Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 211 Bullying Zhaoyang, chop off your fingers!
"After today, will the prince really let the past go?"

A voice sounded, but a certain soldier asked suddenly.

The voice seemed to stand out from the crowd, and everyone's hearts moved, and they were also concerned about this issue.

Xia Houchun was displeased: "Is this palace so narrow-minded?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

He straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "If other people disrespect me, I will not take it seriously, but you are my Dajing soldiers, bound by the Dajing law, once you do anything wrong, The imperial court will definitely not forgive lightly."

They were silent.

Some people were annoyed, "Have I ever offended the crown prince? Isn't Your Highness making too much of a fuss?"

Xia Houchun's eyes were calm, and he said slowly: "There are no rules, you can't make a square, if you dare to draw your sword against me today, how will you know if you won't cut off my head next time and present it to the enemy?"

They were speechless.

Someone was evasive, and said sternly and softly: "If Your Highness hadn't forced us hard, how could we have made such a helpless move?"

"It's still the same sentence, if the prince is really willing to be magnanimous, why would he care about my crime of disrespect?"

Many people thought it was right, and some were eager to try it, and their chins were slightly raised.

The smile on Xia Houchun's face gradually faded until he was expressionless, looking down at the crowd with his hands behind his back.

With calm eyes, he said indifferently: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have done something wrong, you will be punished. This is the principle that this palace has always followed."

He looked around and said: "I think you all know that Youzhou was robbed, and the former governor, Ji Chan, rebelled and captured the entire territory of Youzhou with [-] soldiers and civilians."

Everyone's hearts were shocked when they heard the words, and their faces were slightly condensed.

Slowly said: "Youzhou is three hundred miles away from me, and infantry are not suitable for rushing, so we can only send cavalry to attack it. Wait, this is the main force of this trip."

The Jinzhou Army's complexion changed slightly, some people even turned pale, some frowned and remained silent, and some seemed unhappy.

Xia Houchun paused, "Being a soldier eats food, protects the family and the country, and protects my parents, wives and children behind me. It's not just for promotion and wealth."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "To tell you the truth, in recent years, there are no fewer central court officials who have been implicated by my unlucky prince, including old Chen Ge who was demoted to Shuozhou and old Zhang Ge who guarded Suzhou. Many ministers even died because of it."

Inside and outside the pass, they were shocked when they heard the words, and stared at the figure fixedly, for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Xia Houchun lowered his head and chuckled, his eyes were in a trance, and sighed: "When I accidentally learned that Wanning Palace and Xiao Yuanzheng were planning to usurp the throne, I made a decisive decision to seize the opportunity. Starting from capturing the demon concubine Xiao Mei, I, the crown prince, was beaten The label of 'rebellion', no matter what I say or do, will be regarded as a symbol of intention to rebel."

He spread out his hands, and smiled at the complex-looking Jinzhou army below: "This time, I summon you again to fight with me."

After they were silent for a while, someone raised his head, looked at Xia Houchun with burning eyes, and asked, "Then I wonder if the prince is going to Youzhou this time to rebel or suppress the rebellion?"

There was a moment of silence up and down, and a shortness of breath.

Xia Houchun's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "I said to suppress the rebellion, do you believe me?"

They were silent.

These days, no one is a fool, and Xia Houchun's reputation outside is mixed.

Some people believed that he had no choice but to change the palace at the beginning, but it was actually to frighten the Xiao party members.

Some people sneered, thinking that Xia Houchun just wanted to usurp the throne and seize power, and the so-called "planning the world" was just an excuse he made.

Xia Houchun's eyes were calm, and after sweeping his eyes one by one, the topic changed, "However, I have decided that this trip to Youzhou will be on a voluntary basis. Those who are willing to go to Youzhou with my palace will lead the horse out of the customs with me; those who do not want to, Stay inside the gate."

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the words, and there was an instant noise and discussions.

After finishing speaking, Xia Houchun went down the city gate stairs.

Wang Shili had already gone downstairs to get on his horse.

Everyone looked at reining in the horse, and walked towards the outside of the city gate.

