Chapter 219: I can't figure it out
This is not only something that Zhao Zhen can't figure out, but also something that everyone who pays attention to the war can't figure out.
As the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. An army that always fights and can win battles must never go hungry.
Otherwise, if you can't lift your hands, you can't carry your shoulders, you can't wave your arms, how can you let them kill the enemy?
Especially in ancient times, due to the inconvenience of transportation, if you want to fight a big battle, you often need to make adequate preparations a long time in advance.
It is not surprising that the mobilization time could be three months, six months, or even longer. Su Shi led the Su family army into the Liao realm, and their food came from Ke?
Don't say grab and walk along the way. Let's not say that Liaoguo is not rich in the first place, and it is impossible to grab so much food, just saying that there is food, it is good to be able to barely fill your stomach, and it is impossible to eat well.
If it is really possible to supply the needs of the army by robbing, then it will be easy to fight, and you only need to fight all the way, and you will not need the support of the treasury, then where will there be the current Liao State and Western Xia?
Zhao Zhen, who still couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, decided to wait for Su Shi to come back, and he should ask carefully.
As for now, it is also the time to give Su Shi more support. I was worried that the Liao State would not be angry and couldn't find Su Shi's trouble, so he came to find trouble with the Great Song Dynasty.
But now, Liao's building hall has been hit hard, and it can't be recovered in a year and a half, even if it can be recovered, the war preparation materials that were hoarded before are gone, and it will take a while to replenish it.
Under such circumstances and circumstances, the Liao State will definitely not go to war, as long as the Great Song Dynasty does not really send troops, but only deters them at the border, then there will be no big problem.
If you are beaten, you have to stand upright, and sometimes you have to bow your head if you are not as good as others, even if it is for a long-term plan, who can say what can you say if you bow your head for a short time?
Thinking that Su Shi had made such a feat, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he couldn't do nothing, and the support he should give was still some, Zhao Zhen said in his heart
"Well, I'm going to send someone stronger." Zhao Zhen used his brain, and after a while, he looked up at Zhang Mao and said, "Go, pass Bao Zheng to see me." ”...... Jiugongling.
It belongs to the south of Zezhou. At the same time, this place is also the intersection of Zezhou, Jingzhou and Pingzhou. Among them, due north is Zezhou; Jingzhou in the southwest and Pingzhou in the southeast.
Entering Zezhou is a place close to Zhongjing, where it is too unsafe, and now I don't know how many people are waiting for him there, so Su Shi will not be stupid and throw himself into the net.
When you enter Jingzhou, you will go to the border of Song and Liao and re-enter the sixteen states of Yanyun. It's just that Su Shi feels that he hasn't killed enough yet, at least there is no movement from that Liu Liufu, and it is a bit of a loss to go back now, so he doesn't think about it.
Then only the troops will be left in Pingzhou. Although this is also back to the sixteen states of Yanyun, from there to the east, it is the Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom, not far from Goryeo, but there is a place to toss.
Of course, whether it is really necessary to enter Goryeo, Su Shi still needs to think about it. Su Jiajun did a good job immediately, but he had not been trained at sea, and he rushed in, and the results were worrying.
Fortunately, the Su family army is all cavalry, and the situation is not good, so you can change direction at any time, and you don't necessarily have to go to Goryeo to have a look.
Looking at the Su Jiajun after entering the Liao Realm, there was basically not much planning, more improvisation, and more recklessness.
Jiugongling was originally guarded by a Liao army infantry battalion of 500 people. It's just that the Liao soldiers guarding here have long been not elite, their combat strength is mediocre, and in the face of the sudden appearance of the Su family's army, there is no resistance at all, but after killing dozens of people, the others chose to surrender.
Don't think that only the Song army will surrender if it can't be defeated, as long as you have enough strength, the Liao soldiers and even the Western Xia soldiers will also choose to surrender, and they also cherish their own lives.
This is already the seventh day of rest after Su Shi came to Jiugongling. At the beginning of July, the weather here is also very hot, and there are often flying insects in the nearby mountains and forests, which are large and poisonous, and a big bag will be raised when staring at people, or the kind that can't be eliminated for half a day, so that the bitten people have a strong itch.
This thing is a headache for even the locals. But after Su Shi arrived, he discovered this problem, and there was another thing called flower water in all the soldiers' belongings.
Just apply this thing to your body, and those annoying flying insects won't come close, which solves the problem in the first place.
Toilet water has once again been named a miracle drug. Lu Siqiao also wiped some on her body, and those annoying flying insects really disappeared, which made her very happy in her heart.
