Come to Song Dynasty with the system

It was the addition of these [-] soldiers that gave the Yi family enough confidence. They believed that with these troops, it was not impossible to defend the city for ten and a half days, or even longer.

Speaking of the era without artillery and explosives, it was not uncommon for a city to be defended for several months, or even for one or two years.As long as there are enough food and soldiers in the city, it will not be easy to capture it.

Just as Yi Yangxian said, he indeed sent people out of the city to ask for help.Coincidentally, General Yelv Renxian of the Liao Kingdom was gathering the Liao army in Lekang City of Taizhou (west of Changchun City), which was not too far from Anzhou.

Su Shi gave one month during the negotiation. Although he was ten days ahead of schedule, the Liao Kingdom was not completely unprepared and had already assembled some troops.After learning about what happened in Anzhou City, Yelv Ren directly sent his general Shen Yong and gave him one hundred thousand elite soldiers, so that he could rush to Anzhou City first to participate in the battle here, and he himself He continued to mobilize troops, and when the main force was assembled, he would personally lead the army to attack the territory of the Dragon Empire.

Mr. Yelvren is still very optimistic about this battle.After all, this time the upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom have united their opinions, which is to gather a large army to deal with the Dragon Army.

For this reason, not only did the Liao Kingdom decide to send 80 to [-] troops, but an army of [-] Mengqi troops had already been dispatched and were heading towards them.

With an absolute advantage in military strength, Mr. Yelvren really couldn't see the Long Army's chances of winning.

After Shen Yong received the military order, he ordered his troops and left overnight.This news was also detected by the Longyin team members lurking in Lekang City, and they reported to the superiors using a walkie-talkie.

Liaobin City, Liaozhou.

Su Shi took the soldiers of the guard regiment into the city to rest.

As the ancients said, it is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to establish a country.Su Shi now really feels it.

Every time a city is captured, it is equivalent to facing the management problem of a new city.

People need to eat, have jobs to do, clothes to wear, medical care to see, and houses to live in.In addition, business needs to develop, order needs to be in order, etc. All of these require him to make the final decision.

Although Fu Bi and others from the Ministry of Government Affairs and peasant representatives helped to stabilize people's hearts, when it came to major issues, he, the emperor, still had to make the final decision.

This was thanks to Su Shi's system. No matter whether it was food, accommodation or drinking, he couldn't stop him. Otherwise, it would not be that easy to solve this problem when he was so poor.

After taking over more cities, Su Shi finally understood why it was so difficult for one country to annex another country in ancient times.This is not only powerful militarily, but also extremely powerful civilly, which requires a lot of food, gold and silver to achieve.

Usually, when a country vigorously develops its military, its economy will not be able to keep up.On the contrary, as the economy becomes stronger, the military side will inevitably be unable to take care of it.

This is why you can't have your cake and eat it too, which is why some ambitious emperors in history were unable to accomplish much in their limited lives.

Again, thanks to the system, Su Shi believed that he could do what many people wanted to do but couldn't.

Not long after Su Shi appeared in Liaobin City, a lot of civilian supplies soon appeared fifty miles outside the city, and they were connected to the city by carriages, solving the conflicts and problems in the city.When the people have food to eat and their safety is guaranteed, usually they will not cause trouble.

Even though they were taken over by Han people rather than Liao soldiers, many people still didn't care.

No matter what national sentiments or national justice, in the eyes of these lower-class people, they will voluntarily follow whoever can make them live a good life.

On the contrary, even people of the same ethnic group will rebel if it becomes very difficult to survive with him.

With sufficient supplies and careful explanations from the farmers' representatives walking around the streets, many large households were arrested. Without their troublemaking, the city quickly became as orderly as before.

"Huh!" Su Shi exhaled a long breath and looked at Su Shi who had lost some faith points and didn't care very much.As more and more territory is occupied, more and more people are under the rule, and the number of faith points that can be collected every day is not a small number. At least it can still cope with the current situation.

The people's livelihood problems in Liaobin City have been solved. Just when Su Shi was thinking about resting here for one night and where he would go to build a city to transport supplies tomorrow morning, a new news came over. One hundred thousand elite Liao troops were sent from Lekang. He left the city and headed straight for Anzhou City.

Su Shi had received the battle report from Anzhou and knew that the First Division of the People's Army had won a great victory there. Next, they were going to take advantage of the situation to capture Anzhou. Su Shi readily agreed to this request.But now it seems that the Liao army has increased its troops again. If you point to the First Division of the People's Army and want to solve the problem there, it will not be so easy.

