Yang Xi set off on the sixth day after Ge Shuhan left Tongguan, preparing to return to Chang'an to report on his duties and to report many matters.

He sorted out the things that needed to be reported, wrote a clear draft and took it with him, intending to express his purpose and thoughts when he met the saint and was alone with his father, Yang Guozhong.

He has come to this era and has participated in major historical events. He cannot be detached. No matter what aspect he considers, he must continue to participate in all the history. He must continue to be the protagonist of many events and even the entire era.

The protagonist.

To do this, you must have enough planning. Returning to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit and presenting the reasons for your love is something that must be done, and it is very urgent!

He made the most thorough arrangements for the affairs of Tongguan. He also gave the greatest trust to Wang Sili, Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and others, making the three of them in charge of the military affairs of Tongguan, and repeatedly asked them to strictly train the Tongguan army.

Most of these 100,000 people must be trained into elite soldiers. The selection and training of a special team will be left to him after he returns from Chang'an. No one else can complete this task, only he himself can do it.

Yang Xi arranged another important task for Wang Sili, Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and others, which was to repair Tongguan City in the Han Dynasty.

Han Tongguan City played a very important role in resisting the siege of the rebels, but it was also frequently baptized by wars and burned several times by fires. It has basically lost its defensive function. Yang Xi ordered the use of sergeants and levy militiamen to repair it.

Tongguan City in the Han Dynasty restored its defensive capabilities. Tongguan City in the Sui Dynasty also suffered a certain degree of damage in several battles. The beacon towers in the Twelve Liancheng City were also damaged and must be repaired as soon as possible. The landfills and corpses in the forbidden ditch were all damaged.

To clean it out.

In order for Tongguan City to have a good defensive function against enemies, the Forbidden ditch natural barrier must be well protected.

These days, Yang Xi personally inspected the upper reaches of Forbidden Valley and found no place where a reservoir could be built. The upper reaches of Forbidden Valley were all rugged hillside land. According to the current conditions, it was impossible to build a reservoir, so he had to give up.

After settling everything, Yang Xi embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.

He didn't take any of the sergeants, not even all of the personal guards, with him. He only had fifty personal guards led by Yang Dong.

If there are few people, they can rush forward through the post station. The post station from Tongguan to Chang'an has a lot of horses, which can fully accommodate more than 50 of them. If the horse rushes forward quickly, it only takes about half a day to reach Chang'an. Because it is very hot during the day,

The men and horses couldn't bear the food and ran away quickly. Yang Xi was on his way after nightfall. It was already half moon, the moon was bright, the scenery was roughly visible, and the spacious official road was open for them to gallop.

It only took a little more than midnight, and Yang Xi arrived outside Chang'an City just as the sky was getting white.

At a post station closest to Chang'an, Yang Xi took a break with his guards to take a shower and change clothes, so as not to enter the palace with the smell of sweat.

At the inn, Yang Xi slept for about an hour and then got up.

To his surprise and surprise, Ge Shuhan, who had set off five days before him, also stopped at this inn. After some inquiries, Yang Xi found out that Ge Shuhan had difficulty moving due to leg disease and could only ride a carriage in the next few days.

We have marched on and have not reached Chang'an yet.

However, Yang Xi felt that Ge Shuhan did not want to arrive in Chang'an soon, probably because he was afraid of being punished after meeting the saint.

"Old General Ge Shu, it just so happens that we can go to the palace together to meet the saint and discuss the affairs of Tong!" After understanding the situation, Yang Xi said to Ge Shuhan with a smile.

"That's fine!" Ge Shuhan nodded in agreement, stroking his gray beard, feeling relieved in his heart.

After the door-opening drum, Yang Xi, accompanied by Ge Shuhan, passed through Chunming Gate and entered Chang'an City in front of the people entering the city.

Today is the morning meeting day.

As Li Longji got older, he was no longer in charge of politics, but now that the situation in Tongguan has just stabilized and the rebellion is still continuing, Li Longji needs to often discuss follow-up arrangements with the courtiers, and it is rare that he got up early to preside over the court meeting today. In the presence of Yang Xi and his brother

When Shu Han entered Chang'an City and asked for an audience at the gate of Xingqing Palace, the court meeting had just begun. When he heard that Yang Xi and his brother Shu Han were outside the palace asking for an audience, Li Longji immediately ordered them to enter the palace.

