Yang Xi, who had already changed into a light armor, accompanied by Yang Guozhong, rode to this army, which according to Yang Guozhong was the most elite in Chang'an City, and was ready to lead the army to set off after giving some instructions.

The three hundred generals of the Fuzhong family have also assembled nearby under Yang Guozhong's order, waiting for the order, and escorting Yang Xi to set off together.

This is the private soldier of the house, which belongs to Yang Guozhong personally, and they are all loyal people, led by Yang Dong, the head of the nursing home.

These 300 people are usually the minions of the house, guarding the home and the hospital, acting as thugs, it can be said that they are all extremely vicious, they have fought, killed people, and done many unsightly things, and their training and treatment are better than those of ordinary sergeants.

There will be more than 400 people in Yang Guozhong's upper nursing home, and most of them were handed over to Yang Xi to lead this time, which also shows the love shown by Yang Guozhong, as well as the importance of this operation. Everyone knows that most of the people who can save the Lord's life at the critical moment are private soldiers led by him. It can be said that Yang Guozhong put Yang Xi's life in the hands of the private soldiers he raised, and repeatedly ordered that Yang Xi should not be allowed to miss under any circumstances.

Yang Guozhong rode his horse to the neatly lined up 3,000 men and horses, admonished him, and told Li Defu and Liu Guangting, the two generals, and the sergeants under their command that this time the army would be led by his fourth son Yang Xi to gallop through Tongguan to save Tong in danger, and the soldiers should strictly abide by Yang Xi's orders and not make mistakes.

After Yang Guozhong finished a few words of admonition, Yang Xi stepped forward, standing proudly on the horse, looking at the neatly lined up sergeants with a cold face, and roared in a very majestic voice: "Brothers, Tongguan is in danger, we need to go to the rescue immediately, and the soldiers and horses will not say much if they are superfluous, there is only one sentence, that is, strictly abide by the orders of the soldiers and horses, and kill the enemy desperately.

Saying "Bang Dang", he pulled out the saber that he had just worn for a while from his waist, cut off the flag in the hand of a junior colonel next to him with a very fast movement, swung the sword back to the sheath without any side eyes, and then roared angrily: "Pass on the military order of the soldiers and horses, and the whole army will set off immediately!"

The murderous aura that naturally flowed out of Yang Xi's words made Li Fude and Liu Guangting, the two Yang Guozhong's cronies on the side, feel it, and made them can't help but shiver, and Yang Guozhong, who was standing with Yang Xi, also felt this way, which made him very shocked.

When did this son of his own have this kind of momentum revealed? But now is not the time to explore this, Yang Xi's outpouring of momentum made Yang Guozhong relieved, there was this kind of decisive performance, after going to Tongguan, Yang Guozhong was no longer too worried about whether his youngest son could dominate the generals, as long as Yang Xi did not pretend on purpose.

With Yang Xi's order issued, the two generals, Li Defu and Liu Guangting, had already ordered the sergeant to set off after the promise, and took the lead in galloping. For a while, outside the palace, on the street in the direction of Tonghua Gate, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

Watching the sergeants set off one after another, Yang Xi turned his horse's head, saluted Yang Guozhong on his side, and said: "Father, please go back, the child is about to set off, the child must live up to the holy hope, not disgrace his father, arrive at Tongguan as soon as possible, block the rebels of the thieves outside Tongguan City, make a long face for my father, eliminate the impending disaster for my Datang, and eliminate the impending disaster for our Yang family!"

Yang Guozhong looked a little old and tearful, looked at Yang Xi with pity, and choked up: "Xi'er, everything must be careful!" If the situation in Tongguan is urgent, you must ensure your own safety! Your mother doesn't know that you're going to Tongguan, if she does, I don't know how worried she will be!"

"Father, don't worry, just wait for the good news from the child!" Yang Xi saluted again, that is, pulled out the horse's head, and with a sound of "driving", chased after the sergeant who had already walked halfway. The three hundred generals led by Yang Dong also quickly followed!

The elite people and horses mentioned by Yang Guozhong are really different in all aspects.

