Chapter 137 This King Just Notified You! [Please subscribe, please collect, please ask for a monthly pass! 】

"Appreciate~"

Xiahouchun, Murongyan, Tianxin and others reined in and stopped.

On top of the white horse, Xiahou Chun lived in a dignified and dignified manner.

At the right time, the white snow fell suddenly, and the wind howled and the rain blew.

The cold and frozen snow rustled on the faces of the generals.

But they pursed their lips and remained silent, all standing still, like a rock pillar.

Let the wind and snow invade, I stand still, as stable as Mount Tai.

Yang Zhong and Ding Zhongyin clasped their fists together first, and said in a deep voice, "See Your Highness for the humble job!!"

More than a dozen generals clasped their fists solemnly behind them, and shouted in unison: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince!!"

The voice is loud and deafening.

Xia Houchun raised his eyebrows, and saw more than a dozen generals of the Qinzhou army standing respectfully, behaved well, as if they were tamed.

He nodded secretly, it seems that Ding and Yang still have some tricks.

He exhaled softly, and said to Ding Zhongyin: "General Ding, is the Qinzhou Army ready?"

Before leaving the city, he asked Song Jing to send an order that Ding Zhongyin be temporarily in charge of acting as the governor, and command three thousand Qinzhou troops to go north to defend against the enemy.

Yang Zhong left 2000 people stationed in Qinzhou City to guard the city together with the city defense battalion, patrol department, and government officials.

After hearing Xia Houchun's question, Ding Zhong clasped his fists and replied with a solemn face, "Reporting to Your Highness, according to your wishes, the final general selected three thousand elite soldiers from the five thousand Qinzhou Army and the three thousand city defense battalion. Everyone can block ten with one."

"In addition, Lord Inspector has also ordered the Hucao, Bingcao, and Cangcao in the government office of Qinzhou to prepare [-] catties of fodder and [-] catties of coarse grain. Thousands of catties of coarse grains are used to prepare for the battle against Yunxiao."

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In the early days, all the food will arrive at the barracks tonight. The humble plan will arrange the food and grass to go on the road in the early morning of tomorrow. Yang Zhong will lead [-] auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands to escort them."

Xia Houchun nodded lightly: "The governor of the Song Dynasty has a heart, this favor, I have recorded it."

He then said to Yang Zhong: "Ding Zhongyin is in charge of the three thousand elites of the Qinzhou Army. You are in charge of the auxiliary soldiers, civilian husbands, etc. to escort the food and grass, and you should also be careful."

Yang Zhong nodded lightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, a humble position will not cause trouble."

In ancient times, how many people fought in wars, when they entered the battlefield, they were either shrouded in horse leather or with broken arms and legs, and it was rare for them to come back alive with all their beards and tails.

For Yang Zhong, Xia Houchun naturally had some considerations.

Although he served as the right commander of the Habayashi Army before, he relied on his family background and the support of Emperor Jing, so he didn't have much real talent. This time, he took the opportunity of going north to escort food and grass to 'temper' him.

If Xia Houchun can be satisfied, he may not be unable to reuse it.

But if you are half-hearted, chasing Qin Muchu, or still harboring evil intentions, then there is no need to keep it.

The new and old debts are settled together, and when the time comes, just find an excuse and cut it off.

Dajing favored martial arts, and the country was founded by martial arts. Apart from turning over the grains of the states to Hucao and the Ministry of Households, [-]% of the remaining part flowed to military towns in various places.

There are more than a thousand cavalry, each with a horse, and the daily ration is four catties of fodder and one catty of coarse grains, and the coarse grains must contain supplementary materials such as bean cakes, wheat bran, salt, etc., otherwise the physical strength of the horses will be greatly reduced.

And Song Jing was bleeding heavily this time.

Not only the Qinzhou garrison and the elite soldiers of the city defense battalion were mobilized, but even the food and grass were prepared twice as much.

It shows his enthusiasm and support for Xia Houchun's northward defense against the enemy.

Among the three thousand Qinzhou Army, there were two thousand infantry, one thousand cavalry, and 4000 auxiliary soldiers. There were also thousands of civilians who voluntarily went north to defend against Yunxiao. The team was not small.

The harsh whistling sound was covered by this hoarse voice.

The faces of more than a dozen generals were abrupt, and they pursed their lips without saying a word.

Even Tianxin, Shen Guangyin and others who were in real life couldn't help but look sideways.

Xia Houchun set off from Taikang in the middle of the first lunar month, passed Tongguan, turned to Dongdu, and then settled in Qinzhou.

It took half a month.

Now, it is the beginning of February.

It is only half a day away from the day when the ice melts in early spring.

In other words, once Dajing was unable to gather the enemy's forces before the ice melted, the Yunxiao cavalry would directly break through the border of Youyan, drive straight in, and gallop across thirty or forty states such as Youyan and Hanoi.

Even Bingkou Taikang is not impossible.

Xia Houchun's eyes gradually became sharper, and the majestic aura of a long-time superior slowly rose.

His eyes were indifferent, looking down at Ding Zhongyin condescendingly, his eyes were burning, and he said word by word:
"Soldiers are the most important weapons of the country. Today, I will hand over the three thousand Qinzhou elites to you. I hope you will not disappoint me!"

