The Song army, which had been unable to gain a foothold on the east bank of Surabaya, retreated to Hexi. However, this time, the Song Dynasty sent an envoy saying that they wanted to negotiate.
County Magistrate Li immediately laughed and mocked at the combat headquarters: "This damn Song country thinks that he is an American. If you can't defeat him, let's talk about it. Let's talk about your mother. Just now, thousands and hundreds of people have died and they can't bear it."
Isn’t it? If the damn Song Kingdom doesn’t come over, let’s do it!”
"Shou Li, what kind of prince is the United States?"
"You're the only one who talks a lot of nonsense?"
Shapi, the guard on duty, turned pale, shrank his head and stopped talking.
"General, although the Song Dynasty suffered a small setback, it has not lost at all. Now that the wall is strong and the city is strong, the Song army is intimidated. If it is a field battle..."
There is a Rongguo official who came here incognito, mainly to secretly support the cause of justice. Although Rongguo is called "Rong", it is not Rongdi. He is a serious prince with the surname of Ji.
In the combat headquarters, Rongguo officials are also qualified to say a few black farts.
However, County Magistrate Li obviously didn't take the Rong Kingdom seriously. A country like this could be destroyed in a matter of minutes. What's there to say? The Rong Kingdom is old and has a strong foundation. For example, his ancestors are Fuxi.
But how many of them are not related to the Fuxi family?
Of course, I still gave him a little face. County Magistrate Li smiled and said: "Master, I am a close friend of the Lord of Surabaya. I will go and pay my respects as soon as possible. I think I will be able to help Li in the future."
"..."
"..."
The generals and doctors from all over the world in the combat headquarters looked confused and thought, Lao Li, are you crazy?
However, County Magistrate Li was not crazy, and actually had a pig's head cut off. The rock-sugar pig's head was extremely ripe and fragrant, making the generals and doctors who came to offer sacrifices cry with greed.
A pig's head is not enough. After sacrificing to the gods, these sacrifices have to be eaten. Except for He Bo, who is crazy, the sacrifices are poured into the water. After hundreds of years, He Bo has never appreciated it.
Many princes have suspected since ancient times that He Bo may be a woman who often suffers from irregular menstruation and may even suffer from dysmenorrhea.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so fond of fussing.
"Come on, come on, let's get started! I'll give you a piece of pig's ear, I'll make sure I'm satisfied!"
Rongguo doctor Feng Xu was a little embarrassed. After all, during the day, he behaved like a coward. He couldn't win if he just defended. It was not like he didn't know that a defensive battle didn't mean staying still in a latrine. He also had to rush out of the toilet and fool around with others.
Face, otherwise you will just get bombed in vain.
It's not that Doctor Feng doesn't understand that field battles have to be fought, and turtle shells have to be treated, but their country, Rong, is indeed a small country. It's about the same size as the Kingdom of Qunshu, so maybe it's not as good as a little bit.
Because the Rong Kingdom was hanging out by the Jishui River, they relied on Gou throughout the journey.
The reason why the Rong Kingdom still exists today is not that the Song Kingdom is so benevolent, but that the apparent boss of the Rong Kingdom is the Qi Kingdom.
Everyone drinks from the same Jishui River. The most arrogant big brother on Jishui Street is Qi Guo. Since the big brother doesn't have a golden basin to wash his hands, his words in the arena naturally still have weight.
Rock sugar pig heads, when County Magistrate Li was still the foreman, were low-cost, high-quality and low-priced. But these days, Magistrate Li is reluctant to bother with them.
In fact, the sugar yield rate of straw cane is not high, and it is completely incomparable with sugar cane. The main use of sugar is to feed bees. A small amount of sugar will be treated as a luxury product and sent to Suzhou or sold to the Central Plains.
At this time, Feng Xu, an old doctor, took a bite of the pig's ear, and the taste... was amazing.
The sacrifice must be eaten, otherwise the gods will be unhappy.
I also prepared some sugar residue wine, and the generals and officials of the various countries didn't share much. Each person had one count, which was almost two mouthfuls.
After taking the first sip, generals from more than a dozen countries expressed their stance: Lao Li, you are our friend!
After taking the second sip, I saw the bottom of the cup. The generals from more than a dozen countries continued to pat their chests: Lao Li, if you have any use for your brother in the future, just mention it!
okay.
County Magistrate Li spoke on the spot, saying that many of the soldiers under his brothers wanted to immigrate to Jiangyin. Do you think it would be convenient for the brothers to get a technical green card?
This group of generals smacked the taste of wine in their mouths for a long time before asking County Magistrate Li: Old Li, what price do you want from Jiangyin? If it is suitable, we can tell you.
okay!
County Magistrate Li thought about how when he was still the head of the township, a slave only cost 400 yuan. The soldier was not bought to help with immigration. We hold the banner of free trade and free immigration.
