if they are at war with your opponent, let them be, move along. they will sustain a siege for a time. the Ai falls out seldomly from besieged cities
if they are just landlocked and not at war with anyone (up to now), then you cant do anything. You cant drive them off, you cant fight them.

‘Everything is very simple in War, but the simplest thing is difficult.
