Chapter 3: There is no place to bury the dead

Yang Guozhong walked into Yang Xi's room surrounded by several entourage.

"The boy has seen his father!" Because there are many memories of his predecessor, after seeing Yang Guozhong come in, Yang Xi did not feel a little strange, and naturally stepped forward to greet him. Yang Guozhong was able to come back at this time and come to see him, of course he was very happy.

Many things can be said directly to Yang Guozhong, and he is wondering how to say it without making Yang Guozhong feel too unusual.

Growing up in the south, he used to call "Dad" in his later life, and felt that Dad was the most intimate title, compared to his father, he felt that he had a lot of life, and he didn't have that special feeling of family affection, and he didn't feel very unnatural to call Yang Guozhong his father.

Of course, he is "recognizing the thief as his father", but there is no way to do it, who told him to cross over to Yang Guozhong's son!

"Xi'er, you finally woke up, I don't know how happy you are for your father!" Yang Guozhong, who hurriedly entered the house, saw that Yang Xi had woken up, and got up and stood up to salute him, not knowing how happy he was.

The youngest son, who was in a coma for two days after being injured in an accident, although the imperial doctor in the palace said that there would be no worries about his life, but Yang Guozhong, who was busy with court affairs, was still very worried. After getting up this morning, I saw that Yang Xi showed signs of waking up, and I wanted to stay with him all the time, waiting for Yang Xi to wake up, but the palace came to summon him, and the emperor asked him to enter the palace quickly, and he didn't dare to delay, so he went to the palace immediately. After the court discussed the matter and the arrangement stopped, he went back to the house, and after someone reported that Yang Xi had woken up, he immediately came to visit.

Four days ago, in response to his efforts, the imperial court has ordered Ge Shuhan to dump all the troops of Tongguan to attack, early this morning there was news that after Ge Shuhan and the thief army contacted, the thief army was not defeated, and Ge Shuhan led the army to pursue. Yang Guozhong, who felt that this move could achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone, was a little happy in his heart, and then heard that Yang Xi woke up again, and he didn't know how happy he was, so his words revealed extra love!

"Thanks to my father's care, the child is fine, I didn't wake up a few days ago but because of a heavy blow to the head, I haven't been seriously hurt, and I'm fine when I wake up, I feel better than before I fell asleep, and even some things I didn't understand before are clear now!" Yang Xi and Yang Guozhong maintained a very respectful demeanor when they spoke.

In the end, Yang Guozhong's aura is very strong, although he shows a very caring look when facing Yang Xi, Yang Xi still feels a little oppressed, but he has a good mentality and does not have any cramped performance.

Some people in this era, including Gao Lishi, Yang Guozhong and others, because history records that they are all figures who play with power and bring disaster to the country and the people, Yang Xi is disgusted from the bottom of his heart, but because of his tempering and experience in later generations, he will not show any disgust for these people, knowing that in ancient times, there was dignity and inferiority, and the young and the young were orderly, and he would give them enough respect. What's more, Yang Guozhong is still the father of his body!

Yang Guozhong should have been very handsome when he was young, but now that he is older, he also makes people look very comfortable and personable, and he does not have the annoying taste of the traitors played in movies and TV, which also makes Yang Xi's "uncomfortable" feel less.

Yang Xi couldn't help but think of the famous Yang family woman, Yang Guozhong's sister of the same clan, and Yang Yuhuan, who was known as one of the "four beauties" in ancient times by later generations, and didn't know how beautiful this legendary beauty was.

It seems that the genetics of Yang's appearance are very good, and the heirs born are either beautiful women or handsome guys, and he has also been stained.

I don't know what the reason is, after seeing Yang Guozhong, Yang Xi's original anxiety and nervousness in his heart were gone, and he didn't urgently explain to Yang Guozhong what he wanted to say about how to defend Tongguan. Of course, he didn't know that this was due to the remnants of the original body's memories and temperament!

Facing the gaze of many subordinates around him, Yang Guozhong also put away the love that was unconsciously revealed, replaced it with a serious expression, and instructed Yang Xi: "Xi'er, it's okay if you're okay, let your father worry less, you just woke up, you have to rest more, don't stand, when you are rested, go see your mother!" There is still a lot to attend to as a Father, and I will come to see you when I have time!"

Yang Guozhong's wife, that is, Yang Xi's biological mother Pei Rou, suffered from a cold a few days ago and has not yet recovered, and because she heard that Yang Xi was injured and fell into a coma, she continued to accompany Yang Xi with her son, and finally she was overworked and fell into a coma. However, Pei Rou was only in a coma due to sadness and overwork, and she had already woken up after lying down for a day, but she couldn't get up, otherwise she would have come to visit Yang Xi a long time ago!

"Respect my father's commands!" Yang Xi gave another salute, but without waiting for Yang Guozhong to turn around, he said eagerly: "It's just that father, the child has a little urgent idea to tell his father, I hope my father can listen to me a few words!"

"Oh?!" Yang Guozhong, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped and looked at Yang Xi suspiciously: "Xi'er, what do you want to say?" ”

Yang Xi looked at Yang Guozhong's side, Yang Guozhong understood, and immediately asked all the miscellaneous people in the house to retreat.

"Now it's just our father and son, Xi'er, what's the matter, please just tell your father!"

Seeing that Yang Guozhong did not refuse his request, Yang Xi was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly said: "Father, the child heard some things about the current situation a few days ago, and after sobering up this morning, he was thinking about this matter and had some ideas, I want to talk to my father, I hope my father can listen to the child!"

