    ? Chapter 6: The Tang Dynasty (Part 7)

    At that time, Yu Wenzhi left Tangying and joined the rebels because of his anger at Feng Changqing's death.  An Lushan was overjoyed when he got the news.  He was soon summoned in person and entrusted with important tasks.  However, Yu Wenzhi seemed to be born with a traitor in the back of his head. This spring, before An Lushan's corpse had turned cold, he encouraged his immediate boss Tian Chengsi to rebel against An Qingxu.

    When An Qingxu heard the news, he was furious and ordered Shi Siming, the governor of Hebei Province, to put down the rebellion within a month. He cut off the heads of Tian Chengsi and Yu Wenzhi and sent them to Luoyang.  Unexpectedly, Shi Siming believed the words of Tian Chengsi and Yu Wenzhi, thinking that the cause of An Lushan's death was strange, and followed the latter to raise a rebellion.

    It can be said that the reason why the situation of Dayan Kingdom is so difficult has a lot to do with Shi Siming and Tian Chengsi being out of control.  And Yu Wenzhi undoubtedly played a very key role in this.  If he hadn't betrayed An Lushan's trust and secretly betrayed him, Tian Chengsi might not have been able to quietly accumulate such great power.  If he hadn't suddenly taken up the banner of revenge for the powerful emperor An Lushan, Shi Siming would not have been so confident.

    "That boy is just like Wang Mingyun. He has a tiger-like heart. He never knows how to be grateful, but he will retaliate for the smallest personal grudge. When I was in the army in Anxi, I could see that they were not good people. It's a pity that the people around me are not good people.  Everyone is hurting Feng Changqing's face and refusing to let me take care of them!" Lest Jia Chang take the danger lightly, Bian Lingcheng waved his arms and continued to encourage loudly, "You only remember that you have helped them.  People may still hate you for speaking so loudly back then. Besides, you, Jia Chang, have been close to Zhang Tongru in the past two years. If the Tang army enters the city and pursues you"

    "I'm just a cockfighting boy. How can I get into Zhang Liushou's eyes?" The smile on Jia Chang's face froze. He covered his chest with his hand and patted it gently. "Don't talk nonsense. If you hurt me, you can get away with it."  What¡¯s the benefit?! Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, we have to deal with many things that Zhang Tongshou told us urgently, I¡¯ll talk to you slowly another day!¡±

    As he spoke, he lowered his head, walked around to the side, and walked away.  Bian Lingcheng was very anxious when he saw this. He rushed forward in three steps and grabbed Jia Chang's clothes tightly. "You can't leave. You can't leave like this! I have something important to talk to Li Jiedu and Zhang Tongshou."  Say it to my face, you must do this for me!¡±

    "Have you ever asked for help like this?" Jia Chang waved his arms twice, unable to break free.  He turned his face and frowned, "I said, old Bian, you can't just calm down. It's obvious that Chang'an City can't be defended, so why do you force everyone to wait here to die?"

    "Our family, our family just doesn't want everyone to fall for Guo Ziyi's tricks! Li Heng is impatient with us. As long as we muster up the courage to spend another month in the city, he will definitely force Guo Ziyi to let go without any conditions.  Let's go!" Bian Lingcheng opened his voice and reiterated his thoughts loudly.

    "But what if I can't hold on for this month?" Jia Chang glanced at him and asked with a sneer.  "You know how many brothers there are in the city right now. Today there is Li Siye, tomorrow there is Bai Xiao Jie, and the day after tomorrow there is Pugu Huai'en. There are so many people piled up, where are our soldiers and horses? When all the brothers are used up, is it?  Are you going to go to the top of the city with a knife, or am I, a little dwarf, going to do it?!"

    "This" Bian Lingcheng was used to driving others to work for him, and he would not do it in any case.  But he was unwilling to just run away in despair. He hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice and said: "But, if we leave like this, we won't even have the chance to change or bargain. In the days to come.  ¡­¡±

    "Everyone is just taking it one step at a time. How can you worry about the future! If you have to go see Li Jiedu and Zhang Tongshou, I won't stop you. But I promise, they won't do it for you, old Bian.  With just a few words from your boss, I risk being trapped in the city by Guo Ziyi."

    What he means is that Li Guiren and others will not risk the lives of all soldiers because of Bian Lingcheng's personal safety.  Although he didn't say it too directly, everyone who heard it understood it.  Bian Lingcheng hesitated for a moment, sighed helplessly, turned around and followed Jia Chang back.  After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, stared at Jia Chang's hand and asked: "What are you holding is Zhang Tongshou's command arrow?! What on earth did he send you to do?! There are so many people under his command who don't need it, so why bother you?!"

    "Hey! Everyone has important things to do! Jia was afraid that everyone would leave him alone, so he took the initiative to clean the warehouse." Jia Chang was shocked, but his face still showed the expression that it would be okay to tell you in detail.  .

    "Cleaning the warehouse? Are they going to take the food and grass away?!" Bian Lingcheng asked repeatedly.

    "Nonsense, if you don't bring food, all the brothers will not starve to death!" Jia Chang glanced at him and responded impatiently.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  From a safety perspective, Jia Chang¡¯s explanation is reasonable.?.  However, Bian Lingcheng didn't want to believe it at the moment. He was like a frightened old wolf, his ears would prick up at the slightest sign of disturbance around him.

