In the afternoon, Zhao Yongqian came to deliver the message.
"After discussing it with my uncles, we all feel that the Zhongshan Army may not have enough time to prepare for the winter. We are willing to use the strength of our fort to assist the Zhongshan Army in settling in their rear."
Zhao Yongqian hesitated, "It's this ice-making recipe..."
This is what they were worried about. The Zhao family was in a weak position. Although the girl clearly said that she would exchange it for the ice-making recipe, if she did not admit it afterwards, the Zhao family would have nowhere to seek justice.
Always ask clearly first.
Wei Xiyin knew of course that since the Zhao family had already agreed, they had to be allowed to taste some sweetness first.
She said very straightforwardly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will present the prescription to you in three days."
This means that the first batch of food must be prepared in three days.
Get an accurate answer.
Zhao Yongqian said goodbye and left.
The people in Zhao's Fort began to get busy, organizing the people to continue cutting wood, and cartloads of food were pulled out from some corner.
Wei Xiyin was too lazy to ask. She wrote down the medicinal herbs and other supplies needed by the army on a piece of paper and sent guards to deliver it to the Zhao clan hall.
Winter is not possible without medicinal herbs.
After looting the city, the medicine shop in Wei's Fortress found many well-preserved rare medicinal herbs, but there were few common medicines for treating colds in stock.
The family must keep enough medicinal herbs to cope with the winter, so she only brought a small amount of herbs this time. She could only ask Zhao to prepare more to be on the safe side.
Outside.
Cartloads of grain were transported out and handed over to Gong Chun.
He counted the records.
Each bag of grain from the imperial court is one dan. Since it is said to be 40,000 dan, not a single liang can be less.
"The first batch of 5,000 dan of grain will probably be fully loaded by tomorrow."
Zhao Yongzhong spoke with him and explained in detail, "Forty thousand dan is a large number, so it can only be transported in batches. Don't worry, my dear, we dare not deceive you."
The uncles and aunts handed the matter over to Zhao Yongzhong, who was in charge of handing it over to the Zhongshan army outside.
When he came over, he found that the person in charge of the army's food and fodder was a young man.
Zhao Yongzhong thought he was the young master of the Wei family, so he treated Gong Chun with extra courtesy, fearing that he might do something wrong and upset him.
Gong Chun didn't explain. He said calmly, "This is perfect. The camp isn't built yet, and there's nowhere to store the food."
The quantity is huge and it is impossible to transport it all at once. It can only be transported in batches. In the future, timber and other materials will need to be transported. I am afraid that throughout October, there will be many Zhongshan troops traveling between Mo County and Raoan County.
Only then did Zhao Yongzhong feel relieved.
After a while, the medicinal materials were delivered by Kang Chuanbai himself. Because he was afraid that the Zhongshan army would not understand the efficacy of the medicine, many of them were prepared prescriptions, and each prescription contained detailed descriptions of the medicinal materials.
Several people counted the supplies together and were busy until dark before they finally handed over everything.
The sky darkened and the surroundings became hazy.
Gong Chun handed the recorded amount to the soldier beside him and was about to go to eat when he saw Wei Xiyin walking towards him from a distance.
After so many days since they set out, the two of them haven't met each other once.
Wei Xiyin approached, pointed at the grain carts neatly arranged in the back, and asked, "How's it going?"
Gong Chun did not answer, but said calmly: "Miss Wei is really confident that she would just leave the food supplies to an outsider like me."
They were stationed on the left side of the south, while General Chen led his troops on the right.
Wei Mingyuan lived in the fort with Wei Xiyin, and the deputy general Shi Le went to Raoan County. There was no one in charge of the army on the left side.
Wei Xiyin smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? Liu Langjun, have you ever heard of a commander without troops?"
All of her men are hers, including the Wei family army and Wei clan followers, all of them are loyal to her.
Besides, not only is there no one in charge, a captain of the Wei family army is still here, specifically watching Zhang Yuanyan.
It's just that its presence is not very high.
Gong Chun lowered his eyelids and did not respond.
She often says some confusing words, and if you don't know what they mean, just ignore her.
"Two thousand dan of grain and two hundred sets of medicinal herbs will be handed over today. We need to give Zhao family time to prepare the rest."
Gong Chun changed the subject and said, "The medicinal materials are handled very well, and there are even prescriptions included. In my opinion, it would be better for the lady to ask two Kang family members to accompany the army. If someone in the army falls ill, it will be better to have a medical officer with them."
The Wei family had very few medical officers. One was old, one was slow to react, and the other was a female reserve girl who could not be arranged to accompany the army.
Now when you hire other people, there’s no need to be polite.
really.
Wei Xiyin sighed, "That's exactly what I was thinking. We don't have many medical officers."
However, this matter can only be brought up last, so as to avoid making too many demands at once and causing indigestion among the Zhao clan members.
Gong Chun was speechless when he heard this, and he knew that the girl would use him without any hesitation.
And when Wei Xiyin saw the expression on his face in the dim light, she was even more speechless, because it was clearly he who suggested this.
Zhang Yuanyan had just returned from General Chen's place. When he saw the girl coming out, he was startled and came over to pay his respects.
"It's getting late. I wonder if the girl is here for something?"
Wei Xiyin pointed to the food supplies in the rear and said, "I came to check the situation. By the way, let me know that the army will escort the supplies on the road tomorrow and transport them to Rao'an County first."
Gong Chun raised his eyebrows slightly, "So fast?"
"Well, we're running out of time," Wei Xiyin said. "We'll leave a thousand soldiers at the Zhao Clan's Fort to hand over the remaining supplies. Tomorrow, Liu Langjun and I will go to Pingli County to pick up the Wei Clan relatives and return to Qinghe County together."
The original plan was to go back after dealing with Zhao. There were only a dozen days left, and I'm afraid it would be winter by the time I return.
In winter, it will be snowy and icy outside, and the roads will be slippery. Even if the roads have been cleared, it will not be safe.
"Pingli County and Rao'an County are about the same distance from Zhao's Fort, and it takes about ten days."
Gong Chun knew that the matter had been settled. He said, "The two places are far apart. Soldiers going to Pingli County should travel light and move faster."
The implication is, why not wait at Zhao's house instead of rushing over.
Zhang Yuanyan was completely stunned.
Return to Qinghe County?
It was only at this time that he realized that Miss Wei and Mr. Gong Liu had no intention of getting involved in what happened next in Guangping!
"From Pingli, you can return directly via the border county. Waiting here will take several days to go back and forth."
After Wei Xiyin finished answering, she turned to look at Zhang Yuanyan and said bluntly, "I know that Master Zhang is worried about Guang'an's safety. To be honest, the one I am most worried about when I leave this time is you, Master."
Zhang Yuanyan looked stunned.
What does the girl mean by this?
Wei Xiyin continued to speak to herself, "Master Zhang, please think clearly. The Yizhou Army in Guangping may no longer be the Yizhou Army of the imperial court. And Wang Kangsheng may not be the Wang Kangsheng you knew before."
"If it really comes to the point where negotiation is impossible, what will Master Zhang do?"
She stared at Zhang Yuanyan with her eyes, "We have been together for almost a year. Master Zhang knows exactly what kind of person I am and how the Wei family is. I hope you will not betray my trust."
After a year of long-term investment, if you don’t reel in the investment now, when will you?
