Chen Xuanli has the mentality of reaping the benefits of the fisherman, all because Yang Guozhong has repeatedly excluded dissidents in the court over the years, controlled the government, and caused chaos in the court. It can be said that there are not a few people in the court who are hostile to Yang Guozhong and even want to put him to death, but many people are afraid of Yang Guozhong's obscenity and dare not speak out. There are also some people who have an attitude of not caring about the matter, Yang Guozhong did not persecute himself, or did not conflict with himself, so he did not clash with him head-on, and treated him as an outsider.

Just like Chen Xuanli, in the court, because he doesn't have much to do with Yang Guozhong, there is no direct conflict of interest, and he usually does not rise up against Yang Guozhong at the court. But at the time of the national disaster, because of Yang Guozhong's wrong decision to lead to the defeat of Tongguan, the anger in his heart finally broke out, and it was when the palace people accused Yang Guozhong's behavior, and after Yang Xi led the army to rescue Tongguan, the emperor ordered him to lead the follow-up reinforcements to urgently reinforce, and even wanted to "watch the tiger fight across the mountain", to see that Yang Guozhong and his family were unlucky.

Because this method is relatively hidden, others are not easy to blame, and they are not afraid of the emperor's punishment.

But Yang Guozhong knew about this situation, or he expected that Chen Xuanli would deliberately rub in, so he also met with the emperor again and again, asking the emperor to order Chen Xuanli to speed up his march. Yang Guozhong knew that at this time, any of his orders or requirements were far from being comparable to the emperor's orders, at least in Chen Xuanli. Yang Guozhong also knew that Chen Xuanli was very prejudiced against him, and after the defeat of Geshu Hantong Pass this time, he even stood up in the court and publicly asked the emperor to punish him. This made him hateful, but he also knew that if Chen Xuanli led the army to Tongguan, he would definitely not obey Yang Xi's orders, and maybe Yang Xi would obey Chen Xuanli's orders, which he could not tolerate.

Therefore, after Chen Xuanli led all the follow-up reinforcements to set off, he immediately went to see Emperor Li Longji again.

Before asking to see Li Longji, he also went to the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan and several of Yang Yuhuan's sisters, Mrs. Han, Mrs. Qiuguo, and Mrs. Qin, and told them what he meant, asking them to make a case in front of the emperor.

After getting a few promises from Yang Yuhuan's sisters, Yang Guozhong entered the palace to see the emperor.

Because of the fiasco in the battle of Lingbao, Tongguan became a dangerous city, and Li Longji, who was anxious, was restless, did not think about tea and dinner, and often summoned Yang Guozhong, Wei Jiansu and other ministers to discuss the military situation and countermeasures, and Yang Guozhong asked to see him immediately. When Yang Guozhong invited him to see him, Yang Yuhuan, a concubine dressed in plain dress and looking a little haggard, was carefully beating his back for Li Longji, who was hiding on the couch with his eyes closed, and Yang Guozhong came in and did not avoid seeing him.

"Your Majesty! Chen Xuanli, the general of Zuo Longwu, had already led all the horses and horses to set off," Yang Guozhong stepped forward to salute Li Longji after receiving a glance from Yang Yuhuan, reported the situation first, and immediately requested: "The minister is afraid that they will delay on the road and miss the time to rescue Tongguan, so I implore Your Majesty to issue another edict, and the army will speed up the march and strive to arrive at Tongguan as soon as possible to avoid accidents!"

"Well, I know, I immediately passed on my will, so that Chen Xuanli must speed up his march, and he must arrive at Tongguan before dark tomorrow, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gao Lishi, who was waiting on the side, immediately conveyed Li Longji's order.

After Gao Lishi went to convey the order, Li Longji also opened his half-closed eyes, stared at Yang Guozhong who was standing respectfully in front of him a few times, showed a little bitter smile, sighed and said: "Guozhong, I didn't expect that when the national disaster is at hand, I want your underage son to stand up and preside over military affairs!" I really didn't expect that Shiro would be so brave, after arriving at Tongguan, he rectified military affairs with vigorous and resolute means, and also won the first battle against the rebels of the thieves, severely damaged the rebels, and slowed down the rebels' attack on Tongguan! I am very pleased that you have such a wonderful son!"

"Your Majesty has praised it," Yang Guozhong hurriedly saluted to show his modesty, "The dog dares to do this, it is because the minister is too favored, so that he is lawless!" Fortunately, he was so lawless that he actually fought crookedly and won several battles! Your Majesty, the minister is also very surprised that the dog has such ability, and I hope that he will have more amazing performances in the follow-up defense of the city, and can finally stop the rebels in front of Tongguan City!"

At this time, Yang Yuhuan, who had not spoken, and was very careful to beat Li Longji's back, spoke, "Your Majesty, the concubine said a long time ago, our Yang family has never lacked capable people, Guozhong is so capable, Shiro is even better than the blue, and he has such ability in the year of the weak crown, and he can lead the army to defend Tongguan and give the rebels a heavy blow, which is really surprising!" As the saying goes, ambition is not in old age, judging from the fact that Ge Shuhan, Wang Sili, Li Chengguang and other generals are now willing to obey Shiro's dispatch and command, Shiro's performance may be even better than we imagined!"

"Well, what Yuhuan said is right, Shiro is indeed capable, I am now counting on him to command the generals of Tongguan and block the rebels from the city!" Speaking of this, Li Longji showed a little smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Yang Guozhong, and said with a little emotion: "Guozhong, I see that Shiro's methods of handling things are even more decisive than yours, and he has successively beheaded the king of Yanshan County, Huo Guiren, and the supervising army Bian Lingcheng in the army!" He called it decisiveness, but I knew that he was doing this to show his determination and gain the support of the generals, and now it seems that he succeeded! I guess his performance will be even more surprising in the future!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also hopes that he can do better, to block the rebels outside Tongguan City, and even to severely damage the rebels and defeat the rebels," Yang Guozhong echoed Li Longji's words, and immediately said the purpose of his entry into the palace this time: "But Your Majesty, the minister is still worried!" After all, Shiro is young, and it is difficult to control generals such as Ge Shuhan, Li Chengguang, and Wang Sili, and now these people should be afraid of His Majesty's heavenly power and dare not dismiss Shiro's will, so they temporarily obey Shiro's dispatch and command! This should be related to the fact that Ge Shuhan lost all the soldiers and horses in his hands, if Ge Shuhan still had a large number of soldiers and horses in his hands, he would definitely not obey Shiro's command! The minister is worried that Shiro can't control so many generals, let alone Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu who led tens of thousands of horses to aid Tongguan!"

"Oh?!" Li Longji responded softly, with a noncommittal look, his eyes staring at Yang Guozhong, and asked Yang Guozhong to continue.

Yang Guozhong also immediately said the following: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to remove Ge Shuhan from the post of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, and now there is no marshal of the army on the Tongguan front, whether it is Ge Shuhan, or Chen Xuanli, or even Wang Sili, Li Chengguang and others in the army are not lower than Shiro, the minister wants to implore Your Majesty to grant Shiro the post of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, and dispatch and command all armies as a marshal, so that there will be no situation where military orders cannot be effectively implemented!"

After Yang Guozhong finished speaking, he looked at Li Longji very nervously, and glanced at Yang Yuhuan covertly!

Yang Yuhuan nodded slightly, ready to say something more when Li Longji hesitated.
