On October 15th, the fifth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, light snow suddenly came, making people realize that winter has arrived. However, this year's winter came later, and the Liaohe River is now only a little thin in the early morning, and it has completely melted in the morning, without affecting the navigation of ships here. An Lushan was sitting on a boat, wearing a raincoat, looking at the east bank of the Liao River, and all he could see was vastness. "Ye Chang is quite interesting. He has been busy moving the people of Anshi City to the south these days. In this weather, I don't know how many people will die on the way." Gao Shang beside him said with a smile. They were very happy to learn that Ye Chang had moved south, which to some extent revealed Ye Chang's plan. An Lushan smiled and turned to the young man in front of him: "Li Huaiyu, you have to recognize Ye Chang later." That young man was Hou Xiyi's Goguryeo cousin Li Huaiyu. He was ordered to go for help, but Although An Lushan mobilized troops and horses to Liucheng, it was too late. Hou Xiyi had been defeated and died. Li Huaiyu originally looked down upon his cousin, but he was grateful for his kindness in letting him escape, so he vowed to avenge him. Although he was young, he was strong, strong and brave, and An Lushan intended to make him a My own drag falls into the river, so I keep it with me and listen to it. "Thank you, Doctor An" Li Huaiyu gritted his teeth after hearing An Lushan's instructions. "This guy is so rude. The time is coming soon, but he hasn't appeared yet," An Lushan said. "How long is it until noon?" An Lushan asked. "There is still a moment." "Keep waiting If we can wait until we are satisfied with the result, what's the harm in staying a moment longer?" An Lushan said. Naturally, they will not come alone. Not far behind the An Lushan ship, there are more than twenty ships of different sizes. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement on the east bank of the river. An Lushan frowned. Just when he was wondering if Ye Chang was playing tricks on him, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Here we come." But the boat did not come from the east bank. But came from the lower reaches of the Liao River. An Lushan looked up and felt a shiver in his heart: It was a big ship. This ship was bigger than the ship An Lushan was riding on, but it didn't have several floors of ship buildings, so it didn't appear to be tall. Seeing that the boat was going upwind and not very fast, An Lushan shook his head slightly: "I heard that Ye Chang was building sea-going ships at the Lushun shipbuilding yard. Could it be that this is what he built?" Gao Shang looked at the ship intently and felt a little uncomfortable. Explanation, this ship seems not suitable for use as a warship. Although the boat was slow, it gradually got closer. Soon it was keeping pace with the Anlushan boat, and then anchored at the berth and stopped. Although the boat An Lushan was on was not as big as the other boat, it had three floors, so he could look down from a high position. Looking at the boat, he saw that the waterwork on the boat was very skilled. Although it was busy, there was no chaos at all. Then I saw a group of people walking out of the cabin, and the leader was Ye Chang. Ye Chang raised his head and looked this way, and saw An Lushan looking down from the side. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Dr. An." "Ye Sima is really hard to find." An Lushan laughed loudly and said, "I have to say goodbye to Chang'an. I am very relieved to see you again today." " "I am very relieved to see that Dr. An is fine. "Ye Chang smiled and said: "Doctor An summoned me to see you, what are your instructions? " "No hurry, no hurry. When I saw Ye Sima in Chang'an City, I felt like we were old friends. Today we are not in a hurry to talk about business. We might as well talk about our farewells first" Ye Chang cursed in his heart, and you What kind of love does this fat man An have to tell me? But since An Lushan said this, he didn't want to appear to be in a hurry, so he smiled and said: "Doctor An wants to tell me his love, but I don't know how to express it? " An Lushan smiled and said nothing. At this time, Gao Shang next to him stretched out half of his body and said condescendingly: "I heard that Ye Sima is good at poetry. Wang Changling next to him is known as the emperor of poets, and Cen Shen is also famous for his poetry. Today, Dr. An and Ye Sima met. It was a very special meeting. I asked Ye Sima to write a poem to congratulate Dr. An." Hearing Gao Shang's words, Wang Changling and Cen Shen were furious. In Gao Shang's words, they regarded Ye Chang as After seeing the Qingke, literati, gangsters and others around Anlushan, Gao Shang was in Anshi City that day, so he had the upper hand with his words. At that time, Ye Chang did not argue with him. He still wants to do what he did then. Without waiting for Wang Changling and Cen Shen to speak, Zhang But Hao smiled and said: "Yes Sima waved his sword northward, Khitan Dilie Khan was defeated, and the rebel general Hou Xiyi was given the title of Jian'an. Such achievements should be praised. I heard that Dr. An is good at the Hu Xuan dance. Now Dr. An's boat is like a high platform, just in time to perform the Hu Xuan dance to congratulate