When Cao Qi heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Why is the old general?? Is it so stubborn about Lingxiao City?"

But Yi Shiying smiled, "General, please listen to me. This is not a problem of one city but one city, but Lingxiao City cannot be allowed to go so easily by the Yuan people!"

“Why?”

The old general said: "As you said, it will take a few days to wait for the army to come to the city. If Ling Xiao does not defend and hand in hand for a day, then what will happen if he fails to answer? Do you know?"

Cao Qi frowned and shook his head, "Please tell me clearly by the old general!"

Yi Shiying stared at her old eyes, "He will keep going down the river and reach Diaoyu City within half a month!"

"At that time, if we join the ten thousand horses in Chongqing Prefecture, there will be an army of nearly 300,000 to siege Diaoyu City."

"Although Diaoyu City is profitable and can block the 300,000 army. But what should I do if the 10,000 acres of land outside the city? It will inevitably be destroyed by the war. You have only collected potatoes for one season, which is only enough for a year. What if the Yi Yuan army sieges the city for a long time? The fields in Hezhou are abandoned, Diaoyu City will also face the dilemma of shortage of food."

"It is impossible for Zhang Shuai to not know these things. He didn't say it because he was afraid that I would not leave! But I really can't leave!"

"As long as you drag this autumn, the Yuan army will have to wait for the autumn to come next year if they want to surround Diaoyu City. At that time, the city will have enough food and grass, and even if the fertile fields outside the city are destroyed, it will be fine, and the situation will be completely different!"

"So, I must stay here and give Diaoyu City a breather!"
