The essence of mobile warfare is to fight and rob at the same time without any shortage of food.
Once we stop, the supply will be cut off.
Now he has stopped, and every day he eats means one day less of food.
The day when the food supply runs out will be the day when the Dashi Army will be defeated.
"How's the situation in Dingguo?" Zhang Xianzhong looked up and asked.
"The situation in Jingzhou has been stabilized, and the military and civilians have begun to be organized to cultivate land. However, we have to wait until June or July next year before we can produce grain," Liu Wenxiu replied.
