Left-behind the department.

Liang Zhongshu was furious, "A small yard has been captured for so long. What are you doing for food? Do you know that the front army of the Erlong Mountain bandits has broken three places of information, only thirty or twenty miles away from our Daming Mansion. It takes less than a moment to face the city. In that case, if they cooperate inside and outside, our Daming Mansion will be in danger!"

The prefect Wang whispered from the side, "Don't worry, our Daming Prefecture City is strong and as strong as a golden soup. There are six or seven thousand elite soldiers. How could the small Erlong Mountain bandit be able to break?"

Liang Zhongshu calmed down and said, "If there are no bandits in the city, I am not worried. But if there are these 32,000 bandits in the city, how can we defend the city with peace of mind? If one of them does not investigate and they are rushed out and seized the city gate, how should we defend this city?"

In the era of cold weapons, a solid and towering city wall is definitely a headache for all siege parties. Similarly, it is definitely one of the greatest confidences of all siege parties.

But there is an exception, that is, the loss of the city gate.

If the city wall is lost, the defenders may organize their forces to counterattack, but if the city gate is lost, it will undoubtedly bring a devastating blow to the morale of the defenders. In that case, the city will most likely be broken.

Speaking of this, Liang Zhongshu was furious again and cursed, "One of you is a food bucket, but you can actually let the thieves of the 32,222 Longshan Mountain mix into the city, and let them build such a solid courtyard. You are all sinners of the Song Dynasty!"

Prefect Wang accompanied Xiaojing on the side and said, "It's really strange. When did this group of bandits sneak in?"

On the other side.

Yan Qing said to Lu Junyi, "I am separated from the Grand Governor in Shuanglin Town. The Grand Governor brought people back to Liangshanpo, and then ordered Brother Shi Xiu and Brother Shi Qian to take their men to pieces and enter Daming Mansion. Xiao Yi guessed that the Grand Governor had already decided to attack Daming Mansion at that time."

Lu Junyi said, "You mean, the Grand Governor planned to Daming Mansion two or three months ago?"

Yan Qing said, "It should be."

Lu Junyi was puzzled and said, "Why did the Grand Governor attack the Daming Mansion? He is a minister of the Song Dynasty."

Yan Qing saw it thoroughly than Lu Junyi, saying, "It's probably because of money and food."

Lu Junyi frowned and said, "Money and Grain?"

Yan Qing analyzed, "Master, do you think the Grand Governor has so many troops to support and help the victims of the world. How much money and food can he use?"

After Yan Qing's analysis, Lu Junyi suddenly realized and said, "Yes, when I came back from Erlong Mountain, I passed by Liangshanpo and was invited by the Grand Governor to go up the mountain for three days. In the camp on his mountain, I saw no less than 30,000 to 50,000 people. To raise so many people, I really got a lot of money. There are also refugees at the foot of the mountain, afraid that they would not be less than 100,000 or 200,000, and it would take countless money to help them."

Yan Qing said, "There are 30,000 to 50,000 people in Liangshanpo alone. Wouldn't the Grand Governor have to have 100,000 people and 200,000 people? Be good, if you raise those refugees, the Grand Governor has 10 million stagnant of money and 10 million s of food is probably not enough. In this way, it is not difficult to explain the Grand Governor's plan to Daming Mansion."

Daming Prefecture is 400 miles north of Kaifeng Prefecture, about 800 miles away from the border of Liao Kingdom, facing the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain in the west, and the vast North China Plain in the southeast.

The three major rivers of the Yellow River, Zhang River and Yu River constitute the very developed waterway transportation in Daming Prefecture and have become an important transportation line for grain transportation.

Daming Mansion is a distribution center for transporting southern materials to Hebei, and is known as the throat of Heshuo.

With such a superior geographical environment, the economy of Daming Prefecture is naturally extremely developed. Both commercial and alcohol taxes follow Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, ranking second in the entire Song Dynasty.

In addition to its outstanding economic status, Daming Prefectures in all dynasties have been regarded as a place for military strategists to fight for since Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, the Liao Kingdom has always been the number one threat to the Song Dynasty. Whenever there is a war, Hebei has become the main battlefield for the Song and Liao battles, and Daming Prefectures naturally became the command center and material transfer center of the Liao Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this that Daming Mansion has hoarded huge materials that outsiders cannot imagine.

