Chang'an City has almost become hell in these days.

After An Lushan took over the power, the Hu soldiers under his command became more and more domineering and no one could restrain them. They committed all kinds of evil deeds and evil deeds in the city of Chang'an, whether it was Jingzhao Yin, Chang'an, and Wannian County.

Not only did they pretend to be deaf and dumb, the two counties even helped the evildoers to collect the 100,000 young and strong men who An Lushan wanted in a short time. Because of insufficient service, the two counties even chose rogues as servants, searching for young and strong men from house to house every day, and if there is any obstacle, they would beat them. Some people also wanted to escape, but now the four gates of Chang'an are close, and no one can leave the city at all. Even if the wealthy family cannot withstand the pressure, they have to send huge bribes to the soldiers guarding the city gate so that they can escape at night.

An Lushan, the one who started all this, looked coldly at the more than a hundred people kneeling in front of him.

The common characteristics of the more than a hundred people kneeling in front of him are Li's surname, who are from the Tang Dynasty's royal family, and most of them are Li Heng's brothers and nephews or cousins ​​and nephews.

"King of Yan, the auspicious time has come."

Yan Zhuang arrived next to An Lushan and whispered, An Lushan nodded slowly, and then grinned.

His face was still wrapped with gauze, and with this smile, the pain on his face was so painful. The pain made him remember hatred, and hatred made him want to take revenge.

"Prepare," he ordered.

Behind every knelt Li family nephew, someone raised the knife. Seeing that the knife was about to fall, he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Cheng Yuanzhen's face was even worse than bitter gourd. He really didn't want to do this, but he had to come.

"Leave the person under the knife" Seeing the person kneeling all over the ground and the raised sword from afar, Cheng Yuanzhen was shocked and shouted.

"Cutted" An Lushan said with expressionless expression.

More than a hundred knives were chopped down, and these steel knives produced in Liaodong were extremely sharp. After the knife was taken down, more than a hundred human heads rolled at the foot of An Lushan, and the blood dyed the ground red in an instant.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuanzhen was so scared that he was so scared that he turned his horse and was about to leave, but was pulled by a soldier.

Before he could figure out what had happened, he was pulled off from his horse and brought to An Lushan.

"Come when you want to come, go when you want to go. Could it be that you regard our military discipline as if nothing is missing?" An Lushan said with a gloomy face: "Raise in the army, making loud noises, disturbing our army's sacrifices to the flag... Cheng Yuanzhen, you are so brave."

Cheng Yuanzhen was not possessed. He knew very well that because An Qingzong had not survived and died on the fifth day of the first lunar month, An Lushan's temper was very irritable during this period. Even if Li Hengjin had made him the King of Yan, he did not seem happy, but instead acted more without any scruples.

"King Yan, it's not my servant who is willing, but it's really hard to refuse the saint's order..." Hearing that An Lushan seemed to have to settle the score with him. When he saw the people on the ground covered in blood, Cheng Yuanzhen knelt down on the ground without hesitation, claiming that he had become a "slave" in his mouth, and even pushed everything to Li Heng: "Your Majesty heard that the King of Yan had captured most of the royal family, so he sent me to ask why it was because the matter was urgent... I knew my mistake, and I knew my mistake. Please spare me because I had always been obedient to the King of Yan... Liu Gong, we have been in love for many years, so you have to plead for me..."

Liu Luogu, who was following An Lushan, looked at him, but he didn't say a word and smiled bitterly in his heart.

He wanted to plead for Cheng Yuanzhen. Over the years, he managed in Chang'an and was able to take advantage of the hidden thread of the prince. However, during these days, An Lushan had a bad temper, and Liu Luogu and others were punished several times. Even Yan Zhuang, who was the most trustworthy of An Lushan, was beaten, but Liu Luogu would not dare to persuade him.

The only one who can persuade An Lushan is probably Ji Wen.

An Lushan glanced at Liu Luogu with a sideways glance. Seeing that Liu Luogu didn't dare to speak out at all, he was very satisfied. He was now moody and was thinking about killing Cheng Yuanzhen just now, but now he laughed when he changed his mind.

"Since it's the sage, it's not your fault. You're going to return your Majesty. I'm about to go to war with Ye Chang to the death, so I want to kill some rebellious sacrificial flags that are connected to the outside world. All of his relatives are thinking about rebellion and thinking about the position under his butt. Since that's the case, it's better to kill Yu Qian."

Although Cheng Yuanzhen knew that this was An Lushan's domineering act, he did not dare to say that he was a rude word. He retreated no matter how hard he was. He did not dare to get on the horse again. He led the horse for half a mile before he wiped his sweat. He tried a lot of effort to flatter him and whipped him to repay Li Heng.

