After saying that.

Xing Shi and Zhang Jian knelt on the ground with their fists clasped.

"I beg Your Highness to give the order!"

Zhongshan State had enough food reserves, but now the pollution outside was serious and the weather was bad, making it impossible to farm.

Everyone understood that eating less food would mean less food, so several military camp commanders initially agreed to distribute food on a daily basis.

But recently the rations have suddenly decreased, and the only meal of military rations is just a handful of soybeans.

As for the water source, after experiencing several waves of monster attacks and the fact that the troops sent out to suppress the rebels never returned, Yuan Saburo no longer allowed the troops to leave Zhongren County and only sent some surviving civilians out to search for it.

The people were afraid of the monsters outside and did not dare to go far. The little water they found nearby was only enough to maintain the water supply of the royal palace.

The troops under them were given only a few buckets of water per camp every day, and the water was muddy and dirty.

As a general, Xing Shi really didn't want his soldiers to starve every day and have a hard time surviving. The soldiers not only had to clear out the monsters, but also had to guard the city gates, so he took the risk to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Yuan Sanlang was the only one left in the lineage of the King of Zhongshan. He wanted to persuade his master to be a wise ruler, pacify the soldiers, integrate the army, clean up the Zhongshan Kingdom, and recover the lost territory.

Yuan Sanlang's expression suddenly turned cold. He sat up straight, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly, "Why? General Xing is dissatisfied with my decision?"

Yuan Sanlang was a concubine's son in his previous life, of low status, and was not favored by the former King of Zhongshan. Once he came to power, he would not tolerate any disobedience and would not allow anyone to challenge his authority.

The generals under him knew the situation, and no one dared to bring bad luck upon themselves.

Only Xing Shi is stubborn and still hopes to restore order, relieve the prince's worries and make him a saint.
