Chapter 390 Gaining Trust

Fanyang Jiefu.

Shi Siming knelt on one knee in front of An Lushan, stroked his right hand with his chest, performing Turkic etiquette.

Shi Siming was a Turkic man. Interestingly, An Lushan was a Sogdian and was born in Kangguo, the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Gu Qing, who was far away in Anxi, should have taken out the Kang Prince Kang Dingshuang and beat them up and asked them what Kang Guo had given birth to.

An Lushan looked at him kindly, his eyes full of appreciation. He walked forward and bent over with difficulty, helping Shi Siming up.

"Why do you and I have a brotherly friendship? Siming is out of here?" An Lushan said with a smile.

Shi Siming still lowered his head and said, "Jing Zheng has the kindness of knowing the last general. If the last general meets the last general, he is as good as seeing his parents, how can he not worship him?"

An Lushan laughed happily.

Life is full of all kinds of vicious circles. When An Lushan was in Chang'an, he called himself Li Longji's adopted son and respected Yang Guifei as his mother. He flattered him so much that he was both numb and flattering. However, when he was in Fanyang, Shi Siming also thought of his adopted son. While An Lushan was his son, he felt the joy of being a father, and three generations lived together and enjoyed family.

An Lushan smiled happily, obviously enjoying the joy of being a father.

However, there was no smile in his eyes.

Shi Siming's flattery routine was left over from him in Chang'an. Such explicit flattery was really hard to resonate with him. He only felt hypocritical because he was also hypocritical.

After asking Shi Siming to sit down, An Lushan's smile gradually faded and he said in a deep voice: "How is Pinglu Army ready?"

"Reported to the general Jie, the 45,000 troops of the Pinglu army have been reorganized, and the Han generals have been gradually eliminated by the last general, leaving only a few Han people who are willing to serve the general Jie."

An Lushan nodded with satisfaction: "The Han people are not trustworthy, so be careful about the Han generals who stayed there. The Han people are the most insidious, and they are the ones on the surface, and they are the ones behind their backs. They say loyalty on their lips, and they turn around and report to the court. We aliens are the most open and unfair and never hypocritical."

Shi Siming lowered his head and said, "Jie Zhuang said that after the last general returned to Pinglu, he would also replace the Han generals who were left behind."

An Lushan asked again: "How are the preparations for food, grass, war horses and weapons?"

"Nearly 30,000 war horses? All weapons were allocated by the imperial court over the years? There is still surplus, but the food and grass... are some of them not enough? At the end, we will try our best to raise food? Now we have only raised 100,000 stones, which is only enough for the Pinglu Army to use for more than half a year? If the war is not carried out smoothly, there may be a shortage of food in the later period."

An Lushan frowned: "I ordered your military envoys to secretly raise grain two years ago? Why hasn't they raised enough to this day?"

Shi Siming was shocked?                                                                                                                            

An Lushan said with a gloomy face: "There is not enough food. You must speed up the storage of food after returning to Pinglu. This battle is dangerous and may take a long time. If there is no sufficient food and grass? The morale of the army will be in chaos and the chances of victory will be lower."

Shi Siming stood up and saluted, "Yes? The preparations will be stepped up immediately."

After a pause, Shi Siming said again: "In the end of the future, the queen of Fanyang? The generals have introduced a large businessman to me. He has a lot of food and grass in his hands? He has a bumper harvest in Henan and Huainan Road this autumn? He is buying a large amount of wheat from both places? It is said that he has stockpiled a lot of it."

An Lushan said with great interest: "Big Businessman? Are you in Fanyang City?"

"Yes, it's not considered a big businessman. He is actually the only son of a big businessman. He went out to practice on his father's order, and he was also considered to be a son who inherited his father's business and did business after going out."

An Lushan said in confusion: "Who is he? Can he be trusted?"

Shi Siming hesitated for a moment and said, "He is from Yizhou. He has a big deal in his family and has a wide range of friendship. After several months of coming to Fanyang, many generals of the Jieshou have had friendships with him. Seeing that he looks careless and careless, he is quite generous in his actions, like a playboy from a businessman. He is quite smart when talking about business and is very meticulous. He is very particular. He thinks that this person should be trusted."

An Lushan nodded and said, "Be careful, send someone to Yizhou to inquire about the origin of his family to see if it is consistent with what he said, and then test his identity and rule out that he is the suspicion of the court. Also, when buying food and grass from him, don't trust him, first try to buy a small part to check the quality, and if there is no problem, buy a large number of them."

Shi Siming smiled and said, "Mo Jiang did the same. The first batch only bought him five thousand stones. If the handover can be smoothly handed over, Mo Jiang will acquire more in large quantities."

An Lushan nodded, but then his expression became more gloomy and said coldly: "Chang'an's eyes came to report. The treacherous minister Yang Guozhong gathered many court officials to submit a joint memorial, asking the emperor to cut off the military power of the governor. Among them, the three towns of my husband were the focus of their targets. Yang Guozhong asked His Majesty to divide the three towns into one town and also appointed a general. The original intention was to say that I was obese and had more serious illnesses, and I might not be able to bear the heavy burden of the military and political burden of the three towns. In fact, Yang Guozhong clearly wanted to cut off my military power."

Shi Siming was shocked and hurriedly said, "Jingshou, Yang Guozhong is very favored by His Majesty. He and the court officials jointly submitted a memorial. The possibility of Your Majesty agreeing is very high..."

