Chapter 650: Transporting the Spoils of War

Yuwen Chengdu and the soldiers and horses originally they didn't find out, but when they went in a new direction, they suddenly met a few locals on the road, and wanted people to arrest and ask.

Before the people passed, the other party saw them and started running, but if they didn't run, they knew that there must be a problem, and in order to find their target, Yuwen Chengdu led people to start pursuing.

The speed of the cavalry is incomparable to that of manpower, but even in this way, the opponent almost escaped the pursuit when he cut a short path directly in the woods.

How could the Horsemen give them such an opportunity, but they had already seen the village when they found them, and to their surprise, it was not as peaceful as they had seen in the past few days.

On the contrary, he found a lot of people with weapons in the village, and Yuwen Chengdu saw that he had already figured it out, and these people were soldiers at first glance.

So he ordered the extermination to begin, and to his surprise, these people were delayed for a long time with the help of the construction of the houses, and then the village was empty.

Just as they were about to destroy the enemy, they saw the wolf smoke on the shore.

At this time, the cavalry guards continued to pursue, but the results were not good, so he took his men back, and on the way back, he was again attacked by the archers.

Sending scouts to exterminate, but in the end did not pursue the enemy, Yuwen Chengdu realized the cunning of the enemy, and with the advantage of familiarity with the terrain, the few cavalry could not be brought into play.

He didn't have a better way between the mountains and forests, so the time dragged on for a while.

If they succeed according to Sugavin's original plan, they have already finished the battle on the shore by this time, and they will be attacked at this time.

It's a pity that nothing happened.

Su Gaiwen was anxious, and waited for the scout to report that the Sui reinforcements had returned, and then he led people to retreat.

When Yuwen Chengdu came back, the outer wall of the walled city had been destroyed, and he wouldn't have recognized it if it weren't for the main defense.

"Tang Guogong, I was attacked by the enemy on the way, and I came back late."

Yuwen Cheng is an arrogant person, but at this time, he has to explain the matter, if Li Yuan says that he is derelict in his duties, he will be in trouble, this must be explained, otherwise even if he has the support of the Yuwen family, he will not be able to get benefits.

"It's okay if the people are fine, the person who led the troops this time is the general of the Goryeo Kingdom, Su Gaiwen, we exterminated their 10,000 sailors, I think they won't give up, we must take precautions, General Yuwen won't take people out during this time."

Li Yuan said what he meant.

The enemy has realized their strength, and it is not good to make a mistake at this time, so that people will once again use the opportunity of dividing their forces to attack, this time the other party will send so many people, will they send more troops and horses next time.

Now that they are in the environment, he does not dare to bet.

Yuwen Chengdu is also very much in favor of this decision.

"Tang Guogong, although your method is good, sending people out to loot can also reduce the pressure on grain and grass, and dispatching troops and horses can effectively distract the enemy's attention, and the cavalry guards will not give up dispatching."

Yuwen Chengdu suddenly expressed his attitude.

Li Yuan felt that what Yuwen Chengdu said was very reasonable, but considering the overall situation, it was safest to stand still, just seeing the other party's attitude, he knew that he couldn't persuade him.

"General Yuwen, you are not unreasonable, in case the enemy carries out a sneak attack, it is better to be careful." Li Yuan said.

What could he say, he would have known that this would happen, but as a commander-in-chief, he would have been able to unite first, and now the matter was to rebuild the defenses and wait for the next batch of supplies.

After calculating the time, the supplies should be delivered in two days.

The Li family's soldiers and horses exterminated the pirates, but unfortunately they didn't harvest much, and most of the weapons seized were Sui standard equipment, which were harvested a few times before, and now they can be regarded as earning some back.

It's just that these things have become the trophies of the Li family.

"Father, it has been counted, there are more than 10,000 weapons, only 800 sets of armor, and there is no other harvest." Li Jiancheng said.

Li Yuan knew how shabby this group of nominal pirates was, they wanted ships without ships, and they wanted armor without armor.

Although the benefits are less, the credit is more than enough.

Laihu'er came to transport supplies again and heard that there was a victory, and he knew that the credit for this time was indispensable to him, so the decision to let Penglai soldiers come over was the right one.

"Tang Guogong, this time the 30,000 troops are transported, and the rest are all grain."

Laihu'er explained the matter, and when the supplies were unloaded from the ship, he left immediately.

Penglai's latest battle report made Emperor Yang of Sui very happy.

Most of the 600,000 soldiers and horses did not land, but after the good news, they learned that the Goryeo soldiers and horses were attacking and realized that they were not strong enough to defeat the other side, and they had to send more soldiers and horses to defeat the other side.

So in addition to the soldiers and horses recruited by the northwest army and the imperial court, 50,000 people were sent over again, all of whom were soldiers and horses of the princes and generals.

Emperor Yang of Sui didn't plan to send soldiers and horses so quickly, but he couldn't stand it and Hu'er to transport the Li family's spoils back, which made people blush.

Although they are all iron tools, the value of iron tools is enough to benefit people when they see it.

Especially when Li Yuan asked Laihu'er to transport these loot, he still covered it up, which made people even more curious, this time Li Jiancheng came back with the fleet, and secretly publicized the loot.

That's why everyone asked for war.

After Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to leave by boat, he let people continue to build ports and defenses, adding 30,000 soldiers and horses, which made Su Gaiwen lose his temper directly.

Even if you have a temper, you don't have the force to stop it.

For now, the only way to rely on their last few successes is to wait.

He knows very well that the more people, the greater the consumption.

The last time the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Sui State were defeated because of the materials, he immediately thought of this method, so he did not send troops to harass him for the rest of the time.

Su Gavin didn't give up so easily, at this time he had returned to the capital to recruit soldiers and horses, and he could only fight a national war for now.

Use all available resources to recruit the majority of adult men.

When Su Gaiwen was preparing, Li Yuan also made preparations.

Li Yuan didn't just stick to a corner, but the people who were discharged in such a long period of time collected a lot of local information, including the maps of various places were marked.

Helped them with their next steps.

When Laihu'er brought supplies again, there were 20,000 soldiers and horses who came over.

This made Li Yuan a little surprised, according to his requirements, this batch of goods should be transported with supplies, how could there be 20,000 more people.

Laihu'er told him about transporting the Li family's booty.

After Li Yuan found out, he knew that he really couldn't blame others for this matter, because it was all planned by him, but it was very difficult to show it in front of others, and the purpose of making a show was to be a new person at a high speed, and it was very likely that the lack of food would fail because of insufficient food reserves.

Give them a sense of crisis so they can have enough motivation to fight.
