It was with the participation of these 50,000 soldiers that gave the Yi clan enough confidence, and they believed that with these troops, it was not impossible to hold the city for ten days and a half months, or even longer.

Speaking of the era when there were no artillery explosives, it was not uncommon for a city to be defended for several months, or even a year or two. As long as the city has enough food and soldiers, it is not easy to take it.

As Yi Yangxian said, he did send people out of the city to ask for help. Coincidentally, the Liao general Yelu Renxian was in Lekang City, Taizhou (west of Changchun City), which was not too far from Anzhou, and was gathering the Liao army here.

Su Shi gave a month in the negotiations, and although he advanced it by ten days, the Liao State was not completely unprepared, and had already assembled some troops. After learning what happened in Anzhou City, Yeluren first directly sent his general Shen Yong and gave him 100,000 elite soldiers, so that he could rush to Anzhou City first to participate in the battle here, and he himself continued to stay to mobilize troops, and when the main force was assembled, he would personally lead the army to attack the territory of the Dragon Empire.

For this battle, Yelu Renxian's current thinking is still very optimistic. After all, this time the upper echelons of the Liao State have unified their opinions, that is, to gather a large army to clean up the Dragon Army.

For this reason, not only did the Liao State decide to send 500,000 to 800,000 troops, but the 100,000 troops of the Mengqi had already been dispatched and were rushing towards them.

With the absolute superiority in troops, Yelu Renxian really couldn't see where the chances of the dragon army were.

After Shen Yong got the military order, he ordered his troops to leave overnight. And this news was also detected by the Longyin team members lurking in Lekang City, and reported to it on the walkie-talkie.

Liaobin City, Liaozhou.

Su Shi led the soldiers of the guard regiment into the city to rest.

The ancients often said that it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to build the country. Su Shi is now truly realizing.

Every time you conquer a city, you are facing the problem of governing a new city.

The people had to eat, they had to work, they had clothes to wear, they had to see when they were sick, and they had a house to live in. In addition, business needs to be developed, order needs to be orderly, and so on, all of this requires him to make the final decision.

Although it is said that Fu Bi and others from the Ministry of Political Affairs, as well as peasant representatives to help stabilize people's hearts, when it comes to major events, it is still up to him, the emperor, to make the final decision.

This is also thanks to Su Shi's system, whether it is food, shelter or drink, it is difficult for him, otherwise, it is really not so easy to solve this problem under the poverty and whiteness.

There were many cities to take over, and Su Shi finally knew why it was so difficult for one country to annex another in ancient times. This is not only militarily powerful, but also extremely powerful civilly, and requires a lot of food, gold and silver to do it.

Often, while a country is vigorously developing its military, the economy will not be able to keep up. On the contrary, if the economy is strong, it is inevitable that the military side will not be able to take care of it.

This is the inability to have both fish and bear's paws, so that there are some ambitious emperors in history, but they cannot do more in their limited lives.

Again, thanks to the system, Su Shi believes that he will definitely be able to do what many people want to do but can't.

Soon after Su Shi appeared in Liaobin City, there were soon a lot of civilian materials fifty miles outside the city, which were connected to the city by horse-drawn carriages, solving the contradictions and problems in the city. When the people have food to eat and their safety is guaranteed, they usually don't make trouble.

Even if it was the Han Chinese, not the Liao soldiers, who took them over, many people still didn't care.

What national sentiments, what national righteousness, in the eyes of these low-level people, who can let them live a good life, they will voluntarily follow whom.

On the other hand, even people of the same nationality will rebel if it becomes very difficult to survive with him.

With sufficient supplies and careful explanations by the peasant representatives, many large households were arrested, and after their mischief, the city soon became as orderly as before.

"Whew!" He let out a long breath, looking at Su Shi, who had fewer faith points, and didn't care very much

。 With the occupation of more and more territory, the number of people under the rule is also increasing, and the number of faith points that can be counted every day is not a small number, at least it can be done to cope with the current situation.

The people's livelihood problem in Liaobin City was solved, and just when Su Shi was thinking about resting here for one night and going to where to do the city early tomorrow morning to deliver supplies, a new news came that 100,000 elite Liao troops came out of Lekang City and went straight to Anzhou City.

Su Shi had received the battle report from Anzhou, knowing that the First Division of the People's Army had won a big victory there, and then they were ready to take advantage of the situation to capture Anzhou, and Su Shi happily agreed to this request. But now it seems that the Liao army has increased its troops again, and it will not be so easy to point to the first division of the People's Army if it wants to solve the problems there.

