Rustling, rustling, another sudden snowfall caused the eaves of Biyang City to be covered with white.
When I woke up, the snow at the door had actually reached my feet.
"It's the third snow."
Originally, snowing was a headache, but now it's snowing, which is a huge benefit.
If you want to attack the city in this kind of weather, the possibility of success is extremely low.
However, if you use military intimidation and use coercion and inducement, you still have a great chance of taking over Biyang Kingdom.
"Shou Li!"
"Dong, how about investigating?"
"The Song army is still west of Biyang. They should wait for soldiers from other countries to arrive before attacking Biyang."
"To the west of Biyang, that is the Kingdom of Xue."
"yes."
Sha Dong thought for a while and nodded. At the junction of Xue State and Biyang State, due to the ice and snow, it was better to walk instead of traveling by car.
In addition, both countries are small countries, so as long as they take measures to protect themselves from the cold, the problem will not be big.
Since having the experience of grabbing grain in Yancheng, Sha Dong has a strong self-confidence. It is no problem to lead a team to investigate the border of Xue State.
"How many chariots did the Song army dispatch?"
"Three hundred times."
"What a great gesture."
Three hundred vehicles. In field battles these days, as long as the terrain is suitable, three hundred vehicles can defeat a weak country's phalanx.
Only large countries such as Qin, Jin, Yan, Qi, Wu, and Chu could resist the impact of chariots through powerful infantry phalanxes.
Jin and Qi were at odds with each other for a while and even fought a war. The total number of chariots dispatched by both sides did not exceed 2,000.
To deal with a Biyang country, the entire country was equivalent to a county of Chu State, and three hundred chariots were actually used. Needless to say, these three hundred chariots were not prepared for Biyang state.
"The damn Song Kingdom is definitely not targeting this vast wasteland of Biyang Kingdom."
After thinking about it for a moment, Mayor Li made a bold guess. The Song State took the lead this time and brought together Lu State, Chen State, Liu State, Xue State and other large and small countries to form an alliance. If it was just for this little land output, it would be a loss at a loss.
The Song Dynasty was founded on commerce, and it was itself a "merchant." There is no doubt that the core competitiveness of the Song Dynasty was commerce.
Once you grasp the essence, everything will make sense.
The Song State focused on Biyang State, a "traffic artery", and wanted to eat it.
And now is indeed the best time. There is civil strife in Wu and it is winter again. Even if Wu or Chu want to rescue Biyang, water from far away cannot save the fire that is near.
When we come to rescue next spring, the day lilies are already cold.
But obviously, the weather is a trouble for reinforcements, and it is also a trouble for the Song Dynasty.
It is impossible to capture Biyang City in winter by relying on military operations alone, and it is even very likely that the attack will take a year and a half.
As long as the Biyang Kingdom holds out until the weather is suitable and any father from the Wu or Chu Kingdoms comes to the rescue, the Biyang Kingdom will be completely fine.
"There are talented people in the Song Dynasty, and they came up with such a trick."
Direct military action cannot be successful, but if you cooperate internally and externally, you will be very successful. Moreover, as soon as the coalition forces came out, the momentum of the multinational forces was quite large. As long as the monarch of the Yang Kingdom had poor psychological quality and could not stabilize the domestic panic, then the internal situation would be a little better.
It's very easy to set fire and create a few traitors.
I just never expected that a strong man would come out.
Township Chief Li ignored everything and directly controlled and controlled the big businessmen from Song, Lu, and other countries in the city. Not only did the chance of cooperation between the inside and outside disappear, but it was also smoothly stabilized.
Domestic people's hearts.
As a result, both at home and abroad, there was actually the "unity of people" that was created when King Wu Gou Chen faced off against the Jin Dynasty!
In addition, Mayor Li's shameless bragging about "sacrifice one's life for righteousness" has actually caused passionate people from neighboring countries to gather in Biyang City, wanting to "hoe the strong and help the weak" with Mayor Li!
Moreover, Township Chief Li's current brand is very strong, because he holds high the slogan of "righteousness" and publicly declares that those who follow him, General Li, to support the weak can be called "righteous men".
For some rangers with a strong sense of justice, they do not have many such concepts and ideas in daily life, and their actions only follow the simplest idea of "helping others".
But when Li Jie praised this idea and the behavior driven by this idea as the "righteous act" of a "just man".
This kind of thinking and behavior was immediately sublimated, which surprisingly raised the level of these rangers.
Once your behavior has a guiding ideology, it will become very different.
Township Chief Li actually didn't think much about it at first, he just wanted to grab a handful and leave. Moreover, he was not sure how many of these rangers were craftsmen.
However, the integrity of some of the rangers was truly admirable, which actually made Li Jie feel a little ashamed.
Asking them to go out of the city to build ice blocks is really disrespectful and nonsense.
Li Jie arranged for them to do whatever they wanted. In short, a Great Wall of ice of various sizes had been formed outside Biyang City.
Although it is just a "mini" Great Wall, with this section and that section, it is more than enough to defend against tanks.
The amount of the project is actually quite large, and with the combined efforts of humans and animals, we really have to work hard to achieve success.
With this hard work, no matter how hard he pretends to be blind, Mayor Li can't pretend not to see.
So, Mayor Li also gave some benefits, and each of the hundreds of young and strong rangers who worked as coolies received a spoonful of honey.
In addition, Mayor Li also asked the "Yunyan Clan" to help brag in the city, giving these rangers a good reputation.
"Now there is a 'loyal liver' from the Wu Kingdom who has entered Biyang to educate hundreds of thousands of 'righteous courage'!"
That's right, Township Chief Li is the little sweetheart of Wu King Gouchen Zhongcheng, and the "loyal liver" of Wu State. There is no problem at all. As for those old people who work hard to build ice blocks, they are all made of this piece of Wu State.
"Loyalty and courage" inspired by "loyalty to the liver".
They are all "good people", not for food or clothing, but because they heard that someone bullied the small, so they came to help.
The "Yunyan Clan" was so praised that there was no opponent in Biyang City, because all potential opponents had been looted by General Li.
As a spy, of course he wants to steal his last copper plate and last piece of cloth.
The merchants in the city who dared to be angry but dared not speak out had no choice but to endure it and watch helplessly as the "Yun Yan Clan" and the shameless gang boasted about "loyalty, loyalty, righteousness, and courage."
When Biyangzi Yubao saw that "people's support" was available, she immediately followed the trend and said, why doesn't General Li unite these people into a battalion and use them for his own use?
Township Chief Li originally thought that he would just let these guys fend for themselves, and just don't hinder them from paddling and praying to God for a blizzard.
Looking at it now, these guys together are really more useful than forcing Yang Guo's own soldiers.
At least these guys are really not adulterated when they work hard, and they are much better than forcing Yang Guo's own soldiers.
After being the general of the Kingdom of Chu for a few days, Li Jie knew very well the thoughts of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Yang. They had three thoughts now: First, the father of the Wu Kingdom came quickly; second, the father of the Chu Kingdom came quickly; third, the two fathers would not
Come on, I'm leaving now.
Even Yubao himself was too timid to force Yangzi. If it were spring now, he would have fled abroad for refuge.
But it’s not winter now, and running is difficult.
"There are capable people in the Song Dynasty, and I'm not bad at all. If you get these people together, I don't believe they can still cooperate inside and outside."
After thinking about it for a while, Mayor Li finally formed a battalion of these rangers and called them "Yi Guang".
The mission of the "Yi Dan Camp" is very easy. The main job is to eliminate the anti-Bi Yang Kingdom and saboteurs, ensuring that no bad element in Bi Yang City has a chance to cause trouble!
