"Your Majesty, they are spewing blood and openly slandering their ministers!" Yang Guozhong finally couldn't help but stand up, and angrily reprimanded Chen Xuanli and Xiao Hua in front of Li Longji: "Your Majesty, General Chen and Xiao Shilang have long been suspicious of their ministers, they just want to take advantage of the defeat of Tongguan to announce their personal vendetta and cause their ministers to die, not for the country!" Chen Yili insisted on letting Ge Shuhan lead the army to attack, just to take advantage of the successive victories in the north and the low morale of the rebels, and wanted to give up Luoyang and retreat to Fanyang, and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is dedicated to the country, and he plans and considers His Majesty everywhere, and he has not considered his own selfish interests at all! But Ge Shuhan did everything possible to refuse, stationed troops for his own unsightly purpose, and recruited a large number of sergeants, and even wanted to be the second in An Lushan, so that he missed the best opportunity to fight, so that the rebels got enough time to do the defense! When he went out to fight, he must have been timid, and only 200,000 soldiers and horses were defeated by tens of thousands of rebels, which was Geshuhan's incompetence, not the fault of his ministers! Your Majesty should blame Ge Shuhan and his generals, not the ministers! The minister is guilty, but it is only a crime of negligence, please let Your Majesty know it!"

Yang Guozhong was so impassioned, and his righteous words surprised everyone in the palace, and even Emperor Li Longji, who was originally a little shaken, was slightly surprised, and he quickly agreed that what Yang Guozhong said was right! He also always thought that Yang Guozhong thought so!

Seeing that the emperor's face that had changed slightly almost made the emperor's face return to normal, Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief, and before the ministers had time to react, he said again: "Your Majesty, my son is only seventeen years old and has never been in the army, how can I lead the army to rescue Tongguan, isn't this a child's play for the military affairs?" If it is because of the fault of the ministers and dogs, so that Tongguan is lost, then who will bear this responsibility? Your Majesty, the minister agreed to send a large army to rescue Tongguan to ensure that Tongguan was not lost, and the minister's advice to let Ge Shuhan go out of the pass to fight now proved to be a wrong move, the minister is guilty, but the minister will ask His Majesty for guilt afterwards, and let His Majesty dispose of it at will! The most important thing now is how to save Tongguan and ensure the safety of Gyeonggi, and the rest can be discussed in the future!"

The monstrous anger was brewing in Yang Guozhong's heart, and he swore that he would not let Chen Xuanli and Xiao Hua go in the future! But now he didn't have much confidence to accuse them, because he also knew that the emperor must also be angry with his bad idea, which could be seen from the change in Li Longji's face after listening to Chen Xuanli and Xiao Hua's words just now! Yang Guozhong knew Emperor Li Longji too well, so he immediately made a generous statement, and then took a step back, and also confessed to a certain extent, giving himself and the emperor a step down, that is the form of expression that the emperor likes!

However, Chen Xuanli misunderstood the meaning of Yang Guozhong's words, and regarded Yang Guozhong's later words as a false heart, and immediately stood up again to accuse: "Your Majesty, what Xiao Shilang said is very reasonable, Yang Xianggong is the initiator of this defeat, if he did not repeatedly ask Marshal Geshu to go out of the pass to fight, but according to Marshal Geshu's statement of the pass, and never go to war, so as to consume the living strength of the rebels, the thief army would not be able to capture Tongguan no matter what!" In order to boost the morale of the army, the minister implored His Majesty to reprimand Yang Xianggong and immediately send a large army to rescue Tongguan!"

Xiao Hua and some other officials also immediately stood up, accusing Yang Guozhong of abusing power and misleading the country, hoping that the emperor would punish him severely!

However, Wei Fangjin immediately stood up and refuted Chen Xuanli, saying that Yang Guozhong's move was dedicated to the country and wanted to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to raise a large army to attack and quell the rebellion in one fell swoop.

Yang Guozhong also took the opportunity to stand up and poured dirty water on Ge Shuhan's head again, saying that the original intention of his suggestion was good, hoping to take advantage of the situation to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and return the people of the world to peace, but Ge Shuhan's ineffective combat led to a big defeat, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ge Shuhan should be beheaded and other generals who are ineffective in fighting should be punished to comfort the army!" Otherwise, the morale of the army will be even more lost, and they will no longer be able to hold Tongguan!"

Seeing the fierce dispute between the two factions in the hall, Li Longji's face became more and more ugly, his gray eyebrows were twisted together, and his hands holding the dragon chair were also full of green tendons.

Seeing that when discussing the emergency military situation, people with different opinions from the two factions actually wanted to attack each other, seriously "crooked the building", and only knew how to add guilt to each other's heads, but did not discuss how to rescue Tongguan, and his own father was even worse, and he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ge Shuhan, Yang Xi felt a burst of extreme disappointment and sadness in his heart, and he wanted to rush forward and shout at his father and several other people.

But he finally held back, and when he saw an opportunity when both parties temporarily lowered their voices, he stood up and said in a voice that overshadowed everyone's arguments: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that now is not the time to discuss whose crime should be punished, in the incident of the defeat of Tongguan, who is guilty, who has merit, who just inadvertently made a mistake, Your Majesty will be aware of it, and the most important thing to discuss now is how to rescue Tongguan!"

