    Li Heng really doesn't know what to do now.  Although he has a big heart, his abilities are limited, and his long-term suppressed life makes it difficult for his courage to last long - if Yang Guozhong hadn't pushed too hard and made his intention to abolish the establishment clear, he would have been unable to retreat.  , and Li Jingzhong, Cheng Yuanzhen and others encouraged him in every possible way, so he may not dare to launch this coup.  An Lushan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him ask this question. After looking at him, he said: "The matter has reached this point. How can we retreat? Naturally, we chase Although I have few troops in the city, but outside the city, my army is gathering.  It won't take long to arrive, why should your majesty worry?" Cheng Qianli's defeat resulted in the loss of Chang'an's imperial army, leaving only less than two thousand people serving as ceremonial guards.  Although the people are recruited, the economy in Chang'an is now developed, and there are fewer people who want to serve as soldiers. In the rush, they can't recruit many people. All in all, there are only three to four thousand people.  Therefore, after An Lushan entered Beijing, he transferred 6,000 An Lushan troops to Chang'an City to temporarily act as a forbidden army. If An Lushan dared to launch a coup, this was his first reliance.  An Lushan's total troops entering the capital were 100,000, and there were more than 90,000 scattered outside Chang'an City, of which 30,000 were closest to Chang'an. These were An Lushan's second reliance.  These troop configurations were originally done by Yang Guozhong. It was not that he was unprepared for Anlushan, but now, his precautions have become a complete joke.  As An Lushan said, as soon as his army enters the city, the resistance in Chang'an City is not worth mentioning. "Then chase?" "Of course we have to chase" An Lushan said: "I will go" He summoned a subordinate  , gave a few instructions, and then chased towards the west with his cronies.  It's not very far from Xingqing Palace to Ganlu Temple. Li Longji, Gao Lishi and other elderly people were held up. Those palace ladies who couldn't run were sent to hide by themselves. Shou'an and a strong palace lady dragged Yang Yuhuan  , it took more than a quarter of an hour to finally rush outside Ganlu Temple.  Although there were people supporting him, Li Longji was still out of breath from exhaustion. A forbidden soldier went to knock on the door of Shengyefang. But in the middle of the night, there was a lot of noise outside. Who dared to open the door? "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly."  The Holy Driver is here, hurry up!" "Bump it away!" An Yuanguang shouted, and then he turned sideways and hit the door. He hit it twice, but the door failed to open. When he was about to hit it a third time,  There was finally a sound inside.  "Who?" "The Holy Driver is here, open the door quickly," Chen Xuan said politely.  "But An Yuanguang?" The person inside asked instead of responding.  "So-and-so is here, so-and-so is here," An Yuanguang's heart moved and he responded repeatedly.  If something really happened, he would flee to Ganlu Temple in Shengyefang. This was Ye Chang's explanation to him. Now that he thought about it, since Ye Chang had made this arrangement, there should be someone in Ganlu Temple to take care of him.  Sure enough, the door was opened, and under the light of torches, the bare heads of seven or eight monks were particularly obvious.  An Yuanguang saw Shanzhi at a glance, and he felt relieved a little: "It turns out that Master Shanzhi is here." "Ye Shiyi was worried that something would happen, so he asked me to bring my fellow disciples to hang out here." Shanzhi's eyes were bright: "You can't stay here for a long time.  Come and follow me into the temple. There are horses in the temple." "General Anare you also arranged by Ye Chang?" Li Longji took a moment and asked An Yuanguang.  An Yuanguang said with a smile: "Seeing An Lushan's sneaky behavior, Mr. Ye suspected that he was colluding with Yang Guozhong, so he sent his ministers to pretend to join the Yang family" Halfway through his words, someone next to him shouted: "I have no evil intentions.  Unjustly accused, it is clear that the prince colluded with An Lushan, and I was kept in the dark." An Yuanguang looked around and realized that it was Yang Guozhong. Just when everyone was running away, Yang Guozhong, Mrs. Guo Guo, etc. were not separated, and they followed them all the way.  here.  "Who summoned An Lushan to the capital? Who joined An Lushan in slandering and framed Mr. Ye? Who monopolized the government and brought disaster to the country and the people?" An Yuanguang did not speak, and Shouan raised his eyebrows unceremoniously:  "Yang Guozhong, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Mrs. Guo Guo was about to speak, but was held back by Yang Guozhong. She suddenly realized that this was not a time of peace. In peacetime, relying on Li Longji's favor, she could not  How could they put Shou'an in their eyes, but now, their safety was tied to An Yuanguang, Shanzhi and other Ye Chang's men, how could they be rude to Shou'an?  "We can't stay in Ganlu Temple for a long time. We have to go to the west of the city to find a way to meet Ye Shiyi." At Ganlu Temple, Shanzhi and others led a few horses. After helping Li Longji onto the horse, he turned to An Yuanguang: "Ten  Ichiro said that if there is a change, he will come along Chunmingmen Street to meet us. ""Hehow many troops does he have in his hands?" Li Longji asked.  At this time, most of the soldiers and horses in the city were An Lushan's subordinates. Li Longji could not count on these people to remain loyal. The few Forbidden Army loyal to him either lacked combat effectiveness or were unaware of the situation. Li Longji also could not count on them.  The only hope is that Ye Chang is prepared and should have a??Military strength.  "Originally there were nearly a hundred guards in Ye's house. A few days ago, due to the fight with An Lushan and his son, he transferred 400 people from the village outside. The total number does not exceed 500." Shanzhi looked at it.  He glanced at Li Longji and said: "After all, we are in the capital. Ye Shiyi must abide by the laws when doing things. We, my brothers and nephews from the same sect, entered Ganlu Temple in the name of wandering monks." Hearing Ye Chang's only words  With less than 500 people, Li Longji was already very disappointed. When he heard that Ye Chang had to follow the rules, even though Li Longji was very thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush slightly at this time.  "Loyal and righteous people must be restricted by laws, but treacherous people can do whatever they want without restraint. The person who caused this situation was none other than Li Longji himself.  "Can Ye Chang come At this time, he himself is also under siege, right?" Wei Jiansu said.  Everyone couldn't help but glare at him, and Wei Jiansu was frightened and panicked.  However, everyone understood that he was right. In this coup, An Lushan and others not only controlled key parts such as the palace and city gates, but also wanted to capture Ye Chang.  Ye Chang only has 500 people, and self-protection is not enough. How can he come?  Just as the New Year's bell rang at midnight, rebel attacks occurred in almost all important places in Chang'an City, including Ye Mansion.  A large group of people dressed in officer and soldier uniforms appeared next to Ye Mansion and surrounded Ye Mansion.  "Today we must capture Ye Chang alive." Li Huaiyu stared at the Ye family members in the crowd, feeling his blood surge in his heart.  He looked back to the east and felt a little anxious: "Why haven't you come yet?" According to the prior agreement, they only needed to surround Ye's house and prevent Ye Chang from escaping.  It was An Lushan himself who actually directed the attack - An Lushan had always been unconvinced by Ye Chang's reputation, and he also wanted to step on Ye Chang personally.  There was a mess in the east, and there were even fires in the direction of Xingqing Palace, which proved that things were not as smooth as imagined.  However, Li Huaiyu did not wait long. About two-quarters of an hour later, he saw the sound of people coming over there. Under the guidance of at least hundreds of torches, about two thousand soldiers and horses trotted here.  Li Huaiyu was awestruck: Including the troops on his side, Anlushan had to use three thousand men to attack Ye Zhai. This number was already one-third of the manpower that Anlushan could use when entering Chang'an City.  But it was not An Lushan who appeared in front of Li Huaiyu, but An Qingzong.  "How is the situation? Has Ye Chang come out?" An Qingzong asked impatiently after arriving.  "There has been no movement in the house." "Bang the door, be careful to guard it, don't let them escape in disorder." An Qingzong asked a few questions casually, and then began to give orders. His eyes were very excited, thinking of what happened to "Fenghua Tower" that day.  The humiliation must be repaid tenfold today. Li Huaiyu had been here for so long and had already prepared for the attack, because the wood used to break the door was immediately carried up.  They were about to rush to the door of Ye Mansion when suddenly the door of Ye Mansion was opened and the lights inside became bright almost at the same time.  This did not surprise An Qingzong and Li Huaiyu. After all, there was such a big movement outside, and it was strange that there was no reaction in Ye Zhai.  But the person who appeared in front of the gate immediately surprised them.  Ye Chang was dressed in casual clothes, standing in front of the door with a smile, and cupped his hands toward the outside: "If you have a visitor, you should welcome me I wonder if the visitor is Dr. An?" An Qingzong frowned: "It's me" "Doctor An is not here  ?" Ye Chang was a little disappointed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, but the same goes for Mr. An "Ye Chang, what else do you have to say today?"  An Qingzong said sternly: "You insulted me too much in Fenghua Tower that day, and you insulted my father on the chariot. Today I will cut off your dog's head."  , I must have some instructions, right?  Ye Chang pointed to his head: "The wealth of the world is all in this head, your father is willing to cut it off easily?"  " An Qingzong couldn't help being speechless for a moment. As Ye Chang said, before he came, An Lushan did make an explanation: If Ye Chang wanted to break through the siege and escape, then his life would be taken at any cost, but if Ye Chang didn't  If you want to escape, then capture him alive as much as possible - although Aolai Country is a well-known scam, Ye Chang still has many ideas for making money in his mind, which is also known to the world.  After a while, An Qingzong said again, but his momentum was much weaker than before. Ye Chang said with a smile: "When Anjun Ma arrived, your father must have no time to escape. I originally prepared some small gifts for your father, but now I can only offer them."  Horse with Anjun.  " An Qingzong didn't believe that Ye Chang would really give him and his son any gifts, but he was now in control of the situation. Out of the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse, he was not in a hurry to capture Ye Chang immediately, so he sneered: "Ye Chang  , Now in this situation, what other tricks do you want to play?  ¡± &nbsp"Bring it up." Ye Chang clapped his hands.  An Qingzong looked intently and saw a young man holding a brocade box under the firelight and delivering it to Ye Chang.  Ye Chang opened the brocade box and took out two things from it.  When An Qingzong saw the two things, there was no difference in appearance. They were just an iron rod placed on a curved wooden handle. It looked like a short staff. He was a little confused: What did Ye Chang do with this thing?  ?  Ye Chang raised his hand and pointed the short staff at Anqing Zong with both hands. He was not in the habit of talking nonsense. He just pulled the trigger and heard a loud "boom", and the iron head of the short staff spurted out red fire.  Before An Qingzong could react, he screamed "Ah", his body fell backwards as if he had been hit by a hammer, and he fell directly from his horse.  The war horse under his crotch was also frightened and jumped with a long neigh, while An Lushan's subordinates around him were also in a mess. "This is" Li Huaiyu's eyes popped out: "What is this?" Not only did he not know,  Not many people around Ye Chang knew what it was. After eight years of Tianbao, Ye Chang had prepared gunpowder. After that, he asked the craftsmen to continuously improve the gunpowder. At the same time, he also found skilled craftsmen and spent enough money regardless of the cost.  It took six years to drill out more than ten suitable iron pipes to make the two muskets he holds in his hands now. Because the barrels are relatively short, these can only be regarded as handguns, with a pitiful range of only about ten feet.  , far worse than bows and arrows.  Ye Chang did not make it into a matchlock gun, but directly made a percussion flintlock gun. Because the structure is relatively complex, even for the skilled craftsmen in the clock workshop, it is extremely difficult to polish a suitable mechanism. Only these two arms were made.  Gun, it takes half a year.  Originally, the flintlock gun was invented and improved by watchmakers. Ye Chang spent a lot of money and manpower, and spent several years to achieve such results. He originally prepared this for An Lushan - if An Lushan launched a coup.  , must be looking for him. If An Lushan can be killed in one fell swoop, his soldiers will be in chaos, and then Ye Chang can leave Chang'an calmly.  However, since An Lushan didn't come, there was nothing wrong with testing An Qingxu's gun.  Because the flints at this time still relied on flint, Ye Chang was worried about misfire, so when firing, he used two guns at the same time.  However, God was very cooperative, and there was no misfire during the first official use of the musket.  Under the protection of dozens of guards, Anqingzong was only a little more than six feet away from him, which was within the range of the handgun. However, due to its power, within this range, hitting vital points can seriously injure the enemy.  , if you want to kill with one blow, you have to have some luck.  Ye Chang hit An Qingzong with both shots, but one shot hit the face and the other hit the chest.  An Qingzong had armor on his chest. The blow to the chest only broke his ribs, but it was a blow to the face that penetrated his cheek and entered his body. He didn't know where he went.  Although An Qingzong did not die immediately, he screamed and howled on the ground. The pain was shocking.  "Kill" After Ye Chang shot twice, he immediately took a few steps back. The guards around him also quickly stepped forward to protect him.  As Ye Chang waved, nearly a hundred figures appeared on the walls on both sides of the door.  At this time, Li Huaiyu reacted and shouted: "Kill the enemy -" Before he finished speaking, nearly a hundred figures on the wall shrank back again, and an unknown number of fire spots appeared in the air. Li Huaiyu thought they were rockets at first, but  Looking up, I can see that these fire points are not falling very fast. They are not ejected from the bow string, but should be thrown by bare hands.  He didn¡¯t know what this was, but he was certain that it was definitely not a good thing.
