Ma Yuan, the prefect of Longxi, received the edict.

The emperor appointed him as General Fubo, and could control the army and ordered him to prepare military equipment, food and grass, go south to Wudu, enter Hanzhong and Bashu.

There were also two drawings and several recipes with the edict. One was the latest stone mill, and the other was the style of a roasted kang. The recipe was newly developed scones with various flavors. The emperor named it "Shan Cake". The emperor ordered Ma Yuan to build a new type of stone mill, grind wheat into powder, and make more mountain cakes, and carry them as grain in the army.

"When we head south to Wudu, Bashu are all mountain roads, which are long and dangerous. This cake is resistant to hunger, not easy to corruption, and is easy to carry, and can be used for food in the army." This is the emperor's original words.

The young emperor commanded the chefs to try it many times before making this kind of military ration. It was prepared to set up Shu. It was all mountain roads to enter Shu. It was difficult to transport military rations and there was no suitable food, so it would be very difficult for the army to advance.

Ma Yuan was very happy to get the drawings. After the trial production, he praised them even more. The mountain cakes were not very moisture-free, dry and light, with holes in the middle. Dozens of them were worn with ropes, which could be eaten for half a month. The soldiers carried them with them, and they didn't feel very burdensome to climb mountains. They were much more convenient than crossing mountains and ridges to transport military rations.

Longxi is a place where wheat is produced. Wheat is usually used for cooking. It tastes rough and hard and is difficult to swallow. It is just to fill the stomach with people and has no requirements for taste. The military transport of wheat in the army requires special people, and the civilians also need to eat grain. The military food is transported to the battlefield. The third is the tenth, and the speed is slow and wasteful. Now that the emperor has improved the military food, it can greatly reduce the burden of transporting grain, save grain, and increase the speed of the army's movement.

For this kind of mountain cake, it can also be baked with original semolina flour, but the taste is not as good as fine flour.

Ma Yuan ordered a new type of stone mill and a large grill pit to make two types of mountain cakes. The thick noodles are called thick cakes and the thin noodles are called thin cakes. The two are used as military rations.

Not long after, a unit of 4,000 people was transferred from Youfufeng Qi County to Longxi. The head lieutenant was named Tang Jing, who was the hero who raided the powerful people of Fengtouling when he pacified the two counties.

Tang Jing was ordered by Yang Yin, the general of Zhenxi, to train mountain combat troops in Duyang and Qixian. It was originally used to determine Long, but because the emperor did not make any big moves in Pinglong, the troops were not used. Now Ma Yuan wants to determine Shu, and Longxi is insufficient, so the emperor ordered Tang Jing to enter Longxi and listen to it under Ma Yuan's tent.

Ma Yuan recruited soldiers, prepared weapons, and prepared for the southward journey. The young emperor also sharpened his sword in Chang'an and prepared to personally conquer Lu Fang.

At this time, another emperor far away in Suiyang, Liu Yong, had a hard time.

Liu Xiu was aggressive and attacked Suiyang several times. Last year, Cen Peng almost captured Suiyang City. Thanks to Liu Yong's general Jiaoqiang, Zhou Jian fought hard and survived until winter. The weather was severe and Cen Peng's military rations were not maintained, so he temporarily retreated. This gave Liu Yong some chance to breathe. However, the surrounding counties had fallen into the hands of Jian Wuhan.

There is no doubt that when Sumai harvests, Cen Peng will definitely attack again with food and grass. Liu Yongxun has made preparations early.

Liu Yong was the eighth-generation grandson of Liu Wu, King Xiao of Liang. Liu Wu was the same mother brother of Emperor Jing of Han and the favorite son of Empress Dowager Dou. How much did he like it? Empress Dowager Dou even hoped that Emperor Jing could pass the throne to his younger brother, but was stopped by Yuan Ang before giving up. During the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Liu Wu occupied Suiyang and dragged the main force of the Wu and Chu army, which gave Zhou Yafu the opportunity to cut off the rebel food route and win in one fell swoop.

