Thinking of this, Yao Yu couldn't help but sigh: "In short, Sima Rui's entry into Jiangdong has become a foregone conclusion." We cannot and do not fit to use troops against him at this time. ”

Yao Bao was very sorry: "It's a pity, if only we had done Jiangdong earlier." At that time, when we occupy Jingyang Erzhou, our strength will be stronger. ”

Yao Yu shrugged: "That can't be helped, the year before last, the soldiers were already exhausted from the continuous battles." In addition, how long have we been in Jingzhou? If there is too much war, it will make the hearts of the people uneasy. At this time, it is the stage of recuperation with the people. Defensive battles can be fought, take the initiative and try to avoid them. Speaking of which, it is still the reason of popular opinion. Do you all understand? ”

Everyone nodded, everyone knows this truth.

Among these people, the one who breathed a sigh of relief was Suo Hong.

Although it is said that after Yao Yu cleaned up and attacked the Jingzhou family, the treasury was full, but the war was not a child's play, once it started, the logistical pressure rose sharply.

Although it is said that there are now tens of billions of silver in the Jingzhou treasury and tens of millions of stones in grain.

However, Yao Yu's construction expenses are the bulk of them, especially the school, after it is completed, it is estimated that at least one billion silver dollars will be invested every year to cover the expenses.

This 10 billion silver money, even if you don't eat or drink, you can only last for ten years.

If it can't find a good income in the next ten years, Jingzhou will soon face the problem of bankruptcy.

What's more, Yao Yu trained soldiers to build armor, which was also a lot of expenses.

The armies in other places can eat it, but Yao Yu is not, so he has to ask the soldiers to have enough nutrition and meat to eat.

Let's just put it this way, roughly calculated, the annual consumption of the 140,000 troops in Jingzhou is more than 2 billion silver.

Not to mention grain, more than seventy percent of the 10 million stones are old grain, which is not suitable for consumption at all.

Although it is better than nothing, and eating it can fill your stomach, but when there is new food to eat, who will eat the old grain.

To put it bluntly, Jingzhou looks rich, but in fact, it is just fat.

If you want to really let the people live and work in peace and contentment, self-sufficiency, there is no three or five years, it is simply not enough.

Now, listening to Yao Yu's statement that the army will not fight, Suo Hong's heart has finally let go.

Yao Fan sighed and said to Yao Yu: "Big brother, although we can't take the initiative to attack Jiangdong. But it is also necessary to guard against Sima Rui's westward march to seek Jingzhou. After all, Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of Jiangdong. Contain the throat of Koto at all times. The ancients said that on the side of the couch, how could they allow others to sleep soundly. I think Sima Rui also sees us in this way. ”

Yao Yu said: "I'm not worried about this, if Sima Rui dares to do it, he must be the unlucky." This guy is also shrewd, and he will not dare to act rashly until his strength exceeds ours. However, compared to Jingzhou, which has been started for more than a year, it is so difficult for Jiangdong to surpass us. So, we just have to wait and see. Of course, you can't be careless during this period. Shen Lin. ”

Shen Lin agreed: "Yes, my lord." ”

"When you return to Lujiang this time, take 10,000 sailors with you and strengthen the garrisons in various parts of Lujiang. First, it can deter Jiangdong. Second, you can be used as a bridgehead, and when we catch a reason to attack Jiangdong in the future, you will be the vanguard. ”

Shen Lin nodded: "Okay, the last general has written it down." ”

Yao Yu said well, and then looked at everyone with a smile: "Okay, okay, everyone is happy." Although it is said that Sima Rui preemptively occupied Jiangdong and broke our plan. But for us, there is nothing to lose. It is still necessary to strengthen the training of armaments in various localities. Lian Jun and the training of the navy army cannot be relaxed. Sooner or later, it will come in handy. ”

Lian Jun hugged his fists and replied yes.

As for Yao Yu, he arranged a lot.

By the time I was done, it was already late at night.

Yao Qing still blamed himself, and was very embarrassed to say to Yao Yu: "Yu'er, you said that today was originally your wedding day. Sima Rui came to make trouble. Tsk, isn't that sincerely disgusting? ”

Yao Yu waved his hand to show that it didn't matter: "What is this, it's better for him to jump out now than to give me a knife while I'm not paying attention." Relieved second uncle. As long as we don't mess up, no one can help us. Alright, it's getting late, go back and rest, I should go to sleep too. ”

After speaking, Yao Yu yawned constantly.

Yao Qing immediately smiled: "Okay, okay, you go back and rest early." Strive to give birth to a son and a half daughter to our old Yao family. ”

Yao Zheng, who came back from dealing with the marriage, was not happy when he heard this: "Second brother, what you say is not at a level. Yu'er's current identity, how can a son and a half daughter be enough? You shall not give birth to ten or eight. ”

Yao Yu: "···"

Under the ridicule of the two, Yao Yu left with a red face.

As he left, he could hear the laughter behind him.

···

All the way back to the bedroom of the east wing in the backyard, Yao Yu turned around and said to Lu Bi Hexiong: "Okay, I don't have to stand guard today." You two should go back and rest. Good night. ”

When the words landed, Yao Yu pushed open the door and entered.

It's just that Lu Bi and He Xiong glanced at each other, but they didn't choose to go back to sleep.

They discussed it for a while, and felt that the situation in Jiangnan was even more confusing at this time. As Yao Yu's personal guards, they need to do something.

No, the two of them couldn't sleep idlely, so they took the Yaojia Village guards to start patrolling in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

The two of them didn't mention it, when Yao Yu returned to the room, Ban Rou had not rested yet, and was sitting on the edge of the table in a daze.

When Yao Yu saw it, he walked over and said with a smile: "Sister Rou, haven't slept yet?" ”

Ban Rou responded, came back to his senses and looked at Yao Yu: "What's the matter, everything is settled?" So what happened to Sima Rui? ”

Yao Yu was surprised: "How do you know Sima Rui?" ”

Ban Rou pouted: "I am more familiar with the maids of this state pastoral mansion than you." If you want to inquire about something, that is, a matter of one sentence, okay? ”

Yao Yu: "Uh..."

In embarrassment, Yao Yu shook his head and sat down.

Ban Rou stood up and came to Yao Yu's back, pinching Yao Yu's back with both hands to relieve his fatigue.

While kneading, Ban Rou also asked: "Jingzhou has all the big and small things on you, will you feel hard?" Otherwise, give the schedule more work. ”

Yao Yule was happy: "Sister Rou, I remember when I worked for the class schedule before, you weren't happy." ”

Ban Rou's face was slightly red and he snorted: "Isn't that a special situation, the class table was my younger brother before, don't you feel sorry for him." ”

"And now?"

Seeing that Yao Yu had the intention to tease herself, Ban Rou sighed, pinched Yao Yu's face and pulled it hard: "How do you say now?" ”

Yao Yu's face was torn apart, and his mouth kept whining: "Don't, don't, Sister Rou, I was wrong." It's my mouth. It hurts, please raise your noble hand. ”

Ban Rou sighed disdainfully: "Virtue." ”
