As soon as he woke up, he was standing in front of him with some trepidation.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Seeing the expression of the pro-soldier, Luo Changmeng had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Will... General, our scouts have just sent news that the six watchtowers we captured yesterday have been rebuilt, and the dragon army is stationed in them, and the scouts have gone to investigate the situation, and one dead and one wounded..."

"What?"

Without waiting for the soldiers to finish speaking, Luo Changmeng had already jumped off the bed, followed by the armor piercing, and then rode out on horseback, and came to the front of the six watchtowers that were captured yesterday.

That watchtower was one of the watchtowers that were captured during the day, and a mouthful of old blood almost didn't spurt out of Luo Changmeng's mouth.

I thought that after a day's hard work, the casualties of 3,000 generals finally pulled out six watchtowers, and it could not be said that there were no achievements, but who would have thought that after just one night, everything would be back to normal.

In this way, doesn't it mean that how many watchtowers they have captured during the day will be restored at night?

If this is the case, even if the Liao soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, how many lives will they have to add to see hope?

"This... Let's go to the general." Luo Changmeng really had no choice, so he thought about asking Yeluren for advice first.

The main camp of the Liao Army outside Liaoyang City, Tokyo.

In the main tent, Yelu Renxian's face was pale, and it was obvious that something unpleasant had happened.

In the big tent, Gai Zhaoyin and other generals were watching cautiously, and no one dared to make any sound.

It was at this time that Luo Changmeng rode over, and he didn't know what was going on, so as soon as he entered the account, he told him about the situation on the front line like bitterness.

Originally, his face was not good, but now his face was even more ugly, and his eyes seemed to be able to kill people this time.

He didn't think that Su Shi would adopt such a shameless fight.

I thought that I came with 400,000 elite Liao troops, and with the addition of nearby local troops, it was a full 500,000, and it was not impossible to destroy the Dragon Empire.

Even if you can't do this, it's enough to fill it with human lives, scare the dragon army, and make them surrender. At that time, I will definitely be a great achievement.

But what he didn't expect was that Su Shi didn't fight him head-on at all, but made this disgusting watchtower, a posture of dead defense.

He already knew the results of yesterday's battle. In one day, only six watchtowers were captured, and there were many losses.

To be honest, this result did not like Yelurenxian. But I thought that this was the first time to fight with the watchtowers, and I would slowly accumulate experience, and when I found a suitable way in the future, I would definitely be able to capture more watchtowers and break the eight formations of the king set up by Su Shi.

But I didn't think that in one night, the results of one day were robbed back, if so, when will it be a head?

Of course, what made Mr. Yeluren even more angry was not this, but just now Yeluzhiwei in Liaoyang City sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that there was no food in the city, and then their Liao army would raise food on its own.

What are you kidding, an army of 500,000 people, how much food needs to be consumed in a day, and prepare it on your own, this is simply impossible.

Without the low-cost grain provided by Su Shi, many fields in Liao are still barren, and in this case, he can't find a place to grab grain.

Once there is no food, how can the soldiers fight if they don't have enough to eat?

After a long time, it's strange if something doesn't happen, and it's still a big deal.

Besides, the dignified Liaoyang City in Tokyo, the Liao Kingdom, will have no grain in stock, and he will not believe it if he kills Yelurenxian.

This must have been seeing that there was going to be a food shortage, and Yelu Zhiwei and the others wanted to make a lot of money from it, so they just found this excuse.

It's ridiculous to think about it, at the moment of the great enemy, everyone is not thinking about how to drive the dragon army out, but still thinking about themselves

In this way, it is strange that if you don't work together, you can win the battle.

After Yeluren figured it out first, he beat the people sent by Yeluzhiwei in a fit of anger and sent them back. He was venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, but in this way, he also knew that by doing so, he was tantamount to offending Yelu Zhiwei and the powerful people in Liaoyang City.

I can't get angry if I don't fight.

The bad news came one after another, Yeluren first felt a burst of exhaustion, and finally realized the feeling of powerlessness when those great generals of the Liao State faced Su Shi before.

"Let the army stop the attack, and at the same time reduce the time for drills, until the general Ben will tell His Majesty about the situation." Considering that there was no food and no way to break the enemy, Yeluren decided to wait and see. As for not allowing the army to exercise, it is completely a food-saving practice.

As soon as the army moves, it will eat more, but now there is no food, so it can only do nothing, and try not to exert too much physical strength.

