(Thank you for the continuous tipping of the book friend!) ——

This is what Yang Xi has been thinking about on the way back to Shaanxi County from Chang'an, and he finally came to the conclusion after thinking about it for most of the night last night.

And there are also some inexplicable and incomprehensible factors supporting his decision.

It's time to lead the army in a few battles and take the initiative. The current strength of the official army is much stronger than that of the rebels, maybe Fan Yang will soon be captured by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops, and he can't be too backward. Not only did Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops prepare to attack Fan Yang and Sun Xiaozhe's troops to be depressed, but there were also other factors that prompted Yang Xi to change his original idea of only defending and not attacking.

According to the news from the secret agents placed in Luoyang, the rebels are not in a group. Between An Lushan and An Qingxu, between An Lushan and his ministers, the contradiction is not small, and if you fan the flames a few times, maybe there will be a lot of trouble in Luoyang City, and at that time, some of the rebels will not necessarily disintegrate, and many credits may be able to be selected.

Today, when Yang Xi convened the generals to discuss the military situation, he did not ask the generals too much, but directly expressed his opinion, and the purpose also had another meaning, that is, he wanted to further impress his generals, and also let the king of Yan, Li Jue, dare not despise him and be shocked by his decisiveness. He wants to re-establish his prestige and make his reputation even louder.

Yang Xi's roar woke the generals from their surprise, and Gao Shi was the first to stand up and support Yang Xi: "The last general supports Marshal Yang's decision, and now the comparison of the situation between the enemy and us is very favorable to our army, and the rebels dare not advance again in Kip Stone Fort, and their morale is low, and after our army's successive victories, morale is high, and the last general feels that we should take advantage of our army's strength." When morale is high, it deals a fatal blow to the rebels. ”

Seeing Yang Xi say this, Pang Zhong's arrogance was also stimulated, and he immediately stepped forward, saluted Li Jue and Yang Xi and said: "The last general agrees with Marshal Yang's proposal, and should take the initiative to attack when the spring is suitable for large-scale military operations, and completely annihilate the rebel Sun Xiaozhe's army, which has suffered heavy losses, and the troops will be directed at Luoyang. The last general was willing to lead the army to attack Sun Xiaozhe's army. ”

Listen to Gao Shi and Pang Zhong have stood up in support. How can other generals still endure it, they are even more afraid that the opportunity for the main attack will fall on Pang Zhong's head again, and the military merits were snatched away by him again, and they all stood up to express their support for Yang Xi's initiative to attack proposal, Wang Sili, Tian Liangqiu, Lu Chongben, Liu Guangting and other generals also asked for orders, asking to lead the front army to attack, and several people made a military order on the spot, if they could not achieve victory, they were willing to listen to Li Jue and Yang Xi's punishment. Time. The hall became full of emotion.

This made Li Jue, the king of Yan, who was not used to such a scene, very surprised, and he didn't know where to run when he heard the generals report on the military situation just now. At this time, Yang Xi asked him for his opinion again: "His Royal Highness King Yan, everyone thinks that the army should take the initiative to attack the rebels. Take advantage of the situation to annihilate Sun Xiaozhe's department. After annihilating Sun Xiaozhe's troops, he will attack Luoyang. But in the end, how to act, please ask His Royal Highness King Yan to decide. ”

Li Jue didn't expect Yang Xi to throw the problem to him again. He has never been in charge of the military, and he has not done much important things before. He didn't know what to say all of a sudden, and he felt a little reluctant to make a decision on this military operation. He's a bit forward-looking. Gain and loss. What if he decides to attack the rebels and fails? He was a little weird for Yang Xi for letting him decide such a major matter, instead of discussing the specific results with the generals, and then letting him echo it after he had a final conclusion, which was the best. But he also knew that there was nothing wrong with Yang Xi doing this, and on such an important matter, it must be him, the marshal of soldiers and horses, who made the final decision.

However, his natural caution made him not make a decision easily, and after stroking his beard and thinking for a while, he hesitated to ask Yang Xi again: "Marshal Yang, this king wants to ask you, do you think that if you take the initiative to attack the rebels, how sure are you of victory?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, the end will be nine points certain!" Yang Xi straightened up and replied.

He was not dissatisfied with Li Jue's caution in public, he understood that Li Jue, who had never been in the army, behaved like this, and he didn't ask Li Jue again at the moment, just waited for his follow-up reaction.

"Since Marshal Yang has 80,000 sure, that's a good thing, or else, wait for this king to think about it again, discuss it carefully with Marshal Yang, and then make a decision, how about it?"

Although Li Jue's words made everyone feel that this was a prince who was not decisive in killing, it was not wrong to be careful, after all, this was a major matter related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and it was not a bad thing to consider making a decision again and again, you must know that the generals just now did not immediately express their support for Yang Xi's decision.

"That's fine! His Royal Highness King Yan is reasonable, this matter needs to be considered by good students and discussed more. Seeing that Li Jue said this, what else could Yang Xi say, and after thinking about it, he agreed. However, he was still quite disappointed in his heart, originally he expected that the follow-up actions would be decided at today's meeting, and immediately ordered the generals to do pre-war mobilization and preparations, and start as soon as possible, so as to take the rebels by surprise.

