Cao Bin was a little indulgent before, but he was not without self-control. Once his arm was disabled, he would not be able to fight on the battlefield. His glory and achievements would also be gone with him. Being an ordinary rich man would be his end.

"Hate? I wanted to take his life, but it's not fair to end up like this?" Cao Bin smiled. Fighting in the battle formation had nothing to do with personal feelings. He and Sun Yu had nothing to do with each other. They fought in front of the battle formation for the sake of fame.

.

Zhao Guangyi was speechless. Even so, he still couldn't let go. The thought of such an unspeakable wound filled him with rage.

Compared to Cao Bin, his injuries were actually much lighter, but his position was more awkward.

"The last general has not yet thanked Mr. Fu Yin for his help, and he was injured because of it." Cao Bin felt quite embarrassed. That day he insisted on going out of the city to fight against the general, intending to annihilate the loyal cavalry in one fell swoop, but Zhao Guangyi was injured trying to save him.

In bed.

"Why did General Cao say this? In order to annihilate the enemy chieftain, the general risked his life and death, and I am willing to follow him." Zhao Guangyi restrained all his anger, all for the sake of the righteousness of the family and the country.

"Lord Fu Yin, I am here because the weather is getting colder. This land south of the Yangtze River is already humid. The clothes of my brothers are thin and their combat effectiveness may be greatly reduced. Moreover, you and I are both injured. If something changes, I'm afraid

It's hard to deal with." Cao Bin was originally a strong general, and the attack on Jiangning went so smoothly, which made him even more arrogant.

But he didn't expect that he would stumble in front of Sun Yu. He had also seen the elite cavalry of the Zhongyong Army, and the other subordinates must not be too different, so he had the idea of ​​​​retreating.

"General Cao and I have decided to go somewhere. It is estimated that we can transport all the supplies out of the city tomorrow. We will set off before dawn the next morning." Zhao Guangyi nodded. He should have waited until his injuries were better before evacuating, but

The will of God is unpredictable. If it snows heavily, you will regret it.

"What Mr. Fu Yin said is absolutely true. I will give the order right now." Cao Bin nodded. There are so many things to prepare for when the army sets off.

"Oh, by the way, arrange some manpower to plant more light and dark stakes in the section of Guxi River close to the Yangtze River, and be careful to avoid the opponent's checkpoints." Zhao Guangyi originally didn't want to leave so early. Since the time has been advanced, the arrangements should be made.

Still have to do it.

"Master Fu Yin, are you guarding against that person?" Cao Bin was shocked. He thought that person was in the same boat with them.

"Of course, people are separated from each other, and we are just taking advantage of each other. Everything I do is for the Song Dynasty. Does the general think that he will serve the Song Dynasty wholeheartedly?" Zhao Guangyi was already very suspicious, how could he believe Li Jicao.

"No, don't worry, Mr. Fu Yin, General Mo will make arrangements right away." Cao Bin nodded. He admired Zhao Guangyi for daring to enter Jiangnan rashly under such circumstances.

Two days later, before dawn, the gates of Jiangning City were wide open, and groups of elite Song Dynasty imperial guards were heading out of the city, holding torches and carrying packages on their backs.

Zhao Guangyi and Cao Bin, who originally lived in Wenxiang Pavilion, were already on their carriages heading to Caishiji.

Zhao Guangyi lay on the soft couch of the carriage. After another two days, the wound had scabbed over and the pain was no longer so painful. Coupled with the good stability of the four-wheeled carriage, he did not suffer too much.

But when he thought that this four-wheeled carriage was also made by Sun Yu, Zhao Guangyi felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. What was even more uncomfortable was that Yu Qingge's business had to continue to cooperate with the other party.

With so much wasted money in a year, not even he dared to stop this business, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would be the first to settle the score with him.

