Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Without enough food and grass, the Dragon Army would not advance rashly. Doing so would be irresponsible for their own lives.

After the Second Lai Company attacked Gaicheng and Laiyuan City, they already had a large number of Liao people in their hands. It would take time to place these people, and even guarding them would waste a lot of troops.

Third, and most importantly, right in front of Laiyuan City is Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, Liao Kingdom. This is an absolutely big city, but it cannot be swallowed up by just one people's army.

Even if your own strength is not enough, then wait a while.Su Shi has already sent word that he is coming here with the other main forces of the Dragon Kingdom. Before the main force arrives, everything is focused on stabilizing the current situation.

After the Dragon Army captured Laiyuan City, it finally stopped advancing. This made the Liao nobles in Tokyo breathe a sigh of relief after learning the news.

Although Liaoyang City in Tokyo is large, there are still [-] Liao soldiers stationed there, so there is no problem in defending the city.But only the dignitaries who were among them knew that these so-called [-] Liao soldiers had no time to train at all. The existence of these soldiers meant more time for them to do private work.

For example, when there is something to do at home that requires a lot of manpower, it will be arranged for these [-] Liao soldiers.It would be more accurate to say that they are coolies rather than soldiers.

They really don't have much confidence in how effective such an army can be, let alone facing the powerful Dragon Army.

This is also due to the fact that the Liao Kingdom has become more peaceful in recent years.

When there are no enemies around, individuals will relax their vigilance and slack off the army.

Service.

Even if they could not solve the problem by their own abilities, the powerful people in Tokyo jointly wrote to Shangjing City and Liao Xingzong, asking them to speed up the dispatch of reinforcements.

......

Shangjing.

Once the news came that Gaizhou, Laiyuan City, Huinong City and Ji'an were lost one after another, and even Tokyo Prefecture was threatened, Liao Xingzong could no longer sit still.

Above the court, Liao Xingzong got angry in front of the ministers. First he cursed Su Shi for being unethical, and then said that the ministers were useless.

Facing the emperor's accusation, the ministers below all lowered their heads, but it was difficult for anyone to be convinced.

It was Xingzong of Liao Dynasty who agreed to lend the road to Su Shi, so that he could go to Goryeo, and the current situation emerged.

They had also decided to take action against Su Shi before, which led to the current unfavorable situation.

As for saying it's useless?

If Su Shi is so easy to deal with, among those who have fought against him before, has anyone ever made a profit?

To say it was useless, it was because everyone was useless, and it was also because the Dragon Army under Su Shi's command was too powerful.

After scolding and cursing, Liao Xingzong asked Yelu Renxian among the ministers how much time he needed to assemble the army.

"Your Majesty, I am already speeding up the process, but because the troops mobilized are all elite troops, we should be able to almost complete the assembly in three months."

Yelu Ren first told the truth. His opponent was Su Shi, so he could not be careless or careless. He had to be an elite teacher.

Even if it is an elite division, it needs to be mobilized from all over the country. The assembly of 40 troops only took three or four months. Considering the transportation at the time, it was indeed very fast.

Yelvren has already

He worked very hard, but Liao Xingzong was not satisfied with the result.

three months?

In three months, I am afraid that Su Shi will capture Tokyo City. If so, the Dragon Army can rush into the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom at any time. If that is the case, even if one day the Liao Kingdom can capture the Dragon Army If the army were to drive him out, I'm afraid his vitality would have been severely damaged.

This result was not what Liao Xingzong wanted to see.

"No, three months is too long. I'm giving you three days." Liao Xingzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said.

"Three days? This... this time is simply not enough." Yelvren shook his head first, looking very embarrassed.

"Why is it not enough? Now you have assembled 10 elite troops, haven't you? In this way, you first send these 40 people to Tokyo. There are also many local armies there, and they can all be placed under your command. Save Tokyo first. Besides, as long as the situation is stable, we will have enough time to deploy our troops. In this way, after March, when all [-] elite divisions are assembled, you will send your troops south. This time, you must hit In the hometown of the Dragon Empire, we have to defeat Su Shi at once, and it is best to capture him alive, so as to tell the world what the consequences will be for those who dare to be enemies with us Liao people."

As soon as these words came out, Yelvren breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just to stabilize the situation, and there was no need to start a war with the main force of the Dragon Army immediately, which made him feel relieved.

What he was afraid of was that His Majesty would let him take these [-] elites to attack. Doing so would be tantamount to engaging in a fueling tactic, which is a taboo in the art of war.But if we just assemble the troops in another place, there will be no problem.

"The minister obeys the order."

Yelvren recognized the decree first and then followed it up.

With Yeluren going to Tokyo first, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.What they are afraid of is that if Tokyo is lost, the dragon army will eventually kill them. If so, then they will be in danger.

