"Wait a minute, this member Guo, please don't set the rhythm, please speak with facts. How have we been connected with the blood of the Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty was the Song Dynasty of officials and scholars, not the Song Dynasty of us, who are mud-legged. Yes, we have some brothers and sisters, relatives, etc. stranded in the Song Dynasty, so we can just pick him up to Yizhou. If they don't want to come, we won't force it."

"Also, you said that we have been favored by the Song Dynasty for generations, but how have we ever been favored by the Song Dynasty? All we have been subjected to is endless oppression, heavy taxes and various exploitation. Guo Daxia is very skilled in martial arts, so he has not been exploited. What about the disciples of the Beggars' Sect under your command? Which one is not a good family? He really can't survive and becomes a beggar and join the Beggars' Sect?"

"We have never received the kindness of the Song Dynasty. We can survive by the upbringing of our parents and the hard work of our parents. We can make decisions by Yang Ce. Of course, the Beggars' Sect and Quanzhen Sect have also made a lot of efforts. We also thank them. We even thank Chief Duan Ce. If Chief Duan Ce did not provide military armor in the early stage, we would not be able to subdue the natives, resist foreign aggression, and settle in Yizhou."

"We even thank the local natives because they communicated with us and communicated with each other, but they could not thank the officials of the Song Dynasty. Because the officials of the Song Dynasty and the court not only prevented us from coming to Yizhou, they also tried every means to force us. They did not treat us as human beings, so why did we lick our faces and kneel down?" Someone immediately refuted Guo Jing's emotional card.

Guo Jing was silent for a moment, and there was no way. Most of the people who came to Yizhou were forced to survive. It would be a good thing for them to save the Song Dynasty and not to infer damage.

"But, we can't stand by death and refuse to save us, right? Everyone should understand the principle of losing our lips and cold teeth. Song and Liao, Song and Jin are the lessons of the past. Without the Song Dynasty, we will face the Mongolian Yuan independently." Huang Rong said.

"Manager Huang Ce, you must understand that we are not against assisting the Song Dynasty, but against your remarks. Please do not stand on the commanding heights of morality in a high voice, standing in the sunshine to show your greatness."

"Everyone is equal. In the past, it must have been unequal, but now everyone is equal. Please do not impose your moral concepts on us. The roundtable decision-making meeting is about the matter, not for you to morally kidnap." The person who refuted Guo Jing immediately began to refute Huang Rong.

"Okay, let's stop controversy, just talk about the matter, and don't mix personal emotions and moral factors. Our goal is to protect the people under our own rule, so as to protect their interests and the development of Yizhou as the top priority."

"As for the question of whether or not Mr. Guo Ce said to save the Song Dynasty, we must first understand whether the Song Dynasty needs us to save it? What identities and ways do we save it? What if we are attacked by the Song Dynasty after arriving in the Song Dynasty? Please answer it, Mr. Guo Ce." Yang Lian said.

When Yang Lian opened his mouth, the slightly noisy scene immediately calmed down.

"Of course the Song Dynasty needs to be rescued, and the Song Dynasty is not enough to resist the Mongolian Yuan; of course we have to send troops to help the Song Dynasty defend Xiangyang. As long as Xiangyang is not broken, the Mongolian Yuan will be unable to move forward and can protect half of the Song Dynasty. As for the last question, I think it is too late to curry favor with us, so how can we attack us?" Guo Jing said.

"Okay, Mr. Guo Ce finished his speech. The reason you said was not enough to convince us to send troops. Our troops were all composed of soldiers of the people, a living life, a pillar of the family, and precious ruthlessness, not the number in the eyes of the officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty."

"Manager Guo Ce, you can make a fortune in Yizhou and fill the Song Dynasty with the blood and sweat and flesh of the people of Yizhou. We cannot do this. Even if we do it, we may not get any benefits afterwards. We will end up like the Liangshan people in the era of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and we will end up like the ones who died of rabbits and dogs."

"The officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty will not only not feel guilty, but also be complacent. At most, we will say: Where does the sand sculpture come from, and then we will directly crush our bones and ashes."

"Also, although our Yizhou is small, it is already an independent country in fact, and is essentially an equal relationship with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty officials did not ask for help. We went there rashly, and it had already formed a de facto invasion. How could others sleep soundly beside the bed? The Song Dynasty officials and scholars were willing to let a force like us be behind us?"

"The officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty can do anything like killing Yue Wumu with false things. Wouldn't it be natural to kill us? Let our soldiers die for nothing, and Mr. Guo Ce's consideration is wrong." Yang Lian said.

"We cannot let our soldiers die in vain!" Everyone was in an uproar.

"Are we just sitting there and watching the fall of the Song Dynasty?" Guo Jing couldn't say that Yang Lian was and roared angrily.

"Of course we will not sit idly by and watch the fall of the Song Dynasty. Everyone still understands the principle that the lips and teeth are cold. From a realistic perspective, the longer the Song Dynasty supports it, the more beneficial it is to our Yizhou."

"We don't have to send troops to help the Song Dynasty. Even if we send troops, we must firmly grasp the military power and cannot be dominated by others. Everyone knows the virtues of the officials of the Song Dynasty. They really don't regard the people as human beings. The most we send is to attack along the coastline and use the naval advantage to harass the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry in the coastal areas."

"Waring wars is not only the soldiers, but also the economy, or in essence, wars are people, grain and land. We cannot produce people, nor can we unleash land, but we can produce grain. As long as there is enough food and grass, the Song Dynasty can recruit soldiers and horses to fight against the Mongolian Yuan."

"Of course, we don't give the food and supplies for nothing, we have to exchange it for people." Yang Lian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, the food and grass cannot be given for free, people need to be exchanged." Everyone spoke one after another.

All of the people here are pragmatic people, and they all understand what Yang Lian means. The war is indeed fighting people, land and food. If there are food and grass, there will be land. None of these three things can be lacking.

The so-called real gold and silver are just equivalent exchanges. Putting aside these appearances, there is no practical meaning at all. After all, that thing cannot be eaten or drunk, and it cannot be made into weapons. Gold and silver are not as good as copper, and copper can at least be made into bullets or guns.

Only food and talent are real. If there is food and there are people, they can open up land in Yizhou, develop sustainably, become bigger and stronger, and create new glory.

Guo Jing was stunned when he heard Yang Lian's words.

"Mr. Guo Ce doesn't have to be disappointed. All we can do is this. You know, you know that our troops are only 30,000, and after deducting 20,000 naval divisions, there are only 10,000 people. If these 10,000 people are put into the Mengsong battlefield, I'm afraid that even a wave can't be turned up, and this is meaningless."

"It's better to provide food and grass. The Song Dynasty has a vast land of great resources, outstanding people and countless personnel. I believe that with food and grass, those who are officials will be less greedy, and they will be enough to raise enough young and strong people to defend the city." Yang Lian said.

Guo Jing thought about it carefully and said that these ten thousand people really don’t have much effect unless they are a surprise soldier, but this surprise soldier can only be strange once or twice. It’s better to provide food. There are many people in the Song Dynasty. There are enough food and grass, so people can provide cities with resistance to the Mongolian Yuan.

"How much food and grass should be replaced by another person? How much food and grass should we prepare to produce?" Guo Jing asked in a deep voice.
