Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Dawn came as soon as he woke up, but as soon as he woke up, a soldier stood in front of him with some trepidation.

"What's going on? What happened?" Seeing the soldier's expression, Luo Changmeng felt bad in his heart.

"General...General, our scouts have just sent news that the six towers we captured yesterday have been repaired again, and dragon troops are stationed inside. The scouts went to investigate the situation, and returned with one dead and one injured. ..."

"what?"

Before the soldiers could finish speaking, Luo Changmeng had already jumped off the bed and began to pierce the armor. Then he rode out and came to the six towers that were captured yesterday. Looking from a distance, he saw one of theirs. The scout was dragged into a nearby watchtower by the Dragon Army, covered in blood.

That watchtower was one of the watchtowers that was captured during the day. A mouthful of old blood almost spurted out of Luo Changmeng's mouth.

I thought that after a day's effort and three thousand generals' casualties, six towers were finally demolished, which could not be said to be without success. However, who would have thought that after just one night, everything would be back to normal.

From this point of view, wouldn't it mean that as many watchtowers as they captured during the day would be restored at night?

If this is the case, even if the Liao soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, how many more lives will be needed to see hope?

"Let's go, let's go find the general." Luo Changmeng really had no choice, so he thought of asking Yelvren for advice first.

The main camp of the Liao army outside Liaoyang City, Tokyo.

In the main tent, Yelv Renxian's face was ashen, obviously something unpleasant had happened.

In the big tent, Gaizhao

General Yin and other generals were watching carefully, and no one dared to make any sound.

At this time, Luo Changmeng came over on horseback. He didn't know what happened. As soon as he entered the tent, he recounted the situation on the front line like he was vomiting bitterness.

Yelvren, whose face was not good at first, now looked even more ugly, his eyes looked like they could kill someone.

He never thought that Su Shi would adopt such a shameless approach.

I originally thought that I came with 40 elite Liao troops. After adding the nearby local troops, there were a full 50. If things were done, it would not be impossible to destroy the Dragon Empire.

Even if it cannot do this, it is enough to use human life to frighten the dragon army and make them surrender.When that time comes, I will definitely have made a great contribution.

But what he never expected was that Su Shi would not confront him head-on, but instead created this disgusting watchtower in a defensive posture.

He already knew the results of yesterday's battle.Only six watchtowers were captured in one day, and a lot of losses were incurred.

To be honest, Yelv Renxian did not like this result.However, I thought that this was my first time fighting against the Diaolou, and I would gradually accumulate experience. When I found a suitable method in the future, I would definitely be able to capture more Diaolou and break the bastard formation set up by Su Shili.

But unexpectedly, in one night, the results of the day were snatched away again. If so, when will it end?

Of course, what made Mr. Yelvren even more angry was not this, but the fact that Yelu Zhiwei in Liaoyang City had just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that there was no food in the city, and that the Liao army would have to raise food on their own.

What to open

It’s a joke. How much food does a 50-strong army need to consume in a day? It’s simply impossible to prepare it yourself.

Without the low-priced grain provided by Su Shi, many fields in the Liao Kingdom were still deserted. Under such circumstances, he could not find a place to grab grain.

Once there is no food, how can the soldiers fight without having enough to eat?

As time goes by, it would be strange if nothing happens, and when something does happen, it will be a big deal.

Besides, the majestic Liao Kingdom's Liaoyang City in Tokyo would have no food supplies, and he would not believe it even if he killed Yelvren.

This must be because they saw that there was a food shortage, and Yelu Zhiwei and the others wanted to make a lot of money from it, so they found this excuse.

It's ridiculous to think about it. In the face of a powerful enemy, everyone is not thinking about how to drive out the Dragon Army, but they are still considering their own interests. In this case, it would be strange to win the war without working together.

After Yelu Ren figured it out first, he angrily beat up the people sent by Yelu Zhiwei and sent them back.He was venting his dissatisfaction, but in doing so, he also knew that by doing so, he was tantamount to offending Yelu Zhiwei and the dignitaries in Liaoyang City.

But I really can’t vent my anger if I don’t fight.

The bad news came one after another. Yelvren felt mentally and physically exhausted for a while, and finally realized the powerlessness that the generals of Liao had when they faced Su Shi.

"Let the army stop attacking, and at the same time reduce the training time, and wait until the general reports the situation to Your Majesty." Considering that there was no food and no way to defeat the enemy, Yelvren decided to wait and wait.As for not allowing the army to drill, it is completely a way to save food.

