    There is a short guard in the Longxi King’s tent. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is a delicate girl.

    When Gaoyan Xuanren came in, Hua Jinren was sitting on the couch and taking a nap.

    “Your Majesty, I’m going to take shelter behind the screen.” Hua Jin has been on the road for several days and has just recovered from a serious illness. Even Gao Yan’s iron-clad body can’t bear it, let alone She.

    When Hua Jin stood up, she couldn’t help but hold her forehead. Gao Yan held her waist and pushed her back to the couch: “No, you sit here. Are you hungry? I’ll let Yang Su cook you something.”

    Gao Yan had been dealing with the Tatars for several years and had already learned the Tatar trick. He did not talk about drinking blood from the flesh, but he carried salted dried meat when marching and used it as military food, which could temporarily relieve the pressure of transporting food and grass.

    The dried meat naturally didn’t taste good. Gao Yan was afraid that Hua Jin wouldn’t be used to it, so he asked Yang Su to make a fire.

    Hua Jin shook his head, but Yang Suduo was a man of foresight and walked out of the tent without any further instructions from Gao Yan.

    Gao Yan had something to discuss, and several of his generals were stunned when they saw Hua Jin in the tent. Looking at the situation, Gao Yan didn’t seem to have any intention of letting her out.

    Guo Chengyi was an impatient man. When he saw this, he opened his mouth and said: “Your Majesty…”

    Letting Tian Xing hold him by his side, Guo Chengyi looked at Gao Yan’s face and fell silent for an instant.

    Gao Yan looked worried, and finally calmed down a bit before saying, “It doesn’t matter, everyone in the tent is someone I trust, so just say what you have to say.”

    Most of the generals present were careless and regarded Gaoyan as a god. After he said this, a few people stopped worrying about it, thinking that they were just some pretty women. The prince liked to pamper her, but he didn’t like to kill her.

    Only Tian Xing looked at Hua Jin quietly for a moment with an inquiring gaze.

    Hua Jin noticed it, followed his eyes, and smiled at the other party, but she didn’t feel shy at all.

    An ordinary woman would be so frightened that she wouldn’t even dare to raise her head when she saw this room of warriors who were eager to test their horses and swords. Who would have such courage as her?

    Your Majesty, this woman is not simple!

    The army has been marching in Tatar territory for several days.

    Borrowing from Tatar is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, which will not last long. Even if Gao Yan had made an agreement with Timur before, he would not be able to trust him completely.

    Gaoyan had already reserved his hand, and Timur now had too much time to take care of himself. After Jirigrad, the Tatar tribe began to get ready to take action, and their thoughts became active.

    Gao Yan wanted to bypass the Great Wall from the Hetao Plain and go straight to the capital via Taiping Guard. Xiao Fangye now thought that Gao Yan was trapped in the Tatar territory. Even if he noticed it, he was caught off guard. Taiyuan and Pingyang Prefecture were far apart and could not form a siege.

    Hua Jin was sitting on the couch, flipping through her storybook. On the desk was a map that Gao Yan personally sent to survey, and he was discussing something with someone.

    “Your Majesty, the army has been running for dozens of days, and the food supply in the rear has gradually become scarce. Although we can barely make it to the capital, we are afraid that our army’s morale has been depleted and we will not be able to fight for a few more days.”

    Food and grass have always been the top priority in expeditions. Yao Gui knew this very well before, so he wanted to trap Gaoyan in the desert and force Gaoyan to fight to the death.

    You must know that when Emperor Jing Zhao burned down the palace, Gao Yan hoarded food and wages and prepared for it for three years.

    “Tian Xing, tell me.” Gao Yan stood in front of the case with his hands behind his hands.

    Tian Xing looked troubled. The king of Longxi was strict in running the army, but in fact almost no army could avoid “confiscation” to solve the supply problem. The so-called “confession” was actually robbery.

    Xiao Fangye was not like this when he fought all the way to the capital.

    But Tian Xing knew Gao Yan’s nature well, so he could only say: “My subordinates think it is not appropriate to reduce the consumption of war horses appropriately.”

    “It’s inappropriate.” Before Gao Yan could say anything, another general had already objected, “This will only waste more manpower and delay my march.”

    If they are not allowed to rob, the army will not be able to produce food. If we negotiate like this, we are afraid that we will not be able to come up with a result tomorrow.

    Gao Yan never spoke.

    Hua Jin glanced at the map on the desk, and in just a moment, Gao Yan took a look at it.

    “What do you think?”

    The military tent suddenly became quiet. The little woman didn’t realize it at first, but when she realized something was wrong, she turned to look at Gao Yan, and was startled. It turned out that Gao Yan’s words were actually addressed to her.
