It's just that he can be defeated, and Li Tang can't be destroyed in his own hands. The best of the younger generations will let them continue to live and lie dormant again, and maybe one day, after they have accumulated enough ability, they may see the light of day again.

"Master, is this really the case?" Li Han naturally understood what it meant to do this, and asked unwillingly.

"No, there's always nothing wrong with preparing first. If we can stop the Dragon Army, people don't have to send it out, but if we can't stop it, Li Han, the hope of the Li Clan's future will be in your hands." Suddenly turned around and said something serious.

"Yes, don't worry, the head of the family, when it is really a critical moment, I will fight for my life to keep them safe." Li Han hugged his fists and saluted, and at the same time made a promise.

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved that you can do something." Li Bo nodded emphatically.

At this time, although Li Bo had prepared for the worst, he still hoped for luck.

It is not as exaggerated as the legend to think that the strength of the dragon army is just like that.

Relying on the thick walls of Suzhou City, if it really blocks the dragon army, wouldn't it be the best. It's like Zhao Song, after fighting Suzhou City for so long, didn't he take it down?

People are always like this, when there is still a glimmer of hope, they don't think about working hard, to really use their strength. And when there is no hope at all, it is too late to think of other solutions.

Zeng Gongliang left, and the entire military camp in Taihu Lake went to the empty building.

Many local gentry who originally supported the Song army became rootless duckweed. At this time, the dragon army was still some time away from them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Tang in Suzhou City suddenly made a move, sent a large number of soldiers, and plundered these gentry.

No one knows how long Suzhou City can block when the Dragon Army really arrives, and whether it can be blocked. But until then, there's always nothing wrong with having some extra supplies.

When Zeng Gongliang was there before, he didn't move these gentry, because these people had some connections behind them, and if they moved, they were too involved, and they were easily impeached by the courtiers.

Li Tang made a move, but he didn't have the slightest concern.

These people were not their Li Tang's subjects in the first place, and robbing them really wouldn't have any psychological burden.

The gates of Suzhou were wide open, and the looting lasted for seven days.

In seven days, as many as 2,000 wagons of various materials were snatched, and the total amount of copper coins was about 12 million yuan.

This is just the gentry in the area around Taihu Lake, and they got this silver tael, which shows that Zhao Song is really rich at this time. It's just a pity that this money is held by the gentry class, and the property in the hands of the real people is very little.

The gates were open for seven days in a row, and a lot of men were hired to bring all the supplies into the city. And Bai Xing and the lone wolf brought people together, and also took this opportunity to disguise themselves as people and enter Suzhou City.

On the tenth day, the first dragon army outside the city of Suzhou appeared.

Then, on the third, fifth, and seventh days, the dragon army came in turn. The originally empty Taihu military camp was filled with people again, and the number of people was only a lot more than when Zeng Gongliang was there before.

On the way to the dragon army, it has been in the midst of a frenzied expansion.

The places I passed through were all Han land, and the people I met were all Han people.

Most of these cities often surrendered as soon as the dragon army arrived, and the generals and soldiers who defended the city joined the dragon army.

At first, the Long Army was still selectively collecting the Song Army, but later, the number of Toucheng was too large, and they did not have the time or energy to do the screening thing, so they simply joined the team.

Anyway, at the beginning of the operation, the armies brought enough grain and grass, which was why Su Shi was worried that the Han people would not have enough to eat. took out a full 200 million faith points, all of which were exchanged for food.

Whether it was a transport vehicle or a chariot, all the food was pulled, and the original artillery was changed from riding to walking. So much food, even if you throw some of it away from every place, it is still very sufficient, and for this reason, you will gather a lot

A small army will not have any problems eating it.

The wealth and power of the Dragon Empire were completely revealed at this moment.

When entering the western territory, there were more than 600,000 dragon troops, and now, the number of dragon troops has directly exceeded 1 million, and this number continues to increase.

This is equivalent to the Great Song Army's troops stationed in these cities, basically all of which are owned by the Dragon Army, which not only makes the comparison of forces between the two sides continue to get closer, but also greatly reduces the morale of the Zhao and Song Dynasty troops.

Under the city of Suzhou, the dragon army gathered more and more, and Li Tang's soldiers on the city tower were panicked.

Three days passed, and when the Dragon First Emperor Su Shi finally came to the city of Suzhou, it also indicated that the siege was about to start.

And in the middle of a barren mountain thirty miles outside the city, a team of nearly a hundred people was gathering here, and judging from the nervous expressions on their faces, it was clear that they belonged to the kind of people who were frightened by the bows.

"How? Haven't you started yet?"

