Chapter 240

Shen Wei didn't think too deeply about Shen Lingjun's words; his attention was entirely focused on the forty or fifty carts of grain.

This much grain is more than enough to supply 70,000 people!

Shen Wei didn't care why Shen Lingjun hadn't left; he was now filled with a mixture of surprise and joy.

"Good! Excellent! She truly is my daughter!"

The soldiers of Shen's army around them were overjoyed.

With food, they will have a way to survive! And so will Luzhou!

"Marshal Shen's daughter is truly a worthy daughter of a tiger father!"

"Madam Shen's profound understanding of righteousness is a great blessing for Bei Yi!"

Meanwhile, Chu Tianming's face turned green!

How come there's another Shen Wei's daughter out there!

Shen's army was short of food, and she actually delivered food at that very moment!

Has she gone mad?! She's saying that transporting grain from the south to the north to sell is a business with very low profit margins and is a thankless task, and she actually wants to donate so much grain to the army!

She even said she had more food!

Shen Lingjun said to Shen Wei, "Father, pass down the order to distribute the grain to everyone. Each person should get about half a jin."

Shen Wei realized what was happening and said repeatedly, "Good! Good! Everyone, set up stoves and cook on the spot. Let's have a good meal first, and then we'll go to Tianfu Pass!"

He was met with a deafening roar of cheers.

Shen Lingjun turned to Chu Tianming: "General Chu, why are you still standing here? Is there anything else?"

"..."

Chu Tianming's face turned pale and then red, his teeth practically grinding to powder, but he finally turned and left dejectedly.

Shen Lingjun ignored him and, together with Shen Wei, helped distribute the grain on the truck.

When the soldiers received the flour and millet, their eyes welled up with tears.

This isn't wheat or rice, but real flour and threshed millet!

Although it wasn't the finest kind, it was like a delicacy to them. They couldn't even remember the last time they had eaten such good food!

The soldiers who received their rations began to cook. Shen Lingjun went to check on the wounded soldiers.

One of her vehicles was loaded with all sorts of medicinal herbs.

There are military doctors in the army, of course, but after fighting for so long, they have run out of medicine and can only give the wounded the simplest treatment, which is better than nothing.

Shen Lingjun immediately ordered the military doctors to come and collect the medicine, and she herself then devoted herself to treating the wounded soldiers, focusing on those with the most serious injuries and providing emergency care.

Every life saved is a precious resource.

On the other side, the air was soon filled with the enticing aroma of food. The freshly cooked flatbreads and bowls of millet porridge were steaming hot, bringing tears to the eyes of the soldiers.

Everyone was relieved by Shen Wei's return and grateful for the supplies Shen Lingjun had brought them.

After the meal was finished, Shen Lingjun had the wounded soldiers carried onto the forty or fifty empty carts, which saved manpower from transporting them.

The 70,000-strong Shen family army set off in a grand procession toward Tianfu Pass.
