    Li Longji is not in Chang'an, so these prisoners will naturally not be taken to the capital.  It was the middle of winter, and how to deal with these 1,500 captives had become a problem.  Ye Chang coordinated with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Honglu Temple in advance. They were arranged at a Beijing Army horse farm in the northwest of Chang'an, where they set up temporary residences with wooden planks and tents.  Hearing that these big food prisoners were coming, many Chang'an rangers came here to watch the excitement.  Rangers like them tend to cause trouble. They are used to seeing food merchants, but they rarely see prisoners of war. Yuan Chao and Yuan Ying mingled among these rangers.  They brothers are all good at making friends with heroes and knights. This time they will stay in Chang'an for a while, so they naturally have to make friends.  They brought some money and spent generously, so after just a little time, many people around them started to call themselves brothers.  "Look at these big cannibals. They all have ugly beards and wrap themselves in cloth. What do they look like?" "I have seen Uighurs and even Persians, but I have never seen them so ugly.  The big cannibal Tut Tut Yuan Chao and Yuan Ying turned a deaf ear to the comments around them. The two brothers looked a little strange. Ye Chang didn't see them, and his concierge also beat Yuan Ying out. Regarding the two of them.  Said, this is a great shame and humiliation. Even if Ye Chang has never heard of their reputation and is unwilling to follow suit, it should not be like this. "They are all bachelors. People respect themselves as much as they respect others, but if others are insulted,  If he gets any points, he will try his best to overthrow him. Don't think that Yuan Chao is a small official, but he also has some illegal activities, otherwise he would not have anything to do with the men of the great pirate Wu Lingguang.  Opposite him is the world-famous Ye Chang, and the two of them don¡¯t have much fear. It¡¯s just a trivial matter. ¡°You tell me, why is Ye Zhizhou inviting people from all over the world these days?  When you come here to watch these big food prisoners, is it possible that you want to show off your martial arts?  "Someone asked. "You don't know something about this.  Another well-informed person laughed loudly: "I heard that Ye Zhongcheng is going to make a big deal." "Business?"  He is a dignified prime minister, but he still wants to do business. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the court?  " " Twenty years ago or so, it is different now. Among the powerful and important ministers in the imperial court, which one does not do some business activities? This trend was originally started by Ye Zhongcheng. He does business, so why is it strange?  Moreover, what he did was beneficial to the family and the country, and even those noble gentlemen who called money a thing were rarely criticized.  "The one who said business is humane. "That's because money makes a lot of money." Everyone laughed. Ye Chang's reputation among scholars was not good, but the strange thing was that Qingliu, a scholar, did not criticize him.  He. The reason is that Ye Chang donated money for education. I don¡¯t know how many students and teaching assistants in Chang¡¯an City took advantage of Ye Chang¡¯s financial support.  You can only turn a blind eye to some of Ye Chang's actions. This is true in any era. Most of those who have the right to speak have to give in to money and power. It is still good to remain silent, and some even do it.  He will also play two-faced tricks, verbally abusing those who can't really deal with him, but kneeling and licking those who give him money, Yuan Chao thought in his heart, and exchanged glances with Yuan Ying, "Don't go off topic.  Digressing from the topic, what we just said is clearly what Ye Zhongcheng wants to do with so many people. Aren't you talking about a big deal? What kind of big deal is it? Is it to sell people?  "After everyone laughed for a while, someone brought the topic back. "Exactly" the businessman slapped his thigh: "This matter is also related to Ye Zhongcheng's border policy theory for managing the border. As you know, in his border policy theory, he proposed to open up China's borders.  According to the law, merchants are asked to stockpile fields at the border and grow grain, cotton, linen, sugar cane, and supply the military supplies needed by the army nearby. They can also provide raw materials for the workshops run by the chamber of commerce.  But this requires a lot of labor, so Ye Zhongcheng is planning to sell these large quantities of food and river prisoners to use them as capital to build the Anxi Chamber of Commerce." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned: "It is indeed what Ye Zhongcheng is accustomed to do."  In the Tang Dynasty, it was common for Hu people to buy and sell slaves. Although the court repeatedly prohibited it, it was just a piece of paper. Moreover, the status of Hu people's slaves in the Tang Dynasty was extremely low, even compared to livestock, and they were not allowed to marry their husbands. Therefore, these Chang'an rangers did not care about this.  