    The Golden Light Gate of Chang'an City is within Ye Chang's sight, but before, he would not use a telescope to observe this gate, but now it is not the case. He is ten miles away from the Golden Light Gate, looking at this gate from a distance.  The capital of the Tang Dynasty.  Bian Ping looked a little lonely, standing beside him, not daring to say a word.  Putting down the telescope, Ye Chang calmly turned to face him. Seeing that he was still like this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Still unwilling to accept it?" "I really feel unwilling to accept it. I always feel that it could have been settled in one fell swoop." Bian Ping said.  "In your line of work, you must not be impatient, and you must not think about settling in one fell swoop. You must know that these methods are only auxiliary after all. They may have the first success, but they cannot have the full success. An Lushan is a miscellaneous person.  , Is it just a fluke that you can occupy a high position? It is inevitable that you will be driven out because you cannot stand in the city. Why did I ask you to make a plan to retreat at the worst possible time? I knew it would be like this.  Chang patted Bian Ping's shoulder to comfort the guy in charge of detailed intelligence work.  After An Lushan decided to join forces with Shi Siming again, he immediately began to purge all the officials in Chang'an City. Since he had made up his mind to return to Fan Yang, he naturally no longer scrupled, and all those with the slightest suspicion were arrested. Although Bian Ping thought carefully, he  He couldn't face this situation where he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go. Fortunately, he had been warned by Ye Chang in advance to evacuate immediately if things were not harmonious, so the loss he suffered was not too great.  But he originally planned to let the officials who had secret contacts in the city dedicate the city, but this plan was completely ruined.  Seeing that he was still a little upset, Ye Chang said again: "You have done a good enough job, you have to leave some credit to others There is one more thing you should pay attention to. Contact those who have not yet been exposed in the city and ask them to pay attention.  "Protect the city of Chang'an." "Is Lang Jun worried that An Lushan will jump over the wall?" "That's inevitable. If he can't defend Chang'an, how can he leave such a good city to us? How can he distract me?"  If he concentrates on escaping, he might be able to use this to stop me. " "Yes" After giving the instructions, Ye Chang said nothing else. He turned back to the military camp and ordered the capture of the villages outside Chang'an City.  An Lushan only defended these villages symbolically, then set them on fire and abandoned them, and the entire army retreated into Chang'an City.  Bian Ping followed Ye Chang and saw that although he was dispatching troops and generals, he was only setting up a siege and did not actually start to attack the city.  He was a little puzzled. Could it be that Mr. Ye wanted to fight a protracted war with An Thief?  But he soon overturned this speculation, because Li Longji's envoy came again.  It was still Zhou Xianren. His face was full of dust and dust. When he saw Ye Chang, he bowed deeply: "Mr. Ye, the saint heard that Mr. Ye asked him to prepare to return to the capital and sent his slaves to spread the word. Mr. Ye must not change himself because of the saint."  The first priority in the plan is to cherish the soldiers. "Ye Chang smiled slightly and said: "I understand. If that's the case, you can rest in our army for a few days and watch me defeat the thieves before going back to report to the saint." He said.  Zhou Xiangren sent him away, but Bian Ping heard Ye Chang's determination and confidence.  Ye Chang was clearly absolutely sure that he could break through Chang'an City in a short time. If this was the case, it would be impossible to fight a protracted war with An Lushan.  After sending Zhou Xiangren away, Ye Chang looked at Bian Ping and said with a smile: "Come with me to meet Xin Jinghao and Yue Xi. They played well in Tongguan." "They are here?" Bian Ping said in surprise.  .  Ye Chang smiled, this guy can play tricks now. He is in charge of intelligence investigation. How could he not know that Xin Jinghao and Yue Xi were already in the east of Chang'an City, seizing the Ba Bridge and pointing to the Chunming Gate.  When Xin Jinghao saw Ye Chang, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Jinghao pays homage to Mr. Ye for several months. Is Mr. Ye well?" "Hahaha, get up." Ye Chang laughed and pulled him up: "Jinghao  "Hao, you fought well in Tongguan." "It's Mr. Ye's clever plan. He is just an executor. Anyone can win." This guy is quite humble, but he just called Ye Chang Ye Gong and called himself Jing.  Hao, the meaning contained in this is very simple. "Yue Xi, you know now that military affairs are not easy, right?  "Ye Chang looked at Yue Xi with a smile again. Yue Xi had a look of shame on his face: "Mr. Lang is right. Now I finally understand why Mr. Lang doesn't let me lead the army. Yue Xi is a bit of an armchair soldier in the military. Ye Chang  He was placed on a road construction site for a long time and asked to train road construction workers in military methods. The original intention was to increase his practical experience and help him grow into a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. However, he was successful in training workers and had little regard for his own skills.  