(Thank you for listening to the rain rose and returning to the Tang book friends for the reward)

"Your Majesty, don't do that!"

The first to stand up against Li Heng's proposal was Ge Shuhan.

In the surprise of the ministers and the surprise of Li Longji and Li Heng, the elder brother Shu Han played: "Your Majesty, Marshal Yang has just led the army to win the victory of the Tongguan defensive battle, and subdued the generals of Tongguan, Marshal Yang commanded properly in the command of the Tongguan defensive battle, very courageous, and outstanding military talent, so that the criminal ministers are very admired, and now the great cause of counterinsurgency is unfinished, Tongguan is still the pass that the rebels want to capture the most, if another general is sent to command the Tongguan war, it is necessary to re-familiarize himself with the affairs of Tongguan, the generals will not necessarily obey the command, that will be a big deal." The siege of the rebels may continue forever, and it is taboo to change the battle, so the minister feels that Marshal Yang should continue to command the military affairs of Tongguan! The minister also supports what Marshal Yang just said, we must defend the city according to the Tong Pass, and we can't easily go out of the pass to fight, otherwise the tragedy of Lingbao may be repeated!"

Before the defeat of Lingbao, the situation in Tongguan was even better than now, after six months of hard work by the rebels, they retreated to the vicinity of Shaanxi County, at that time the morale of the rebels was very low, after the battle of Lingbao, the morale of the rebels was greatly boosted, even if the attack on Tongguan could not be, the morale was far better than before, according to the latest report, the rebels set up ambush points in many places along the way, which is to expect our army to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and fight the battle of Lingbao again. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to lead the army out of the customs to fight, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

Ge Shuhan judged that the rebels would still attack Tongguan again, and he hoped that Yang Xi would still lead the army to defend it.

He thought like this, said this, it didn't mean that the rift with Yang Guozhong was gone, he just considered the overall situation, and also recognized Yang Xi's ability, and didn't want to cause chaos in Tongguan to reappear because of the temporary change, so he would make a speech immediately after Li Heng proposed a change of coach.

Of course, he and Li Heng don't have a good relationship, otherwise he wouldn't be the first to stand up and express this proposal.

Although Ge Shuhan was dismissed from all positions by the imperial court, his prestige is still there, in the end, this veteran has experienced a hundred battles, rarely defeated, almost every battle before the battle of Lingbao must be won, he said this from the perspective of the overall situation, even Li Heng is not good to stand up and insist on his own opinion, other courtiers who originally had this intention also retreated after listening to Ge Shuhan's words.

However, at this time, Yang Guozhong stood up and saluted Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the minister is also worried that Yang Xi is not capable of continuing to command the follow-up war, and the minister supports the imperial court to appoint another general to command the army of Tongguan, and command the army to be responsible for the follow-up counterinsurgency war!" Yang Xi is young, and he has never fought in the army before, and this time he was able to command the Tongguan armies to win the defensive battle, thanks to his bold and reckless personality, as well as God's divine help! But the minister is worried that he will disappoint His Majesty by continuing to lead the army, so he suggests that Your Majesty should choose another one to lead the army!"

Yang Guozhong said this because he was worried that Yang Xi would continue to command the war and suffer defeats, and the prestige and military exploits he had established before would be ruined, so it was better to accept it when he saw it, throw the hot potato of Tongguan to others, and hand over the heavy task of quelling the rebellion to others to command.

Yang Xi's military exploits are already very large, and he can get very big rewards with this military exploits.

This is Yang Xi's capital, the glory of the Yang family, with these military exploits can gain a foothold in the court, and there will be follow-up development. Of course, Yang Guozhong was also careful that Yang Xi encountered an accident when he was in command of the operation, was injured or died, in which case he would not have time to cry.

Yang Xi can't fully understand what Yang Guozhong thinks, but no matter what Yang Guozhong thinks, he will not give up the opportunity to continue to lead the army, he also expressed this opinion in the letter to Yang Guozhong before, but he didn't expect Yang Guozhong to ignore it, or disagree with what he said, it seems that he will communicate with Yang Guozhong in a while, and tell his father in detail about the benefits and disadvantages.

