Chapter 275: Stop, Stop
Zhao Yuan is very busy, very busy, and he has to be the master of all the things in Meizhou. And the Song army, which had already set off to attack Meizhou, had not yet arrived, and Zhao Yuan and the workshop army almost waited for the flowers.
The Song army prepared to attack this army in Meizhou, and set off from the capital of Houshu, because on the way to deal with all kinds of attacks and harassment from time to time, to transport the looted materials and property along the way to Shudu, the whole march took more than half a month before arriving at the border of Pengshan under the jurisdiction of Meizhou.
The team organized by Wang Yi near Pengshan has now become a peripheral unit of the Workshop Army after the Hurricane Battalion of the Workshop Army, and several officers were dispatched by the Workshop Army to re-select and train the entire team.
Wang Yi and a few of his skilled brothers directly joined the Hurricane Battalion of the Workshop Army, which made them tremble, and finally let them see what it means to be elite.
"My lord, there are two days left, we will fight with the Song army, the Song army has arrived in Dayi County, after passing through Xinjin, it will reach Pengshan, to which our Meizhou belongs, after we absorb Wang Yi's team, our workshop army has entered Xinjin County in advance, and we must complete the entry of a Song army into Meizhou and the territory under the jurisdiction of Meizhou." Shao Meng reported on the movements of the Song army and the deployment of the workshop army.
If Zhao Yuan decided to fight with the Song army at the beginning, it was just to show Meizhou's own strength in terms of force and create favorable conditions for the next peace talks with the Song army.
But now, Zhao Yuan sent a large number of intelligence forces to collect the tyrannical performance of the Song army since it went south, and he only had infinite anger in his heart, and decided to teach the Song army a hard lesson, even if he wanted to negotiate peace and annex in the end, he would offend these people.
"Teach them a hard lesson, really when the people of our Shu Kingdom are in the warehouse, the horses are put in Nanshan, let them bully so unscrupulously." Zhao Yuan forcefully threw a letter full of details about the Song army's wanton looting in Dayi County to the ground.
"Yes, the Workshop Army, guarantee the completion of the mission."
With absolute confidence in the Workshop Army, Zhao Yuan did not come to the front line in person, but Zhao Yuan participated in the formulation of the Workshop Army's combat strategy this time, after all, this is the first major battle that the Workshop Army will face since its establishment.
"My lord, since the Song army went south, a large number of people who have fled have entered the territory of Xinjin, and Xinjin County has ordered Bao Zhifei to keep the people out of the city. After we subdued Wang Yi, the workshop army entered Xinjin, and the Bao County order stubbornly refused to listen, thinking that the fleeing people would disturb the order of Xinjin, so the Miao commander had directly taken him down, and the workshop army took over the local affairs of Xinjin. ”
"What is the situation now, has the local area in Xinjin been stabilized, and can our logistics personnel and people who are responsible for receiving people be stationed in Xinjin?"
"There is no problem, although there is no natural danger between Xinjin and Dayi, but the materials urgently dispatched by our workshop army have been built at the border of Xinjin County, and the construction of several preset big traps has already been completed. In Xinjin County, with the cooperation of our workshop army and Wang Yi's previous local subordinates, it has long been stabilized, but because of the short time, our energy is focused on the war against the Song army, and the people of Xinjin still don't believe in us very much, and many people follow the people who fled from the north and prepare to move into the territory of Meizhou. Shao Meng reported.
"Speed up the resettlement of the transferred people, this is the best opportunity for us to get the population in Meizhou, so that these people will not want to leave once they arrive at the boundary of our Meizhou."
"Owner, on our side, because of the impact of the war, several workshops, except for cement and steel, have a certain degree of backlog of products produced, and after discussing with the stewards of several workshops, I have selected a group of clever people from each workshop to join the people who settle this group of people." Tao Pu on the side reported.
"Okay, so we don't have a problem with manpower." Zhao Yuan nodded, feeling very pleased.
On the Meizhou side, the situation has stabilized under the control of Zhao Yuan, but the news of the Song army's southward movement slowly spread among the people, and everyone knew that the Song army was coming to attack Zhao Yuan.
Within sixty-six days of the Song army, the news of the capture of the capital by sending troops to Houshu had already been known by the people, and most of them were pessimistic about whether Zhao Yuan could resist the Song army.
The construction of Meizhou, except for the construction of the city wall, which resumed after a short pause, the construction of other cities has long been stopped.
After some of the houses in the city of Meizhou were demolished, the construction of resettlement houses was affected and now homeless, Zhao Yuan immediately organized people to send standard tents from Danling, and first settled these people in the newly expanded city wall.
"The Song army came south and was ready to attack Zhao Tingshi, soon Zhao Tingshi will not be able to become an official, his worth and life are in danger, and the compensation he promised for demolishing our house will not count, what should I do?"
"Didn't you hear the people from the Assassin's Mansion say that the elite army from Danling has been sent to Xinjin to fight against the Song army, and the Song army will not come to trouble our Meizhou."
"How can you beat the Song army, even so many troops in the imperial court, and so many Xiongguan, in just two months, the Song army has broken through our capital, and even our emperor has surrendered to the Song army, how can the little Meizhou assassin history be compared with the Song army."
"The Song army that came to fight our Meizhou is not all, didn't the Assassin Mansion tell everyone, the Song army from the south, there are only a few thousand people, they are running for a long time, and they will definitely not be able to defeat the engineer army sent by Lord Assassin Shi from Danling."
"It's the Workshop Army, I hope that this Workshop Army of Lord Assassin Shi can defeat the Song Army, old man, I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen that army, and there can be a Workshop Army that treats our people so well."
"Yes, the Workshop Army is so mighty, it will definitely not be worse than the Song Army."
……
In the discussion, the people slowly strengthened their confidence in Zhao Yuan and the Workshop Army, so that the intelligence officers who monitored public opinion in Meizhou City under the mixed Zhao Yuan system in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Time passed slowly in Zhao Yuan's busyness, and the scouts of the Hurricane Battalion of the Workshop Army, who were released out, had already seen the shadow of the Song Army's scouts, and the large army of the Song Army, after two days of repairs in Dayi, officially rushed to Xinjin.
"General Cui, there is Xinjin in front, and there is basically a flat river over there, but the workshop army in Meizhou chose to deploy there, and our army only needs one charge to take them down."
"Okay, since Zhao Yuan, the assassin of Meizhou, is not interested and does not accept the letter of surrender sent by General Ben, then General Ben will fight until he surrenders." Cui Yanjin said in high spirits.
"The wealth of Meizhou has been demanded from us, hahaha." Wang Renzhan also laughed and said.
"General, something is wrong, our spies have all disappeared before they have entered the Xinjin territory, and the team of scouts that was just sent out has not returned yet."
"The whole army will stop, and then send someone to investigate the situation." Cui Yanjin deserved to be the general of the Song army, and as soon as he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately stopped the march.
……
On the side of the workshop army, they were already ready to engage in battle, but they didn't expect the Song army to stop suddenly, and the soldiers suddenly scolded.