He was even more conceited about his military ability. It was not until the Battle of Tongguan, when thousands of troops were engaged, that he realized that he still took things for granted. The most outstanding thing was the siege explosives truck he invented, which was actually of little use.  And if it weren¡¯t for luck, it would be impossible to blow down the Tongguan City Gate.  "Has everyone been invited?" Ye Chang asked after chatting with everyone.  "We have been selected from the army, 1,200 of them, and can be put to use at any time.""There are still two thousand people to spare." "Okay." Hearing the news, Ye Chang was overjoyed. He looked at Yue Xi, nodded and said: "You can learn a lesson and gain wisdom. It's really great."  In this case, I will leave this matter to your supervision and it must be completed within three days - do you have a plan?  " "There is a case, just waiting for your husband's approval." They said it as if they were playing a riddle. Bian Ping was confused, but soon he figured out what was going on. Since Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, naturally  It is one of the most fortified cities. Although strategically speaking, after Tongguan was lost and surrounded on all sides, it made little sense to defend the isolated city of Chang'an. However, if An Lushan and Shi Siming were determined to coexist with Chang'an City, they would want to capture it.  This city is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also will cause great damage to the people in the city. Therefore, Ye Chang does not intend to attack the city. His plan is very clear, since gunpowder can blow down the Tongguan city gate.  , then the city gate of Chang'an can also be blown down. But with the lesson of Tongguan, Anlu Mountain must be prepared. It will not be easy for gunpowder to get close to the city wall, and it may cost huge casualties. Therefore, Ye Chang has already calculated.  Let Yue Xi prepare the miners. There were originally more than 20,000 workers in the Luoyang army led by Xin Jinghao and Yue Xi who were recruited from the vicinity of Xiuwu, and many of them were miners who were good at digging holes.  Yue Xi selected 3,200 of them, and prepared enough tools to seize villages near the city wall outside the north and east gates of Chang'an, dig holes in houses, and dig tunnels. At the same time, he also dug tunnels in Chang'an.  Trenches were dug outside the city to cover up the movement of large amounts of earth and stone, and they looked like they were preparing to besiege Chang'an for a long time. Thirty-two hundred workers took turns digging. Chang'an was surrounded by plains and the soil was easy to excavate, so the progress was very fast. It was only a short time.  In three days, the tunnel passed through the moat and arrived at the foot of Chang'an City. Shi Siming, who was in charge of guarding the east gate, walked under the city wall with a gloomy face and looked at the large vats: "What's going on?  ""It's getting louder and louder, not far from the city wall," reported the soldier who was monitoring next to the big tank. The Tang army carried out extensive construction work and dug trenches. Although they concealed their purpose at first, the next day, Shi Siming discovered  No, they dug a pit in the city, put several large vats upside down in the pit, and asked the soldiers with excellent hearing to monitor the whole day. Sure enough, he heard the movement. He immediately judged that the opponent was preparing to attack the hole. Cold Weapon Era Attack  Cave attacks were not uncommon in the city, and Shi Siming had his own countermeasures. He first asked the monitoring soldiers to determine the direction of tunnel digging, then dug a trench horizontally in the confirmed direction, and then ordered the soldiers to monitor day and night. No matter how many Tang troops were able to dig tunnels,  But it is impossible for the Tang army to swarm into the tunnel. In the end, they will still emerge one by one. At that time, his subordinates can catch the turtle in the jar. This kind of response is quite satisfactory, and everyone has done this in the art of war since ancient times.  Shi Siming felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he asked people to prepare firewood. If the wind direction was right, he was also prepared to make a smoky fire. Since there was a change in the Tang army on his side, how could An Lushan not be as energetic as he was over there.  Unfortunately, it was impossible to personally command the defense of the city. It was okay for Yan Zhuang, a scholar, to come up with plans and conspiracies, but it was not easy to truly act on his own. Therefore, Shi Siming also sent people to warn the army, and An Lushan also sent people to thank the troops.  The relationship has become somewhat closer because of this. ¡°Now that we¡¯ve arrived under the city wall, I think it¡¯s only been in the past two days.  "Shi Siming murmured. "It would be good to dampen Ye Chang's energy first.  Liu Luogu said with a tired look on his face. "Has the matter you were asked to inquire about found out?"  "Shi Siming asked. "I have some clues. Someone told me that His Highness the Prince secretly ordered people to place fires everywhere in the city and send dead soldiers to guard them.  "Liu Luogu said: "Looking at the situation, your Majesty has already prepared for the worst. If the city is really attacked, he will definitely set fire to the city.  " "Your Majesty, the prince, you still don't dare to talk about him until now." When Shi Siming heard the news, he first complained that Liu Luogu still didn't forget his old relationship, but then he raised his eyebrows: "In other words, An Lu  Shan Dui was not even sure about guarding the city of Chang'an. He was unwilling to hand over an intact Chang'an to Ye Chang and made up his mind to destroy Chang'an No, he wants to escape. "Didn't Shi Gong say it a long time ago?  Are you ready to escape back to Fanyang?  "Liu Luogu was a little disapproving. "No, he will escape within a day or two." Shi Siming took a breath, cursed a few times, and then said sternly: "Immediately find a way to pass the news to Ye Chang.  He said that An Lushan was going to use us as a backstop, and he set fire to escape." "What?  "Liu Luogu was shocked. He did have a way to pass the news to Ye Chang, but the two sides are mortal enemies. What is the purpose of Shi Siming's move? "I will tell An Lushan that I leaked the news to Ye Chang, so that  He decided to do it himself.  Shi Siming smiled sinisterly and said, "Since he has a way to escape,"Don't even think about abandoning us. We must die together and live together." After understanding what he meant, Liu Luogu had no choice but to smile bitterly. After An Lushan and Shi Siming turned against each other, they lacked the most basic trust between each other.  Both sides were afraid that the other would stab them in the back, so they restrained each other. Although they were no longer fighting on the surface, they were secretly on guard. Thinking of this, Liu Luogu couldn't help but feel discouraged. He had captured Li Longji, Yang Guozhong, and others.  Li Heng and others had the opportunity to restrain each other, so An Lushan was able to take action. But now, it was them who were trying to hold each other back. Although they were unwilling to do so, they had to pass the news to Shi Siming.  An Lushan, An Lushan was summoning Yan Zhuang to inquire about the traitor in the city. After hearing this, he was so angry that he could no longer control it. Not only did he kick Yan Zhuang in the face, but he also directly ordered: "Behead this man."  Yan Zhuang was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. When the warriors came up to pinch him, An Lushan said again: "It's not Doctor Yan, it's this guy." He was referring to the envoy sent by Shi Siming. The envoy suddenly panicked.  He begged for mercy, but An Lushan was unmoved and ordered the warrior to chop him off and throw his head directly to Shi Siming's territory. Yan Zhuang, who had escaped with his life, wiped his sweat and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"  ?  " "Shi Siming is indeed a close friend of mine for many years. He really understands my thoughts. He must have found some clues and knew that I wanted to leave Chang'an, so he threatened me with this so that I could take him with me." An Lu  Shan sneered and said: "It's just that he knows me. Don't I know him that I killed his messenger? He thought I had no choice but to kill someone to vent my anger, but he didn't know my true intention. Now that we are ready, he revealed the news to Ye  Chang, Ye Chang didn't have time to make plans How could I not know Ye Chang's idea? Shi Siming only knew that he wanted to dig a tunnel to attack the city, but I knew that he must have buried the gunpowder under the city." "What?" Yan Zhuang lost his voice.  He yelled, and then suddenly realized: "This Ye Chang has not attacked the city these days, but only dug tunnels. It turned out to be to bury gunpowder?"  " "If the city wall of Chang'an is destroyed by a bomb like Tongguan, how can the city still be defended?  I had known this for a long time, so I was not prepared to guard Ye Chang's attack at all. It would happen in the night of one or two days. He only said that we failed to see through his plan. In order to be able to accomplish the feat at one stroke, we must be arranging the siege now. The entire preparation  Completed, the most likely thing is that I will break through the siege tomorrow night, leaving Chang'an burning with him. See if he wants to save Chang'an, or take my life. With my knowledge of Ye Chang, he must feel  Now I am a bereaved dog, I cannot escape from his clutches, I will reduce the losses as much as possible, so putting out the fire must be my priority.  And there is Shi Siming in the city. He has to get rid of Shi Siming first before he can put out the fire with peace of mind. And only after putting out the fire can he chase me. Yan Zhuang swallowed his saliva and looked at An Lushan. He didn't know whether to admire or not.  The contempt.  After all, An Gong was tortured by injuries and lacked energy. Although he was as vicious as ever, when he thought about the problem, he couldn't help but take it for granted.  Since Ye Chang had so many designs, how could he be so easily defeated?  And how long can Shi Siming and Chang'an City stop Ye Chang?  "Do you want to pack all the things you have packed?" An Lushan said again: "Don't bring those bulky things. Burn them all tonight. Only bring gold and silver. I only give you two hours. I will definitely do it today."  Take action"
