    The man who appeared in front of Gao Lishi had a slightly pale face, with greed and ambition flashing in his eyes, and a flattering smile on his face.  An Lushan has no other skills, but his ability to read people is extremely high. You can guess what this guy is thinking just by looking at him.  "You are Gao Shang?" "A certain Gao Shang is not in danger." "What is your relationship with General Gao?" "A certain person and General Gao" Gao Shang raised his eyes and looked at An Lushan.  He has a letter of recommendation from Gao Lishi in his hand. With this letter of recommendation, he believes that he can get a leisurely and prosperous position under An Lushan. No one in the world except Li Linfu dares to deny Gao Lishi face.  Even Li Linfu would find it difficult to truly compete with Gao Lishi head-on.  But after he looked at the honest-looking face of Gao Lishi, he suddenly changed his mind.  "Loyal on the outside but cunning on the insidecould it be said that such a person could really be a loyal and good general of the Tang Dynasty?"  "A certain person has nothing to do with General Gao." Thinking of this, Gao Shang raised his hands and said, "But he has something to do with the doctor. "Ah?  An Lushan was stunned, and then laughed: "This is funny. I am Hu, you are Han, my surname is An, your surname is Gao If you are not related to General Gao, how can you be related to me?"  Gao Shang raised his hands and said, "A certain person's native place is Yingzhou, and he is under the rule of a doctor. The doctor is a parent official of a certain person, and a certain person is a subject of the doctor. How come it doesn't matter?"  Someone was recommended to General Gao, but General Gao could not use him, so he recommended him to the doctor. From then on, he became a servant of the doctor, and naturally had nothing to do with General Gao anymore.  " After he said these words, An Lushan's wild laughter stopped immediately. "You are a scholar, there is something interesting You are really from Yingzhou. You say this in front of me, are you not afraid that I will say you are ungrateful?  " "If you are not in danger, you would rather die for doing something. You can't bite the grass root in the end, and you can live your life."  "Gao Shang said: "I have been poor since childhood and have studied hard till now, but my talent has not been recognized. If the doctor only gives me food and clothing just for the sake of General Gao's face, how can this be what I want?" "He is an ambitious person However, you came at the wrong time.  , a certain person is going back to Chang'an.  An Lushan was a little less interested: "After returning to Chang'an this time, I wonder if the imperial court will still regard you as Fan Yang and Lu Long."  Well, how about I give you an official position first and you just make do with it?  " "Go back to Chang'an You must not go back to Chang'an," Gao Shang shouted with a change of color, making An Lushan's eyes condense. "The doctor is a tiger, and Fan Yang and Lu Long are mountains. Tigers roar in the mountains, and all beasts avoid them.  But when the doctor returns to Chang'an, the tiger has fallen into Pingyang, and a few hounds dare to bark at the general." "This is the emperor's wish, how can I refuse it?  " "The emperor is surrounded by villains nowadays. The great officials are loyal and have done great service to the country. Even for the sake of the emperor, they should also cherish themselves."  Gao Shang said solemnly, but even An Lushan was startled by the next sentence: "Khitan and Xi people are unstable, so the general should be here to take charge." "What are you talking nonsense?" "The imperial court promised to marry, but the princess has been delayed."  No, so the Khitans and Xi people have hidden counter-intentions in their hearts.  Gao Shang opened his eyes and said, "How can the doctor be ignorant of this matter?" An Lushan really doesn't know. He only knows that Xi Ren and the Khitan people are afraid of the power of the Tang Dynasty and almost let him bully him. If he wants to take credit,  Then he went to find a small tribe of Xi people or Khitan people to slaughter. But he understood what Gao Shang meant. "It would be too coincidental that the Khitan people and the Xi people are turning against each other.  " "When the doctor wants them to rebel, they will rebel.  Gao Shang said. "Okay, you stay in Fan Yang, and I will give you an official position after I come back."  "Come here, lead Mr. Gao Lang down, and entertain him well. Give him whatever he wants, food and clothing, gold and silver. Give him whatever he wants." After Gao Shang was led down, An Lushan looked around, and then  After giving two orders in a row, he breathed a sigh of relief. "These Han people are really cunning" The area northeast of Fanyang, formerly under the jurisdiction of the Songmo Governor's Mansion, is now the territory of the Khitan people. Because they have been in contact with the Han people for a long time,  The Khitan people are not all nomadic now. They also have farmers, miners, and smelters, but the number is very small. "Khan of the Di Nian group, are those Tang people gone?  "Zuwu Khan Di Chaanli, who was riding a horse, looked at the cavalry leaving in the distance. Hearing the words behind him, he nodded: "Let's go." "The Han people are hateful. That's why you have to treat them so kindly." "  No matter how hateful the Han people are, they are not as hateful as lackeys. As long as that old fat dog An Lushan can cause trouble for him, I am willing to do it." "But if he knows" "Could it be that the situation will be worse than the current situation?  ?  He robbed our livestock, conscripted our warriors, and slaughtered our tribes Hateful, hateful, didn't the Khan of the Tang Dynasty know about An Lushan's evil deeds?" "The emperor of the Tang DynastyKhan is also a liar. He clearly said that he would give another princess to marry, but so far, except for the name Li Huaixiu, there is nothing. Bah, is this name better than the Di Nian group? The Chinese name is Li Huaixiu  Di Nianzhuli glanced at his companion: "Don't talk about this. Is there any news over Ya Guan?" "Ya Guan said that he will support all the Khan's decisions, but in the past few decades  , We and the Xi people have always been advancing and retreating together. The Xi people are closer to Anlu Mountain and have a feud with Anlu Mountain. If the Great Khan really wants to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, then he must form an alliance with the Xi people. In addition, the Tang Dynasty is powerful, not us.  To be able to defeat the enemy, we must have allies" "I know, I know As long as the war breaks out, I will send my troops to the east. This place is too close to the Tang Dynasty. I want to go to Liaodong to fight against that group.  The place that the Han people talk about" "Liaodong, aren't those Han people over there?" "Yes, it's because those Han people are there, that's why I want to go. Although some of us know how to farm, and some of us know how to mine and mine.  It¡¯s not enough. We need more Han farmers and craftsmen Dilie. Remember, tell Ya Guan that if we Khitans want to become stronger, we must have more Han farmers and craftsmen so that he can kill less.  , grab more." He was nominally the leader of the Eight Khitan Tribes, and was granted the title of Governor of Songmo and King of Chongshun by the Tang Dynasty. However, the Di Nian group did not have much power in their hands. He could only control one of his own.  He is giving orders to the eight ministries, and he also has his own tooth officer to do the work for him.  The group of people sent by Di Nian's team were Shan Zhi and Ye Ying.  They went north, not so much for business, but for information. Shen Xi only provided a map, and it was a map from twenty years ago. The situation has changed a lot now. More importantly, what products are there in the places they pass?  There is no record.  The map that Chen Xi regarded as a treasure and even enshrined it was actually worth less than half of what he imagined.  "Okay, Songmo has also been here. The Khitan people here are quite polite. Even their Khan came to meet us in person." Ye Ying took a long breath and looked back: "It's quite a hospitable person.  People don¡¯t know how true what he said is true.¡± Shanzhi sighed sadly, his eyes resting on a box on the back of a horse.  They headed north. There were twenty people in total when they set out, carrying ten horses' cargo. Now there were more people, more than forty people. However, among the twenty people when they set out, five of them had only ashes left.  The dangers along this journey can be imagined.  These five people were all disciples brought by Ye Chang from Xiu Wu. Their casualties made it difficult for Shan Zhi to explain in front of Ye Chang.  "Master Shanzhi, I don't blame you for this matter. Life and death are determined by fate. Since you have chosen this matter, you have to take such risks. After a long journey, four months of trekking, and dozens of fierce battles, Ye Ying has  He made great progress, he sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to see my fifth brother.  " "Eleventh Lang will not blame you, he has been mentally prepared.  "Looking around, Ye Ying whispered: "Eleventh Lang asked us when we came here, saying that this trip is extremely dangerous and dangerous. If you don't do it voluntarily, don't go. He is looking for other people.  He also said that after this trip, when we can return to the capital, we can all be on our own It will only be a few months. Could it be that Ye Ting and the others are not in danger if they are floating on the sea?  "    "you are right.  " "A real man is born in this world. If he is ignorant, he can still live like a dog. But after following Shi Yilang for so long, which one of us is willing to live a peaceful life?  "Ye Ying added: "Eleventh son will rarely be granted the title of marquis or prime minister in the future. By then, why should we, the descendants of the Ye family, be supported by him? Could it be that we only rely on the same ancestor a hundred years ago?  " "Well, you are right.  Shanzhi responded again. He and Ye Chang were sworn friends. The two had a life-long friendship, but if they wanted Buddhism to prosper in Ye Chang's hands, relying on their previous friendship was not enough. They cheered up and looked for a way out.  The journey back down was much smoother because we were back on the main road heading north. It took us more than a month to go north, and now we arrived at Beisha City in just over twenty days. "We are close after passing Beisha City."  