Chai Jiliang immediately asked, "Your Majesty, you're quickly summoning an army of three hundred thousand to head north, but what will this army eat if the logistics can't keep up?"
The Martial Emperor replied, "I have already issued commands to several counties in the north to gather provisions for that army of three hundred thousand, so you need not worry, Chai."
"I'm not a fool; I wouldn't let my soldiers go hungry."
Hearing this, Chai Jiliang frowned.
Chai Jiliang then said, "Your Majesty, the north has suffered a great drought these past two years, and the people are already living in hardship. After paying their agricultural taxes, they barely have any grain left. If we continue to collect provisions from the north at this time, I fear it may cause resentment among the people in those northern counties."
