Bab 392: Managing Six Thousand People (1)

Emperor Yan wanted to eliminate the Nangong army by cutting off their food supply and forcing them to submit.

Unfortunately, it was not that easy.

Lin Xiaoyue thought of something.

"Then, how's the army now?" She asked Li Xiao.

"Not good." Li Xiao sighed.

"Emperor Yan investigated the Nangong assets. Although most of them escaped, too much was lost. The remaining assets could no longer support those at the border."

"The expenditure of nearly six thousand troops at the border is not small even if we don't pay them."

Fortunately, the Nangong army did not leave the city to fight and only defended the border.

The loss of weapons and armor was reduced, and the biggest expenditure was only on the food for the soldiers and horses.

But even so, he could not hold on much longer.

Emperor Yan was now certain that the army had no one to support them and was almost out of food. That was why he allowed them to exist.
