Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 78
Qingcong splashes the first snow, and white clothes cross Luojin.

Crossing the bridge and crossing the square, one horse takes the lead, and the white iron cavalry behind him is forbidden, like a mountain like a forest.

To the north of the Luo River is Heyang, which is adjacent to the majestic Taihang in the north and the surging Jinghe River in the south. It is also a satellite city of Shenluo, the eastern capital, and a bridgehead to resist the enemy.

There is now a county town here, with a wall three feet high and nearly as thick as a wall, with a moat on the outside and a female wall building on the inside.

In the middle of winter, Heyang is shrouded in snow and night, and it seems like daytime. There is no image of "beautiful mountains and clear waters, forests of peaches and plums, and beautiful ginseng trees" as rumored.

He glanced behind him, reined in his horse and stopped, "You really won't follow me north?"

The lazy Fang Xirou glanced at the shy beauty in his arms, gritted her teeth secretly, and snorted coldly, "No need, I'm not someone who lives by men."

Murong Yan smiled lightly, his eyes rolled, as if there was a glance sent, and he sighed regretfully:
"Oh, it's a pity that sister Fang didn't go north with her sister. I want to invite my sister to meet the elders."

Fang Xirou looked terrified, clicked his tongue twice, and said quietly:
"I can't stand you saying 'Sister Fang', but I sincerely warn someone that if you want to be a vixen, you have to look at your morality. Not even a bone left."

Murong Yan smiled without saying a word, Fang Xirou secretly gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Your Highness, wait a moment."

A loud shout came from the other side of the bridge, it was not Weng Boying, whoever it was.

The two phoenixes were already having a headache, but when someone disturbed the situation, Xia Houchun felt relieved, and he laughed and said, "This guy has a good nose."

Seeing the presence of the two beauties, the panting Weng Boying stretched out a red fan embroidered with gold.

Under Xia Houchun's continuous coughing, he pretended to be coquettish and said:

"On the occasion of parting, Weng has a feeling in his heart and wants to compose a poem."

Amidst Fang Xirou's half-smile, Weng Boying coughed lightly, and after a moment of pondering, he said in a leisurely voice:

"One different capital and two different fires, the snowy land is full of mortal roads.

The ends of the sea and the sky are winding together, and the wind of a thousand miles of rivers has three leaf sculls. "

Xia Houchun laughed and scolded: "What kind of bullshit, the words don't express the meaning, and the text is wrong."

Weng Boying smiled, bowed modestly to Murong, and said gracefully: "Miss Murong, from now on, Xiao Ke will go with you."

Murong Yan smiled lightly, "Young Master Weng is being polite."

Xia Houchun pondered for a while, drove back the hundred horsemen, called Liu Wenzhen and Weng Boying to him, and said in a deep voice:
"You two will not go on the road with me."

Liu Wenzhen was taken aback, this matter was no longer in the plan, he did not approve of the prince going north alone, after all, without the escort of Qianqi Battalion, His Highness would be in great danger.

If even he can't go north with him, who will be responsible for His Highness' safety?
Therefore, he shook his head without hesitation and said: "Your servant must stay by His Highness's side, even if you kill this old slave, you will not leave you half a step."

Xia Houchun comforted him and said: "My palace has already cooperated with General Qin to resist the barbarians in the north. After the spring, the Eastern Metropolis will form an army to defend against the enemy. I want to leave this matter in your hands."

This matter was originally proposed by Qin Rui, Xia Houchun thought that the other party had been trapped in a cage for a long time, and wanted to come out and dance a few times.

But after all, it is an army, so carelessness should not be underestimated. After some careful consideration, it is more at ease to decide to send your confidant to lead.

Even though it is very likely that this will arouse the anger of the court, but now he can be regarded as having too many lice and is not afraid of itchiness. He has even done "conspiracy" and is afraid of building an army.

Weng Boying's face moved when he heard the words, and his eyeballs kept rolling. He never wanted to wear the Wu hook.

