Yang Xi and Yang Guozhong, who had just come out of the Tang Paradise, immediately returned to the mansion.

When he returned to the mansion, he didn't bother to go up and say something to Pei Rou, so the father and son came to the study first and discussed the matter secretly.

"Xi'er, fortunately, Your Majesty didn't blame you this time, there is no danger, my father really didn't expect Li Fuguo to be so hateful," as soon as he entered the study door, Yang Guozhong complained and opened, "Li Fuguo dares to fight for power with you like this, and my father must find a way to change him back no matter what." You also have to send someone to monitor him at all times, and if you have any handle, immediately report it to your father, and your father will make suggestions in front of Your Majesty, and change the prison army, and your father has already found a suitable candidate for the prison army!"

"Father, the child knows! The child is also worried that His Majesty will listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's advice and remove me from the post of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses," Yang Xi sighed, and immediately suggested to Yang Guozhong, "Father, since it's okay, then tomorrow the child will be ready to return to Tongguan." The special training team is now out of the control of the child and training alone, and the child is not very relieved. After the prince came to Tongguan, the generals had other thoughts, and the children were not worried about the situation in Tongguan, for fear that there would be changes and they needed to go back as soon as possible. Moreover, the emperor has plans to counterattack the rebels, and the child must prepare early, and as soon as he has the opportunity, he will immediately raise troops to attack, and he must also go back and prepare for his life!"

"That's right," Yang Guozhong agreed to Yang Xi's request, "You can rest in the house today, and then enter the palace early tomorrow morning to discuss other matters with Your Majesty, and then go back to Tongguan in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, Father!"

Yang Guozhong paced two steps in the room with his back on his back, and then said as if talking to himself: "Why does the prince want to do this this time? Go to Tongguan in person to win over people. Doesn't he feel too anxious to do this? What is he going to do? ”

"Father, what did you say?" Yang Xi was a little surprised.

Yang Guozhong stopped, looked at Yang Xi twice, smiled, and shook his head again, "Xi'er, let's talk about this later, now you still focus on Tongguan affairs, and my father will tell you about Chang'an later." Don't worry, your father will carry big things, you just need to lead the army in front. Strive to win a few more battles, then Daddy will be better off in Chang'an!"

"Yes, father, the child understands!" Yang Xi didn't ask any more questions after agreeing, the father and son hid in the study and chatted about some things, most of them were about the situation of the generals in Tongguan, and finally Pei Rou sent someone to urge, and the two stopped talking.

Yang Xi hasn't come back for several months, and he has lost weight, Pei Rou is very sad, hugging Yang Xi and crying for a long time, under the persuasion of Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi, it was not easy to stop.

After dinner, Pei Rou pulled Yang Xi to ask for a long time, until Yang Guozhong reminded Yang Xi that he needed to rest early and go back to Tongguan tomorrow, Pei Rou let Yang Xi go and let him go back to sleep.

I haven't rested well for a few days, Yang Xi is very tired, and after returning to his small courtyard, he is only full of tears, and he is very happy that he is back, and Ping'er, who can't help crying happily, laughs a few words, and is ready to sleep.

Ping'er was a little disappointed, regretting that Yang Xi didn't accompany her to say a few words, but she was also very distressed, and after serving Yang Xi to freshen up, she gently pinched Yang Xi's body to eliminate his fatigue.

In Ping'er's gentle and careful pinching, Yang Xi fell asleep peacefully and slept until dawn.

After getting up, also under Ping'er's careful service, Yang Xi dressed up and said goodbye to the reluctant little girl, and then said goodbye to her mother Pei Rou, so she followed her father Yang Guozhong and went to the Tang Furong Garden to discuss with Emperor Li Longji.

After the discussion, Yang Xi will return to Chang'an directly and will not return home.

