Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 721 Disappointment
Yang Jian was very sober at this time. The soldiers under Zhang Xutuo's command were mostly second-line troops such as county soldiers, or recruits recruited one after another after the war started.

With the combat strength of this part of the troops, it is impossible to take back Xiaoguan from the Jin army's elite.There is even a possibility that Xiao Guan's elite Jin army will beat him up.Those second-line troops such as county soldiers or recruits would definitely be defeated in the face of Feng Yi's elite cavalry.

Instead of this, it would be better to save strength first to hold on.

"Zuo Tiancheng, you immediately send [-] troops to support General Zhang Xutuo, and listen to orders under General Zhang Xutuo's tent!" Yang Jian looked at the generals in the tent, and finally, his eyes rested on a majestic man. on the general.

"The last general takes orders!" Zuo Tiancheng clasped his fists and replied firmly to Yang Jian.

Zuo Tiancheng, Commander of the Golden Knife Hall, is Yang Jian's favorite general.Brave and resourceful, he has the ability to charge into battle, but also manages the army strictly, and occasionally has strange plans.The point is, Zuo Tiancheng is loyal enough to Yang Jian.It was precisely because of this that Yang Jian entrusted this task to Zuo Tiancheng.

At the same time, after Yang Jian sent Zuo Tiancheng to support Zhang Xutuo, he did not stay in Tongguan any longer. After handing over the general affairs to Yang Su and Yang Lin, Yang Jian quickly returned to Chang'an.

Before, in the entire Yongzhou, only Tongguan had a war. It was not a problem for Yang Jian to come to Tongguan to sit in the town at that time.

But the situation is different now. Yongzhou's east and west are at war at the same time. At this time, it is most appropriate for Yang Jian to go to Chang'an to command and dispatch.

If Yang Jian continues to stay in Tongguan, once something goes wrong with Zhang Xutuo in Qian County, it will take more time to reach Yang Jian. On the battlefield, things change rapidly, and it is very likely that this period of time will cause a big battle. different directions.

Moreover, there was also a problem in Chang'an, and Yang Jian had to deal with it. The massacre of the Dong family by Xiandi Liu Xie and Yang Yong all required Yang Jian to deal with it.

Especially Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Since Yang Jian went to Tongguan, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has done more and more private actions.The army of Jin Wang Li Xiang suppressed the situation, and the defeat of the princes in Liangzhou also made many people in Chang'an have some different ideas.

Therefore, Yang Jian must now go back and sort out Chang'an again.It would be ridiculous if one's base camp was in chaos first under the pressure of foreign enemies.

Outside Tongguan, the Jin army camp.

Not long after Yang Jian received the news of Xiao Guan's fall, Li Xiang also received the news.Different from the sorrow of Yang Jian's forces in Tongguan, Li Xiang's generals, large and small, were overjoyed.After several months, the battle situation finally had a breakthrough change.

Next, Li Xiang had already received the news that Yang Jian ordered Zuo Tian to send [-] troops to support the west of Yongzhou.After receiving this news, after discussing with all the counselors, Li Xiang immediately decided to storm Tongguan again.

Moreover, this time Li Xiang didn't just use the prisoner army, this time, the main force of the Jin army also began to participate.

Counting the surrendered troops sent by Xue Rengui and Wang Meng successively, Li Xiang has formed an army of at least [-] prisoners.After this period of consumption, half of the people have fallen under Tongguan.

With such huge casualties, even if Li Xiang thought of ways to boost morale, it would not be very effective.Moreover, Li Xiang couldn't force these people too hard, otherwise, it would not be a good thing to cause mutiny.

It is precisely because of this that the time has come for the real Jin army elite to do it.

Tongguan is different from Hangu Pass. Although Tongguan is dangerous, it is not guarded by one man. It is a narrow pass that cannot be opened by ten thousand men, and it must be guarded by a large army.If there are too few troops, Tongguan will no longer be an unbreakable fortified pass.

Because of the characteristics of Tongguan, if Li Xiang kept pressing Tongguan with a large army and assumed the posture that he must break through Tongguan and enter the middle of Guanzhong, most of Yang Jian's attention would definitely be firmly attracted to Tongguan's defense.Coupled with the situation at Xiaoguan, Yang Jian's mind must be completely spent on these two places.

In the same way, after Zuo Tiancheng's force was divided, even if something went wrong in other places in Yongzhou, Yang Jian was unable to send troops from Tongguan to support him again.

Only by attracting Yang Jian's attention can the Jin army in other places have a chance to strike.

Chang'an, Sui Palace.

"Forget it, you step back first!" Yang Jian looked at his eldest son Yang Yong who was kneeling on the ground cautiously with his head bowed for a long time, before he finally let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

Hearing that Yang Jian wanted to make himself retreat like this, Yang Yong's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head and wanted to say something, but Yang Jian stared at him and forced him back.In the end, he had no choice but to step back carefully.

Seeing this, Yang Guang, the second son at the side, was secretly delighted. Sometimes, not punishing him would be more expensive than punishing him severely.Because, sometimes, not punishing after making a mistake means more disappointment.

"Big brother, big brother, this time it's your fault!" Yang Guang sneered lightly in his heart.

In this incident, since Yang Jian returned to Chang'an, Yang Guang spent a lot of effort, which led to today's scene.If Yang Guang hadn't done something behind the scenes, I'm afraid Yang Jian would not have been disappointed with his eldest son Yang Yong so quickly.

Before, because of the killing of the Dong family, Yang Jian was forced to send Yang Jian to kill Wu Wenhua, the second most powerful general under his command.But for some details of the killing of the Dong family, the two letters between Yang Yong and Yang Guang are not enough to explain everything.

Moreover, Yang Yong's letter was vague in many places in order to hide some things, and although Yang Guang's letter pointed out that Yang Yong was very likely to be plotted by others, Yang Jian still had to investigate again by himself. Only at ease.

After all, when Yang Guang wrote this letter, although he concealed it as much as possible, he still substituted some subjective colors into it. Naturally, the seasoned Yang Jian could easily see the problems clearly.

Therefore, after Yang Yong left, although Yang Jian glanced calmly at Yang Guang who was standing beside him, he didn't say much.When the eldest son cannot be reused, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the second son to be ambitious.

Thinking of what he had discovered before, Yang Jian couldn't help being a little more disappointed with his eldest son again.

This is clearly someone who wanted to use his hand to separate the relationship between Wu Wenhua and the Sui Army through the Dong family, so that Yang Jian could cut off his own arm, but his eldest son fell into the trap so easily. Didn't find anything wrong.
