The advantage of heavy armored cavalry lies in the formation. When large group forces are fighting, heavy armored cavalry is an extremely sharp army, rushing into the enemy's large formation and destroying the enemy's formation. In short, it is suitable for large group forces to fight and a fixed target.

Although it has a strong advantage of thunder cavalry, its weaknesses are also obvious. They are bulky, slow, inflexible, and cannot last long. Yang Yuanqing knows these, but the key is how long the heavy armored cavalry can support them. In the last tentative battle, he discovered that the long-lasting distance of this heavy armored cavalry is four and a half miles, which means that if you run at most five miles, the cavalry can no longer support them, and the war horses will be crushed by the cavalry and their own heavy armor.

Therefore, heavy armored cavalry must have ordinary cavalry guarded by the side, and when they attacked for a certain period of time, they had to protect them from retreating to the camp. Today, they were not protected by light cavalry, but the Sui cavalry refused to fight with them and kept luring them to run. After running for more than four miles, the heavy armored cavalry formation was no longer neat and began to become chaotic. The war horses could not support it and fell down. The five thousand heavy armored cavalry formation finally stopped slowly. The war horses were gasping for breath and were powerless to fight again. One thousand cavalry surrounded from all sides, and the five thousand heavy armored cavalry had become turtles in the jar. At this time, it was only a quarter of an hour before the battle was launched.

Yang Yuanqing shook his head. The heavy armored cavalry was disappointed. The advantages of the heavy armored cavalry had were all in his Modao and heavy armored infantry, but the heavy armored Modao did not have heavy war horses. Because the Sui army had a large number of war horses, Yang Yuanqing considered and chose between the heavy armored cavalry and the heavy armored infantry. Now after actual combat tests, he resolutely decided to give up the heavy armored cavalry and strive to develop the heavy armored infantry.

Yang Yuanqing waved the Sky-Breaking Spear and shouted to the enemy: "Can General Xue fight again?"

Xue Wanche saw it from afar. He sighed and said to the left and right orders: "Get down the troops, and the whole army dismounted and surrendered!"

Although he was still a little worried about his brother's safety, the situation no longer allowed him to have another choice. Xue Wanche dismounted and ordered his personal soldiers to tie him up. He ordered his personal soldiers to send him to the front of the formation. He knelt in front of Yang Yuanqing's war horse and apologized for shame: "The criminal general Xue Wanche does not recognize the power of heaven, and he begs to surrender late. I hope His Highness of the King of Chu will include it!"

Yang Yuanqing quickly dismounted and helped him up, smiled and comforted him, "General Xue and I were old friends many years ago. We served as Crown Prince Zhao, and today we are ministers in the same palace. This is also a great pleasure in life. After returning to Taiyuan, I should invite General Xue to drink a drink to reminisce about the past."

Xue Wanche was grateful in his heart and bowed again and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness to die!"

Yang Yuanqing looked at the 20,000 elite soldiers in Youzhou. He was extremely pleased. He was able to conquer these 20,000 elite soldiers, which was even more exciting than his defeat of Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops.

...........

Luo Yi met Xue Wanjun who came to support him in Liangxiang County. Seeing the golden arrows presented by Xue Wanjun, Luo Yi was like five thunderstorms. He immediately realized that Youzhou City was lost. This must be Hou Mo Chen Yi's false order.

In the room, Luo Yi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and pondered for a long time. He had recovered from his extreme depression. After all, he also understood that this day would come sooner or later. Even if there was no Hou Mo Chen Yi, there would be someone else betray him. He even guessed that Xue Wanche also surrendered to Yang Yuanqing.

But he was always unwilling to accept that Yang Yuanqing was the chief supervisor of Fengzhou. Such a remote and remote frontier had gradually become such a large climate and gradually became an imperial career. He was the chief supervisor of Youzhou, who controlled the strategic location of Hebei, but ended up like this. This ending made him unable to accept it. It was the restraint of Dou Jiande's army. It was the threat of Gao Kaidao; it was the indecisive and did not send troops to Yanmen County to attack Liu Wuzhou in time. It was the reason why he did not pay attention to counselors and was stubborn.

Luo Yi already knew what he had failed. It was because he knew that he was unwilling to give up. He was eager to start over. As long as he was given another chance, he would not make the mistakes he had in the past. He would be like Yang Yuanqing, one day...

Luo Yi knew very well that Yang Yuanqing would not tolerate him anymore. Although he would not kill him, he would never have a chance to make a comeback in his life. He could only die in depression and drunkenness. Only Li Tang's side, he might have a glimmer of chance.

At this time, a anxious voice from the confidant general Sun Jianan came from the door, "Prince, I have an urgent matter to ask for my opinion!"

"Come in!"

Luo Yi sighed and slowly sat back on his seat. Sun Jianan quickly walked into the room and knelt on one knee, "Report to the prince, Xue Wanjun led a hundred personal soldiers out of the city on the excuse of patrol. He is willing to lead the troops to recover him."

The 10,000 troops brought by Xue Wanjun have been taken away by Luo Yi. Now they only have the capital of this 10,000 troops left in their hands. How could Luo Yi let Xue Wanjun control it? Luo Yi shook his head, "Where he wants to go, let him go! The tree falls, and the money should be dispersed. General Sun, what are your plans?"

Sun Jianan lowered his head and said, "I am willing to follow the prince. Wherever the prince goes, I will go? However, it is recommended that we can withdraw to Yuyang County or Beiping County."