In fact, Li Yan's attack on Daming Mansion was mainly for the huge amount of material hoarded by Daming Mansion.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Daming Prefecture hoards more materials than Jeju Prefecture, Dongping Prefecture, and Dongchang Prefecture together.

Although Li Yan's supplies in his hands were not as much as Yan Qing guessed, Li Yan, who had several pieces of land and needed support, had a huge consumption at present.

If you go in and out for a long time, you will only go in and out, and you will not be as rich as Li Yan.

After all, Li Yan didn't know what the future harvest of his territory would be, and whether it would be as good as he imagined.

Moreover, in the next few years, there will be either a severe drought or a severe flood, and the flooding of the Yellow River will be even more common, so naturally, you need to reserve more to insure.

In addition, some of the Daming Mansions are not only money and food, but also huge military supplies. These things cannot be bought even if they have money.

Liang Zhongshu adjusted his emotions and said, "When the enemy is in front of him, you must comfort the people and appease the hearts of the people. Wang Taishou, this matter is your duty, and you should do your best."

The Wang Taifu immediately responded, "The emperor will go and tell Anmin in a while!"

Liang Zhongshu said again, "Organize three yamen runners to the wall to assist in defense, and order all the soldiers in the three camps in Yu Jiadan, Feihuyu and Huaishupo to abandon the camp and retreat to the city to assist in defense..."

Wen Da carefully suggested, "Good look, if so, our Daming Mansion will become an isolated city..."

Liang Zhongshu said, "I don't want this either, but although our Daming Mansion has six or seven thousand soldiers, four or five thousand are horse soldiers, and only two thousand infantry soldiers. The horse army guarding the city is useless, and only infantry soldiers rely on infantry. There are 32,000 bandits in the city. If we don't need these four or five thousand horse soldiers to kill them, how can we defend the city with peace of mind?"

It turns out that this Daming Mansion is the number one important city in Hebei, but after all, Daming Mansion is not a front-line prefecture city, but mainly serves as a transit emergency rescue. Therefore, the main force is the horse army with better mobility, and there are not many infantry troops.

Wen Da also knew that Liang Zhongshu was telling the truth, but the lonely city was not guarding...

Li Chengdao "The bandits are in the city, and the situation is urgent. If you hesitate, you will definitely fall. The move of the benevolent is indeed a temporary solution... The villain also has three suggestions, and I want to give my benevolent reference."

Liang Zhongshu said, "Talk."

Li Chengdao, "I can make a letter from my family. I sent a confidant to go to the capital at night to report to Master Cai to know about this matter, and ask Master Cai to mediate and ask the court to send elite troops to rescue him early. This is the best strategy; second, publish a document and let neighboring prefectures and counties dispatch troops to respond early. This is the middle strategy; third, collect people and men to go up to the city and work together to protect the city, and prepare wooden cannon stones, crossbows and hard bows, gray bottles of gold juice, and Xiaoye prepares them. This is a last resort."

Liang Zhongshu said, "I have sent someone back to Beijing to know that Erlongshan is attacking Beijing, so I also went to Wenxiang, Ci, Ming, En, Bo, and Yizhou. As for Guangzheng, you are also responsible for this matter!"

The prefect of the king said, "Yes, the officials must do their best to recruit civil servants."

Liang Zhongshu looked around and said coldly, "Everyone, don't blame me for not reminding you that this Daming Mansion is one of the four capitals of the Song Dynasty, and is an important defense center in Hebei. It has an important position. If it is compromised by thieves, I have my father-in-law and Grand Tutor to save my life. You don't have it. If there is really that day, you will be waiting to be buried with Daming Mansion!"

When Wang Taishou and others heard this, they were all shocked and knew that Liang Zhongshu's words were true. By then, they would be the scapegoats of Liang Zhongshu, and Liang Zhongshu would only be a different place to become an official.

Therefore, Wang Taishou, Li Cheng, Wen Da and others said in unison, "Dare not to die for the sake of kindness!"
