"This Yu Chong sure came quickly."
Chief Historian Feng complained to Chief Historian Chen, "He's definitely here to ask for money and provisions."
Chief Historian Chen chuckled, "Four thousand Nanyang Army troops, making a round trip, indeed consumes a lot of food. Weapons, warhorses, and supplies also need to be prepared, along with military pay. Altogether it's not a small amount. Naturally, General Yu must come in person."
Since receiving the letter from the Commandery Princess, Chief Historian Feng had already begun preparations; it was merely habitual grumbling, "I can't just give however much is asked for. I've already made a budget, so we'll see how much General Yu requests when the time comes."
Chief Historian Chen had dealt with Yu Chong a few times and admired him greatly, he said with a low laugh, "The person the Commandery Princess values wouldn't be someone greedy and shameless, so rest assured!"
