Chapter 52 Departure

Emperor Wen thought about it all night, but finally let Jun Jiuning join the army sent from the capital to the border.

Because the frontline war was tight, the army set off on the second day after the discussion of the Golden Palace.

Emperor Wen personally went to Ningxiang Hall to pick up Jun Jiuning and sent it to the gate of the capital.

Jun Jiuning is wearing a cold armor today, and her cloak is bright red like blood. She no longer wears her complex bun when she was in the palace, but simply tied up her high ponytail, simple and neat.

Emperor Wen saw Jun Jiuning like this for the first time, and his mind shook.

My little daughter, who grew up little by little under her nose, can now stand alone.

He sighed heavily.

Although Emperor Wen was handsome, his eyebrows and eyes were always sharp. Facing Jun Jiuning at this time, he had lost his majesty and a simple father who was worried about his daughter who was about to travel far away.

"Ning'er, this trip cannot be said to be extremely dangerous, but it is also full of dangers. The father appreciates your bravery, but I also hope you can be safe. Now, I only have two children left with you and Qingli, and I don't want to send a black-haired man to another person."

The wind was cold today. Jun Jiuning looked at Emperor Wen’s gentle and loving eyes, and felt warm in his heart, and nodded obediently.

Looking at Jun Jiuning's well-behaved look, Emperor Wen's reluctance was even more. He actually didn't want Jun Jiuning to go to the frontier and participate in the war between Chu and Zhao, but what Jun Qingli said yesterday really touched him.

Even if there were major generals in Chu, they were afraid of their hands and feet when leading troops to fight, and they always lacked the will to fight and were unable to achieve the situation. This led to the situation where King Ning took over the power in the army.

Now that King Ning has given up his promise, no one in the army can support the position of inspiring fighting spirit. Judging from the current situation, perhaps Jun Jiuning can make up for this aspect.

So there were two reasons why he finally agreed to let Jun Jiuning go to the frontier. One was to demonstrate the royal family's importance to frontier wars and inspire the morale of the army. The other was to allow Jun Jiuning to take the lead in the army and stimulate those generals who were afraid of moving forward and had too many concerns.

Her identity as a woman may bring a lot of doubts, and at the same time it can mobilize men's desire to win and lose.

Jun Jiuning knew Emperor Wen's painstaking efforts, patted his chest, raised his head and agreed confidently: "Don't worry, Father, my son will not only protect the State of Chu, but also protect himself. When my son is over, come and ask for reward from my father!"

It was not Jun Jiuning who deliberately bragged, but she guessed that this border dispute between Chu and Zhao would still win in the end.

After all, Chu State is also a major country with the second most powerful strength among the seven countries after Liang State. If Zhao State defeated Chu State in this battle, then the power of the seven countries will be reshuffled, and there will be constant disputes at that time, which will be a devastating blow to the original plot.

Therefore, Jun Jiuning drew a big cake for Emperor Wen based on her own inference, and she was unwilling to leave a way out for herself. No matter what the original intention was, she would never lose.

Emperor Wen was both relieved and doubtful when he heard Jun Jiuning's tone that he was determined to win.

It is a good thing for her daughter to be full of confidence, but has she thought the war between the two countries too simple?

But Emperor Wen thought that no matter what, as long as Jun Jiuning has the belief of winning and the confidence and arrogance of the Chu army, at least it is no problem to stabilize the morale of the army.

The reason why King Ning was able to make his achievements in the army was not only because of his extraordinary talent in this way, but also because of his arrogant and unscrupulous personality, but also one of the reasons why he was able to intimidate his opponents during combat.

Although Jun Jiuning's personality is somewhat similar to him, it is not exactly similar.

Jun Jiuning was doting himself by Emperor Wen before, and he was very domineering. He was not afraid of heaven or earth. He spoke and did things all based on his preferences, but his mind was just his brain. It once gave him a headache.

Emperor Wen thought, but now her personality has changed. From Jun Jiuning sneaked to Liang Kingdom to ask for the Eagle and caught the palace maids to poison Concubine Yun, Emperor Wen saw Jun Jiuning's strengths in knowing how to choose, thinking, and doing things decisively.

It can be considered brave and resourceful, but not reckless.

Why not let her try it? This is also a test for Jun Jiuning.

The burden of the throne will sooner or later fall into Jun Qingli's hands, but Jun Qingli is too weak and has no other brothers to help him, so he may not be able to support Chu in the future. If Jun Jiuning can become the second person like King Ning, he will be much more at ease.

Jun Jiuning didn't know that Emperor Wen had already thought of what would happen a long time later. As a cannon fodder, she did so much just to change her destiny - to live here.

The army has set off.

Jun Jiuning turned over and had a tall horse. The hard and cold saddle was not comfortable to sit up, but she didn't care at all. She just waved to Emperor Wen and said with a smile: "Father, my son, say goodbye!"

Her figure gradually drifted away and finally disappeared into the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves.

Jun Jiuning followed the army, rushing to the road for three days and three nights, and finally arrived at the military camp stationed on the border of Chu at noon on the fourth day.

General Xie, who was guarding the border of Chu, was also Dingbei Hou. He had long received news that in order to inspire the morale of the army, the emperor specially ordered the eldest princess of Chu, Jun Jiuning to rush to the border to fight with the military and civilians of Chu to resist the enemy's army.

Although General Xie sneered at this move in his heart, he still had to do enough on the surface.

The marching and war have always been a matter of men. He also heard about the fact that King Ning gave up his son, and the prince was weak, so he probably sent this princess to support the scene.

It just so happened that the two countries had quit today and the flag was over. General Xie led a group of generals from the army to the city gate to greet him.

This place is called Mincheng, which is the border area between Chu and Zhao. Compared with the capital, it is not particularly cold.

It is late spring now, with the sun shining brightly, and people can see farther and clearer. So when Jun Jiuning led his army and his army were still far away, General Zhao, who was standing on the city wall, discovered the arrival of the army.

He turned to his son Xie Jinyu and said, "The army from the capital today will be stationed and placed in the military camp. I ordered the logistics department to cook more food this morning. You ask someone to go and see if they are prepared enough."

Xie Jinyu nodded, turned around and was about to go to the Minister of Logistics, but suddenly remembered something and asked General Xie: "Dad, my son has heard of this eldest princess' style of conduct since he was in Beijing. She... seemed to be spoiled by the emperor. Should we ask the kitchen to have a small kitchen alone for her to avoid making trouble in the military camp when she is not good."

After he said this, the generals around him were immediately exploded.

Most of these generals have been stationed on the border, and some have never entered the capital, so they are confused about the eldest princess Jun Jiuning. However, when Xie Jinyu heard that she was such a difficult person to serve, he immediately opposed letting Jun Jiuning enter the military camp.
