Moreover, among these two million people, there were also those from the Wei State Army.
At this time, the Wei Army had suffered a crushing defeat and had lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Now, the remaining population in Shuofang County is estimated to be just over one million.
This is also why, even though the Wei State knew Guannei County was tough to crack, they had to dispatch troops this year regardless.
Because if they didn't send troops on the Southern Expedition, the Wei civilians in Shuofang County would have been eaten clean by them.
At that point, if they still wanted to survive, could it be that the Wei Army would have to resort to cannibalism among themselves again?
If it came to that, it would truly be too horrific.
It's not that the Wei State's monarch and ministers cared too much about the Wei Army to do such a thing.
