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

Although he had long been accustomed to the climate of Yanbei, the warm Central Plains made him even more happy, especially the prosperous Chang'an and Luoyang. If it weren't for his knowledge that his roots were in Youyan, he would have even been willing to stay in these two cities for a long time and linger among the Huatuan Jin tribe.

But this time I went to Chang'an and Luoyang, I should not return to Youyan anymore, right?

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

"Brother, don't worry, I will guard this place for my brother, just wait for my brother's orders." A meaningful smile appeared on Shi Siming's face.

"It's cold and it's hard to do it in the snow and ice. I think it's going to be the beginning of spring next year." An Lushan said: "I'm in Chang'an City, waiting for your good news."

"I will definitely be Xian and my brother in Jian'anzhou"

Shi Siming and An Lushan have had many years of friendship and often call each other brothers, but Shi Siming understands that An Lushan has no brotherhood, otherwise his relationship with An Sishun would not have become so rigid now.

Seeing a strange look flashing in An Lushan's eyes, Shi Siming smiled and said, "I'm here to wait for good news for the doctor - then, the doctor will have to take you brothers to visit the Central Plains Flower World."

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

"Doctor, it's not time to go. The auspicious time has come. Let's set off." Yan Zhuang next to him urged.

An Lushan nodded, yes, it was rare that Li Longji sent an envoy to bring an imperial edict to urge him to march into the Central Plains. Such a thing would change later, and it would not be possible if he didn't hurry up.

After looking back, the army had already started, and a cold light flashed in An Lushan's eyes. At this moment, he saw a cavalry running backwards and came to him after a while.

"What's the matter?"

"Luoyang urgently reported that Ye Chang defeated the rioters outside Luoyang City," the man gasped.

When An Lushan heard this, his pupils shrank: "This guy has a good skill... Where did he get his soldiers? Are they relying on those soft insects in Luoyang City?"

"He summoned the veterans who returned from Anxi, Yunnan and Liaodong in recent years. There were more than 2,000 people. Most of these veterans worked under the Andong Chamber of Commerce."

When An Lushan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

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

"It turns out that Ye Chang had a rebellious intention." An Lushan didn't say it, but the noble side of the Mingming said it first.

"ah?"

"He can come when he can recruit these veterans, but he secretly raises private soldiers." Gao Shang said: "In Chang'an, Luoyang secretly raises private soldiers. If he hadn't had a rebellion, how could he dare to do this?"

At this point, he exchanged glances with Yan Zhuang, and Yan Zhuang nodded slightly, implying that the two of them had thought of one place.

"So that's it..." Shi Siming also suddenly realized.

An Lushan was mocking Ye Chang. Perhaps these two thousand private soldiers did not have the intention to rebel, but were prepared for emergencies. For example, when Li Longji was suspicious and had to escape from Chang'an, these two thousand private soldiers could come in handy. However, the uprising of the people disrupted Ye Chang's plan, and he had to light up his hidden sword. Perhaps he was solving the difficulties for the Li Tang court, but in fact, it was probably Li Longji's greater suspicion.

In Chang'an City, before Li Longji fully recovered from the joy of victory, news of Cheng Qianli's defeat followed one after another. After receiving an urgent report from Ye Chang in Luoyang, Li Longji's heart had just been relieved and raised again.

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

"Cheng Qianli is incompetent to ruin the country." His roar stopped in the hall. Gao Lishi wiped his sweat and glanced at Yang Guozhong.

The one who advocated that Cheng Qianli was the commander and took the imperial guards in the capital to Jiangnan to suppress the civil unrest was Yang Guozhong. At this time, Yang Guozhong was still calm, but the sweat beads on his forehead proved his inner fear and anxiety.

"You said, how to deal with it, you are the prime minister, and you are the one who talks about it."

"At this time, we should summon border towns to the capital to defend the capital." Yang Guozhong said: "The thieves are in great power. Now we have received news that they are raising troops north to meet with the thieves from Henan Road. If they gather together, Henan will be in danger and Guanzhong will be in danger."

"With Ye Chang in Luoyang, they won't be able to do anything," Li Longji snorted.

"Although Ye Chang was prepared for a long time and had several thousand elite soldiers hidden in Chang'an City, these troops have been used by him now, and his troops are still insufficient. I think he should increase his troops for Ye Chang." Yang Guozhong said calmly.

"Increase troops?" Li Longji was surprised. Yang Guozhong and Ye Chang almost turned against each other publicly. He knew this very well and looked at Yang Guozhong suspiciously: "Didn't you say before that Ye Chang should not be in charge of heavy troops in the capital?

