The Xiao family bought war horses, but they had to come to the surface when they were just in need, and the number of purchases seemed to be small, but in fact, they made people buy a large number of ordinary horses.

They thought it was seamless in the way that the merchants bought it in batches, but in fact the people of the red peony had already recognized them.

Li De didn't stop it because he didn't want to be unhappy with those big families at this time.

Then there is the number of horses that can be found out to the bottom of the other party.

The price of ordinary horses is not much cheaper than that of war horses.

Ordinary war horses can become war horses after careful feeding and training.

Being able to buy thousands of horses at a time, can the Xiao family use it to drive cattle and horses, or to set up a fleet of transport horses?

No matter what they use to buy horses, Li De will not suffer losses, and the purpose is to earn money.

At the same time, the Xiao family has already come out, and it is impossible to hide behind it.

While he was thinking about something, the voice of the guards came from outside the barracks.

"Governor, there's a battle report from the north."

Li De took the letter, and the lieutenants in the house were very curious, wanting to know the situation of the millions of soldiers and horses.

"In the Battle of Sasu, Goryeo united with Silla Baekje and annihilated millions of soldiers and horses with water......

After reading it, Li De will hand it to the lieutenants for circulation.

The terrain of Sashui was already complicated, and the Goryeo soldiers and horses pretended to retreat, luring the Sui soldiers and horses into the land of Sashui, and then destroying the Sashui dam at a certain price, but submerged a million male soldiers.

"Hmph, what kind of battle are you fighting, the generals are incapable of pulling so many innocent lives, it's really annoying to me!" Shi Huaiyi said angrily.

"Calm down, didn't it say in the letter, there are many reasons for the defeat, the most important thing is that the logistics supply is cut off, which leads to the trapped Sashui, and the top priority is to bring back the living people as much as possible."

"Governor, let me go." Shi Huaiyi said.

"Give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and bring all the people who fled along the way back to Youzhou." Li Dedao.

"Yes."

"He Bida, you led 20,000 troops to Sashui, and you can save one more." Li Dedao.

"Yes."

Hebida has a new mission, don't look at the small number of people, but they are all elite.

Li De sent them out not to fight, but mainly to save people, and they needed to carry a lot of supplies.

That night, the vanguard began to arrange, assemble, and mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the speed was very fast, and the carriages of the logistical baggage troops were always on standby.

Ten thousand people will be transported together with a very high efficiency, and the next afternoon, He Bida and Shi Huaiyi set off.

The two of them had different tasks, one was to rush to the Sashui area, and the other was to search for the people who were responsible for transporting supplies along the way.

In the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangling, the atmosphere was very tense, millions of soldiers and horses were burned, and the whole army that was flooded by people's water attacks was annihilated, and Emperor Yang of Sui was under great pressure.

Millions of soldiers and horses, how many Sui men were buried here, the condemnation of the Guanlong nobles, and the discussions of the court officials made him walk on thin ice.

Now Emperor Yang of Sui doesn't know what to do, the soldiers and horses are no longer recruited, and the feeling of being powerless to return to heaven makes his consciousness a little depressed.

At this time, the old man whispered beside Emperor Yang of Sui: "Your Majesty, the secret agent from Youzhou has reported that the vanguard has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses and has gone north, and the purpose is unknown. ”

"Vanguards, what are they going to do?"

Emperor Yang of Sui was puzzled, and it didn't take long to think of a key, if it was replaced, he would definitely not miss such an opportunity to recruit a large number of soldiers and horses.

"Youzhou soldiers, sooner or later, they will become a big problem." Emperor Yang of Sui knew it very well in his heart, but what could he do.

"I'm tired of being alone, so let's all step down."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty let people leave, his demeanor was very depressed, millions of soldiers and horses are not the heritage of the Sui Kingdom, and it takes a certain psychological endurance to lose it like this.

Although he understood many things, he could not do more at this time.

If he was in the Eastern Capital, maybe he still had some way, and the soldiers and horses accompanying him could not be mobilized at this time.

After Yuwen Chengdu was transferred to Emperor Yang of Sui, he became the emperor's loyal bodyguard.

Contrary to the ease he had at Shuofang, this kind of role-changing game made him uncomfortable.

The situation of millions of soldiers and horses trapped in Sashui is unknown, and they should be rescued at this time, but the emperor did nothing.

He thought about reminding the emperor, but before he could speak, everyone retreated, and the emperor was already resting.

Yuwen Chengdu is in a hurry, and he can't touch his head at this time.

In many cases, what civilian officials can do is not what they military attachés can't do, and they are anxious to see what they do.

The Sasui area was in shambles.

Hebida was desolate all the way, and even no one could see him, there were no living people in the original barracks, not a single grain of rice was left, it was empty and silent, and it felt very bad.

"Captain, I have searched for it, but I haven't found anyone."

The soldiers had rummaged through it three times, and Hebida had seen it.

"Gather the soldiers and horses and divide them into twenty roads, and look for them separately." Hebida ordered.

20,000 people are 500 per passerby, why not 1,000, because 10,000 people have to keep guarding supplies.

It just didn't need to build a barracks, and the housekeeping was deployed on the spot, which saved a lot of time.

The search was a long process, and a large number of supplies had been delivered from Youzhou City in two months.

At the same time, it also brought in 5,000 laborers to build a barracks in Liaoshui.

The kiln provided a large amount of cement and bricks for the barracks, which accelerated the defense of the barracks.

The 20,000-strong search team also found many people who helped them in times of crisis, a gratitude that no one else could appreciate.

All the rescued soldiers joined the vanguard, and the barracks increased from 20,000 to 50,000.

Youzhou's frontier military city in the Liaoshui region can be regarded as forming.

Shi Huaiyi's harvest was even greater, and the people who fled along the way were all hidden, and when they were found, most of them were hundreds of thousands of people, adding 100,000 people to Youzhou in just a few months.

The population was transferred to the main state capitals of the sixteen states of the Thistle, according to the same system of land production.

Although the new arrivals did not catch up with the spring planting, they can still reclaim the land next year.

The people who did not catch up were all driven by the government to work and earn wages for their labor.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the autumn harvest season, but fortunately, there was no famine year, and the field crops were growing very well.

"Our family's fields have a bumper harvest this year, and the autumn harvest is coming soon, and when the grain is sold, we can buy a horse-drawn cart and follow the baggage soldiers out to engage in transportation, and then our family's life will get better and better."

"It's all the Metropolitan Governor who has a good way of governance, you have to make more efforts, as long as there is a Metropolitan Governor in our days, there is hope, and tomorrow I will set up a longevity card for the Metropolitan Governor."

Few people know about the conversations in the people's homes, but the people in Youzhou City are in a similar situation at home, and they are grateful to Li De.

I am glad to be able to live in Youzhou.

The grain merchants in Youzhou City have been waiting for a long time, and when the volume comes, they also carry a large amount of materials to Youzhou and sell them.

Just in time to go back and take the food with you.
