    The exhausted Hou Xiyi lay on his back, panting.  There were a lot of casualties around him. What made him unhappy was that none of the corpses here belonged to the enemy. They were all his subordinates.  There were at least seven or eight arrows stuck in each person's body. They were not killed in a head-on fight at all, but died from random arrows.  "Ah" A scream came from not far away, and Hou Xiyi knew exactly why. The enemy was searching the battlefield and giving the wounded sergeant a blow.  The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Hou Xiyi wanted to grab his knife and get up, but he lost too much blood and couldn't do this usually simple action.  "Ye Sima, this guy is Hou Xiyi." The voice came, very erratic, but Hou Xiyi still recognized that its owner was none other than Fan Chongwu. He had never regarded him as a little person who was playing tricks in his hands.  But it was this little person who ruined his big event. Hou Xiyi sighed in his heart and couldn't help but laugh.  "Still laughing, this guy is still laughing." Seeing him like this, Fan Chongwu hurriedly took two steps back. Thinking that something was wrong, he stood in front of Ye Chang, but was pushed away by Ye Chang.  "Give him a knife and send the first achievement to Yangjiaozigou." Ye Chang said coldly.  "Waitwait a minute" Hou Xiyi originally thought that he could face death calmly, but after hearing Ye Chang's order, he couldn't help but speak.  He tried his best to raise his head and glanced at Ye Chang: "Ye Sima?" "It's me." "Whywhy do you want to force me to a dead end?" "When the Khitan troops went south, you never made any move. I  The Khitans are driven away, but you come to seize the fruits of victory. If you don't kill you, how can you deter Fan Yang, Pinglu Army and the Governor of Anton?" Ye Chang said.  "That's the reason?" Hou Xiyi stared and murmured.  It was only then that he realized that his occupation of the big stone bridge had already doomed him to death.  He felt regretful, but there was no time left.  Fan Chongwu took Ye Chang's signal and chopped off Hou Xiyi's head with a knife, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart.  I am happy that I have finally paid my dues, but I am worried that Ayili's whereabouts are unknown.  But at this time, he didn't dare to say anything. He had suffered enough for Aili.  Hou Xiyi died in Jian'anzhou City. Following his first achievement, he was sent to Yangjiaozigou, and the Andong Protectorate's troops who had gathered there suddenly dispersed.  The determination shown by Ye Chang made them all have to think carefully. It was not easy to take advantage of Ye Chang.  They had to get support, and now, the support they were hoping for arrived.  Fan Yang Jiedu envoy An Lushan personally led the army and arrived at Liucheng. This news also reached Ye Chang, who built his own Anzhou and headed north, and then arrived at Anshi City.  When I arrived at Anshi City, I heard the news that An Lushan¡¯s envoy had been waiting in the city for a long time.  "What kind of person is he?" Ye Chang asked Cen Shendao.  "This person has an arrogant tone and is conceited about his talent and knowledge. According to someone's opinion, he is a person who becomes arrogant when he succeeds in his ambition." Cen Shen said.  Ye Chang laughed when he heard this. Although Cen Shen was not a good-tempered person, he rarely spoke so harshly and mercilessly. Since he said this, he must have been very angry with the envoy from An Lushan in the past few days.  "My name is Gao Shang, right? Let him come to see me." Ye Chang said.  Not long after, Gao Shang appeared in front of Ye Chang. This man was tall and arrogant. When he saw Ye Chang, he was arrogant and disrespectful. He said directly: "I came on the order of Dr. An, how can Mr. Ye not give me a seat?"  "You are nothing more than an envoy, how dare you ask for a seat?" Cen Shen said from the side.  Gao Shang smiled contemptuously: "How can you, a rotten Confucian scribe, still have a seat? A certain person who is ten times more intelligent than you can have no seat?" "Your first achievement is to be seated in a box, so why worry about not having a seat?" "That's why I say that.  You are just a rotten scholar who only knows how to intimidate you, and you have no real talent or knowledge at all." Gao Shang smiled: "If you want to achieve my first achievement, just come and be buried with me because of Ye Sima's life ambition. I am satisfied that you are Ye Ye.  Sima's staff plotted against him, but they didn't know whether to be ashamed or not." Before Cen Shen could refute, Ye Chang stopped him: "What's the use of arguing? If he wants a seat, just give him one."  Someone brought the horses over, Gao Shang didn't even say thank you, he took his seat proudly, and then he said: "Ye Sima has worked hard as a soldier. Dr. An specially sent me to express his condolences. At the same time, he also asked Ye Sima to go and report on his work." "That's wrong, Ye.  Sima belongs to the General Administration of Liaodong March, and Doctor An owns Fan Yang and Pinglu. They are not subordinate to each other. How can there be any reason to report on his duties?" Zhang Hao next to him laughed and said: "Doctor An, a military man, does not know that the imperial system is inevitable.  