Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 212 Let the prince decide! (Seeking a monthly ticket, asking for a collection, asking for a recommendation!)

Youzhou, the place where Emperor Taizong Xiahou Zhaofeng became the king's vassal.

From a cultural point of view, Youzhou is different from Jinzhou, the ancestral home of the Xiahou family. Youyan has a tough folk style, loves martial arts and fights, and practices riding and shooting since childhood, so there are many brave and healthy men. The cavalry are all from Youyan.

Geographically speaking, Youzhou, once one of the ancient Kyushu states, started from Liaodong in the east and extended to the central part of Korea; it reached Dingxiang and Jinzhou in the west; Cangzhou and even Jizhou in the south; Grassland Royal Court.

It's a pity that since the fall of the former Yan, the territory of the Central Plains once lost all the grasslands south of Mobei, including Dingxiang County, which was taken away by Yunxiao.

And Youzhou has also changed from the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to two or three prefectures of Youyan, and most of its territory has been reduced to a place where northern captives ravaged.

Since the territory north of Dingxiang fell into Yunxiao's hands, the Dajing Ranch gradually moved southward. Because Youzhou is full of plains, the land is fertile, the grass grows long and the horses are fat, so most of the Dajing war horses are produced here.

During the period of Taizu Xiahouyuan and Taizong Xiahouzhao, chaos arose frequently in the northern land. Northern barbarians, Zahu, Dongyang, Xigui and other barbarians mixed with fish and dragons. During this period, Youyan was affected by the change of dynasty, and the official majesty was reduced to the lowest level. Also, all the men of Youyan were brave, and the horses were healthy and fat. Without any accident, many horse thieves, wild bandits, soldiers, etc. were born. The grass-throwing party and the green forest hero.

Of course, there is no doubt that since Emperor Taizong took control of the emperor's seal and ascended the throne, the banditry in Youyan was wiped out by the government and the army.

But pacification does not mean eradication, not to mention the fact that banditry is endlessly burned by wildfire and reborn by the spring breeze.

In just 20 years, Youyan, a fertile land that can be called the land of the Four World Wars, has successively produced several powerful and powerful horse bandits and bandits.

These thieves hide in the deep mountains and dense forests far away, and they break up into pieces in the nearer, lurking in the countryside, counties and towns, and nesting in the farmers' homes in mountain villages.

There are even bold people who dare to collude with powerful landlords in secret, negotiate money with high-ranking lords, exchange machetes for food, and pay "taxes" for heads, intimidating local officials to submit.

On a high slope fifty miles east of Yanmen Pass, Xia Houchun and his group climbed up and gazed at the endless stretch of towering mountains. It was Qingliang Mountain, and it was the place where Monk Shichan wanted to build a temple.

It's a pity that it is now occupied by a Taoist sect, so what can I do for those who know cicadas.

Xia Houchun glanced back, Murong Yan and Zhang Mingyue were there, and even Yao Chong came.

Song Xiaowan was seriously injured, Xia Houchun originally intended to place her in Yanmen Pass to recuperate, but this girl was unwilling to live or die, so after waking up, she pestered Guo Rong and Zhang Mingyue to chase her brother the prince.

No one knows how much pain and loneliness this eccentric Miss Song family has hidden in her heart since her parents both died. Otherwise, she would not have had nothing to do to be hostile to their Song family's Wang's mansion. In the pretense of it, she was looking at Mrs. Wang on behalf of her grandfather, but in fact she was too busy and wanted to wander around the city by herself.

And since old man Song Song He submitted to the Taikang Center, Song Xiaowan was thrown to Xia Houchun before the process of Emperor Jing issuing the letter of appointment, asking for the name and accepting the recruitment, and accepting the recruitment was completed.

This old man who has become an official official knows better than anyone else that Xia Houchun is the prince of a country, and the Sangong and Six Courts are necessary in the future. If his precious granddaughter can't catch the prince's heart, the future will inevitably be bleak.

But if she can share the joys and sorrows with the crown prince, coupled with deep affection and affection, the lowest in the future will be the position of concubine. Not only will Wan'er be safe for the rest of her life, maybe she will be able to benefit the descendants of the Song family.