The State of Wu must resist.
After all, the king of our family said, let Da Wu become awesome!
How could Mr. Li handle this matter unfairly? He has a fair heart and the world can learn from it.
Then there was some haggling. After all, we are talking about human beings, not livestock, and we have to take care of some social discussion. For example, for a soldier, his family may ask him to reduce taxes, and his annual income is only a little bit, which is very unfair.
easy.
Regardless of whether they were soldiers or generals, they were all well-educated and high-level intellectuals. As soon as they opened their mouths, County Magistrate Li felt a very familiar elitist vibe.
That was the profound feeling I had when I was engaged in heavy physical labor after graduating from the Textile College.
They are the ones who cry out the loudest for the suffering of the people; they are the ones who exploit the low- and middle-income people in various ways...
But County Magistrate Li doesn't care. It's none of his business. These generals have only one idea. It's not impossible to send a soldier away, but they have to take care of the emotions of their families.
So, Lao Li, how about you take away the whole family who are serving as soldiers? This family counts as ten people, and I give you a 20% discount, so that counts as eight people. How about that?
County Magistrate Li didn't know whether it was black or not, but at this time County Magistrate Li really wanted to call the Second Battalion Commander over and bring two plates of spaghetti to these Piggy Georges to try.
"These dogs are three times better than pigs. They are really... awesome."
County Magistrate Li has worked hard for many years and thought that he was indifferent to human relationships. Now he has come to realize that when he was a foreman, it was still a civilized society. He had the support of "divine power" and was as powerful as a mountain, so he was able to control this gang.
A dog has three heads compared to a pig.
Well now, the whole world is full of streaking kings, and Mr. Li's "rudimentary" knowledge cannot break through to the lower limit of this era.
After calming down for a while, County Magistrate Li was a little unhappy. He returned to the living room, and after a disagreement, he took out the snake essence. After fucking him hard, he calmed down and asked the shy girl who was dozing off.
Snake Essence: "Hey, Guizhen is going to marry Xihou. Shouldn't she get married as soon as possible? Why has it been delayed until now?"
"I am a gentleman's concubine. I think there are changes in the country."
"Did I say that I wanted to marry you to Marquis Cai?"
"Um."
County Magistrate Li thought about it and thought that Cai Hou might want to ask Chen Guo for another princess to be his wife.
Nothing was impossible. Seeing these generals betraying their subordinates like this, County Magistrate Li felt that whatever these "ancient people" did was reasonable.
All of them are fucking talented.
It’s no wonder that espionage activities in the Song Dynasty were extremely difficult, but County Magistrate Li’s campaign to “severely crack down on the arrogance of dog spies” was a great success.
There is a difference between heaven and earth.
"Oh... I am so... kind and righteous."
Lao Li was moved by himself again.
The next day, Sha Dong, who was in charge of the reconnaissance, came back with some news. The Southern Song Army successfully landed on the beach, but the losses of the Southern Song Army were higher than those of the Northern Song Army.
But a successful login is a success, and any loss is acceptable.
It's just that even if the Song army successfully landed, they would be unable to do anything. Their troops could not be deployed. The large army had to detour more than ten miles to the south and then come back in a roundabout way. It took tens of thousands of miles and tens of thousands of horses to wait for ten days and a half.
Traveling lightly, that is, delivering food. The crocodile men of Jiangyin City are brave enough to fight in the field, and they no longer need to prove anything.
In fact, the reason why County Magistrate Li brought 3,000 troops out this time was for military training.
The next step was to rotate. Some crocodiles took some crossbowmen who had signed the immigration guarantee and began to rely on the fortifications to fight guerrillas.
This kind of guerrilla warfare is not the kind of guerrilla warfare that County Magistrate Li had in mind, but relies on ditches and village walls to fire arrows day and night.
To put it bluntly, it is a pure money-losing game.
The Song army spent money on technical equipment, but it couldn't beat Jiangyin because the technology gap was too big and the labor cost was the same. However, Jiangyin's production efficiency was dozens or even hundreds of times that of the Song Dynasty.
Even if you take your time, you can produce tens of thousands of qualified arrows in ten days. How many craftsmen does the Song Army have to recruit to achieve this kind of production efficiency?
At the same time, the daily training of the defenders was mainly about physical strength, that is, running far and long, but running fast was not important. The Song army was not familiar with the terrain anyway.
Originally they were familiar with it, but now there are trenches everywhere within the "Second Ring", and there are even small trenches as wide as one person, which are mainly used to prevent tanks and arrays.
As long as they can't get into position, the Song Army will be a scumbag. They have no brute force, but they can only fight badly with the peacekeeping troops.
And fighting a bad war is exactly what the Song army must not do.
"Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall, still build a wall! The fierce craftsman of Wu State——"
"It's already summer, and in another month, new grains will be filled. Is it possible that the harvest will be delayed until the autumn?!"
"What can I do? What can I do?"
"This son of Jiangyin is not a son of a human being. He has made an appointment to fight, and this is how he fights?! What kind of fighting method is this!"
"Don't delay any longer, cut it off when it's time to cut it off, attack one place by force, and penetrate into the hinterland!"
"You know what's going on inside?!"
There were huge differences of opinion within the Song Army. The gentleman of the Song State who presided over the meeting, Li Fei, also frowned. He was pretending to be cool before, saying that Li Jie was afraid of him, the Song State, so he just acted like a turtle, but what's the use? In absolute terms
In the face of strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless.
You have to brag about your awesomeness, and brag loudly.
But reality still has to be faced. Zi Lufei knew very well that this kind of turtle flow was extremely disgusting, and Song Jun could only chew it bit by bit and grind it bit by bit.
He didn't need to think too much about what would happen to Song Jun's teeth until the end.
Now someone in the Song Army wants to attack by force. It is impossible not to attack. Attacking one place by force, tearing a hole, and reaching the hinterland can always break the situation.
The situation must be broken, otherwise it will remain in stalemate.
It seems that Song State should be dragging Biyang State to death, but it is not the case. Behind Biyang State are dozens of countries and forces, and a superpower like Wu State is transfusing blood. If Li Jie can hold off the Song army for one more day, he
His reputation is even greater.
There is no way, the international community now fully sympathizes with the Biyang Kingdom, and everyone is criticizing the Song Kingdom.
If the great powers hadn't been having troubles within themselves, maybe some of the great powers would now call on their younger brothers to get involved and give the Song Kingdom a hard blow.
For example, Ye Gong of the Chu State decided that now was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, the Chu State was also extremely chaotic, and the forces behind the princes had begun to fight crazily. The continuous political assassinations had reached the point where assassinations were being carried out on the streets.
The political situation of Chu State was in great turmoil, so it was naturally impossible to interfere with Song State.
The alliance between Wu and Jin will not cause any extra problems. The one that can really affect Song is actually Qi. But Qi's current energy in the street is focused on Ji, Ju and Lai.
At this time, the war in the Central Plains meant that for the Qi State, it could completely absorb the territory of the Ji State, and at the same time carve up the Lai State with the sons of Lord Yiyang.
As analyzed by the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty, this is the best opportunity!
"Compassion does not command troops!"
A man came out of the queue, his eyes widened, "Your Majesty, the current situation, if nothing is done, the soldiers will be unstable. Conquering one place is like the sound of nature to the army!"
"As you said, if we attack by force, what will be the casualties?"
"Now the fierce man has sent archers to raid everywhere. As far as I can see, the number of arrows consumed in one day is about six to seven thousand. It has been fourteen or five days since I went out to raid and harass, and all one hundred thousand arrows have been used up. Even if the countries help each other,
Mr. Wu, a fierce man, how many hundred thousand arrows are there in this world?"
After hearing this analysis, Zilu Fei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the enemy's arrows will not be many."
"Your Majesty, please inform Dai Guo of this matter. If we attack the city at that time, please order Dai Guo to raise his shield!"
It is said that the shield is a huge wooden sign, and then it is pushed forward with a cart. When it reaches the wall or the city tower, stairs, ladders, building carts and other tools for grabbing the city head are set up.
In short, the purpose of raising a shield is to consume arrows and defensive equipment. To put it bluntly, those who raise a shield are cannon fodder.
Since he is cannon fodder, why not use it if his younger brother can use it?
As for Dai Guo's anger, how much is it worth?
Moreover, after analyzing this situation with Dai Guo and promising some compensation, Dai Guo pinched his nose and accepted it.
Furthermore, those who died were not nobles. Maybe those sent by Dai Guo were savages who wanted to change their status by relying on their military exploits.
No matter how many people die, it doesn't hurt.
"Who is the leader of Dai Guo's army this time?"
"Dai Jizi."
"oh?"
Ziluofei was stunned, he obviously knew about Dai Jizi, whose uncle was Jun Jixuan of Yiyang, and at the same time, Li Jie forced him to cut off his hair and humiliate him in Yangcheng. The entire Dai Kingdom was disgraced by him.
Normally, it would be impossible for Dai Guo to let him out again, but he didn't expect that he could actually become a leading general?
After thinking for a while, Zi Li Fei originally wanted to laugh a few words, but suddenly he felt bad. Dai Guo sent a guy like this to lead troops, and then helped Zi Li Fei, what did he think of the Song Dynasty?!
His face darkened, and Zi Lu Fei suddenly became unhappy: "I went to inform Dai Ji Zi."
