An Lushan stroked his beard and looked at the south excitedly.

Although he has long been accustomed to the climate of Yanbei, the warm Central Plains makes him even more happy, especially the prosperous Chang'an and Luoyang, if it weren't for the fact that he knew that his roots were in Youyan, he would even be willing to stay in these two cities for a long time and linger among the Huatuan Jin clan.

But this time I went to Chang'an and Luoyang, so I shouldn't be able to return to Youyan again, right?

"Good brother, I'll hand it over to you here" Looking at Shi Siming, who came to see him off, An Lushan patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Brother, just rest assured, I will guard this place for my brother, just wait for my brother's order" Shi Siming showed a meaningful smile on his face.

"The weather is cold, the ice and snow are not easy to do, and I think it will be the beginning of spring next year." An Lushan said: "I am in Chang'an City, waiting for your good news"

"I will definitely dedicate Jian'an Prefecture to my brother"

Shi Siming and An Lushan have been friends for many years, and they usually call each other brothers, but Shi Siming understands that An Lushan has no brotherly feelings, otherwise his relationship with An Sishun would not be as stiff as it is now

Seeing a hint of strangeness flashing in An Lushan's eyes, Shi Siming smiled and said: "Little brother, I am also here waiting for the good news of the doctor-when the time comes, the doctor will also have to take you brothers to the Central Plains Flower World to have a look."

"That's nature," An Lushan said proudly.

"Doctor, without further ado, the auspicious time has come, let's go," Yan solemnly urged next to him.

An Lushan nodded, yes, without further ado, it is rare for Li Longji to send an envoy with a holy decree to urge him to march into the Central Plains.

Looking back, the army had already started, and a trace of coldness flashed in An Lushan's eyes, but at this moment, he saw a horse running in the opposite direction, and after a while, he came to him.

"What?"

"Luoyang urgently, Ye Chang defeated the thieves outside Luoyang City," the man gasped.

An Lushan heard this, and his pupils shrank: "This guy is a good skill...... Where did he get the soldiers, only relying on those soft worms in Luoyang City? ”

"He called back the veterans who had returned from Anxi, Yunnan and Liaodong in recent years, and there were more than 2,000 people, and most of these veterans worked under the Andong Chamber of Commerce."

When An Lushan heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Doctor, what's so ridiculous?" Shi Siming stepped forward and asked.

"It turns out that Ye Chang has long had objections" An Lushan didn't say it, and the noble side of Ming said it first.

"Huh?"

"These veterans, he can recruit them as soon as he can, but he is secretly raising private soldiers." Gao Shang said: "Secretly raising private soldiers in Chang'an and Luoyang, if it weren't for the anti-intentions, An would dare to do so"

At this time, he exchanged glances with Yan Zhuang, and Yan Zhuang nodded slightly, suggesting that the two had thought of one thing.

"I see, that's ......," Shi Siming also suddenly realized.

An Lushan was laughing at Ye Chang, maybe these two thousand private soldiers were not against him, but in case of emergency, for example, when Li Longji had to flee from Chang'an due to Li Longji's suspicion, these two thousand private soldiers could come in handy. But the uprising of the people disrupted Ye Chang's plan, and he had to show his hidden sword. Maybe he was solving the difficulties for the Li Tang court, but in fact, in exchange, I am afraid that Li Longji was even more suspicious.

In Chang'an City, Li Longji had not fully recovered from the joy of victory, and the news of Cheng Qianli's defeat followed. After receiving an urgent report from Ye Chang in Luoyang, Li Longji's heart that he had just put down rose again.

He felt that during this time, bad news came one after another, and he simply didn't have time to breathe.

"Cheng Qianli is incapable of misleading the country" His roar still stopped in the main hall, Gao Lishi wiped his sweat and glanced at Yang Guozhong.

At the beginning, it was Yang Guozhong who advocated that Cheng Qianli be the commander and lead the Beijing Forbidden Army to Jiangnan to suppress the civil unrest. At this time, Yang Guozhong was still calm, but the beads of sweat on his forehead proved that he was panicked in his heart.

"You say, how to deal with it, you are the prime minister, tell me how to deal with it"

"At this time, we should summon the border towns into Beijing and defend the Beijing division." Yang Guozhong said: "The thieves are powerful, and now they have received news that they are raising troops to the north to meet the thieves in Henan Province." If they gather in one place, Henan will be in danger, and Guanzhong will be in danger."

"With Ye Chang in Luoyang, they can't do anything," Li Longji snorted.

"Although Ye Chang has been prepared for a long time and has hidden thousands of elite soldiers in Chang'an City, but now that these troops have been used by him, his troops are still insufficient, and the minister thinks that he should increase the number of troops for Ye Chang." Yang Guozhong said unhurriedly.

