It's getting brighter.

The heavy rain that had been hovering in Shu finally moved out and smashed on both sides of Yiling, suppressing the fire that was originally difficult to extinguish, leaving only black smoke.

And after the war, Yiling City was full of devastation.

After a night of fighting, no one rested, cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and counting the battle damage.

Qu Fu, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is fighting and breaking his arm, and finally went to the river to swim, but he didn't hold it up at noon, and he was groggy and hot.

Fortunately, a tragic victory is also a victory, and Qiao Jing, who fled in the wilderness, is unlikely to make a comeback at this time, and Jiang Muyuan and He Zhi, who have arrived in military affairs, watched, and Qu Fu was also very relieved.

didn't ask the left and right people to persuade each other, he honestly recuperated.

Duan Baoqi's condition was stronger than Qu Fu's, and the sword in him looked at the extremely long wound, almost from the shoulder blade to the waist, and pierced the back diagonally, but fortunately, the armor defended himself and unloaded the opponent's strength, and the wound was not so deep that it was fatal.

This kind of injury, resting on the front-line soldiers who are in a military emergency, is all continued to fight after being medicated and bandaged, Duan Baoqi was stunned when he fell into the water, and when he came to relieve himself, he couldn't be idle.

Jiang Muyuan looked at him once and made sure that he didn't hurt his life, so he didn't pressure him to recuperate.

Duan Baoqi will take the initiative to invite Ying to the battlefield again and again, his mind must be firm, a person of such an age, he knows what he wants to do and what he should do, and others really don't need to give much advice.

In the afternoon, Xue Huaiyi rode a horse and led his officials to Yiling.

Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, he did not care about the governor's majesty at all, and sat down on the steps of the city wall, and his red eyes eased for a while.

On the way here, they passed through Zhijiang County, and Tete went to the riverside.

The wreckage of the warship is still there, the Jiangnan Navy Division and the Shu Di are huddled together, the mast is broken, the flag is burned, the deck is collapsed, and many of them even sink to the bottom, only a small section of the top of the mast is exposed on the water.

There are countless soldiers who died in battle, and it is clear that the war is over, and Xue Huaiyi can still smell the smell of blood and charcoal by the river.

Jiang Muyuan left people, and the Zhijiang County Ya also sent people to collect the burials on those damaged warships as much as possible.

On the riverside not far from Xue Huaiyi, the body was transported back and forth by sampan......

That scene made Xue Huaiyi feel bored, and now when he looked at the ruined Yiling City, he became more and more out of breath.

"I want to ask Qiao Jing what the hell is wrong with him!" Xue Huaiyi scolded, "An Xianzi didn't know, he had to fight and beat him!" ”

He couldn't understand whether the silver was too hot, or the people were too prosperous, and they didn't do a good job in developing internal affairs, and they had to throw so much energy into rebellion.

Isn't the green farmland looking good in the spring? Isn't the autumn golden harvest boring? The shops are thriving for the New Year, isn't it lively?

Even if there is still so much money that there is nowhere to spend it, and you are afraid that you will not be able to use it all if you develop some new technologies?

They are all used to fight, the fields are gone, the people are gone, and the warships are gone, what is this called!

With so much money to build a warship, in his hands Xue Huaiyi, he could make the people of the two lakes eat more than half a bowl of rice!

It's good now, Qiao Jing didn't harm Shu enough, and his two lakes also became like this, thinking about how much effort he took to take office that day and how much effort it took to raise the two lakes after the disaster, the more Xue Huaiyi thought about it, the more painful his heart became.

He wiped his face, stood up, and took a deep breath as he looked at the soldiers and people who were busy in the city.

The loss was to prevent it, and even if it was so difficult, the soldiers still held it.

Otherwise, the two lakes will fall into the hands of people like Qiao Jing, where will the common people still have food!

As for the ruined city, if he can build it once, he can build it a second time, and as long as the court has the money to set it off, the two lakes can still be the two lakes from before.

As long as no one can't think about it anymore.

Xue Huaiyi scolded in a low voice: "If anything comes out again, Lao Tzu will be crushed to death!" ”

When the master on the side heard it, he came up with a wry smile and poured cold water: "My lord, Qiao Jing suffered a defeat, but he didn't surrender, and he will continue to fight ......."

"Yes!" Xue Huaiyi snorted, "It's the same if he comes again!" ”

Qiao Jing used almost all the water division reserves in Shu this time, and all his brains were blocked, and he was defeated and injured, and only a few escaped back, and nine times out of ten they were folded here.

After that, no matter how much Qiao Jing wanted to fight, he could only fight on the shore, go to Xiaguan and fight with Suningbo, and no longer have the strength to go down the river and travel thousands of miles a day.

Xue Huaiyi heard that Qu Fu was recuperating from his injuries, so he didn't bother, he only looked for Jiang Muyuan, made a salute, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Jiang Muyuan.

Jiang Muyuan knew Xue Huaiyi's character too well, and naturally knew what he wanted to do.

The first step is to show loyalty, talk about how tense and anxious they were in Jingzhou in the battle last night, and they are ready to fight to the death with the other party when Qiao Jing's soldiers arrive;

The second step is to pat the sycophants, touting Jiang Muyuan's greatness, Qu Fu's bravery, He Zhi's courage, and praise those who recognize and those who don't recognize, but anyone who can be called famous, and all the soldiers work together to be the pillars of the country;

The third step is to shed tears, to the sadness of the current situation of Yiling, and the pain of the suffering of the people;

In the end, it was implemented - to ask for the rebuilding silver.

Xue Huaiyi is a person, scolding is really scolding, crying is also really crying, it is a set of hands to come in step by step to ask for money, Jiang Muyuan also knows that the other party is sincere.

In the battle last night, Xue Huaiyi and his officials were indeed ready to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and they also admired every soldier who fought in front, and also grieved the people who suffered from the war.

There is not the slightest adulteration of these emotions, and they are as real as begging for money.

"The imperial court has silver, and can it still lose you to rebuild the two lakes?" Jiang Muyuan said.

Xue Huaiyi knew that he had been seen through, and he was not embarrassed, and said, "Isn't this tight." ”

"Do you know how tight you are?" Jiang Muyuan asked rhetorically.

"Seeing that it's October, the household department has to make arrangements for next year, and also set next year's taxes, and the two lakes are now ......like this," Xue Huaiyi spread his hands, "yes......"

Children who can cry have milk to eat, Xue Huaiyi firmly believes in this, no matter how much benefit there is, he won't cry anyway.

Rao is Jiang Muyuan was tired enough this night, and he was also amused by Xue Huaiyi's cheekiness, and waved his hand and said: "I don't have enough money to fight, it's good if you don't reach out and ask you, and you still ask me to ask for it?" You're crying with Kyori! ”

"Little grandfather," Xue Huaiyi said again, "If you don't produce grain, and silver can't be eaten, if the two lakes can revive the name of the world's granary and prosper together with Jiangnan, are you afraid that you won't be able to pay the military salary?" As long as you don't let Qiao Jing continue to fight in the two lakes, how long can you fight with him, and how long can Lao Xue supply you with food. ”

Jiang Muyuan stared at Xue Huaiyi and smiled again.