I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with this situation. ¡°Let¡¯s go, my brother is going to visit a friend who lives in seclusion in Nanshan.  "Hearing this, Yuan Chao said. "Your brother will leave alone.  "The knights in the capital smiled and sent them away. The two of them were not far away, and then wandered into a forest. Yuan Chao said in a deep voice: "Liu Lang, think about it clearly, do you really want to do this?  " "It's natural to do it. If I don't do this, I won't be able to understand my ideas." Yuan Ying sneered: "You don't even take our brothers seriously. Brother, we are well-known men in Taizhou. How many times have we"I've been through this kind of bad temper" "Okay, let's create some trouble for Mr. Ye."  "Yuan Chao also laughed. Unlike Yuan Yingxiao's ferocious look, Yuan Chao's smile contained a fierce aura. The two of them chatted without saying a word, not worrying at all that their actions might cause trouble. The sky was getting dark.  After coming down, looking at the torches burning in the prisoner camp from a distance, Yuan Chao waved his hand: "Okay, let's set off.  "In the prisoner camp, Ye Chang looked at the silent Ziad and sighed. "Finally, I told him that if he was willing to tell him what he knew about the Dashi military system, formations, drills, and competitions, I would  You can speak kind words for him in front of the emperor, and his wealth and honor are indispensable in Chang'an City.  Maybe one day, he can return to his hometown.  "The translator jabbered and translated Ye Chang's words into Da Shiyu, but Ziad remained expressionless and said nothing. "If that's the case, then forget it.  "Seeing that the last persuasion was ineffective, Ye Chang stood up immediately. He had spent a day here, in addition to meeting those who were interested in purchasing slaves, and persuading Ziad. He stood up and left before walking to  At the door, I heard Ziad say: "Are you going to make us your slaves?  "    "what did he say?  "This was the first time that Ziad spoke, and Ye Chang asked the interpreter. After the interpreter came over, Ye Chang sneered. It turned out that this guy didn't want to surrender, and he wanted to make him happy in vain. "As you think, you guys  You will spend the rest of your life in the farmhouse and pit edge farthest from Dashi. Don't worry, you will be a very valuable asset, and we will not let you die so early.  Ye Chang said lightly, and then went out. Ye Chang and his guards left, and he was the only one left in Ziad's wooden house. He raised his eyes and looked at the direction Ye Chang left, as if he was deep in thought. Because  Because of his status, he was not mistreated. Datang gave him a separate small courtyard and allowed him to keep a few personal soldiers. As night fell, Ziad came to the courtyard, looked at the horizon, and then shouted.  : "Khalid, come here." Khalid ran over, feeling a little confused. He was not Ziad's confidant originally, but after he became a prisoner, Ziad kept him by his side and talked to him from time to time.  . Khalid respected the general, but at the same time he was confused about his change. "Khalid, do you know why I treat you differently?  "Call Khalid over. The two of them were at the door. Ziad whispered. Several other soldiers were outside the courtyard, but Khalid was the only one here. He was not worried about others hearing his words. "I don't know.  "Khalid responded honestly. "Because you can speak Chinese language.  "Ziyad stared at him. "What?  " "Remember what I told you on the road, find a way to escape, look at this.  Ziad said as he took out a pocket. Naturally, all the weapons on his body were confiscated, but neither Li Siye, who captured him, nor Ye Chang, the commander-in-chief of the Tang army, took action on the personal belongings he carried. Therefore,  The small cloth pocket he took out was full of colorful gems. These were prepared by the kings of the river countries to bribe him. The gems were very precious, so they were carried by him. "You can speak the language of the Tang people. Bring them."  Take this, and after escaping, you can be said to be a gem merchant from our country. In this way, with these gems, you can survive in the Tang Dynasty. Find the right opportunity to return to our country and bring the things I asked you to remember.  The Tang people are our biggest enemies. How to defeat the Tang people should be brought to Governor Abu and the Abbasid Caliph. I hope that one day you can lead our army to this land. I really  I hope that when that day comes, I haven't died yet." Ziad said as he stuffed the small bag of gems into Khalid's hands. Khalid held the gems tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "General, God will bless you.  You, you will live long But now we are all prisoners, and the Tang people are guarding us very tightly. How can I escape?  " "Just like I thought, if the capital of any country has been peaceful for too long, the sergeants guarding the capital will always be a little slack.  