We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 340: Whoever Takes Xiao Moʼs Head Shall Be Enfeoffed as a Marquis of a Thousand Households!

Inside the Yanmen Pass City Lordʼs Manor.

Xiao Mo was taking inventory of the remaining pills, spirit beast flesh and blood, spiritual medicines, grain and fodder, as well as various weapons and armor.

Finally, looking at the various numbers on the white paper, Xiao Moʼs mind carried a hint of gravity.

Spirit beast flesh and blood could replenish blood qi, which was extremely important for soldiers.

Those pills and spiritual medicines had effects like pain relief, stopping bleeding, treating injuries, and even keeping someone alive by a thread.

As for grain and fodder, soldiers who hadnʼt achieved abstinence from food definitely needed to eat every day but the spirit beast flesh and grain fodder only had half a monthʼs supply remaining. The pills and spiritual medicines couldnʼt even sustain a few major battles.

Those weapons and armor were also nearly depleted. If soldiersʼ weapons and armor were damaged, there was only enough for ten thousand men to replace them.

In short, Xiao Mo felt that even if he closed the city gates and didnʼt go out, calculating carefully, he could at most hold out for twenty days.

Not to mention the Zhei Kingdom would attack the city like mad.

”Can we really hold out for a month?”
Xiao Mo didnʼt have much confidence but Xiao Mo knew he had no choice.

Now the supply line to the Zhei Kingdomʼs southern border eleven cities was also cut off. They were also urgently short of various resources.

If he held out, and the Northern Frontier army took the Zhei Kingdomʼs southern border, this great battle would be at least half won but if he couldnʼt hold out, not only would he die on the battlefield, the Northern Frontier men would also sacrifice themselves in vain. Everything done would be wasted, and they might even face a counterattack from the Northern Wei!

”Pass down the order. Starting today, soldiers below Foundation Building realm shall still eat two meals daily, but each mealʼs portion is seventy percent of the original.

Soldiers at Foundation Building realm and above shall each receive one jin of spirit beast flesh per day.

Spirit pills and spiritual medicines must be applied for uniformly by Hundred-Man Commanders.

Xiao Gui, Zhao Guang, you and Yanmen Passʼs Chief Clerk Wang, take people to the homes of wealthy merchants in the city, especially grain merchants. Confiscate all the grain in their homes and record the amounts. Tell them weʼll compensate them at market price after the war.

If they refuse, kill them!

Afterward, open the city granary daily to cook porridge to relieve the citizens. Each person gets one bowl per meal, but I want chopsticks stuck in the pot to not fall over!

Have you all heard clearly what Iʼve said?”

Deputy General Zhao Guang frowned, ”General, in these special times, we donʼt even have enough grain for our army to eat. Should we really relieve the citizens?”

”If the citizens become desperate from hunger, theyʼll riot. If the city falls into chaos, weʼll be in serious trouble,” Xiao Mo glanced at Zhao Guang. ”Just do as I say. I know what Iʼm doing.”

”Yes, General...”

Zhao Guang saluted and went down with Xiao Gui to execute the orders.

If it were an ordinary general, Zhao Guang might have tried to persuade him a few more times but the other party was Xiao Mo.

These past days, Zhao Guang had followed Xiao Mo in and out of battlefields, fighting bloody battles. Not a single decision Xiao Mo made had been wrong.

So Zhao Guang greatly admired Xiao Mo. As long as Xiao Mo decided on something, Zhao Guang would execute it.

And not just Zhao Guang. Xiao Mo had gone through life and death with all the soldiers, with clear rewards and punishments, sharing hardships together. His position in the soldiersʼ hearts was like the Northern Pacification Prince himself.

Soon, Zhao Guang and Xiao Gui led dozens of soldiers to search the homes of wealthy merchants in the city one by one.

When these wealthy merchants saw the Northern Frontier soldier lords arriving, they very sensibly opened their granaries, even expressing they wanted to donate to the Northern Frontier army without needing any compensation but Zhao Guang and Xiao Gui werenʼt fools, especially Xiao Gui.

Although Xiao Gui was from a branch of the Xiao family, he was still a landlord!

So how could Xiao Gui not understand what these old things were thinking?
