Chapter 494: Each has a ghost and is busy calculating
Xianyang City didn't even stop Ye Chang for a long time!
As soon as Zhuo Shunfu and An Yuanguang led the forwards to arrive, An Shouzhi, who was arranged by An Lushan in Xianyang, was immediately captured by his subordinates and dedicated to Zhuo and An. Wang Sili, who had been paying attention to the news here, only realized at this time that Ye Chang was sure that he would let Zhuo An and the others seize Xianyang in half a day, because he had already bought a large number of middle-level generals under An Lushan. Although An Lushan can promise glory and wealth to these people, but seeing that the building is about to fall, how can these people not have different intentions, and when it comes to throwing money, who in the whole world can compare to Ye Chang?
At this time, Wang Sili was annoyed and regretted, if he dared to make a military order, this credit would be his-he still trusted Ye Chang's character very much, if he really made a military order, Ye Chang would definitely fully support him.
It's a pity that now, regret is useless, he can only lead his headquarters to the south to intercept the defeated army of An Lushan who may flee south.
The news of the loss of Xianyang and the capture of An Shouzhi did not return to Chang'an in the first place, and when the news reached Chang'an, Ye Chang's vanguard scouts had already appeared on the periphery of Chang'an.
The one who controlled the Jinguang Gate was An Lushan, and when they heard the news, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately reported it to Yan Zhuang. When Yan Zhuang heard the news, he almost vomited blood, so he could only rush to Xingqing Palace to see An Lushan.
It's just that the situation in Chang'an City is quite delicate at this time, Shi Siming's department controls the southeast of Chang'an City, occupying about one-third of the location, An Lushan controls most of it, about two-thirds of the area, the two sides have been fighting for two nights and one day, and finally they still have some scruples, although there are quite a lot of casualties, but they have not yet decided the winner.
"Ye Chang's army has arrived?" An Lushan was lying on the bed, and when he heard the news, he immediately sat up, shocked and angry in his heart: "An Shouzhi also betrayed me, they all betrayed me!" β
Yan Zhuang was dripping with cold sweat, the day before yesterday, he received a whistleblower from Lu Qi, and learned that Shi Siming, Liu Luogu and others colluded to launch a mutiny, for the sake of his life, he finally came to see An Lushan with An Sixu once, An Lushan was riddled with injuries and illnesses, and his vision was extremely blurred, but after hearing this, he jumped up and scolded Shi Siming.
Cutting off An Lushan from the outside, although it is Yan Zhuang's cunning, but it is also in line with An Lushan's current physical condition, so when Yan Zhuang did this policy, he was sophistry, and he was allowed by An Lushan, but now Shi Siming wants to use this as an excuse to launch a mutiny, how not to make An Lushan, who has become very suspicious, extremely angry.
In his opinion, this is clearly Shi Siming's ingratitude, and he stabbed him in the back at his most difficult time. As for why Shi Siming wanted to **** this knife, whether he wanted to use his head to ask Li Longji for credit, or wanted to replace him as the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, in short, there was no shortage of reasons.
An Lushan also wanted to use covert means to solve Shi Siming at the beginning, but Shi Siming was cautious, Liu Luogu's intelligence was timely, and with the help of someone with a heart, the secret contest between the two sides suddenly became a showdown on the surface, after all, An Lushan has accumulated prestige for a long time, after he personally came forward, Shi Siming can only control the troops of his own descendants and a few people and horses attracted by Liu Luogu, in this case, the two sides are evenly matched, An Lushan only has a slight advantage, and Chang'an City has become a battlefield.
In this way, there were quite a lot of casualties on both sides, which made it difficult for them to stop, and they couldn't sit down and talk for a while, but at this time, Ye Chang's soldiers were very fast, and they were already in the city.
"An Shouzhi's family is all in the city, but I am afraid that I will not dare to betray His Majesty, and I am afraid that there will be another reason......" Yan Zhuang wanted to persuade like this, but the first few times he persuaded him to be a whip, so he couldn't help but hesitate.
Fortunately, An Lushan today is different from some time ago.
Shi Siming's internal strife made An Lushan completely sober up, and he returned to that hero, although he was still suspicious and tyrannical, he no longer vented his anger so easily.
"This matter is put aside for the time being, now there are two things that must be done, the first thing, you send a messenger to Shi Siming, just ask him, do you want my head, or do you want my position, if it is these two, before Ye Chang enters the city, I will kill him first, if it is not these two, let him obediently guard the territory he controls, if the area I am guarding is in need, he needs to come to help quickly, his territory is in danger, I will not sit idly by."
