"If you have any requests, you can just tell me!" I don't know if it was Yang Xi's words just now, including the analysis of the situation, as well as the means of rescue, etc., that moved Li Longji, made him eliminate Yang Xi's doubts that he was too young, and strengthened the idea of letting this young man lead the army to rescue Tongguan; or because the ministers of the DPRK and China, including Yang Guozhong, supported Yang Xi to lead the army for first aid, so that Li Longji firmly believed that Yang Xi could lead the army; Or guessed Yang Guozhong's current thoughts. After listening to Yang Xi's request, Li Longji agreed to Yang Xi's invitation without hesitation.

"Please give your majesty a warrant to the minister, you can control any group of people near Tongguan, and those who do not obey the order have the right to make any disposition!"

"I've promised it, I'll give you my warrant right away!" Li Longji agreed before the ministers stood up against it, and he didn't even hesitate.

Seeing that Li Longji agreed to his request, Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and when no other minister stood up to express different opinions, he continued to make a request: "Also, how to arrange the front line in Tongguan and how to resist the enemy, the ministers hope that the ministers will make judgments according to the situation, and the court should not interfere, at least before the danger of Tongguan is lifted, do not force the ministers to behave!"

"Huh?!" There was an exclamation in the hall, if the previous request Yang Xi mentioned the past, then the later request was a bit excessive, if the emperor started from the overall situation and made other considerations, then Yang Xi could not listen?

However, Yang Guozhong was not surprised by Yang Xi's request, he was surprised that his son thought so far and was so bold, he could think of so much, and dared to make a request openly in front of the emperor and so many ministers.

Under the gaze of Yang Xi and the ministers, Li Longji thought for a while, and also agreed to Yang Xi's request: "Okay, I know!" I will give you a warrant and a sword, and all the military affairs of Tongguan will be controlled, and before the danger of Tongguan is lifted, the imperial court will not interfere in the military affairs of Tongguan, if anyone dares to disobey your orders, they can use the sword I have rewarded with a sword, first cut and then play! You have other demands that you can put forward at the same time, but I also have ugly words ahead, if I agree to these conditions for you, you still can't hold Tongguan, then I will not spare you!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will do his best to defeat the thief army, defend Tongguan, and return the capital to peace! Otherwise, the minister will apologize with death!" Yang Xi said very proudly, and immediately made another request: "Your Majesty, after the ministers lead the army to set off, I hope that Your Majesty can order more people to quickly support Tongguan in case of accidents!" Tongguan is now all the rest of the rout, no fighting spirit, if the thief army after sweeping the battlefield, will definitely come to attack, only with His Majesty to bring three thousand soldiers and horses, it is difficult to hold Tongguan! Also, the military supplies needed to defend the city must be delivered in time......"

Taking advantage of the moment of expressing his loyalty, Yang Xi put forward some more requirements, and talked about how to meet the enemy after he arrived at Tongguan, that is, the supplement to what he had just said, Li Longji was very happy to listen, and Yang Guozhong and other ministers were very surprised.

How could it not be surprising that a seventeen-year-old man could give more insightful advice than the others present?

It seems that Yang Xi really thought deeply about the battle at Tongguan, so he dared to ask for the rescue of the army in front of the palace today; There are also many people who believe that Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi are singing a double reed today, the purpose of which is to seize the opportunity to grasp the military power and strengthen the power of the Yang family. However, people who think about it still admire Yang Guozhong's boldness, or despise him for doing whatever it takes to gain power, and even his youngest son is pushed to the forefront!

But few people guessed Yang Guozhong's thoughts at this time!

He had the intention of sacrificing his beloved youngest son to save his family from doom.

If Yang Xi can't save Tongguan, the sin is on Yang Xi, and he can let the court deal with Yang Xi, he, who is a father, is willing to let his underage son lead the army to the battle, which is enough to show that all his decisions are for the sake of the country, in order to defeat the rebels, others should not reprimand him for this, and the emperor can also justifiably extricate himself; If Yang Xi is fortunate enough to succeed and block the rebels outside Tongguan City, then he will no longer have any worries, most of his son's great achievements can be attributed to his father, and the prestige of their Yang family will rise greatly, and Yang Xi can also be pushed to the front desk, asking for rewards in front of the emperor, and even asking for officials.

Surviving with a broken arm or icing on the cake depends on how Yang Xi behaves. Listening to what Yang Xi said, Yang Guozhong saw hope again when he felt almost hopeless, his son has behaved very differently these days, is it really true that he has opened up after being injured?

But now is not the time to pursue this point, after listening to Yang Xi's statement, the emperor agreed again, and immediately stood up and supported his son's request with a very clear attitude: "Your Majesty, if you want to send a general to first aid Tongguan, you must hand over all military affairs in Tongguan to the emperor, otherwise how to lead the army?" The situation on the front line at Tongguan is changing rapidly, and only the generals commanding at the front can make arrangements and judgments according to specific changes in the situation, so Your Majesty and the ministers of the DPRK and China will definitely not dictate the battle ahead!"

Seeing that Yang Guozhong said so, Wei Jiansu and others also stood up and agreed.

This is equivalent to almost getting this most important thing done, and then Li Longji left Yang Guozhong, Yang Xi, Wei Jiansu, Chen Xuanli and several other important courtiers to discuss the details of the rescue of Tongguan. Just now, Yang Guozhong had already proposed that Yang Xi lead him to train the 3,000 men and horses led by Li Fude, Liu Guangting and other henchmen, and hand them over to Yang Xi to command, and rush to Tongguan as soon as possible in the form of these 3,000 men and horses.

