Even if Chu State has grain, they cannot transport it to the Snowy Wilderness.
Therefore, the path of Chu State is cut off.
If Chu State is not an option, the only remaining choices for them to obtain food outside the Snowy Wilderness would be Western Liang and Zhou Country.
Western Liang is located in the western part of Yong State, with mostly grassland and sand. It is barely richer than the Snowy Wilderness, as its entire population amounts to only three million, making it a truly barren land.
Furthermore, like the Snow Plains Nomads, Western Liang has also fallen into food shortage due to a snow disaster.
Although their situation is slightly better, to the point that they are not on the verge of starvation, they are not far from it either.
At the same time, the people of Western Liang are fierce and courageous, even more so than the Zhou People or the Nomads.
It is already a blessing that they didn't come to rob Zhou Country or the Snow Plains.
