Chapter 1675 Does the Queen Mother Blame Me?

There is no need to transport it to Liangcheng. As long as it is transported to Canglan Town, he can personally take people to transport it back.

Yun Dai also wrote to Zhao Yuanjing, asking the court to transport grain and grass as soon as possible to support the soldiers.

Zhao Yuanjing immediately allocated two million taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs and asked people to purchase food, grass, clothing, and deliver them to the army.

However, after half a month of urging, no food was found, and only two hundred kilograms of charcoal was shipped.

Two hundred thousand troops, two hundred pounds of charcoal?

Enough for what?

In a few days, hundreds of soldiers froze to death.

Yun Dai was extremely angry.

She wrote to Zhao Yuanjing, and Zhao Yuanjing replied that the money, food, grass and clothing from the court had been distributed long ago, but they could not reach the hands of the soldiers.

There are many hands to go through in this process.

Don't worry, it's those corrupt officials who are at work again.

Yun Dai was itching with hatred, but she had no choice but to do her best to raise food, fodder, and charcoal fire for the soldiers.

After staying up for a few days, the snow finally stopped. When it melted enough to drive, Zhao Shu made a decisive decision to leave 50,000 soldiers to garrison Liangcheng and the remaining 150,000 troops to immediately withdraw to Canglan Town.

Among them, one hundred thousand troops were transferred from various garrison posts in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The King of Qin paid generous military salaries and allowed them to return to their respective garrison posts.

It's hard work to fight a war, and it's freezing, so it's time to pay more.

As soon as the military pay was issued, the quartermaster of King Qin began to complain, saying that there was no money at all in his account.

Although 100,000 soldiers were dispersed, the 50,000 soldiers in Liangcheng and the 50,000 soldiers in Canglan Town still had to be maintained.

It is getting colder and colder in the north of Saibei. Food and charcoal fire are in short supply. Many soldiers are injured and sick, and medicine is not enough.

Before leaving, Yun Dai said goodbye to Queen Mother Rong.

Queen Mother Rong was always calm.

"Mother, I'm going to say goodbye. I don't know when we will see each other again." Yun Dai said.

"Although you are the princess of Qi, you are already married after all. Even if we can't meet each other again in this life, it is normal." Empress Dowager Rong said calmly, "It shows that you can come back this time and see your father for the last time. You are a kind and kind child. That is enough."

Yun Dai said: "I mainly do it for my brother's sake."

"The Ai family knows." Queen Mother Rong looked a little moved when she heard her mention Xiao Ziye, and her eyes were slightly red. "He has always been weak. He has been married for many years and has not left any blood. Qi State...it is really difficult for the heirs to fall. It is God’s will to reach this point now.”

Yun Dai said softly: "Does the Queen Mother blame me?"

Queen Mother Rong shook her head: "Why do you blame me? Even if you don't do this, Qi's current situation will not last for a few days. Rather than being captured in a cruel war, it would be better to resolve it peacefully."

Yun Dai said: "I'm so happy that my mother can understand me. The Jiuli tribe is too close to here, and they are eyeing it. If Northern Qi does not submit to the Zhou Dynasty, it will be in danger sooner or later."

"The Ai family also knows what you are thinking. Your heart is always towards the Kingdom of Zhou." Empress Dowager Rong said softly, "That's okay. After all, you grew up in the Kingdom of Zhou and married the emperor of the Kingdom of Zhou."

Yun Dai lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, it's Ye'er who insists on letting you come back. The Ai family only hopes that after you go back, you can always advise the Emperor of Zhou and ask him to treat our people of Qi kindly."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely do it." Yun Dai said seriously, "The territory of Da Qi will not be damaged. I only hope that Northern Qi, following the emperor of Da Zhou, can quell the war and live a good life with plenty of food and clothing."