When a man dressed in the costume of the people of Zhao and Song Dynasty entered the mountain and came to the crowd, Li Nan asked anxiously and nervously.

"If you go back to your lordship, it hasn't started yet, but I saw the Golden Dragon Banner from a distance, and it should be Su Shi who came in person." The scout, who was in charge of going down the mountain to find out the news, replied with a slight gasp in his voice.

This group of people is Li Nan's team who returned from the negotiations in Bianliang City. They were already in a hurry, but the vanguard of the Dragon Army still rushed to the outside of Suzhou City before them, and began to strengthen their vigilance, strictly passing by and so on.

Afraid that he would be bumped into by the dragon army and expose his identity, Li Nan took everyone to hide in the mountains, exploring the situation while thinking about how to deal with it.

When he heard that the golden dragon flag representing Su Shi appeared under Suzhou City, Li Nan sighed and said, "Our guess is really good, this Su Shi is really coming for Suzhou City. It seems that the assassination should not have been carried out in the first place."

As a high-level member of Li Tang, Li Nan naturally knew about the assassination. At that time, he also voted in favor, and in his opinion, it would be useful to send eight peerless masters to complete the assassination mission. Even if they all died in battle, it would be worth it to exchange the death of eight people for a serious blow to Su Shi.

But I didn't expect that the eight people would miss. This is eight peerless, this is also the strength that Li Tang has accumulated after many years of dormancy, but he can't even complete the assassination task, I really can't imagine how tightly Su Shi's lair is defended.

Not to mention the sharp attack, the defense is still so tight, my God, what kind of opponent did you find for Li Tang?

If he had known this, when Su Shi's strength was still weak, even if they Li Tang spent some more effort, they would have killed this person.

Only now, it's too late to say it's all this.

When Li Nan was still thinking about how to solve the situation in front of him, Wen Yanbo, who was not far behind him, was also playing his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart at this time.

He had seen with his own eyes how Su Shi and the dragon army defeated the barbarian cavalry.

He will never forget that scene for the rest of his life. After returning to Bianliang City, he told Zhao Yunrang everything he saw, and then he was given a gag order, strictly ordering him not to spread the matter, otherwise he would be punished for his felony.

can't say it to others, but Wen Yanbo knows very well in his heart that Su Shi is not easy to mess with.

In the face of such an unmanageable person, Wen Yanbo believes that the only way to solve the problem is through negotiation, and to choose war is to bring about self-destruction.

He also believes that as long as Zhao Song shows enough sincerity, it is still possible to succeed in the negotiation. There are many things in the world that cannot be discussed, and in the end it depends on how much you can give.

It's just a pity that Su Shi proposed to make Zhao Song surrender as a whole, and this is something that Zhao Yunrang must not see that cannot happen. In addition, the current Zhao Song still has some foundation, and before he fights, Zhao Yunrang will not restart the negotiations, and some of his own ideas can only be put in his stomach.

Unexpectedly, when he was still waiting for the renegotiation to be reused, Zhao Yunrang would arrange for him to go to Suzhou as a special envoy. Truth be told, Fumihiko

Bo didn't want to come from the bottom of his heart, and in his opinion, Li Tang could not be Su Shi's opponent, and this alliance was a wrong decision at all.

But after thinking about it, he didn't dare to disobey the will, so he followed all the way. Then, he didn't even enter Suzhou City, so he was blocked out.

In the past few days, he also knows what is happening outside. Li Nan didn't shy away from him, after all, they were in a state of cooperation now. He also heard clearly what the person who sent to inquire about the information came back and said it.

It was precisely because he heard it clearly that Wen Yanbo knew in his heart that this time Li Tang was afraid that it would be over.

How could Wen Yanbo, who claims to be a smart person, be with a person who is about to be finished?

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

In order to survive, or even to live better, Wen Yanbo came up with other ideas. For example, he captured Li Nan and dedicated him to Su Shi.

made such a decision, or had such an idea, Wen Yanbo did not convince himself.

First of all, Su Shi is also a Han Chinese, and his defection to Su Shi is not a national betrayal.

Secondly, compared with Zhao Yunrang's father and son, Su Shi can make the Han nation stronger and make the people richer.

The so-called back to the big tree is good to enjoy the shade, that is, of course, you have to find a big tree to rely on. Obviously, Su Shi's legs are thicker than Zhao Yunrang's.

Besides, Liangchen chose to live in the wood, that is, he knew that as soon as Su Shi came out, Zhao and Song would be finished, so what were you waiting for. He is no longer in Bianliang City now, that is a great opportunity, if he doesn't take advantage of the current contact with Su Shi, will he have to wait until Bianliang City is broken, and he will become a prisoner?
