Come to Song Dynasty with the system

The so-called watchtower refers to an arrow tower three feet high.

With such an archery tower, soldiers can hide in it and only need to use their bows and arrows to shoot out to kill the enemy.

Of course, one watchtower is of no use, but what if there are them everywhere?

What if a dense network is formed between the watchtowers, intersecting with each other and helping each other?

At that time, if the Liao army wanted to attack any watchtower, it would mean facing several or even a dozen watchtowers, and it would naturally suffer huge losses.

Su Shi wanted to see how many casualties the Liao army could withstand and how long it could hold out when the towers were erected horizontally.

As long as the Liao army can be kept out, the next step is to wait.After waiting for the Liao army to run out of food, the morale of the army will naturally be in chaos. At that time, Su Shi will lead the Long Army to launch a massive counterattack.

Taking this opportunity, Su Shi can also digest what he has gained from the Liao people in this period, turn the Liao people into the final Han people, and use the enemy's strength to strengthen himself.

Su Shi needs time to develop, and while he is consuming his enemies, he is also developing himself. This is called doing both without delay.

Su Shi arrived in Laiyuan City. After the supplies were complete, watchtowers were erected one by one, and roads were surveyed and constructed.From the construction of the cement road, it can be seen that at this time, Su Shi had regarded the previously occupied Liao territory as his own territory, otherwise, he would not have expended this time and effort.

Besides, Yelv Ren led an army of [-] people out of Shangjing City and arrived at Tokyo City in a dusty journey.

Thanks to the fact that these [-] elites were all cavalry, even so, it still took nearly half a month.

Yelvren rushed to Dongfang first

In Liaoyang Mansion in Beijing, Yelu Zhiwei, a landowner, took the initiative to welcome him with a group of dignitaries in the city.

It can be said that they haven't eaten well or slept well these days. They are worried that the dragon army on the opposite side will come and kill them at any time.Fortunately, in the end, they were still humble. The reinforcements came, but the Dragon Army had not yet killed them. The danger in Tokyo was over.

With a warm reception, not only the granaries in the city were opened to feed these [-] elites, but the [-] Liao soldiers that Tokyo had scraped together before were also given to Yelv Renxian.

These 10 people were the sum of the troops recruited by the dignitaries themselves and transferred from some nearby cities.

What Long Jun did this time really scared them. In order to ensure that they would not be scared in the future, and for the sake of longer-term stability, they all sent it to Yelv Renxian, hoping that he would help train an elite army. division.

The Liao Kingdom is not short of food now. Last year, it bought a lot of food from Su Shi at a low price. Together with Zhang Jian's high-yield grain, there will be a bumper harvest at the end of the year. After feeling confident, he will no longer worry about food. As valued as before.

Yelv Ren was flattered and accepted the kindness of Yelu Zhiwei Xing and others. Thinking that the other elite divisions on the left and right had not arrived yet and were idle, he helped train the [-] troops.

If the army wants to achieve results in training, it will definitely take time, but there is another important prerequisite, which is to manage enough food.

Exercise training is a very physically demanding thing. If you don’t even have enough to eat, you will naturally not be able to participate in high-intensity training. This is why the ancient armies often did not exercise once a day, but three to five days or even The reason why it takes ten days and a half to do it.

This

Once these dignitaries in Tokyo were about to bleed a lot, and the food supply was sufficient, Mr. Yelvren also felt confident. He thought that if he really trained these 10 people, he would have more than 50 troops in his hands, and he would be able to fight with Long. The army became more confident after the first battle.

Yelvren, who accepted the good offer, began to be busy training troops in Tokyo. The Long Army was also busy repairing watchtowers. Both sides were making preparations for the war, but the tense situation was suppressed. Everyone seems to be waiting for the decisive moment to come.

......

Bianliang City.

Inside the palace.

During this period of recuperation, Zhao Zhen's body was no better than before. He was still bedridden. Often when he wanted to stand up and walk, he would find himself weak and short of breath, and had to lie back on the dragon bed again. superior.

The diagnosis given by the palace doctors was that it was caused by shortness of breath and physical weakness.The prescription prescribed was century-old wild ginseng.

Soon, the old wild ginseng originally kept in the palace was quickly used up, but it could only maintain the official's current physical condition. If he wanted to cure the disease, he would need more and older wild ginseng. Can.

Goryeo has been occupied by Su Shi and a new Dragon Empire has been established.If you want to buy wild ginseng, you can only buy it from Su Shi.

In the past, when Zhao Song needed ginseng, he could go by land or sea. Sometimes Korean envoys would even come to Bianliang City to offer ginseng as a sign of surrender.

Goryeo no longer exists, and the Dragon Empire that replaced it cannot offer surrender to them. It is no longer realistic to wait for others to take the initiative to send wild ginseng.

The sea route is now controlled by Fusang. Taking the sea route and the dragon

Imperial transactions were also cut off.