The soldiers are fast, this is something that Yang Xi agrees with at all times. It's all because Li Jue went to bed early last night, he didn't have time to communicate with His Royal Highness King Yan, but just said a general military situation, saying that the current situation is very favorable to our army, and we should take advantage of the situation, and I didn't say that I would attack immediately. I didn't have a good communication with Li Jue, but I directly expressed my intention at the military meeting today, no matter how good Li Jue is to discuss, in order to show his majesty in front of the generals, so that the generals can understand that he is the last marshal to make up his mind, it is quite normal that he did not make a decision immediately. Yang Xi also further realized what his biological father's character was. After all, Yang Xi is young, and his temperament is much less calm than other generals like old fritters, and before Li Jue came to Shaanxi County, he was used to making his own ideas, and he didn't take Li Jue too seriously today.

In the future, let's face up to Li Jue's existence, and it is also an unshirkable obligation to help this real father establish some prestige.

Hearing Yang Xi say the same, Li Jue didn't say anything more, and ordered the generals to disperse, leaving Yang Xi alone.

The generals, whose pride had been aroused, left somewhat reluctantly.

After the generals left, Li Jue also hurriedly explained to Yang Xi the reason why he said this today: "Marshal Yang, it's not that this king doesn't approve of your proposal today, but I'm just very worried, afraid that it will ...... in case."

Since knowing that Yang Xi may be his biological son, Li Jue's feelings for Yang Xi have completely changed, and when he gets along alone, he unconsciously shows a little kindness, plus when he comes to Shaanxi County, he relies on Yang Xi's support, no matter what, he will not be too strong against Yang Xi. What's more, his personality was not a strong form in the first place, so when he was alone with Yang Xi, he spoke like this.

From Li Jue's words, Yang Xi felt something special, but he still deliberately avoided breaking the relationship between the two now, and still said with a businesslike appearance: "His Royal Highness King Yan, along the way, the last generals are seriously thinking about the situation between the enemy and us. After arriving in Shaanxi County, he did not have a good rest, and he had been analyzing the military situation last night, believing that now was a good time for our army to launch an active attack. If the rebels did not find out the news of our army, they would definitely think that the last general was still in Chang'an and did not return to Shaanxi County, and they would not know that His Royal Highness King Yan personally went to Shaanxi County to lead the army. If they take advantage of this opportunity and launch an attack immediately, the rebels will not have time to respond. His Royal Highness King Yan came to Shaanxi County, definitely not just to stay here for a while, but to gain military merits and increase his prestige. If our army takes the initiative to attack and achieves a great victory while the rebels are unprepared, then His Highness's prestige in the court will surely rise. The last general also understands His Highness's worries, any war is risky, and with the last general, His Royal Highness King Yan should not worry too much. ”

Hearing Yang Xi say this, there was another meaning in his words, and Li Jue was a little moved. After thinking about it for a while, he also nodded and agreed with what Yang Xi said: "What Marshal Yang said, this king also agrees, and this king also hopes to command the army to win a few battles, put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and return peace to the people of the world." Then follow the persuasion of Marshal Yang, and immediately march eastward to attack Sun Xiaozhe's army. ”

In fact, Li Jue really wanted to ask Yang Xi if he already knew that he was Yang Xi's biological father, and that the father and son could work hard for that very lofty goal in the future. But after hesitating a few times, I still don't know how to speak. He was afraid that if he said this, Yang Xi would turn against him, after all, this matter was too sensitive and unseemly.

After he said it, if Yang Xi didn't approve of it and turned against him, then he wouldn't be able to reap any benefits from his venture to the army this time.

After listening to Li Jue's decision after only a few words, Yang Xi was naturally very happy, and he didn't be polite at the moment, and directly talked to Li Jue about his plan. He planned to leave a general with more than 10,000 men to guard Shaanxi County, and the other more than 100,000 people all left Shaanxi County and marched quickly to attack Sun Xiaozhe's department.

He was ready to use Wang Sili's department as the front army, and he himself and Pang Zhong led the middle army, and let Li Ying lead the rear army to follow.

When Yang Xi accompanied Li Jue back to Shaanxi County, he brought back 25,000 soldiers and horses from Shaanxi County, and the army of Tongguan Town was reduced to 50,000 people, and the number of men and horses in Shaanxi County reached nearly 150,000, leaving more than 10,000 people to guard Shaanxi County, then he could lead nearly 140,000 people out of the customs to fight. Although the rebels were joined by the support of Yin Ziqi's troops, they were not much larger than the officers and soldiers in terms of total numbers. What's more, the morale of the two armies is not the same, and the officers and men of the officers and men who have won successive great victories are all full of pride. Wang Sili has been haunted because he did not achieve the first merit when he attacked Shaanxi County, and this time he let this Xiao general who held his breath lead the front army, Yang Xi believes that Wang Sili will not let him down and will perform well.

After listening to Yang Xi's statement, Li Jue agreed without even thinking about it. He didn't know anything about these things, so he could only follow Yang Xi's arrangement.

Seeing that Li Jue did not object, Yang Xi was overjoyed, and after telling his arrangements in detail, he also said goodbye to Li Jue and made arrangements first. (To be continued......)
