When Yang Xi returned to Tongguan, he received news from the special training team, saying that their brigade had crossed the Wei River and was preparing to cross the Yellow River and arrive near Shaanxi County to find a way to find out the situation in Shaanxi County. If there is a chance to infiltrate the city, they will try their best to assassinate or sabotage.

When Yang Xi was training the special training team, he also trained a group of carrier pigeons to transmit information with pigeons.

The bird's speed is much faster than that of a horse, and it is much easier to pass information on carrier pigeons, and he can receive news from the special training team in time.

Now the special training team is still in training, and it cannot be regarded as an army.

If they can achieve results and get tempered through actual combat training, then Yang Xi is very happy.

came to the ancient times when human life was very worthless, and it was a time of war, Yang Xi didn't care about how many people died, and people always died in war. The special training team was formed to fight a war, Yang Xi never thought that these people could not be sacrificed, as long as the special training team did not suffer heavy losses or the whole army was wiped out, he just told the special training team to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

What he hopes most is that the special training team will perform well in the first operation, make great achievements, and suffer very little damage of his own. In that case, the reputation of the special training team will be greatly shocked, and he will have even more reason to increase all kinds of investment in the special training team, and give it a special status, and he can also apply to the imperial court for a special establishment.

However, there was no good news from the special training team, and their plan to sneak into the city of Shaanxi County was not realized.

The city of Shaanxi County was very heavily guarded, even at night, it was constantly patrolling, and there was no chance to enter the city at all, and the special training team decisively stopped the plan to lurk into the city after paying the price of three injuries.

They trained according to another plan developed by Yang Xi, which was to hunt down the rebels' scouts.

This task was relatively simple, after the first three attacks were not too ideal, they achieved good results in the next few attacks, annihilating several rebel scouts, and clearing all the passes near Lingbao, explaining the situation to the battle report sent back to Tongguan.

The rebels completely retreated to the county town of Shaanxi and did not set up large ambushes along the way, which was the conclusion reached by the special training team after careful reconnaissance.

From this point of analysis, Yang Xi decided that the rebels could really retreat to Luoyang completely, and even directly retreat to Fanyang.

He also immediately ordered all the officers and men of the army to prepare for actual combat, so that they could go out to fight at any time.

And a news that came back on the tenth day after Yang Xi returned to Tongguan from Chang'an directly injected him with chicken blood, and the whole person became excited.

He also immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Shuai has just received the news from the direction of Shaanxi County, Cui Qianyou was recalled to Luoyang by An Qingxu and has left Shaanxi County, and now the military affairs of Shaanxi County are only presided over by one of his lieutenant generals named Li Ling!" Yang Xihuan looked at the generals under his tent, and said with pride: "Everyone, Cui Qianyou left Tongguan, and the rebels completely retreated to the Shaanxi county city, and Ben Shuai felt that this was a great opportunity for us to attack." Ben Shuai planned to leave 50,000 horses to guard Tong Pass, and the rest was personally led by Ben Shuai to quickly attack Shaanxi County, and strive to capture Shaanxi County in a battle. I just don't know what your opinions are? ”

Cui Qianyou left very secretly, and there was no news, but I was still inquired by my special training team members, and they also sent the news back as soon as possible. In the secret letter sent back, Li Han also assured Yang Xi with pride that he would lead half of the sergeants to follow behind Cui Qianyou's guards, preparing to find an opportunity to assassinate Cui Qianyou.

Listening to Yang Xi's words, the generals were stunned for a while, no one would have thought that the time to take the initiative to attack would come so soon, and some people were surprised that Yang Xi had already made this decision, and made a decision without consulting the court and discussing with the generals. This is what the supervisor Li Fuguo thought, and he also stood up at the first time and expressed his doubts: "Marshal, the last general feels that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and now we don't know whether Cui Qianyou really left Shaanxi County, or is it a plan to lure the enemy to lure us to attack, what if they set up an ambush halfway?" ”

After listening to Li Fuguo's words, Yang Xi didn't feel unhappy, Li Fuguo's worry was very reasonable, but he had solved this problem, and immediately said: "Li Jianjun's words are reasonable, but don't worry, the news of Cui Qianyou's departure from Shaanxi County has been confirmed, and there are no rebel ambushes on the way from Tongguan to Shaanxi County!" Cui Qianyou must not have expected our army to find out the news of his departure from Shaanxi County so quickly, and we should take the opportunity to quickly attack the city and capture Shaanxi County while the rebels are defenseless. ”

At this time, Wang Sili stood up and also expressed his doubts: "Marshal, the last general agrees with what the marshal said should take advantage of Cui Qianyou's departure from Shaanxi County to attack quickly and catch the rebels by surprise. But now there are more than 100,000 defenders in Shaanxi County, all of whom are elite soldiers who are good at fighting, and it is impossible for us to easily capture them. The last general feels that we must plan in detail and not attack rashly, otherwise the tragedy of Lingbao's defeat will be repeated!"

Lingbao's fiasco left a very heavy shadow on Wang Sili.

"Marshal, the last general does not agree with the statement of General Wang and Li Jianjun," Gao Shi stood up to support Yang Xi's suggestion, "The book of soldiers is cloudy, the soldiers are noble, the rebel army will leave the army, and the dragons are leaderless, of course we should take this opportunity to break through Shaanxi County in one go, and strive to completely annihilate the rebels, and start the prelude to the counteroffensive." The marshal had already made careful arrangements, and had already discovered that the rebels had not set up ambushes along the way, and the rebels would not have expected that our army would suddenly send troops to attack Tongguan, and even if Cui Qianyou received the report, it would be too late to return to Shaanxi County. We can't afford to miss this opportunity!"

Yang Xi didn't intend to let the generals argue today, after listening to Gao Shi's words, he stopped Pang Zhong, who wanted to stand up and express his views, and said to the generals with a cold face: "Generals, you must also know that Ben Shuai has formed a special operation detachment, and they have now arrived near Shaanxi County, and are preparing to assassinate Cui Qianyou who is going to Luoyang. Maybe in a few days, news will come that Cui Qianyou was assassinated by the special operations unit. Also, Ben Shuai has developed gunpowder, the power of this weapon has been seen by many of you, and now a certain amount of gunpowder has been hoarded in the Tongguan army, which can be used to siege the city. No one in the rebels has ever seen the power of this weapon, and I believe that the first time gunpowder is put into use, it will definitely achieve very good results!"

Yang Xi said, paused, and then said in an accentuated tone: "Therefore, this commander decided to take advantage of Cui Qianyou's departure from the army to Luoyang, and immediately gather men and horses to prepare to attack Shaanxi County. Last time Ben Shuai returned to Chang'an, His Majesty had already agreed to Ben Shuai's request, as long as there was a chance, he would raise troops to attack Shaanxi County and open the door to Luoyang!"

It is not uncommon for the lord to leave the city he is holding onto, just like a few days ago, he, the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, left Tongguan for Chang'an, and if the rebels found out about the situation, it is likely that they will also send troops to attack. It is still unclear what Cui Qianyou left Shaanxi County for Luoyang, but Yang Xi believes that An Qingxu must have something important to summon Cui Qianyou to discuss, and the news has been discovered, and he must definitely make good use of it.

Hearing Yang Xi say this, the generals knew that Yang Xi's decision could not be changed, and there was no one to stand up and oppose it.

"Next, the commander announces the arrangements of the generals!"
