Although Daliang City is located downstream, there are still areas further downstream, and the floodwaters are gradually receding.

Additionally, the floating debris in the city and several high grounds helped many people survive.

Approximately seventy to eighty percent of the city's populace survived.

Of the original 400,000 Wei soldiers in the city, about sixty to seventy percent survived, with nearly 200,000 captured by the Qin Army.

Faced with the fierce Qin Army surrounding the prisoner camps, these surrendered soldiers had no choice but to comply.

Having just gone through the purgatory of the flood, even if they harbored resentment towards Qin, they could only endure it for the sake of survival.

Supreme General's Camp!

"Shangjiangjun."

"There are simply too many surrendered soldiers and civilians from Daliang City this time."

"With our current military rations, I'm afraid they'll only last for half a month at most." Tu Sui reported with a helpless expression.

"Are you suggesting we abandon them?" Zhao Feng looked up and glanced at Tu Sui.

"I merely thought that we shouldn't waste our army's provisions on these people. Tens of thousands of mouths are a huge consumption." Tu Sui replied honestly.

"If they were still with the enemy, naturally, we wouldn't care about them."

"But now that Wei has fallen, they are all part of our Huaxia, all Qin citizens."

"In terms of reason and emotion, I can't stand by and watch them die." Zhao Feng said sternly.

The tone of his words left no room for doubt.

In reality, there were many in the army opposed to accommodating these hundreds of thousands of Wei people, with some even wanting to let them fend for themselves.

But Zhao Feng directly suppressed this, insisting on keeping them alive.

"Kuai Pu."

"How long until the Imperial Court's relief food arrives?"

Zhao Feng looked towards Kuai Pu.

"Reporting to Shangjiangjun."

"It should arrive within half a month." Kuai Pu immediately replied.

"Good." Zhao Feng nodded.

At this moment!

"Subordinate Yang Bo requests an audience."

A voice came from outside the camp.

"Hmm."

Zhao Feng waved his hand.

Zhang Ming immediately said, "Enter."

The next moment.

The curtain was lifted.

A middle-aged general stood before Zhao Feng.

"Subordinate Yang Bo pays respects to Shangjiangjun." The newcomer bowed to Zhao Feng.

He wore the battle armor of a main general, yet he wasn't the main camp's general but rather the main general of the Logistics Army.

He was serving under the Wu'an Military Camp's Logistics Army command.

"Hmm."

Zhao Feng gestured for Yang Bo to rise.

"Shangjiangjun."

"Nearly sixty percent of the grain stored in Daliang City's granaries survived." Yang Bo said with excitement.

Upon hearing this.

A hint of joy flashed across the faces of Tu Sui and Zhang Han: "In that case, we won't need to consume much of our Qin grain supplies."

"Wei Wuji amassed provisions for a 400,000-strong army for a year in Daliang City to counter us. Even though many were lost to the flood, it's still enough for these civilians and surrendered soldiers."

"Moreover, if we make porridge out of the grain, it will stretch further." Zhang Han said excitedly.

Qin was well aware of the Wei state's past grain storage conditions.

"Why weren't these provisions destroyed by the flood?" Tu Sui curiously asked Yang Bo.

"This is thanks to Wei Wuji's prudence."

"He had numerous underground storage granaries built throughout Wei's capital. All were sealed, flood-resistant, and even fireproof."

"The grain in these underground granaries was virtually untouched by the flood." Yang Bo replied immediately.

"Haha."

"It seems."

"Wei Wuji initially guarded against our Qin's fire attack strategies by constructing so many underground storage facilities."

"This truly benefits our Qin." Zhang Han promptly responded.

"General Yang."

Zhao Feng looked at Yang Bo.

"Please instruct, Shangjiangjun." Yang Bo bowed again.

"With the floods in Daliang, poor preventative measures could lead to a massive outbreak."

"Have the Logistics Army soldiers clearing corpses in the city all covered their noses and mouths?" Zhao Feng asked solemnly.

"Reporting to Shangjiangjun."

"They've all covered their faces, and upon exiting the city, their uniforms were burned, followed by disinfection with strong alcohol."

"This ensures no chance of an epidemic." Yang Bo immediately confirmed.

"Remember."

"Bury all visible corpses on the spot."

"Have the Logistics Army work extra hard to deal with this quickly."

"As for those buried under mud or ruins, leave them be."

"Once the visible corpses are cleared, block the city for concealment and repair of Daliang City." Zhao Feng instructed firmly.

"Understood, sir." Yang Bo promptly replied.

"Of course."

"First, transport the grain out of the city." Zhao Feng added.

Afterward.

After giving more instructions,

Tu Sui and the others slowly departed from Ying Zheng.

At that moment!

"Reporting to Shangjiangjun."

"Governor Han Fei requests an audience."

A trusted aide's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing it was Han Fei.

Zhao Feng's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Invite him in quickly." Zhao Feng immediately called out.

For Zhao Feng, Han Fei could be considered a friend.