Ding Zhongyin suddenly lifted his trousers and knelt down on one knee.

His eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and he said word by word: "The humble official hereby issued a military order. Within fifteen days, the Qinzhou Army will arrive at the border of Youzhou as scheduled. If there is a delay, Ding Zhongyin will come to see you." !!"

Xia Houchun raised his eyebrows, and kicked Ding Zhongyin on the shoulder, "Why do I want your head? What I want is that you pull the three thousand Qinzhou army's elite soldiers into the battlefield, and then take my Qinzhou army to the battlefield." The good boy from the state was brought back intact."

Xia Houchun's words were undoubtedly 'harsh' on Ding Zhongyin.

But because the corners of Ding Zhong's eyes were wet, he knelt down and thumped.

Scholars died for their confidants, so Ding Zhong was over forty this year, but he had no merits, so he wasted several years in Tongguan, wasting time.

But being picked by Xiahou Chun, who intends to support him, he is naturally willing to serve him.

But what really convinced him was what Xia Houchun said that day on the tower of Tongguan City, "the loyal bones should be buried in the battlefield, and the shrouded body of the horse leather should be returned", which really touched his heartstrings.

Therefore, rather than saying that he served Xia Houchun, it is better to say that he served Dajing, and the people of Li people in dozens of prefectures in Dajing.

His voice was hoarse, and he said hoarsely:

"I swear to die for His Highness the Prince!!"

The other ten generals also knelt on one knee and clasped their fists together.

But Xia Houchun looked down at them expressionlessly, and said lightly:
"You are wrong, you are not serving me."

Ding Zhongyin and the others raised their heads in astonishment.

I saw Xia Houchun lightly clamping the horse's belly, raising the rein and reining in the horse, looking directly at them with burning eyes, and said slowly:
"Remember, you are serving the 1000 million households of Limin in the Great Jing Kingdom!!"

He paused and said word by word: "Fighting for the people and sacrificing one's life for the country are worthy of the name of a soldier."

The voice is loud and powerful.

Ding Zhongyin bowed completely and remained silent for a long time.

The rest of the dozen or so generals had complicated eyes, and after looking at each other, there was a hint of a smile on their faces.

Immediately holding back their smiles and clasping their fists together, they said in unison: "I will obey the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

It wasn't until this moment that they truly admired Xia Houchun.

Xia Houchun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the morale was available, and the army was cohesive, and the Qinzhou army could be used like an arm.

He flicked his horsewhip and made a sound in the air.

Snapped!
"This palace is waiting for you at the border of Youzhou!!"

As soon as the rein was lifted, the horse's hooves jumped high, and after a neigh, it galloped away.

"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince!!"

Ding Zhongyin and the others shouted loudly and respectfully.

Horseshoes burst out, Xia Houchun and others gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon under the cover of flying fog under the turbulent snow.

Qinzhou City, Spring and Autumn Hall.

That young handsome man stood with his hands behind his back.

There was a sound of stomping from the pavilion behind him, and a man dressed as a middle-aged manager hurried up.

He bowed and said in a low voice, "That one is here."

The young man suddenly turned around with a look of astonishment, "How could he go so deep?"

A resounding indifferent laughter sounded: "Why can't Gu go deep?"

The young man stared fixedly at the person coming.

He has a protruding forehead and a high nose, and his eyes are long and narrow, looking like he is not a kind person.

But he is dressed in brocade robes and pompous badges, and his condescending posture is natural. As he struts his head high, his attitude of looking down on the world and looking down on the princes is fully revealed.

He smiled deeply, and looked at the young man facing the window with a half-smile, "Why, you don't welcome the lonely king?"

The young man called 'Second Highness' was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, you are too risky."

The young man of the Xiao family stood by the window, looked far away, looked down at the entire city of Qinzhou, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about this small Qinzhou, so what if it is the eastern capital of Shenluo, the lonely king can still come and go freely."

After shaking his sleeves, His Royal Highness turned around and stood side by side with him, and smiled coldly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, I have hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Tianqiong Pavilion of Dajing, and even this king has never thoroughly found out the truth. If you capsized in the gutter, don't It's up to me."

The young man from the Xiao family laughed loudly: "The person in this world who can take Xiao Shilong's life has not yet been born!!"

Xiao Shilong, the famous Thirteenth Prince of Yunxiao.

He joined the army at the age of seven and joined the war at the age of nine.

At the age of ten, he became famous on the border between the two countries for beheading the powerful school lieutenant of Dajingyi.

Sixteen kings, among the thirteen strongest princes in the sky.

Now eighteen, he is the most powerful heir to Yunxiao's next emperor.

I saw a trace of greed flashing across his eyes, and licked his dry and chapped lips, "Your good brother has transferred three thousand elites from Qinzhou, and the city is now empty, and it is the best time to seize power and occupy this place! "

However, the 'Second Highness' was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Now is not the time."

Xiao Shilong's eyes dimmed, "It's not up to you to decide, I just let you know."

The Second Highness suddenly turned his head, "You!!"

Suddenly, there was a bang.

Qinzhou City suffered another explosion.
