The importance of food is self-evident. Ensuring food for the military and civilians and the people is a must-do by a court, especially after the autumn harvest, when the food prices are sluggish, it is time to set up a regular warehouse and a military warehouse.

Taking advantage of this, Li Jia began to reward a large amount of land and money and food according to his merits. As the owner of the manor moved a large amount of food, he naturally could not take it away. Li Jia spent a lot of money to buy grain. Then the Dongting Navy led the Changsha Mansion, where there were hungry soldiers.

This reward was arranging officials and checking local gangsters, and they cracked down on them to ensure the improvement of order. One-third of the seized materials were consumed.

The rest were also a huge amount of income. The people from Shaofu Temple rushed to control the wealth for the emperor.

The atmosphere of celebration in the army is very strong, and the soldiers are in high spirits... The victory over the return date is always a joy to return. As for who stays behind, they don’t like it at the moment, they just have fun in time.

This war destroyed the country and gained a lot of wealth. The court would reward the soldiers with merits. This was also the cruelty of people who quickly forgot about the battle formation. Although it was not very cruel at all, it was also one of the reasons for their joy.

After Li Jia finally integrated the troops of Nanping, he was ready to return to Changsha.

The total number of soldiers and horses in the prefectures and counties in Nanping was about 30,000, of which 20,000 were in Jiangling City. Some of them died. Some of them were eliminated, and some of them were eliminated, including the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, hooligans, etc., and there were 20,000 people left. In the end, there were 20,000 people left. Together with the 20,000 imperial guards, there were 40,000 soldiers and horses.

The 20,000 Nanping Army will be trained for two or three months, and then temporarily accepting the leadership of Jiangling Bo Li Xin, Li Jia suddenly felt that 10,000 people were not enough, so she added 5,000 people, and a guard was 15,000.

Guizhou was stationed in 5,000 troops, and Ma Dong, commander of the Huainan Army, was stationed to guard against Houshu.

Five thousand troops were stationed in Xiazhou, and five hundred soldiers were stationed in Hou Peng, who was stormed in the south, and supported Jingzhou.

As for Li Xin, he led 15,000 troops to guard Jiangling, Jingzhou, and defend against the Northern Song Dynasty.

Five days after the capture of Jiangling City, the city gates were wide open and no longer restricted travel. The stranded merchants could finally get out of the city to breathe and hurriedly penetrate the news.

The world is shaking.

The first person to know was the Zhao Guanjia in Tokyo. Thanks to the news from Murong Yanzhao in Xiangzhou, he learned about the fall of Nanping in less than two days.

"Li Jia, you are bold and arrogant!" Zhao Kuangyin saw this secret letter and felt a headache. He fell directly on the table, stood up immediately, walking back and forth.

"Let Zhao Shumi come here!" Zhao Guanjia rubbed his head and said.

"No--" The eunuch on the side went up to help with a wink, while the other person quickly stepped out of the palace to find Zhao Shumi, who was favored by him.

"Nanping has already been taken down, but he has succeeded. Unfortunately, old man Murong is timid and afraid of things and has not stopped him in time. Where is the direction of the Song Dynasty?"

Soon, a hurried footsteps sounded, and Zhao Pu saw Zhao Guanjia again. Seeing his face became more gloomy. He instantly moved his heart, remembering the discussion about Nanping not long ago, and thinking about it in his heart.

"I have seen Your Majesty--" Zhao Pu bent down and saluted.

"Sit down at your house! Look at this letter!" Zhao Kuangyin asked the eunuchs to pass on the secret letter, and his mood suddenly calmed down a little.

Zhao Pu had already guessed something in his heart, and read it carefully, and had a clear idea of ​​it. Although he was not good at military affairs, he knew a little about the army. Jiangling City had always been majestic. Before, Gao's family snatched Ma Chu's tribute and was besieged by an army of 80,000. He persisted for a long time and never defeated it.

"Report to Your Majesty, I know!" Zhao Pu put down the letter and said:

"Jiangling City was forced and had not supported it for two days. Although Gao was a rogue, he was good at controlling the people. He relied on the mighty city to defend it. He would not say a few days, even a few months. I am afraid that the pseudo-Tang had other methods, which may be detrimental to the court!"

"No matter how he captures Jiangling City, the imperial guards can capture it. It's just a matter of time, but I'm worried that this problem in the south will be really unfavorable to the great cause of unification of the world!" Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice.

"It would be fine if there was a Southern Tang Dynasty, if there was another Tang Dynasty..."

"Don't worry, your Majesty, the soldiers of the pseudo-Tang are just Lingnan and the weak soldiers of Chu have always been not enemies of the Central Plains. Even if they are defeated soldiers and surrendered to Huainan, they are not the case. Since ancient times, the Central Plains have been fertile soil. After a little time, they will be able to unify the world if they use them!"

Zhao Pu unswervingly talked about his strategy of first south and then north:

"Jiangnan is already scared, and the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is just a defeated weak soldier, which is not worth mentioning. Besides, although the two countries are powerful in one year, their foundation is unstable. You only need to destroy their elites, and the rest of the land will definitely descend! Taking advantage of its momentum to break Jiangnan again, they will inevitably be unified!"

"General Murong is always stronger and more cautious. As for letting him guard against it, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is not worth worrying. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Your Majesty will unite the vassal states and cultivate the people within a few years, it will be like a tiger coming out of the mountain, unstoppable!"

Hearing Zhao Pu's words, Zhao Kuangyin became confident in an instant. It was indeed true. What the pseudo-Tang Dynasty held was just military generals. However, he didn't know which one could fight against the enemy's imperial guards, even if they were Khitans, he would dare to touch them.

Moreover, since ancient times, the southern army has been weak and lacked war horses, and it only relies on ships. As long as you have to accumulate energy, you will definitely destroy the country.

Although the pseudo-Tang destroyed the country with great might, its foundation was unstable. Under external forces, it would inevitably fall down. He was worried too much.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly and said generously: "After hearing what the sir said, we suddenly realized. Come and put a table of wine and food over. I want to have a good time with Mr. Zhao!"

For a moment, the depressed atmosphere was instantly relieved, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace also made a little lighter.

Jiangxi, Hongdu.

Since moving to Hongzhou and renamed Hongdu, Li Jing did not get the expected peace of life, but became more and more irritable.

Lingnan suddenly pretended to be a descendant of the Tang Dynasty and then called the Tang Kingdom. He wanted to teach a lesson, and then captured Qianzhou and plundered the military and civilians and returned.

Later, I heard that the pseudo-Tang Dynasty captured Hunan again. Damn it, so I sent troops to fish in troubled waters, but in the end I returned in vain and lost some of my troops.

Our king was in a bad mood. The Hongdu Palace was narrow and often leaked and wet. At this moment, Li Jing missed Jinling more and more.

Moreover, in September, his crown prince Li Hongji passed away, and now he lay on the hospital bed, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

He raised his head and recalled Jinling City.

Although it is dangerous, it is prosperous. There are many beautiful ladies, spacious palaces, and literati who recite poems and essays.

Then, a military message came, and Li Jing frowned instantly. He couldn't help but look at it. His internal organs were turned upside down, his throat became sweet, and he instantly vomited blood:
Chapter completed!
