Li Yanqing walked down the city from the corridor, and the situation in the city was not optimistic. Most of the turbulent barrels and fireballs fired by the Jin army fell into the city. The city was once engulfed by raging fires, but now the fire has been extinguished and the land has been burned to the dark. On the ground a little further away, there were corpses, mostly auxiliary soldiers who were burned or killed by the rocks, with about dozens of people.

"The commander of Qibian, this is only a part of the injured and injured brothers. Most of the bodies were transported away, and about 500 casualties were killed or killed." A side general stepped forward to report to Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing nodded. After seeing too many casualties, he was a little numb. Five hundred and fifty people were just two numbers for him, and it could no longer arouse too much his feelings.

At this time, Li Yanqing saw hundreds of female guards cleaning and bandaging the wounds at the base of the city wall. The wounded soldiers had just come down from the city and there were hundreds of people. They needed to stop the bleeding in time and clean and bandage them. The seriously injured were carried to the military doctor for treatment.

At this time, Li Yanqing saw Hu Qing'er. She was commanding several auxiliary soldiers to carry more than a dozen seriously injured people away on stretchers. "Can they all save their lives?" Li Yanqing walked to her and asked in a low voice.

Hu Qing'er shook her head, "Three people are too seriously injured and are already dying. I guess they can't be saved."

She turned around and saw that Li Yanqing was covered in blood. She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it with a little salt water to wipe Li Yanqing's face. She whispered to him: "You are the commander, there is no need to kill the enemy yourself. If something happens to you, it will seriously affect the morale of the army."

Li Yanqing shook his head with a wry smile, "Everyone is red in his eyes, sometimes he really can't help himself."

At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "Report to the governor, the emperor has arrived!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly gave Hu Qing'er a wink, and Hu Qing'er led people to send more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers away. Li Yanqing quickly walked to the north city gate and saw Zhao Huan under a yellow umbrella surrounded by dozens of important officials and walked over quickly.

Li Yanqing walked up and knelt down on one knee to salute, "My minister Li Yanqing met His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Li Aiqing, please give up the gift!"

Zhao Huan quickly helped him up. Seeing that Li Yanqing was covered in blood, he asked in surprise: "Has Li Dutong also participated in the battle?"

Li Yanqing sighed, "The battle is very fierce. As long as you are on the top of the city, fierce battles will be inevitable."

"How many soldiers were killed or killed?" Zhao Huan asked with concern again.

"The specific statistics have not been released yet, but it is estimated that about 1,700 people were killed, more than 1,200 people were injured, about 3,000 casualties, and nearly 300 auxiliary soldiers were killed."

"What about the enemy?"

"The enemy's casualties should be close to 10,000."

Zhao Huan nodded with relief, "It's not bad, and I have defended the city. Tong Dutong Li is indeed well-known."

"Your Majesty, the pension of the fallen soldiers"

A strange look flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes, and he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry! I promised that the soldiers who were killed in the city will receive double pensions this time."

The strange color in Zhao Heng's eyes was seen by Li Yanqing. He was stunned, but without asking too much, he bowed and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Huan smiled again and said, "I want to go up to the city to see if I can?"

"Please, your Majesty!"

Li Yanqing led Zhao Huan and his ministers to the city along the corridor. The city was also very busy. The wounded soldiers and corpses had been carried down. The craftsmen were nervously inspecting the catapults and fire cannons, while the auxiliary soldiers were busy sorting out various items. The thunder thunder was put into the stone house at the city top, and a bucket of turbulent oil was moved down to the city.

The exhausted soldiers wrapped their bodies tightly with blankets and curled up under the city wall to sleep. No matter how many people came and went, they did not wake them up. Even if the emperor arrived, they did not notice it.

"Dutong Li, don't have to wake them up. I just have to inspect them briefly and let them rest."

"Thank you for your understanding, please go here!"

Li Yanqing brought Zhao Huan to the North City. There were four city gates on the north city wall, namely Chenzhou Gate, Fengqiu Gate, Xinshuo Gate and Weizhou Gate. There was only one city tower, which was Xinshuo Gate.

The new Sour Zaomen City Tower is the command center of the Song army's guarding the city, but it was hit continuously by several huge rocks. The upper part of the city tower seemed a bit fragmented, but the room below was still relatively complete.

