Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 81 The tip of the iceberg

Taixing Jingxing is the best of the eight Xings.

Throughout the ages, this road has been the only way for merchants to pass through. It connects the east and the west of Taihang, and the traders trade in an endless stream, so it is called "the thoroughfare of Shanxi and Hebei".

On horseback, Jiang Weijun died, and after being "tortured" by Xia Houchun, he finally revealed the truth.

In fact, he was not looking for Xia Houchun to ask for help, but actually wanted to trick Qin Rui into going north to make contributions and do a big job.

Unexpectedly, after exhausting his words, he returned without success.

But there is no unparalleled road, and when the prince came to the west, he said in horror that "Xiang Chen has fallen".

"That is to say, Mr. Chen Ge is fine?" Xia Houchun frowned, his expression ugly.

Tuan Tuan Zhuan who was being teased by others, because he believed in Jiang Weijun's words, Xia Houchun broke his wings, not only sent out the black robe guards, but also asked Liu Wenzhen and others to stay in the eastern capital to recruit soldiers. Maybe the matter will not be successful by then. Then Taikang sent someone to chop him with a knife.

Jiang Weijun was apprehensive, glanced quietly at Xia Houchun, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The original intention of my humble job is to deceive too much, oh no, it is to persuade some generals to go north to defend against the enemy, so as to reduce the pressure on the soldiers on the border."

As he said that, he slapped himself severely, "Damn the lowly position, the lowly position is greedy for profit, and wants to trick the prince to go north, and go to the dangerous situation in person, and even nine deaths will not forgive the lowly position."

Xia Houchun glanced at him with a half-smile, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'm not a small-hearted person, the crime of deceiving the superior and the inferior will be discussed after the war."

"After the war?" Jiang Weijun was stunned.

This person was still in a coma before, so he didn't know the secret note passed down by Xiao Jiyue.

Xia Houchun's eyes were serious, and he said slowly: "As you said, the clouds have descended south."

Jiang Weijun's expression changed, and he blurted out: "Impossible!"

Seeing the determination on his face, Fang Xirou moved closer, and said with pursed lips, "How is it impossible? Open your eyes and see what this is?"

She stretched out her hand and grasped it out of thin air, and then she held Feixue with half of her fist.

With a gentle blow, the snowflakes fall, one after another, so beautiful.

She squinted at the beauty in the padded jacket on the other side who was concentrating on inspecting the snowflakes, and said in a leisurely voice: "This girl is not like some southern barbarians, as if she has never seen snow in her life. She has traveled all over the world for many years, and she also knows a little about the Northland." Some."

She paused, and said slowly: "Yunxiao is located in the northwest of Dajing, and has lived in the northern wilderness, Mobei, and the west of Liaodong for generations. The only time of the year is the summer solstice, which is comparable to my spring time. It is barely warm and flowers bloom. The seasons are like spring.

In the remaining three seasons, it rains and snows all the year round, and white disasters ravage most of the time. It can be said that "hundred ghosts have often been guests since ancient times, so how can there be a peaceful and stable year". "

Jiang Weijun said angrily: "I am well aware of the severe cold in the north, if we cannot withstand this suffering, we would have frozen to death long ago."

The masked man was silent, and after Murong sighed quietly, he said softly: "Yunxiao is full of troubles, and the white ghost night came suddenly. Although the people of Yunxiao are wild and tall, they are only flesh and blood after all, and cannot withstand the wind and snow all year round. The coldness of the bones will shorten the lifespan if it persists for a long time."

Fang Xirou snorted softly, not to be outdone, and said: "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that a white disaster will fall, which is enough to ruin most of Yunxiao's family."

Xia Houchun had heard about the snow disaster in the north, no matter in his past or present life, he still remembered it deeply. After all, when the snow fell overnight, at least a million livestock were frozen to death.

Those are not just livestock, but also the lifeblood of the northerners.

Regardless of Yunxiao or Dajing, they all went to war because of a "white disaster".

The masked man's lips twitched, and the taciturn guardian finally spoke, and said in a shy voice, "There is no justice between the two countries, but it is all about the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people."

Yunxiao is mainly nomadic, known as the "country on horseback", living by water and grass, moving to the ground, setting up fences, and setting up camps, just like steamed buns.

Jiang Weijun glanced coldly at the masked man, and he snorted coldly: "If you offend me Dajing, you will definitely die. The great grandfather said that my Dajing family is small, and I can't stand squandering, and every inch of land will be fought for!"

Yang Zhong also said in a low voice: "He Yunxiao people are human beings, but I, Dajing border people, are not human beings? What kind of bullshit logic is this?"

Xia Houchun waved his hand to stop, and after pondering for a while, he made a conclusion on this issue, "Although the southern bandits in Yunxiao were severely injured by the white disaster, they urgently need to recover. There is nothing wrong with this matter. It is fine to donate clothes, food, and spring seeds, even as long as it is not a prohibited item, there is nothing wrong with the border market.”

Jiang Weijun's face was dark, Yang Zhong looked at Xia Houchun with pursed lips, only heard his tone pause, and said slowly: "But if you use this as an excuse to invade, kill my people, burn my house, and destroy my fertile land, It’s unbearable.”

Although his tone was light, his words were full of wrath and unquestionable majesty, "In short, if you are respectful and polite, I will treat you with the courtesy of a prince or even a king; Killing and looting is like a bandit, and it is an enemy of my whole Dajing."

He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Those who offend me will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

The words were so loud that Murong's eyes kept flickering, and the masked man remained silent.

Jiang Weijun's face softened, and Yang Zhong looked away.

As long as you don't embarrass your ancestors.

Although His Majesty is arrogant and extravagant, and favors the courtiers, but after all, he has the merits of expanding the territory, and he conquered the clouds in the north, and chased the remnants of the former Yan in the south. Still able to control the government for many years.

Martial arts advances further, martial arts postpones, and the old man has practiced the word "benevolence" all his life.

Xia Houchun turned his head to look at Jiang Weijun, and asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "Master Jiang has been in Suzhou for many years, how much do you know about the troops stationed in various places?"

When the prince asked, Jiang Weijun naturally did not dare to neglect, after a little deliberation, he clasped his fists and said:
"Reporting to Your Highness, since His Majesty Taizong's imperial conquest, the military and political power in the North has long been dismantled into multiple parties."

He sighed softly, "There are military generals who collude with local tycoons, and all these tyrants will intimidate the village in order to maintain the prestige and prestige of the village.

The generals enjoyed powerful food and salaries to support the relatives of the soldiers. They called this move "mutual benefit and win-win". "

"There is also the fact that the two lines of civil and military, which are originally distinct, are connected vertically and horizontally by means of 'in-laws, oaths, and apprenticeships'. The internal and external connections have long been integrated without distinction between each other."

"Even bribe the court officials to blind the central line of sight, or coerce and lure the inspectors, inspectors, and observation envoys to confuse black and white, distort the court's sight, and turn the northern towns into independent vassal states."

He paused, and after sneaking a glance at Xia Houchun, he said helplessly:

"In the name of private banquets, the princes and nobles widely invited civil servants and military generals in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Quartet, and generously rewarded them, and enlisted them under their command to achieve the purpose of buying people's hearts. Live in him."

With complicated eyes, he sighed and said quietly, "And this is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Dive deep into the abyss, endless." Xia Houchun muttered to himself.

The pool of water in Beidi is really not that deep.
