After the sergeant galloped away, Yang Xi ordered the guards of the city gates to relax and recuperate temporarily, and all the sergeants who could withdraw were evacuated to a cool place under the city, and then go up to the city tower after the enemy situation appeared. At noon, the sun is scorching, and it will dry those who have stood on the walls for a long time!

At the same time, he also sent someone to send a message for help in the direction of Chang'an, and delivered everything that happened this morning to Chang'an.

Yang Xi didn't know if Chen Xuanli's follow-up rescue army had been formed or not, and he hoped that under the strong supervision of his high-ranking prime minister's father, Chen Xuanli had already led the army on the journey.

Regardless of whether Chen Xuanli led his troops on the journey to Tongguan or not, Yang Xi would repeatedly send people to urge the rapid arrival of reinforcements. Of course, he also hopes that more people will arrive in Tongguan. There is a lot of strength in numbers, this sentence is definitely suitable for the current situation, there are too few people and horses in his hands who can command.

In the distance, the rebels and horses had slowly retreated, and the mountain fire continued to burn, and it did not seem to be extinguished soon, Yang Xi sent another order to inform Ge Shuhan that he would accompany Ge Shuhan to patrol the city to boost morale.

Yang Xi knew that at this time, his order already had a little weight in Tongguan City, which was judged from the reaction of the guards of the city gates in the morning. In the process of Li Fude leading his troops to ambush the rebels, Yang Xi had orders to convey to the city gate guards, and also to Ge Shuhan, from the information fed back by the city gate guards, and their subsequent many requests for orders, Yang Xi could judge that he had established a preliminary prestige among the generals, and the generals in the Tongguan City took him seriously and treated him as a commander. Although all this may be due to Ge Shuhan's submission and support, Yang Xi also believes that it is impossible to do this with Ge Shuhan's support alone.

And what he has to do is to further establish his authority.

Li Fu was his general, and Li Fu's credit also belonged to him, and the ambush outside the city was only carried out after he persuaded Ge Shuhan, and the results were very good, enough to surprise the other generals who had just returned from the rout, including Ge Shuhan.

Patrolling the city with Ge Shuhan and his generals can not only boost morale, but also re-establish his prestige.

He ordered the generals to return to Geshuhan's tent first, and then patrol the city with him and Geshuhan!

Just when Yang Xi's order was conveyed, he himself took Li Chengguang and Gao Shi down the city tower, preparing to go to the east gate guarded by Ge Shuhan himself, and accompanied the old marshal to patrol the city, Liu Guangting and a few personal soldiers hurriedly ran to report the situation to him.

After listening to Liu Guangting's report, Yang Xi was a little less resentful of this general.

Liu Guangting did not collect many defeated soldiers, only more than 1,000 people, and these were almost all sergeants who fled back to Tongguan and found that the situation was not right, and continued to flee in the direction of Chang'an. There were also sergeants who came from other directions, such as crossing the Yellow River, and sergeants who climbed steep peaks to bypass Tongguan City. Many times, people's potential is incompetent, just like when fleeing for their lives, those peaks that seem to be extremely difficult to climb, there are also routs who dare to climb and successfully climb over, which can only make people feel that under specific circumstances, people's potential is unlimited, but such routs are relatively rare.

Most of the people who fled to Chang'an through the official road were the people in Tongguan City!

Although there were only more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, most of these people were willing to return to Tongguan City to participate in the battle to defend the city. Some of those who were unwilling to come back were killed by Liu Guangting anyway, and some were trying to escape and were unwilling to fight the rebels again.

In Liu Guangting's own words, it was a difficult task to be able to collect these defeated soldiers, control them, and bring them back to Tongguan City.

The defeated soldiers who have the opportunity to escape back have a good physique, and those with poor physique don't even have a chance to become a rout, if they can be cared for, they will definitely play a very big role when defending the city. More than 1,000 sergeants, if well organized, are also a good new force.

Now Yang Xi, what he needs most is the addition of sergeants, and a hundred more people is also a good thing!

What a small amount adds up!

Of course, what Yang Xi hopes for most is the arrival of the follow-up rescue army led by Chen Xuanli! But he also knew that it was basically impossible for Chen Xuanli to arrive at Tongguan today, and it was already very good that he could arrive at Tongguan City at night yesterday.

The terrain of Tongguan City is dangerous, so that the number of rout soldiers who escaped back is not much, and a large number of rout soldiers are still scattered in the east of Tongguan City, of course, most of the 200,000 horses are either killed in battle, burned to death, or captured by the rebels, and the number of people who can become rout soldiers will not be very many.

After instructing Liu Guangting a few words, Yang Xi also immediately ordered Liu Guangting to organize the more than 1,000 defeated troops into the army guarding the city at the east gate, and Liu Guangting was also guarding at the east gate and obeying his command. Liu Guangting also went as ordered, and Yang Xi also continued to patrol the city by himself to prepare.

When Yang Xi led Li Chengguang and Gao Shi and a group of personal soldiers led by Yang Zheng and Yang Dong back to Geshuhan's tent, he saw Wang Sili arrive there first. This general, who is rumored to be very brave and good at fighting, is no longer as hostile to Yang Xi as he was when he first met.

Judging from Yang Xi's performance after arriving at Tongguan and the arrangement he made, Wang Sili felt that Yang Guozhong's youngest son was really not an ordinary person, he could be so calm and calm at such a young age, and his momentum was not even inferior to a veteran of a hundred battles like Ge Shuhan, and it was even more powerful than those of them who had experienced several life and death battles, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura when he glared at him was terrifying, which made him have a little scruples.

In a complicated mood, when he saw Yang Xi striding over, he didn't know whether to step forward and salute.

Of course, Yang Xi saw Wang Sili's complicated expression, and he didn't care too much, and stepped forward to greet him: "General Wang, the enemy situation has changed, and the general is going to gather all the generals to patrol the city together to boost morale, and discuss the follow-up arrangements, I hope to speak freely for a while, and put forward some good suggestions!"

Wang Sili had no choice but to step forward and salute, and said: "Please rest assured that when the rebels come to attack, the last general will definitely defend the city desperately, as long as the last general is still alive, he will never let a rebel soldier attack the city!"

Although Wang Sili did not answer the question, Yang Xi understood several meanings from Wang Sili's words, that is, this Ge Shuhan's cronies will obey his command, and when the rebels attack the city, they will do their best to resist the attacks of the rebels.

Wang Sili has such a statement, why is Yang Xi still not satisfied?

At this time, a voice came from behind, "Yang Bing and Ma Envoy, I really didn't expect your suspicious soldiers to have such an effect, not only severely damaged the rebels' forwards, but also successfully stopped the rebels' offensive!" Now we also have a rare opportunity to recuperate!"

It was Ge Shuhan who spoke, and Yang Xi also hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted Ge Shuhan: "Marshal Geshu, the last general knows that the rebels will definitely not give up the siege, as long as the mountain is extinguished, they will immediately attack the city again, and the decisive battle will follow!" After the first victory after the defeat, the morale of the soldiers was boosted to a certain extent, but the last general thought that in order to further boost the morale, we should set an example again and boost their morale with our self-confidence, so the general thought of leading the generals to patrol the city together with Marshal Geshu, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers and make them firm in their confidence in victory! There has been a certain change in the enemy situation, and the last general wants to discuss with Marshal Geshu and the generals about whether to adjust the defense according to the current situation when patrolling the city!" Yang Xi's words are very resolute!
