Chapter 441: Calm Thinking

Something happened to Yelu Baotai, and when the night attack occurred, the commanders didn't know what to do, so they could only lead their tribe to protect as much as possible.

It's not that they don't choose to attack, it's that most of their soldiers are in bad shape.

It can be said that there is a weak heart.

Shi Huaiyi and the others led the people to attack at night at a very fast speed, but in fact they did not go deeper, and the fragrance of flowers in the air had not yet dispersed.

They are all covered with a damp cloth is not considered safe, not for a long time, after reaching the goal quickly in the car.

The fires illuminated outside Youzhou City will be clearly visible from afar, and in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night, wood must be collected every day just in case.

Luo Yi has been staying on the city wall, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"General, Captain Sturf has brought someone back."

"Open the gates and strengthen your guard."

The governor's mansion was brightly lit, and during the day, the captains began to repair after returning to Youzhou City with people to fight, and only at night did the captains come to have a meeting.

After every battle, they need to sit together and summarize the situation, not to mention that the barbarian tribes outside Youzhou City have not completely left, and they have not taken it lightly.

"Dudu, first the Turks and now the Northern Barbarians, I think that the soldiers and horses in the city can't fight hard at present, and it may not be a wise choice to defend the city." Hebida said.

"Youzhou City is a barrier, we can't lose it." Li De said.

Silence continued in the Governor's Palace.

At this time, the person in charge of delivering the letter came back and handed the letter directly to Li De.

Li De took a look, Zhang Chuchen, Xiao Mei and they found out about the jade seal, and the thing worth paying attention to is that according to the investigation, the reason why the Turks went south this time is related to the protection of the Chen Dynasty.

What is even more unbelievable is that the news was passed from the Gangneung caravan, and so far the person behind it has not been found, and it is already a real hammer for someone to pass the news with the barbarians.

Dropped the letter straight into the brazier.

Red Peony's message is crucial, and he now has to consider whether to tell the information or not.

"As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and although the captains who are doing it are all from the generals, they really don't know what to do in the face of huge wealth."

Seeing Li De's silence, everyone didn't dare to pant loudly for fear of disturbing their governor.

After thinking about it, he still decided to tell the matter, not to mention how big the interests of the Chen Dynasty were, whether it was really unknown or not, and besides, he was more concerned about someone than the treasure was that someone was working with the Turks, and he must not let such a traitor's plan succeed.

And this matter is related to the defense of Youzhou City, and the stakes are very high.

"The news from Gangneung, things are not so simple." Li De said in a deep voice.

Seeing Li De's face so low and in his mood, the lieutenants knew that things were extraordinary.

"The reason why the Turks went south this time was because of the treasure of the Chen Dynasty, and the news leaked from the Gangneung caravan, and it is impossible to determine whether the news is true or false." Li Dedao.

"The Chen Dynasty guarantees, the Turks will really think that the Empress Chen has been imprisoned, and all the treasures have become trophies." He Bida spoke first.

"Yes, this news is very implausible, I thought it was deliberately released by someone, perhaps to achieve other purposes while the Che Turks were heading south." Shi Huaiyi said.

"Governor, what are you planning, aren't our vanguard short of money, why don't you let me look for it?" Ding Qilin said.

There is no taboo to speak at a young age, the rate is really, and the captains don't mind, this kind of thing can be said by Ding Qilin, and it is not appropriate for others to say it.

And what the captains thought in their hearts was why they didn't keep it for themselves if they really had treasures.

They spent a lot of money on 30,000 soldiers, and the first thing they thought about was to develop the vanguard.

"It's hard to tell whether the treasure is true or false, and we can't speculate as to what someone deliberately wants to achieve by passing on such a message, what is certain is that if the Turks really have the idea of the treasure, then they are bound to go south, which is not conducive to unilateral defense."

He Bida thought about it, and felt that things were really like what Li De said, if the Turks were going to Jiangling, they could bypass Youzhou when they were about to go.

At present, the Turkic attack on Youzhou is most likely to be a cover.

The success or failure of Youzhou didn't matter to them, but if the Turks really went south, they would be out of their hands and the court would have an excuse to remove them all.

"The Turkic 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the later group of Northern Barbarians, we can't go out of the city to take the initiative to attack, there is no possibility of victory." Wei Li said.

He is not very experienced in leading troops to fight, but he is more intelligent than anyone else in settling accounts and matters involving interests.

"The imperial court is really in such a situation, and it doesn't send troops over, Governor, or we just hold Youzhou City, we can't stop them if they want to go south." Wei Xun said.

"That's right, it's not just us who have garrisons in Youzhou City." Elevation echoed the road.

The commanders were well aware of the consequences of letting the Turks go south, and they were guilty of dereliction of duty, but in the current situation, their 30,000 men could not resist a force three times their strength.

Even if it is exhausted, in the end, people don't want to go south, just go south.

If the imperial court does not increase troops, they are helpless.

Fortunately, Li Jiancheng was not there, if he hadn't heard these words, he would definitely be embarrassed, and the imperial court had a holy decree to ask Tang Guogong to recruit 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Now 50,000 soldiers and horses are being recruited, and Tang Guogong only sent 5,000 people to tell what was going on.

In fact, Li Jiancheng is now worried, defeating the Turkic soldiers and horses thinking that he can solve the crisis in Youzhou, who would have thought that the people of the Northern Barbarians would take the opportunity to participate.

The 5,000 soldiers and horses brought by their Li family didn't play a big role at all, so he brought the situation in Youzhou back to Taiyuan quickly.

If Youzhou can't hold it, it will directly affect the Li family.

"General Li, the second son asks to see!"

The people he brought were all soldiers and horses of the Li family, so he had to pay attention to the influence.

"What is Li Shimin doing here with me?"

Li Jiancheng was suspicious in his heart, it was all his own brothers who were not good or not, and the relationship was not good, but the matter of face had to be taken into account.

"Shimin, do you have something to do here?" Li Jiancheng pretended to be busy and said to Li Shimin, who had just come in.

"Big brother, you and I know the situation in Youzhou now, I don't think the imperial court will give up Youzhou City, is there something I don't know?" Li Shimin said directly.

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, it was really not unusual for Li Shimin to be able to guess that he had concealed something, who made the disciples of the Li family excellent.

Regarding the fact that the imperial court had transferred troops to the Li family, it could not be concealed for a long time, and if this kind of thing was deliberately concealed, it would bring a bad impression to the vanguards.

In the future, the relationship between the two families will inevitably be estranged.

After thinking about it, he still told the Li family that he could recruit 50,000 soldiers and horses.

After Li Shimin learned the real situation, he was not as calm as he imagined, but was thinking calmly.
