"My Lord, it is my fault for not disciplining you properly."

Guan Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, they are all right."

"If the lives of the people of Bashan and Shu are sacrificed to save the lives of refugees, I cannot accept it either."

Upon hearing this, Nie Nan hesitated to speak and finally sighed heavily.

He is in charge of all matters related to refugee relief, so he knows everything. Now food is really in short supply, and the Phoenix Leaf Chamber of Commerce can't get any food.

Just when the atmosphere was heavy and everyone felt powerless, suddenly, an enchanting figure appeared not far away.

"I have a solution."

Suddenly, everyone looked over.

Guan Ning raised an eyebrow: "Mei Niang, why are you here?"

"any solution?"

Hai Mei came over, wearing a scarlet long dress that was very eye-catching. She was dignified yet charming, and she swayed gracefully as she walked. An ordinary woman would never be able to learn that in her lifetime.

"Just now, I received a message saying that Cangyun County will be transporting a batch of food and fodder. It is the food and fodder that the Xiliang rebels are transporting to the left front."

"The exact amount is unknown, but I think it can solve the immediate problem."

As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Ning's eyes lit up.

"Where is Cangyun County?"

"I have a map!" Someone quickly brought it up.

Guan Ning opened it and everyone gathered together.

"My lord, this is Cangyun County, and this is the area controlled by the Xiliang rebels. It would be very dangerous for us to rush over like this."

Hai Mei frowned: "But this is the only way."

"Although it's in the rebel-controlled area, it's actually not far from Shu. It can be reached in a day."

Guan Ning didn't say anything. He looked at the map carefully and summarized the information he had received in recent days.

He frowned and said, "Cangyun County, we can't go there."

When these words were spoken, everyone was disappointed.

"If I remember correctly, news just came back a day ago that the Xiliang rebels have added another 50,000 troops to guard important locations along the way. One of these locations is Qinghe County, and Qinghe County is only 50 miles away from Cangyun County."

"Let's not even talk about whether the rebels in Cangyun County are easy to deal with. Even if we grab the food, the rebels in Qinghe County will chase us and we won't be able to escape."

"After all, with so much food on us, it's impossible to outrun the enemy cavalry."

Someone suggested: "My lord, let's take a small road. The enemy can't catch up with us, right?"

Guan Ning shook his head: "The marks left by the grain cart wheels are too deep."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly reacted, yes!

"What should I do?"

"We can't just sit here and wait to die without doing anything, right?" Hai Mei's brows were tightly furrowed. She used to be the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult. Although she didn't do all kinds of evil, she was not a saint either.

But since she followed Guan Ning, perhaps influenced by him, she couldn't bear to see those orphans and widows starving to death in the wilderness, and it seemed that her whole person had been sublimated.

Everyone looked at Guan Ning, hoping he could come up with an idea.

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes: "I can't go to Cangyun County, but that doesn't mean I can't rob, nor does it mean I can't go to other places."

"What do you mean?" Nie Nan's eyes lit up as he heard a glimmer of hope.

"Let's not go to the end, let's rob them halfway! Look at this place, it's the only way for the other party to transport food and grass, otherwise it will be a mountain road and the food carts can't pass through." He pointed to a small road called "Feihong Road" on the map.

"This place is quite far from Qinghe County, nearly a hundred miles away. It won't be easy for them to send reinforcements."

"It's still forty or fifty miles away from Cangyun County, but we can infiltrate the two main official roads. When the time comes, we can cut down the big trees on the roadside and place huge rocks there. I think we can hold back the reinforcements for a while."

"After we succeed, we will take the mountain road again and drop all the food down from the nearby mountain. We will also send a group of people to the other side of the mountain to receive the food in advance. This will save us about two hours."

"As for those who remain in the mountains, they should split up into smaller groups and take smaller routes back to Shu. This will minimize the risk of being pursued."

After that, there was silence.

Pairs of eyes pondered, and then exclaimed: "Good idea!"

"My lord is wise!"

“This method works!”

"The enemy will never be able to catch up. They won't even know who stole their food. If they come after us, they can only stare blankly at the cliff!"