Yesima." Wang Changling and Cen Shen both turned their anger into joy. Although Gao Shang was sharp-tongued, Zhang Hao was not inferior to him at this time. Gao Shang ridiculed Ye Chang for being a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Hao mocked An Lushan for being a dancer. Zhang Hao's counterattack was so sharp that Gao Shang was stunned for a moment and felt that Zhang Hao seemed completely different from An Lushan at that time. Lushan heard this and smiled and said: "I am Hu Xuanzhi"?, Zhiwu watched with the emperor and his concubine. Ye Sima wanted to see him, but he was afraid that he would have to go to the Chang'an Palace. " He said that he was not ashamed of the dance musicians. Instead, he felt that he could dance in front of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, which earned the emperor's trust and respect. When he said this, Gao Shang couldn't say anything he wanted to retort, and just swallowed it. He turned back, feeling so depressed that the blood was surging in his chest. He couldn't help but sigh: "Doctor An, how could you say that? "What Dr. An said has its own reasons. It's noble. Don't be too rude." Yan Zhuang In the side road, Gao Shang could only shake his head again. An Lushan chuckled and squinted at Ye Chang to see how he would respond. However, Ye Chang would not compete with him for the position of the jester, and said with a smile: "Doctor An's words are very good Now that the farewell has been said, why don't Dr. An return to the topic?" "Since you can't wait, then I want to Let me ask you, what is Hou Xiyi's crime, that he was harmed by your evil plan? "The smile on An Lushan's face disappeared, his face was as heavy as iron, his eyes were as cold as stars, and he stared at Ye Chang, like a ferocious beast, about to pounce and bite people. " It is true that Hou Xiyi is the assistant general of the Andong Protectorate. He has fought in the frontier for many years and has made great achievements. Doctor An is about to recommend him. Yes Sima, you kill the general without permission. Could it be that you regard the laws of the Tang Dynasty as nothing and treat Doctor An as nothing? Are you treating the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as if he is nothing?" Gao Shang thought this was another opportunity and immediately jumped out and shouted again. Before Ye Chang could answer, he heard cries from the bow of the ship from Anlu Mountain. A young man appeared on the side of the ship, pointed his halberd finger at Ye Chang, and yelled: "Bitch thief, you immoral and incompetent man." "Kill my brother, harm my soldiers, take away my merits, ruin my side affairs, Ye Chang, you are a beast inferior to a pig or a dog." Ye Chang didn't say anything, and winked at Nan Jiyun. Nan Jiyun understood, and suddenly Raise your hand and shoot an arrow. The crossbow he was holding was Zhang Nu, which had already been strung up. Moreover, he was at the other end of the boat. Everyone's attention was entirely on Ye Chang and they did not notice him. The guards around An Lushan noticed him and were busy guarding An Lushan. Therefore, Nan Jiyun loosened the crossbow, the string sounded shrill, and the arrow shot out of the air. Li Huaiyu was crying and cursing at Ye Chang. It was too late when he heard the sound. The arrow penetrated through his neck. His cursing suddenly stopped, and he was stunned for a moment on the boat. In front of An Lushan, he thought he was very safe, but he never thought that Ye Chang would shoot him dead without hesitation. He leaned forward, fell from the side of the ship, and fell with a thud. After entering the water, a faint trace of blood appeared on the water. "Bold" "Unbridled" "Damn" As Li Huaiyu fell into the water, An Lushan's ship was in chaos. More than ten shields protected An Lushan and others, while dozens of soldiers in the cabin rushed out, pointing bows and arrows at Ye Chang's boat was waiting for An Lushan's order, and he was about to shoot. An Lushan was shocked and angry in his heart. He stared at Ye Chang with murderous intent in his eyes. "The noisy people are gone. Now we can talk about Anshi Prefecture with Dr. An." The corners of Ye Chang's mouth rose, but he smiled calmly. "Ye Chang, what do you mean?" Ye Chang's expression made everyone on An Lushan's boat at a loss. After a while, Gao Shang asked sharply. "Hou Xiyi dares to come to my tiger's mouth to seize food. He is asking for death. His entire army is wiped out, and only his cousin Li Huaiyu escapes. I have long wanted to kill this little thief to frighten Xiaoxiao. Today, Dr. An sent him here, but I was disrespectful. , I have no choice but to take his life." Ye Chang said calmly. Gao Shang was still waiting to speak, but he felt his throat was tight and his voice was astringent. He only made a vague purring sound, and then he didn't know what to say. In addition to shock, there was also fear in his heart. Ye Changyan's intention was very clear. If he dared to offend him, even if he hid with An Lushan, he would find a way to take his life. Li Huaiyu was brought here by An Lushan, originally as a victim to testify against Ye Chang, but he was shot and killed with a look from Ye Chang. This proves at least two points. One is that Ye Changming was quick-witted and expected that Li Huaiyu would appear. , make such an arrangement