An Lushan ignored him and raised his whip. He was about to give the order, but suddenly he frowned because he saw a horse rushing towards him again, just passing by Cheng Yuanzhen. An Lushan's face was filled with murderous intent, and he said sternly: "It seems that there are quite a lot of people rushing to die today..."

"King Yan, that was sent by Cui Qianyou. I think it was a report to the military information." Liu Luogu saw that the figure was vaguely recognized by the man, and after thinking about it, he said to An Lushan.

After hearing this, An Lushan calmed down his anger a little.

"King Yan, great joy, King Yan, great joy" The man jumped off his horse from afar and trotted to An Lushan to kneel down. When An Lushan heard it, he felt "very joyful" and said anxiously: "Did you defeat Ye Chang?"

He came to make him slightly stunned, then lowered his head and said, "It's not this matter, I received news from the Supreme Emperor."

"I didn't defeat Ye Chang, where did you come from?" An Lushan's expression suddenly sank: "You are lying about military affairs."

"The King of Yan, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor had an internal strife. The soldiers mutinied and killed Yang Guozhong's entire family. Moreover, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor issued an imperial edict to the whole world, and Yang Guozhong was a treacherous slander."

"Yang Guozhong is dead?" An Lushan was stunned: "Is he really dead?"

"It's indeed dead"

"What good news is this? Originally, Yang Guozhong restrained Ye Chang and let Ye Chang be restrained. Now without this guy, wouldn't Ye Chang let go of his hands and feet?" An Lushan was not happy at all. He kicked the messenger over: "This must be Ye Chang's trick. Behind the mutiny imperial guards, it must be Ye Chang... He was originally an ordinary person with me."

The messenger did not expect that he would be hit by the good news. He felt really wronged, but when he saw that An Lushan was like a madman, he did not dare to argue, and could only secretly admit that he was unlucky in his heart.

After "Yan Zhuang, Yan Zhuang" kicked over the envoy, An Lushan's anger was not gone and he shouted backwards.

Yan Zhuang walked out with a bitter face and bent down to salute: "What order does the King of Yan give?"

"Tell me, what should I do now?" An Lushan's brows almost squeezed together: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this point. I would have been given a legitimate son in vain and had to be rebellious one by one. If I can't come up with a countermeasure, I will die without a place to bury myself, but don't be happy. Before I die, I will definitely kill you first."

Hearing him say this, Yan Zhuang's heart suddenly jumped and sighed secretly.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful now. He thought that An Lushan was ambitious and a Hu person, and was easy to manipulate, so he went to invest. Over the years, he had been giving advice to An Lushan. An Lushan's ability to gain Li Longji's great trust is inseparable from the efforts of their staff and advisers.

But now it seems that An Lushan is really not a person who can share wealth and honor.

"This matter is indeed not good news." Thinking of other thoughts, Yan Zhuang said verbally as An Lushan's words: "Without Yang Guozhong's restraint, the old emperor would give Ye Chang greater power... What news is there over there?"

"After Yang Guozhong died, Wei Jiansu became prime minister, King Yong was the Grand Marshal of the World, Ye Chang, and Geshuhan were the Deputy Marshal..."

"Okay, okay, this is good news," Yan Zhuang applauded.

An Lushan stared at him with his eyes. Yan Zhuang did not dare to keep an eye on him and explained: "Although Ye Chang became the deputy marshal of the military and horses, there was Wei Jiansu, the remnant of Yang Guozhong, and Ge Shuhan next to him. He could not abduct power, so his troops would still be insufficient. Moreover, since the old emperor regarded King Yong as the marshal of the military and horses, he probably wanted to escape from afar and let King Yong stay to fight against the king. King Yong was born among women, and An was the king's opponent."

"Ye Chang, Ye Chang, Ye Chang" An Lushan roared: "Ge Shuhan is nothing, but King Yong doesn't even count as a fart, but Ye Chang, as long as he gives him military power, as long as he has half of our troops in his hand, it will be a difficult bone to crack."

"The king is wise, so he cannot give the old emperor a chance to renege. He must not give the old emperor a chance to renege. He must defeat Ye Chang before the old emperor realizes that King Yong and Ge Shuhan are not opponents of the king to put military power in his hands before Ye Chang. At least he must destroy Ye Chang's name of invincible. This time, the king is imperative to go to war. It is believed that this is also the destiny of the king, so the king is ready before this happens."

