Chapter 119 Suishui

A few days later, the Prince of Yan captured Pei County and immediately led his army south to Xuzhou. At that time, the Xuzhou government troops had lost the battle with the vanguard Zhu Gaoxu's troops and had closed the city to defend it. So the northern army surrounded Xuzhou and built siege fortifications. Two days after the artillery fire, the Northern Army did not use infantry to attack the city, but sent cavalry out to collect food. It was just as Zhu Gaoxu had expected...an army of more than 200,000 soldiers could not march south without food!