A good man will get fame and fortune immediately, so how can he wander in the gentle town, watching the prince's meaning, could it be that his own family also has a time to be in charge of the army?

Liu Wenzhen's complexion changed slightly, and she said anxiously: "Your Highness, the slaves are only disabled in the eunuch temple, how can they lead the soldiers, isn't this embarrassing you, Your Highness?"

How can Xia Houchun not know that the eunuch party is in trouble, Xia Houchun has seen many times in the previous dynasties, but now he has not many people who can use him. Those civil servants and military generals look at their lover, but none of them are loyal to him. Even Weng Boying was snatched by him, which shows how stretched his talents are.

After Xia Houchun sighed secretly, he nodded to Liu Wenzhen and said with a smile: "You are the great eunuch of my East Palace, your rank is close to the sixth rank, and you are qualified to command an army, not to mention General Qin and Mr. Fang are sitting in the East Capital, so nothing serious will happen. .”

He paused, and said in a gentle voice: "I still want you to fight with me in the north and south in the future. Could it be that you don't want to?"

When these words got agitated, Liu Wenzhen was so moved that she got off her horse and cried loudly:
"Your Highness, you treat your servants with such deep affection and righteousness, the old slave has nothing to repay, nothing to repay."

Xia Houchun smiled loudly and helped him up.

Then he turned his head to look at Weng Boying, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly, "Would Boying help me?"

Before coming to the Eastern Capital, Weng Boying would have been upright, screaming with his neck straight: How can Weng be a lackey?
Now, after hearing a thud, Weng Boying said categorically: "Your Highness, please do not hesitate to order, I am willing to serve the prince and die for the sake of my heart!"

Hey, the attitude of seeing death as home is revealed.

Liu Wenzhen wiped away her tears, pursed her mouth, this lustful and greedy person, the old slave is ashamed to be with him.

Xia Houchun who was on the horse nodded lightly, supported Weng Boying from a distance, and said softly:
"Since you are under my account, you are a member of my East Palace staff. The establishment of the new army must involve a lot, and Boying still needs to worry about it."

Weng Boying looked like a good minister and a wise master, with an excited expression, full of tears, and almost choked up:
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty, I have been in a humble position for many years, but I have almost achieved nothing. Now that I have been appreciated by His Majesty, I am grateful to Bo Yingming, and I have nothing to do but repay him with my own body."

The words were so sincere that even Fang Xirou, who was always venomous, couldn't help but look sideways. Could it be that this color had changed.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least Xia Houchun is quite satisfied with this work attitude, and smiled warmly, "Then it will be troublesome."

Immediately, he gave the two more instructions, and after explaining the recruiting, training, armor and clothing, and food and payment of the new army, the topic ended.

Weng Boying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, how should we explain to Taikang when we build an army?"

Xia Houchun smiled and asked, "When did we build the army?"

Weng Boying suddenly realized, bowed down and said: "I understand!"

Before leaving, Liu Wenzhen respectfully said: "Please also give the title of the new army, Your Highness."

After thinking for a while, Xia Houchun said: "You are the servants of the palace, what you do is follow the orders of the heavens, and do the things of protecting the family and the country, so call them the strategist army."

The Tiance Army, with a full quota of [-], is composed of veterans from the Zhaoyi Army and recruited soldiers who dared to fight from the Eastern Capital. Although it is not comparable to the Zhaoyi Army and the Dongyan Army, if it is tempered by Youyan, it will become more powerful. But the army fought fiercely.

He was in a hurry, and Xia Houchun was also in a hurry to go to the doctor. Before the Yunxiao Nankou, he could hold as many cards as he could.

After everything was in order, Xia Houchun nodded lightly to Fang Xirou, Liu Wenzhen and the others, then lifted the reins and called out in a vibrating voice: "Drive!"

A white horse comes out of Luo, accompanied by a hundred riders, just like a silver dragon coming out of a ravine, and a white tiger coming out of a mountain.
