Deputy General Zhong's face turned slightly pale. He said in a low voice, "General, the soldiers have been hungry for a long time. Also, there might be pursuers behind…"

"So what?" Qi Haoran interrupted him. "If you enter the village, what's the difference between you and the bandits? We might as well have just surrendered on the mountain? Where's the nearest supply point?" Qi Haoran glared at him and asked again.

Typically, garrisons had supply points at the localities. These places were only known to the trusted aides of the upper echelons. Qi Haoran had just taken over the army not long ago and had started fighting as soon as he arrived. The previous supply points were provided by the Imperial Court, and there was not much there. In fact, it was uncertain if there was anything inside or if the food inside could be eaten. Hence, Qi Haoran had not asked up till that point.
