This time, he still did not successfully frame Li Fei. Instead, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang issued an imperial edict to the Andong Protectorate's Office to encourage Li Fei, and also sent a lot of rewards to Li Fei.

After Yang Guozhong was so angry that he returned to his prime minister's mansion, he picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but before he could even drink it, he smashed the teacup to the ground. The broken porcelain and tea splashed, scaring the maids present to the faces pale and trembling.

Time passed by little by little, and the winter of the 13th year of Tianbao has also come.

At this time, more than three months have passed since Emperor Xuanzong of Tang summoned An Lushan back to Chang'an City for the first time, and An Lushan said he was sick and refused for the first time.

During this period, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang not only sent imperial physicians to visit, but also sent envoys to visit An Lushan's condition several times.

Theoretically, since the imperial physician was sent, it would be clear whether An Lushan was sick or not. But it was not that simple. An Lushan didn't know where to find someone who was really sick, and stretched out a hand through the curtain for the two imperial physicians to see him. Even if the two imperial physicians asked for advice and questions, they hoped to see An Lushan come to diagnose the disease, they were blocked by An Lushan's people using the excuse that An Lushan could not see a stranger.

Unable to see the true face, the two imperial doctors could only treat An Lushan through the hand that stretched out of "An Lushan". It was really sick!

Because I could not see An Lushan's true face, although there were doubts, the two imperial physicians did not dare to determine that the person who was sick was not An Lushan, so I could only report back to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang because he was really sick.

The two imperial physicians didn't know that their report that An Lushan was really "ill" really made the big stone in Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's heart fall.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had an excuse to comfort himself, and An Lushan had no ambitions and would not really betray the Tang Dynasty.

However, since it is a seed of doubt, it is not so easy to completely eliminate the source before it is removed. And this source is that An Lushan did not come to Chang'an City!

This is not only the source of doubt, but also the heart disease of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Therefore, for the past few months, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang has sent envoys to comfort An Lushan's "sickness".

After being sick for so long, he would die of illness. Therefore, for the envoys from the court, An Lushan was willing to see someone this time and said that his illness had improved.

When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang heard that An Lushan's illness had improved a lot, he was immediately delighted and quickly sent an envoy to invite An Lushan to go back to Chang'an City.

In order to make An Lushan return to Chang'an City with confidence, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked the envoy to pass on the words: "I specially left a hot spring for Lushan in Huaqing Palace. Now it is winter. Lushan is in good health. It is not advisable to stay in the bitter and cold place of Youzhou to spend the winter. I am waiting for Lushan in Huaqing Palace!"

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang thought that the tone of "coaxing". Those who listened to it thought that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang always favored and valued An Lushan.

However, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was spread to Youzhou, An Lushan still had no intention of going to Chang'an City at all, and he even had greater precautions against the court against Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

The first time Emperor Xuanzong of Tang summoned him, he did not go. Now he refused several times, and with a few months passed, he was even more afraid to go. However, although he did not dare to go, An Lushan did not explicitly reject Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Not only did he not refuse, he also agreed!

An Lushan agreed to come to Chang'an City!

After receiving the news, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had a smile on his face, and he comforted himself even more without realizing it. An Lushan had no problem and no ambition!

Unfortunately, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not last for a few days.

An Lushan agreed to come to Chang'an City, but the promise was actually different from coming to Chang'an City. An Lushan did set out from Youzhou City, but he only walked from Youzhou City for a long time, and the territory under Youzhou City did not come out. Because of the wind, he was "ill again" and claimed that he could not continue traveling. After sending someone to Chang'an City to claim guilty to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang on his behalf, he returned to Youzhou City.

In Chang'an City, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang learned about An Lushan's "situation", his heart instantly became cold.

However, although his heart was cold, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang still comforted himself in his heart. An Lushan was just "ill again" and could not hold on to him, so he could not come to Chang'an City.

Andong Protectorate, Liaoyang City.

Li Fei also got news from Youzhou's eyeliner.

"An Lushan is really a talent. He is 'sick' and has been delayed for several months. Now he is 'sick' again, and I'm afraid he will have to 'get better' for a few months!" Li Fei sneered.

"Mr. Jiedu, it seems that An Lushan's ambition is as good as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone has begun to know it." Lu Xin said.

"I just don't know when His Majesty will fully wake up. It may be too late to start to mobilize troops to prevent An Lushan, but it's better than doing nothing." Li Fei sighed.

In fact, he knew in his heart that even if Emperor Xuanzong of Tang suspected An Lushan at this time, in order not to misunderstand An Lushan and to appease An Lushan, he could not have obviously taken action to prevent An Lushan from taking action.

Du Fu was silent, but his face was filled with sorrow.

Du Fu was worried about the country and the people. Seeing that An Lushan’s ambition was obviously unable to hide, but the court still did not take action. He was very worried that once An Lushan really began to rebel, it would cause chaos.

"An Lushan is ambitious. The court did not take any action in order not to cause An Lushan's 'misunderstanding', but our Anton Protectorate must not be guarded!" Li Fei said.

An Lushan had 200,000 heavy troops under his command, and his Anton Protectorate had less than 30,000. He also had a grudge against An Lushan. Once An Lushan began to rebel, the Anton Protectorate would inevitably be affected.

The 27,500 Andong Army under his command was equipped with a full set of equipment and after the battle of the Bohai Kingdom, he was considered an elite force. However, the 200,000 army under An Lushan was also well-equipped, everyone had armor, and a large number of Tang army's excellent standards. Moreover, An Lushan's army followed An Lushan for more than ten consecutive years and was an elite force in a hundred battles.

Without saying anything, even if it was one-on-one, Li Fei would not dare to say that his Andong army had any advantages over the army under An Lushan.

"What is the Jiedushi going to do?" Mao Youde asked.

"Build high a city wall and accumulate grain!" A glimmer flashed in Li Fei's eyes.

When the strength is far inferior, the best defense is defense, and building high city walls and accumulation of grain is one of the best defenses. After all, only by protecting the nest can the foundation be preserved.

"From the Liaoxi city closest to Pinglu Road, which has already been Yingzhou, and to the front line of Liaoyang City, you must build high walls with all your efforts to accumulate grain and city guarding equipment in the city. If An Lushan really rebels, at least you must ensure that the Anton Protectorate is not lost at all!" Anton Protectorate is Li Fei's current nest. With Anton Protectorate, Li Fei has the capital and the qualification to continue planning for the future.
