"Is the supply of provisions really sufficient?"
Seated on horseback, Chen Sansi's facial features show no obvious fluctuations, but his voice rings out clear and strong, "Chen has travelled all the way here and seen that most parts of Lai State are suffering from famine. Ever since the war started last November, there have been continuous campaigns, and all the food and fodder for each city have been conscripted from the people, leaving them in unspeakable misery!
"Zhao Tong Prefecture, as the second largest granary in Lai State, indeed should have ample provisions, enough to feed eight thousand troops for a year and a half without an issue.
"Yet, General Deng happens to be someone who loves his people as his own children, so the General would surely distribute the city's grains amongst the citizens!
"Hundreds of thousands of citizens, even the provisions of Zhaotong wouldn't be enough, right?"
"Nonsense, don't flatter me with your lies!"