    A while ago, I proposed to go out of the city to attack the Anxi Army. Li Guiren and Zhang Tongru clearly agreed, but then they didn't know why they didn't implement it!  And in those few days, Jia Qia brought a group of actors and actresses to celebrate Zhang Tongru's birthday at his home!  Now, the conditions proposed by Guo Ziyi obviously still have room for negotiation. Why is Jia so anxious to help Zhang Tongru pack his bags?  Could it be that he?

    The more he looked at it, the more Bian Lingcheng felt that his guess made sense.  The two eyes slowly become smaller, and the pupils are filled with light.  This guy surnamed Jia just said that he has friendship with Wang Xun. If everyone is chased by Wang Xun during the retreat, he will just light a fire on the grain cart

    Thinking of this, Bian Lingcheng shuddered.  He was about to grab Jia Chang immediately and tell the truth in front of Zhang Tongru.  But then I heard Jia Chang suggest with a smile: "To be honest, Jia took on this job bravely, just to be able to follow everyone. Lao Bian, you have been working as a supervisor in Anxi all year round. You should be more knowledgeable about how to manage grain and grass baggage."  I'm familiar with it. Why don't you come over and work with me? Firstly, we can have some company, and secondly, after counting the food and grass baggage, go and report to Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang, and they won't miss you.  !¡±

    "Yeah!" Bian Lingcheng's heart pounded, and his already tense nerves instantly relaxed again.  If Jia Chang really colluded with Wang Mingyun, he would not publicize their past friendship.  And with the food and fodder of the army in hand, there will be more opportunities to respond in the future, even if it cannot be dedicated to Guo Ziyi to seek the court's understanding.  At least, it can ensure that Jia Chang will not be burned down at the critical moment.

    Thinking of this, a bright smile quickly bloomed on his pale face, "Bian, how dare Bian take on such a big responsibility. However, since Mr. Jia Hou has spoken, Bian can't refuse. So, I just care  I will make suggestions for you, and whether you listen or not depends entirely on your judgment!"

    "How can we just make suggestions? Who doesn't know that all the logistics supplies of the Anxi Army fell on your shoulders?!" Jia Chang was overjoyed, jumped up, and patted Bian Lingcheng on the shoulder, "I was worried that I had no choice but to do it.  As for the work, I might as well leave it all to you. Jia will just be a hands-off shopkeeper and just watch the excitement from the sidelines!"

    As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring Bian Lingcheng's horse over and walk alongside him.  In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the warehouse and showed the command arrow to the military commander on duty. The other party took it, checked it, and quickly opened the camp door.

    Chang'an City's food, grass and baggage reserves are enough for the army to hold on for at least half a year, so the amount of materials that need to be inventoried is very large.  Jia Chang was out of temper. He had been busy with the account book for more than an hour, but he felt it was boring.  He raised his head and let out a long yawn, groaning: "I originally thought it was a small matter, but who would have thought it would be so annoying! Why don't we two go find a place to have a drink first, and leave this place to the brothers!"

    "Master Jia, feel free to go!" Bian Lingcheng was anxious to master a piece of power in order to prepare for the future. He smiled and responded very understandingly.  "Bian will keep an eye on it for you, wait until everything is tidied up, and then report to Master Jia!"

    "When will we get it? I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it all night!" Jia Chang looked around with his eyes widened and complained in a low voice.

    "It's okay, Bian is used to it. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are fighting in the front, and Bian is busier in the back than here!" Bian Lingcheng smiled and responded smoothly.  Suddenly remembering the past events in Anxi's army, my heart tightened, and my face showed a bit of desolation.

    When I was in the Anxi Army, I was not just facing Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing in tit-for-tat.  For a long time, the two sides have cooperated very well with each other.  But why did it become the same thing later?  There doesn't seem to be much hatred between each other, so why do they insist on killing two people and then hurry up?  !

    He couldn¡¯t think of an answer. He just felt that the most relaxing time in his life was the time when he helped Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing ensure logistical supplies and made great achievements in the Western Regions together.  It's a pity that those days passed in a flash, and the past will never come back.

    "Then I really have to leave?!" Jia Chang couldn't understand Bian Lingcheng's complicated state of mind at the moment, so he raised his head and asked tentatively again.

    "Let's go, leave this to Bian, don't worry, Mr. Jia!" Bian Lingcheng suddenly seemed to be a different person, staring at the account book, concentrating on it.

    Jia Chang clapped his hands and smiled as if he had taken advantage of something.  Turned around and skipped away.  After walking out of the warehouse door, he jumped on his mount, then turned around and looked back attentively inside.

    The sky was already dark, and Bian Lingcheng's figure was reflected on the window screen by the candlelight, concentrating on his work.  Looking at this person's figure, Jia Chang sighed quietly.  Then he quickly knocked on his stirrups and rushed towards his mansion.

    "Who is riding a horse on the street? Don't you know it's curfew time?" There is a night watchman.Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he rushed out and asked.

    "According to Zhang Tongshou's order, clean up the grain, grass and baggage in the warehouse! Get out of here, you can't bear to delay my business!" Jia Chang proudly showed the command arrow given by Zhang Tongru and kept running.
