When Emperor Yang of Sui was angry, the soldiers and horses far away in Liaoshui had already gathered.

The Jianghuai sailors who came to Hu'er had already left by boat, and the soldiers and horses returning from all walks of life were all hurrying to prepare to leave this place of distress quickly.

Li An and Wei Wenzheng returned with 20,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and the combined number of soldiers and horses of the two was less than 15,000.

I happened to encounter a lot of soldiers and horses who were lost in the enemy's hinterland, and as a result, more and more people gathered, and the large amount of grain and grass they carried before could barely support so many people.

The gains of their trip are not small, in the hinterland of the enemy, the big rod is not fought, the small battles are continuous, no soldiers have been captured, they are far away, Yuwenshu's order can not come at all, unless it is a retreat, otherwise there is no way for them.

They really restrained the enemy's soldiers and horses, and did not encounter a situation of fraudulent surrender, and they have been harassing the enemy's city and saving a lot of trouble.

20,000 people made outstanding achievements in battle, and when they returned to Liaoshui to show their merits, many people were blushing.

Originally, the Jianghuai sailors led by Hu'er won a few battles, and then rashly attacked the city, only to be defeated and returned, and the merits were offset by a hard trip.

Yuwen Shu knew that he would definitely not be able to teach bad when he went back this time, so he had to wait for the remaining soldiers and horses to gather before making a judgment, 300,000 soldiers and horses, and now only a thousand people have returned.

The soldiers of the Liaoshui base camp were all desperate.

The enemy surrendered by fraud, Liu Shilong opposed Yuwenshu's withdrawal of troops, and now the defeat has become the anger of the public, Yu Zhongwen has already planned to use his hands, but was stopped by Yuwenshu.

Although the two do not deal with each other, but at this time Liu Shilong must be brought back to obey His Majesty's fate, he and Yu Zhongwen are going to take the blame, but Liu Shilong is decision-making error, which led to the defeat of the army, they are all smart people who can't be impulsive, otherwise the three of them will have no good fruit to eat.

"Report, the right leader and the right guard 20,000 soldiers and horses have returned." The heralds went into the big tent to report.

"20,000 soldiers and horses, go and see." When Yuwen was stunned, Yu Zhongwen dragged him out.

When all the soldiers and horses were lost, it was unbelievable that there was one, but not two, soldiers and horses intact.

"Right Guard, Wei Wenxuan."

"Ang Lee, the leader of the right."

"See the General."

"It's good to come back, and let's talk about it." Yuwen Shu immediately said.

Li An and Wei Wenzhen didn't know what was going on, and it was a rare honor to be greeted by the two generals in person, and the two looked at each other and understood it.

In the big tent, Yu Zhongwen wanted to know the situation of the two, even if they didn't fight in the enemy's hinterland, they couldn't support it for so long, and they didn't know how the two of them did it.

"Tell me about your situation."

At this time, Wei Wenxuan did not fight for credit, he was the general of the right military guard, and there were more soldiers and horses than the right leader, so he naturally had to explain.

"This battle is thanks to General Li's precautionary measures, carrying five times as much grain and grass before departure, plus the capture in the enemy's hinterland, barely supporting the return."

"Five times as much grain?" Yu Zhongwen frowned, the supply of grain and grass was counted, how could the two of them have five times more grain and grass, he didn't even know about this.

Yu Wenshu is in charge of the overall situation, and he knows the allocation of materials, and he has never heard of such a thing, thinking that if the distribution of grain and grass is uneven, good things will become bad things.

Wei Wenshu had already been prepared, so he said that when the two of them took out their homes to buy and raise grain and grass, it did not affect Yuwenshu's transfer of grain and grass, and it was completely private.

"Well-thought-out, you're doing a good job, what about 20,000 horses?" Yu Wenshu asked again.

Wei Wenzhen explained again that many soldiers and horses had entered the hinterland, and after they were defeated, they met by chance, so they continued to fight with the two.

The matter was explained clearly, and it was really surprising to see the record of the two.

"Fighting alone, hard work." Yu Zhongwen said.

The war is not useless, the two of them have the bottom in their hearts, at least when they report to His Majesty, they can still show their merits, Yu Zhongwen smiled, because the two of them are his subordinates, so he naturally has a share of the main general.

Yu Wenshu really didn't get the light, all he could do was to make some articles about this matter.

Emperor Yang of Sui's decree for the withdrawal of troops had been issued, and the months of conquest had come to an end.

In the end, the number of soldiers and horses who returned to Chang'an City was about 20,000.

The army was defeated, and the soldiers and horses returning on the streets of Chang'an City were very low-key, and the people with families came back when they learned about it, and these people were basically heartbroken.

There are only 20,000 people whose families can come back to reunite, so how can people not be sad and sad.

For a while, the atmosphere in Chang'an City was gloomy, and many generals' mansions were already in charge of the future generations.

Emperor Yang of Sui saw the returning generals, and those who should be rewarded kept a low profile, and when it came time for Li An and Wei Wenxing, they were rewarded with a lot of money.

In the promotion, they can only be knighted, but the two of them have outstanding military achievements, and the victories are all small merits, and being able to reward some money is already considered the emperor's belly.

The two of them did not fight for success, their faces were calm, they already knew in their hearts that this was the case, and they were all glad that they could return safely, but they didn't dare to expect too much.

Emperor Yang of Sui didn't have a good impression of the Li family, but when he saw Li An, he remembered Li De, he didn't give himself face at the beginning, if it weren't for Li An's real achievements, he really didn't want to be rewarded.

After sending the two away, they began to continue to deal with government affairs.

As a result, Liu Shilong was beheaded, Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others were taken off their titles and turned white, which directly affected the descendants of later generations, and the matter was over, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with Emperor Yang of Sui at this time.

No one mentions it anymore.

seems to be a bland treatment, but there are intricate movements behind it, and Yu Wenshi and his wife Princess Nanyang made a lot of effort to save their father-in-law.

Yu Wenhua and even more have been prepared for a long time, presiding over the construction of the Eastern Capital to take the lead in donating materials and money, and all of them were used at a critical time.

Emperor Yang of Sui saw it in his eyes, and the final punishment was still heavier, without considering that he was the commander-in-chief of the battle, and among the many reasons for the failure, his problem was the greatest, but no one dared to raise it in person, and he didn't have any points in his heart, which made people take the blame and be ruthless.

Let the courtiers around you think what they think.

When Yu Wenshu returned home, he was in a difficult mood, and the battle had no merit and affected the family, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is very calculating, and he has used the excuse to weaken our forces, and my son must not be guarded against."

Yu Wenhua also knew that Emperor Yang of Sui was not kind, and he tried his best to suppress and beware of the Yuwen family that had always supported him, how could he let the courtiers assist with peace of mind.

"Father, don't be angry, now my son Yuwen Chengdu is in charge of the garrison of the eastern capital, and after the capital is moved, the power will be in his hands, and the time will be ......."

Yu Wenhua wanted to continue, but was stopped by Yu Wenshu in time.

"You can't take it lightly, you all think that the Yuwen family is his henchman, and now that the original form is revealed, you can't help but plan for the family." Yuwen recounted.
