Chapter 32 It's time to come
(Thanks to abccd5432 book friends for their rewards!!)
After looking at the natural dangerous terrain of Hantongguan City and Twelve Liancheng and Jinduoduo, Yang Xi really couldn't understand why Geshuhan abandoned these places after escaping back to Tongguan City?
Even though the corpses are piled up in the ban ditch, the passes of the Twelve Confessions on the west side of the ban ditch can still effectively kill and injure the incoming rebels.
In the case of insufficient troops, it is a thing of the past to give up the already dilapidated Hantongguan City, but the Twelve Liancheng should not be given up.
In the past six months, the rebels have carried out continuous attacks on Hantongguan City, resulting in very serious damage to Hantongguan City. It can be described as riddled with holes. In the case of continuous war, it cannot carry out large-scale repairs, resulting in a significant decline in its defense ability and is easily captured by the rebels. With sufficient troops, Hantongguan City can be used for defense. It is understandable that it is insufficient to give up.
But the Twelve Liancheng, which is a barrier to the Sui Tongguan City, should not give up no matter what!
Could it be that this old handsome guy was scared out of fear?
After Yang Xi's proposal was expressed, Ge Shu Han still had a future answer. Li Chengguang, who was on the side, first responded, "Yang Bingma and Marshal Ge Shu, I think what Yang Bingma said is very reasonable. No matter how many guards there are in Tongguan City, the Twelve Cities should not give up, and soldiers must be sent to guard!" This is also the point that Li Chengguang has always insisted on.
Gao Shi also stood up immediately and expressed his point of view: "Marson, the last general thinks what Yang Bingma Envoy said is very reasonable. Although the bodies in the corpse in the ban ditch have not been completely removed, the role of the ban ditch and the 12th Liancheng has been restored. Soldiers should be sent to guard it. The rebels attacked the city. The 12th Liancheng can effectively restrain the rebels and to a certain extent block the rebels' attack on Tongguan City!"
Although Wang Sili and other generals did not stand up and say it clearly, their expressions also showed a similar meaning, that is, they agreed with what Yang Xi said and sent soldiers to guard the Twelve Liancheng.
Ge Shuhan just hesitated for a moment and nodded immediately to agree: "I also agree with Yang's envoy's suggestion, so I will send troops to guard the 12th company city, each city will be stationed with 120 soldiers, led by a captain!" As he said that, he looked directly at Gao Shi standing behind Yang Xi, and ordered: "General Gao, you will arrange which city to send who will lead the army!"
"Yes, Marshal, Yang's envoy, the last general obeys the order!" Gao Shi responded loudly and left immediately, and arranged for the re-submission of soldiers to guard the Twelve Liancheng.
Seeing that all the generals agreed with his proposal, Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief!
However, he was also regretting that his decision to let Geshuhan come to guard the South Gate was wrong, and he should have led the army and guarded himself.
After all, Ge Shuhan is old and often he will be confused.
Fortunately, there was an afternoon patrol operation, otherwise such an important place in Twelve Liancheng would have been abandoned, which would be a pity! He continued to wonder why Ge Shuhan did not realize the role of Twelve Liancheng at this time, and did not send troops to defend, and other generals did not mention this?
He wouldn't be the only one who stayed awake, and the other generals were scared and confused, right? Yang Xi himself was confused!
But he should not question Geshuhan and other generals about this matter, and continue to patrol the city!
Fortunately, except for the major changes in the defense situation in the South Gate, the directions of other cities have basically remained unchanged.
After the patrol, just as the generals were about to disperse and returned to their respective posts to continue to stand by, a soldier rushed to report that the military eunuch Bian Lingcheng had escaped! When the military eunuch Bian Lingcheng appeared, all the generals were a little surprised, and so did Geshuhan!
The eunuchs in the military are not ordinary people. At least since the imperial court implemented the system of eunuchs as military supervisors in the army, the eunuchs in the military supervisors have overwhelmed the generals, only the marshals, various types of military commanders and other generals. Moreover, because of the intimate relationship between the eunuchs in the military supervisors and the emperor, their voices are often even greater than those of the marshals or military commanders. At a specific time, they can even dominate the fate of the entire army and the fate of the marshals and military commanders. Just like Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, the two generals in command of the military commanders, the repeated memorials of Bian Lingcheng and Yang Guozhong, lost their lives.
For generals at all levels of military commanders, the eunuchs in the military supervising are all a mountain that is pressed on their hearts and a sharp sword hanging on their heads. They are a very fearful person, especially after the defeat, they will be even more afraid of the military supervising person.
A memorial from the eunuchs in the military supervisor may determine their future and destiny, even life and death.
It can be said that the eunuchs in the army are the most feared, unpopular, and hateful people in the entire army, especially those like Bian Lingcheng who can reach the destiny, gain the trust of the emperor, and killed the two generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi. Many people want to kill them quickly. Almost everyone hopes that this person will die in the chaos when Lingbao was defeated, but they do not expect that they will appear in a gloomy place now.
No one of the people present knew where Bian Lingcheng emerged.
If Bian Lingcheng had just escaped from the chaos, he should have appeared from front of Tongguan. But now Bian Lingcheng did not appear from the east, but entered Tongguan City from the west gate! How could this person appear from the west gate of Tongguan? This is the doubt in everyone present.
Of course, Yang Xi hated this so-called father's confidant. If this person hadn't repeatedly told the words, the two generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi might not have died. If these two generals were not dead, the defeat of Tongguan might not have happened!
When he heard Bian Lingcheng appear, he frowned and shouted in anger that he took the person to him.
Unlike Geshuhan and other generals, he had no fear of Lian Lingcheng or any scruples.
When hearing Bian Lingcheng's report to Tongguan, many generals' eyes fell on Geshuhan and Yang Xi, the two highest military commanders of Tongguan City. They saw different reactions on Geshuhan and Yang Xi's faces.
Geshuhan looked a little nervous and fearful; while Yang Xi looked contemptuous and indifferent. Seeing the two generals’ expressions changing, many generals felt curious and wanted to see how Yang Xi would treat each other after Bian Lingcheng arrived!
Of course, no one knew that after hearing Bian Lingcheng, who also came to Tongguan City, Yang Xi immediately made a decision, and a very decisive thought suddenly became in his heart. He wanted to use this person to strengthen his power for himself!
"Bring Bian Lingcheng here!" A faint voice came out of Yang Xi's mouth. No one could feel what Yang Xi's current mentality was, but his voice still surprised many people.
But Yang Xi ignored the gaze of the generals and just stood proudly at the top of the South Gate, waiting for Bian Lingcheng's arrival.
Soon, Bian Lingcheng appeared in front of Yang Xi under the leadership of several soldiers.
This is a middle-aged eunuch who is about forty years old. Her skin should have been very white, but because she was exposed to the sun and after the baptism of the war, her face turned black and red, and only the flesh covered by her clothes was white.
The black and red face, a embarrassed expression, and a mud and blood stain, made people feel very funny.
Seeing Bian Lingcheng's appearance, Yang Xi's two thick eyebrows frowned even tighter.
Although he returned in a mess, Bian Lingcheng's majesty was still there. Many generals came forward to greet him willingly or reluctantly, even Ge Shuhan hugged his fists and said hello.
Only Yang Xi stood proudly, looking at Bian Lingcheng, who was supported by several personal soldiers with a cold look, and stumbled into front of the crowd.
He had already figured out why Bian Lingcheng came from the direction of Ximen, and there was a hint of surprise in his heart.
It was really time for this eunuch to come, and he gave him a big gift!