After much deliberation, the only feasible option was the land route.But the problem is that now that the Liao Kingdom and the Dragon Empire are fighting again, taking the land route will inevitably have to pass through the war zone, which is another headache.At least many businessmen in Zhao and Song Dynasties did not have the courage to embark on this road and do the wild ginseng business.

Without older wild ginseng, Zhao Zhen's health would not be able to recover. This became a contradiction, which made the Zhao Song officials have no choice but to collect high-quality wild ginseng from the people. Participate in order to postpone the current problem.

But this was not a long-term solution. After much thought, Zhao Zhen still believed that he should do business with the Dragon Empire as soon as possible, or even buy some wild ginseng to prolong his life.

Concubine Miao, known as the virtuous concubine, came to Yanfu Palace and came to serve Zhao Zhen.

Ever since Zhao Zhen got engaged to Princess Zhao Huirou of Fukang, and the marriage partner was Li Wei, an ugly person from the Li family, Concubine Miao, as a mother, began to be angry with the officials.

She only has one daughter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is her lifeblood.

Although Concubine Miao had long known that the fate of a daughter born into the royal family was bound to be married off, and once she was married, it would be very difficult for mother and daughter to meet.But as a mother, how could she not want her daughter to find a suitable husband?

Concubine Miao Guifei has met Li Wei before.It was Zhao Zhen who was summoned to the palace for her to see, but just at this meeting, she was not attracted to him. She even asked Zhao Zhen if he could change the marriage.It doesn't matter whether the family background is good or not, as long as the man is good-looking and enterprising.

Such a prayer

Naturally, Zhao Zhen couldn't be persuaded to ask for it. He refused on the grounds that the emperor's words were God's will and could not be changed casually.

Soon after, Zhao Huirou escaped from the palace. Concubine Miao was worried about it for a long time. Fortunately, new news came later. Her daughter actually followed Su Shi, and now she has become the so-called The imperial concubine of Emperor Longshi.

Only then did Concubine Miao breathe a sigh of relief.

Regarding Su Shi, let alone watching him grow up, Concubine Miao had been observing Su Shi while he was growing up.This son has a good appearance and a distinguished family background. More importantly, he is very capable. There is no one around him in the imperial court.

The only regret I have is that I have leg problems.But after learning that the leg disease had completely healed, such a man was of course the best son-in-law candidate.

My daughter likes Su Shi, which as a mother may not be felt.But Concubine Miao did not speak out at that time, neither supporting nor opposing.

I am afraid that Concubine Miao at that time did not think that this marriage would have any good results. After all, with Su Shi's abilities and talents, she would not be willing to be a mere attachment and become a decoration.But she didn't want to hurt her daughter's heart, so she treated everything as if she hadn't seen it. The only thing she did was to prevent her daughter from running to Zhaoren Palace and meeting Su Shi.

Now that the cultivation has been completed, her daughter has achieved her wish, and Concubine Miao is also very happy.As for how the Dragon Empire and Zhao Song will get along in the future, and whether there will eventually be a war, this is not a question that she, a woman, should consider.

Now that her daughter has her own happiness, Concubine Miao's resentment towards Zhao Zhen is no longer so great.

She was very happy to be called to serve by an official for the first time.

After all, since the official family entered Yanfu Palace to recuperate, no concubine except Empress Cao could enter it.And after she became No. 1, it proved that she still had a very important position in the hearts of the officials.

No one knows why Concubine Miao's status in Zhao Zhen's heart is unknown. This time, Concubine Miao was called here for another matter, to buy wild ginseng from the Dragon Empire.

After Zhao Zhen expressed his thoughts, Concubine Miao still had some resentment in her heart, but after thinking about it, she was also very happy.She can rest assured that her daughter married Su Shi, but after all, she still can't let go without seeing it with her own eyes.

This time, the officials wanted something from themselves, so they could take this opportunity to investigate.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask my nephew Miao Xiu to visit the Dragon Empire. I think he is willing to come, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away. I heard that there is a war going on over there. The safety is really worrying."

Concubine Miao did not refuse, but instead proposed a suitable candidate, which made Zhao Zhen very happy. "It doesn't matter. I will personally write a letter to the Liao Kingdom. They are currently at war with the Dragon Empire and don't want to offend us. However, I really cannot guarantee the safety of the Dragon Empire."

"It's okay. Su Shi has met Brother Xiu before, so he shouldn't be embarrassed. Besides, Fukang is still in the Dragon Empire, so he can do whatever he can to keep his brother safe." Concubine Miao said excitedly.

"This... is naturally excellent." Zhao Zhen saw a hint of envy in Concubine Miao's eyes when she mentioned Su Shi's name with such confidence.

Su Shi is capable

Zhao Zhen knows this.

For a long time, Zhao Zhen was worried about how to arrange this person.
