Chapter 361 Arrive at Yanmen
This is how the generals are. When the atmosphere is low, they will use other things instead. The casualties will make them sad, and their military achievements will boost morale.
It makes people not think about things that are concerned about.
"The brothers who died in battle will receive pensions from the logistics guards of the Pioneer Army, and those who have children in the family will receive assistance. I here promise that all soldiers of the Pioneer Army will receive pensions due to death. Even if the flag of the Pioneer Army no longer exists, as long as I live, your family will have no worries."
Li De amplified his voice when he spoke to the commander. The soldiers heard it, and his morale was restored in a dull state. He served as a soldier and earned food and earned military merits. Now their governor promised each of them was touching.
He is even more willing to work hard and devote himself to his work.
The hearts of people are gathered together. After this battle, the fierce soldiers are really forged. How terrifying are all soldiers who are not afraid of death.
The Turkic cavalry returned to the rescue and found Huhad. The two thousand men he led were less than one hundred men left. In order to save himself, he chose to escape. The more than 3,000 people in the remaining vassal tribe could not compete with their opponents, so he had no choice but to run with him.
It is a blessing in disguise that a large amount of materials have been lost, but people can be preserved.
Huhard finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news of General Utomon's death. For this reason, he would not have to take the blame and would have no worries about his life.
They thought about continuing to pursue and regaining their reputation as warriors, but objective circumstances did not allow it, so more than 20,000 people completely left the border of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Li De and others rushed to meet with the people led by Pei Qingxuan at Yanmen Pass.
Outside Yanmen City, the flags of the vanguard soldiers fluttered in the wind, and there were 20,000 troops stationed in the dangerous areas of the border. In fact, when fighting against the Turks, the number of troops was still insufficient.
The arrival of the vanguard soldiers was valued by the generals stationed in Yanmen City, but they suffered a little in material support because they did not have any surplus food either.
But this was not a problem for Pei Qingxuan. On the day of arrival, in addition to establishing a barracks outside the city, Li Xiuning, Princess Yu and others brought their goods to Yanmen City to do business with local wealthy merchants.
The best cattle and sheep, fur, and some Turkish handicrafts were exchanged for some money in one day, which relieved the pressure on their material transportation.
The grain and grass were purchased directly from the grain merchants with money, which was very smooth.
By the time Li De brought his men to arrive, the barracks outside Yanmen City had already begun to take shape, and under the leadership of Pei Qingxuan, they also recruited 500 soldiers from the palace.
It is actually a normal sign that the soldiers of the palace are all here. They want to make up for their hometowns after returning to Chang'an. They can first register within the vanguard. It is reasonable to have a seal from the guards of Yanmen City.
Pei Qingxuan and others were all people with long-term plans. The new soldiers recruited were all followed by them to Youzhou. They were not the responsibility of training troops, but directly recruited and supplemented to the vanguard soldiers.
I don’t know how much losses will be in this battle. They dared to go all the way and knew that the shortage of people was the weakness of the vanguard soldiers. If they wanted to change, they would inevitably recruit new soldiers. It just so happened that it was not easy for Yanmen to recruit soldiers of their hometowns. So they simply came up with this method to give the strong men a chance.
It took some methods to recruit 500 people, and the age was generally slightly lower. It was not easy to fight at the border for many years.
The guards of Yanmen City are all very supportive. In fact, what they lack is not people, but soldiers who can go to battle to kill the enemy. In addition, they do not have the authority to vanguard soldiers and do not have the capital to recruit.
Five hundred people said that there were no more or less, and that it would cost a lot of money to buy weapons. The generals of Yanmen City could not afford so much money.
Pei Qingxuan asked the blacksmiths to improve the seized armor and use it for use. It didn't cost much. The food was a bit tight, but food was not a problem under the silver and money offensive.
雁门粮商拿不出来,就进货好了.
The people led by Li De successfully entered the barracks. As soon as the road was on, several female lieutenants handed over to the tent of the chief general. Seeing this posture, the other lieutenants were only envious.
"The governor is really a master. Have you noticed that Princess Yu looked at our governor's eyes as if he was in love. If he could win over the old prince, maybe we could also benefit from it." Wei Li envied.
"You've read it wrong. Why didn't I notice that Princess Jade's eyes are abnormal?" Luo Song said in confusion.
"You know how to practice martial arts, and how can you understand the love between children? Let me teach you." Wei Li said, then put on his usual playboy style, wanting to go over and talk with him.
Luo Song didn't take his tricks at all, so he just avoided it and didn't continue to take it on, so he went to rest directly. They were really tired along the way.
“我也回去休息.”史怀义跟着说道.
The guard just got some gossip, but no one gave him face. Seeing several lieutenants leaving one after another, the remaining Ding Qilin, who seemed to be quite interested.
Wei Li saw that this kind of thing should not be told well to the child, so he turned around and left.
At this time, Ding Qilin was not interested in the topic Wei Li said. He was always looking at the new recruits who were training not far away. If the number of vanguard troops was enough, they could be divided into the Turks.
Moreover, he was summarizing this battle that the seemingly victory did not actually seriously damage the enemy's vitality. Replenishing supplies to the Turks would continue to harass the border.
At the same time, he also realized the advantages of strategy. He thought that he should not act recklessly in future battles. Using his brain will increase the possibility of victory and make the soldiers sacrifice less.
In the main tent of the barracks, the cold women who usually acted in front of the soldiers first had some concerns and found out that Li De was not injured before he was relieved.
Then I wanted to know what happened after they left.
Li De told them about the specific matters and took less than half an hour to explain the situation. Li Xiuning next to them was also recording them, and these matters needed to be presented to the Ministry of War.
The details cannot be pulled down. After completing the inspection, it will take several times before someone can send the battle report back to Chang'an. They will not forget the matter of asking for merit.
"Husband, the vanguard soldier suffered a lot this time. It will take at least half a month for the injured to be treated and recuperated. The seriously injured are no longer suitable to continue. They can only temporarily stay in Yanmen City to rest. When the injury is healed, they will return to Chang'an. The medical expenses will increase a lot." Li Xiuning said.
"Soldiers need to be treated with pensions. Our people have to be separated to take care of the injured soldiers and handle various affairs. The money can be handled, but manpower is really a problem." Li Xiuning continued.
Li De thought for a while and said, "Look at this, let's hire some people in the barracks to take care of the patients and give them wages and food, so the manpower will be solved."
“好,我去安排.”李秀宁道.
