    Yuan Ying pursed her lips and looked at the sixteen people following behind her.  Ever since Tianbao saw the weakness of the Tang Dynasty in the eleventh year of his reign, he and his brother Yuan Chao have spent half a year every year traveling around the world and making friends with heroes from all walks of life.  Yuan Qing on Huainan Road and Chen Zhuang on Jiangnan West Road are just the "heroic" figures they have made friends with, but these are only marginal areas, what's more important is here.  Henan Road.  This is the heart of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the richest place in the Tang Dynasty. The tax-paying grain population accounts for a huge proportion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.  If there is chaos here, the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos. If there is loss here, the Tang Dynasty will be lost. Yuan Chao likes to study and is literate and can read. He has read several books by Ye Chang attentively.  Although they were not ashamed of Ye Chang for not recognizing or valuing heroes, they never denied Ye Chang's abilities. Therefore, after Yuan Chao saw Ye Chang's analysis of the situation in the Tang Dynasty in "The Wealth of Nations", he felt that he  Got the strategy to start an uprising.  It flourished on all sides and settled in the Central Plains.  "You all know the news. My brother, Fang Qing, and Chen Zhuang have launched an attack, and they will soon cross the Yangtze River and head straight to Henan Road. What you have to do now is to join me in raising troops to respond. I will wait first  Being able to capture Luoyang is just like when Wagang's army captured Xingluo Cang, opened the money valley gathered in Luoyang to raise money for the hungry people, and welcomed the arrival of my brother's army." The more than ten people around him all showed excited expressions: "It should be so."  "The troops in Guanzhong were originally insufficient, but now they are all deployed to attack my brother and others. What we are waiting for is this opportunity. There are only a few thousand weak soldiers in Luoyang City. Even with the officers and strong people, the number is less than 20,000, and they are all  There has been no battle, you all go back now and make the momentum bigger. Within a month, I will have 300,000 people roaring outside Luoyang City." After Yuan Ying gave the order, everyone agreed with enthusiasm.  But there was one person who was a little hesitant. Seeing his hesitation in the eyes of everyone, Yuan Ying was a little unhappy: "Xiang Zhongchen, you are hesitant, are you worried about something?" "Um Brother Yuan, there is something."  , I don¡¯t know whether to say it or not.¡± ¡°We are all brothers who cut off chicken heads and drank blood wine together. If you can¡¯t say anything, just say it.¡±  Let's besiege Luoyang" Yuan Ying's complexion suddenly changed, and she was irritated. She wished she could go up and slap Xiang Zhongchen twice, and tell him not to open any pot.  How could he not know that there was something wrong with the timing?  But what can he do? They originally took Ye Chang to go to Liaodong to pay homage to Li Linfu. They thought that Ye Chang had taken a long leave and would stay in Liaodong for half a year. If not, he might never return to the Central Plains again. Who knew?  Ye Chang didn't even stay in Liaodong for two months, so he hurried back to Luoyang. When they knew the news, Yuan Chao and others had already launched an uprising, and Yuan Ying herself had arrived in Henan Road and summoned everyone.  got up.  "The situation is like riding a tiger, there is no room for retreating. Now only by being brave and diligent can we defeat the enemy." After gathering her composure, Yuan Ying looked around and found that the expressions of the powerful heroes were also a little strange.  Obviously, Ye Chang's reputation for being invincible in more than ten years has made everyone fearful.  "Ye Chang is a disciple of Medicine King Immortal. It is said that he knows magic." Someone couldn't help but whisper in a low voice. "Have you heard about this? My hometown is very close to Xiuwu. I heard that Xiuwu said that he  There are always immortals and diamond guards around" "Nonsense." Yuan Ying did not dare to let them continue to talk nonsense, which would ruin his own plan. He interrupted everyone, and then sneered: "Ye Chang is in Luoyang, that is the best.  "Why did Brother Yuan say that?" "Think about it, why are the people in the Central Plains so poor and have no place to stand? It's just that those powerful people took away all the people's fields for cotton weaving. Who is this?"  Chang can also say that Ye Chang is the enemy of the hungry people in the Central Plains. As long as he makes this clear to the people, who will not hate him to the bone? He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. If the people are willing to be of the same mind as me, how can we not win the world?  When the time comes, brothers, kings and nobles, wouldn¡¯t it be beautiful?¡± Under the pressure of Yuan Chao over the years, Yuan Ying has also learned a lot, so it makes sense to say it, and everyone nodded.  But Xiang Zhongchen was still hesitant. Yuan Yingyuan didn't want him to say anything anymore, but the person next to him urged: "Xiang Tuozi, if you have anything else to say, say it and let Brother Yuan Wu clear up your doubts." "Ye Chang  , the world's good generals, Liaodong, Zhinan, and Anxi, are invincible wherever they go. We Fifth brother, let me tell the truth, don't blame you. Although we are conceited about our bravery, after all, we have never been to the frontier.  , He has never really commanded thousands of troops in battle, will we be his opponent?" Everyone looked at Yuan Ying again, waiting for his response. Yuan Ying secretly let out a breath, this question, after he learned about Ye  After Chang returned to Luoyang, he had been thinking about it, so he was able to answer: "Brother Xiang is right, but this is our opportunity. If"Ye Chang is in the frontier and has returned with tens of thousands of frontier tiger and wolf troops. Even if we have several times the strength, we may not be able to defeat him in a hurry."  But that's not the case now. Now Ye Chang is just in Luoyang to appease the people, and he doesn't have elite soldiers in his hands. With just those soft-footed shrimp-like officers and soldiers, how can one be equal to ten?  What's more, in Luoyang City, there is also our internal agent Ye Chang, who was originally our great enemy. Taking advantage of the fact that he does not have a strong force to capture him this time, wouldn't it eliminate a future trouble?  " He paused for a moment, then continued: "Besides, Ye Chang has a great reputation. If we capture him, the officers and soldiers from all over the world will definitely be afraid of us. Moreover, he is rich in the three major chambers of commerce. If we can capture him, we will be afraid of the three major chambers of commerce."  Don't you pay our military wages obediently?  With the money provided by the three major chambers of commerce, even if we use Kaiyuan Tongbao to smash it, we can knock Li Longji off his throne in Chang'an City. From now on, these three major chambers of commerce will be the private property of our brothers. Listening to this, everyone is like  The joy and worry in my heart were swept away by the desire for power and wealth.  ¡°It must be said that this is also the role that Ye Chang has played in promoting people¡¯s desire for wealth intentionally or unintentionally in recent years.  Ye Chang's original plan was to stimulate the people's desire for wealth, so that they would dare to expand outward and look for gold and silver beyond the mountains, Gobi and vast seas, thus promoting the further expansion of China.  As a result, he planted a dragon seed, but a monster grew out. Before the monster extended its claws, it rushed towards its mother body crazily.  Under Yuan Ying's repeated encouragement and promises, these powerful men made up their minds and went to gather people without mentioning them.  It was already mid-October of the 14th year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty. The weather was getting colder. Although there was great chaos in the southeast, the 20,000 imperial troops sent by the imperial court to conquer Luoyang left Luoyang. There were only a few troops left in Luoyang City, but the people in the city were very depressed.  Stable, the whole city is in order.  There is no other reason, it¡¯s just that Ye Chang is in charge.  "The imperial court is really confused. It has its own generals, but they dare not use them. They use the border generals to command the Imperial Army. The generals do not know each other and the soldiers have little training. This expedition may not be profitable." Ye Chang is here.  The temporary residence in Luoyang was located in the Grand View Garden. Liu Changqing and Ye Chang were sitting on their knees opposite each other. Li Jilan was serving tea to them next to them. The light green tea was fragrant. Liu Changqing took a deep sniff and looked up at Ye Chang.  If you say Ye Chang is elegant, he is keen on secular affairs. If you say Ye Chang is vulgar, he is also excellent in poetry, wine, tea and other elegant things.  Liu Changqing and Ye Chang have not seen each other for nearly ten years since they parted ways. During these ten years, he has been working as a subordinate, struggling in an unsatisfactory position, and has never had a chance to show his talent.  Opposite him is Ye Chang, who has made a career out of a situation that was not expected by everyone at the beginning. Not only has the Anton Chamber of Commerce become the richest in the world, but he has also made outstanding achievements in the three frontiers.  Even Cen Shen and Wang Changling, who were also frustrated at the time, are now under Ye Chang's supervision. Although Du Fu is not under his supervision, he can run the "Min Bao" and make a splash in the government and the public, and it is Ye Chang's help.  These changes made Liu Changqing very emotional. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know what to say.  Seeing that Liu Changqing was a little distracted, Ye Chang stopped mentioning military and state affairs, and instead talked about old friends they both knew: "Brother Changling is in Liaodong now. Although he is nearly sixty years old, he is very energetic. Mr. Liu is free.  You might as well go to Liaodong to meet him. " "I have heard for a long time that Liaodong is changing day by day, and Lushun is a new famous city. Changqing has long wanted to visit, but he is afraid that Brother Changling is busy and is not used to the wind and waves, so he cannot go."  After calming down, he said slowly: "It's a pity that Li Gong." Li Gong refers to Li Qi. He is the older among them and has passed away in old records.  This made Ye Chang feel very sorry. Among Luoyang's old friends, Li Qi was actually one of the people with whom he had the most favorable rapport. Even Du Fu and others could not compare with him. When he first proposed the strategy of managing the frontier, Li Qi fully supported it.  He even persuaded Li Bai and Cen Shen to go to Hequ with him.  "There is also Zhang Gong, who has not seen today." Zhang Xu also passed away. He passed away when Tianbao was nine years old.  "It's okay if I don't see you, because Zhang Gong is upright, he will be angry." Liu Changqing recalled the beginning and sighed with emotion.  "Yes, originally there were flowers in bloom, but in a blink of an eye the rain and wind blew them away" Ye Chang sighed.  "There are treacherous ministers in the court, so there is no peace in this domain. Mr. Ye should be the mainstay of the court. He should drive out the evil spirits and restore righteousness. This is the time when the people of the world need Mr. Ye to turn the tide." Liu Changqing knelt down and straightened his body, and said to Ye Chang seriously: "Mr. Ye  , I didn¡¯t dare to ask for an audience at first, but I just heard the ditty composed by Mr. Ye the day before yesterday, so I came here to pay my respects. I hope that Mr. Ye will take the people in mind and not have the heart to retreat bravely. "" Ditty?" Ye Chang was a little surprised and knelt down beside him.  Li Ye, who was lying down, glanced at it and then remembered that he had drank a few more drinks because of a heavy heart a few days ago, so he sang "Linjiang Immortal" in front of Luoshui outside in the north tower of the Grand View Garden.  Li Ye was with him at that time, so I think she heard it.  "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward" Although it is a bit wrong to sing the Yangtze River on the banks of Luoshui River, at this time, "Yangtze River" is not the proper name for the Yangtze River in later generations, nor is it used to describe the Yellow River.?No.  Ye Chang felt somewhat embarrassed and explained: "This is not what I did. When I was conquering Luo Feng, I heard people singing on the Lu River and learned it. Now I am just a commoner, how can I talk about poetry and music?"  Ye Chang stopped copying poems in 1998. He had passed the time when he needed to copy poems to invite names.  Liu Changqing smiled when he heard his explanation: "Ye Gong did not write poetry, so the poetry world has lost a great master. However, Ye Gong is not a vulgar thing. He is just responsible for the lives of tens of millions of people and has no time to spare." Liu Changqing  Advising Ye Chang not to think about escaping as a fisherman and woodcutter is just a stepping stone. Ye Chang knows his real thoughts very well.  Now that he is no longer young, he will no longer be able to make contributions, and there will be nothing left in this life except the name of his poems.  "As I said just now, I am not optimistic about the generals sent by the imperial court to conquer the chaos this time. Although Cheng Qianli is a famous general, the imperial army in the capital is not a frontier army. If he is a Xu Xutu thief and wants to get familiar with it after fighting a few small battles, then that's fine  He can still win. But Yang Guozhong is in the court, how can he be allowed to take it easy? "Ye Chang said: "What do you think I expected?" Liu Changqing paused and did not answer immediately.  This is Ye Chang's test of his knowledge and ability to analyze problems. If he doesn't answer well, this opportunity will be wasted.  In the early years, Ye Chang was short of people around him, so people like Cen Shen, Gao Shi, Wang Changling, etc. were recommended and reused by him. Even Li Bai, who was very talkative, has now become the governor of a county.  Has quite a reputation.  However, since the first batch of Lushun Academy students graduated in the eleventh year of Tianbao, Ye Chang has more and more available manpower.  He would rather let a young man from an academy make mistakes in his position than use those so-called mature and prudent old-style literati.  Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult to stay by Ye Chang's side. If Liu Changqing hadn't had an old relationship with Ye Chang, and if Li Ye had been whispering good things about him, Ye Chang would never have arranged this private meeting.  Liu Changqing knew it himself, so after reorganizing his thoughts, he raised his head and said: "Since Mr. Ye feels that Cheng Qianli's expedition is not optimistic, he should be prepared." "How to prepare?" "Cheng Qianliruo  If defeated, there will no longer be enough troops from Huainan Road to Henan Road, and the bandit army will sweep in, capture Chenliu first, and then invade Luoyang. Ye Gong should report to the Ming court and recruit troops in Luoyang.  This is to stop the rebel army. "This is a satisfactory response. With Chen Liu to defend the city, although the number of troops is smaller, there is no risk of failure.  Ye Chang nodded, then shook his head: "If one part of the bandit army surrounds Chenliu, another part takes Luoyang, and then incites civil unrest in Henan and Hebei, what can we do?" Liu Changqing suddenly felt a little confused on his face.  Fever, it was obvious that Ye Chang was not satisfied with his countermeasures.  Military affairs was not his specialty, so he was silent for a moment, and then said: "No matter what, Ye Gong needs to have a reputation first, otherwise Ye Gong will defeat the rebel army, and the court may not think that Ye Gong is good." "Name.  "A share?" "If Ye Gong gets this title to stay in the Eastern Capital, he can recruit strong men to join the army." Hearing this, Ye Chang smiled: "I already have the title, and the imperial court has decreed that I will also be a guard in the Eastern Capital.  I will remove Guanglu Qing Li Chengdong from his post of staying in the capital, and use him as Henan Shaoyin and Luoyang Order. Together with the original Henan Yin Da Xikai and Liutai Censor Lu Yi, I will assist me in guarding Luoyang I want to come tomorrow.  The imperial edict will be here." Hearing these words, Liu Changqing was suddenly shocked.