"Immediately send troops to rescue Tongguan and ensure that Tongguan is not lost, instead of arguing over who is responsible for the crime in the court, is the most important thing for the court to do now, and the rest can be discussed after repelling the rebels!" Your Majesty, it is urgent to immediately send troops to rescue Chentong Pass, and there can be no hesitation! The minister asked for his life again, and was willing to lead the army to first aid Tongguan! The minister will definitely be able to save Tong in danger!"

After shaking everyone on the field with a loud voice, Yang Xi said loudly again: "Please Your Majesty give me thousands of horses, twice as many horses, and the minister will rescue Tongguan in the fastest way to transfer two horses!" The minister must promise to arrive at Tongguan before dawn tomorrow! As long as Your Majesty authorizes the ministers to take charge of the military affairs of Tongguan and command all the soldiers and horses in Tongguan with full authority, the ministers will definitely live up to their mission and block the rebels outside the city of Tongguan, otherwise they are willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty!"

The transfer of two horses is a way often used by Mongolian iron cavalry to conquer the world during the Mongol and Yuan periods, which can travel at the fastest speed on the premise of reducing the fatigue of the mount, and the people and horses do not rest. Meng Yuan rarely used it in the army before, but Yang Xi knew that it was a very critical time, so he brought it up, hoping to prove that his ability was different.

Yang Xi didn't know how he could be so bold and so arrogant in front of the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Perhaps it was a tragic feeling that he didn't want to waste his precious time in such an argument!

Hearing Yang Xi so vigorously again, Yang Guozhong, who had been observing the changes in the emperor's face, felt a little chill in his heart, and his heart was also full of grief and indignation, he obviously felt that Li Longji, who had been silent, was hiding his dissatisfaction with him in his heart, and even had the intention of adding him to the crime, and suddenly a feeling of letting go made him no longer argue and stop anything, stepped forward and stood side by side with Yang Xi, and saluted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister supports the dog's request, please ask Your Majesty for permission, and entrust the dog to lead the important task of rescuing Tongguan and take charge of the military affairs of Tongguan." !”

Li Longji, who had been frowning and listening to the arguments of the ministers in the field, obviously felt the dissatisfaction of the ministers in the court with Yang Guozhong, and his heart obviously changed, he knew that the defeat of Tongguan had rekindled the pent-up dissatisfaction with Yang Guozhong in the hearts of many ministers, and even went out of control, his mind was a little shaken, and he even wanted to add some guilt to Yang Guozhong to calm the anger of the people.

But at this time, Yang Xi stood up and asked for his life again!

Hearing Yang Xi's request for his life again, Yang Guozhong did not stop it, but agreed to Yang Xi's request for his life, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he did not hesitate anymore in a panic, and immediately made a decision before others stood up for and opposed: "Okay, since Yang Aiqing also asked for this, then I agreed to you and Yang Shilang's invitation to fight, and appointed Yang Xi as the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Tongguan, leading 3,000 men and horses, 6,000 horses, and two horses to transfer to rush forward, first aid Tongguan!" Then I will order the general again and lead more soldiers and horses to Tongguan!"

Li Longji's clapper also shocked the ministers of the court, and Chen Xuanli, who originally wanted to use this to vent his evil anger, was also stunned, he didn't expect that the emperor would really agree to Yang Xi's request, and the instigation of several of them, let this seventeen-year-old young man lead the army to rescue.

It's a bit of a joke about militaristic affairs!

However, he was also surprised by Yang Xi's statement that the two horses were transferred and the starry night rescued Tongguan, which was the fastest rescue method that could be taken now, and he was also impressed by Yang Guozhong, the young son who proudly made a statement in the court.

But no one immediately stood up for and against!

Yang Xi's first-aid method shocked many people in the court.

Tongguan is about two hundred and fifty miles away from Chang'an, and if you run fast with a horse, it will take about four or five hours to arrive, but it is impossible for a horse to gallop at the fastest speed all the time, so if you run dozens of miles, you will be tired. The establishment of the post station is to set up horses that can be rotated at intervals for the post guards to ride alternately, and transmit military information at the fastest speed, which is also possible to travel more than 600 miles a day.

Through the post station fast horse to Tongguan, half a day should arrive, as long as people eat!

But the number of fast horses at the post station is limited, and it is impossible to transfer thousands of horses!

The speed of the army is only a few dozen miles a day, and the speed of a light horse is more than 100 miles. But if two horses change horses, or change horses halfway, the speed will be faster, and the distance of two hundred and fifty miles to Tongguan can be reached in five or six hours.

Yang Xi can say such a thing, and many people already think that Yang Guozhong's young son is not without academics, and he is a bit level. The other things he said surprised the ministers even more, what he said was not accessible to ordinary people, and Yang Guozhong did not have this level.

In the hesitation of the ministers, Yang Xi took a step forward, and after saluting, he answered loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely lead the army to first aid Tongguan and stop the rebels of the thieves outside Tongguan City!" I just hope that Your Majesty can still meet a few requests from the minister!"
