The Jin court panicked.

Combined with the rumors from outside and the people who continued to pour into the city, the intentions of the coalition forces were already coming out.

Refuse to let the people into the city!

The Jin court issued a decree, while refusing outsiders to enter the city, it also ordered the officials along the way to picket those people who were migrating in the direction of Jincheng and block them.

Even so, when Caoyun was cut off, the huge Jincheng was difficult to maintain.

If nothing else, let's talk about coal, which is a big problem.

After all, the mountains and forests around Jincheng are limited, so the big families in the city burn charcoal, and the briquettes burned by ordinary people, when the transportation is cut off, not only the rice and grain are cut off, but also the briquettes, which are fire-making things, are also cut off.

There are also oil, salt and other materials, and some basic daily necessities, which cannot be supplied normally.

For a time, the prices of various materials in Jincheng soared, and ordinary people poured into the streets to buy all kinds of materials and hoard them at home.

Seeing that the city was in a mess, the imperial court had no choice but to urgently release the grain and grass and other materials hoarded in Taicang for private deployment, and at the same time stepped up the purchase of excess grain and grass from the surrounding cities.

Rao is like this, and a series of controls are also a drop in the bucket.

After a few days of hard work, the ratio of various materials was out of balance again.

Outside the city, there are complaints.

The hearts of the people who were blocked out of the city were cold.

The chilling thing is not that the coalition forces are calling, but this practice of the imperial court.

After all, wars between countries have always been cruel, you fight me, I fight you, and attacking each other is the norm.

The imperial court's approach is so wrong, it is even worse than the invading coalition army!

On the way from Zhongdu River to Jincheng, the people complained, and the people who were stopped scolded one after another, and even clashed with the local government.

At this time, the coalition forces once again changed their strategy, focusing on attacking the government along the way, and opening a way for the fleeing victims.

At the end of June, the coalition army was only a hundred miles away from Jincheng!

On the other hand, the army of the Jin Kingdom, the army under the command of Hua Wenqi was transferred several times, and nearly one million reinforcements were still in the middle, thousands of miles away from Jincheng, and the army had countless baggage, plus the escort of grain and grass, etc., the marching speed was extremely slow, and it was impossible to successfully arrive within a month.

Jincheng, a prosperous city with a history of 400 years, is also the first major city that has accompanied the rise and fall of the Jin Kingdom for hundreds of years, and has encountered the biggest crisis in history.

By this time, millions of people had gathered in the city.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance did not come to the city, because no matter what, Jincheng, as the capital of a country, the garrison around it should not be underestimated, and there were more than 300,000 permanent forbidden troops alone.

In addition, since the beginning of this month, the army of King Qin has been rushing from the surrounding area, and the garrison force around Jincheng has been no less than 600,000.

An army of 600,000 troops, in the case of defense, is enough to be evenly matched with the coalition forces.

"Generalissimo, how long will the army besiege the city before it can attack?"

On the hillside, Wan Xi walked to Zhu Xi's side and asked while looking at the continuous camp.

"With Jincheng's material reserves, ten days at most. This is not only grain and grass, but also includes broken promises and firewood, as an emperor of a country, every inch of land is expensive, but there are not many large warehouses to store, millions of people plus the nearly 600,000 army, the daily consumption is a very terrifying number, by no means a city can afford it. ”

"When does the generalissimo think we will be able to end this war?"

"The end?" Zhu Xi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, now the people in Jincheng are panicking, I heard that many people have starved to death, maybe it is a big opportunity for us, maybe even if we capture Jincheng, we can't occupy it for a long time." ”

"Oh?"

"The army of the King of Qin from all walks of life has already moved, and some of the government soldiers in the north have also been mobilized, and when the time comes, millions of troops will be outflanked, can we still defend it?" Zhu Xi shook his head and said: "The Jin Kingdom is the overlord after all, with a profound heritage, we have fought all the way to the present, and we are already sleepy and lacking horses, except for the people and horses reserved along the way, the army is already less than 800,000, and the advantage is not big." ”

Wan Xi nodded and said, "I have also noticed this problem, but what I am most worried about is the attitude of the Jin Imperial Court." Although our coalition army is close to the city, but after all, it is impossible to besiege Jincheng, so if the emperor of Jin wants to give up this imperial capital to break through, we will not be able to resist it. ”

Zhu Xi looked into the distance and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he finally said: "Our army is short of food and grass, and there is no way to replenish the troops, if there is no hope of winning within half a month, let's consider withdrawing the army." ”

Withdrawal?

Withdrawal!

Wan Xi was shocked at first, and then seemed to understand something, and nodded.

Indeed, if you don't withdraw your troops, you'll be dragged to death here.

The Jin State is a local war, and the country is rich, and there is a lot of surplus food, so when facing foreign enemies, there is no choice, and it will definitely be consumed forever.

But what about the coalition forces?

The army has been pushed for hundreds of miles, and it is already far away from Yishuicang, and when the grain in Yishuicang is eaten up, the 800,000 army is waiting to run for three meals a day.

Don't say anything about the Qilin Army and the Blue Dragon Army, if you can't eat enough, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they will be finished.

The 200,000 Qilin Army also has to be folded here.

……

The Emperor of Jin has been very irritable these days.

It's already the eighth day, and Jincheng is about to be unable to hold on.

was beaten to the doorstep by a few countries that they despise on weekdays, and even his dragon chair was about to be overturned further, what a shame is this for the overlord of a country?

The point is, after so many days, there is still no news from the national teacher.

Could it be that even the national teacher has no choice?

In the past few days, he went to Houyuan every day to report the current situation to the national teacher, but every time he waited, he was disappointed, and he couldn't enter the national teacher's cave, so he could only do it outside in a hurry.

He has already decided that if today passes and there is no news, he will consider releasing Xun Wu from the prison, taking advantage of the advantages and disadvantages between the enemy and us, to have a roundabout tactic, and he will definitely be able to drag the army of King Qin to help.

Leaving a few chamberlains outside, he entered the island in a small boat as usual.

After he explained the situation in the court today, there was still no sound in the cave.

Just when he thought that today would be as normal as nothing, a voice came from the cave that had not sounded for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the old man for being rude, I have been communicating with Providence for the past few days, and I can't communicate with Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, what the national teacher said, as long as there is a way, I will forgive you for your innocence!" The Emperor of Jin laughed and said, "I am standing here, what countermeasures does the national teacher have, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
