As Zhang Zhongzhi said, as long as Ye Chang led 30,000 soldiers, he was never defeated, and even with more than 20,000 soldiers, he was never defeated. Even though, as An Lushan said, Ye Chang's army was mainly civilians, according to Ye Chang's previous style, at least 30,000 of them were veterans with combat experience. As long as there are these veterans as the core, then this army in Ye Chang's hands will be an army with considerable combat effectiveness. At least Zhang Zhongzhi didn¡¯t think that he could relieve Cui Qianyou by bringing 10,000 troops. "So, the general thinks that the king is not Ye Chang's opponent?" Wang Wujun asked again. Zhang Zhongzhi did not answer. He tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then sneered: "You want to replace me?" "Why did the general say this?" "If not, why did you lead me to say such words?" "The general has misunderstood the humble position. How dare the humble position have other plans?" Wang Wujun was shocked. At this time, An Lushan's temper was erratic, which made many of his subordinates feel in danger and deeply suspicious of each other. If Zhang Zhongzhi misunderstood Wang Wujun and thought that he was going to slander An Lushan, he would have to behead him first to protect himself. Thinking of this, Wang Wujun looked around and saw that they were all Zhang Zhongzhi's cronies. He lowered his voice and said: "I just have other ideas." "What ideas?" "If Ye Chang really has hundreds of thousands of people, how can Cui Qianyou be safe? Escape, out of desperation, the king's order cannot be violated, and Ye Chang's military power cannot be touched. The general should wait and see before leaving." "Watch and see if Cui Qianyou is still there. If he is, I can save him. If you can't save, you will protect yourself." "What will happen if the king pursues him?" "If Cui Qianyou is defeated, what the king will have to worry about is how to deal with Ye Chang's hundreds of thousands of troops. How can he have time to pursue the general in these troubled times? The omen has been shown, the general has soldiers and generals, as long as there is another piece of territory, why worry about not being able to settle down and live in peace? " Zhang Zhongzhi was stunned. This was to persuade him to stand on his own. Although he did not become a king by himself, at least he would be among An Lushan's subordinates. Break away and no longer tie yourself to An Lushan and his gang of rebels. Zhang Zhongzhi¡¯s heart was pounding. He actually doesn't quite understand the current situation. It stands to reason that An Lushan will have an absolute advantage in a short period of time because he has much more troops than Ye Chang. As long as he can defeat Ye Chang while occupying an absolute advantage, Even if he is driven out of the pass, the balance of victory will still be tilted towards Anlu Mountain. However, Ye Chang "transformed" a large number of soldiers and horses. Not only could An Lushan not be able to drive away Ye Chang, but he also had to fight Ye Chang in an uncertain decisive battle within the pass - everyone knows that a protracted battle within the pass , Ye Chang will definitely be able to get support from the Jiedushi of Anxi, Beiting, and Jiannan towns, while most of the other Jiedushi will take a wait-and-see attitude. Under this situation, Ye Chang's troops will become more and more powerful, and there will be more and more strong soldiers who have been fighting on the border for a long time. Therefore, a quick victory is the only option for An Lushan to win. "General, although this is a bit dangerous, it's better to go to Ye Chang and die." Wang Wujun had finished talking to this point, and without any temptations or hidden tricks, he said directly to Zhang Zhongzhi: "When the opportunity continues, something will happen. "Lost" "All of this requires a condition Don't talk nonsense, first send someone to find out the battle ahead. He gathered his troops and took the lead. When he arrived at Zhang County, the second batch of envoys from Cui Qianyou also arrived. " General Cui has been defeated and lost most of his men. In order to prepare for another battle, he retreated to Qiyang? " This news reached Zhang Zhongzhi. He felt something was wrong. He wanted to look at the map for a long time, and called Wang Wujun with a gloomy face: "Wu Jun, take a look." Wang Wujun heard that Cui Qianyou retreated to Qiyang, and it was also a big move. Surprised: "Why not retreat to Qishan County, but to Qiyang? " When we retreat to Qishan County, we go southeast, just in time to rendezvous with Anlushan's army. When we retreat to Qiyang, we retreat to the east, which can only be regarded as parallel to Anlushan's army. " "Retreating to Qiyang is false, retreating" It's true to go to that state," Zhang Zhongzhi said. If it weren't for Wang Wujun's previous words, Zhang Zhongzhi would never have thought this way, but now, he has to think so. He has the intention to wait and see whether he will win or lose, doesn't Cui Qianyou have the intention to wait and see? Heart? And with An Lushan's current capricious and violent temper, how could he dare to come back to see An Lushan after losing the battle? Didn't he see that the envoys he sent to report the military situation were all chopped by An Lushan? "Yes, the general said What's more, he must have gone to seize that state." Wang