Chapter 329: Bring an extra group of people?

Of course, no one else would know what Yun Shu was thinking.

The court officials unanimously opposed it, but what was puzzling was that Emperor Xuanwu, who had always valued her very much, seemed to have forgotten the dangers on the battlefield.
Directly issue an order for Yunshu to go to Annan with General Weiyuan!
Once the decree is given, there is no turning back.

When the court was dismissed, General Weiyuan looked at her several times, hesitantly wanting to say something, and finally shook his head helplessly:

"Your Highness, if you need anything to prepare, you'd better pack it up as soon as possible. It's best not to bring too many things. If you set out before 3:45 pm, you should be able to reach the next city before dark.

We must ride as fast as we can along the way to Qianzhou first, and then bring reinforcements from there to Yongzhou.

Your Highness must be prepared to endure hardships."

"I know."

The battle situation was urgent. Any delay would increase the danger on the front line. It was already very difficult to give her an hour to prepare.

Yun Shu did not delay General Weiyuan's return to his residence to say goodbye to his wife. After a slight nod, he sent someone to pass a message to the East Palace, asking Tingxue to help her pack her luggage first.

She turned around and went back to the imperial study.

"coming."

When Yunshu entered, Emperor Xuanwu was standing in front of the desk, looking like he was practicing calligraphy.

Yun Shu deliberately leaned forward to take a look and saw the two characters "Ping An" written in a flamboyant style. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled secretly:
"I thought you, Father, really didn't worry about me."

"The future of Tiansheng Jiangshan will be handed over to you. If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about?"

After finishing the last stroke steadily, Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyes and snorted softly:
"But you, your courage is really beyond my expectation."

"Didn't you speak up, Father?"

Yun Shu rarely climbed up the ladder and showed a proud and complacent expression.

Instead, he coughed lightly with some guilt:
"But it was a real battlefield after all. It is impossible to say that I am not afraid at all."

"What do you mean?"

Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows:
"You didn't agree too quickly at the morning court and now regret it, did you?"

"I won't regret it."

After all, she is going to be the empress in the future, how can she be so cowardly?
"I just want to bring a group of extra people to Yongzhou."

"Do you want to bring the Dragon Shadow Guard?"

Emperor Xuanwu guessed for a moment, but did not refuse:

"This trip is indeed somewhat dangerous. I originally intended for you to take a reserve group of Dragon Shadow Guards with you.

Since you mentioned it yourself, I will give you two more active Dragon Shadow Guards."

"Thank you, Father!"

Yun Shu first thanked him with a smile, then shook his head and said:

"I will accept the Dragon Shadow Guard, but this is not what I want to say."

"Oh?"

I didn't expect that Long Yingwei had given two, but still guessed wrong.

Emperor Xuanwu was really curious now:
"Who do you want to take with you?"

“Those from the Ministry of Industry.”

Yun Shu explained seriously:

"I have never been to a battlefield before, so I don't know what a real battle between two armies looks like. Maybe after this trip, I will get some new inspiration in the military camp, and then I may be able to create some new weapons.

But if there are no skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Works following me, even if I have many ideas in my mind, if no one can make it, it will all be in vain!"

"I understand."

Emperor Xuanwu nodded thoughtfully.

The possibility that Xiaowu created a highly lethal weapon in the military camp, leading to Tiansheng's great victory, was indeed much greater than the possibility that she herself was a natural-born general.

Therefore, he must not only give to this skilled craftsman, but also give him the full reward.

"Just people?"

Emperor Xuanwu asked another question:
"Where are the supplies?"

"As for supplies...can you give me more materials for making fireworks?"

Yun Shu seemed to have just thought of it, and said excitedly:
"I have thought about it carefully. Fireworks, which can be put directly into the sky, may be used to transmit signals between armies.

You can discuss in advance what the colors of the fireworks represent.
Then we can change the code every now and then to ensure that the enemy will never guess what we are talking about!"

"It's a good idea. You can discuss the details with General Weiyuan and others when the time comes."

Emperor Xuanwu nodded:

"I will have someone do this later, but these craftsmen will definitely arrive much later than you with all the supplies."

"My son understands!"

Time was running out, so Yun Shu didn't stay in the imperial study for too long. After achieving his goal, he hurried back to the East Palace.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw three large boxes neatly stacked at the door.
Yun Shu was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Ting Xue was directing the eunuchs below to carry out another large box.

She quickly called the man over:
"Are you guys packing this for me?"

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Yunshu coming back, Tingxue's expression changed, and she hurried over to her and asked anxiously:
"Your Highness, why did His Majesty suddenly ask you to go to the battlefield in person?
In a dangerous place like a battlefield, you..."

"Okay, it's not like I'm going to personally take up my sword and kill the enemy."

Yun Shu first said something to comfort her, and then the topic returned to her luggage.

"I sent someone to tell you to pack my luggage in advance. How come you packed so much?"

"Nongzhou is a long way away and a poor place..."

Tingxue bit her lip, her face full of worry:

"Your Highness, have you ever suffered such hardship before? I am really worried."

"That's true, but I'm going to the battlefield, not to travel."

Yun Shu looked at the pile of luggage that was almost taller than her, and the corner of her mouth twitched:
"In less than an hour, I will leave the capital at full speed with General Weiyuan.

You packed so much luggage that I can't even carry it all!"

"Really? Can't you bring it?"

Tingxue's eyes were filled with more worry. She turned around and picked up a small package from a chair beside her, her face full of hesitation:
"In fact, I have also packed a simple small package, but Your Highness, even if you ask someone to send it over later, these things..."

“This is great!”

Seeing that Tingxue was worried about her, but was still reliable, Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief and decisively took the small package:
"Put the rest wherever they belong. I won't need them."