It was a scorching summer day, and they set off at the hottest time of the afternoon, and the surface temperature was very high under the scorching sun. However, in such a devastating weather situation, the three thousand sergeants still strictly obeyed the order and marched eastward as fast as possible, and no one dared to slack off.

From Chang'an to sunset, about three hours or so, the brigade has traveled to the vicinity of Weinan, and it is roughly estimated that it has walked nearly 100 miles. In the scorching hot weather, people and horses can have this marching speed, and only a few sergeants can not bear to fall down on the way, and the horses are not damaged, so Yang Xi has a snack. Weinan is still about one hundred and sixty miles away from Tongguan, and then it is night time, although it is said that the speed of traveling at night is not up to the daytime, but the night is cool, and the discomfort of people and horses will be reduced, and it should be okay to travel one hundred and sixty miles in one night.

Yang Xi ordered to rest for a while, replenish a batch of war horses from Weinan to replace the horses that were physically exhausted, and the sergeant did not stop and continued to set off, and food and drinking were replenished on the horse. This made Li Defu and Liu Guangting puzzled and complained.

But under Yang Xi's explanation and stern orders, he did not dare to disobey the order and commanded the sergeant to continue to advance.

After nightfall, on the official road from Weinan to Tongguan, you can see a long dragon lit with torches, marching quickly.

On the way, Yang Xi has encountered several galloping post station fast horses, all of which were from Tongguan to Chang'an to send emergency reports for help.

This made Yang Xi put a snack, and there was an urgent report for help to Chang'an, but he did not encounter a rout, indicating that Tongguan was still in the hands of Ge Shuhan and was not captured by the rebels, which was a great luck. If Tongguan falls into the hands of the rebels, it will be too difficult to recapture Tongguan with his 3,000 soldiers and horses. Unless the rebels do not strengthen their defense after capturing Tongguan and in the excitement, they will give him a chance to make a surprise attack!

"I hope the heavens can help me get there before the fall of Tongguan!" This is the prayer that Yang Xi sent out from time to time during his journey.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

It's almost early in the morning, and the lights are still bright on the head of Tongguan City, and the sergeants patrolling back and forth are continuous!

Ge Shuhan, who led the remnants to flee back to Guan, ordered the remnants to strengthen the guard, without any slackness, to prevent the rebels of An Lushan from taking the opportunity to attack the city.

At the same time, he repeatedly sent envoys to ask the imperial court to send a large army to rescue, and he has sent six waves of men and horses in a row to ask the imperial court to rescue.

Ge Shuhan knew that if the imperial court did not immediately send troops to rescue, with only these remnants of his subordinates who were less than 10,000 defeated, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream, and it would be difficult to ascend to the sky. However, Ge Shuhan is a battle-hardened general, who has fought countless battles, and he knows that it is not realistic to pin all his hopes on the imperial court to rescue the soldiers, and many times he has to rely on himself, even if the imperial court immediately sends a general to help after receiving the distress emergency report he sent, but it will take two days to arrive at Tongguan at the earliest. After the rebels won a big victory, they would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and before the imperial court rescued the soldiers and horses to Tongguan, how to defend the city was a very challenging thing, and he must arrange it properly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ge Shuhan knew the importance of Tongguan to Chang'an, which was why he repeatedly insisted on the principle of only defending the pass and not going out of the city to fight. Blocking the rebels outside Tongguan City, fighting a war of attrition with the rebels, waiting for the arrival of King Qin's army, and preventing the rebels from driving straight into Chang'an, this is the most important thing that can be done at present, and it is also the most correct behavior. But the short-sighted people in the court, especially the prime minister Yang Guozhong, repeatedly bewitched the emperor and ordered him to lead the army out of the customs to fight, and the front car of Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi made him dare not disobey, and finally after three failed struggles, when the order of the imperial court to let him go out of the customs to fight came for the fourth time, he was forced to lead most of his men and horses out of the city to fight with the main force of the rebels.

Although he was forced to fight, he was still cautious, and the nearly 200,000 troops advanced in several sections to prevent an ambush!

But man is not as good as heaven, so cautious, he was still ambushed by the rebels in the pass.

