This news is very heavy!
It's not an isolated city, nor is it a hundred-mile radius being swept away, it's the situation itself.
After Gongsun Kang ordered the walls to be fortified and the country to be cleared, there was actually no human habitation within a hundred miles.
But the strong walls, clear wilderness, and uninhabited land are completely different concepts from the Han army's blockade.
In other words, it is difficult for Xiangping City to contact the outside world!
In the worst case scenario, the Han army could quickly capture the entire Liaodong and isolate Xiangping City.
If you drag it on, you will definitely lose!
Even Xuantu County and others could not deliver blood transfusions to Xiangping!
Real isolation.
"Wang Lie, Bei Yan, at present, Xiangping City has become an isolated city. Food, grass, and soldiers are all being consumed. You must be prepared!"
Wang Lie and Bei Yan were silent.
Don't be afraid of being alone in a city. The most terrifying thing is that you will always be alone in a city.
If you continue to be alone, you will eventually become a withered skeleton in the grave!
After a long time, Wang Lie was the first to break the silence.
"Lord Zhou Mu, there is no problem with our food and grass for the time being, right?"
Gongsun Kang nodded and forced a smile.
"That's true. Honshu Mu has already collected almost all of Liaodong's grain and grass, so he doesn't have to worry about food problems for at least three years!"
Wang Lie was not very happy when he heard the news.
Collection, what a nice word!
But Wang Lie knew that almost all of them were robbed by force. They took away everything they could, and even the young men were taken into the city.
Even if this battle can be won, Gongsun Kang's popularity in Liaodong will be completely ruined.
But these are not what Wang Lie is most worried about. What worries him most is that there is so much food and grass in Xiangping City that there is no place to store it, but the two fortresses outside the city don't have much food storage.
To be honest, it would be three months!
If the Han army is surrounded on three sides, the two fortresses will be destroyed in three months!
"Lord Zhou Mu, the Han army has not taken action yet. Are you going to transport a batch of food to the fortress?"
When Beiyan heard this, his ears quietly perked up.
He also had this idea, but he didn't dare to say it.
It couldn't be better to say it through Wang Lie's mouth.
"Transporting food?"
Gongsun Kang's brows tightened and he immediately showed a displeased look.
"General Wang, didn't you just deliver food? Why do you need food?"
Wang Lie was very helpless. He had already guessed that Gongsun Kang was unwilling.
How safe is it to have food in your own hands?
"Master Zhou Mu, the fortress can only provide food for three months at most. If the Han army attacks urgently, it will only last for two months."
"Once the Han army attacks urgently, it will inevitably be besieged on all sides. When the food cannot be transported in, how will the soldiers fight?"
"Eh!"
Gongsun Kang raised his hand and strongly disagreed with Wang Lie's words.
"General Wang is worrying too much!"
"Why did General Bei arrange the situation? Isn't it just to prevent the Han army from siege?"
"If the Han army dares to besiege General Wang, how can General Mu and Bei of Benzhou sit idly by and ignore it? When the time comes, he will definitely relieve the siege personally and defeat the Han army in one fell swoop!"
Well said!
Wang Lie cursed in his heart.
When everything is fine, everything is fine, but if something really happens, who will take care of whom?
Wang Lie felt that when he was surrounded, he would definitely not be able to save him easily!
In the face of a formidable enemy, self-rescue must come first!
"General Bei, what do you think?"
Wang Lie did not refute and directed the question to Bei Yan.
There is more than one fortress, and Wang Lie is definitely not the only one who is besieged. Bei Yan is also likely to face this situation.
In this case, why should Wang Lie himself be the villain?
As a beneficiary, Beiyan also has to share the difficulties.
"this..."
As expected, Bei Yan was very hesitant.
He wanted some food and grass, but he didn't want to offend Gongsun Kang and damage his image.
"General Wang, Master Zhou Mu is right. If the Han army dares to besiege, then... won't there be two other parties to rescue them?"
"Yeah?"
Wang Lie looked sideways at Bei Yan with some disdain.
"General Bei, are you sure? Don't wait until the Han army besieges you and regret it..."
Bei Yan pursed his lips, feeling heavy in his heart.
Why wasn't he worried? He was even more worried after Wang Lie said this.
Everyone is afraid of being 'taken seriously' by the Han army.
"Well... what General Wang said is right... and it makes sense..."
After being recognized by two people in succession, Gongsun Kang's expression was extremely gloomy.
Especially Bei Yan's rebellion caught him off guard.
If it was Wang Lie alone, Gongsun Kang could still refute him verbally, but now he can't.
In fact, it was not that Gongsun Kang was stingy and was reluctant to give food and grass, but that he could not resist endless consumption of the mountains of food and grass.
Three years, only for Xiangping City, not including the two fortresses.
The wanton looting made the treasury full, but it also increased the number of people in the city!
Now, not to mention the 5,000 people in each of the two fortresses, there are nearly 30,000 people in the city!
There are far more than 30,000 people, old, young, women and children.
Under such circumstances, how could Gongsun Kang be willing to hand over a large amount of grain?
If there is food, the people in the city will be stable; if there is no food, they will immediately riot.
At that time, it will be the real end of Gongsun Kang!
Therefore, unless a knife is held to the neck, food will never be handed over easily.
"General Wang, General Bei, it's not that the governor of this state doesn't want to do it, it's just too much trouble."
"What if we are transporting grain over a large area and are robbed by the Han army?"
"In the opinion of Benzhou Mu, it is better to be still than to move at the moment! Let's see how the Han army is doing before we make any calculations."
"If it is determined to be safe, the local animal husbandry will definitely provide sufficient food and grass!"
Beiyan saw that Gongsun Kang was determined not to give up, so he immediately changed his tone.
"Master Zhou Mu is wise and will obey your orders!"
Wang Lie took a look and realized that it was difficult to support a tree alone.
"That being the case, then... let's follow Lord Zhou Mu..."
"Hahaha, okay, okay!"
Gongsun Kang was overjoyed and put on his gentle smile again.
"The two generals are so sensible, so our pastor can rest easy!"
"By the way, there is another news."