The scarlet blood gown was particularly eye-catching under the scorching sun.

Soon, Chengguan Shanghua Yuanhua was like this, and after a faint glance at the five thousand Jinzhou army, he got on his horse and followed.

Wang Jin was about to go down, but Ding Zhongyin stopped him with his hand, "You are here to defend the city."

He looked startled, seemingly displeased.

Ding Zhongyin explained: "Yanmenguan still needs you to sit in the town, so I will go on this trip."

Hearing this, Wang Jin solemnly clasped her fists at him: "In this case, the dog and His Royal Highness will be handed over to Brother Ding."

Although the two are subordinate to each other, from Qinzhou to Shuozhou, and then from Shuozhou to Yanmenguan, they have supported each other along the way.

Ding Zhongyin smiled wryly: "Your son is superb in martial arts, and the prince is well-versed in Daoism, so there is no need for Ding to worry."

Wang Jin shook his head, stared at Ding Zhongyin, and said in a deep voice: "If Mr. Wang remembers correctly, Brother Ding was a lieutenant in the Northern Army of Tangtang Town back then, and he knew the pass and danger in the Youyan area well. It's on you."

After finishing speaking, he said awe-inspiringly: "I also ask the governor to put the safety of His Royal Highness as the most important thing, and you must not be negligent."

Ding Zhongyin looked at him directly, understood the meaning of his words, nodded slightly, "Don't worry."

Tian Xin glanced at Li Jin and Xia Houmo, seeming to be sarcastic.

Xiahoumo looked at Xiahouchun who appeared outside the pass, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, go, Youzhou has a big gift prepared by this prince for you, you will be surprised.

He looked down at the lonely Xiahou Chun with his hands behind his back, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to deceive the Jinzhou Army of his son, it was wishful thinking, heh, their wives and children are all in his hands, and if they want to die, they have to go through him Xiahou Mo's permission.

But then, the Jinzhou army, which had been silent for a long time, began to move.

A slightly younger Qingqi stepped out of the formation and bowed slightly towards Xiahoumo who was closing the city gate.

"What are you going to do?" The smile on Xia Houmo's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at the Qingqi with cold eyes, with murderous intent brewing in his eyes.

The man raised his eyes, as if he was looking at Xiahoumo for the first time.

He smiled: "Your Highness, don't worry, the humble official is just a nobody, and there is no one in the family, no one to kill."

Xiahoumo's face darkened instantly, "Do you know what it means to step out of this city gate?"

The man chuckled: "What does it mean? Going to the enemy and treason? Or turning from a thief to a bandit?"

He shook his head, sneered and said: "I don't know what it means to be humble, I just know that we are soldiers of Dajing, and we should return them as corpses in horse leather."

His tone paused, and he said loudly: "The people of Youzhou have suffered a war disaster and are in dire straits. If I can't wait to wipe out the rebels, who will go? Are you princes and nobles who only know how to fight for power?"

"ridiculous."

After throwing down these words, he lightly gripped the horse's belly and walked out.

Xiahoumo looked at the man's back with a gloomy expression, and the words just now slapped him hard like a slap in the face.

Burning pain.

Even the kick by Xia Houchun couldn't compare to it.

Because he was kicked by Xia Houchun, it was because he was inferior to other people, and he deliberately hid his clumsiness, and he didn't want to confront Xia Houchun head-on, but this lowly Qiu Ba in front of him dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, is he tired of working?
Oh, he said that there is no one in his family. Could it be that this son can't find your relatives and friends?

Xiahoumo's face was ferocious, and he let out a low growl like a beast.

However, it's not over yet.

Only to hear the rattling sound again.

Unexpectedly, another three Qingqi jumped out, clasped their fists towards Xiahoumo who was on the gate of the city, and smiled casually: "Your Highness, the Corporal Chief is right, soldiers eat food, since we are the people of Dajing, we should die in battle, how can we do that?" Coveting life and fearing death, nesting in this parapet?"

Xiahoumo suddenly drew out the saber at his waist, slammed it on the city wall, and shouted, "Who dares to defect? ​​I will punish him from the nine clans!!"

humming.

