Chapter 707 The Final Winner
At night, the Turkic cavalry behind the pad also fled. Unfortunately, the cavalry guards arrived just in time, so the three-way war began.
"Grandmaster, the war ahead has ended."
Li De was woken up in the carriage.
"What's the result?" Li De asked.
"The Turkic cavalry fled a small number of troops and horses, and the forces of all parties suffered heavy losses." Ding Qilin said.
"The cavalry guards are cleaning the battlefield." Ding Qilin continued.
"Call the troops."
An hour later, the cavalry guards were still cleaning the battlefield, and the materials confiscated were already filled with dozens of cars.
The Youzhou soldiers suddenly appeared and took advantage of the sudden moonlight to welcome the rain of arrows.
"Enemy attack!"
The war drums of the cavalry guards sounded, and the Youzhou soldiers arrived and launched an attack. Then the fire lights raised by the cavalry guards and all the crossbows launched an attack together.
As the main general leading the troops, Ding Qilin commanded the troops to fight.
The Youzhou soldiers began to attack.
Yuwen Chengdu was woken up by someone in his sleep. He was awakened by the war drum and felt very bad. He heard that he was sleepy and lost in an instant when he was attacked by the enemy.
The Youzhou soldiers were ready to go, and after resting, they were in good condition. When they saw that the cavalry guards had already become tired after fighting from multiple sides.
"retreat!"
Yuwen Chengdu knew very well about the situation of the Knight Guard and immediately asked someone to leave. In the absence of the situation, he chose to retain his combat effectiveness.
The gains from previous battles have been enough, but now it is not suitable for continuous combat.
"Grandmaster, the Snap Guard is organizing a retreat."
"Do what you can, mainly besieging their carriages." Li Dedao.
Ding Qilin understood that they were here to intercept Hu, and that the attack of Youzhou soldiers was not so fierce.
After all, the cavalry guards have 150,000 soldiers and horses, and they cannot count how many of them are left after the previous battles. If they really fight to the death, they will suffer a loss in terms of military strength.
The Youzhou soldiers were very fierce in combat and did not pursue them tightly, but most of the materials confiscated by the cavalry guards were intercepted.
In the early morning, Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were all black, and he organized the cavalry guards to retreat as soon as they were attacked.
He knew that it was Youzhou soldiers attacking them, so he planned to report to Emperor Yang of Sui after he went back that Emperor Yang of Sui must know about the dangers of Youzhou and could not indulge them in development.
"General, the statistics have been made. The cavalry guards lost 6,000 cavalry, the horses lost 7,000 horses, and 80% of the harvested materials were robbed..."
Yuwen Chengdu's face looked very ugly, and he wanted to use the harvested materials to make up for the consequences caused by his unscrupulous claims.
After being attacked by Youzhou soldiers, he suffered huge losses, so he had to explain to the court and the emperor.
"Send the order and hurry to Yanmen Pass."
Yuwen Cheng had to worry, and now he could only quickly pursue the Turkic cavalry.
Compared to Yuwen Chengdu's hatred for Youzhou, the escaped forces felt unbalanced after they learned that the benefits were occupied by Youzhou soldiers.
Because they all suffered great losses, those materials and spoils were originally their property.
After Li De confiscated the spoils, he handled the battlefield and went directly along the route of the Turks' withdrawal.
Some powerful scouts were watching and thinking that the Youzhou soldiers would continue to pursue the Turkic cavalry, but they were wrong.
The Youzhou soldiers went back to Youzhou directly.
Li De's purpose has been achieved. How could the Turkic cavalry plunder the various prefectures after retreating? It is too late for them to escape now.
It is impossible to get a lot of benefits if you pursue it again.
So a rational choice to return to Youzhou.
Yuwen Chengdu actually knew that the Turkic cavalry would leave the Sui Kingdom by themselves, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Their purpose could be achieved in the end, but they were unacceptable to failure.
Yuwen Chengdu has always been a proud person.
When Li De returned to Youzhou, he had no cross-channel welcome and was very low-key.
The materials will be counted again and classified and sold to merchants through the merchants.
In the Governor's Office, Li De was surrounded by his wife at home and told him about his affairs along the way.
All the matters were left to Ding Qilin to handle. After Princess Yu expanded the account according to Li De's wishes, she managed a lot of things.
Now I have time to stay at home for more time and don’t have to be so tired.
"My husband harvested this time is enough to expand 50,000 cavalry. Should we recruit troops as soon as possible?" Pei Qingxuan asked.
Pei Qingxuan thought a lot about this battle. After this battle, they offended various forces, and their interests were the most jealous, especially when they provoked the cavalry guards and had to be guarded.
Li De shook his head. It was not that easy to add 50,000 cavalry. With so much material consumption, he wanted to use horses elsewhere, such as investing in the transportation industry.
"Now the army in Youzhou is enough. Those forces don't have to worry about our Youzhou family's great business and great business, so even if they are hostile, they will never be our opponents." Li De said lightly.
Youzhou has enough troops and horses. It is expensive to raise so many troops. Even commercial capitals like Youzhou must be treated with caution.
Half a month later, the Turkic cavalry left the Sui Kingdom. This time they suffered a great loss. It is estimated that they will not be able to make any major moves within three years.
Yuwen Chengdu's mission was completed and the losses were not small. I thought the cavalry guard was very strong, but in fact, the emperor's personal guards were also divided into internal and external.
Emperor Yang of Sui was very happy to receive the news that the Turks left the Sui Kingdom in Luoyang. What made him even more happy was that the cavalry guards took the opportunity to severely damage various rebellious forces.
Yuwen Chengdu's military achievements suddenly reached a new level.
Yuwen Chengdu did not focus on the matter about Youzhou soldiers, but the intention was already very clear.
Although Emperor Yang of Sui was angry, he did not make any attacks even after two military achievements.
He needed victory so much. After this battle, the cavalry guards had a great influence. Many noble forces felt at ease when they learned that the Turks had left the Sui Kingdom.
Among them, he was also subject to changes made by Yu Wenji's meaning. After considering the pros and cons, he decided not to make any embarrassment from Emperor Yang of Sui.
Because Youzhou is too strong now, if the conflict is expanded, the court will have no choice. In the end, it will be Emperor Yang of Sui.
What the Yuwen family is considering is to allow them to gain the greatest benefit. As for the problem in Youzhou, it really cannot break out now.
After returning to Luoyang, Yuwen Chengdu was immediately summoned into the palace by Emperor Yang of Sui. After a few days of secret talks, Yuwen Chengdu was sent to train troops.
I suffered a loss in several battles due to insufficient troops.
Emperor Yang of Sui saw the problem, and combined with the opinions of the Ministry of War, he had the idea of letting Yuwen Chengdu train elite soldiers.
The elite soldiers were naturally the cavalry guards who expanded their troops, and the regular personal guards were expanded to 200,000.
The one who is most proud of is Yu Wenji, all of this was promoted by him later.
His idea is very simple as long as the Yuwen family can master these 200,000 elite troops, then the world can be conquered.
In addition to expanding the number of cavalry guards, Emperor Yang of Sui also issued an imperial edict calling on nobles and princes to gather together to eliminate the rebels.
For this reason, Emperor Yang of Sui offered generous conditions.
