"Sure enough, Ye Chang came to Liaodong, nominally to pay homage to his father-in-law Li Linfu. In fact, I'm afraid he came to Liaodong to cause trouble." While Ye Chang was talking about An Lushan, An Lushan was also talking about it. Ye Chang. In front of him, his mastermind Gao Shang was handing him the latest report: "According to the informant, Ye Chang should arrive in Lushun in the next few days. According to the news from Bohai Country, we are going to make a plan. First hand." After Ye Chang's rise in Liaodong, Bohai and Silla didn't care at first, but as time went by, these two countries became more and more aware that allowing Liaodong to develop would mean their shrinkage and death. Therefore, they searched for information about Ye Chang, including the feud between Ye Chang and An Lushan, which was also discovered by them. Bohai Kingdom and Anlushan were very close to each other, and there were frequent messenger exchanges between the two sides. The secret envoy who came this time, Yu Jian, made a suggestion to Anlushan, that everyone should carve up Liaodong together. "Old husband Li Linfu arrived in Lushun. To be honest, I really couldn't sleep well in the past few years. I was just afraid that one day a sergeant from Liaodong would suddenly break into my residence and ask me to give up my head." An Lushan was not wearing a hat on his head. , revealing three locks of his hair, he scratched the locks hard, and laughed: "It is true that Ye Chang can fight with scheming, but compared to Li Linfu's old husband, he is still young." He is really afraid of Li Linfu, Li Linfu As long as he lives, he will be frightened. In the past few years, Ye Chang has not been in Liaodong, but he is still honest and does not dare to take any action against Liaodong. The reason is Li Linfu. The few times he started to think about it, Li Linfu would send a messenger to "greet" him. The old traitor who couldn't even stand because of the wind disease made him feel that he was helpless everywhere. After learning the news that Li Linfu was dead, his first thought was to lie. He sent a condolence envoy to confirm the news. He was relieved. He patted his head more than once and told his subordinates that the head could finally stay safely on his neck. On. "Doctor's intention is to join hands with Bohai?" "Tell Da Qinmao that I can help each other." An Lushan sneered at the corner of his mouth: "This guy wants to trick Aye into working as his thug? I'm dreaming." "Doctor, Absolutely not, if we don't help each other, why don't we sit back and watch the Bohai Sea grow?" Gao Shang admonished, "I think we need to help, and we need to help Ye Chang." "Oh, why is that so?" An Lushan was a little unhappy when he heard this. "Although Ye Chang is good at fighting, he has previously won a small victory over the Khitan tribes in Liaodong, and he may have won or lost with Silla. However, neither Bohai nor Silla has mobilized the entire country to attack the previous victories in Liaodong, which were only on the border. It's just a small conflict with thousands or more than ten thousand people. This time is different. The entire Bohai army can get 200,000 soldiers, and the Silla army is no more than that. Ye Chang only has more than 20,000 soldiers in Liaodong. Even if they recruit, their strength will be less than 100,000. Moreover, if Ye Chang recruits 100,000 soldiers, the strength of Bohai and Silla will be 600,000. "That's pretty good." An Lushan was a little disdainful. The population of Bohae is only a few million, and the mobilization of 200,000 soldiers is no small matter. Bohae and Silla must mobilize 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers unless all the young and strong men in the country are mobilized. "Even so, there is no doubt that the number of people in Liaodong is sparse. Ye Chang has the ability of Zhuge Wuhou, but he cannot defeat enemies ten times his own with fewer enemies." "Then I shouldn't go. "I, these soldiers, are mine to work for him." An Lushan said: "He Ye Chang made a fortune in Liaodong. Seeing the wealth rolling in, when did he give me any benefits?" Gao Shang muttered in his heart, in fact, An Lu Shan has gained many indirect benefits from Liaodong. He resold supplies from the Andong Chamber of Commerce, charged passage fees for the Chamber of Commerce's caravans, purchased weapons directly from Liaodong, and sold the ores and captured prisoners of war to Liaodong. Without these, how could Anlushan have been able to support its current population? 180,000 troops "Doctor, please listen to me." Gao Shang paused, and then said: "We want to help Ye Chang, but we must pay attention to the timing of help. We will wait for Bohai and Silla to force Ye Chang back to Liaonan. After that, we will attack Bohai from behind. This way we can not only claim credit from the imperial court, but also take advantage of the situation to regain Ancheng Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture." An Lushan's eyes suddenly lit up. He coveted Jian'an Prefecture to the point of drooling. Ye Chang moved most of the craftsmen and equipment from the iron smelting workshop in Liaodong to Jian'an Prefecture City. He was fully aware of this matter. He even knew better than Li Longji and Yang Zhao in Chang'an City that the amount of steel produced in Jian'an City every year was 20 million kilograms