As expected, Ge Shuhan also immediately took countermeasures, ordered the felt cart to open the way, and prepared to forcibly break through the pass, go around to the rear of the rebels, and defeat the rebels with superior forces. However, the rebels resorted to fire, and the entire valley was sealed by a fire of hay, and the front army could no longer withstand the fire and the arrows, long logs, and stones overhead, and were quickly defeated. And there is only one way out, and that is to escape when you come and go.

Tens of thousands of rout troops fled back, and the 100,000 horses and horses behind were also disorganized, and the rebel troops took turns to attack the routed officers and troops, and Ge Shuhan could not control the situation at all, and finally under the escort of hundreds of horsemen and cronies, he crossed the Yellow River from the west of Shouyang Mountain, and then circled back to Tongguan.

Fortunately, he still left 3,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, and with the response of these 3,000 soldiers and horses, Tongguan would not be abandoned.

After a preliminary inventory, less than 8,000 of the 200,000 troops who left the pass fled back to Tongguan.

Outside Tongguan City, the forbidden ditch that was originally used to repel the enemy and was several zhang deep was filled by the soldiers of the Tang Army. Many of the sergeants who were fortunate enough to escape back to Tongguan only returned to the city after stepping on the corpses of their companions in the forbidden ditch.

The defeat of 200,000 men in a single day made Goshuhan almost hopeless.

But he still didn't give up, and wanted to rely on more than 10,000 defeated soldiers to defend with the danger of Tongguan, and at the same time sent people to collect the lost defeated soldiers.

Ge Shuhan believed that as long as the soldiers and horses rescued by the imperial court arrived in time, they would still be able to hold Tongguan.

But now the forbidden ditch is filled with the corpses of the escaped sergeants, which is a headache for Ge Shuhan.

Originally, it was possible to resist the enemy with the natural terrain of the forbidden ditch, so that the enemy could not be under the city of Tongguan, but now it has been filled with corpses, and the rebels can step on the corpses to attack the city of Tongguan and launch siege operations.

Geshuhan had ordered a sergeant to clean up the corpses in the forbidden ditch overnight, and sent people to collect the nearby routs in preparation for the siege of the rebels after dawn. The task has been arranged, and Ge Shuhan is very tired and sleepy, but he is not sleepy at all, and he is still thinking hard about countermeasures against the enemy.

Originally, he was back to Beijing to recuperate, and he was suffering from an injury that had fallen after many years of fighting, such as today's heat, and the escape from the chaos made him injured again, in order to maintain his strength, he also reclined on the couch, closed his eyes and thought about the problem.

At this moment, there was movement outside the door, and there were loud words, as if a team of men and horses were coming this way, as if there was a sergeant shouting in horror, Ge Shuhan frowned in displeasure, and was about to loudly reprimand the sergeant guarding outside, the enemy has not yet arrived, how can he be so flustered!

"Marshal, it's the last general!"

With an answering voice, a burly general in armor flashed into the room, followed by several generals and sergeants. This is one of the top ten generals of Longyou promoted by Ge Shuhan, Tejin, the governor of Huoba Prefecture, and the king of Yanshan County. Huoba Queron was one of the generals who fled back an hour before Geshuhan returned to Tongguan. A few hours earlier, Goshuhan had given him the task of defending the southern city.

"King of Yanshan County, what do you have to report to Ben Shuai?" At this time, Huo Ba Gui Ren left his post without permission and did not lead the army in his own position, which made Ge Shuhan very displeased, and immediately sat up and glared at Huo Ba Gui Ren.

Huo Ba Guiren stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Marshal, because of the incompetent people in the DPRK and China, our army has suffered a great defeat, 200,000 soldiers and horses are gone, and we are no longer able to fight against the rebels.

"What's the matter?" Ge Shuhan's brow furrowed even tighter!

"Marshal, we can't confront the rebels, Tongguan must not be protected, Tongguan is not guaranteed, Chang'an will be lost, An Lushan is inevitable to take the world, even if the current court can no longer resist the rebels, if we abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, surrender to Dayan, and ask the Dayan Emperor to surrender, then we can continue to be glorious and precious!" Huo Ba Guiren respectfully pleaded with Geshuhan.

"What?" Ge Shuhan was shocked and got up from the couch at once!
