There is more than one bad news.

After discovering that he was being teased by Ye Chang's suspicious military plan, Cui Ganyou's more than 10,000 troops rushed over again. They also entered Qizhou, only one day away from Li Longji. The scouts' van had already appeared more than twenty miles away from Li Longji's car.

Then, before An Lushan's army was dispatched, it also came that he slaughtered all the royal families close to Li Longji in Chang'an City. Among Li Longji's descendants, except for the better relationship with Prince Li Heng, they were almost killed.

After Ye Chang learned about this news, he discussed it with Gao Lishi and others, and it made people hide it from Li Longji. After all, Li Longji is old, who knows if he can withstand such a blow

"Mr. Ye, the Lord uploads you to see you."

Although Ye Chang met with Li Longji, he spent more time with his soldiers than with Li Longji. This kind of thing was done by Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli. Therefore, when Li Longji wanted to talk to him, he would send someone to invite him. Moreover, the people sent now are Gao Lishi. It is not only more reliable to invite him, but also more demonstrates Li Longji's emphasis on Ye Chang.

Gao Lishi knew his position very well. When he saw Ye Chang at this moment, he was more respectful than when he was facing Li Linfu back then.

"Mr. Gao, I wonder what's wrong?" Ye Chang's attitude towards Gao Lishi was as always, and he was not slighted.

"I don't know that after getting up this morning, His Majesty has been in a daze. He ignored anyone who talked to him and refused to eat. He suddenly wanted to call you..."

Ye Chang was stunned when he heard this. Why did Li Longji look like this at this time? When the news of King Yong's death came yesterday, he just fainted for a while and then woke up.

When he came to Li Longji, Ye Chang was shocked. Li Longji looked ten years older than yesterday.

Although he was over 70 years old, he was well maintained and seemed to be in his fifties and sixties before, but now he looked like he was going to be in his eighties.

Princess Yuzhen was with him, but at this time, this very happy Yumei was just wiping her tears.

"Ye Qing is here... let's sit down."

Seeing Ye Chang coming, Li Longji's eyes showed some spirit.

"Your Majesty summoned me, I wonder what instructions did you give?" Ye Chang said.

"Others want to be around me all day long. When Li Linfu was there, he would come to pay a visit every day. Yang Guozhong even revolved around me more than he did in handling government affairs..." Li Longji murmured: "Only you don't like to be by my side to flatter you. Even when you go to the border of the Essential Realm, you are better than being by my side.

"The minister is idle and has too many etiquettes around the saints, and is too restrictive in his actions, so he does not realize his freedom." Ye Chang said with a smile.

"No, no, you are really responsible for your duties. Others just regard flattery as the top priority." Li Longji looked at Ye Chang: "I intend to stop Wei Jiansu and accept you as prime minister. What do you think?"

Princess Yuzhen, Gao Lishi and others next to him were not surprised. In fact, not to mention being the prime minister, even if you are the king, Ye Chang deserves his contribution now. Moreover, after being the prime minister, Ye Chang was in charge of military affairs and had no restraint, and it was easier to defeat An Lushan.

No one can refuse such an invitation. Don’t you see, Wei Jiansu, a temporary prime minister, should be very interesting

However, what Ye Chang said surprised them.

"The new changes in the country's dynasty, and Yang Guozhong was forced to be executed. Since Wei Gong became prime minister, there has been no major mistake. People are at ease and military affairs are stable. The saints value it. I am very grateful, but I think this is not the time."

"Sure... It turns out..." Li Longji smiled bitterly: "I have never understood you. You are an alien. Your ambitions, not to mention generals and ministers, even emperors, don't care about them."

Ye Chang did not answer, but he agreed deeply.

He had more than 1,200 years of experience at this time, and naturally knew that when the imperial power finally declined, the Emperor Yingwu was like Qin Emperor and Han Wu himself, and was just a short passage in the historical books of later generations. What they really left behind was their achievements.

If he could make the achievements of leaving a name in history, even if he was not an emperor, so what? As he himself said, China values ​​the Taoist tradition, and Taoist tradition is beneficial to the people. What he remembers in later generations will always be him, and he will not be the emperor of his era.

"The royal family in Chang'an City, An Thief and the Rebellious Son have been almost killed, right?" Li Longji said again.

Ye Chang was thinking about what Li Longji had just said, and when he heard this question, he unconsciously responded: "Yes..."

He realized that he was wrong after just saying one word

He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Li Longji, but found that Li Longji looked calm, as if he was just saying something insignificant.