Luo Yi smiled bitterly, "Hou Mo and Chen Yi cannot give us a chance. He should have sent troops. Besides, what's the point of escaping to Yuyang County? Sooner or later, it will be the dish on Yang Yuanqing's plate, which will only make his confidence in negotiations weaker and weaker."

Luo Yi pondered for a moment and said, "General Sun, I want you to negotiate with Yang Yuanqing for me and tell him that I am willing to accept his third condition, I will give him the army, and then I will take my family to Chang'an, but I hope that he will increase the number of entourages a little more, and I want to take five hundred people away."

"I understand, I will go to negotiate with Yang Yuanqing now."

Sun Jianan bowed and retreated. When he left, Luo Yi immediately shouted: "Come here!"

Several personal soldiers came in. Luo Yi pointed to the five large iron box in the corner and said, "Please carry it to the yard, and then let the personal soldiers and brothers come to gather!

These five large iron boxes were the only thing Luo Yi brought out from the military camp, and it was his last money. In a moment, a thousand personal soldiers came to the courtyard, and were crowded with each other. Many people stood outside the courtyard. Luo Yi took a deep breath and said to the personal soldiers: "Youzhou is over. I plan to go to Chang'an to redevelop. Some of my brothers have been with me for ten years, and at least three or four years. I, Luo Yi, have nothing to repay everyone's loyalty.

,These five big boxes are five thousand taels of gold, which is my savings over the years. I plan to distribute it to all brothers. If you want to go home, take the gold home and buy some land, or do some small business. If you are still willing to follow me, then you can take the gold as your travel expenses. You go to Chang'an by yourself, meet up at the Peking restaurant at the entrance of Chang'an's Liren City, and say your heart. I hope everyone will still follow me. If one more brother, I, Luo Yi, will have more strength."

Luo Yi opened the five-mouth box, which was full of yellow Cancan gold. Luo Yi said to several lieutenants: "Let me divide it for brothers! Five taels per person should be just right."

"Dear brothers, leave the county town immediately after getting the gold. Let's leave before the Sui army arrives. I hope we can see you again in Chang'an!"

.........

In late January of the second year of Jiye, the Youzhou general Luo Yi led 10,000 troops to formally surrender the Sui army in Liangxiang County. According to the prior agreement between the two sides, Yang Yuanqing ordered people to go to Youzhou City to pick up Luo Yi's family and sent military gifts to send more than 500 people including Luo Yi and his family entourage to leave Hebei and go to Chang'an.

At this point, the four counties under Youzhou, including Zhuo County, Yuyang County, Beiping County, and Anle County, were officially merged into the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

Three days later, Yang Yuanqing led an army of 30,000 to Youzhou City. The city was full of all the streets, and more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians spontaneously left the city to welcome Yang Yuanqing's return. When he was in Youzhou, he led the soldiers and civilians to fight the threat of the plague and saved the lives of people in the city. Many people are still grateful to him.

More importantly, the military and civilians of Youzhou were tired of war. Since the beginning of preparation for Goryeo in the late sixth year of Daye, Zhuo County has never stopped. Countless troops came and went like a lantern, and everyone was exhausted. They longed that Youzhou could also divide the fields and divide the land like Hedong, resume production and restore normal life, because the arrival of Yang Yuanqing's army was warmly welcomed.

The welcome crowd continued for more than ten miles, with warm smiles on both sides of the official road, cheers and applauses one after another, and people kept shouting: "Welcome to Manager Yang back!"

Yang Yuanqing rode on the horse and felt the enthusiasm of the people of Youzhou, their heartfelt joy and excitement. This warm scene made Yang Yuanqing extremely moved. He saw several teenagers holding a white-haired old man to greet him. The old man raised his dry hands and clasped his fists high at him, and his eyes were a little wet.

Five miles away from the city, Hou Mo Chenyi led a dozen generals to visit. They knelt on one knee together, clasped their fists and said in unison: "See Your Highness, King Chu!"

Yang Yuanqing quickly turned over and dismounted, helped Hou Mo Chenyi up, and gently punched him in the shoulder and said with a smile: "Didn't you write me a letter for so many years?"

Hou Mo Chenyi smiled bitterly and said, "After we parted, I thought it would be difficult to meet again, but I didn't expect it...hey!"

"I didn't expect I would come back, right!"

Yang Yuanqing laughed and said to the generals: "Please come up with all the generals, you are loyal and righteous, and you will not forget the Great Sui Dynasty. I, Yang Yuanqing, will never treat everyone badly, please rest assured!"

The generals were overjoyed and shouted together: "I wish to serve His Highness the King of Chu!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled. There were many things that need not be explained thoroughly. These generals knew in their hearts that they were not serving the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but serving themselves.

At this time, Sima Wen Yanbo led more than 20 civil officials to pay homage. Luo Yi himself served as the prefect of Zhuo County, and Xue Wanjun, all of them were just named government affairs. In fact, Wen Yanbo was responsible for government affairs in Zhuo County. Everyone stepped forward and bowed to salute, "See Your Highness, King of Chu!"

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly returned the salute to everyone, and he smiled at Wen Yanbo and said, "Wen Sima did not go to Chang'an with Luo Yi, this is my most gratifying thing."

Wen Yanbo smiled slightly, "I told Your Highness that if I could make another choice, I would definitely be loyal to the Sui Dynasty. Today I will fulfill my promise."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Wen Sima said it well. From now on, Sima will be the prefect of Zhuo County. I hope Sima can stabilize the people of Zhuo County as soon as possible."