Since he is a member of Dr. An¡¯s staff, if he doesn¡¯t fill in the gaps, will he only speak loudly?¡±  Zhang Hao and Cen Shen have a good relationship, and they are both Ye Chang's right-hand men. Seeing Cen Shen being humiliated, Zhang Hao wants to vent his anger on him.  After he said these words, the noble man smiled suddenly: "The Duke must be Zhang Hao of Chang'an. I heard that the Duke is of noble nature, lying high in the city of Chang'an, and despising the princes in Xiaoaoquan Forest. I thought that the Duke was a master of the world, Wolong and Fengxia.  Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows, but without waiting for his answer, Gao Shang said again: "Just pick up the missing pieces and fill in the gaps, just ask the officials and subordinates to make strategic plans. It is not the talent of the king and his lack of knowledge."  "Don't talk too much, just stand back and listen to the high-level argument." Seeing that everyone was still quarreling with each other, Ye Chang waved his hand: "Is Gao Gong here just to establish his power with words?" Gao Shang smiled again: "Ye Sima  Everyone here wants to do it, so I have no choice but to do it. " This guy is not willing to take any risks with his mouth, but he is eloquent, so it is no wonder that he can persuade An Lushan and he became a success in a short time.  An Lushan plotted the master plan.  Ye Chang waved his hand again: "Doctor An, please tell me quickly what is the purpose of sending you here. If you want me to report on my work, there is no need to say any more nonsense." "Doctor An, please go to Liucheng to meet with Ye Sima.  Gao Shang was slightly startled, and then said.  The meaning is still the same as before, but the wording is slightly different.  Cen Shen sneered and said, "Why didn't Dr. An come to Anshi City?" "Doctor An has one hundred thousand athletes under his command, and the small Anshi City may not be able to accommodate them." Gao Shang said.  There was an implicit threat in his words, and Zhang Hao laughed when he heard this: "Doctor An is used to entertaining people with medicinal wine, and a hundred thousand athletes are not as good as medicinal wine." This is a mockery of An Lushan's incompetence. An Lushan once seduced the Khitans.  , Chief Xi Ren was having a banquet, and he drugged the wine. After drinking it, he couldn't move, so he cut off his first achievement and presented it to the court as a tribute to his military exploits.  Li Longji didn't know about this, but Zhang Hao, who had stayed in Liaodong for nearly half a year, knew everything about it.  "Doctor An cherishes the strong men and does not want to kill them in vain, which is benevolence. To lure captives for profit and to use the enemy's tricks is to be wise. To guard the border and suppress the captives is to be brave. To be diligent in one's duties and to dare to do one's work is to be brave.  To be loyal Ye Chang heard that they started arguing again, waved his hands for the third time and said: "Stay here, stay here, noble, are you here for Dr. An or for yourself?  " "I am Dr. An.  " "Then you go back to Dr. An, and I will meet him in the Liaohe River.  "Ye Chang said. "In the Liaohe River?  "Exactly, both sides prepared their boats and met in the river."  "Ye Chang said: "The time will be five days later.  Gao Shang knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible to invite Ye Chang to Liucheng. After all, there was a conflict between the two parties. If An Lushan used this as an excuse to arrest Ye Chang, Ye Chang would have no room for resistance.  In this way, meeting in the Liao River is an option. "Since Ye Sima said this, we will meet in the Liao River in the west of Anshi in seven days.  Gao Shang said. After agreeing on the specific meeting place, Gao Shang said goodbye and left. After he left, Zhang Hao said: "Why didn't Sima just ask us to argue with him?"  " "How can the three of you be such people who are lucky enough to rely on their words?" Ye Chang laughed and said: "There is always a kind of person in the world who makes others become as ignorant and ignorant as he is, and then defeats others with his rich experience.  At first Zhang Hao and others did not understand the meaning of Ye Chang's words. After a pause, it was Cen who stayed with Ye Chang for a long time. He burst out laughing first, and then Zhang Hao and Wang Changling also twisted their beards and laughed.  "I asked three people to help me because they are all practical people. Such noble people will have no place in my account." Ye Chang said again.  Gao Shang didn't know Ye Chang's evaluation of himself. He felt that he was quarreling with Cen Shen, Zhang Hao and Wang Changling, especially Zhang Hao and Wang Changling. One was quite talented in Chang'an City, and the other was called the Poet Emperor.  Folded in front of him, it made him feel light and airy when he walked.  It was just the spring breeze that made the horse's hoofs hurt. In just two days, he returned to Liucheng and came to see Anlu Mountain.  When An Lushan heard that he had returned, he immediately called him in to meet him.  After hearing what he said, he praised him a few times. When Gao Shang was smiling, An Lushan asked again: "Gao Shang, what do you think of Ye Chang?" Gao Shang hesitated for a while, then he  Although he was very proud of his mission, his understanding of Ye Chang made him feel solemn.  