What's worse is not only that, after the sea area outside Fusang was cut off, supplies such as food and soldiers could not be sent, Li Tang became a lone army, and he could only try his best to recruit the people of Zhao and Song Dynasty into the army, but such soldiers had no loyalty at all.

An assassination is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, I knew that this would be the result, and I shouldn't have done such a thing in the first place. Well, now Fusang can't go back, so he can only stay here in the Suzhou area and wait for death.

Just when Li Tang was a little panicked, Su Shi went to Western Xia, and then destroyed it at a speed that everyone was amazed by, and then went straight to the western realm of Zhao and Song without stopping.

When he heard the news, Li Bo almost sat on the ground in fright.

He had a feeling that Su Shi wanted to take revenge on himself.

Sure enough, what happened next foreshadowed his feelings. Su Shi easily entered the western border with the dragon army, and followed the army all the way to the east, heading straight for their direction of Suzhou. I heard that now the vanguard of the Dragon Army has arrived near Ying Tianfu, and it is not too far from them.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do? If Su Shi arrives with the dragon army, what are our odds of winning?" Li Bo was panicked in his heart, but he still pretended to be very calm on the surface. There is no way, as a handle, if he is very flustered, it is strange if he is not messed up below.

Li Bo opened his mouth to ask, and the people below naturally wanted to answer. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, only the five of them, but they can tell the truth.

"I'm afraid... I can't stop it." Li Han spoke first.

This Li Tang's general, who is in charge of military affairs, can be said to know nothing more about the situation of his own army.

Speaking of which, Li Tang is just an underground organization, and it has been secretly operating in the name of reviving Li Tang. If it weren't for Fusang's support, they wouldn't even dare to make trouble, so they could only be a secret rat to make some money and do some painless damage to Zhao Song.

After such a small force came to the forefront, it was smooth at first, relying on the money accumulated before, recruiting troops and horses, and capturing Suzhou. Then, with the support of Fuso, they held this place.

But in reality, their strength is still weak. Even after such a long period of development, the number of troops in his hands is only 80,000. And there is not much harmony under their rule, at least the local gentry often do not listen to fiddling.

When they were asked to donate their salaries, they would only cry poor, and they couldn't get much money after a lot of effort.

If you don't have enough money, you can't train your troops. How can you expand your power if you don't have enough troops?

That is, Zhao Song's strength is also average, and relying on the thick walls of Suzhou City, he has blocked a few attacks, but that's all. It became impossible to continue to expand.

With such strength, if the dragon army really kills, it will be strange if it can be stopped.

"Is there no hope at all?" Hearing Li Han's words, Li Bo was naturally very dissatisfied.

"It's not that there is no hope at all, if Fuso can send troops to support, then there is still the strength to fight." Li Han saw that Li Bo was a little angry, so he hurriedly turned the conversation around and put the contradiction on the two generals of Fusang.

Otawara Yuki's Chinese is also good, he understood the meaning of Li Han's words, and without waiting for Li Bo to ask, he said directly: "Now that the sea area is controlled by the Dragon Navy, even if we have reinforcements in our country, we can't send reinforcements."

Yuki Otawara is not prevaricating, this is the truth.

Speaking of which, Fuso is an island country with limited resources, and if it wants to develop, it can only expand outward. Therefore, Li Tang came to the door, and they agreed to cooperate.

When I first came to the Central Plains, I did get a lot of benefits, and a lot of grain, grass and silver money were transported back, in exchange for the arrival of many Fusang troops. Now, 20,000 of Li Tang's 80,000 troops are their Fusang army.

And as long as the sea route is unblocked, Fuso can send more reinforcements, after all, there are still many people on its island who don't have enough to eat, as long as these ronins are given a chance, they can soon become an army,

You can become an outlaw and become an elite soldier.

But who let Su Shi block the sea route?

Sea ships can't come across the sea, Fusang's 100 materials, 200 materials, and at most 500 materials, when facing the 2,000 materials of the Dragon Navy, what is the difference between them and toys?

If you can't touch it, it's luck, and if you do, you will inevitably be annihilated. Fuso also tried to send reinforcements, but of the 10,000 people sent, only 1,000 eventually reached the Central Plains safely. Yicheng's chance of survival also scared Fuso, and they would never send reinforcements until the danger at sea was resolved.

Ota Yukihara also said that there was no way, so Li Bo said with a bitter face: "So, we are not destined to be the opponents of the Dragon Army?"

"Yes, it's just us, and we definitely won't be the opponent of the Dragon Army. But if you can unite with Zhao Song, you will have the power to fight." Li Han spoke again.

