Yang Xi slept a very effective night's sleep.

It wasn't a very long sleep, two hours at most, but it was enough to regain his energy.

When he woke up, it was still dark, Yang Xi couldn't worry about the situation outside, got out of bed, and prepared to patrol the city.

In the process of sleeping later, Yang Xi was not woken up, that is, there was no major situation after that.

If something big happens, the guards around him will definitely wake him up.

The more than 300 guards around him also slept in batches.

Last night, they marched through the night, and none of them had a chance to sleep, and a day passed in tension, and although many felt sleepy, they did not have a chance to rest. If you continue to sleep like this, everyone's mental strength will be much worse, including Yang Xi.

Yang Xi wanted to nourish his spirits, and the guards around him let them sleep in batches, each sleeping for a few hours, to recover their strength.

When Yang Xi got up and was about to go to patrol the city, he didn't wake up the sleeping guards, but also ordered Yang Dong to take the more than 100 guards who were on duty to go with him. If Yang Dong dared to hesitate to Yang Xi's order before coming to Tongguan, he could even use Yang Guozhong's or Pei Rou's order to oppose Yang Xi's request, but after following Yang Xi to Tongguan for a day and a night, he no longer dared to do anything that would discourage his fourth son. If the master who kills the decisiveness in this way dares to show any disrespect, no one knows what punishment he will receive.

Although he hoped that Yang Xi could sleep for a while, but Yang Xi was going to patrol the city, Yang Dong didn't dare to hesitate, let alone say anything to dissuade him, so he could only obediently take more than 100 subordinates to guard Yang Xi to the city.

There were many lanterns and torches on the top of the city, and heavily armed sergeants were constantly patrolling back and forth, but there was no sound except for the neat sound of the sergeants stepping on the city wall when they were patrolling, and even the originally lively chirping of insects and birds could not be heard. This tranquility makes people feel very peaceful, as if this is not a battlefield, but an ordinary city pass, and the people in the city are all asleep, very peaceful.

But Yang Xi knew that after a while of dawn, it might be morning, at most noon, there would be a very fierce battle of attack and defense of the city, and countless sergeants would die at the head of the city, and many of the sergeants patrolling the city now may also lose their lives after a period of time. Under the Hantong Pass, hundreds of thousands of troops have died there, and soon the corpses there will rot, and the stench will fill the entire city pass. Now inside and outside Tongguan City, it smells very bad, there is a smell of burnt ash, a strange smell after the corpse is burned, and the stench of the corpse decaying, a variety of smells are mixed together, making people smell uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the wind was strong at night, which blew away many unpleasant smells, otherwise it would have made people feel even more disgusting.

Yang Xi was very emotional when he watched the neatly lined up patrol sergeants stop in front of him, saluted loudly, and continued to patrol under his instructions. A few months ago, both sides of the attack and defense had the same name, that is, they were both the army of the Tang Empire, but now, the two teams of men and horses have become enemies of life and death, and the name has also changed, one side is still a sergeant of the Tang Empire, and the other side has become the army of Dayan.

in the same room, you live or die, this is the sorrow of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the sorrow of the people of the world.

Yang Xi knew that the Anshi Rebellion in history lasted for more than ten years, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also changed three terms here, namely Tang Xuanzong, Tang Suzong, and Tang Dynasty Zong, until the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu time, the rebellion was completely quelled, and at that time, countless soldiers and civilians died in the turmoil, and the prosperous atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty has been completely destroyed, and since then it has gone into decline and slumped.

Yang Xi hopes that because of the arrival of his time-traveler, all history will be changed because of his appearance.

And the change must start from holding Tongguan, avoiding the fall of Chang'an, and preventing Emperor Li Longji from fleeing west into Shu.

If he succeeded in stopping the rebels outside Tongguan City because of his appearance, and inflicted heavy losses on the rebels, the course of history would soon be disrupted, and future history would definitely not develop as before.

Thinking that what he did was changing history, Yang Xi felt a sense of mission and honor in his heart.

In any case, we must go all out to guard Tongguan and not let Tongguan fall into the hands of the enemy. With this ambition and sense of mission, Yang Xi walked very easily on his way around the city, and even walked naturally in front of the sergeants guarding the battlements and patted them on the shoulders affectionately to show his condolences.

Yang Xi's order to be appointed as the deputy marshal of soldiers and horses has been announced, and every sergeant knows that this lightest young man is rightfully in charge of the military affairs of Tongguan, coupled with Yang Xi's amazing performance during the day, most of the sergeants are very respectful to Yang Xi, and they have a sense of awe in their hearts. Seeing that the commander of the army came to pat his shoulder so kindly and expressed encouragement, the sergeant who was fortunate enough to be patted on the shoulder was a little choked up with excitement. A day ago, they were still in ruins, and they didn't know how to be punished, but now they are not worried about being punished, and they have even received cordial encouragement from the marshal, can the little soldiers not be excited? You must know that in this era, respect and humility are very different.

Just when Yang Xi was intentionally or unintentionally acting in a scene to comfort the sergeant, another group of people came in front, and after shouting and asking, he realized that it was Gao Shi, who had woken up from sleep, and led a group of sergeants to patrol the southeast of the city.

When he knew that it was Yang Xi who was patrolling the city with his personal guards on the other side, Gao Shi immediately ran over with two deputies, and reported loudly after giving a military salute: "Report to Marshal Yang, the last general is afraid that the rebels will attack the city at night, and he is taking the sergeant to patrol the city!"

After Yang Xi returned the salute, he said, "General Gao has worked hard!"

"Marshal, our army Lingbao has been defeated, 200,000 horses and horses have almost been wiped out, Tongguan is in danger, the last general will not dare to have any slackness, dare not say any hardship!"

Although Gao Shi did not participate in the Battle of Lingbao, as Ge Shuhan's senior staff, if the imperial court condemned him, he would also be punished.

Not only him, but all other Ge Shuhan's subordinates were like this, and many of them were like Gao Shi, hoping to use their hard work to alleviate the sins they carried, and even atone for their sins.

Originally, Gao Shi, who had made meritorious contributions to the enemy and won promotion with military merits, showed more efforts in this regard.

This is not only in the eyes of Ge Shuhan, but even Yang Xi, who has just come to Tongguan to take charge of military affairs, can also see it at once!

Feel good about each other, plus Yang Xi knows the name of Gao Shi in history, and he already has the heart to recruit his own name, listening to Gao Shi say this, he also took the opportunity to say: "General Gao's talent is amazing, and General Gao's ability to do things is also very admirable. In this way, from today onwards, you will follow the commander, take charge of military affairs on behalf of the commander, and perform the duties of the military commander! This marshal will report to the court immediately and ask for an appointment for you."

Gao Shi was stunned and stunned, but he was only stunned for a while, and immediately respectfully thanked him: "Thank you Marshal Yang for your love, the last general will definitely live up to his mission and live up to the marshal's trust!"