Did you see today's handover? The subordinates of the young general from the Tang Dynasty handed us over to the garrison in the capital. However, these sergeants in the capital were all proud and arrogant, but they were far less vigilant than the border troops.  We will have a chance, you just need to be prepared," Ziad said. Khalid responded, a little doubtful in his heart, would they really have such a chance. In a village about ten miles away from this racecourse, a man with a body  The man in Taoist robes gently tapped the horse's back. He looked at the dozen or so riders around him and said with a smile: "Have you remembered everything clearly?  "Remember clearly, don't hurt anyone, just set fire."  ¡±  "That's it. What we have to do is to make our Ye Zhongcheng not be so proud, instead of offending him to death." The man raised his head and looked at the east: "Let's go." If it wasn't behind his back  Because of that person's insistence, he didn't want to launch this operation, but he couldn't resist that person, so he could only launch this operation symbolically.  "Your Highness, although the emperor seems to have changed his mind due to the news from the Hot Spring Palace, you are eager to destroy Ye Chang's favor, but such methods may not be really effective" Thinking about his past interactions with Ye Chang, this  The man who looked like a Taoist priest sighed slightly.  If he can follow his mind, he will really not be in trouble with Ye Chang. If he lets Ye Chang use it, he will be able to get a great help. However, if he intends to be hostile to Ye Chang, he will only add a terrible opponent to himself.  But the His Highness whom he served always listened to others' advice on other matters, but he could not listen to others' advice on the issue of Ye Chang.  This group of people followed the trail and approached the valley where the prisoners were placed from the southwest.  They were familiar with this road and came there often, so the ten miles journey only took half an hour. When they arrived, the stars were sparse and a crescent moon was already hanging in the sky.  They dismounted from a distance, removed all the flammable objects from the horses, and with their faces covered in black scarves, led by the Taoist, approached the valley.  A group of tents and wooden houses in the valley were the targets they were about to attack.  "Wait a moment, the southeast wind will pick up, and there will be clouds covering the moon in the sky." The Taoist priest looked at the sky and said slowly.  Everyone looked up at the sky. There were few stars in the moon and there were no clouds in the sky. There were no clouds covering the moon. However, this gentleman was highly respected by their Lord. Moreover, at a young age, he had already become famous and was known as the Crouching Dragon and the Crouching Dragon.  Feng Chu is a first-class person. There must be some basis for what he said.  In the northeastern mountain of the valley, the Yuan brothers have also arrived.  By the moonlight, the two of them stared at the camp in front of them on the mountain. By the firelight in the camp, they could roughly see the movements of the figures inside.  "It is said that Ye Chang can manage the army, but I think it is nothing more than that. Look, some people are drinking in the army, and the patrols are walking around in a mess. Ye Chang will definitely look good today." Yuan Chao smiled after looking at it for a while.  He couldn't tell the difference between the soldiers in the valley and Ye Chang's soldiers, so he mistakenly regarded these lax military disciplines of the Imperial Guards as Ye Chang's subordinates.  "What my brother is saying is, in my opinion, if people like Ye Chang can become famous generals, my brother and I can become famous generals among famous generals." Yuan Ying was even more unconvinced: "In just two moments, we can be so powerful.  Siyi, it seems that Ye Chang¡¯s name is all bragging about his brother. If we have a chance, we brothers will also become generals and marshals When the time comes, my brother will be the emperor and I will be the general." They met the emperor at Chang'an East Station.  I had always longed for the guard of honor, but now I was resentful and seeing the level of the imperial army, I couldn't help but speak arrogantly.  "Haha, we are talking behind our backs, don't mention these things in front of others." Yuan Chao heard his reckless words, smiled and shook his head.  At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the sky, and then, a faint cloud came from nowhere, covering the moon, and the surrounding area instantly darkened.  Although there was light from torches in the camp, it could illuminate the camp but not around them, so the two of them felt a little uncomfortable.  At the other end of the valley, there was a slight commotion.  When the Taoist priest mentioned Feng Youyun, it turned out to be Feng Youyun. They looked at the Taoist priest with something wrong in their eyes, but the Taoist priest himself said calmly: "Let's start, remember the location of the fodder No matter what the result is, after shooting,  "After the rocket, everyone will leave immediately with me." "Yes" everyone responded respectfully.