"United Zhao Song, will they agree?" Li Bo asked as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"Yes, this time Su Shi came, not only to deal with us, but also to deal with Zhao Song, it's just a matter of time. Presumably, the Zhao and Song courts will not fail to see this, so we have the possibility of joining forces." Li Han said as if assured.

"Okay, then we'll contact Zhao Song immediately, presumably they also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. At the same time, we also have to prepare our arms for war, inform those rich landowners, and tell them that once Su Shi is killed, these people will not have a good life, even if it is for themselves, they will have to come up with money." Li Bo made a ruthless decision.

At that moment, Li Nan, as a messenger, hurried to Bianliang City. In the city of Suzhou, the defense has also begun to be strengthened, not only the inspection of the city gate is becoming more and more strict, but the sound of the soldiers' drills can often be heard in the military camp outside the city.

Besides, Li Nan hurried all the way day and night, and the horses didn't know how many horses had died, so they came to Bianliang City on the fourth day, and then entered the Puwang Mansion, and saw Zhao Yunrang, who had been waiting for their arrival for a long time.

If it were usual, Zhao Yunrang might still take a shelf, no matter how he said it, someone else would come to beg him, and it shouldn't be him who is in a hurry.

But now, he doesn't have that time.

Li Nan met Zhao Yunrang very smoothly, and then proposed that the two sides jointly resist the Dragon Army. As the party requesting, Li Nan, on behalf of Li Tang, promised that after the Dragon Army was repulsed, they would definitely not take half a step to the north, and the two sides would use Suzhou as a line and not invade.

Li Nan's request was the result that Zhao Yunrang wanted before. It's just that at that time, he was afraid that Su Shi would deal with him, but now it is obviously not, so he wants to take the opportunity to ask for more benefits. For example, money.

Li Tang is very rich, otherwise he would not be able to feed so many soldiers and horses, Zhao Yunrang thinks so.

For Zhao Yunrang to ask for 20 million yuan, Li Nan directly refused. What are you kidding, if he has so much money in his hands, then he doesn't know how many soldiers he can train, so why bother to ask for help?

It's just that now there is a demand for people, and it is impossible to not bleed at all. In the end, Li Nan endured the pain and promised to give two million yuan, even if it was this money, he still needed to go back to get it from the local gentry in the territory, and he didn't know how many people he would offend for this.

Although there is a big gap with what he asked, no matter what, he also got benefits, thinking of the terrible Dragon Army, if the two parties do not join forces, it is completely impossible to compete, and finally Zhao Yunrang agreed.

With Zhao Yunrang's permission, Wen Yanbo was called over and arranged to go to Taihu Lake in the south to find Zeng Gongliang to discuss how to jointly deal with the Dragon Army.

Wen Yanbo is very reluctant to accept this task, he thinks that Su Shi is coming, and he can't beat others, and now he should think about how to negotiate to make the other party stop advancing, rather than blindly military confrontation.

The current Zhao and Song dynasties, after losing the southern land, have greatly reduced their tax revenues, and after a few years of tossing, there is no silver in the treasury, and it is unwise to choose a war in this case.

And even if it is won, so what? Zhao Song has become poor, and sooner or later there will be chaos.

That if

Once he loses, with Su Shi's character, it is strange what good results will be given to those who resist him.

Only through negotiations, make certain concessions, first put an end to the war, and then seek development, or Zhao Song still has hope.

But no matter what you think in your heart, the so-called king's order is difficult to disobey, even if this is Zhao Yunrang's meaning, that is Zhao Shu's meaning, as a courtier, he can't resist at all.

In desperation, Wen Yanbo reluctantly set off from Bianliang City with Li Nan and went straight to Taihu Lake.

......

Taihu Zhao Song military camp.

This is a time of panic.

There will be new news from the front line here every day, especially after hearing that even General Di Qing has surrendered to the Long Army and rebelled against Zhao Song together, many young generals' minds have also become lively.

At this time, Di Qing was not the most famous among the generals of the Zhao and Song dynasties, but he was the best among the younger generation. Because of his bravery and good at fighting, under his command, he repelled many Western Xia invasions, and over time, many aspiring young generals will unconsciously follow his example.

Now that the role models have surrendered to the Dragon Army, many people suddenly have a feeling of collapse of faith.

The change in the situation made them involuntarily think, the dragon army has been killed, what are they going to do under the general trend?

If an order came from above to make them enemies of the dragon army, would they fight or not?
