As soon as the Shangyuan Festival is over, it will be spring, and spring is the time that You Fengyun has set to attack the Turks.At this time, the Turks had just passed the cold winter, the grasslands had not yet grown full of forage, and the Turks' cattle and horses had not yet grown strong. With the weather warming up, Dajing's soldiers did not have to brave the severe cold to fight.

Moreover, after the entire winter time, the Turks have been split into two Turks, the East and the West, and the Turks' military strength has been greatly weakened.

So, almost as soon as spring began, You Fengyun prepared to mobilize troops, and the grain and grass that had been prepared for the whole winter began to be transported to the border.All departments in the central government have started to operate for this war, and everyone knows that this war must not fail!

In the East Palace, You Yusui was still wearing a warm cloak. He looked at Huo Xiling who was holding a horizontal knife in front of him and said, "You are leaving again."

That's right, Huo Xiling's talent for leading troops has already made You Fengyun regard him as an important part of the attack on the Turks. When he reached the border, he and his brother-in-law Liu Ye each led an army to the grassland.

As soon as today is over, Huo Xiling will lead Chang'an's army to set off for the border.

Hearing this, Huo Xiling put away the horizontal knife in his hand, then looked at You Yusui and said, "I will never leave Your Highness again after the Turks are destroyed this time."

Huo Xiling's tone was relaxed, with a smile in his eyes, as if destroying the Turks was an easy task for him.

In fact, Huo Xiling already has a well-thought-out plan on how to destroy the Turks. He fought against the Turks so many times in his previous life, and he has long understood the Turks' fighting methods and the character of the generals. He only needs to hand over the huge victory to the prince.

"Okay." You Yusui laughed, and he believed everything Huo Xiling said.

"Take the white falcon tamed by Jiang Yan, and remember to report it to me." You Yusui warned.

He was really afraid that any accident would happen to Huo Xiling. In the days when Huo Xiling was not around, he could only sleep peacefully by relying on the letters Huo Xiling wrote to him.

"Your Highness won't worry." Huo Xiling hugged You Yusui and said, "Your Highness, wait for me to come back."

When he came back, he would use his military exploits to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, and then the United Palace would push the Empress Dowager Li and the eldest princess into a desperate situation and expose their crimes in front of everyone.

This time, both the deceased and his sister will get the justice they deserve.

You Yusui also hugged Huo Xiling back and rubbed against him, hoping that Huo Xiling could return triumphantly.

"I'm waiting for you to come back." You Yusui said, "Although you may not be able to make you a princess in the future, I don't know if you are willing to be the young son of the Xie family."

"Yes!" Huo Xiling hugged You Yusui and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a princess, or you can be Xie's son-in-law."

You Yusui couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he hoped that he could live a little longer in this life, a little longer.

"Okay, that's the deal." You Yusui said.

That night, Huo Xiling fell asleep with You Yusui in his arms. There was light rain outside, and Huo Xiling's warmest embrace was inside.

Early the next morning, You Yusui stood on the tower and You Fengyun personally sent Huo Xiling's army away.

You Yusui watched the black army drift away, with unconcealable reluctance in his eyes.

You Fengyun on the side saw You Yusui's distraught appearance and decided to find something for You Yusui to do, so You Fengyun said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't I let Niannian stay with you for a while these few days. "

You Yusui looked at You Fengyun calmly and said, "Royal Father, do you think Erchen seems to be able to take care of children?"

"If you don't know how to learn." You Fengyun immediately said, "Like me, I have learned several ways to hold a baby, and I will teach you when the time comes."

You Yusui: ...

"I refuse." You Yusui said goodbye to You Fengyun directly after finishing speaking.

You Fengyun quickly grabbed You Yusui and said: "If you don't have children, you can go to the Ministry of War to manage the logistics. You must know that logistics is very important to the army..."

Without waiting for You Fengyun to finish speaking, You Yusui said: "I thank you, Father."

After finishing speaking, You Yusui reached out to You Fengyun for orders, so that he can go to the Ministry of War to help Huo Xiling keep an eye on the logistics.