Su Shi did not have confidence in the Long Army, but knew that the strength of the first division of the People's Army was limited after all, and there was no problem in dealing with the Yi clan, but it was difficult to say if he added 100,000 Liao troops or elite.

"Lou Yang, inform the Black Cavalry Reinforcement Regiment and the headquarters of the Second Brigade of the Dragoon Army to move in the direction of Anzhou. In addition, Meng Youde was informed that he could carry out the plan he had previously proposed."

Su Shi's character is destined to not belong to the kind of passive beating, even if he starts a war with the Liao State, he is ready to fight to the end.

But again, the size of the Liao State is too large, and if you want to annex them with the current strength of the Dragon Empire, it is not that you can't do it, but it will take time. But what Su Shi lacked most was time, so he decided to start from both internal and external aspects, he couldn't give the Liao State a chance to gather a large army, if he really let these Liao soldiers gather, it would become very difficult to eat them.

Lou Yang agreed, and immediately went out to issue an order. That is, that night, Meng Youde, the person in charge of Longyin, who had already arrived in the capital of the Liao Kingdom, received this new order, and a somewhat excited smile appeared on his face at that moment.

Although the Dragon Empire has not been established for a long time, the internal competition is also very fierce.

Not to mention the competition within the Longyin department, let's just say that on the periphery, following them, Su Shi successively established two important power departments, Longya and Longyiwei.

Although it is said that Longya is responsible for operations, and Longyiwei is responsible for internal supervision, both are intelligence departments, and many businesses have some overlap.

In other words, anyone can be replaced, so how much power everyone will have in the future depends on what kind of credit they can build.

As the person in charge of Long Yin, Meng Youde naturally felt the pressure. Before this battle, when Su Shi ordered them to infiltrate the capital of Liao State and prepare to do internal troublemaking and rebellion, he knew that his opportunity had come.

If you want Long Yin to have more power and more resources available in the future, this is the opportunity to show your skills and make great contributions.

After coming to Shangjing, Meng Youde made all kinds of preparations, it can be said that he has done a lot of paving work, and now that it is finally time to do it, how can he not be excited.

Reaching out and taking out the walkie-talkie, tuning into their Long Yin's internal channel, Meng Youde opened his mouth and said, "Pick up Chief Zhang."

Zhang Ao, the chief diplomat of the Dragon Empire, also came to Shangjing with an important mission.

Before the war, Su Shi said that the size of the Liao State was too large, and with the current strength of the Dragon Army, it was too much pressure to defeat them on the frontal battlefield.

The best way to do this is to fight in a multi-faceted way.

It refers to starting from all directions, including diplomatic warfare, public opinion warfare, economic warfare, discordant warfare, etc., in conjunction with the war to eat the main force of the Liao army in one bite at a time, and finally achieve the goal of destroying the Liao State like destroying Goryeo.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Ao will naturally play a very important role in it.

This time, he secretly came to Zhongjing, just to cooperate with the Longyin Department to engage in diplomatic warfare, public opinion warfare, and discordant warfare.

Zhang Ao received a message from Meng Youde, the person in charge of this operation.

For Meng Youde, Zhang Ao has long heard of the name, knows some of this person's early experience, and also knows that Long Shi Di attaches great importance to him, so although according to the level, the other party is obviously a little undignified, at least it can't be compared with himself as a scholar, but this time the other party is appointed as the head in charge, he

I decided that I would cooperate well.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Ao went out, although it was already dark, but he thought that such a time was often the best moment for him to act.

Shangjing, as the capital of Liao, is also a prosperous place in comparison, and there is no curfew at night, on the contrary, at night, there are not many fewer people on the street than during the day.

When Zhang Ao went out, he sent someone to find Meiyang first, and this Su stone had been buried in the Liao State for a long time.

The two had met before and made some preparations, but now they are just waiting for the last moment. Mei Yang, who got the news, also went out and went directly to the mansion of the privy envoy of the Southern Court, found Huang Youguang, the housekeeper here, met with him, and explained his intentions.

Mei Yang is one of the staff of Xiao Hui, the owner of the mansion, and is familiar with Huang Youguang, the housekeeper here. In addition, he had already done the work a while ago to find the other party and gave him a lot of money, and he had already bought people off.

Huang Youguang accepted the money, and naturally knew that he was going to do things for others next. When Mei Yang repeatedly assured that this meeting was for the good of Master Xiao Hui, he was finally persuaded and agreed.

"Coincidentally, the master is at home today, and he didn't go out to the banquet, but it was a good time to meet. It's just Brother Mei, is this matter really for the good of the master? The lord won't resent me because of this, you know, if the lord has an opinion about me, I, the housekeeper, will not be able to continue to do it, and if I don't make a good one, my life will be lost."
