The distance from Guangning to Jinzhou is not short!
In addition, the icy and snowy landscape slowed down their progress.
During this long march, the Liaodong garrison suffered countless attacks.
Faced with such an attack, the Liaodong garrison had reached its limit of tolerance.
However, even though the Liaodong garrison launched several counterattacks, the Shenwei Army did not engage in direct conflict with them.
When the enemy retaliated, he turned and ran.
When the enemy advances, follow closely behind and seize the opportunity to bite them when they are off guard.
This tactic lasted for five or six days.
The entire Liaodong garrison has already lost three to four thousand men.
More than a thousand of them, unable to endure it any longer, surrendered directly to the Divine Might Army.
On the seventh day, the Liaodong garrison finally arrived at Jinzhou City.
Once inside Jinzhou city, the Liaodong garrison finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Li Delu seemed much more relaxed.
However, little did he know that the real difficulties were yet to come!
The Prefectural Government Office of Jinzhou.
"What?"
When Li Delu heard the words of the Jinzhou garrison commander, his face turned somewhat ugly. "You said that the grain in Jinzhou City is only enough for us to last for half a month?"
How is that possible?
Why has the grain supply in Jinzhou become so dwindling?
"General, please calm down!"
The Jinzhou garrison commander quickly explained, "Since the fall of Liaodong before the New Year, the grain and provisions from various places have gradually decreased."
Moreover, soldiers of Prince Xin's army were roaming near Jinzhou City, attacking grain transport convoys.
The loss of food supplies was severe, and the soldiers and horses in the city had also suffered heavy losses during this period.
Therefore, there wasn't much food left in Jinzhou City.
"Damn it! You idiot!"
Li Delu kicked the guard directly.
He had originally thought that the situation would improve after the retreat from the Guangning front to Jinzhou.
However, Li Delu never expected that the grain supplies in Jinzhou were also scarce, only enough to last them for half a month.
Only half a month?
Li Delu was both amused and exasperated.
What will they do two weeks later?
Do we still have to leave the city to face the harassment of Prince Xin's army?
For a moment, Li Delu couldn't come up with a good solution.
"Alright, let the brothers have a good meal first."
Li Delu sighed and said, "It's been a long time since I've had a proper meal on this journey."
Let the brothers rest for a while.
As for these things, let's talk about them later!
After eating, Li Delu lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The march had been exhausting, and they were already quite worn out from facing the attack by Prince Xin's army.
As for the things that are giving him a headache, he can think about them later!
...
After the Liaodong garrison entered Jinzhou City, Wei Jun, Zhang Cheng, and others also met up outside Jinzhou City.
"Old Zhang, it's been a long time!"
Wei Jun quickly went to greet them and said, "You've had a good haul here in Jinzhou City!"
"Hehe, it's not bad!"
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "From before the Lunar New Year until now, we have cut off three main grain routes outside Jinzhou City."
Our Divine Might Army has also harvested a large amount of grain and fodder, more than we can eat!
A while ago, we even sent some grain supplies to Yuguan City!
"Yes, well done!"
Wei Jun gave a thumbs up in satisfaction.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "After you cut off the grain supply to Jinzhou and seized the grain, there must not be much grain left in Jinzhou."
Once these Liaodong garrison troops entered Jinzhou, their massive strength would become the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Once the food supplies in Jinzhou City are exhausted, they will have to go out of the city again to find more.
Our opportunity has come again!
Old Zhang, we should take this opportunity to prepare properly!
Once they leave the city, they must not be allowed to live!
"Of course!"
Zhang Cheng nodded, looked at Wei Jun, and asked, "General Wei, what are you planning to do?"
“I have an idea,”
Wei Jun chuckled and said, "I learned this from His Highness!"
"What idea?"
Zhang Cheng stared at Wei Jun and asked, "Tell me about it."
"Old Zhang,"
Wei Jun continued, "Didn't we intercept a large amount of grain and fodder?"
Anyway, we can't finish it all. Besides transporting some to Yuguan City, we'll keep some grain and distribute it free of charge to the villagers who have already formed militia teams.
"Distribute it to the people?"
Zhang Cheng had some doubts.
"Yes, distribute it to the people!"
Wei Jun chuckled and continued, "With food in hand, the people will trust and support Dongning even more, and they will remember Dongning's good deeds!"
"This is indeed a good way to win people's hearts!"
Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "But what if the Liaodong garrison comes out of the city and seizes all this grain?"
"This is exactly the situation I wanted!"
Wei Jun smiled mysteriously and continued, "Imagine the Liaodong garrison in Jinzhou City going out of the city, looting villages, and taking away all this grain."
The people, having gained and then lost, must have harbored great resentment towards the Liaodong garrison.
However, due to the large number and strength of the Liaodong garrison, they dared not speak out against their anger.
At this time, we harassed the Liaodong garrison with guerrilla warfare and then taught the village militia guerrilla tactics. In this way, we mobilized the vast majority of people to stand with us and resist the Liaodong garrison!