Of course, Song Xiaowan's liking is the most important thing. Even if she hadn't fallen in love with Xia Houchun, Song He would not have given Song Xiaowan to Xia Houchun in such a hurry.

If they don't want to, let alone a mere prince, even the emperor will not be able to do it. For example, when Taizong killed indiscriminately, he violated the fundamental interests of the nine families, and he got a little stiff with these high-ranking families, causing the princess of the Xiahou clan None of the princes married the nine great families.

Later, when Emperor Hong came to the throne, he expressed the intention of reconciliation many times, and ordered the local government to impose more lenient and gentle policies on these noble families. Only then did the two parties break the ice and the relationship began to ease.

The little girl held the horse's belly in a strange way, drank the horse crisply and walked to Xia Houchun's side, stretched out her delicate and white goose neck, coughed lightly, and gave Xia Houchun a head tilt, "You don't want to go down!" Do you want to comfort your soldiers?"

Tianxin rolled her eyes, "They're not fools, there's a difference between pretentiousness and sincerity."

Xia Houchun smiled: "Xiao En Xiaohui can't understand them. The reason why I am willing to follow me this time is because I have the righteousness to suppress the rebellion. Otherwise, I would never take the risk of being ransacked by my cousin to suppress the rebellion." of."

He paused, and said softly in a complex tone: "In the eyes of these soldiers, protecting the peace of this river and mountain will always be the first priority."

Ding Zhong, who was on the outside, was awe-inspiring, and said in a stern voice: "What His Royal Highness said is very true. Although many of the rebels are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, I dare to pat my chest and assure you that there are very few people in the Jing Kingdom." Those who are soldiers, most hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the wives and children behind us can live a peaceful life in peace and stability."

Everyone heard the words and nodded silently.

These words can only be touched by people who have experienced the war.

Shi Chan's eyes wandered, and she glanced at Qingliang Mountain from time to time, seemingly sighing, but in reality she was constantly thinking about small things, and her small calculations were being made very fast.

After leaving Jinzhou, he went to Qingliang Mountain once. At that time, Xia Houchun promised that "480 temples in the south of the Yangtze River", including the steep peaks of Lingshan Mountain, which is now occupied by Taoists, can become Buddhist temples.

But the premise is that he knows the cicadas and follows them all the time, and contacts the Buddhist master group headed by Bailong Temple Puji and the eminent monk Giving Bao for Xia Houchun to escort Xia Houchun.

After all, Xia Houchun didn't want to be killed by that Xiao Hanchen again.

Competing within the same rank, Xia Houchun will not refuse anyone who comes, but now the Daoist sect doesn't talk about martial arts, and directly bullies the younger with the big, then he can't bear it anymore, and he tied the banner of Buddhism without hesitation to contend against him. The Taoist left-wing extremist forces headed by Xuanzong.

Murong Yan beside him looked ashamed, "Brother Shi, I was negligent and let that Sun Fengwei escape again."

When this matter was mentioned, the corner of Xia Houchun's mouth twitched.

It turned out that when Xia Houchun led Qingqi to rescue Yanmen Pass, but he didn't know the specific situation of Yanmen Pass, and the situation was urgent, so Xia Houchun took a step ahead and left Murong Yan, Song Xiaowan, Guo Rong and others where they were.

Guo Rong, on the other hand, assumed the responsibility of guarding and took care of Sun Fengwei.

However, with all the secrets left behind, Sun Fengwei took advantage of the opportunity of going to the bathroom with Murong Yan to escape.

Afterwards, Guo Rong woke up in time and tried to catch up, but Sun Fengwei was so cruel that she used her magic skills at the cost of crippling an arm, and fled away. When destroying flowers, let her escape in vain.

Murong Yan was extremely guilty, but he was quietly relieved.

She has complicated emotions, and knows that Sun Fengwei and Xia Houchun have enmity, and should be killed; but because they are both women, they bear the hatred of their father and family at the age of Ji, and their life experience is rough, extremely pitiful, so they feel pity, and they can't bear it. Sun Fengwei was punished in this way.

In this way, hesitating, with complicated and contradictory emotions, and being entangled and tactful, Sun Fengwei finally took advantage of the loophole and escaped.

