Red Peony's spies were among them, and although it was dangerous, they did exactly that, and they successfully returned through the third batch of transports to report the situation back to the city.

"Do you think they can really succeed?" Hebida asked.

This kind of thing is really hard to say, anything can happen on the battlefield, Li De doesn't know that the victory or defeat can only be analyzed through the current situation, and the winning rate is not large.

If Yuwen Chengdu personally led the troops, perhaps the victory rate would be higher.

Regardless of whether Yuwen Chengdu is unruly or not, he is a good hand at leading troops to fight, and Emperor Yang of Sui's cavalry guards are all brave and good at fighting, if they are willing to send out, maybe the results of the previous two battles may be different.

Now the leader of the troops is Laihu'er, a general who is good at water warfare, but since he led Penglai 30,000 soldiers and horses to support the general, he was directly appointed after driving the Turks out of Yanmen Pass, and he became the chief general of the three expeditions to Goryeo without resting halfway.

The official worships the first brother of the military general, and now he is in charge of 300,000 soldiers and horses, but they have no contact with each other, and most of the food purchases are arranged by Lu Fulin and Liu Xuanli of the mission.

It doesn't matter that 300,000 soldiers and horses will not affect the plans of the vanguard.

According to the current intelligence, the vanguard soldiers and horses of Laihu'er have landed on the shore, and 30,000 soldiers and horses have held several waves of enemy attacks, but after all, they are fighting on the enemy's land, and there is no geographical advantage.

When it took time for the ships to go back and forth, although they arrived with a group of soldiers and horses the next day, and the number of soldiers and horses that seemed to be strong and strong actually reached 100,000, the food began to run out.

The generals who commanded the troops and horses knew the importance of food, so when they counted the supplies, they realized that if they did not give priority to transporting a large amount of food, they could only support it for less than half a month.

They are in the hinterland of the enemy, and the generals are terrified, it is impossible to say that they are not afraid, and they attach great importance to grain and grass, and there is no way to retreat if they want to retreat because of the sea behind them.

is the same as Li De thought, it is equivalent to a battle against the water, it is not good to stand on his heels, he can't always defend, the best offense is defense.

The vanguard knew this very well, so everything was based on progress.

Just when Li De and others were studying the matter, suddenly the spies sent back the news, and several people's faces sank after reading it.

The situation is very bad, 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Sui State have arrived on the shore, and after gathering so many soldiers and horses, Laihu'er did not wait for the transportation of materials to make plans, but directly chose to take 100,000 soldiers and horses directly to kill the Goryeo soldiers and horses.

In the big battle, the speed of the attack was very fast, and the enemy killed was to throw away his armor and travel directly for thirty miles in one day, which was a day's journey in a carriage.

The momentum is of course very good, but the logistics supply itself is not much, and what they carry can last for more than ten days, and as a result, the front-line battle has been advancing, and they may have forgotten their supplies.

When there was a real shortage of food, I remembered the matter of logistics supplies, so the people who carried heavy logistics supplies escorted grain and grass along the way, but they were suddenly attacked by Goryeo soldiers and horses, and a large amount of grain and grass was directly burned.

As a result, many people were hungry, and then the generals ordered to return the way they came, and their camp still had a stockpile of food, thinking that they would be able to get supplies when they got there, and then continue the battle.

After a few days, they found that the food in the camp was very scarce, although there were no starving people, but the generals still adopted the method of limited distribution to reduce the consumption of food, and they all waited for the 200,000 soldiers and horses to transport the food.

Fortunately, the 30,000 soldiers and horses who arrived in the new country were all distributed to keep them out for two days, but after two days, no one knew what would happen.

They themselves are not without a way, fishing, hunting, but where can the food and drink of 100,000 people be satisfied in this way, fishing is theoretically possible, but at least mainly enough fishing boats.

They have fishing boats, but they are not numerous enough to meet their needs, and most of them are used to transport food.

At this time, outside the gate of the military city, Lu Fulin and Liu Xuanli of the mission wanted to see Li De.

"Let them in."

Li De was looking at the latest map, he had a lot of things to do lately, and when he heard that the people from the mission were coming, he would gradually see what they wanted to say.

"Grand Duke, we're here for help." Lu Fulin said as soon as he came in.

"Oh? You can talk about it, but you may not be able to help much. Li Dedao.

Lu Fulin and Liu Xuanli glanced at each other, the meaning was self-evident, they must have said something unspeakable, and in the end, under the eye "contact" between the two, it was Lu Fulin who opened his mouth.

"Dadu Governor, the war ahead is tense, we need food, but the soldiers of the imperial court did not faint in time, can it help us owe some food on credit first, we can set up a document to prove it."

Li De looked at the two of them, one Honglu Siqing and the other soldier of the military department, both of them are important figures, they have official positions and the right to speak, and if they want to owe food on credit, it stands to reason that they may change to other shops to sell face.

But Li De was unmoved.

"If you want food, you need to trade, so now what we said is still valid, as long as His Majesty accepts the grain, you can take it away at any time." Li Dedao.

Liu Xuanli secretly thought that the two conditions were either the distribution of benefits after success, or the governance rights of Goryeo and other places, and they could not be the masters of either of them.

But the battle of the striker has really reached a critical juncture, the lack of food is enough for 100,000 soldiers and horses to be buried in a foreign land, Liu Xuanli does not want to see such a thing happen, and wants to use some way to solve it, but after thinking about it, he really has no choice.

Li De saw that the two of them were embarrassed that they had no way at all, in fact, they really couldn't solve this kind of thing, even Emperor Yang of Sui might have to think about it for a long time, and it seemed a little difficult for them to talk to these two people.

A condition is a condition, and since it has been proposed, there is no other way than to talk about it.

"Otherwise, I'm giving you a third choice, we can exchange food for people, you now have 300,000 soldiers and horses, I can be the master of exchanging one person for enough food for one month, what do you think, of course, you'd better explain it to Your Majesty, see what he thinks."

Li De finally said the purpose, there is no shortage of food in the city, but there is a shortage of people, rather than letting these soldiers die in a foreign land and unwinnable battles, it is better to pull these people into his command first.

The two messengers knew that it would not be easy to stay for a long time, and they had to send the news back as soon as possible, and one of them exchanged it for a month's grain, which they had never done.

They all looked confused, and they felt that their emperor was still in charge of the headaches, and as for the soldiers who crossed the sea, they could only let them insist.
