I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

But there is a bargain, and it is naturally impossible for Liu Sheng to give up Shanxi.

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "Since military discipline is loose, let's help them."

Ask Lu Yan to notify the blood guards lurking in Yanmen to put on the clothes of the Zhejia Army and carry out sabotage.

Let the people be afraid when they see the Zhe family army.

Liang Shouyi asked from the side: "General, when will we attack Yanmen?"

When to attack Yanmen? Liu Sheng thinks this is a problem.

Now his territory is getting bigger and bigger, but there are not enough soldiers. Not even the 20,000 people training in Yunzhou, there are only 40,000 people in total.

Six thousand were stationed at Wuguan, 10,000 were stationed at various passes in Yunzhou, and 14,000 were scattered across various states to maintain public order.

There are only 20,000 people at hand. With 20,000 people attacking Yanmen, Liu Sheng feels that it is not a big problem. The key is that conquering Yanmen is just the beginning. Liu Sheng wants to go all the way south and occupy the entire Shanxi.

And if Yelu Chun is willing to help Liu Sheng hold back 500,000 Song troops, then more people will be needed to occupy a larger territory.

Liu Sheng thought for a while and said: "Before Zhong Shidao joins forces with Tong Guan, he may come back at any time as long as we attack Yanmen.

So we have to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that makes Master Zhongdao want to retreat but cannot come back.

General Liang has recruited 20,000 soldiers in Yingzhou and Huanzhou each. "

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and everyone continued to watch the army leave without looking back.

A fat man panted and reined in his horse and said, "General, today the common people are holding a ceremony for you. Why are you here?"

"I'm still waiting for you to say a few words!"

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "It's nothing. I'll send General Zhong to the Northern Expedition. Let's go back!"

After two months, Liu Sheng invested in disaster relief and construction regardless of the cost, and all the people in Yingzhou lived in brick houses. For this reason, they specially chose today to celebrate.

Wang Liao walked behind, talking to Liu Sheng.

"General, now that the people's houses have been built, can we stop providing assistance to them? Although the heavy snow has destroyed their houses, food and other supplies are still there."

"If we continue to provide assistance as we do now, within a month, the four prefectures of Yinghuan Shuowu will be out of food. Yunzhou can still resist because it has not accepted refugees and has many temples. It was developed late."

Liu Sheng was silent. He didn't care about having no money or anything. But food is not enough.

People can have no money, but they cannot live without food.

Moreover, his plan has not yet been launched, and the army has also been expanded.

Liu Sheng said: "If we stop providing assistance to the people, how long can we last?"

Wang Liao said without thinking: "It's less than three months, and there's still half a month's worth of food."

There is something wrong with this account! The combined number of people in several states, several million, is less than enough to feed them in a month. Just three months for 100,000 people?

Wang Liao wiped the impure sweat as usual and said: "General, this is not how the accounts are calculated.

Those victims who moved their families south had nothing.

If the government does not support them, then everything we have done before will be in vain. "

Liu Sheng suddenly lost his temper. He forgot that he still had hundreds of thousands of mouths.

The plan can never keep up with the changes. He originally wanted to drag Song Guo to death. It seems that if this delay continues, Song Guo will die or not. He will collapse first.

"Stop the brick factory and focus on making cement. Those who don't work will have two meals a day."

Then he chased Liang Shou on horseback and said, "General Liang, get ready. We will attack Yanmen in five days."

Liang Shouyi was also stunned. That's not what he said before!

Without waiting to ask questions, Liu Sheng rode forward.

Liang Shouyi was very puzzled. He looked at Wang Liao who was following behind him and said, "Sir, what is going on?"

Wang Liao said with a smile: "It's nothing. I see that the general has been slacking off recently. Give him some motivation."

Just as Wang Liao was about to leave, Liang Shouyi grabbed him and said, "Say something understandable."

Wang Liao smiled bitterly and said: "Because we are poor, if the general doesn't attack Yanmen, we will starve to death."

.....

Liu Sheng said a few words casually and left the people's gathering. Now he had too many things to do.

I originally wanted to go back to Shuozhou to see Yu Hui, but it seemed that it would be a long time later.

Liu Sheng, led by Lu Yan, immediately inspected the artillery.

It has to be said that the artillery made by these craftsmen is getting more and more wild, and the caliber is getting larger and larger. Liu Sheng actually saw a 300 mm caliber artillery.

Liu Sheng patted the dark muzzle of the cannon in surprise and asked Lu Yan, "What is this cannon called? How far can it shoot?"

Lu Yan quickly looked through the map in his hand and said: "This cannon is called the Mountain Bombing Cannon. It is said that it can hit a distance of twenty miles, and its power is amazing. It can still blast down a mountain at twenty miles away. As the name suggests.

This cannon is one battle long, one and a half feet wide, and weighs two thousand four hundred kilograms.

Liu Sheng looked at the three-meter-long barrel and fell into deep thought. Is this thing really suitable on the battlefield?

You can fight for twenty miles, but at twenty miles you may not even be able to see anyone.

Lu Yan saw Liu Sheng looking at the cannon and thought Liu Sheng liked such long-range and powerful artillery.

Reported to Liu Sheng: "The craftsmen are developing a cannon with a larger caliber that can hit targets thirty miles away.

Liu Sheng was completely convinced by these old guys. What skill tree did he click on wrongly?

Can't we slowly develop it according to the drawings he gave us?

Why do you have to use your own imagination?

What's the point of firing artillery thirty miles away? Just to hit the distance? Wasting more gunpowder?

There is no accuracy at all, you can't even see the target, just point in a random direction and bombard it for thirty miles, and then what?

It's useless even if you don't know whether the target has been destroyed.

It's true that the caliber is large, as long as the range is enough, at least you have to know where you are shooting!

Otherwise, like India, if I develop an intercontinental missile, I will be afraid of launching it.

Are you afraid of the long distance, or not? But even I don’t know where he will end up. Are you afraid?

What's the use? Liu Sheng quickly stopped and said, "Let them make the cannon smaller for me."

It's best to let someone pick it up and hit it with one hand. The power can be smaller, but it must be able to break armor. "

"In addition, the accuracy of the artillery must be improved. You can't say where to hit. At least seven or eight of the ten shots will hit."

"Send the large-caliber, long-range artillery that has been cast to the Khitan people. They are defending the city and using it on the grasslands."

Liu Sheng held his forehead. If he hadn't checked the fire depot on a whim, he wouldn't have known that the craftsmen had been released to such an extent.

After checking, Liu Sheng found that these craftsmen were still working hard. At least there were no artillery with a range of less than one mile.

But they are too big. If they are defending the city and fighting on the plains, there will naturally be no problem.

The Marathas can drag them, but they are about to attack Shanxi, which is all mountainous. This kind of giant cannon will drag their march quickly.
