Chapter 715 Fighting to the End
Civil strife broke out completely in the Kingdom of Shu, and refugees from all over the country fled for their lives. Many fled to the neighboring countries, and a large number of refugees also poured into the royal capital.

The problem now is that these refugees have nothing to eat at all. Princess Furong cannot bear to let these refugees starve to death, and she must use the remaining food to save people.

Of course, Lu Hao would not refute her face, but no matter how high his martial arts skills were or how powerful his soul power was, he could not produce food!

"You are going to solve it? How to solve it? So many refugees need to eat every day, can you still conjure food?"

Princess Heshuo scoffed.

"Don't be anxious. Didn't I ask General Wu to gather food immediately?"

Lu Hao looked bitter.

"It will take at least a week to get from the border, even if we go non-stop. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on until that time."

"If the Jin State can transport a batch of grain, it may be able to solve the urgent need."

Princess Heshuo pondered.

"Sister, I just heard from the refugees that there was also civil strife in Jin..."

Princess Furong never thought of this until now.

"What? Civil unrest?"

Princess Heshuo was shocked.

"Don't worry, sister. It's just a refugee who said it. I don't know whether it is true or not. If something really happens, your father and queen will definitely send someone to inform you."

Princess Furong comforted her.

"Your Majesty, I want to go back and have a look."

Princess Heshuo was a little anxious.

At this moment, General Zou slowly walked in with a Jin man.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Jin Kingdom wants to see Princess Heshuo."

"Yuanshan, why are you here?"

Princess Heshuo recognized the person at a glance.

"Princess Qi, civil strife has broken out in various parts of the Jin Kingdom. The king asked me to tell you to stay in Shu for the time being. However, when my subordinates arrived in Shu, they realized that there was also chaos here, and they didn't know what to do. "

Wang Yuanshan said loudly.

"How could there be civil strife in Jin? Where are the king and queen? How are they now?"

Princess Heshuo was extremely anxious and asked quickly.

"It's the Zhou Dynasty that is behind this. The king is holding on to the capital, and he probably won't be able to hold on for long..."

Wang Yuanshan is reported by Shihui.

"What? It's the Zhou Dynasty again? Doesn't even our Jin country let go? No, I want to go back to see my father and queen."

Princess Heshuo was very angry.

"Princess, my subordinates are all refugees along the way, and many refugees have turned into bandits. They kill and rob everyone they see. It's safer for you to stay here."

Wang Yuanshan said loudly.

"But, I am worried about my father and queen..."

Princess Heshuo was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

"Princess Heshuo, you don't have to worry. The capital of the Jin Kingdom is the same as the capital of the Shu Kingdom. It is built on the mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if civil strife breaks out in various places, it will be difficult to conquer the capital."

Lu Hao comforted.

"The king also said that if you stay in Shu, it will not be easy for the king to conquer it."

Wang Yuanshan also advised.

"Sister, please stay here for now, I will protect you!"

Princess Furong hugged Princess Heshuo and forced out a smile, which was uglier than crying. "Sister, the Zhou Dynasty is too cruel. Even if we don't sign a contract with the Chinese Empire, they will annex our two countries."

Princess Heshuo sees it clearly.

"The Zhou Dynasty has been laying out its plans for so long, so naturally it will not allow us to get support from the Chinese Empire. If we wait until we are relieved, it will be difficult for them to carve us up."

"The Zhou Dynasty is our common enemy. We must fight against them to the end! Avenge our father and mother!"

When Princess Furong said the last words, her tears couldn't stop streaming down her face.

"Sister, don't cry!"

Princess Heshuo also started crying.

The two sisters hugged each other, like brothers in distress, and burst into tears.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you take revenge and destroy the Zhou Dynasty!"

Lu Hao's voice sounded.

The two sisters stopped crying at the same time and fell to their knees.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking the decision for our sisters! Thank you, Your Majesty, for avenging our sisters!"

Lu Hao quickly helped the two sisters up, took them into his arms, and said domineeringly: "You are my women, I will definitely help you get revenge!"

Two weak women, in this troubled world, they can only hope that Lu Hao will help them take revenge.

For a small dynasty like Shu, the number of people in the royal capital is less than 50, and the royal city guards are about 2, and there are [-] imperial guards.

After General Shen was killed, many rebel royal city guards and imperial guards fled here, leaving less than 5000 troops.

However, Jindu City is built on a mountain and is a solid city. If you want to capture this city, you will need at least ten times more troops, or even more.

Princess Furong organized the remaining defeated soldiers and prepared to participate in the next battle to defend the royal capital.

Lu Hao personally climbed up the tower and felt a headache when he saw the refugees swarming in from all directions.

With so many refugees, the royal capital, which originally had two months of food, might not be able to hold on for seven days.

Lu Hao's scalp felt numb as he looked at the layers of mountains.

It is really difficult to transport supplies in such mountainous areas, and General Wu also has to pass through the chaotic Jin territory.

If those exposed local armed forces or civilians who became rogue bandits saw the food delivered by General Wu, wouldn't they snatch it?
Although Lu Hao asked General Wu to bring more people to escort him, even if he successfully arrived here, he would probably lose many troops and suffer heavy casualties.

If he didn't send supplies, he would have to give up the royal capital and lose an opportunity to open the door to the Western Region.

To the west of the Shu Kingdom is the real Western Region, and the king of Shu is like a door to the Western Region.

Once this door was opened by Lu Hao, he was not prepared to close it.

Fortunately, in this mission, Lu Hao specially arranged for members of the Meiyue clan to conduct interrogations. Otherwise, he would have no backup at all, and he would be doomed.

Lu Hao believes that in the next two days, Jin and Shu will be in the most chaos, and the situation will become more serious.

As he was stationed at Jindu City, the capital of the Shu Kingdom, he would naturally face numerous attackers. He estimated that the first one to arrive would be Zhou Lifeng.

After all, he was the one planning this matter from the beginning to the end. He would definitely get the news in advance, and he would be the first to attack Jindu City.

Unfortunately, Lu Hao thought wrong, and Zhou Lifeng was busy taking over other cities in Shu.

It was not until noon the next day that the forward generals of the Zhou Dynasty arrived at Jindu City.

"Your Majesty, the vanguard of the Zhou Dynasty has arrived at the west gate."

General Zou came to report.

"Are you here? Let's go take a look."

Lu Hao was not in a hurry and walked out slowly.

Soon, a carriage stopped at the west gate, and Lu Hao, accompanied by General Zou and the two princesses, came to the city wall.