"It's not that I'm ruthless... Of course, the Tian family was originally ruthless, otherwise why would such a rebellious son appear? When I escaped from Chang'an, I already knew that such a thing was inevitable. How could that rebellious son keep his brothers and uncles still there? As long as one brother is still there, his throne will be unjust... I originally thought that after King Yong and I came out, he would have some concerns about his actions, but he would never kill him... But I never thought that he was even more crazy than I expected... Those were his brothers."

Although he was mentally prepared, when he actually said that, Li Longji was still crying and his voice was sobbing. Although Ye Chang was sympathetic, he felt that this was Li Longji's own consequences. If he hadn't been suspicious of the former prince in his early years and later in love with him, how could this happen?

If a young man like Li Longji ascended the throne as emperor, thirty years of emperor is enough, so why should he delay it for so long

"Your Majesty, I think this may not be what Li Heng did, but it is more like An Lushan's method." Ye Chang said after Li Longji was slightly calmer: "Only An Lushan, who is cruel by nature and disrespects the lives of heaven, earth, and life. I think... Now in Chang'an City, An Thief and Ni Heng may not be a solid piece."

"You mean?"

"An Lushan's wolfish ambitions, Your Majesty can't say that he is not bad, but he still betrays him. If Ni Heng meets him well, where can he go? At the beginning, An Lushan wanted to use Ni Heng's name to be able to tolerate him, but if Ni Heng thought he could really take over the power of the emperor in the world, it would be the time when the two turned against each other."

"With Ye Qing here, the only way for them to join forces is to beat Ye Qing, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to turn against him."

"I only have a few troops. Now An Lushan has definitely controlled Tongguan. I don't care about the more than 20,000 soldiers I left in Luoyang. Moreover, Shi Siming will also meet with An Lushan from north to south. An Lushan forced 100,000 people in the capital... The imperial guards mutiny and killed Yang Guozhong... These things can make An Lushan expand. Gao Shang and Yan Zhuang, the two men who are dependent on An Lushan, are Gao Shang and a little steady, ambushed and bombed to death for their ministers. Yan Zhuang is impatient and ambitious, and will instigate An Lushan to do evil things."

Li Longji heard this and felt both heartbroken and happy: "I don't know if he regrets it when he arrives."

Ye Chang secretly complained in his heart that Li Heng certainly led the wolf into the house, but he raised a wild dog with no ability to harm into a vicious wolf. Isn’t it your Majesty, you? Do you regret it now?

"If I weren't afraid that the people would suffer further, I would like to let them kill each other first and watch a lively trick." Ye Chang said; "It's just that the people are so bad that I am willing to fight An Ni due to this war. The victory or defeat will be determined in one battle. The war will be concluded earlier, and the war will be ended earlier and the emperor will return to the capital as soon as possible."

"You have no soldiers, although Ge Shuhan has soldiers, it is not enough to trust..." Li Longji sighed.

"I have troops." Ye Chang said.

"What?" Li Longji was stunned: "Where did the soldiers come from?"

"I may be the workers in the workshop, so I may naturally recruit road construction workers to serve as soldiers." Ye Chang smiled faintly: "In these few days, my army will gather, first destroy Cui Ganyou, and then capture An Lushan."

"Roadbuilder" Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "You mean... a road construction worker?"

"That is, over the years, I have been busy building roads. There are nearly 300,000 road construction workers scattered all over the place, of which about 120,000 are built by Longyou Tracks." Ye Chang said slowly: "These 120,000 people took the Tracks and trained rapidly at night to Qizhou to meet with me."

"So you're prepared"

"I never fight unprepared wars."

Ye Chang's words showed great confidence, but Li Longji deeply agreed.

If someone could fly in the air and look down at the Longyou area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, he would see hundreds of rut trains running on their own rut trains. In addition to the main road designed and built by Ye Chang himself, the powerful and wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty also tried every means to build dozens of rut branches on the Guanlong land. Ye Chang generously provided technical support to these rut trains, but also unified the standards of rut trains. With these rut trains transported day and night, 100,000 road construction workers quickly obtained weapons from local arsenals, and met in Longzhou like streams gathering into rivers.

"Since that's the case, I'll wait for your good news..." Li Longji felt mixed emotions in his heart when he heard this and barely spoke.

"I think it's not far away. Yesterday, I borrowed An Yuanguang from Your Majesty and others for this." Ye Chang said.

