Xia Huan's chest was a little uncomfortable, or rather, extremely depressed.

Tens of thousands, and tens of thousands of elites who cost a lot of money, may become the cheapest cannon fodder.

Whether it is for people or those lost money, Xia Huan is not very acceptable.

He is not the crown prince Xia Last, as soon as he was born, his memory is only superior. In the more than ten years of his previous life, human life can be described as a matter of heaven.

It's not the third prince, he has been on the battlefield since he was more than ten years old, and he is used to seeing life and death.

Although, in this life, he can be regarded as having "followed the customs", but that concept is still in his bones from time to time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the same for more than ten years, even if he was from the palace maid temple, he often gave smiling faces.

However, Xia Huan knew that this process could not be saved.

And Xia Huan knows very well that if there is really a war, the task of this vanguard will not only not be annoying, but extremely eye-catching.

Everyone knows that the pioneer line, as long as it is undefeated, is a great achievement. The crown prince and the third prince will definitely fight for this when the time comes.

However, the war is changing rapidly, and it is not so easy to balance the relationship between the crown prince and the third prince, or even the Jing family and the Ji family.

Xia Huan didn't want to think about these anymore, now that Xia Ze already had an idea, presumably, he also had a countermeasure.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Huan's mouth couldn't help but have a wry smile.

Originally, when he saw the situation on Yingshang, he really thought that Xia Ze hoped that he could regain control of Yingshang County from the hands of the family.

But, in retrospect, it all seemed like it was just a joke.

As if he saw what Xia Huan was thinking, the elderly Xia Ze's face was wrinkled again.

"However, your performance is indeed beyond my imagination. Sending you to Yingshang, yes! ”

Xia Huan opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

"Don't think I'm comforting you." The smile on Xia Ze's face was even stronger, "At first, I just wanted you to go through the experience and see what the world of this Chu country is like. Unexpectedly, you not only saw it, but also got rid of this stubborn disease for me. ”

"Father......" Xia Huan's tone was flat, but there was no trace of joy in his expression.

"After all, the son failed to do anything for his father......"

"No, why didn't you say anything? You've made my plan a big replacement. ”

"In advance?" Xia Huan asked slightly stunned.

"When I have decided on the autumn harvest, I will start the Northern Expedition! And this plan was fully advanced by a year. ”

Xia Ze's words made Xia Huan's already somewhat stunned expression suddenly turn into shock.

The Northern Expedition for the Autumn Harvest is already August. The autumn harvest is just over a month away.

However, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, more than 200,000 troops, and grain is a huge number every day.

This is more than 100,000 people on the Ying, which is completely more than several times the pressure.

Not only was each sergeant an adult and a strong man, but also fodder for the horses.

With such a large amount of food, it will take at least a month or two to get to the front.

"Father, the autumn harvest will be in the northern expedition, is it too hasty! Although it can have a surprising effect, it is not a day's work to conquer the city, the grain and grass cannot keep up, and the morale of the army is probably ......."

At first, Xia Huan was really worried about Xia Ze's old age and quick success, but halfway through his words, he remembered that the person in front of him was not Emperor Wenmo, but a real emperor, how could he not even know this.

"Hahaha!"

Xia Ze suddenly laughed, and instead of blaming Xia Huan, he said: "That's why I said, thanks to you!" ”

"Yingshang has a large population, and the ration for two months is at least three or four hundred thousand stones. This grain is not much, but it is impossible to transfer it to you from near Shoudu. If you want to transfer, you have to transfer grain and grass from Huaiyang, Nanjun, and Nanyang.

In that case, it will drag on for at least more than a month. More importantly, although there is not much grain, the lack of cars, horses, boats and boats will seriously affect the hoarding of grain and grass on the front line. In this way, even if the war starts, it will drag on for more than two months. When the time comes, as winter approaches, a surprise attack will not be of much use. ”

Although the war is cruel, Xia Huan has to admit that it is indeed an art.

Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, just one jaw, is enough to affect the morning and evening of a war.

In this way, it is really as Xia Ze said, he did advance this war.

Today, Xia Huan learned a lot from Xia Ze. But, again, there have been quite a few blows.

originally thought that it was a great achievement, but in Xia Ze's eyes, it became insignificant, and even unfavorable.

On the contrary, it is within the scope of duty, but it has affected a national fortune.

Perhaps seeing that Xia Huan was a little absent-minded, after chatting a little, Xia Ze didn't plan to get up and go back.

However, to Xia Huan's surprise, before leaving, his emperor Lao Tzu suddenly told him that he also needed to participate in this war.

On the road of the palace, surrounded by an environment that has been familiar for more than ten years.

However, now, Xia Huan couldn't take care of these things in his mind.

Although he is a prince and a feudal monarch, he does not have a personal guard in the real sense.

As for Changxiujun, although it has a number, its strength is too far behind that of Fanjun.

Moreover, although Chang Xiujun has absorbed a lot of people these days, he has expanded a lot.

However, in terms of strength, if you put it on the battlefield, let alone splash, you can't even make a ripple, and you will be killed by the opponent.

Perhaps, this expedition is just a formality.

Thinking about it, Xia Huan seemed to have only this answer in his heart.

Shaking his head slightly, Xia Huan tried his best to shake off the mess in his mind. At his feet, he walked towards the palace where the Empress Dowager Chu was.

More than two months have passed, and he has experienced a lot of Xia Huan, especially the previous conversation with Chu Emperor Xia Ze, which suddenly made him a few years older psychologically.

There was no need to go to report it, as soon as they approached the palace, the palace maids were already arguing.

At the gate of the chaotic hall, one by one the little palace maids greeted Xia Huan one by one. In the palace with strict rules, no one even cares.

And Xia Huan, as before, called out the names, greeted the past one by one, and those who couldn't be named smiled at him.

Everyone in the palace knows that the queen mother likes popularity and has always been unrestrained by the palace maids.

In the past, when Xia Huan came every day, many palace maids would come to him to hang around. This time, I haven't seen him for two months, Xia Huan, who is kind and has an excellent mouth, has naturally become fragrant again.

Perhaps it was because he heard the noise outside, and soon, a slightly old, but extremely happy voice came from the hall.

"Huan'er! Is Huan'er back? Empress Dowager Chu ran out in a hurry with a cane. And beside her, Queen Jing was carefully supporting her.

"The grandson visited the eldest mother and met the queen mother!"

"Good! Good! Good! Your affairs on the Yingshang, the mourning family has heard about it! Well done! It has the style of the first emperor back then! Empress Dowager Chu was obviously very excited, and her mantra when she saw Xia Huan was also spoken.

"Queen Mother, it's almost noon, since Huan'er is also here, it's better to eat together." Empress Jing glanced at Xia Huan, and then said with a smile at Empress Dowager Chu.

"Good, good! Dine! Dine! Empress Dowager Chu grabbed Xia Huan's arm and walked happily towards the hall.
