"Well, I'll prepare the medicine for you tomorrow. But Liangcheng has already been attacked by the enemy. How do you plan to break out?"

If Qin Yuezhao delays any longer, she will soon be besieged by the three kingdoms and die.

Not only will she die, but the 100,000 people of Liangcheng, as well as the people of more than a dozen counties around Liangcheng, will suffer terribly, the country will be destroyed, and corpses will be scattered everywhere.

Chu Xiao didn't want her to die, and he didn't want so many people to die tragically.

Qin Yuezhao didn't want to either.

She told Chu Xiao, "I have started recruiting soldiers and sent someone to inform the general of Nancheng, who is a hundred miles away. He has 100,000 soldiers under his command."

With 100,000 troops plus 50,000 Huo family troops from Liangcheng, that's 150,000 against 300,000.

With the divine artifact bestowed upon her by the gods, she was confident.

But Chu Xiao asked, "What if reinforcements don't arrive? Or what if the enemy force exceeds 300,000?"

Qin Yue Zhao asked doubtfully, "I have already gone to invite General Nancheng. As long as I tell him that Liangcheng has grain, General Nancheng loves the people like his own children and his soldiers like his own family. He will surely come."

Chu Xiao: "What if reinforcements arrive, but the enemy also has reinforcements from other countries? For example, what if the Northern Barbarians and Great Wei and Great Liang join forces? How many soldiers does Great Wei have, and how many soldiers does Great Liang have?"

Qin Yue Zhao was stunned for a long time after seeing this message.

"The Northern Barbarians and the Great Gan border each other. The Great Wei is located to the north of the Northern Barbarians, and the Great Liang is located to the south of the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians and the Great Wei have fought a major war over border grasslands and water resources."

"The Great Liang Kingdom is the weakest of the nine kingdoms, and it has always coexisted peacefully with its neighboring countries without any disputes. The gods say that these three countries will join forces to attack Great Liang?"

She sent this message to the gods, but quickly realized what she had done.

"What the gods say is very true. The world is suffering from a severe drought. As long as news of Liangcheng having grain spreads, not only these three countries, but other countries may come to attack."

"But Yue Zhao also has a way. There are other wealthy and noble families in the city, and I can recruit them all into the army."

"However, they instigated conflict between Daliang and the Northern Barbarians, and used grain as bait to win over Daliang as an ally."

"If General Nan can really come to our aid, I will use grain as bait to get them to help recruit soldiers from the surrounding areas and bring them to Liangcheng together."

After saying a few words, Chu Xiao was astonished.

Because that was what he thought too, and he didn't expect Qin Yuezhao to have the same idea.

But he countered with, "What if the King of Liang doesn't agree?"

Qin Yue Zhao smiled confidently.

"As a princess of the Great Gan Kingdom and a goddess of destiny, this alone is enough to make the rulers of other countries wary. Now that the news of my divine intervention to obtain food has spread, it is enough to prove my ability."

"As long as I write to Liang and inform them that the people will be well-fed and watered and the country will live in peace and prosperity after the alliance is formed, the ruler of Liang will surely be moved."

"Then I told him that the food bestowed by the gods is limited, and if he joins forces with the Northern Barbarians and the Great Wei, the amount of food he receives will be very small. He will definitely weigh the pros and cons."

Human nature is inherently greedy. Given the scarcity of resources and the abundance of wolves, the ruler of Liang naturally did not want Wei and the Northern Barbarians to share the grain.

Hearing her well-reasoned analysis, Chu Xiao nodded.

"As expected of a princess, amazing!"

Qin Yue Zhao continued, "But all of this is predicated on the gods being willing to lend Yue Zhao a hand!"

"Yuezhao needs more weapons: greatswords and armor made of fine steel, bows and arrows, cotton-padded clothes, and shoes."

"Yue Zhao will not ask for it empty-handed; she will offer exquisite gifts in return, and ask the gods to grant her request."

Chu Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh.

"To be honest, I'm not some kind of god. I'm just a corporate slave living in the 21st century."

Qin Yue Zhao was somewhat puzzled when she heard him say such things:

"May I ask the gods, what is a century, and what is a corporate slave?"

Chu Xiao explained, "It's just an ordinary young person living in 2023. If you don't believe me, I'll take a picture and show it to you."