"Before, the saint had not had a heavy army with him, he could still hide his armored soldiers. He could fight when he was summoned. That's the case, it would be better to give him the military power." Yang Guozhong replied expressionlessly.

Gao Lishi almost wanted to spit on this guy's face. His words seemed to praise Ye Chang for his good control of his troops, but in fact they mean that Ye Chang was hiding his misfortune.

Moreover, Yang Guozhong said it very clearly, almost without any concealment.

He glanced at him and now, only Yang Guozhong was reporting in the hall. If it was a real court meeting, I was afraid that Yuan Highway would be eager to jump out and argue with Yang Guozhong.

Li Longji snorted. How could he not understand how Yang Guozhong was thinking about this? He was also disgusted with Yang Guozhong at this moment, but considering that Yang Yuhuan could still endure it for the time being.

"Don't talk nonsense" rebuked, Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi, then said expressionlessly: "Go and urge An Lushan to make him faster."

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

It turns out to be for this

Yang Guozhong's words did not really promote Ye Chang's slander, but reminded Li Longji that people must check and balance Ye Chang in terms of military power. When Ye Chang was left behind for the Eastern Capital, he refused to send military supervisors in the court, so he had to let another general restrain him.

Yang Guozhong responded, and a happier look flashed across his face. Gao Lishi shook his head secretly. Because he was not the direct person involved in the conflict, he could see more about the problem. An Lushan's entry into the Central Plains would definitely not be a good thing.

Li Longji repelled everyone. Seeing that he wanted to be alone and quiet, Gao Lishi quietly withdrew from the hall. When he arrived in front of the hall, he saw General Chen Xuanli, the Longwu General, coming from outside.

Chen Xuanli looked a little strange when he saw Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi had something in his heart, but he did not take this strange thing in his heart. He just sighed and whispered: "Mr. Chen, the saint summoned An Lushan into the house... The safety of the court must rely more on you."

Chen Xuanli also replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, General Gao."

How could Gao Lishi feel relieved? He looked at the east side, and Ye Chang was fighting the thieves and rioters who were swarming, but there were always people in the court holding him back. Since ancient times, there has never been a person who has been able to make great achievements outside. Ye Chang... It's hard to do so

Ye Chang didn't feel it was hard.

He smiled and shook the whip, looking at the enemy in front of him, quite careless.

"The thief is still very well-deserved. It seems that some of the thief's leaders have learned some military tactics." He said to the left and right.

The left and right laughed. Although the thieves were in numerous camps, they looked like they covered the sky and the sun, and there were more than 100,000 people, the people around Ye Chang regarded them as nothing. Ye Chang had a kind of infectious power that could convey his emotions to the people around him.

"As Mr. Ye said, in order to attack Luokou, the thieves must gather the masses. After this battle, they will release food and comfort them. I think the rebellion between Duji and Henan Province will be quelled. At that time, Mr. Ye can lead his troops south and fight with the main force of the thieves in Huainan. If he can defeat it again, the world will return to peace."

"I hope so." Ye Chang said.

After a few days, the thieves who were originally scattered everywhere gathered again and gathered outside Luokoucang City, with a population of 100,000 again. At this time, Ye Chang slowly brought 5,000 people out of Luoyang to rescue him. After receiving the news, Yuan Ying initially wanted to withdraw the circumference and go east. However, the rioters gathered from Henan Road refused to obey his orders. Going eastward was Xingyang again, which was robbed by the rioters and had no profit at all. How could it be to seize Luokoucang? There were millions of stones of white rice waiting for them to eat.

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

Among the thieves, Yuan Ying looked here and felt a little depressed. He suffered a crushing defeat outside Luoyang City and finally realized the huge gap between him and Ye Chang. He did not dare to compete with Ye Chang head-on. However, he besieged Luokou Cang and attacked for five consecutive days, but he still did not gain any progress. Ye Chang arrived with reinforcements, and his subordinates disagreed with him to retreat and flee far away. He now felt that it was a bit difficult to get off the road.

After all, I should be constantly interrupted and be burdened...

After sighing inwardly, Yuan Ying suddenly realized that he was scared by Ye Chang? Now it is not outside Luoyang City. He has more than 100,000 people who are not organized. He was broken by Ye Chang's hidden elites and was defeated. Now his subordinates are hiding behind the fence and trenches. It is always difficult to attack and defend, but can they defend?

As for the advantage in numbers, Yuan Ying dared not think about it.

