Qin Miaoyu spent a while to read the letter, and then did not say anything, but silently poured tea for the two of them.
After a while, until the two of them looked at a cup of tea, Qingyue sighed quietly.
"What an unexpected thing. What kind of monster is this guy? What does he want to do?" Qingyue looked at Qin Miaoyu and said with a bitter smile.
Qin Miaoyu shook her head and replied softly: "Although he didn't cause any trouble during his trip to the Silver Moon Kingdom, he caused such an earth-shattering event. Isn't it amazing that he can't stop talking about it?"
Qingyue continued: "I have clearly started a war with Dachu here, but he is so good that he went to the imperial city to cure the emperor and still preached at Qianfo Temple. Does he want the entire Silver Moon Kingdom to owe him a favor? ?."
The development of this matter is indeed very absurd.
Qin Miaoyu looked at him and smiled bitterly: "This is a good thing. The emperor's old illness is resolved, and you can fulfill your long-cherished wish, right? There is less of a burden in the past."
Qingyue smiled and said, "But, what is that guy's intention?"
"I think he just did it casually, because he didn't even ask for your master's favor. He quietly left the imperial city after he said the Dharma."
Qin Miaoyu said lightly: "Since he gives without asking for anything in return, he will not ask for anything from you either... Just pretend that you don't know anything, how to fight or how to fight back, otherwise you will bring hundreds of thousands of troops to the war." Why is Chu here?"
"What does that guy want to do?" Qingyue looked at her quietly: "My master can personally invite him to preach to the monks in Qianfo Temple."
"These things have nothing to do with you or me, remember."
"When we are in Black Salt City and have occupied the important town of Da Chu, we should forget all the favors." Qin Miaoyu said indifferently: "Otherwise, you will go home with an army of more than 200,000 people now."
Qingyue laughed and said, "That's impossible."
"There is no turning back when you shoot. Even if you do something wrong, you can only make the mistake and keep going!" Qingyue stared into Qin Miaoyu's eyes and said word by word.
"Then what are you still struggling with?" Qin Miaoyu said with a gentle smile.
"I'm struggling because with this guy in Da Chu, our next war may not go smoothly, and the price we pay will be much higher. What I'm struggling with is that this war must end before the Shura battlefield begins."
"Yes, in fact, I originally wanted to make a quick decision and end this war before winter comes... At the moment, it seems that this guy will not get what I want."
Qingyue continued: "More importantly, judging from Da Chu's various performances, Chu Feiyan has handed over the command of this war to him Xiu Yuan... He has become our enemy. "
Qin Miaoyu was silent after hearing this.
"According to my expectation, my previous opponent was a sick cat, but I didn't expect that it turned into a wolf in the blink of an eye. That's why this time... we failed several times in a row."
Qingyue's face was expressionless, and there was a fierceness in her beautiful and handsome face. Her delicate thoughts seemed to be able to see through everyone's hearts.
Qin Miaoyu looked at her and sighed and said in fear: "Don't worry about this anymore. Think about when the army will set off. There are still hundreds of miles to go from Black Salt City to the decisive battle."
Qingyue smiled gracefully, and did not seem to be disheartened. Instead, she smiled and said: "If we understand this truth, we can't be anxious. I think Li Xiuyuan is more anxious than me, because he also wants to go to the Shura battlefield."
Qin Miaoyu's eyes suddenly flashed with panic. Speaking of the Shura battlefield that had been opened, although she was already married, she also wanted to go in and find her own opportunity.
"So..." Qin Miaoyu reached out to add tea to the cups of the two of them: "Then let's cook it slowly. We have already occupied their important town. I completely believe that they will willingly give up this big city. ."
Qingyue seemed to have discovered the harshness deep in Qin Miaoyu's heart at this moment, and nodded with a smile.
...
After returning from Black Salt City, Li Xiuyuan and Chu Feng led a group of soldiers to set fire to the wasteland and piled the cut branches on the wasteland to burn.
By the time the soldiers finished training and had a thousand meals, the wilderness was already dark. Tens of thousands of soldiers lined up on the wasteland, waving in unison.
The two of them worked hard for several days with a group of soldiers, and cultivated thousands of acres of land behind the decisive battle pass.
Chu Feiyan, who came after hearing the news, looked at the neatly reclaimed land in the wasteland and said with a smile: "Sow the seeds now, and you will be able to harvest military rations in a few months. There will be a good harvest in the autumn."
"I hope it will last until we win this war!" Li Xiuyuan looked at the newly dug black earth and couldn't help but smile.
"Generalissimo, you are doing it yourself. The soldiers are greatly encouraged and the pace of reclamation will not stop."
Chu Feiyan asked someone to bring the horses over for the two of them and replied with a smile.
"Tomorrow, ask the kitchen to cook more mung bean soup in the morning and send it to the soldiers to relieve the heat. Don't get heat stroke because of opening up wasteland. Either way, you will lose something without tasting it."
In Li Xiuyuan's heart, maintaining combat effectiveness is also a very important link.
Chu Feng took the war horse brought by the guard and said to Li Xiuyuan: "I will say hello to them when I get back in the evening."
Chu Feiyan looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Generalissimo, will you continue tomorrow?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Put more effort and work for a few more days. As long as the seeds are sown, I will give everyone a holiday and recuperate for the war."
"Princess Qingyue of Silver Moon would definitely be furious if she knew that you still wanted to fight her when you were clearing up wasteland."
Chu Feiyan laughed loudly and walked back with Li Xiuyuan.
...
The next day...the third day...the ninth day, one hundred thousand troops were busy outside the city for half a month, and finally nearly three thousand acres of land were reclaimed and sown.
