"Will this really work? If those guys want to run away, can we stop them?" Zhang Lei's men still didn't believe it.

Zhang Lei said, "You guys are so stubborn! Do you really think the Emperor didn't make any plans? This place originally had hundreds of thousands of residents, but under the Emperor's orders, they evacuated. After the evacuation, this place has become an isolated island. Apart from the warehouses, there's nothing else. Now these guys are trapped on an isolated island, and all their ships have been destroyed by us. Where else can they escape?"

When this guy said this, his face was full of admiration for Zhao Xin, because he now understood what Zhao Xin's operation was.

Even the reactions of these 500 people may have been calculated by His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, although these people are retired, they are still soldiers and will not do nothing so casually.

Moreover, what they can do, although very easy, is also of great significance. Now, it is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of these Ari Empire.

Zhang Lei's men couldn't help but ask, "If these people are trapped on an isolated island, then why are we beating drums and gongs and shouting about killing everywhere? General, please don't be so contradictory. It's hard for us to understand!"

"It's so hard to understand, isn't it?

These guys were trapped on an isolated island, and they didn't actually have much chance of escape.

But this is how people in this world are.

Many times, no matter whether there is hope or not, we will try our best.

This is human nature. You see these guys, they will naturally try to escape.

However, if we beat drums and gongs in this place and pretend that there are many troops around, we can make them feel very alert.

Because they could be attacked at any time, they wouldn't think about running away, but about defending themselves."

This matter is also difficult to understand. After all, there is so much grain in the warehouse and the warehouse is located in a dangerous place.

When many people find themselves ambushed or surrounded, the first thing they think of is to rely on the abundant food and the strategic location to hold on to that place. In this way, their role will naturally come into play.

Half an hour later, the surrounding troops arrived one after another and completely surrounded the place.

After such an encirclement, Gu Hong felt extremely desperate.

He said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone, the young emperor of the Great Qin Empire is indeed not an easy person to deal with.

Those of us who came to steal food ended up not stealing any food and were trapped in this place.

But no matter what, we cannot surrender here.

If they attack us here, we will fight to the last man!"

In fact, Gu Hong had said this once before, but at that time, he was not very confident, so he emphasized it again now.

However, the soldiers around this guy were all very dissatisfied: "General, what's the point of us doing this?

Even if we steal the food and transport it back, we may not be able to get any food ourselves.

Even our wives, children and parents may still continue to go hungry.

I heard that the Great Qin Empire is a country that treats prisoners very well, and perhaps they will treat us a little better."

"Nonsense, the Great Qin Empire is nothing more than a hypocritical and greedy country.

What good can they do for you?

Don't be fooled by the bullshit they promote. Their propaganda is actually just for deceiving people.

If you are fooled by them so easily, then you are a fool."

Neither side actually launched an attack, and each was guessing what the other side would do.

In the imperial palace of the Qin Empire, Zhao Xin finally received the news.

“It’s actually Pu Haicheng.

In that place, our Great Qin Empire only has hundreds of thousands of troops. It may be a bit difficult to surround 300,000 troops!

But they actually succeeded, which is something new.

But the other side doesn't seem to be willing to surrender and is ready to destroy both sides."

Zhao Xin told Wei Wenzhen, who was beside him, the news he had just received.

This guy Wei Wenzhen is already as old as he can be, and he looks like he is in poor health.

But I don’t know what happened to this guy. After retirement, his health suddenly got better again.

Even his originally white hair was slowly turning black.

It looked like a miracle, and the legendary rejuvenation was probably not an exaggeration.

That's why this guy has come to Zhao Xin again and serves as his advisor.

Zhao Xin told the news to his staff officer Wei Wenzhen, wanting to seek this guy's opinion.

Wei Wen Zheng was different from other ministers. He was very bad at fighting and had no idea how to fight.

But this guy still has a lot of theoretical knowledge.

The most important thing is that this guy is really smart. Many times, he gave Zhao Xin a lot of ideas.

Wei Wenzheng said, "Your Majesty, we actually guessed it right. They actually came to steal the grain.

That only shows me one thing, that is, the Are Empire is about to cease to function.

As long as we strictly control food, even if we don't become their enemy, they will probably collapse soon."

Zhao Xin said, "They came to steal food, but we didn't give them any.

This was a very troublesome thing for them.

But don't forget that if this is the case, then they may be able to turn their army into a miserable army through certain operations.

As the saying goes, an army in despair will surely win. If their hungry army launches an absolute attack on us, it will be a huge loss for our Great Qin Empire.

I don’t want to do that.”

As an emperor, Zhao Xin now feels that he really needs to use his brain for everything, and find ways to make the people of the Qin Empire gain more benefits.

Now, in fact, only he, the emperor, can truly be together with all the people.

After all, apart from him, the emperor, most of the others were just pursuing personal gain for their own families.

The only people he could truly rely on as an emperor were his people.