Now, as long as the Dragon Army can be blocked in the area south of Tokyo, their safety will be guaranteed.All the ministers shouted "Your Majesty is wise."

The meeting ended in this seemingly happy atmosphere.After the court meeting, Zhang Jian, the envoy of the Third Division, caught up with Yelv Renxian and once again emphasized that troops must not be sent easily unless 40 elite troops were assembled to crush him.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry. I know how to do it. We will never take the initiative until the army is mobilized in place." Yelvren also nodded in agreement.

Yelvren had never looked down upon Su Shi. Although the two had never fought against each other, he could tell from the records of other Liao generals that this person was difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, this time, he has the power to mobilize an elite army of 40, which makes him full of confidence in this battle.

Speaking of the current number of troops in the Liao Kingdom, it can really be said that it is at its peak period in history. This is also because of the low-priced grain provided by Su Shi, which is lower than the cost of farmers' cultivation. This allows the Liao Kingdom to appear in large numbers. At the same time, it also liberated more labor force, allowing more Liao people to join the army.

When thinking about this problem, Yelvren first looked at Zhang Jian and said, "There is no problem with high-yield grain. With 40 elite troops gathered in one place, the grain and grass consumed every day will be one day."

Literary figures, nothing can go wrong. "

"General, please rest assured on this point. Last year, I tried to grow the high-yielding grain, and the effect was very good. After requesting His Majesty's decree this year, I added the planting area. There will definitely be no problem. The grain needed by the army will be enough." The officials will do their best to raise funds and will not embarrass the general."

"That's good, that's good." Seeing how confident Zhang Jian was when talking about this, Yelvren felt relieved.

As long as there is enough food and there is no problem with the army's logistics, even if he cannot defeat Su Shi and regain the lost territory, he is still confident that he can defend Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo and prevent Long's army from taking a step forward.

After the two agreed on the matter, they soon separated.Three days later, Yelv Renxian took the lead in gathering [-] elite Liao troops and set off from Shangjing City towards Tokyo City.

......

Come to Yuancheng from Kaizhou.

Su Shi arrived here in a Wrangler. Although the road was difficult, fortunately, the quality of the Wrangler was very good among off-road vehicles. Except for some bumps that could be felt in certain sections of the road, the journey was smooth. At least the vehicle never broke down.

As soon as Su Shi arrived, large quantities of military rations and equipment appeared all around, completely solving the Dragon Army's logistics problems.

News had come from Mei Yang, the insider. After Su Shi learned that Yelvren was heading towards Tokyo with [-] elite Liao cavalry, he was not only unafraid, but also had a smile on his face.

No one knew that this was exactly what Su Shi wanted to see.

Although Su Shi has occupied the entire Goryeo, in the final analysis, his background is still too poor. There are still figures of powerful and aristocratic families in the Dragon Empire.

, some things have survived for hundreds of years and cannot be eliminated overnight.

Since the internal situation was not completely stable, Su Shi would make an enemy of the behemoth Liao Kingdom. This was not a wise move.Only Su Shi had the system in place, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to have such an idea.

Domestic matters were left to Fu Bi and others, and the power of life and death was given to him. With the complete cooperation of Zheng Zhi, a local snake, it was only a matter of time before some remaining problems there were solved.

During this period of time, Su Shi came to Laiyuan City in order to make complete preparations for the next battle with the Liao army.

At this time, the Liao Kingdom was too strong. Especially after the low-priced grain provided by Su Shi last year, the Liao Kingdom's military strength was constantly rising. According to the results of Long Yin's investigation, the current Liao Kingdom only had an army. The number reached nearly 300 million.

When the number of troops reaches such a huge level, even if the dragon army can defeat ten of them, they will still be unable to fight on the battlefield.

Fighting head-on is definitely not a good idea. To be honest, it is not even a bad idea, because even if it is a victory, it will be a miserable victory. Once all the elites of the Dragon Army are wiped out, Su Shi will have too many good things in his hands. , no one is available, which is also a troublesome thing.

Even if he couldn't fight head-on, Su Shi chose a war of attrition.

Su Shi has been digging holes for the Liao Kingdom since last year. Now it seems that the results are about to come out. Su Shi really wants to see how many people the Liao Kingdom can gather once there is no new food to supplement it. The army, to pose a threat to yourself?

Su Shi, who had an idea in mind, the first thing he did after arriving in Laiyuan City

Qing just took out the drawings that had been drawn up long ago. "Build the watchtowers in this way. Don't consider the cost. The more you build, the better. To form a dense network, just lay it outside Laiyuan City. I want the enemy to come and watch the tower. Excited and sighing."
