Chapter 215

While on the road, Ye Tian kept pondering the feasibility of the enemy's plan in his mind. At first, he thought the enemy had arranged for people to hide in various places in advance, waiting to gather together now and then burn the granaries city by city. Burning them one after another from beginning to end would not only make all the stored grain in Jiangnan vanish, but they could even use the mountain forests to hide in the end. However, Ye Tian quickly realized that if it were merely like that, if one place came under attack, the nearby prefectures would inevitably get word in advance and be on their guard. After all, granaries held a vast amount of grain; even burning it would take a long time to destroy it completely. During this period, even if the enemy could move swiftly to one prefecture, the remaining prefectures would definitely make preparations, because no matter how many men the enemy had, it was impossible for them to exceed two or three thousand.
