The three princes behind Liu Qi were excited and red in their faces, and their fists were squeaking. However, their brothers were a little indifferent. Liu Rong even thought the weather was too hot and wanted the damn ceremony to end quickly. It is said that there was something called ice cream in Yunhou's family, and he would like to ask for some later.

The soldiers marched against the August sun in Guanzhong. The weather was so hot that it seemed like it was setting fire. The dirt roads that the army stepped on were filled with smoke, and the standard armor of the Han army was made of thick cowhide. Wearing this thing in the summer was simply a disaster, and the Huns were not much better. The dark iron armor can be used to spread eggs now, but fortunately there was a layer of silk inside. If not, the meat would probably be scalded.

Only Manniu is the most comfortable guy, half leaning against the wide carriage. A large basin of ice-like carriage is cool and pleasant, as if it is two different worlds from outside.

"Brother, this won't work. Just twenty miles away from Chang'an, some soldiers began to have heatstroke. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be few people left before the entire army reaches Jiangnan."

Liu Cheng was wearing a Han army-style leather helmet, and the sweat on his face soaked the thick cowhide. The water bag on the horse's butt had already shrunk, and Yun Xiao secretly regretted it with his straw hat. Why did he forget to get a little more straw hat? This thing is still very useful in summer.

"It's not good to see if it's too close. Walk ten miles. Turn around the valley ahead and camp. Then we start marching after sunset, and camp when the sun rises. This way we can avoid the vicious sun, although the marching speed is slower. It is better than the soldiers falling ill."

"There is only this. I heard that the place in Jiangnan is much hotter than Chang'an. If it is such a ghost weather, this battle is really hard to fight."

"According to this way, we go all the way out of Hangu and Luoyang, and then to Huainan. It will probably take more than a month to reach Jiangdu. We will train the soldiers in Jiangnan. It will be October, and the weather will cool down at that time. However, Xiang Sanqiu was born and raised in Jiangnan. With the support of the King of Wu, if he is defeated, he can retreat to Dongou Kingdom. It may not be difficult to eliminate it. We may have to stay in Jiangnan for a while."

"I heard that the beauty in Jiangnan is better than Mayi. No matter how powerful Xiang Sanqiu is, he is probably not as difficult as the Huns. Brother, I have even handed over the salt field. If I can't make military achievements and become a marquis, I will live in your house and eat your house after I can't make any military achievements."

Yun Xiao's new marching method was unanimously praised by everyone. The soldiers all started to cheer when they heard the orders of the Marquis. Fortunately, there was a moon at night, so they could walk faster. Even so, Yun Xiao took ten days to reach Luoyang. There was no way. Yun Xiao brought less than 500 people out. However, the carriage brought more than 300. There were still two hundred sheep behind the carriage.

Liu Cheng's family soldiers loved to go to war with Marquis Yun. After a month of devil training, it was too easy for them to walk this journey. Moreover, every time they arrived at the camp, the Huns would slaughter sheep and pigs. Every night, each person would get a small bowl of fine wine from the Yun family. The Marquis said that drinking a small bowl of wine to relieve fatigue. This thing cannot be afforded in Chang'an, and a jar can be enough for a small family for half a year.

If you live like this every day, you will do it if you never return to Chang'an in your life.

They were all born into the Liu family, and they were destined to be members of the Liu family as soon as they were born. Now they followed Liu Cheng, which means that their future owner will be Liu Cheng and no longer his father Liu Ao. They are all good young men who have not gotten married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. No wonder Liu Cheng gave up the surveillance of the salt field for them.

Yun Xiao deliberately honed his team and passed the city without entering. When the sun was rising, he set up the camp outside Luoyang City.

Luoyang prefect Yuan Ang and Dou Ying had a close relationship, and were recommended by Dou Ying to obtain the official position of two thousand stones. They had already received Dou Ying's letters, and they were allowed to watch the road these days. As long as the army arrived, they prepared the military supplies early and let the young marquis go on the road as early as possible.

Yun Xiao's camp had just been laid, and the soldiers in charge came to report.

"General, there is Luoyang Prefect Yuan Ang outside the camp gate to ask for a visit."

Yun Xiao was very surprised. The prefect of a county was a high-ranking official of two thousand stones. Before he could finish his camp, he actually came to the door. Needless to say, he must have been waiting here for a long time. Those small county magistrates were fine, after all, the positions were too different. They dared not be disrespectful if they had any courage. But no matter what the plan was, the prefect of a county did not need to curry favor with him like this.

Yun Xiao personally went to the camp gate to welcome the prefect, and he gave him face. He couldn't be shameless, let alone this was recommended by Dou Ying.

From a distance, I saw an old man in fine clothes standing at the front of the team, his face turning red by the rising morning glow. His three long beards swung slightly with the breeze in the morning. The robe and the government had a little wet mark. It was obvious that he had been staying here for a long time and was dewy. Behind him were a group of civil and military officials in Luoyang, and there were thirty or forty carriages behind him, which contained fresh vegetables and several carriages of fat pigs.

