Tian Chengsi felt his chest was tight, his blood was boiling, and he was stabbed by a horse stick stretched out from nowhere. Although it was not penetrated because it was protected by armor, he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. He knew very well that the other party must be bluffing. Regarding the research on grenadiers, An Lushan Department has done a very thorough job. With Liu Luogu's efforts, they have an understanding of the number and equipment of grenadiers. Ye Chang has a total of more than 200 and less than 300 grenadiers in his hands. They have a limited number of grenades, so they must be used in groups. If the grenadiers are really coming, the explosions just now should be continuous and not just two. "And the grenadiers are of no use in this kind of melee. He dare not throw grenades randomly, otherwise the enemy and us will "It's hard to tell them apart. Even if they appear, it's the best opportunity to eliminate them." Tian Chengsi understands these principles, but he understands them, but his sergeants don't. Many of his subordinates have participated in the New Year's Eve night. coup, and even suffered from grenades. Those who have not personally experienced the power of gunpowder weapons on the battlefield have also heard many exaggerated rumors from their companions. Although An Lushan, Tian Chengsi and others were familiar with the art of war, they did not have the idea of ????analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves to every soldier. On the contrary, Ye Chang had this requirement in the general strategy class of Lushun Academy, allowing the most ordinary soldiers to Know the characteristics of our enemy and ourselves. Under this situation, hearing the two explosions of grenades and the cheers of the enemy troops, Tian Chengsi's men, without exception, felt fear. The morale of Ye Chang's army was greatly boosted, and the situation of the war suddenly changed fundamentally. Tian Chengsi was secretly resentful in his heart. He just shouted late, "Seeing that his side no longer had the will to fight, they all turned around and ran away. However, the enemy's morale was as high as a rainbow, and they shouted to cover them up. Tian Chengsi spat out another mouthful of blood. His family was in the hands of An Lushan, and such a big defeat would be a dead end, so he pushed forward without retreating, shouting sternly: "Zhuo Junfu, Tian Chengsi is here, do you dare to fight me?" There were shouts. Although his voice was loud, it could not reach Zhuo Junfu's ears. Tian Chengsi's soldiers were all frightened. Except for a dozen or so loyal Shang who followed him to fight, the rest were defeated. In the blink of an eye, Tian Chengsi was surrounded by a group of Tang troops. He shouted again, but what he got in exchange was still not Zhuo Junfu's response, but more Tang troops. In almost two breaths, Tian Chengsi was overwhelmed by a group of Tang troops. He was hit by countless knives and guns, his body fell from his horse, and before he even hit the ground, he was held down and his head was cut off. "I, Mo Jian, have achieved Tian Chengsi's first achievement," a Tang soldier shouted while holding up Tian Chengsi's head. "Tian Chengsi is dead, Tian Chengsi is dead" The voice of the Tang army suddenly changed. It no longer said that grenadiers were coming to help, but that Tian Chengsi was dead. Hearing this call, the last few rebels who dared to fight became frightened. An unchecked retreat is a massacre. And by this time of the battle, a white light had appeared faintly on the horizon, and people could be seen on the road. Zhuo Junfu was not a person who just gave up when things were good. When he saw that his side was on the verge of victory, he sent someone to report the good news to Ye Chang, and then he drove his troops to continue the pursuit. This pursuit lasted more than twenty miles from dawn to noon. Not only was Tian Chengsi's troops defeated, but the two supporting troops sent by An Lushan after Tian Chengsi were also surrounded by the defeated army. They were defeated together. By the time Zhuo Jun was ready to withdraw his troops, it was already afternoon. While the Tang troops were making rice in pots, they were bragging to each other about their achievements. Zhuo Junfu also shouted happily and summoned his guards to celebrate each other with soup instead of wine. In the middle of the excitement, I heard someone say: "Dingchen, you have worked hard today." Zhuo Junfu was sitting on a stone. Hearing this voice, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Mr. Lang, why are you here?" "Hey! After you won the victory, I came to pick you up. I never thought you would win such a beautiful battle." Ye Chang couldn't hold back his joy: "I heard that Tian Chengsi was killed?" "Exactly, that's right, that one. "Mo Jian, take out your treasure and show it to Mr. Lang." A soldier named Mo Jian proudly raised his first achievement and chopped off Tian Chengsi's head. He kept it with him, even when the commander asked him to He didn't even offer it, he just said that he would give it to Ye Chang. "Is this Tian Chengsi?" Ye Chang looked at the blood-stained and dead soldier, and then at the soldier: "I look a little strange at you are you a road construction worker?" "Yes, Lang "Jun, I was recruited as a road construction worker three years ago." "Do you recognize the words?" Ye Chang asked again when he saw his proud look. "After studying it in night school, I can now recognize more than 1,200 words, and can