"I'm really a big courage, a big courage"

An Lushan's roar could be heard even after more than ten camps. Yan Zhuang shrank his neck, not knowing whether he should be glad that he was not by An Lushan's side at that time or that he should be in pain, so he wanted to see him.

This time, 100,000 people were recruited. Although An Lushan wanted to use them to consume Ye Chang's strength, he could not let them die before he arrived at the battlefield. So they still issued a tent, but in the cold wind of the first month, their tents were really nothing, so they were trembling.

They looked at Yan Zhuang with hatred. Although they tried hard to hide this hatred, Yan Zhuang could always detect it inadvertently.

"If these mobs really fight, most of them will be in a fight. This battle... might be a battle of Makino."

Yan Zhuang was worried, but he didn't dare to say these words to An Lushan. In the current situation, not to mention saying something against him in front of An Lushan, it would be safe to flatter him. It is light to say that moodiness is light, Yan Zhuang even felt that the lord he served might be a little crazy.

But even if you are crazy... you have to hold on...

"Mr. Yan, Minister Yan, the king is calling you, go quickly."

"well……"

Yan Zhuang stepped up a few steps, but he was even more worried. In the past, he wanted An Lushan to value it, but now, he hoped that he would be ignored by An Lushan.

As he expected, he was only after being beaten by the angry An Lushan. After An Lushan beat him, he seemed to have let out a sigh and went back to the camp to rest. Yan Zhuang turned and was about to leave, but saw Li Zhuer walking over.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Zhu'er, what's going on? The situation of the king recently is really wrong..."

In the past, Yan Zhuang would never talk to Li Zhuer like this, but now he has to do so. As An Lushan’s most trusted servant, Li Zhuer is probably the one who knows the changes of An Lushan the most.

"There is something wrong with the king's body." Li Zhu'er looked around and lowered her voice: "The king's body is fat. It has been difficult for even riding a horse in the past two years. Don't mention leading troops to fight. Last time in Ye Chang's house, he was blown down by the flour magic technique. In addition to being injured on his face, he was also quite uncomfortable and had a bad sore on his back..."

"What?" Yan Zhuang was shocked when he heard this: "Why have you never heard the king mention it?"

"The king is not allowed to mention it. He has cut off so many imperial doctors, not just for the Lord... and there is another thing..."

Li Zhuer was a little hesitant, Yan Zhuang was anxious and said sternly: "It's all this. I don't know whether you and I will have life tomorrow. What are you hiding? Say, if you say it, you may have room for recovery. If you don't say it, then we will lose our heads without waiting for Ye Chang to come."

Li Zhu'er gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "The king is now a little troubled to see things. Maybe it's because of his injury. He can't see clearly. Others don't know about this, but only villains know about it."

Yan Zhuang's heart was shocked: No wonder

The pain of losing a child, the trap of abusive sores, the worry of blindness... So many things are mixed together, no wonder An Lushan becomes irritable and capricious.

Moreover, these symptoms also made Yan Zhuang even more worried: if the news spread, the hearts of the military generals, who had already fallen apart, would be disintegrated immediately.

Cui Ganyou was defeated but did not return, Zhang Zhongzhi left but did not return - the two things happened, like opening the gate and opening the water, which made An Lushan's subordinates feel agitation, and An Lushan's increasingly bad temper add fuel to the fire. In the past few days, An Lushan has killed several generals on the pretext of the situation. Seeing Ye Chang's army approaching, a decisive battle between the two sides will take place within these three days, and some agitation of An Lushan's subordinates is even more obvious.

Even Yan Zhuang himself saw some officials loyal to Li Longji in and out of the tents of An Lushan's generals. It is obvious that these people are doing. He had also considered reporting and exposing these generals, but when he thought of An Lushan's current temper, he was afraid that he would immediately order murder. With such a killing, before Ye Chang came to attack, An Lushan's subordinates would lose half of them.

What's more, there is not anyone in Yan Zhuang's tent to test it.

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in Guandu, there were many messengers in the subordinates of both sides. This was normal... Yan Zhuang could only comfort himself in this way.

If there is a way out, Yan Zhuang would also want to make another plan, but he knew very well that as An Lushan's plotter, he was one of the culprits, and he was a literati. Li Longji and Ye Chang might be able to tolerate those rude and barbaric generals, but he would definitely not tolerate conspirators like him.

