(Thanks to Lao Dao for his reward again!)

"Immediately carry out the order and burn the corpses in the forbidden ditch first!" Ge Shuhan gave the order again, and shouted at the stunned generals.

Yang Xi also immediately understood what Ge Shuhan meant, and he also understood what some other generals didn't know for the time being.

Ge Shuhan issued this order at this time to burn the corpses in the forbidden ditch with fire, just to bear the "guilt" of burning the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and not to let him, the new soldier, bear it. Such an order was given by Ge Shuhan, and the sergeant who carried out the order would definitely be less resistant, and if he, the new soldier, gave the order to do so, maybe there would be a lot of excitement, uncontrollable, and even mutiny!

After all, those corpses in the forbidden ditch are not the rebels', but the Tang army's soldiers! It is very likely that these dead Tang Army officers and soldiers were originally relatives, friends, and brothers with the surviving soldiers in Tongguan City, and if the sergeants burned the bodies of their relatives, brothers, and friends, there must be many people who could not accept it psychologically, and even opposed it. The effect of this order is completely different from that of Ge Shuhan.

Ge Shuhan has a high prestige, and from the perspective of war, he ordered the corpses in the forbidden ditch to be burned, so that the forbidden ditch can play the function of defending against the enemy, although the soldiers were reluctant in their hearts, but they could finally accept it, but he, the new soldier and horse envoy, must not be so capable!

Yang Xi knew that under the current situation, even if Ge Shuhan was willing to obey his orders and take him as the commander-in-chief of the Tongguan soldiers and horses, most of the generals would definitely be disobedient to his command, but Ge Shuhan expressed his support like this, and these generals did not dare to disrespect. But if he does something that makes people angry, such as ordering the burning of the corpses of the sergeants in the Forbidden Ditch, some people may take the opportunity to stand up against him.

Although he very much wanted to order the burning of the corpses of the soldiers in the forbidden ditch to restore the effect of the forbidden ditch, he hoped that Ge Shuhan would take the initiative. Now things are really developing in the direction he expected, Ge Shuhan took the initiative to do this, how can he not make Yang Xi happy?!

Yang Xi also understood that in the next time, he would take every opportunity to establish his prestige, show his ability, and make the generals willingly obey his command, and finally respect and admire him!

Yang Xi was also a little indignant in his heart, it was because of his hated father Yang Guozhong that he received the post of Tongguan soldier and horse envoy, and he could not effectively control the generals, everything had to be done through Ge Shuhan.

But fortunately, his father is Yang Guozhong, otherwise at this time, it would be impossible for him to lead an army to first aid Tongguan and replace Ge Shuhan to command all the men and horses in Tongguan. God, or history, gave him such an opportunity, giving him the opportunity to do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do, and he must do his best to turn the tide and completely change the history of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the fate of him and his family.

"Hurry up and carry out the order, and immediately burn the corpses in the forbidden ditch!" Seeing that many generals were in shock, Yang Xi shouted loudly.

"No!" All the generals responded to the order and ran out quickly.

Yang Xi's majesty was naturally revealed, which made the generals feel a little pressure. This young man's momentum is really unusual.

Yang Xi, who felt this, was also very satisfied!

"Marshal Geshu, the last general will also go to the city to inspect the city, so as to familiarize himself with the situation and military affairs in Tongguan as soon as possible, so that he can respond at any time when the rebels come to attack!" It was still dawn, almost the darkest time before dawn, Yang Xi wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the city to inspect it, and then come back to rest for a while to fill his stomach, when the rebels came to attack the city, he had plenty of jīng strength to command the battle.

Ge Shuhan already has his own soldiers to take care of him, but Pang Zhong left behind, and Yang Xi believes that these people will take care of Ge Shuhan.

Of course, he hoped that Ge Shuhan could accompany him to the city to inspect!

But just when Yang Xi was expecting Ge Shuhan to react, Ge Shuhan called him, "Yang soldiers and horses, it's not dawn yet, the rebels won't attack yet, the generals have been ordered to prepare, take advantage of this free time, there are still some things to tell you!" You understand these things, and it will be much smoother in the future!"

Of course, Yang Xi immediately understood the meaning of Ge Shuhan's words, and immediately retracted his steps, walked in front of Ge Shuhan, and respectfully bowed: "Marshal Ge Shu has anything to order, please just say, the last general will definitely obey your orders!"

Yang Xi didn't know what Ge Shuhan was going to say to him, but he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary word, and it must be a very important matter. Of course, Yang Xi didn't think that what he did after coming to Tongguan convinced Ge Shuhan, so that the veteran would obey him and assist him wholeheartedly. He knew that the biggest possibility of Ge Shuhan doing this was that he felt guilty about the defeat of the Tongguan army, and he was afraid that it would lead to a series of evil consequences, endangering Chang'an, and he was also afraid of being severely punished by the imperial court, so he temporarily abandoned his previous suspicions, worked with him to resist the enemy, and expressed his support for him in private or in public!

If the danger of Tongguan is lifted, maybe it will be the time for everyone to show their true colors!

He waited for Ge Shuhan to say something more to him!

