"Report to the Yang soldiers and horses, fifteen miles ahead is Tongguan City!"

A team of sergeants with torches in their hands rode up to Yang Xi and reported loudly.

"Got it! Order the soldiers to speed up the march and strive to enter Tongguan City as soon as possible!"

General Yang Xi did not stop his horse, and after giving a loud order, he continued to gallop forward.

When he was about to reach Tongguan City, he encountered more and more defeated soldiers, and even blocked the official road, which directly affected the marching speed of the sergeant led by Yang Xi, and he had to order his subordinate Liu Guangting to lead two hundred men and horses to drive and collect the defeated troops, and order them to return to Tongguan.

Now there will definitely not be many soldiers and horses in Tongguan, and there are many soldiers who have fled back, if these soldiers who have fled can be organized, they can be pacified and let them rejoin the battle and increase the strength of defending the city.

As a close confidant of his father Yang Guozhong, Liu Guangting's loyalty should be no problem, along the way, Yang Xi has also seen the ability of this mid-term general in his thirties to lead the army, and Liu Guangting's ability in all aspects is still quite good.

The task of collecting the rout was given to him, and the rout army was organized, Yang Xi felt that Liu Guangting could complete this task.

Maybe it's going to be a new force!

The speed affected a little, but in the end it was still more than an hour earlier than expected. It's still the middle of the night, the whole world is dark, and there is still about an hour before dawn, that is, two hours, about four o'clock in summer!

Being able to arrive at Tongguan before dawn, and only encountered some routs along the way, and did not hear the news that Tongguan was occupied by the rebels, which made Yang Xi's mind calm down a lot, and some of the plots in the book "Anshi Rebellion" that he read before crossing appeared in front of him.

If his memory is correct, in the end, Ge Shuhan was taken hostage by a subordinate general to the camp of An Lushan rebels, and after seeing An Lushan, he surrendered willingly, and then Tongguan was also occupied by the rebels. There was no good news back from Tongguan, Li Longji knew that the situation was not good, and fled before the rebels could attack the city of Chang'an, and Ge Shuhan was finally killed by An Qingxu, and his reputation was in vain.

While sighing for the loss of Ge Shuhan's late festival in the original history, Yang Xi also thought of another thing, slowed down the speed of travel at the moment, called the relatives who followed him, and immediately sent a signal of peace to Chang'an.

When the news of Tongguan's safety returned to Chang'an, Li Longji would definitely feel more at ease and would not flee as soon as he did in the original history. But it is not enough to send back the news of peace, Li Longji, who has become a frightened bird, may eventually escape, and he also changed his mind at the moment and sent back the news of "safer", and the report said that his department has successfully arrived in Tongguan, Tongguan is safe, don't worry too much!

Of course, at the same time as the news came, Yang Xi once again begged the follow-up army to arrive faster to defeat the rebels besieging the city!

After ordering the sergeant to send back the news of peace and his request at an expedited speed of 600 miles through the post station, Yang Xi continued to ride his horse forward, preparing to attack Tongguan City, and strictly ordered the sergeant to march as fast as possible, even if he ran a dead horse.

Regardless of whether Ge Shuhan's abduction will happen now, Yang Xi wants to arrive at Tongguan as soon as possible and take over the defense of Tongguan City from Ge Shuhan. Arriving earlier could have prevented this from happening, and he couldn't think of the name of the general who had kidnapped Ge Shuhan, but if he heard the name of this person, he would know it immediately.

When you arrive in Tongguan City, in addition to immediately taking over the defense and controlling Tongguan, these people with different intentions must be eliminated immediately, at least to control them. He didn't want him to arrive at Tongguan, and after commanding the soldiers to defend the city, he was stabbed in the back, which was too unjust!

The horses marched at the fastest speed, and the fifteen-mile distance passed quickly, and the lights at the head of Tongguan City were already faintly visible, and the joy in Yang Xi's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Command the whole army, speed up the march again, and enter the city immediately!"

After discovering that it was only fifteen miles away from Tongguan City, Yang Xi had already ordered the sergeants to take the emperor's order to go to the gate first, and ordered the guards of Tongguan West City to open the city gate and let them three thousand people enter the city! When he vaguely saw the lights on the head of Tongguan City, Tanma had already come to report that Pang Zhong, the guard of the west gate of Tongguan, had opened the city gate and personally went out of the city to welcome Wang Shi's rescue.

After hearing the news, Yang Xi was overjoyed again, and ordered the pro-soldiers and generals around him to march with him at the fastest speed, catch up with the other sergeants, and lead the way into the city! Soon, the long dragons of the two teams of torches met outside the west gate of Tongguan in the cave!

Knowing that the rescue men and horses sent by the imperial court have arrived outside Tongguan City, Pang Zhong, who is disheartened because of such a big defeat, I don't know what words to use to describe the joy of the moment, "sending charcoal in the snow" almost refers to the current situation, right? The city of Tongguan was full of defeated soldiers and demoralized, and if he heard that the army sent by the imperial court to rescue had arrived before dawn, the morale would have been greatly boosted.

At least Pang Zhong's mood now is much better than when he fled back to Tongguan!

However, the good mood only lasted for a while, and when he stepped forward and saw who was rushing over, his heart immediately sank to the bottom of the water.

The leader turned out to be Yang Guozhong's fourth son, Yang Xi.

