Yang Xi, who obviously felt the change in Ge Shuhan's attitude and tone of speech, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately said: "The last general has already made a military order in front of His Majesty, he must defend Tongguan and block the rebels from the pass, if he can't do it, he will definitely repay the country with death!"

Yang Xi said very arrogantly and movingly, but he immediately added: "Of course, the last general knows that when shouting slogans, you can't hold Tongguan, and if you want to defend Tongguan with these remnants of the defeated army now, it is very difficult, and you must make careful arrangements!" Fortunately, the rebels have not yet attacked the city of Tongguan, and we have time to respond!"

When Ge Shuhan's troops were defeated, there were several men and horses, such as Wang Sili, Pang Zhong and other generals, although they were also unable to form an army, but they were rich in combat experience, and when they retreated, they still arranged roadblocks along the way to slow down the pursuit of the rebels.

Just as Yang Xi personally supported Ge Shuhan and walked in the direction of his handsome tent, there was a shouting sound in the distance, but it was not very loud, and it quickly became lighter. Seeing Yang Xi looking back, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Ge Shuhan's mouth, and said, "General Yang, don't worry, the south gate is safe, it has been re-controlled, and someone will come to report in a while!"

When the two walked into the tent with each other, Ge Shuhan asked Yang Xi: "Yang soldiers and horses, in your opinion, how to arrange it properly to defend Tongguan?" ”

"How to defend, the last general wants to discuss carefully with Marshal Geshu, and then express his opinion after listening to the current situation in Tongguan, but the last general feels that there are a few points that must be done now! One is to remove the corpses in the forbidden ditch, so that the forbidden ditch can resume its function of blocking the enemy, and the other is to ......" Yang Xi said, paused before saying: "According to the last general's thoughts, now we should send a group of men and horses out of the city and ambush on the passage from Lingbao to Chang'an!"

"What? Ambush? Geshuhan was taken aback!

"Why do you think that?" Hearing Yang Xi say this, Ge Shuhan was taken aback, frowned and asked: "Yang soldiers and horses, you must know that now in Tongguan City, except for the three thousand men and horses you brought, the rest are all remnants of the defeated army, and there is no combat power at all, if you send men and horses out of the city to ambush again, let's not talk about whether it will have an effect, but it will definitely lead to a decrease in the number of sergeants defending Tongguan, and there will be panic when the thief army comes to attack!" If the ambush fails, it will cause even more panic, causing the army to be unstable, and maybe the defenders of Tongguan will be defeated without a fight!"

"Marshal Ge Shu is very reasonable, but the last general feels that it is still necessary to set up an ambush outside the city," in the face of Ge Shuhan's unceremonious questioning, Yang Xi still insisted on his own idea after agreeing with a sentence, and explained: "The purpose of the last general to do this is not to say that he wants to effectively kill and injure the rebels, but just to slow down the movement of the rebels!" Presumably, Marshal Ge Shu also understood that now the rebels must be on the way to Tongguan, and they can reach the city of Tongguan at any time, if they encounter an ambush on the way, they will definitely be suspicious, afraid of being ambushed by the officers and soldiers, and will slow down the march, and find a way to find out the situation before making follow-up arrangements. If this kind of thing happens two or three times, it can buy us time to adjust the deployment of troops in Tongguan, and it may not even be possible to wait until the follow-up army of General Chen Xuanli arrives! It's just a suspicion!"

Yang Xi then talked about his deeper thoughts, and explained some details!

After listening to Yang Xi's explanation, Ge Shuhan fell into deep thought and did not express his opinion immediately.

Seeing that Ge Shuhan was a little moved by what he said, Yang Xi continued to state: "Marshal Ge Shu, if the men and horses in ambush are the reinforcements brought by the last general, or even under the banner of the last general's 'Yang', then the rebels will be suspicious; if they know that the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived in Tongguan, they will be even more worried, and even give up the decision to attack Tongguan immediately!" The last general knows that with the current strength of Tongguan, this remnant of the defeated general, it is very difficult to hold Tongguan, and the forbidden ditch outside the pass is filled with corpses, so we must do everything we can to slow down the rebels' siege!"

After Yang Xi finished speaking, a pair of shining eyes stared straight at Ge Shuhan, without any intention of backing down, nor a little timidity.

What he had to do now was to be as sincere as possible in exchange for the trust of Goshuhan and his generals. Without the trust and support of Ge Shuhan, Wang Sili, Pang Zhong and others, with the 3,000 men and horses he led, it was more difficult to defend Tongguan City. It is roughly estimated that there are nearly 100,000 rebels outside Tongguan City, and with 3,000 men and horses to deal with 100,000, if you want to achieve victory and hold Tongguan, no one will believe it, and so will he!

Unless he leads a team equipped with modern weapons, just like the troops he commanded in later generations, equipped with all kinds of guns, grenades and even artillery and other weapons, the ultimate fate is that the city will be destroyed!

In the era of cold weapons, under certain circumstances, three thousand and thirteen thousand, the combat power that bursts out may be several energy levels apart!

What's more, he has a bad relationship with Ge Shuhan and his subordinates, and he will be restrained everywhere, and the power of the three thousand soldiers and horses will not be brought into play!

