Chapter 107 The Eve of Reunion
Inside the high-speed rail base.
The signalman quickly dismounted and rushed in, his face pale and he said breathlessly: "General, something big...something big...it's not good!"
Gao Tie replied calmly: "We will be able to take down Da Zhou soon. There is nothing to be afraid of. Look at you, you are such a coward!"
The signalman continued, "Yunzhou... City... has been lost... and the food... supply route... has been cut off!"
Gao Tie couldn't believe his ears: "What?! Someone, give him a bowl of water first! Drink it and then try again!"
The soldier quickly handed over a bowl of water, and the signalman drank it in two gulps. He paused, cupped his hands and said, "General, Yunzhou City has been lost, and our food supply has been cut off!"
Gao Tie's face turned pale instantly: "How is it possible... Where did the army come from..."
Hearing this shocking news, Gao Tie widened his eyes and frowned. It was obvious that this news was a heavy blow to him.
The loss of Yunzhou City and the interruption of food supply had an extremely serious impact on their war situation.
The signalman replied: "General, this is a country called Dabai!"
"How is this possible? I've never heard of it? What kind of a weird name is this!" General Gao Tie muttered to himself, his voice revealing disbelief and confusion.
The signalman was also confused: "General, we are still not very clear about the situation of this Dabai Dynasty, and we don't know where it came from!"
Gao Tie was puzzled: "If they want to take over Yunzhou City, they will need a lot of troops. How can so many people hide so tightly?"
He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement. He knew that he couldn't panic at this moment. As a general, he had to stay calm and make the right decision for the next battle.
"Call all the generals immediately!" General Gao Tie ordered decisively, "We need to reassess the situation and formulate a new strategic plan."
The headquarters quickly became busy. The messengers rode their horses at full speed to convey the orders to the generals. Soon, the generals arrived one after another, with solemn expressions on their faces, and they obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.
In the meeting hall, General Gao Tie looked around at the generals present, and then slowly spoke: "Everyone, now that Yunzhou City has been lost and the food supply has been cut off, our military rations can only last for a few days. Now the army can only retreat and find a way to retake Yunzhou City!"
The generals nodded in agreement. One of them stood up and said, "General, I think we should first find out the situation of this team before we can make plans!"
General Gao Tie nodded slightly after hearing this: "I have sent scouts to get information. In the current situation, we can only attack quickly, otherwise there may be a mutiny at any time. You must deploy quickly!"
"promise!"
Inside Nanrong Mansion.
Nan Rongchen was still handing the boiled medicine to Nan Rongjie, and comforted him, "Dad, maybe Sister Xi will be blessed by fate. There is no news about her yet, so don't worry too much!"
Nan Rongjie took the bowl and drank slowly with a spoon. He looked much older. His beloved daughter was missing and he was unable to sleep or eat.
As usual, Nan Rongyu tried to divert Nan Rongjie's attention and told him the latest news: "Dad, I heard that there is a Dabai Dynasty that raided the rear of the Gaotie. The Great Zhou is now saved!"
Nan Rongjie asked weakly: "Then...is there any news about your...sister?"
After hearing this, Nan Rongyu remained silent.
At this time, the servant hurriedly came to report: "Master, there is a general outside who claims to be from the Dabai Dynasty and wants to see you urgently!"
Hearing this, Nan Rongyu was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself: "What?! Dabai Dynasty! Now they are the honored guests of Dazhou!"
Nan Rongjie waved his hand and signaled the servant to let someone in: "Let him in, a large army has taken over Yunzhou City, maybe they have news about Ah Xi!"
Not long after the servant hurriedly left, the majestic general Cui Ying slowly entered the hall. He had a firm gaze and a calm demeanor, but when he saw Nan Rongjie, he knelt on both knees and kowtowed respectfully, saying, "I am Cui Ying, and I pay my respects to the emperor!"
This scene shocked the three people in the hall. They looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
Nan Rongjie's face was full of confusion: "Emperor Retired? What on earth are you talking about?!"
Cui Ying remained kneeling, speaking in a low and sincere voice: "Your Majesty, I am the Left General of Dabai. The current emperor of Dabai is your daughter. As for the emperor's name, I dare not mention it casually."
Nan Rongjie stood up in shock and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?! The emperor you are talking about is our daughter Nan Rongxi?!"
Nan Rongyu and Nan Rongchen on the side were so shocked that they were speechless. How could Nan Rongxi go to the border to join the army and become the emperor?
Cui Ying replied calmly: "Your Majesty, it is indeed so!"
Damn, what a name?!
This style really looks like his daughter!
When Nan Rongjie heard this, the color instantly returned to his face, and he said excitedly: "That's great, Axi is fine, Axi is really fine!" His voice was full of joy and relief, as if a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Nan Rongyu and Nan Rongchen also gradually showed relieved smiles on their faces. During this period of time, they had tried their best to find out about Nan Rongxi, but they had never found anything, and they were inevitably anxious.
Nan Rongyu said calmly: "General Cui, could you please take us to see Xi'er?"
Cui Ying turned to Nan Rongyu and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, of course. As long as it is your order, I will obey it unconditionally. In addition, we have fully communicated with the Great Zhou, and everything has been arranged."
Nan Rongjie asked with great excitement: "General Cui, since everything is ready, when will we set off for Dabai?"
Cui Ying replied: "Your Majesty, I have arranged the itinerary. We can set off early tomorrow morning to reunite with the Emperor at Dabai."
Upon hearing this, Nan Rongjie's face showed an irrepressible joy. He turned to Nan Rongyu and Nan Rongchen and said, "That's great! Yu'er, Chen'er, you two must pack your bags and ask for leave from the court. We are going to Dabai together to reunite with Axi!"
Nan Rongyu and Nan Rongchen smiled at each other. They felt the urgency and expectation in their father's words. They both responded in unison: "Yes, father. We will prepare now and submit a petition for leave to the court."
As the night deepened, everyone in Nanrong Mansion became busy, making careful preparations for the upcoming journey.