An Lushan said with a gloomy face: "Why do you think Yang Guozhong suddenly targeted me? It was said that it was a joint letter, but it was actually what Your Majesty meant. Yang Guozhong was just to cater to the will of the saint. The person who really suspected me was not Yang Guozhong, but the emperor!"

Shi Siming said in surprise: "Does Your Majesty know that we are about to start a crime?"

An Lushan shook his head slowly: "It shouldn't be, but he must have doubts. Two years ago, Chang'an made an anonymous letter and slandered me a lot. Later, His Majesty came forward to suppress it and said that the letter was malicious frame-up, but His Majesty probably already had doubts in his heart. Even if there is no evidence, it is a fact that I hold 150,000 troops in the three towns. His Majesty is already uneasy that the military power I hold is too heavy."

Then An Lushan sneered a few more times and said, "There is another thing. Last year, His Majesty secretly sent the Zhongguan Fu Zhaolin to the three towns to investigate secretly. After I learned about the news, I bought him with a lot of money. However, this summer, news came from Chang'an City that the Zhongguan named Fu Zhaolin had been secretly killed by His Majesty."

Shi Siming said in panic: "Maybe Your Majesty already..."

An Lushan nodded and said, "Your Majesty has more or less doubts about me, and thinks I may be against me, otherwise I would not have sent someone to secretly investigate. However, when Fu Zhaolin returned to Chang'an, he described me as too loyal. His Majesty was even more suspicious of me. The killing of Fu Zhaolin fully demonstrated that he did not believe Fu Zhaolin, nor did Fu Zhaolin's memorial. On the contrary, he thought I was not as loyal as the memorial said..."

Shi Siming hesitated and said, "If Chang'an is ready..."

An Lushan interrupted him and said, "Chang'an is ready. His Majesty has set up a new governor's office between Xingzhou, Jinzhou and Qingzhou last year, and An Chongzhang was appointed as the governor. Why do you think His Majesty is like this?"

Shi Siming was also a general of the three towns, and he still had no shortage of basic military qualities. After blinking a few times, he immediately outlined the topographic map of the three states in his mind.

Then Shi Siming suddenly said, "If we march into Chang'an, these three states are the only way for our rebel army. The emperor set up a governor's office between these three states, which is clearly to guard against us."

An Lushan sneered again: "Why do you guess who your Majesty appointed as the governor of the Governor's Office? It was An Chongzhang, a famous general in the founding of the country, and the former governor of Zhengzhou. He was the best at defending the army. His Majesty used this person as the governor, and his intention was to the word "defense". From setting up the Governor's Office to appointing generals who were good at defending, all of them were targeted at the three towns of Fanyang."

Shi Siming said calmly: "Sir Jie, since the emperor has suspicion, we must raise an uprising immediately. Don't wait for the court to make more preparations to hinder our great cause of Tang Dynasty, and we may change soon."

An Lushan nodded and said, "It is indeed going to be upset. The date may be advanced. If we delay it, our chances of winning will be lower. Siming, you will go back to Pinglu tomorrow and speed up the preparation of food and grass. When Pinglu's food and grass are ready, we will raise the matter!"

An Lushan's swollen old face showed a ferocious look, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The national fortune of the Tang Dynasty has come to an end, and it's my turn to do it. When I invade Chang'an City, the first thing I do is to kidnap Yang Yuhuan. Such a peerless beauty serves a fool in his twilight years!"

…………

Shi Siming returned to Pinglu City, and Feng Yu walked with him.

In Shi Siming's eyes, Feng Yu is a rich second-generation who is generous and has a bit of business acumen. It is a bit inaccurate to say that he is a playboy. After all, he is still a little shrewd when talking about business. It is not accurate to say that he is a son who inherits his father's business. He has a common problem that all young people have, that is, his youth is full of energy.

If a rich second generation is young and energetic, then he will inevitably be domineering. Feng Yu is a very domineering person. Shi Siming has not known him for a long time, but he has seen Feng Yu beat the guy to death because the shop clerk accidentally sprinkled soup on his clothes.

He also saw Feng Yu hugging the woman's waist in the brothel, urging hard on the woman's chest like a cabbage pig.

Having seen Feng Yu's arrogant appearance and his smart appearance, Shi Siming trusted Feng Yu quite a lot.

If a person acts flawlessly and cannot find any faults, he should be particularly careful about this person, because being too perfect means danger, especially for high-risk professions like An Lushan and Shi Siming that take rebellion as their responsibility, he should be more careful about perfect people.

Feng Yu is not perfect. Even judging from his words and deeds, his shortcomings are more than his advantages, but such imperfect Feng Yu is perfect in Shi Siming's eyes. Shi Siming has gradually trusted him. He thinks that Feng Yu is a living person and lives a very real life.

Such people don't look like spies sent by the court no matter how they look like.

Following Shi Siming to get the personal guards, Feng Yu rode into Pinglu City, looking around curiously along the way, as if everything was new.

Shi Siming saw his appearance and chuckled: "Brother Feng hasn't come to Pinglu?"

Feng Yu nodded and laughed: "General Shi, don't blame me for speaking badly. I heard that Pinglu City is quite dilapidated, and I don't like it. The city I like to go to must have at least one brothel inside. There must be beautiful women in the brothel. The beautiful women must be obedient. Once I smash it with money, she will lie down. If I smash it with money, I will spread her legs..."
