Chapter 1046: Chapter 1041: Preparing for Battle

"Indeed..." Bai Qingyan nodded, "Tianfeng Kingdom started collecting furs a long time ago, purchased by a merchant named Cui Fengnian from various countries, and shipped to Tianfeng Kingdom. You may recall, the people of Xiliang abandoned farming for lucrative profits from weaving emerald brocade and hunting beasts, it’s said that during that time, the beasts of Xiliang were nearly hunted to extinction."

"This is... well-prepared!" Dong Qingping tightened his fist, feeling worried at heart. Elephants are massive creatures; if they attack the city dressed in armor, the city gates will surely crumble."

"The reason for calling you here is this matter... Our Zhou Kingdom must prepare for war immediately." Bai Qingyan tapped her finger on the table.

The officials stiffened their backs instinctively upon hearing these words from Bai Qingyan and exchanged glances.

"Military deployment requires Minister Shen and Minister of War Zhang to discuss together and come up with a plan promptly! There’s no need to worry about the Rong side; while guarding against unrest in Hancheng, we also need to beware of the Yan Kingdom... Additionally, we should deploy as many troops to the South Border as possible. Please provide a list of usable generals as soon as possible!"

"Shen Jingzhong on orders!"

"Zhang Duanning on orders!"

The two officials clasped their hands in acknowledgment.

"Regarding supply logistics! Zhou Kingdom covers vast lands and often faces natural disasters. It requires Minister Dong and Minister of Revenue Wei to ensure adequate domestic food reserves against potential famines while transporting as much as possible in batches to the South Border for the soldiers! Remember... the soldiers must not go hungry!" Bai Qingyan instructed her uncle and Wei Bugong.

"Dong Qingping on orders!"

"Wei Bugong on orders!"

Both ministers also clasped their hands in acknowledgment.

"Commandant Lu will be stationed here. If any urgent matters cannot be reported to me immediately, consult with... Imperial Master Commandant Lu, then decide and report later."

"Your Majesty..." Commandant Lu abruptly lifted his gaze towards Bai Qingyan, clasping his hands, "May I dare to ask... Is Your Majesty planning to personally lead the campaign to the South Border?"

Bai Qingyan, holding a teacup, rubbed its edges: "For now, I don’t have this plan, Commandant, please don’t worry."

"Your Majesty is pregnant, you mustn’t take risks!" Commandant Lu advised Bai Qingyan, "Rest assured, we have received early news, and judging from the letter sent by General Bai... General Bai should be well prepared! Most of the Bai family’s best generals are already in the South Border; Your Majesty need not personally visit the battlefield! Please consider your heir!"

Dong Qingping nodded repeatedly: "Moreover, Your Majesty is our Zhou’s war god, renowned for being invincible. It serves as a morale booster for Zhou; if you pursue the South Border without assured victory, a defeat would adversely affect our morale!"

Bai Qingyan nodded: "Commandant Lu, uncle, rest assured, I truly don’t have this plan currently."

Dong Qingping relaxed as Bai Qingyan spoke, nodding.

Even though Bai Qingyan is always victorious, she is now pregnant, making it too dangerous to go to war.
