When Xiao’s family bought war horses, they had to go out of the blue when they were in urgent need. The number of purchases seemed to be small, but in fact they made people buy a large number of ordinary horses.

They thought it was seamless by the way merchants purchased them in batches, but in fact, the Red Peony people had long recognized them.

Li De did not stop him because he did not want to have an unhappy relationship with those aristocratic families at this time.

In addition, you can explore the opponent's background by the number of horses.

The price of ordinary horses is not much cheaper than war horses.

Ordinary war horses can become war horses after careful feeding and training.

If you can buy thousands of horses at a time, can the Xiao family use it to drive cattle and horses? Or should you form a fleet of transport horses?

No matter what they buy horses for, Li De will not suffer any loss, and the purpose is to make money.

At the same time, the Xiao family has already made a breakthrough and it is impossible to hide behind the scenes to make a decision.

Just as he was thinking about something, the sound of guards came from outside the barracks.

"Grandmaster, war reports are coming from the north."

Li De took the letter and the lieutenants in the house were curious and wanted to know the situation of millions of soldiers.

"In the battle of water sprinkling, Goryeo joined forces with Silla Baekje, and used water attack to destroy millions of troops..."

After reading it, Li De will hand it to the lieutenants for circulating.

The terrain of Sashui was already complicated. Goryeo soldiers pretended to retreat and led the Sui Dynasty into the Sashui land. Then they destroyed the Sashui embankment and paid a certain price, but they flooded millions of soldiers.

"Hmph, what kind of battle is it? The general is incompetent to bring so many innocent lives. It's really angering me!" Shi Huaiyi said angrily.

"Be calm, the letter does not say that there are many reasons for failure. The most important thing is that the logistics supply is cut off, which leads to being trapped in Sashui. The most urgent task is to try to bring back the living people."

"Grandmaster, let me go." Shi Huaiyi said.

"I will give you 30,000 troops and bring all the people who escaped along the way back to Youzhou." Li Dedao.

"yes."

"He Bida, you will lead 20,000 troops to Sashui. If you can save one more, you will be the other one." Li Dedao.

"yes."

He Bida has a new mission, although there are only a few people, but they are all elite.

Li De sent them out not to fight a war, but mainly to save people. They needed to carry a large amount of supplies.

That night, the vanguard soldiers began to arrange and assemble, mobilizing 50,000 troops and quickly, and the carriages of logistics were always on standby.

The efficiency of transporting together was very high. The next afternoon, He Bida and Shi Huaiyi set out.

The two of them had different tasks. One was to rush to the Sashui area, and the other was to search for the people responsible for transporting materials along the way.

The atmosphere in the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangling was very tense. Millions of soldiers were burned down and were destroyed by the flooded army by others. Emperor Yang of Sui was under great pressure.

Millions of soldiers and horses, many men from Sui Dynasty were destroyed here, and the condemnations of the nobles of Guanlong and the discussions of court officials made him walk on thin ice.

Now Emperor Yang of Sui didn't know what to do. He just wanted to recruit troops and horses. The feeling of being unable to turn the world down made his consciousness a little depressed.

At this time, the old man whispered beside Emperor Yang of Sui: "Your Majesty, the spies from Youzhou have come to report that the vanguard soldiers have gathered 50,000 troops and have already headed north, and their purpose is unknown."

"What are the Pioneer soldiers going to do?"

Emperor Yang of Sui was puzzled and didn't take long to think of a key. If it were the case, he would definitely not have missed such an opportunity to recruit a large number of troops.

"The Youzhou soldiers will sooner or later become a big trouble." Emperor Yang of Sui knew very well, but what else could he do.

"I'm tired, you all retreat."

Emperor Yang of Sui asked someone to leave, and his expression was very depressed. Millions of soldiers and horses were not the foundation of the Sui Kingdom. It took a certain amount of psychological endurance to lose it like this.

Although he understands many things, he can no longer do more at this time.

If he was in Dongdu, he might have some solutions, but the troops accompanying him could not be mobilized at this time.

After Yuwen Chengdu was transferred to Emperor Yang of Sui, he became the emperor's loyal guard.

The opposite of the free and easy life he was in Shuofang, this kind of character-changing game made him feel uncomfortable.

The situation of millions of soldiers and horses trapped in Sashui is unknown. At this time, they should go to rescue them, but the emperor did nothing.

He thought about reminding the emperor, but before he could speak, everyone retreated and the emperor had already rested.

Yuwen Chengdu was anxious and could not get into trouble at this time.

Many times, military officers cannot do what civil servants can do, and they are anxious to do it.

The Sashui area is washed away by water.

He Bida was desolate all the way, and even one could not see him. There were no living people in the original barracks, and there was no grain of rice left in the supplies, empty and silent, giving people a very bad feeling.

"The commander, I have searched for it, but no one has been found."

The personal soldiers had searched three times and saw He Bida.

"Gather the troops and horses into twenty routes and look for them separately." He Bida ordered.

There are 20,000 people and 500 people, why not 1,000 people? Because ten thousand people have to keep guard supplies.

It just so happened that there was no need to build a barracks and deploy housing affairs on the spot, saving a lot of time.

Searching is a long process. In two months, a large amount of supplies have been transported from Youzhou City.

At the same time, five thousand laborers were brought to build a military camp in Liaoshui.

The firing kiln provides a large amount of cement and bricks for the barracks, which accelerates the defense construction of the barracks.

The search team of 20,000 people also found many people, and someone helped him when he was in danger. This kind of gratitude is something that others cannot understand.

So all the rescued soldiers joined the vanguard, and the number of people in the barracks increased from 20,000 to 50,000.

The frontier military city of Youzhou in the Liaoshui region was formed.

Shi Huaiyi gained even more. The people who fled along the way were hiding. When they were found, most of them were hundreds or thousands of people. In just a few months, they added a population of 100,000 to Youzhou.

The population was implemented in the main prefectures of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji, and was arranged in accordance with the same land system.

Although the new people did not catch up with the spring planting, they could still reclaim the land next year.

The people who did not catch up all work under the guidance of the government and earn labor remuneration.

Time passed quickly, and it was the autumn harvest season in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, there was no waste year, and the crops in the field grew very well.

"Our family's fields are booming this year, and the autumn harvest is about to come. When the food is sold, you can buy a carriage and go out for transportation with the supplies. By then, our family's life will get better and better."

"They are all good governors. You have to work hard. As long as the governor is in our lives, there will be hope. I will establish the eternal life card for the governor tomorrow."

Few people know about the conversations between the people's homes, but the situation in the people's homes in Youzhou City is similar, so I am grateful to Li De.

I am glad to be able to live in Youzhou.

The grain merchants in Youzhou City had been waiting for a long time. When the shipping volume came, they also brought a large amount of supplies to Youzhou.

When you go back, you can take away the food.
