Some Xiliang people weren't willing to accept their fate, not wanting to stay in the city and wait to die with the Zhou army, so they stood hopefully on the right side.
After all, Jiangzi City was surrounded on all sides, and the food inside was limited. Now, the Zhou army was still willing to give the civilians food, but who knew if they were just raising them as future food?"
They hadn't encountered such situations on their journey of fleeing...
To survive, they had killed those who were close to death, distributed the meat for everyone to eat, and among those who wanted to leave the city... some had eaten human flesh.
Although each midnight in their dreams they would dream of being eaten or see those whom they ate demanding their lives, upon awakening to find themselves still alive, they considered themselves lucky.
Now, the four gates of the city were blocked, and to avoid becoming food for the Zhou army, they had to leave the city no matter what.
