"Yuanba! It's hard for you to go outside Yanmen Pass, is it okay? Zou Yu asked gently.

"Absolutely!" Li Yuanba replied without hesitation.

"You follow General Shubao, listen to him in everything, don't be impulsive!" Zou Yu told him that he didn't want Li Yuanba to move, after all, he knew that he was not in good health, even if Xue Yuanjing had recovered a lot after the examination, he was still worried that the high-intensity activity of fighting would cause him harm.

However, at present, there is a shortage of manpower, and the best configuration is one person to command and one person to charge, so Qin Qiong's side is short of one person; Although Wei Chi Jingde was dissatisfied with Liu Wuzhou, it was definitely not appropriate to let him turn around and fight, as for Xue Wanche, he was worried about the safety of his brother and younger brother, and it seemed that it was not easy for him to go.

"Well, Brother Zou, don't worry." Li Yuanba nodded lightly.

"Don't worry, general, I will try not to let Yuanba do it." Qin Qiong followed.

"I'm fine." Li Yuanba still has a very good impression of Qin Qiong, after all, he was the first to discover him in the iron cage, otherwise ordinary soldiers must not have the slightest interest in a person who is about to die, and maybe they will starve to death in the iron cage.

"Be obedient, when your body is fully recovered, we have a chance to fight side by side!" Zou Yu admonished again.

"Good!" Li Yuanba nodded, not stubborn.

"General, many homeless people have come to join the army, but many of them are very thin, how should they be settled?" Wen Dalin asked.

"These are all in response to the killing order?" Zou Yu asked.

"Yes." Wen Dalin nodded.

"In this case, we can't be untrustworthy, and at the same time, we can't snub everyone! These men were organized into separate beggars, distributed weapons, and arranged for old soldiers to train them. Zou Yu commanded.

"Subordinates obey!" Wen Dalin hurriedly handed over the order.

"General, I'm afraid that such a soldier doesn't have much combat power, right? Bringing them with you, will it drag down the army instead? Xue Wanche asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter! Just let them stay in the rear and help with the tailwind. Zou Yu waved his hand.

"This..." Everyone couldn't help but hesitate for a while, after all, this kind of soldier is not very useful, and when it is used, it is a drag, and no one wants to bring it, and they want to persuade it, but they don't know how to persuade it.

"General Xue took 3,000 cavalry and rushed to Yizhou first, trying to hold off the Turks! The army then arrived. Zou Yu ordered again.

"Whoa!" Xue Wanche hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Wen Dayou still serves as the Taiyuan Order! Mr. Xue Yuanjing temporarily served as the Taishou of Yanmen, Lu Chengye, Lu Min, Wen Zhu, Wen Ting, Wang Zhao, and other county commanders of Mayi. Zou Yu once again ordered the Wen family and the Lu family, and more than a dozen members of the Wang family served as local petty officials.

"Whoa!" Wen Dayou and the others hurriedly got up to receive the order, and at the same time knew that this was a test for Zou Yu to their family's sons and nephews.

Yanmen Pass is sparsely populated, and it is not difficult to govern, and there is a large army guarding it, if this is not handled well, it will definitely be difficult to take on a big task, and it is no wonder that Zou Yu will not be reused at that time, so Wen Dayou and others have decided in their hearts that they must teach their sons and nephews well when they go back.

The charter was set, the army was quickly launched, Li Jing had 40,000 horses all the way, although Zou Yu was now a large number of people, but more of them were new troops, the beggar army from Jinyang to Taiyuan, followed all the way, and more than 20,000 people had joined, Zou Yu transferred 10,000 old soldiers, and after they were dispersed, they were reorganized and taught.

Wei Chi Jingde took 20,000 foot soldiers to follow Xue Wanche behind, others didn't trust him, Zou Yu still trusted him very much, which made him very moved, after all, a person who had just taken refuge in the city was entrusted with a heavy task, and also handed over the army to him, especially Zou Yu thoughtfully did not use him to be familiar with Liu Wuzhou, but went to let him attack, which made Wei Chi Jingde even more moved.

If you want to talk about the beggar army, it really gives Zou Yu a headache, there are both old and weak, and there are a lot of them, that is, it took two days to select and distinguish people, and it took two days to select the good ones separately and form the elite, and the weak ones to form auxiliary soldiers and divide labor.

Fortunately, the Sui Dynasty was a government military system, most of them had participated in the training of government soldiers, and they were still familiar with the seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings, so the first thing to emphasize was the military order.

To say that the biggest advantage of joining the beggar army is that the logistics personnel are not worried, after announcing the heavy reward for the logistics personnel, no one is dissatisfied, or even more happy, after all, there is no need to work hard.

Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanshu defended Shanggu County, facing the Yi Nan who came from Daizhou, although the Xue Yantuo tribe was dissatisfied with the Turks, but for the robbery of the Central Plains, they were still not merciless, the Xue family brothers had limited troops, and they had to only divide troops to refuse, Xue Wanshu guarded Zhuolu, and Xue Wanshu guarded Juyong Pass!

To say that Yi Nan is also smart, he doesn't want to offend the Central Plains to death, because he wants to use the power of the Central Plains to weaken the Turks, so that he can rise, so he does not attack the city, but only divides his troops to rob around.

Fortunately at the beginning, it did gain a lot, after all, Daizhou and Yizhou were close to the border, and many people had not had time to evacuate, but it didn't take long for Yi Nan to find out that something was wrong, and the small group of soldiers who went out would always die inexplicably, at first he just thought that he was killed by the Yizhou guards, and specially sent a lot of thousands of people to support each other and patrol. Who knows, after looking for a lot of places, not even a single soldier found it, he arranged a team of 100 people as bait, but also in vain, only the kind of team of more than ten or twenty people disappeared every time, and one east and one west, far apart.

It wasn't until he lost hundreds of people that he learned from the escaped soldiers that it was all done by ordinary people, which made Yi Nan very surprised, although it was said that Youzhou, and the people of the state were fierce, but generally speaking, compared to the grassland tribes, there were still far behind, and there were many who dared to fight hard, but it was rare to kill dozens of them at a time.

Yi Nan is a cautious person, so he immediately shrank his forces and asked the soldiers to go out in a team of at least 100 people, but it didn't take a few days for even the 100 team to disappear as a whole.

Yi Nan didn't know that the wisdom of the people of the Central Plains was endless, under the inducement of rich rewards and the idea of protecting their homes, the people joined forces, and at first they just set up all kinds of traps, poisoned, fireproofed, and killed a small number of Xue Yantuo people, and when Yi Nan let the 100-person team go out, they had already got a lot of weapons, and even war horses, of course, they also shot at the 100-person team.
