Chapter 58 One way to go

The drums are beating, the trumpets are sounding, and the military flag is flying... Today's sky is also considered to be a hole in the sky. There are no clouds in the sky, the blue is as clear as washing, and the northwest wind has already been infected with the chill of early winter.This time is not a good time to go north to fight. After all, the Titans in the north are better than the soldiers in Xuanyuan's country for adapting to the cold.However, this year's military supplies are complete after all, and more soldiers from the north are recruited to go, so it's not a big problem. On the contrary, the Titans are facing a crisis of food shortage this year.

The army was waiting at the border, and Xuanyuan Yun set off from the imperial city with his uncle General Xu and his own personal guards.The emperor led all the civil and military officials to Zhili Pavilion outside the capital to see Xuanyuan Yun and his party off in person, expressing the importance they attached to this expedition.Far away, there are civilians stopped by the soldiers, most of them are here to see off their relatives, but at this time, there is no chance to send something at a close distance, and they are crying, hoping to be here again soon Receiving loved ones who returned.

Xuanyuan Yun led his troops on horseback, but Hua Mu sat in a carriage. This rapid march was not an easy task, and he still needed to recharge his batteries.Behind Hua Mu are several carriages, all of which are Hua Mu's luggage, but the large cabinets inside are also used to cover up.Unexpectedly, after it was rumored that these carriages were brought by Hua Mu, not only the officials in the court who supported the war had more confidence in the victory of this campaign, but even the common people followed suit. up.It has to be said that in less than a year, Hua Mu has such a high position in the hearts of officials and people here, and what a reliable person he is!

It's already the beginning of winter. Winter in the north not only comes early, but always goes for a long time.The soldiers of Xuanyuan Yun and General Xu have all undergone rigorous training, and such weather has not affected them much.Hua Mu couldn't get bored in the carriage anymore, and he had already made enough things these days.

The carriage he was riding in was improved, and the further north he went, the smoother the road was, and it was an official road along the way, so it was not bumpy.The most unbearable thing for Hua Mu is the food here. The diet of the army is all big pot dishes, not to mention the taste, it is normal to even have some silt in it.If you are late for caterpillars, great, this is meat for you!It was the first time for Xuanyuan Yun to lead troops, and he went as a commander. Naturally, he didn't dare to alienate these soldiers, so he always ate a big pot of rice, and General Xu was the same. Naturally, Hua Mu was not easy to make small things.

In fact, the people in Lijia Village also heard that the artisans of the Ministry of Industry at the kiln told about Hua Mu's going to travel, and specially prepared a lot of food for Hua Mu.Hua Mu was still very moved, but these Hua Mu were not easy to enjoy alone, so they were taken to the kitchen for everyone to enjoy together.There are still vegetables along the way, so we have to try to eat more, but it is difficult to eat some vegetables in the north.This time, Huamu and the others bought a lot of dried vegetables, which will give the army a lot of flavor.

It was also Hua Mu who asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to inform the people how to do it. They chopped some washed vegetables and sliced ​​carrots, cooked them in a pot, and then spread them out to dry.In this way, more vegetables can be stored when the vegetables are prolific, and they can be taken out to eat when the vegetables are not harvested.And when Xuanyuan Yun thought of the lack of vegetables in the north, he immediately thought of these dried vegetables, which are also light in weight and easy to transport.And the common people heard that Xuanyuanyun bought it, and even donated their own food, even free of charge.Even the emperor heard about it and praised it in various ways.

There are many mountains in the north, but they are all integrated into one piece, so the plains appear more open.Hua Mu also got out of the carriage and went immediately.Although Hua Mu's body, which has been in the laboratory for a long time, is a little weak compared to the bodies of these soldiers, it is still no problem to ride a horse.

"It's a beautiful place." Hua Mu sighed.

"So we can't let the flames of war reach here." Xuanyuan Yun said.

"Only when you become strong, you will not lead the flames of war to your own land." Hua Mu said, this is also the so-called: if you fall behind, you will be beaten.And being strong means the party that ignites the flames of war, and the party that leads the flames of war to other countries' land.He is not the Holy Mother. Although he hates war, he knows that there is no war that can be avoided, and a retreat will only cause greater harm to the person he protects.

****************************************

This expedition is strange compared to previous years. From the beginning of the preparation of military supplies to the departure from the capital, there are people who spontaneously organize donations.Along the way, there were teams organized by the people themselves to send some food to various post stations for Xuanyuan Yun's army, and all of them were food that could last for storage.

"I have been in the army for so many years, and I have never encountered such a situation. I consider myself to be a strict military discipline, but sometimes when I pass by the place where the people live, they will still be attracted to close their doors. It is true that this person who took the initiative to deliver food Yes, but it is definitely not as good as this time. Your lord, you have a high reputation among the people." General Xu praised sincerely, even the morale of their personal guards was improved by this trip, and it was not affected by the long journey. Obliterated, but more and more exalted.

"It's all a blessing to delay Mr. Hua!" Xuanyuan Yun said.

"However, this reminds me that since the people are willing to take out their own food, this year was considered a bumper harvest year, and there are many kinds of food to eat. My lord, you might as well ask the virtuous king to prepare some food at that time. Since the emperor ordered We can accept these gifts from the common people, and if it is the household department... we will have a countermeasure." General Xu said that the household department is under the control of the crown prince, and the military supplies may not arrive in time.

"Already preparing. Once we leave the customs, I am afraid that our soldiers in the north of Xuanyuan Kingdom will not be able to adapt. There will be a problem with military supplies. I have some stocks this year. If it is really a last resort, I will be able to supply supplies at that time." Some." Xuanyuan Yun said, as early as when he discovered the drought this year, he started to store food and supplies, but Huamu's rainfall and water storage helped solve the drought problem, and the stored supplies would be useless at that time .But last year, he made a lot of money, and he is capable of collecting more things now.

"There should be no problem with the food, but my lord, we can ask Mr. Lei to help." Hua Mu said suddenly, food should be fine this year, but if the clothing for shelter from the cold and some supplies are withheld by the household department, there will be problems. Also troublesome.

"What did Mr. Hua think of?"

"I just thought of two things. Mr. Lei should be able to solve one for us; the other one needs your help, General Xu. You have a lot of contacts in the north." Hua Mu said.

"Although Mr. Hua said, if Xu can do it, he must do his best!" General Xu said. He didn't stay in Beijing for a long time, but he had heard about Hua Mu's deeds.In particular, his father repeatedly told him not to offend Hua Mu, and to treat Hua Mu with courtesy, so that he would not dare to underestimate Hua Mu.

"It's just..." Hua Mu told the two of them something that Hua Sheng Baidu came out with.

"It's Mr. Hua's thoughtful thinking. In this way, the army will have no worries!" General Xu said excitedly. In this way, the battle will be much easier!

************************************************** *

In the following days, although the army did not stop and hurried to the border to join the army, in the dead of night, there would always be Xuanyuan Yun or General Xu's personal guards leaving the barracks.And Hua Mu wasn't idle either. Since he took care of the logistics, there were some things that could be changed.Every day is also very busy, and every post has to be carefully inspected.

However, just preparing these things is not over yet, those unruly northern men are still waiting for them to conquer at the border...
