"Furthermore, it is really not easy for us to stay here every day while the imperial court transports food.'

"It's not easy for us to transport food, isn't it even harder on the other side?'

Chen An smiled: "I remember that in order to facilitate the transportation of food, I could leave those difficult places to them?

It's okay not to mention this. When he mentioned this, the corner of Liu Chu's mouth twitched.

This is what Chen An has done before.

In order to make it easier to defend for a long time, he directly lost several counties that were difficult to defend and gave them to others, leaving only an empty city.

By the way, he also personally led people to cultivate land everywhere, and directly established military camps on the spot, trying to be self-sufficient.

Everyone who sees this is dumbfounded.

Abandoning counties without permission from the court is a crime of abandoning land.

You are violating a taboo by setting up a military camp without authorization and trying to make the army self-sufficient.

To put it bluntly, almost everything Chen An did was something that ordinary generals would not dare to do.

Do ordinary people dare to do this?

I was afraid that I would be knocked back to my original form soon, and I would be beaten to the bottom.

But Chen An did it so many times and nothing happened.

"The terrain nearby is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can also camp on the spot, and there will be assistance sent by His Majesty to support us.'

Chen An said with a smile: "But it's not that easy for people from the Song Dynasty to come all the way. Every time a cart of food is transported, it costs a lot of money on the way.'

“Before, there were 300,000 people in the Song Kingdom, but now we don’t even know if there are 200,000 people, and they are scattered everywhere. This is proof.

For Chen An, the current situation is actually about burning money. It depends on who can spend longer and maintain combat effectiveness.

As Song's army came from afar, its maintenance costs were higher than Chen An's anyway.

So the longer it takes, the more beneficial it is in theory

Of course, the Song Dynasty could also, like Chen An, start military camps on the spot and move the people here.

But not to mention the cost in advance, even if it succeeds, there will still be enemy troops involved.

Chen An only maintained the defense on the main body, and did not say that he would not attack at all.

A cavalry team went out and swept through the grass-cutting valley. This was still okay.

Without a sufficiently stable military fortress to rely on, it is impossible to establish a military garrison.

"The enemy is getting weaker, which is good.

Liu Chu said helplessly: "But two years have passed and the Song army has long been exhausted. In my opinion, it is time to attack."

"We have an army of 400,000 men, and we have been preparing it for a long time. We have been practicing every day. However, the enemy has only 200,000 troops left. They are scattered in various places and exhausted.

"The advantage is mine!'

"What did you just say?"

Chen An suddenly turned around and his eyes fell on Liu Chu.

Liu Chu couldn't help but was stunned, a little confused: "My subordinates said... 400,000 versus 200,000, the advantage lies with me."

"Well said."

Chen An slapped his thigh and immediately smiled: "Give me the order to go down and secure the guards everywhere.'

"We must be prepared to guard him for ten years!'

"....ten years,

Liu Chu's eyes widened and he was completely confused.

What confused him even more was yet to come.
