Chapter 225 He is
Shen Chenli looked at the generals sitting in the military tent, and a deep sense of powerlessness came over him.
"The emperor has only prepared half a month's supply of military supplies, and he said the rest will be delivered within half a month."
"what?"
Even Yu Tingwan looked at him.
"Half a month? Damn it, what does the emperor mean? Does he want us to do the same as last time?"
The hot-tempered Li Sheng couldn't help it and started cursing!
We are about to go to war. How can we only prepare for half a month?
What's more, as we all know, food and supplies must be sent before troops move forward.
"My Lord, where is the cotton coat?"
Shen Chenli even shook his head. It was not that he had not tried to fight for it, but that the emperor was just avoiding the issue.
However, he couldn't leave so many brothers here to fight with him, so he had to come back first.
There was silence in the military tent.
They all knew that the emperor was wary of them and the prince, but they didn't expect it to reach this point.
Even the military supplies were cut to such an extent. Didn't he know that if they failed to resist, these barbaric Northern Di people would directly attack the capital?
Finally, this simple handover was over and no one had any idea of what would happen in half a month. They could only take it one step at a time!
After everyone left the military tent, Shen Chenli leaned back heavily, the fatigue on his face no longer concealed.
Yu Tingwan looked at him, was silent for a while, and suddenly said:
"Do you still want to support him?"
Shen Chenli looked at her and smiled bitterly:
"Wanwan, do you know what my father said to me before he passed away?"
Yu Tingwan didn't answer, just looked at him.
Shen Chenli fell into memories.
"My father told me to assist my brother and that he would not do anything to me, so I should just live a good life."
But now...
"Then do you want to resist? Or do you want the subject to die if the king wants him to?"
Shen Chenli looked at her seriously, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"I don't want it. I have never thought about that position. I just want the people of Dasheng to be able to stay away from war and live and work in peace. But he did not fulfill his responsibilities as an emperor!"
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Yu Tingwan's eyes.
"Okay, let me help you."
Since he can't rest in peace, let him be buried!
As things could change at any time on the battlefield, Shen Chenli did not dare to leave the military camp. He originally asked Yu Tingwan to return to the house at the border first, but Yu Tingwan refused.
"I will stay here to help you with the logistics, and then I will accompany you to the battlefield."
"logistics?"
Yu Tingwan nodded. Since what they needed urgently now were food and cotton clothes, was there any need to worry about these with her around?
On the second day, Yu Tingwan went directly to Song Shixu and then to General Sun, who was in charge of military supplies.
"Princess, what is the matter that brought you here?"
General Sun didn't know Yu Tingwan, so he asked Song Shixu, but Shen Chenli had specifically told them about this before they came.
All the princess' orders must be obeyed!
Yu Tingwan waved and asked the two to come closer.
"Here, General Sun, these are all the military supplies we have left in our barracks, right? Including the ones we brought yesterday, they are only enough for one month."
Hearing this, General Sun was startled. He glanced at Song Shixu, who looked calm, and quickly replied.
"Yes, princess."
Your Majesty, did you tell the princess such an important secret of the military camp?
Yu Tingwan nodded slightly without saying anything, just staring at the booklet on the table in a daze.
She remembered that she had asked Shen Chenli last night. Because the border was now too far to the north, the soil was hard and there was a lot of yellow sand. Not to mention food, even many trees could not survive!
The weather is getting colder and colder. If we wait until winter, I'm afraid the whole land will be frozen, and everything will die!
Yu Tingwan thought about it and realized that it was too late to plant anything now, so the things the army needed had to be found elsewhere.
But it’s not true that nothing can be grown!
Thinking of something, Yu Tingwan first picked up a pen and wrote a letter. It must be said that no one can imitate this handwriting!
After finding an envelope and sealing it, Yu Tingwan handed it to An San.
"Hand this over and send it to the farm."
"Yes!"
An San took the order and left.
Yu Tingwan looked at the two people in front of him again.
"General Sun, have you ever thought about making the army self-sufficient?"
General Sun didn't know what the princess was going to do, but he answered as well. He just shook his head helplessly and said:
"Princess, why haven't you thought about this? In our army, most people know how to farm, but the soil here is as hard as stone. When the autumn wind blows, nothing is left. We can't grow anything!"
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan smiled mysteriously.
"It can be planted. General Sun just needs to prepare the manpower and tools in the next two days!"
Then he looked at Song Shixu who had been sitting next to him, and Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows at him.
"Does Prince Song still remember our bet?"
Song Shixu's mouth twitched. How could he not remember it!
"What does the princess want me to do?"
"Nothing, I just want you to find a group of people in the barracks, literate, able to write, and familiar with herbs would be even better. Not too many, about twenty people will be enough."
Literacy? Writing? Knowledge of herbs? Twenty more people?
This is really embarrassing for him!
Not to mention knowing herbs, even the requirement of being able to read and write was something that few soldiers in their barracks knew!
Not to mention that he can write and recognize herbs!
"What is the princess going to do?"
Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Prepare talents for the military camp!"
How can she teach someone who can't read? Can't she start by teaching them how to read?
"Forget it, just find as many as you can. The more the better!"
Yu Tingwan didn't make things difficult for him. Looking at his expression, he knew that there were probably not many people who could read!
This made Yu Tingwan feel that this was not good. He didn't even know he was cheated when he couldn't read! How could he be a general if he couldn't read?
Song Shixu had no choice but to nod and leave.
He had to find it quickly, who knew what else the princess had waiting for him!
"Then I will also take my leave."
Seeing that Song Shixu had left, General Sun could no longer sit still.
Why did you keep him here? It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone!
Yu Tingwan did not try to persuade him to stay and told him to go back and find someone quickly.
Not only does she have to do these things now, but from what Shen Chenli said last night, she knew that this battle would probably take a long time, so she had to prepare early.
Yu Tingwan, who was brainstorming, suddenly heard a different noise coming from outside.
Yu Tingwan looked up and saw that, as expected, it was An Si who had returned.
"My subordinates see you, Princess."
"You've worked hard. Get up and sit down and have some tea."
Unexpectedly, An Si did not sit down, but continued to kneel there.
"Please punish me, my princess. I was incompetent and let that man get away!"
Before he could finish his words, An Si was already blaming himself, thinking that he was too careless!
Yu Tingwan didn't blame him, but just asked him to get up first.
"Get up and tell me slowly. What happened? Why did you come back alone?"
An Si sat down and watched An San come in. He felt more and more uncomfortable. He watched Yu Tingwan say something that shocked him.
"Princess, that man is Young Master Yu!"
