Zhao Yun was silent... because he didn't know how to answer...
Di Fan quickly changed the subject: "Alright, let's stop talking. Huang Rong, continue talking about the battle report. There's nothing to speculate about. There's nothing to say."
[My great leader Huang Rong, your words are truly heartbreaking...]
[After all, Zhao Yun has joined us now. We're all brothers now. Why should we be so direct?]
[At least you should give the other person some face, right? You're stabbing me in the heart. That's too much! That's too much!]
"Yes, yes, Gang Leader Huang, please tell us quickly about our gains and make us, the roughnecks, happy..."
"That's right, how much treasure is there? Can we divide it up?"
Everyone echoed this, changing the subject. Huang Rong seemed to realize the inappropriateness of her words and quickly scolded them, "There are plenty of treasures, and they all need to improve people's livelihoods. There's no extra to share with you."
"That's right, you didn't even read the rules of the alliance. All captured items must be confiscated! Our army can't even seize a single cent, and you still want to get rich? Are you trying to become a local landlord?"
"Tsk, get on the job!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the awkward atmosphere just now disappeared at this moment...
The meeting continues...
In the following days, the Wulin Alliance was reorganized again.
First, after absorbing 200,000 imperial guards, the Green Forest Army went through screening and officially formed an army of 120,000.
It is divided into three major legions!
The First Army, with Zhong Mingliang as commander-in-chief and Wen Tianxiang as deputy commander-in-chief, launched an attack on Guizhou and Sichuan regions!
The Second Army, with Yue Suo as the commander-in-chief, Lu Xiufu as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Huang Yaoshi as a congenital master, followed the army and marched towards Hunan and Guangzhou!
The Third Army, led by Xiaolongnu herself, led Difan, Guo Jing and others to attack Quanzhou directly along the direction of Jiangxi and Zhejiang!
Among them, Zhao Yun and Dong Songchen were the mobile troops. When they found any stubborn resistance, they would go there in person and persuade the enemy troops to surrender in the name of the former emperor...
Their actions were so swift, like a prairie fire, that in the blink of an eye they captured the provinces and cities of the Southern Song Dynasty. In just one year, combined with investigations and trials, they also achieved their strategic goals, and the three armies attacked to the city of Quanzhou!
Even the military strength has been expanded to around 200,000! And that's even with nearly 300,000 soldiers left behind to guard the cities along the way!
To put it simply, the Wulin Alliance's military strength had already reached 500,000 after a year! Furthermore, countless people were eager to join the newly established bases in various places!
At the foot of Quanzhou City, Xiaolongnu, wearing golden armor, quietly looked at the city wall of Quanzhou City.
Beside him, Zhong Mingliang, Yue Suo, Zhao Yun, Wen Tianxiang and others also shed the immaturity and confusion they had when they first started the rebellion. They all seemed much more mature and confident.
Perhaps, it is also because of the Song Dynasty that this Central Plains land will soon be controlled by them.
"Alliance leader, this is the last city. Let me try."
Zhao Yun stepped forward and asked to personally go into battle to persuade the other side to surrender.
Over the past year, he had used his actions to recapture nearly a million Southern Song troops, proving his words and making everyone in the alliance completely accept him.
Xiao Longnu lowered her head: "Are you sure?"
"Fifty percent sure!"
Zhao Yun looked at the familiar yellow robe, the familiar prince, and the officials on the distant city wall, and said with great confidence.
"Huang Yaoshi, Dong Songchen, protect him and give it a try!"
"Yes, leader!"
Huang Yaoshi and Dong Songchen protected Zhao Yun on the left and right as they walked forward... When they arrived at the foot of the city, where they could see each other and talk, Zhao Yun stopped!
"Father!"
Zhao Xie stared at his adopted father in amazement... He was not Zhao Yun's biological son, but a descendant of the royal family...
"Have you been kidnapped by the rebels? My prince will rescue you right now..."
"My dear, stop struggling and surrender."
Zhao Yun sighed softly…As a high-ranking member of the Wulin Alliance over the past year, he had also learned a lot of martial arts techniques and successfully broke through to the middle stage of the acquired realm. He could use his internal force to amplify his voice so that people on the city walls could hear it.
Of course, what Zhao Xie said was relayed by the eunuchs beside him.
"Why, Father! We haven't lost yet. There are still countless righteous men who care about the Song Dynasty, and there are loyal ministers..."
"Emperor!"
Zhao Yun roared, "It's come to this, don't you see? The Great Song! It's hopeless! Moreover, a year ago, before Lin'an and Chizhou were conquered, I secretly left the city and joined the Wulin Alliance! I personally persuaded Chizhou City to surrender!"
"Father!"
Zhao Xie and even the ministers on the city wall were all stunned!
No one could have imagined that the former emperor, who had left behind a letter and fled the palace a year ago, would actually go to the Wulin Alliance's base and voluntarily surrender to the rebels?!
"Why are you plotting rebellion, Your Majesty?"
Countless ministers wailed as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
They said that although the Song Dynasty was weak, it had been established for more than 300 years... However, now, in just one year, it has conquered six provinces, leaving only the isolated city of Quanzhou... It turned out that the former emperor had a hand in this!
Zhao Xie also had a look of despair on his face. If you wanted to run away, you should have informed me and called me with you... Now, you leave me here alone to accept the fate of a king of a fallen country. If he wasn't your biological son, would you have really been able to do this to me?
"Don't talk too much,"
Zhao Yun followed the army for a year and witnessed the changes in the Central Plains with his own eyes... In just this one year, he saw with his own eyes that the tax revenue of the Wulin Alliance had increased tenfold compared to when he was in power!
I saw with my own eyes that the old farmers in the fields had food stored at home, got married, had children, and had countless sincere smiles on their faces!