"Reinforcements?" Li Longji was taken aback, Yang Guozhong and Ye Chang were almost openly opposed, he knew this very well, and looked at Yang Guozhong suspiciously: "Didn't you say before that Ye Chang couldn't be in charge of heavy troops in the capital."

"The saint did not have a heavy army with him before, he can still hide the armor, and he can fight when he is called, even if this is the case, it is better to make him pawn the army." Yang Guozhong replied expressionlessly.

Gao Lishi almost wanted to spat this guy's face, these words seemed to be praising Ye Chang for his good command of the army, but in fact, it meant that Ye Chang harbored evil intentions

And Yang Guozhong said it very obviously, almost undisguisedly.

He glanced at it, and now in the hall, only Yang Guozhong is playing right, if it is really above the court, I am afraid that Yuan Highway will not be able to wait to jump out and quarrel with Yang Guozhong.

Li Longji snorted, Yang Guozhong's thoughts, how could he not understand that he was actually disgusted with Yang Guozhong at this time, but considering Yang Yuhuan, he could still endure it for the time being.

"Hugh wants to talk nonsense" reprimanded, Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi, and then said expressionlessly: "Go and urge An Lushan, let him hurry up." ”

Colliers's face suddenly changed, his lips moved, and he wanted to speak, but he swallowed it back.

It turned out to be for this

Yang Guozhong's words were not really Ye Chang's slander, but a reminder to Li Longji that people must be able to balance Ye Chang in military power. When Ye Chang stayed in the eastern capital, he refused to send a supervisor from the imperial court, so he had to let another general contain him

Yang Guozhong responded, and some joy flashed on his face. Gao Lishi shook his head secretly, because he was not a direct party to the conflict, but he could see more of the problem, and An Lushan's entry into the Central Plains would definitely not be a good thing.

Li Longji repelled everyone, and Gao Lishi saw that he wanted to be quiet alone, so he quietly withdrew from the main hall. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, coming from outside.

Chen Xuanli saw Gao Lishi, his expression was slightly strange, Gao Lishi had something in his heart, and he didn't put this strangeness in his heart, but just sighed and said in a low voice: "Chen Gong, the sage has summoned An Lushan in...... The safety of the court depends on you a lot. ”

Chen Xuanli also replied in a deep voice: "General Gao, don't worry. ”

How can Gao Lishi put his mind at ease, he looked at the east, Ye Chang was fighting against the swarming bandits and rebels, but there were always people in the court who pulled him back - since ancient times, I have never heard of a traitor inside and a general can make miraculous achievements outside, Ye Chang, this kid...... It's hard, too

Ye Chang didn't feel hard.

He smiled and shook his horsewhip, looking at the enemy army in front of him, quite carelessly.

"The thieves' camp fence is also decent, it seems that among the thieves, there are still people who have learned a little bit of the art of war." He said to the left and right.

Left and right laughed, although the thieves were in countless camps, and they seemed to cover the sky and the sun, with more than 100,000 people, but the people around Ye Chang regarded it as nothing. Ye Chang has a kind of infectious energy that can transmit his emotions to the people around him.

"Sure enough, as Ye Gong said, the thieves will gather the masses in order to attack Luokou, and after this battle, they will put grain to appease, and they will be able to calm down the rebellion between Dugi Province and Henan Province. At that time, Ye Gong can wave his army to the south, and fight with the main force of thieves in Huainan, if it can be broken again, the world will return to peace."

"I hope so." Ye Changdao.

It took a few days of hard work, and the thieves who had been scattered everywhere gathered again, and they all gathered outside Luokoucang City, and the number of them was 100,000 again. At this time, Ye Chang unhurriedly took five thousand people out of Luoyang to rescue, and when he got the news, Yuan Ying initially wanted to withdraw the siege and leave, and then go east. But the rebels gathered from Henan Province refused to listen to his orders, and went east to Xingyang, where the rebels had been looted and looted, and it was not profitable at all

"Look at the flag over there, it's Ye Chang"

Among the thieves, Yuan Ying looked at this side, only feeling a little stuffy in her heart. He suffered a fiasco outside Luoyang City, and finally realized the huge gap between himself and Ye Chang, so he didn't dare to compete with Ye Chang head-on. But besieging Luokoucang, five days in a row, but never an inch of advance, Ye Chang arrived with reinforcements, and his subordinates did not agree with him to withdraw the siege and escape, he now feels a little difficult to ride a tiger.

After all, it is time to interrupt and suffer from it......

After sighing secretly, Yuan Ying Huo Ran was shocked to realize that he was not frightened by Ye Chang, now it is not outside Luoyang City, he has more than 100,000 people who are not organized, and they are defeated after being broken by Ye Chang's hidden elite. Now his men are hiding behind fences and trenches, and they have always been difficult to attack, but they can't defend it?

As for the numerical advantage, Yuan Ying didn't dare to think about it.

"I have a plan to avoid this big war." He was pondering, and a person beside him was brushing his beard.

