The subordinate's report was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which blew up Yang Guozhong and shocked Yang Xi.

Oh my God, the most terrifying thing really happened!

Ge Shuhan was defeated, 200,000 soldiers and horses were destroyed, and finally only 8,000 remnants fled back to Tongguan---- cruel events in the historical records really happened, even if he had not seen the scene of the defeat, Yang Xi could feel the bloodshed outside Tongguan City!

Why didn't Yang Guozhong listen to his repeated advice a few days ago? Why didn't Yang Guozhong tell him the first time he said it, and the imperial court had ordered Ge Shuhan to lead the army into battle? Why didn't he say it to Yang Guozhong in a tougher posture and more direct words? Oh my God, how can this be!

Yang Xi had the urge to cry!

What to do? Geshuhan has been defeated, and Tongguan is about to be lost. After the news of the loss of Tongguan came, Li Longji immediately prepared to flee, and Chang'an also fell, and those tragic events in the historical records will occur one after another, and the direction of the wheel of history will roll forward inexorably, crushing many people into pieces, including him, Yang Guozhong's youngest son Yang Xi!

Yang Xi, who was born as a scout, was at a loss because of the hard training and the environment in which he was tempered, and Yang Guozhong, who had never thought that there would be such a result, was even more dumbfounded, just standing in a daze, looking depressed.

"Father, we must let the imperial court increase the troops of Tongguan as quickly as possible, and strengthen the defense of Tongguan while Tongguan has not fallen into the hands of the rebels to ensure that Tongguan is not lost!" Yang Xi reacted one step earlier than Yang Guozhong, ignoring that the person in front of him was his "father", and shouted loudly: "It's still morning, there is still a long time before dark, if you gather people and horses immediately and reinforce Tongguan, you can reach Tongguan as soon as tomorrow morning, as long as the rebels do not take advantage of the defeat of the official army to follow the siege, Tongguan may still be held!" Father, don't hesitate, immediately enter the palace to pay homage to the emperor, and send a large army to reinforce Tongguan quickly, otherwise Tongguan will fall, and Chang'an will not be able to defend it! Father !!"

Wang Chen's last few words, which were almost angry, were finally woken up by the stunned and frightened Yang Guozhong, but he was still at a loss, and he didn't react until Yang Xi repeated his request again, and rushed out in a hurry without saying a word.

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately followed.

"Father, let the child accompany you into the palace, maybe the child can help the father say something!"

Yang Guozhong stopped, looked at his youngest son's resolute expression, and did not refuse, and said while walking out quickly: "Okay, Xi'er, then you will enter the palace with your father, and you can talk to Your Majesty with your father in a while!"

What Yang Xi said just now was too unexpected, and he almost expected the defeat of Ge Shuhan, and Yang Guozhong was of course impressed by his youngest son. Yili proposed that Ge Shuhan go all out to attack is his suggestion, it can be said that his suggestion led to this disaster, the emperor will definitely be angry with him, and even blame heavily, it is possible to kill like a scapegoat, Yang Xi just said, of course it is very good when he first responds to Tongguan, when he enters the palace to ask for guilt and ask for a plan, he takes Yang Xi into the palace together, so that this son with a big change of heart can say a few words, maybe there will be unexpected gains!

The subordinates had already prepared fast horses, and after the father and son stepped on the horses, they galloped away and hurried in the direction of Xingqing Palace.

Yang Xi, whose mind was all on the battle of Tongguan, didn't even think about how he could be so skilled in horseback riding.

Arrived outside the Xingqing Palace, after getting off the horse, he didn't let people go in to report, Yang Guozhong took Yang Xi into the palace. In such an emergency, the emperor must have received a military report, no matter what the emperor will do with him, he must enter the palace as soon as possible, so as to make the emperor less angry.

When Yang Guozhong took Yang Xi straight to Li Longji's dormitory, Li Longji, who received the report of the Tongguan fiasco, had already sent a eunuch to invite him, and Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi followed the eunuch and went to Li Longji's residence!

On the way to the palace, Yang Guozhong also told Yang Xi what he had never told Yang Xi before.

After listening to what Yang Guozhong said, Yang Xi also knew the general situation. After the imperial court ordered Ge Shuhan to go out of the pass to fight, Ge Shuhan argued on the basis of reason, insisted on guarding the pass, and made many folds in a row, imploring the emperor to withdraw his order. At the time when the imperial court ordered Ge Shuhan to go out of the pass to fight a decisive battle with the rebels, the imperial court received a recital from Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who were far away in Hebei. If the city is not guarded, there will be changes in the capital, and the chaos in the world will be peaceful!"

But the imperial court still repeatedly ordered Ge Shuhan to go out to fight, and under the persecution of the imperial court, Ge Shuhan could only lead 200,000 horses to fight!

Hearing Yang Guozhong say this, Yang Xi really sighed speechlessly, and felt an extreme disgust for his father, for his own selfish interests, he even ignored the national righteousness of the country and the nation, and forced Ge Shuhan to go out to fight, which eventually led to a fiasco and brought disaster to Datang!

If he was based on his temperament, at this time, he really wanted to pick up Yang Guozhong, beat him hard to relieve his anger, and even killed him with a knife.

But he can't do these casual things now, he has to try to calm himself down, only when he calms down can he solve good things!

