Chapter 707: The Final Winner
In the evening, the Turkic cavalry behind the mat also fled, but unfortunately the cavalry arrived just in time, so the tripartite battle began.
"Grand Governor, the war ahead is over."
Li De was woken up in the carriage.
"The result?" Li De asked.
"The Turkic cavalry fled with a small number of soldiers and horses, and the forces on all sides suffered heavy losses." Ding Qilin said.
"The Horsemen are cleaning up the battlefield." Ding Qilin continued.
"Gather the troops."
An hour later, the cavalry guards were still cleaning the battlefield, and by this time the collected supplies had been filled with dozens of carts.
The Youzhou soldiers suddenly appeared, and took advantage of the moonlight to usher in a rain of arrows.
"Enemy attack!"
The war drums of the Xiao cavalry guard sounded, and the Youzhou soldiers arrived and launched an attack, and then the fire lit by the Xiao cavalry guard, and all the ballistas attacked in unison.
Ding Qilin, as the main general who led the troops, commanded the soldiers and horses to fight.
Youzhou soldiers began to attack.
Yuwen Chengdu was woken up in his sleep, and he was in a bad mood when he was woken up by the war drums, and he heard that he was attacked by the enemy.
The Youzhou soldiers are ready to go, and they are in a good state after resting, and then they are tired after many battles.
"Retreat!"
Yuwen Chengdu was very aware of the situation of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, and immediately asked someone to leave, and when the situation was unknown, he chose to retain his combat effectiveness.
After the previous battle gains are enough, now it is not suitable for continuous fighting.
"Grand Governor, the cavalry guards are organizing a retreat."
"Do what you can, and besiege their carriages chiefly." Li Dedao.
Ding Qilin understood that they were here to cut off Hu, and knowing the purpose, the attack of the Youzhou soldiers was not so fierce.
After all, the Xiao Cavalry Guard has 150,000 soldiers and horses, and they can't count how many are left after the previous battle.
The combat effectiveness of the Youzhou soldiers was very fierce, and the pursuit was not tight, but most of the materials collected by the Xiao cavalry guards were intercepted.
In the early morning, Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were dark, and the first time he was attacked was to organize the retreat of the cavalry guards.
Knowing that it was the Youzhou soldiers who attacked them, they planned to report to Emperor Yang of Sui after they went back, and they must let Emperor Yang of Sui know about the trouble in Youzhou, and they could not condone their development.
"General, the statistics are good, the cavalry guards lost 6,000 cavalry, the horses lost 7,000 in battle, and the harvested materials were robbed of eighty percent ......"
Yuwen Chengdu's face was very ugly, and he wanted to use the harvested materials to make up for the consequences of his assertions.
After being attacked by Youzhou soldiers, he suffered huge losses, and he had to give an account to the court and the emperor.
"Pass the order and hurry to Yanmen Pass."
Yuwen Chengdu had to be in a hurry, and now he could only quickly pursue the Turkic cavalry.
Compared with Yuwen Chengdu's hatred for Youzhou, the forces that fled were unbalanced in their hearts after learning that the benefits were taken up by Youzhou soldiers.
Because they all lost a lot, and those material booty were originally their property.
After Li De collected the spoils of war, after disposing of the battlefield, he went directly along the route of the Turkic withdrawal.
Some powerful scouts were watching and thought that the Youzhou soldiers would continue to pursue the Turkic cavalry, but they were wrong.
The Youzhou soldiers went back to Youzhou directly.
Li De's goal has been achieved, how can the Turkic cavalry still loot the state capitals after retreating, and now it is too late for them to escape.
If you pursue it again, it will be impossible to gain a lot of profits.
So the rational choice is to return to Youzhou.
Yuwen Chengdu actually knew that the Turkic cavalry would leave the Sui State on their own, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and their goal could be achieved in the end, but they just couldn't accept the defeat.
Yuwen Chengdu has always been a proud person.
Li De returned to Youzhou, there was no welcome in the middle of the road, and it was very low-key.
The materials will be counted again and then sorted and sold to merchants through the trading houses.
Governor's Mansion, after Li De came back, he was surrounded by the ladies of the family and talked about the things along the way.
Everything was handed over to Ding Qilin to deal with, and after the Jade County Lord expanded the account room according to Li De's wishes, she managed a lot of things.
Now I also have time to stay at home more and not be so tired.
"The horses harvested by the husband this time are enough to expand the 50,000 cavalry, do you want to recruit soldiers and horses as soon as possible?" Pei Qingxuan asked.
Pei Qingxuan thought a lot, after this battle, they could be regarded as offending various forces, and their interests were the most eye-catching, especially if they provoked the Xiao cavalry guards, they had to defend themselves.
Li De shook his head, it is not so simple to increase the number of 50,000 cavalry, with so many materials consumed, he wants to use the horses in other places, such as investing in the transportation industry.
"Now that the Youzhou soldiers and horses are enough, those forces don't have to worry about our Youzhou family's great cause, even if they are hostile, they will never be our opponents." Li De said lightly.
Youzhou has enough soldiers and horses, and it costs a lot to raise so many soldiers and horses, even if it is a commercial capital like Youzhou, it must be treated with caution.
Half a month later, the Turkic cavalry left the Sui State, and this time their losses were very large, and it is estimated that they will not be able to make any major moves within three years.
Yuwen Chengdu's task was completed, and the loss was not small, thinking that the Xiao cavalry guard was very strong, but in fact, the emperor's personal guards were also divided into inside and outside.
Emperor Yang of Sui was very happy to receive the news that the Turks had left the Sui State in Luoyang, and what made him even happier was that the Xiao cavalry guards took the opportunity to severely damage the various rebel forces.
Yuwen Chengdu's exploits suddenly reached a new height.
Regarding the matter of Youzhou Bing, Yuwen Chengdu did not focus on it, but the intention was already very clear.
Although Emperor Yang of Sui was angry, he did not have two feats.
He was in need of victory so much, and the Xiaocai Guards had a great impact after this battle, and many noble forces were relieved to learn that the Turks had left the Sui State.
Among them, it was still changed by Yu Wenhua and the meaning, and after considering the pros and cons, it was decided not to embarrass Emperor Yang of Sui.
Because the current Youzhou is too strong, if the contradiction is expanded, the imperial court has no choice, and in the end it is Emperor Yang of Sui who is troubled.
The thing that the Yuwen family thinks about is to let them get the maximum benefit, and as for Youzhou, the problem really can't break out now.
After Yuwen Chengdu returned to Luoyang, he was immediately summoned into the palace by Emperor Yang of Sui, and a few days after secret talks, Yuwen Chengdu was sent to train soldiers and horses.
Several battles were fought by insufficient troops.
Emperor Yang of Sui saw the problem, and combined with the opinions of the Ministry of War, he had the idea of letting Yuwen Chengdu train elite soldiers.
The elite soldiers are naturally the cavalry guards that expand the soldiers and horses, and the standing guards have been expanded to 200,000.
The most proud is Yu Wenhua, all of which he pushed behind him.
His idea is very simple, as long as the Yuwen family can master these 200,000 elites, then the world can compete.
In addition to expanding the number of Xiao cavalry guards, Emperor Yang of Sui also issued a holy decree, calling on the noble princes to assemble and eliminate the rebels.
For this reason, Emperor Yang of Sui offered generous conditions.
