章 403: Chapter 213: Deploying Troops for the Northern Expedition

During such a long time, Lu Yuan was waiting to gather troops.

His 100,000-strong army, stationed here every day, saw several tens of thousands of silver tales flow out.

How could he bear such expenses by merely waiting?

What he was waiting for was not time but silver tales.

Unless your court helps me pay for this expenditure, Lu Yuan won't be willing to suffer this loss.

However, regarding Lu Yuan's words, Shangguan Ming just smiled: "In military campaigns, prudence must always come first. Consider defeat before considering victory. Now that the troops haven't arrived yet, how can we move the army rashly?

As for the consumption of food and fodder.

My command of more than 100,000 troops, from Linhai and Yuzhang Prefectures, have never complained about the long-distance supply of food.

Given that Changsha has only 100,000 troops and is within the country, they can be supplied locally. So how can they not be supported?"
