(Thanks for s, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better and faster! G, abccd5432 book friends’ reward!)

In Chang'an, Xingqing Palace and Xingqing Hall, Emperor Li Longji was discussing matters with Prime Minister Yang Guozhong.

Yang Xi led his army to rescue Tongguan first. Although Yang Guozhong, who agreed to his son's adventure, had the idea of ​​a hero cutting off his arm and saving himself, Yang Xi was his most precious son after all, and he was emotionally unwilling to give up and ignore it. Just after Yang Xi led his army to leave Tongguan, he personally arranged the matter and used all the power he could use to recruit subsequent rescue personnel, and repeatedly urged General Zuo Longwu Chen Xuanli to set off as soon as possible.

However, the follow-up personnel are not like Li Fude, Liu Guangting and others who are already preparing to stop the three thousand soldiers who are being taken in case of unexpected accidents. Tens of thousands of troops are not so easy to recruit and stop the troops, and they can set off soon!

Although the leading general was Chen Xuanli, Chen Xuanli could not lead so many troops himself. He must have commanding generals of other levels under his command. These generals also need to temporarily recruit horses, weapons, food and grass needed by tens of thousands of people. In addition, Chen Xuanli was a little intentional about doing it with Yang Guozhong, and was not dedicated to doing things wholeheartedly, so his speed was far from comparable to Yang Xi's rapid succession of leading the army to aid.

But Chen Xuanli didn't dare to delay intentionally, but just did everything according to the rules.

Yang Guozhong was naturally very anxious and wanted to ask Chen Xuanli to lead his army to set off immediately. He also personally supervised Chen Xuanli several times and ordered Chen Xuanli to increase the speed before going to the palace to find Li Longji, asking the emperor to order him a few more times.

Chen Xuanli, the prime minister, dared not disobey the orders of the prime minister, but he could be disobeyed by the emperor. However, Chen Xuanli did not dare to delay any delays in the orders of the emperor. Yang Guozhong knew this well.

Because he was worried about everything, Yang Guozhong naturally gave up his plan to return home and stayed in the palace all the time, and asked his other three sons, Yang Xuan, Yang Bing and Yang Xiao, to stay by his side. If there is any important thing for them to do in person.

When the father and son fight in battle, no outsider can trust his family. This is something that Yang Guozhong firmly believes in.

All the things that needed to be ordered were ordered. One afternoon and another night passed. The 50,000 troops that Chen Xuanli wanted to take to Tongguan were almost ready to stop working. The generals at all levels were equipped with enough. The forward troops had already set off first and headed towards Tongguan under the leadership of Dou Hua, another confidant of Yang Guozhong, and the subsequent troops were slowly moving.

I personally saw these people Yang Guozhong. Regardless of his fatigue of not sleeping for a night, he rushed to the palace and prepared to discuss matters with the emperor.

Lingbao was defeated, and the 200,000 troops were almost destroyed. Tongguan was in a critical moment. Li Longji was naturally anxious and did not sleep well in one night. He got up early in the morning and was about to summon his close ministers to discuss matters. At this time, Yang Guozhong entered the palace, and the king and his ministers spoke quietly.

While speaking, a message of peace came from Tongguan again.

When Li Longji and Yang Guozhong received peace in Tongguan, the rebels had not arrived at the city, and the troops led by Yang Xi had already arrived at Tongguan at night, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong were naturally overjoyed.

Li Longji naturally did not hesitate to praise Yang Guozhong for his good education. Yang Xi was so brave and arrived at Tongguan at such a fast speed. Just when Yang Guozhong was relieved and was grateful for his son's outstanding performance, it was heard that Yang Xi killed the prince of Yanshan County Huoba Guiren.

This news of course shocked Li Longji and Yang Guozhong. No one expected that Huoba Guiren would take Geshuhan hostage at the critical moment and surrender to the rebels. After being shocked, they were also glad that Yang Xi arrived at Tongguan so quickly and decisively killed Huoba Guiren and controlled the situation. If he was one step late, the consequences would be unimaginable. While Yang Guozhong was glad and proud of his son, he also received repeated praise from Li Longji.

