Huo Yinshan had great influence in Mengcheng, so once the order was issued, several towns around Rongcheng immediately stopped trading with Rongcheng. Even if it was just a bushel of rice or a piece of cloth, under the threat of the ban on trade, merchants in other towns did not dare to sell it to people in Rongcheng.
So it was fine in the first few days. But later, things became troublesome. The civilians were fine, but the garrison was already stretched to the limit.
Song Yucheng has been training these days, and the soldiers' physical strength is depleted quickly, so the food and grass are also consumed quickly. Originally, if he had silver, he could go to other towns to buy it, but now, with the ban on business, several sources of purchase have been cut off.
"Master, what should we do now? The food and fodder we have can only support us for a month at most." Rongcheng's quartermaster came to report. Because he was too anxious, a circle of blisters appeared on his mouth. He felt that Rongcheng's life was extremely miserable.
In the past, corrupt officials were rampant in the countryside. Now, Song Yucheng has finally arrived, but he is restrained by Huo Yinshan's grandson. I am afraid that even if I look through all the history books, I will not be able to find a place more miserable than Rongcheng.