Wujun looked at the map for a while and said horrified: "If this is true, our army cannot advance any further, as it will be dangerous if we advance further." If they continue to march northwest, if Cui Qianyou is really here It's okay to say that Qiyang's two armies can become horns, but if Cui Qianyou goes to that state, the problem will be big. Their more than 10,000 troops will be equivalent to rushing into the mouth prepared by Ye Chang.Among them. Not to mention that Ye Chang's army of 100,000 and 200,000 people has a certain fighting capacity. Even if it is true as An Lushan said, they are just ordinary people pulled out temporarily, they are enough to eat up his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. "What can we do if we don't advance? I think when Cui Qianyou's envoy arrives at the king's side, the people from the king's side urging us to move forward will also follow." "Go to Chencang" Wang Wujun looked at the map again and then said. To go to Chencang, you need to go straight west instead of going northwest to fight Ye Chang. Zhang Zhongzhi thought for a long time, then shook his head: "No, no, this means passing under Ye Chang's nose and going around his rear wing. How can Ye Chang tolerate me?" "What does the general mean?" "The king's military order is Let us meet up with Cui Qianyou, and we will naturally act as ordered." Zhang Zhongzhi's eyes flashed: "Go to Qiyang." Wang Wujun immediately understood after hearing this that he already felt that he was a little sinister, and Zhang Zhongzhi was more sinister than him. A little more cunning. Cui Qianyou's military report said that he lost more than half of his troops. In this way, he has fewer troops, while Zhang Zhongzhi has more troops. Under such circumstances, if Zhang Zhongzhi joins forces with him, who will dominate? Isn't it obvious that after annexing Cui Qianyou's tribe, Zhang Zhongzhi's strength greatly increased, and then he took advantage of the situation to seize Nazhou. Even if he chose to surrender to Ye Chang in the next step, he would still have enough room for bargaining. "What a brilliant plan, what Mr. Zhang said is true, and it is just like this." Wang Wujun said loudly: "I am willing to serve as a vanguard and fight to the death for Mr. Zhang." Now he is just a partial general. Although he has his own plan, he must rely on Zhang Zhongzhi. But Wang Wujun is not willing to stay under others for a long time. Zhang Zhongzhi has his own plans, and he also has his own plans. If he uses Zhang Zhongzhi's name to annex Cui Qianyou's tribe, he can take charge of his own affairs, and one day he can also win a good job for himself. future. After this great change, they and the generals finally understood that the Tang Dynasty had entered a turning point, and the voice of those with strong soldiers and horses would be greatly enhanced. Even if Ye Chang tried to turn the tide, he could not change this trend, because he himself should also He is considered one of those who have strong soldiers and horses. After the plan was decided, they turned north and chased Cui Ganyou's troops. Not one day later, their news reached Ye Chang. Hearing the movements of Zhang Zhongzhi's department, Ye Chang was also a little confused. Although Ye Chang has full confidence in himself strategically, he dare not underestimate An Lushan tactically. He is not afraid of casualties, but he should avoid unnecessary casualties as much as possible. Therefore, when he discovered that Zhang Zhongzhi's troops and Cui Qianyou's troops had left the battlefield, he did not act rashly, but sent out scouts. It took two full days to confirm that Zhang Zhongzhi and Cui Qianyou's troops no longer had the intention to fight. When this result came out, he was also shocked. "Lang Jun's reputation now is really a retreat for all evil." Someone among the generals said: "In that case, why not strike while the iron is hot?" "What is the method of striking while the iron is hot?" Another person said: "Lang Jun has said many times, don't strike while the iron is hot." The hope of victory is pinned on the enemy's mistakes, but on his own all-round lead. Zhang Zhongzhi and Cui Qianyou obviously have different intentions. With these two people at the beginning, how can An Lushan not guard against it? We are about to face An Lushan's full strength. Are we really ready for a decisive battle with An Lushan?" When this question was raised, everyone fell silent for a moment. Are you sure you are ready for a decisive battle with An Lushan? The enemy does not know their true and false intentions, but as the trusted generals under Ye Chang's command, they do know that the current strength in Ye Chang's hands is indeed not enough to win a complete victory over Anlu Mountain. According to Ye Chang's usual style, unless he reaches a dead end, he will always rely on his all-round advantages and overwhelming strength to reduce his losses. After a moment of silence, the generals began to discuss again, but this time everyone's voices were much lower. Ye Chang sat among the people and did not stop their discussion. Although he has a plan in his mind, he knows very well that the number of times he is on the battlefield is getting less and less. Most of the generals present now are disciples of Lushun Academy whom he trained. In the future, they will become The storm on the battlefield. "It would be good