    The irony in this statement.  Fan Chongwu laughed twice, knowing that what he had done was somewhat looked down upon.  He was originally a typical example of Ye Changli. He had more opportunities than others, so he was promoted quickly. If he said he was not jealous, it would be a lie.  But he didn't cherish the opportunity that others were eagerly waiting for. First he gave up his promotion for a Khitan girl, and then he surrendered when he was attacked by Hou Xiyi's troops. It can be said that Fan Chongwu started all the bad things.  "There is important military information to report." Fan Chongwu said: "Take me to see Mr. Zhang." "You should think about how to meet Ye Sima first." "Ye Sima?" "Come with us." Fan Chongwu followed them, and not long after,  Then he saw Ye Chang riding on the horse, talking to Zhang Haozheng from the side.  Fan Chongwu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Ye Chang, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be mentally prepared to see Ye Chang.  He also didn¡¯t expect that it was Ye Chang himself who was personally taking charge of the troops under the banner of Zhang Hao.  When he arrived in front of Ye Chang, the person who brought him did not speak, but looked at him with a smile.  Fan Chongwu was silent for a while, then fell to his knees: "Sinner Fan Chongwu, pay homage to Ye Sima." Ye Chang then turned around, looked at Fan Chongwu, and smiled: "Sinner? I think you have made a great decision.  "Fan Chongwu knew that he was speaking sarcastically and lowered his head in silence.  "You haven't marched yet, what are you doing here?" Ye Chang shouted, and the sergeants who were watching the excitement laughed and moved forward one after another.  Fan Chongwu kowtowed and said: "The sinner has military intelligence reports Hou Xiyi, Li Huaiyu and others have not escaped for a long time. They only need to follow the traces and they can catch them." Ye Chang smiled and said to Zhang Hao: "Yes, I still dare to talk about military intelligence  Zhang Hao, he will hand it over to you." Zhang Hao nodded with a straight face: "I will punish him as a warning to others." Zhang Hao is in charge of military law, and handing Fan Chongwu over to Zhang Hao means that he will be dealt with according to military law.  Fan Chongwu trembled, raised his head and wanted to beg for mercy, but when he thought that he had knelt down to beg for mercy in front of Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu, he suddenly felt very ashamed and did not say anything after all.  "Follow the trail and make sure Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu are not allowed to escape," Ye Chang ordered again.  Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu abandoned nearly a quarter of their manpower and almost all their harvests and headed south along the Liao River. Their purpose was to find a ford to cross the river.  It was late autumn and there was not much rainfall, so they found a place to cross the river not far away.  "Come here Hexi is our territory. No matter how arrogant Ye Chang is, he doesn't dare to come here to act." Hou Xiyi let out a long breath, as if a huge boulder weighing on his heart had been removed, although he did not meet face to face.  However, Ye Chang's behavior still put him under great pressure: "Ye Chang behaves like a lunatic, making it difficult to predict. It is lucky that we can seize Di Lie's daughter from him." "What a pity."  Although those carts and prisoners were only women and children, they were still a huge gain." Li Huaiyu was still dissatisfied.  "It's no pity. Having Di Lie's daughter is enough for us to claim credit and reward in front of Dr. An." Hou Xiyi said this, but he also felt a little regretful in his heart. The captured women and children were just returned. The key was the more than twenty vehicles.  The big car and the belongings on the car together are probably worth no less than 100,000 yuan.  Ye Chang's northern expedition, because of his complete victory, the harvest was really very rich. It was getting late at this time, they fled with light cavalry, carrying only food, and the sergeants complained one by one.  Hou Xiyi originally wanted to find a place to rest, but suddenly, he found that the water from upstream was a little turbid, and he felt something bad in his heart: there must be a large group of people crossing the river upstream, which made the water so filthy. "Brother, what's wrong?" Seeing him  Li Huaiyu asked, looking wrong.  "It's bad, Ye Chang's subordinates are as bold as him, and even actually crossed the line." Hou Xiyi pointed at the turbid water and said: "That guy crossed the river." "Damn it, why did that guy ignore the rules so much?" Li Huaiyu was also shocked.  called out.  "Huaiyu, go and ask for help immediately. Since he is here, don't leave." Hou Xiyi's face twitched: "Go quickly and ask for help."  We are all over there in Yangjiaogou now. Where can we go to ask for help?" Li Huaiyu was also anxious and couldn't help but speak loudly.  Hou Xiyi gave him a tug: "Go and ask Doctor An for help. Dong Qin and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals are not reliable at all." Li Huaiyu understood the implication of his words. They were sent by Dong Qin and others as bait. They were originally intended to lure Ye out of the house.  