Even General Chu Wudi couldn't help being shocked when he saw it: "If we cultivate these thousands of acres of land, we will at least provide more than half of the food and grass for the army. Even if we survive with Yinyue's army until next spring, we won't be afraid anymore."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the neat rows of land and couldn't help but admire: "It's easier to do things with more people. If we just rely on the people in Guanli, it will be impossible."
"This method is good. It seems that even if there is no war in the future, the garrison in each region can follow suit. Each region government will provide military supplies and grass, and the army will solve half of it by itself."
Chu Feiyan said with a smile that Li Xiuyuan was like a golden doll in his heart.
"If the generals knew it was my idea, they would scold me behind my back." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, you really dare to think about this.
"It's okay. When the time comes, it will be issued according to the imperial decree. Let's see who talks too much."
Chu Feiyan thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Did the Grand Marshal do this before in the Academy? Or did he do it on Luoxia Mountain? Why do I feel so familiar with the Marshal?"
"How do I know? This may be a memory from my previous life. I only hunted in the academy and never farmed." Li Xiuyuan grabbed a handful of soil and said lightly.
After fighting this war, he decided to return to the back mountain of the academy to practice.
Because to go to the Shura Heaven Realm and the wilderness, you have to start from Wangyue Stream in the academy. Even Chu Feng doesn't know this secret.
The road to spiritual practice is still long, and he cannot spend all his attention on the battles in the secular world.
"In two days, it will be the Beginning of Summer. Would you like the Grand Marshal to spend it with everyone?" Chu Feiyan raised her head and glanced at the decisive battle in the distance, and suddenly said something.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and sighed: "I don't know yet. I have to go back and ask Xiao Qing and Xiao Long'er. After all, you also know my situation. I have a younger sister there."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feiyan nodded and replied: "I forgot about this matter. You can arrange everything by yourself."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at her and continued with a smile: "At this time, I don't know if your sister and the Imperial Master have returned to the imperial city. You won't be angry if I ask them to go back, right?"
Thinking of Chu Ruoyu's unwilling look before leaving, Li Xiuyuan suddenly discovered this problem.
"If it doesn't work, call her back... After all, this is a battlefield, and she has never experienced life and death. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
Chu Feiyan looked at him and said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "Having said that, if you want her to grow up quickly, you can only face the slaughter of the Silver Moon army with the soldiers on the battlefield."
Chu Feiyan sighed softly and said: "I thought that at this time in previous years, everyone would be in peace. I didn't expect that Princess Qingyue would do this."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied calmly: "If they want to play, we will play with them. Don't worry!"
The two looked at the cultivated land, as if they were seeing the harvest season in autumn.
...
For more than half a month after returning to the decisive battle from Black Salt City, Qingyue had not been seen leading the Silver Moon army. Li Xiuyuan felt that he was about to become a real farmer.
Sitting in the room, stroking Xiao Longer's black hair, Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "I have been digging for a long time and missed lunch. I am so hungry. Go and ask Sister Xiaoqing to help me find some." delicious."
Xiao Long'er nodded and was about to run to fight Xiao Qing. Li Xiuyuan grabbed her and asked, "Where did you go this morning? Has my sister taught you how to practice swordsmanship in the past two days?"
Xiao Long'er stretched out his little hand and used his hand as a sword to strike at Li Xiu Yuan: "Sister Xiao Qing forces me to practice sword practice after getting Xiao Long'er up every day."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said softly: "You use this wooden sword first. When you get to the Shura battlefield, I will give you the nameless sword. That sword is more powerful."
Xiao Longer nodded and ran out the door on tiptoes.
Before Li Xiuyuan could drink two cups of hot tea, Chu Feng walked in.
Without waiting for Li Xiuyuan to pour him tea, he took a teacup from the table, poured it in and took a sip.
"Some soldiers have reported that the soil in the Heishui River is too hard and the excavation efficiency is too low. I want you to come up with a solution!"
After drinking half a cup of hot tea and sitting down against the table, Chu Feng began to chatter.
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and recalled the scene where he went to the Heishui River a few days ago to watch Wei Qing lead a group of soldiers to dig ditches. He thought that the land here was indeed very hard.
Even if there are many people, they can't dig much, which is a troublesome thing.
After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Then dig slowly. I don't have any good ideas... I tell everyone that it is the last way to save lives in this war. No matter what, the construction period must be guaranteed."
Chu Feng was startled, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Is it so serious?"
"How about you become the generalissimo? I'll give it a try. I also want to be lazy and not think about things!" Li Xiuyuan looked at him and replied seriously.
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a long time, looked at Chu Feng and said, "Revise the plan. Starting from tomorrow, the army will cancel their vacation and use all their strength to dig out this ditch for me."
When Chu Feng heard this, he thought about it and applauded repeatedly: "This is a good idea. Hurry up and complete the construction period. This will give you more confidence for the next war."
"Let's arrange it like this. Let the army concentrate all its strength and solve this biggest issue first. Before the Silver Moon Kingdom's army comes over."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Chu Feng and smiled: "I'll ask you to arrange this when you get back."
For Li Xiuyuan, the terrain outside the decisive battle is simply a natural battlefield. There are at least fifty miles of low-lying areas, which provides a natural and favorable terrain for him to arrange his troops.
Especially the extremely narrow area outside the decisive victory pass and the 300-foot low-lying land gave him a good idea to dig holes and bury people.
He believed that with the current ten-foot-wide moat, dozens of miles of plotting in the wilderness, and improved weapons, he could keep the Silver Moon Kingdom's cavalry out of the decisive battle.
