The long wait was agonizing, with each day feeling particularly unbearable. Qin Qianluo, outwardly calm, was inwardly filled with anxiety.
She often stood by the window, gazing into the distance, hoping for news of the arrival of supplies.
Liu Pingshuo paced back and forth in the camp, occasionally asking if there was any new information. The soldiers were also discussing it privately, full of anticipation for the upcoming supplies.
Finally, more than half a month later, the convoy carrying "warm-up" clothing slowly entered the vicinity of the border.
Feng Qingyun immediately informed Qin Qianluo of the news. Upon hearing the news, Qin Qianluo took immediate action.
Under the cover of night and with the moonlight as clear as water, Yao Guang quietly left the general's mansion.
The moonlight shone on them, as if draping them in a silver veil. Their figures moved as lightly as ghosts, silently traversing the streets.
Along the way, they were careful, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, afraid of attracting the attention of others.
Upon arriving at the handover point, Qin Qianluo quickly and methodically began to implement her plan.
Her gaze was firm as she directed Yao Guang; the two worked together seamlessly, like well-trained partners.
They first carefully checked the quantity and quality of the supplies, and after confirming that everything was correct, they began to quickly replace them.
They moved swiftly, replacing the prepared supplies with the original supplies in the convoy, box by box and piece by piece.
Throughout the entire process, they held their breath and moved with practiced skill and efficiency. Every step was carried out silently, without making a single unnecessary sound, and the process was smoother than expected.
The surroundings were completely silent, with only the occasional sound of the wind and a few distant barks of dogs adding to the tense atmosphere of this secret operation.
As the moonlight faded, their figures finally appeared in front of the general's mansion, their soft breathing fading into the silence.
A faint glow appeared on the horizon, and pale gold paint spread across the canvas of night. A new day was quietly approaching with light steps.
The moment Liu Pingshuo received the news, his previously tired face was instantly brightened with joy, his face flushed with excitement, and even his ears were burning.
His hands rubbed together unconsciously, as if trying to convey his excitement, and he murmured, "We've been waiting for this for so long. Now our soldiers are safe."
Thinking of the convoy from Jinxiu County, his eyes gleamed with excitement, and he wished he could sprout wings and immediately go to greet the convoy that carried his hopes.
As a seasoned general who had experienced countless battles, he had been through countless baptisms of blood and fire, and had learned valuable lessons from the brutal battlefield.
He knew that only by remaining calm and composed could he control the overall situation at critical moments, while impulsiveness would only bring irreversible consequences.
So he took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
While waiting, his thoughts had already drifted far away, and he began to plan how to allocate the supplies reasonably.
He pondered whether to prioritize replenishing troops that had suffered heavy losses at the front lines, or to focus on strengthening reserves in areas with weak defenses.
The question is whether to centrally allocate resources to maximize their effectiveness, or to disperse them to cope with emergencies.
He repeatedly considered each option in his mind, weighing the pros and cons.
His gaze was sometimes firm, sometimes solemn, not missing a single detail.
This is all to ensure that these supplies play their maximum role in the upcoming battles and help the soldiers achieve victory.
As dawn broke, the inky blue night quietly faded away, and a pale white hue appeared on the horizon, like rice paper soaked with clear water, pure and gentle.
The morning light, like delicate silk threads, pierces through the thin clouds, carrying the hope of dawn, quietly illuminating the entire world, gently draping the earth in a dreamlike veil.
Just then, a convoy transporting "warm-up" clothing, resembling a magnificent steel dragon, began its long, winding journey toward the camp.
The wheels continued to rub against the solid ground, producing a dull yet rhythmic sound.
Every sound struck people's hearts with a powerful thud, like the sound of a majestic and stirring marching prelude.
This sound, piercing through the morning mist, conveyed warmth and hope, announcing the arrival of power.
Upon hearing the commotion, the soldiers quickly emerged from their tents, instantly turning the once peaceful camp into a bustling place.
Their eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation as they carefully examined these mysterious supplies that carried their hopes.
Some soldiers, unable to contain their curiosity, stood on tiptoe and craned their necks, trying to get through the crowd and see the convoy more clearly.
Some whispered among themselves to the soldiers beside them, speculating in hushed tones about what was in the convoy, their words filled with anticipation for the unknown.
Some experienced veterans stood by, silent, but their eyes revealed their relief and peace of mind. They knew what these supplies meant to everyone.
Before night had fully fallen, the 100,000 troops stationed on the border began to receive their thick clothing in an orderly manner, following the established procedure.
The moment you pick up these clothes, you can really feel their substantial weight; they're quite heavy.
It's as if every inch of the fabric is imbued with boundless power; simply holding it in your hand brings a sense of inexplicable peace.
When you gently stroke it, the soft, delicate down inside feels like the warmest winter sun shining down, instantly dispelling any chill.
A warm feeling spread from my fingertips throughout my body, as if every pore was cheering and absorbing this hard-won warmth.
