Yang Jian was very conscious at this time. Most of the soldiers under Zhang Xutuo were second-line troops such as county soldiers, or new soldiers who were recruited one after another after the war started.
With the combat power of this part of the army, it is impossible to take back Xiao Guan from the elite of the Jin army. It is even possible that they will be defeated by the elite of the Jin army in Xiao Guan. Those second-line troops such as county soldiers or new soldiers
, facing Feng Yi's elite cavalry, they will definitely be defeated at the drop of a hat.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to conserve your strength to hold on.
"Zuo Tiancheng, you immediately send 30,000 soldiers and horses to support General Zhang Xutuo, and listen to the orders under General Zhang Xutuo's tent!" Yang Jian looked at the generals in the tent, and finally, his eyes rested on an imposing figure.
On the general.
"General, take your orders!" Zuo Tiancheng clasped his hands and replied to Yang Jian with great determination.
The commander of the Golden Sword Palace, Zuo Tiancheng, was Yang Jian's favorite general. He was brave and strategic, had the ability to charge into battle, was strict in running the army, and occasionally had strange plans. The key was that Zuo Tiancheng was loyal enough to Yang Jian. It is precisely because of this that,
Yang Jian then handed over this task to Zuo Tiancheng.
At the same time, after Yang Jian sent Zuo Tiancheng to support Zhang Xutuo, he no longer stayed in Tongguan. After leaving the affairs to Yang Su and Yang Lin, Yang Jian quickly returned to Chang'an.
Previously, in the entire Yongzhou, Tongguan was the only place where war broke out. At that time, it was not a problem for Yang Jian to come to Tongguan to take charge.
But the situation is different now. The east and west fronts of Yongzhou are at war at the same time. At this time, it is most appropriate for Yang Jian to go to Chang'an Juzhong to command and dispatch.
If Yang Jian continues to stay in Tongguan, once something goes wrong with Zhang Xutuo in Qian County, it will definitely take more time to reach Yang Jian. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is very likely that this period of time will lead to a huge war.
Different directions.
Moreover, there were also problems in Chang'an that Yang Jian had to deal with. Things like Xian Emperor Liu Xie and Yang Yong's previous massacre of the Dong family all needed to be dealt with by Yang Jian.
Especially Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. After Yang Jian went to Tongguan, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty took more and more actions in private. Jin Wang Li Xiang's army pressed the border, and the defeat of various princes in Liangzhou also gave many people in Chang'an City some hope.
Different ideas.
Therefore, Yang Jian must now go back and sort out Chang'an. It would be funny if his base camp was disrupted first when foreign enemies were pressing the border.
Outside Tongguan, the Jin army camp.
Not long after Yang Jian received the news of the fall of Xiaoguan, Li Xiang also received the news. Different from the sadness of Yang Jian's forces in Tongguan, Li Xiang's generals, large and small, were overjoyed. After several months,
, the war situation finally had a breakthrough change.
Next, Li Xiang had received the news that Yang Jian ordered Zuo Tian to send 30,000 troops to support the western part of Yongzhou. After receiving this news, after discussing with the counselors, Li Xiang immediately decided to attack Tongguan again.
Moreover, this time Li Xiang not only used the prisoner army, this time, the main force of the Jin army also began to participate.
Counting the surrender troops sent by Xue Rengui and Wang Meng, Li Xiang has formed an army of at least 60,000 prisoners. After this period of time, half of them have fallen under Tongguan.
With such huge casualties, Li Xiang's attempts to boost morale were of no use. Moreover, Li Xiang could not push these people too hard, otherwise it would not be a good thing to cause a mutiny.
It is precisely because of this that it is now time for the real elite of the Jin army to take action.
Tongguan is different from Hangu Pass. Although Tongguan is dangerous, it is not a narrow pass that cannot be opened by one man. It must be defended by a large army. If there are too few troops, Tongguan will no longer be an indestructible strong pass.
Already.
Precisely because Tongguan has such characteristics, if Li Xiang keeps pressing Tongguan with his army and assumes a posture that he must break through Tongguan and enter the middle of the pass, most of Yang Jian's attention will inevitably be firmly attracted to the defense of Tongguan.
Coupled with the situation at Xiaoguan, Yang Jian's mind must be completely consumed in these two places.
In the same way, after dividing Zuo Tiancheng's force, even if something went wrong elsewhere in Yongzhou, Yang Jian would not be able to send troops from Tongguan to support him again.
Only by attracting Yang Jian's attention can Jin troops elsewhere have the opportunity to take action.
Chang'an, Palace of the Sui Dynasty.
"Forget it, please step back first!" Yang Jian looked at his eldest son, Yang Yong, who was kneeling on the ground carefully for a long time, and then finally sighed and said helplessly.
Hearing that Yang Jian actually wanted to retreat, Yang Yong felt a thump in his heart. He raised his head and wanted to say something, but was choked back by Yang Jian's glare. In the end, he could only cautiously wait for the moment.
Retired.
The second son Yang Guang on the side was secretly happy when he saw this. Sometimes, the cost of not punishing someone is much more serious than being severely punished. Because sometimes, not punishing someone after making a mistake means more.
disappointment.
"Brother, big brother, you are the one who brought it upon yourself this time!" Yang Guang sneered lightly in his heart.
In this incident, since Yang Jian returned to Chang'an, Yang Guang has spent a lot of effort to achieve today's scene. If Yang Guang hadn't done something behind the scenes, I'm afraid Yang Jian wouldn't have
He was so quickly disappointed with his eldest son Yang Yong.
Previously, because of the murder of the Dong family, Yang Jian was forced to send Yang Jian to kill Wu Wenhua, his second most powerful general. However, as for some details of the murder of the Dong family, the two letters from Yang Yong and Yang Guang were not enough to explain everything.
.
Moreover, Yang Yong's letter was vague in many places in order to hide some things. Although Yang Guang's letter pointed out that Yang Yong was most likely to be plotted by others, Yang Jian still had to investigate it again himself.
Just feel at ease.
After all, when Yang Guang wrote this letter, although he tried to hide it as much as possible, he still had some subjective colors embedded in it. Naturally, the sophisticated Yang Jian could easily see the problems clearly.
Therefore, after Yang Yong left, although Yang Jian glanced calmly at Yang Guang who was standing by, he did not say much. When the eldest son could not be reused, it was not necessarily a bad thing for the second son to be somewhat ambitious.
Thinking of what he had discovered before, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel a little more disappointed with his eldest son.
This is clearly someone who wants to use his hands to separate the relationship between Wu Wenhua and the Sui army through the Dong family, so that Yang Jian can cut off his own arm, but his eldest son actually fell into the trap so easily. Before that, he actually
