Wang Dun tangled the soldiers and horses, the original intention was to concentrate his forces and fight with Chen Zhi's Xuanjia army, it can be said that he fought against the water, but the expected decisive battle did not happen at all, but the surrounding counties were uprooted one by one.

It's like a person who closes his fists and intends to attack with all his might, but just luckily has his strength, and when he looks up, he finds that there is no one on the other side, but the other party has a group of people who are farther away, and they have surrounded themselves.

This feeling of being empty is really too uncomfortable, and it has brought a series of serious consequences.

The four corners of the world were all obtained by Xuanjia, in this case, don't say that Wang Dun was panicked in his heart, and his subordinates were also panicked one by one, but there was nothing to be done.

Even those families and Jiangzuo court forces who were coerced to bow their heads also realized that something was wrong one by one, and there was an indescribable sense of urgency-

Because they suddenly realized that if the situation was as usual, as in the past, and Jiang Zuo was under the control of the Han family, then if the Chen clan wanted to attack this southern land, there was first one of the most difficult problems that could not be crossed-

Birthright.

Maybe if you force the attack, the combat power of the Xuanjia Army is also invincible, and you will definitely be able to defeat Jiangnan, but if the name is not right, it will not be good, and in the end, the hearts of the people below will be different, and many problems will arise out of thin air in the follow-up governance.

As a result, now that Wang Dun is making such a fuss, theoretically the land south of the Yangtze River has been out of chaos, so Xuanjia marched and found a reasonable excuse, either to comment on the chaos or to town the city.

And those cities either dare not fight against the Xuanjia army, or simply take refuge, many of the city's city guards and their families, even a few years ago, and the north of the secret communication song, at this time the opportunity comes, often the Xuanjia army has not yet come, their own flag has been changed, standing at the head of the city to meet.

As a result, in just over two months, the situation in the entire south has taken on a completely new look.

With the change of banners one by one, the Jiangzuo court, or Wang Dun's soldiers and horses, can control and use fewer and fewer resources, and even many problems that were not discovered and paid attention to by him have emerged one by one, becoming a headache.

One of the keys is that without the support of the surrounding counties, many functions and functions of the capital city of Jiankang as the capital are gradually limited to paralysis-

You know, in this era, the population that the land can support, in fact, is not much, Jiankang as the capital, after decades of development, before the Xuanwu Northern Expedition, here as the national capital, has been built very perfectly.

After Xuanwu moved the capital, the importance of Jiangzuo Jiankang has decreased, but compared with other cities, it is still taken care of.

As a result, the city's permanent population far exceeds that of other cities, and the city's population is often proportional to its influence.

In such a city, of course, the major families in Jiangzuo have their own tentacles or power bases arranged in it, and many families have gradually turned this place into one of the base camps after several generations of operation.

On weekdays, it is not enough to support such a huge population, coupled with the garrisons inside and outside the city, simply relying on the surrounding land, and relying on the counties and towns all over the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain and grass to provide for it.

The water system in the south of the Yangtze River is well developed, and there are large rivers as the basis, and the transportation cost is relatively small, so it can support the population that exceeds the original capacity of the city.

But now the situation is completely different, with the Xuanjia army occupying the towns in other places, even if it can't exercise effective jurisdiction, but at least it can cut off these realities and support for Jiankang.

In the end, panic gradually occurred in the city of Jiankang, because this huge population, even if it used the grain reserves in the city, it was not enough at all.

The key is that Wang Dun had concentrated most of his troops in order to fight a decisive battle.

The number of soldiers and horses is combat effectiveness in wartime, but it can be simply crowded in a city, and people eat and chew horses, and they are consumed all the time.

The population, which is already beyond the capacity of the city, coupled with a large number of soldiers and horses, is surrounded by siege and cut off supplies, and the most direct reaction is that everyone is desperately trying to survive.

Food, whether it is a family, or a commoner, whether it is a nobleman or a soldier, cannot be avoided.

And as the days passed, it must be getting closer and closer to the time when the grain and grass were exhausted, although Wang Dun was reluctant to announce the total grain and grass reserves, but many people in the city, as bureaucrats, could still get in touch with some insiders, plus people deliberately spread it, so soon there was news that the grain had been less than a month in the city.

The news spread quickly as if it had grown legs, and soon became known all over the city.

"Arrest me right now! Don't care about their identities, but anyone who spreads the news in everything, all of them will be arrested, and none of them will be spared! ”

After Wang Dun learned the news, he was quite calm, did not fall into chaos, but gave a clear order, but judging from the content of the order, there were already staff members who realized that their lord might have reached the point of desperation, and he didn't care about anything else.

Sure enough, the next development confirmed this speculation.

The spread of the news was uncontrollable at all, and the arrest of more people caused greater panic, but if people were not arrested, the situation would become more and more difficult to control.

In the end, even the soldiers who captured people had a lot of complaints.

The news was fed back to Wang Dun's table, but he lost his mind and finally sighed.

"In the end, it was calculated," Wang Dun sat down weakly, "In this situation, I am simply defeated and invincible, I can't even ask for a battle, and in the end I will be trapped here for life and death, he Chen doesn't need to do anything at all, as long as this situation is maintained, or less than a month, looking at the situation in the city, I'm afraid that in just a few days, Jiankang will be in chaos." ”

At present, this dead knot cannot be overcome by resourcefulness at all, because it is the absolute strength of the Xuanjia Army that creates all this.

"But even so, if you want me to admit defeat and surrender, don't even think about it!"

Just as Wang Dun was thinking like this, suddenly several pieces of news came over in a row-

"Chen's soldiers and horses have begun to approach Jiankang!"

This sudden news surprised Wang Dun, and he didn't understand what Chen Zhi's move meant when he was clearly winning.

But before he could think about it, another piece of news made him sit still for a moment-

"There is chaos in the palace, it seems that there are thieves who are trying to kill the saint!"

After getting the news, Wang Dun didn't care about the analysis, and immediately sent someone over to investigate the news in the palace, and finally he was not at ease, so he simply chased after him with someone.
