Chapter 585: The Chief and Deputy Chiefs Are Not in Harmony

Wei Jianxiong turned around and his eyes fell on the soldiers who were struggling to follow behind and were panting.

He took a deep breath, then raised his voice and continued shouting,

"Look at the soldiers behind us. They are traveling day and night without stopping and don't even have time to drink water! If this continues, how can we fight the enemy and defend our country?"

"General Tian, ​​you are riding a tall horse and it is easy for you to travel without feeling tired, but can't you look back at the soldiers' heavy steps? They are almost unable to hold on!"

Wei Jianxiong's words immediately resonated with the soldiers.

The exhausted soldiers looked at Tian Xiao riding on his horse with resentful faces.

There were a few complaints from the crowd.

"Yes, if we continue walking like this, it's hard to say whether we can reach Guangfeng City alive..."

"General Bai used to lead his soldiers on the journey, but he never let them suffer from thirst or hunger."

"You want the horse to run fast, but you don't feed it well. What are you thinking..."

"......"

When Tian Xiao heard Wei Jianxiong's words that he was not afraid of making a big deal out of it, he gritted his teeth and glared at him.

As he listened to the soldiers' complaints, his expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Tian Xiao slowly dismounted his horse, walked to the middle of the team, and looked at the faces that were exhausted and filled with a hint of resentment.

He frowned.

"I know you've worked hard, and it's all my fault for not considering it carefully. From now on, we'll slow down and let you take a break."

"But it's impossible to stop. There's no water or dry food to replenish your energy within a few miles. The longer we delay, the hungrier we'll get."

"While we still have some strength left, let's rush to Guangfeng City and replenish our energy then."

"Now everyone rest here for a quarter of an hour!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire team gradually stopped and began to rest and adjust...

The soldiers also knew that the army had no food, so they could only complain.

After Tian Xiao calmed down the soldiers, he turned and glared at Wei Jianxiong.

"Deputy General Wei, since you care so much about the soldiers, could you get some dry food and water for them?"

"You're not just saying you feel sorry for me, are you?!"

Everyone can say they are heartbroken, but if you have the ability, come up with something tangible.

He was not blind, so how could he not know that the soldiers were tired, hungry, thirsty, and had difficulty moving forward?

But what can he do?

Emperor Wu of Liang only sent troops to him.

As for the food and fodder for these soldiers, Emperor Wu of Liang did not mention a word.

He had already left the military camp outside the capital with 100,000 soldiers, only to find that the soldiers had no food or fodder.

He couldn't just turn around and ask Emperor Wu of Liang for food and supplies.

This was his first time leading troops, so he had no experience and was really upset.

One hundred thousand soldiers had been hungry in the barracks for many days.

They traveled day and night without stopping for another whole day, without even a sip of water. He was afraid that if the team stopped, the soldiers would not be able to hold on.

But his good deputy general Wei Jianxiong was still stirring up trouble at this time.

Tian Xiao touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, wishing he could draw the sword and chop Wei Jianxiong directly.

Wei Jianxiong pulled the corners of his lips and curled his lips.

"How can I do that? Shouldn't you, the commander-in-chief, be responsible for this?"

"Besides, they always send food and fodder before the troops move. We have been moving for a whole day and night, but we haven't seen any food and fodder. How can that be justified?"

"You are a commander-in-chief, leading an army of 100,000. Don't you know how to get food and fodder?"

He was just a deputy general. Why should he be in charge? Emperor Wu of Liang did not give him this status.

Tian Xiao gritted his teeth angrily and glared at Wei Jianxiong angrily.

This was the first time he wanted to crush someone so much.

"What's going on in the capital? Don't you know?"

"If I could get food and grass, do you think I wouldn't take it?"

At this point, Tian Xiao took a deep breath and looked towards the direction of Guangfeng City.

"Guangfeng City is not too far from the capital. As long as the soldiers hold on, they can reach Guangfeng City in two days."

"As long as we reach Guangfeng City, we will naturally have food and fodder."

It is unknown how long Dongmen City can hold out, so he must rush to Guangfeng City as soon as possible with an army of 100,000.

Let the soldiers rest in Guangfeng City for a few hours, and then immediately set out for Dongmen City.

No matter what, Dongmen City must be defended.
