The so-called watchtower refers to the high three-zhang arrow tower.

With such an arrow tower, the warrior can hide in it, and only need to use the bow and arrow to release arrows to kill the enemy.

Of course, a watchtower doesn't do anything, but what if it's everywhere?

If the watchtower and the watchtower form a dense net, intertwined with each other to play a role in aid?

At that time, if the Liao army wanted to attack any watchtower, it was equivalent to facing several or even a dozen watchtowers, and naturally there would be huge losses.

Su Shi wanted to see how many casualties the Liao army could bear and how long it could hold out when the watchtower stood horizontally.

As long as the Liao army can be kept out, then the next thing is to wait. After waiting for the Liao army to run out of food, it will naturally be in turmoil, and that time is the moment when Su Shi led the dragon army to counterattack.

Taking this opportunity, Su Shi can also digest what he has gained from the Liao people for a while, turn the Liao people into the ultimate Han people, and use the strength of the enemy to strengthen himself.

Su Shi needs time to develop, and while consuming the enemy, it develops itself, which is also called two without delay.

Su Shi arrived in the far city, when the materials were complete, the watchtowers rose one by one, and the road began to survey and build. From the matter of building the cement road, it can be seen that at this time, Su Shi has already regarded the Liaorong plate he occupied before as his own territory, otherwise, he would not have spent this effort and effort.

Zailu Renxian led an army of 100,000 from Shangjing City and rushed to Tokyo City all the way.

Thanks to the fact that these 100,000 elites are all cavalry, but even so, it took nearly half a month.

Yeluren rushed to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo first, and Yelu Zhiwei, as the landlord, took the initiative to greet the magnates in the city.

They can't eat well, they can't sleep well, and they are worried that the dragon army on the opposite side will kill them at any time. Fortunately, in the end, it was still humble, the reinforcements came, the dragon army had not yet been killed, and the crisis in Tokyo was solved.

Warmly received, not only the granary in the city was opened to feed the 100,000 elites, but the 100,000 Liao soldiers who had been cobbled together in Tokyo before were also given to Yelu Renxian's hand Zheng

These 100,000 people were the sum of the troops recruited by the magnates at their own expense and transferred from some nearby cities.

This time what the dragon army did really scared them, in order to ensure that they would not be frightened in the future, and for the sake of long-term stability, they were all sent to Yelu Renxian, wanting him to help train an elite army.

Liao is not short of grain now, last year bought a lot of grain from Su Shi at a low price, and Zhang Jian got high-yield grain, and at the end of the year it was a bumper harvest, and after having phosphorus in his heart, he would not attach as much importance to grain as before.

Yeluren was flattered to accept Yeluzhi Weixing and other kindnesses, thinking that the other elite divisions on the left and right did not arrive, and they were idle, so they helped train the 100,000 troops.

If the army wants to train and produce results, it must take time, but there is another important premise, that is, there must be enough food.

If you can't even eat enough, you will naturally not be able to participate in high-intensity training, which is why the army in ancient times often did not exercise one by one, but every three or five or even ten and a half months.

This time, these magnates in Tokyo were going to hemorrhage profusely, and when the food was enough, Yelu Renxian also had phosphorus in his heart, thinking that if he really trained these 100,000 people, then he would have more than 500,000 troops in his hands, and he would be even more confident in fighting with the Dragon Army.

Yeluren, who accepted the kindness, began to be busy training troops in Tokyo, and the dragon army was also busy repairing the watchtowers, both sides were making preparations before the big battle, but the original tension was suppressed, and everyone seemed to be waiting, waiting for the moment of the decisive battle.

......

Bianliang City.

Inside the Royal Palace.

During this period of recuperation, Zhao Zhen's body was not in better condition than before, and he was still sick in bed, and often when he wanted to stand up and walk, he would find that he was weak and short of breath, and had to lie back on the dragon bed again.

The diagnosis given by the imperial doctors in the palace was caused by shortness of breath and weakness. The prescription is a century-old mountain ginseng.

Soon, the ginseng that was originally left in the palace for some years was quickly used up, but it was only to maintain the current physical condition of the official family, and if you want to be cured, you need more and older ginseng.

Goryeo had been taken over by Sushi and a new dragon empire was formed. If you want to buy ginseng, you can only buy it from Sushi.

In the past, when the Zhao and Song dynasties needed ginseng, they could take two routes: land and sea, and sometimes even Goryeo envoys would come to Bianliang City to offer ginseng to their submissions.

Goryeo no longer exists, and it is impossible for the Dragon Empire to surrender to them, and it is no longer realistic to wait for others to take the initiative to send ginseng.

The sea route is now controlled by Fuso again, and the trade with the Dragon Empire by sea has also been cut off.