of steel. The national steel production in the Tang Dynasty, before the rise of Liaodong, was only about two million kilograms. , now Liaodong alone has 20 million kilograms, ten times that of the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of the sufficient iron tools to use as tools that Liaodong has been developed so rapidly, and large areas of wilderness have been turned into fertile farmland. "After he is in our hands, does Ye Chang still have the nerve to go back?" Gao Shang said with a smile. An Lushan felt that this strategy was very suitable for him. It took advantage of all the advantages but not the risks.Big, as for a battle with Bohai State, the other party was already exhausted by that time, so just fight, what can you be afraid of? "Good plan, good plan, really good plan," An Lushan clapped his arms and shouted, but then frowned: "It's just that Ye Chang is cunning, how can he be so easy to deal with, Bohai and Silla are too stupid, too stupid, They should take advantage of Ye Chang's absence in Liaodong before taking action. ""Ye Chang is not in Liaodong, but in the center. If Ye Chang persuades the emperor to use the power of the entire Tang Dynasty to retaliate, how can Bohai and Silla afford it?" Gao Shang. But he disagreed: "It is better for Ye Chang to take action when he arrives in Liaodong. Ye Chang will not dare to leave" At this moment, someone from outside suddenly rushed in and knelt in front of An Lushan: "Doctor, there is an urgent envoy from Chang'an. "An urgent envoy from Chang'an?" An Lushan patted his fat belly with a cattail fan and raised his eyebrows. His excitement quickly cooled down: "What do you know?" "Urgent military situation, it is said that there is a rebellion. "The rebels are rebelling, what does that have to do with me?" An Lushan curled his lips. "It must be the news from Liu Luogu and Jiwen. Doctor, in my opinion, it's better to see him as soon as possible." Gao Shang said. Yan Zhuang next to him also nodded. The two major conspirators had the same opinion, and An Lushan ordered the urgent envoy to enter. Gao Shang's guess was correct, it was the envoy sent by Liu Luogu. An Lushan was quite a generous person. Although he had a son in Chang'an, the matters in Chang'an were mainly handled by Liu Luogu. "Meet the doctor." After the urgent envoy knelt down and bowed, he looked around: "This matter is very confidential" "It doesn't matter, I am surrounded by people under my command." An Lushan waved his hand. "Liu Gong said that there may be changes in the court." The urgent messenger said as he took out a wax pill from his personal clothes and handed it to Yan Zhuang in front of An Lushan. After Yan Zhuang checked that the fire paint was correct, he twisted the wax pill and exposed the silk inside. The silk was as thin as a cicada's wings. Although it was only a small ball, when unfolded, it was quite large. There were densely written writings on it. "What did Liu Luogu say?" An Lushan asked. "It's just a paraphrase of Ji Wen's words." Yan Zhuang read it hastily, with a look of horror on his face: "Ji Wen said that there will be a big change in the court." "I know, I know, what is going on?" Yan Zhuang then explained in detail that the conflict between the two people had become acute since three years ago, when Yang Zhao was misled by Ye Chang and burned Zhuangzi where Prince Li Heng was hiding. There have been rumors that Yang Zhao wanted to ask Yang Yuhuan to recognize the young prince in the palace as his son, and by using Yang Yuhuan's favor, he deposed Li Heng and appointed a new prince. This rumor even categorically states that Yong Wang Li Li is very likely to be the lucky one. An Lushan already knew about this, and through some channels, An Lushan and Li Heng were connected, so he frowned again. "However, the source of the chaos in Beijing is not this matter, but the gold tickets issued by chambers of commerce and banks that have become popular in recent years, especially the Luzon Chamber of Commerce, involving more than 100,000 people in the two capitals of Beijing and the capital, and the money involved exceeds one million Ji Wen has found out that the person behind the golden ticket is Yang Zhao, who used it to secretly make money to flatter the emperor. However, now he has accumulated more gold tickets. At first, he was tempting with high interest rates. It is no longer possible to issue high interest rates, so if it is as short as ten days and a half, or as long as one or two months, the Luzon Golden Ticket will definitely cause civil unrest. " "Hahahaha" An Lushan doesn't understand why this Luzon Golden Ticket will definitely cause civil unrest. The people were in chaos and just patted their thighs and laughed. He had a bad relationship with Yang Zhao, so he was naturally happy to see that Yang Zhao had made a mistake. "Doctor, don't laugh. There is something behind this matter." Yan Zhuang frowned: "Yang Zhao is trying to frame the blame. No one knows the person behind the Luzon Golden Ticket. It's just because he resembles the Anton Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the people all thought that it was Ye Chang who did it. If the Luzon Golden Ticket collapsed, Yang Zhao was hiding in the dark, but Ye Chang would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of public opinion." This was the original decision