In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Sun Ting won the battle, which was undoubtedly a shocking news. The officials of the surrounding counties saw the opportunity to gain credit, and they expressed their willingness to support the Northwest and Southwest counties, hoping to get a share of the spoils. Of course, this was also because Sun Ting was highly valued by the emperor, and his reputation and status in the court rose rapidly.

Those who were hesitant about sending troops to support the people no longer hesitated. They began to actively prepare supplies and prepare to go to the Northwest Southwest County. Some people have already started to transport food and grass to the Northwest Southwest County, and all the refugees in the west have known the news. The court has begun to distribute food and will resume production! This is exciting news, giving hope to the displaced people.

However, the court had a prerequisite, that is, to let them return to their hometowns. All of a sudden, those refugees rushed to their hometowns, hoping to return to their hometowns as soon as possible and start their lives again.

At the junction of the southwest and northwest counties, Lin Kunlun and his team also foresaw this situation. They knew that this move by the court would attract more people to return to their hometowns, which would be a challenge for them.

"Brother Lin, people have been escaping for a long time! If this continues, everyone will leave! How about I take people to catch those who have escaped? Anyone who dares to escape will be hung on the city gates everywhere!" Sun Ying was very angry at this time. He looked at all the efforts he had made and was about to do something big. However, a notice from the court made many people start to escape!

"There are indeed powerful officials in the court! They know very well that no matter these people are forced to go up the mountain or go to the east to beg and wander, they all want to survive! Now they have taken out food and guaranteed to restore their production! Let these people see the hope of living with dignity! Naturally, many people with weak minds will choose to believe in the court! This is not something that can be solved by killing a few people! And the more you stop them, the more likely they will collectively oppose us! By then, they might even tie us up and take credit!" Lin Kunlun analyzed.

"But don't worry! As long as we can hold on for a few months, those people will soon come to us again! As far as I know, most of the western areas of the court have been hit by disasters! In addition, the northeast is constantly depleting! The court can't collect much food in Jiangnan and other places! There is simply not enough food to feed these disaster victims and to restore production! Just imagine these people going through so much hardship to return to their hometowns! Only to find out that the court had deceived them! What will they do then!" Lin Kunlun was very clear about the situation that the Dakun Dynasty was facing now.

In fact, it is the same as the end of most dynasties. The dynasty's land annexation has reached its peak. Ordinary people have no land to cultivate. They can't survive at all. And the court has all the land in the hands of those literati and scholars! According to the court's laws, they don't need to pay taxes! Then all the taxes are shared by these civilians who have a small amount of land or no land! This is the root cause of the decline of the Dakun Dynasty. This cannot be solved by a notice to appease the people. Unless the person who made this notice can come up with real money and real food, he will not be able to completely solve the situation in the west.

Just when Lin Kunlun was comforting Sun Ying and others, Mu Feng suddenly walked in hurriedly.

"Master Mu, why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Kunlun asked anxiously.

"Three generals! I just received an urgent report from the northwest! Sun Ting, the Minister of War of the Dakun Dynasty, brought a group of elite cavalry, plus the local troops he mobilized from the surrounding areas, and defeated our troops in the northwest! Now he is pressing on step by step! As for our people, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on soon!" Mu Feng said anxiously.

"So what's their current situation?" Lin Kunlun frowned. He didn't expect that the Shangshu sent by the court was so powerful. He immediately knew through a conversation.

Mu Feng just received a pigeon message from the mountain stronghold. He didn't expect that Yuan Quan and his men had already suffered a defeat in the northwest. The most important thing is that Sun Ting didn't let them go. Sun Ting issued a notice that as long as the refugees could report their location, they would be rewarded with food! In this way, they cut off their source of troops! And made the refugees in the northwest the spies of the court. Sun Ting was afraid that Lu Feng would lead the cavalry and the local troops he had gathered to encircle and suppress them. The current situation is precarious.

Not only them, but even those small forces that just occupied the mountains were quickly wiped out or forced to flee by Lu Feng. For a while, in the entire western region, especially in the northwest county, the only powerful rebel force left was Yuan Quan and his group.

"I didn't expect the current situation to be so dangerous! If Sun Ting brings his army to us, we won't be safe either!" To be honest, Lin Kunlun's original plan was to let Yuan Quan and his men make a big fuss in the north, while he and his men would develop in the south. Yuan Quan and his men attracted most of the firepower of the Dakun Dynasty. He should hurry up and train a group of elite soldiers. Then he could take the opportunity to mobilize more people to expand the results of the war!

In fact, in general, they followed the route of Zhu Yuanzhang. Build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne. But if Yuan Quan and his men fail completely, they will have to face Sun Ting's army directly. It is very likely that their horses have already caught Sun Ting's attention!

"What do you think we should do! The current situation is very clear! The Minister of War of the Dakun Dynasty is capable. He first used food to lure these people back to their hometowns! Directly reduced the possible large-scale refugees! Even if we know that the court does not have so much food, others don't know! As long as Sun Ting seizes this period of time, by the time those who return to their hometowns react, he has already dealt with our people!" Lin Kunlun rubbed his head at this time. The sudden situation in the northwest caught him off guard. Although he is a very successful investment businessman in modern society. Yuan Quan and Sun Ying invested as soon as they arrived here! But in general, he still underestimated these ancients. A Minister of War of the Dakun Dynasty was able to disintegrate most of their forces with just a few notices.

"Then what should we do! Should we go south now? Go to the mountainous area in the south! I don't believe they will chase us to the mountains!" Sun Ying said anxiously at this time.

"If that happens, we will never have the chance to go down the mountain! Besides, given the current situation, there is not much food left on the mountain! If the drought continues and the water source on the mountain is cut off, how long can we last!" Lin Kunlun shook his head.

"What should we do? I'm afraid Sun Ting's troops are heading this way!" Sun Ying said anxiously.

"Three generals! I think you should go north! If you can go north and join forces with my young master's troops! We will definitely be able to defeat these imperial armies!"

As soon as Mu Feng's words came out, the dreamer was immediately awakened!

"Are we heading north?" Lin Kunlun asked in confusion.

"Yes!! Although Sun Ting's plan this time is very good and reduces a lot of our resources! But in general, he is just a civil official! Although the 5000 troops he brought from the capital are elite, they will also get tired. We only need to use the complex terrain to defeat 5000 people! The other local troops he recruited are a group of rabble! When the time comes, our two forces can join together and move eastward to those rich areas! There is no need to worry about not establishing some achievements!" Mu Feng. Of course, the main reason for saying this is that he wants Lin Kunlun and others to support Yuan Quan and others.

"What you said makes sense! If we stay here, problems will arise sooner or later! The decision we have to make now is whether to go north or directly east! It might be a better choice for us to go directly from the southwest to the east and then into the Jiangnan region!" Lin Kunlun said at this time.

These analyses of his actually did not come from himself, after all, he did not know much about this world. He learned it through Li Jun. Li Jun's injuries have healed now. Before leaving, he had a deep chat with Lin Kunlun. He also analyzed the possible routes that Lin Kunlun and his team might take in the future. Lin Kunlun thought his analysis made sense. He originally wanted to keep Li Jun as his military advisor. However, in order to save his father, Li Jun decided to leave. Lin Kunlun also understood very well, after all, Li Jun and his team were not ordinary people. After all, many of his father's classmates and teachers were officials in the court. Naturally, he could find people to help them.
