In the ancient battlefield, An Lushan did not care after the defeat, but was more determined to win Yanmen Pass, the camp of the Wolf Tooth Army, An Lushan looked at his subordinates, and said: "Now that there are so many reinforcements in Yanmen Pass, plus they have been guarding without fighting, if they really get grain and grass, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to us." It is said that Feng Yebei has left Yanmen Pass to borrow and collect grain, and Li Fu has also arrived at Yanmen Pass, it seems that he is going to drag us down. ”

"Indeed, if the Xuanjia Army has been closed and defended, it will be difficult for us to break through the Yanmen Pass, and this is still when they have no reinforcements, if it weren't for the Central Plains Shence Army targeting the Tiance Mansion, I'm afraid we wouldn't even get the current results. The Divine Army... Yes, the king, if you can convince Yang Guozhong to let his Shence army come to attack Yanmen Pass... Once the abdomen and back are attacked by the enemy, the Yanmen Pass will not be able to be defended. ”

Listening to Xu's words, An Lushan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, Yang Guozhong is not a fool, his purpose is also the highest position in the Tang Dynasty, how can he help us?" ”

"It's man-made, we can start with Gao Lishi, as long as we can convince Gao Lishi, I think he must have a way to persuade Yang Guozhong, although this person is cunning, but he lacks courage. Otherwise, why did Li Longji flee Chang'an for so long, and he didn't dare to take that step? It was because he was afraid that someone would disagree that it would be difficult for him to stabilize his foundation. ”

"So we only need to promise him that after breaking the Yanmen Pass, we will only take Luoyang and Chang'an to him, I think he will definitely agree, after all, if it is only him, he will not dare to take Chang'an as emperor." Xu asked, which made An Lushan's eyes light up, indeed, even if he broke through the Yanmen Pass, it would be impossible to obtain the entire Central Plains, and Luoyang City was now in his hands, so he could not only persuade Yang Guozhong, but also lay the foundation for his future southward. Because once Yang Guozhong really proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an City, then the entire Central Plains will definitely focus on Yang Guozhong, and he will have more time to prepare.

At that moment, An Lushan immediately repaired the book, preparing for An Qingxu to personally persuade Gao Lishi that if he could succeed, no matter whether Yanmen Pass could find grain and grass or not, it would be impossible to hold it at that time. On the other side, in the direction of Taiyuan City, Li Guangbi has prepared 150,000 stone grain and grass, and asked the Taiyuan defenders to send it to Yanmen Pass, and it will only take two days at most to pass from Taiyuan City, so the rest depends on whether Feng Yebei can find grain and grass again.

And now Fengye North, has arrived in Pingding Village in Fenghua Valley, and the group is resting in the inn of Pingding Village, at this time, they happen to meet people from the Cardinal Sect who come to collect rent. In the entire Fenghua Valley, whether it is Pingding Village or Wuyanggang, or other places, they are all protected by the Cardinals, and they have to pay rent to the Cardinals every seven days, otherwise they will be harassed by the Cardinals, since the Redcoats and the Twelve Links have been united, their power has become even greater, and the most important thing is that no one cares about them.

When the innkeeper saw the red-clothed sect coming over, he handed over the money prepared in advance to the other party, and the man shook the copper plate in his hand and said, "It's a little less, but there are not many people who come and go with you, it's cheap for you, do you have good wine and good food, prepare a table." As soon as Feng Yebei heard this, he knew the current situation, and then walked up to the three red-clothed women and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Datang has a clear law that no one is allowed to collect protection money privately, so no matter who you are, please return the money to the shopkeeper."

At this time, one of them stood up and said, "Yo, where did this little white face meddle around, hey?" It turned out that he was still a blind man, but it's a pity, forget it, my sister doesn't care about you for the sake of being a blind man, so get out. ”

Feng Yebei shook his head: "This is the territory of Datang, no matter who it is, you should abide by the laws of Datang, I will say it again, return the money to the shopkeeper, otherwise, you will not blame me for being polite." ”

Seeing Feng Yebei like this, the other party suddenly pulled out his sword and wanted to attack him, however, in the next moment, all three of them were pressed on the table, and they didn't even need Feng Yebei to make a move. The guards took the copper plate off the man's hand and handed it to Feng Yebei, who returned it to the innkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, please rest assured, we won't care about this kind of thing, if they dare to come in the future, you can go to report to the official." ”

"Guest officer, please take a step to speak, you don't know, the defenders of this Fenghua Valley, in addition to the Haoqi Alliance and the Valley of the Wicked, only have the Divine Ce Army, but this is where the stronghold of the Cardinal Sect is located. The Haoqi Alliance and the Valley of the Wicked Don't dare to provoke the Cardinal Sect here, and the Shence Army is even more embarrassed to collude with them, so ordinary people like us can only be bullied. The guest officers should leave this matter alone, give them money, at least to ensure that we can live, and we have the right not to do business for a day. ”

Feng Yebei frowned and said, "In this way, wouldn't you have wasted four days in a month?" Fenghua Valley is considered to be at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it should have been under the control of Chang'an City, why is there such a situation? ”

"Alas, don't mention it, since the emperor fled, Fenghua Valley has become more and more chaotic day by day, where will anyone care about our life or death? So in this matter, I hope that the guest officer will turn a blind eye, so as to leave us a way to live. ”

Feng Yebei sighed helplessly, he also knew that if he took care of this matter, it was likely that the shopkeeper would have more trouble, the so-called strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, and now he really couldn't reach that far. In desperation, Feng Yebei had no choice but to return the money to the shopkeeper, and then let the shopkeeper hand it over to the people of the Cardinal Sect, and then Feng Yebei left Pingding Village, but this matter did not end so simply, because the three of them sent a signal from the Cardinal Sect.

Soon, there were many people from the Red-clothed Sect who surrounded Feng Yebei and his party, led by the Peony of the Red-clothed Sect, and when he saw Feng Yebei, Peony said in surprise: "Isn't this the Xuanjia Army Division, Mr. Feng Yebei, yo, what's wrong with these eyes?" ”

"Huh? Listen to this voice, are you a peony? What, you're trying to get in my way? ”

Peony hurriedly smiled: "How dare you, but I'm just curious, how did the dignified Xuanjia Army military advisor become like this, and appeared in Fenghua Valley at this time, is there anything important?" ”

"What do we do, it's not your turn to take care of it, and besides, Datang has a clear law, and no one is allowed to collect protection money privately, not to mention that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, could it be that you ignore the law of Datang?"

"Don't dare, don't dare! Didn't you hear? The military advisor said that he must not collect protection money privately, and he will not return it? The three disciples looked at each other, and hurriedly returned the money to the innkeeper, and then Peony continued: "Since you have arrived in Fenghua Valley, then our Cardinal Sect must do our best to be a landlord, if the sect leader knows, we will be very happy, military advisor, please." ”

Feng Yebei was naturally not afraid of the other party's tricks, so he followed the peony and went to the Dihua Palace.