As soon as the army moves, it will eat

There will be more, but now there is no food, so I can only do nothing and try not to consume too much physical energy.

The Liao army did not counterattack the next day. This made Ji Zhu confused. He quickly contacted Su Shi and asked for instructions on what to do next.

Su Shi's voice sounded in the headset, "What should we do? Of course we will continue training."

"Your Majesty, will the Liao army launch an attack?" Ji Zhu raised his doubts.

"I don't know if it's possible, but I won't attack in the short term. Hahaha, they are short of food. Okay, you have to keep an eye on their every move and report any situation at any time."

Su Shi hung up the contact, Ji Zhu touched his head and said with a silly smile: "The Liao army is short of food, so what a slap, hahaha."

......

The imperial capital of the Liao army went to the capital.

In the palace hall, Liao Xingzong threw the memorial written by Yelvren first towards the courtiers below.

"Take a good look at what those people in Liaoyang City are thinking. They are still thinking about their own interests and personal gains and losses when facing a national crisis? If Daliao didn't exist, they would still be alive. How about leaving so much money? What’s the use?”

Liao Xingzong was really angry.

Some people headed by Yelu Zhiwei are so short-sighted and short-sighted. They are really useless.

None of the courtiers standing below dared to take a breath. Otherwise, many of them had already begun to hoard food, waiting to make a fortune in the upcoming food shortage.

Faced with the situation in front of them, this is what they did. How can they be so embarrassed at this time?

To accuse Yelu Zhiwei and the others?

The ministers below did not speak, which made Liao Xingzong stand up even more angrily, "Why are you all mute? Aren't all of them usually very talkative? Now that Daliao is in trouble, you all have to come up with your opinions." Bar."

"Of course, if you can't do anything, then I don't need your help. I will let you know how sharp my sword is when the time comes."

Liao Xingzong had the intention to kill someone. Although he might not be the one who was killed, no one dared to gamble.

In such an instant, the originally silent court suddenly became lively.

Each and every one of them has become a wise star, offering various opinions.

Some people say that they transferred food from all over the country to the front line to continue fighting against the Long Army.

Some people say that peace talks can be considered, stabilizing Su Shi first, and then fighting again when the domestic situation is better.

Others said that they could consider trading grains with Su Shi privately. At the worst, you could just give him some money. How could Su Shi still make money?

Listening to these various opinions, Liao Xingzong was so angry that he almost laughed.

Especially the last one, a private deal with Su Shi, I don't know what the person who proposed this idea thought.

The reality is that we are rivals and enemies of each other, so how could Su Shi sell grain to himself? Isn't this tantamount to capitalizing on the enemy?

Even if money is a good thing, you still have to see if the money is worth it.

The somewhat angry Liao Xingzong ignored the whims of some people and focused on some reliable ministers, wanting to see if they had any useful opinions.

The person who was targeted by Liao Xingzong was Lijiu.

There is Zhang Jian.

Speaking of which, Zhang Jian was favored by Liao Xingzong, otherwise, he would not have been given such an important position as the Third Secretary.Managing a country's money and food is definitely a fat job.

Noticing Liao Xingzong's eyes on him, Zhang Jian knew what he had to say, so he put his right hand to his chest and said with a respectful salute: "Your Majesty, my humble opinion is that there is a shortage of people in the country." Food, it is not suitable for a war now. We should focus on defense, and when the food shortage is over, we can send a large number of troops to the Dragon Empire. But before that, we can follow Su Shi's example and build watchtowers for defense."

"Build a watchtower?" Finally hearing an available suggestion, Liao Xingzong was thinking in his heart when he repeated this sentence.

"Yes, it's about building watchtowers. Since Su Shi can build them, why can't we? With the carved towers, we can also defend. At that time, it was Su Shi who had a headache. Give us a year and wait until next year when the food harvest is good. , it’s not too late to deal with them at that time.”

Zhang Jian spoke, although he also knew that giving Su Shi a chance to develop would not be beneficial to the Liao Kingdom.But who let them fall into the trap before? Now that there is no food available, they cannot afford a decent war.

"Yes, this is a good idea. We will also build watchtowers, as long as it lasts for a year." The other courtiers also felt the opposite way at this moment.

I'm afraid they also know that if they don't accept this opinion now, the emperor will force them to hand over the food in their hands, and their plan to make a fortune will fail. This is definitely not what they want to see.

For these selfish ministers

For a man, whether to build a watchtower or not is of secondary importance. What matters is to keep the grain in his hands so that he can have the opportunity to sell it at a high price.If this idea meets their requirements, they will fully support it.
