Chapter 361: Arriving at Yanmen

The generals are like this, when the atmosphere is low, they will replace it with something else, casualties will make them sad, and their exploits will boost morale.

It makes people not think about the things that are on their minds.

"The brothers who died in the war will receive the pension of the vanguard logistics guards, and those who have children at home will be helped, and I promise here that all the soldiers of the vanguard will receive due pensions for the death of the soldiers, even if the banner of the vanguard no longer exists, as long as I live, your family will have no worries."

Li De amplified his voice when he said to the lieutenant, and the soldiers heard it, and their morale was restored in the dullness, and the soldiers ate food and earned their military exploits, and now their governors promised each of them that it was touching.

is even more willing to serve the death force and do his best.

The hearts of the people are cohesive, after this battle, it is really a forging of fierce soldiers, and the soldiers and horses who are not afraid of death are so terrifying.

The Turkic cavalry returned to help and found Huhad, and the 2,000 men he led were left with less than 100 men and horses, and they chose to flee in order to protect themselves, and the remaining more than 3,000 people of the vassal tribes could not compete with the opponent in terms of combat strength, so they had no choice but to run with them.

A large amount of materials were lost, but people were saved, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Huhad was relieved to hear the news of the death of the great general Utomon, so he didn't have to take the blame for it, and his life was worry-free.

They thought about continuing the pursuit and recovering the reputation of their warriors, but the objective situation did not allow it, so more than 20,000 people completely left the Great Sui border.

Li De and the others hurried and hurried to meet the people led by Pei Qingxuan at Yanmen Pass.

Outside the city of Yanmen, the banners of the vanguard soldiers and horses fluttered in the wind, and there were 20,000 garrisons at the border passes.

The arrival of the vanguard was taken seriously by the garrison generals of Yanmen City, but they suffered a little in terms of material support, because they had no surplus food.

But this was not difficult for Pei Qingxuan, on the day of arrival, in addition to setting up a barracks outside the city, Li Xiuning, Yujun Lord and others brought their goods to Yanmen City to do business with local wealthy merchants.

High-quality cattle and sheep, furs, and some Turkic handicrafts were exchanged for some silver in one day, which reduced the pressure on their material transportation.

Grain and grass are directly purchased with money from grain merchants, which is very smooth.

By the time Li De arrived with his people, the barracks outside Yanmen City had begun to take shape, and under the leadership of Pei Qingxuan, five hundred soldiers had been recruited.

It is said that it is a normal sign that the government soldiers are actually normal, and they all want to wait until they return to Chang'an to make up for it, and they can first make a record within the vanguard, and it is reasonable to have the seal of the guard of Yanmen City to prove it.

Pei Qingxuan and the others are all people with long-term plans, and these new government soldiers recruited are all going to follow them to Youzhou, which is not the duty of military training, but directly recruits and replenishes the vanguard.

I don't know how many losses there will be in this battle, they dare to come all the way and know that the lack of numbers is the weakness of the vanguard, and if they want to change, they must recruit new soldiers.

It took some methods to recruit 500 people, and the age is generally slightly lower, and it is not easy to have such a scale because of the perennial war at the border pass.

The defenders of Yanmen City are very supportive, in fact, what they lack is not people, but soldiers who can go into battle to kill the enemy, and then they don't have the authority to be pioneers, nor do they have the capital to recruit.

Five hundred people said that it was not much, but it was a lot less, and it would cost a lot of money to purchase armor and weapons, and the generals of Yanmen City could not come up with so much money.

Pei Qingxuan asked the blacksmiths to improve the captured armor and use it, but it really didn't cost much, and the food was a little tight, but the food was not a problem under the silver money offensive.

The grain merchants in Yanmen couldn't take it out, so they bought it.

The people led by Li De entered the barracks smoothly, and as soon as the road was handed to the main general's tent by several female captains, seeing this posture, the other lieutenants were only envious.

"The governor is really a masterpiece, have you found it, the lord of the jade county looks at our governor with a look of love, if we can catch the old prince, maybe we can also follow the light." Wei Li said enviously.

"You read it wrong, why didn't I find that there was something abnormal in the eyes of the Jade County Lord." Luo Song wondered.

"You know how to practice martial arts, where do you know how to love children, come and let me teach you a lesson." Wei Li put on his usual style as he spoke, wanting to go over and talk about it.

Luo Song didn't eat him at all, he just avoided it, didn't continue to take it, and went directly to rest, they were really tired all the way.

"I'll go back and rest." Shi Huaiyi followed.

Wei Li was just interested in some gossip, but no one gave face, watching several lieutenants leave one after another, leaving Ding Qilin, who seemed to be quite interested.

Wei Li saw that it was better not to tell the child about this kind of thing, so he turned around and left.

At this time, Ding Qilin was interested in the topic that Wei Li said, he had been looking at the recruits who were being trained not far away, and if the vanguard number was enough, they would be able to compete with the Turks.

And he was summing up the battle, and the seemingly victorious victory did not really hurt the enemy's vitality, and the Turks would continue to harass the border like replenishing supplies.

At the same time, he also recognized the advantages of strategy, thinking that he could not be brute force in the future battle, and using his brains would make the possibility of victory greater, and it would also make the soldiers sacrifice less.

In the main tent of the barracks, the women who usually showed cold behavior in front of the soldiers were concerned first, and then relieved after checking that Li De was not injured.

Then I wanted to know what happened after they left.

Li De told them specific things, and it took less than half an hour to explain the situation, and Li Xiuning next to him was also making records, and these things needed to be submitted to the military department.

The details of the work can not be pulled down, after the completion of the inspection a few times before asking someone to send the war report back to Chang'an, they will not forget the matter of asking for credit.

"Husband, the loss of the vanguard this time is not small, it will take at least half a month for the wounded to treat and recuperate, and the seriously injured are no longer suitable for continuing to walk, so they can only be temporarily allowed to stay in Yanmen City to rest, and then return to Chang'an after the injury is healed, and the medical expenses required will increase a lot." Li Xiuning said.

"Soldiers' pensions need to be taken care of, and our people have to take care of the wounded soldiers, and they have to deal with all kinds of affairs, and the money can be handled, but manpower is really a problem." Li Xiuning continued.

Li De thought for a while, and then said: "Look at this, let's hire some people in the barracks to come over to take care of the sick and pay the wages to manage the food, and the manpower will be solved." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Li Xiuning said.