You Fengyun: ...Sure enough, when you talk about things related to Huo Xiling, you lift your spirits.

"Okay, I'll give it to you right away." You Fengyun said helplessly.

You Yusui, who received this order, naturally left happily and could not accompany Huo Xiling on the battlefield, but he could ensure the logistics of the army at the court so that no one would stab him in the back.

On the tower, You Fengyun couldn't help but sighed while watching You Yusui's leaving back, while An Hai beside him couldn't help comforting him: "The prince has something to do, isn't this a good thing, Your Majesty."

"Of course it's a good thing. Huo Xiling is not here. If you let him think wildly, something will happen." You Fengyun said softly.

You Fengyun was still shocked when he thought of the sudden emotional breakdown of You Yusui. With his strength, he couldn't completely suppress You Yusui who was in a madness.

"I hope he can distract his attention by dealing with logistics." You Fengyun said.

The success or failure of a war lies not only in the moment when the two armies meet, but also in the secrecy work in the early stage, the usual training of the army, and the logistics work during the war.

Although no one in the entire court hoped that the war would fail, the hearts of the ministers were not tied together. Only with the prince to supervise the logistics work could the army's logistics be guaranteed to be flawless.

"Let's go back to the palace to see Niannian."

After finishing speaking, You Fengyun turned and left the tower.

In the Ministry of War, You Yusui directly took You Fengyun's order and began to inspect the military rations.

It can be said that You Fengyun had been preparing for the attack on the Turks for more than ten years. In order to ensure the supply of food and grass, hundreds of thousands of civilians were recruited to provide supplies for the army in the rear.

However, the battle between Huo Xiling and the Turks was not at the border of Dajing, but to go deep into the grassland and desert to attack the Turks. In addition, Huo Xiling led cavalry, which made it impossible for them to bring enough food and grass to march, after all Cavalry demanded surprise.

The requisition of food and grass is enough for the entire army, but...

"If they go deep into the grassland, how can they guarantee their food and grass?" You Yusui couldn't help muttering to himself.

You Yusui was wondering if there was a kind of dry food that was easy to carry and could satisfy hunger as Huo Xiling and the others went deep into the grassland.

Most of the food and grass in the army now is rice noodles, or ready-made steamed buns, but no matter which kind of food needs an open fire, but lighting a fire on the grassland is tantamount to courting death, which will not only expose the whereabouts of the Turkic tribes.

"Fubao, I have to go to Juxian Pavilion alone." You Yusui stood up suddenly and said.

"Ah?" Fu Bao looked at You Yusui excitedly, not knowing why.

However, what You Yusui thought was that he lived deep in the palace and didn't understand these things, but there were strange people from all over the Juxian Pavilion, maybe they knew how to make this kind of dry food.

After finishing speaking, You Yusui hurried away with Fu Bao.

The officials of the Ministry of War, holding the account books and various dispatches, looked at the prince who left suddenly, with a look of bewilderment. Didn't they say that they wanted to inspect the military rations and dispatches?Why did you leave so soon?

At this moment, in Juxian Pavilion, You Yusui has gathered all the capable people and strangers of Juxian Pavilion together.

"I just want a military ration that is easy to carry and does not require open flames. It can be made even in rainy days." You Yusui said, looking at the capable people in Juxian Pavilion in front of him.

The people in Juxian Pavilion couldn't bear it any longer after hearing the words, a middle-aged man said: "Your Highness! I will do this!"

I saw the middle-aged man gesticulating with his hands and said: "We have a kind of food, it is a kind of small cake, made of flour, baked in a vat, it can be made in rainy days without an open fire, after it is done, let it dry It can be kept for half a year! When making it, add a small hole on the cake, and put it on with a rope so that the soldiers can hang it directly on their bodies."

You Yusui was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Can I show Gu to see right away?"

"it is good!"

Everyone immediately found a large vat, and saw that the man put the charcoal fire into the vat, kneaded the flour into small cakes, punched them, and put them in the vat to stick them. It only took two sticks of incense to create hundreds of small cakes. The cake is out of the oven.

"I think sugar and lard can be added to this cake to make it even more hungry." Someone suggested.