"I have a plan to avoid this big battle." He was thinking, and someone beside him stroked his beard.

When the rioters captured Xingyang, although Lu Yi died unyieldingly, there were always civil officials who were afraid of death and surrendered to the rioters. This person was one of them. Seeing him say this, Yuan Ying said with a smile: "What kind of tricks does Mr. Wang have?"

"I followed Lu Yi, and I heard from him that Ye Chang and Yang Guozhong were incompatible, and the two fought in front of the emperor for a long time. Lu Yi once said that Ye Chang was very good, knowledgeable and talented, and should have been prime minister long ago. Yang Guozhong just took advantage of the power of the imperial concubine to secretly occupy a high position and still confront Ye Chang in a tit-for-tat way. If we advise Ye Chang to clear the king, we would assist him in the fight to Chang'an and kill all the evil spirits, and regard him as prime minister, and the brothers Yuan Gong were the great marshals and generals, Ye Chang would definitely be moved.

"What, do you want my brother to assist Ye Chang?" A man next to Yuan Ying said angrily: "This guy killed so many of our brothers outside Luoyang City, and we are irreconcilable with him."

The man surnamed Wang smiled and said, "Don't mention such stupid words again. Fighting in the battle formation is either you kill him or he kills you. When Emperor Taizong could tolerate Wei Zheng, who wanted to kill him, you could not tolerate Ye Chang. How could you achieve great achievements?"

"did you mean?"

"Only Ye Chang's reliance on the court is Ye Chang'er. If Ye Chang also rebels from Luoyang to Chang'an, no one can stop the rebel army. After attacking Chang'an and capturing the emperor, who will come to the world, then I will talk about it," said Wang, the surname of Wang.

"What if Ye Chang doesn't rebel?"

"What's the harm in not betraying? It's just like today. If you don't try it, how can you know how he plans

The Wang surnamed Wang knew a lot about Ye Chang from Lu Yi, and Lu Yi got the news from his son Lu Qi. Therefore, he realized that what he said was a clever plan and could definitely call Ye Chang from an enemy to a friendly army. And he also felt in his heart that Ye Chang was much more like a master than the Yuan brothers. If Ye Chang could really betray Ye Chang, then he would definitely go to Ye Chang.

Yuan Ying didn't know what he was planning, but he just felt that it would be okay to persuade him. But who to persuade him was a problem. The last time he persuaded Yan Zhenqing to Xiancheng was unable to succeed. This time he persuaded Ye Chang to rebel, it was obviously not possible.

He thought about it and looked around: "Protect me with a shield, I'll go ahead."

Ye Chang was watching the thief formation when he suddenly saw the thief group separated. Several people held shields to protect one person and came out carefully. He stopped at seventy steps away from him: "Is the person who came Ye Gong's Department?"

Ye Chang was the Minister of Works, and there was nothing wrong with calling him Ye Gongshen. Seeing this, Ye Chang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the thief actually dared to call... I'll go see what medicine is sold in the thief's gourd."

He urged him to step forward, but the thief immediately retreated, as if he was so timid. Ye Chang smiled again and signaled An Yuanguang beside him and said, "You answer with him."

"Ye Gongmen is here, who is the thief? How dare you call in the battle?" An Yuanguang said loudly.

Yuan Ying looked at him and was surprised: What a hero.

An Yuanguang has a beautiful beard and a majestic appearance, which is extraordinary. He is obviously a general of the tiger. Yuan Ying knew that he was naturally not Ye Chang, and the one next to him in a purple robe should be Ye Chang.

"After a Taizhou Yuan Ying, Tianbao, once asked to see Ye Gong outside the eleventh year of the sect, but unfortunately, he was blocked by his disciples. In front of the sect, it was difficult for heroes to enter, so what happened today is today." Yuan Ying shouted loudly, and he was still worried about the fact that he was driven out by Ye Chang's disciples.

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

After hearing An Yuanguang's response, Yuan Ying was angry, but he still suppressed it. He said directly: "Shangshu Ye has made great contributions to the country, but the traitor Yang Guozhong in the court has stolen power, so that the meritorious officials will not be rewarded, and the people will live in poverty. Our brothers raised uprising troops, not to rebel, but to kill the traitors and clear the king's side, so that such a capable and upright person can be prime ministers, so that Yang Guozhong, a rat, chicken and dog, and keep away from the emperor. Ye Gong has always been wise, why didn't he change his banner and work with us to go westward, expel Yang Guozhong, and give the Tang Dynasty a bright world?"
