Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 278 Recapture of Dongling

At the city gate, there was a crowd of people, the place was noisy and bustling, and people were coming and going in a hurry.

Gu Zezhi rode a snow-white horse and galloped from afar. His face showed fatigue from the long journey for days, but his eyes were very bright.

Gu Zezhi rode his horse through the bustling and noisy streets, heading straight towards the imperial palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he dismounted swiftly, handed the reins to the guards waiting on the side, and then walked into the palace with steady steps.

In the study of Yunji Palace, Yunxiu's eyebrows had been twisted into caterpillars. She was flipping through the reports on the table. The yellow hemp paper was rolled into a scroll. She looked at half of the table and the whole table, just like marking test papers.

Why do they still like to roll up the paper like bamboo slips? They should be asked to fold it like memorials.

At this time, the attendant came to report that Gu Zezhi had arrived.

Yunxiu turned around and saw Gu Zezhi walk into the hall. He stood straight and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The eldest princess raised her head upon hearing the voice, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She quickly said, "Master Gu, you're finally back! How's the battle situation on the front lines? Tell me in detail."

Gu Zezhi stood up, skillfully took out the military report from his pocket, raised it with both hands, and said, "Your Highness, this is the military report just received from the front line.

Your Majesty led the coalition forces of Dongling and Xiling, recaptured the cities of Dongling, and captured those foreign tribes.

The war is tense right now, and food supplies are being consumed greatly. Your Majesty has specially ordered me to return to mobilize more food supplies to be shipped to the front lines."

When the army is on the march, food and fodder must go first. When going on a campaign, logistical support must not be neglected.

Yunxiu nodded and told Gu Zezhi that she could also do her bit to help.

But Gu Zezhi declined politely, "Your Majesty is already aware of Mrs. Lin's funeral. Now that the position of the Shaofu is vacant, Your Highness should not try to be too arrogant."

When Yunxiu heard Gu Zezhi's refusal, she couldn't help but feel a little confused and thought to herself, does he think he is poor?

Forget it, since His Majesty doesn’t want it, she will save as much as possible.

Three days passed in a flash, and that morning, there was suddenly a noise outside the palace.

A guard ran in with a panicked look on his face and reported, "Your Highness, a scout who has returned from the front lines wants to see you. He says he has urgent military information."

Yunxiu's eyes glared, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart. She immediately said, "Let her in!"

After a while, a scout covered in dust and tattered clothes rushed into the hall, fell to his knees, and said breathlessly: "Your Highness, the front line is in urgent need of food and supplies!"

Yunxiu hurried forward, helped the scout up, and asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? Tell me slowly."

The scout swallowed, took a deep breath, and then said, “Your Highness, His Majesty fought bravely on the front lines.

During the Battle of Dongling, Your Majesty led the soldiers in person, holding a sword, charging into the enemy camp, killing the enemy and forcing them to flee in disarray, successfully recaptured Dongling.

Your Majesty left General Zhong Rong to guard Dongling, and Your Majesty led the army to continue marching towards Beiling. Although the soldiers had to march quickly and lacked supplies, their morale was still high.

In Beiling, Your Majesty met with General Lin Yan and worked closely together to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy in Beiling.

The enemy was extremely cunning and constantly harassed our grain transport teams, resulting in the destruction of many batches of grain and grass.

The army is running low on food and fodder, and the soldiers have already started to live frugally. If there is no more food and fodder, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the army."

Yunxiu's face instantly became solemn, and Gu Zezhi happened to enter the palace.

Yunxiu asked, "Master Gu, how are the military supplies at the front line being prepared?"

Gu Zezhi quickly responded: "Your Highness, rest assured. I have already prepared food, weapons and other supplies, and they can be transported to the battlefield at any time."

Yunxiu looked at Gu Zezhi and said seriously, "Scout, please report the previous military report again."

After hearing this, Gu Zezhi couldn't help but sigh at the speed at which His Majesty deployed his troops. "Your Majesty has already led his troops to Beiling."

"Master Gu, please organize personnel immediately and prioritize the allocation of food and fodder to the Beiling front. We must ensure their safe delivery."

Gu Zezhi nodded firmly: "Yes, Your Highness! I will do it right away!"

After saying goodbye to Yunxiu, Gu Zezhi rushed back to the military supply warehouse.

Yunxiu stood in the hall, looking in the direction he left, her heart full of worry.

I just hope that this batch of food and fodder can reach the front line smoothly, so that the Queen Mother and the soldiers will no longer have to worry about food and fodder, and can achieve victory as soon as possible and bring peace back to the Yun Kingdom.