Yang Guozhong was more anxious than Yang Xi about the situation in Tongguan, because the prince Li Heng went to Tongguan to inspect and wooed the generals, and the generals' minds changed, Yang Guozhong hoped that Yang Xi would go back as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation, so as not to change. Yang Guozhong also knew that the emperor had the idea of taking the initiative to attack after listening to Yang Xi's suggestion, and wanted to take advantage of the rebels' plans to retreat to Luoyang and even Fanyang, and when the army's morale was fluctuating, he would take back Shaanxi County.

Shaanxi County was recaptured, and the gateway out of Tongguan was also in the hands of our army, as long as there was an opportunity, we could wave our army to the east, recover Luoyang or go north to attack Fanyang. If Shaanxi County is in the hands of the rebels, Tongguan is the front line, which can only be defended but not attacked, let alone attack Luoyang and go north. Li Longji understands this, Yang Guozhong knows it, and Yang Xi knows it.

Otherwise, Yang Xi would not have stabilized in Tongguan, and the additional men and horses arrived, and after training for a period of time, he proposed to the imperial court to recover Shaanxi County.

Of course, Yang Xi will not lead all the horses in Tongguan to attack like Ge Shuhan, and cut off his own back road.

Before the defeat of Lingbao's army, under the persecution of the imperial court, Ge Shuhan was forced to lead the army out of the city to fight, in fact, Yang Xi never understood why Ge Shuhan took most of the 200,000 horses in Tongguan and poured out. If 50,000 or more men and horses were left to defend the city, Ge Shuhan would lead the rest of the men and horses out of the pass to fight, even if he was defeated, he would not have such a passive situation.

The imperial court ordered Ge Shuhan to lead the army to battle, and did not ask him to lead all his men out of the pass!

"Shiro, do you think the time is ripe for the main attack?" As soon as we met today, Li Longji asked about this issue.

Yang Xi shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's not mature now. But as long as we ensure that Tongguan is worry-free, we can be ready to take the initiative to attack, and of course we must leave a force to guard Tongguan. If there is news of a great victory in the north, the rebels send some of the men and horses of Shaanxi County to reinforcements, or other factors cause the Shaanxi County army to be unstable, such as the rebels lack food, lack of other supplies, and the grain and grass are destroyed, then we can take advantage of the situation to attack, take him by surprise, and take Shaanxi County back! Whether you can take the initiative depends on whether you have a chance!"

This time, Yang Xi ordered Li Han and Chen Yuan to lead a special team to the area of Shaanxi County for training, and he also had a special instruction to ask Li Han and Chen Yuan to judge the situation and decide how to act. If there is a chance to infiltrate the city of Shaanxi County, then he does not want to find a way to give chaos to the rebels, assassinate Cui Qianyou or burn the grain and grass of the rebels, if the special training team succeeds, then he can rush forward and seize Shaanxi County.

"Well, that's right!" After thinking about it, Li Longji agreed with Yang Xi's suggestion, looked at Yang Guozhong, and then at Yang Xi, and said: "Shiro, I have approved your suggestion, after you return to Tongguan, you should hurry up and train your men and horses, and be ready to take the initiative." Now that the rebels are unstable, An Lushan has ordered An Qingxu to retreat to Luoyang, he himself is gathering men and horses, planning to retreat to Fanyang, if there is a change in Shaanxi County, you can lead the army to attack, take the rebels by surprise, and take the opportunity to recapture Shaanxi County!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands!" Li Longji gave him such a clear answer, and Yang Xi felt proud in his heart.

If commanding the Tongguan defensive battle made his reputation established, then as long as he won the next battle, his reputation would become louder and louder.

Perhaps, he will also squeeze into the ranks of famous generals in history. Because of this, Yang Xi's heart is full of pride!

Next, Yang Xi also discussed the current situation carefully with Li Longji, Yang Guozhong, and Wei Jiesu, Wei Fangjin, Xiao Hua and other important ministers of the court who were summoned later.

However, no one expected that the opportunity for a counterattack would come not long after Yang Xi returned to Tongguan.