When the rebel army broke through Xingyang, although Lu Yi died unyieldingly, there were always civil servants who were afraid of death and took refuge in the rebels, and this person was one of them. Seeing him say this, Yuan Ying said with a smile: "What is the trick of Wang Gong? ”

"I followed Lu Yi and heard him say that Ye Chang and Yang Guozhong were at odds, and the two fought for the Son of Heaven not once or twice. Lu Yi once said that Ye Chang is highly skilled and knowledgeable, so he should have been a prime minister a long time ago. Yang Guozhong only used the power of the concubine to steal a high position, and he also confronted Ye Chang everywhere. If we persuade Ye Chang to clear the monarch's side, and wish to help him enter Chang'an, punish all the treacherous evil, take him as the prime minister, and Yuan Gong's brothers as the generalissimo and general, Ye Chang will definitely be moved

"What, you want my brother to assist Ye Chang here?" A person beside Yuan Ying said angrily: "This guy killed so many of our brothers outside Luoyang City, and we swore to stand with him."

The surnamed Wang laughed: "Such stupid words, don't mention it again, fight on the battlefield, either you kill him, or he kills you, when Emperor Taizong could tolerate Wei Zheng who wanted to kill him, but you couldn't tolerate a single Ye Chang, how can you achieve a great cause?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The court relies on it, only Ye Chang'er, if Ye Chang also rebels against the court, from Luoyang to Chang'an, there is no one to stop the righteous army. After attacking Chang'an and capturing the Son of Heaven, Yuan Gong and Ye Chang, who will sit in this world, then it will be "the Tao surnamed Wang."

"What if Ye Chang doesn't rebel?"

"What's the harm if you don't rebel, it's just the same as now, if you don't give it a try, how do you know what he plans

The surnamed Wang knew a lot of things related to Ye Chang from Lu Yi's mouth, and Lu Yi got the news from his son Lu Qi. Therefore, he felt that what he said was a clever plan, and he would definitely be able to turn Ye Chang from an enemy into a friendly army. And he also felt in his heart that Ye Chang was much more dominant than the Yuan family brothers, if he could really make Ye Chang rebel, then he would definitely go to Ye Chang.

Yuan Ying didn't know what he was planning in his heart, but he just felt that it didn't hurt to persuade him. But who to send to persuade is a problem, the last time to persuade Yan Zhenqing to dedicate the city failed, this time to persuade Ye Chang, if you want to come up with something, it is obviously unsuccessful.

He pondered in his heart, and looked left and right: "Protect me with a shield, and I will go to the front."

Ye Chang was watching the thief formation, and suddenly saw the group of thieves separated, several people holding shields to protect one person, cautiously came out of the formation, and stopped seventy steps away from him: "It's Ye Gongbu?" ”

Ye Chang is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and there is nothing wrong with calling him Ye Gongbu. Seeing this, Ye Chang smiled: "Unexpectedly, the thief dared to call for a battle...... I'll go and see what kind of medicine is sold in the thief's gourd."

He hurried his horse forward, but the thief immediately retreated, and he was so timid. Ye Chang smiled again, and motioned to An Yuanguang beside him: "You answer with him." ”

"Ye Gongbu is here, who is the thief, An dares to call the battle" An Yuanguang raised his voice.

Yuan Ying looked at him and was taken aback: What a strong man.

An Yuanguang has a beautiful beard, a majestic appearance, and is extraordinary, and he is a tiger general at first glance. Yuan Ying knew that he was naturally not Ye Chang, and the person in the purple robe next to him should be Ye Chang.

"Yuan Ying of a certain Taizhou, Tianbao has asked to see Ye Gong outside Ye Gongmen for 11 years, but unfortunately he was blocked by Ye Gongmen. In front of Ye Gongmen, it is difficult for heroes to enter, but there are today's things" Yuan Ying shouted loudly, he was still worried about the fact that he was driven out by Ye Changmen's people in the first place.

Ye Chang laughed again: "Back to him, there are heroes in front of me, but there are no traitors and bandits."

Hearing An Yuanguang's response, Yuan Ying was furious in his heart, but he still pressed it, and he said directly: "Ye Shangshu has made great contributions to the country, but the traitor Yang Guozhong in the DPRK and China has stolen power, so that the meritorious heroes are not rewarded, and the people are not happy. Our brothers raised a rebellion, not a rebellion, but a thief and a thief, so that a person like Ye Gong could be the prime minister, so that a rat like Yang Guozhong would stay away from the Son of Heaven. Ye Gong has always been wise, why don't you change your banner and join forces with us to go west, expel Yang Guozhong, and return the Tang Dynasty to a bright future? ”

Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Among the thieves, there are also lobbyists, but such stupid words can't move me...... Yuanguang, if you reply to him, just say that I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to destroy the thieves and quell the chaos, as long as they abandon their weapons and surrender, I will only punish the evil, and the rest can get rid of the death penalty. ”
