After Yang Xi was sure that the rebels had completely retreated, he ordered the highest state of alert on the city to be lifted and ordered the soldiers to rest in batches.

The subsequent intelligence showed that the rebels had retreated on all fronts, and they did not hold on to the Hantong Pass, but retreated directly to Shaanxi County.

This made Yang Xi feel a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment.

Tongguan finally turned the corner, which was an achievement under his command, and only more than 10,000 remnants of the army under his command were defeated and did not let the rebels attack successfully, which is commendable. He had a great sense of accomplishment, and with his own intelligence and the efforts of all the soldiers, he finally resolved the crisis, and after severely inflicting heavy losses on the rebels, he forced the rebels to retreat from the city of Tongguan.

He turned the tide and saved more than in danger, what a proud thing!

Yang Xi immediately sent the battle situation to Chang'an in an expedited manner of 600 miles, and in the report he told all the battles and asked for credit for all the soldiers.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter and told his father Yang Guozhong about the situation in Tongguan and Chen Xuanli's reaction after his arrival.

After everything had been settled, it was already time for dinner, and after dinner, he summoned all the officers above the rank of lieutenant general for an urgent military meeting.

Although Ge Shuhan was dismissed from all his positions by the imperial court and served in the army as a white person, Yang Xi still arranged him in the first seat to show respect.

After informing all the generals present of the battle situation today and in the past few days, Yang Xi also announced the next arrangements.

His arrangement was to take advantage of the retreat of the rebels, the officers and men of the whole army gathered to rest and recuperate, and resolutely pursued the rebels without going out.

After resting and recuperating and the officers and men have recovered their physical strength, they should begin large-scale training.

He was very dissatisfied with the uneven military quality of these officers and men in Tongguan City, and he was very dissatisfied with the organization and discipline, and he must train them strictly to make these 60,000 or 70,000 men and horses in Tongguan an elite army with outstanding combat effectiveness and excellent organization and discipline.

"Advance and retreat in an orderly manner, order and prohibit, ride ** good!" This is the goal set by Yang Xi.

Yang Xi also announced in public the new organizational arrangements for the Tongguan people: all the reinforcements arriving in Tongguan were disrupted and reclassified to the commanders of each general.

There are still 10,000 infantry troops marching on foot who have not yet arrived at Tongguan, according to Yang Guozhong's secret report, the 30,000 soldiers formed by the imperial court are on their way to Tongguan. When these horses arrive, they will also be disorganized and regrouped and placed under the command of the generals.

He publicly announced the new arrangements for the selection of Tongguan commanders and generals that had been urgently transmitted by the imperial court: Gao Shi as the marching Sima, Wang Sili as the cavalry soldier and horse envoy, Pang Zhong as the infantry soldier and horse envoy, Tian Liangqiu as the cavalry commander on the right side, Lu Chongben as the cavalry commander on the left side, Li Fude as the commander of the left wing of the infantry army, Li Chengguang as the commander of the right wing, and Liu Guangting as the vanguard commander under the marshal's account. The other generals were appointed to the posts of deputy commanders.

This appointment was suggested by Yang Xi and was approved by Emperor Li Longji after being reported to the imperial court.

With Yang Guozhong's father here, Yang Xi felt that many things were easy to do.

Yang Xi also had another goal that he did not announce in public, that is, he wanted to train a special operations team with outstanding combat effectiveness, which he would personally manage, select, and train for urgent and special tasks.

He is an "expert" in this area, and as long as he is given time, he believes that he will be able to train special detachments with outstanding individual combat capability and overall combat capability that will make the enemy fearful.

The strategy set by Yang Xi was mainly based on rest and training for a period of time after that, and he took the initiative to find rebels to fight without going out, which was supported by most of the generals, but there were still many generals who were eager to succeed and wanted to take the initiative to attack.

