By the end of May this year, with the early summer upon us, the Barbarians' grain looting war this spring, following a major defeat and a loss of over two hundred thousand men, barely came to an end.
Now, it's only been August, the start of autumn, and not even three months have passed, yet the Barbarians have once again sought cooperation with the Chu State.
"Do you plan to attack Helong again this autumn?"
In Baling, within the palace, Lu Yuan looked at the Barbarian Messenger below and, after hearing the intention, couldn't help asking.
"Yes."
The Barbarian Messenger nodded, then earnestly said, "This spring, thanks to Chu State's assistance, we were able to loot a large amount of grain. This summer, no one in the various tribes starved to death.
But now, more than two months have passed since the grain brought from Helong has been consumed.
This autumn, there will be a shortage of grain among the tribes.
