(The year is almost over, and three shifts a day will resume on Sunday!)

－－－－－－－－－－

Yang Xi stood in front of the window of the city gate tower and watched as several thick bed crossbows shot the letters he had written to An Qingxu and Cui Qianyou into the rebel formation.

When the rebel sergeant found the letter tied to the arrow, he immediately picked it up, and then someone took the letter and ran to report it.

Seeing this situation, Yang Xi smiled and left the window, and together with Wang Sili, Pang Zhong and several other generals who had just come in to report the situation to him, stood on the city gate tower and observed the situation in the rebel array.

Ge Shuhan is still resting, this veteran is old in the end, and he has experienced the defeat of Lingbao and the subsequent hasty escape, and the continuous hard work and ice and fire have stimulated him, and he is a little unsupportable and unenergetic. Yang Xi felt that the current Ge Shuhan was not so important, and it didn't matter if he didn't appear in the city, so he told him to rest well, don't worry about everything, he would take care of everything.

On this night, the rebels only attacked and harassed with small groups of horses in the direction of various city gates, and did not send a large force to attack the city, but this does not mean that the rebels have no other actions, the rebels' actions are still not small, and Yang Xi does not dare to slack off in the slightest. Just as the sky was just shining, the rebels had already assembled the array and prepared for the siege, and the arrows fired by the bed crossbow just now fell in front of the sergeants in the front row of the array.

Yesterday it rained heavily, and today the area around Tongguan is foggy again, the fog is quite large, and the visibility is only less than 100 steps, because this is not a small fog, so that the rebels' attack on Tongguan City has been delayed for some time.

This is An Qingxu's order, he has to wait for the fog to clear before starting the siege, so that the attacking sergeant will not be able to see the situation near the forbidden area.

However, An Qingxu's arrangement once again made Yang Xi and other generals in the city puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what tricks An Qingxu was playing, and they wondered, didn't An Qingxu know that the backup sergeants of the Tang Dynasty were already coming to Tongguan in a steady stream and were arriving one after another. An Qingxu continued the start time of the attack, and the situation could only be more unfavorable to the rebels!

Did An Qingxu want to wait for An Lushan's 180,000 troops to arrive before attacking the city with all his might? No one could tell Yang Xi and the others an answer.

－－－－－－－－－－－

Yang Xi's ejaculated letter arrived in An Qingxu's hand before he was ready to give the order to attack.

When the sergeant delivered the letter shot by Yang Xi to his hand, An Qingxu was summoning his generals Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, Li Guiren, An Shouzhong and other generals to discuss the military situation and arrange a plan for today's siege.

Hearing the sergeant's report that a letter had been shot down from the city, An Qingxu was taken aback, but he immediately ordered the sergeant to present the letter.

Under the puzzled gaze of the generals, An Qingxu opened the letter written by Yang Xi.

Just a few cursory glances, An Qingxu frowned, Ji'er had anger on his face, and after slamming the case with a loud "bang", he threw the letter to the ground hatefully.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, who sent the letter to you?" Seeing that An Qingxu lost his temper, the general An Shouzhong stepped forward and asked cautiously.

Cui Qianyou, who was standing next to An Qingxu, hurriedly went up and picked up the letter and looked at it carefully.

At this glance, he was also shocked.

In the letter, Yang Xi told An Qingxu that the reinforcements in Tongguan City had arrived, and he was not afraid of any siege by the rebels, and released wild words that as long as the rebels continued to attack the city, Tongguan City would be the grave where the rebels were buried. In the letter, Yang Xi told An Qingxu and other rebel generals that as long as they judged the situation and laid down their arms and surrendered to him, he would definitely report to the court, show credit to the emperor on their behalf, and clear their guilt for them.

But if they continue to confront the Tang Dynasty, when they are defeated, it will be when they die.

Yang Xi finally told An Qingxu and his generals that no matter who they were, as long as they were against the Tang Dynasty, they would only end up in ruin, and they would end up in a different place, the puppet Emperor An Lushan, and the final outcome would be like this, he would definitely lead the army to capture Luoyang, and finally capture Fan Yang to quell the rebellion. He asked the rebel soldiers to rein in the precipice, lead his troops to surrender to the defenders of Tongguan, and strive for leniency from the imperial court.

No wonder An Qingxu was furious when he saw it, even Cui Qianyou was very angry when he saw it, Yang Xi was too arrogant.

"Who is this Yang Xi?" After pacing for two steps, An Qingxu asked the generals in a muffled voice.

Generals, you look at me, I look at you, no one can answer An Qingxu's question.

They have been on the north side of the border, and they don't know much about the affairs of the DPRK and China, Yang Xi, as the youngest son of Yang Guozhong, has not made a big name in Chang'an before, except for those officials in the court who know that Yang Xi is Yang Guozhong's youngest son, An Qingxu, Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen and others don't know who Yang Xi, the marshal who claims to be the commander of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Tongguan, is!

"Who the hell is Yang Xi?" Seeing that none of the generals could answer his question, An Qingxu roared angrily: "None of you even know who the new Marshal of Tongguan Soldiers and Horses is? What do you eat? ”

After a few days of fighting, he didn't even know what the other party's commander was or what kind of character he was, An Qingxu, who was on fire after losing his troops, was naturally very depressed, and couldn't help but roar at the generals.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, could Yang Xi be Yang Guozhong's son?" Cui Qianyou, who was the first to react, said cautiously. When marching to the Hantong Pass, his former soldiers and horses were ambushed by the Tang army and suffered certain losses, at that time the Tang army played the "Yang" banner, but the next battle was fierce, he did not pay attention to this detail, today I saw that the signature on the letter was "Yang Xi", and then thought of Yang Guozhong, the eldest son of Yang Guozhong who held important positions in the court, and the second son Yang Hao, who immediately thought of whether Yang Xi would also be Yang Guozhong's son, because there is a "day" next to the word "day" on the left side of the name.

As soon as he thought of this, he could almost immediately be sure that Yang Xi was Yang Guozhong's son, otherwise it would be impossible to have such great energy to replace Ge Shuhan in commanding the Tongguan soldiers and horses.

But they had never heard of Yang Xi's name, and Cui Qianyou could only say his own guesses, but he couldn't say other useful information.

"Yang Guozhong's son?" An Qingxu frowned again when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "Yang Guozhong, who is not an academic person, will there be such a powerful son?" No way!"

In the past few days, their men and horses have suffered a major setback in front of Tongguan City, and they have not made any progress under the loss of troops, and the only thing they can do is to occupy Hantong Guancheng, but that is the Tang army voluntarily gave up, in order to occupy an empty city promised by the Tang army, they paid such a big price, and there is nothing to be proud of.

Now that he has received Yang Xi's letter of persuasion, anyone can understand that the person who has commanded the war in the past few days is this Yang Xi, the new deputy marshal of the Tang Army, who appeared out of thin air, and this Yang Xi is definitely not a simple person.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general feels that this is just a delaying tactic of the Tang army, the purpose is just to delay the siege of our army and buy time for their follow-up reinforcements to arrive, we can't fall for their plan, we must attack the city as soon as possible, don't pay attention to this threat called Yang Xi!" Tian Qianzhen stood up and suggested.

"No!" An Qingxu categorically denied Tian Qianzhen's suggestion, "Yang Xi This is not a plan to delay the army, the reinforcements of the Tang Army in Tongguan City must have arrived, and the number will not be small, he has the confidence to threaten us!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are we going to do?" Tian Qianzhen asked.

"Hold off on the siege and wait until we get to the bottom of the situation before making the next decision!"