The Liang Kingdom was spread until the end of the Han Dynasty. Wang Mang came to power. He was excluding the Liu Feng Kingdom and killed Liu Yong's father, King Liang Liu Li, and Liu Yong lost the right to inheritance. But he was very visionary and ambitious, and he kept lying silently, accumulating strength, and waiting for opportunities.

When Gengshi was established, Liu Yong immediately ran to Luoyang, used all his skills to make a fortune to make a fortune in Gengshi ministers, and sought to meet Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan. After some operation, Liu Yong was named King of Liang by Liu Xuan and returned to Suiyang, the old capital of Liang.

Liang State was a great country. The capital of Suiyang was one of the earliest developed regions in China. It was very rich. Liu Yong recruited heroes from all over the country and secretly accumulated strength.

The government was in chaos and the whole country was in turmoil. Liu Yong raised an army to separatist and appointed his younger brother Liu Fang as the general of the auxiliary country, Liu Shaogong was the censor, and Zhou Jian and others were the generals to guide various places around him, occupying dozens of cities in a row.

He also joined forces with separatist forces from all parties and appointed Dong Xian, who occupied Donghai County as the general of Yihan, Zhang Bu, who occupied Qi County as the general of the general of the auxiliary Han, and Jiaoqiang, who occupied the western defense, as the general of the rampant general. By granting official titles, Liu Yong recruited the separatist forces from Shandong to his own lineup, and formed a coalition force, entrenched in various areas of Guandong.

After Liu Xuan was defeated, Liu Yong immediately claimed to be the emperor and stood in Guandong with Liu Xiu, the two heroes who proclaimed themselves in Hebei, to compete for the orthodox Han Dynasty. The two countries fought at all times, and Liu Yong was slightly inferior. However, in terms of strength, Liu Yong was very capable of fighting with Liu Xiu.

After Cen Peng temporarily withdrew his troops, Liu Yong finally had a quiet year and temporarily let go of his heart that had been holding. When the weather was just warmer, he took his confidants to Liangyuan to relax.

Liangyuan was a palace and garden group built by his ancestor Liang King Liu Wu. It covers a very wide area. Although it has declined a lot in recent years, its scale is still quite considerable.

Liangyuan is a place for talents all over the world. At that time, the Ci Fu family Mei Cheng, Sima Xiangru and others lived in Liangyuan, bringing a strong literary atmosphere to Liangyuan.

Now Liu Yong also likes guests and raises countless heroes in Liangyuan, including heroes, literary scholars, and all kinds of religions. In order to show his respect for wise men, Liu Yong ordered that he would not have to be polite, and he would have fun with the guests.

The emperor strolled in Liangyuan and admired the gardens and landscapes in early spring. A group of literary men and heroes who were eager to become famous were surrounded by him. Some of them offered their new works and asked His Majesty the Emperor to evaluate them. Some even recommended themselves and asked His Majesty the Emperor to appoint him.

Liu Yong occasionally stopped, admired a poem and commented a few words, and the scholars who received praise were immediately happy. If those who recommended themselves were in a good mood when they met the emperor, they might have to be an official.

Liu Yong's general Qingwu led his attendants to guard the side, not daring to leave at all. Qingwu was very nervous. His Majesty the Emperor was among the civilians. If there were any mistakes, he would not be able to afford to be guilty. Therefore, he kept holding the hilt in his hand and guarding his side at any time.

Liu Yong came to a historical site, named "Mingtai", also known as "Flowingtai" or "Fengtai". It is said that it was the musician Shikuang Blowing Music Platform of Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The emperor slowly walked up to the high platform, but saw a strong man in black, wearing thin and worn clothes, sitting in the pavilion, and ignored him when he saw the emperor coming.

Seeing this, Qingwu pressed his sword and went forward and said, "Your Majesty is here, Idle people will avoid it!"
