog Rong and the Nibhara is very harmonious, the Nibhara is a subject country of the dog Rong, and in addition to marrying my princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, it is said that he also married the princess of the Nibhara."

"Don't talk around the bush, just say it, just say it"

"Tianzhu has hundreds of large and small states, some of which are subject countries of Nepal, Emperor Taizong when the Emperor of the Dynasty San, Wang Xuance once asked Nepal to send troops, breaking the Tianzhu Magadha country, therefore, Tianzhu sugar, it was introduced to Nepal, and through Nepal into the dog Rong."

Ye Chang is talking nonsense, what he said is half-true and half-false, how can Bian Lingcheng tell the difference? Therefore, he said with some regret: "If this sugar is made by Ye Shiyi, how good it would be, how much money can it make me......

Secretly scolded, Ye Chang smiled and said: "If Bian Gong really wants it, it's not impossible, as long as we can defeat the dog Rong, capture its craftsman, and ask the origin carefully." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, or Ye Shiyi, you're right, Huangfu Weiming, this idiot, has been here for many years, and I haven't seen him pay attention to this matter" Bian Lingcheng was happy, originally wanted to immediately find someone to ask Huangfu Weiming, but when he thought that if it was exposed, the interests in it would not be monopolized, so he changed his mind at the moment: "Ye Shiyi, you want to win the battle......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly closed his mouth, because he saw that Ye Chang's expression was a little weird. Although Bian Lingcheng wanted to make Zhi dizzy, he was not stupid, and his eyes suddenly widened: "What, you don't hide it, just say what you have."

"Doesn't Duke Bian know what to do, could it be that Doctor Huangfu didn't tell Duke Bian?"

"This ...... He has been avoiding us all these days, what can he tell us? ”

"Alas, the imperial doctor doesn't tell Bian Gong, and it's hard to say it......"

"Ye Chang, when Huangfu Weiming embarrassed you, but let's speak for you" The eunuch was suspicious, the more Ye Chang was like this, the more Bian Lingcheng wanted to know what cause and effect there was in the middle of the Dao, so he said in a deep voice: "You have to think clearly, Huangfu Weiming doesn't want to see you"

The eyes of the dead eunuch were poisonous, but Ye Chang had a strange smile on his face: "This...... It's hard to say......"

"Hmm...... Could it be that day, you are acting" Bian Lingcheng saw that he mentioned that the emperor was not waiting to see Ye Chang, Ye Chang showed this expression, and suddenly thought that he had grasped the key.

Ye Chang looked at each other in surprise: "How does Bian Gong know...... Ugh. ”

Seeing that Ye Chang finally said something, Bian Lingcheng was triumphant: "Say it quickly, say it quickly, you can't hide it from us, what are you and Bian Lingcheng thinking?"

Ye Chang hesitated, looked left and right, and after Bian Lingcheng retreated left and right, Ye Chang lowered his voice and said: "Just now Bian Gong wants a certain idea to win the battle, a certain person feels strange here, a big victory is in front of him, Bian Gong doesn't know"

"A big win?"

"Yes, you can sacrifice the great victory of the court," Ye Chang said.

Bian Lingcheng has only been here for a few days, and he has been tormented by this plateau environment, so when he heard that he was a prisoner in the court, his eyes suddenly lit up: Doesn't this mean that he can return to Chang'an?

"Say."

"Bian Gong's eyes are like torches, I and Doctor Huangfu are indeed acting, and now I am in Hualong with the craftsman's camp and grain and grass, in order to lure the dog Rong out of the Jishi Army. I offered advice to the Imperial Doctor, after the Dog Rong sent out the army, the Imperial Doctor robbed it in the middle of the road, which will make the Dog Rong difficult to take care of, isn't this a big victory? ”

Bian Lingcheng pondered for a while, and said with some suspicion: "Will the dog be fooled?" ”

"The probability of being fooled is seventy percent." Ye Chang said with a smile: "Doctor Huangfu has already decided that as long as the dog Rong comes out of the Jishi Army, he will attack the whole army."

"Good...... It's a good ......" Bian Lingcheng said yes twice, but scolded "what a fart" in his heart.

Huangfu Weiming didn't mention this matter to him at all, which means that Huangfu Weiming intends to monopolize this great merit If he wins a big victory, he doesn't know anything about it, why did he return to Chang'an to offer prisoners, and why did he occupy this merit and ask for it to be returned?

Ye Chang said again: "Even so, Duke Bian should also be careful, Doctor Huangfu has never mentioned anything to you, and I am afraid that he will only want to keep Duke Bian to guard Hongji City...... I expect that the place where the Huangfu doctor robbed the dog Rong should be dozens of miles away, if the dog Rong is attacked at this time, the border prince must be small

Bian Lingcheng was immediately furious.

The credit is not given to him, but the thankless matter of guarding Hongji City is handed over to him?

But thinking about Huangfu Weiming's attitude towards himself, Bian Lingcheng admitted that this is a very likely thing. Let him take a thousand men to defend the city...... He still has this bit of self-knowledge, and he doesn't know anything about how to defend the city

"Ye Shiyi, how do we treat you?" Holding back his anger, he pondered how to expose Huangfu Weiming's plan, lifted the table, and everyone scattered, and suddenly saw Ye Chang's figure, his heart moved, and he asked.

"Treating a certain person can be described as a mountain." Ye Chang said word by word.