Under the attention of all the ministers, Yang Xi, who was dressed in military uniform, helped Ge Shuhan, who was inconvenient to move, to the Xingqing Hall, and each of them saluted the emperor Li Longji who was sitting on the throne.

"Yang Xiao Aiqing, brother Shu Aiqing, please be free!" Li Longji, who had received the news a few days ago that Tongguan was guarding and the rebels had retreated to Shaanxi County, looked delighted. He looked at His Highness Yang Xi and his brother Shu Han with a smile and said: "Yang Xiao Ai

Sir, I didn't expect you to be so brave at such a young age. You were able to withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of rebels with only the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in Tongguan City until reinforcements arrived! You have made great achievements, and I will definitely reward you heavily!

"

Just before Yang Xi had time to imitate Tang Qian, Jingzhao Yin Wei Fang came out and reported: "Your Majesty, Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty began to lead the army at the age of seventeen. At the age of 17, he made a pardon for the war.

Seal the wolf to live in Xu, and his name will last forever! Marshal Yang asked for help to rescue Tongguan in times of crisis, and successfully repelled countless sieges by the rebels, turning the tide and saving the Tang Dynasty from danger. His great achievements

No less than Huo Piaoxiao! Your Majesty, this is your Majesty’s good fortune, and the Tang Dynasty’s good fortune is that Mr. Yang taught his children well! Marshal Yang and Mr. Yang must be given heavy rewards to show their merits and to boost the morale of the soldiers!"

Although what Wei Fangjin said sounded like flattery and to please Yang Guozhong, it was not unreasonable. Yang Xi's contribution to Tongguan was very great. No one could deny this. Wei Fangjin went to the palace to collect rewards for Yang Xi.

Although some people in the court felt uncomfortable, they did not stand up to object or criticize.

Yang Guozhong, who was standing at the head of the hall, did not express any attitude, but he could not hide the pride in his heart.

This youngest son of his family was truly a lucky star. Not only did he help him resolve the catastrophe he was facing, but he also brought glory to the Yang family. He made a decisive decision that day and agreed to let Yang Xi lead the army to rescue Tongguan. It seemed that he made the right decision.

The decision that day was not to cut off a strong man's wrist, but to add icing on the cake to his own glory.

This youngest son of his has really accomplished a lot, far better than the older three sons. He must devote all his efforts to his cultivation in the future. It is probably Yang Xi who will pass on the glory of the Yang family and make this glory more and more glorious.

, reaching an unpredictable height.

While Yang Guozhong was happily rejoicing and secretly planning, Wei Jiesu, Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, also stood up and echoed Wei Fangjin's proposal: "Your Majesty, I second my proposal. Marshal Yang made outstanding military exploits in the Battle of Tongguan. With more than 10,000 remaining troops, the defeated generals withstood the defeat.

The rebels' attack and such achievements cannot be justified if the imperial court does not reward them heavily!"

"Well, what you dear friends are saying makes sense. Yang Xi will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court for his great achievements in Tongguan! Merits will be rewarded, and delinquencies will be punished. Only in this way can the military and national prestige be boosted, otherwise it will be cold.

The heart of a soldier!" Li Longji stroked his beard and said the words in front of him with a smile, then suddenly shouted loudly: "Where is Yang Xi!"

After Yang Xi heard Li Longji's order, he was startled and immediately stepped forward to salute and answer the order: "Your Majesty, I am here!"

Before Li Longji could open his mouth to award the reward, Yang Xi immediately said something he had been thinking about: "Your Majesty, I have achieved military merit in Tongguan, but the military merit I have achieved is inseparable from the soldiers who fought desperately to kill the enemy.

Yes, I hope that when your Majesty rewards your ministers, he will also reward all the soldiers in Tongguan City! Also, I hope that your Majesty will allow the soldiers who were responsible for the defeat of Lingbao to continue to lead the army and atone for their sins!"