The Liao army didn't come back the next day, which made Ji Zhu a little confused, and hurriedly contacted Su Shi to ask what to do next?

In the headset, Su Shi's voice sounded, "What should I do? Of course, I continued to train the troops."

"Your Majesty, will the Liao army still attack?" Ji Zhu raised the doubts in his heart.

"I don't know if I'll be able to, but I guess I won't attack in the short term, hahaha, they're short of food. Alright, you have to keep an eye on their every move, and report the situation at any time."

Su Shi hung up the contact, Ji Zhu touched his head, and said with a smirk: "The Liao army is short of food, so it's a fart, hahaha."

......

The imperial capital of the Liao army, the capital of Shangjing.

In the main hall of the palace, Liao Xingzong threw the book that Ye Luren had first put on the courtiers below.

"Take a good look, what do those people in Liaoyang City think, the national crisis is at the head, and they are still thinking about their own interests, their own personal gains and losses? If they don't have it, they will still have their lives, so what's the use of leaving so much silver?"

Liao Xingzong was really angry.

Some people led by Yelu Zhiwei are so short-sighted and short-sighted, they really can't be successful.

The courtiers standing below did not dare to catch their breath, without it, many of them had already begun to hoard grain, waiting to make a big profit in the next food shortage.

Faced with the situation in front of them, they themselves did just that, how could they be embarrassed to accuse Yelu Zhiwei of them at this time?

The courtiers below didn't speak, which made Liao Xingzong even more angry and roared, "Why are they all dumb, aren't they usually quite able to talk one by one? Now that Daliao is in trouble, you all come up with your own opinions."

"Of course, if you don't have any way, then I don't need your help, and when the time comes, I will let you know the sharpness of my sword."

Liao Xingzong has the intention of killing, although it may not be that the one who is killed will definitely be himself, but no one dares to gamble.

It was just such an instant, and the originally silent court suddenly became lively.

One by one, they all became Zhiduoxing, putting forward various opinions.

Some people say that they transferred grain from all over the country to the front line to continue fighting the Dragon Army.

Some people said that they could consider peace talks, stabilize Su Shi first, and then fight when the domestic situation is better.

Others said that you can consider trading grain with Su Shi in private, and you can give some money if it's a big deal, can Su Shi still have money and not make money? .

Listening to these various opinions, Liao Xingzong was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

Especially the last one, a private deal with Su Shi, I don't know what the person who came up with the idea thinks.

The reality is that everyone is an opponent and an enemy of each other, so how can Su Shi sell food to himself, isn't this equivalent to an enemy?

Even if the money is a good thing, it is worth it to see if the money is worth it.

Some angry Liao Xingzong voluntarily ignored the whims of some people

opened, and his eyes fell on some reliable courtiers, wanting to see if they had any desirable opinions.

Among the people targeted by Liao Xingzong is Zhang Jian.

Speaking of which, Zhang Jian was favored by Liao Xingzong, otherwise, he would not have given him such an important position as the third envoy. Managing a country's money and food is definitely a fat gap.

Noticing Liao Xingzong's gaze towards him, Zhang Jian knew that he had to say something, so he put his right hand towards his chest and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister's foolish opinion, there is a shortage of food in the country, and it is not suitable for a big war now. It should be mainly defensive, and when the food shortage is over, it will send troops to the Dragon Empire in a big way. And before that, we can follow Su Shi's example and build watchtowers for defense."

"Building a watchtower?" Finally hearing a usable proposal, Liao Xingzong was also thinking in his heart when he repeated this sentence.

"Yes, it's to build watchtowers, since Su Shi can be built, why can't we? With the carved tower, we can also defend, at that time the headache is Su Shi, give us a year, wait until next year's grain harvest, and then it is not too late to clean them up."

Zhang Jian opened his mouth to speak, although he also knew that giving Su Shi a chance to develop was not beneficial to the Liao State. But who let them fall into the trap before, and now that there is no food to use, they can't afford to fight a decent war at all.

"Yes, that's a good idea, we'll also build watchtowers, as long as we survive a year." The other courtiers, this meeting was also reversed.

I am afraid that they also know that if they do not accept this opinion now, the emperor will force them to hand over the grain in their hands, so that their plan to make a fortune will fail, which is definitely not what they want to see.

For these selfish courtiers, whether to build watchtowers or not is secondary, the important thing is to keep the grain in their hands, so that they can have the opportunity to sell at a high price. And if the idea meets their requirements, they will give it their full support.