"You are so happy to take care of the king. Let me tell me quickly." After thinking for a while, Yan Zhuang couldn't think of a better solution, so he could only say: "In three days, you will have to fight Ye Chang, and everything will be discussed after this battle."

"In this situation, Mr. Yan, you also tell the truth to the villain. Can we win?"

Li Zhu'er's words made Yan Zhuang speechless. At this moment, no one except An Lushan would think they could win.

"If you can't win, Mr. Yan must make the rest of your plans early..."

Yan Zhuang lowered his head and thought hard. What other plans could he make? What strategies could he have to change the current situation?

According to his intention, he was to retreat to Chang'an, or even Luoyang, control the natural danger of Tongguan, and confront Ye Chang. Even in the long run, this confrontation was still unfavorable to An Lushan, but it was better than the current dangerous situation.

If we can confront Ye Chang in the east and west, take the opportunity to annex Liaodong, and control Ye Chang's economic lifeline, then there may be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But An Lushan would not agree. He came out of Chang'an to fight Ye Chang. He had even considered that all Geshuhan's main forces were joined by Ye Chang's subordinates, so he used an army of more than 100,000 people. However, he never thought that Ye Chang made a fuss out of nothing and created more than 100,000 troops. Moreover, after Geshuhan learned that the forward Pei Mian he sent was actually a secret chess buried by Li Heng, he even went on a night. According to the scout, he had arrived in Yong County two days ago and apologized to Li Longji. Li Longji did not scold him too much, but just asked him to serve in Ye Chang's army.

This means that Ye Chang's strength has increased again.

Since I can't defeat, the only way is to retreat first. However, with An Lushan's current temper, I'm afraid it's not easy to persuade him to withdraw immediately.

"The king wants to use Tian Chengsi as the forward to fight Ye Chang."

"What?" Yan Zhuang was stunned. This news was something he didn't know. An Lushan just whipped him, but he was tight-lipped about how to deal with it. What does this mean? It shows that An Lushan's trust in him is rapidly decreasing.

"With Cui Ganyou, Zhang Zhongzhi's lessons丨The king dares to use Tian Chengsi?"

"Tian Chengsi's whole family is in the hands of the king." Li Zhu'er said gloatingly: "Unless Tian Chengsi doesn't want the life of his family, he can only be obedient... The king has secretly sent someone back and ordered everyone's family to be taken. Mr. Yan, your family is no exception."

Yan Zhuang felt that his breathing seemed to stop for a moment. His face turned pale and he wanted to scold, but he didn't dare to scold him.

An Lushan had no choice but to do this, but he used this strategy but did not discuss it with Yan Zhuang at all. It clearly means that he already distrusts Yan Zhuang's wisdom. With An Lushan's current temper, as long as Yan Zhuang loses his trust, then...

So something must be done to regain trust

Yan Zhuang was absent-minded and talked to Li Zhuer, and then walked out of the camp involuntarily. Under the escort of several personal soldiers, he was about to climb up to look into the distance, but he saw several cavalry galloping towards Chang'an.

He stopped and waited for the knights to come in front of him and asked, "Who are you, why are you here?"

"It turned out to be Minister Yan, who came from Chang'an on the order of Doctor Ji." The visitor recognized him and hurriedly dismounted and bowed.

Yan Zhuang heard "Doctor Ji", and suddenly moved his heart and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a letter to me, I will present it to the king for you."

The messenger did not doubt that it had it. After he worshipped him, Yan Zhuang asked him to wait in front of the camp and return to the camp himself. But he did not go to find An Lushan first, but returned to his tent. He saw that there was no seal on the fire, so he opened the letter directly.

Ji Wen's letter mainly includes official affairs, some personnel arrangements in Chang'an City, military and food transportation from various places, and military affairs in other places, especially military mobilizations in Luoyang. But Yan Zhuang still found what he wanted here.

"Sure enough, it's not surprising..."

Seeing that passage, Yan Zhuang laughed three times to the sky, was excited, and then quickly went to see An Lushan

An Lushan heard Yan Zhuang's invitation to see him. He originally didn't want to see him, but he thought that he had just beaten him and the other party came again at this time. He must have something important to do, so he summoned him into it. This was also the last chance An Lushan gave Yan Zhuang. If Yan Zhuang could not impress him, he would be even more neglected from now on.

"King, there is something wrong with Chang'an" Yan Zhuang made An Lushan jump up with one sentence.