When he was about to arrive at Li Longji's dormitory, Yang Guozhong also told Yang Xi about some other things.

After the imperial court killed Feng Changqing and Gao Renzhi, and ordered Ge Shuhan to lead the army in Tongguan, in order to prevent an emergency, Yang Guozhong selected 3,000 people to train in the forbidden garden with the consent of Li Longji, and ordered the commanders of the Southern Army of Jiannan, such as Li Fude and Liu Guangting, to prepare for use, just in case; He also recruited 10,000 soldiers to be stationed in Bashang, led by his confidant general Du Qianyun, nominally to defend against An Lushan's rebels, but in fact to guard against the possible defection of the Geshu Dynasty against him. However, this plan was discovered by Ge Shuhan, and on the first day of June, Ge Shuhan designed to kill Du Qianyun and bring these 10,000 people under his command.

Yang Guozhong has not explained everything clearly, the father and son have arrived outside Li Longji's bedroom, and Li Longji's henchman eunuch Gao Lishi personally welcomed the two into the palace, and whispered to Yang Guozhong that the emperor was in a rage and wanted them to talk!

The first time he saw the legendary eunuch Gao Lishi who was loyal to Li Longji, and was reminded by him, Yang Xi actually had a good impression of Gao Lishi, who looked very kind. But he also knows that people who can mix in this role can hide any mentality, and can show a kind smile to you under any circumstances.

Entering the hall, the sharp-eyed Yang Xi saw an old man with white hair sitting in the hall, with his chin in his hands and his eyes closed, without any essence. This must be Li Longji, the famous Tang Xuanzong in history, but it didn't make Yang Xi feel the majesty of any emperor. Just when Yang Xi wanted to take a closer look at Li Longji, Yang Guozhong walked to the front of the hall, knelt down without making a sound, and after kowtowing a few times, he pleaded guilty to Li Longji in the palace and said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is here to ask you, the Tongguan army was defeated, the minister is the culprit, and please ask Your Majesty to blame!"

Yang Xi was stunned there, hesitating whether to kneel down or not. Of course, he knew that his father had knelt down to plead guilty, and he would definitely kneel with him, but his arrogant nature and the knee that he had never knelt down to anyone in later memories made him hesitate, and he didn't kneel down immediately!

However, his action drew the side eyes of the golliers who stood on the side.

Li Longji, who was about to reluctantly follow and knelt down, was awakened by Yang Guozhong's actions, and spoke: "Yang Shilang, help your father up!"

Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, immediately stepped forward, and picked up Yang Guozhong, who was kneeling on the ground and constantly kowtowing to plead guilty.

"Guozhong, there is no need to be like this, I know that you are loyal to do things for me, and Ling Ge Shuhan led the army to take the initiative to attack in the hope of quelling the rebellion as soon as possible! The defeat of Tongguan is not your responsibility, but Ge Shuhan's ineffective combat led to the fiasco!" In the surprise of everyone in the palace, Li Longji actually exonerated Yang Guozhong, and when Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi looked up in amazement, the haggard old man said in a hoarse voice: "Guozhong, I summoned you to the palace today, not to blame you for your crimes, but to ask you for your ideas, how to deal with the fiasco in Tongguan!"

After receiving the defeat of the Tongguan army, Li Longji immediately summoned his ministers to the palace to urgently discuss countermeasures, Yang Guozhong was the first to enter the palace, and he came to him in less than a quarter of an hour after he sent someone to pass it, which made Li Longji very pleased.

Of course, he has the intention of blaming Yang Guozhong, but now that the military situation is urgent, the punishment must be after the fact, not now!

What's more, now Yang Guozhong is one of the few people he can trust the most!

The emperor did not blame the palace, although this was expected by Yang Guozhong, but he was still greatly relieved, after listening to Li Longji say this, he glanced at Yang Xi beside him, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a general should be sent quickly, and the army should rush to Tongguan urgently, and there is no time to delay!" As long as Tongguan can be defended, the rebels still can't attack Chang'an!"

Before Yang Guozhong finished speaking, before Li Longji could agree, Yang Xi stood up "just right" and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the army to rush to Tongguan, save Tong in danger, and atone for his father, and relieve this crisis for Datang!"

"What?" "Huh?!" Li Longji, who was sitting in the hall, and Yang Guozhong, who was beside Yang Xi, exclaimed at the same time, but Yang Guozhong's exclamation was ignored by Li Longji, who was focused on Yang Xi! Li Longji saw that Yang Xi stood up and asked for his life after Yang Guozhong's proposal, thinking that the father and son had already discussed it, and today when the palace proposed to him, he was stunned!

It's just that he can't understand why Yang Guozhong would let his youngest son, who is only seventeen years old, go on such an urgent task?

Seeing that his proposal had been effective, Li Longji was looking at him in surprise, and Yang Guozhong didn't immediately stand up and say anything to stop anything, Yang Xi immediately took advantage of the situation and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace with his father today, just to ask His Majesty to lead the army in person!" The minister is willing to lead an army to rescue Tongguan and relieve the danger of Tongguan, and my father will agree to this! The minister is willing to make a military order, if he can't solve the danger of Tongguan, he is willing to accept any punishment from His Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty for permission to let the minister lead an army to first aid Tongguan!"
