He walked straight out of the tent, mounted his horse, and headed straight for the central army camp.
Along the way, the muddy road made it difficult for the horses to move forward, but Xia He still rode the Red Fox Horse steadily and soon arrived at the central army camp.
Outside the central army camp, several Yunzhou soldiers saw Xia He and were very respectful. They personally led him to the commander-in-chief's tent.
"General Xia, could you please ask us when we can set off?"
The wilderness was too humid and many soldiers could not bear it.
Xia He opened the tent curtain and walked into the tent, and found Zhao Tiangang sitting together with a group of deputy generals, seemingly discussing something.
Seeing Xia He come in, everyone's eyes fell on him with a bit of scrutiny and inquiry, without any concealment.
Xia He looked normal, clasped his fists in greeting, and got straight to the point:
"General Zhao, I came here this time to ask for food and fodder. The army is currently at a standstill and the food and fodder consumption is huge. If we continue to retreat here, I'm afraid that subsequent supplies will be difficult to guarantee. Please make a decision as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity to fight."
Zhao Tiangang frowned slightly when he heard this, and his eyes swept across Xia He's face.

One of the generals, who was burly and full of flesh, snorted coldly, glanced at Xia He with a squinting eye, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Missed the opportunity? Ha, you young brat!"
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. Although several vassal governors did not jump out to sneer, their eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.
Xia He, however, looked calm and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Just discussing the matter at hand."
Zhao Tiangang sat in the main seat, his eyes moving back and forth between Xia He and the generals, his brows slightly furrowed.
Although he was conservative, he was not unreasonable and naturally knew the urgency of the food and fodder issue.
However, he did not want to offend Li Dushi behind Xia He, so he tried to smooth things over and suddenly said in a deep voice,
"General Xia doesn't know."
