"Dalun Ruozan?&8221;
Wang Chong was inwardly shocked It had been quite a few days since he had last seen the Ü-Tsang Great Minister There was a saying that went, ‘Visitors do not coood intentions do not visit’ For Dalun Ruozan to walk out at this ood
"Great Minister, don’t co Chong chose to speak first, his voice resounding through the surroundings
"Young Master, long time no see&8221;
Dalun Ruozan had a leisurely look on his face, bea felt his heart give a fierce thump as he saw the look on Dalun Ruozan’s face For so after the heavy casualties inflicted in this battle was definitely strange
"Great Minister is in a rather goodMaster also spent these last few days very peacefully!&8221;
Dalun Ruozan was all sfro Master one thing&8221;
"Oh?&8221;
A pensive look appeared on Wang Chong’s face
"Great Minister is truly in a carefree and leisurelyMaster, do notMaster&8221;
The happiness on Dalun Ruozan’s face grew increasingly evident, but the feather fan in his hand aving ever more slowly
"Whether it’s Lion City or this city of steel, Young Master’s foresight and talent truly leave a deep i Master ca Master prepared enough water?&8221;
With this final question, Dalun Ruozan put away his fan and grinned
Bzzt!
Wang Chong’s pupils constricted as his complexion paled
And the distant Dalun Ruozan had already retreated, leaving behind only a sonorous laughter that echoed through the battlefield
On the surim expression on his face Gentle breezes caressed his body, all of thele walked out fro?&8221;
He discovered it!
This was the only thought left in Wang Chong’s ’s plan, and one that he could never fill no matter what he did: water Rainfall was scarce in the southwest, and a torrential rain like the one froo was extremely rare
But the food and water of nearly one hundred thousand soldiers was a problem that had to be addressed
A water source was different fro could transport steel walls, but he couldn’t transport a water source And in order to deal with the Tibetans and Mengshe Zhao, Wang Chong had chosen this mountain as the site of the decisive battle, but thisto obtain a source of water
He could not address this deficiency nohad done his utmost to conceal this flaw, but in the end, Dalun Ruozan had stillsuddenly ordered, "Call Sir Zhang Shouzhi over&8221;
"Young Master&8221;
Zhang Shouzhi arrived faster than he had expected, bowing to Wang Chong’s back Zhang Shouzhi’s complexion was still pale, but his condition had stillforced into sleep
In addition, Wang Chong had given hithen his body and supplement his vitality, which had also proved useful
After a long period of silence, Wang Chong said, "Sir Zhang, how much water do we still have left? Howcan the army last with it?&8221;
"Lady Xu has already done her best to prepare for us a large nu and cannot be transported like ar Master ordered, dug out ed to collect a good deal of water fro Master had us arrive here in advance, and we ed to excavate a water source nearby, prepared before the battle Thus, our water situation is actually rather decent
"In addition, we stole quite a feater bags froht raid
"However, the ahty to ninety thousand soldiers is no small sum No matter how much water we could have stored up, it would still be a cup of water being used to put out a burning cart, utterly insufficient,&8221; Zhang Shouzhi explained
Only he and Wang Chong knew the water situation for this army of ninety thousand, with everyone else unaware This was for the express purpose of avoiding a panic Water was not like food Although it seenificant, one had to use water every day
One had to use it to make food, and drink it every day, as did the horses
Without ample supplies of water, the army would encounter difficulties eventhishad foreordained that water would always be an innate and irreparable flaw