In Daheishan, the accompanying Ye family disciples said happily: "Finally, the journey back is smooth. Uncle Ying, Master Shanzhi, can we rest in Bisha City for two days?"  " Looking back at the camel team, Shanzhi hesitated and said: "It's better to go back as soon as possible. This is someone else's territory after all. "Master Shanzhi said, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, you can just go back to the capital to rest." Ye Ying looked at the mountains on the ridge.  Looking at the city wall, I muttered in my heart: "The situation on this city is not the same as when we went north." When we went north, there was no trouble here. The Goguryeo people on the Beisha City side were not very vigilant.  But this is not the case now. On the city wall on the ridge, soldiers can occasionally be seen wandering around. There are several sentry posts on the mountain road entering the city, and the city gates are also locked. It looks like it is during war.  "Who are you?" someone shouted and asked. The guide stepped forward and saluted: "We are from the Tang Dynasty.The merchants who received the goods from the Bohai Kingdom have come back now, and here is our message" When they heard that they were from the Tang Dynasty, the guards exchanged glances with each other, and then surrounded them, pointing their weapons at everyone.  Ye Ying originally felt something was wrong, but now she was even more shocked: There is indeed a problem here. "Sure enough, he is from the capital." After reading Guan Wen, the guards surrounded Ye Ying, and Shanzhi looked at Ye Ying.  At one glance, Ye Ying shook his head and didn't do anything. "What are they?"  " An officer said in blunt Chinese, raising his chin to gesture to the cavalry. Bisha City is now controlled by the Goguryeo people, so the officers mostly use the word Goguryeo. They are the most hostile to the Tang people, and this is the attitude of this officer. Ye Ying and his party went north.  There were more than twenty horses at that time, but now there are more than fifty. Most of them were taken from various horse thieves and mountain bandits. The more than fifty horses have luggage on them and contain a lot of items.  At the officer's signal, Ye Ying asked someone to unpack some leather goods and mountain goods for the officer to see. These things were worth a lot of money in the Central Plains, but they were just like that in Liaodong, so the officer didn't take them seriously at first.  When he saw that there were more than twenty horses carrying stones in their luggage, the officer's color changed slightly: "What are these?  " " Sir, these are goods.  "The guide saluted respectfully. "Use these stones as goods?  Are you stupid or am I stupid?" The officer roared: "These people must be spies, arrest them." "Wait a minute, wait a minute.  "Ye Ying heard his shouting and could only step forward and said: "General, the Taoist priests in the Central Plains like to make elixirs. They say that they can use strange stones to make elixirs of immortality, so I specially searched for these stones and their  .  " The officer was slightly happy when he heard Ye Ying call him "general". He was just a humble city gate official, not a general. When Ye Ying said that it was the material for Taoist priests to make alchemy, his expression changed.  Although he was still terribly gloomy, he finally did not urge the soldiers to arrest everyone: "You Han people like to do such weird things.  "He commented: "Throw them all down to me." "General, general, we went north to collect the goods this time, but we didn't receive anything good. We relied on the fact that these stones can be sold at a high price.  "Ye Ying came forward with a smile, and pointed to the pottery bowl on the last horse: "Many people were injured, and the ashes were brought back. The wives, children, and children of these people also have to rely on these stones" He said as he said,  While turning sideways, blocking everyone's view, he stuffed a small cloth bag into the officer's hand.  The officer took the cloth bag, his expression suddenly changed, and the disgust he had shown towards the Han people suddenly disappeared: "So that's how it is, it's love, love is love Even so, we still need to search, you guys  There are very few Tang people who are so sensible, haha" The soldiers began to rummage through everyone's luggage, stuffing some of the things they liked into their arms and taking them away. In this regard, Ye Ying and others could only  Watch.  Ye Ying saw that the officer had accepted the bribe and his expression became much more friendly, so he whispered again: "General, I have been here before, and I have never seen anything like this Why is this?" "This, it's nothing.  The thing is, I'm afraid of spies." The officer laughed, and then stared: "Why are you asking, do you really want to be spies?" "By the way, we are all kind-hearted people.  , the most honest person, how could he be a spy?" Ye Ying said with a smile: "It's just that this trade route is related to everyone's livelihood, so I asked" He responded like this, but his heart sank.  Something must have happened, these Goguryeo people must be uneasy and kind-hearted