"Destiny" An Lushan sneered when he heard this word. However, Yan Zhuang's words helped him make up his mind. He turned to Ji Wen, who had been silent, and bowed: "Ji Gong is a talented man, a thousand times better than Yang Guozhong. The matter in Chang'an City depends on Ji Gong. I left behind 20,000 soldiers. If necessary, kill him, and do not follow the situation."

"I know." Ji Wen Surong returned the favor: "The king's flag is successful, and the horse is successful."

An Lushan nodded and ordered the entire army to set off.

What is now driving is actually his central army. The 100,000 young and strong men who were forced to capture by Chang'an and Wannian counties have long been driven out of Chang'an City and are heading towards Xianyang. In addition, the 50,000 central army in An Lushan's hands and a total of 150,000 troops. In An Lushan's view, there should be no problem with this force. Even if Ge Shuhan arrives in time to support Ye Chang with all his strength, he can still have an absolute advantage.

In fact, Geshuhan could not arrive in time. As long as he defeated Ye Chang first, he would not be able to take charge of the overall situation, the next thing would be easier. An Lushan could completely seize Hanzhong, cut off Geshuhan's source of food and salary, and fight a war of attrition with Geshuhan. At the same time, he sent an envoy to intermittently to Quanrong, stimulating Quanrong to attack Geshuhan. In this way, Geshuhan would be destroyed as long as three years, and as short as one year.

The key now is to defeat Ye Chang, not only for revenge, but also to open the door to Hanzhong to the west.

More than 100,000 people went to war, and naturally the momentum was huge. Not only the people in Chang'an City knew about it, but even Li Longji, who had left Mawei Post and continued to travel west, quickly received news.

"How do Ye Changdang deal with it?"

After the Mawei Incident, Li Longji let out a cry of grief. Yang Yuhuan was dragged away in front of him, tearing off the last layer of fig leaf of the Supreme Emperor. He is no longer the emperor with a rough plan, but just an old man who doesn't want to die. With this enlightenment, his attitude towards Ye Chang was different. He put most of his suspicion and defense down before, but now he only has concerns.

"A 150,000 army, known as 300,000. Ye Chang is now recruiting the men who are serving the king from all directions, and there are only 3,000 troops in his hands." Wei Jiansu sighed beside him.

He picked up a slaughter, but everyone knew that he was just a transitional candidate. He would replace him when Li Longji escaped to a safe place. The reason was that he was the party of Yang Guozhong - this was hard for him to argue. He was indeed appreciated by Yang Guozhong and was promoted repeatedly. Moreover, during the years when Yang Guozhong became prime minister, he had been left alone with the various illegal acts of the Yang family and had no struggle at all.

Even so, he hopes to do something during his short term, even if he can lose his merits only in the final liquidation.

"Yiqing's opinion, how should Ye Chang respond?"

"There is no soldiers or generals, even if there are magical weapons such as grenades, they will eventually be used up. An Ni recruited Chang'an Qingshen to fight, with the purpose of consuming Ye Gong's grenade... The plan is very poisonous, and there is really no way to do it." Wei Jiansu said dejectedly: "I am incompetent..."

"Don't talk about you, no one can do it..." Li Longji sighed: "There are no workshops to the west of Chang'an. Ye Chang couldn't bring out tens of thousands of workers like in Luoyang..."

"What if Geshuhan can arrive in time?"

"Ge Shuhan has just received the news now. He summoned the troops and was ready. It would not be possible to arrive in less than ten days."

Only after letting go can we calmly look at the problem. At this moment, Li Longji's judgment of the situation is relatively accurate.

"What should I do?" Wei Jiansu said with a worried look on his face.

If Ye Chang could not stop An Lushan, then An Lushan's Hu cavalry would come quickly next. Li Longji's plan to escape to Shu was afraid that he would cause trouble again.

"Send someone to send an order to Ye Chang, so that he... should keep himself first, and there is no need to force himself." Li Longji was silent for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "But he must not be my. Others don't listen to me to take over power, but he doesn't listen to me but save me... I'm old, old..."

Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi looked at each other next to him. Gao Lishi was fine, but Chen Xuanli's eyes were extremely gloomy.

"If I were young, I would let Ye Chang let go of his actions and see what kind of surprise he could give me... Only when I am old will I be loyal and treacherous, as for the current situation."

Li Longji murmured, with deep meaning hidden in his words. His words were all about Wei Jiansu, and Wei Jiansu was also very embarrassed. Yang Guozhong's previous lesson was not far away. At this time, how could he dare to offend Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli?

"I'll send someone to send a letter to Mr. Ye." After finding an excuse, Wei Jiansu left Li Longji's side.

But after just a moment of going out, he turned back with a happy look on his face: "The guard sent by Geshuhan has arrived. Your Majesty, I'm so happy."