Yan Zhuang shuddered, which means that the two sides have obviously been killed in a river of blood, but they still have to work together to deal with Ye Chang, but in this case, can the two sides really ignore the old grudges?
What's more, this kind of cooperation, I'm afraid it doesn't bode well for him!
But he also didn't dare to express his opinion, after all, at this time, only when Anshi joined hands again could he tide over the difficulties.
"Second, you have locked up all the officials who have been a little unstable for a while, and the news of the loss of Tongguan has come out, it must be that some of them have colluded with Ye Chang's party, they are Ye Chang's natural internal response, if you can't control it well, maybe the city gate will be sacrificed by them without waiting for Ye Chang to fight!" When An Lushan said this, he sneered: "The means can be more intense, Chang'an City...... We may not be able to hold it, the army has no fighting spirit, after all, we still have to go back to Fanyang, in this case, why don't we bring more gold and silver treasures, these dog officials have to spit it out for me now after eating me all these years! β
The meaning of this second countermeasure makes Yan Zhuang even more solemn: An Lushan has the intention of withdrawing from Chang'an!
Since entering Chang'an, An Lushan has not done well, and the coup d'Γ©tat was not completely successful, but he buried his favorite son, and pursued Ye Chang and Li Longji without any results, but lost his generals...... Not to mention these, the most important thing is that his physical condition is deteriorating day by day, thinking of the upcoming scorching heat in Chang'an, he is really worried about whether his life will be lost here.
Although An Lushan doesn't know where his real roots are, he has already regarded Fan Yang as his roots. Even if he died, he hoped to die in Fan Yang, not in Chang'an.
Yan Zhuang was full of joy after a while, this is a beautiful difference, An Lushan almost authorized him to loot the officials and nobles in Chang'an City, many of these people have been honored for generations, and their families are rich, not to mention that they are rich enough to rival the country, at least hundreds of thousands of millions of people have no problem!
They will store the gold and silver in the cellar, as long as they dig a cellar, Yan Zhuang, the manager, can give themselves a lot of wealth!
At this time, Yan Zhuang had no hope of becoming the prime minister of the empire, and only thought that if the big thing did not work, he would be able to get out smoothly and go to a place where no one knew him to be a rich man.
After he took the order and left, An Lushan looked at his back, because his vision was seriously reduced, the solemnity in An Lushan's eyes was only a vague shadow, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he said sharply: "Donkey, you go and call Qingxu!" β
Li Donkey heard the words and left, and not long after, An Qingxu arrived in front of An Lushan, and when he saw his father, he trembled and did not dare to be careless. These days, Yan Zhuang, Li Donkey and others have been beaten by An Lushan, and the same is true of him, the so-called prince. This made him resentful, especially An Lushan's undisguised partiality for his young son, which made him even more restless.
"These days, you have done a good job with Yan Zhuang!" After An Lushan summoned him, he covered his head and first scolded An Qingxu, which frightened An Qingxu to his knees immediately.
But today An Lushan only scolded one sentence, and then said: "You disappointed me very much, and now there is one more thing to hand over to you, if it is successful, it will be regarded as a merit, if it is not successful, don't think about your position as the prince!" β
"The father and the son will definitely go all out until death!"
Hearing the word "death" in his mouth, An Lushan was extremely unhappy in his heart, but at this time, when employing people, he had no other person in his hands who could be trusted, so he just snorted, and then said: "I want you to send reliable people to spread fire things all over Chang'an City, just wait for me to withdraw from Chang'an, then choose dead soldiers, set fire everywhere, and burn the Tang army that entered the city!" Even if you can't burn Li Longji and Ye Chang, you have to give them a scorched earth Chang'an! β
An Qingxu trembled when he heard this, he didn't spend as much time in Chang'an as his brother Anqing Zong, and Chang'an's lights and wine were drunk and golden, which made him immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, so he didn't want to leave Chang'an at all, let alone destroy such a Chang'an.