do arithmetic and double-digit multiplication. Ye Chang's importance to road construction workers is known to all the world, and some short-sighted people even laughed at him, saying that he was not cultivating Road construction workers are training talents. Most of the road construction workers are bankrupt peasant children from poor families and no one to rely on.They were taught how to read and write, and they were also required to impose extremely strict discipline. Some of the bad habits they had were eradicated from their roots. To a certain extent, what those who ridicule Ye Chang are saying is that Ye Chang's expectations for these road construction workers were no less than the expectations of later generations for scholars. They are the seeds cultivated by Ye Chang, and one day they will be sown and bear fruit in various places in the Chinese territory. "Okay, okay, Tian Chengsi's first achievement is no small feat. Read more books, and then go to Lushun Academy to take the general examination." Ye Chang patted Mo Jian's shoulder: "I will go to Lushun then. The academy will teach the general subjects, waiting for you there." Mo Jian was overjoyed when he heard this. He puffed up his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sir, I will definitely pass the exam." The companions next to him looked at him with envy, and some of them secretly thought Muttering, this guy is just lucky and quick. Tian Chengsi, who killed so many people at the same time, was the first to get the first kill, and he actually got such a good life. "Can you hand over your treasure now?" The officer next to Mo Jian said with a smile. With Ye Chang¡¯s approval, Mo Jian was finally willing to hand over his first result. Seeing him handing over his head happily, Ye Chang couldn¡¯t help but laugh. "Tian Chengsi is dead, and An Lushan can no longer fight this battle." Looking back, Ye Chang said to Zhuo Junfu: "If An Lushan is smart, he should withdraw his army at this time." The news soon came After hearing the news that Tian Chengsi had been defeated and that the battle line had been torn apart by Ye Chang, An Lushan finally made his final determination. He left only one force to guard the rear of Wugong County Palace, and the main force turned around and returned to Chang'an. Before his troops returned to Chang'an, Ye Chang's army wiped out the rear troops he left behind. "As expected of Mr. Ye" "It seems that Your Majesty does not need to go to Shu. He only needs to stay temporarily in Yong County and wait for a few days before returning to Chang'an." After the news came, Yong County was full of joy. Li Longji's chariot is here now. Originally, Li Longji was planning to go to Shu, but after the Pei Mian Rebellion, Li Longji no longer trusted the border generals who came to greet him, including Ge Shuhan, who came to plead guilty, but he also sent his troops back while leaving them behind. Ye Chang. He was still discussing with everyone how to escape into Shu, but he never thought that Ye Chang had already repulsed Anlu Mountain before the results of the discussion came to fruition. Hearing everyone praising Ye Chang like this, Li Longji smiled, but his expression was a little lonely. His sadness was unavoidable. News came from the city of Chang'an that An Lushan had massacred the clan, and it could be said that not even one of them was left alive. He had dozens of children, and except for a few who escaped from the city in chaos, almost all of them were He was killed by An Lushan. The remaining few people also have very good relations with Li Heng, but are relatively cold to his father. Although the Tian family was said to be ruthless, and he didn't have much affection for his children, this fate still chilled him. What worries him even more is the issue of heirs. He was in relatively good health, and the successive blows did not make him collapse, but he himself knew that there was something wrong with his body, and even if he could survive for a few more years, he would not be able to perform his duties as emperor well after all. Who will be the prince and inherit the Tang Dynasty is a big question. If Ye Chang is his son, then everything is easy to say, and it is logical to inherit the throne. However, Ye Chang is not a prince, and he does not have a son who can convince everyone. If this continues, the leader is weak and the ministers are strong, even if Ye Chang has no intention of treason, It is not a long-term solution for monarchs and ministers. Now he has no doubts about Ye Chang's loyalty, but he has to consider the future situation. "Your Majesty, if Lord Ye recovers Chang'an, what reward will he receive?" He was thinking about it when he heard someone talking. The person who spoke was Wei Jiansu. As the temporary prime minister, he was quite enjoyable and naturally wanted to stay in the position for a long time. But in the current situation, Ye Chang must be a prime minister. As for whether he is an independent prime minister or a double prime minister with him, it remains to be discussed. Seeing that Li Longji was happy now, he raised this question. It was not so much about how to seal Ye Chang, but more about testing Li Longji's tone and how to arrange himself. "I want to make Ye Chang a prince." Li Longji said slowly: "Being above all the kings." Everyone's talking and laughing suddenly stopped, and there was a look of astonishment. The Tang Dynasty did not have people with different surnames who were granted the title of king, but most of them were county