Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 1312

Chapter 1312 Expedition
His goal at Xinzhou was to hold it, yet the King had bestowed too few forces and if they were cut down due to the terrible weather and long trip, they were definitely going to be in a terrible position.
Zhou Huaijin was also frowning and had been really worried even when they reached Tongzhou.
On the official path from Tongzhou to Bingzhou, the road had been bumpy. So when they reached Bingzhou, they slowed down obviously.
When they slowed down, Zhou Huaijin had some time to exchange a few words with Gu Chaoyan.
!!
“Lingzhou is around the corner and we still have a long way to go after that. Look at the snow right now. We have to arrive at Xinzhou as soon as possible, but there will be at least 200 people who will have to stay behind due to the weather and sickness.”
“…”
“We are in a very terrible situation, especially against the North Qi. Everyone is important to us, and reducing the number of soldiers will be a huge loss for us!”
“…”
“We have to walk some extra distance today, even overnight, otherwise we will lose a lot of people on the way there,” Zhou Huaijin said to Gu Chaoyan.
Since he already took Chaoyan with him to Xinzhou, he was telling her what was going on here directly.
He would like to hear her opinion.
Hearing what Zhou Huaijin said, Gu Chaoyan could not help but frown.
There were quite a few people who had been injured, so what they needed to do right now was not to lose anyone on the road.
They would spend the whole night continuing, since the situation at the border was not looking good, but in the meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan hoped that they would not lose anyone on the road.
She thought for a while and said, “Let’s continue to walk, but we should take a few more breaks during the day.”
“…”
“And during the break, me and Li Qing as well as our team-members will make some medical soup, so that they could drink one bowl each. In this way, they could feel better and no one would get sick.”
“…”
“I can promise that when we reach Xinzhou, we will not lose more than 20 people due to sickness!”
Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said… Zhou Huaijin’s eyes sparkled.
He had estimated that maybe they would, conservatively speaking, lose hundreds of people, but what Chaoyan said was that they would lose no more than 20.
That was a huge gap between their guesses, but for them, that was a thing worth being happy about.
And according to how Chaoyan put it, the whole thing should work!
Zhou Huaijin was really delighted. He smiled and said, “Okay, Chaoyan, we will do as you say – we rest a few more times within the day!”
“…”
“When we go past Bingzhou, we will have Lingzhou waiting for us. Lingzhou is a very smooth area, so when we reach the end of Bingzhou, we can take a break and prepare some medical soup,” Zhou Huaijin said with a smile.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
Then they continued forward.
