Chapter 9 Disputes in Xingqing Palace
(Every time you upload, the protagonist's name will automatically become Yang Xi. It takes many changes to be displayed correctly once, which makes people speechless! What's wrong with Qidian???)
On the way to Xingqing Palace, Yang Xi had already firmly decided to ask for his life to lead the army to rescue Tongguan!
Since God allowed him to travel to the Tang Dynasty at this time, he must have "sented him" to save the Tang Dynasty from danger; since he had such a mission, he would stand up unshirkable and ask for his mission to lead his army to rescue Tongguan!
He led troops in later generations, participated in many practical exercises, commanded many practical actions, and killed people! Although the ancient sergeant operation methods were very different from those in later generations, he graduated from the Military Academy and joined the army. He also studied the tactics of cold weapons in ancient times when he was in military academy. He was not unfamiliar with the methods of ancient warfare and had rich practical experience. If he could lead a team of elite troops, he was confident that he could have a way to change the ending of Tongguan being occupied by rebels!
The book "Anshi Rebellion" I read before traveling through time taught him many ways to defend the enemy and block the rebels under Tongguan City, but I don't know whether it is useful or not. But Yang Xi knew that things were already like this, and the most important thing to do was to lead the army to rescue Tongguan as soon as possible!
If it is too late, then any plan made for Tongguan defense will become empty and vain!
More importantly, the military situation is now critical and Tongguan is in the midst of anger. If it were not for someone like him who came out of nowhere to be hit, history would still develop as before. Tongguan was soon lost. Then Emperor Li Longji fled, Chang'an was occupied by rebels. When the emperor fled to Mawei Slope, famous historical figures such as Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan were killed in the chaos. The Tang Dynasty fell into a long civil strife, and the prosperity ended.
Maybe he could avoid death with his time traveler's ability to predict the future and special skills, but that would be too frustrating and too embarrassing!
The bloodiness left in his body made him unable to bear the tragic fate that he had become, and he did not want the era he was in to fall into further turmoil, because the many concerns that arise under this situation made Yang Xi stand up and ask for his life without much hesitation.
The shocked Yang Guozhong finally understood, glared at Yang Xi fiercely, and roared in a low voice: "Xi'er, how can you do this? Why don't you shut up!" Yang Guozhong hoped that Yang Xi would just say impulse, and quickly scolded him to stop saying such ridiculous words and let the emperor laugh at them.
A seventeen-year-old man has never joined the army and wants to lead the army to rescue Tongguan for emergency treatment. Do you think it's just a joke?
Yang Guozhong regretted taking Yang Xi into the palace!
But Yang Xi was full of confidence and replied in a low voice to Yang Guozhong: "Father, don't worry. If you really ask your child to lead a team of troops to rescue Tongguan, you are confident that you can use Tongguan's natural dangers to defend the city pass, block the rebels outside Tongguan City, and have a long face for your father!"
Yang Guozhong said something else, but at this time Li Longji spoke: "Guozhong, it turns out that you and Silang have already made a decision. I must have discussed a good strategy to defend the enemy. Tell me quickly!"
Yang Xi pleaded before Yang Guozhong. Although Yang Guozhong's face became ugly, he did not express anything when he was in the palace. Li Longji further believed that this was something that Yang Guozhong and his son had agreed to before entering the palace. He guessed that Yang Guozhong must be worried that Ge Shuhan would be blamed for his defeat, so he decided to act in the palace and acted in the palace! Of course, there are bargaining chips. The father and son must have considered a way to fight the enemy. Li Longji, who did not want to punish Yang Guozhong at this time, wanted to hear what the father and son had considered.
"Your Majesty! I am guilty, please punish me!" Yang Guozhong sighed, knelt on the ground again, preparing to explain the reason, and acted as the palace scolding Yang Xi for his nonsense. But when he was kneeling down and saluting, Yang Xi took a step forward and helped him up.
In Yang Guozhong's surprise and confusion, Yang Xi, who helped him up, stood up and raised her head to Li Longji, who showed a surprise look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, although Ge Shuhan was defeated, he still led nearly 10,000 people to escape back to Tongguan and defended him. He must set up roadblocks along the way to delay the speed of the rebels' progress! Although the Anthill Army won, it also paid a considerable price. The battlefield needs to be cleaned. The remnants of the official army must be cleaned. If you want to fight continuously and attack Tongguan, it is very difficult. It is unlikely that you will follow the tail and chase immediately. What you need to do most at this time is to immediately send generals to lead soldiers to rescue Tongguan to ensure that Tongguan is not lost! Tongguan is not lost, and Chang'an will be worry-free!"
When Yang Xi began to tell the story, many important ministers including Wei Jiesu, General Longwu, Chen Xuanli, Minister of the Military Affairs Department, Xiao Hua, Minister of the Military Affairs Department, Fang Guan, Minister of the Xian Affairs Department, Zhang Ye, Minister of the Grandpa, and Wei Fangjin, Prince of Jingzhao, and many other important ministers came to the hall one after another.
They already knew the news of the defeat in Tongguan and were panicking! When they entered the palace, they were even more surprised when they saw Yang Xi making a generous speech in front of the emperor. However, what Yang Xi said immediately attracted them. After they bowed to Li Longji, they all stood aside and listened to Yang Xi's statement.
