Chapter 469 Arrival at Yanggu Pass
"If the sky falls, your father will hold it up for you. After we bring the army to Runan City, we can talk about the rest after Runan City is rebuilt," Huo Jing said.
His two children have already suffered enough. He would never wrong his children for the sake of blind loyalty or for a court that is not worth it. Call him a traitor or an unfaithful and unjust official, he will bear it all.
"Father, when we left the capital of the Western Yan Kingdom, I had already spread the word in the capital that the court had not sent winter provisions and winter clothes to the Zhenyuan Army, so that the uninformed people would not be deceived by the court!"
"Furthermore, I also sent a letter to the Emperor of Eastern Jin, stating that if the Eastern Jin army dares to indiscriminately slaughter the common people of Western Yan, the death of the previous Emperor of Eastern Jin will be his fate," Nangong Wu said coldly.
"Great!" Huo Jing slapped the armrest, his mood brightening considerably.
This is what he's most worried about.
Once the Zhenyuan army withdraws, the northern gateway of the Western Yan Kingdom will be undefended, and the Eastern Jin army will surely invade. Ordinary people will be the first to suffer. Now that my daughter has sent a letter to the Eastern Jin emperor, there is no need to worry about these things.
The Eastern Jin army and the Western Yan army can fight however they want, but they cannot harm ordinary people.
At this moment, Eileen poked her head out from the kitchen door and asked, "Your Highness, Master, it's getting late. Why don't you have dinner first before discussing matters?"
"Then let's set out the meal!" Huo Jing stood up.
"Dinner's ready!" Eileen pushed a food cart out of the kitchen and placed the dishes on the table one by one.
Li An also helped in the kitchen, and then went out to the playroom to let the children come out for dinner.
Before dinner, Eileen would let the children play games for an hour to balance work and rest.
A group of children came out of the playroom and ran over excitedly when they saw Nangong Wu and Li Feng.
"Mother!"
"grandfather!"
"Father..."
"Stop shouting, everyone go wash your hands," Eileen said.
The six children stopped and stood in a row when they heard her words.
"Auntie Eileen, we've washed our hands. You can see for yourself." Nangong Xi held out her hands to show her.
"Now that you've washed your hands, sit down and have your meal." Huo Jing sat down at the table first.
"I want to sit next to Grandfather." Nangong Xi ran over and climbed onto the chair next to Huo Jing.
Four adults and six children sat together eating.
Huo Jing looked at Nangong Wu's three children and Li Feng's family of four. Now, all that's missing is Nangong Xiao, and their family will be reunited.
Once they return to Runan City, they will never be separated again.
As people get older, they always think about being surrounded by their children and grandchildren, enjoying the joys of family life.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the army began its march.
Li Ke drove the large tracked vehicle ahead to clear the way, while Nangong Wu drove a small car to collect supplies.
The weather was kind to us today; it didn't snow, but the wind was quite strong, and the temperature dropped three degrees compared to yesterday. Fortunately, we didn't have any supplies.
During the midday break, Nangong Wu distributed the meat buns and steamed buns she had brought. That day, she had bought so many buns and steamed buns, along with hundreds of thousands of eggs that Eileen had boiled, that was barely enough to feed the 300,000-strong army for one lunch.
As night fell, the army set up camp and cooked for themselves. Nangong Wu glanced at the screen on the vehicle; they had traveled over 130 li, about 10 li more than the first day.
The next morning, Nangong Wu thought of Emperor Nanqi and Empress Wan, so she wrote a letter and asked Lie Feng to take it to Nanqi to inquire about the situation of Emperor Beichen Yan and Empress Wan.
"Master, what are the soldiers eating for lunch today?" Eileen's voice came into her ears from the space.
"Let's eat self-heating rice! Add a vacuum-packed braised pork to save time," Nangong Wu said.
The days are already short; if they stop to cook and eat, the army won't be able to travel more than a few miles in a day, which would be a huge waste of time.
"Master, I've figured it out now. The items that can automatically replenish supplies are all things you brought from that family. However, aside from guns and ammunition, the consumed items will only be automatically replenished after five days," Eileen said.
"Automatic resupply won't be available for another five days? That means the soldiers will have to cook their own lunch tomorrow?" Nangong Wu frowned slightly.
"There are other snacks too: bread, biscuits, canned goods, sausages, fries, and instant noodles, but no hot water to soak them," Eileen said.
"Eating only these won't be enough." Nangong Wu took out a map to look at.
Just then, Li Feng rode up from the back of the group, dismounted in front of her.
"Your Highness, it's another forty li or so to reach Yanggu City."
"We're almost at Yanggu City." Nangong Wu looked at Yanggu City on the map. It was the second important pass at the northern gateway of the Western Yan Kingdom and the first pass their army had to pass through on its southward march.
"There are 30,000 troops guarding Yanggu City. The commander is Zhuang Jing, who is one of the Crown Prince's men. He is here specifically to keep an eye on our Zhenyuan Army and will definitely not let us pass," Li Feng said.
"If they won't let us pass, we'll just blow up the city gate. It's just a waste of a few rockets," Nangong Wu thought with a sneer.
In both her past and present lives, no one has been able to stop her from going forward.
She pondered for a moment, then said, "Pass the word that we'll have lunch in Yanggu City today."
"Yes," Li Feng replied, and rode away again.
"Li Shuang, Li Cheng, come with me." Nangong Wu called out, put away the map, and mounted her horse, galloping forward.
"drive!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuang and Li Cheng spurred their horses and followed closely behind her.
Today, it's still that same large tracked vehicle that's leading the way.
Nangong Wu ran for more than two miles before stopping.
Li Shuang and Li Cheng, who were behind, also grabbed the horse's reins.
"Whoa!"
With a thought, Nangong Wu brought out the helicopter and said to the two people behind her, "Get on the helicopter, let's go to Yanggu City."
"Your Highness, are the three of us going?" Li Cheng felt that there were too few people going.
"Let's go into the city to make lunch for the soldiers first. We're not going to fight, so why do we need so many people?" Nangong Wu put all three horses into her spatial storage and opened the cabin door.
The helicopter slowly took off.
Li Shuang took out a telescope to check the location of Yanggu City, and then pointed out the direction to Nangong Wu.
The plane flew more than ten kilometers south, and Nangong Wu could see Yanggu City in the distance. She saw many soldiers sweeping snow in front of the city gate, clearing a clearing.
The distance from Lindongguan to Yanggu City is over 400 li, and it took the army three and a half days to reach this point.
On roads like this, you have to travel at least a thousand miles south before the snow thins out.
"Boom..." The helicopter was getting closer and closer to Yanggu City.
The soldiers sweeping snow at the city gate all heard it and looked up.
"Look, what's that? It can actually fly!"
"Oh no, it's a monster! Quickly go back and close the city gates! Go tell General Zhuang..."
