They should naturally be informed that Qi Nuan is safe and sound.
Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Jiang Ming was very happy to deliver the letter. Although everyone's status was different now, the most important thing was that everyone was living well.
"I'm not cold, you don't need to worry about me."
"It's okay, Qingqing, you can keep it. You can use it when it gets cold."
Xiao Xing handed the hand warmer in his hand to Qingqing. He had brought it specially from Shangjun because he knew that going to war was not something that would happen in just a few months. He would take care of everything related to Qingqing first.
When Jiang Ming entered, he saw the two of them pushing each other away.
Meanwhile, Yang Liuer was watching with amusement. This scene happened almost every day. Xiao Xing was always worried that Qingqing was not doing well or not, so she would send her things every few days.
He also inquired about Qingqing's well-being, but Qingqing, considering herself to be in the military and not someone who was particularly delicate, felt quite helpless about the things Xiaoxing brought.
Qingqing looked up and saw Jiang Ming standing outside the tent. She was pleasantly surprised and stuffed the hand warmer into Xiaoxing's arms before running towards Jiang Ming.
"Brother Jiang Ming, what brings you here?"
Seeing this, Xiaoxing tightened her grip on the hand warmer, pursed her lips, and then walked over as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Jiang Ming."
Jiang Ming nodded to the two women, glanced at the others in the tent, nodded back to them, and then said to the two women, "Come with me."
A tent usually houses 6-10 people. Qingqing's tent housed 6 people. At this moment, besides Qingqing and Yang Liuer, there were two other people. The other two had gone out.
Their female troops were also brought along on this march.
Jiang Ming led Qingqing and the others to his tent. Amu and the others were also there. After everyone was there, Jiang Ming told them about Qi Nuan's letter.
Qingqing was overjoyed, almost jumping for joy, but her voice was choked with emotion, "I knew she would be alright, so where is she now?"
Jiang Ming was also unable to answer her question.
He simply said, "You'll find out when we get back."
Then he glanced at everyone and saw smiles and excitement on their faces, and said, "The battlefield has no eyes. Be careful and don't go back. Some people are missing limbs."
Xiao nodded, a hint of moisture in his eyes, and asked, "Does Young Master know?"
"Of course I know."
Qingqing picked up where he left off, and then said to Jiang Ming, "We will definitely be careful. After all, we are all destined to become great generals. When we go back and see Anuan, she will be very surprised to see that we have all become great generals."
No one agreed with her words, but no one refuted them either.
Everyone else knew this was what she was hoping for.
Seeing that they understood, Jiang Ming didn't say anything more. After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Ming returned to Jiang Yu's tent, where he saw a rather unexpected person.
It's Jiang Qi. Yes, Jiang Qi is also in the army, but his identity is that of Gu Yucheng's strategist.
Jiang Qi smiled at Jiang Ming when he saw him, "Long time no see."
Jiang Ming glanced at Jiang Yu, nodded to him, and then stepped aside.
At this moment, the generals sent by various prefectures were in Jiang Yu's camp. Gu Yucheng stood above and said to the others, "It is said that an army cannot move until its supplies are ready. However, the court has not sent any supplies yet. What do you all plan to do?"
Jiang Yu did not answer. The march had only just begun, and they naturally had military rations. However, Jiang Yu understood the meaning behind Gu Yucheng's words.
The purpose was not to demand grain, but to incite discontent among others towards the court and to test their attitudes toward it.
And the result is obvious.
These people have no fear of the current court, which is why Sheng Xiao is so worried.
"Naturally, we should ask the General for military rations. We should obey the General in all matters of the army now. As long as my soldiers don't go hungry, I can't control what they do."
The speaker was Yang Pengpai from Kuaiji Commandery, who brought 50,000 troops with him this time.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. If the soldiers can't even eat their fill, how can they fight? We are determined to fight to the death for our country, but when we run out of ammunition and food, we can't send our soldiers to their deaths."
Liao Ziquan looked at everyone and asked, "What do you all think?"
Others chimed in, “The general is absolutely right. We fight for our country, and we hope that our emperor will not discourage the soldiers.”
Everyone knows that although the world has become so turbulent, Emperor Zhou still lives in his dream of being above all others, indulging in revelry every night. If it weren't for the fierce advance of the rebel army in Yuyang, he probably wouldn't have thought to send anyone to resist them. He also treated the generals who came to his aid with great perfunctoriness.
They couldn't see that beneath this calm surface, the Great Zhou Dynasty was riddled with holes.
There are currently no capable people in the court, and Pan Yi, the commander-in-chief, has no talent whatsoever. He only became the general because of the Zhou emperor's favor towards his sister.
Not to mention the eunuch Huang Han who came to supervise the army; he was nothing more than a petty man who only knew how to bully others.
Now, only General Sheng Xiao of Changsha Commandery is truly devoted to the country.
However, he alone is unlikely to be able to save this collapsing edifice. Take the food supplies, for example; this alone is a problem he cannot solve, and it is also the reason why they are destined to lose.
However, whether it was Jiang Yu or Gu Yucheng, they all had ulterior motives and had long given up hope for the Great Zhou. Otherwise, they would have been like Sheng Xiao, sighing and doing their best, only to be burdened by the court.
These people came for nothing more than fame and an opportunity.
After testing each other, the group learned about each other's backgrounds and were no longer so indignant about the lack of military rations.
The more incompetent and foolish the Zhou emperor is, the more logical it becomes for them to leave.
But these things can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explicitly stated.
But provisions are still necessary, after all, the journey is long and they don't have much military rations of their own. Insufficient provisions are the worst thing in a military campaign.
They didn't want to lose both their wife and their army before even reaching Julu.
Jiang Yu looked at everyone and said, "The army's food supplies are insufficient. We should report to the General as soon as possible. I wonder if everyone's army has sufficient food supplies?"
"insufficient."
Everyone said in unison.
They naturally admired Sheng Xiao greatly, and it was good that he saw through the true nature of the Great Zhou court as soon as possible. A hero should not die such a pathetic death; he can die on the battlefield, but not at the hands of his own people.
The court has already abandoned the country before the war has even begun. What will happen when the time comes for a life-or-death situation?
To entrust the soldiers behind you to the imperial court based on such a small matter is undoubtedly foolish.
