The bad news is not alone. After discovering that they had been tricked by Ye Chang's trick, Cui Qianyou's tens of thousands of troops quickly pursued him. They also entered Qizhou, which was only one day away from Li Longji. The vanguard of his scouts had already appeared more than 20 miles away from Li Longji's car. Then, news came that An Lushan's army had massacred all the clans that were close to Li Longji in Chang'an City before dispatching. Almost all of Li Longji's descendants were killed, except for some who had a good relationship with the prince Li Heng. . After Ye Chang learned about this news, he discussed it with Gao Lishi and others and asked them to hide it from Li Longji. After all, Li Longji is old, who knows if he can withstand such a blow. "Mr. Ye, go see the Holy Spirit." Although Ye Chang reunited with Li Longji, he spent more time with the soldiers instead of Follow Li Longji - Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli can do this kind of thing. Therefore, when Li Longji wants to talk to him, he will send someone to ask him. Moreover, the ones sent now are all Gao Lishi. Inviting Gao Lishi is not only more reliable, but also shows how much Li Longji values ??Ye Chang. Gao Lishi knew his position very well. When he saw Ye Chang, he was more respectful to Ye Chang than he was to Li Linfu back then. "Mr. Gao, I wonder what's going on?" Ye Chang's attitude towards Gao Lishi was the same as before, and he was not scornful. "I don't know that His Majesty has been in a daze since he got up this morning. He ignored anyone who spoke to him and refused to eat. He suddenly wanted to summon you just now" Ye Chang was stunned when he heard this. At this time, Li Longji Why is it like this When the news of King Yong's death came yesterday, he only fainted for a while and then woke up. When he came to Li Longji, Ye Chang was startled. Li Longji was very old and looked ten years older than yesterday. Although he is over seventy years old, he looked like a man in his fifties or sixties before because of his good maintenance. But now, he looks like he is almost eighty years old. Princess Yuzhen accompanied him, but at this time, the royal sister, who was very happy, was just wiping her tears. "Ye Qing is here take a seat." Seeing Ye Chang coming over, Li Longji's eyes brightened. "Your Majesty has summoned his ministers, what are your instructions?" Ye Chang said. "Everyone else is eager to be around me all day long. In the past, when Li Linfu was here, he would come to visit me every day. Yang Guozhong spent more time around me than he spent dealing with government affairs" Li Longji murmured He murmured: "Only your Majesty, you don't like to be flattered and flattered by me. Even if you go to the border fortress of the extreme territory, it is better than being by my side. "I have an idle temperament. There are too many etiquettes around the saint and my actions are too restrictive, so I don't feel free. . "Ye Chang said with a smile. "No, no, you are really doing your job, others just regard flattering me as their first priority. Li Longji looked at Ye Chang: "I intend to dismiss Wei Jiansu and worship you as prime minister. What do you think?" " Princess Yuzhen, Gao Lishi, and others next to her were not surprised. In fact, not to mention worshiping the prime minister, it was the title of king. Ye Chang deserved the credit for his current contribution. Moreover, after worshiping the prime minister, Ye Chang took charge of military affairs. Without any constraints, it would be easier to defeat An Lushan. No one could refuse such an invitation. Even if you don¡¯t see it, Wei Jiansu would be a temporary prime minister. But what Ye Chang said surprised them. With the new changes in the dynasty, Yang Guozhong was forced to be executed. Since Wei Gong became prime minister, there had been no serious mistakes. People's minds were at peace and the military situation was stable. The saint valued it and the minister was extremely grateful, but felt that this was not the right time. " "Sure enoughSure enough" Li Longji smiled bitterly: "I have never understood you clearly. You are an alien. Your ambitions, not to mention generals and emperors, should not be taken to heart. " Ye Chang did not answer, but he believed it in his heart. He has more than 1,200 years of experience at this time, and naturally knows that the imperial power will eventually weaken. It's just a short paragraph in the history books of future generations. What they really left behind is their achievements. If he can make achievements that will leave his name in history, so what if he is not an emperor? Emphasis on Taoism, and Taoism benefits the people. He will always be remembered by future generations, and he will not be the emperor of his era. "Have the clan members in Chang'an City been killed by thieves and traitors? "Li Longji said again. Because Ye Chang was thinking about what Li Longji had just said, when he heard this question, he unconsciously responded: "Yes" After saying a word, he realized that he was wrong. He suddenly He raised his eyes and looked at Li Longji, only to find that Li Longji had a calm expression on his face, as if he was just saying something insignificant. "It must be that I am ruthless Of course, the Tian family is ruthless in the