early; secondly, Ye Chang will definitely retaliate. This kind of temper is better than the rumors, and even more domineering than An Lushan, who is famous for his domineering. It is true that Li Huaiyu offended Ye Chang, but didn't he offend Ye Chang for his nobleness? ? Whether it was when he was on the mission that day or when he was just arguing, his humiliation to Ye Chang was far worse than that of Li Huaiyu. Ye Chang can make people shoot Li Huaiyu, can't he be noble? An Lushan's eyes flashed with fierceness. Ye Chang shot Li Huaiyu under such circumstances, which aroused the anger in his chest. He almost couldn't control his temper and ordered a fight to the death with Ye Chang, but although he was brutal and violent, he also had the cunning of a fox. Ye Chang dared to be so unscrupulous, how could he not have anything to rely on? Force yourself to calm down, An Lu Shan could feel his hands trembling, and Yan Zhuang beside him whispered: "An Gong, Doctor An, control your anger, control your anger." After a while, An Lushan finally controlled himself, and he said coldly: "Ye Chang , what do you want to say, directly?Come on. " "Five days later, Doctor An came to take Anshi City. "Ye Chang said: "Congratulations to Dr. An." An Lushan frowned and said: "That's it? " "There is also a thousand first achievements, which are left with Doctor An to reward his subordinates. Ye Chang said with a smile: "I would like to thank Doctor An for sending this little thief Li Huaiyu to me." " "Only? " "That's enough. The next step is what Dr. An can give me. " Before An Lushan spoke, Yan Zhuang next to him whispered: "Doctor An, ask him what he wants." "Do you think we should accept what he sent? " "It should be collected, of course it should be collected, killing the enemy and regaining the ground, this is a great achievement, and I am most pleased with the side work. Dr. An has made this contribution, why worry about no reward in the palace? " "Aren't you afraid that these achievements are poisonous bait? "An Lushan has always been greedy, but today he has to be cautious. "After all, Ye Chang just ordered the shooting of Li Huaiyu, which shocked him too much. He has always regarded human life as nothing, grinding his teeth to suck blood and kill people. Ru Ma, it can be seen that when someone is more ruthless and decisive than him, the fear in his heart is also extraordinary. "I don't think it is a poisonous bait. Ye Chang has taken Jian'an Prefecture and has made great achievements in opening up the border. One more prefecture and one less one." One state means nothing to him. Could it be that with one more state, the court would give him the post of general manager of the Liaodong March? "Yan Zhuang's eyes flashed and he whispered quickly: "The same is true for the first achievement. This time he defeated the Die La tribe and captured and captured only nearly ten thousand people. What does the first achievement of more than a thousand count? " An Lushan was still hesitating, and Yan Zhuang said again: "I asked the doctor to ask him what he wanted, and it was for this reason. If he just gave up Anshi City and Shouji like this, there might be some fraud in it, but if He has other plans, so the possibility of fraud is extremely small. " A person next to him heard this and felt that it was not the case. He couldn't help but interjected: "Doctor, no, if this is the case, if Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu died in the hands of Ye Chang, wouldn't they not be held accountable? Doing this will chill the hearts of the officers and soldiers." "Otherwise, the people that Doctor An relies on are the Fan Yang and Pinglu armies, and Hou Xiyi is a general of the Andong Protectorate. Although he is under the command of Doctor An, he has always been arrogant. , quite dissatisfied. Many of his comrades were at odds with me and others. They took advantage of Ye Chang's help to get rid of their rivals and took the opportunity to install generals loyal to Dr. An and annex his subordinate soldiers. At this time, "Yan Zhuang Yin" Smiling, An Lushan felt that what Yan Zhuang said was very reasonable, nodded, and then raised his voice: "What do you want? Ye Chang laughed. The fact that An Lushan was willing to say this proved that he was already moved. "What I want is beneficial to both me and Dr. An." "Ye Chang said. "Oh? " "Doctor An should know about the Anton Chamber of Commerce. "Ye Chang said slowly: "This is a joint venture run by the ladies of the capital. Ye is just the middle manager of this matter. He must earn enough money every year to pay the dividends to the nobles of the capital. " An Lushan not only knew about the Andong Chamber of Commerce, but also knew its inside story very well. This organization with a weird reputation was behind most of the powerful and powerful forces in the Tang Dynasty. Even Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan benefited from this chamber of commerce. " Ye Sima Pang's skills are just mediocre, but I admire your ability to make money. "An Lushan also said bluntly. "What I want is that the Andong Chamber of Commerce caravans can trade freely under Dr. An's jurisdiction. If Dr. An is willing to send troops to protect him, I must speak well of Dr. An to the nobles in the capital. Moreover, Dr. An¡¯s efforts must not be in vain. "Ye Chang said with a smile.
