Chapter 472

Yang Qian led 6,000 cavalry to leave Yanmen City, and at this time, Yang Guang had also packed his gear.

Accompanied by Yang Ning, he headed toward Taiyuan County in a panic.

Yu Wenshu, the old commander, stayed to preside over the situation and sort out the important military and political affairs before returning to Taiyuan County to accompany him.

About thirty miles away from Yanmen City, Yang Qian began to look for a place to camp.

Although Liu Wuzhou was a little unhappy, he was only a small captain after all. Naturally, he did not dare to say anything and could only obey Yang Qian's military orders honestly.

After setting up camp, sending out more than a hundred scout horses, lighting fires and making rice, the six thousand cavalrymen had a delicious meal.

As the sky darkened, almost everyone in the camp, except for the security personnel, fell asleep early.

After sleeping until midnight the next morning, the army continued to move forward, and the group continued to move steadily along the road full of cow and horse dung.

Liu Wuzhou finally couldn't hold himself any longer and rode his horse closer to Yang Qian.

"Prefect Yang, those Turks are all cavalry. If we move slowly, we may not be able to catch up with the Turks."

The veteran Wu Hankui beside Yang Qian said with a smile.

"As early as this morning, our governor had sent an elite scout horse to chase him along the way."

"The Turks raised an army of 300,000 and came with countless cattle and sheep for food. So if you want to pursue them, why go fast?"

"Could it be that Lieutenant Liu thinks that our governor is too young to be successful in military affairs?"

Liu Wuzhou was so bored that he could only laugh dryly and stop talking.

On the contrary, Yang Qian did not let him go and asked him about the customs and customs of Yanmen County and Mayi.

This guy is very smooth-talking, and his words are well-organized and well-founded.

From time to time, Yang Qian would also ask Yuchi Gong next to him, but this Yuchi Gong was really not a good talker.

Liu Wuzhou, a guy who tried hard to show his favor in front of Yang Qian, the emperor's celebrity, answered again and again.

Yang Qian could also clearly feel that Yu Chigong was very unhappy, but unfortunately he was really clumsy and clumsy.

Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin, who always liked to make friends, came over and started chatting with Yu Chigong.

Lao Cheng was salivating as he didn't know what he was bragging about, while Yuchi Gong looked deeply shocked.

Liu Wuzhou next to him looked like he was trying hard to curry favor, but Yang Qian didn't show the slightest hint of disgust, but smiled happily and accepted the photo.

Although Liu Wuzhou seemed to have a bad character, historically it was because he regarded the Turks as his father and used the power of the Turks to oppose the Central Plains Dynasty.

But if this guy is also taken away to the south of the Yangtze River, will it affect and change history again?

Yang Qian, a habitual criminal who often changes history, no longer has any blushes. All he thinks about is the sense of achievement and satisfaction of searching for famous figures in history.

Yang Qian was not disappointed. They followed the obvious traces of the Turks ahead and finally caught up with them.

It was determined that the Turks' evacuation team was extremely long, and most of the people in the rear were old and weak, and there were even some infantry who had lost their horses.

Yang Qian ordered a surprise battle, and five thousand fine cavalry suddenly appeared behind the Turks with the force of a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

Then two thousand cavalry were sent to outflank the front, and after cutting off the old, weak and infantry at the rear, they began to retreat towards the road they came from.

The Turks really didn't expect that the Sui army would dare to pursue them, but at this time, the army was moving northward at a rapid speed, and most of the people behind it were small tribes.

Seeing that the Sui Dynasty was attacking, instead of organizing an effective counterattack, they fled north even faster.

Seeing more than 3,000 old and weak infantrymen, thousands of cattle and over 10,000 sheep trapped in the encirclement, Yang Qian was already satisfied.

Without hesitation, he gave the order to immediately take away the more than 3,000 old and weak Turks and infantry, and drive them along with the cattle and sheep towards the way they came, leaving another 2,000 cavalry to guard the back road.

After retreating for more than twenty miles, there was still no news of the Turkic cavalry's counterattack, and Yang Qian's heart fell to the ground.

Although they only captured some 3,000 old and weak Turks and some cattle and sheep, compared to the 300,000 Turkic army heading south, they were simply negligible.

But for Sui Dynasty, this could be regarded as a face-saving blow.

After Yang Qian led the prisoners of war back to the camp where they rested last night for more than an hour, Li Jing finally arrived, leading two thousand cavalry to guard the rear.

Near dusk the next day, Yu Wenshu, who was still handling matters in Yanmen City, finally received good news from Yang Qian.

They pursued and captured, beheaded hundreds of people, captured more than 3,000 Turks, gained more than 1,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep.

Yu Wenshu waved his hand with a somewhat ugly expression, signaling the messenger to step back, and then let out a long breath.

"This boy is very lucky. It seems that Khan Shibi was afraid that something might happen on the grassland. Otherwise, how could he have let this boy pull out the tiger's beard with the strength of a mantis' arm?"

Standing behind Yu Wenshu were two older men, Yu Wenhuaji, who had a sixty-seven-to-seven similarity in appearance.

"Father, can we leave this ghost place? My kid always feels uneasy staying here."

"Why are you so anxious? Yang Qian actually returned victoriously, which shows that the Turks have no intention of going south in the short term."

"There are a lot of things going on in Yanmen City, and we still have to deal with them for a few more days."

"On the other hand, you two brothers, when I look for you on weekdays, I don't even see you. Why, these days, you are asking me for help."

"Did you do something shameful again?"

The younger middle-aged man Yu Wenzhiji said with a smile.

"Father, look at what you said. How can my eldest brother and I do anything? We are also frightened by those Turks. We always feel that it is safer to follow my father."

"Humph, you two, come on, go away if you have nothing to do. I still have official business to deal with." Yu Wenshu could do nothing about these two prodigal things.

The two brothers looked at each other before saying goodbye and going out.

Yu Wenzhiji saw Yu Wenhuaji's worried look and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Brother, I asked you to stop being so nervous. We had to deal with the Turks before they went south."

Yu Wenhuaji let out a long sigh, still frowning.

"At the end of the day, Khan surrounded your majesty at Yanmen for more than a month. There were many casualties on both sides. With your majesty's virtue, I am afraid that the queen will have to settle accounts."

"So what if you want to settle accounts after the fall? Could it be that Your Majesty can still kill you and me? Besides, Your Majesty has already ordered a ban on trade with the Turks, but private trade exchanges are still continuing."

"We brothers just did some business and earned some pocket money. What's the point?"

"What's more, those small traders, how dare they betray you and me?"

"That's true. I just hope this matter can be hidden from His Majesty."