I thought that if there was such a thing on Hutou Mountain, the brothers and sisters would suffer less in the summer.
I wanted to ask Su Shi for it, but in the end I didn't do it. Su Shi is not her person, why did he give her such a good thing?
Besides, now that the person is still in the Liao Realm, I don't know when I will go back, even if I give her this flower water, how can she take it back?
Lu Siqiao is not as wealthy as Su Shi. Wherever Su Jiajun goes, he can always find enough food nearby, and he said that it had been arranged for a long time, but God knows if this is the case?
If there is someone who can arrange everything, then is this person too powerful? What's more, some of the things they used, even some loot, would not be brought with them, but would be placed in the military tent where Su Shi lived, put it in the night, and disappear the next morning.
This aroused Lu Siqiao's curiosity even more, she didn't dare to ask Su Shi, she found out that this boy who looked much smaller than herself and was always willing to smile on his face was not as good as he showed at all.
This is simply a decisive person, who can still talk and laugh with you in the last breath, but gives orders to kill one by one in the next breath.
After a long time, after Su Shi had a sense of superiority, many people were like Lu Siqiao, who trusted the young marshal very much, but also feared him very much.
Even Lu Siqiao is the same, although she has a woman's intuition, and often finds that Su Shi will look at her, she should like herself, but she is still a little afraid of Su Shi from the bottom of her bones.
Maybe it's not fear, but awe. She didn't dare to ask, so she tried to ask Yue Siling, who didn't seem to have any scheming, and the answer she got was that all this was arranged by the young master.
In the evening, the loot will be carried away. This answer is naturally not convincing to Lu Siqiao.
Who knows who is so powerful that he has to prepare food for the army and recover some things that the army can't take with him?
Moreover, Lu Siqiao had long since discovered after observation that many times the route of the march was not planned in advance, but changed according to the change of the situation, so how could the person who prepared the food know where the army would go next, and how could he hide the food on the way of the army in advance?
I really can't figure it out, so I just don't think about it, anyway, a lot of her eating and drinking, what do she do with those hearts.
Besides, who doesn't have a secret in his heart? It's like herself, doesn't she have a big secret in her heart that can't be known to outsiders?
This is not only Lu Siqiao's idea, but also other people's thoughts. They also go from initial curiosity, to mid-term acceptance, to the later ignorance.
The Su family soldiers only need to know one thing, and following the young marshal can really kill Liao Dog, and they can kill it very happily, which is enough.
In the seven days of Jiugongling, except for the scouts who were out to inquire about intelligence, everyone else fell asleep, and many of the wounded also used this time to recuperate and successfully return to the team.
Except for the two more seriously injured who had not fully recovered, when everyone else was fine, Su Shi knew that it was time to leave here.
This called Ji Zhu, Feng Yidao, Hu Tongtian and others, and began to discuss the direction and goal of the next attack.
Pointing to the map that Yang Jingyun Scout Squadron had drawn by himself, Su Shi pointed to the location of Longshan with his right hand and said, "Our next goal is here, cross the Great Wall from here, enter Longshan, and take Luanhe City." Everyone nodded as they looked at the map, apparently they were all used to following Su Shi's plan.
is like Ji Zhu, it is true that he is a general with troops, but he is only responsible for things on the battlefield, such as where to fight is determined by Su Shi, and how to fight is his job.
After setting the goal, Su Shi's tone also became relaxed,
"Rest assured, our whereabouts have not been discovered, and no one will think that we have arrived at Jiugongling, so we are very safe now. Although Luanhe City will strengthen some defenses because of our troubles, it will not be too strict, so the next step is to focus on sneak attacks, as for whether to sneak in advance, or disguise the Liao army to enter or how to fight, General Ji, you will discuss and look at it. After Su Shi said this, he signaled to Lou Yang behind him, and he was pushed out in a wheelchair.
Su Shi is accustomed to this kind of thing to grasp the general direction, and as for the specific things, the following people are still in charge, which is also a good way to exercise.
You can't rely on one person for everything, and if that happens, everyone will be exhausted to death. Su Shi came out of the military tent, and when he was feeling the heat of the sun outside, Long Xingyun trotted not far away.
"Young Master, Captain Chu Guo has something to look for you." As he spoke, a black Wanlitong was handed to Su Shi.
Stretched out his hand to take it, and the voice of Chu Guo, the leader of the first scout squadron, came from inside,
"Young Marshal, our people have captured a Liao scout thirty miles away from Jiugongling..."
