Yang Xi's repeated requests were finally known by Yang Guozhong.

At close to noon on the 8th day of the first month of June, Yang Guozhong returned to the mansion and summoned Yang Xi to interrogate.

Yang Guozhong didn't sleep well, his spirit was not too good, he was a little haggard, and the dark circles under his eyes were obvious, but he was very happy to see that Yang Xi had become vigorous again, and his complexion was very good.

However, at this time, Yang Xi was anxious, and after only a few polite words, he asked directly: "Father, the child wants to ask his father, I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor has ordered the Tong Pass to guard Ge Shuhan out of the pass and fight the enemy in a decisive battle?" ”

"Wu'er, why are you talking about this important matter again? Is it just to talk about this in the past few days when I am desperately looking for a father? Hearing Yang Xi say this, Yang Guozhong frowned slightly, and immediately released after Yang Xi nodded his approval, and said with a slight smile: "Since you asked, then my father will tell you too!" A few days ago, His Majesty agreed to what his father said, and he had already issued an edict ordering Ge Shuhan to attack with all his troops! Cui Qianyou has less than 6,000 soldiers in Shaanxi County, all of them are weak and unprepared, and the thieves have withdrawn a group of elite soldiers to Luoyang, preparing to return to Fangyang, this is a good time to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop! The news came early in the morning that the vanguard of the thief army was defeated, and Ge Shuhan won successive victories, and in a few days, he could wipe out the vanguard of the thief army!"

"Huh?!! Father, did Ge Shuhan really lead the army out of the customs to fight? Hearing Yang Guozhong say this, Yang Xi's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the water, and he complained bitterly!

Oh my God, my father, is really stupid, and he has already instigated Li Longji to force Ge Shuhan to go out of the customs to fight.

Seeing Yang Xi's stunned look, Yang Guozhong frowned again, and said unhappily: "Xi'er, why are you so good? ”

"Father, didn't you listen to anything the child said? If the child's prediction is not bad, a catastrophe will come to my Datang again, and Ge Shuhan will definitely fall for the thief army's plan and be ambushed by the enemy!" Yang Xi was a little angry.

Yang Guozhong's face showed displeasure, and after glaring at Yang Xi sternly, he asked, "Shiro, why do you say that?" ”

The anger on Yang Guozhong's face can be seen by anyone, but Yang Xi didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't care about anything anymore, and directly told some of the contents of the book he read in later generations: "Lingbao on the east side of Tongguan is close to Huashan Mountain in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and a narrow mountain road seventy miles long in the middle, which is the only way out of Tongguan. According to the child's thoughts, the thief army must have buried elite soldiers on both sides of the mountain road, and the army of Geshuhan will definitely be ambushed, which will eventually lead to a fiasco, and Tongguan will not be protected!"

"After the thief army captured Luoyang, Chang'an was the place it must take! If you want to capture Chang'an, Tongguan must be captured, otherwise even if the thieves have millions of soldiers and horses, they can't help Chang'an! This can be seen from the fact that An Thief proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang on the first day of the first month, and ordered his son An Qingxu to lead an army to attack Tongguan on the 11th, and then personally conquered Tongguan! It's just that Tongguan is dangerous and not easy for the thief army to take, and Ge Shuhan adopted the correct strategy of holding the pass and not going out of the city to meet the enemy, so as to avoid Tongguan falling into the hands of the enemy, and holding on to the thief army for more than six months!"

"The persistence of more than six months also shows the correctness of the strategy of only defending and not fighting! When the thief army sees that the strong attack cannot be obtained, it will definitely take the outwitting section and use the old and weak soldiers as bait to lure our army out of the customs to fight! If you don't change the order and let Ge Shuhan return to Tongguan, he will still defend Tongguan, then a catastrophe will come, and Tongguan will be lost! Father, think twice! If Tongguan is lost, Chang'an will definitely not be protected, Chang'an will not be protected, our Yang family may suffer bad luck, and no one will have the ability to save it!"

Yang Xi spoke very thoroughly, and it was also very reasonable, Yang Guozhong was in his heart by Yang Xi's words, but the look on his face also changed suddenly, and he felt scared, and he didn't annoy his younger son's nonsense, but he didn't speak, just looked thoughtful.

To be honest, there are some things that Yang Xi said that he had thought of, but most of them he had never thought about.

After An Lushan rebelled, he, like Emperor Li Longji, had a contemptuous attitude, thinking that as long as the imperial court edict was issued and the king moved, the rebels would soon rise up and the rebellion would be put down immediately!

But the cruel facts proved that their initial idea was wrong, the rebel offensive was devastating, unstoppable, and did not encounter any decent resistance wherever they passed, even Feng Changqing, a famous general who had few defeats, was defeated one after another, and after joining forces with Gao Xianzhi, he only dared to retreat to Tongguan, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and repeatedly asked the imperial court to agree that they would defend Tongguan without fighting, and wait for the arrival of the army of King Qin in various places.

However, Yang Guozhong still believes that this is just the luck of the rebels, and the imperial court did not make proper arrangements in the early stage, so it did not deploy heavy troops in the pass. In recent years, the imperial court has emphasized the outside and neglected the interior, and most of the troops have been guarded by the town, and there are only about 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an and Luoyang, and they are all armies that have not fought before, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the border army that is good at fighting. If this were not the case, An Lushan would not have been so passive after the turmoil.

