The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Just as Tang Baobao successfully secured the supplies, Shen Zhian was also making rapid progress.

"I knew it. Even as the leader of an all-female army, there would still be expenses. Thankfully..."

Shen Zhian held a large wad of silver notes, a smug look on his face: "Fortunately, during my marriage with Zhou Buzhang, I secretly saved up a lot of money behind his back, otherwise I would be in a real bind right now."

With money in hand, securing provisions becomes much easier.

After all, Yunjing had promoted highly productive crops such as sweet potatoes in its early years, so compared with the rest of Da Yu, it was much more abundant in terms of food supplies.

Even though war has broken out and many places have been affected, Shen Zhian knows people, has channels, and most importantly, has money, so it is still easy for him to buy food and supplies.

Especially grains and forages made primarily of sweet potatoes.

However, the price is much higher than usual.

"It's worth it if we can complete the task!"

"Let's finish the mission as quickly as possible. That way, when we get back, I can show off to the other girls. Just for that reason alone, spending all that money is totally worth it!"

Shen Zhian's plan was very shrewd.

She immediately spent lavishly on various purchases, and within a few days, all the required provisions were in place. She then led her all-female army to transport them to the all-female army camp.

Tang Baobao and Shen Zhian each have their own methods, and Gu Qingyue, as the true organizer of the all-female army, also has her own tricks.

That very day, he led hundreds of elite soldiers and galloped in one direction. A day later, they arrived at a place that was like a paradise. Even though there was chaos and war outside, this place was peaceful and prosperous.

She was used to this and went straight to the vermilion gate in the city. When she arrived, the two characters "Chen Mansion" on the plaque above the gate were so bright that they hurt her eyes.

Without wasting words, Gu Qingyue, still on horseback, called out to the inside.

"Please tell Jiang You Chen Lang that I, Gu Qingyue, have arrived."

As soon as the sound was heard, the butler hurriedly opened the door and invited Gu Qingyue in as if she were a VIP.

"Miss Gu, you've finally arrived."

"My young master has missed you for a long time."

"Please come in, please come in."

Gu Qingyue smiled slightly, a smug look on her face, and stepped inside, casually asking, "I've come this time to find some provisions for the army..."

Before he could finish speaking, the steward said, "Miss Gu, you can rest assured about such trivial matters as provisions. The Chen family has a great deal of influence here. A little bit of provisions is nothing to us."

"My young master will be overjoyed if you come. He will do everything in his power to provide provisions for your million-strong army."

Gu Qingyue felt increasingly relieved and stopped talking before going inside. As expected, her concern about the monthly food supply for the entire female army of 60,000 was resolved without any problems.

They not only solved the problem of food supplies, but also competed for priority.

"Let's get the supplies back first, and let the other sisters be envious of me first."

Everyone has their own methods, and each of the beauties has their own way of finding supplies. Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displays their unique abilities, but Ning Wanqin is completely clueless.

"Where am I supposed to get supplies?"

"If we were in the Jiangbei fortress complex, Lu Chaosheng could help me find a solution. But we're almost at Zijin Pass now, what should I do?"

"Should we go back and find Lu Chaosheng again?"

"No, he's changed. He's changed now. He only wants my body and he's no longer sincere with me."

Ning Wanqin is devastated.

"But where am I supposed to get supplies now?"

"Fine, fine, if it doesn't work, let's just use the dumbest method."

"Take the soldiers and search house by house."

"As long as there is a suitable opportunity, whether it's a promise or a price, we must always make sure the provisions are complete."

Ning Wanqin was forced into a corner, so she had no choice but to deal with it in a way that forced her into a corner.

But this method... does have some effect.

After all, given the all-female army configuration, Ning Wanqin had 10,000 men under her command. Many of these men wore light armor and carried weapons. Even though they were all women, they were still a formidable force to ordinary people.

Soldiers followed, and swords were in hand.

How could we not get the provisions?

By conscripting rural people and negotiating with powerful manors, Ning Wanqin "helped" merchants. Over time, she not only obtained grain but also strengthened her own power.

only……

Their methods weren't as upright and honorable as the entire female army claimed, and their moral standards weren't high!

But no matter how you look at it...

"The food has arrived."

"Then we can go back and report!"

Ning Wanqin breathed a sigh of relief and returned with the provisions.

As soon as I returned to the military camp, I heard the boasting of the other three commanders.

"It's just a little bit of grain and fodder. I won't ask for more. With what I, Tang Baobao, brought back, it's enough to supply the entire female army for three months, or even half a year."

"The Commander-in-Chief is indeed extraordinary. However, I, Shen Zhian, also brought back two months' worth of provisions, which can be considered as exceeding the mission target. I will have to mention my contribution to General Zhang Shi later, so that General Zhang Shi can know how remarkable I am."

"Hehe, my two younger sisters are truly remarkable, having amassed quite a bit of grain. But I, Gu Qingyue, am different. Not only have I amassed enough grain for more than three months, but also... a considerable amount of weapons, armor, and warhorses. I wonder how astonished General Zhang Shi will be when we meet him?"
