CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 468: YOU ARE NOT COWARDS, BUT EAGLES

At the very least, Pei Shu’er was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and at the same time, she was also the most captivating and extraordinary woman.

Pei Shu’er originally wanted to say that the Dazi would attack the Gulan Military Camp in a few days, but Tang Zan stopped her, leaving her bewildered.

Never mind the timing of the Dazi attack, she almost forgot her own surname.

Early the next morning, when Pei Shu’er got out of bed, her waist still ached heavily.

Tang Zan’s vigor was beyond anything human.

Tang Zan, however, was refreshed and had already washed up. He came over from the bathroom with a smile on his face, looking at Pei Shu’er.

"Let’s go have breakfast first; then we’ll make a trip back to the Deserted Mountain. Mother said she’s been missing you lately."

Chen Yun, watching, ground her teeth in anger and immediately threw a pillow at him.

Tang Zan laughed heartily, pulling Pei Shu’er into his embrace.

"Don’t be angry, my lady; I’ll give you a bath."

Pei Shu’er: "...No need."

If she let Tang Zan help her bathe, what good could come of it?

However, she couldn’t win against his stubbornness, though Tang Zan wasn’t so brutish as to be intolerable.

But Pei Shu’er still suffered a lot.

As they went to eat, many soldiers couldn’t help but follow Pei Shu’er with their eyes, and even some commanders had a different glance at her.

Those unaware of the inside story thought Pei Shu’er had come to escort supplies, as she didn’t seem like someone who could provide so many resources.

A few months ago, she had donated so many resources, and now she had done so again.

Even knowing that Pei Shu’er had a shop now, it didn’t seem like she’d make much money.

Even if she were making money, she couldn’t buy that much.

Yesterday, it was too late, and some commanders who knew the details didn’t say much.

It wasn’t until today’s morning exercises that the commanders told the soldiers.

The commanders had known since last night, but the soldiers only learned today.

In an instant, everyone couldn’t quite say what they felt.

The General’s Wife had spent so much money; how much had she spent to provide so many resources?

It wasn’t just about money; after donating so much, the General’s Wife might be very financially stretched, possibly even in debt.

When some soldiers saw Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan, they immediately lined up to serve them food.

Later, as more food was placed before Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan, Pei Shu’er smiled and told the soldiers to take it back and eat it themselves, not to waste the grain.

The soldiers turned away, but soon turned back.

With tears in their eyes, they all bowed to Pei Shu’er, their voices loud and in unison.

"Thank you, General’s Wife."

Pei Shu’er smiled softly.

"You are heroes. I cannot let you shed both blood and tears."

Moreover, if the quality of the Gulan Military Camp does not improve, it will be difficult to withstand the reorganized Dazi.

A hundred thousand troops, with Dazi being physically strong, each of them as robust as a bear.

By this ratio, the Gulan Military Camp actually needs two hundred thousand troops to counter the Tazi Camp.

But now, there are only a hundred and twenty thousand, and the vast majority are new recruits.

So, the supply of resources must be in place, otherwise if the Gulan Military Camp falls, then the Deserted Mountain behind, along with Su County and Jingzhou, won’t have much heavy defense.

It’s very likely to be problematic.

Pei Shu’er’s words touched the people of the Gulan Military Camp.

The General’s Wife genuinely respected them, not treating them as mere tools of war like others would.

As Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan left the mess hall, more soldiers gathered around, their eyes reddened, and some secretly wiped away tears.

The past few days, there hadn’t been any food to eat, and during those days, they understood what darkness meant.

In their despair, thinking the large camp would resort to cannibalism, Pei Shu’er, as if she’d heard their prayers, descended from the heavens, bringing so many resources to them.

In their hearts, what she brought was not merely supplies, but hope, life.

It was Pei Shu’er who pulled them out of such despairing emotions.

Otherwise, for such a large military camp to have no food would have been terrifying.

As Pei Shu’er walked away, the soldiers knelt on one knee before her, a spontaneous gesture yet perfectly coordinated.

"Long and arduous journey, Lady Pei, you have worked hard."

Typically, when a woman marries, she takes the husband’s surname.

But now, they referred to her as Lady Pei, indicating her status in their hearts.

She was not anyone’s appendage.

She was herself, she was Pei Shu’er.

She was Pei Shu’er, revered by everyone in the Gulan Military Camp.

And all those resources were worth tens of thousands of silver liang.

You must know that in these days, prices were not high, and generally, a shop earning a hundred silver liang a year was already considerable.

But Pei Shu’er, she had only been away for three or four months, yet she had brought so much money.

No matter how much money she had before, it’s evident how hard she worked during this time.

Soldiers placed their right hands over their hearts, nodding slightly, a gesture in Dayan second only to complete prostration.

"Lady Pei, thank you for your generosity, without you, there would be no us."

These words might have seemed exaggerated before, but now, they weren’t exaggerated at all.

Tang Zan stood by, watching without stopping them, nor did he feel jealous; instead, he felt proud of Pei Shu’er.

When Pei Shu’er was in Jingzhou City, she worked much harder than he did. Sometimes when he finished his tasks, Pei Shu’er was still busy.

He had to help Pei Shu’er with her work.

He used to wonder why Pei Shu’er worked so hard for money; now he knew it was for these bear-like men.

He felt a bit jealous.

Pei Shu’er was touched by the sincere emotions of these soldiers.

She immediately raised her voice: "Our Gulan soldiers protect our homeland. Even if I, Pei Shu’er, have to save on food, everyone must have something to eat, otherwise, how would we not chill the hearts of heroes?"

The soldiers were even more moved in their eyes.

Pei Shu’er smiled: "I get everyone’s gratitude, but please disperse and return to your positions."

The soldiers obediently got up and returned to their queues.

Pei Shu’er called out behind them: "Our Dayan men are not cowards, not weaklings, but tigers and eagles!"

"Stand up straight!"

Some hunch-backed soldiers instinctively straightened their backs.

Indeed, they were eagles, not cowards!

They should soar the skies, not be suffocated by tens of thousands of Dazi.

Hadn’t Tang Zan already led them to so many victories? What was there to fear?

Just go for it.

They wanted to live like real people!

At least, not to betray the supplies that Pei Shu’er provided.
