After expecting a battle with the Song army, Zhao Yuan was not afraid, but a little more excited, with the combat power of the Gongfang army, the defeat of the Song army that came to invade Meizhou was already expected.

Regardless of the quality of personnel, equipment, logistics, or the formulation of strategic tactics, Zhao Yuan's workshop army is in an absolute advantage over the Song army, and there are several crushing strategic weapons in the Laoshan base, which can be put into the battlefield at any time as needed.

The morale of the workshop army is high, Meizhou City and several counties under its jurisdiction, after the propaganda of Zhao Yuan during this time, most people have recognized Zhao Yuan, so Zhao Yuan at this time, before the war with the Song army began, was already thinking about how to end the war after the war and how to ensure that Meizhou could maintain peace and stability for a long time.

"My lord, over there in Pengshan, intelligence officers have monitored that there is an anti-Song armed force that has a tendency to enter Pengshan." When Zhao Yuan was accompanying his wife and son in the back office of the Assassin's Mansion, Shao Meng came to report.

"Do you find out about this team? Tell me about it. Zhao Yuan waved his hand, put down the little Ruen in his arms, and motioned for Shao Meng to come to the front hall of the back office.

"Yes, this team is mainly composed of the defeated army on the other side of the capital, the leader is surnamed Wang, called Wang Yi, and there are many people in the capital to join, and the size of the personnel is about 1,500 people." Shao Meng said.

"How's their gear?"

"The equipment is extremely poor, there are only a small number of swords, there are only three or five sets of armor, and it is still dilapidated, and the protective effect is better than nothing, and most of the other people use wooden sticks and farm tools as weapons, and their combat effectiveness is extremely weak." Shao Meng introduced.

"Who is this Wang Yi?"

"Wang Yi is a native of Xinjin, less than thirty years old, martial arts since childhood, once went to the capital of a number of martial arts halls to learn art, after learning, want to take refuge in the capital of the Wang family, go to the army to serve, but somehow offended a son of the Wang family, and finally failed to do so, the capital military home, can not enter. Therefore, his people often feel self-pitying, and they have the courage to be invincible, but they have no way to serve the country. ”

"It seems that he is still a person with considerable ambitions, logically speaking, he was suppressed by the children of the powerful, and he should have resentment against the officials of Shu, why would he resolutely raise the banner of anti-Song this time?"

"We haven't been able to find out why."

"I'm afraid that he is an ambitious person, and his purpose is not only to oppose the Song Dynasty, but also to find out whether their behavior in the local area is really as upright as they say." Zhao Yuan intuitively felt that Wang Yi was not simple, and said.

"Yes. The Wang family in the capital, it seems to be Wang Pinxuan, Wang Sanye's family, this time the Wang family, as a military attache family, heard that the damage is quite large, do you want to help Zhang Liuye and them. ”

"We have been preparing to deal with this situation in the past few years, Zhang Xucong and they also understand in their hearts the current situation I expected, the people who are close to their family have already been arranged, and others, even me, can't do anything, they also understand, so they haven't come to me for this time." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"It's not easy to hear, they came to our side early, otherwise in this situation, they may be the first to be sacrificed." Shao Meng said understandingly.

"Continue to pay attention to Wang Yi's group, and if they have any moves to cause trouble to Peng Shan, they will be dealt a resolute blow immediately." Zhao Yuan commanded.

"Understood."

……

In the capital of Houshu, under the advocacy of a group of "former officials" in Meizhou, a group of generals and soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty with Zhao Kuangyin's order in their bodies suddenly turned red with their eyes on Meizhou's wealth.

The Song army attacked Shu with only 60,000 soldiers, but basically they were veterans of a hundred battles, they had been on the battlefield for a long time, and their combat power was strong, but the Song army was actually undersupplied, and the war relied on fighting to nourish the war.

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin's promise to the soldiers who attacked Shu that the imperial court only needed the territory, weapons, armor, grain and grass of Houshu, and all the captured and looted property of the rest of the Song army belonged to the soldiers.

In this case, knowing that Meizhou has the most prosperous history of Houshu, the generals of the Song army did not mobilize much, and the group of Song army soldiers who attacked the capital of Houshu not long ago almost fought each other in order to get the opportunity to send troops to Meizhou.

Not long after, the Song army was headed by Cui Yanjin, and the capital supervisor Wang Renzhan sent 5,000 troops, plus nearly 3,000 troops from Houshu, a total of 8,000 people, all using weapons and equipment captured from Houshu, as well as grain and grass that had only been brought for half a month, and set off, while preparing to suppress all the way to suppress the rebellions in various places, large or small, while rushing straight to Meizhou.

……

"My lord, you are right, the Song army has already sent troops, known as the 15,000 army, and is rushing towards Meizhou." As soon as the Song army sent troops, Zhao Yuan's side did not delay for long before he received the news.

"It seems that this scene can't be avoided, what about that Wang Yi, is there any news." Zhao Yuan shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, the county order of Pengshan County has received a message from Wang Yi, as long as Pengshan County does not surrender to the Song army and supports him with grain and grass for thousands of stones, he can resist the Song soldiers for Pengshan and ensure that Pengshan is safe." Shao Meng said with a smile.

"Pengshan County didn't agree, did you?" Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

"No, we only used five bags of flour from Danling to scare Wang Yi's group and make them dare not come to attack Pengshan." Shao Meng laughed.

"Dust explosion?"

"Yes, a squad of the Hurricane Battalion did it, in a canyon not far from Wang Yi's station, and performed such a play for him, and at the same time wrote him a letter stamped with the seal of the Pengshan County Order, which made him tremble and dare not say anything about asking for food and grass again." Shao Meng laughed.

"Okay, it's just that Wang Yi is quite ambitious, but he treats the people quite well, and if he has the opportunity, he can select the elite among them into the workshop army."

Zhao Yuan didn't take Wang Yi's group of people to heart, but for Wang Yi's group of people who were not evil, he still couldn't bear to let them disappear in the collision with the Song army.

"Okay, our Hurricane Battalion team can easily complete this mission."

"The movements of the Song army, from this moment on, we have paid full attention, and at the same time, the Song army is going south, and a large number of people who have suffered along the way will definitely flee to Meizhou. Before dealing with the onslaught of the Song army, these people who fled to Meizhou will hit us first. Therefore, we have divided most of our military forces and defeated them on the way of the Song army's advance in advance, and we can't let the flames of war burn to Meizhou itself. Shao Meng reported on the deployment of the Workshop Army.

"Attack halfway, our fortifications on the Meizhou side are just in case, so that the soldiers and colleagues who are fighting bravely must protect themselves, I am on the Meizhou city wall, waiting for everyone to triumph."