Chang's army then went to seize Anshi City.  However, their brothers played a trick on Dong Qin and others. After discovering that among the captives Ye Chang transported back was Di Lie's daughter, they betrayed the location of Dong Qin and others. In this way, they failed to complete their mission of luring Ye Chang's main force.  Naturally, Qin and others will not come to help them  And until now, Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu had never thought that Ye Chang would personally come to Zhang Hao's army. They always thought that it was Zhang Hao who was chasing them.  "Yes" Li Huaiyu also knew that there was no room for hesitation at this time. He must return to Liucheng quickly, and may even have to return to Fanyang through Yuguan to move An Lushan out.  He rushed out like an arrow from the string, and after running for more than half a mile, he suddenly remembered that, not to mention whether Anlu Mountain would see him, a young man without a title, even if Anlu Mountain was moved, it would still be far away.  Quenching the Near Thirst He turned around, knowing that Hou Xiyi had just sent him to ask for help, which was actually to let him escape.  Although he looked down on his cousin deep down in his heart, at this moment, he couldn't help but burst into tears.  "Brother, don't worry, if you have any shortcomings, I will definitely avenge you at all costs," he secretly swore in his heart.  After sending away Li Huaiyu, Hou Xiyi gathered the remaining people and pointed to the east: "Let's cross the Liao River again." Everyone was stunned: "General, we just crossed the river, and now we are going back?" "Have you seen the filth in the water? This proves that Ye  Chang's men chased him across the river, and since they were in hot pursuit, we did the opposite, jumped into his heart, and made the world upside down.  There was a way to stop, and now he realized that Ye Chang wanted his life, so naturally he was desperate: "I heard that they newly captured Jian'an Prefecture City? Let's go to Jian'an Prefecture City for a walk." The knights were stunned, and someone said: "Hou  If the general wants to leave, we will naturally obey him, but we have no supplies now. How can we cope with the situation when people eat the chews of horses? " They are all elite riders. They know that people can cope with it, but horses cannot cope with it. If they don't feed them for a day, they will not be able to cope with it.  It's about to fall off.  "There are plenty of supplies in the villages along the way, so just let everyone go and help," Hou Xiyi said.  Hearing his words, everyone was convinced. They were used to fighting with the Xi people and Khitan people, and they were all good at plundering.  At that moment, everyone turned back again while it was still dark.  It has to be said that Hou Xiyi's move was beyond Ye Chang's expectation. Ye Chang personally supervised the army to cross the Liao River to intercept it. After chasing for more than ten miles without detecting the whereabouts of Hou Xiyi's army, he realized something was wrong.  "Where is Hou Xiyi hiding?" Zhang Hao frowned: "This place is flat and wide. If he returns to Liucheng, he will have to pass by here, but we have not seen any traces of a large number of people passing by." "It's late at night, let's look for it today.  Let¡¯s set up camp and talk about it tomorrow.¡± Although he was shocked and angry, Ye Chang calmed down and said.  "This guy is just a mouse" Zhang Hao muttered.  Everyone camped to rest, but Ye Chang and Zhang Hao didn't sleep. After discussing for a while, they felt that Hou Xiyi's tribe had only two possibilities. One was to break up into pieces and disperse and escape, and the other was to return to the east of the Liao River.  The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that the latter was possible, and Ye Chang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: Hou Xiyi was able to seize control after the An-Shi Rebellion, and he was by no means a wasted person. "If Hou Xiyi really returns to Liaodong Judge Zhang thinks he will  "How to act?" "He will not pursue our prisoners anymore, because those people and property are just a burden if he gets them. If I were him, I would go all the way south, plundering and threatening Jian'anzhou City."  At this point, Zhang Hao was shocked and said: "Jian'an Prefecture City has now surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. If he sneaks into the cityit will really be a big trouble." "There is no point in hurrying. Let's wait until dawn."  Ye Chang said: "We are sending people to warn at this time, I'm afraid they will be intercepted" The next day, they returned to the banks of the Liao River and found traces that Hou Xiyi's army had returned to the east of the Liao River.  After confirming this, Ye Chang felt relieved. He led the army across the river again. This time he no longer tried to predict the opponent's whereabouts, but followed its traces and pursued them.  After chasing for a few miles, they found the camp where Hou Xiyi's army was camping, and explored Tang Hui. Tang Hui had already become cold, and the other party might have set off before dawn.  Warlord Ye Chang chased for another two miles, and then suddenly realized something was wrong: "This is heading north If I were Hou Xiyi, how could I go north?" When they discussed last night, they concluded that Hou Xiyi was most likely going south after crossing the river.  