Chapter 271: Struggle for Survival

Zhao Yuan's movement in Meizhou City is getting bigger and bigger, Meizhou is like a black hole, no matter how many other places are hiding from the war or the people displaced by the war, or the bandits who want to take advantage of the chaos to seek benefits, the defeated soldiers who flee, as long as they arrive here, there is no wind and waves at all, they are digested and absorbed by all parts of Meizhou.

"My lord, the people in the north are already struggling, the Song army connived at the soldiers to loot everywhere, and the property of ordinary people has been looted." Meizhou Assassin Mansion, Shao Meng reported to Zhao Yuan.

"The capital has been surrendered, hasn't the Song court issued a notice to settle the people?" Zhao Yuan frowned.

"Nope." Shao Meng shook his head with a solemn expression.

The Emperor of Houshu has surrendered, the Song army has not suffered great losses, there should be no revenge mentality, and there is no notice of Anmin, this matter is very unusual.

"You don't have any relatives and you're still over there, right?"

"A few months ago, we conducted some internal statistics, and if there were relatives and family members in the capital and the areas north and east of the capital, we arranged for someone to take them to Danling."

"It seems that those people in the Northern Song Dynasty are looking at the wealth of Shu, and the tree is very popular, I hope to shed less blood."

Zhao Yuan sighed, how can no one die in the war, how can it not hurt the civilian people. Before the unification of the Song Dynasty, during the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, wars were very frequent, and a large number of people and soldiers died.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yuan did not resist the Song Dynasty to attack the various separatist forces and achieve unification.

During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Houshu had more opportunities to recuperate than other regions because of its remote location. The accumulation of wealth in Houshu is relatively large, whether it is Zhao Kuangyin's signal, or Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin, Wang Renzhan, Liu Guangyi, Cao Bin and other chief and deputy deployments, supervisors and other people who invaded Houshu, they are still very cruel to the people of Houshu.

The destruction of Houshu in sixty-six days made the military generals of the Northern Song Dynasty and the military and civilians of Houshu completely in a sense of superiority.

"My lord, aren't we going to do something?"

"In this case, we can't do anything unless we raise the flag." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said helplessly.

"I know it's embarrassing for adults, but Song Bing's behavior is too much." Guo Du said angrily.

"They have an army of 60,000 good fighters, and if we follow them, even if we win, the losses will be very large."

"The brothers will not be afraid of them, and Song Jun may not know us, they are in the light, and we are in the dark."

"It's not a matter of being afraid or not, we have to guard Meizhou, and we will definitely not let the rebels come in and cause trouble to Meizhou."

Zhao Yuan did not expect that the Song army, which quickly destroyed Houshu, would be a disaster in Shu, and the wealth accumulated in Houshu over the years became the bane in the context of being destroyed in sixty-six days.

In this case, Zhao Yuan's accumulation in Danling over the years will definitely enter the eyes of those who have a heart, and at that time, the Song army, which has freed up his hands, will definitely covet Meizhou.

Fighting the Song army seemed to be a choice that Zhao Yuan had to make.

At the same time, the actions of the Song army will inevitably ignite the flames of war in Houshu, and the number of generals who will make chaos and the people who respond will inevitably increase.

Zhao Yuan, who understands the general trend of history, does not want to confront the Northern Song Dynasty in his heart, but this battle seems to be advancing to a situation where he has to fight.

"My lord, guarding Meizhou, and even capturing a larger territory for adults, is not difficult for our workshop army at all." Realizing Zhao Yuan's hesitation, Miao Shijie, the commander of the workshop army, said.

"In that case, my lord, let's fight." Guo Du said seriously.

"I'll wait for the battle, I hope your lordship will allow it!" The captains of the Workshop Army who came to the Assassin's Mansion to discuss glanced at each other and asked for instructions at the same time.

"You have to understand that the Northern Song Dynasty is very strong, although we have a state, but the time to take over is too short, and we have not formed the strength we have in Danling, so it is unrealistic to work against the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to succeed." Zhao Yuan looked at his subordinates who asked for battle, regardless of their disappointed eyes, shook his head, and analyzed.

In the battle of the Song army to destroy Shu, Zhao Yuan followed the generals of the Gongfang Army to analyze the progress of this battle, and already knew that the Song army had an insight into the enemy's situation, terrain, proper deployment, and flexible tactics.

"My lord, we are also very strong, although our military strength is much worse than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, but now the Northern Song Dynasty is like the people of our Shu Kingdom, there must be many people who are dissatisfied with them, as long as we are under the banner of protecting the people, there must be many people to join us." Tian Jun said slowly.

"Meizhou is too biased, we don't have so much prestige, and we can respond to every call. It is foreseeable that even if we can succeed, it will be countless people who will be buried for the war. ”

"My lord is kind-hearted, but how will we deal with ourselves in Shu in the future?"

"We will have a battle with the Song army, how to fight this battle, I hope the brothers will listen to me."

The current situation, as well as the discussion with the generals of the Workshop Army, made Zhao Yuan more and more clear about his situation, Meizhou Thorn History, this goal is too big, he is famous, staring at himself, and there are too many people who are ready to bite from him.

"I'll listen to orders." Miao Shijie and other workshop generals saluted.

……

In the next few days, the workshop army was frequently mobilized, and except for a small team in each county to lead the local recruited young men to maintain and pacify the order of the displaced people, all the other workshop troops had been assembled together and were in a state of full preparation.

The most elite Hurricane Battalion of the Workshop Army, except for a part to protect the safety of Zhao Yuan and his family, was all released from Meizhou to find out in advance the situation of the possible enemy in Meizhou.

"My lord, the Song army sent a letter, asking your lord to bring some money and food to the capital to wait for the delivery." Shao Meng said with a solemn expression.

"Is it finally here?" Zhao Yuan cheered up and took the letter.

"The move we made in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty did not work." Shao Meng nodded and said.

"What about other states, have there been assassins who have received this letter?"

"Yes, but what we found out about the situation is that the letter they received did not ask for money and food."

"It seems that someone leaked our bottom in front of Song Jun." Zhao Yuan smiled and threw the letter aside.

"Most of our personnel in the capital have been recalled, and the rest have been put into silence, so we can't grasp the situation over there now." Shao Meng clenched his fists, his expression a little fierce.

"Those who should come must come, anyway, it is impossible for most of the Song troops to enter Shu to attack our Meizhou, so we are not afraid. Since the Song army came with us first, then we can send a small amount of money to show that we don't want to fight. As for going to the capital, forget it. Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"The adults definitely can't go, I'm afraid that the Song army will think we are scared and come to attack us, but the brothers are ready, and they are not afraid of the Song army coming."