to take advantage of the opportunity that I am still here to let them exercise more." But after a while, they still haven¡¯t come up with a strategy that really satisfies Ye Chang. This has something to do with the background of these people. They all came from Lushun Academy. They are good at wearing strong weapons and inspiring morale. They are also quite good at arranging troops and forming drills. However, when it comes to playing tricks and conspiracies on the battlefield, they are still green. Somewhat. ???????????????????? In other words, they will only consider the problem purely from the perspective of soldiers, and the word "war" has never left their minds. However, a few of the Forbidden Army generals among them winked at each other, looking rather disapproving. Because of Ye Chang's favor, among the generals of the Forbidden Army, An Yuanguang was vaguely the leader. Ye Chang saw that although he exchanged glances with his colleagues, he never spoke, so he immediately called his name and said: "Yuan Guang, you have always been How wise, say??What's your opinion? " An Yuanguang smiled bitterly. He knew why the generals who came from Lushun Academy spoke so actively, and half of the reason was because of him. They thought that they graduated from Lushun Academy and were regarded as Ye Chang's direct disciples , so there is naturally a sense of arrogance in his eyes, and their military training is indeed quite different from the old army. An Yuanguang can't judge which one is better at this time, but he can be sure that these Lushun Academy can sit here. All the generals are unique. In terms of success rate, the students of Lushun Academy are much higher than the average people. What they lack is just more training on the battlefield and more experience outside the battlefield. And Ye Chang. The attention paid to An Yuanguang made these students very unhappy. Ever since the war in Luoyang, An Yuanguang had been entrusted with important tasks by Ye Chang. He lived up to Ye Chang's expectations and repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the eyes of these students. , An Yuanguang is an "outsider" who robbed them of the glory and military exploits that should have belonged to them. Although this "unhappiness" has not developed to the point of conflict with each other, but An Yuanguang and other generals of the Forbidden Army do not like it, then It's perfectly normal. So An Yuanguang didn't want to be in the limelight, but he had to be in the limelight when Ye Chang named him. He understood what Ye Chang meant. Ye Chang just needed people like him to exist. Putting pressure on the generals of Lushun Academy will also prepare for more people from different backgrounds to join his camp in the future. If he cannot show enough ability, Ye Chang will support others to take on this important task. I feel that we may be able to take advantage of the matter between Cui Qianyou and Zhang Zhongzhi. "When An Yuanguang said this, he paused for a moment. Seeing the joy on Ye Chang's face, he knew that his thoughts coincided with Ye Chang's. At that moment, he said: "Among the news that I have received in the past few days, An Lushan The cruelty has made his subordinates unbearable, and the departure of Cui Qianyou and Zhang Zhongzhi also proves this. Based on the experience of these two men, An Lushan must be more suspicious of other subordinates. We might as well spread more rumors and just say that all the generals in An Lushan's tent have secret correspondence with Ye Gong and are willing to serve as Ye Gong's internal correspondent. However, those who are unwilling to be internal collaborators also promise to support themselves in the war and will never participate. " The generals of Lushun Academy are not stupid, but they prefer to solve problems on the battlefield rather than through conspiracy. So after hearing An Yuanguang's words, they couldn't help but hold their breath slightly: This plan will work. , Anlu Mountain will definitely not be able to live in peace, and will have to cause rebellion and separation. It can even be said that they may disintegrate Anlu Mountain's army of 100,000 without a fight. "Yuan Guang, you still have unfinished words, go on. . "Ye Chang said again. "Yes, I think this strategy can be a conspiracy. Ye Gong can ask the saint to grant a public pardon. Anyone who is willing to fight back will no longer be held accountable for the crime of treason and being a thief. Anyone who can make meritorious deeds will be rewarded by the imperial court. Ye Gong may also use other channels to lobby and bribe these generals. Regardless of success or failure, it will make An Lushan miserable and make his subordinates suspicious of each other. " Ye Chang nodded. This was indeed a conspiracy, but An Yuanguang still had something to say. "One more thing, Ye Gong might as well say that An Lushan wanted to kill Li Heng and make himself emperor. Regardless of whether An Lushan has this intention or not, once these rumors come out, the relationship between An Lushan and Li Heng will inevitably break down, and there will even be some changes in Chang'an City. If this is true, Sergeant An Lushan must have no fighting spirit and only wants to return to Chang'an City to clean up the situation. If An Lushan retreats to Chang'an, he will definitely die." An Yuanguang said this with absolute certainty.