Ge Shuhan subconsciously glanced at the open door, and after not finding any irrelevant people standing outside, he immediately spoke: "Yang soldiers and horse soldiers, you must have heard of the battles between some ministers in the DPRK and China, but there are also battles between the generals of Tongguan, you may not know!" Among the generals who convened the meeting just now, some of them were sworn enemies, and some time before, they fought from time to time and disagreed with each other! Alas...... This is also a very important reason for the defeat of Lingbao! The contradiction between Li Chengguang, the commander of the infantry and Wang Sili, the commander of the cavalry, is very sharp, and even the commander himself can't do anything!"

After listening to Ge Shuhan's emotion, Yang Xi also figured things out!

It turned out that the imperial court listened to the advice of Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, and beheaded Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing for reasons such as distemperance and cowardice, and sent Ge Shuhan, who was recuperating at home, to Tongguan, but over the years, Ge Shuhan's wind disease has become more and more serious, and it is not even convenient to travel, not to mention the handling of a large number of military affairs and training sergeants. Li Chengguang and the two quarreled and disagreed, often with different military orders, and Tian Qiuliang could not convince the public, Ge Shuhan had a headache about this, but there was not much way to reconcile, because it was related to the dispute between some forces in the DPRK and China.

In this battle out of Tongguan, Ge Shuhan was originally ready for an ambush by the rebels, but because Wang Sili and Li Chengguang did not cooperate well with each other, after the former army led by Wang Sili fell into the encirclement of the rebels, Li Chengguang failed to send troops to rescue in time. However, then Li Chengguang's troops were also raided by the rebels and suffered heavy losses. In the end, Wang Sili and Li Chengguang were unable to effectively control their subordinates and organize effective resistance, which led to the rout. If there were no personal grudges between the generals and they could cooperate and fight, it would be impossible for the battle of Lingbao to be defeated so miserably!

"I see!" Listening to what Ge Shuhan said, Yang Xi was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that there would be such a grudge between the generals of Tongguan, he also knew that Wang Sili was Ge Shuhan's confidant and favorite general, and Li Chengguang had not been valued by Ge Shuhan, he was a person who favored his father Yang Guozhong, before he led the army to the expedition, Yang Guozhong also told him that in the Tongguan army, the eunuchs Bian Lingcheng and Li Chengguang and several others could be trusted.

It seems that the defeat of the Lingbao soldiers is not only due to Yang Guozhong's bad lord accident, but also the important reason for the internal discord among the generals of Tongguan.

This is a historical certainty!

However, Yang Xi didn't see the eunuch Bian Lingcheng, and he didn't know if this person suffered a misfortune when the army was defeated, or fled back to Chang'an.

Of course, what Yang Xi needs most now is the support of his generals, whether it is Bian Lingcheng or Li Chengguang, and other generals, if they can't get the support of these people, how can they hold Tongguan if they fight in the nest again? Yang Xi was also glad that Ge Shuhan heard Ge Shuhan say this before the battle of Tongguan defense, and he would definitely take countermeasures to win the support of all the generals.

However, he also heard an obvious tendency from Ge Shuhan's words, that Ge Shuhan meant to affirm Wang Sili and deny Li Chengguang. But for him, all this is not very important, he knows that Wang Sili once tricked Ge Shuhan to find a way to hold Yang Guozhong hostage to Tongguan and kill him quickly. If Wang Sili was not Ge Shuhan's confidant, how could he say such a thing and make such a suggestion? It's also a good thing that the contradictions between the generals are clear, maybe you can take advantage of the contradictions between these generals, or the conflict of interests, to make them all obey him!

But this meaning can't be revealed in front of Ge Shuhan, Yang Xi just said lightly after listening to it: "Thank you Marshal Ge Shu for the reminder, I will pay attention to it in the end!" These people are really bold and reckless, even Marshal Ge Shu, a famous general with outstanding military achievements, dare to disobey the orders, ignore the major affairs of the military state, and dare to calculate the other party in times of crisis, I hope they will not do this again in the next process of resisting the enemy, otherwise the last general will definitely show the court and punish them! The last general also knew that General Wang Sili had suggested to Marshal Geshu that he trick my father into Tongguan and kill him with one sword. They all believed that An Lushan's rebellion was under the pretext of eliminating my father, and if my father was killed, An Lushan's army would have no excuse! Fortunately, Marshal Ge Shu judged the situation and put the country's interests first, so he did not adopt this policy, which is gratifying! But these are all things in the past, and the last general doesn't want to pursue them anymore, and he treats them as if nothing like this happened! I only hope that all the generals under his command can do their best to resist the enemy, hold Tongguan, and prevent the rebels from occupying this gateway city to Chang'an! If Tongguan fails, none of us will be able to escape the punishment of the imperial court! If Tongguan is held, then the imperial court will definitely reward everyone, and even Marshal Geshu's defeat will not be investigated!"

"Huh?!" Ge Shuhan was stunned by Yang Xi's last few words!

That's too blunt, isn't it? It doesn't give people face at all!

"Report ......" Just as Ge Shuhan was stunned, there was a shouting of the newspaper outside, and a sweaty sergeant hurriedly ran in, knelt down on one knee and reported loudly: "Report to the marshal, the thief army has appeared ten miles southeast of Tongguan City!"

"What?" Ge Shuhan was surprised again!

The rebels are coming too fast!

"Immediately send orders to all generals, quickly make battle arrangements, and prepare to meet the enemy!" Yang Xi immediately gave another order and took the lead to go out!

Ge Shuhan also immediately ordered two sergeants to support him and go in the direction of the south gate.

Everyone knows that the big war outside Tongguan City is about to break out, and the most testing time has come!