Based on the remaining memories of his predecessor, Yang Xi recognized Wei Jiansu, Chen Xuanli and other important officials in the court, as well as Yang Guozhong's confidant Wei Fangjin and others, but he did not know the others.
But he was passionate about what he was talking about, and saw that the old man Li Longji was very interested in what he said. He ignored the arrival of so many people and continued to speak generously: "Your Majesty, the road ahead of Tongguan Pass is difficult to move. The baggage, felt carts, and remains of soldiers who died when Geshuhan left the pass have blocked the road. The thieves' army can only move after removing these obstacles! It will take at least one day or one night, that is, even if the thieves are moving at the fastest speed, they will have to arrive at the city of Tongguan tomorrow morning or afternoon!"
"If the court puts all its efforts into rescue, and before the bandit army breaks through Tongguan City, sending a large army to rescue Tongguan and strengthening the defense of Tongguan, the bandit army will definitely not be advisable! If he is hesitant, the military situation will be delayed. Therefore, please make a quick decision and send a large army to rescue Tongguan! Please ask your Majesty to be kind to me to lead the army to rescue Tongguan. If the rescue is not effective and cannot stop the enemy, I am willing to wait for Your Majesty's punishment! If the army is defeated, the little minister will sacrifice his country!"
As he said that, he knelt on one knee with a big gift, and then asked again!
Yang Xi's actions and his proud expression when he asked for help not only shocked Li Longji and Yang Guozhong. Even if Wei Jiansu and Wei Fangjin were Yang Guozhong's confidants, and Chen Xuanli, who was very prejudiced to Yang Guozhong, Xiao Hua couldn't help but look at him!
The words that Yang Xi said were so masculine and heroic, which was completely different from the sons of Yang Guozhong and Yang Guozhong in their impression.
There have been so many people in the palace, and Yang Guozhong has no choice but to say anything. He cannot scold Yang Xi now. If he scolds Yang Xi, he will definitely be considered by the emperor and other ministers to be afraid of death. His son will stop him when he asks the emperor to go to war. It is possible that the palace asks the emperor to punish him. But he knows the nature of his children, how can such a young man be able to lead the army? It is no different to dreams of Yang Xi to resolve the difficulties of Tongguan!
How could his son become like this? He dared to be the palace and ask for his orders? Yang Guozhong was very puzzled and extremely shocked!
The complex mood made him stand blankly, not knowing what to say, his previous cleverness and ability to change completely disappeared!
The eyes of the people in the hall kept wandering on Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi. Seeing that Yang Guozhong had not responded for the time being, many people immediately thought that this was caused by Yang Guozhong's instructions. Today, they were acting in front of the emperor, and someone immediately stood up to express their opinions.
Wei Jiansu first came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Yang Silang's saying that sending a large army to rescue Tongguan is the only way to save Tongguan now! However, it should not be led by Yang Silang. Your Majesty should send other generals who are good at fighting and set off immediately, otherwise Tongguan will be in danger!"
Wei Fangjin also immediately stood up and expressed his views similar to Wei Jiansu. They saw Yang Guozhong's embarrassment and knew that this powerful emperor favorite was inconvenient to refute what his son said at this time, so they could only do it for him!
Both of them understood what happened today as Yang Guozhong was playing a tough trick with his son!
Seeing that a few people guessed his thoughts and said something he couldn't say, Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say when General Chen Xuanli of Longwu stood up and expressed a different opinion from the previous ones: "Your Majesty, I fully agree with what Yang Family Silang said, and the army should be sent to rescue Tongguan! Now all the generals in the court are leading troops abroad, and there are no ones who can effectively control the generals of Tongguan. I feel that they do not have this ability! Yang Xianggong has the highest prestige in the court. If Yang Jiasilang leads the army to rescue, with your majesty's edict and Yang Xianggong's prestige, Yang Jiasilang will definitely be able to control the troops and block the rebels under the city of Tongguan!"
Of course, Chen Xuanli's mockery of Yang Guozhong could hear it, and everyone else could hear it, but no one immediately stood up to refute it. Because it was an extraordinary period, many people, including Wei Jiansu and others, did not know the emperor's current attitude and did not dare to express their opinions randomly. Even those who wanted to oppose Chen Xuanli's words were thinking about what to say!
At this time, Xiao Hua, the Minister of the Military Affairs Department, stood up and said "A generous speech": "Your Majesty, I feel that Yang Xianggong has the most important responsibility for the defeat of Lingbao! Marshal Geshu repeatedly requested that he could not go out of seclusion to fight, but could only defend according to Tongguan, otherwise he would be defeated! Mr. Yang repeatedly asked Marshal Geshu to lead his army out of seclusion to fight. Now Marshal Geshu has returned with great defeat. I feel that not only should he punish the defeated Marshal Geshu, but Mr. Yang insisted on his own initiative and forced His Majesty to agree to let Brother Geshu go.
Shu Han's serious crimes in the battle will also be punished! But now is an extraordinary moment. I believe that Your Majesty will not agree to punish Mr. Yang at this time! Mr. Yang must also know that he has a serious crime, so he wants his son to lead his army to save the defeat to atone for his sins! I also agree that Yang Family Silang leads the army to rescue Tongguan. If Yang Family Silang can successfully block the thief army under the city of Tongguan, then part of the crime can be exempted from? Please also ask Your Majesty to agree to let Yang Family Silang lead his army to rescue Tongguan!"
