"I guess Pavilion Master Xiao knows that Shaoxing City can no longer be defended, so he wants to persuade you to leave. After all, he really regards you as a friend." Lily Gu speculated.
Ethan Ye smiled, "But I still feel something is wrong. However, the most urgent thing is to think about how to defend the city next. The county magistrate told me before he left that the food stored in the city can only support ten days or half a month at most. If the court fails to suppress the rebels within half a month, I am afraid it will not be able to hold on."
"This is what you are really worried about, husband, right?" Lily Gu said.
Ethan Ye nodded. "Ever since Hangzhou fell, I have been worried that Shaoxing City would fall one day. I thought that I could wait for reinforcements after holding out for two days, but I didn't expect that the arrival of reinforcements would be a long way off. The feeling of not being able to see the end at a glance is really despairing."
"My dear, you are too polite. Although the grain stored in the county government can only barely last for ten days or half a month, don't forget that there are still many wealthy families in the city. As long as those wealthy families are willing to donate their surplus grain and work together, we should be able to hold out for at most a month." Lily Gu said.