Anzhou City was falsely built, but the traces were to the north. In all likelihood, these traces were left behind by Hou Xiyi to spread suspicion. "The Khitans led by Di Lie were beaten to a pulp by us. I only think that these frontier troops are no better than  So, now it seems that Di Lie was defeated because of his arrogance and arrogance, not because we really had any clever tricks." Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh at this time: "Hou Xiyi is so difficult to deal with.  In the Anjun Protectorate, he is just a subordinate general" "Looking back, the more this happens, the more you can't let this person go." Ye Chang also had a trace of anger in his eyes.  After all, no one likes being played around with.  This time he chased southward for dozens of miles, but saw no sign of Hou Xiyi's tribe. Instead, he caught up with the Khitan women and children heading south.  Ye Chang was worried, so he didn't stop.After asking that they had not seen Hou Xiyi's men, they continued south and chased for a while before they found the trace. At this time, they were not far from Jian'anzhou City.  "Damn it, he is really heading for Jian'an Prefecture City." Ye Chang murmured after confirming that Hou Xiyi's tribe was broken into pieces, went south around the trail, and then reunited here.  "If Jian'an Prefecture City is taken away by Hou Xiyi, even if Ye Chang takes it back, it will be a huge blow to his reputation in Liaodong.  But at this moment, he saw several horses galloping in front of him. Ye Chang took a closer look, and the leader turned out to be Fan Chongwu. "Well, why is this guy here?" Ye Chang couldn't help but be surprised.  Fan Chongwu's expression at this time was no longer as downcast as the day before. When he saw Ye Chang, he immediately got off his horse and prostrated himself in the tunnel: "Ye Sima, Hou Xiyi is surrounded by us." "Ah?" Ye Chang and Zhang Hao looked at each other.  Thinking of this guy's bad record of surrender, Zhang Hao asked: "How did you surround Hou Xiyi?" "We were ordered to escort the Khitan women and children south. Because we suffered a loss, I was sent first and asked Jian'an Prefecture to send troops to support them.  Shortly after entering the city, Hou Xiyi's troops also arrived "The incident was extremely dramatic, and Fan Chongwu was handed over to military law. However, during the war, Zhang Hao temporarily had no time to hear the case, so he allowed him to continue going south with the women and children.  Divide one hundred troops into escorts.  Because they were worried about another accident, four more of the hundred people went ahead and notified Jian'an Prefecture to send someone to respond.  Because he disliked Fan Chongwu, he was indispensable for this kind of back and forth and backbreaking work, and he was given a good reputation and allowed to make meritorious deeds.  Fan Chongwu entered Jian'an Prefecture. This time he did not dare to neglect the slightest and asked Jian'an Prefecture to send three thousand troops to respond.  Gao Ji had just surrendered and was about to welcome him. He ordered three thousand elite soldiers and was about to leave the city when he heard that Tang troops were coming.  Gao Ji had no doubt that he had it, so he wanted to go out of the city to meet him, but Fan Chongwu felt strange that the Tang army coming from the north should be theirs. How could anyone else come?  He had suffered the loss before, and he did not dare to make the same mistake again this time. Regardless of the objections of his companions, he strongly requested that he be allowed to visit the city before being invited into the city.  As a result, when he looked far away on the city, he happened to see Hou Xiyi and was startled.  Fortunately, Hou Xiyi didn't notice him and was still calling the door.  When Fan Chongwu came down, he said that Gao Ji was dedicated to catering to Ye Chang and had no fear of the Anton Governor's Mansion. He immediately followed Fan Chongwu's advice and set up an ambush in the city.  After Hou Xiyi and others entered the city, the city gate was immediately closed, and the three thousand elite soldiers who were originally prepared to come out to respond surrounded Hou Xiyi and the three hundred people.  Hou Xiyi and others knew that they had fallen into the trap, but they were also extremely brave. Although they could not escape, they still caused considerable damage to the Jian'an Prefecture Army.  "That is to say, Hou Xiyi's troops are now surrounded in a corner of the city?" Zhang Hao heard this and asked to confirm.  "Replying to Judge Zhang, that's exactly what happened." Knowing that he was now in the hands of Zhang Hao, Fan Chongwu treated him with great respect.  Zhang Hao looked at this guy, looked back at Ye Chang and said with a smile: "No wonder Ye Sima praised him as a lucky general. Sure enough, stupid people have stupid blessings. He originally made a big mistake, but now he has made great achievements  " Ye Chang was also a little dumbfounded. Hou Xiyi, one of the most cunning opponents he had ever encountered on the battlefield, actually fell into the hands of Fan Chongwu.  ¡°We¡¯ll capture Hou Xiyi first.¡± He glared at Fan Chongwu and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to Jian¡¯an Prefecture.¡±
