Li De understood that even if he chose to go to Zhangzhou to suppress bandits, he could recruit soldiers along the way, and the more soldiers he would face, the more trouble he would face.

Think about the ten commanders under his command, each of them needs to lead troops to fight. The military power is in the hands of the governor, and there will definitely be a rift over time.

Before making a decision, Li De had to make it clear to the commanders that the vanguards in the future would be very likely to be independent and use military power to ensure their status.

In the future, he will definitely be eliminated as an excuse to threaten the imperial power, but Li Decai is not afraid. When his strength is strong enough to a certain extent, I believe that even the emperor dares not act rashly.

For example, Princess Yu's adoptive father, the King of Reincarnations, will not be suspicious even if he is dissatisfied by His Majesty the Emperor.

Three days later, after discussions from everyone, he would not give up Youzhou City.

"General, is it true that the vanguard soldiers are leaving Youzhou?" Luo Yi's sideline hurriedly ran to the city tower and leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Governor Li has sent someone to say that the defense will be replaced in three days. The Youzhou garrison will be guarded by the Luo family before they come back." Luo Yi said frankly.

"General, this is a good opportunity to regain the defense of Youzhou City." The sideline said with an idea.

Luo Yi had not much joy on his face. He knew very well that even if the vanguard soldiers left Youzhou City, it was not his final say, unless he banned all the caravans he had come and entered the city.

In that case, the city will become a solid fortress, and at the same time, it will turn Youzhou City into the same as before, without any anger.

The vanguard soldiers brought not only victory to Youzhou, but also economical Fusu.

The Luo family's soldiers are good at fighting, and they will not give up easily even when facing the unnecessary ones. However, combat effectiveness and urban development are not a matter of time.

The next day, Luo Yi came to the Governor's Office, and today they will make some handover.

The combat office, in the spacious room, there are large tables, and the map still being perfected on the wall can see the footsteps of the pioneers.

Shuozhou, Yanmen Pass, Youzhou City and other places passed by are marked.

"Governor Li." Luo Yi came in and did not salute because he had the rank of general and was several levels higher than Li De, the governor.

However, no one dares to underestimate the governor of the vanguard soldiers. Although there are only five thousand soldiers, they are all elite among the elite.

"General Luo, sit down. Time is tight, so I said directly. I came to you today mainly to hand over city defense affairs. I hope to ensure the safety of the caravans."

Li De directly stated the request, and before Luo Yi could answer, he continued: "The vanguard will leave five hundred cavalrymen to help you, I hope you can cooperate."

Li De's words sounded like the city lord was asking for something. Luo Yi felt awkward, but he knew that he really couldn't object to what the other party said.

"Governor Li, I know your contribution to Youzhou City. Don't worry, leave. I have decided to ask the court for instructions when you come back and give up the garrison of Youzhou. To be honest, I am very good at your work. If I can, I would rather lead troops to gallop in the enemy's hinterland."

Luo Yi said everything he said was in his heart. He really had this plan. He had it since he was a child, and it should be said to be a dream.

"There will be a chance." Li De said it according to his words. As for whether Luo Yi wants to leave Youzhou, he needs to wait for him to come back.

Next he has to deal with a very important person.

Li Shimin's military achievements were valued by the court, and the Li family's soldiers and horses became famous in his hands. Yang Guang had a good impression of Li Shimin and was very careful in his heart.

The Li family was originally a descendant of the generals, and the support of the Li family in Longxi. The sons of Duke Li Yuan of Tang were all outstanding in their abilities. They never relaxed their surveillance of them since Yang Guang became the King of Jin.

Now in the Battle of Youzhou, Li Shimin led his troops to take the initiative and made great news. He was a wise general. With more than 4,000 people in his hand, he was really a great achievement.

Li Shimin's mind is meticulous, and he really racked his brains to achieve his goal.

Why do he say this? Because he presented all the captured horses to the court.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was not easy to fool. After finding out the situation, he learned that the Li family's father and son were in trouble. He thought this was an excellent opportunity, so he followed the consequences and rewarded him.

He directly asked Li Shimin to become the commander of Pingbei of Youzhou to assist in the defense of Youzhou City.

After Li De learned about this, he should have congratulated Li Shimin on his fulfillment of his wish and finally came out to develop alone, but the situation was not what he thought.

Li Shimin had no soldiers at all, so the Duke of Tang took away all the soldiers and horses of the Li family with a transfer order, leaving two hundred people to protect them.

It can be said that Li Shimin had achieved his goal, but he was also in an embarrassing situation. The emperor's attention made Duke Tang very unhappy. With the emperor's order in his arms, he could not directly let Li Shimin return to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Now there is only a stalemate.

I don’t know if God is blessing Li Shimin, the two thousand people gathered from Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou became his real strength, but the headache is that he has no money and food.

Originally, it was due to Li De's relationship that all the food was produced by the soldiers in the lower abdomen. Now that the vanguard soldiers are leaving, their food and salary have become a big problem.

Assisting in protecting Youzhou is actually relying entirely on vanguard troops to survive.

Li De was also worried about this matter, mainly because the food and salary of the Li family's soldiers were paid by the pioneer soldiers. After all, they invited people, so the benefits were naturally given. Otherwise, it would affect the official voice after it was spread. What should no one dared to cooperate?

However, Dou Jiande's remaining troops were not related to the vanguard. Seeing that the supplies snatched from the Turks were about to be used up, he begged Li Xiuning for his shamelessness.

He will finally decide.

"Brother-in-law, you're here. I'm almost out of rice. I'm still asking my brother-in-law to help me."

Li De had just come out of the carriage, and someone appeared in front of him blocked his vision.

I heard the voice and knew it was Li Shimin. This was the first time he saw Li Shimin panic. It could make someone with a sensational self-esteem lower their heads and ask for help. If he had no choice, he would not have seen him like this.

"You seem generous when you give so much supplies to the court."

After Li De said that, Li Shimin couldn't hold back his face. What he did was a little eager for quick success but was there any mistakes?

"Okay, let's talk about money and food. How much do you want to borrow?" Li De asked.

Li Shimin was not a borrowing idea. With his sister's relationship, why did Li De feel so difficult to talk to?

"Brother-in-law, you know my situation."

Li De looked at Li Shimin's expression and knew that the other party was planning to pay the debt, so he said first: "No problem, but help is not free funding, you need to work hard."

"No problem, I have two thousand soldiers and horses, who are good at demolishing walls and building houses, and farming and transplanting rice." Li Shimin is so clever and immediately realizes the actual situation in Youzhou, with more land and few people.

Farming is the top priority.