princes. There were very few people with different surnames who were granted the title of prince. The first thing that everyone thought of was that when the Tang Dynasty was first established, Du Fuwei was granted the title of King of Wu, but it was only in his later years. Desolate, he died of "accidentally taking" medicine and stone, and was accused of treason after his death. It was not that the generals were just thinking wildly, but that Li Longji suddenly wanted to make Ye Chang a prince, so everyone had to think so. You know, Li Longji was still very suspicious of Ye Chang before. Seeing that everyone had become cold, Li Longji said slowly: "I am thinking, should I make him the acting king or the king of Liao, and use Liaodong as a fief, and then use Yunnan as a dowry for longevity?" Everyone looked at each other, if that's true. Regarding Ye Chang as Du Fuwei, he should be detained in the capital and not allowed to return to his old place. But judging from Li Longji's tone, he not only did not want to keep Ye Chang in the capital, but also wanted to let Ye Chang do what he wanted. ¡°?"The matter should be judged by His Majesty. Ye Gong has great merits, and Lingyan Pavilion should have his image." Wei Jiansu reacted very quickly this time, and he said. "That is the power of nature to bring order out of chaos" Li Longji murmured. Voice: "You can start planning your return to Beijing. "After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves to signal everyone to leave. After everyone left, he looked at Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli who were on his left and right, and said with a wry smile: "If it were ancient times, I should have given in." "Why did your majesty say this? Your majesty's words were spread out because you wanted to force Ye Chang to rebel." Gao Lishi was shocked and knelt down in the tunnel: "Ye Chang's loyalty to your majesty can be seen in the daylight. Your majesty simply pulled him out of the tunnel. Even in the wilderness, God's grace is so vast, why did your Majesty say this?" Hearing Gao Lishi's words, Chen Xuanli looked at his nose, mouth, and heart, but did not say a word. "Since the Mawei Incident, Li Longji Although he still trusted him, Chen Xuanli felt uncomfortable. He did use the Mawei incident to shift all the blame to the dead man Yang Guozhong, but those calculations frightened Li Longji after all. He didn't realize that he was the mastermind behind the mutiny of the imperial army. I'm afraid he has figured it out a long time ago. Therefore, the only thing Chen Xuanli wants at this moment is that Li Longji doesn't pursue his old past. What I say is the truth I have lost my virtue, so I am unworthy of you. I am either an unfilial and unfaithful person like Li Heng, or a person with great ambition and talent like King Yong. Ye Chang contributed to the country, just like Yu controlled the floods and conquered the world, it is a matter of course" Chen Xuanli sneered in his heart. Li Longji said it was natural, but he must not have thought so in his heart, otherwise he should issue an edict publicly, and Not just nagging to their two cronies: "Your Majesty still has an heir, and all he needs to do is to choose a virtuous man to establish him. Lord Ye will help him with all his heart. The king will not be jealous of his ministers, and the ministers will not betray the king." "Gao Lishi said sincerely: "Your Majesty, when the country is facing this difficulty, it is the time for your Majesty to make progress and make a difference." "I have relied too much on Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong in these years, and I can no longer make progress and make a difference. "Li Longji sighed and said: "Since ancient times, Zhuge Liang is the only famous official who can be compared with Ye Chang. If something unexpected happens to me, I will leave a will. If my descendants can assist, then Ye Chang will assist them. If the descendants are unworthy, then Ye Chang will assist them." "Replace it with Chang." At this point, Chen Xuanli could only give a few words of advice. He and Gao Lishi both felt at first that this was Li Longji being hypocritical again, but after trying to persuade him for a while, they realized that although Li Longji was slightly sad He looked serious, but his words seemed to come from the sincerity. Seeing him like this, Gao Lishi could only change the topic: "An thief was defeated. I think all the towns in the world will not continue to wait and see, but after this battle, , the capital is in ruins and the people are in dire straits, the saints still have to think about how to help the people tide over the difficulties. " "This matter will be dealt with by the prime minister, but I will take care of it. "Li Longji smiled bitterly: "In the past, when I could govern the country, I trusted Li Longji and Yang Guozhong. Now that I have declined, I have no intention of governing the country, but there are so many things" Seeing him becoming sad again, Gao Lishi flashed in his heart. With a sense of ominousness, he glanced at Chen Xuanli and found that this guy was pretending to be dumb again. He felt a little annoyed and said immediately: "Sage, why don't you invite Princess Yuzhen and Princess Shou'an to talk to the saint? " Li Longji nodded and was about to summon the two women. At this moment, a joyful report came from outside: "Your Majesty, Dugu Ming, Yang said that he wants to see your majesty." Hearing these two people, Li Longji was immediately happy. : "Quickly, let them in"