Yang Xi didn't want to express a different opinion from his father in the palace, so he didn't stand up and say anything, he believed that Li Longji could not make a decision on such a big matter immediately, and after Yang Guozhong retreated, he exchanged looks, Yang Guozhong understood the meaning in his eyes a little, and after hesitating for a moment, he glanced at Wei Fangjin.

Wei Fangjin immediately stood up, and after saluting Li Longji on the throne, he generously said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with Yang Xianggong's statement, and the minister thinks that the words of the old general Geshu are reasonable, and it is taboo to change the battle at the moment, and Marshal Yang should be allowed to continue to command the soldiers and horses of Tongguan!"

Wei Jiansu also stood up and echoed Wei Fangjin's intentions, but he also mainly considered the overall situation and thought that it would not be advisable to change the battle.

Xiao Hua, the squire of the military department, stood up and opposed letting Yang Xi continue to command the troops and horses of Tongguan, the reason for the opposition was that Yang Xi was too young to fully control the situation, and he was inexperienced enough to deal with the rapidly changing battlefield situation, and if the battle was unfavorable, it would be a disaster.

However, Wei Fangjin, who supported Yang Xi to continue to lead the army, immediately ridiculed him, saying that Huo Bixiao of the Han Dynasty was only seventeen years old when he led the army, and he was only about twenty when he made immortal achievements, and Emperor Taizong was only sixteen years old when he led the army to relieve the siege of Yanmen.

The court was arguing, and the emperor Li Longji on the throne also frowned, and while the ministers continued to quarrel, Yang Guozhong coughed vigorously a few times, walked to the front of the hall, and saluted Li Longji: "Your Majesty, you should think about this matter before making a decision!" Today's noisy argument can't come to a conclusion! Presumably, Yang Xi returns, there are still many important things to be reported to His Majesty alone, and everything will be considered after Yang Xi has reported the matter!"

Hearing Yang Guozhong say the same, Li Longji immediately agreed after thinking about it, and waved his hand to signal the ministers to stop arguing, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't make any more noise, this matter will be decided after I think about it, and disperse the dynasty!"

As he spoke, he didn't pay attention to the reactions of the ministers in the palace, and left. Colliers, who was standing beside him, immediately followed.

Li Longji left so decisively, which surprised Yang Xi, isn't there a lot of important things to be discussed at today's court meeting? After making a lot of noise, Li Longji did not continue to preside over the court meeting, and discussed with the ministers, how Ge Shuhan, a veteran, would be punished, and he didn't say whether he would be punished, this emperor was really a little incompetent.

The emperor left, and the ministers couldn't continue to argue, so they left the Xingqing Hall one after another, alone or together.

Yang Guozhong also whispered a few words to Wei Fangjin and Wei Jiansu, and then called a little eunuch, and after whispering a few words, he asked Yang Xi to go with him to face the saint.

"Father, why do you object to letting the child continue to lead the army in Tongguan?" When he went to Li Longji's dormitory with Yang Guozhong, Yang Xi asked bluntly.

Yang Guozhong said a little embarrassed: "Xi'er, my father is afraid that you will have an accident in Tongguan, the sword and arrow on the battlefield are ruthless, if you have three long and two short, your mother will cry to death!"

Pei Rou already knew about Yang Xi's going to Tongguan to lead the army, and she cried and made a fuss in the house for several days, but Yang Guozhong didn't dare to go back, for fear of facing his wife's crying. In the face of his son's questioning, he could only explain this reason first, and after seeing that there was no one on the side, he said his other thoughts, saying that he would accept it if he wanted to see it, and not let Yang Xi take any more risks, so as not to have an accident.

"Father, please rest assured, as long as the court does not interfere with the child's decision, the child will definitely be able to command his subordinates, continue to win the battle, and continue to make meritorious contributions!" Yang Xi lowered his voice and said to his father: "My father does not have many cronies in the army, and the child has now subdued the generals of Tongguan, if these people can be used by his father in the future, then his father's influence on the way of civil and military affairs will be very great, and the child will have more prestige in the army, which should be what my father wants to see the most!"

Yang Xi's bold words stunned Yang Guozhong!