first place, otherwise why would there be such a traitor. In fact, when I escaped from Chang'an, I already knew that such a thing was inevitable. How could that traitor let himBrothers and uncles are still there. As long as one brother is still there, his throne is unjust and unjust I originally thought that after King Yong came out with me, he would be a little more scrupulous about his actions. After all, he would not stop killing But I never thought that he was even more crazy than I expectedThose are his brothers." Although he had been mentally prepared, when he actually talked about it, Li Longji still burst into tears and his voice was broken in sobs. Although Ye Chang I sympathize with him, but I also feel that this is something Li Longji brought upon himself. If he hadn't been suspicious of the former prince in his early years and later fell in love with him, how could such a situation have happened for a young man like Li Longji who ascended the throne and became emperor in thirty years? That's enough, why did it take so long? "Your Majesty, I think this may not be Li Heng's doing, but more like An Lushan's method. "Ye Chang said after Li Longji calmed down a little: "Only An Lushan, who is cruel by nature and disrespects the life of heaven and earth, can do this. I guessin Chang'an City now, An thieves and Niheng are not necessarily the same. " "You mean? " "An Lushan is so ambitious that your Majesty cannot say that he is unkind to you, but he still betrays you. If Niheng treats him favorably, where will he go? At the beginning, An Lushan wanted to use Ni Heng's name, but he was tolerated. However, if Ni Heng thought that he could really have the power to rule the world, the two would turn against each other. "With Ye Qing here, the two of them can only defeat Ye Qing if they join forces. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to turn against each other." " "I only have a small number of troops. Now Anlushan must have controlled Tongguan. Regardless of the more than 20,000 troops left in Luoyang, Shi Siming will also join Anlushan from north to south. An Lushan forcibly conscripted 100,000 people in the capitalthe Forbidden Army mutinied and killed Yang GuozhongThese things can make An Lushan expand. The masterminds An Lushan relied on were Gao Shang and Yan Zhuang. Gao Shang was a little more stable, and they were ambushed and killed by his ministers. Yan Zhuang was impatient and ambitious by nature, and he would definitely instigate An Lushan to do evil things. " Li Longji felt heartbroken and happy when he heard this: "The traitor led the wolf into the house, I don't know if he will regret it by then." Ye Chang secretly complained in his heart. Although Li Heng led the wolf into the house, he brought a wild dog with no ability to harm him. Isn't it you, Your Majesty, who raised a ferocious wolf? "If you weren't afraid that the people would suffer more, I would have wanted them to kill each other first and watch a lively trick. "Ye Chang said, "It's just that the people deserved it. The minister wanted to have a decisive battle with An Ni. The victory will be determined in one battle. The war will be ended as soon as possible, and His Majesty will return to the capital earlier. " "You have no soldiers. Although my brother Shuhan has soldiers, he is not trustworthy enough" Li Longji sighed. "I have soldiers. "Ye Chang said. "What? Li Longji was stunned: "Where did the soldiers come from?" " "I can recruit factory workers as soldiers, and naturally I can also recruit road construction workers as soldiers. "Ye Chang smiled lightly: "In the next few days, the army will gather to kill Cui Qianyou first, and then capture Anlu Mountain." "Road construction worker" Li Longji was stunned, and then said in surprise: "You mean Road builders? "Exactly, these years, I have been busy building roads. There are nearly 300,000 road construction workers scattered in various places, of which about 120,000 are building the Longyou track." Ye Chang said slowly: "This 120,000 people rode track trains and rushed to Qizhou to meet the ministers. ""It turns out that you have already prepared." "I never fight an unprepared battle." Ye Chang showed his strong will. Confident, Li Longji deeply believed in it. If someone could fly in the air and look down at the land of Longyou in the Tang Dynasty, they would see hundreds of track trains running on their respective tracks - except for the main train, which was designed and built by Ye Chang himself. In addition to roads, the powerful nobles of the Tang Dynasty also tried their best to build dozens of track branches on the land of Guanlong. While Ye Chang generously provided technical support to these powerful aristocrats, he also unified the standards of rail tracks. Transported by these track trains day and night, one hundred thousand road construction workers quickly obtained weapons from various local arsenals, and gathered in Longzhou like streams converging into a river. "That being the case, I've been waiting for your good news" Hearing this, Li Longji had mixed feelings in his heart and reluctantly spoke. "I think it's not that far away. Yesterday I asked Your Majesty to borrow An Yuanguang and others for this purpose." Ye Chang said. After he destroyed Pei Mian's conspiracy yesterday, he