"Chang'an? Isn't Ji Wen there? Qing'en is there too. I have left another 20,000 loyal army. What can happen?"

"What the king is worried about..." Yan Zhuang presented him the letter.

An Lushan himself could not read, threw the letter on Yan Zhuang's face again, and roared: "You read, read."

General Yan Zhuang once believed it, and saw that An Lushan was still looking confused, so he repeated one of the paragraphs: "The king, Duke Ji repeatedly said that the emperor invited the generals for several days and rewarded gold and silver, mansions, palace maids, brocade and silk."

"You mean?"

"The king is conquering the world for him in front, and he is digging the corner of the king in the back." Yan Zhuang and sternly said: "Also, Mr. Ji has always been cautious and wise. He has repeatedly mentioned this matter, which only proves that he also realized something was wrong."

If anyone else could trust An Lushan at this moment, it would probably be Ji Wen. In fact, if Ji Wen is by An Lushan's side, he would probably not have such trust. As the saying goes, the fragrance is far away and the smell is smelly, but it is far away, but An Lushan is thinking about his goodness.

Therefore, Yan Zhuang used Ji Wen as a guise to make An Lushan really pay attention to this matter: "What I left behind are all loyal generals..."

"Don't Cui Ganyou and Zhang Zhongzhi be loyal to the king, but don't they have their own plans now?" Yan Zhuang said: "Besides, serving the king is about glory and wealth, but how can the glory and wealth that the king can give be compared to the glory and wealth that the emperor gives?"

An Lushan's murderous aura flashed on his face, and then looked at Yan Zhuang with suspicious eyes: "You mean, are they intending to defect to Li Heng?"

"Even if this is not the case now, Li Heng repeatedly wins over and promises wealth and honor, and the king is away for a long time, so how can he not be moved? They are different from low-ranking positions. They have no military power, nor are they brave and brave. If they do not rely on the king, they will have no resources to settle down. They have military and courage, so why worry about not having a place to serve?"

Since ancient times, it has been a way to slander. After Yan Zhuang said this, An Lushan was furious: "They dare"

"King, the emperor in Chang'an City can only have a soldier and general to help him block his father. As for whether the soldier and general's surname is An or something else, he doesn't care. Moreover, when the king sets off, he kills the enemy. At that time, he sent Cheng Yuanzhen to come, and it is obvious that he is preparing to scold the king. The grudge has already arisen, so you must be careful."

An Lushan's face was ferocious and his anger became more and more intense.

He is used to fighting wars, so he naturally understands that his battle with Ye Chang will definitely not be able to completely determine the outcome in a short period of time. He is likely to have to repeatedly tug-of-war between Jingjin and Guandi. And during this stalemate, if the rear is unstable and there is any turbulence, how can he fight in front?

"In your opinion?"

"King, the situation is obvious at this time. How many people sent people to see Li Heng and recognize him as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Not to mention the towns, even the chiefs of states and counties, how many people recognized Li Heng as the emperor? The king kept him, originally wanted to use his call, but now, not only could he not borrow the power of his call, but this person forced his father to rebel and the world despised him, but instead implicated the king." Yan Zhuang said: "King, since this is the case, why not change the emperor."

"A different emperor? Find a young man from the Li family so as not to sit on the imperial throne and think about it... This is an idea."

"No, why do you need to change the junior of the Li family, the position of emperor, and the virtues of the emperor are here, and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and now the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. Why not proclaim yourself emperor? Then you will be called emperor with Geshuhan, Ye Chang and others, and what's wrong with the Li family? "

"I'll call myself emperor?"

An Lushan was stunned for a long time, even though he was as bold and arrogant as he was, he couldn't help but be frightened by Yan Zhuang's suggestion.

It was not that he had no ambition to be rebellious and become emperor, but now this ambition is only in its infancy. Moreover, he always felt that the hearts of the world had not completely betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and becoming emperor at this time was not a good choice.

"You want to harm me?" His frog's eyes rolled: "Will you become the target of public criticism at this time be the emperor?"

"Is there no less to kill my father and brother? The king is now elected as emperor, and replaces it, and then provokes the border generals to proclaim themselves to be emperors, so that the Li family will no longer have the power to command the world. The king is in the capital, Hedong, Henan North Road, and enters Tudu Valley, Henan South Road, Huainan Road and Hexi, and becomes the foundation of emperors for generations. Can it be worse than the current situation?"
