Zhao Zhen's words reminded everyone, Xia Zhu instantly felt a chill in his body, if Xijin Mansion could not get other supplies, all the grain and grass would not be able to withstand the more than 200,000 people who ate horses for half a month.

Di Qing was not worried, and said suddenly: "Actually, it doesn't matter, the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Liao, and it is not difficult to open a unified road......

Zhao Zhen shook his head and denied his words: "It's not difficult, but have you ever thought about it, what is my plan?" It's not as simple as simply defending Xijin Mansion, don't forget, what I want to take is not only Xijin Mansion, but also not only this Nanjing Dao, and even the entire Yanyun, what I want to take is the Xijing Road of the Liao people! ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen dumbfounded, originally they thought that His Majesty wanted to take down Xijing Dao just talking, but now it seems that this is not the case, no wonder His Majesty does not move the land of Yanyun such as Datong Mansion, as long as he takes the Xijing Road of the Liao Dynasty, then the entire Yanyun is in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is at his fingertips under the siege of the Great Song Dynasty!

Di Qing instantly understood what Zhao Zhen meant, and even he, who had always been bold, was stunned by Zhao Zhen's plan, and said hoarsely with a dry voice: "Your Majesty means to leave Emperor Liao's 200,000 troops in Xijin Mansion?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall gasped, no one expected Zhao Zhen's appetite to be so big, not only to hold the Xijin Mansion to defeat the Liao people, but also to leave the Liao people's 200,000 army, if it was placed in the past, or on other emperors, everyone would feel that it was a fool's dream, but on Zhao Zhen, everyone had a feeling of taking it for granted.

A full 200,000 army, this is not a small number, even 200,000 beasts will have to be killed for a long time, and the combat power of the Liao people is considerable, if you desperately break through, it is not difficult to take most of the people away.

Seeing everyone's expressions of surprise, Zhao Zhen felt more relieved, fortunately it was just surprise and not ridiculous, which showed that everyone believed that they had the ability to do it, reached out and picked up the arrow on the side, and firmly nailed it to the periphery of Xijin Mansion, and soon a huge encirclement appeared on the map, which made the original Great Song Dynasty dilemma solved.

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "If I let Cao Wei and Yang Huaiyu divide into two roads, cut off the back road of the Liao, Yang Huaiyu Kechangping and take Juyongguan, and Cao Wei guards the area of Niulan Mountain in Shunzhou, where can the Liao people escape?"

My sixteen guards and horses did not take the initiative to meet the enemy, but guarded the dangerous places, and then led by the 100,000 troops in my hands, what was the difficulty of annihilating the invading soldiers of the Liao Dynasty? I don't want the Liao Emperor Yeluzong to really put a head on the head, I just need you to kill the Liao army to the greatest extent.

And now the Liao people don't have 200,000 troops in their hands, during this time, the front army of the Liao people is basically exhausted, there are only more than 100,000 people in their hands, and the estimated number is less than the number of the Sixteen Guards. ”

Peng Qiyi slapped his thigh and said: "The reason why Your Majesty made the Liao people feel that they could besiege my Xijin Mansion was to delay the Liao army and make them fall into the pocket of my Great Song Dynasty unconsciously?" ”

Xia Zhu's understanding of military affairs only stayed in books, but even he knew the plans of the official family, no wonder the official family wanted the Liao people to attack the city wall, no wonder the official family did not let Di Qing lead the back and go out to battle, this was to show weakness to the enemy.

But now the key issue is grain and grass, Xia Zhu felt that the foundation of all plans must be built on the premise that the grain and grass in Xijin Mansion were sufficient, otherwise how could the army in the city hold out until Cao Wei and Yang Huaiyu's sixteen guards took Juyongguan and Shunzhou?

"Your Majesty, there is not much grain and grass in the city, if the Liao people don't attack the city, what should my Song soldiers and civilians use?"

Peng Qiyi on the side thought about it too! If the Liao people are besieging but not attacking, and the Great Song Dynasty is not coming out, then the question is how to replenish the grain and grass under the stalemate between the two sides, you must know that the army of the Liao people has drained the water of the siege of Xijin Mansion, although they can replenish the grain and grass from the outside, but the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty have no rice to cook!

Grain and grass have always been the most important materials in wartime, and there is no one! The fiasco of many wars is not because of tactics, tactics, equipment, morale and other problems, but because the grain route is cut off, and the logistics supply is lost.

After all, with the smallest casualties in exchange for the greatest victory, this kind of trade is a profitable one.

Zhao Zhen looked at everyone's worries and puzzlement, and smiled slightly: "Of course I won't let the soldiers and civilians in the city go hungry, remember the carriages that kept coming to the city after taking the Xijin Mansion, right?" Among them, there are the most important things transported from the Great Song Dynasty, grain and grass! ”

Di Qing and Xia Zhu nodded as a matter of course, so it is so, no wonder the official family knew about the Liao people's plan to trap the city but was not worried, they had already prepared, and Peng Qi felt that the official family was crazy, and the things that were transported by the car were obviously bricks and stones! How can it become food and grass!? He personally tried, it is harder than masonry, and it can only be chiseled with a chisel, what is not masonry?

He said cautiously: "Official, aren't those bricks and stones?" I still have the emblem of Cai Kee! The ministers used chisels to chisel them open, and how did the soldiers eat them? ”

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Even you think it's bricks and stones, what will the Liao spies think?" This is my precautionary measure, if the Liao people know that my Great Song Dynasty grain and grass are enough, will they still spend it with us outside the city?

What's the use of me letting this Nanjing Dao Jianbi Qingye, besides, you don't want to think about it, is there a lack of masonry in Xijin Mansion? Is it necessary for me to bring bricks and stones from the Great Song Dynasty for the needs of the Jinfu Mansion? Also deliberately from Cai Ji?! ”

Peng Qi nodded awkwardly, and said again and again: "The official family Shengming, the official family Shengming......"

Those compressed biscuits shipped from the Great Song Dynasty are all from Cai Kee's hydraulic factory, the materials for compressed biscuits are not difficult to find, but the process is a little complicated, although the principle is simple, but the fried materials are compressed together.

But now the Great Song Dynasty has no other power except water power and manpower, and the manufacture of steam engines is still in the research and development stage, otherwise there is huge steam power, and there should be more of this compressed biscuit.

Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty did not have any burden because of the war, but because the war led to the development of the economy, in any era, the war is a powerful catalyst for the economy, because the Great Song Dynasty is experiencing war, so it needs more materials, and these materials are purchased by the imperial court from private merchants, so these merchants have sales channels, as long as the goods to the imperial court are paid with one hand and delivered with one hand, who doesn't like the sale of money and goods?