Yang Guozhong knew that Lingbao's defeat in the emperor's heart had basically been eliminated by most of his complaints and dissatisfaction with him, which was all due to his diligence and his son Yang Xi's outstanding performance.

Yang Guozhong was completely relieved and was not worried about being punished by the emperor any longer. He had greeted Yang Yuhuan and asked them to say more good things to him in front of the emperor. He believed that after this, the glory of their Yang family would not be less, and would be further improved. His precious young son would quickly rise in the court and become a hot figure.

It is a blessing to lose a horse. This is what Yang Guozhong feels now.

After receiving the news that Huoba Guiren was killed, Yang Guozhong immediately suggested that Huoba Guiren's family be hunted and killed immediately to avoid rioting in Chang'an after hearing the news. Li Longji followed Yang Guozhong's advice and immediately issued an edict to investigate the Yanshan County Prince's Mansion, arrested and imprisoned all Huoba Guiren's family and accomplices, and were convicted today!

The imperial guards took the emperor's order and went to search the Yanshan County Prince's Mansion!

What surprised Yang Guozhong even more came afterwards. The rebels rushed towards Tongguan City in Yang Xi's expectations. However, because Yang Xi's first arrangement, the rebels were ambushed one after another and suffered huge losses. Although this loss was incomparable to the losses of the official army in Lingbao, it happened after the defeat of the Lingbao Battle and the defeated soldiers retreated to Tongguan. The rebels began to retreat, and Tongguan had no worries for the time being.

This made Li Longji and Yang Guozhong, who had always been worried about the safety of Tongguan and were afraid that Yang Xi would not be able to control the generals, breathed a sigh of relief again.

Facts proved that their worries were redundant. After Yang Xi arrived in Tongguan, he initially established prestige for the sacrifice and killed Huoba Guiren, and received the support of Geshuhan. He also impressed the hearts of most generals with two beautiful ambush arrangements and controlled the situation in Tongguan City.

Li Longji was overjoyed and immediately issued an edict to commend generals such as Yang Xi and Li Fude.

"Guozhong, I really didn't expect Silang to perform so well, which surprised me!" Although he didn't sleep well for a night, Li Longji looked good at this time. He stroked the beard under his forehead and said to Yang Guozhong with a smile: "Guozhong, you are good at teaching your children. Silang is very good at being young, and his performance is far better than his brothers. It seems that he can inherit the glorious appearance for you in the future!"

At this time, many important officials had already come to the hall, including Yang Guozhong's other sons, Yang Xuan, Minister of Revenue and Grandpa Yang Xiao, Minister of Rites and Minister of Works, and Yang Bing, Minister of Works. Li Longji praised Yang Xi in a blunt manner, which surprised many ministers, including Yang Guozhong, and also made Yang Xuan, Yang Xiao and Yang Bing look blank. The three brothers all had a little angry face, but they dared not say anything.

Hearing this, Yang Guozhong immediately stood up and was humble, "Your Majesty is too proud. The dog is just braver and not afraid of trouble. If you leave this to others, as long as your Majesty repeatedly and strictly orders, they can do it! The battle in Tongguan has just begun, and the war will be very cruel in the future. I just hope that the dog will not disappoint His Majesty's subsequent performance, but I dare not get such praise from His Majesty!"

Yang Guozhong's modesty naturally attracted the praise of Li Longji again. Other ministers, including Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin, etc. also came out to agree, repeatedly complimenting His Majesty the Emperor for having a vision, seeing Yang Xi's unusualness, and dared to appoint a young man like Yang Xi to lead the army to rescue Tongguan at such a critical moment, and even compared Yang Xi with the feat of Emperor Taizong who led his army to lift the siege of Yanmen.

They also congratulated Yang Guozhong repeatedly for being raised by such a son, which made them envious.

This naturally makes many people feel uncomfortable, but because Yang Xi's performance is indeed good, they dare not stand up and criticize it.

But just as the monarch and ministers were praising each other and preparing to discuss the follow-up, another urgent news came, but Yang Xi killed the eunuch Bian Lingcheng in public and sent him to the head of Bian Lingcheng!

When he heard about this, there was a noise in the hall, and Li Longji and Yang Guozhong were also shocked!
