(I have a bad cold, I feel uncomfortable to death, Tang Yuan wants to be a little lazy, go to bed early every day, and update it to two chapters a day for the past two days, and make up for what I owe later, please forgive me!)

Gao Jia didn't expect that this chance encounter with Yang Xi at the head of the city in the early hours of the morning would unexpectedly get him promoted.

Although Yang Xi's promised promotion made him hesitate a little, hesitating whether to accept it, after all, the other party was Yang Guozhong's son. But Yang Xi's preconceived good impression, and all the arrangements made by Yang Xi after arriving in Tongguan, he had to admire, he could serve under such a decisive and decisive person who did not have any dragging, he felt very good, and his talents were likely to be fully developed.

After only hesitating for a while, Gao Shi accepted Yang Xi's appointment on the spot and expressed his determination.

Gao Shi accepted his temporary appointment without any refusal, and Yang Xi knew that this famous person in history would initially obey him. No matter what era, if you want to do great things and achieve great things, you must have a group of capable subordinates, and your right-hand men with high loyalty, Yang Xi also knows that although he is now in the position of marshal, there are almost no people who will really obey him personally.

Whether it is Ge Shuhan, Pang Zhong, Li Fude and others, they are all temporarily obedient to him because he came with a holy order, or because of his father Yang Guozhong's cronies, if these prerequisites are gone, then these people will not take him too seriously. In the following process, he not only had to lead the defeated generals of more than 10,000 remnants to defend Tongguan City, but also to continuously collect the "little brother".

Only when there is a group of people who are loyal to themselves can they do things and do great things.

He hopes that Gao Shi will be the first "little brother" he has received, and he will be able to obey him, do things for him, and give him advice in the future.

He also believes that no matter how old a person is, he is confident that they will be impressed by his ability and means to help him achieve great things.

As soon as he crossed over, he stood at such a height with some special opportunities, so that many people looked up to the height, of course Yang Xi would not give up, and wanted to use any kind of "potential" to exert some punches.

This was not an idea that arose out of thin air, but naturally arose as he slowly grasped the situation in Tongguan.

At that moment, he immediately signaled Gao Shi not to be polite, stood up proudly, and said with a straight face: "General Gao, the last marshal has read your poems, 'The smoke and dust of the Han family are in the northeast, the Han generals are ruined and thieves, the male is self-respecting, and the Son of Heaven is very colorful', what a heroic poem, it is not an exaggeration to call it a sigh through the ages, this marshal hopes that your performance in the course of the war can also be as heroic and magnanimous as written in your poems!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Xi actually recited his self-conscious "Yan Ge Xing" on the spot, and praised him, Gao Shi was surprised and delighted.

In fact, he was full of complaints in this poem, complaining that Zhang Shouqi was proud and underestimated the enemy, so that the battle failed, which made the sergeant pay great sacrifices, but he didn't expect Yang Xi to praise his heroism and bearing with this poem, which was really a bit embarrassing.

Yang Xi can remember his poem and appreciate it greatly, which Gao Shi has never expected, and even has a feeling of confidant in his heart.

Yang Xi remembered his poems, praised his poems and praised his talent and heroism, which is of course the feeling of being a confidant and being recognized.

Gao Shi didn't know it, Yang Xi only remembered the first few lines of his famous poem, and he didn't know the back.

Seeing that Gao Shi was a little moved, Yang Xi struck while the iron was hot and said: "General Gao, General Li and General Pang made a very proper arrangement before evacuating Hantong Pass City, which confused the rebels, and the rebels will definitely not find out that our army has abandoned Hantong Pass City until dawn, and it will take them some twists and turns to enter the city, and it will take at least a few hours for the rebels to arrive here and launch an attack on Tongguan City where we are located!" The last marshal believed that the rebels would not attack the city until at least a few hours later, but he got up early and wanted to comfort the soldiers defending the city, so he brought his guards to patrol the city! Ben Shuai hopes that the rebels will attack Tongguan City later!"

Of course, Yang Xi knew that the fire that Pang Zhong set out before evacuating Hantong Pass, and the subsequent destruction measures, could be said to have almost destroyed the defense function of Hantong Pass. The suspicious tactics set up before the retreat will make the rebels scratch their heads, and those traps will also make the rebels suffer. If the rebels find out after dawn that our army has withdrawn from the Hantong Pass, it will take them a long time to make sure that our army has really withdrawn, instead of setting a trap or putting up an empty plan to lure them into falling for it, a process that will probably take several hours.

Now the time is very precious for both sides, the rebels want to capture Tongguan City as soon as possible, and seize Tongguan City before the arrival of the follow-up Tang army, so as not to fall short; The Tang Army, on the other hand, repeatedly delayed the attacks of the rebels in order to gain more time for the rebels to arrive. For the Tang army in the city of Sui Tongguan, one more hour of rest can restore some more physical strength.

After listening to what Yang Xi said, Gao Shi, who didn't fully understand what Yang Xi meant, looked confused, but he didn't ask.

Yang Xi didn't say anything more, but instructed Gao Shidao: "General Gao, you can patrol the city with the last marshal!" I'll go back and rest after patrolling the city!"

"Yes, Marshal!" After Gao Shi agreed, he also ordered his subordinates to follow him and accompany Yang Xi to patrol the city.

At this time, there were not many sergeants guarding the city, and there were not many sergeants patrolling, most of the sergeants were arranged to go to sleep and rest, and Yang Xi tried not to disturb the sleeping sergeants, but just checked the situation of the guards on the city gate towers with Gao Shi, and reminded the sergeants guarding the city, so that they could be vigilant and keep their eyes open to carefully check any possible abnormal situation.

However, after patrolling the city, Yang Xi knew that the worry that the rebels would sneak into the city after he woke up from sleep was unnecessary.

Although the weather was very good tonight, because the half moon had already set, and it was almost the darkest time before dawn, there seemed to be a light fog, and the whole world looked dark and gray, and the road outside Tongguan City was very difficult to walk, and if you did not light torches, or by the moonlight, it was impossible to walk at night, even for those who were familiar with the situation in this area.

Therefore, the sergeants at the head of the city were not too worried about the rebels sneaking over and attacking in the dark, and the guards at the head of the city only arranged a few sergeants to be on guard, taking turns patrolling and sleeping and resting. On the huge beacon tower of the twelve cities, there were only a few sergeants wandering around each city.

"Marshal, it seems that the rebels really thought that our army would give up on the Hantong Pass, and the attack before dark suffered another fiasco, so they gave up the attack at night!" After patrolling the city, Gao Shi sighed.

Yang Xi laughed silently a few times, and said with a little emotion: "Fiction is real, reality is fiction, our army desperately resists, and does not let the rebels capture Hantong Pass, whether it is Cui Qianyou or Tian Sizhen, or An Qingxu, they will not expect our army to abandon Hantong Pass City at night, and retreat to Suitong Pass City with all their might, I believe that tomorrow morning, they will enter the Hantong Pass City where no one is there, and they will fall and sigh!"

"I hope so!" Gao Shi also had a slight sigh, but he was still skeptical.

But it turns out that Yang Xi is really right!