Li Longji had already ordered this group of men and horses to prepare quickly, and as soon as they were ready, they would set off immediately. He also formally issued an edict to appoint Yang Xi as the envoy of Tongguan soldiers and horses, take over the military affairs of Tongguan with full authority, and remove Geshuhan from the post of marshal of soldiers and horses, and serve in the army as a white body.

The guilt of Ge Shuhan and his generals will be discussed after the battle in Tongguan is over!

It was also in the discussion with Li Longji and several important ministers of the court that Yang Xi knew the specific process of the defeat of Tongguan.

On June 4, after an emergency court meeting, the imperial court issued an edict ordering Ge Shuhan to go out of the customs to fight. Ge Shuhan resisted several times in a row, and after stating that the reason was not agreed by the imperial court, he had to lead the army east out of Tongguan. On the 7th, in Xiyuan, Lingbao County, Henan, he encountered the army of the enemy general Cui Qianbai.

The rebels had long been prepared and occupied a dangerous position to deal with the Tang army. In order to break the stalemate, Goshuhan prepared to storm the rebels with the superiority of his forces.

In the early morning of the 8th, that is, as soon as the sky was polished this morning, Geshuhan ordered Wang Sili and other generals to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to the front, Pang Zhong and others led 100,000 horses to follow, and another 30,000 people climbed the high ground on the north bank of the Yellow River to look out and beat drums and cheer.

There is a pass road between Tongguan and Shaanxi County, 70 miles long, the south is against the mountain, the north is close to the Yellow River, the narrowest place can only accommodate a car to pass, Cui Qianyou, the general of An Lushan, uses less than 10,000 old and weak remnants as bait, personally leads 50,000 elite soldiers, and sets up ambushes on both sides of the pass.

The Tang army, which was anxious to defeat the rebels, entered the pass without carefully observing the enemy's situation, and after the front army penetrated deep into the pass, the enemy ambushed countless pieces of wood and stones fell from the sky, and the Tang army suffered countless casualties and was in chaos, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ge Shuhan immediately ordered the felt cart to be the front drive, preparing to rush through the ambush circle under the cover of the felt cart and go around to the rear of the rebels. But this plan was discovered by Cui Qianyou, who immediately ordered more than a dozen carts full of hay to block the way of the Tang army and set fire to it.

At this time, the east wind was rising, and the smoke was drifting towards the Tang army's array, and the officers and troops were in chaos, and even killed each other. The elite cavalry of the rebels appeared behind the Tang army from the direction of Nanshan and suddenly attacked. The officers and troops were even more frightened, confused, and quickly routed. The 30,000 officers and troops on the north bank of the Yellow River saw that the general situation was not good, and they fled without a fight.

This is the first time that the eunuch of the supervising army sent back the battle report after the defeat of the army, and there are still continuous battle situations, but they are all news of fiasco, as for where Geshuhan went, how many sergeants survived, and how the defense of Tongguan was, it is not clear now.

I don't know if it's because after listening to Yang Xi's statement, his attitude towards Yang Guozhong's young son has changed, or because of his identity and sense of mission, after discussing the details of the emergency aid to Tongguan for a while, and deciding who will lead the follow-up rescue people, Chen Xuanli, the general of Zuo Longwu, took the initiative to ask for his life: "Your Majesty, the country is in danger, the last general will not dare to survive in the palace, Tongguan is in danger, and the minister is willing to lead the follow-up people to rescue Tongguan!"

In November of the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, the left and right Yulin army placed the Longwu army, and set up one general on the left and right Longwu, and Chen Xuanli, who started to help Li Longji win the throne and killed Empress Wei and Princess Anle, was appointed as the general of Zuolongwu, which can be said to be one of Li Longji's most trusted figures.

Seeing that Chen Xuanli, who was nearly sixty years old and served as the general of the forbidden army, took the initiative to ask for his life, Li Longji was a little surprised, but he knew that now was not the time to talk about other things, so he only thought about it and agreed, "Okay, I approved Chen Aiqing's request, and immediately ordered you to gather at least 50,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside Chang'an City, and rescue Tongguan as quickly as possible, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Obey the order!" After Chen Xuanli received the order, he immediately saluted and left, ready to go!

Li Longji walked up to Yang Xi, who was also about to leave, stretched out his hand and patted Yang Xi's shoulder, looked at it seriously for a while, and then let out a long sigh, "Yang Shilang, I hope you can repel the rebels and hold Tongguan as you said, and don't let me and your father down!"

Yang Xi stood proudly and replied with a upright attitude: "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty and Father!"

"Good! After you arrive at Tongguan, if the situation is good, you can hold Tongguan, and there will be a fire of peace immediately; If the situation is unfavorable...... I'll have to do something else! Go ahead!" Li Longji said, waving his hand to signal Yang Guozhong to lead Yang Xi to prepare!

Yang Xi didn't hesitate any longer, urging Yang Guozhong, who still wanted to say a few more words, to walk out of the hall quickly.

Someone has already come to rumor that the 3,000 men and horses led by Li Fu and Liu Guangting have been assembled outside the palace, and the required horses are also ready to go!