between Yang Zhao and Yi Yu's confidants. Ye Chang is famous for his good financial management. The most useful thing about him in Li Longji's eyes is that he can make money. But when Ye Chang's reputation for financial management was ruined and became a source of chaos, Li Longji would no longer trust him even if he was not punished. In Yang Zhao¡¯s view, losing Li Longji¡¯s trust means the collapse of Ye Chang¡¯s military capital system. By that time, Ye Chang¡¯s military capital system will be a piece of fat, waiting to be divided by the carnivores led by him. As a powerful prime minister, he will definitely get the biggest and fattest piece. After listening to Yan Zhuang's explanation of Yang Zhao's intention, An Lushan curled his lips and said: "Daydream". This is An Lushan's evaluation of Yang Zhao. Yang Zhao stayed in Chang'an for a long time, so he didn't know Li Longji's saint. Family members have always been an important condition for Ye Chang's military capital system, not the main condition, or even a necessary condition. "This is the second source of chaos in Beijing, and there is also the third source of chaos in Beijing." Yan Zhuang added: "Guanzhong and Henan are experiencing famine. In order to ruin Ye Chang's reputation, Yang Zhao connived at the annexation of land and switched to cotton planting. , so the people in Guanzhong and Henan are on the verge of death. Jiwen is here.It was discovered recently that the number of people resisting taxes and donations has increased by more than ten times compared to five years ago. You must know that five years ago, the dead ghost named Wang was the reporter of the capital and collected thirty years of donations at a time. "" Speaking of this, Yan Zhuang couldn't help but breathe. No one thought that under the appearance of the harmonious and prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, there was such a dangerous situation hidden in the fire. "Ji Wen is a careful and thoughtful person. "If he were the prime minister, he would be much stronger than the idiot Yang Guozhong." Because of the prophecy, Yang Zhao changed his name to Guozhong. Anlu Mountain was sometimes called Yang Zhao and sometimes Guozhong, which was also a matter of habit. "Doctor, this is a good opportunity, a God-given opportunity." At this moment, Gao Shang, who had read the letter carefully, stood up suddenly, almost raising his hands, and shouted to An Lushan, "What, the trouble for the court, although it is for me. I do have benefits, but how can I say it is a God-given opportunity? "Doctor, Ji Wen is here to say that if Guanzhong is shaken, the doctor may be asked to send his troops to the capital to serve the king - this is not a God-given opportunity, what is this?" Gao Shang said: "If you can enter the center, the doctor can be prime minister together with Ji Wen." , Why bother to fight with Ye Chang for this corner of Liaodong? " "What do you mean?" "The doctor forgot that Ji Wen was secretly befriended by Yang Guozhong in recent years. "It's powerful, but Yang Guozhong is not Li Linfu after all, and he can't shake the foundation of the prince." Gao Shang looked around and confirmed that they were all An Lushan's cronies, and then continued: "Doctor, you still don't understand what the prince expressed before?" "He?" The meaning" How could An Lushan not understand at this time that Liu Luogu's secret letter should have been sent at Jiwen's request, and Jiwen did it under the hint of Prince Li Heng Yang Guozhong Although he couldn't suppress the prince, Li Heng couldn't wait any longer. He himself was over forty years old. If Yang Zhao jumped up and down and really let Yang Yuhuan succeed in accepting a young prince as his heir, then he How can this prince's position be kept? And judging from the current situation, Li Longji's health seems to be better than that of the prince. Maybe Li Longji will live to be eighty years old, but he will only die at the age of fifty. "What the prince means is to imitate today's As you did back then, please be promoted to the throne now." Gao Shang sneered and said: "The biggest problem with Yang Guozhong is that he thinks he is very powerful, so he made too many enemies at the same time. He provoked the resentment of the people of the two capitals against Ye Chang. Originally, it was In order to get rid of Ye Chang, he never thought that if these grievances were channeled, he would not be able to protect himself. And if chaos broke out in the capital, how could the imperial guards in the capital be able to protect the emperor? , we must call in the border town and King Qin. Although we are not closest to the capital, as long as the prince uses some methods, those who enter the capital first will not be able to succeed. In the end, we still need these 180,000 elite soldiers in the hands of the doctor." Gao Shang said At this point, he exchanged a look with Yan Zhuang, and both of them became excited. They all understood what the other party meant, and An Lushan also understood what they meant, but the unsaid words were not suitable to be spoken now. " If An Lushan's 180,000 elite soldiers are really allowed to enter the pass, then they can retreat and hold the emperor in command. They can use the power of the Central Plains to suppress the rebels on the four sides, thus achieving Cao Cao's achievements. Go in that's expensive
