"That's true. The Qin Army granaries near Gui Xiang have already been burned by me until not a single grain is left. There are some villagers nearby, but that bit of food is nowhere near enough to feed tens of thousands. For this great war, large amounts of grain have been requisitioned from all over Chu Territory, and I'm afraid it can't be sent here in a short time. If we want provisions, I'm afraid we can only fight our way into Sichuan. Chengdu does have quite a lot of grain." Shangguan Jian understood Ye Shikai's situation; how to deal with these seventy to eighty thousand Qin troops was indeed a headache.
"Our army has won a major victory, and the Qin Army in Sichuan has already been reduced to almost nothing, but Chengdu is thousands of li from here. Even if we march day and night, we still won't get there in less than a month." Ye Shikai let out a bitter sigh. He had racked his brains and still could not think of how to gather so much food.