After he destroyed Pei Mian's conspiracy yesterday, he reported to Li Longji and asked him to assign young imperial guards such as An Yuanguang. Li Longji would not refuse. However, Li Longji only thought that Ye Chang was sending these people to recruit soldiers. After sending these people out, Ye Chang took the opportunity to use his confidants as imperial guards to facilitate control of the imperial guards. Now it seems that Ye Chang clearly handed over the power of the military to the court.

Although Li Longji was much wiser than before, his thinking style of the emperor was somewhat solidified for many years. Therefore, he thought that the imperial guards would put him first, but he never thought that after so many things, his prestige in the army had been greatly reduced, especially the Mawei Slope Incident and the Yang clan destruction, and these imperial guards were more or less involved. How could they not worry about his liquidation afterwards?

After Ye Chang's strong intervention, Chen Xuanli obviously could not protect these imperial guards. Even Chen Xuanli himself had to act according to Ye Chang's eyes. When these imperial guards were drawn out, most of them expressed their loyalty to Ye Chang privately.

"Ye Chang, this thief, escaped quickly."

Cui Ganyou rode on the horse, looking at the continuous tracks, and felt helpless.

He was frightened by Ye Chang's grenades, and he only dared to stare at Ye Chang, but did not dare to attack head-on. When he arrived in Zheng County, he found that Ye Chang was no longer retreating, so he confronted Ye Chang from afar. As a result, Ye Chang bluffed and took the night on the rut train, retreated dozens of miles overnight, and threw him an empty camp. At this time, the news of An Lushan's army advancing in Chang'an City also arrived. Cui Ganyou knew that he could no longer be perfunctory, and even if he did it, he had to be more eloquent. He immediately reported to An Lushan for a great victory, cut down some people's heads as military achievements, and on the other hand, he rushed to advance westward and continued to pursue.

However, Ye Chang took all the rut trains along the way, and those who really couldn't take them were burned by a fire. Therefore, Cui Ganyou could only look at the rut trains, but he could not use this to transport his troops.

"What if he doesn't escape? Now he finally got the news that the grenades in his hand can be at most for him to fight two more battles. When he learned that An Gong was conscripting Chang'an's young and strong man, he should know that the grenades could not scare people... Not to mention An Gong's army, it was us. If we really fight and drive away the people to consume his grenades." Cui Ganyou said indifferently.

They had the courage to pursue him with all their might, but they were inspired by An Lushan and prepared to use the people to consume Ye Chang's firearms.

"Is Taiheguan ahead?"

"Yes, the news said that Ye Chang was in Taihe Pass, and the old emperor retreated to Yong County, less than fifty miles from Taihe Pass."

"I think this city is not very difficult to attack." Cui Ganyou pondered the terrain for a while, and then smiled and said, "Ye Chang is too stupid to defend this city. With his usual actions, he must hide his tricks."

"This Taiheguan was originally mainly to guard Chang'an and guard against the west. When we came from the east, he naturally lacked the defense. In his humble opinion, Ye Chang dared to defend Taiheguan, so reinforcements should have arrived."

"Ge Shuhan's reinforcements? Unfortunately, Pei Mian failed to do it. If Pei Mian succeeded, I think Ye Chang would have become a prisoner under my rank."

While talking to his subordinates, Cui Ganyou ordered the launch of the troops. As An Lushan's most trusted general, his subordinates had more than 15,000 people. Even Ye Chang and Pei Mian's troops were only one-third of his subordinates.

What's more, he did not launch an attack as soon as he arrived at Taiheguan, but first divided his troops to plunder and captured thousands of people from the Zuo. Now these thousands of people are tied one by one by one by one by one by one and driven in front of his troops. These people are holding swords and guns in their hands, crying one by one, but they dare not attack the rebels because they have been killed.

Behind them, Cui Ganyou's subordinates were pointing their swords, guns, arrows and crossbows, and just waited for Cui Ganyou to give orders to force them forward.

"The people in this pass are a little different from Jingji. In Jingji, no one dares to resist. There are many people here to kill them to be obedient." Cui Ganyou thought for a moment, and when he saw that the time had arrived, he raised a small flag and ordered: "Start attack the city."

On the city wall, Ye Chang saw the people crying and being rushed forward, and couldn't help but shake his head: "You can't wait anymore. If you wait any longer, the people will suffer heavy casualties."

"I am afraid that I will not be able to completely wipe out Cui Ganyou."
