"There are many things that His Highness should think of, and he will understand in the future," Yang Xi didn't explain too much, but said meaningfully: "When we get to Shaanxi County, let's talk about these things in detail!"
Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Jue didn't say anything more, nodded and agreed.
Starting from Tongguan again, it took the group three days to arrive in Shaanxi County.
Pang Zhong, who had heard the news earlier, led the main generals under his command to all of them out of the city.
Yang Xi was able to return to Shaanxi County to lead the army, and the generals, including Pang Zhong, Gao Shi, and Wang Sili, were quite surprised, and most of them were very surprised. After all, Yang Xi led them to wash away the humiliation and achieved a series of great victories, and the arrogance of the rebels was completely suppressed, and they already had a chance to counterattack. The generals also knew that if Yang Xi came back, he would definitely lead the army to counterattack with them and take Luoyang directly. If Luoyang is captured, it will be a great credit, if you are lucky enough to capture An Lushan or An Qingxu, it is not a problem to be promoted to the rank of marquis, and it is possible to be a marquis.
When Yang Xi arrived in Shaanxi County, the special task force he sent out before returning to Chang'an had not yet returned to Shaanxi County, and according to Pang Zhong's report, the special task force had sent back a lot of information during Yang Xi's return to Chang'an. Although they did not attack the camp again because of the tight defense of the rebel camp, there were many rebel scouts hunted by them, and none of the scouts sent by the rebels dared to go far from the camp, and at most they only dared to go out of three or five miles.
Of course, this is a great thing, the rebel scouts did not dare to go too far, so how could they detect the movements of our army? They can't find out the movements of our army, so it's impossible to make the corresponding arrangements. After hearing the news reported by Pang Zhong, Yang Xi immediately decided to organize an active attack as soon as possible.
Although there is no news from the north yet. I don't know what the battle situation of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi led the army to attack Fan Yang, and where Shi Siming and Cai Xide's 180,000 horses went, Yang Xi still decided to raise troops and annihilate Sun Xiaozhe's hundreds of thousands of horses first.
On the second day after returning to Shaanxi County, Li Jue convened a military meeting at Yang Xi's suggestion.
Although the imperial court appointed Li Jue, the king of Yan, as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, the generals all knew that Li Jue, who came to Shaanxi County to lead the army, was just putting on a show, and it was still the deputy marshal Yang Xi who made specific arrangements for any military action.
Of course, Li Ying also knew that he knew almost nothing about military affairs. Although there was a lot of discussion with Yang Xi on the way here, it was still too reluctant for him to arrange military operations for him, who had never been in the army. Therefore, when summoning the generals to discuss the follow-up arrangements, Li Jue, after making a polite remark, asked the generals for their opinions on the next military arrangements, and said that everything was left to Yang Xi, the deputy marshal, to make the final decision. The generals knew what was going on, and no one expressed surprise, not even Li Fuguo, the eunuch of the supervising army.
But Yang Xi did not immediately accept Li Jue's "kindness," but he did not explicitly refuse. Instead, he stood up and said to the generals: "Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness King Yan first came to Shaanxi County, and he didn't know much about the military situation in Shaanxi County, and the commander also left Shaanxi County for several days. I don't know much about the current military situation, and before discussing the follow-up action, I would like to ask the generals to report on the situation around Shaanxi County. ”
"Respectfully His Royal Highness King Yan and Marshal Yang's order!" Pang Zhong, as the general in charge of the military affairs of Shaanxi County, stood up immediately after the order. The situation was reported first: "During the period when Marshal Yang left Shaanxi County, the last general presided over military affairs on his behalf, and during this time, the town army of Shaanxi County was mainly based on drills......
Pang Zhong said. He gave a very detailed account of the situation of the town army in Shaanxi County, and then Wang Sili, Gao Shi, Liu Guangting and other major generals also reported their military information.
After arriving in Shaanxi County yesterday, Yang Xi also summoned Pang Zhong, Gao Shi, Wang Sili, Liu Guangting, and other generals after settling down with Li Jue, and had already learned about the military situation one step ahead, including the movements of the rebels. Today, he just wanted Li Jue to know about the situation in this regard, and also wanted to see how Li Jue would react after listening to these reports.
However, Li Jue's reaction disappointed Yang Xi, the generals' military reports did not arouse Li Jue's interest, this prince looked bored after hearing it, drowsy, yawning was hard to hold back, let alone express some opinions after listening. He only reacted when he saw that the generals had finished reporting and everyone's eyes were looking at him, and after laughing dryly, he turned his head and asked Yang Xi: "Marshal Yang, this king is not very familiar with military affairs, how to act next, let's listen to Marshal Yang's opinion first." ”
Li Jue's words still made Yang Xi "praise", his biological father said this, and he did a good job of covering up his "incompetence" and not embarrassing himself in front of the generals. After asking the generals for their opinions, and then following someone's intentions, even if they are wrong, it doesn't matter much, after all, he also has opinions. didn't think too much about it at the moment, in order for his biological father not to be unable to get off the stage, he also took the first step to express his opinion: "His Royal Highness King Yan, then the general will talk about his own considerations." ”
"After Sun Xiaozhe's troops were hit hard several times, they temporarily stopped the pace of advancement, although there was Yin Ziqi's combined army, but now it is still in the process of consolidation, and it did not continue to march in the direction of Shaanxi County. In addition, because most of its reconnaissance cavalry was attacked and killed by our special task force, the rebels had no way to detect the latest movements of our army. ”
Yang Xi said, then turned to the generals, and said very arrogantly: "Everyone, this commander thinks that he should take the initiative to attack while the rebels are weak. Now that our army has completed its weapons and gunpowder, the soldiers are well trained, and the weather is beginning to get warmer, the time and place are favorable, and Sun Xiaozhe should suffer a little more. ”
Yang Xi's words surprised everyone in the tent.
The generals did not expect that as soon as Yang Xi returned, he proposed to lead the army to take the initiative to attack the rebels, which surprised them. In their feelings, even if Yang Xi had some ideas, he would have to go back to Shaanxi County for a period of time, discuss them in detail with the generals, and then decide whether to take the initiative to attack the rebels after having a careful plan. But they didn't expect that on the second day of their return, Yang Xi proposed a plan to attack the rebels immediately at a military meeting attended by all senior generals. Because it was quite unexpected, after Yang Xi said his plan, the generals were surprised, and no one immediately stood up for or against it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our army has been resting and training, its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, weapons and supplies have been replenished, the weather has become warmer, and the rebels have become frightened under the continuous sneak attacks of our special task force. Yang Xi said, his voice sank, and he shouted: "Don't you have the pride to lead the army to strike a blow and win military merits again?" (To be continued......)
