Yang Xi set off at night.

After saying goodbye to the generals who saw them off, without the knowledge of most of the soldiers in Tongguan City, Yang Xi came to the base of the special training camp and took them out of the camp after admonishing the soldiers of the special detachment.

Tonight, he will teach the soldiers the subjects of marching, attacking, and hiding at night.

A few days ago, there was already a lot of training in this area, and tonight's training is a step further and has a real combat nature.

Yang Xi also taught many skills to the soldiers.

One night passed, many subjects were trained, and there were several confrontations, and the effect was very good, and the training ended at dawn. After summing up, Yang Xi also ordered Li Han and Chen Feng to continue training with the soldiers in the next few days, and prepare to march to the southeast, cross the Wei River and the Yellow River, and arrive near Shaanxi County, preparing to improve the special combat capability of the soldiers with actual combat training.

How to arrange the next training Yang Xi has already formulated a very detailed and thorough plan, and the plan has been handed over to Li Han, Chen Feng and other officers of the special training team, and there are many exchanges with them, and the matters to be paid attention to have been told to them.

Yang Xi hoped that the follow-up training of the actual combat nature could achieve great achievements, and he regretted that he could not personally lead the soldiers in training and combat. He believes that without his personal leadership, the results of the training will not be very satisfactory, and even the setbacks and casualties will not be guaranteed. He is the leading marshal, and it is impossible for him to personally lead such a small detachment of several hundred people to carry out the mission, even if he has the ability, he has the time.

He was unable to personally lead the training of the soldiers of the special training team, and many skills that could only be instructed in actual combat were difficult to teach them. But Yang Xi is full of confidence, these soldiers are not recruits who have never seen blood, most of them have experienced many life and death killings, and they have very rich experience in actual combat, as long as a few commanders command properly, they will have a good performance in both training and actual combat.

The combat strength of the special training team can only be improved through continuous actual combat, and in order to make the combat strength reach a terrifying point and become a real special combat team, it will definitely have to pay many costs, and even the lives of the soldiers will be counted.

Yang Xi broke up with the soldiers of the special training team in Weinan, and he continued westward, passing through the post station fast horse to the direction of Chang'an, and the special training team went northeast under the leadership of Li Han and Chen Feng.

Looking at the dust and sand of the soldiers who had gone away, and listening to the crisp sound of horseshoes trampling the earth, Yang Xi sighed for a long time, and silently prayed that the soldiers of the special training team could return to Tongguan safely and bring back a detailed report on the enemy situation in Shaanxi County.

He had already asked the imperial court to choose an opportunity to attack Shaanxi County, and the situation in Shaanxi County must be clearly understood, which is also a very important task of the special training team.

The horses of the soldiers of the special training team are equipped with horseshoes, and the soldiers and horses of Tongguan are also being equipped one after another.

Although the production of the horseshoe is not very complicated, but because there was no iron casting style before, it still took some time to make a suitable and durable, easy to nail, will not hurt the war horse, and will not fall off.

A military horse nailed to the horseshoe of the Tongguan Town Army still has the taste of observation effect. After the improvement is completed, the Ordnance Commission will increase its horsepower and start production. Judging from the initial equipment, the war horse nailed with the horseshoe is less likely to be injured, but when traveling on the mountain road outside Tongguan, it is convenient for the war horse without the horse's shoe, and the war horse with the horse's shoe is easy to slip.

But the soldiers all understood that the loss rate of horses wearing "boots" would definitely drop significantly.

In the past, most of the injuries of war horses were injuries to the horses' hooves, and when the horse's hooves were injured, the horses could not run, and there was no way for the soldiers to drive during the war. Sometimes after a big battle, the loss rate of war horses reaches fifty percent, or even higher.

It is believed that after a large number of horseshoes are equipped in the army, that is, horseshoes, the loss rate of war horses will decrease significantly.

After separating from the special training team, Yang Xi had a good sleep at the Weinan Post Station, and then set off after recuperating his spirits, and he almost caught up with Li Heng's car near Bashang. After knowing that Li Heng was in front, he also slowed down his advanced speed, and slept soundly at the last post near Baqiao, and changed into clean and neat clothes, and replaced the dusty armor.

After entering Chang'an, he was ready to go to see Emperor Li Longji, but if he was not well-dressed, it would not be very respectful. From the news he found, Yang Xi knew that the emperor was not in the palace now, but was on vacation in the Tang Paradise to enjoy the scenery.

The Tang Paradise is in the southernmost part of Chang'an City, after entering the Mingde Gate, turn right and walk for a while, if he wants to go to see the emperor immediately, he will not have the opportunity to go back to the house to take a shower and change clothes, and he can't go to see the emperor in the dust, or prepare as early as possible before entering the city.

It was already early afternoon when he entered the city, and he found out that Li Heng had already entered the Tang Paradise to meet Li Longji and report the situation, Yang Xi did not plan to rush to Li Heng to present his case to Li Longji, he had to make a statement in front of Li Heng, otherwise the intention would be too obvious and not in line with etiquette.

Yang Xi also knew that his father Yang Guozhong would be waiting for him in the Tang Paradise, and the father and son would go to face the saint together.

When Yang Xi arrived at the Tang Paradise, Yang Guozhong was waiting for him, and after the father and son entered the garden, they found a place where no one was and had a careful conversation.

After knowing in detail what the crown prince Li Heng had done after arriving at Tongguan, Yang Guozhong angrily scolded Li Heng for his "despicability". Yang Guozhong knew that the town general of Tongguan had a deep prejudice against him, although Yang Xi's series of efforts after arriving in Tongguan had achieved results, but his attitude towards him, the prime minister of the dynasty, had not changed much, Li Henglai had almost ruined most of Yang Xi's efforts for several months, how could he not be angry.

Because Yang Xi had already described the situation in detail in the previous secret letter, Yang Guozhong basically knew the situation in Tongguan and the changes in the generals after Li Heng arrived, and now after listening to what Yang Xi said, he just understood the situation more clearly. Li Heng's trick he was already thinking about countermeasures, and the solution was almost come up with, so he was ready to work with Yang Xi today to explain it in front of the emperor.

Of course, cousins Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qiu Guo still have to use it, and letting the two sisters blow the pillow wind in front of Li Longji is much better than his own situation.

"Xi'er, the prince is discussing Tongguan affairs with His Majesty, let's not bother for the time being, after they finish speaking, our father and son will go, let's go to the concubine Niangniang first, and explain the situation to the Niangniang first," Yang Guozhong instructed Yang Xi to go with him, and then whispered: "The concubine Niangniang flashed her waist two days ago, and she has been lying on the couch for the past few days, and she can't get up, you have to be careful to talk for a while, don't annoy her." ”

"Yes, father, the child knows!" Of course, Yang Xi immediately agreed.

Yang Guozhong stopped again when he walked outside Yang Yuhuan's bedroom, and whispered to Yang Xi: "Mrs. Qiuguo has already gone to talk about the situation for her father, and Mrs. promised to speak for our father and son in front of Your Majesty!" In the past few days, the concubine has been unwell, and she is embarrassed to say it as a father, but the prince has done this, and the situation is not good for us, and we still have to bother the concubine today. ”

"Father, please rest assured, the child will definitely help his father to move the concubine!"