A flying sword pierced through the air.

It is the mountains that are getting greener.

Xiahoumo's body stiffened as if struck by lightning, and he did not dare to move at all.

He was so frightened by Xia Houchun that he formed a conditioned reflex.

Sure enough, a faint voice came from my ear: "If you dare to kill me, a Dajing soldier, I will chop off your finger again."

"If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me. Afterwards, I will personally go to the Jin Palace and behead your head."

Outside the pass, Xia Houchun reined in his head, and cast a cold glance at Xia Houmo who was closing the building: "I know you want to kill me, to be honest, I've been thinking about your head for a long time."

Xia Houmo's breath was like fire, his breathing was rapid, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Xia Houchun.

A hysterical roar came out of his mouth, "Xia Houchun!! Don't bully people too much."

For the first time, there was a trace of grievance in the voice.

Xia Houchun's eyes were cold, and he suddenly said, "Do you know why I always want to kill you?"

"Because you moved someone who shouldn't be moved."

Hearing this, the prince of Prince Jin's mansion was at a loss, did he touch someone who shouldn't?

"Who?" he asked subconsciously.

Xia Houchun turned his head away, "Zhaoyang."

Xia Houmo was astonished when he heard this.

He remembered.

When Princess Xiahoujing of Zhaoyang was living in Dongdu, he secretly ordered people under his command to capture Princess Xiahoujing of Zhaoyang as a bargaining chip to blackmail Xiahouchun.

Unfortunately, according to the reports of his subordinates, he was blocked by a group called 'commoner' from Taikang City.

And when he and Xia Houchun met for the first time in the Jin Palace, he deliberately mentioned it, intending to anger Xia Houchun.

But at that time the other party was not hit.

His face was fluctuating, and he never expected that Xia Houchun would find out about this matter.

He was silent, no more words
In this way, the Jinzhou Army has complicated eyes.

Some people's faces are cloudy and cloudy, and the prince is subdued, do they still want to resist?

Gradually, numbers, dozens of people, groups and companies of the Jinzhou army drove out of the city.

Ten people, a hundred people, 300 people.

Finally, when there were only two thousand Jinzhou troops left in the female wall, no one left.

Xiahoumo's face gradually softened, and he looked at the three thousand Qingqi outside Yanmen Pass expressionlessly.

They have been condemned to death.

His furious mind was already thinking about how to deal with their nine clans.

He didn't believe that Xia Houchun really dared to kill him.

Unless he wants to stir up internal strife in the Xiahou clan.

Xia Houchun couldn't afford this price.

He glanced coldly, and ordered without looking back: "Reorganize the army, let's go back to Jinzhou."

However, there was no respectful sound from behind, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

Li Jin, the dog leg in his heart, looked at him quietly, with disappointment, gloom and guilt in his eyes, Xia Houmo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Li Jin took a step back and bowed respectfully to Xia Houmo: "Li Jin, who is a low-ranking officer, thank you for your kindness in promoting me. These days, Li is by my side, riding on the saddle, and behind the horse, so I can repay your appreciation."

Xiahoumo's face changed, and he said sharply, "You want to betray me?"

Li Jin looked calm, and replied: "The way is different, we don't conspire with each other. Forgive the humble official's blunt words. The son is narrow-minded, and his methods are vicious and cruel. He is definitely not the appearance of a hero. It is really difficult for the humble official to admire him."

After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists and said, "I hope you will cherish it."

Xia Houmo pursed his lips and remained silent, trembling unceasingly.

He watched Li Jin walk down the tower, got on his horse, raised his arms, and thousands of people followed him.

In this way, there are only a few thousand people left in the five thousand Jinzhou army.

Xiahoumo directly slashed at the wall, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

He was so angry that he fainted.

Only the remaining thousand Jinzhou soldiers looked at each other and fell silent.

Wang Jin and Zhou Ying looked at each other and looked at each other in blank dismay.

He muttered to himself: "If you compare people, you will die, if you compare goods, you will throw them away."

"Compared with His Royal Highness, this Prince Jin's son is really far behind."
