"That's right, this is it!"

The soldier spoke, and pushed the gate open.

Zeng did follow a step and stepped into the main hall, and then he felt a darkness in front of him, and when he looked at it, he saw a huge sand table in the center of the palace, and the people next to the sand table were whispering and exchanging information.

Standing here, Zeng did hesitate and didn't know what to do.

In the distance, a person suddenly looked sideways and complained, "Are you coming?"

The sound is like a wild goose, high and long, and the red robe makes Zeng Zhen's eyes stunned, as if he is not giving up.

Obviously, the person in front of him is Xiao Feng, who is in charge of the entire Red Phoenix Army.

Seeing the person in front of him, Zeng Cheng hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Under Zeng Que, meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Feng asked again in the distance, although the speed of the voice was fast, but the words were clear, so that he could hear it really clearly.

"Since you are here today, then you tell us, how many people are still in Chengdu Mansion at present?"

"This ......"

Zeng was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that the way to move here would be a problem.

"It seems that the rumors in the city are true, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is really resolute. Sighing in his heart, Zeng did take a deep breath, and then replied: "After several months of rectification by the lord, there are currently about 134,652 young and strong women and about 116,366 young men in the city. There were only 8,357 lonely old people. As for those who have not yet reached the first place, there are only 46,368. In total, there were about 35,743 people. ”

These data, since he was engaged in the processing of residence permits, have always been kept in mind and have never forgotten.

"That's all?"

Xiao Feng sighed in his heart, revealing a little sadness.

You must know that Chengdu Prefecture is located in the center of the Sichuan Basin, covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and there is a continuous fertile soil, which is enough to feed a considerable population, which is not comparable to narrow areas such as Chongqing and Luzhou.

At the height of the Song Dynasty, the permanent population of the city alone exceeded one million, not to mention the merchant travelers who often passed through at that time.

But after more than a decade, it is hard to believe that such a city has fallen into decay.

Zeng did close his head and replied: "This data is true, and my subordinates dare not be false." ”

To this day, he still feels his heart bleed when he thinks about these data.

Of the 300,000 people, nearly half of them are young and middle-aged.

The population of the elderly is less than 10,000, and the young are only one-tenth, so this performance only shows a cruel truth.

That is because of the Mongol invasion, which caused the entire Sichuan and Shu to collapse, and a large number of old and young people were difficult to survive because of their own weak strength.

Even the young adults who survived were massacred in large numbers because of their gender, and only the women remained because of their status.

And in this, how many joys and sorrows are hidden, no one can figure it out.

"Alas, if this is the case, it is impossible to completely annihilate the Mongol army. Xiao Feng sighed, unwilling.

The troops she brought with her from Guannei were only 30,000 men, and of course the Song army that had taken refuge one after another.

Combined, there are about 50,000 people.

However, with only 50,000 horses, the Chifeng army was not absolutely sure of defeating the opponent, so they thought of recruiting troops on the spot to see if they could recruit enough soldiers and horses from here to defeat the opponent completely.

Pu Zezhi replied: "That's right. According to the current situation, adding 10,000 horses is the limit. With 60,000 troops, it was impossible to complete the encirclement strategy of Mongolia. ”

"In this case, then we can only retreat and choose to defeat its main force?" Xiao Feng frowned slightly, with a little annoyance.

After all, this is ancient times, and in order to maintain the normal order of production, it is absolutely impossible to achieve full mobilization.

And to keep the army running, it is even more important to ensure that there are enough farmers to clear the fields, enough blacksmiths to build weapons, and enough people to transport supplies.

In this way, the ratio of military to civilian can reach 1:30, which can already be regarded as a reckless force.

As for the hundreds of thousands of troops in the romance, most of them are just empty fingers, and the people who will not participate in the battle are also added to it.

Xiao Feng didn't want to add a burden to the people of Sichuan, who had already been devastated by the war, so naturally he had to expand his troops.

Zeng did stand beside him and listened, but he was also a little ashamed: "I didn't help the lord, and my subordinates were really incompetent." ”

"The people are lonely and devastated by war, and this is what Mongolia has done. In that case, then what are you guilty of?" Xiao Feng shook his head and replied, "And your duty now is nothing more than to stabilize order in the city. Just make sure the city is safe and sound, and that's your credit. ”

Zeng did see that he was praised, and suddenly felt that his cheeks were red, and he immediately straightened up, and replied in a loud voice: "My subordinates will obey the order and will definitely live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Later, seeing that there was nothing to do here, he left under the guidance of the soldiers and returned to the city gate.

At the moment when there is an urgent need for population, Zeng Qu's children must work hard to win more people and restore the glory of this land that was once trampled by Mongolia!

As for the staff department, since Zeng Cheng left, it has been in a busy situation again.

I saw Xiao Feng ask: "If there are only 60,000 soldiers and horses, if you want to completely annihilate the other party, I am afraid that you will have to cooperate with the Song army." Only by completely blocking them can we do everything we can and completely annihilate each other. If that's the case, then what do you think we should do in the future? After all, Meng Ge knew about the movement of our army, and he would definitely not stay in Diaoyu City for a long time. If they leave, what will they do?"

In the tone, it was all sad.

When the rest heard this, they all fell silent.

No matter how Na Meng Ge intends to lead his men to flee and reprimand, it will have devastating consequences for the people along the way.

After all, there are 70,000 elite soldiers under the command of the other party, and such a large number of soldiers must need enough food and all kinds of supplies.

But these materials cannot appear out of thin air, and it is even more impossible to send them from Mongolia, and the only way is to collect them on the spot.

Mongolia has long been familiar with killing two birds with one stone by dispersing a large number of soldiers and invading the territory of the other side, killing civilians on the one hand and fearing the enemy, and on the other hand, by plundering precious grain, grass and other materials to strengthen itself.

It was for this reason that the Jin Dynasty collapsed in the past.

It can be said that since the day of its rise, the Mongol Empire has never been less slaughtering, and as for the so-called benevolence, fraternity, and the name of peace, it is simply a trick to fool all beings, and it is not worth arguing at all.

Just like those TV dramas that praise the invaders in later generations, it is even more absurd and hypocritical to use the so-called Meng Ge to save the orphans and Liang Xiao to help Meng Xiao to destroy the Song Dynasty to promote Mongolian justice.

If one believes in these hypocritical words, but sets aside the shocking slaughter, then this person can be said to be blinded by lard, and there is no basic morality at all!