It's just that after the rebel uprising, the imperial court recruited young and middle-aged people to join the army, and soon recruited a large number of men and horses, and the soldiers and horses gathered in Tongguan have exceeded 200,000, more than 50,000 are elite soldiers who are good at fighting, and the defenders inside and outside Chang'an City also have more than 100,000, Yang Guozhong believes that these soldiers and horses can defeat the rebels. It was precisely because of this confidence that he dared to persuade Emperor Li Longji to order Ge Shuhan's soldiers and horses to go out of Tongguan to fight.

What's more, now that the north has won many victories, according to the news from Luoyang, An Lushan has plans to withdraw from Luoyang and return to Fanyang!

And he is not afraid of Geshuhan's defeat, because he has installed cronies in Geshuhan's army, and Bian Lingcheng, the superintendent, is his most reliable person, after Geshuhan's defeat, he can take charge of the army on his behalf, continue to guard Tongguan, and can successfully remove Geshuhan, a person who is equal to his status in the court. Previously, he had successfully used his means to get rid of Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, who had always looked down on him.

Ge Shuhan has always had a gap with him, and he also looks down on him, and he wants to take advantage of Ge Shuhan's defeat to get rid of this famous general.

But after listening to his son's analysis, he felt scared! His son wouldn't lie to him, Yang Xi's analysis was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but feel upset! I am not afraid of 10,000 if anything, but I am afraid that in case, if Ge Shuhan really loses Tongguan after the defeat, then Chang'an is also in danger, and what Yang Xi said is likely to really happen, and the Yang family will be destroyed!

Knowing that Yang Guozhong had been moved by his words, Yang Xi was overjoyed and immediately continued: "Father, the divisions of King Qin from Longyou, Anxi and other places are all border troops who are good at fighting, and they have the strength to fight the rebels. Therefore, according to what the child sees, it is now necessary to encourage the men and horses of all departments, revive their morale, and let them have more confidence to resist the enemy, so as not to let the thief army capture Tongguan and threaten Chang'an! Now it is time to strictly order Ge Shuhan to hold on to Tongguan and force the thief army to attack the city, and the official army can use the natural danger of Tongguan to consume the strength of the rebels, hit their morale, and force the rebels to retreat to Luoyang! At the same time, you can let the imperial court appease the edict, allow the thieves to seal the generals of the thief army to higher official positions, and induce them to surrender to Cheng, so as to divide their power! Father also knows that there are many things that can be settled after the autumn!"

"Well, my son's concerns are very far-reaching, and my father is deeply touched when he hears it! But what you say is very important, and you have to think carefully before you can answer it! After all, now that Ge Shuhan has led the army out of Tongguan to fight, it is unrealistic to retreat immediately!" Yang Guozhong stroked the black beard under his forehead, stared at Yang Xi with shining eyes, and asked meaningfully: "It's just strange for your father, why have you never given advice on this before, and suddenly said so many opinions to your father this time?" And it's an insight that ordinary people can't think of? ”

Knowing that he had said so much, Yang Guozhong must have doubts about his changes, and Yang Xi could only explain like this: "Father, the child was just afraid of being blamed by you before, and he never dared to say these thoughts, and you never asked the child about these things!" This time the child was injured and was in a coma for two days, and also had a few strange dreams, dreamed of a lot of strange things, and also understood many things that had never been thought of before, as if there was a white-bearded old man in the dream told me something about Tongguan, and after waking up, he thought a lot, and thought about the things that he knew before he fell asleep, that is, what happened after the thief's rebellion, and also inquired about Yang Zheng's court affairs and the movements of the rebels during this time, and then thought of these! Father, this is what the child thought of in a hurry, the child doesn't want your father to be criticized, and he doesn't want to be in a different place, and he doesn't want to see our family all in trouble, so that the family is ruined, and I ask my father to think twice!"

"Now that the rebels are strong, what my father has to do is to try his best to keep the rebels out of Tongguan City, and find a way to quell the rebels, instead of using his strength to eliminate dissent! If you want to hit your opponent, there will be opportunities in the future, but if Tongguan is broken and Chang'an falls, then my father is likely to be angry with the emperor and blamed by my colleagues, and my father may not have the opportunity to continue to hold the power of the court! Father think twice!"

Yang Xi's anxious appearance made Yang Guozhong a little moved, and the little doubt that had just arisen in his heart was immediately dispelled. He didn't want his young son to be so worried, so he leaned forward, reached out and stroked Yang Xi's head, and comforted him with a smile: "Xi'er is so concerned about state affairs, I am very comforting to my father!" But you don't have to worry too much when you're young, and your thoughts are a little simpler, so you don't have to worry too much about these things! What you said, think about it for the sake of the father's life, and let Ge Shuhan be ready for the situation! You can rest assured, maybe the news of Geshuhan's victory will come soon! It is impossible for the rebels to be defeated under the city of Tongguan, if they are defeated, they will not be able to hold back the position, how can they stop the 200,000 troops of Geshuhan? ”

Yang Guozhong said this, Yang Xi was a little helpless, and there was unspeakable anger, but he was still unwilling and wanted to continue. But at this time, a person dressed as a subordinate hurriedly ran in, ran to Yang Guozhong without a report, knelt down with a plop, and howled loudly: "Master, the big thing is not good, Ge Shuhan was defeated, and he was ambushed by the thief army Cui Qianyou in Lingbao, with heavy casualties, and almost the entire army was wiped out!"

"What?" Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi were taken aback, and they both stood up in unison, and their faces turned pale!