He couldn't help but ask: "Why should my father be like this, I heard that my father has asked Shi Siming to discuss the matter of joining hands, since my father has this intention, Shi Siming thinks that he will not refuse, even if this is the case, the two armies join forces, how can they be afraid of Ye Chang?" β
"You know the! If Shi Siming were so stupid as you, Lao Tzu would have killed him many times! An Lushan sneered: "Now I have long understood that this incident was what Ye Chang expected, he was ready for a long time, this time he will wipe out me and Shi Siming, even if I don't repeat with Shi Siming, it is impossible to stop this dog thief and treacherous man!" He lured me away from Fan Yang and let us leave the lair, just to kill all the Hu people in the border army! When he attacked Gao Xianzhi at the beginning, I should have thought of it, and now you see that Ge Shuhan's fool is not having a good time in his hands! His heart is very tight, even if he lays down such an overall situation, how can he give me a chance to turn the tables, if I don't expect it badly, two days ago, Shi Siming suddenly wanted to mutiny, and behind it was Ye Chang who instigated people! β
When these words came out, An Qingxu was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
Because An Lushan has made it very clear that he is afraid of Ye Chang, he is afraid of him like a tiger!
And if An Lushan's carrying test is all true, then Ye Chang's scheming is so deep that An Lushan, who is known as a hero, can't catch up.
After this bureau was established, the reputation of rebellious and wicked people was suffered by An Lushan and Li Heng, and the reputation of the chaotic country and the remnants of the people were suffered by Li Longji and Yang Guozhong. Only he, Ye Chang, with the heroic posture of turning the tide, is strong in the hearts of the people and leaves his name in history!
An Lushan killed Li Longji's descendants to a few left, and the remnants of the few people, except for Li Heng's two sons, the rest were all lost. After Li Longji's death, who will be in this world?
But the situation is so far, even if everyone in the world can understand it, it can't be changed at all, even if the whole world has speculation, but they can't use this to blame Ye Chang!
Just as after Yu ruled the water, Shun had to settle in it, and at that time, I was afraid that some people in the Li Tang royal family couldn't wait to jump out and become the minister of the dragon.
"Yes, I will obey my father's orders!"
Realizing this, An Qingxu also broke free from his reluctance to regret Chang'an, and said in response.
If all this is Ye Chang's layout, doesn't it mean that their father and son are like stupid cows, led by Ye Chang's nose! Even so, Ye Chang didn't want to get a complete Chang'an, the jade was burned, this cause and effect should all be on Ye Chang!
An Lushan's envoy arrived at Shi Siming and told An Lushan's meaning, Shi Siming was not in a hurry to respond, but summoned Liu Luogu again.
Liu Luogu was originally the most loyal to An Lushan, and over the years, An Lushan also trusted him, and An Lushan almost never discounted the golden years he needed in Chang'an City. The original intention of him and Shi Siming was also because of the strict isolation from the inside and outside, rather than the real rebellion of An Lushan.
But things have come to this point, even if he has a hundred mouths, he can't try to justify it clearly. He can only survive if he assists Shi Siming wholeheartedly.
Therefore, after hearing Shi Siming's question, after pondering for a while, Liu Luogu said: "Shi Gong thinks that His Majesty has a certain meaning in saying this? β
"Naturally, it is full of sincerity, his and my number one enemy is always Ye Chang, the fight between us is just a battle of interests, and the fight with Ye Chang is half of life and death. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that among the three families now, Ye Chang is the strongest, and I am the weakest, and An Gong can only compete with Ye Chang a little if he joins forces with me. β
"Then why didn't Shi Gong agree?"
"I'm only worried about one thing, Ann Fat stabbed me in the back! Since he can pretend to be sick and deceive us once, won't he pretend to be weak and trick me into backing him up? Moreover, with my understanding of him, he must be preparing to leave Chang'an, and when the time comes, he will run back to Fanyang to be at ease? β
"Tongguan and Pujin have all fallen, how can they escape back to Fanyang?"
"If I had known that I had fled, who would have stayed in this place of death? An Fat Man must have an idea, he was almost cut off his head and was able to get out, this time he has soldiers and generals, how can he have a plan to get out? Therefore, I invited you here because I want you to use your connections to keep an eye on the movements of Fat An's men and see what they are planning! β
Liu Luogu smiled bitterly, he betrayed history, many of the original intelligence and personal connections are now broken, Shi Siming's request is really not very easy.
But at this point, he had no choice but to do his best
Out of Shi Siming's house, Liu Luogu did not take the carriage directly, but walked on the streets of Chang'an, letting the cold wind blow his face. He also felt that their current situation seemed to be caused by Ye Chang's intentional traction. That being the case, Ye Chang, who is now not far from Chang'an City, also expected what would happen in the city and prepared countermeasures?
Both sides are calculating, no, all three parties are calculating, but Liu Luogu has no confidence in how his own calculations can help Ye Chang.
