As for the food war in later generations, no one has ever experienced it, and naturally Zhang Jian would not have thought of such a thing with his cognition.

At this moment, he also had to wonder if Su Shi really lost his heart for hegemony after becoming the king, and only focused on Goryeo.

If so, of course, Zhang Jian is also happy. After all, the survival of Goryeo has nothing to do with the Liao State, and the benefits that the Liao State gets from it in peacetime are also limited, which is also the reason why Goryeo is not rich.

But if Goryeo is occupied by Su Shi, the other party can always provide low-cost grain, which is a great benefit to the Liao State.

When they were no longer short of food, they could train more troops, and then they would be able to point to the Great Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, or to the Mongol and Western Xia.

In short, the entry of low-cost grain is definitely a good thing among good things, and he has nothing to refute.

Zhang Jian had no way to object, and the matter was placed on the crown prince Yelu Hongji, the king of Qin, Yelu Chongyuan, and the privy envoy Xiao Hui of the Southern Yuan, and they were still strongly in favor.

Now they are all doing business and trade with Su Shi, and they can earn a lot of benefits from it in a year, and if they really start a war with Su Shi, their losses will undoubtedly be huge.

That is, Su Shi lowered his head, of course they would support the Long Army to clean up Yin Yuhu's affairs.

Above the court, the three of them became the vanguard, making it clear that they would not participate in the war between the Dragon Army and Yin Yuhu.

The so-called soft hands and low-cost grain can benefit everyone, and naturally there will be no opposition at this time. Not only that, but above the court, it also passed the matter of buying more cheap grain, and made adjustments to this year's spring ploughing.

Since the price of food purchased from abroad is so low, there is no need to grow so much land yourself. It is better to liberate the labor force, let them join the army, expand the number of the army, and prepare for the next entry into the Central Plains.

It is a very good idea and plan to borrow the low-cost grain provided by Su Shi, arm yourself strongly, and then deal with the Great Song Dynasty.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one disagreed, including Zhang Jian, who also thought that this was an opportunity.

At least the Liao State has more troops, even if it is not an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, it has more capital to deter Su Shi, and lay a better foundation for getting more food in the future.

Low-priced grain, as a kind of food war, is not yet the time to exert its power. But there is a benefit first, that is, Su Shi will clean up Yin Yuhu, and the Liao State will definitely stand by and watch, which is a kind of harvest.

The time came to the beginning of March, the earth was enlightened, and spring ploughing began and ended one after another.

In Xijing, Goryeo, Yin Yuhu finally did the right thing, he actually led the army to help the people grow grain.

Don't think that this is a sign of a family relationship between the military and the people. The reason why Yin Yuhu did this was just to liberate more people under his rule and let them help him transport military rations, so that he could have better capital to fight Su Shi.

One is the Dragon Heavenly King, who has just established himself, and the other is the newly proclaimed King Xijing, and the battle between the two kings is about to start.

For this battle, Yin Yuhu put a lot of energy into it, it seemed that he wanted to win the battle and lay an advantage, he mobilized a full 120,000 troops, 200,000 people, known as 400,000 troops to the outside world, and began to assemble in Ningyuan City, which was the closest to Dingcheng.

Yin Yuhu's army has a total of 150,000 troops. Only 30,000 men were left in this battle, in order to have a sufficient numerical advantage on the battlefield.

He had already inquired that the regular army in the Dragon Heavenly King's department was less than 10,000 people, and the others were some auxiliary soldiers, that is, local armies. What's the difference between that and Minfu, he can be said to be full of confidence in this battle.

For this war, Yin Yuhu also asked people to inquire about the thoughts of Goryeo and Liao.

It was clear that these two parties had no intention of participating, which made Yin Yuhu even more confident, he believed that after he destroyed the Dragon Heavenly King, the territory would expand and the population would increase, and at that time, his strength would naturally increase.

The only pity is that although this Dragon Heavenly King is very young, he is very calm. Originally, he thought that after he committed the assassination, he would go crazy and take the initiative to attack him, so that he could take advantage of the danger of the Datong River to defend it.

Su Shi was so calm, but in the end, he couldn't hold his breath and had to think about taking the initiative to attack.

As soon as Yin Yuhu moved here, Long Yin came with the news, and the six cities under Su Shi's rule began to mobilize.

If you want to say that the army and the people are united, there is no force that does better than Su Shi, and no army is as loved by the people as the Dragon Army.

Just because wherever the dragon army appears, it will bring countless benefits to the people, and they have no reason not to be recognized by the people.

Knowing that the war was finally going to be fought, the Dragon Army was naturally excited, which represented the emergence of countless military exploits. Compared to 30,000 assistant peasant soldiers, 5,000 peasant soldiers, and 500 auxiliary soldiers, the Dragon Army soldiers were far less excited than them.