Li Congshan stood on the palace wall, looking at the Song army that kept gathering towards Dinghuai Gate, and let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Tan Aiqing, quickly send people out of the city to the Jiangbei camp and mobilize elite troops to garrison the city. In addition,

First, arrange some manpower to garrison at each city gate. My dear friends, all the servants at home must be mobilized to protect the courtyard. By the way, we will mobilize each village and recruit young people to maintain order in the city..." At the moment, Jiangning City is

There are huge defense loopholes, and it is easy to cause trouble.

Although the soldiers in the Jiangbei camp were not enough to restrain the navy, they were able to resist one or two and persist until the arrival of Zhenhai Jiedushi Zheng Yanhua.

"Your Majesty, where does this money and food come from?" Yan Xu twirled his beard lightly. The Jiangning warehouse was so empty that a mouse could starve to death. Even the palace only left half a month's worth of food for them. The emperor had no shortage of hungry soldiers. Once there was a shortage of food,

, it would be better not to come if this causes trouble.

"There should be a lot of food in the Jiangbei camp. He should bring his own food and grass and make up for it later. As for money, there is really nothing we can do about it right now." Li Congshan had a headache. He didn't know where this man was yet, so he had to think about money and food.

The thing is, Jiangning City has been completely wiped out, let alone supporting the army. If we don't think of a way, many people will definitely starve to death this winter.

"The food and grass for the Jiangbei camp is provided once a month. Now the army should have thirteen days' worth of food and grass." Jia Bin counted with his fingers and found that it should be about the same.

The supply of grain and grass supplies to the Jiangbei Camp had to go through the formalities from the Ministry of War, and Jia Bin naturally knew that.

On weekdays, Jiangbei Camp has tens of thousands of troops. If too much food and grass are supplied at one time, there will not be even the slightest restriction if something changes.

"Then after these thirteen days, where will the food, grass and military pay come from?" Li Congshan put his hand on his forehead. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If this problem cannot be solved, let alone attacking Sun Yu, it may be difficult to protect himself.

"In terms of money and cloth, there are still some savings in the treasuries of various places. As for grain and grass, they can only be allocated from the official warehouses in Raozhou and Jiangzhou. The speed must be fast. If it is slow, trouble may occur at any time." Yan

Xu is also eager to make suggestions. The court is already trembling and towering. Once a large-scale popular uprising occurs, the people's hearts will inevitably be unstable.

Whether it was Li Yu, Li Congshan, or even Li Jicao becoming the leader of the country, or whether the Song Dynasty came over, Yan Xu would always sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. But now the one who is eyeing Jiangning covetously is Sun Yu. He can imagine that if that person conquers Jiangning

, he will never end well, even if he is willing to give up his grudges, the other party will not let him go.

"For this matter, I have to work hard and love you to draft an edict, stamp it with a seal and send it to various places." Li Congshan nodded. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation, survive this winter, and bring it to next autumn harvest, so that it can be relieved.

Come on.

As for the southward attack, this matter can only be put aside temporarily. It is important to strengthen internal stability first.

"Your Majesty, the most troublesome thing is probably the army of Zhenhai Jiedushi Zheng Yanhua. How to appease it?" Xu Xuan said aloud. This means that the city defense must be handed over to Zheng Yanhua. He is fighting life and death in Suzhou without getting a dime of benefits.

, so many people died, the court had to comfort them, otherwise how could the city defense be left to them with confidence.

"My dear friends, Gu has just ascended to a high position, and the current situation is unstable. We need you and I, the monarch and our ministers, to work together to overcome the difficulties. Gu is determined to give out tens of thousands of acres of fertile land to the brave and capable soldiers. Everyone who has lived and died for our Tang Dynasty will

You shouldn't be let down." Li Congshan's heart was broken. He didn't have any money or food, but he still had land.

When he was the king of Han, he had nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land. Now the royal family's property is in his hands, adding up to no less than 20,000 acres. In addition, there are many mountains, rivers and lakes. He can use these 10,000 acres of fertile land to buy peace.

, but also as a last resort.

"I am willing to provide a thousand acres of fertile land. After returning, I will contact my old colleagues and work together to relieve your Majesty's worries!" Now that the Song army has retreated, they can move freely in Jiangning City.