"What about the current situation?" Hearing Yang Xi say this, Yang Guozhong's brows tightened, and he looked at Yang Xi puzzled, "Xi'er, why are you interested in the current situation?" What insight do you have to say to the Father? Come, let's sit down and talk!"

Yang Guozhong has four sons, namely Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan, Yang Xiao, and Yang Xi, all of whom are born to his wife Pei Rou.

Yang Xuan was appointed as the servant of the Imperial Servant and the Household Servant, Yang Xuan of Princess Shang Wanchun was appointed as Hongluqing, Yang Xiao was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Labor, and only the seventeen-year-old Yang Xi did not have a real official and received an idle post for the Emperor. Yang Guozhong would discuss court affairs with his sons, but mainly with Yang Xuan and Yang Yan, who were in important positions, and never discussed court affairs with Yang Xi, the youngest son. Among the four sons, Yang Guozhong thinks that Yang Xi is the most intelligent, and he is also the best in terms of talent and martial arts, but this son is too young, and he is overly favored by his wife Pei Rou, and often does some lawless things, which is a headache. Yang Guozhong has always felt that his youngest son has not yet reached the time when he can let him do things, and he has never discussed the affairs of the court with him, and today I was very surprised to hear Yang Xi say this very solemnly. But because I'm in a good mood, I still want to hear what Yang Xi will say!

"Father, is the imperial court ready to order Ge Shuhan to lead the army out of Tongguan to fight the rebels?" Because Yang Guozhong is his father, it is said that he still loves him very much, Yang Xi did not hesitate, and asked directly!

Yang Guozhong frowned a little unhappily when he heard Yang Xi ask this question: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" Don't you approve of this method, and when the news of the great victory in the north came, Ling Ge Shuhan led his army into battle, and defeated the enemy while his foothold was not stable? ”

The imperial court had already ordered Ge Shuhan to go out of the customs to fight two days ago, but Yang Guozhong did not want to tell his son about it at this time.

"Father, exactly!" Yang Xi looked at Yang Guozhong without evading, and said with a firm look that Yang Guozhong had never seen: "According to what the child saw, ordering the officers and soldiers to give up the natural danger of Tongguan and go out of the city to fight is really a strategy for the soldiers!" Don't do that!"

"Tell me why you think so!" Yang Guozhong's face became ugly, and he was very angry in his heart. If Yang Xi hadn't just recovered from his injury, he would have scolded him sharply, or brushed his sleeves away!

"Father, the rebels led by the thieves are all good at fighting border troops, fighting all year round, very experienced in combat, especially good at field warfare, infantry and cavalry coordinated operations, and this kind of cooperative combat ability can not be formed in a day or two. In the face of such an elite team, even if hundreds of thousands of recruits are gathered to fight against them, they will be defeated in a mess! Feng Changqing, a warlike general, has been repeatedly defeated, and he did not dare to attack after joining forces with Gao Xianzhi, but stationed troops in Tongguan, wanting to use the danger of Tongguan to block the enemy, and the child knew that this was only the most effective means of resisting the enemy as a last resort. In the field battle, the officers and troops defending Tongguan are not the opponents of the rebels at all!" Seeing the displeased look on Yang Guozhong's face, Yang Xi hurriedly added, "If the town army in Tongguan is a border army that is good at fighting, it can go out of the city and fight the rebels to the death!"

Yang Guozhong was silent, but he was also thinking about what his son said. Of course, the weight of the son's words is different from the words of the people next to him!

Seeing that Yang Guozhong did not reprimand him explicitly, Yang Xi's courage also increased, and he said again: "Presumably my father also knows that the banner of the thief army this time is aimed at you, and the thief wants to be 'Qingjun's side', and the person he wants to get rid of the most is you!" You have always been at odds with An Lushan, and you have a deep hatred, if the rebels come to Chang'an, then father you are the first person the rebels will eliminate! There is also a possibility, if the rebels threaten, if the court orders the execution of their father, they will retreat, then father, what do you think the emperor will do? What will the other ministers say? ”

Yang Xi's words made the muscles on Yang Guozhong's face couldn't help jumping, and his face was a little distorted!

Seeing that Yang Guozhong reacted to this, Yang Xi, who was relieved in his heart, continued: "Therefore, the child thinks that what his father needs to do now is to try his best to keep the rebels out of Tongguan. Tongguan is the last gateway of Chang'an, if Tongguan is lost, Chang'an will not be guaranteed, if Tongguan is still in the hands of the official army, then according to Tongguan natural danger and guard, Chang'an is worry-free. According to the child's view, the father should now try his best to mobilize all his forces to defend Tongguan, instead of going out to fight! Otherwise, Chang'an is in danger, my father's life is also in danger, and our family will die without a place to be buried! Father, for the sake of our family's life, you must be thoughtful and do everything possible to hold Tongguan and stop the rebels outside Tongguan City!"

After Yang Xi finished speaking, his shining eyes stared straight at Yang Guozhong, waiting for his Yang Guozhong's reaction! He knew that the most effective way to impress Yang Guozhong was to use the future and life of Yang Guozhong and their family as bargaining chips, so that he could move Yang Guozhong, and from other aspects, from the perspective of the country's national righteousness, it would be impossible for his "father" to change his mind.

It's just that Yang Guozhong still didn't say anything, just looked at him with straight eyes.