It's not that Su Shi has no confidence in the Long Army, but he knows that the strength of the First Division of the People's Army is limited and there is no problem in dealing with the Yi family. However, if one hundred thousand Liao troops are added and they are still elite, the result is hard to say.

"Lou Yang, inform the Black Cavalry Reinforcement Regiment and the Second Brigade of the Dragoon Army to move towards Anzhou. Also inform Meng Youde that the plan he proposed before can be implemented."

Su Shi's character is destined to not be the kind of person who is passively beaten. Now that there is a war with the Liao Kingdom, he is already ready for a bloody battle to the end.

But again, the Liao Kingdom is too big. With the current strength of the Dragon Empire, it is not impossible to annex them, but it will take time.But what Su Shi lacked most was time, so he decided to attack from both internal and external aspects. He could not give the Liao Kingdom a chance to gather a large army. If these Liao soldiers really gathered, it would be very difficult to eat them. .

Lou Yang agreed and immediately went out to issue orders.That is to say, that night, Meng Youde, the person in charge of Longyin, who had arrived in the capital city of Liao Kingdom, received this new order, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

Although the Dragon Empire has not been established for a long time, the internal competition is also very fierce.

Not to mention the competition within the Longyin department, let's talk about the outside. After them, Su Shi established two important power departments, Longya and Longyiwei.

Although it is said that Longya is responsible for operations and Longyiwei is responsible for internal supervision, they are both intelligence departments, and many of their businesses have some overlap.

In other words, everyone may be replaced. As a result, how much power everyone will have in the future depends on what kind of achievements they can make.

As the person in charge of Longyin, Meng Youde naturally felt the pressure.Before this battle, when Su Shi ordered them to sneak into the capital of Liao Kingdom and prepare to cause internal trouble and instigate rebellion, he knew that his opportunity had come.

If Long Yin wants to have more power and more available resources in the future, this time is an opportunity to show off his skills and make great achievements.

After arriving in Shangjing, Meng Youde made various preparations. It can be said that he did a lot of paving the way. Now that it is finally time to take action, how can he not be excited.

He reached out and took out the walkie-talkie, tuned to their Longyin's internal channel, and Meng Youde said, "Get Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xi, the foreign minister of the Dragon Empire, also came to Shangjing with an important mission.

Su Shi had said before the war that the Liao Kingdom was too big, and with the current strength of the Dragon Army, it would be too stressful to defeat them on the frontal battlefield.

The best way is to fight in a multi-faceted manner.

It refers to starting from all directions, including diplomatic war, public opinion war, economic war, alienation war, etc., and combining it with war to eat up the main force of the Liao army in one bite, and finally achieve the goal of destroying the Liao army just like the destruction of Goryeo. country’s destination.

As the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Xi will naturally play a very important role in this.

This time he secretly came to Zhongjing to cooperate with the Longyin Department in engaging in diplomatic wars, public opinion wars and alienation wars.

Zhang Xi received a message from Meng Youde, the person in charge of this operation.

Regarding Meng Youde, Zhang Yi had long heard of his name, knew some of his early experiences, and also knew how much Emperor Long Shi valued him. Therefore, despite his rank, he was obviously not up to par, at least not compared to himself as a scholar. , but even though the other party was appointed as the general person in charge this time, he still decided to cooperate well.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Xi went out. Although it was already dark, he believed that such a time was often the best time for him to act.

As the capital of the Liao Kingdom, Shangjing City was considered a prosperous place in comparison. There was no curfew at night. On the contrary, at night, there were not many fewer people on the streets than during the day.

When Zhang Xi went out, he sent someone to find Meiyang first. This Su stone had been buried in the Liao Kingdom a long time ago.

The two had met before and made some preparations. Now they were just waiting for the last moment to arrive.After receiving the news, Mei Yang also went out and went directly to the residence of the Privy Councilor in the South Courtyard. He found Huang Youguang, the steward here, met with him and explained his purpose of coming.

Mei Yang is one of the staff of Xiao Hui, the owner of the mansion, and is familiar with Huang Youguang, the housekeeper here.In addition, I had already done some work to find the other party a while ago, and gave him a large amount of money, so I had already bribed him.

After Huang Youguang accepted the money, he naturally knew that he would do things for others next.After Mei Yang repeatedly assured that this meeting was for Master Xiao Hui's benefit, he was finally persuaded and agreed.

"What a coincidence, the master is at home today and has not gone out to the banquet, but it is a good time to meet. But Brother Mei, is this matter really for the good of the master? The master will not resent me for this, right? You also know, if the master is right If I have an opinion, I will not be able to continue my job as a housekeeper. If I do something wrong, my life will be in danger."