Ge Shuhan was a little surprised, shocked that Yang Xi would say this. Sending people out of the city to ambush, slowing down the march of the rebels, buying time for the defense of the city, and ordering Yang Xi's own men and horses to go out of the city to set up an ambush, Ge Shuhan was a little suspicious that he had heard the wrong words and recognized the wrong person!

Is this really Yang Guozhong's son? Not at all!

But after careful identification, there is nothing wrong with it, the young man in military uniform in front of him is Yang Guozhong's youngest son Yang Xi.

After a long sigh, Ge Shuhan put away the stunned look just now, and nodded in agreement with what Yang Xi said: "Yang soldiers and horses, I agree with your proposal, you can send a few troops out of the city to set up ambushes in dangerous positions to delay the rebels' attack!" In addition, the corpses in the forbidden ditch have already been cleaned up by the sergeants, but there are too many corpses piled up inside, and it will take a lot of time to clear them all, but the rebels can't wait so many days to attack the city, so they can only clean up as much as they want!"

"There are two ways to clean up the corpses in the forbidden ditch quickly!" Yang Xi said, stretching out two fingers, "One is to rush with fire." If there is a lot of water to divert from it, the corpse of the sergeant in the forbidden ditch can be washed away quickly; Another is to burn it with fire, pour oil on it, pile dry firewood, and a fire can burn the corpses inside to ashes! But these two methods are very difficult, near Tongguan, there is no water to lead to the forbidden ditch, unless it rains heavily; Burning with fire is likely to make the morale of the army change, after all, those corpses in the forbidden ditch are all my Tang sergeants, not rebels, many of them are the companions of the survivors, and burning the corpses of these people is likely to make the sergeants angry, and even change!"

"Hmm......" Ge Shuhan listened, looked thoughtful, and was about to say something, when there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside, and then after a "report", two people immediately flashed into the house.

It was none other than Pang Zhong and Li Fu, who had just been ordered to control the South Gate. After they took control of the South Gate by drastic means, they handed over the defense of the South Gate to their respective lieutenants, and ran back to report the situation to Ge Shuhan and Yang Xi, and accepted a new mission.

Seeing that the two generals had come in and reported that they had successfully controlled the south gate, Yang Xi did not wait for Ge Shuhan to give any orders, and immediately ordered Li Fudao: "General Li, you immediately lead five hundred men and horses out of the city, and choose a dangerous area outside the city to set up an ambush, so as to delay the speed of the rebels' pursuit, buy time for our army to re-arm, and use the banner of your own soldiers and horses!" Be careful, don't fall in love with the battle, retreat after a few rounds of arrows on contact, and have your lieutenant lead a thousand sergeants to set up another ambush point at a distance from your ambush site, and then a sergeant to drag the branches back and run back with a horsetail at a distance from the second ambush point, and try to raise as much dust and sand as possible! After a few times, you can withdraw to the city!"

Seeing that Li Fude and Pang Zhong were both puzzled, Yang Xi had to patiently continue to explain, and explained the reason why he did this, that is, to sing an empty city plan, the method is similar to that when Li Shimin led the army to solve the siege of Yanmen with suspicious soldiers, the purpose was just to let the rebels know that the people and horses of the imperial court to rescue Tongguan had arrived, and they dared to take the initiative to ambush the rebels outside the city, so that the rebels had scruples and did not dare to boldly pursue them.

After Yang Xi's explanation, Li Fu finally understood what was going on, but he still hesitated. It's not that he doesn't respect Yang Xi's order, it's just that he was worried that Yang Guozhong's youngest son would have an accident in the city, so he didn't dare to agree immediately.

For him, the accident of guarding Tongguan is far less important than protecting Yang Xi's safety, and if he loses Tongguan, he will basically not be responsible, but if Yang Xi is not protected and captured by Ge Shuhan and his subordinates as hostages, then the crime will be great, how could Yang Guozhong let him go?

Li Fude couldn't understand why Yang Xi arranged it like this, completely disregarding his own safety.

The men and horses led by him and Liu Guangting should be the most reliable force for Yang Xi, and after arriving at Tongguan, Yang Xi didn't think about it at all, let him and Liu Guangting lead the army to escort him, but ordered them to carry out the task immediately. Just now he was ordered to lead the army to capture the south gate of Tongguan, and now he is ordered to lead a group of men and horses out of the city to set up an ambush to slow down the speed of the rebels' march, while Liu Guangting still has the outside of Tongguan to clean up the rout.

Send him and Liu Guangting out, who else will lead the army to guard in the city?

Because of such concerns, after Yang Xi announced the order, Li Fu couldn't help but hesitate!

Yang Xi saw that Li Fu was still hesitating, and couldn't help but be "furious", "bang" pulled out the sword on his waist, pointed at Li Fude and said: "General Li, if you dare to disobey orders and disrespect, Hugh blame will not be merciful, and military law will be engaged!"

"Yes, the last general!" Li Fu, who was taken aback, had to straighten up and shout his order!

"Remember, don't fall in love with war, but you must not let the rebels see the clues, you must do everything possible to slow down the rebels' attack, otherwise the general will also be punished!"

"Yes, the last general will definitely complete his mission!" After giving a salute, Li Fu strode out and set up.