Pang Zhong knew Yang Guozhong's sons, but he didn't know each other well and didn't have any intersections, but he knew the entanglement between Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan.

He and Wang Sili persuaded Yang Guozhong many times to lure Yang Guozhong to Tongguan to hunt and kill, but they were vetoed by Ge Shuhan! Now that Ge Shuhan has been defeated, the imperial court actually sent Yang Guozhong's son to lead the troops to rescue, isn't that very clear, he must cure Ge Shuhan's crime and take over the military affairs of Tongguan! The joy was gone, and an unspeakable anger and sorrow came up, and Pang Zhong had the idea of capturing Yang Xi to death.

Of course, Yang Xi knew the contradiction between his father who "brought disaster to the country and the people" and Ge Shuhan and Ge Shuhan's generals, and he did not ignore the plot recorded in the book in which several generals of Ge Shuhan instigated Yang Guozhong to lure Yang Guozhong to Tongguan to hunt and kill, and he guessed that the Tongguan guards would be shocked when they saw him, Yang Guozhong's son, appear, but there was little time to explain now.

Yang Xi rode his horse and ran to Pang Zhong, saluted slightly, and after showing the emperor's order, he ordered loudly: "General Pang, Your Majesty appointed Ben to be the soldiers and horses of Tongguan to help Marshal Ge Shu defend Tongguan, please let the men and horses led by Ben General enter the city quickly, and the rebels may attack the city immediately after dawn!" General Zuo Longwu Chen led the follow-up men, and then arrived! Also, Marshal Geshu is likely to be held hostage by his generals, forcing him to open the city to ask the rebels to surrender, and quickly take the general to meet Marshal Geshu!"

Yang Xi said this, although Pang Zhong was a little relieved, but Yang Xi finally said that Ge Shuhan might be held hostage by his generals very unhappy, and just as he was about to argue, a horse came from the city quickly, and ran directly in front of him, and a sergeant ran to Pang Zhong with a rolling belt, and cried loudly: "General Pang, Marshal Geshu was held hostage by Huoba Guiren and is heading towards the south gate!"

"What?" Pang Zhong was taken aback, he didn't even notice that the horsewhip in his hand had fallen, how could this be possible? Yang Xi has the ability to predict the future? Before he arrived in Tongguan, he expected such a thing to happen, and it happened to happen as soon as he arrived in Tongguan.

This feeling made Pang Zhong's hostility towards Yang Xi disappear a little more, but he didn't know how to react all of a sudden!

As soon as he heard the news, Yang Xi's good mood just now disappeared, and a sense of urgency and anger made him give an order without the slightest hesitation: "Order all the soldiers to immediately follow the general into the city and kill the Huoba Guiren and his comrades who dare to rebel!"

As soon as he heard the name Huoba Quyren, he immediately reacted, it was the general who recorded in the book that he had kidnapped Ge Shuhan to the enemy.

Now that Ge Shuhan has been held hostage, if he doesn't react quickly, he is likely to still be powerless, so he doesn't care about Pang Zhong's reaction and immediately drives his horse into the city. Three hundred of his own soldiers also quickly entered the city, and then the three thousand soldiers and horses he led, also under the leadership of Li Fu, followed into the city.

Pang Zhong, who had a bloodless face, after hesitating for a moment, immediately ordered the sergeants around him to get out of the way, and let the men and horses led by Yang Xi enter the city quickly, and he himself led his own guards and quickly ran behind Yang Xi.

Pang Zhong was a battle-hardened general, and he quickly came back to his senses, and ordered the soldiers defending the city to close the city gate immediately after Yang Xi's 3,000 men and horses entered the city, and without his order, the city gate could not be opened, and no one could be allowed to enter or leave the city!

"Marshal Geshu, it's inconvenient for you to move, just let the sergeants carry you away!" Seeing that the veteran was struggling and unable to walk fast, he immediately ordered two sergeants to step forward to help.

But Ge Shuhan was still not fast, so he had to ask someone to take a group of military beds and carry Ge Shuhan away.

Ge Shuhan was injured and sick because of many years of war, and before he was appointed by the imperial court as the marshal and the head of Tongguan military affairs, he was recuperating in the palace because of serious physical injuries. It was barely feasible to ride on horseback, and it was a great pain to let him walk.

Now he was escorted out of the house by the sergeants under Huoba Quyren, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately two sergeants helped him.

Huo Ba Quy Ren was a little anxious, and immediately ordered the sergeant to carry Ge Shuhan away, he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy!

If you don't have a long night, there may be a lot of dreams, and just as Huo Tu Nhon ordered the sergeant to carry Ge Shuhan, who had been scolding incessantly, to prepare to leave, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from far and near. Huo Tu Nhon and his sergeants were all good warriors, and they immediately judged from the sound of the horse's hooves that something was wrong, and after he gave the order, everyone took out their weapons and prepared to meet them!

The sound of horses' hooves soon approached, and a long line of torches came towards them from far and near, and in the faint light of the fire, Huo Tu Nhon also saw the situation clearly, and a young general led hundreds of sergeants to gallop over!

It was the men and horses led by Yang Xi, after hearing the sergeant's report, he led the army into the city at a very fast speed, and under the escort of the general's own soldiers, he quickly rushed to the side of the group of Huoba Quy Nhon, and after half a circle, blocked their way and surrounded the hundred or so men and horses!