This means that the opportunity to join the regular army has come, and the more than 30,000 Goryeo people are all very excited, and they wish they could go to war and fight with the Xijing army now.

The ordinary people were also very excited, it was precisely because of the beginning of the war that the wave of conscription for the peasant soldiers was coming again, but as long as there were men of appropriate age in the family, there was no one who did not sign up.

Even some people are weak in their bones, greedy for life and afraid of death. But if you dare not sign up, the spitting stars in the neighborhood can drown you and let you know what is called terrible words, and what is called rumors can also kill people.

The craze for signing up for agricultural soldiers is coming, and there are long queues at the recruitment gates everywhere, which can be described as overcrowded.

However, there were very few people who were really requisitioned, and Su Shi only added 10,000 assistant peasant soldiers under his rule, and then he was no longer recruited.

Originally, Su Shi took the route of elite soldiers, what do you want so many troops to do?

Even the increase of 10,000 peasant soldiers was used to serve as civilian men and transport military rations.

Although Su Shi has a system that can place all kinds of items he needs anywhere within forty kilometers of him, after the territory is expanded, Su Shi cannot guarantee that he can walk around at any time and put baggage. Look at the book

With 10,000 new peasant soldiers, it will be possible to better deploy military baggage to ensure that any army participating in the war will not have logistical problems.

Su Shi will not allow the people under his rule to die too much, which means that there is a lack of faith points, which is the most fatal for him.

The gentlemen are going to the front line to fight, and there are more women, old people and children left in the land, and they are still living in an orderly manner under the leadership of Fu Bi, even if they build roads and houses, there is no delay in the slightest.

The benefits of Su Shi's sale of low-priced grain to the Liao State were also reflected. Otherwise, I am afraid that at this time, Zhang Jian and others will propose to let the Liao army attack Su Shi on both sides, which is undoubtedly difficult for Su Shi, who has few troops.

It's okay now, just to deal with a Xijing king, Su Shi, including the dragon army under his rule, is full of confidence.

The so-called army of 400,000 is just a false name.

The real army was only 120,000.

And among these 120,000 people, less than half of them can really fight, and those who can be called elites are not even half.

Although there are 60,000 numbers in this calculation, it is not only a few thousand dragon troops that can be compared. But don't forget that Su Shi has the advantage of timely communication, and for this battle, Su Shi has long been prepared.

Su Shi wants to see how long the 120,000 Xijing army can hold out and withstand several battlefield rushes under his own mobilization.

The King of Dragon Heaven and the King of Xijing will eventually fight, whether it is the Liao State or Goryeo, they all have their eyes on here.

For them, in the end, it doesn't matter which side wins, it's not a bad thing for them. In particular, when the Goryeo army was watching the battle from the mountain, once he found that the battle was won and lost, and both sides were extremely weak, he would immediately send troops to find an opportunity in their favor to recover the country.

In view of the fact that some people were watching from the sidelines, Su Shi formulated a strategy for a quick battle when he convened a meeting of the generals in the army.

In Su Shi's words, if you want to fight, you will be killed with one blow, and the battle will be settled before the other enemies who want to pick up the bargain have not fully reacted. Only in this way can we be invincible.

And once entangled, wait

Yu gave the Goryeo army a chance, and at that time, the dragon army was likely to face a situation of attacking from both sides, which Su Shi was extremely unwilling to see.

The dragon army is naturally absolutely obedient to Su Shi, and the commanders of each regiment also swear a promise that as long as Su Shi is pointed out, they will be invincible and invincible.

During the Chinese New Year, the three Dragoon Regiments, the three People's Legions, and a total of six regiments all took turns to train in the teaching corps of the Black Cavalry Reinforced Battalion, and their combat effectiveness was at least doubled compared to before.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is only six regiments of them, 6,000 people. Even if you face an enemy that is more than ten times larger, you will not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, you will have a good chance of winning the war.

There are elite soldiers like this, which is also one of Su Shi's confidence. After he gave the order, the regiments began to move according to the military plan formulated by Fang Jiugui and Ji Zhu.

The advantages of developed transportation began to manifest themselves, as long as it was in the territory of Sushi, the speed of the movement of various armies was so fast that people of this era could imagine.

The first to set off was the headquarters of the 1st Dragoon Regiment and the 1st KPA Regiment, which had already been tasked with the task.

Under the leadership of its regiment commanders, Feng Yidao and Mu Huan, the two elite regiments, plus 1,000 peasant soldiers and 10,000 assistant peasant soldiers, a total of 13,000 people disappeared in the night. With fifty hovercraft, they headed straight southwest at Xianzhou City.

This is a clandestine marching force, not only to bypass the reconnaissance of the King of Seogyon's scouts, but also to prevent detection by the Goryeo army scouts.

Regarding this, when I trained before, there was a specific training. With the help of the reconnaissance battalion, it is not a big problem.
