Without enough food and grass, the dragon army will not rush forward, and to do so is to be irresponsible for their own lives.

Second, after Lian attacked the city and came to the far city, there were already a large number of Liao people in his hands, and it would take time for these people to be settled, and even if they were to take care of them, they would waste a lot of troops.

Third, and most importantly, directly in front of Yuancheng is Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, Liaoguo, which is an absolute big city, but it can be swallowed and eaten by relying on a people's army brigade.

That is, if your own strength is insufficient, then you will wait. Su Shi has already sent news, he is rushing here with the other main forces of the Dragon Kingdom, and before the main force arrives, everything is focused on stabilizing the current situation.

After the dragon army captured Laiyuan City, it finally stopped advancing, which made the Liao nobles in Tokyo who learned the news breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the city of Liaoyang in Tokyo is large, there are also 30,000 Liao soldiers stationed, so there is no problem in defending the city. But only these powerful people in it know that the so-called 30,000 Liao soldiers have no time to train in peacetime, and the existence of these soldiers is more time for them to do private work.

For example, when there is something to do in their own family and a lot of manpower is needed, it will be arranged on these 30,000 Liao soldiers. It would be more accurate that they were coolies than soldiers.

Pointing to such an army, what combat effectiveness can they have, let alone facing a dragon army with strong combat power, they really have no confidence.

This is also to blame for the fact that the Liao Kingdom has been too peaceful over the years.

When there are no enemies around, individuals will relax their vigilance and slack off on military affairs.

Even if they couldn't solve the problem by their own ability, these magnates in Tokyo Prefecture united to send a letter to Shangjing and Liao Xingzong, asking them to speed up the sending of reinforcements.

......

Upper capital.

As soon as the news came that Gaizhou, Laiyuancheng, Huinongcheng, and Ji'an had been lost one after another, and even Tokyo Prefecture was threatened, Liao Xingzong could no longer sit still.

Above the court, Liao Xingzong became angry in front of the ministers, first scolding Su Shi for not preaching morality, and then the ministers were useless.

In the face of the emperor's accusations, the courtiers below all bowed their heads one by one, but it was difficult to convince them.

At the beginning, it was Liao Xingzong who agreed to lend Su Shi the way, so he went to Goryeo, and there was the current situation.

It was they who decided to do something to Su Shi before, which led to the current unfavorable situation.

As for uselessness?

If Su Shi is so easy to deal with, those who have fought with him before, has anyone ever made a profit?

If it is useless, it is useless for everyone, and it is also because the dragon army under the command of Su Shi is too powerful.

scolded and scolded, and after venting, Liao Xingzong asked Yelu Renxian among the ministers, asking how much time he needed to gather troops.

"Your Majesty, the minister is already speeding up, but because the transferred divisions are all elite divisions, the assembly should be almost completed in three months."

Yelu Ren first told the truth, and his opponent was Su Shi, so he couldn't be a little sloppy and careless, he had to be an elite teacher.

Even if it is an elite division, it needs to be mobilized from all over the country, and the assembly of 400,000 troops will take only three or four months, which is indeed a very fast speed in terms of traffic at that time.

Yelu Renxian had already worked hard, but Liao Xingzong was not satisfied with this result.

Trimester?

In three months' time, I am afraid that Su Shi will capture the city of Tokyo, if so, the dragon army can enter the hinterland of the Liao country at any time, if that is the case, even if there is a Liao country can drive the dragon army out, I am afraid that it will be a big injury.

This result is not what Liao Xingzong wants to see.

"No, three months is too long, I'm giving you three." Liao Xingzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke.

"Three? This... That's not enough time. Yeluren shook his head first, looking very embarrassed.

"Why is it not enough, haven't you already gathered 100,000 elite divisions now? In this way, you send these 100,000 people to Tokyo first, and there are also many local armies, which can be assigned to your command, and then Tokyo will be preserved. As long as the situation is stable, we will have enough time to deploy troops, so that after March, after the 400,000 elite divisions have been assembled, you will wave your troops south, this time we will definitely hit the hometown of the Dragon Empire, we must subdue Su Shi at one time, it is best to capture him alive, and also use this to tell the world, what is the fate of those who dare to be enemies of our Liaoren. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yeluren breathed a sigh of relief.

Just stabilizing the situation, and not having to start a battle with the main force of the dragon army right away, made him feel a lot more relieved.

What he is afraid of is that His Majesty asked him to attack with these 100,000 elites, so that it is tantamount to adding fuel to the tactics, which is a taboo in the art of war. And just to gather troops in another place, then there is no problem.

"Obey." Jerex first approved of this will and immediately accepted it.

