The caravan quickly rushed back to Youzhou City according to this plan, and after two days of travel, it was basically safe to be sure, and then there was time to rest.

After resting for most of the day, they hurried again, everyone's mood was completely different, and the danger of digging out the enemy's area was already very small, and it took three more days to reach the border of Youzhou, and as a result, they encountered a horse thief of nearly 1,000 people.

"Governor, there are three times as many horse thieves ahead as we are." Shi Huaiyi said.

"Prepare for battle!" Li De didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered.

The goods are not very important to him at all, they are all cavalry that can't run away, and there is hope for them to fight if they see death as home.

Li De thought about it before making his choice, there could be horse thieves of this scale in Nari near Youzhou City, and if the Turkic cavalry appeared near Youzhou, it would be impossible not to alarm the vanguard of Youzhou City.

The current situation, looking at the dress on the other side, shows that it does not look like a Turkic cavalry at all, and he guesses that the biggest possibility is that the horse thieves have gathered to loot the passing merchants.

It's a pity they met the wrong person.

He Bida, Shi Huaiyi, Luo Tong and others were suffocated, and they were angry when they were in Fancheng, especially He Bida had long wanted to find a place to vent to relieve the depression in his heart.

The horse thieves came to the door and instantly provoked their anger.

"The guards charge with me!"

Protecting the goods, they will not care, after all, it is not a real caravan, there is no such awareness.

As a result, the personal guards of nearly 300 people all turned into soldiers who charged into battle, forming a cavalry formation and preparing to charge.

Li De led people to guard the goods, in fact, with the help of carriages as a cover, so that the archers could play their skills, and the war was about to break out.

The arrows on both sides were overwhelming.

The charging horse thieves saw that their target did not run but chose to resist, arousing the ferocity of the horse thieves to plunder, and they were not merciless at all.

"They are wearing armor that can resist arrows."

One of the horse thieves immediately shouted when they found out that the situation was wrong, but before they could finish speaking, they were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and in half a column of incense, the casualties of the horse thieves began to increase rapidly.

When the two sides fought, the horse thieves attacked like a hard fist against a wall that was harder than them.

"Kill!" He Bida and the other brave warriors were really brave, and no one around them dared to get close.

At the back of the horse thieves, Liu Wuzhou was surrounded by many guards, and after they left Youzhou, in order to be able to support their generals to continue to live happily, they started to buy and sell plundering caravans.

Today is the first time they don't care at all, usually it is appropriate to lead people to rush over and scare people away, and those who did not escape in time are all arrested and developed into their soldiers.

As a result, after Dou Jiande sent people to send letters back to his hometown, many people were deployed, and their stall as horse thieves became bigger and bigger, and in just three months, it developed into nearly 1,000 people now.

"General, it's not good, the combat effectiveness of the other party's caravan escort is too strong, and our brothers have encountered hard stubble, and they have been seriously injured and wounded."

"All of them are dressed in armor, and they use weapons and are not of great quality, and if they continue like this, they will die completely." Said the soldier who reported the news.

"Ah, go find out." Liu Wuzhou sent his henchmen over.

The guards who said that they were thousands of centaurs and thieves actually had some combat effectiveness were all taken by Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou, and the looting was handed over to the people they thought were cannon fodder.

Hearing about the loss of personnel, Liu Wuzhou was in a very bad mood, and these people who were finally re-recruited, if they were all exhausted, they would have to start all over again.

"General, it's really not a good thing, our target this time is the vanguard governor." Cronies preached the sermon.

"Ah, what now?" Liu Wuzhou muttered.

"General, they don't know who we are, and they will definitely not pursue if we withdraw now." The cronies reminded.

"Okay, hurry up and get people out."

Liu Wuzhou was most afraid that Li Dehui would chase them, so he took the people to leave first after giving the order.

In three months, he had just given himself the title of a general under the pursuit of everyone, and now he was directly beaten back to his original form by Li De, who suddenly appeared.

I heard that there were only more than 500 brothers who came back, and half of them were broken, and it made him feel distressed to think about it.

After meeting with Dou Jiande's people, he told the matter, Dou Jiande was about to be angry with this Liu Wuzhou, and the matter of plundering the caravan was not a long-term solution, after all, how many caravans could be hijacked in such a desolate place.

Now I met Li De who was returning, and he also provoked Li Dudu, who wanted to find out that this was done by them, and Li De would know when he returned to Youzhou City.

"We can't stay here in Youzhou, now we can take people away immediately and there is still hope for survival, otherwise when the vanguard really comes, we will all bury our lives in vain." Dou Jiande said calmly.

"General Dou, whatever you say is what you say, I listen to you."

Liu Wuzhou was not in the mood this time, he knew that he was really in trouble, and whoever became Li De would appear.

"Without further ado, let's leave now." Dou Jiande said decisively.

It is not for nothing that Dou Jiande chose to leave, although there are not many caravans here in Youzhou, but Youzhou City has developed very well in the past few months, and there are some caravans from various state capitals, so they have made a lot of money.

They knew that the vanguard would not let them go, so they ran directly outside the border into the Modong area, and today they warmed up the matter and decided to leave and go back to his hometown.

Dou Jiande thought very simply, wait until he goes back to develop and re-recruit warriors before making plans.

After the governor of the vanguard returns, he will definitely not let them go, after all, the task of the vanguard is to suppress bandits, and with their understanding of Li De and the vanguard, with their current strength, they cannot compete with them at all.

Besides, on Li De's side, after a battle, he thought that the other party had withdrawn and won the victory, and after collecting the spoils, he found that these people were really too poor and had no reason.

The exploits of hundreds of people in suppressing bandits have become valued by the famous captains, and they will send their personal guards to collect all the evidence of their exploits, and when they report to the military department after they go back, they will inevitably be rewarded.

Youzhou City, after more than three months of development, there are more people coming and going at the door, and vehicles coming and going are entering and exiting in an orderly manner.

Li De walked out of the carriage and saw the gate of Youzhou City, and was moved.

"It's finally back!"

The guard on the city wall is Luo Yi, he was elevated before, and under the management of Pei Qingxuan, Luo Yi was allowed to patrol the city wall, which was regarded as the supervision of the soldiers and horses guarding the city.

His eyes were very good, and besides, the sudden caravan was slowly approaching, and it was naturally easy to be spotted.

"The Governor is back, go and inform Captain Pei." Gao Cheng directly ordered the guards around him at the gate of the city.

"Yes!" The guards rode towards the governor's mansion.