Everyone made another big vat with flour cakes added with sugar and lard, and handed it to You Yusui.

You Yusui felt so sweet and hard after taking a bite, and the bread was so hard to chew. After taking another sip of water, he was completely full.

So, You Yusui looked at the strongest man in the crowd and asked him how much he would eat to fill him up.

The man touched his head and said, "Add a pot of water to five, and I'll be full."

You Yusui bowed his head and thought about it carefully. These small pancakes can be made into a string of sixty pieces. If you eat three meals a day, you can eat five. Then the army rations for four days will be guaranteed.And the dry food that one person brought was more than just this bunch of small cakes. One bunch was hung around the neck, the other was hung around the waist, and the two bunches were hung on the horse’s back.

Moreover, the method of making the cake is simple, and the whereabouts of the army will not be exposed due to open flames and smoke, which can be said to be the best.

"Well done, there is a reward for being alone." After finishing speaking, You Fengyun took the pancakes made by Juxian Pavilion to Xuande Hall.

He wants You Fengyun to promote this kind of military rations to the army, so that the cavalry can bring enough military rations when they go deep into the grassland, instead of relying on the method of fighting to feed the war, and they will eat and eat when they are hungry.

In the Xuande Palace, You Fengyun spent a while lying in the cradle after sending off the army, and then began to deal with official duties.

Only in the afternoon, You Fengyun heard that the prince asked to see him.

"Xuan." You Fengyun looked at the little eunuch who came to report.

Seeing You Yusui stepped into the Xuande Hall, You Fengyun asked You Yusui: "Could it be that there is a problem with the food and grass?"

It shouldn't be, he supported this war with the power of the whole country, there should be no problem with food and grass.

And You Yusui directly took out a bunch of small cakes and said: "Father, look at this."

The small cakes in front of him exuded the aroma of sugar and oil, which was very different from the military rations. You Fengyun took the bunch of small cakes and said, "Is this military rations?"

After finishing the words, You Fengyun tore off a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet and oily, with a hard texture and very hard to chew. After eating one and then drinking a glass of water, You Fengyun felt that his stomach was full.

"Father, this kind of military ration is easy to carry and easy to make. It only needs a crock furnace and does not need an open flame to prevent the army's whereabouts from being spied on by the enemy." You Yusui explained, "When the time comes, the cavalry will hang a string around their necks. Tie one string around the waist, and hang two strings immediately, half a month's rations will be enough, and it will not be easy for the enemy to intercept the food and grass."

You Fengyun, who was drinking water, almost choked up the water when he heard You Yusui's words. The picture You Yusui drew was so beautiful that they dared not look at it.

However, this is not impossible. If it is replaced by the previous method of carrying military rations, it will be very difficult for the army that goes deep into the grassland to carry enough food for half a month. After all, cavalry needs mobility and cannot be held back by rations.

However, if you don't bring enough food and grass, and you haven't met the Turkic tribes wandering in the grasslands, it will be difficult to fight and support the war, and the soldiers will be hungry and full.

"The idea is good. If it can be implemented, it can be regarded as a great achievement." You Fengyun praised.

"Then please hurry up and implement this method to the border towns, and Chang'an can also transport the general rations to the front line like this." You Yusui said anxiously.

Huo Xiling sent the army from Yunzhong City, and it took seven or eight days from Chang'an to Yunzhong City. Naturally, this kind of dry food should be delivered to Chang'an as soon as possible.

"Okay, okay, I'll make an order now." You Fengyun said.

Sure enough, it was right to let the prince manage the logistics.

Seven days later, the army led by Huo Xiling arrived in Yunzhong City. As soon as he arrived, his brother-in-law Liu Ye came to welcome him.

"Brother-in-law!"

Before Huo Xiling could finish his excitement, Liu Ye put a string of pancakes around his neck.

Huo Xiling: ...

"Do you like it? This is the dry food specially invented by His Royal Highness for you." Liu Ye patted Huo Xiling on the shoulder and said.

Huo Xiling: ...Since it was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Then I really like it."

"Then tie another string around your waist." Liu Ye said.

Huo Xiling: ...