Yun Xiao was really flattered. He hurriedly took a few steps to Yuan Ang, bowed and said, "This is the prefect Yuan, and Yun Xiao is polite here."

If someone gives face, he has to take care of himself. Logically, Yuan Ang should give him a polite manners, but because the other party is so sincere, Yun Xiao stepped forward to greet Yuan Ang first.

"Oh, it turns out that it was Hou Yun in front of him. Old Guan was dizzy and rude." Yuan Ang hurriedly saluted.

"How dare Yun Xiao be so kind to the elders? Please go to the tent to take a rest." Yun Xiao waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and brought Yuan Ang and a group of civil and military officials from Luoyang into the tent.

"The general reported that the subordinates were ordered to prepare military supplies. Now they have sent thirty cargoes of fresh fruits and vegetables and thirty fat pigs. I also asked the general to send someone to check it out."

Yun Xiao patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder, and Liu Cheng walked out. The guy liked the most was to accept things, and the officials who always flattered him gave him some gifts. Whether it was for Yun Xiao or Zong Zhengqing's second son, this guy accepted them all. So far, Yun Xiao had never seen this guy take out the gift he gave him.

"Mr. Yuan, I'm afraid I didn't have breakfast when I came out so early. After a while, Yun Xiao and his colleagues had breakfast together. Yun Xiao still had some things to ask the master."

"I dare not, but I dare not. The food in Yunfu is extremely famous in Chang'an. Xiaguan and others have never had the opportunity to taste it. Today, they said that they could not take the opportunity to disturb me. I don't know what the general is asking about, but if I know everything, I will definitely tell you."

"I heard that Lord Yuan has been the prime minister of Wu. He should be very familiar with the customs and customs of Jiangnan. This time, Yun Xiao sent troops to fight against Xiang Sanqiu in Jiangnan. He also asked Lord Yuan for many things."

"Xiang Sanqiu is a man with profound military tactics and strategies, and is also good at leading troops, especially cavalry. There are few horses in the south of the Yangtze River, but King Liu Bi of Wu forced to invest a cavalry team of thousands of people for him. When he helped the King of Dong'ou seize the throne, he made many military achievements. He was also a powerful force when he conquered the southern Fujian country.

Moreover, this person is not only used to cavalry, but also quite proficient in water warfare. Especially the black-sailed boat he designed is very flexible. It is very suitable for operating between the water seeds in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of his subordinates are from the south of the Yangtze River, and they are used to knowing the nature of water. The general needs to be careful to deal with this conquest of him."

This is new information. Xiang Sanqiu is also proficient in water battles. It is indeed a difficult bone to crack. This battle is really difficult to fight.

The breakfast was put on, and the chef of the Yun family never disappointed. He took the fastest speed to pack a bun.

Yuan Ang picked up one and took a bite. The leek and egg stuffing was very fragrant in his mouth. The millet porridge was smooth and delicious. The pickled vegetables were crispy and creaky and creaky in his mouth. I don’t know what it was made of. Then he picked up a bun, and it was actually filled with mushrooms and beef. The deliciousness of the mushrooms and the strength of the beef were so strong that he couldn’t bear to swallow it in his mouth. Is the beef ready to eat any beef? He actually slaughtered the plowing ox, but he was the army’s business. It was not a local thing, and it was not something that he was the prefect should take care of.

After having breakfast, I saw that Yun Xiao and others had not finished eating yet. So I took the excuse to watch the handover of supplies and slipped out.

Wei Qihou wrote a letter and asked Yuan Ang to observe Yun Xiao's military appearance and judge his combat power. Taking advantage of this opportunity, how to reply to Wei Qihou.

Walking around the military camp with a man and horse, a few black and white cows caught Yuan Ang's attention. It seemed that the cows he saw were either yellow or black. How could such black and white cows come out? Two Hun men were milking with an iron bucket below. The Hun men sniffed out a bowl and handed it to Yuan Ang. I heard that Yun Hou had a group of Huns under him, and they were very fierce in fighting. Today was the first time I saw them.

I took it and smelled it. The aroma of milk penetrated into my nose. At that time, there was not a cup of milk a day. The Chinese people rarely drank milk. They tried to sip it, and the sweet milk smell filled their mouths. I couldn't help but take another big sip, and the stomach, which was a little cold, felt much more comfortable. I drank this bowl in just a few sips.

With a milky burp, he continued to walk forward. He found that some soldiers who were obviously Han nationality were also drinking something similar to milk, but they added some shiny small pieces of stone into it. And they seemed to be heating it. The chef came over and brought a bowl of soy milk and specially added two pieces of rock sugar. He respectfully handed it to Yuan Ang. Yuan Ang smelled it and seemed to be different from the previous one. And the thing seemed to be a little yellow. He tried to take a sip, and it was very sweet and had some of the aroma of beans.

"What is this?"

"Sir, this is soy milk. In Yunjiazhuang, everyone drinks this in the morning. Do you have a fried dough stick?"

One piece of fried dough stick was handed to Yuan Ang. Yuan Ang, who had already eaten, broke a short piece. He imitated the soldiers and drank it while drinking it. He actually finished a whole piece. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