However, Zhao Huan did not enter the room, but stood at the city wall with his hands behind his back, silently staring at the distance. The tragic battlefield was certainly shocking, but as the monarch, Zhao Huan was more concerned about the situation in Hebei and Hedong. When will he recover the lost land?

Zhao Huan was originally excited to experience the joy of victory, but now his heart became heavier again. Zhao Huan sighed softly, turned to Li Yanqing and said, "If you have any needs, my dear, even if you discuss with Li Xianggong, the court will do everything possible to support the army."

"I thank Your Majesty for your support!"

Zhao Huan nodded, turned around and walked down the city, got on the dragon chariot and returned to the palace.

At this time, Li Gang walked to Li Yanqing and smiled and said, "Di Tong Li is free, let's talk!"

Li Yanqing nodded and smiled, "I'm about to patrol the city, so we might as well take a walk together."

Li Gang followed Li Yanqing to the city. The two of them turned over and walked slowly along the head of the city.

"How is the progress of the Jin Dynasty's detailed work?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

Li Gang shook his head with a wry smile, "You may be disappointed. After capturing the scouts, there was no progress in the intelligence work. It was a completely headless fly. We don't know where to start?"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Actually, I can give Li Xianggong some suggestions."

Li Gang was excited and hurriedly said, "I hope to listen to General Li's great opinions!"

"I got several Jin Dynasty thunders during the Battle of Taiyuan. They were thrown into the city and did not explode. I asked the craftsmen to conduct research and found that the Jin Dynasty had many shortcomings in creating the thunders. Today, the Jin Dynasty also used giant thunders to attack the city. Although their thunders are powerful, they still did not throw the thunders. This means that their thunderstorm technology has not been able to break through within a few months. I can say that what the Jin Dynasty most desires is to obtain the manufacturing technology of the thunderstorm."

"Li Dutong means that we use the thunder technique as bait to lead to the detailed information of the Jin Kingdom?" Li Gang suddenly understood Li Yanqing's meaning.

Li Yanqing nodded with a smile, "As long as the official commends He Fang, the military weapon supervisor, and rewards him for his contribution to creating thunder, I believe that the detailed information of the Jin Kingdom will definitely contact him and bribe him."

"But He Fang knows the technology?"

"There are two types of gunpowder for the thunder, one is explosive gunpowder and the other is fire-induced gunpowder. He Fang knew the formula for the explosive gunpowder. The Jin Kingdom also knew that the formula for the thunder of the fire-induced gunpowder in the Jin Kingdom was not aware of the thunder. There is also the screw hole creation technology for the thunder spout, which the Jin Kingdom could not do. These two technologies are the key to the ability to thunder far away. I believe that the Jin Kingdom will definitely contact He Fang secretly."

Li Gang nodded, "I understand, thank you for your advice."

The two of them urged the horse to leave for a moment before Li Gang turned the topic to his intention today. It was just a trivial matter that Li Yanqing mentioned.

Li Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "Dong Li, do you know the current situation of the imperial court?"

"What aspect does it mean?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

"It means financial resources!"

Li Gang showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. Although family scandals should not be made public, he asked Li Yanqing for help but could not hide this matter. "To be honest, the court only has 700,000 guan of money left."

This scared Li Yanqing. He had no military expenditure for even a month. The Song Dynasty implemented a recruitment system and had to pay a large amount of military expenditure every month. The military expenditure of the Song Dynasty's million-dollar army had become one of the heaviest burdens of the court. Moreover, during the war, the military expenditure of soldiers doubled, at least 1.5 million jin a month. Now Li Gang told himself that the court had no money.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered a strange look in Zhao Huan's eyes just now. He immediately understood that the court could not afford the double pension of the fallen soldiers. Li Yanqing's face suddenly became gloomy. In three days, it would be a salary. It turned out that this was the real reason why Zhao Huan came to the city to inspect, and let himself solve this problem.

After figuring this out, Li Yanqing was extremely annoyed. The soldiers fought bloody battles with the enemy. Not only did the court not play any role, but it actually dragged the army down.

"What will the court do?"

Li Yanqing no longer had a good face and asked directly: "How can I explain to the soldiers in three days?"

Li Gang's face showed a look of embarrassment, "This official family asked me to discuss this matter with President Li."

"wrong!"

Li Yanqing suddenly realized the loophole in this matter.
