When Yang Xi returned to Tongguan, he received news from the special training team that their large group had crossed the Wei River and was preparing to cross the Yellow River and then arrive near Shaanxi County to find out how to find out about the situation in Shaanxi County. If there was a chance to sneak into the city, they would

Try your best to use some means to assassinate or cause destruction.

When Yang Xi was training the special training team, he also trained a group of homing pigeons to use pigeons to convey information.

Birds fly much faster than horses, so it is much more convenient to use carrier pigeons to convey information. He can receive news from the special training team in time.

The special training team is still in training and cannot be considered an army yet.

If they can achieve results through actual training and get tempered, then Yang Xi will be very happy.

In ancient times when human life was very worthless and it was time for war, Yang Xi didn't care how many people died. People would always die in a war. The special training team was formed just for fighting. Yang Xi never thought that these people could not be sacrificed.

As long as the special training team did not suffer heavy losses or the entire army was destroyed, it would be fine. He just asked the special training team to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

What he hopes most is that the special training team performs well in the first operation, makes great achievements, and suffers minimal losses. In that case, the reputation of the special training team will be greatly shocked, and he will have more reason to increase the focus on special training.

The team can make various investments and give it a special status. It can also apply to the court for a special establishment.

However, no good news came from the special training team, and their plan to sneak into Shaanxi County City failed to come true.

The guards in Shaanxi County City were very tight, and there were constant patrols even at night. There was no chance of entering the city. The special training team decisively stopped the plan to sneak into the city after paying the price of three people being injured.

They started training according to another plan formulated by Yang Xi, which was to hunt down the rebel reconnaissance cavalry.

This mission was relatively simple. After the first three attacks were not ideal, they achieved good results in the subsequent attacks, annihilating several rebel reconnaissance cavalry, and clearing the passes near Lingbao.

The situation was explained in the battle report sent back to Tongguan.

The rebels completely retreated to Shaanxi County City and did not set up any large ambushes along the way. This was the conclusion reached by the special training team after careful reconnaissance.

From previous inquiries, the news came back that the rebels were stationed in some dangerous areas to guard against possible attacks by our army. Based on the analysis of this change, Yang Xi concluded that it was really possible for the rebels to retreat completely to Luoyang, or even directly to Fan Yang.

Intend.

He also immediately ordered all the soldiers in the army to prepare for actual combat so that they could go out to fight at any time.

And on the tenth day after Yang Xi returned to Tongguan from Chang'an, a piece of news came back. He was given an injection of chicken blood, and everyone became excited.

He also immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military situation.

"Everyone, I have just received news from Shaanxi County. Cui Qianyou was recalled to Luoyang by An Qingxu and has left Shaanxi County. Now the military affairs of Shaanxi County are only handled by one of his deputy generals named Li Ling!" Yang Xihuan looked at the account.

The generals below said with great pride: "Everyone, Cui Qianyou

After leaving Tongguan, the rebels completely retreated to Shaanxi County. I think this is a great opportunity for us to attack. I plan to leave 50,000 troops to guard Tongguan, and the remaining troops will be led by me personally to quickly attack Shaanxi County and strive to capture Shaanxi in one battle.

The county is captured. I just don’t know what your opinions are?”

Cui Qianyou left very secretly, without any news, but my special training team members still found out the news, and they also sent the news back as soon as possible. In the secret letter sent back, Li Han also wrote with full of pride He assured Yang Xi that he would lead half of the sergeants to follow Cui Qianyou's guard, preparing to look for opportunities to assassinate Cui Qianyou.

After listening to Yang Xi's words, the generals were stunned for a while. No one would have thought that the time to take the initiative would come so soon. Some people were surprised that Yang Xi had already made this decision, without consulting the court or discussing with the generals. The decision was made. This is what Supervisory Army Li Fuguo thought. He also stood up immediately and expressed his doubts: "Marshal, the general feels that this matter needs to be considered in the long term. Now we don't know whether Cui Qianyou's departure from Shaanxi County is really leaving. , or it’s a trick to lure the enemy, luring us to attack. What if they set up an ambush halfway?”

After listening to Li Fuguo's words, Yang Xi did not feel unhappy. Li Fuguo's worries were reasonable, but he had already solved the problem. He immediately said: "What Li Fuguo said is reasonable, but don't worry. Cui Qianyou left. The news from Shaanxi County has been confirmed. There was no rebel ambush on the way from Tongguan to Shaanxi County! Cui Qianyou must have not expected that our army would detect the news of his departure from Shaanxi County so quickly. We should take the opportunity to attack the city quickly and take advantage of the rebels. When you are unprepared, capture Shaanxi County."

At this time Wang Sili stood up and also expressed his doubts: "Marshal, I finally agree with the marshal's words that we should attack quickly when Cui Qianyou leaves Shaanxi County to catch the rebels by surprise. But now there are still more than 100,000 defenders in Shaanxi County We are all elite soldiers who are good at fighting. If we want to capture it easily, it is impossible. The general feels that we need to plan in detail and not attack rashly, otherwise the tragedy of Lingbao's defeat will happen again!"

The fiasco of Lingbao left a very heavy shadow on Wang Sili.

"Marshal, I don't agree with General Wang and Li Jianjun's statement," Gao Shi stood up to support Yang Xi's suggestion, "The military book has it, the soldiers are very fast, the rebel leader has left the army, and they are leaderless. Of course we should take this opportunity. , conquered Shaanxi County in one go, and strived to annihilate the rebels and kick off the counterattack. The marshal had made careful arrangements and had found out that the rebels had not set up an ambush along the way. The rebels would not have expected that our army would suddenly Send troops to attack Tongguan. Even if Cui Qianyou receives the report, it will be too late to return to Shaanxi Province. We cannot miss this opportunity!"

Yang Xi did not intend to let the generals argue today. After listening to Gao Shi's words, he stopped Pang Zhong who wanted to stand up and express his views, and said to the generals with a stern face: "Generals, I believe you also know about the formation of this commander. A special operations team has been formed. They have now arrived near Shaanxi County and are preparing to assassinate Cui Qianyou who is heading to Luoyang. Maybe there will be news in a few days that Cui Qianyou was assassinated by the special operations team. Also, I have developed a Gunpowder, many of you have seen how powerful this weapon is. Now the Tongguan Army has stockpiled a certain amount of gunpowder, which can be used to attack the city. No one in the rebels has ever seen the power of this weapon. I believe it. The first time gunpowder is put into use, it will definitely achieve very good results!"

Yang Xi said, paused, and then said in a more serious tone: "Therefore, I decided to take advantage of Cui Qianyou's departure to Luoyang to immediately gather troops and prepare to attack Shaanxi County. Last time I returned to Chang'an, Your Majesty already agreed. My request is that as long as there is an opportunity, we will raise troops to attack Shaanxi County and open the door to Luoyang!"

It is common for a general to leave the city he is defending. For example, a few days ago, he, the deputy marshal of troops and horses, left Tongguan for Chang'an. If the rebels detect the situation, they will probably send troops to attack. It is still unclear about Cui Qianyou Why did he leave Shaanxi County and go to Luoyang? But Yang Xi believed that An Qingxu must have summoned Cui Qianyou to discuss something important. If the news was found out, he would definitely take advantage of it.

After hearing what Yang Xi said, the generals knew that Yang Xi's decision could no longer be changed, and they no longer stood up to oppose it.
