Everyone turned their gaze towards Ye Guixue upon hearing his words.
Ye Guixue explained, "These days, my father and elder brother have been gathering food and military supplies. Brother Zhang Yun's men have also been on the same task. Combined, these resources should sustain us for one to two months, enough for us to enact our revenge on Dawei first."
"But after we take our revenge? What will we do when our food supply runs out?" Zhang Yun questioned. "Nanchu has been chaotic for many months, the civil war has severely weakened Nanchu. We've been defending Heiya Pass for days, stubbornly holding the city, suffering heavy losses. Previously, Nanchu's national treasury was full, but now, even if we can gather enough resources for two months, it won't be enough to fight till the end with Dawei, right? To completely defeat Dawei, I hate to be a killjoy here, but aren't we incapable to do so?"
"Indeed, we can't do it, but our goal isn't to defeat Dawei," Ye Guixue explained.