But Xia Houchun didn't blame her, just patted Murongyan's wrist, and said with a gentle smile: "To be superior, there is no shortage of thunderbolt means and a thunderous heart, but only compassion and forgiveness, with you by my side, I will not be self-willed and bloodthirsty."

Strictly speaking, Murong Yan is not the heart of the Holy Mother, she just feels that she and Sun Fengwei share the same illness, and she just can't bear it.

But then again, if Murong Yan had a heart of stone, with a perverse and ruthless personality, and vicious means, Xia Houchun would not really feel at ease, at least he would not regard such a person as his own.

This world is like this, not only good people like kind people, but also vicious people like kindness, at least be with kind people who are lenient and kind, and don't worry about being stabbed in the back by the other side.

Zhang Mingyue and Yao Chong followed behind. The distance between the two of them seemed far away and sometimes close. People were baffled and puzzled, especially the middle-aged swordsman Guo Rong, who held his sword around his chest and secretly glanced at Yao with contempt. Chong, I swear in my heart that a seven-foot man is so hesitant and twitchy, it really embarrasses us men.

He hated him for not arguing and angered him with a cold snort, and directly pulled his horse aside.

On the contrary, Yao Chong and Zhang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, then looked at each other subconsciously, and then quickly moved away.

There is haziness and mystery in worrying about gains and losses, demanding and hopeful hidden in pretending to be serious, under the taut pretty face and pretending to be calm and rough cheeks, each retains apprehension and tension.

It was even more thrilling than a spy war, and more cautious than fighting in battle.

Tian Xin glanced at Murong Yan lightly, then sneered at Xia Houchun: "Just let her get used to her, she will cause trouble for you one day."

Murong Yan lowered his head, a little at a loss.

Song Xiaowan tilted her head to look at the two of them, then turned her head to look at Murong Yan, and smiled innocently and brightly: "Sister Murong is not afraid, whoever dares to bully you in the future, I will beat him to the teeth."

After finishing speaking, she patted her small hill vigorously, there was a loud crash, and she waved her small powder fist again, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see any aggressiveness, but she was a little silly and cute, super fierce and cute kind of.

This scene made Tianxin unable to bear to look directly at it. This silly girl defeated Xia Houchun just because of her innocence.

Murong Yan raised her head and looked at Song Xiaowan with a pure smile. The discomfort hidden in her heart gradually dissipated. After hesitating for a while, she gave Song Xiaowan a smiling face and said softly: "Okay, sister will remember this, you It's the same, if anyone bullies you in the future, just come to me."

Tianxin was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he would add fuel to the flames. His sword eyebrows and star eyes raised immediately: "Okay, if you let me know who dares to let you down in the future, I will cut off his dog's head with a sword! Hang it on the sky, as a warning to others." !"

The voice was harsh and murderous.

Even the mount under him subconsciously retracted the ponytail.

The rest of the people looked at their noses, their noses, their noses, their hearts, and their attitudes were nothing to do with themselves, as if they were making it clear that such things as heartbreakers had nothing to do with them.

Only Xia Houchun's face turned serious, he nodded seriously and thoughtfully, and said: "If you make a beauty feel infatuated, you must not be a son of man."

At this time, the horses neighing down the mountain, the [-] Jinzhou troops led by Ding Zhongyin and Hua Yuanhua were resting.

Xia Houchun turned his head and told Wang Shili: "Send an order to Dudu Ding and the others to continue to set off after half an hour of repairs. We must rush to Youzhou as quickly as possible!"

Wang Shili respectfully promised, and was about to go down to deliver the order.

Unexpectedly, the accident happened again.

I saw smoke and dust rising from the northeast, and iron cavalry came from the east.

The scouts shouted loudly: "Report! Twenty thousand iron cavalry in Yunxiao invaded Weizhou, and the governor of Weizhou asked for help! Your Highness, please make a decision!"

　[ps: I’m going to overhaul the first few dozen chapters, and make good revisions according to the suggestions from book friends; in addition, I’ve been reading "Book of Tang" recently, and I’ve read [-] volumes to "Empress Empress Wu Zetian Built the Zhou Dynasty Tang", and I will read the book of Tang When it's over, just read "Sun Tzu's Art of War" because you need to fight a few big battles in Youyan Prefecture.Then it is estimated that September will start the second volume of the white dragon fish suit to improve the strength of the journey. 】
