After hearing what Gong Yu said, Yang Xiao said with a frown: "That's true, I am also worried about this matter."
"I followed your majesty's order to return to defend Jinyang, and I have been traveling non-stop all the way."
"It's just to come back a moment earlier so that I can make some preparations earlier."
As soon as Yang Xiao said this, Zhu'er beside him hurriedly said: "Uncle Yang, Sister Gong Yu has already thought of what you thought of."
"Just a few days ago, I asked officials of all ranks in Jinyang and nearby areas to collect a lot of food and fodder."
"Also, when Brother Wuji went on the expedition to Dadu, he did not take all the horses with him."
"These horses can be used to transport food and fodder."
Gong Yu suddenly said again: "These horses can also become part of the food supply."
"When people are extremely hungry, there is nothing they won't eat."
"However, the supply of food and fodder has always been a major problem throughout the ages."
"Especially long-distance supplies of thousands of miles."
"During this period, the team transporting food and fodder also needed to eat, and their consumption of food and fodder even exceeded that of the soldiers fighting on the front line."
"And we also have to prevent enemy attacks."
"Otherwise, all the food and grass would be burned to ashes with just a fire."
"When Your Majesty goes on an expedition, you can also rob the Mongols on the grassland along the way."
"However, after the burning, killing and looting that Your Majesty has committed along the way, if General Zhang takes this route again, the entire route will surely be clean."
"If we don't rush to help him as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to reach Dadu."
Zhu'er said anxiously: "Sister Gong, your brain is better than mine, just tell me, what should we do now?"
Gong Yu said: "What else can we do? We can only rush to help General Zhang as soon as possible."
Yang Xiao said: "This is indeed the only way, but General Zhang has taken away almost all the capable and battle-hardened generals to support Your Majesty this time."
"If we want to help him again, we need to find someone who can be of great use. Where can we find this person?"
After thinking for a while, Gong Yu patted Zhu'er on the shoulder and said, "I think, Miss Zhu'er, you should be able to do this."
Zhu'er said in surprise: "I! Sister Gong, my brain is not as useful as yours. Instead of saying it about me, you might as well say it about yourself."
Gong Yu said: "Then let's go together."
"There's no point in staying in Hexi. Your Majesty has already taken Dadu."
"Although we are women, we should go and do what we can."
"What's more, I have some skills. Although I can't compare with the Queen and the others, I can still deal with ordinary soldiers without any problem."
Looking at Gong Yu's determined eyes, Zhu'er quickly said, "Sister Gong, I'll be relieved if you go with us."
Han Zhao on the side said: "And me, I am not as useless as you think."
"Sister Gong is pregnant, I can take care of her along the way."
After hearing these words, Yang Xiao hurriedly said: "No, you are all His Majesty's women, and you cannot afford any mistakes. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty."
"You cannot be the ones to escort the grain."
After hearing this, Gong Yu said anxiously: "General Yang, time is running out, and there is no better candidate now."
"I guess you know what my previous identity was. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Before I followed Your Majesty, I was Chen Youliang's man."
"I have as much experience in leading troops in battle as you men."
"Unfortunately, I am a woman. Chen Youliang at that time neither wanted to listen to my advice nor let me lead the troops to fight."
"If he had listened to me, he might not have ended up like Poyang Lake."
Yang Xiao naturally knew that Gong Yu used to be Chen Youliang's man.
But even so, he still would not agree with this opinion.
After all, Gong Yu is pregnant with Zhang Wuji's child.
After thinking for a while, Yang Xiao said, "Madam Gong, how about I go and escort the grain and you stay in Jinyang?"
"After I deliver the food and grass to General Zhang, I will immediately rush back to Jinyang."
"During this period, it may only take about ten days."
"There shouldn't be any big problems."
Gong Yu said: "Absolutely not. What should we do if Wang Baobao leads his troops to attack during this period?"
"After all, I am just a woman, and I don't have the authority like Sister Zhou and Sister Queen."
"If I stay in Jinyang and Wang Baobao attacks, who can I command?"
Gong Yu's few words left Yang Xiao speechless.
At this moment, Han Zhao also said: "General Yang, I think what Sister Gong said is feasible."
"When the young master went on the expedition, you were still fighting with Wang Baobao in Longcheng."
"When the young master left, he took away almost all the capable and battle-hardened generals."
"And this time General Zhang went to help the young master, and he also took away the only capable and brave warriors."
"Nowadays, looking at the entire Hexi area, it is basically empty."
"You are the only general here who is good at fighting, so you can't leave."
"As for us women, since the young master has already taken over Dadu, we should return to him."
"If something happens to the young master, how can we survive?"
…
After a heated discussion, Yang Xiao finally compromised.
How can a man possibly win over three women?
At this moment, Yang Xiao has also experienced the fighting power of these three women.
These three women together are probably as numerous as five hundred ducks.
In less than half an hour, Yang Xiao felt that his ears were about to explode.
Now, he even doubted how Zhang Wuji managed to survive with these women.
These three people with no cultivation are like this. If Zhou Zhiruo and the other three people with cultivation were to take their place, who knows what would happen?
…
Gong Yu and the others stayed awake all night.
Yang Xiao also knew that he could not stop them, because he knew that he was just a general, and no matter how powerful his confidant was, he was still just a general.
A general, even if he has a good excuse, cannot interfere in the emperor's family affairs, let alone the emperor's women.
So, we can only let them do as they please.
…
Gong Yu is decisive and efficient in her work. She has a good brain, while Zhu'er is quick in her actions. In addition, they were well prepared, so she had assembled the team after an hour.
There were tens of thousands of horses, thousands of carriages, and an accompanying team of tens of thousands of people.
Zhu'er said to Gong Yu, "Sister Gong, there are so many people. When my brother Wuji conquered Xuzhou, he didn't seem to need so many people."
