Chapter 435 Attacking Southern Liang
The two appeared in the space, and Yu Tingwan brought Shen Chenli to the armory and laboratory.
"Although we use these things more often in war, we also have to defend the capital. After all, if someone really launches a sneak attack at this time, we will be out of reach."
Shen Chenli also nodded. He was not afraid of these. The only thing he was worried about was that if the people of Nanliang secretly bypassed them and poisoned various places in Dasheng, that would be the most troublesome.
Now Yu Tingwan should place more precautionary measures in Beijing, which is indeed what he should do.
"The main thing is to put more antidotes. Lu Ming has a lot of explosives, and he will also find a suitable place outside the capital for him to continue research and development."
Yu Tingwan listened to his slow explanation while taking out all the usable things outside and putting them into a wooden box beside him.
Not only some guns and medicines, but also a lot of very practical ropes, bayonets and other items were taken out.
Under the current circumstances, it would be a waste if these things were not used. She couldn't use them all by herself anyway, so it would be better to take them all out.
Shen Chenli also went outside and gave them a lot of spring water and stream water, and also took out a lot of fresh and precious medicinal herbs.
After sorting out all these things, the two of them left the space and placed all these things in what has now become their private vault.
Looking at this private vault, Yu Tingwan sighed slightly.
I think she took out a lot of good things from here!
Unexpectedly, this place would eventually become hers. Not only that, she would have to replenish the good things she fished out with her!
This is also an interesting thing.
The next day, everyone had packed up and the new emperor Shen Chenli was about to lead the army to set off. All affairs of the court and the capital were handed over to the Duke of Fuguo and Old Jiang for their assistance.
The civil and military officials and common people of the capital filled the streets early in the morning, while Shen Chenli, Yu Tingwan and others, wearing armor, led the generals out of the city.
The people along the way looked at their heroic and imposing emperor who was leading his troops personally to fight against the Southern Liang who was causing trouble in their capital. Everyone stood excitedly on both sides of the street, shouting slogans such as "Long live the emperor" and "The emperor will win!"
Even the ministers were moved by this scene, and looking at the emperor in front of them, they felt deeply moved.
Never before had an emperor travelled with such grandeur.
No, the emperor in the past would not choose to lead the army in person. It was good enough that he did not give away the land of Dasheng!
Yu Tingwan also looked at the cheering people around her. For a moment, she thought that they were not going to war, but had just returned triumphantly!
However, this also shows the people's trust in Da Sheng, in the army, and in Shen Chenli's ability to lead troops.
When the army arrived at the city gate, the scene became quiet for a moment. Yu Tingwan and the others turned around and looked at the people who were seeing them off. The Duke of Fuguo, Grand Tutor Jiang, Marquis Ruyang, other ministers, members of the Jiang family, the eldest princess, and others, as well as Song Shixu and others, all stared at them with pride and worry in their eyes.
Shen Chenli and the other man smiled at each other, then looked at them again.
"Please rest assured, I will lead all the soldiers back in triumph. I will leave the affairs of the court to the Duke and the Grand Tutor!"
The two people who were named bowed solemnly and promised:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will not let you down. Your Majesty and the Imperial Master, please take care of your health and safety is your top priority."
As long as they are okay, there won't be any other problems.
The two men nodded slowly, then looked at Song Shixu, nodded at him, and slowly turned their horses' heads.
Song Shixu knew clearly in his heart that what the emperor had told him before was that there were many things kept in the private vault, and he was asked to check it after they left, and take them out if necessary later.
He knew that there must be valuable things put there by the princess. He would go and take a look later. Why was he feeling a little excited when he thought about it?
This also made up for his regret of not being able to go to the war!
Yu Tingwan and his companions led an army of 500,000 and marched southwards. During the march, they had to pass through three counties. However, the army did not plan to stay for too long and headed straight for the border with Southern Liang!
Moreover, in order to ensure that the army could reach the border as quickly as possible and not disturb the lives of the people of Da Sheng, the army took the wide official roads and would never enter the city unless necessary.
Even though officials in all the major cities knew that the emperor would personally lead the army through their counties, they all performed their duties and did not cause any trouble.
Five days were spent on the journey. The closer to the border, the more difficult the journey became. The south is mostly mountainous and forested. Even though there are country roads regulated by the court, the numerous mountains and forests make travel increasingly difficult and is not suitable for a large army to move forward.
Even so, the army still chose to move forward bravely, because they knew that the road ahead would not be easy.
And just as they were moving forward, Nanliang finally received the news.
Nanliang is different from other places. Most of them live in tribal groups, with the high priest as the leader and the saint woman as the respected. Not only that, all of their people know how to raise Gu. Even though their military strength is insufficient compared to other countries, their Gu technique has enabled them to remain invincible in the four-way struggle for hegemony for so many years.
However, due to their limited numbers and the fact that Da Sheng is indeed strong enough, they have been suppressed for so many years. But looking back now, they may have some ideas about competing for the world.
"You said you received news that the new ruler of Dasheng is personally leading an army to attack our Nanliang?"
The high priest, who had just returned to Nanliang, looked much more solemn when he received the news.
Ever since he used poison on Prince Chen and his men but was defeated by Prince Chen's wife, he brought his people back to Southern Liang first. Moreover, he has been able to confirm that the insects and poison in the body of Prince Chen, now the new emperor of Da Sheng, have been removed.
If his guess was correct, the person who could detoxify should be the Princess of Prince Chen who had fought with him, captured their Saint, and killed the Young Master of the Poison Doctor Sect!
What an amazing woman!
Even he had to admit that this woman was indeed powerful, but it was a pity that she was not from Southern Liang.
The high priest frowned and thought for a moment before asking:
"Do you know where they are now?"
"High Priest, the Dasheng army is less than a hundred kilometers away from the border. They can arrive in two days by traveling day and night. There are about 500,000 soldiers and horses, but we only have more than 200,000 troops at the border. What should we do?"
The visitor was very anxious. Their Nanliang was a small country, really small, mainly because of its small population. The total military strength of the entire Nanliang was only 400,000, and the total population of Nanliang was only about 5 million. If it were not for the poisonous insects, their Nanliang would have been annexed by other countries long ago.
