Xue Yantuo's situation is similar to that of the Turks. As long as they defeat their warriors, all the resources will become the trophy of the winner.

It is precisely because of this tradition that Li Yuanji brought his captives back to work as workers, and the seized war horses can make up for the damage.

There were also a large amount of cattle and sheep supplies, all brought back to Shuofang.

Since Li Yuanji went to war, Cui Hao has been working on the city wall every day. Because he doesn't understand the matter of guarding the city, he knows that he can find problems on the city wall as soon as possible.

So he did things on the city wall every day, and his fame has also increased over such a long time. Everyone knows that there is a capable man named Cui Hao next to His Highness King Qi.

This feeling is very good for Cui Hao. The feeling of some people's praise does not make him lose himself, but instead makes him work hard to develop Shuofang better.

What he wants is not a city land.

Cavalry figures appeared in the distance. When they saw the flag of King Qi, they all felt relieved. They should know that there were only a few soldiers on the city wall who were responsible for holding the city gate.

Most of the patrol people are dressed as ordinary people, wearing armor and walking on the city walls, like patrolling.

Cui Hao’s method is to bet.

He felt relieved when he saw the flag of King Qi. If he really found out that the enemy would probably be to cover up his eyes and the second move would be to make a real empty city strategy.

Li Yuanji was really triumphant, with 3,000 captives, 5,000 horses seized, nearly 15,000 people of Xueyantuo, 2,000 cattle, 6,000 sheep, and hundreds of camels, and 30 chariots.

The fine and soft things come from seizing this tribe. Three thousand prisoners of war are all combat-captured. Ten thousand people are actually hard work, and they belong entirely to Li Yuanji.

When Cui Hao saw the materials he had counted, he realized that he had made money by going to the battle. The value of five thousand horses was enough for him to work hard for a year or two.

In addition to cattle and sheep, as well as the seized soldiers and armor, they immediately earned back all the expenses, including capital and profit.

At this time, Cui Hao also understood why King Qi kept asking him to use all his ways to buy war horses, and now he knew.

Judging from Li Yuanji's attitude, there have been some psychological changes. He thought that he was a general who only knew how to fight and kill. Who would have thought that he was a capable person?

After such a long time of contact, Cui Hao has some understanding of Li Yuanji, but the more he understands, the more he finds that the Li family has emerged.

I used to only hear about Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but who would have thought that Li Yuanji's ability to not show off and not leak water is equally outstanding.

If we can get the support of the Li family, the support of the Tang Dynasty may not fail to achieve success.

When Cui Hao was investigating and understanding the situation of the Li family, he investigated all the children of the Li family. He came to the Shuofang because it was more suitable for his starting point.

Today, His Highness King Qi really brought him surprises. After this incident, he discovered that it was not enough to develop business.

Since he had already had a feud with Xue Yantuo, he would continue, but he also began to worry.

Li Yuanji returned to the general's mansion, and Cui Hao had to report to the King of Qi when he followed this period of time.

"Congratulations to King Qi for his victory in the flag, and the development of Shuofang will be better with these materials."

Now he is left to him to handle money. The delegating power of King Qi is very satisfied with him, and he will not be restrained when displaying his talents.

"Haha, let me know what supplies to reward the soldiers."

Cui Hao knew this was a must, so he immediately responded. Rewarding the soldiers was to make extra meals to improve the food and pay more beef and mutton.

"His Royal Highness of Qi, will this expedition attract Xueyantuo's troops to send troops to attack?"

Cui Hao said something worried in his heart, which was intended to remind him.

Of course Li Yuanji knew, but he needed such a victory. As for Xueyantuo's tribe, he had to choose to resist.

With 50,000 cavalry confidence, it is enough to withdraw to Luoyang even if it cannot be defeated. Why is it not Chang'an? The meaning of this is different.

If his father Chang'an directly brought 50,000 cavalrymen back to Chang'an, he would definitely be held accountable, and his situation would be very embarrassing.

The biggest possibility is to ask him to send troops, but can he hand over the military power? The capital to settle down cannot be handed over.

Going directly to Luoyang means going to join his elder brother. With the relationship between the two brothers, he will definitely accept him. Of course, he may value his 50,000 cavalry more.

But the difference is that his elder brother won’t care about his troops and horses, which will only make him a great helper. If it really comes to the time he wants to choose, he will go to Luoyang.

In fact, in his mind, going to Luoyang is not the first choice, but Youzhou is his first choice. I want to say why he brought 50,000 troops to Youzhou.

Don’t forget that his sister Li Xiuning is the wife of the Grand Governor. Although the positions of both sides are different, as long as he is willing to defect to, he can naturally live better.

He knew that Li De was a man who was a virtuous person and did not avoid relatives, and he could hold important positions as long as he had the ability.

It should be possible to be a captain in Youzhou with his ability, but of course he would choose to start with the captain.

Don’t think that the lieutenant has a small position, so it is divided into places. The biggest in Youzhou is naturally the Grand Commander, the senior general of the military general is the Chief Commander, and the intermediate general is the Chief Commander.

This arrangement is also determined based on the specific circumstances of the vanguard, and there are not so many official positions, but it is faster in the management of soldiers.

Like the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, there are many positions for military generals, and there are also many civilians among military generals.

Li Yuanji was just thinking about these things. If he really wanted to make a choice, he would judge based on the situation. It was not that time yet.

"Send someone to Chang'an tomorrow to deliver the letter."

Li Yuanji continued to arrange it, but Cui Hao could not know what happened.

According to his plan, he used the Xueyantuo tribe to seize the merchants of the Western Regions and threaten the safety of Shuofang from time to time, and needed to send more troops to garrison.

It doesn't matter if Li Yuanji couldn't find anyone and asked the court to send someone. If the 600,000 new recruits were not trained, they would have no combat power at all.

This is also the reason why his father was willing to command so many troops for him when defending Shangzhou.

No matter how many soldiers have no combat power, it is unintentional to ordinary people. In order to hold Shuofang to prevent barbarian invasion, his father would definitely send someone to come.

The situation in the Tang State was very bad, with Youzhou threats inside, and Li Shimin from Wagang wanted to compete for the position of prince. Tuyuhun's vanguard soldiers and Zhang's troops were both very threatening to the Tang State.

In addition, the frequent robbery of Xueyantuo's troops on the Western Regions trade routes was sending out a bad signal.

With this matter, it is the condition for his rise in Shuofang.

The next day, Li Yuanji sent someone back to Chang'an, and within a day, the caravan sent by the Tang Kingdom to the Western Regions was welcomed.

For this reason, Li Yuanji personally met with the head of the caravan to fulfill the obligations of the border guards and provide some information and help to the caravan.