With Yeluren going to Tokyo first, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief. What they are afraid of is that Tokyo will be lost, and eventually the dragon army will kill them in front of them, and if so, then they will be in danger.

Well, now, as long as they can keep the dragon army in the area south of Tokyo, their safety will be guaranteed. Then all the ministers shouted in unison, Your Majesty is wise.

The court meeting ended in this seemingly happy atmosphere. After the court meeting, Zhang Jian, the third secretary, caught up with Yelu Renxian, and once again emphasized that troops must not be sent easily, unless 400,000 elite troops are gathered, they can be crushed.

"Brother Zhang rest assured, Ben will know how to do it. Until the army is mobilized in place, it will definitely not take the initiative to attack. Yeluren also nodded in agreement.

Ye Luren has never despised Su Shi, although the two have never fought each other, but looking at the achievements of other Liao generals, he can also know that this Rao is not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, this time, he has the power to mobilize 400,000 elite troops, which makes him full of confidence in this battle.

The current number of troops in Liao can really be the peak period in history, which is also the low-cost grain provided by Su Shi, which is lower than the cost of farmers' seed value, which makes Liao appear in a large number of wastelands at the same time, but also liberates more labor, so that more Liao people can join the army.

When he thought of this question, Yeluren first looked at Zhang Jian, "There is no problem with the matter of high-yield grain, 400,000 elite troops are gathered in one place, and every grain and grass consumed will be a literary number, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Please rest assured the general at this point, last year the official tried to plant that high-yield grain, the effect was very good, this year after asking His Majesty for instructions, adding the planting area, there will be absolutely no problems, the army needs the grain this official will do his best to raise, will not make the general embarrassed."

"That's good, that's good." When he saw Zhang Jianqi doing this, it was Rutz who was confident, and Yeluren put his mind at ease.

As long as the food is enough, there is no problem with the logistics of the army, even if he can't defeat Su Shi and regain the lost territory, he is confident that he can hold the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo and prevent the Dragon Army from taking a step forward.

After agreeing on things, the two quickly separated. After the third, Yeluren took the lead in gathering 100,000 elite Liao troops from Shangjing to Tokyo City.

......

Kaizhou comes to the far city.

Su Shi arrived here with the Wrangler, although the road was difficult, fortunately, the quality of the Wrangler in the off-road vehicle was very good, except for some bumps in the specific section, the road was smooth, at least the vehicle never broke down.

As soon as Su Shi arrived, a large number of military rations and equipment appeared around one after another, completely solving the logistics problem of the Dragon Army.

There was already news from Meiyang on the inside line, and after Su Shi learned that Yeluren Xianzheng was rushing to Tokyo with 100,000 elite Liao cavalry, he was not only fearless, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

No one knew that all this was exactly what Su Shi wanted to see.

Although Su Shi occupied the entire Goryeo, in the end, the background is still too poor, in the Dragon Empire, there are still powerful families, some things have survived for hundreds of years, and they can not be eliminated overnight.

The internal situation is not completely stable, and Su Shi is going to be the enemy of the behemoth of the Liao State, which is not a wise move. Su Shi has a system in his body, otherwise, he would not dare to have such an idea.

Domestic affairs are handed over to Fu Bi and others, the power of life and death is given to him, and with the full cooperation of Zheng Toe, the head snake, it is only a matter of time to solve some of the remaining problems there.

During this time, Su Shi came to Laiyuan City, in order to make all preparations for the next battle with the Liao army.

At this time, the Liao State is too strong, especially after the low-cost grain provided by Su Shi last year, the strength of the Liao State is constantly rising, according to the results of the Longyin investigation, the current Liao State, the number of troops alone has reached nearly three million.

When the number of troops reaches such a huge number, even if the dragon army can be ten with one, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight if it really goes to the battlefield.

Hard fighting is definitely not the best policy, come carefully, even the next strategy is not counted, because even if it is a victory, it will be a miserable victory, once the elite of the dragon army is spelled out, at that time, even if Su Shi has too many good things in hand, no one can use it, it is also a troublesome thing.

That is, he can't fight hard, Su Shi chose a war of attrition.

Since last year, Su Shi began to dig a pit for the Liao State, and now it seems that it is time to produce results, Su Shi really wants to take a look, once the Liao State has no new grain as a supplement, how many troops can be gathered to pose a threat to itself?

Su Shi, who had an idea in his heart, after arriving in Yuancheng, the first thing he did was to take out the drawings that had been drawn up a long time ago. "Build watchtowers, build them in this way, don't consider the cost, build as much as possible, to form a dense network, spread it outside the city, I want to let the enemy come, look at the tower and sigh."