reported to Li Longji and asked An Yuanguang and other young generals of the Forbidden Army. Li Longji would not refuse, but Li Longji only thought that Ye Chang sent these people to recruit soldiers, and After sending these people out, Ye Chang took the opportunity to use his cronies as the imperial army to facilitate the control of the imperial center. Now it seems that Ye Chang clearly returned the general power to the imperial court. Although Li Longji is much wiser than before, But his way of thinking as emperor has been somewhat solidified for many years, so he thought that the generals of the Forbidden Army would put him first, but he never thought that after so many things, his prestige in the army had been greatly reduced, especially Ma Wei. During the Po Incident and the destruction of the Yang clan, these Forbidden Army generals were more or less involved.Is there anyone worried about his liquidation afterwards? After Ye Chang's strong intervention, Chen Xuanli was obviously unable to protect these Forbidden Army generals. Even Chen Xuanli himself had to look at Ye Chang's eyes to act. After being transferred out, most of these Forbidden Army generals expressed their feelings to Ye Chang in private. Loyalty means. "The thief Ye Chang escaped very quickly," Cui Qianyou said helplessly while riding on his horse, looking at the continuous track. He was frightened by Ye Chang's grenadiers. He only dared to stare at Ye Chang all the way, but did not dare to attack directly. When he arrived at Zhang County, he found that Ye Chang would no longer retreat, so he confronted Ye Chang from a distance. As a result, Ye Chang bluffed and took advantage of the track train to leave at night, retreating dozens of miles overnight, leaving him with an empty camp. At this time, the news of the advance of An Lushan's army in Chang'an City also arrived. Cui Qianyou knew that he could no longer be perfunctory and had to act more realistically. He immediately reported to An Lushan that the victory was great and chopped off the heads of some people as war merits. , on the other hand, marched westward and continued the pursuit. However, Ye Chang took away all the track trains along the way, and those that couldn't be taken away were burned with fire. Therefore, Cui Qianyou could only look at the track trains, but had no way to use them to transport his troops. "What if he didn't run away? Now he finally got the news. The grenade in his hand can help him fight at most two more battles. When he learned that Duke An was recruiting Chang'an Qingzhuang, he should know that grenades can't scare people Not to mention An If the Duke's army really starts a fight, we will drive the people away to use up his grenades," a general beside Cui Ganyou said nonchalantly. They had the courage to pursue the attack with all their strength because they were inspired by An Lushan and prepared to use the common people to consume Ye Chang's firearms. "Is Taihe Pass ahead?" "Yes, the news said that Ye Chang was at Taihe Pass, while the old emperor retreated to Yong County, which is less than fifty miles away from Taihe Pass." "I don't think this Guancheng is very good. It's difficult to attack." Cui Qianyou thought about the terrain, and then said with a smile: "Ye Chang would be too stupid to defend this pass. With his usual behavior, he must have hidden methods." "This Taihe Pass was originally used to defend Chang'an and guard against the west. , We are coming from the east, and he is naturally not well-guarded. In my humble opinion, if Ye Chang dares to defend Taihe Pass, reinforcements should have arrived." "It's a pity that Pei Mian's actions failed. Come on, I think Ye Chang has become a prisoner under my command." Cui Qianyou ordered the deployment of troops while talking to his subordinates. As An Lushan's most trusted general, he had more than 15,000 men under his command. Even if Ye Chang merged with Pei Mian's men, it would only be one-third of his men. What¡¯s more, he didn¡¯t launch an attack as soon as he arrived at Taihe Pass. Instead, he divided his troops to plunder and captured thousands of people nearby. Now these thousands of people were tied one by one with hemp ropes and driven in front of his troops. These common people held swords and guns in their hands and cried loudly, but they did not dare to attack the rebels because they had been killed and their courage was broken. Behind them, Cui Qianyou's men were pointing with swords, guns, arrows and crossbows, waiting for Cui Qianyou's order to force them forward. "The people in the pass are a little different from those in the capital. In the capital, no one dares to resist, but here we have to kill a lot of people to make them obey." Cui Qianyou thought about it in his mind, and when he saw that the time had come, he raised his hand A small flag gave the order: "Start attacking the city." On the city wall, Ye Chang saw the people crying and being rushed forward, and couldn't help but shook his head: "We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the casualties will be heavy." " If we launch the attack at this time, we may not be able to completely annihilate Cui Qianyou. " "It doesn't matter, I am convinced that after today's battle, both Cui Qianyou and An Lushan will be at the end of their rope."
