Chapter 756 White Rice(2)_1
Cai Wei rolled her eyes, revealing an expression of scorn: "I ask you, what are the soldiers in the army eating now?"
Nangong Yi’s expression paused, the original charming look suddenly became serious, and he looked at her: "You already know?"
Seeing the man’s expression, Cai Wei knew what she had guessed was correct. The grains and straws he bought on the march had been consumed. Now, the soldiers of the Three Armies were eating the moldy food sent by Jin Guifei’s people. As a result, the soldiers were dissatisfied and the military spirit had started to waver.
"If I hadn’t known, were you planning to keep it from me and carry the burden alone?" Cai Wei glared at him, she was somewhat angry!
Seeing her angry, Nangong Yi held her face and reassured her: "I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry with me. I will find a way for the grains and straws. You don’t need to be anxious."
Cai Wei glared at him, irritated, and said: "The soldiers came with you to this desolate land to wage war, leaving their homes, risking their lives, always having to put their heads on the line, yet you can’t even ensure they receive two meals a day. How can you make the soldiers trust you? Why should they risk their lives for you? If this continues, I’m afraid the military spirit will have already scattered before you can find a solution to the problem. What kind of war are you planning to fight then?"
The man’s expression became dim. He smiled wryly: "Wei’er is right. Tomorrow I will attack the Meng slaves’ Qinlun City. After capturing the city and seizing the food and livestock there, we can temporarily relieve our pressing problem!"
Cai Wei glanced at him, grabbed his hand, and turned to walk out: "Come with me!"
Nangong Yi allowed himself to be led by her, following behind her: "Where are we going?"
"To the place where your military stores its grains and straws!"
"For what?"
"Even if we’re going to war, we first need to have the soldiers eat. They need to be full to fight!"