With Chen Xuanli leading the reinforcements to Tongguan, he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Xi because of Chen Xuanli's relationship, and in addition to the new arrangement, he only got a right military guard general Fan Zhicheng, who was the deputy commander of the infantry army, stood up after Yang Xi announced the next arrangements and appointments, and put forward his opinions to Yang Xi and Ge Shuhan: "Marshal Yang, General Ge Shu, the last general feels that our army should follow and pursue while the rebels are retreating chaotically, and defeat the rebels as soon as possible!" The last general felt that Marshal Yang was too timid to do this, the rebels retreated in a hurry, no more than the previous orderly retreat, they could make careful arrangements to ambush our army, this time they fled in embarrassment, our army should not give up the pursuit, if they take advantage of the chaos to chase and kill, it is likely to be able to retreat from the enemy in a battle!"

After listening to what Fan Zhicheng said, the expression on Yang Xi's face did not change, and he asked lightly: "General Fan, did you send someone to find out the situation clearly and make sure that the rebels did not set up ambushes along the way?" ”

"This ...... Nope!" Fan Zhicheng, who didn't expect Yang Xi to ask like this, was a little overwhelmed on his face, but he still shook his head honestly and replied.

"Then aren't you afraid of the reappearance of Lingbao's tragedy?" Yang Xi's expression became indifferent, "My father also thought the same thing as you at the beginning, thinking that the rebels could not get benefits under Tongguan City, so they fled in a cowardly battle, and the Tongguan Town Army should have taken the initiative to go out to fight, but they suffered a fiasco, aren't you afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past?" If the 60,000 or 70,000 horses in Tongguan are hit hard again, the imperial court will not be able to send reinforcements to rescue Tongguan!"

"What Marshal Yang said is reasonable, the same mistake cannot be made twice!" Ge Shuhan unceremoniously followed Yang Xi to accuse Fan Zhicheng, "General Fan, in the first battle of Lingbao, our army suffered a crushing defeat and suffered a great loss of vitality, if it wasn't for Marshal Yang leading people to rescue Tongguan, now Tongguan would definitely fall into the hands of the rebels!" The old man insisted on supporting Marshal Yang's decision and stubbornly held on without a fight!"

Seeing that Ge Shuhan also said the same, Yang Xi didn't say anything on this issue, but tonight he also said something that had to be dealt with according to Fan Zhicheng's closed mouth!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this marshal got a report that when General Chen led the army to aid Tongguan this time, he deliberately slowed down the march because of the demagogy of some generals, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Yang Xi said and stared at Fan Zhicheng, who was still a little unconvinced, but after listening to what he said, he was a little shocked, "General Fan, you are General Chen's lieutenant, can you tell Ben Shuai who made such a suggestion to General Chen?" ”

Hearing Yang Xi's question so direct, Fan Zhicheng was a little stunned, and he couldn't react at once.

He didn't expect that Yang Xi would know about this so quickly and hold him accountable in public.

Seeing that Fan Zhicheng stood up and didn't dare to answer, Yang Xi's face surged up with anger, and he shouted: "Fan Zhicheng, Ben Shuai has to be rewarded, it is you who have repeatedly bewitched General Chen not to march at full speed, and you want to take the opportunity to make Ben Shuai lose the battle, so as to take the opportunity to let the emperor blame his father's sin!" My father didn't want to judge right and wrong, but when the national disaster was at hand, when Tongguan was in danger, he deliberately slowed down the rescue speed, which is a big crime, which is tantamount to rebellion, and he can't be blamed!"

Yang Xi said, looked at the generals on the field coldly, and said in a very majestic voice: "This marshal will never tolerate this situation, and the order must be forbidden in the army, but Ben Shuai doesn't want to kill people today, and he doesn't want any more generals to be killed under the sword given by His Majesty the Emperor, but the guilty can't be blamed!" Come and beat Fan Zhicheng with thirty military sticks to set an example!"

Yang Xi knew that in this matter, Chen Xuanli's original intention was like this, if Chen Xuanli didn't mean this, Fan Zhicheng wouldn't have much effect if he said anything.

But he can't hold Chen Xuanli, who has left Tongguan, accountable at this time, of course, he must "attack" his cronies who stayed in Tongguan, let them teach them a long lesson, and don't act against his orders in the future. This is called "killing monkeys and chickens"!

"Yes!" With a few orders, several sergeants with five big and three thick soldiers rushed into the house and dragged Fan Zhicheng out, who was at a loss!