Yan Xu had many old disciples in the court who had a very close relationship with him. When he went to discuss matters, he would basically donate generously. This was Yan Xu's greatest value.

"My family is well off, but not as good as Prime Minister Yan. I am willing to provide 500 acres of fertile land, and I am also willing to lobby my colleagues to share the worries of the king." Xu Xuan hurried to follow. His Xu family is also a wealthy family. In recent years, he has been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Although he considered himself to be quite honest in his position as minister, he still left a lot of property behind.

The Xu family was originally a wealthy family in Jiangning. Under Xu Xuan's care over the years, they also had thousands of acres of fertile land, but these were the property of the Xu family. Xu Xuan was able to sell 500 acres in one sentence, and he had made a lot of determination.

He believed that he could settle all the grievances within the clan. After all, if he lost power in the court, the clan would definitely lose much more than these 500 acres of fertile land.

Moreover, the Xu family's property is not only near Jiangning, but also in Jiangzhou and even Fuzhou. They have purchased some farms, just because they are afraid that one day, big changes will happen in Jiangning and the family will be able to make a comeback.

"I am willing to provide 300 acres of fertile land to share the worries of the country's lord. Colleagues I have made friends with in the past also try my best to talk things over." Jia Bin's family background is even more average. Although the Ministry of War is also very rich, but in these days,

He did not dare to skimp on the generals who held great power.

Moreover, the Jia family is not a wealthy family, and they do not own much land. They did buy a few shops in the city, but now they are all empty.

"I, I would like to give you two hundred acres of fertile land..." Kong Ju, the Minister of Rites, glanced at You Jianyan, who looked embarrassed, and immediately spoke first.

Everyone knows that the Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui yamen, otherwise Kong Ju would not have gone to Wenxiang Pavilion to host some cultural gatherings with the dignity of a minister at that time. In the final analysis, he was just going to make money.

Kong Ju had a lot of emotions about Sun Yu. He met Sun Yu only a little earlier than King Han.

Now that Sun Yu and King Han have come to this point, he is also afraid that King Han will have objections to him, so he gritted his teeth and donated half of his land.

Kong Ju used to like collecting, but he didn't have much money. The most precious thing was the copybook of Liu Gongquan from the former dynasty that Sun Yu gave him. Now it was also confiscated by the Song army. When he thought of this, Kong Ju felt heartbroken.

Straight up.

"Kong Aiqing is interested!" Li Congshan nodded and did not embarrass him. He had just become the Minister of Rites not long ago and was used to being poor.

He knew that Kong Ju had some personal relationship with Sun Yu, but after all, the Ministry of Rites was not the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of War, which had a very powerful power, so there was no need to worry too much.

The only person left speechless now is Yu Jianyan, the imperial censor.

"Master You, Your Majesty is waiting!" Yan Xu reminded him, but he was actually waiting to see his joke.

You Jianyan's background was much lower than those here. He had been working as an official all his life. In order to climb up the ranks, he never accepted bribes privately. This is what Yan Xu hated most about him.

As a royal censor, You Jianyan's salary is still very high. The former lord Li Yu would sometimes give some rewards, so he should be living a pretty good life.

But You Jianyan, although he doesn't like yellow and white things, is still politically ambitious. In order to win over his subordinates, he always donates generously to anyone who has something to do. Over the years, he can barely maintain a house in the city.

There are two shops.

You Jianyan knew that the prices in Jiangning were too low and too expensive, so he went back to his hometown of Junzhou to buy some land, so that he could retire and return to his hometown and live a leisurely life, but the water far away could not quench his thirst nearby.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any land near Jiangning, but I am willing to take the Yushitai people to inspect the various states to investigate and deal with corruption. All the silver earned will be handed over to the national treasury to fill the emptiness of the national treasury." Yan Xu's mind was spinning.

He didn't want to be disliked by Li Congshan and had to show his own value.
