The more troublesome loss was the warhorses, which could not be easily retrained overnight. The clan best at raising and taming horses in the Great Wasteland was the Gaoyang Clan, but since they were close blood relatives of Cang Xuan, there was no way they would sell horses to Princess Jing during such a head-on confrontation.
Learning her lesson this time, Xiao Yanzhuan worked day and night, actively contacting Central Plains clans such as the Tushan Clan and the Clan Lirong, along with the Chenrong Clan and the Chishui Clan, managing to gather half the required number within a few days. Upon hearing that the army had been attacked, the King of Haoling immediately sent men to deliver war horses, barely making up the deficit.
That day, Xiaoyao held the inventory of medicinal herbs, weapons, and other supplies sent by her Royal Father along with the horses, and kept shaking her head in exclamation: This cheap Royal Father of hers truly was the best Royal Father under the heavens. Although Haoling was wealthy, to gather such a large quantity in such a short time and have it delivered to the front lines so quickly must have cost her father no small amount of effort, labor, and wealth.