Thinking about it, there is only one land route that can be corrected, but the problem is that now that the Liao State and the Dragon Empire are fighting again, it is inevitable that they will have to pass through the war zone by land, which is a headache. At least many businessmen in the Zhao and Song dynasties did not have the courage to embark on this road and do the business of mountain ginseng.

Without the older ginseng hanging, Zhao Zhen's body will not be able to get better, which has become a contradiction, so that the official family of Zhao Song has no choice but to collect good quality ginseng from the people to suspend the current problem.

But this is not a long-term solution, after thinking about it, Zhao Zhen still thinks that he should trade with the Dragon Empire as soon as possible, and if it is not good, he should buy some ginseng back to prolong his life.

Miao Guifei, who is known as a virtuous concubine, came to Yanfu Palace and came to Zhao Zhen's side to serve.

Since Zhao Zhen got engaged to Princess Fukang Zhao Huirou, the object of the marriage was still Li Wei, a member of the Li family, who was ugly, and Miao Guifei, as a mother, began to be angry with the official family.

She only has such a daughter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is her lifeline.

Although Miao Guifei has long known the fate of being born in the royal family, she will inevitably be married, and once she is married, it is very difficult to think about the mother and daughter meeting. But as a mother, how can she not want her daughter to find a wishful husband?

Li Wei and Miao Guifei have seen it. It was Zhao Zhen who summoned her into the palace to let her see, but this was when she saw it, she didn't fall in love, and she also asked Zhao Zhen if she could change her marriage. It doesn't matter if the family background is not the family, as long as the man is good-looking and enterprising.

Such a prayer naturally couldn't move Zhao Zhen, and he refused on the grounds that his words were meant and could not be changed casually.

Soon after, Zhao Huirou escaped from the palace, and Miao Guifei was worried for a long time, but fortunately, new news came later, and her daughter followed Su Shi's side, and now she has become the so-called imperial concubine of the First Emperor Long.

This made Miao Guifei breathe a sigh of relief.

For Su Shi, it's not like he grew up, but in the process of Su Shi's growth, Miao Guifei has been observing. This son is dignified, and his family background is also prominent, and more importantly, his ability is strong, and he has not been seen in the court.

The only place to regret is to have a leg disease. But then after learning that the leg disease had been completely cured, such a man was of course the best candidate for a son-in-law.

The daughter likes Su Shi, which a mother may not feel. But Miao Guifei at that time did not say anything, that is, she did not support or oppose it.

I'm afraid that Concubine Miao at that time didn't think that this marriage could have any good results, after all, with Su Shi's ability and talent, I am afraid that she would not be willing to be a horse and become an ornament. But she didn't want to hurt her daughter's heart, so she regarded everything as if she didn't see it, and the only thing she did was to forbid her daughter to run to Zhaoren Palace and meet Su Shi.

Now that she has achieved a positive result, her daughter has got what she wants, and Miao Guifei is also happy in her heart. As for how the Dragon Empire and Zhao Song will get along in the future, and whether there will be a battle in the end, this is not something that she should consider as a woman.

's daughter has her own happiness, and Miao Guifei's resentment towards Zhao Zhen is not so big, this time she was called by the official family to serve her, and she is still very happy.

After all, since the official family entered the Yanfu Palace to recuperate, except for Queen Cao, no concubine can enter Qizheng and she becomes a neighbor, which proves that she still has a very important position in the heart of the official family.

No one knows why Miao Guifei's status in Zhao Zhen's heart, this time he called Miao Guifei over, but for another matter, to buy mountain ginseng from the Dragon Empire.

When Zhao Zhen came up with the idea, Miao Guifei still had some resentment in her heart, but when she thought about it, she was also very happy. 's daughter is married to Su Shi, she can rest assured, but after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, and she still can't put her mind at ease.

This time, the official family has a request for himself, so he can take this opportunity to investigate carefully.

"Your Majesty, the concubine can let his nephew Miao Xiu take a trip to the Dragon Empire, and he is willing to come, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, and I heard that there is a war over there, and it is really caries in terms of safety."

Miao Guifei did not refuse, but proposed a suitable candidate, which made Zhao Zhen very happy. "It's okay, there is a Liao country, I will personally write a letter, they are now fighting with the Dragon Empire, and they don't want to offend us. However, the safety of the Dragon Empire is really not guaranteed. ”

"It's okay, Su Shi has seen Brother Hugh before, so he shouldn't be embarrassed. Besides, Fukang is still in the Dragon Empire, how can he protect his brother's safety. Miao Guifei was a little excited.

"It's... Nature is superb. Zhao Zhen was so confident when he saw that Miao Guifei was named Su Shi, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

Su Shi has the ability, Zhao Zhen knows this.

For a long time, Zhao Zhen was worried about how to arrange this person.
