Chapter 393
The siege of Youzhou has been resolved, and the guards are leaving here. If someone knows that Li De has a strong army, it will be really hard to explain. She doesn't want Li De to be in trouble.
"You forgot that Weili was already contacting the merchant and selling the trophy into money, it would take some time."
The excuses Li De helped find are really unmatched.
Pei Qingxuan was personally responsible for the lime burning project, and soon a siege was built on Jianshan Mountain. Pei Yuantong and Pei Yuanqing were stationed with their men. They were very experienced and they could easily build the siege.
Five hundred cavalrymen are all good at it, and most of them have some skills. Carpenters and blacksmiths do better than people on the market.
In half a month, the city formed some scale.
The borrowed garrison troops returned to their prefecture under the leadership of several governors. These people left happily. Not only did they all seized spoils, but all the food and food and supplies were paid by the vanguard soldiers.
When they left, they took a lot of cattle and sheep, and they were very happy when they returned.
In a few days, the anger in Youzhou City has recovered a lot. The troops brought back by Li Shimin have successfully entered. With more people, eating, drinking and drinking is essential.
The barracks manage the rice, and they do manage the rice, but the barracks are not as delicious as home-cooked fried fried food made in restaurants in Youzhou City. Every day, thousands of people will have vanguard soldiers coming to adjust the conflict because of the position.
Li De didn't do much, but just ran a few restaurants and added stir-frying, which made the soldiers linger. Another profit of the restaurant was stewed.
The cooked food stewed with various spices is relatively high, but it is in short supply every day. Most of the money earned by the soldiers with the seized spoils is spent on delicious food. They wish the Northern Barbarians would come over again, and they seized a lot of them.
Li Shimin has been very busy these days, counting casualties, and writing about the battle process, mainly to seek credit for His Majesty to see the role of their Li family.
Li Shimin treated people for three days and gained a lot. At the same time, Yelu Bao, the Northern Barbarians, held a grudge.
Duke Tang was still very famous. Li Shimin's behavior did not give him a reputation but demonstrated his father's reputation. It can be said that he was willing to plant flowers but did not grow, and he did not want to plant willows and willows to form shade.
He has no time to control the soldiers' consumption situation. Now he can do as long as the Li family's soldiers do not cause trouble and have no time to care about them.
After Li Xiuning came back, she began to devote herself to her new work state. She was good at doing business and doing business. As a result, several restaurants were quickly handed over to her, and Li De also saved a lot of trouble.
We were in peace in the following days. When Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou came back, they saw that their soldiers were all in a very embarrassing manner. After inquiring, they found out that they were about to chase Modong.
When I passed by, I found two medium-sized tribes. The result was imagined that five thousand soldiers had to eat and drink and wiped out all the supplies of the two tribes. They made a fortune.
Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou entered Youzhou City but were so arrogant.
I happened to see a commercial center that had just recovered from some anger, with restaurants and a singing and dancing troupe to entertain. Of course, the singing and dancing troupe brought back by Lolo was just performing and not doing anything else.
They have vanguard soldiers behind them as their backers and are not afraid of foreign soldiers at all. If someone dares to touch them, the personal guards responsible for maintaining public order teach them how to behave in minutes.
Youzhou City has become a military city, and there are not many people in the city. The advantage of this is that the vegetables grown by the people and the wild vegetables dug have become military supplies.
Money calculated by quantity every day has allowed many Qin Fen's people to earn a lot of living expenses. There are many jobs in the city, and there are a lot of demands for workers. In the end, the soldiers who have spent all their money even came to apply for it.
Li De's projects are always here, and all those with craftsmanship can be used.
Quarrying, firing kilns, logging wood, building buildings, and repairing city walls, every job is done in an orderly manner.
Forty days later, in the palace of Luoyang, the eastern capital, Emperor Yang of Sui looked forward to the newly built imperial city every day, and felt very refreshed.
After the battle report in Youzhou arrived, many people's chins were even more shocked.
When the civil and military officials in the court were quarreling with each other, another battle report from Youzhou was passed to the good news. Now the ministers could not sit still and were more concerned about the situation in Youzhou.
The generals were even more worried about the vanguard soldiers. After all, the generals were involved very much. If something happened, many generals would not do it.
Emperor Yang of Sui was happy and had to look stern.
There were Turks first and then the Northern Barbarians, which really prevented him from calming down.
"What's the war in Yuwen Chengdu?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked in the court.
The Minister of War immediately stood up and replied: "The good news has been sent back, and five hundred enemies have been killed, and the Turks have been driven out of the border of our Sui Kingdom. At present, the cavalry guards and horses are stationed in Shuofang."
"Kill five hundred enemies?" Emperor Yang of Sui said in confusion.
For Yuwen Chengdu, it was not a credit at all. I was really looking forward to it for nothing. I did not have the same achievements as the vanguard.
Emperor Yang of Sui was a little disappointed, and then he eased down when he heard that the cavalry guards had little casualties.
"The Minister of War, the Northern Barbarians invaded Youzhou. If they do not fight, they will not be able to calm the public's anger. Can there be a countermeasure to fight against the Northern Barbarians?" asked Emperor Yang of Sui.
"Your Majesty, I think the urgent need to stabilize the hearts of the people and let the people of Youzhou return to the local area. Otherwise, the city will be abandoned and only the troops will be stationed will not work." said the Minister of War.
His concern was very necessary. Think about what to do if there were only soldiers and no people in the city, but their supplies were to rely on local agriculture to support their food and clothing.
It really touches the whole body. Now Youzhou City is a military city. The Ministry of War is now worried about how to solve the problem of vanguard soldiers and food.
Emperor Yang of Sui actually knew in his heart that it was a blessing to not lose Youzhou. The thousands of soldiers and horses in the city were now really isolated and helpless. Although he didn't want to see Li De, he had to consider the face of the general.
He also thought that he had just moved the capital to Luoyang, and many places needed to spend silver and raise food and grass, so he was a little reluctant.
The problem is that when he built the inner courtyard of the palace, he didn't even blink his eyelids, but when it comes to the matter of the pioneer soldiers, he hesitated and thought for a long time.
"The vanguard soldiers are brave in combat, have outstanding military achievements, and are rewarded with tens of thousands of gold."
Emperor Yang of Sui brought all the credit with one sentence, and distributed 10,000 taels of gold to five thousand soldiers and horses. Each person could get two taels of gold, which was equivalent to twenty taels of gold.
Actually, it’s not too small, but you must understand that this is rewarded to the entire vanguard, and there is no mention of promotion or something.
The people from the generals knew that they would definitely reward land in private this time.
The result was really expected by them. After the Grand Court meeting, each family gave him thousands of acres of fertile land. It was such a big deal. They only found the problem after seeing the geographical location clearly.