An Lushan didn¡¯t rush him, he just waited for him to speak.  "Ye Chang is a person who is hard to see through. If I have to tell you, I would try my best not to be his enemy." After a while, Gao Shang said.  "Oh, how can I see that?" "When I first arrived in Anshi City, Ye Chang was not in the city. While I was waiting for him, I found that his Jili army had high morale and was well-trained. It was really not inferior to Dr. An's account.  "This sentence made An Lushan change his mind a little. Gao Shang has been serving under him for a long time. At least he can tell whether the sergeant has fighting ability."The ability is still there.  If the Jili Army in Ye Chang's hands really has the combat effectiveness of Fan Yang and Pinglu Army, it would be terrible.  "How is this possible? Ye Chang has been in Jili Prefecture for less than two years. How could he possibly train such an elite soldier?" Someone next to him didn't believe it.  "Even if it is slightly inferior, it is not far behind. In fact, it is not a fluke that he was able to defeat the Khitan Diela tribe." Gao Shang said.  Others wanted to say more, and An Lushan waved his hand: "Gao Shang, please continue." "Yes. After Ye Chang came, I found that he was different from the rumors. According to the rumors, this person is narrow-minded and will retaliate. I  I deliberately humiliated him, but he remained calm. His richness was completely out of proportion to his age. According to rumors, he was eloquent and eloquent. I deliberately argued with his staff, but he was completely indifferent.  He acted boldly and risked his life, but I asked him to come to Liucheng, but he refused. This person contradicts the rumors. If the rumors are not wrong, he is very good at concealing himself." An Lushan chuckled.  , nodded: "Continue." "And from what I can see, he is a man with a firm mind that cannot be moved by words. He said he would meet Dr. An in the Liao River, and he was categorical. He is clearly a man who has made up his mind and will never waver.  "People who are talented, ambitious, and courageous are Dr. An's rivals." "Just now you said you should try not to be enemies with them, and now you say they are Dr. An's rivals. Why are you contradicting yourself?" someone asked.  "With my ability, I try my best not to be an enemy of him, but Doctor An wants to make contributions to the frontier, and even goes further to enter the prime minister's center, so this person is naturally a strong enemy of Doctor An." Gao Shang said solemnly: "I am not the leader of others.  "Zhiqi, even General Shi, may not be his opponent." General Shi is Shi Chaoyi. He is currently serving under An Lushan, but he led his own army and did not come to Liucheng.  The rest of An Lushan's subordinates felt a little dissatisfied when they heard Gao Shang praise Ye Chang so much, but An Lushan himself nodded repeatedly.  He looks rough on the outside, but is actually a man full of scheming.  Look at the problem much more profoundly than the generals below.  "I have met Ye Chang twice." An Lushan said: "The first time was in the second year of Tianbao. I was ordered to go to Beijing and passed by Xiuwu on purpose. I was going to find an excuse to kill him, but unexpectedly  With a noble lord present, he had no choice but to give up and send Liu Luogu to befriend him His courage at that time impressed me. " An Lushan himself understood why he had enmity with Ye Chang. It was nothing more than killing Liang Guo himself.  In the matter of Gong Gong, several Xi people tried to enter Chang'an to complain, but they were intercepted and killed by their own people on the way, but they happened to be bumped into by Ye Chang.  "The second time I met him was in Chang'an City. At that time, Li Julang met me and he was accompanying me. Li Julang was the most powerful person I had ever seen, but he was able to win his favor. In Li Julang's case,  He is also dignified and generous in front of him, without restraint. He is extraordinary and extraordinary." Although he praised Ye Chang in his mouth, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The more extraordinary Ye Chang was, the more threatening he was to him.  The bigger it gets.  In An Lushan's heart, the Anton Protector's Mansion was his private land where he could be rewarded for his meritorious service. Half of his wealth and power depended on this place.  One of the important reasons why the Xi people, Khitan people or other Hu tribes can run rampant here is that they are raising thieves to respect themselves. However, Ye Chang conquered half of the Andong Protectorate in a devastating manner. This made him incompetent, and secondly  It will also inevitably damage his long-term interests.  "The doctor must find a way to seize the position of general manager of the Liaodong March." Gao Zhuang reminded him.  Ye Chang was able to act unscrupulously in Liaodong simply because he was appointed by the imperial court as the Recorder of the Liaodong Marching Army to join the army.  If An Lushan gets the post of general manager of the Liaodong March, then Ye Chang will be his subordinate, and it will be much easier to manipulate him.  An Lushan nodded, convinced: "I first met Ye Chang in Liaohe River before talking about it.
